Chapter 556: A Few Cards for Kane
Kane had discovered a long time ago that the underworld of Azeroth was just as primitive, a rival to the abyssal world.
If you have to say that there is hell and death, on the side of the Broken Isles, Hela corresponding to Valhalla Odin is one, and Zandalara's lonely old man Bonsandy can also be counted as one.
The concept of the cycle of life and death has not been introduced into the culture, and the spirit body is prone to wandering around without a fixed place after death, especially in the world of high demons, where extraordinary energy is diffused, and the probability is greatly increased.
The soul is a nuisance to the living. Similar things have long been numb to the creatures of this world.
Kane, on the other hand, aimed at these spirits from the perspective of utilization.
In the words he had told Onexia about it: "There are not enough living people, but the dead make up." ”
He chatted with Onexia more openly, not because the two were husband and wife, but more importantly, Onexia's moral lower limit was relatively low.
It has to be said that the deeper you develop, the more secrets Kane has. The plan to deal with this group of degenerates like this one obviously cannot be exposed.
In Soras, or most of the people of this world, even the fallen should not be punished too much.
How do you say that?
Killing people is not enough.
Moreover, these people were all former expeditionary forces of the Northern Expeditionary Force, and they also made contributions.
People settle accounts, like to pay off the merits, and then close the coffin, like these people, if there is really a need to kill, then kill, but please do not blaspheme.
Kane's plan of dealing with it is, strictly speaking, blasphemous.
The soul was directly dispersed by him with relevant technical means and returned to the world.
The shell, on the other hand, was made into a container by another set of means for the spirit body he chose to lodge.
This is the core of his 'Resurrection Army' plan.
Of course, everything has been greatly changed, so there is no need to retain the original appearance. The spirit itself has unfulfilled wishes, which is annoying enough, and it would be too bloody to add the people and things associated with the skin.
In general, the resurrection army plan is not cost-effective.
The main reason is that Kane is not sure how much value these selected characters can play.
What if? These are all former heroes, and the performance should not be bad, right?
Kane doesn't like to hear this, how can there be so many affirmations? Time has passed, and these once powerful characters are likely to be unadaptable, and they are very likely to cause trouble because of their last wishes, and finally offset the value, and even have to organize to clean up the mess for them, reflecting a negative value.
Kane is more of a believer in stability.
Like his swarm, puppets, this is stable, and the value it can play, he has a spectrum, and he doesn't have so many private matters.
An important reason for this resurrection army plan is that if he doesn't stretch out his hand, then the enemy will reach out.
In the original historical line, when it comes to Kelldaron, many people may not be able to think of it for a while, but when it comes to the Psychic Academy, no one does not know it.
Why? There are psychic mages who are good at doing things, and these mages deal with the undead and the undead, and they don't say whether their methods are evil or not, but their role cannot be ignored.
It's not that Kane can't catch the spirits and destroy them, so that they can return to dust and dust, the problem is that he has engaged in his own labor, sticking fees, and not making money, and his organization is really not rich enough to do that.
To put it cheesily, you must make money to do things, and this thing can be done. Including war. Otherwise, he will fight poorer and poorer, his foundation is already thin, and he will quickly fight until his hair is exhausted, what will he laugh at the end?
So, the resurrection army plan is, in a way, waste utilization.
He, the nominally sanctimonious Apostle of the Light, was actually very good at hiding filth.
And he is proactive, grabbing dirty resources with his opponents.
Dark, evil, negative spiritual energy......
The true Holy Light lineage, like Uther, against these extraordinary powers that are contrary to the nature of their strength, is generally to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. The power of the Holy Light that had been painstakingly accumulated was neutralized by the rival extraordinary power in the confrontation.
As for that, when I saw those paladins, as long as their emotions came up, suddenly the holy light exploded, like a god descending to earth, very sharp and explosive.
That's right, but Kane wants to say that the action of exploding seeds is the same as the physical explosion, not endless, and those who play with the physical explosion are easy to exhaust their life force and die early, and those who have an old spirit explosion are prone to sudden death of the soul.
He doesn't like this number of positive and negative canceling paths. What's more important is the choice he has.
than evil, than dark, to see who plays more slippery.
If the Burning Legion, and even its various minions, represent a demonic line similar to the bottomless abyss in the DND universe. Then he is committed to creating the nine-layer Bato Hell, the Dark Order.
Therefore, the Lich King created the Knights of the Black Blade, and he, with the resurrection army plan, created the Knights of the Black Blade.
The blade of the sword is against the blade, and the tip of the needle is against the wheat, to see who is sharper.
In addition, Kane has always believed that the human world is a world of faces, so he pays more attention to the image.
Like these black-bladed knights, they won't get black fog, evil light scurrying around, and they can smell the unique stench in the wind.
No, Kane deliberately asked his research team to work on this side and solve the problem in the form of war tattoos. You can't see the original skin color of each tattoo, just like wearing a close-fitting floral shirt. But the purpose has also been achieved, the overflowing energy, after the war paint treatment, is ice blue, even the light in the eyes is this color, with the tailor-made double armor (inner lock outer plate), that is called a cold and ruthless bully!
Horseback riding, no! That's not forced, to be a dragon knight, the ancestral dragon that was brought back from Northrend has been transformed and cultivated, and its appearance is similar to the iron hoop progenitor dragon of Ulduar in the storm cliffs, the color of iron blue, the runes of ice blue, and the breath is also frost, and the mouth is always cold......
It must be handsome, so that adults can inspire the kind of handsomeness that they dreamed of when they were young, so that people rarely pay attention to the essence behind it.
Kane's side is playing a one-stop assembly line for production and assembly, and the Black Blade Knight Project has not been prepared for a day or two. As soon as the materials are in place, they are produced immediately, and a legion is born, which is quite magical, and it is about to catch up with the big change.
Kane was pleased with this and felt that he had lived up to his years of hard work. After decades of success, it has finally borne fruit in this kind of thing.
After the birth of the Knights of the Black Blade, Kane simply took stock of his strength.
The Shadow Force, with the Twelve Battleship Hall as the core, is an intelligence organization similar to Jinyiwei and Mission Impossible agents.
In the past, he was shabby and depressed, and he could only transform the dead orcs into flesh and blood golems, and then use the method of activating the constructs to gain wisdom and cultivate them.
Now, there is an elite intelligence group based on special drakes and orcs, as well as a general intelligence group with a hodgepodge of various creatures.
This is a big organization, if you count the shadows lurking in the forces including tribes, venture capital companies, etc., Ding Kou has exceeded 3,000, and if you count the more peripheral informants, it will be tens of thousands.
He has always attached great importance to intelligence work, and has always given priority to investment and taken the lead in development, so this intelligence agency is very strong. To put it mildly, if he wants to, tomorrow he can bring a collective change of leaders among the major forces in Azeroth.
And then there is Freemasonry.
Freemasonry was able to develop mainly because there were no constraints, and the continent of Northrend was large enough to develop in a joyful way. And with the Lich King's Scourge Legion as the villain, Freemasonry grew rapidly, and it was not easy to survive a shortage of materials.
They are doing well in Northrend right now.
The place in Northrend is not all permafrost ice fields, even Greenland, and mossy fields, and Northrend is deliberately under the actions of the Titans, but there is the world's oldest Sorazar Botanical Garden.
That's right, Kane called the Sorazar Basin a botanical garden. He benefited from it. Rather, it was Quel'Salas's magically altered kind, and he disdained it.
If he really wants to play magic reform, he has the confidence to beat those elves, after all, he has the relevant information of the Vientiane Gate system is just an endorsement, and he wants the original sample, so that he can control and transform it fundamentally.
A year ago, Freemasonry was an exporter of resources, including fur and species, but this year it will be able to produce products and make up for it.
This underground fortress like Kane's is fed by that side. After all, the family business is not big enough, and the whereabouts of a large amount of materials are unknown, and the officials of Solas and even the Falken Kingdom are not blind or foolish, and they will arouse suspicion. And if he wants to raise a large army, he must not lack supplies.
Therefore, on the side of Freemasonry, the main thing is farming and production, rather than fighting with natural disasters all day long.
This core tenet is also in line with the interests of the indigenous races who have fled to Freemasonry and sought refuge. They mainly want to live a stable life, not to fight blood.
Of course, they also know that peace needs to be guarded, and that the tribes are not without brave warriors, who are organized by Freemasonry and are a force to be reckoned with.
For example, being a guide, scout, or something, these people know the local climate, environment, and so on, and with this, they can get a lot of points in the daily cold war with the Scourge Legion.
After all, most of the members of the Scourge's Legion have a bad brain, and even if their IQ is online, they often have shortcomings, and those who play with the power of evil can have no side effects? A major side effect is irritability, psychological distortion, and often muddy, and even sometimes similar to drunken short films, and they don't know what they have done for a period of time.
It is conceivable that if you don't make a fuss about your wisdom when interacting with such an enemy, you will really give up your strengths and don't use Lo.
Therefore, the Freemasonry encouraged its subordinates to play cold guns, guerrilla warfare, sports warfare, and so on, in line with the red-headed document issued by Kane.
The Lich King was also annoyed by the Freemasons' troubles for a while, so he pretended to send a freshly built floating fortress to fight it, and one faction was two, he thought that the Freemasons had no strength, so they could only play some ghost tricks and engage in his Scourge Legion piecemeal.
Needless to say, a big slap was taken back to reflect on it, and it is said that a group of crypt spiders were killed for this purpose.
Kane thought the Lich King's behavior was good. If you have anger, you should sprinkle it on the technicians, kill hard, it's best to kill all the immortal Eldrunirub people, the Scourge Legion, it's enough to have fangs and claws, what kind of armament do you want, it's really redundant.
In any case, the situation on the side of Freemasonry is good, but it is unrealistic to expect to send a large army to command him in battle. He didn't expect the natives to be the main force, with seven tall and eight short, fat and thin. From a logistical point of view, it's definitely hellish difficulty, even if he has a swarm system, he doesn't want to find that boring.
Then down there are the Knights Templar.
The weakness of this force is that it is bound by worldly morality.
To put it bluntly, a large part of their use is to decorate the façade.
Honor guard?
Well, almost, kind of interesting.
Can you fight? Yes. It's just that he is reluctant, these paladins, the selection process is more difficult than the members of the Tiananmen flag squad in his hometown, and the key problem is the insufficient population base.
So, for this force, Kane's subconscious, the usage is to pick up the fruit, the basic overall situation has been decided, hey, they appear on the stage, shine to win the most glorious battle, and accept flowers and applause at the foreground.
Who's going to do the hard work? A lot of it is the Clover Guild.
This guild has the most wild channels, with the goblin's hot sand group as a springboard, and any line can be connected, and the personnel composition is also the most mixed.
Their combat effectiveness is difficult to accurately measure, and Kane is also beneficial to integrate the mercenary mode into it, so this organization still has completed a lot of tasks, from digging birds' eggs to assassinating dignitaries.
Of course, it is impossible for an organization like this to not have a core force to control the field, otherwise those fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs will have ideas, and in the end the organization will be in a miasma.
Clover itself means lucky, so the guards of this organization are called the Good Luck Guards, with more than two hundred people, either sharp or rui, really sharp and lucky, and the ordinary members of the organization are very convinced.
However, in Kane's eyes, the Clover Guild is a place to take in 'fleas', with its existence, the Falken Kingdom, and even under his rule, the society is basically peaceful and kind, which is very good for stabilizing the social atmosphere, and the Clover Guild also has the need to maintain and develop.
And then there's the newly formed Knights of the Black Blade. This force is equipped with puppet combat power, and Kane positions it as a sharp weapon, doing dirty work, black work, the large one, and the small one has a ghost.
Whether they are competent or not will need to be tested by time and events.
Finally, there is the swarm, the drake orcs are only now starting mass production, and the annual production is not much, it is difficult to catch up with the invasion of the Burning Legion, but it is still necessary to develop, after all, Azeroth is known for many disasters, and this is just the beginning.
