32 Crowned with life
In the 20th year of the Dark Gate, a piece of good news spread throughout the kingdom of Lordaeron, and Alsace was truly triumphant. Alsace officially set foot on the land of Lordaeron, and only a few people were left who followed Arthas back, and Arthas's face became more cold, and his original blonde hair turned into snow-white. However, this did not prevent the Kingdom of Lordaeron from celebrating him, after all, Arthas had been through a lot of battles, and those who knew that they had lived through the War of the Dead.
Terenus also fell seriously ill due to depression after Arthas's departure, and he thought that his son would never return. When the news of Arthas's return reached the palace, Terenus burst into tears. Now that he is old and frail, Lordaeron also needs to lead the people for the new king, and Prince Arthas has really proved himself with his strength, and Terinari immediately prepares for the coronation ceremony in the palace, and as soon as Arthas returns to the palace, he will immediately coronate Arthas.
On this day, the bells of Lordaeron rang through the sky, the red carpet stretched from the gates to the royal palace, and the city was full of flower petals, and Arthas continued to march forward with the welcome of the people. But at this time, Arthas's face was not happy, or excited, he just kept moving forward silently.
Eventually, Arthas arrived at the door of the palace, and by this time Terenus had already watched the prince stand up excitedly and begin to read the coronation.
"At the moment of your birth, the flowers of Lordaeron bloom for you, and the birds chirp for you. And you have a great name, Alsace. ”
"You have grown up bathed in the light, you are the kindest and most upright person in the world, and for the sake of righteousness in your heart, you have constantly slain evil things. ”
Terenus said this, and Arthas suddenly quickened his pace.
"Now you are triumphant, and I am old. ”
"Under the patronage of the kings of the past generations, today you will be crowned king. ”
"That's enough, father. I messed up everything and even lost myself. Leave, I have the last shred of my sanity left. Arthas suddenly roared loudly and fell to his knees.
In the face of the mutation of Alsace, everyone was confused, and everyone didn't figure out what happened to Arthas.
At this moment, Terenus still walked towards Arthas.
"Kid, I don't blame you even if your expedition fails, as long as you can come back alive. In any case, you are the new king of Lordaeron from this day, and your courage to go on expeditions has proven that you will be a good king in the future. Terenus said as he tried to pick Arthas up.
"Father, go away! I'm almost under his control. Arthas pleaded again in anguish.
"Yes, I'll help you no matter what happens. Even if I am not a king, I am your father. Terenus said, hugging Arthas.
"Well, use your life to wipe out his last sanity. Crown him as the Lich King with your life. Arthas said in a sudden change of tone.
Arthas immediately shuddered and pushed away Terenus, who had kept him, before he struggled to draw his sword from his waist. Everyone present left to discover that this sword was no longer the power of Minethir, which had been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of Lordaeron, but a large sword full of strange runes, with a skull sheep's head on the hilt, Frost's Sorrow.
"Arthas, what's wrong with you, where is your original sword?" asked Terenus immediately, anxiously.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I picked up this great sword to slay the demon, but it also controlled my soul. Alsace said with difficulty.
"Go, Arthas has completed your final coronation, and the entire army of the dead will be under your command. ”
The echo of Naozu echoed quickly in his mind. Although Arthas tried his best to resist the voice, he was now uncontrollably moving towards Terenus. Eventually, Arthas lost control of his body completely, and one of Arthas, who was left with only a shell, stabbed Tyrenus with his sword, but instead of running, Tyrenus fell into Arthas's arms after his body was pierced.
"Demon, you have taken my life, you can spare Arthas now. Terenus said weakly in Arthas's arms.
"It's you who will really torture him, and now you're going to kill his last negotiator. Arthas said in an indifferent voice.
"Kid, I'm sorry. I still couldn't stop you from going on an expedition. It's just my fault, you don't want to have any burden. Terenus closed his eyes forever.
Arthas's soul was now in a state of endless sorrow and pain, and he couldn't do anything when his body was his, not even a few tears. He really regretted now why he had gone to Northrend under all kinds of persuasion in the first place, and why he had drawn this magic sword in pursuit of strength. Negative emotions are rapidly accumulating, and in this mood a new personality is being born, and this personality is called Arthas, the Lich King.
"Alright, fragile fellow. Your mission has been accomplished, go to eternal rest. ”
The newborn personality threw Arthas directly into the endless darkness, and then truly became the master of this body.
"Hahaha, it feels so wonderful to kill my father with my own hands, it's so cool. Alsace laughed happily as he transformed.
The nobles present were so frightened by the bloody scene that they collapsed to the ground, while others began to worship Arthas frantically and chanted, "Lord Lich King, we have been waiting for your arrival. ”。
"Hands, the Scourge will be returning to Lordaeron today. Arthas said in a cold voice.
The nobles, who were believers, immediately drew their weapons and began to kill the other nobles, and the palace immediately became a bloody place.
Arthas directly inserted the Great Sword Frost Sorrow in his hand into the ground, and as the Great Sword entered the ground, a huge rune circle began to appear on the ground. Immediately after that, a huge portal appeared directly in the palace, and this portal was the portal that connected to Northrend, and countless undead creatures poured out like a tide. Lordaeron began to be slaughtered by the undead in celebration, and the bells that still ringed became the city's death knell. The inhabitants of the streets had never imagined that such a thing would happen, and most of them had already died at the hands of the undead before they could react. That is, after the second largest city, Stratholm, was completely destroyed, the largest city in Lordaeron, the royal city of Lordaeron, was also completely destroyed.
The news quickly spread across the continent of Lordaeron, and one person was very distressed, and he was Uther, the mentor of Arthas. He had always felt guilty for not dissuading Alsace from the expedition, but when he finally heard that Arthas had returned safely to be crowned, he finally showed a rare smile. What has now been discovered is an even more unexpected result.
Originally, Uther had already arrived from East Dalongmir to congratulate his disciple on his coronation, but when he saw the people fleeing from the desert outside the royal city, he felt a little more uneasy. Concerned about the inquiry, and learning that the undead had attacked after Arthas's return, Uther immediately guessed a rough idea. Just as he was about to enter the royal city of Lordaeron to investigate the situation, Arthas happened to go out of the city with an army of undead to hunt down the fleeing civilians.
"Arthas, is this the triumph you told me to be, is this the revenge you have been seeking?" asked Uther excitedly at the sight of Arthas.
"Oh, who am I, isn't this the Mentor?" Alsace said disdainfully.
"Oh my God, how did you fall into this. Uther said unacceptably.
"The cowardly prince you know is dead, and now in front of you is Arthas, the Lich King. It just so happens that I have something to ask you to send the ashes of Kel'thugad within three days, or I will slaughter every living person in the land of Lordaeron. "Alsace Road.
"Demon, Demon, I didn't stop you in the first place, the Holy Light is above, and today I am here to punish you, so that you will not make more mistakes. Uther said angrily and charged at Arthas with his hammer.
"If it weren't for the need for you to get something, I'd have killed you today, I've already killed Tyrenus anyway, and I won't kill you more. "Alsace Road.
Arthas then waved his hand for the Undead to intercept Uther.
"Demon, you killed your father with your own hands. Do you know how much he misses you? Uther said with grief and indignation, tears streaming down the side of his face.
"That old thing misses only the cowardly prince, and I'm the Lich King. Arthas said calmly.
"Terenus, if you can't kill this beast today, I'll accompany you!" Uther roared and began to blast every undead who approached with his standing hammer.
