25 Darkness lurks
Shortly after Arthas killed Kel'thugad, Gianna also came to Kel'thugad's body, looking at the wound on Kelthugad's chest, and then at the blood on Arthas's greatsword standing nearby, Gianna immediately understood that Kelthugad had died at Arthas's hands. It's just that she couldn't believe that Kel'thugad, who could knock her down with just an ice spear, would die so easily, and even Arthas didn't suffer any injuries.
Seeing Gianna coming over, Alsace said excitedly: "Last time he humiliated your revenge, I will help you avenge it." ”。
Hearing Arthas say this, Gianna felt very uncomfortable, didn't it show that she didn't have the ability to take revenge herself. With the addition of Kel'thugad being so easy, Gianna's heart became even more angry, and in order to avenge herself, she changed her values and decided to pursue power. Now Gianna doesn't even know what it means for her to be humiliated and fall to the ground before.
"Whoever asked you to avenge me, I can avenge this revenge myself!" Gianna, who was in a very bad mood, shook Arthas and turned away.
Arthas looked confused at this time, he had expected Gianna to thank him for knowing the news, but the reality was very different from his expectations. However, Arthas didn't have time to dwell on this, there were still screams and screams in Daronshire, and he had to take someone inside to see what was going on.
Kel'thugad meant that the army of the undead had fled in all directions, and there was nothing left to stand in the way of Arthas, so he soon rushed to the gates of Daronshire. The gate was opened when he was still some distance away, and a man rushed at him when the gate was opened, and this man looked like the defender of Dalongshire.
"Your Royal Highness, the inhabitants of the city are mad, and they bite when they see people. Now that the city is in chaos, many normal residents have been bitten to death by the insane residents, and now Commander Uther is leading the soldiers against them. The defenders ran to Arthas, panting.
When Arthas heard this, he hurriedly thanked the city with reinforcements, and he was now very grateful to Kel'thugad for coming to his death, otherwise the civil strife in the city would increase the siege of the city, and the fall of Daron County would be inevitable.
Once inside, the city was in shambles, littered with dead bodies, some of the frenzied residents continued to attack the other residents, and the defenders were forced to fight them.
"Your Royal Highness, what about these mad residents?" his adjutant asked.
"Rescue normal residents and soldiers, and kill residents who go berserk directly, and I will be responsible for any problems. "Alsace Road.
The army quickly dispersed and began to kill the deranged inhabitants of the city. Soon after, Uther came to Arthas's side in a rage and began to question him.
"Arthas, who authorized you to kill these inhabitants?"
"Mentor, you're nothing, are you? I've always feared for your safety. After seeing Uther, Arthas did not return, but said with concern.
"You don't have to worry about my safety! you've killed all the people of Lordaeron. Uther said even more excitedly.
"But they are still attacking other people, and I can only order the protection of normal people. "Alsace Road.
"Confused. Have you tried to purify them? They were controlled by the enemy with a spell, and they were innocent. Uther said.
Arthas didn't dare to reply, but shook his head.
"Hurry up and give the order, let the soldiers capture the mad inhabitants alive. I'm going to arrange for the priest and the paladin to take care of the purification. "After-sales Uther left quickly.
At this time, Arthas was not in a good mood, he obviously did nothing wrong, and was pouted by the goddess and the mentor, the two people he cared about the most. However, Arthas was still a prince after all, so naturally he would not be angry because of this, and he immediately changed the order according to Uther's request to let the soldiers capture the mad inhabitants alive.
However, by this time, most of the inhabitants of the city had been killed by the soldiers, and less than 100 of them had been captured alive. Kel'thugad's Frost Blight has claimed most of their lives since activation, and they will die completely if they are treated later.
The battle of Daron County ended in absolute greatness. King Terenus also paid special tribute to the Prince of Arthas, but there is no mention of the slaughter of the people of Daron County by Arthas's order. Although Uther was dissatisfied at the time, he himself felt afterwards that it was not entirely Arthas's fault, after all, Arthas did not know that the mad people could be purified after entering the city. So Uther didn't take the initiative to mention it, and all the dead people were treated as war deaths.
The remains of Kel'thugad were also transported to Lordaeron, where King Terenus had intended to make the body as an ornament and hang it at the gates of Lordaeron, but due to his relationship with Daranran and Uther's dissuasion, Terenus did not do so. After Kel'thugad's death, the corpse was also emitting death energy, so Uther told Terenus to burn the corpse as soon as possible. Even after being turned into ashes, the energy of death was still being released, and Uther had no choice but to bring the ashes to the Chapel of Light for purification.
The army of the undead is fleeing in all directions, and the army of Lordaeron is sweeping up. The cauldron in Sidaron Mill has been completely destroyed, but the dark clouds scattered over the Plaguelands show no signs of dissipating, except that the range is no longer expanding. Tyrenus did not want to waste the land of Sidaronmir, so he arranged for troops to carry out military cantonments, and called on farmers throughout the country to return to farming. However, the thick black clouds in the sky completely blocked the sunlight, so nothing could be planted here after several experiments. The Kingdom of Lordaeron can only give up the use of this land before the black clouds dissipate.
The situation in Lordaeron began to calm down. But some people rejoice, some people worry, and this person is Illusia. Previously, she and Kel'thugad had acted separately, with Kel'thugad leading the undead army, while she was responsible for delivering the problematic food to the various cities. Naturally, she also received the news. At this time, she was completely confused, she had done so many bad things, and it was impossible to turn back, but she didn't know what else she could do if she wanted to continue to act.
In desperation, she could only sneak back to the old mansion on Dalong Island. The manor was empty, and she was the only one left in the garden. She also wanted to go to her father, but she didn't want to involve her family anymore and broke off this idea, and Alex announced that she was dead, which was just right for her current status.
Originally, she took refuge in the Lich King because she wanted to protect Amy, and a series of events that happened after that made her regret a little, but now what annoyed her the most was the death of Kel'thugad. As soon as Kel'thugad died, she lost all contact with the Lich King, and all she did to make her own bad came to naught.
As Illusia pervaded, a shadow crept into her home, and soon the shadow appeared in front of him in the form of a demon, which was none other than the Dreadlord Marganis.
"Little girl, have you done what Kel'thugad arranged for you to do?" asked Marganis as soon as he appeared.
"Everyone else is dead, what's the point of asking about that now?" said Illusia, unconcerned.
"What you did was meant for me. Marganis said.
"For you, but isn't that the frost plague of Kel'thugad?" asked Illusia, also with some curiosity.
"The Frost Plague was originally taught to Naozu, so the true user is us. Marganis said.
"Little girl, do you control the army of the undead?" asked Marganis again.
"I can't, I can only make sure that the undead don't hurt me. However, there are also a few acolytes of the Cursed Sect who can exercise control on a small scale. Illusia said.
"Take those acolytes with us, and we're ready to resurrect Naozu. Marganis said.
Hearing Marganis say this, Illusia looked at him with a surprised expression, Illusia had planned to spend time alone in the old mansion, and Marganis's appearance undoubtedly gave her another choice. Illusia immediately followed Malganis out of Daron.
After gathering a small tributary of the undead scattered in East Daron Mill with the acolytes, Illusia came to the woods outside the city of Korin junction in the town of East Dallong Mill, where Marganis was waiting for them.
"There's only so many undead we can control, what do you want to do?" asked Illusia.
"Let them attack the people near the town first, and we need to lure the protagonist over first. Marganis said.
"Protagonist?" asked Illusia, confused.
"Kel'thugad doesn't seem to have told you, we've already chosen a person for Naozu to turn around. The target is Alsace, Prince of Lordaeron. Marganis said.
"Prince Arthas, he is a man of integrity and sunshine, how can he possibly cooperate with you. Illusia said.
"The lighter it is, the darker it is, so what I'm going to do is bring out the dark side that exists in his soul. Marganis said.
"Then I'll see how you can degrade this righteous prince. Illusia said.
