Chapter 417: The Voluntary Death of Kel'thugad (Part II)
After Arthas led his army away, Richard walked out of the place where Kel'thugad died, and Richard had been watching the whole process here. And in Alsace, they kept an eye on Kel'thugad, not the slightest notice of Richard in the shadows.
Richard walked over to Kel'thugad's corpse, covering his nose and manipulating magic to restrain him. At this point, the part of the Richard and Kel'thugad deal that Richard needs to do is complete. Richard put Kel'thugad's bones into Fina's hands, and Fina put them away with some disgust. The box contained only his bones and no soul, and Kel'thugad's soul had lurked into Arthas's body with Richard's help.
Kel'thugad himself actually has a way to lurk in Arthas's body, but the risk is very high, the current Kel'thugad himself is a dark creature, and Arthas is a paladin who can use the Holy Light anytime and anywhere, and the Holy Light is really a necessary energy to restrain the dark creatures. That's why he found Richard with a similar purpose, and Richard used two kinds of energy for him, the shadow energy helped him lurk in Arthas's body, and the power of the Holy Light helped Kel'thugad immune to the threat of Alsace's holy light, because Richard's holy light has been assimilated in his body for many years, and his ability to restrain dark creatures has been reduced a lot, and it will not cause harm to Kelthugad, but its essence is still holy light, and it can still be immune to Alsace's holy light.
The two of them simulated it a few times, and after confirming that it worked, Kel'thugad was able to let Arthas kill them so easily. In fact, Kel'thugad also had his own calculations. In Northrend he got real eternal life, but now his body is not immortal, he is not human, he is not a ghost, so he chooses to die, and then he is reborn and becomes a real lich, as for the resurrection, as long as his life box is not destroyed, he will not die, and his life box, only he knows where it is.
Richard yawned and summoned Onexia, who had done everything he needed to do, and that he would be a spectator for the rest, and that he would be a corrective at the critical moment.
The night was long, especially for Arthas, who had reached the outskirts of the Hearthburg after a night's rapid march, but before they could go in, they heard the sound of various muskets, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke. Arthas was shocked, could it be that this place was also ......
"Hurry! Something seems to be going on inside!"
Arthas clamped his legs, and the spurs pierced into the horse's skin, and the horse neighed and galloped forward. In a moment, he rushed into the Fort of the Hearth, only to find out that it was a false alarm, and it turned out that the troops of the outpost of the Fort of the Hearthplace were training,
"Stop shooting! I'm the Prince of Arthas! What's going on here? Why are you all armed?"
They laid down their muskets and were astonished to see their prince standing in front of them. "Your Highness, you won't believe what is going to happen. ”
"Tell me about it. "Alsace Road.
It turned out that the people here already knew about the army of the undead, and the dead were resurrected and rioted everywhere, but at first these words did not surprise Arthas. But the phrase "a great army" surprised him a little. He glanced at Gianna, who looked completely exhausted. The short break did not allow the mage to recover.
"Your Highness," one of the scouts shouted, "the army is coming this way!"
"Damn!" Arthas looked at the soldiers around him, they were not many (compared to the other side), and they alone could not hold this place with their rangers!
"Gianna, my soldiers and I are going to stay here to besiege this town, go find Lord Uther and tell me what's going on here!
"But here you are!"
"Nothing, but! You go, it's too late!"
Gianna nodded, using what little magic she had left to create a portal to the Fireplace Castle, Arthas turned around, and his captain Faric was looking at him: "Your Highness, you'd better take a look at this ......"
"What?" Arthas followed his gaze, his heart sinking sharply. Empty box ...... It is stamped with the seal of Andorhar. Holding on to the psychology of luck, Arthas asked in a slightly trembling voice, "What have these boxes contained?"
A man from the Hearthvale outpost looked at him puzzled: "It's just food from Andorhar." Don't worry, Your Royal Highness. The grain has been distributed to the villagers, and we have baked a lot of dry food. ”
Arthas understood at once that this was what it tasted like—not like the usual toast flavor, not as fresh, and a little sweet. The real situation was so terrifying, and realizing this made his body shake a little. Food has been distributed...... A huge army of the undead suddenly appeared......
"Oh no. He whispered. People were watching him, and Arthas tried to say something more, his voice still shaking, but this time not out of fear, but out of anger.
The plague doesn't just kill his people. No, no, it's darker and more twisted than that. It's about turning them into ......
Before Arthas could come up with the words that followed, the man who answered Arthas's question suddenly bent down. Several others did the same, their bodies glowing with a strange green light, flickering and increasing in intensity. They clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground, their shirts soaked with blood spurting from their mouths. One of them held out his hand to Arthas begging for healing, and the prince cowered in fear as he struggled to die in just a few seconds.
Looking at his corpse, Arthas stared at himself with wide eyes and disbelief, the man had just begged him to heal him, but as a paladin, he didn't even raise his hand, although it may not be curable, but he had to try!
"O merciful light!" cried out Faric, "Food!"
His shouts startled Arthas and woke him up from his trance of guilt. Food is a necessity for life, whether it is made into bread or steamed buns, it can fill the stomach, but now it is more like poison. Arthas tried to open his mouth to shout a warning to his men, but found that his tongue was as heavy as clay.
Before he could organize his words, the plague had already struck, the dead suddenly came back to life, and Arthas took two steps back, this is the army of Kel'thugad?
"Ahahahaha......ha Could it be that he's back again?
