Chapter 580: Hatred
After all the troops were assembled, the Northern Expeditionary Army, led by Tirio Fordin, launched a general assault on the Icecrown Fortress - although the Northern Expedition went smoothly, the war that had swallowed many lives and they desperately needed to end it.

The magic turret of the Dawn, which floated above the Northern Expeditionary Army, began to condense mana, and waves of devastating magic rays bombarded the huge walls of the Icecrown Fortress, and in the blink of an eye, they were bombarded with dense cracks. Then, the huge battering ram at the gate of the Icecrown Fortress swung and slammed into the gate three times, completely destroying the gate made of hard Saron iron.
The paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Knights of the Demon Hunter rushed into the Icecrown fortress with high morale, followed by the tripartite representatives of Tirio Fordin, Varian, and Lord Sarufar, followed by Edward, Sylvanas, Kael'thas, Gianna, Darian, Garrosh, and Muradine Copperbeard, who did not appear at the Battle Meeting.
"Attention, warriors, defend your position according to your own side. "As soon as you enter the Icecrown Fortress, a large number of shadow creatures such as ghouls, abominations, spider demons, and the undead of the Veku people swarm in all directions, and Tirio Fordin, who holds the Ash Bringer, unleashes a powerful holy light, which wiped out a large number of Scourge legions in one fell swoop, but there is still a steady stream of undead creatures coming from all directions.
The heroes who entered here took up arms one after another and began to attack these death-defying Scourge legions.
"Arthas, your end is near!" said Tirio as he slashed with the Ember Bringer carrying the Light, "and now all the heroes you have brought them grief and pain are gathered here to destroy this cancer, and your evil soul will be wiped out by our mighty howls!"
"You tell me about souls?" Arthas's hollow, hoarse voice came from the halls of the fortress that filled the Scourge Legion, "and in the frost sorrow I hold in my hands, there are countless souls that I control. There are my honorable fathers, my upright teachers, and so many souls who have died for such a ridiculous thing as 'justice.' ”
"Fordin, do you want to destroy me with this?"
"Watch yourself die, the end is already sealed, Arthas. Kael'thas stared at the owner of the voice in the air with a grim gaze, "You have taken everything I have cherished, and now it is your turn to pay for your crimes." ”
"Ah...... , Kael'thas Sunstrider. Arthas's voice came again, "Yes, you're right. I destroyed Silvermoon City, polluted the Sunwell, and killed countless High Elves, including your father and your loyal men. You, the lost dog who once took refuge in the Burning Legion and Illidan, is a complete failure. ”
Arthas's voice paused noticeably, and as Kael'thas was furious and about to roar, the Lich King's voice rang out again, "I also robbed your woman, she kissed it so sweetly." ”
Arthas's words made Gianna, who was standing beside Kael'thas, tremble, and Kael'thas also showed a surprised expression.
Gianna had no idea that Arthas would use her affair with him as a means to provoke his enemies - and in front of so many people!
Tears flowed from Queen Theramore's eyes and slid down her still-delicate skin onto the dirty floor, her body shaking as if it had lost its strength.
"She'......"
"She's disgusted with you now!" a pair of strong hands held Gianna as Kael'thas interrupted the Lich King's words and roared, "You make her sick, Arthas!
"It's time for it to end, Lich King. Sylvanas glanced at the weeping Gianna with pity, and if she hadn't met Cullen, her Sylvanas would probably have ended even more tragically than the Queen of Theramore, "You've fooled us like fools countless times. And now, although we are doing well, the blood feud is still there, and we will firmly remember the terrible price we paid for our weakness and pride, and let us deepen this impression with your demise!"
"Hehehe, you rabble, your defeated men, what are you going to do to destroy me?" Arthas laughed insolently, "Yes, you have thwarted my countless plans and destroyed many of my Scourge strongholds in Icecrown. But so what? the Scourge cannot be wiped out completely, and as long as there is war and hatred among you people, we will be endless again. ”
"Ah, I forgot to mention that I also got a strong subordinate here. Fordin, your son possesses an incredible power, a power between the Light and the Shadows, that will make my Scourge even stronger!"
"What have you done to him, Arthas!" shouted Fordin, furious.
"Worthy of the son of your Tirio Fortin, his soul is still weakening. Arthas laughed maniacally, "Would you like to hear his wails in my torment?"
"You ......"
Tirio was about to curse when Edward approached him, patted him on the shoulder to calm him down, and then looked at the phantom in the air with his calm gaze.
"Remember me? Prince Arthas. ”
"Edward Lee!" Arthas's wild laughter came to an abrupt halt at the sight of the paladin herald, with a hint of surprise in his voice, "You're finally showing up." ”
"Yes, I'm back again. Edward laughed, "It's a pity that I came back too late to stop your fall in time, and I'm so sorry for that." ”
"I'm not depraved. Arthas said, "I used to want to be your disciple like Varian. But it wasn't until I came into contact with the power of Frost Sorrow that I realized how ridiculous and stupid the Light was!"
"Understood. Edward didn't say much nonsense, he raised the Dragon King Star Shine in his hand, and condensed a brilliant Demon Hunter Emblem above his head, and the intense holy light that radiated to the surroundings alone made the swarming Scourge Legions howl in pain and dare not approach.
"All the warriors who have been recognized by the Light, you see clearly. Edward looked at the Lich King's illusory gaze with pity, "Remember the lesson of Arthas, his excessive thirst for power has created a situation in which he is in turn controlled by power. Over time, this desire destroyed his outlook on life, and the temptation of evil forces led to the current result of Arthas. ”
"Take this as a warning, and take to heart the lesson that has swept all of Azeroth. You must know that strength is only a means, and only the right faith can make you go on the right path on your own path!"
"Edward Lee!" Alsace couldn't help but roar. In front of the idols he worshipped as a child, even as a Lich King, it was hard for Arthas not to be angered by Edward's use of him as a negative teaching material.
However, Edward had no interest in continuing to scold him, and walked to the gate in front of the fortress as if he were strolling leisurely, and said, "All those who have a grudge against Arthas, you can go with me to him to settle the score." ”
