Chapter 71: The Betrayal of the Covenant
"Arthas, we've finally found you!"
"Gianna, it's great that you're here!"
Muradin and Kael'thas can be regarded as the leaders of the people who crossed the continent of Kalimdor in the west.
It's just that this "leader" is different from Xu Mochao, the leader of the expeditionary force, Xu Mochao is the leader in the real sense, and he has the power of life and death for the troops under his command.
As for Muradin and Kael'thas, not to mention the orcs who came with them in the Burning Plains, even the coalition forces of other countries in the alliance couldn't do it like Xu Mochao.
Relatively speaking, Kael'thas is better, he was originally the prince of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and when this kingdom was breached by the Burning Legion and the Council of Silvermoon City was destroyed, he can be said to be the rightful leader of the remaining High Elves.
Muradin, on the other hand, is more miserable, but the humans are fine, everyone knows that he is an old friend and mentor of Arthas, and will give him some face.
The rest, not to mention the orcs, are the dwarves, and they don't care much about him except for the native dwarves of Kazmodan.
After all, after the Three Hammers War that year, the dwarves were not so harmonious internally.
However, he always kept in mind the instructions of his eldest brother, Magni Copperbeard, and even if he was emaciated, he eventually brought this large army to Kalimdor with Kael'thas.
To their surprise, they had just arrived in Kalimdor on their front foot, and they didn't even have a firm heel on their heels, and the Burning Legion and their spearhead, the Undead Scourge, were killed on their feet.
They have not yet recovered from their exhaustion, and they are naturally inferior to the imposing Burning Legion and the tireless army of the undead, and the result is naturally that they will collapse at the touch of a button.
What happened next was naturally the scene that Xu Mochao had seen before.
"Muradin, why are you here? What happened to Lordaeron? Also, what the hell is crowned king? β
When he saw these two people, Xu Mochao had already faintly thought of something.
"Arthas, my child!"
At this moment, Old Muradine burst into tears, looked at Xu Mochao, and said sadly, "The Eastern Kingdom has fallen!" β
Everyone present gasped.
That is, Xu Mochao was quite calm, and asked, "Antonidas didn't keep the Book of Medivan?" β
"Derlandon! He, like Kel'thugad, is a traitor to Dalaran and the entire Union! Antonidas gave him the Book of Medivan for safekeeping, but he gave it to Kel'thugad and asked him to summon demons! β
"Derlandon? How could it be him? β
Hearing Muladin's words, Gianna couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth.
"What, you know?"
Xu Mochao had never heard of this name, and when he saw Gianna's reaction so much, he turned his head to look at her.
Gianna nodded, "He is one of the members of the Council of Six of Kenrito, and after Kel'thugad's defection, he also expressed great sadness about this matter, but he didn't expect it to ......"
She shook her head as she spoke, clearly regretting the depravity of the members of the Kenrito Council.
"It's not just him who betrayed!"
At this moment, Kael'thas, the prince of Quel'Salas, was furious and uttered the name of another person, "Ji Covenant! That Bichi betrayed us and became a lackey of the devil! β
"Ji Covenant?"
"Ji Shengyue!"
When Kael'thas said the name, Sylvanas and Winresa exclaimed in unison.
How could it be her?
When they left Quel'Salas before, they both regarded her as someone they could trust, so why ......
No one noticed that Xu Mochao and Ouyang Chong were actually more surprised than the two of them.
The two exchanged a look very covertly.
Among the few people here, only they knew the true identity of Ji Shengyueβa college classmate named Mu Qingchi, who was also an experienced practitioner like them.
That's why it's a surprise.
Why do you have to increase the difficulty on your own?
Didn't she understand what her behavior meant to Xu Mochao and Ouyang Chong in the same camp?
As Fang Zhong had said before, he took the Book of Medivan and handed it to Kel'thugad for Xu Mochao and Ouyang Chong but a different camp - although in the eyes of others, this was a betrayal of Dalaran and a betrayal of the alliance.
But this is not surprising to the practitioner, although the spirit descends to have a position, but it does not necessarily have to adhere to this position.
Just like Xu Mochao, if someone else comes over and becomes a death knight, he can take another route.
This kind of thing is perfectly normal.
Only by doing this like Mu Qingchi is a real betrayal!
At the beginning, she herself proposed to hug Xu Mochao's thigh, but now she tore up the covenant with her own hands.
This is not a betrayal, what is it?
So when the news was confirmed, the two had already announced Mu Qingchi's death sentence in their hearts.
Kael'thas said slowly, "From the day Quel'Thalas was breached, I swore revenge on the Burning Legion, Sylvanas, Winlessa, and now we are no longer called High Elves. β
"What do you mean......"
"From that day on, we are blood elves!"
After saying this, he turned to Xu Mochao and bent down deeply, "Dear Your Majesty, on behalf of all the blood elves, I renew the ancient covenant and join the alliance!" β
Despite a dispute with Arthas over Gianna, Kael'thas Sunchaser bowed his noble head to his former rival in the face of the survival of the entire race.
It is said that it is a rival in love, but in fact, it is just wishful thinking on the part of Kael'thas.
Because Gianna never liked him from beginning to end.
"Blood...... Blood elves? β
"Did Silvermoon City finally fall?"
When Kael'thas heard the news, all the High Elves, including Sylvanas and Winresa, were stunned.
"It's not just Silvermoon City......"
Kael'thas said bitterly, "All of Quel'Thalas has been destroyed!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"How so? How so? β
When everyone was shocked by this news after another, Xu Mochao looked at Muradin, and asked, "Muradin, what do you mean by being crowned king just now?" What happened to my father? β
After coming into this world, Xu Mo could supernaturally feel the deep love that his father, Terenus, had for him.
Although he also thought about accomplishing the great cause of the times in this world as a king, he didn't want to do it that way.
Passive succession.
Fortunately, Muradin did not bring the news that Terenus had GG, "Child, the old king took the initiative to pass the throne to you, and he himself stayed with Uther to continue to defend against the demons, and also to buy time for us to leave.
And ......"
Muradin gave Gianna a deep look, "He and General Prodmore jointly announced that Gianna is your queen!" β
