Northrend – Icecrown – The Frozen Throne

The bitter cold wind, this huge mountain of icy glaciers and frozen rocks, is unusually cold.

The howling wind and snow froze everything, and there was only a white patch as far as the eye could see.

However, at the top of this mountain, on the throne made of ice, in a huge ice coffin, there was an invisible but incomparably fierce soul battle going on.

Through the ice, the young prince with the crown of domination could be seen sitting quietly, as calm as a king, but in his mind, the war was going on.

"Varian, you are the pride of Stormwind City, and even more so the pride of my Lane, one day you will be crowned king and become the guardian of Stormwind Kingdom!"

"Gul'dan, get out of my clan, you waste doesn't deserve to be a shaman at all."

"Varian, for the glory of the Alliance, fight, take courage, and never give up."

"Gul'dan, if you lose, leave your head behind, or crawl out like a dog."

"Long live the King of Wa, the King of Wa is awesome! The tile king is invincible! ”

"Varian, Arthas and I will help you, the country is in trouble brothers help, there is nothing to say, let's fight side by side!"

"Varian, come on, Big Brother is right behind you."

"Gul'dan, your will is weak, and you can't control the power of the elements at all."

"Guldan, you're dying, do you have any last words?"

"Gul'dan, I see a glimmer of potential in you, maybe you can join the Shadow Moon Clan, and I will teach you what true power is."

"Varian, my child, Stormwind has fallen, there is no hope, leave the city, your future awaits you."

"Gul'dan, if you want to gain power, come, accept my gifts, serve me, and the evil power will bring you everything."

"Varian, run, get out."

"Gul'dan, do you feel this power, now bring death and destruction to this world!"

"Gul'dan, I need you to do me a favor before you leave, I want to borrow something from you......

Haha, of course you have, but not in your hands, but in your neck. ”

"Gul'dan, welcome to the Twisted Void, endless torment awaits you."

"Guldan, do you feel the pain, do you feel the despair, it's good, that's exactly what I want."

"Gul'dan, are you crying, you should have expected such an end a long time ago, the end of making a deal with the devil."

"Gul'dan, I should have tormented you to the point that your soul dissipated, but I am merciful, and I am still willing to give you a chance to go to Azeroth and gather a large army for me, this armor is your new prison, go, don't let me down, or - you know what awaits you......"

Since the development of Winterfell and the Coalition's home in Northrend, the Coalition's adventurers have flocked to this barren and opportunistic continent like flies.

It's full of terrifying monsters and precious resources, and from Winterfell as a starting point, Northrend maps have left the footsteps of adventurers.

In particular, high-end teams of players tend to travel to extremely dangerous areas to dig for their first pot of gold.

There are also players who love travel archaeology to visit various famous classics in Northrend, and the most talked about by players is naturally the must-visit check-in point of the Frozen Throne, a plot party.

Ever since Gul'dan and Varian began the battle of souls, two souls and one body have been sealed in ice.

Even the undead legions around the Frozen Throne have stopped expanding.

Without the boss's order, several undead lords of the Scourgeon Legion could only temporarily become the business of the dungeon boss, and they had nothing to do with the adventure team.

Every once in a while, well-prepared and fully loaded adventurers come to play dungeons.

Because the Lich King has not yet awakened, the dungeon difficulty is only 100 players.

There are also many adventurer teams who have successfully cleared the level.

After clearing the customs, you can not only brush up on a lot of superb equipment, but also take photos with the Lich King, wear a luxurious equipment and pose a mighty look and post it on the Internet, which has become a new achievement for players in the Sky World.

Even the freezing wind of the Frozen Throne couldn't stop the players' enthusiasm.

"Here we are, this is the Frozen Throne, and behold, the Lich King is sitting on it." A Night Warrior said excitedly.

"Cool!" The other female knight was also very excited.

Two adventurers, a man and a woman, looked at everything around them and were amazed.

There was not a single monster on the Frozen Throne, only a slick ice coffin standing on the throne.

"Here, let's take a picture."

The two of them stood on either side of the Lich King, one on the left and one on the right, posing, with the Frozen Throne as the background, clicking.

A picture appeared in his hand.

"Haha, that's so cool, hey, why is that Lich King's eyes lit up and there is still a green fire?"

"Impossible, this eye is obviously closed, I just looked at it deliberately, hey, I really opened it."

The sound of cracking ice came from behind him.

The two adventurers slowly turned around in shock, and saw that the huge crack directly penetrated the ice coffin, and the ice coffin of the Lich King slowly cracked a gap.

The two of them were immediately frightened and hurriedly retreated.

Only a few steps back—

Rumble! The ice coffin shattered, and the Lich King—awakened.

——————

By the time the undead lords arrived, the ice around the Lich King had completely disappeared, and the two adventurers were unlucky enough to be the first victims of the Lich King's awakening.

Several bosses of the Scourge's legion gathered around the throne, all of them excited-our boss has finally woken up, and now he can finally do things, and he doesn't have to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Barbarian Conan (Lord of Death): "Ah, Boss Varian, I miss you, we finally hope you back." ”

Winter is coming (Death Knight): "Yes, King Wa, no, it should be Lord Varian, the Lich King, now we can finally launch the Undead Scourge and sweep through this world, let it all the alliance tribes be overturned, hahahaha!" ”

Kel'thugad (Necromancer Archmage): "Prince Varian, how are you feeling right now?" ”

Anubarak (Crypt Lord): "Master, we await your orders. ”

However, after a long time of talking, the Lich King on the throne did not move.

At this moment, everyone finally felt that something was wrong, especially the few people who knew more about the plot, and looked at the green fire that came out of the Lich King's eyes and beat the drum.

Then the Lich King on the throne finally spoke.

Gul'dan (Lich King): "Hehehehehe, what do you think will be the arrogant young prince of Varian who will emerge victorious?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was silent, only the cold wind was still blowing.

Everyone was dumbfounded, all along, they felt that the winner of this soul battle must be Varian, after all, Varian has the aura of the protagonist.

But if you think about it, whether it is the study of soul magic, or the understanding of the crown of domination, or the mastery of power, Gul'dan is far above Varian, and the two can even be said to be completely different from the same order of magnitude.

Varian is a warrior who plays soul battles with warlocks who are good at soul magic, how can he win the battle.

It's just that Varian's long-standing experience as a dragon, as well as the player's belief in the victory of the protagonist of the traditional fantasy novel, and the example of the original Lich King Arthas defeating Neozu in the War of Souls, made players naturally have this idea.

It's just that the final result is much more than everyone expected, it turned out to be Gul'dan who won the final soul battle.

Took possession of Varian's body and became the Lich King.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They hadn't considered this possibility at all, so how should we react now? Congratulations to the boss, or pull out the knife and go up and cut people?

Barbarian King Conan (Lord of Death): "Wo Cao, dog, I didn't expect you to win?" I'll just say it doesn't feel right. ”

Hearing the word dog, Guldan raised his hand suddenly, and an irresistible force of death threw the barbarian king Conan directly into the air, and then slammed it to the ground, boom!

The force was so great that even the icy ground and the armor on his body cracked in an instant.

Gul'dan (Lich King): "Don't let me hear that name again, or else—"

As soon as the Lich King stretched out his hand, the power of death in the Barbarian King Conan's body immediately turned into something like black silk threads, and was frantically pulled out of his body, watching the undead giant man with burly muscles turn into a skeleton with a withered face.

Conan, the barbarian king, screamed in pain.

"Ahhhh

"Hmph." Guldan snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the power of death returned to the barbarian king Conan's body, but his muscles were still gone.

When he got up from the ground with his armor, Conan, the barbarian king, hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Others may be able to compare with the Lich King twice, and his boss class as the Death Lord is transferred by the Lich King, and he is completely subject to the other party, and must be subdued.

Seeing that the barbarian king Conan was soft, Gul'dan looked at several other bosses.

Gul'dan (Lich King): "Winter is coming, what do you say?" ”

Winter is approaching (Death Knight): "Of course I listened to the boss, I had long seen that Varian was not pleasing to the eye, but there was no way before, it was just a void and a snake, boss, you are wise and powerful, how can Varian's kid have half of the boss's demeanor." ”

Gul'dan was quite satisfied with what he said.

Needless to say, Anubarak must continue to be loyal, this big bug is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

However, it was Kel'thugad, the necromancer archmage, that made Gul'dan pay more attention.

Gul'dan (Lich King): "Kel'thugad, I know a lot about you from Varian's memories, you are in search of knowledge and magic, the mystery of death, I can give you this knowledge and power, follow me, and you will have unprecedented death magic, which transcends flesh and blood, and can make you truly immortal."

So what do you say? Will you take refuge in me, or will you be faithful to your prince? ”

Kel'thugad (Necromancer Archmage): "I am loyal only to the Lich King, to the wielder of the Death Artifact, and it doesn't matter who the Lich King is. Kel'thugad is at your service, my master. ”

Elsa looked anxious from the sidelines, damn it, the barbarian king Conan and Rin Winter are about to take refuge in those two when they see the wind, and you have betrayed with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you are ashamed to have cooperated with you for so long.

She didn't dare to say anything, and took advantage of Gul'dan to subdue the others, and raised her staff by herself and began to cast a teleportation magic.

The fluctuations in mana caught the attention of Kel'thugad.

"Stop her!"

But it's too late.

With a bang, Elsa had teleported away.

Gul'dan (Lich King): "Don't worry about her, a mere mage can't make any waves, we have more important things to do."

Gather my army, it's time for the world to tremble. ”

Kel'thugad said, "Where are we going, master?" ”

Gul'dan (Lich King): "Dragonbone Wilds!" ”
