Chapter 561: There Must Be a Lich King
Boom, the shattered Wraith Armor was scattered on the ground, without the slightest energy reaction.
The Lich King was defeated once and for all.
It worked!
Mo Fei looked at the crown of domination in his hand, looked at the 'corpse' of Gul'dan on the ground, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Without hesitation, he picked up the corpse of the boss.
Since Gul'dan was killed jointly, there were not only the three of them who participated in the battle, but also a large number of heroes and adventurers who had taken some damage from a distance, so Murphy could only pick up the part of the loot assigned to him by the system.
When you touch it, only three pieces are dropped.
Wraith Gauntlets (Epic/Glove)
Wraith Shoulder Armor (Epic/Shoulder Armor)γ
γCracked Helm of Domination (Secondary Artifact/Helmet)γ
The first two are two pieces in the Wraith suit, and the full set has a total of eight pieces, and the others are estimated to have been touched by others.
However, the best fall still fell into the hands of Mo Fei, the man who delivered the fatal blow.
It's just that a crack in the crown of domination is unusually clear, and it is clear that at the moment when Gul'dan was killed, due to the death power released by Gul'dan's death, and the stripping of the death authority, this artifact also suffered a heavy blow.
However, an artifact is an artifact after all, and as long as it is not completely destroyed, it still retains great power.

Item description: No one knows the exact origin of this helmet.
Some say that it was secretly forged by the Demon King and is a secret weapon used to destroy the world.
Some say it comes from the underworld and is a relic of the Grim Reaper.
It is also said that it is an immortal relic, created by an ancient evil god.
Whatever the truth, however, there is undoubtedly great strength and wisdom hidden in this helmet, but the crown must bear its weight, and the soul of those who wear it is destined to suffer eternal horror. γ
Good stuff...... It's a pity that it's not very useful to me.
And judging from the introduction of the equipment, it seems that there is also a huge curse effect.
This thing is completely prepared for the Scourge Legion, and it is too deeply involved with the Shadow Realm, and if you wear it, I am afraid that you will inevitably fall into it.
"Big brother, is it all over? Did we win? Varian's voice suddenly rang out, and Murphy looked up, and Varian asked him in disbelief.
"Of course we won, hahaha, the three of us are really quacking and killing, and the Lich King has killed the three of us, and we can't win!"
Ge Dewen said excitedly, and finally killed Guldan, which can be regarded as his share of credit, just touched the corpse and touched a legendary item, but unfortunately the helm of domination was not touched, it's a pity.
But now he should be able to become a legend, right?
Although it is a pity that I didn't get the biggest credit.
However, Godwin has other calculations in his heart, Varian has made such a big basket as the Scourge Legion, it is inevitable that it will be impossible to compete with him for the right to speak within the alliance, and Aidan ...... This thing goes everywhere every day to pursue power, and it is estimated that he is not a political figure, but also his ally.
In the end, the alliance will still fall into their own hands.
Fort Riptide is about to be finished by a natural disaster, and when I turn around, I will definitely have to ask myself for help, and when the time comes, Fort Riptide will also be annexed, and the Lordaeron Empire will be considered to be beginning to take shape.
Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
However, the dream only lasted for a moment, and a scream called him back to reality.
Yes! There was a terrible scream, but it was shouted by an adventurer not far away, who was celebrating when he saw the Lich King being killed, but was suddenly gnawed by two ghouls, and it seemed that he was not alive.
Ge Dewen was stunned for a moment, what is the situation? The Lich Kings are dead, shouldn't the Scourge be completely unable to resist?
Generally speaking, as soon as the Great Demon King dies, shouldn't the little soldiers immediately run away and lose the will to fight?
That's how it is played in the movies?
Godwin looked around, only to find that with Gul'dan's death, the undead of the Scourge Legion had not stopped fighting, but had become even more insane.
Furiously attacking the surrounding Alliance soldiers and adventurers.
It's even more violent.
The Adventurer Legion was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and a large number of players who had hung the weak DEBUFF made up the number, and were swept by a wave, with heavy casualties in an instant.
It will be up to the Alliance's forces to resist.
Fortunately, with the death of the Lich King, the Scourge Legion has also lost its use of tactics, and it is completely brainless to rush and kill, and for the tightly formed Alliance army, the threat is not so great.
Murphy was also a little surprised, "Varian, what the hell is going on?" Who is controlling them? β
Varian looked solemn, "No one controls them, they act entirely on instinct, hatred for the living, fear of the present world, they will attack everyone who is alive, there must be a Lich King - Big Brother, Helm of Domination, give it to me!" Now I am the only one who can appease the wrath of the Scourge Legion. β
Varian said, staring at the Helm of Domination in Murphy's hand, expectant, fearful, and nervous.
This is a legendary artifact of death, and now that it has fallen into the hands of the eldest brother, will the eldest brother give up easily?
He was very skeptical.
Mo Fei did hesitate for a moment, after all, it was an artifact, but after thinking about it, he was not going to wear this thing, this kind of cursed artifact often comes with huge negative effects, and once he wears it, he will bear the burden of the fate of the Lich King.
Since he doesn't want to wear it, he can only wear it for others, anyway, Varian is his second brother, who doesn't wear it.
And Murphy had a feeling that the Lich King's authority over death would never be limited to him, and Varian, as part of the Lich King, should have also received some authority over death.
Judging from the rank of the Lich King, the power of death in his hands is at least medium, and he is only a weak authority in his hands, then Varian must also have a weak or weak authority in the realm of death.
But it was fitting for him to wear this helmet of domination.
"Hehe, you either? Then here you go. Murphy threw it away, and the Helm of Domination fell into Varian's hands.
Ge Dewen next to him looked crazy, your sister's artifact is like this, you just gave it to people? Don't give it to me.
Varian was also stunned, the eldest brother actually gave him the helm of domination.
He looked at the casual expression on Mo Fei's face, and he couldn't help but be deeply impressed in his heart.
Is this the strength and open-mindedness of the eldest brother...... Big brother, I will never let you down.
Varian took a deep breath and placed the cracked Helm of Dominion on his head, allowing him to gain the full power of the artifact without Gul'dan's soul.
At this moment, the title on his head changed again.
Varian (Lich King).
First, I closed my eyes and felt it for a moment, and when I opened them suddenly, my eyes bloomed with a faint blue cold and deathly light.
"How? Can it be controlled? β
After Varian put on the Helmet of Domination, even his voice had an echo-like special effect, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, this artifact is seriously broken, and the control of the Scourge Legion has been greatly reduced, so I can only do my best." β
Varian said, unleashing all of his senses.
Varian (Lich King): "I am the Lich King, obey my orders, all the warriors of the Scourge Legion, stop fighting and draw closer to me." β
The undead in the vicinity of the three of them immediately stopped fighting and quickly gathered together under Varian's control.
However, the other undead in some distant places did not have such a good effect, and even the undead under the rule of some other powerful Death Lords were completely unaffected by the Crown of Domination.
However, these Death Lords have received orders from Varian in their minds, but at this moment, these Death Lords are surprised to find that they don't seem to need to do exactly what they are ordered.
The will of the Lich King, which was once incomparably powerful, is now more like a way to deliver information.
Left flank of the Scourge β
'Don't Starve Knight' Winter is Approaching (Death Knight): ", Gul'dan is actually hanging, what should I do now?" β
'War Knight' Barbarian King Conan (Death Knight): "What else can I do, run, we are all bosses, and we still have a grudge against Godwin, and we will be liquidated sooner or later if we stay, the Necropolis of Naxxramas is still floating on the sea, let's just go and take over the Necropolis, and find a map that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to open a copy." β
'Famine' Winter is Approaching (Death Knight): "Okay, that's it - little ones, let's get out!" β
The two directly gathered the army of the undead under their command and began to run away.
Anyway, at this time, there are still millions of undead armies fighting on the battlefield, and a large number of cannon fodder is carried in front, and the undead are different from ordinary troops, they lock morale, and there is no need to worry about collapse because of the departure of the generals.
The two were able to gather 100,000 legions of the undead and evacuate the battlefield.
In particular, most of the Black Blade Knights, with the Death Knight as their main combat force, were taken away from the battlefield by the two.
At the same timeβthe right flank of the Scourge Legionβ
Tikdios also noticed the fall of the Lich King.
As the leader of the Dreadlord, he is not technically a subordinate of the Lich King, but more like an overseer sent by the Burning Legion.
Tikdios (Dreadlord): "Damn, I knew Gul'dan was going to disappoint us again." β
Banazar (Dreadlord: "My lord, what should we do?"). Do you want to go ahead with the plan? β
Tikdios (Dreadlord): "Hmph, no, let's retreat, it's okay, we still have a backup plan anyway, at least Gul'dan has completed his mission - attracting enough attention, Dia Pineapple's side is probably almost finding the graveyard, let's go meet them." β
"But then we need an army to complete the rest of the task, take away as many undead as possible, although these bones and rotten flesh are not very effective, but at least there are a considerable number, and they can be used as cannon fodder."
At the sound of the order, several Dreaddemon Kings immediately gathered around and collectively began to cast evil magic.
The Dreadlords are both experts in dark magic, and together they cast teleportation magic, and suddenly summoned a huge portal on the battlefield.
During this time, several Dreadlord also gathered a group of death legions, necromancers, abominations, frost bone dragons, and gargoyles...... A large number of undead escaped the battlefield through the portal under the control of several Dreadlords, and then several Dreadlords also disappeared through the portal.
ββββββ
With the departure of these two powerful forces, the remaining Death Lords of the Scourge Legion quickly lost their fighting spirit.
Jean Greymane leads a group of Ebon Knights to pledge allegiance to the second Lich King Varian.
However, the Kargas Blade Fist fled the battlefield with a force dominated by orc undead.
Kel'thugad also withdrew from the battlefield with the undead troops under his control, and anyone with the Death Lord of the Scourgeon could surrender, but it was absolutely impossible for him, and the mages of Dalaran probably hated him to death, and if he fell into the hands of Dalaran, it would definitely not end well.
There are also many undead bosses who are unwilling to fail, or afraid of retaliation, and flee with more or less undead troops.
In the end, only three or four hundred thousand Scourge undead remained, and the fighting gradually ceased under Varian's control.
When the war was over, the sound of world announcements rang out.
[World Bulletin: In the year 1442 of the Age of the Firmament, under the joint efforts of Aidan, Varian, and Godwin, the Lich King Gul'dan was slain and the wilderness outside Dalaran ended, and the Scourge Expedition ended.
With the fall of the original Lich King Gul'dan and the departure of the Dreadlord and the Death Knight, the Scourge led by Varian gave up resistance, and the war officially ended.
The battle ended with a victory for the Alliance.
It is known as the "Battle of the Three Kings" in history.
Due to the death of the original Lich King, the Scourge Legion has fallen into a state of division for a long time, and a large number of Death Lords continue to wreak havoc on the Eastern Continent and Northrend and other places.
For a long time to come, it will be a huge problem for the alliance.
The main remnants of the Scourge were temporarily pacified under Varian's control......
This event has been documented in the Chronicles of the Skies, Age of the Scourge. γ
[System Prompt: Based on your performance in this story event, you have earned 3450 Story Points.] γ
Mo Fei listened to the sound of the system and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Each level of the Legend rank requires 10,000 plot points, which is simply astronomical, and at this level, the number of plot points earned in story events also decreases, because there is no longer the possibility of overstepping the rank to kill.
Performances like taking the lead in killing the Lich King and defeating Galakron have only given more than 3,000 points, and it seems that there is really a long way to go if you want to be promoted in the future.
This is the first time that Murphy has accomplished a great achievement without being able to advance to the next level.
Godwin was happy, he finally succeeded in becoming a legend.
became the third legendary hero in the game.
Varian was stunned at this time, although he was freed, and even became a new generation of Lich King, and the Helm of Domination was in his hands, but the consequences of his actions were irreparable.
Looking at the battlefield around him, Varian's face was filled with guilt.
Although the battle has ended, the terrible traces of corpses and magic left by dozens of miles have recorded the tragedy of this war, not to mention the terrible disasters caused by the Scourge Legion in the entire eastern continent in the previous period, the entire Riptide Fort Kingdom was almost destroyed, and the wetlands, the South Sea Kingdom, Dalaran, and everywhere are the sins created by the Scourge Legion.
And all of this must be borne by him, the initiator, if it weren't for the sorrow he pulled out of the frost in order to seize the artifact, if it wasn't for the fact that he brought the crown of domination in order to gain power.
None of this will happen.
At this moment, facing his closest friends and relatives, Varian fell silent.
Lothar (Regent of Stormwind): "Varian, my child, it's all over, although you made a big mistake, but all this is not out of your heart, you are also a victim of this disaster, everything still has a chance to be redeemed, come back to Stormwind with me, the Stormwind Kingdom needs a king to lead them." β
Varian raised his head suddenly, "Lord Nolothar, it's impossible for me to go back, the Scourge must have a Lich King to lead me, I have caused too many evil consequences to this world, and this burden must be borne by me."
Countless undead cities and territories have been left behind in the Scourge Expedition, and I must take over these forces to prevent them from causing more harm to the world.
There's also the Necropolis, the Scourge Legion's air fortress with terrifying war potential, and I must take it back.
And the scattered Lords of Death, someone has to put an end to this. β
Murphy knew that Varian was not so easy to whitewash, and he would still have a boss template on his head.
And at this moment, the surrounding adventurers, heroes, also surrounded again.
The first Lich King is dead, but the second Lich King is still there, and the color of his name on his head has only changed to brownish red - not even a neutral unit, just a truce.
Everyone looked at Varian with a mixture of wonder and greed.
The Helm of Domination and the Frost Sorrow, these two artifacts are on Varian's body, and if they are killed......
Although Varian is behind the Scourge Legion, he doesn't even have one-third of the original Scourge Legion's strength, so he can definitely win.
A subtle atmosphere is gradually brewing among the players.
Mo Fei also sensed this atmosphere, and he glanced around coldly.
The majesty of the Ancient Dragon King was suddenly released.
The powerful dragon power makes the surrounding players, whether adventurers or heroes, feel in their hearts.
"Do you want to keep fighting?"
Murphy's voice was a little wary.
"The war is over, Varian is lost, he is no longer our enemy, and if you plan to continue fighting, you will have to face the combined power of the Lich King and the Elder Dragon King, and I hope you had better think carefully before making a decision."
Everyone looked at each other.
Why did you just say that good will triumph over evil, and you're going to join forces with the Lich King......
But don't really say it, no one really dares to do this combination.
In the end, it was the old man Antonidas who broke the embarrassment.
Antonidas (Speaker Dalaran): "Prince Varian, what is the purpose of the Scourge attack, and is it for an even more evil plan, as rumored?"
You must cooperate with us and provide information about the enemy, or you will be completely destroyed as the enemy of Dalaran. β
These words seem to be tough, but they have made enough steps, worthy of the treacherous and cunning Speaker Dalaran.
Varian has been through so much, where he still doesn't understand that this is Antonidas giving him the steps, of course, the biggest reason for giving the steps should be for the sake of the eldest brother.
Varian (Lich King): "Of course I will, and when I was controlled by Gul'dan, I was able to peek into some of his inner memories.
He had a visceral fear and hatred for the Burning Legion, and I once heard a name from the depths of his memory - Sargeras, the Demon King!
But what he really feared was another being, the 'Fraudster' Kilgardan - the commander of the Burning Legion - the lieutenant of Sargeras, the leader of the Eredar Demons.
It was Kil'Gardan who orchestrated all this, Gul'dan was just a pioneer, and his real purpose was to open a portal to another world, unleashing the demonic army of the Burning Legion into this world, when the time comes, the world will be truly doomed.
Although Gul'dan has been destroyed, the demonic minions are still active in this world, and the dreaded demon kings who once accompanied Gul'dan have fled the battlefield, and they will not give up on the mission given by their masters.
The world is still full of threats. β
Antonidas (Speaker Dalaran): "Burning Legion!" Kilgardan! Sure enough, the prophecy has already hinted at all this, and it seems that our war has just begun. β
