Volume IV The Reign of Chaos 190 The Sycophants
Uther was not buried, and Arthas did not clean up the battlefield. It's not that he doesn't have military literacy and the most basic battlefield rules, but he doesn't need to clean at all. Those who can be resurrected will be called, and those who cannot be resurrected will never waste a second on it.
The paladins and ordinary soldiers who came to fight were transformed into the lowliest Scourge soldiers. In the legion they can be called soldiers, or they may not be called so, they have a uniform name...... Ghoul.
I used to think it was a pretty overbearing and cool name, but now when I think of it, I think of maggots in a dung pit and dogs eating. Instead, I don't think of scavengers like vultures.
The lowest soldiers in the Legion of the Undead are not the walking corpses, at least they still have the appearance of a human being, at least they can walk upright. But once you become a ghoul, you have to crawl on the ground.
Of course, these things are stronger than the walking corpse in terms of attack power and movement speed, but in all battles, these things must rush to the front as consumables.
The main reason is that ghouls die when they die, but there is a certain probability that the walking corpse can be resurrected as a ghoul after falling.
In order to adapt to the crawling of limbs on the ground, these things have to modify the bones, the original human pelvic shape and the shape of the femoral head, especially the structure of the knees, are not suitable for crawling on all fours, in order to make them into a beast-like posture, their pelvis will break when they mutate, just like a woman gives birth to a child and opens the bone slit. However, this cracking causes their lower limbs to take on an exaggerated posture, with their knees skimming to their sides.
If you have to give a metaphor, it has to be...... Toad...... That kind of hind-limb posture. This allows them to crawl and jump in a variety of positions.
Some soldiers were originally armoured, and some of the armor would fall off, while others would remain permanently draped over it until it was killed.
Among the ghouls there was a paladin named Hogus, I don't know him, but someone knew him, and Thassarian knew him, and Marduk knew him.
This guy's biggest feature is two big teeth, this guy was not good-looking when he was born, and his appearance became even more disgusting after he died and became a ghoul. Because he was a paladin in his lifetime, he had far more armor than any other ghoul. And this guy is already big, so it will stand out among those ghouls lying on the ground.
If humans hunt with dogs, then ghouls are the dogs of the Death Knights, so to speak.
Although they became ghouls and were members of their own command, Arthas's eyes were still full of disdain when they looked at them.
What is the status of these ghouls under your hands?
Oh...... Do you still have ghouls under you?
Janitor? Ghouls as cleaners? They only eat corpses...... You don't have many corpses to clean up.
Hehe...... You are the one who can turn them into model workers.
Resurrection Uther?
Thanks to you for coming up with it!
After Uther's death, Arthas only glanced at him and walked away. And when he resurrected the ghouls, Uther didn't move at all.
Arthas glanced back again, but the hatred and anger in that look were gone, but I didn't see it if I was suspicious, because he didn't react to Uther's corpse and walked away without looking back.
Shortly after we left the city, we saw a large crowd of people on the north avenue of the city, and I saw that the posture and dress of those people did not look like they had come to fight, so I glanced at Arthas, his face was expressionless, and the group in front of him seemed to him not to exist.
When they were still dozens of meters away from them, they all knelt down. I really didn't expect this scene.
When we got closer, we realized that they seemed to be all living people. And the clothes he wears look like rich people.
Arthas looked at them coldly on his horse.
Then the older man at the front got up from the ground, and slowly walked up to Arsar's horse, and saluted him respectfully.
Arthas tilted his head to look at the person in front of him, "Are you...... Who? ”
The man raised his eyelids and looked at the prince and said, "I am the lord of Keldaron, Duke Alex Barov, and I have been waiting here for His Majesty the King for a long time. ”
Arthas snorted, "You're still alive?" ”
"I am willing to give everything for you, Your Majesty." He said.
"Your life." Arthas spoke directly.
"As long as His Majesty the King is willing, the Barov family is willing to work for His Majesty." This man's words did not give Alsace any ups and downs.
"I want it now." Alsace said.
Barov in front of him said: "I have made all preparations for the service of His Majesty the King. He looked up as he spoke. I'm not an ordinary person anymore. He said.
Seeing that Arthas did not react, he continued: "I am now reborn. ”
"What do you mean?" Arthas frowned.
"Lord Kel'thugad's experiment has succeeded, and I have now abandoned my past life, and now I am resurrected." As he spoke, pride written all over his face.
"Kel'thugad?" Arthas squinted at the man in front of him. "Do you know anything else about Kel'thugad?"
"Not only do I know but I have a very good relationship with him, I have given my family domain to him, and he is the one who led me to eternal life."
Arthas's face tensed. He was silent for a moment and said, "You...... Gained eternal life? ”
"The sect led by Lord Kel'thugad has been studying the method of eternal life, and I am the first beneficiary." He said.
"Kel'thugad is so great." Arthas's tone grew eerie.
"No, compared to Your Majesty's grand ambitions, what we have done is nothing more than a small trick." He heard Alsace's upset.
"What about them?" Arthas nodded with his chin to the group in front of him.
"They are waiting for His Majesty's blessing." Barov said.
"Why don't you use your method to let them run with you to eternal life?"
"Lord Kel'thugad has said that Your Majesty will come to our rescue." He said.
"Save?"
"Take us out of this plague of life and usher in a new era for His Majesty the King together." He said.
Alsace's tense face stretched a little as he said this. He said: "Kel'thugad is dead. ”
Barov smiled and said: "But His Majesty the King is here now." He said with a deep bow.
Arthas pursed his mouth slightly, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth, "I hate that sect in your mouth!" I want to kill you all right now! ”
The Barov family is really shrewd to the extreme. Their family is more slick than anyone else about speculation. Alex Barov, as the head of the house, wanted to speculate again, but ...... He seems to have miscalculated.
He was stunned for a long time in the face of Arthas's disgusted words, and the look in his eyes that went from surprise to panic completely reflected the change in his heart at this time.
I'm trying to remember the man in front of me, whom I had met more than twenty years ago, and his father, the old man named Abigail. Now he really has a little bit of that old thing on his face.
As soon as Arthas said this, I drew my sword and put it on his neck. The man was so clever that he didn't look like a man who had come back from the dead, and he threw himself on his knees.
"He's lying." I tilted my head to look at Arthas.
Arthas's face sank, and the look on his face made it impossible for me to tell if he had seen through the man's tricks or didn't care at all. He stared at the man on his knees, "Look up." He said.
The man on his knees looked up tremblingly, and he looked at Arthas with a look of pity in his eyes.
Ha...... It's true...... That's when I suddenly found out that the boy had become a ...... Man. His current momentum can be called completely unangry and arrogant, even more terrifying than his father's momentum. "Tell me, in that group...... Which are the people of the cursed sect, you go and take them...... Point it out. ”
The look on this man's face gave me a glimpse of a different side of Alsace. It was really from this time that he became more and more fond of watching things that went against the will of human nature.
He likes to see people make decisions.
Just like now.
Barov stood up, and the look on his face was interesting. He probably regretted dying now.
He walked slowly to the group, and then called out the large group of people at the back of the crowd, but the group of men and women in front of him, and the group of people in gorgeous clothes, did not have a single one.
When he brought all the scapegoats to Arthas, he looked at Barov coldly, and he didn't even glance at the group of people who had been brought to him.
And when Barov looked up at Arthas, our Lich King swung his sword and cut off the head of the man at the front.
Blood splashed Barov's face, and the guy's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he knelt on the ground again. "You're damned." He squeezed the phrase out between his teeth, "You and your family are damned!" ”
I don't know if he also knows about the Barov family, but this sentence is really disgusting.
When the minions around him swarmed up and killed all the unsuspecting substitutes, Barov was already trembling like a sieve.
"Aren't those people from the Cursed Sect?" Arthas asked softly.
