Volume IV Reign of Chaos 278 The Frozen Throne

The war to conquer them was honestly not as cruel as I imagined, and the danger existed only for me.

In the battle against Utgard Castle, the capital of their kingdom, my troops were not supported by their guards after charging at them, and Kilwinter, as the Overseer, only punished Semu for not coming to our aid in time after the battle, and the matter was over. Of course, this guy didn't end up well at all, you know this guy?

I don't know...... Forget it!

I was just angry that they weren't really thinking about anything else, but after it started to happen three times and twice, I realized the problem.

I'm not a good schemer, and it's a waste of time for me to think about these things, and I happen to be a very troublesome person. So, after another failed attack, I cut off the head of a lieutenant named Grohn with a single sword. But I don't know if such a deterrent will be useful, because Imiron surrendered in the next battle.

His surrender came at a very good time, when we already had a considerable number of resurrected Vikus in our army. At first, we didn't expect them to surrender, until a Viku hero named Istophus Coldheart mentioned his beliefs and experiences now. After he told us something about their Viku, before the next day's battle, the resurrected heroes appeared in front of the battle.

I saw the exclamations of the Viku people, because the resurrection only exists in their legends. Isdophus Coldheart walked between the two armies and met their king. The rest of the story is that the king will be suspicious and start a battle, and in Eastopher's words, the king wants to know if these reborn heroes are worthy of their continued remembrance. In fact, I just want to see if these guys have become stronger or weaker after being resurrected.

The king was brave and brave, and his people followed suit, but Imiron's army was quickly defeated in the face of the resurrection that brought far more strength and resistance than it once had. But I didn't want him to run away, so he fell to the ground after I shot him in the calf with an arrow, and was bitten to death by the ghouls who pounced on him. The king's fall to the ground immediately caused the army to lose its backbone, and the situation that could barely support it immediately took a big turn, and they immediately collapsed.

After the battle, Imiron's body was dragged back, and Kel'thugad was not here, so Kilwinter himself presided over the king's resurrection ceremony. Under the watchful eye of many old subordinates and heroes, King Imiron's eyes opened. At first, he wanted to put on another shelf and pretend, but as all the resurrected people fell to their knees again and pledged their allegiance to him, he didn't show much embarrassment.

But he still has to put on a show when facing us, after all, Kilwinter is the only one who can still scare others, he is a lich. After the resurrection, the king still has to have the king's shelf, but at this time, he will lose a lot of the things of the past with the resurrection, such as mercy and mercy...... And love.

Of course, for him to surrender completely, this will have to be done after taking him to meet the Lich King. The only bit of pride that existed in front of us was shattered in front of Arthas. At that time, Arthas was still sitting on the throne and did not move. After completely subduing Imiron, he returned to his kingdom with his men......

As you probably know, the scattered subjects at his call have returned, but some of them have expressed misgivings about such a resurrection, believing that it is not in line with their beliefs and is a demonic way. So...... The end result was civil strife.

Imirons ushered in a new era for their kingdom and people, and King Imiron became a god-like being in their mouths, a new object of worship. Of course the people need idols, the people need faith, and Imiron is their new faith. Although they no longer feared death, Imiron would not allow all his people to commit suicide to follow him, and death would not be reborn without the consent of the king. Only those who have been recognized are eligible for the chance of eternal life after they have achieved honor on the battlefield.

This is also the reason why this group of guys was frustrated again and again before the Alliance Horde attacked Icecrown Fortress later. They are not dead, but they are braver than the dead, and death is a reward for them, and they will be resurrected. Do you remember when there was no one left on the battlefield that was not cleaned up the next morning after fighting during the day?

They were all resurrected. If it weren't for the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army and the subsequent tactical adjustments, you would not have been able to reach the Gate of Damnation.

It wasn't until Imiron surrendered that my arm was completely healed, and that's when I felt that I didn't belong here. Imiron and his people began to build everything here, and I continued to fight in the land with my army. It's a forgotten land, but it's also a place where there are a lot of secrets. This kind of life has been mixed up for years, and finally one day when I came to the land where you and the tribe landed together, I noticed something terrible.

You should know that to the west of that land known as the Borean tundra, there is a separate island in the vast sea. As far as I can tell, your soldiers seem to have explored there. Hmph, it's not that I underestimate you, there's basically no going back. It was also there that I gained a new understanding of myself and finally decided to leave Alsace.

In fact...... Ever since Imiron joined Arthas with his people, I have not been able to feel Arthas for more and more time, and the throne has become stranger and stranger to me, and sometimes I even have the illusion that he is dead when I look at it from afar.

I once asked them if they felt any change in the Lich King's powers, and I only asked the Death Knights to prevent the lich from thinking anything, but I couldn't feel any change from their mouths, they were still loyal servants of the Lich King. For the years that followed, I didn't even feel Arthas's presence at all, and he seemed to sink into a kind of sleep, as I would say later. That's when I discovered the island and had the idea of leaving.

The island belonged to the dragon.

Do you remember when we landed in Kalimdor and encountered a dragon? He resembles the dragons on that island, both blue or a faint shade of blue. They're different from other dragons I've seen, I've seen green, red, or...... Black, that's another special color.

They rumored that there was a strange presence on that island, and I didn't know what was there until I went. Ha! It was supposed to be the lair of the blue dragon, and there were a lot of young and undergrown dragons, and there were some half-grown dragons, and although I was not proficient in magic at all, the atmosphere of that place really made me feel different from ordinary land.

I ...... this feeling I can't put it into words with you, it's so strange that I even feel like I'm in a trance. There I saw my past, and my present, and even I saw what I wanted to see.

Yes...... Stormwind, Stormwind Kingdom, Varian......

Hum...... Does my brother's death have anything to do with you?

It was because I saw that he wasn't dead that I decided to get out of there.

If you have the leisure you can let your people go to that island, I don't know what's going on there right now, but I'm sure you'll love it.

Didn't you tell me to go to your daughter? Actually, if you go to that place, you can see him from the magic crystal there.

Of course, this comes at a cost.

Yes, the price.

I didn't finish just now, and you didn't ask, of course there is some price to pay. It can also be called...... Step up your game.

The dragons there weren't friendly to the red and green dragons, and I didn't know they would be so vicious...... But the way these guys treat us can't be described as cruel, it's just crazy. I don't know if it's their color dragon itself that's like that or if it's crazy...... Anyway, we were forced to withdraw without exploring the ultimate secret, but in the process of sneaking in, we saw countless crystals in the lair that the dragon didn't know how to build, and it was there that I was able to see some fragments through the crystals.

I can't explain this situation, you don't have to ask me, I've already told you, you can see for yourself.

After returning to the Lich King from that place, I had a market in my head about the past, and I realized ...... I wasted my time, I wasted my chances, I missed too much.

Ha! When I revisit some of the past I saw in the crystal, I will ...... Regret, chagrin...... I look at it from an outsider's point of view, and I experience it from an insider's state of mind. I felt pain at that time......

I...... Reflecting on my past, I suddenly wanted to do something, or change something.

No, no, no...... I...... Didn't see the future.

I don't know, I'm not sure if it's the future.

I've made it clear...... Ah, you're wondering about you...... Is my daughter's future right? Or yours?

You can see for yourself, and now your army may be able to sustain you enough to storm their castle. I don't have to tell you where the crystal is, as long as you're not blind, you'll see it. But I'm just telling you that I don't see my future. Even when I saw Edwin's image, I couldn't see what was going to happen in the future.

Of course, I didn't tell Alsace about my departure, and I considered telling him whether or not to tell him, but then I felt like it was better not to say it. Not to mention whether he can tolerate the people around him who have independent thoughts, it is estimated that he will go crazy just because of this situation, although I don't want to admit it, but this should be...... Betray it.

I left quietly.

I felt like I had been ostracized and even framed during the battle with the Vikus, but thankfully I survived, so I didn't even greet him when I decided to leave there, not even Soval, and I left on a snowstorm night after following him for years, and the ice and snow would wipe out my tracks.

I returned once again to the place where we had landed on our way back to Northrend from Kalimdor, and Arthas had not called me once for so long before I left Northrend.

The landing site was also docked by the boat we were on when we came back, and there were guards on board, and those guys took me out of there.

What's wrong with them?

Why listen to me?

They are servants of the Lich King, but they know me too, and this face of mine is permission.

To be honest, it was only after the boat had sailed far away that I suddenly came to my senses, and I suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. But this sudden enlightenment didn't last long, I thought about a lot of things, but when I thought about the future, suddenly I didn't know where to start. I'm thinking about whether to go back to Stormwind Kingdom or Lordaeron first, I really want to go back to Stormwind Kingdom first, but ...... Sometimes fate will make choices for you. It was not I who chose fate, but fate who chose me.
