Chapter 1013: Two Generations of Guardians in the Bag

Thanks to the news that he learned from the barrage netizens in advance, the Lich King of Naozu can even be said to be forced out by Sarian in advance.

However, what happened to Naozu was just a follow-up to the situation of Sarjan, and according to historical inertia, even if Sarren had not gone to Draenor in person, this stupid roe deer would have fallen headlong into the trap that Kilgardan had set for him.

Just like his "apprentice" Guldan, who was blinded by his obsession with becoming a god and fanatically ran to the tomb of Sargeras.

Strictly speaking, Gul'dan did not really worship the art of Naozu in the first place, but for the Burning Legion behind him to bewitch this old shaman who was highly respected among the orc tribe.

Gul'dan did succeed, and he used his intrigue to replace Naozu, whom he had ruined.

In some ways, the titular master and apprentice have a lot of similarities, even the way they died when they stepped into the Burning Legion's trap.

Under the personal planning of Sargeras, Gul'dan has long since died, and even his soul has not been left.

And although Nao Aozu can only swallow his anger and be a slave of the Burning Legion for the time being, he still survives in soul form.

Seeing that the Scourge Legion is growing stronger and stronger, the confidence in Nao Aozu's heart is getting thicker and thicker.

Sarjan had already analyzed Naozu's character inside and out, and as he had predicted, once he had accumulated enough foundation to break free from the Burning Legion's control, Naozu would never hesitate.

However, at this time, the ambitious Naozu did not know that the great lich Kel'thugad, whom he relied on as his right-hand man, had been placed by his side from the beginning.

Neozu, who had briefly served as the chief of the tribe, was not ignorant of the art of scheming, and promoting Gardin was one of his counterbalances to Kel'thugad.

However, due to the fact that Salian completely changed the fate of the Barov family, and sabotaged Neozu's attempt to pull Fao into the Scourge Legion, Gardin, who narrowly escaped but failed in his mission, is afraid that he will not be reused for a long time.

According to the latest information provided by Kel'thugad, Naozu still has not given up his intention to balance him.

This time, instead of promoting another Lich, he planned to pull together an army of emerging Death Knights with all his might, and firmly hold the control of this Scourge elite in his own hands.

But here's what's interesting, the two alternate leaders of the Death Knights who are favored by Neozu happen to be people whom Sallian knows.

The first was Baron Titus Rivendell, a close friend of Kel'thugard and Lord of Stratholme, who still has considerable influence in the kingdom of Lordaeron.

So far, Baron Rivendell has not officially transformed himself into an undead, and he still needs to remain a human being and occasionally summoned by Queen Garia.

If you are transformed into an undead early, you will not pass the layers of inspections before entering the palace.

Kel'thugad repeatedly assured the Lich King that Baron Rivendell had his heart set on the Scourge and would sooner or later become one of the Lich King's generals.

At this time, Nao Aozu had not yet been completely expanded, and he could still listen to the reasonable persuasion of his subordinates.

However, given the friendship between Kel'thugard and Baron Rivendell, Neozu chose him as his second choice.

His favorite Death Knight leader was a brave and unfortunate human king, Solas Thorbain.

As the first lord of the kingdom of Stormgard, Solas kept the kingdom in good order during his reign, leading the Stormgard's brave soldiers to assist the Alliance in defeating the orc tribes strengthened by demonic blood.

When Solas was in power, the Deadwood Trolls, who had now become a major problem for Stormgard, were left in a corner of the room, unable to make any moths at all.

Before Azeroth completely entered the era of war and a large number of heroes from various countries died on the battlefield, Solas was the best candidate for both battlefield command and personal combat effectiveness.

Neozu also considered Anduin Lothar, the Alliance Marshal who died at the end of the Second Orc War.

Unfortunately, Lothar's body had long since been brought back to Stormwind by King Varian, who regarded him as his adoptive father, and is still buried in the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind.

Although Galia tried her best to block the news that Fao had been resurrected as an undead by the Scourge Legion, Kel'thugad did not stop the action of resurrecting the dead during this time, and many national intelligence services have obtained relevant information.

The Kingdom of Stormwind, which sits on MI7, is also one of them.

In order to prevent Anduin Lothar's body from being desecrated, Varian and Archbishop Benedictas strengthened the garrison of his grave, and the chances of Naozu succeeding were slim.

In contrast, the kingdom of Stormgard, which is still in a state of chaos and busy dealing with trolls and ogres, is easier to manage.

Furthermore, Anduin Lothar is strong-willed and not easily twisted by the Lich King.

Murdered by Garin's own son, Solas died with anger and incomprehension, which would make him more susceptible to the Lich King's bewitchment and the power of the Helm of Domination.

All things considered, Neozu was more likely to choose Solas as the leader of the Death Knights.

As for Alsace?

Neozu didn't intend to make the prince who still had a claim to Lordaeron a general in the first place, and he had a simple position in Alsace - the king of Lordaeron.

Of course, it is the king of Lordaeron, who was completely undead and then taken away by Naozu.

Neozu didn't just look at Arthas because of his identity and personal abilities, he also coveted Arthas's healthy and fresh body.

Although the Helm of Domination is constantly monitoring the undead in various places, it has been locked up in the Ice Throne and cannot move, and it is still an unbearable torture for Nao Zu, who once had a body.

Arthas is the vessel of his choice, and he intends to use a series of plans to gradually destroy Arthas's "fragile" heart, and when the time comes, forcibly take control of his body under the pretext of merging.

As for the final outcome of this battle for souls within the same body...... Saljan just wanted to make a "huh".

After all, Naozu still underestimated Arthas's obsession, overestimating the tenacity of his soul after breaking away from the Helm of Domination.

He is the quintessential pretending to be an unrebellious overhead, and in the original history he turned upside down and became an excellent tonic to nourish the soul of Alsace.

According to Kel'thugad, Neozu has sent people to act in the shadows, and the Cursed Cultists lurking in the kingdom of Stormgard are exploring the garrison of the Russ Necropolis.

As Naozu had predicted, Stormgard's forces had been stretched thin by the increasingly urgent attacks of ogres and trolls at the same time, and there were not many soldiers guarding the tomb.

Since Kel'thugad wants to sit in Lordaeron and continue to grow the Cult of the Damned, Gardin has just been defeated by the failure of his mission.

This time, Kel'thugad sent another high-ranking lich named Les Frostwhisper to Stormgard on a mission to resurrect Soras.

By the time Salian sailed from Yangfan Harbor, Lace Frost was already on his way.

Since the two continents are too far apart to be able to transmit information from Kel'thugad, I wonder if Lyth Frost has succeeded at this point.

Regardless, if Solas is indeed resurrected, Salian has a corresponding plan for dealing with it.

Soras's obsession is nothing more than revenge on the rebel Garin, and witnessing the re-emergence of the kingdom of Stormgard.

In terms of Stormgard's development, Salian can't intervene for the time being, and will have to wait until Darnas returns from Draenor to make a decision.

As for Garin...... This guy's body is still buried on the shores of Lake Darrenmere, and if needed, Saryan can use spiritism to pull him up at any time and let Solas breathe a good breath.

Before the Ice Throne was blasted out of the rift, the Lich King had a strong grip on the undead under his command.

It will be very difficult for any undead who have been forcibly controlled by him to escape the power of the Helm of Domination, unless they ...... They have an extremely strong will to resist and the help of some outside forces.

Fortunately, Nao Zu also knew some of the ways of the Emperor, and he did not have the ability to use this forcible control over the upper echelons of the Scourge Legion, and in the name of giving them the necessary respect and personal space.

Thanks to Naozu's decision, Kel'thugad, who is more than 10,000 people under the Scourge Legion, can maintain long-term contact with Sarjan and relay the latest movements of the Scourge Legion to Sarren in real time.

"I didn't expect it...... That's exactly what happened. ”

After listening to Sarren's detailed explanation, Medivan's face unconsciously showed surprise.

According to what he saw in his visions of the future, the Scourge would be one of Azeroth's henchmen in a timeline.

However, as a celestial wizard of the Astral Mage, when he was still in Karazhin, Medivan had seen a lot of different directions about the future, and he would not take the fantasies he saw as a golden rule.

The future is constantly changing, and no one can guarantee that the timeline will go to the branch they snooped on.

Bronze Dragons can't, and Titans can't.

Unlike Elisander, who once blindly believed in future pictures, Medivan is more calm and sober.

Rather than being trapped by visions of the future that don't know if it will happen, it is better to take every step in front of you and use your own power to change the future that is not in the interests of Azeroth.

Before atoning for her sins, Medivan will be paranoid about protecting Azeroth for a long time.

This is not a bad thing for Sarjan, with such a knowledgeable and powerful archmage walking in the same way, he will be more confident in the future layout.

Compared with Medivan, who was holding his stomach back, his mother Egwen was more salty.

On the one hand, it was because Egwen was no longer young and was not so easily stirred up by Sarren's words, and on the other hand, it was also because of the decline of her own strength.

Egwene is no longer fit to appear on the front-line battlefield, but that doesn't mean the former Guardian is useless.

With nearly a thousand years of experience and knowledge still amassed, Salaen intends to keep her back behind and work in education to nurture more potential future archmages for Azeroth.

"Ha ......"

Listening to Sarren's solicitation, Egwen smiled bitterly and patted his forehead.

"I said at the beginning that I would repay you for helping me resurrect Medivan, and for my education...... Perhaps the rest of my time as a teacher and growing seedlings for Azeroth would be the best fit for me. ”

"Well, I promise you, then, where do I go to work? Quel'Salas? ”
