Chapter 541 The First Confrontation in Andorhal

Ner'zhul's body was completely destroyed by the Burning Legion, and his soul was sealed in the crown of the Lich King, a fel artifact, becoming a quasi-artifact with self-awareness.

The so-called holy artifacts are mostly regarded as exclusive items for sacrificial ceremonies, and carry the power of faith.

The Lich King's Coronet is no exception.

The Burning Legion conquered and destroyed many worlds. In addition to vigorously developing and using evil energy, the other is to use negative spiritual energy.

This is also the reason why they slaughter wherever they go, not just for entertainment, they are also running a business and have specific operational needs.

In any intelligent population, there is no shortage of leading parties and fanatics without hesitation.

There is such a group under the Burning Legion. From Argus, the homeland of the Draenei, to the world of Draenor, to Azeroth, everything.

The crown of the Lich King was created by such people performing religious sacrifices.

Of course, the scene is not very good, after all, "evil spirit, bloody cruelty" is a major feature of the Burning Legion.

As for the quasi-artifact, it can be regarded as marking the power level and even the value of the Lich King's crown.

Ner'zhul relied on this device with its own brain wave amplification device to control the Scourge with consciousness.

Its core team, of course, was the group of Shadowmoon Priests who had been exiled with him in the Twisting Void, and had also suffered bad luck together. They all became liches and continued to serve him as their master.

The appearance of a lich is too characteristic, and it is not suitable for intelligence investigation, inciting riots, assassination and assassination.

Thus, there was the Sect of the Damned, Kel'Thuzad, who was considered to be the patriarch of the famous sect, gained power and knowledge of the evil sect, but also shouldered many missions.

One of the missions is to lure Arthas Menethil to Northrend.

The Lich King was originally more optimistic about Garin? Trollbane.

He felt that if Prince Jialin could be dealt with, it would not only deal a massive blow to the humans in the Eastern Continent, but also win the favor of the demon masters.

Flattery, hypocrisy and obedience, the Lich King pleases the demons, not because he is willing to be a dog, but to paralyze those guys and make it easier for him to do things.

The evil camp also has its own many ways to play.

One of them is to operate on the line.

Like the Lich King, he has a steelyard in his heart. On the one hand, he is trying to please the demon master and do his best for him, and on the other hand, he is planning for himself.

If he wants to fight back from the Burning Legion, he needs to make a lot of preparations, including getting himself a nice new body.

Galin Trollbane, said to be the Apostle of the Holy Light. If you catch him and perform the blasphemy ritual, you will not only please the demon master, but also gain a powerful body.

It must be said that Ner'zhul knew that the naaru, who represented the holy light, would transform into a dark star once it reached the end of its life.

According to oriental metaphysics, it is extreme yang against yin.

It's a pity that Kane's vigilance has always been extremely high, and the targeting force sent by the Lich King has never been able to find a suitable time to attack.

The Lich King was also impatient and ordered his subordinates to forcibly strike, but as a result, all those who did it disappeared.

After this happened again and again, the Lich King finally understood that his subordinates could not deal with Cain.

So he settled for the next best thing and turned his mind on Alsace.

Kel'Thuzad still has a lot of experience on how to deceive the young prince. Simply speaking, he wants to destroy him and make him crazy first.

A young man is passionate and impulsive, and he became a prince from Alsace. In the first 20 years of his life, it can be said that it was smooth sailing, proud and arrogant. To deal with this kind of person, making him emotional is a good way.

Therefore, even when attacking the city in the middle of the night, Kel'Thuzad deliberately pretended to be chic and elegant, turning black and white, and criticizing the ruler of the kingdom.

Alsace was really pissed off, he commanded the battle with all his might, and ended up with his own hand.

Under the heavy protection of the guards, Kel'Thuzad deliberately provoked Alsace.

Arthas could bear it at first, and Jaina was beside him, trying to ignore Kel'Thuzad's thoughts and concentrate on fighting.

But the battle was stalemate, and it gradually developed in a direction that was unfavorable to the human side, and Alsace was worn out.

Finally opened his mouth and scolded Kel'Thuzad.

This is actually losing for a while, stepping into the rhythm of others, being pulled down to the level of expressing some anger by swearing.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Kel'Thuzad deliberately leaked information during the scolding, and revealed the existence of the dreadlord Malganis to Arthas.

"The man behind the scenes is a demon?" Alsace felt that this information was credible. The nightmarish monster swarm he encountered tonight was indeed not something ordinary people could create.

At this time, the battle situation became more and more unfavorable for the human side, mainly because everyone knew little about the undead, and many people did not notice the terrible pollution, like the plague cloud of hatred. It doesn't feel good after a few sips, but you can transform after taking a few more sips.

In addition, the disgust and fear brought by the undead is also a great weapon. The abomination is also called the stitch monster. Seeing it will make people afraid, angry and disgusting, while the ghouls like to eat corpses on the spot and get injured. I ran to eat the corpse, blood and flesh splattered, and the sensory stimulation was absolutely strong.

Bone Soldiers aren't very scary, but bows and arrows don't work very well against them.

These thick and strong guys who seem to have bone hyperplasia are not as weak and weak as they look, but it is true that their movements are not round enough. This weakness was discovered and used by some outstanding fighters.

The Bone Mage mainly attacks by launching fel arrows, which are not as powerful as evocation spells, and toxins are not as erosive as voodoo spells, but the mixed damage of both is also very troublesome. Armor or something, two or three hits will seriously injure you.

Fortunately, after the rise of the manufacturing industry in the Kingdom of Stormgard, the cheap standard armor made the officers and soldiers of the Alliance change their outfits one after another. And its original equipment flowed into the private sector at a lower price.

With the current equipment of Andorhal's militiamen, if they appear in the original historical line, it is absolutely believed that they are the main elite. Therefore, the human side has a considerable advantage in equipment.

In the original historical line, due to the lack of understanding of the undead and the lack of obvious equipment advantages, many brave fighters were killed by the undead in exchange for injuries.

Undead monsters no matter how the opponent hurts them, just attack the opponent with all their strength, and as a result, they die and the target is also injured.

One or two are inconspicuous, but the total damage stacked is very impressive. No matter how heroic you are, if you encounter someone who is not afraid of death, it will be very difficult to escape unscathed.

It is not very easy for the undead to play this kind of warfare now.

The human side has a strong army, and under the command of a qualified commander, there is no obvious gap to exploit. In the case of being stubborn, the undead will suffer a lot. After all, low-level undead are not good at being quick and agile, and their IQ Generally, this is very different from the Forsaken that appeared in the original history line.

However, this time the undead were well prepared and there were a large number of them. Under the command of Kel'Thuzad, they followed each other, desperately squeezing the human side's room for maneuvering.

The human officers and soldiers led by Arthas were forced to keep retreating.

Kel'Thuzad has always grasped the rhythm and initiative of the battle, and after thinking about it, he cooperated with a group of necromancers and summoned a large number of undead bones to the forefront.

This kind of urgently summoned bone immortal has a time, and when the time is up, it will collapse on its own.

This kind of cannon fodder is suitable for use now, they go up, and high-value units are removed.

By the time Alsace commanded the soldiers to wipe out this wave of skeletons, Kel'Thuzad had already disappeared into the night surrounded by his subordinates.

Looking at Andorhal again, there are so many casualties and devastation everywhere.

When the two sides fought before, the meat grinder kept throwing corpse bombs behind them, but Andorhal had no effective countermeasures. The erosion effect of the bombs was still continuing, and some houses suddenly collapsed with a bang.

Arthas slammed his fist against the wall angrily, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Malganis!"

About half an hour after the undead forces withdrew, cavalry teams arrived at the Icewind Dale rampart in the south and Hearthglen in the north, because Andorhal used a distress signal before.

The concept of using the distress signal flare was also proposed by Kane and was the first to start using it. Specifically, it is a special magic firework bomb that can form a light pattern up to 1 minute at high altitude.

In Azeroth, whether it is humans, elves, dwarves, or gnomes, there are similar equipment, but none of them are as professional and clever as Kane.

After all, Kane's advantage is not only technology, but also vision.

Isn't there such a saying: as big as the heart, the stage is as big as it is.

Kane's vision is extraordinary compared to the living beings in Azeroth. For the same thing, he can play from a high altitude, which is still the game term: it seems that he is not playing a game.

In fact, that's all there is to it, the difference is the time and money spent.

Kane's sharpness makes sense, but his aggressive and stacked process is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Turning back to the signal flare, there was the first one to play a new trick, and imitators appeared soon.

It didn't take long before all the kingdoms followed suit one by one, although not necessarily all of them. It's not that Kane doesn't teach, but that the application of this technology is supported by a huge and complete system in the Kingdom of Falcon. This is like the difference between the effect of a magic weapon in the hands of a first-class swordsman and that of an ordinary person.

And even if the Kingdom of Lordaeron didn't learn everything, it proved that this kind of artifact has military value.

Even Kel'Thuzad knew and feared it. If it wasn't so, he might not just accept it as soon as he sees it. Maybe seeing that the situation is favorable, he would let the bone-type puppets and ordinary soldiers work together to take Alsace down directly.

Alsace's resentment, and even a little back row, actually included this point. In his own country, it was a shame to be so close to being beaten alive, or killed in battle.

He is now burning with anger and eager for revenge, but there are many trees around Andorhal, and it is also the darkest day before dawn, after all, reason overwhelms sensibility, and he did not force the pursuit.

Two guest armies arrived one after another. The people coming from Hearthglen are the troops of Karente Mograine, Duke of Hessgreen.

Although Alsace is a prince, he doesn't have the authority to command the duke. Even his father has to discuss it well and ask Karente for his consent.

Not to mention the support army of Icewind Dale Barrier.

From a jurisprudential point of view, Galin Trollbane could not command the troops of the Falken Kingdom, and the Falcon Legion was directly responsible to the king.

Kane also never took direct command of the army.

This is a very serious matter, even if Solas doesn't mind, there must be a distinction between public and private, otherwise it won't be enough to convince the public.

Alsace also understood this, but the young man was rarely frustrated. This incident made him very unhappy, and he deeply felt that he lacked strength and help. He doesn't even have an excellent adjutant by his side, let alone a confidant who can take care of himself.

For the first time, he felt that being a prince was quite boring.

Even if it is a small captain of the Silver Hand, there are at least 10 professional soldiers to command.

What about him?

The performance of the few followers around him disappointed him very much.

Even though he knew that the entourages were not trained in the first line, and the disgusting, terrifying, sturdy, and weirdness of the undead made even him feel horrified, he still couldn't help thinking, why didn't I even have a powerful helper by my side? None?
