Menethil's Power

Chapter 298 The Third Mission

The war in Quel'Thalas still shows no signs of subsiding, and this war involving the entire continent and even the entire world is bound to continue for several months.

The plague of natural disasters was also breaking out in Silverpine Forest at this time, and it showed a strong tendency to spread. Lordaeron had to send some paladins of the Silver Hand who stayed in the country, and Dalaran also sent a large number of mages to try to Find out how to eradicate the plague.However, no one expected that even more terrifying darkness was growing in neglected areas.

With Isaacs' spared no effort to promote, Lordaeron has clear and strict implementation regulations on the production, transportation and epidemic prevention of the country's food, coupled with the asylum of the world tree Lordaeron, it is almost impossible for the Cursed Cultists to Find opportunity in this country.So they had to retreat and switch targets, and chose the other two human kingdoms in the northern continent-Gilneas and Stromgarde.

After all, the population of Silverpine Forest is limited, and most of them live in a few towns. Therefore, in the planning of the Cultists of the Damned, this is only a second-class plague pilot. Their real focus is on the Arathi Highlands. After all, Stromgarde is a The population is second only to the human country of Lordaeron.

They have long been lurking here.

In the original timeline, the headquarters of the Cult of the Damned was the psychic academy on Caer Dron Island, but Isaacs planted a world tree here, so these psychics had to find other As for where the new psychic academy will be located, no one knows yet.

Corruption continues to spread in the Kingdom of Stromgarde, and it is almost impossible to stop it. After all, Stromgarde does not have as many clergymen as Lordaeron, and there is no other red dragon that will cleanse the plague here, not to mention because of the return to the alliance. In order to show sincerity, Stromgarde sent nearly one-third of the army to Quel'Thalas for support, which further weakened the kingdom's defense force.

At this time, it has been almost half a year since the fall of the Sunwell. It is unimaginable what kind of torture the nearly one million civilians on the Arathi Heights have suffered, but it is amazing that no news has come out at all. A messenger was sent to bring a letter from Galin Trollbane, Prince of Stromgarde, to King Solas, who was in Lordaeron at this time.

Solas has stayed in the Royal City of Lordaeron since he participated in the alliance summit, continuing his previous habit of leaving domestic affairs to his eldest son.But after receiving this letter, he immediately set off for home.In his letter, Garin told him that a plague had broken out in Stromgarde, and the situation had become so serious that it was beyond his control. The people of Stromgarde now need their real king.

Stromgarde inherited part of the legacy of the Arathor Empire 3000 years ago, including Thoradin's Wall-the longest and strongest border defense line built by humans.Solas found his son's camp at Newstead near Thoradin's Wall.

"His Royal Highness is talking to the mayor of Newstead, and I will report to him about His Majesty's arrival," said the guard guarding the gate. He and all the other soldiers were wearing full armor, with only one pair of eyes exposed, unable to see to the face.

"No need, take me to find him." Solas waved his hand.

The soldiers led Solas into the camp, while the king's own guards were arranged to rest. Solas was a heroic warrior, but these guards were not.

Prince Jialin's camp was very peaceful, Solas walked in without any doubt, but what he saw was not his son, but a terrifying existence.This is a half-floating monster in ice-blue robes. His body is a terrifying skeleton wrapped in frosty air, and his empty eyes are staring at Solas.

This turned out to be a lich.

Naturally, Solas would not know this kind of high-level undead, but this did not prevent him from judging it as an enemy. He immediately drew out his saber, "Guard, guard!" he shouted, losing his mind Think about why the enemy appeared in his son's camp.

The Lich giggled strangely, summoned a huge ice crystal star and threw it at Solas, who immediately dodged to dodge, but the aftermath of the ice star's explosion still covered his body with frost, followed by more Icicles gushed out from the ground, trying to pierce Solas' body.

After all, the King of Stromgarde was a heroic warrior. He swung his weapon and his long sword shattered the icicles like a whirlwind, but this inevitably covered his body with more frost, making him temporarily in a stationary state. body state.

But that's all, Thoradin will be out of trouble soon, and the lich seems to be at the end of his rope at this time.

But is this attack all there is?
At this time another person hidden in the tent suddenly moved, he rushed out at an extremely fast speed, the target was Thoradin, a long sword flashing with strange light pierced the King of Stromgarde accurately and viciously His back pierced through his heart.

Solas turned slowly and looked at the familiar face in disbelief. Galin Trollbane looked at his father expressionlessly. His face was pale and his hair had turned pale without a trace of color. .

"What are you doing, my son?" Solas asked in a trembling voice.

As a heroic fighter, even if the heart is pierced, it will not be fatal immediately. However, Solas only felt a cold numbness quickly spread from the heart to the whole body. It was obvious that Jialin had prepared for a long time, and painted the deadly sword on the sword. poison.

"Inherit you, father." Jialin said coldly the line that should not belong to him, and he twisted the long sword in his hand vigorously.There was a gurgling sound in Solas's throat, his eyes were straightened, and he quickly collapsed, the breath of life faded from his body, and Solas' eyes were full of disbelief when he was dying.

Garin indifferently pulled out the long sword from his father's corpse, staring at the blood stains on this weapon. This is a weapon passed down from generation to generation by the Trollbane family. His glorious ancestors probably never thought of it The sword would be stained with the blood of the Trollbane tribe.

"Good job, Your Highness, oh no, Your Majesty, your decisiveness is surprising." The Lich smiled darkly.

Garin looked at the Lich, and shook off the blood on Tokaral. He didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations after killing his father, "What should we do next, Master Frostwhisper?"

Les Frostwhisper, he should be said to be the first human being who voluntarily turned into a lich. He was originally the third son of the Brov family. When Isaacs expelled the Brov family to the northern border, most people They all died within a few years, and the Cultists of the Damned found the rest. Rice, who was full of hatred, accepted the proposal of the Cultists of the Damned and became the effective lackey of the Scourge.

"The next step is to spread your rule over the entire kingdom, and then cross Thoradin's Wall, spreading death and fear throughout Lordaeron. This is the master's plan." The lich replied.

……

Outside of Newstead, Kalia watched the camp quietly. At this time, she did not wear a black robe to conceal her identity, but completely revealed her true form, with flamboyant demon horns and blue Flame-like pupils, pale skin without a trace of blood, and a pair of dark blue bat wings.All show her inhuman identity.

In terms of appearance alone, Kalia, who was already beautiful, possessed an evil charm at this time, even enough to become a goddess in the minds of some people with special hobbies.But no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she is in Kalia's situation, she may not be able to raise the slightest concern about her own image.

There is also a tall figure beside Kalia, which is a pure dreadlord. "Interesting and interesting, using mind control to confuse the prince, and then driving his killed father to make him completely degenerate, such an ingenious strategy! If it weren't for If we don't have female siblings, I even wonder if you are a natural Nathrezim."

This should be regarded as a compliment, but Kalia was completely unmoved, "I don't need you to judge what I did, Bazanar. Can you tell me what the third mission is now?"

Tichondrius promised to only ask Kalia to do three things, and controlling Stromgarde was the second. Of course Kalia knew what terrible things she had done, but after learning that the potion she helped spread in the first place ended After she had no effect, she completely buried her conscience and sympathy in the deepest part of her heart.

It can only be said that fortunately none of these terrible things happened in Lordaeron, this is the only comfort Kalia can give herself.

Tichondrius seemed to be busy with something recently, so he no longer contacted Kalia in person, but sent a subordinate over.Although Bazanar can only be regarded as a second-rate dreadlord in terms of strength and status, he has the cruelty, cunning, and greed of Nathrezim standards.

"Hand over the control of these undead and Prince Garin to me." The dreadlord said bluntly: "Master Tichondrius needs you to go to Dalaran to get something."

Kalia has no interest in these rights, she just desperately hopes to end this as soon as possible, she doesn't want to be used by these demons anymore, "What?" she asked.

"Scepter of Sargeras."

Kalia's pupils shrank suddenly. Although she didn't know what the purpose of the so-called scepter was, since it was named after the lord of the legion, it meant that it must be powerful and evil.

"I shouldn't be able to do it." Kalia said bluntly. Dalaran must guard the Sargeras Scepter very closely. Enter the magical city that has stood for thousands of years.

"So it must be at the right time, and these cursed believers will give you enough help..." Bazanar said unhurriedly.
