Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 257 Two into one
Vereesa immediately gave the order to attack, "Charge, kill all the undead!"

The crew immediately rushed forward, but before them, there were drones everywhere. Before the drones reached the battlefield, the cannons on the Black Pearl roared.

"Boom boom boom——"

After three rapid shots, the drone arrived at the battlefield just in time.

The bombing drones headed straight for the group of undead, dropping magic bombs one by one. The combat drones followed closely behind, shooting at the undead who wanted to resist. After the bombs and bullets washed the ground, the crew rushed over.

Jack stood up and rode Trilliax back to the sanctuary. The battle was over, and the refugees could be organized to return to Lordaeron.

However, at this moment, an emergency occurred.

Three dreadlords appeared on the battlefield. They put the nearby crew members to sleep, and then teleported away from the battlefield with Arthas' body and Frostmourne.

Jack felt something was wrong when he saw this. These dreadlords might have some conspiracy, otherwise they would not have taken Arthas' body away. For the dreadlords, a dead Arthas was of no use.

Outside the city of Lordaeron, the dreadlords appeared on a hillside.

Varimathras looked at the body of Arthas in his hand and asked puzzledly: "Arthas has lost his usefulness. Why did the Lich King bring his body back?"

"Who knows what tricks the Lich King is playing next." Deselok said with his hands spread out.

This dreadlord somehow escaped from Hades and still followed Arthas to Lordaeron to escort the Lich King's plan.

Balnazzar smiled disdainfully and said, "Take it back. I want to see what the Lich King is up to."

The other two dreadlords also laughed. The dreadlords were the ancestors of conspiracy and intrigue. They had known for a long time that the Lich King was doing something in secret, but they had never exposed him.

Having said that, the three of them practiced casting teleportation spells and teleported back to the glacier in northern Northrend.

It was a huge dome made of ice, designed to protect the Lich King.

Because of the torture of demons, the Lich King's soul is extremely unstable. Even if it is attached to the armor, it is likely to disintegrate, so the Dreadlords froze the armor in ice. Only in this way can the Lich King's broken soul be preserved.

The dreadlords came to the Lich King's throne and threw Arthas' body on the ground.

"Lich King, Arthas's soul has been destroyed. What do you want his body for?"

Facing the questioning of the dreadlords, the Lich King was not angry. Instead, he said kindly: "Arthas is the most important part of my plan. I need him to do many things. Without him, the great plan of the Legion will be affected."

Varimathras said: "You are well aware of this, so state your purpose."

Lich King: "Arthas is important because of his identity. He is the prince of Lordaeron, but this identity is enough to make the humans of Lordaeron feel fear. And he is also an excellent death knight. If Lordaeron is too far away from me, Arthas will not be killed."

Deselok asked, "Do you know who killed him? I sensed a familiar presence."

Lich King: "Of course you are familiar with him. He is Gangplank who imprisoned you in Hell. Of course, this is his fake name. His real name is Jack Sparrow, a legendary pirate who roams the Endless Sea."

"Jack Sparrow?" Deserok was extremely angry. His days in Hades were a shame for him. Lich King: "This is a cunning guy. He came to Northrend under the alias of Gangplank and joined forces with the Drakkari trolls to save thousands of humans. Moreover, he also killed tens of thousands of my undead with the help of the troll town. If we don't get rid of Jack, I'm afraid the Legion's plan will be difficult to complete."

Balnazzar asked, "What are you going to do with Jack?"

"Drive Naxxramas to Lordaeron and kill him with absolute strength."

Varimathras frowned. "Naxxramas is indeed a powerful aerial fortress, but it also requires a powerful lich to control it. None of the liches under your command can control Naxxramas."

Lich King: "You may be disappointed. I can also control Naxxramas."

"You?" The three dreadlords looked at the Lich King in surprise, "You want to go to Lordaeron in person?"

Lich King: "That's right. Only I can defeat Jack Sparrow in person."

Varimathras glanced at the other two. "How are you going to get there? Shall we move you to the upper reaches of Naxxramas?"

Lich King: "No, Arthas is here."

The three dreadlords did not understand what the Lich King meant, but they saw that the Lich King extended his consciousness into Frostmourne.

Frostmourne suddenly lit up, it was the glimmer of the soul. A soul flew out from the sword and entered Arthas' body. It was a part of the soul that was harvested after Arthas took up Frostmourne.

Arthas stood up and walked woodenly to the Lich King's throne. He suddenly raised Frostmourne and shattered the ice that bound the Lich King.

The Helmet of Domination slid to the feet of the dreadlords. The three dreadlords looked at each other in surprise. They had never expected that the Lich King would want to take the opportunity to escape.

However, they did not stop the Lich King, as they had no other way to defeat Jack except to open Naxxramas to Lordaeron.

The power of Titan Strike was so great that if Jack hadn't put it away, they wouldn't even dare to appear on the battlefield.

Arthas put on the Lich King's armor, walked to the dreadlords, picked up the Helm of Domination and put it on his head.

A sharp light flashed in Arthas' eyes, "Now, we are one!"

The dreadlords had a bad feeling, so they took a step back and tried to stay as far away from the Lich King as possible. The Lich King had just killed Mal'Ganis, so they had to be on guard against him.

The Lich King saw this scene and smiled without saying anything. He closed his eyes and absorbed as much of Arthas' memory as possible. In order to exert his full strength, the Lich King must inherit Arthas's combat ability, otherwise, he would only be a lich in armor!
After a long time, he finally digested Arthas's memories.

Opening his eyes, the Lich King stepped down from the Frozen Throne and summoned his undead army.

"Now, it's my turn!"

The undead army quickly entered Naxxramas, and soon Naxxramas took off and flew towards Lordaeron.

"Lordaeron, your king is back!"
