Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 260 Death of Uther

"Damn it! He actually got away!"

Deserok was filled with resentment and said to the Lich King aggressively: "Why don't you chase after him?"

The Lich King said calmly, "Our target is Lordaeron. The Menethil family has returned to that city and given hope to mankind again. We must extinguish this hope as soon as possible and then proceed with our plan again."

Balnazzar dissuaded Deserok, "Lord Archimonde is still waiting for us."

Deserok said nothing at this point.

The Lich King pretended nothing had happened and continued to lead Naxxramas to Lordaeron.

At this time, Lordaeron had already received news of Agatha.

Uther found Rude and said, "Take Princess Calia and go first. If we can defend Lordaeron, you can come back."

Rude asked, "Lord Uther, the captain will not deceive you with intelligence. You should come with us! As long as people are still alive, we will be able to rebuild Lordaeron sooner or later."

Uther shook his head and said, "I believe Captain Jack's intelligence is accurate, but we cannot give up Lordaeron. Otherwise, everything we have done before will become meaningless."

Rude wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Uther. "I know the importance of preserving strength, so I will send Thornby out and let him take enough wealth to be used for rebuilding Lordaeron in the future."

"And it is time for us nobles to dedicate our lives for Lordaeron."

The Kingdom of Lordaeron was established thousands of years ago and is already an old kingdom. Most of the nobles in various places have become corrupt, either fighting for power or harming the people. Perhaps this opportunity can be used to clean up these corrupt nobles, and after Lordaeron is rebuilt, it may be able to radiate new vitality.

Rudd could not convince Uther, so he had to take Princess Calia and leave Lordaeron in the dark and hide in the refuge of Alterac Mountains.

Before that, Uther found an excuse to send Thornby's refugee soldiers out and brought out a large amount of finances.

After doing all this, Uther summoned the nobles, incorporated them all into the army, and began to defend the city.

The nobles were very dissatisfied. They did not want to go to the battlefield and face a group of dead enemies. But they dared not disobey Uther's words. So, they could only plan how to escape in secret.

However, when Naxxramas flew over Lordaeron, the nobles were in despair. Facing such an aerial fortress, where could they escape to?
In this desperate situation, the nobles gave up the illusion of escape. Some gave up resistance, while others were aroused to blood.

The liches used magic circles to teleport groups of undead into the city. The Lich King led a large number of liches and death knights to launch a surprise attack on the defenders.

The three dreadlords also took the opportunity to join the battle, and they headed straight for the treasury of Lordaeron's palace. Although Jack and Uther had emptied a lot of it, there were still a lot of magic materials left.

After occupying the treasury, the three dreadlords carved a magic circle on the ground, opened a portal, and summoned teams of demons.

The addition of demons tilted the balance of war towards the Undead Scourge.

The Lordaeron soldiers still had some strength to deal with the undead soldiers, but facing the powerful demons, the Lordaeron soldiers had no power to fight back.

Only the powerful Silver Hand could kill the demon soldiers. Even so, the Silver Hand's paladins suffered heavy casualties.

Faced with such a powerful and sudden attack from the enemy, Uther ordered the city gates to be opened and the people in the city to be let out. Lordaeron could no longer be defended, and at this time, whoever could escape was the best.

Without Uther's restraint, the nobles once again raised their hopes for survival. Some people fled directly among the refugees, while others hid in the sewers to hide from the enemy. Some nobles quickly came to Uther and followed him to fight the enemy. Only when the water in the swimming pool dries up can we know who is swimming naked. In times of crisis, we can know who is loyal to Lordaeron.

Uther didn't want these loyal elites to die here, so he immediately called Gavinrad Doom and asked him to lead these people to fight out of Lordaeron and contact the armies in various places. In fact, he just wanted these people to leave in order to preserve the strength of Lordaeron.

Gavinrad Doom didn't want to leave, but he knew Uther very well, so he took his Silver Hand Knights and these future elites of Lordaeron, fought his way out of Lordaeron, and headed towards Dalaran for help.

Among all the kingdoms, only Dalaran is the strongest. Only when these mages join the battle can Lordaeron turn defeat into victory.

Uther discovered that the undead and demons were constantly attacking the palace, and he immediately realized that there was something they cared about inside the palace.

So he summoned the Silver Hand and quickly launched a surprise attack in the direction of the palace.

Only after fighting his way to the gate of the palace did Uther see clearly what was happening inside.

The tall figure of Arthas was standing in front of Terenas's shrine, commemorating his father.

Uther roared angrily, "Arthas, how dare you appear before the king? You who killed your father, how dare you confess again?"

Arthas turned around and looked at Uther with disdain, "Lightbringer, who said I was commemorating Terenas?"

As he spoke, Arthas grabbed the urn on the shrine and poured out the ashes inside.

"I'm here to take it."

Uther's rage burst out, and holy light enveloped his body, turning him into a man of light.

He killed the undead that blocked his way and strode towards Arthas.

"How dare you insult the king's body, Arthas? Don't you have any humanity left in your heart?"

The holy hammer was swung up and smashed hard at Arthas.

Arthas took a step back, raised Frostmourne, and blocked Uther's hammer. He looked at Uther sarcastically, "Lightbringer, Arthas has been killed in Alterac. And I am the Lich King!"

"what?"

Uther was stunned. He had not expected that the soul in Arthas' body was not his. In this case, Arthas could not be blamed for stealing Terenas's urn.

Thinking of this, Uther felt relieved. His anger subsided, and the Holy Light was no longer so bright.

At this moment, the Lich King kicked Uther away, and Frostmourne suddenly pierced his chest.

"Lightbringer, you are so gullible! But your body is really strong! Just become my Death Knight and help me retake Lordaeron!"

Uther felt a surge of energy eroding his body, and his face suddenly changed. He used the last of his strength to ignite the holy light on his body. The holy light formed a shock wave that directly bounced the Lich King away.

Endless holy light shot up into the sky, illuminating the gloomy sky.
