Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

After recognizing what the newborns looked like, Thrall, the Warchief of the Horde, began to have some ideas.

"Great Chieftain, we have already witnessed it; the immortality of these newborns is indeed formidable!"

It was very strange; the warriors' axes could shatter their bodies, but they could quickly regenerate.

"If you add rage or the elemental power of a shaman, you can slow down their recovery process," said High Overlord Saurfang.

"It's truly peculiar, completely different from the undead we've encountered before, but it's a pity we can't resurrect our tribe's heroes," Thrall said with some regret.

Thrall actually wanted Rhodes' help to resurrect his parents, and even the great hero of the Horde, Grommash Hellscream.

However, Rhodes rejected the proposal, saying that for this new type of resurrection spell to work, the soul must exist in the human world.

Therefore, some spirits can be resurrected in this way, but some people who have died completely, or even those who have been dead for several years, cannot be resurrected through this magic.

“Hmph! I think this demigod Rhodes wasn’t telling us the truth,” Garrosh Hellscream said.

The tribe should be primarily composed of orcs, but this so-called demigod subtly surpasses the chieftain.

Even the newcomers, the blood elves, and the pirates from other worlds no longer take the orcs seriously.

This was something he couldn't tolerate. No one could underestimate the tribe. Sooner or later, he would show this wilderness demigod the power of the tribe.

“Hmm! That possibility can’t be ruled out! Rhodes could indeed be deceiving us,” Thrall said.

As the demigod's power increased, Thrall clearly sensed that Rhodes and the Horde were beginning to drift further apart.

Chapter 286 Kel'Thuzad Arrives, Meets the Great Demigod

At the beginning, the two sides got along quite well and even cooperated in some ways. Rhodes even funded the construction of a floating city in cooperation with the tribe.

But ever since this demigod grew stronger, everything began to change. No new floating cities were built anymore, and the trade of food and weapons with the tribes continued, but it didn't expand much.

Even the blood elves, who were originally protected by the Horde, gradually joined the ranks of the demigod Kael'thas after his prince returned, and even became less concerned about the affairs of the Horde.

The Forgotten Ones under his command, now the Newborn Ones, and the pirate forces are the same; the tribe had received no prior information about this resurrection event.

Warchief Thrall even naively believed that Rhodes would write to at least explain the matter and tell him the whole story of the resurrection spell.

But in the end, the great demigod Rhodes offered no explanation whatsoever, and didn't even bother to tell them anything about it.

Left with no other option, Thrall sent a messenger to inquire.

Only then did the demigod Rhodes respond, explaining the effects and drawbacks of the resurrection spell.

“We shouldn’t have taken such scum into our tribe. Our tribe is incredibly powerful and doesn’t need such opportunists!” said Garrosh, a tall orc with brown skin.

"Watch your words, Garrosh. Lord Rhodes is, after all, a member of the Horde, and the other party is a Wildlands demigod. We should at least give him some respect."

I've already decided that I'll wait until I've finished dealing with some things in Orgrimmar and settled things with the Mag'har orcs.

"I'll head to You're Dark City to meet with Rhodes, the demigod; Sylvanas, the Queen of the Newborn; and Kael'thas, the prince of the Blood Elves," Thrall said.

There was indeed a crisis of trust between the two sides, and Thrall felt it was very necessary to go to Undercity to have a detailed talk with the other party and see what the demigod's attitude was.

At the same time, the Blood Elf Prince has returned, and as the Warchief of the Horde, he should go and receive him.

The one who joined the tribe at that time was the regent Lor'themar, but since the prince returned, he has shown great respect for the demigod.

But their attitude towards their tribe was extremely cold; they had never even written a letter to him, the chief.

"Great Chief! You are the leader of the tribe. If there is anything needed, it should be the next order."

Then there's that so-called demigod, the queen of the newborns, the prince of the blood elves, and the leader of some pirates.

"The four of them came to Orgrimmar to see you, instead of you going to see them!" Garrosh roared.

"Shut up! Garrosh, you don't know the power of the half-Rhodes. Back then, he came to Orgrimmar alone, and the pirate leader Kaido was just one person, yet he basically defeated all the high-ranking warriors in Orgrimmar!" High Overlord Saurfang roared.

After joining the tribe, the other party provided the tribe with many things: a floating fortress, weapons produced by pirates from another world, and ship support provided by the pirates, all of which solved some of the tribe's problems.

The current issue is merely a few unsuccessful exchanges at the higher levels; there's no need to escalate things further.

It's worth noting that several pirate ambassadors, blood elf ambassadors, and newborn ambassadors are stationed in Orgrimmar, and there are exchanges between the two sides.

After some discussion, Orgrimmar decided that Warchief Thrall would personally travel to Undercity to pay a visit to Rhodes and, incidentally, to visit several other important leaders of the Horde.

A few days later, the two colossal Cataclysms floated in the air and, after a long flight, finally arrived above Tirisfal Glades.

The Black Knights were spotted as soon as they appeared, along with some believers of the Holy Light, the Silver Dawn, and the Scarlet Crusade.

However, the Holy Light forces are generally based in the Eastern and Western Plaguelands, so they have no intention of getting involved in this mess.

"Lord Kel'Thuzad, convey the Lich King's orders to us!" said Darion Mograine, Highlord of the Knights of the Ebon Blade.

This is a tall death knight with a dark green battle blade on his back, the tip of which is adorned with a green skull orb. He is none other than the infamous Fallen Ashbringer.

The young paladin sacrificed himself to save his father's soul, but he himself became a minion of the Scourge, was resurrected and transformed into a death knight, took over the corrupted Ashbringer, and became a minion of the Lich King.

"Don't rush, Highlord Darian."

"Our primary task now is to gather intelligence!" Kel'Thuzad said.

He was a very special lich who had been the Lich King's right-hand man before Arthas joined him.

Even after Arthas joined him, his status was second only to the Death Knight, thus he possessed free wisdom.

"Everything for the Lich King, what should we do? Lord Kel'Thuzad, what is your plan?" Darion Mograine nodded and asked.

The consciousness of these Black Knights was completely controlled by the Lich King.

“Leave this to me. You and all your knights stay in the fortress, as do my Naxxramas fortress,” Kel'Thuzad said.

Just kidding, this time I'm planning to run away.

However, to make the performance convincing, the Lich King's eyes could perceive the thoughts of some low-level undead nearby through the power of the Crown of Domination, so he had to act quickly.

Fortunately, this time the Lich King was left on the Frozen Throne and not allowed to come in person, otherwise my plan would not have been able to be implemented.

Under Kel'Thuzad's arrangement, two Scourge-controlled floating structures were suspended in Tirisfal Glades.

The great lich himself, along with a large group of death knights and his own ice dragons, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, landed on the ground.

By creating such a huge commotion and adopting a posture of direct attack, it should attract the attention of some demigod, right?

In the darkness, Rhodes stood atop the city wall. That Lich King, how dare he send people to his territory!

The larger of the two floating cities should be Naxxramas, and the smaller one is Acherus Keep.

Kel'Thuzad and Darion Mograine?

Rhodes had indeed anticipated that the Scourge would try to use his resurrection spell, and he had taken some countermeasures.

To be honest, even if the undead in the Impure World Reincarnation body are captured, it won't have much of an impact, because the Scourge can't possibly research anything, and Rhodes can even descend through the will of the Impure World Reincarnation body.

At that time, he alone could sweep through the Scourge.

However, eliminating Arthas was the wish of his blood elves and the newborn, so Rhodes decided to hold back and let his subordinates handle the matter.

"Demigod! Do you want me to take action myself? How about I help you destroy these guys?" Gul'dan, holding a staff, approached Rhodes and said with a wicked smile.

Following this person is far better than following Kil'jaeden. The other party generously bestows upon him immense power, even completely resurrecting him and granting him a power called chakra. What Gul'dan has to give in return is very simple: loyalty!

This is no problem for the old orc. As long as you are stronger than me, I will follow you!

"Kel'Thuzad's condition is a bit off. Based on my understanding of this great lich, he is not such an irrational person. He should know the power of the demigods of Rhodes."

"And he dared to come to the Undercity region with just two floating fortresses, he must have some unspeakable secret," Ronin said.

To put it bluntly, even without the demigod's intervention, his men could easily wipe out this vanguard of the Scourge!

Many of them are even capable of destroying the Lich King.

"Oh my god! How about I chop him down with my sword?" Charlotte Linlin said.

Charlotte Linlin's strength has increased again. After eating the Vampire Fruit, she gained control of the world's wrath, which greatly enhanced her power.

“This Kel'Thuzad is quite a talent! I’ll go check him out myself.” After saying that, Rhodes activated his spatial abilities and left.

Kel'Thuzad's intentions are too obvious. He came over in such a grand manner; he really wants to have a chat with me!

A circular spark appeared around Kel'Thuzad and the others, and Rhodes' body emerged from it.

The death knights around Kel'Thuzad immediately drew their runeblades and looked at the demigod with wary expressions.

Rhodes let out a cold laugh. The Soul-Soul Fruit's power, combined with Conqueror's Haki, instantly terrified these undead creatures, even temporarily freeing them from the Crown of Domination's control.

"I...I'm speechless! How could I serve the Lich King? How could I serve the very enemy I've fought my whole life?" Darion Mograine, regaining his senses, immediately threw the corrupted Ashbringer to the ground and said in disbelief.

Other death knights weren't much better off; most of them were elite warriors of their respective races in life, and were transformed into death knights after death.

"Truly amazing! Demigod, you really can temporarily block the effects of the Crown of Domination."

"Enough with the nonsense, what do you want here? Did you bring them here to their deaths?"

"No, no, no, great demigod, how could I dare to offend you?"

"I'm just... I'm just very interested in the new resurrection spells, and I have a fanatical obsession and pursuit of immortality," Kel'Thuzad said with a smile.

"Oh!" Rhodes smiled and looked at Kel'Thuzad.

There's something hidden in what that old man said!

Chapter 287 Cthulhu's Intelligence, Warden Zova

In World of Warcraft, Kel'Thuzad was the Lich King's most steadfast supporter and Arthas's number one lackey.

Kel'Thuzad was once a member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, holding an unparalleled position in Dalaran, second only to Antonidas.

After the Second War, Kel'Thuzad wanted to study the first Death Knights created by the orc warlocks, as well as their mysterious necromancy.

However, the Kirin Tor Council and Dalaran only provided some mice and animals as test subjects, which displeased Kel'Thuzad, leading him to hear the Lich King's call in Northrend and travel to the continent.

Around eighteen years after the Dark Portal, Kel'Thuzad came into contact with the Lich King and returned to the Eastern Kingdoms to establish the Cult of the Damned.

He established the Cult of the Damned, leading his followers to worship the Lich King and believe they could live forever as undead. But in the end, it was all a deception. All the undead were controlled by the power of the Crown of the Lord, and were nothing more than walking corpses and puppets.

Even the Burning Legion's second invasion of Azeroth. Without Kel'Thuzad's meddling, whether the invasion would have succeeded is another matter entirely.

This old man was indeed a talent. It's just that in World of Warcraft, he was killed off by the storyline in the 60s, and then resurrected in the early 80s, where he became a raid boss and gave away equipment to the vast number of players in Jiaonan who were trying to get gold.

"Great demigod! Do you know what I'm after?"

My lifelong pursuit has been immortality, so I can research all sorts of magic and strive for the ultimate knowledge. Let me show you what I look like now.
