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

This time, the selection of warriors is open to all, regardless of wealth, status, background, or faction. Anyone with great strength and the determination to wield the sword against the Lich King can join this trial.

Only those who can pass the tournament selection can become the final champion.

You can then join the two legendary paladins, Tirion Fordring and Uther, in launching a surprise attack on Icecrown Citadel to completely destroy the Lich King.

Upon returning to the Allied camp, Rhodes heard the news, and with the help of certain individuals, the news of Rhodes's victory over Yogg-Saron began to spread rapidly throughout the camp in just a few days.

The news that the great demigod had personally led his elite forces in a surprise attack on the Titan city of Ulduar and destroyed the Old Gods spread throughout the camp and rapidly expanded outwards.

"The great demigod Lord Rhodes, he defeated the ancient god Yogg-Saron! He destroyed the evil Titan guardian Loken!" A newborn mage was recounting Rhodes' heroic deeds to the crowd in the tavern.

"Those corrupted Titan guardians were no match for the demigods; they were quickly defeated by them."

"The demigod unleashed powerful elemental magic! Boom! Boom! With the explosion of the elemental magic, the evil Old God was blasted to pieces, reduced to dust." A female blood elf bard was playing her harp in the tavern, vividly describing Rhodes' great deeds to the adventurers.

Behind the scenes, the people who helped Rhodes quickly gain fame were Sylvanas, Kael'thas, and others.

"Homage to the great demigod!" A dwarf raised his beer and shouted at Rhodes.

Rhodes smiled and nodded, giving a thumbs-up to the dwarf who was toasting him. His reputation had been soaring lately!

The credit for the attack on Ulduar went entirely to him.

"Great demigod, we are about to launch an attack on Icecrown Citadel. Will you join us?" A human adventurer stood up and asked excitedly.

"Great God, will you lead us in an attack on Icecrown Citadel?"

"Hahaha! I will, so you all need to work hard. I will only lead the most elite troops to Icecrown Citadel to face the Lich King Arthas head-on," Rhodes said with a smile.

Upon hearing Rhodes's reply, the allied soldiers erupted in cheers.

Clap clap clap!

Immediately, enthusiastic applause rang out.

"Did you hear that, guys? The great god will also join the fight against the Lich King."

"Together with two legendary paladins, we led the attack on Icecrown Citadel."

"Make that idiot Arthas pay the price."

"Destroy this idiot! Destroy the Lich King! Destroy the Scourge!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Go for it, warriors and adventurers! You must all strive, for some of you will join me in this epic war."

"But it doesn't matter if the others weren't chosen. Don't be discouraged. You still need to hold back the Lich King's main army on this land and buy us a chance." Just then, a paladin wearing golden highlord armor and wielding a greatsword inlaid with holy light crystals came before the adventurers and waved his hand, saying this.

The newcomer was none other than Tirion Fordring, and the enormous battleblade in his hand, seemingly burning with holy light, belonged to the renowned Ashbringer.

After receiving congratulations from the Lianjun, Tirion Fordring led Rhodes into his tent.

"My demigod, I thought you wouldn't be involved in this operation," Tirion Fordring said.

After all, the demigod had just launched a surprise attack on Ulduar, defeating the ancient evil gods and a host of Titan guardians.

Tirion Fordring felt that the demigods should be allowed to rest for a while rather than immediately joining them in the attack on Icecrown Citadel.

"I originally intended to leave the Lich King's affairs to mortals, but I changed my mind in the end. After all, the Lich King is a demigod-level being in this world. His combat power is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Titan Guardian," Rhodes said.

Was the attack on Icecrown Citadel by the Lich King merely a spur-of-the-moment decision? Of course not. It was planned after the Allied Forces learned of their intention to select elite troops to attack Icecrown Citadel.

Hela quickly came up with a plan in her mind and told Rhodes about it.

This is why Rhodes has been wandering around the Allied Forces' camp these past few days, telling all the adventurers about his plan to attack Icecrown Citadel.

After all, if the coalition's plan succeeds, who will ultimately wear the Lich King's crown of dominion?

Would Rhodes recommend Helya, who is relatively unknown, or Uther, who has two legendary paladins, or even Uther, who has already died once?

Therefore, the safest approach is to participate in the attack on Icecrown Citadel and help Hela seize the Lich King's power.

As for the warriors who had followed him in the raid on Icecrown Citadel, Rhodes decided to take pity on them and save them. After all, according to the original storyline...

Tirion Fordring, the leader of the Icecrown Citadel gold farming group, summoned dozens of wildlings at the summoning stone.

Then, leading dozens of cannon fodder, they stormed Icecrown Citadel. Tirion Fordring, as the commander, ultimately chose to slack off, and was frozen by the Lich King as soon as he appeared.

He watched helplessly as a large group of his guild members who had attacked Icecrown Citadel with him were slaughtered by the Lich King Arthas.

Then a certain old guild leader stole the kills, hacked the Invincible Warhorse, hacked the Crown of Domination, hacked Frostmourne, and hacked all the gold coins.

Then all team members were kicked out of the raid instance.

Ahem! Of course, that's a joke.

The truth is, all the elite warriors selected through the Argent Tournament perished at Icecrown Citadel, with only Tirion Fordring surviving. (The player, as the winner of the Argent Tournament, ultimately dies at Icecrown Citadel in the war against the Lich King.)

So if Rhodes doesn't participate in this war, then all these warriors of Azeroth will die in vain.

As for your question about their memories, well, they have a Memory Fruit user in their possession, and their Rinne Sharingan is the Mangekyou Sharingan, so they can easily modify memories.

"If you'd like to lead the team, that would be wonderful. Uther and I are more than willing to relinquish our command positions and let you, demigod, take command of this operation," Tirion Fordring said.

"Hahaha! Then I'll accept without hesitation. Actually, this time, destroying the Lich King is only secondary. I need to ensure that the Crown of Domination is handed over to a useful person," Rhodes said.

"My lord, it is said that this is the core of the Scourge. It was with this helmet that the Lich King Arthas was able to rule the evil Scourge and command all undead creatures," Tirion Fordring asked.

He and Uther had originally agreed that the extremely evil Lich King helmet and its accessory, the Twin Sorrows, would be destroyed to ensure that Azeroth would never have another Lich King.

But judging from the demigod's words, it seems he has other plans for the Lich King's Crown of Domination.

"That's right, there are some things you don't know. Do you know the origin of this helmet? Who made it?" Rhodes sat in his chair looking at Tirion, and Fordring asked.

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, the first Lich King was created by the Burning Legion, and the mastermind behind it was Kil'jaeden."

"He created the Lich King, he created Arthas, that evil monster," Tirion Fordring said.

This matter is known throughout Lordaeron. Back then, it was the dreadlord of the Burning Legion who tempted the prince, tricked him into coming to the northern continent of Northrend, and then gradually led the prince down the path of corruption, ultimately causing the tragedy.

"No, no! Ner'zhul was indeed killed by Kil'jaeden, who also sent him to Azeroth to carry out the Legion's arrival mission."

But it was not Kil'jaeden who made him the Lich King, but some dreadlords. This weapon of dominion actually came from another place, from the world of the dead.

I think Uther must have told you about this, right? It's about the Shadowlands. Actually, the Lich King's power comes from the Shadowlands.

He was forged by a warden named Zoval using a power called Domination, and he is one of the Eternals of the Shadowlands.

"The Lich King's helmet is of utmost importance. If the Crown of Domination is destroyed, it will have very serious consequences!" Rhodes said.

"Since such a thing is true, then, my demigod, what terrible things would happen if the Lich King's Crown of Domination were destroyed?" Tirion Fordring nodded and asked.

He had heard about the Shadowlands, after all, Rhodes had summoned back several souls from the Shadowlands, especially Uther.

He learned from Bastion of Ascension in the Shadowlands that the Lich King's power actually came from the Shadowlands. If what the demigod said was true, then the Lich King's power was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"This warden named Zolvar attempted to break the balance between life and death. The Lich King was an important pawn in his game. The Icecrown Citadel that Arthas painstakingly built was actually an architectural style of the Shadowlands."

"And this Icecrown Citadel is the closest point connecting the world of the living and the world of the dead. If the Gate of the Ruler is destroyed, it will shatter the balance between life and death, completely connecting the world of the living and the world of the dead," Rhodes said.

Rhodes told Tirion Fordring about Warden Zoval's plans, as well as some information about the Shadowlands, the Maw, and the power of domination.

"I see. Then there must be a new Lich King. Someone must take on this responsibility," Tirion Fordring nodded and said.

"You're right, we do need a Lich King, and this Lich King must have a strong will to withstand the mental power of Warden Zovall," Rhodes said.

Tirion Fordring nodded solemnly, then stood up, took a deep breath, bowed to Rhodes, placed a fist on his chest, and said very seriously.

"I understand, Demigod. I know why you told me all this today. I will definitely complete the mission. I will take on this heavy responsibility."

The demigod chose to tell me everything at this time, surely because he wanted me to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Uther is more suited than himself to lead the Knights of the Silver Hand and then help the princess rebuild the Wheel of Fallen.

He himself would remain here to bear the burden of the Lich King.

"Cough cough cough! Tirion's Scripture. Your will is as firm as steel. Your faith in the Holy Light is also extremely thorough, but the person I'm talking about is not you."

Please, brother, what do you understand? When did I ever say I was going to let you take on this important responsibility?

No need, thank you!

"My Lord Demigod, could it be that you have decided to take on this heavy responsibility yourself! To assume the responsibilities of the Lich King?" Tirion Fordring asked in alarm.

"Ahem! So could you wait until I've finished speaking, Fording!"

I know a powerful god, a demigod who controls the power of death. She will personally remain on this Icecrown Citadel to guard the Lich King's power, and even without the Crown of Domination, she can suppress the power of Jailer Zoval.

"Stop Warden Zovall's evil plan to overthrow the world of the living and the dead," Rhodes said.

The Lich King's Crown of the Ruler can only be affected by Jailer Zovaar after the wearer has worn it.

Hela's plan is not to wear the helmet, but simply to absorb the power of death and domination within it.

"So that's how it is. There's a demigod who controls death! Lord Rhodes, forgive my intrusion, but is this demigod with the attribute of death trustworthy?" Tirion Fordring asked.

The Lich King brought unimaginable disaster to the Alliance and the Horde, especially the people of Lordaeron. If a demigod were to take control of the Lich King's power, he might become even more powerful than Arthas. If he were to commit evil, who could stop him?

"Hahaha! You can rest assured about that. This demigod who controls death and such is absolutely trustworthy. Not long ago, she even attacked Ulduar with me and together we killed the Old God Yogg-Saron," Rhodes said.

"Then I'm relieved, demigod!" Tirion Fordring nodded and said.

Since the great demigod chose to believe the other, he was also willing to choose to believe.

"So when we attack Icecrown Citadel, the warriors you choose only need to deal with the grunts. Leave the other powerful beings to me," Rhodes said.

I'm the raid leader for the Icecrown Citadel raid. This time, you guys can just relax and coast along while spending money.

Watch me solo Icecrown Citadel, but I absolutely have to disable Invincibility; disabling Invincibility is a basic tactic for raid leaders. (End of Chapter)
