Chapter 22: Join forces across the sea to attack the Witch King

(ps: Thanks to the two "I Enjoy the Novels" and "Where the Yin and Yang" for giving rewards, which finally made the fan list have people. By the way, how can I get those two fan values? The author Jun is eager to try it. I wonder if this method can trick you everywhere, claim to be FANS, and bring the feelings of those great gods closer?)

—————————————————————————————

After being hit by Arthas, Rorschach lay down on the hospital bed and woke up again, two days and three nights later.

It wasn't that the prince, who died and cooked the dog, and then attacked the town of Henim. On the contrary, after Rorschach took out the identity letter obtained from this mission world to prove that his distant uncle who taught his sword skills and educated him to grow up was a veteran of Lordaeron who had participated in the Second War, the crown prince, who had a serious racist tendency, immediately changed his attitude. The thunder method, which was originally half-tested and half-healed, became a desperate effort to use holy light to penetrate the body and penetrate the bones, and cure all the old wounds left by Rorschach in his early years.

After all, it is Rorschach's own reasons.

You should know that although the ability used by the "spiritual man" from the world of "Psychic King" is only to communicate with the underworld and wander in life and death, there is no distinction between good and evil, in the original work, even Joan of Arc, who was promoted by the Christian Church as a "saint" attribute, can manipulate the holy light of the living dead, appeared as the "god-level spirit" of the psychic.

But this power to manipulate the deceased is always more Yin Ming. However, Luo Xia has also practiced the undead art of the Scourge Legion, which is invisibly contaminated with the evil spirits originating from the Lich King. This evil force will usually add a bit of the power of the magic, and there is no harm. However, when it is completely pure, the holy light cover body immediately triggers a backlash that even Luo Xia himself cannot control. Fortunately, his foundation is still in spiritual art. The undead spells are only a brief taste, and the evil power is extremely weak, which makes Arthas subconsciously think that it is a curse placed by the enemy. After using the holy light to eliminate it, he no longer pays attention to this point.

However, this lesson also made Luo Xia alert. He had just practiced the undead technique a few times and was inevitably infected with the breath of the Scourge Legion. If he became more and more profound and practiced to a profound level, he would be afraid that he would be evil and would be regarded as an evil villain at a glance. This would be fine. After all, he is not a middle-aged boy who has "Justice Spring". Naturally, he would not give up his power for the sake of his ideological cleanliness.

What really made him decide was another thing. But the knowledge in his mind vaguely mentioned that even though this death spell was ever-changing against other professions, when it came to the competition between the practitioners of necromancers, it became a pure confrontation between quality and quantity, and all mysterious techniques were meaningless. The most important thing was that the undead technique he obtained had to absorb a trace of the power of natural disasters from the beginning to be extended. In other words, no matter how brave and vigorous this spell progressed, it would probably not be able to escape this barrier. Not to mention the Lich King, the source of evil power, even if he met a slightly higher natural disaster general, wouldn’t he be illusory and could only surrender?

"No wonder in Azeroth's plot, even the warlocks who use the demonic power of the Burning Legion participated in the fight against the Scourge, but never saw any popular professions like the Necromancer in other games. I thought it was the discrimination that was circulated among the masses, but I didn't expect that the undead art in this plane would have such disadvantages... Looking at the entire history of the Warcraft, the backbone of the Lich Kings relied on, the Death Knights, whom they rely on, had fled in large numbers, but had never heard of the defection of the Lich and the Undead Mage. The wheel is afraid of death and cunning. These intellectuals are definitely more than the stubborn knight class. Now I think about it, it's not the loyalty of the Luo Shizi, but it's just that they are controlled by others and cannot be independent of life and death!"

Thinking of this, Rorschach had decided that at least before leaving this plane, he would not deliberately use this seemingly convenient power. As for after leaving... by then, his stage had become a brilliant sea of ​​stars built by infinite planes, including more evil and terrifying demon villains than the mere Lich King. Not to mention whether he would use this undead spell that he now thinks is easy to use as a treasure. Even if he learns it, how could he be concerned about an indigenous boss who is destined to be turned over in the local plane? Could it be that the Lich King Neozu can still capture him across planes and dig coal?

"Speaking of this, although there is no way to compare, the gains of this mission world adventure are quite satisfactory. The reward for killing the Spider Demon all the way last night was more than 1,000 survival points, adding up to other messy accounts. I already have more than 3,400 survival points, which has exceeded the total rewards for the final mission. Including the income of various treasures, the expansion and improvement of my own abilities, from the diary left by Bai Wu, even if I don't rely on the Corpse Girl, I can easily kill him, a "senior". Is he too useless or am I too powerful?"

Rorschach instinctively ignored the fact that the unlucky guy he was lucky enough to kill was a summoner who relied on his servants to fight. After a quadruple asymmetry, he couldn't help but feel happy. What's more, the main task arranged by the Book of Reincarnation has reached this point and has actually come to an end.

It was only then that Roxa really felt relaxed. He slacked off his body and mind, and snuggled on the bed and ate the fruits and vegetables handed over by the beauty. He also had a vague idea of ​​spending the remaining time: "I don't participate in the remaining final task of 'escorting Arthas to the Cave of Frost'. After all, compared to the prince who longs for revenge, the real owner of the magic sword - the Lich King, is definitely much more anxious than him. Even if there were any monsters to stop him along the way, he would have been slaughtered by this guy longing to have them. Next, just stay in the camp with peace of mind, protecting the army to survive the next seven days, and try to master the power of mutants by the way. Cleaning up the free will be a reward for the undead team..."

Unfortunately, at this moment, the historical process that he had accidentally disrupted finally began to deviate. With the subtle changes of the tributaries, the backlash from the plot itself... descended.

A sudden news made Roxa almost fall from the bed in shock.

"Ho ho...you say...ah...ah cough." The flesh that was swallowed halfway stuck in his throat. Roxa's face turned red, but in his heart he couldn't breathe in the words of the young soldier in front of him, and could only lie on the bed in a mess and retching to the ground desperately.

"Is there anything strange? Isn't this a great thing? The prince finally decided not to continue north." Sasarien, who had inexplicably responded to Rorsch's fierce reaction, touched his head, and then let out a silly giggle, and continued to say in a silly manner: "Now, although I didn't catch the mastermind, I can finally leave this ghost place. When the war is over, I will go back to my hometown to visit my sister Tanasha. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a long time. When I go back, I have to introduce her to you..."

Very... a ghost!

Didn't notice the death flag raised by a sister-in-law soldier unintentionally. Roxa was shocked by this information, his mind was confused, and only a thought echoed in his heart.

Lordaeron's crown prince... Arthas... The second Lich King who was destined to lift the sadness of frost in the Warcraft plot, the generation of death monarchs who immersed Azeroth in history, actually chose to retreat a moment before he fell in pursuit.

So what should I do with the Death Demon Sword "Sadness of Frost", what should I do with the conspiracy of the Lich King Neozu, the most important thing is... what should I do with the mission of "Sword Escort"?

"Wait, things may not be as bad as I thought." Roxa took a deep breath, barely calmed down, looked at Sasarien with a happy face and said in a deep voice:

"Where is Your Highness the Prince? I want to meet him."

This reasonable request was naturally allowed soon. The second meeting was in the central tent of the army. When the prince faced his questions, he did not scold him for being rude, but was silent for a moment and gave an explanation.

"Since my current strength alone cannot defeat the demon and the mysterious master behind it, why should I die with one in ten thousand luck?"

"But..." Rosha was speechless, but a strange thought appeared in his heart.

But in history, you don’t know the huge gap between the enemy and us, but you still stubbornly couldn’t even pull the ten cows back to the north, why did you come here... but you just admit defeat? Wait... How did he know the strength of the Lich King at that time?

Roxa was suddenly shocked and stunned on the spot.

...So that's it. In the plot, Alsace, who led the Northern Expedition, actually didn't know how strong the enemy was. Thinking about it now, from the beginning, the enemies he encountered were deliberately displayed in front of him...

At the beginning, the undead in the eastern kingdom was actually a team made up by Kel Thuzad who used a plague to infect farmers and poor people. Although there were many, most of them were low-level soldiers such as zombies and skeletons. They had neither commanded by necromancers nor hated them. The cooperation of a series of advanced troops of the Death Knights, when they could not form a complete sequence of undeads, when they encountered a mage, the human army standardized by knights was basically destroyed. Therefore, at that time, the human kingdom did not pay much attention to this disaster, and the only troubles were the casualties of civilians and the widely circulated plague. They scoffed at the combat power of these dead people. This... was also the confidence that Arthas dared to lead an army and cross the ocean to chase the terrifying demon king.

Even the undead he encountered along Northrend were carefully measured by the Lich King. Although it was slightly stronger than Lordaeron's time, it was not too outrageous and could always allow him to barely support it. This deliberately designed "hard victory" always makes people feel strong hope, and the belief collapsed more thoroughly after a defeat.

But the Lich King's complete plan is now broken.

With the survival of the Aydul's remnants who should have died silently in the pit three days ago, they successfully communicated and shared information with the prince. Although the insects who had been isolated from the world for a long time did not know the exact strength of the Lich King, the tens of thousands of crypt demons that they mentioned were resurrected after their family was exterminated, it was enough to plow the expeditionary army back and forth several times. As a general who had been through a long battle formation, Alsace would naturally not be so stupid that he died in vain.

In fact, what Rorschach didn't know was that the reason why Arthas made this decision was not only because of the information of the insects, but more importantly, it was due to his own mentality reflection.

No one knows that in the battle of Stantam, the most serious harm to the prince was not the massacre of the subjects in the entire city and the bloody hands, nor was it the slander of the reputation that implicated the royal family and shamed it. The real fatal blow was actually the double betrayal of the mentor and lover.

For whatever reason, Uther, one of the founders of the Paladin organization "Silver Hand", chose to part ways with his disciples. Although he repeatedly claimed to be unable to stop the prince's crazy decision, the moment he handed over this mess to a Paladin disciple who was still in the process of training, it also represented the breaking between the Paladin group and the royal family.

As her lover, Gianna, no longer suitable for dating a crown prince who will be tomorrow, regardless of whether it is political or self-consideration. The significance behind the breakup of the two parties lies in the breakdown of the intimate relationship between the "Kenryto Parliament", the largest mage group in Azeroth, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

It is precisely under this premise that we are clearly in a fantasy world filled with holy light magic. The most powerful country of mankind sent an expedition to attack the Fear Demon King, but there was no priest, paladin or even mage accompanying him. The only destructive weapon in the entire army was actually the immature engineering gunpowder of the dwarf. This phenomenon has clearly explained the problem.

It is completely conceivable that if this expeditionary army wins, the prince can naturally suppress undercurrents with the grand trend of "killing the 'Stansom plague mastermind' and expeditioning thousands of miles across the sea to eliminate evil", and his own reputation can be completely restored, and even thicker-skinned. It is not too much to say that it is "decisive and decisive" to be praised; but if it is defeated... or even annihilated, it not only represents the fundamental lack of the military basis on which the royal family relies on to rule the people, but also the name of the Lordaeron royal family's incompetence and cruelty will resound throughout Azeroth. It is absolutely famous for its past tense and no chance to turn it around.

In this situation, the Holy Light Church, which masters the two supernatural powers of holy light and magic, and the Kentori Mage Council, did not send a soldier or a soldier to participate, and watched coldly... This attitude has become extremely intriguing.

(Some people say... there are some priests who follow in the mission, but not all the priests belong to the "Church of Holy Light". The royal family has definitely cultivated some priests who are loyal to themselves over the years, but the Paladins have only been in the hands of silver because their birth history is less than a hundred years. There are very few priests accompanying them in the Northern Expedition Army, but there is no paladin or mage, which is quite obvious.)

Perhaps this is true. This prince who finally fell in despair, killed his mentor and former colleagues, and burned the thousand-year-old arcane city of Azeroth to ashes without any psychological burden. He even considered evilly. Maybe at that time, this king who had turned into a death knight, killed the humans who had abandoned him in the past. When he thought of the pain of these guys eating the bitter fruits brewed by themselves, his cold heart that stopped beating, he truly felt the pleasure of "revenge".

In this way, everything makes sense.

In history, the prince who had suffered from many betrayals had already suffered from serious mental illness... Or, when his beloved abandoned him continuously, his heart naturally developed an extreme concept called "The world is unreliable, but he only survives by himself". Driven by this blind spirit, he could kill two thousand Northrend native mercenaries mercenaries mercilessly because they were "outsiders who might be betrayed"; he could also lose his troops after defeat and face endless enemies.

After all the real power surged, the first thought was not to "go back and contact other forces in the human kingdom and gather everyone's strength to defeat this hidden terrible evil", but to pin hope on a holy sword artifact that only exists in the legend, trying to rely on its own power to turn the world and destroy natural disasters. After all, it was still he who did not believe that others would let go of the Lordaeron royal family, who had greatly lost their strength, and to let go of the past for a distant threat far away in other continents, and to fight together.

But now... under the influence of Rorschach's misfortune, Alsace's army, which should have fallen apart, survived, and he himself obtained information from his new ally Aizhu Spider Demon. This key turning point allowed him to free up time to calmly think and overcome psychological obstacles during the three days of Rorschach's bed. In other words, Alsace was no longer stubborn about facing evil alone. Although the hatred in his heart was not exhausted, he regained the calmness and indifference of the general and began to plan all means to eliminate the enemy.

What's more important is... this time, he doesn't have to worry about his allies coveting greed for his kingdom.

In fact, this approach is in line with the image of the crown prince who is like the arrival of the saint son in the early stage of the story, rather than the paranoid in the game who is stubborn and dead. In movie games, often due to the conditions or technical limitations of the editor and designer themselves, intelligent and wise characters must follow a fixed rigid routine and go all the way to the black, thus appearing that the upright is "just" and the villain is stubborn and stupid. Once the plot is off track, those heroes and heroes who are famous for their own glory will naturally bloom.

So, after the anger that was so dazzled, the prince made a decision that shocked Rorschach.

Withdrawal of troops... seems easy and wise, but it is actually impossible. I lost a lot of troops along the way, and it is difficult to get rid of the tiger now. If I just escape like this, let alone gathering power, I am afraid I will not be able to suppress the small movements of the church in China that are not satisfied with the royal power. In addition, the power of the mage council that originally supported me became alienated with Jaina's departure, and most of the royal power was slapped by the Church of Holy Light, and there is no possibility of recovery from now on.

Moving forward... There is no doubt that it is to hit the stone with an egg and die in vain, and it is even more impossible.

On the surface, no matter how you analyze it, Alsace has no way out now. With his proud nature, he would definitely rather die in battle than return to the kingdom to be a puppet of divine power. In this way, in the end he could only be forced to continue northward and repeat the dark fate.

But at this moment, Ayd's new allies who survived because of Rorschach's rash actions in intervening in history gave him a new way out.

That is - joining forces with one another, fighting against the violent Qin... Oh no, it is "jointly crossing the sea and killing the Witch King together."

Although there is no legendary history of famous princes fighting for hegemony in Azeroth, after all, the political and military strategies in the world are of the same destination, which does not hinder Alsace from taking similar measures at all.

"The undead who calls himself the 'Lich King' is born to be the mortal enemy of all living beings. If you want to grow, you can only use endless corpses and souls to build it up. The Northrend continent is independent of the endless sea and is not connected to any continent. The Lich King will not be resisted by powerful forces if it kills a lot. But on the other hand, he can only grow up by massacre Northrend natives. Since there is the example of the spider demon, it means that the indigenous people here are not powerless to resist. It is just because the ice field is remote and there are very few tribes who are defeated one by one. Now with the help of those Aizhu allies, they can rely on the drilling of the insects to achieve the interoperability of information. As long as they unite to form a force, even if they cannot defeat the Lich King, they will definitely be able to curb its power growth rate." Alsace suddenly showed a cold chill in his eyes, but said with a faint smile on his face:

"It would be fine if I didn't know it before. Now that I know that the dark power contained in this land is not something that I, Lordaeron, can compete. How could I be stupid enough to hit the stone with my eggs? The alliance of human kingdoms that disbanded in the Second War is bound to win! If they are not stopped from spreading, if one day it will slaughter the entire Northrend continent and create a fleet of undead skeletons that can cross the sea, then who can fight against the eastern kingdom with dispersed power? And as Lordaeron's crown prince, since I have discovered all this first, I will naturally risk my life to go back and reveal the truth and lead the human kingdom to fight against this darkness, and have no choice but to do so!"

Listening to these passionate speeches, Luo Xia was in a daze and almost thought that he had traveled to a famous time flow in the Celestial Empire to fight against foreign tribes. He heard the famous speech of a great man "unified all living forces". He couldn't speak. When he replied, he had been in his tent for a long time.

"Now... it's trouble." Luo Xia sighed suddenly, "I hope you are a stubborn fool than a politician with a changeable skill..."
