The pace of death will not stop because of people's thoughts. When the gap is too huge, the so-called will will be ineffective most of the time.
The guards' desperate resistance was just to allow the remaining people to evacuate as much as possible. In front of Arthas, who held Frostmourne, he still didn't know how to fight the undead, and he didn't have the advantage of being familiar with undead combat.
The human soldiers, no matter how elite they were, were just using their own lives to delay Arthas until the last moment.
"I curse you, monster..."
The guard captain who was vomiting blood looked at Alsace who was looking down at him and couldn't help spitting. When they blocked Alsace, they received some more refugees, but these refugees were not as lucky as the previous refugees.
However, they were not able to escape through the portal, but were blocked by Alsace. Only a small number of lucky people escaped Alsace's slaughter.
Dalaran also had to cut off the connection with the portal, because there were many more mages around the Lich King, who were trying to seize control of the portal, and there were also many undead destroying the portal.
.
"Ha, I enjoy your hate."
Arthas looked at the guard lying on the ground and smiled contemptuously. Frostmourne easily pierced the man's chest, making the man look horrified.
He saw with his own eyes that anyone killed by this sword would become Alsace's puppet, but at this time, he could do nothing but accept this tragic fate.
His expression became distorted, and then, the moment Arthas pulled out his sword, a living free life disappeared and was replaced by a servant of the Lich King.
"Okay, my soldiers, we need to get out of here."
Arthas looked at his warriors with satisfaction. The undead were also divided into superior and inferior ones.
He knew very well that the undead transformed from civilians without self-will could only rely on numbers to deal with the enemy. It was okay to be caught off guard like this, but it was still a big problem to confront Lordaeron's regular army head-on.
of.
Lordaeron's regular army does not lack artillery and sufficient muskets. These things can easily solve the gap in numbers.
Moreover, the warriors under the nobles were not freeloaders. Corpses with no combat experience during their lifetimes could not compete with elite warriors.
There are still too few real soldiers under him, and the undead are also divided into levels. Most of the civilians have become ghouls without their own consciousness, while soldiers like the guard captain can become people with the ability to think for themselves.
people.
Although such undead have their own wisdom, they will still be loyal to the Lich King.
Just like him.
But there are too few such undead, because only those with a strong will can guarantee their own self, or use powerful power and rituals to guarantee it. Most people can only become ghouls.
Therefore, his top priority now is to gather troops, and quickly!
The corners of Alsace's mouth turned up more and more, and the Frostmourne in his hand continued to tremble.
And at the same time——
"What a terrifying power."
Kael'thas, who had already reported the encounter to Dalaran, couldn't help but frown as he recalled the battle between himself and Arthas. No matter how intense the discussion among the other archmages was, it was still difficult for him to discuss it.
It doesn't matter to him.
Because most of their discussions were about topics like "Does this matter have anything to do with Dalaran?", he didn't really want to get involved.
He wanted to accompany Jaina who had been sent to the medical room, but unfortunately, he was a member of Dalaran, and he had to know what Dalaran planned to do, and when necessary, urge Dalaran to
Ran responded to Arthas. After all, the purpose of coming here was to fight for the interests of the elves, prevent humans from abusing magic, and conduct some very dangerous magic research that they had already done.
Therefore, he was a little distracted now and began to think about Frostmourne.
When fighting Arthas, he fully felt the powerful power of Frostmourne. Although he felt that he would not necessarily lose if he fought with the opponent, but he didn't have the weapons just now.
It will be very troublesome.
And the most important thing is that Alsace has a powerful dark power in his body. With the help of this dark power, it is difficult for his spells to have much impact on Alsace, and when fighting Alsace
, ordinary people are definitely a burden, and may even become his helpers.
While observing, he also saw that although Alsace himself was outstanding in strength, when it came to close combat, the extremely sharp but cold Frostmourne was the key.
Those weapons that came into contact with Frostmourne were either cut off or broken by the power above.
And this sword is undoubtedly the level of an artifact. He is very sure of its powerful power just by looking at it. In a short period of time, without any special treasure, it will be difficult to forge a sword that can compete with Frost.
Sorrow's rival weapon.
He couldn't help but think of his father's sword, the heirloom of the Sunstrider family, the king's testimony.
Flame Strike.
"I'm afraid only Flamestrike can compete with Frostmourne."
He couldn't help but make this judgment.
"Then, it seems that the elves don't have to worry too much about Alsace. But at present, Alsace's purpose is not simple, so it would be better to inform his father."
Kael'thas couldn't help but frowned. He didn't quite understand what Alsace was thinking. At this time, Alsace was already an undead and it was impossible for him to have children again.
He very much suspected that Arthas wanted to become the eternal emperor, so he pursued the Frostmourne.
After all, what he said was very strange. What does it mean that elves covet human land?!
What’s so good about human land?!
Kael'thas felt that he had been insulted, especially when the insult was given by Arthas, he felt even more unhappy.
And just when he was depressed and the archmages of Dalaran were having heated discussions, a haggard figure suddenly opened the door. The congressmen sitting here couldn't help but look at this embarrassed figure, and then again.
He looked at the person in the center.
Antonidas, the de facto ruler of Dalaran.
Because the person who came was Gianna. Her face was pale now and her steps were messy. It was obvious that she had not had a good rest. It was obvious that she had just woken up and had arrived.
The reason why many mages looked at Antonidas was also very simple.
It's impossible for them to indulge Jaina like they did before.
The former Jaina was the uncrowned king of the Alliance, the future wife of Arthas, the princess of the Kul Tiras with the strongest fleet, and the disciple and heir of Antonidas.
But the most important thing is the identity of Alsace's future wife.
But now that Arthas has murdered his father and Lordaeron is almost certain to split, her identity is very embarrassing.
After all, her transcendent identity came entirely from Lordaeron. Of course, her identity as the princess of Kul Tiras and the disciple of Antonidas is still worth boasting about, but it is no longer as important as before.
After all, Jaina is not the only princess or prince of Dalaran.
There may even be more in the future.
However, how they face Jaina still depends on Antonidas' attitude.
Antonidas sighed inaudibly and looked at Gianna who was holding back tears. He had roughly guessed what Gianna wanted to do, but unfortunately, he could not agree to it.
So, he spoke in as gentle a tone as possible.
"Jenna, my child, you seem to need a rest, but since you are here, it means you must have something important to say, right?"
Antonidas looked at Jaina lovingly. Jaina was different from other disciples. He could be said to have accepted countless disciples in his life, and even Kel'Thuzad studied under his guidance.
But only Gianna is different.
Jaina is smart and smart. She is almost his granddaughter. In fact, he has watched her grow up. She also learns everything quickly. She is a mage who will definitely surpass him in the next few years. Of course he likes her.
Not only that, because he accepted Jaina as his disciple, both Lordaeron and Kul Tiras favored him and Dalaran in various matters, which was also a good thing for Dalaran.
So Antonidas really regards Gianna as his own relative.
And Jaina looked at her teacher's concerned eyes, couldn't help but pursed her lips, and then spoke anxiously.
"Teacher, we, we, we must leave this land immediately and go to the new continent! Only in this way can we avoid this plague!"
She gave her suggestion, but when she looked at Antonidas' helpless eyes, she knew it was the same as the prophecy.
Antonidas would not agree.
"Jaina, it's impossible. We can't leave here because of some prophecies."
Antonidas sighed, they were inseparable.
The first is the problem of the magic network. There are no such huge magic networks in other places. After the mages leave here, it will be difficult to come back.
Moreover, the undead are not difficult to deal with. As soon as the plague appeared and the Stratholme tragedy occurred, they began to study magic to completely destroy the undead, and the results were very good.
The key is.
Benefit.
Countless caravans are connected to mage families and academic families, and there are many things that cannot be put on the table. Once relocated, these things will surface.
By that time, Dalaran was almost gone in name only.
Moreover, many people's laboratories, countless people's experiments, and a large number of magic material cultivation fields will be destroyed. The supplies required to travel to another unknown continent are astronomical. Even if these are collected in peaceful times,
It will take at least half a year to prepare, and how to ensure that you will not be attacked by the undead?
Dalaran can't even supply itself with food, so how can it qualify to move the whole city? And this is even now when their magic has been successfully tested and can kill undead very well?
Among other things, the family of a certain archmage is deeply entrenched with a group of local forces. Their manors, farmland and workshops are all here, but they are gone when they go to other places.
No one can issue such an order.
And although he is actually the ruler, he is not legally the ruler, and he does not have the qualifications and ability to issue such an order.
"But... the prophecy has come true!"
Jaina's face was ashen. She didn't believe the prophecy before, but as a result, the prophecy came true.
Now, she thought that her teacher would learn the lessons of Lordaeron, but unfortunately, her teacher did not believe in this prophecy that had already come true!
"Prophecies are just predictions. Destiny requires our own efforts, Jenna."
But how could the Archmage Antonidas not know that part of the prophecy had come true? But he believed more in the power of magic.
Moreover, he didn't think Arthas would be able to deal with Dalaran after they had figured out the magic to deal with the undead.
The reason why Dalaran can be sold at a high price is not because of his high moral character, but because under his integration, Dalaran's strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and it has been able to form a large amount of combat power.
"But……"
Jaina wanted to say something else, but Antonidas raised his hand to show that he understood.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, kid, although we will not move away, you can leave with those who want to leave here, and I will let everyone cooperate with your supplies.
You can also take as much as you can."
Antonidas looked at his disciple, shook his head and sighed.
At this time, it would be better for Jaina to stay away from the chaos in Lordaeron. Although she has not yet married Arthas, she is already engaged to him, and he is also the sea powerhouse of Kul Tiras.
The princess, marrying her means that she will have strong support and backing. Staying in Dalaran is not a good thing for Dalaran or for her.
Although he is his disciple, Antonidas also knows very well that he is the leader of Dalaran and he is responsible for all the residents of Dalaran.
This is what being a leader requires.
It has nothing to do with good or evil or preferences, but responsibility.
Dalaran must be neutral. Only in this way can spells not be abused and used in human fights and conquests.
But as her disciple, soldiers, mages, and supplies will not treat her badly.
"is teacher……"
Jaina felt that the power was being taken away from her body. She only felt that her teacher did not believe in the prophecy and only said this because he loved her. She had never thought about the reason behind it.
Kael'thas also watched Jaina leave helplessly. He knew the whole story very well, but his identity prevented him from telling Jaina, and he also hoped that Jaina would always be so innocent and cute.
However, when Jaina took the order written by Antonidas and walked out in despair, and the discussion among the mages began to become noisy again, something suddenly occurred to Jaina's mind.
Among the prophecies that Alsace will destroy everything...
There is no sign of Li Ke!
"Li Ke!"
Jaina tightened her grip on the parchment in her hand.
