Although with the help of the Helm of Dominance, Ner'zhul gained unparalleled spiritual power, which allowed him to control a huge army of undead and spread his will, but he could not move himself.
Sender's ten thousand-year-old ice was cast by Kil'jaeden with powerful magic. Although this piece of ice was called the Frozen Throne, it was actually his prisoner, Ner'zhul.
So, after thinking deeply in his heart for a long time, Ner'zhul called for Tikrios and Mal'Ganis.
Ner'zhul knew very well that these fear lords were the jailers Kil'jaeden sent by his side to supervise him, but there was no way. Most of his men now were mindless undead, so he could only look for fear.
The demon kings came to cooperate with his plan.
Being summoned by Ner'zhul, Tikrios and the others were very dissatisfied, especially Tikrios. He was originally the leader of the Nazrem, but now he was sent as a jailer by Kil'jaeden.
, there has always been resentment in his heart, but Ner'zhul ignored the arrogant and dissatisfied attitude of Tikrios and others, and told them bluntly that as the number of undead in the Scourge Army continued to increase, he alone could not command them.
, so he needs to find a deputy and a commander for the legion.
He needs a powerful death knight and an equally powerful lich.
Although the Dreadlords were very dissatisfied with Ner'zhul instructing them to do their work, they could not refute Ner'zhul's reasons. If millions of undead had to rely on Ner'zhul who was far away in Northrend,
As for the command, it would be too inflexible, and it is very likely that the Scourge Legion that was finally accumulated would be defeated by the people of Azeroth.
So even though they were reluctant, the Dreadlords still planned to cooperate with Ner'zhul's plan, and they took away the rune sword Frostmourne.
In Ner'zhul's words, Frostmourne is a bait. Ner'zhul needs it to seduce Prince Arthas to his final fall. As long as he holds this rune sword, Arthas can become the most powerful.
Death Knight.
However, Ner'zhul's words are actually half true and half false. The true part is that he really needs Frostmourne to lure Arthas to fall, but the false part is that he wants Frostmourne to leave his world.
Sight!
No way, every time he holds this rune sword, Ner'zhul will think of the abyss demon Osiris he met on the planet Argus. He was one of the three giants of the Burning Legion, even better than Kil'jaeden Ark.
Mondstadt is a more powerful commander, and this rune sword is the sword of the demon king Osiris. With this sword by his side, Ner'zhul always feels like he is being watched by the demon king Osiris...
Even when holding this sword, he always felt as if his soul was being spied on...
In order to successfully implement his plan and obtain a new body to escape Kil'jaeden's control, Ner'zhul took all unstable factors into consideration...
However, what Ner'zhul didn't know was that after Tikrios and the others left, the Dreadlords stopped as soon as they left the range of Northrend.
Tiklios held the hilt of Frostmourne's sword in both hands, raised the sword, and penetrated his spiritual power into Frostmourne.
At the same time, Roy, who was far away in the outer world, suddenly seemed to have something. He felt that someone was calling him with spiritual power. After thinking about it, Roy immediately knew what was going on, so he put his spiritual force field on
Open and get in touch with this call.
"Who is calling my name?"
"Lord Osiris, I am the Dread Lord Tiklios!" Tiklios responded.
Roy was not surprised and asked with great interest: "Oh, it seems that Frostmourne is in your hands now?"
"Yes..." Tikrios replied, and then reported to Roy exactly what Ner'zhul was going to do, and finally asked: "Lord Osiris, I always feel that Ner'zhul
This damn orc Zu seems to be planning something, could you please tell us what to do?"
Roy did not answer him immediately, but after thinking for a while, he said with deep meaning: "Tikrios, instead of asking Kil'jaeden for instructions on this matter, you came to ask me for instructions?"
"Lord Osiris, after all, I am holding your sword now... the one I can contact the fastest is you!" Tiklios answered accurately.
"..." Roy tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, and after a long time he said: "Don't do unnecessary things, cooperate with Ner'zhul!"
"Yes, follow your will!" Tiklios responded respectfully.
Just before the connection was about to be disconnected, Roy suddenly said: "Well done, Tikrios, I will show my merit for you when I return to the Shadow Realm..."
Just such a sentence immediately made Tiklios feel reassured. He deliberately contacted Roy through Frostmourne from a distance, just to confirm such a thing. Now he heard Roy mention the Shadow Realm in person.
, Tiklios immediately understood that this Lord Osiris was still one of his own.
After disconnecting his spiritual link and putting away Frostmourne, Tiklios couldn't help but reveal a treacherous smile on his face, and nodded at the other Dread Lords. This expression that could only be understood but not expressed, immediately
Malganis and the others felt it, so they also shared the same smile.
"Let's go back to Northrend and find a place to put Frostmourne!" Tikrios said: "The rest of the people lurked among humans and spread the news that Northrend has a powerful rune sword.
Go out and tell those greedy people that if you get this rune sword, you can gain incomparable power!"
"I understand, but the only one who can finally find this sword and pull it out is the Prince of Alsace, right?" Mal'Ganis said this, which immediately caused the Dread Lords to laugh wildly.
A group of Dread Lords scattered and went to perform their respective tasks. This is why Ner'zhul needs to use them, because only the Dread Lords can lurk among humans to spread news, and the undead under his command cannot do that.
to this point.
Over in the Outland, Roy sat on the throne and remained silent for a long time after disconnecting.
The exchange with Tiklios just now allowed Roy to confirm one thing, that is, he does have some kind of connection with the Shadow Realm, and may be a collaborator of Emperor Denathrius, so this group of people as
The spies' Dreadlords also obeyed him to a certain extent, which also explained why their eyes were more excited after seeing him appear.
It's just that because they may have disappeared for a long time, they are not sure about their situation, so they cautiously test and contact themselves like this.
Tsk, that's a bit responsible. Roy patted his leg with a headache. The trouble now is that these things will only happen in the future, but at this stage, Roy doesn't know what the real relationship between him and the Shadow Realm is.
situation, so even when talking to Tiklios and the others, they could only express themselves very vaguely, for fear of making mistakes if they spoke too much.
"Forget it, if the guess is correct, these things will happen in the future, just do it step by step!" Roy could only think this way in the end.
As for Frostmourne, Roy has no intention of intervening. Arthas, a filial son, is too famous, and his appearance will undoubtedly promote the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth again. Interference
The birth of the Lich King Arthas did not benefit Roy in any way.
………………
Everything was as Roy expected. After the Dreadlords planted Frostmourne in Northrend and sneaked into Lordaeron to spread the plague among the people, the undead scourge began to break out.
The dead bodies stood up again, and then began to bite back the living people. This was not only the work of the Dread Lords, but also the work of Kel'Thuzad, one of the members of the Kirin Tor Council who was inspired by the Lich King Ner'zhul.
Kel'Thuzad has always been obsessed with the study of necromancy and necromancy.
Although necromancy has always existed in the world of Azeroth, the mainstream values of human society naturally reject necromancy. Kel'Thuzad, who has always been obsessed with studying necromancy, was warned by Archmage Antonidas.
, although he promised not to continue on the surface, deep down he already felt that he and the Kirin Tor Council no longer had a common language.
Under this situation, Kel'Thuzad felt Ner'zhul's spiritual call, so he immediately went to North Forest and prostrated himself under Ner'zhul's Frozen Throne.
And he is the Lich deputy chosen by Ner'zhul...
After offering his loyalty and soul to Ner'zhul, Kel'Thuzad was repatriated by Ner'zhul, allowing him to return to Dalaran, where he established the Curse Cult, secretly developed followers, and assisted the Dread Lords in Lordaeron.
Spread natural disasters and plagues.
The constant appearance of the undead in Lordaeron, as well as the followers of the Curse Sect, attracted the attention of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. When he realized that these undead and the plague were constantly shaking the foundation of the kingdom, Prince Arthas Menethil became extremely anxious.
Taking his childhood sweetheart Gianna with him, he set off overnight to investigate the severely affected areas.
By coincidence, Kel'Thuzad was hit by Arthas when he was testing a new natural disaster virus with people from the Cult of the Curse, so Ner'zhul's future death knight killed Ner'zhul's future sorcerer.
Demon deputy...
After killing Kel'Thuzad, the natural disaster plague could not be contained. This made Arthas realize that this was probably not just a conspiracy of the cursed sect, but that there might be a more powerful mastermind behind it, and he studied the natural disaster virus.
Afterwards, both Arthas and Jaina discovered an even more astonishing thing, that is, natural disasters and plagues cannot be treated with medicine, and holy light magic has little effect on this.
People will become undead.
This astonishing fact made Arthas' originally firm belief in the Holy Light waver for the first time.
His belief in the Holy Light came from his teacher Uther, the Lightbringer, but now facing the natural disaster and plague that he was helpless to deal with, Arthas wanted to ask his teacher, didn't he say that the Holy Light is omnipotent? Didn't he say that as long as he is helpless, Arthas would like to ask his teacher.
Can faith conquer everything? Then why can’t the Holy Light defeat natural disasters and plagues?
In fact, the firmer the faith, the faster it will collapse when it wavers. With the cooperation of the Lich King Ner'zhul and the Dread Lord who is best at playing with people's hearts, Arthas is moving step by step towards
