In fact, if you look back at Alsace's experience from childhood to adulthood, you will find that Uther, the Lightbringer, is actually partly responsible for Alsace's final fall.
Uther is a powerful paladin. His belief in the Holy Light is devout and firm, but he is not a good teacher.
In fact, Uther's devotion to the Holy Light made him a little pedantic. He did not understand that in many cases there was a difference between religion and royal power.
As the Crown Prince of Lordaeron, Arthas is brave and tenacious, but he also has the arrogance and impulsiveness of a young man. Since he was given high hopes since he was a child, as he grows older, the responsibilities and obligations that the Crown Prince should fulfill,
It was also suppressing him, making him doubt whether he could lead the people of Lordaeron like his father.
He knows that he will one day be crowned king, so he cannot purely stick to his beliefs like Uther. He must also shoulder his people and country, but can he really become a great king?
?
This kind of self-doubt is what everyone will encounter in the process of growing up. However, as his mentor, Uther was unable to enlighten his disciple. Whenever Arthas doubted himself and asked Uther for help,
At that time, Uther would only use a hearty duel to deal with Arthas.
No, it can’t be said that he is coping, it is just perfunctory. Uther does not understand the psychological education of Alsace at all. He, an old man, does not understand the psychology of young people at all. Perhaps in his opinion, Alsace
This kind of self-doubt is simply a big deal and not worthy of attention at all.
Therefore, the generation gap between him and Alsace is huge...
Because he missed the best period of psychological construction for Alsace, when Alsace came of age and won some honors, he had already formed his own understanding and values of the world, and he also had some understanding of Uther's teachings.
Impatient.
To put it bluntly, Alsace already has some psychological problems at this moment, but these psychological problems are well hidden by him and have not been seen by others for the time being...
Uther seemed to be deceived by the Holy Light. His own faith was firm, and he felt that others should be as firm in their faith in the Holy Light as he was.
The outbreak of natural disasters and plagues was an opportunity. When Arthas discovered that the Holy Light could not solve the problem of natural disasters and plagues, his faith in the Holy Light was shaken, so he decided not to abide by the way of the Paladin, but to
I plan to solve the problem in my own way.
And his solution is also very crude and simple, that is to kill the people infected with the natural disaster and plague first to prevent them from eventually transforming into undead monsters...or directly kill the mastermind behind the natural disaster and plague, the Dread Lord.
Mal'Ganis!
Yes, after killing Kel'Thuzad and wiping out the followers of the Cursed Sect, Arthas and Jaina got information. It was said that the man behind the natural disaster and plague was a fear lord named Mal'Ganis. These
The minions of the Burning Legion are trying to create plague and unrest throughout Lordaeron, and a batch of grain infected by the Scourge virus is currently being transported to Stratholme City.
After hearing the news, Alsace's heart went cold. He knew very well that Stratholme was a densely populated city. Once these grains were transported to Stratholme and eaten by people, it would cause the entire city to suffer natural disasters.
Infected by virus.
Arthas and Jaina realized the seriousness of the matter, so they immediately headed towards Stratholme, hoping to intercept this batch of food before it reached Stratholme City.
However, this whole thing was originally planned by the Dread Lords. How could Arthas intercept it so easily?
So, when Arthas and Jaina passed by a village along the way, the villagers were also infected by the virus, and an outbreak broke out. A large number of undead monsters began to attack the village guards, and at the same time, Arthas and Jaina were killed.
Trapped here.
Arthas and Jaina immediately fell into a hard fight. The village guards helped them resist for a moment, but were soon killed by the undead. These dead guards stood up again every time and turned into the same
The undead monsters in turn attacked Arthas and Jaina.
Fortunately, Arthas and Jaina were both seeded players. Although they were in trouble, they still persevered and finally received support from Uther and the Paladin Legion.
"For Lordaeron! For the king!"
Uther shouted loudly, and led the paladins into the group of undead. The powerful power of holy light swayed, burning the bodies of the undead, and soon fought a bloody path to join Arthas and Jaina.
.
"I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did, young man. If I hadn't arrived in time..."
When Uther said this, he originally just wanted to liven up the atmosphere and tease Alsace, but this usually too serious paladin didn't seem to have the ability to joke, so his words immediately irritated Alsace.
He defended breathlessly: "I have done my best, Uther! If I also had a team of knights to obey my command, I would be as relaxed as you!"
"Okay, okay, now is not the time to discuss dignity..." Uther quickly changed the subject and said: "What we are facing now is just the beginning. Every time our soldiers sacrifice their lives in battle, the army of the undead expands.
.”
Arthas said angrily: "Of course I know this!"
After saying that, he informed Uther of the information he and Jaina had gathered, saying: "We should take action against their leader! I will go to Stratholme personally to kill Mal'Ganis!"
Uther stepped forward, stood in front of Alsace, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Relax young man, although you are very brave, you cannot face the man commanding the army of death alone!"
"You can choose to go or not!" Alsace slapped Uther's hand away and said coldly: "Uther, I'm leaving. No matter what you think, I will solve this matter in my own way.
!”
After saying that, Arthas stepped out, took a war horse that survived the battle, got on the horse's back and galloped away. He was so anxious that he didn't even bother to call Jaina.
Riding a war horse, Alsace was heading towards Stratholme. However, as he passed through the mountain forest, a figure wearing a gray cloak and holding a staff blocked his path, forcing Alsace to stop.
Come down.
"Hello, young prince, we must talk..."
The cloaked man lowered his head, covering most of his face in shadow. Arthas was unable to see the other man's face clearly.
"Who are you?" Alsace asked doubtfully.
"Me? Maybe I'm a prophet...but actually I don't know either." The cloaked man responded somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"I don't have time anymore, get out of the way!" Alsace felt that this guy was chattering a bit, so he didn't want to listen to him anymore, and he wanted to drive him away angrily.
"Listen, child! This continent has fallen, and no matter what you do, it will not change this." The cloaked man said solemnly: "If you want to save your people, take them across the ocean...
…Go to that huge piece of land to the west!”
However, these words undoubtedly stimulated Alsace's arrogance again, and he growled: "You mean to escape!? This is my place, my country! My only goal is to help my people resist foreign enemies! Not
Take them and run away like lost dogs!"
Hearing Alsace's words, the cloaked man sighed, moved out of the way, and said: "Now that you have made your choice, okay... But you have to remember that if you keep killing your enemies, you will only
It will speed up the process of delivering the people into the hands of the devil!"
After saying this, the cloaked man struck the ground with the staff in his hand, and turned into a crow and flew away.
Watching the crow leave, Alsace was a little confused, who is this?
While he was wondering, a figure suddenly appeared from darkness to light, and it was Jaina. She had just cast an invisibility spell on herself.
Arriving in front of Arthas, Jaina explained: "That mysterious man... I felt great power from him. Arthas, maybe he is right, maybe he knows what will happen."
"Stop talking, Jaina, I thought you came after me to fight alongside me, not to dissuade me!" Arthas turned his horse's head and said, "No matter what the guy who calls himself a prophet says, no matter what he says,
Even if I see the future, I will not give up my homeland, Jaina, let’s go, the people of Stratholme are still waiting for our help.”
"Okay!" Jaina saw what had happened and said nothing more. She got on the horse and sat behind Alsace, saying: "Let's go, let's go first, Uther will come with the knights later.
of."
After Arthas and Jaina left, a crow flew back and transformed into a cloaked man, standing on a high mountain ridge, watching their departing figures.
"Alas, I have already done what I have to do..." The cloaked man looked up at the sky and said helplessly: "The dark destiny is shrouding Azeroth. How much can I save by myself? After all, I
Medivh, the former guardian, is no longer..."
Yes, the person who appeared in front of Arthas and tried to dissuade him was Medivh, the former guardian of Azeroth, or he once was.
If Medivh had not been dominated by Sargeras and had not opened the Dark Portal to attract the orcs of Draenor to invade, then perhaps he could have appeared in front of Arthas and used his reputation to attract Arthas' attention.
, thus discouraging this young man from heading towards the abyss of destiny. However, unfortunately, he does not even dare to reveal his identity now.
Medivh, the former guardian, is now a despised object in Azeroth...
In fact, I wanted to mention it briefly, but after thinking about it, I might as well write about Alsace. After all, this is the card that a filial son should have.
