The streets are dark and dilapidated and no longer live up to their former prosperity.
It can be imagined that many years ago, Stratholme was still a prosperous town.
Citizens walked on the streets filled with birds and flowers, greeting each other politely. When they met old acquaintances, they might take the opportunity to walk into the bar, listen to the melodious sound of the bard's harp, and be immersed in the scent of Fras Siabi's tobacco.
inside.
Unfortunately, the invasion of natural disasters made everything come to nothing.
He has two interesting stories about the little ghoul who gradually came over. His name was Timmy. He grew up in a very beautiful countryside when he was a child.
The first story begins when he was a child.
It is said that when Alsace was still a prince, one day when he was inspecting the territory, a mother anxiously asked him for help, saying that her child Timmy was lost and hoped that Alsace could find him.
Alsace, who was regarded as a prince, led people to search everywhere without saying a word, and finally rescued the child who was almost killed by a jackal in the woods.
Alsace took Timmy back to his mother, and received Timmy's mother's gratitude.
The prince at that time was a noble prince who loved his people like a son and was full of passion. He loved his friends and his country. His heart once had only light and love, as Uther said.
People watched him grow day by day and looked forward to the day when he would ascend to the throne and become the master of this country.
The child Timmy asked Arthas: What to do with those people captured by the orcs?
At this time, the tall Alsace lowered his head and said to the child in a gentle but firm tone: Don't worry, my child, I will take them home.
There was no aristocratic pride or warrior arrogance in his voice, but only selfless love for the people.
But fate played tricks on him again and again. First, the Orcs deviated from the war rules of not killing the envoys when the two countries fought and killed the messenger, which made him extremely sad and angry. Then he failed to save his people, and
At the last moment, he personally massacred the entire Stratholme, preventing him from fulfilling his promise to Timmy.
Your Highness, will you always protect us?
I will, I swear!
This ending left him with a deep sense of frustration and guilt, even though it was not entirely his fault.
However, no matter how brave he is, he is still just a young man who has just experienced the battlefield and has enjoyed love and happiness in the palace since he was a child.
Human beings generally have two reactions to fear, one is to escape, and the other is to fight to the death. Warriors like Alsace, who would rather die than be free, obviously belong to the latter.
The reason why he later went crazy to hunt down Mel'Ganis was partly out of anger and partly because he wanted to end the source of his fear.
Maybe he naively thought that once the demon Melganis died, those terrible undead monsters would disappear from his nightmares and life, but fate played tricks on him again, and what happened next was as everyone can see in the game,
He became the Lich King, an enemy of those he was sworn to protect.
His hands were stained with people's blood.
The second story can also be told from when Timmy was a child.
He remembered that when he was very young, he had a vague crush on a little girl, her name was Pamela.
In order to attract Pamela's attention, little Timmy often secretly hid her dolls, and then bravely stood up to help Pamela find the dolls when she cried.
Pamela is always proud to say that Brother Timmy is so awesome.
What Timmy didn't expect was that a few years later, Pamela moved to a town far away from Timmy's home - Darrow County.
From then on, Timmy wanted to visit Daron County every day, but he never had the chance.
Later, Timmy also moved, and the place he moved was even further away from Darrow County where he wanted to go.
Two years later, Timmy was able to help his family with farm work. He no longer carried the toy gun every day. He kept it in the cabinet and took it out to look at whenever he had nothing to do.
Finally, one day, Timmy's new home was also attacked by the undead.
But Timmy was not afraid. He held a pitchfork and fought with them bravely.
At this time, he saw a man with long white hair and riding a white horse rushing towards him.
"This man looks like the Prince of Alsace, but it's a pity that his hair is white."
Timmy was saved by Prince Alsace when he was a child. He admired Prince Alsace the most and vowed to become his guardian knight when he grew up and fight for him in all directions.
When this man ran up to Timmy, he knocked the pitchfork out of his hand with a sword. Timmy looked up at him, and suddenly, he saw his face clearly.
"Alsace...prince?"
The man holding the sword also saw Timmy's face. The sword that was originally slashing at Timmy paused, but in the end, he still stabbed the sword into Timmy's body.
This sword is so cold.
After an unknown amount of time, Timmy woke up from the darkness again. He looked at his rotten and withered body, and then looked around blankly. He seemed to have forgotten many things. Apart from his name being Timmy, he could no longer remember anything.
Already.
Timmy was confused and followed the orders of a man named Rivendell with his companions around him.
They captured one city after another, flattened one village after another, and devoured the delicious flesh and blood. He felt that he had almost forgotten that he was called Timmy, and all that was left was killing and devouring.
Today's order is to capture a place called Daron County.
Darrow County, this place sounds so familiar, Timmy thought as he dragged his body forward among the army of ghouls.
Darrow County arrived, and a new massacre began. Timmy frantically chased a man until he chased him into a house. The man finally had nowhere to escape, and his neck was bitten off by Timmy. When the warm
When the blood spurted out, Timmy caught a glimpse of the trembling figure in the corner. It was a girl holding a doll, and crystal tears continued to flow from her beautiful big eyes.
Timmy suddenly felt a sharp tearing pain in his left chest. It was really strange. He had obviously lost his heart a long time ago.
"Pamela! Pamela!! Pamela!!!" Timmy cried out the name, although to others it was just a meaningless roar of a ghoul...
Timmy couldn't resist Scourge and killed Pamela.
And he didn't want Pamela to be infected by the terrible natural disaster, and he didn't want to see the lovely Pamela turn into a monster like him.
Before leaving Darrowshire, Timmy hid Pamela's doll for the last time.
Many years passed, and Timmy, like all other monster companions, was stationed in Stratholme as a subordinate of Baron Rivendell. The monotonous and boring life gradually made him numb.
Now he saw a group of strange people, and the will of the natural disaster ordered him to kill these strange people.
