After hearing what Merry said, Fording stood up with a "whoosh" and his expression changed in shock.
If this is the case, not only will you get nothing, but you may not be able to save your own life.
Thinking about these people, they are all cunning, cruel and ruthless people. Otherwise, they would not be able to sit in such high positions. It is not surprising that they engage in conspiracy and conspiracy.
Merry just smiled and asked: "Fording, do you have any solution?"
How to deal with it?
Fording's expression turned gloomy after hearing this.
Although with the help of the Dove of Peace, the Silver Northern Expedition Army has a constant supply of troops and there is never a shortage of soldiers, but so far, Fording has not cultivated an elite force.
The small number of trusted troops that were finally established have a worrying combat effectiveness and are definitely no match for the orcs and the Forsaken.
It seemed that there was only one way to escape.
Merry saw through Fording's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "Fording, do you really want to give up everything? Like an ordinary old man, dying alone in a corner."
How could Fording be so willing? He realized something, stared into Merry's eyes, and said sincerely: "Please ask the Archmage to teach me."
Merry nodded with satisfaction: "Fording, you are a smart man. They all say that the Lich King Arthas brought natural disasters to Azeroth, but few people know that the undead have long existed, except for the Scourge.
, how many undead souls do you know living in this world?"
Fording shook his head blankly.
Meili chuckled and said:
"In some invisible corners, such as dark mines, criss-crossing caves, or places where people gather, such as bustling big cities, quiet small villages, or some unknown village, there are undead spirits.
There are more than five million undead creatures in the entire Azeroth."
"What, five million?" Fording looked at Merry in disbelief.
Five million undead creatures are enough to wipe out the Alliance and Horde.
Merry shook his head and said:
"The abilities of undead creatures are beyond your imagination. Many undead creatures can disguise themselves extremely well and live in seclusion among living people for thousands of years. A certain nobleman with a good reputation, a stern middle-aged teacher, a beautiful woman who swaggers through the city,
Even the senior mage of Dalaran, the king's senior advisor, undead creatures are everywhere. If we undead had thought about it, we would have established a country in Azeroth long ago, and there would be nothing to do without the Scourge."
After learning this big secret, Fording was so excited that he trembled all over and asked hurriedly:
"Do these undead creatures know each other's existence?"
A piece of loose sand is completely different from an organized group.
Merry showed admiration and said devoutly: "The undead are very well-organized and have various rules. Our leader, the undead emperor, is older than the world itself. His strength far exceeds that of the Lich King Arthas.
You can crush the Frozen Throne with one hand."
Azeroth actually hides such a great master.
After calming down, Fording felt a little suspicious. It was difficult to guarantee that Merry would not lie.
Merry smiled slightly and took out a precious communication gem.
"Fording, the Emperor is very optimistic about you. In every era, there are always a few people who can enter the Emperor's eyes. You have received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in touch with the Emperor."
Merry cast the spell himself, the communication gem continued to flash, and the image gradually became clearer.
Fording was surprised to find that a shrouded planet appeared in the image, with clearly defined continents and oceans.
"This is the planet Azeroth." Merry introduced:
"In the star system where Azeroth is located, there is a thick patch of cosmic dust. There is an unowned spaceship hidden in it. It is 5,000 kilometers long. It is a relic of prehistoric civilization. The emperor obtained it in this mysterious spaceship.
The ancient inheritance.”
It turns out that the Undead Emperor has left Azeroth, which makes Fording envious.
The image gradually pulled in. Already inside the spacecraft, a strange creature appeared in front of Fording, with nine dragon-like heads. The other dragon heads had their eyes closed, and only the leftmost dragon head was open.
Eyes, carefully looked at Fording.
Meili said respectfully:
"This is a clone of the emperor. I'm sorry, Fording, your strength is not qualified to meet the emperor's true body. If the emperor's true body looks at you, you will die."
The dragon head shot out two rays of light and made a majestic voice: "You are Fording, very good."
Then, the image disappeared with a snap.
Merry put away the communication gem: "Fording, this is your luck. In the past hundred years, you are the only person qualified to meet the emperor."
That's right, this is the style of a big shot, enigmatic and elusive, and what he says is the same as what he didn't say.
There was no doubt in Fording's mind. If he could get the emperor's support, then great things could be accomplished, but he just didn't know what this mysterious undead emperor needed.
Fording asked uneasily: "What can I get, and what price must I pay?"
Meili said calmly: "The emperor has transcended life and death long ago and has turned away from fame, power, glory, etc. In the eyes of the emperor, there is only balance."
"Balance?" Fording was puzzled.
Merry explained:
"With life comes death. If orcs invade Azeroth, the Scourge must exist. If Arthas dies, the balance will be broken, and the entire Azeroth may be destroyed. In order to save Azeroth
, the emperor is willing to send a clone hidden in Azeroth to take over the Scourge from Arthas and become the new Lich King."
In order to save Azeroth, it turned out that the emperor wanted the Lich King.
Fording was reluctant, lowered his head and remained silent.
Mei Li looked displeased and said rudely: "Fording, you have no choice. Without the support of the emperor, death is the only thing waiting for you. As long as the Scourge Legion is still there, the Silver Northern Expedition will have the value of existence and will continue to flow.
Bringing you glory and wealth."
Fording's mind showed Thrall's ferocious face and all kinds of unimaginable cruel methods, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
Cooperating with an undead emperor who doesn't know the details requires taking great risks.
But as Merry said, Fording has no choice.
Fording finally made up his mind and said seriously: "The Silver Northern Expedition is willing to serve the Undead Emperor."
Meili couldn't see any emotion or anger, so he stood up and said goodbye:
"Fording, you are very smart and allow me to successfully complete the task. Otherwise, I need to kill you, then resurrect you and dress up as a living person. I also need to be able to use the Holy Light. This is a very troublesome thing.
I hate trouble the most."
Fording's scalp was numb, it turned out that he had walked away from the gate of hell.
After leaving the camp of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army and seeing no one around, Meili's mouth trembled slightly, he groaned, fell to the ground and rolled, his body twitching continuously.
Bright rays of light burst out from his body. This was the impact of the Ashbringer just now. It seemed that he caressed the Ashbringer casually, but in fact, he forcibly suppressed the Holy Light within his body.
The power of the Holy Light had to be expelled from the body, causing Merry terrible pain.
The guard who took the Ashbringer in both hands looked at Merry indifferently and said with a smile: "Merry, you did a good job. Fordring fell into the trap. Only we, the Dreadlords, are qualified to become the new Lich King."
