Still some distance away from Uther's Tomb, Nathanos felt Uther's presence.
Unlike other undead, Uther is protected by the Holy Light.
The golden holy light enveloped Uther's translucent soul, still wearing the golden armor of his life, holding the famous two-handed Hammer Earthshaker.
Walking in the dark night, Uther is like a bright light. Other undead souls are afraid of the holy light and have to stay away.
As Uther walked, he praised the Holy Light and cursed Arthas, the traitor.
A furbolg adventurer accidentally encountered Uther. Uther rushed forward, grabbed the furbolg, and roared:
"Arthas killed me and avenged me. The Holy Light is with us."
The furbolg was frightened, trembling and nodded in agreement.
"Didn't you listen to me?" Uther said angrily: "The Scourge is raging. Only Thrall, the great savior, can save Azeroth. You must fight the Scourge."
"I do, and I will listen to you." The furbolg turned pale with fear.
"You dare to destroy Azeroth, go to hell, you insidious undead scourge."
The spirit of Uther didn't even listen to what the furbolg said. It rushed forward and got into the furbolg's body.
The furbolg's body quickly withered, turned into skin and bones, and staggered down.
Uther, who lives by absorbing the souls of adventurers, is one of the greatest dangers in the Plaguelands.
It's a pity that no one dared to speak ill of Uther. Many adventurers saw the undead ducking where Uther passed and thought they could seek shelter, but they all met with disaster.
Nathanos was extra careful to keep a safe distance from Uther's ghost.
Controlling Uther is a huge challenge.
Most of the undead in the Plague Land are intelligent and unite to form villages and towns to jointly resist foreign enemies.
The only things Nathanos can control are undead souls that lack intelligence.
Although Uther seems to be intelligent, he cannot communicate with other undead and only lives in his own world. Nathanos feels that he has a chance.
However, soon, reality struck Nathanos hard.
An orc walked towards Uther with a smile.
The orc wore gorgeous armor, carried a battle ax on his back, and was followed by a group of guards who treated him respectfully.
"Etrigg!"
Nathanos narrowed his eyes slightly and hurriedly used magic to hide his figure.
The Withermen were attacked by Alliance adventurers many times, and each time their skeletons were broken apart and had to be put back together again.
Nathanos investigated and found that it was Eitrigg who was instigating the adventurers behind the scenes.
"Uther, you idiot, get down on your knees." Eitrigg scolded.
The ghost of Uther knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Eitrigg.
Nathanos was secretly surprised. The dark magic he learned was the result of Sylvanas' help and the hard work of many magisters in Silvermoon City.
However, it is still difficult to control Uther. How could Eitrigg do it so easily.
Soon, the mystery was revealed.
A fear devil came out of the shadows and asked strangely:
"Etrigg, what do you want with this loser?"
Eitrigg nodded and bowed: "The great Lord Tichondrius, the savior Thrall wants to use Uther to deal with someone."
Tichondrius chuckled: "Stupid Uther has been controlled by me for a long time. Don't worry, no one in the Plague Land can be his opponent."
"Who is Eitrigg going to deal with? Could it be..."
Nathanos was frightened for a while, "Am I the one you want to deal with?"
"What should I do?"
Nathanos thought of an old friend, Saint Demitia of the Scarlet Crusade.
Demitia is one of the four beauties of the Scarlet Crusade and the chief advisor of the Grand Crusade Dathro Khan.
Because of his "innate intuition", he helped the Scarlet Crusaders win victories against the undead natural disasters many times.
Nathanos and Demetria had a relationship and had a secret affection for each other. Unfortunately, due to Sylvanas' jealousy, they unfortunately could not get together.
In order to deceive the Dark Queen, Nathanos had to issue a mission to kill Demitia.
Having made up his mind, Nathanos returned to Maris Farm and hung a lantern on the railing at the edge of the farm.
This was the signal agreed by the two. Early the next morning, a transparent soul appeared in front of Nathanos in the basement.
As a saint of the Scarlet Crusade, Demetria has unique abilities, and this dead soul is one of her abilities.
The long legs of the dead soul were raised high, with a seductive smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Why, Sylvanas is jealous again?"
Nathanos shook his head and said in embarrassment: "It's Eitrigg. He has controlled Uther and wants to deal with me."
Demetria narrowed her eyes slightly and said warily:
"Uther is the spokesperson of the Holy Light. He was killed in a sneak attack by Saurfang in his early years, and was contaminated by the fear lord Tichondrius with black magic. It is not easy to deal with him."
Nathanos had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "There is really no other way, I can only go back to the Undercity."
Demetria shook her head: "You can't go back, Sylvanas will definitely make you undead, and Uther is not without weaknesses."
"What weakness?" Nathanos asked hurriedly.
"Orcs, Uther is scared to death of orcs. As long as you hire orcs to protect you, you will be safe." Demitia suggested.
Nathanos hesitated for a moment: "With Eitrigg here, no orc is willing to accept my employment, but you reminded me."
At night, the golden holy light enveloped Maris Farm. Nathanos hid in the basement. On the ground, the Blighter led the hounds to face the enemy.
Uther is so terrifying, with a pair of golden wings growing out of his back, floating in the air and flying slowly.
Wherever the holy light passed, the corroded areas were cleansed, and the withered ones were pressed to the ground, unable to move.
A dozen plague hounds whined and black smoke erupted from their bodies.
Not far away, Eitrigg monitored the battle here under the protection of ten guards.
Seeing Uther's great power, Eitrigg was elated and expected to capture Nathanos soon.
Suddenly, Uther screamed in fear and fell from the sky. The holy light melted as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun.
As if he had encountered the most terrifying thing, Uther ran away desperately and soon disappeared without a trace.
Eitrigg was dumbfounded and had no idea what was happening.
At Marris Farm, an undead orc controlled by Nathanos is hiding quietly.
The wither stood up again, and a dozen plague hounds also regained their freedom. They followed the smell and found Eitrigg.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Blighter took his bow and shot an arrow. All the orc guards around Eitrigg were struck by arrows and fell down, and he was also surrounded by plague hounds.
Nathanos controlled the Blighter, came to Eitrigg, and stared at him maliciously.
Eitrigg forced a smile: "This is a misunderstanding. I am the noblest orc in Azeroth, second only to Thrall, the savior."
The Withered One sneered: "If you die here, who will know?"
The plague hound rushed forward and quickly threw Eitrigg to the ground.
The Withered One pulled out a sharp dagger: "It is said that Eitrigg has a benevolent heart. I would like to see what your heart is like."
The sharp dagger pierced Eitrigg's chest, and suddenly, a loud shout came from behind the Wither:
"Stop it, stop it quickly."
Tirion Fordring strode over and rescued Eitrigg from the Wither.
