The undead creatures transformed from corpses are incomplete lives.
Life of flesh and blood requires organs that can work in a coordinated manner, exchange of materials with the outside world, continuous reproduction and death of cells, and countless chemical reactions in the body. Living is a very complicated thing.
After becoming undead, you lose your flesh and blood, lose your senses, and all signs of life stop. Only rotten bones and dead flesh and blood are left. Being able to stand up and move depends entirely on the power of death, that is, magic.
Arthas didn't hear anything from Robbie's explanation. Kel'Thuzad soon understood. After all, he was an archmage: "Yes, undead are actually the same as those elemental creatures. Elemental creatures rely on the power of elements."
Living by force, the undead rely on the power of death. Without the power of death, the corpse cannot stand up."
Robbie looked at the two of them and further explained: "All elemental creatures have innate magic. They are skilled mages themselves. The same thing happens when humans become undead."
Kel'Thuzad was shocked after hearing this and immediately fell into deep thought.
Arthas, who didn't understand enough about magic, finally understood:
"Robbie, you mean that all the soldiers of the Scourge Legion actually have the talent to become mages?"
If you give something, you will definitely gain something.
The undead are not as sensitive as flesh-and-blood creatures, lack the experience of life, and cannot satisfy various desires. However, because of the power of death in their bodies, they have gained the talent to control the power of death.
By controlling the power of death, you only need to learn the corresponding magic knowledge to understand other elemental magic.
Robbie nodded and said solemnly:
"Believe me, even the weakest ghoul's magical talent is no worse than that of the Archmage of Dalaran. This is the greatest potential of the Scourge. Archimonde may want to obtain the power of death because
This is the reason."
Kel'Thuzad understood magic better than Arthas, and soon thought of more:
"So that's it. It seems that we have been guarding the treasure house without developing or utilizing it. The undead lack the various desires of humans, such as the yearning for beauty, food, and wealth. They can pursue the mysteries of magic wholeheartedly and possess powerful spiritual power that humans do not have.
The pursuit of magic is more focused, no wonder Merry Winterwind turned himself into an undead."
Alsace's sad face finally showed a happy look: "If this is the case, we can make all the Scourge Legion soldiers become mages. With a team full of archmages, the Burning Legion may not be invincible."
The number of Scourge legions exceeds one million, and there are millions of archmages. How can the Burning Legion resist them?
Kel'Thuzad then fell into thinking again and said doubtfully: "According to this analysis, the undead should have powerful mage talents. Unfortunately, only a few natural disaster soldiers can understand magic. The number of undead mages has been difficult to increase. Is it because we don't have it?"
Take advantage of their talents?”
"That's not the case." Robbie smiled and said: "Kel'Thuzad, you have overlooked an important factor. A mage not only needs talent, but also needs to master a certain amount of knowledge. At least he must know the words and understand the magic book."
After hearing this, Kel'Thuzad suddenly realized that the main components of the Scourge's soldiers were farmers. After all, in Lordaeron's feudal lordship-based kingdom based on farming, farmers accounted for the vast majority of the population.
Although Azeroth has mysterious magic, education has always been difficult to popularize. After all, for backward feudal civilization, education requires huge social costs, which is unbearable in an era of low productivity.
Most farmers can only recognize a few words, can write their own names, and understand simple arithmetic, which is enough to cope with life.
If you ask a farmer of this caliber to read an obscure magic book, it's like facing a book from heaven.
In the Scourge, all necromancers were well-educated during their lifetimes and were even mages themselves.
Arthas took a breath of cold air and showed a troubled expression:
"It will take a long time to popularize education for all natural disaster soldiers so that they can understand the magic book. I have been taught by the best court mage since I was a child. I started to read when I was three years old, and I can only understand the magic book when I am more than ten years old.
"
Kel'Thuzad nodded in agreement:
"Soldiers of the Scourge Legion are generally adults, and their receptive ability is far worse than that of children. Let their knowledge reach the point of understanding magic books. Even if they stay up day and night, five or six years of hard work will not be completed. The Burning Legion will not give
We have such a long time.”
Robbie was already prepared, looked at the two of them calmly, and said slowly:
"When I was using the Ancient God Transformation, I had already thought of a good way. The characteristics of natural disaster soldiers are absolute obedience. I can use the magic of the Ancient God Transformation to link the consciousness of the soldiers, and then forcibly instill knowledge and knowledge into them.
Magic, the rest just needs to be understood. I think one month is enough to withstand five or six years of hard work."
In fact, Robbie was hiding something. Robbie was learning from Titan's way of thinking.
Titan links millions of consciousnesses to form extremely powerful computing power.
Why can't tens of thousands of legionnaires be selected and their consciousnesses linked together to form a powerful force? The absolute obedience of the undead has almost the same effect as the titans washing away their self-awareness.
Arthas and Kel'Thuzad thought for a while and agreed to Robbie's suggestion.
"I have a plan." Robbie said the carefully considered plan:
"My suggestion is to select 50,000 natural disaster soldiers with the best talents. They must be human beings, and then use the magic of the ancient gods to transfer their magical knowledge. These 50,000 elites must stay behind the scenes. Even if faced with the danger of the annihilation of the natural disaster army, they would rather
Evacuate Azeroth and never show your face."
Alsace looked puzzled and asked in confusion:
"Why do you do this? Wouldn't it be better to let these 50,000 elite soldiers directly fight against the Burning Legion?"
The Burning Legion invaded Azeroth on a large scale, and legionnaires entered the world in Dalaran every day.
But the overall number does not exceed one hundred thousand.
Fifty thousand natural disaster mages participated in the battle, and with the cooperation of countless natural disaster soldiers, the Burning Legion was bound to be defeated.
"Your Highness," Kel'Thuzad explained at the side: "The Burning Legion invaded Azeroth because they coveted the power of our dead. We cannot show too much fighting power, otherwise even if we defeat the Scourge, we will be in trouble.
If other ambitious people come, Azeroth will never have peace."
Alsace scratched his head and said sheepishly: "It seems that it was my negligence."
Kel'Thuzad closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind:
"I will not participate in this plan of 50,000 elite soldiers."
Arthas didn't understand: "Why, Kel'Thuzad, you are the most powerful mage in the Scourge."
"That's why I can't participate." Although he has an incomparable yearning for magic, for the sake of the future of the Scourge and to defeat the Burning Legion, Kel'Thuzad chose to reject this temptation:
"My reputation is a drag. Countless eyes in Azeroth are staring at me. If my strength suddenly becomes stronger, even if I want to hide it, my flaws will definitely be exposed, and they will understand something."
Robbie also had to admit that Kel'Thuzad was extremely thoughtful.
"There is only one problem left." Robbie expressed his biggest worry: "It will take at least a month to create 50,000 undead archmages. The Scourge may attack at any time. We must delay time." (To be continued)
