Warcraft novel series

"Everyone, aim your fire at that man," Alsace roared. The next moment, the loud sound of muskets and spells hitting the living corpses drowned his voice. The man in black stopped all activities, but transformed into many The phantom in black. The zombies controlled by him stopped immediately. Although they were still moving, they became aimless. The phantom of the man in black became the target of dwarf artillery and soldiers, completely vulnerable. But soon the black phantom The man in clothes stood up from an inconspicuous corner, waved his hands and began to cast spells. Arthas noticed the familiar space vortex in front of him, and they tried to open a portal.

"Don't let him get away!"Alsace shouted, while slamming the warhammer into the chest of a certain skeleton, and then pulled it out almost at the same moment, swinging it back in an arc, knocking off the head of another zombie. At this moment, a huge and pale A monster composed of many skeletons and living corpses walked out of the pile of monsters brandishing sickles and chain hammers. Every time he waved the weapon in his hand, soldiers fell. Arthas did not want to see such a scene. ,"Gianna, Xavier, cover me!"Alsace waved his warhammer and rushed over. The next moment, the magic of holy light and fire alternately bloomed on the huge monster, blooming with flaming brilliance.

The abominable experimental product finally found Alsace, waving a weapon with Alsace's scythe as tall as a man approached. Alsace jumped out of its path, rolled lightly behind it, jumped up, and charged from behind the monster. The attack of flames and sacred fire severed the threads on the Stitch Monster's body. , immediately turned into pieces under Alsace's attack. During the fierce battle, Alsace was still paying attention to the Necromancer's movements with the corner of his eye. He turned around and rushed towards the portal, and soon disappeared. The zombies left behind by them all lost their command, and the aimless corpses were quickly wiped out.

"Damn it!"Arthas roared, and the next second when he looked back and saw the concerned eyes of Xavier and Jaina, he stopped being angry."Destroy the granary quickly," Xavier shouted anxiously, and a huge fireball flew into the sky. Suddenly, everything in front of him turned into a sea of ​​fire. It was obvious that Jaina's movements were faster. Seeing everything turned into ashes, Arthas touched the sweat between the ends of his golden hair, but accidentally stepped on the stitching. Body, a stench made Alsace wrinkle his nose. Xavier came over to check. This thing was indeed sewn together from different bodies.

"It seems that this is all the work of necromancers, wizards obsessed with dark magic - they can summon and control the dead. It was obvious that he or their master was behind the plague. Jaina raised her serious blue eyes to Arthas."There may also be demonic energy involved, but I think it's obvious that we were wrong at the beginning."""The Necromancers create a plague to fuel their evil armies, and we must stop them. Xavier added."The target is Andorhal. I believe he must be creating a bigger conspiracy there," Arthas said bitterly.

Arthas knew that he was pushing his men too hard, but the time was too much. It is precious and cannot be wasted. But when he saw Jaina chewing dried meat while walking, he struggled with self-reproach in his heart. When he fought, the Holy Light gave him and Xavier strength, and as a mage, Jaina was in the previous battle. Zhong had tried his best and was exhausted. But they had no time to rest. The survival of tens of millions of lives depended on their actions. The order he was assigned was to investigate the plague and stop it. Now the mystery is beginning to unravel, but At the same time, he also began to doubt his ability to stop the plague. Things were far from as simple as he thought at the beginning. However, Arthas would never give up. He had vowed to stop the plague and save his people at all costs , he will definitely fulfill his oath.

But Xavier had other thoughts in his heart. Although he knew that nothing could stop Alsace's determination to eliminate the plague, the faint uneasiness in his heart gave him a bad feeling.

When they When he rushed to Andorhal, what he saw was the thick smoke from the burning flames of the surrounding buildings. It was so peaceful here without any mummies, Xavier thought. But his thoughts were immediately interrupted by the evil voice."I think you are here to find me. I saw this Necromancer smiling, and his face under the hood was blurred in the shadow. His hypocritical smile made Arthas furious and wanted to cut him off immediately. Lose his face. Beside him were his two zombie pets."Now you have found me. I am Kel'Thuzad."

Kel'Thuzad turned to Jaina and said,"Antonidas's little apprentice Jaina, it seems that you have grown up and your abilities have become stronger.""Oh, I also forgot, there is a little priest and paladin under the holy light, welcoming you to the kingdom of the dead.""Kel'Thuzad!"I've seen the rats you used for experiments!" Jaina shouted."That's scary enough, and now you actually establish a cult. On behalf of Dalaran, I will destroy you, the traitor!""Oh, that's really scary. Priest over there, I see something similar to ours in you. Very similar flavor, join us."I serve the Dreadlord Mal'Ganis. He will command the Scourge to cleanse the earth and build a paradise of eternal darkness!"

Xavier was too lazy to express his anger in words. He raised his hand and roared away with a blast of sacred fire. Unfortunately, he missed it a little. The zombie pet next to Kel'Thuzad became a scapegoat and was purified into ashes by the holy light." The Scourge Legion, what does this Scourge Legion want to do!"Arthas roared, although he already knew in his heart that the answer he got would never be good news. Another cruel smile appeared on Kel'Thuzad's sharp lips under his white beard."What to do, of course, wipe out all living creatures.. His plan has already begun. If you want more evidence, go to Stratholme to find him." Kel'Thuzad stood motionless. However, at the last moment, as the surrounding air twisted and fluctuated, he disappeared.

Arthas seemed to suddenly understand something and shouted,"Granaries, go and see those granaries!"Alsace, Xavier, and Jaina each rushed to a granary. Arthas prayed that the poisoned food was still there, but what greeted him was disappointment one after another, and finally despair. All the granaries were empty. , and the dust on the ground and the cobwebs in the corners showed that they had been empty for a while. Alsace looked up to the sky and screamed,"Why! Then he jumped on his horse and roared,"To the north," he told the people who followed, who were not used to seeing the usually gentle prince descend into such a rage."That is his next destination, let Let's eradicate pests like him!"Xavier understood Arthas' anger. He took his responsibilities too seriously, which made him crazy. As his best friend, he didn't know what to do.

A large number of zombies appeared on the way.. They simultaneously raised their rotten heads towards Arthas and his followers, approaching him."For the Light!"", Alsace roared angrily, urging his horse to charge into the group of corpses. He swung his hammer and roared wildly, venting his anger and frustration on these living targets. During a certain break in the battle, he looked around. A black shadow Drifting outside the battlefield,"Kel'Thuzad, over there, over there!"Arthas shouted. Jaina and Xavier also discovered him. The fireball roared towards Kel'Thuzad accompanied by the holy light. The fire burned on Kel'Thuzad,"Hit?"When Xavier was doubting, the figure disappeared again. It turned out to be just a fantasy. When Kel'Thuzad appeared again, Arthas was already standing in front of him. Full of anger, he burst out in an instant, and he used his brilliance to force people into the eyes. With the backhand of the war hammer, he then swung a powerful blow parallel to the ground, hitting Kel'Thuzad's knee and knocking him away. Others immediately pressed forward, cutting and slashing with countless swords. People poured out their grief and fury on this The initiator of disaster.

Despite Kel'Thuzad's powerful magic, he was still like an ordinary person when he fell. With blood at the corner of his mouth, he spat out his last words while alive,"Ignorant... idiot," he swallowed hard,"My death can't change anything... now... the punishment of this land... has begun."When Kel'Thuzad died, his body began to rot immediately. It usually takes days for a dead body to disintegrate, but this time, it only took a few seconds. The flesh and blood became rotten, swollen, and then exploded. People gasped A breath of cold air, covering their mouths and noses and turning away. Some of them couldn't stand the stench of decay and turned around to vomit. Alsace stared blankly, horrified and intoxicated. He couldn't look away. Juice and dead meat gradually softened and turned black, turning into sludge. When this decay process that deviated from the laws of nature finally began to slow down, Alsace turned around and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"If the necromancer does not cast spells accurately, he will look like this after death. Xavier simply stated, then turned around and vomited. Obviously he couldn't stand the disgusting scene in front of him."Everyone is ready to leave for Stratholme immediately!""Alsace gave the order to march quickly again. Xavier looked at Jaina beside him who was so tired that he almost fell off the horse. The guards behind him were also tired from the continuous battles. Even the dwarves, who were known for their bravery, , all gasping for breath. He finally couldn't help it anymore,"Alsace, please look at the troops behind you. They need to rest. If you are marching like this, we will not have the strength to fight against fear when we reach Stratholme." Demon Lord Mal'Ganis."

Looking at Xavier, who was also obeying his words, Alsace roared angrily,"Rest, will those villagers wait for us to rest and turn into living corpses? Can you bear to watch, my people are in despair? Waiting for the salvation of the Holy Light, but in exchange for eternal darkness!"Alsace's roar shocked Xavier. He had never seen Alsace speak to him like this. Although he was only the son of a groom, in his eyes, Alsace was an approachable prince with no identity. And Now Arthas has changed. Although he still represents the Holy Light, he has been tortured almost crazy by the endless plague."Yes, Prince Arthas Menethil, I follow your instructions. Xavier answered respectfully, but he couldn't hide the helplessness and sadness in his heart.
