Warcraft novel series

"Xavier, Jaina, and Uther haven't caught up with them yet," Arthas shouted on his horse."I think they will follow, Arthas, you should……""enough! I've had enough of these orders!"When these words came out, even he was as surprised as Xavier."What happened here is really terrible, Xavier. I simply don't know how to describe it. Now I'm doing everything I can to save it. If you're not going to support my decision, you don't need to be here. He looked at Xavier and his expression softened:"You have done your best, maybe you and Jaina should go back.""Although Alsace tried his best to control his emotions, Xavier still felt uncomfortable. He didn't want to cause a rift in his friendship with Alsace because of this incident, but he clearly felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

"I will stay and witness your moment of victory with everyone." Si was very angry,"Uther went too far. Doesn't he understand that the wider the poisonous bread is transmitted, the more people will be killed and our enemies will become stronger? Doesn't it mean that people's lives are in his eyes?" It's not important at all!"Don't be like this, Arthas. I think Uther will definitely follow. Please trust him.""I know I can't catch Mal'Ganis by myself. But - Jaina, I just can't sit idly by - repairing my armor safely and setting up camp to rest, do you understand?" Jaina clicked. Nodding is a kind of recognition for him.

Dark clouds covered the sun, making the originally smoky gray dawn even darker. It started to rain and it was freezing cold. Arthas, Xavier, and Jaina all turned over the hoods of their cloaks and put them on, but this did not make their clothes much dry. When he arrived at the gate of the huge city, Xavier couldn't help but tremble a little. He suddenly felt that he shouldn't be here at all. The inexplicable panic made him almost unable to control himself. Xavier barely controlled himself because he didn't want Alsace to see his panic. Almost at the same time as they reined in their horses, Xavier heard a sound behind him and turned around to see Uther and his subordinates coming along the muddy dirt road. Arthas' mood had just improved a little, and he turned to Uther with a sarcastic smile.

"I'm glad you arrived in time, Uther."Uther is a good-tempered man, but this time he has an attack."You are not the only one who is under pressure, boy! You are a prince, but as a paladin, I am your commander!"It seems that I forgot," Alsace retorted. Alsace walked to the high slope and looked at the city, as if everything was normal,"Listen Uther, about natural disasters——"

The cold wind carried a faint sweet smell from the city. The smell was so familiar to him, the smell of bread made from voodoo grains."Holy Light, is it too late?" Alsace's eyes widened. An inexplicable helplessness came to my heart,"Those people are all infected."""Alsace, they are okay now and there is still hope." Xavier also smelled the smell in the wind."Yes, they are okay now, but they will soon become zombies and our enemies. So," Alsace After a pause, his eyes suddenly turned vicious, and he said word by word,"I want to purify the entire Stratholme!"Xavier backed up and almost sat down on the ground. He thought he heard wrongly.

"You actually think so? cried Uther, striding towards his former student."There must be another way." This is not a wormy apple, this is a whole city of living people!"Uther's argument was of no use to Xavier. He understood that Alsace had made up his mind at this moment, and he himself began to waver. What should he do, watching thousands of people die? , this is not what a priest should do. Xavier was extremely conflicted.

"Yes, this is a crazy decision, but it is absolutely necessary. The innocent infected people were turned into murderous demons by natural disasters. The only option is to eliminate them all."Arthas's face became so terrifying, and his red eyes were filled with bloodthirsty impulses. Uther and Jaina were both shocked."No, they are just innocent victims. Maybe they are not infected yet, and Hope of treatment."Jaina almost shouted, trying to save those lives. However, Arthas made him desperate. He had already rushed over and knocked on the door of Stratholme."Arthas! Don’t you think what you’re doing is going too far? What’s the difference between you and a devil by unilaterally acquiring the lives of innocent people! This scolding from Xavier only received a sneer from Alsace,"You can be a coward, and the Holy Light will forgive a groom's son for escaping from battle.""

From this moment on, Xavier knew that their friendship was completely over, and he chose to leave without hesitation. This kind of Alsace is no longer the Alsace it used to be. It's just that it's wrapped in crazy hatred and is no different from a devil. It's just that When he turned around, he found two lines of tears streaking across his cheeks. Next he saw Uther and Jaina making the same choice. Although he didn't know what Arthas said, he was sure that he was equally hurt. Their hearts. Behind them, Stratholme turned into a battlefield of slaughter. The neighing of horses and the clang of weapons were endless, but Xavier just pretended that he heard nothing. All he heard was the sound of broken friendship.

Three days later , when Xavier walked on the streets of Stratholme. This was once a proud city, the glory of Northern Lordaeron, but now it has become the source of nightmares. The stench was simply unbearable. Xavier tried his best to cover his nose , but it has little effect. The fire should have been extinguished due to the exhaustion of fuel, or at least weakened a little, but on the contrary, the whole city is still raging, obviously there is magic here. The rancid smell is mixed in the thick smoke, irritating His eyes and throat. They remained in the same posture as when they died, most of them unarmed. Jaina carefully stepped over the swollen body, feeling a little dazed, tears filling her eyes and sliding down her cheeks. Arthas and his soldiers, with their mistaken"mercy", did not even spare the children. Seeing this scene, Xavier couldn't help crying.

Arthas was gone, led by his hatred to Northrend The road that the evil fear demon Mal'Ganis led to the unknown destruction. Xavier did not want to stay in this place full of death for a long time. When he was about to leave this heart-wrenching dead city, the crows that had been circling It flew in front of him, and it began to grow and transform. In an instant, a person stood up where the crow had been. the prophet who warned

"The dead in this land will lie quiet for the time being, but don't let that fool you. Your prince will find only death in the cold north."The prophet's cold predictions started again. Xavier was a little panicked, but he knew that everything he heard would be true. So he began to ask questions,"I want to save the people here, please tell me what should be done."The prophet shook his head, and his charitable face began to become sad,"Jaina has followed my prophecy and led people to the distant western continent of Kalimdor, which is destined to become the paradise of the dead.""but!"The prophet seemed to have discovered something again. He reached out and gently touched Xavier's necklace, and the necklace seemed to respond to him by emitting a faint blue light. Xavier was frightened by what he saw, but he did not stop it. Until the prophet speaks again

"Young priest, you have unknown power from ancient times. Although I don’t know where he comes from yet, he still can’t change your destiny. You will live in another form. Maybe soon you will become the whole of Azeroth. Savior, remember to believe in the power in your heart at all times, even death cannot make him change."When Xavier was still about to ask something, the shape of the prophet changed and shrank again, and turned into a huge black bird. It flapped its wings and flew away. For some reason, the air flow from the black wings blew over him. There was no smell of decay, smoke or death in his face. It smelled pure and fresh.

Arthas stubbornly came to Northrend, and his anger led him to obey the illusory call. When he pulled up his name Everything changed when he took the magic sword of Frostmourne. The splashing ice on the Ice Throne killed his former teacher Muradin Bronzebeard, but Arthas did not have any sadness. He was fighting to obtain enough He felt ecstatic about the power of killing Mal'Ganis, although this would also be the beginning of his fall. When he finally killed the Dread Lord Mal'Ganis with Frostmourne in his hand, the green blood spurted out, making him extremely ecstatic. , Alsace's once golden hair turned as pale as snow at this moment, and his once simple and pure eyes were now shining with evil sparks.

When Alsace returned in triumph with his army, Xavier did not Following the citizens, he went out to greet him. This cruel victory made him unaware that this was the prince he once knew. Staying at his own farm, smelling the rare fragrance of the peace of mind flower, Xavier felt a little relaxed.

In the palace, Arthas shouted to his father, King Terenas Menethil,"Finally, you no longer have to worry about the sacrifices of your people, and you no longer have to worry about the responsibility of the crown. I will take over everything.". When the cold Frostmourne pierced his father's chest, Arthas truly became a death knight at this moment. He led his men out of the palace and killed the citizens who welcomed him. Everyone met their death at this happiest moment. No one could figure out why the prince they once loved and worshiped turned into a murderous demon. Except Xavier.

The fluctuations in magic had told him that death was coming, and he chose to face it fearlessly. He wanted to question his former friend Arthas whether this was the justice he wanted, but he had no chance. When Alsace rode the Invincible horse with only a skeleton left in front of Xavier, Xavier let out a low cry. With Invincible's eyes spraying blue flames, Xavier clearly felt a death signal."You are finally here, and meeting me with Invincible in this way may be the last time." Alsace did not speak, and his cold eyes revealed a faint blue flame, as if his whole body was wrapped in cold and condensed. into a light layer of frost. The runes on Frostmourne shone brighter and brighter, drawing a gorgeous arc and piercing Xavier's body. His consciousness gradually moved away from Xavier. In the gradually darkness, Xavier finally saw the entanglement clearly. In his dream, the man standing in front of Icecrown Citadel was Menethil Arthas.
