Chapter 465 Don’t Be Blinded by Hatred
Chapter 465 Don’t Be Blinded by Hatred
The chaotic battlefield gradually became clearer.
As the dark clouds dissipated, Kel'Thuzad's makeshift war fortress was exposed. Without the cover of the storm, and with the thick fog and the path of bones, the Scourge's majestic war cube appeared to be nothing more than a slow-moving target.
Kel'Thuzad led his entire army out, with three frost dragons as the rearguard, and the Plague Dragonflight sacrificed itself to burn the human warships... The dwarven gunboats and goblin airships were forced to retreat... The mortal legion that had forcibly landed on Atonement Island was instantly overthrown.
......
Even with the support and cover of the dwarven gunners, the shield formation of the human soldiers in Southshore was still unable to withstand the Death Knight's charge.
Alexandros & Mograine and Thoras & Trollbane were both top heroes of the human race.
......
The name of Ashbringer once struck fear into the hearts of the Scourge.
......
Thoras, the last king of Stromgarde and the most powerful member of the Thorbane family, once led the Sons of Lothar to break the orcs' formation. The Arathorian Alliance is still fighting against the invasion of the Forsaken and the Defiled Legion in the Arathi Basin.
Stromgarde was once surrounded by enemies on three sides, and half of its army was given to Lothar to retake Stormwind.
On one hand, they had to resist the troll attack from the Hinterlands, and on the other hand, they had to go to Khaz Modan to help the dwarves fight off the orcs... There was also another force that had to go to Alterac to deal with the traitors.
Stromgarde, in fact, saved Lordaeron and Quel'Seraph, and helped the dwarves reclaim the Wetlands... but afterwards, it was the human kingdom that suffered the most severe losses... its elite forces were wiped out, its people fled, and its industries collapsed... It can't all be blamed on Prince Galin's incompetence...
It's no wonder that Galin is unhappy with Stormwind's current disregard and neglect of him.
It was a feeling of anger and pride being trampled and betrayed...
......
Before the Sons of Lothar were formed, Anduin & Lothar were merely the leaders of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, childhood friends of King Llane of Stormwind, and close friends of the legendary archmage Medivh.
It was thanks to Thorbain's support that the 7th Legion, Stormwind's elite veteran army, has earned its current reputation; its core members are former members of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, Stromgarde cavalry, and human rangers...
Stormwind City continued the glory of the Arathorian Empire, which other kingdoms were more or less unconvinced of. Whenever humanity faced a crisis, the nations would still unite to fight against external enemies.
Thoras & Thorbaine, once close friends of the old King Terenas of Lordaeron, like Daelin & Admiral Prodomor of the Kul Tiras navy, devoted themselves to the old Alliance until their dying breath...
Several invincible and valiant old kings were all betrayed by their own eldest sons and daughters... The valiant Mograine, who saved Lordaeron, was betrayed by his eldest son Raynor... He was surrounded by the Scourge and ambushed from behind...
The four human heroes all suffered tragic fates.
Originally the Ashbringer, the leader of the Scarlet Crusade, he was corrupted by the traitor, and the soul of Old Mograine is unable to find peace.
He was originally the last strong human king of Red Stromgarde who stood guard over the Wall of Thoradin. He was assassinated by his own son, who stole the holy sword that symbolized the honor of the Thorbain family, the sword of the human general who was called the 'Troll Slayer'.
Tirenas Menethil II, originally a benevolent monarch and the most powerful king of the human race, was not only killed by Arthas with the cursed sword Frostmourne and beheaded, but his ashes were even made into Kel'Thuzad's casket.
......
Marshal Daelin was killed by Jaina in the name of maintaining peace and ending the cycle of hatred from the previous generation, together with Thrall and other Horde heroes... For this reason, Jaina's inner thoughts are really hard for ordinary people to understand.
Fortunately, Marshal Daelin did not rise from the dead for the time being, leaving behind a shattered Kul Tiras.
The others were still unable to find peace even after death.
Terenas's soul was imprisoned in the cursed sword Frostmourne, suffering daily as she witnessed the great son slaughter his own people and commit countless crimes.
Ashbringer Alexandros & Mograine were resurrected as Death Knights, becoming the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, riding a red warhorse and driven by the Lich King Kel'Thuzad.
Thoras and Trollbane also met their demise... however, there are some differences between the two: no one knows that Thoras was resurrected as a Death Knight.
The Scourge's secret exhumation of the dead and resurrection of them into Scourge puppets was previously carried out clandestinely by subordinate units such as Archerus Keep and Scholomance.
If it weren't for the Tomb of Uther the Lightbringer located near Andorhal, where the Alliance sent elite priests to guard Icewind Valley and the Holy Tomb, the former paladin would have long been captured by the Scourge and resurrected as a new death knight.
The bodies of Thoras & Thorbain should have been in the Stromgarde cemetery. Galin lied, claiming that his father had been infected by the Scourge, and even allowed his father's body to become infected, thus creating an opportunity for Scourge spies.
......
Similar to the resurrected Death Knight puppet in Lorraine, the stronger the resentment, the higher the combat power, and the more experience a human warrior had in life, the more powerful they would be upon resurrection as a Death Knight...
"Soras, stop! Kel'Thuzad is coming..."
Old Mo, who had just stopped the old king from killing Lorraine, had a glint in his eyes... As Kel'Thuzad led his army closer, he whispered to Solas, the newly joined death knight.
Solas & Thorbain, filled with resentment and anger, were initially suppressed and filled with unwillingness, but were stunned by what they heard.
A flicker of doubt crossed its already decaying mind.
"How dare you address the Grand Steward by his name? Alexandres! Even if you are the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, I am not afraid of you... No one can stop my revenge. I will grind that rebellious son to dust! Otherwise, I will not be able to quell the hatred in my heart."
Solas is a recently converted Death Knight. Unlike Morgen, who rode a red skeletal warhorse and was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Solas is a Death Knight who has recently been converted.
Solas, on the other hand, rode an ordinary skeletal warhorse. With the added power of dual-wielding ordinary runic great axes, he was already quite capable of holding his own against Mograine.
Now it seems that while Old Mograine was suppressing him with the Fallen Ashbringer, he could still clearly perceive his surroundings, which is unlike the characteristics of a Scourge puppet. Clearly, the Red Horseman, the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is hiding something. He actually possesses more free will.
It seems like they're putting on a show for the great lich Kel'Thuzad, whom the Holy City has recruited...
"Solas & Trollbane, calm down! You are the monarch of Red Stormgar, a descendant of the Grand General of the Arathor Empire... Do not let hatred and death blind you, we have other missions to fulfill..."
As the two whispered to each other, feigning intimacy, the Faceless One, Born, revealed its true form. It seemed to be secretly feeding, and had now swelled to an overwhelming size.
