Chapter 454 Solas & Thorbain
Solas & Thorbehn...
This name may not be familiar to the general public, but when it comes to the last king of Red Stormgard, the human warrior king of the Thorbain family of Stromgarde with extremely high combat power, no old noble in the Alliance knows him.
Thoras was a close friend of the old King of Lordaeron, the benevolent monarch Tyrese & Menethil II, and a staunch supporter of Lordaeron forming an alliance to fight the orcs.
After defeating the orcs, Thoras directly demanded the division of the land of the traitorous Alterac Kingdom, and even opposed the establishment of orc internment camps, believing that the orcs should be exterminated to prevent future troubles.
The virtuous and benevolent ruler of Lordaeron had a disagreement with his close friend, which led to an unpleasant argument. Later, when the Scourge and plague struck, Thoras disregarded the bonds of the Alliance and returned alone to Stromgarde...
Amidst suspicion, distrust, and division, the seven human kingdoms crumbled... the Old Alliance of Lordaeron disintegrated from within... and the Scourge wreaked havoc on humanity.
The demons in the shadows seized the opportunity to invade, leading to the world-ending defense of Mount Hyjal... Fortunately, Archimonde the Defiler unexpectedly failed at the World Tree, the Burning Legion was defeated again, and the Scourge undead took the opportunity to rebel, leading to the subsequent situation.
......
Little did anyone know that in the ensuing battle against the uncontrollable plague, Thoras, like his friend King Tyrese, was betrayed by his own eldest son... Stromgarde never recovered and fell into complete ruin.
That's right, Thoras & Thorbain are Prince Garin's father, the very father who cursed Prince Garin of Stromgarde to never become a true king. He was wounded while fighting the undead, but it wasn't serious at the time.
Under the scrutiny of those with ulterior motives, Garin, in pursuit of the so-called throne, buried his elderly father in the family cemetery of Stromgarde...
Red Stormgarde barely managed to hold off the Scourge's advance into the Wall of Thoradin, but it still couldn't withstand the Forsaken and Defiled Legion from Arathi Basin and the orc-troll alliance in Hammerfall...
And then there were the ogres and Syndicate bandits scattered throughout the lands even before the orc invasion...
With Stormwind's intervention and the combined strength of the dwarves and other newly joined Alliance Night Elves, the human refugees in Refuge Valley were able to barely survive... Humans and the Forsaken repeatedly fought for resource points in Arathi Basin, and generally speaking, the humans won far more often...
However, they couldn't completely defeat the tribes and reclaim the lost territory; they could only provide shelter to the refugees as much as possible...
In this situation, Garin harbored a deep hatred for Stormwind, even insisting, in the name of his father Thoras, that Stromgarde belonged only to the alliance with Lordaeron...
Within Refuge Valley lies a group claiming to be the united army inheriting the ancient Arathi human lineage... In reality, they are composed of Arathi human tribes who refuse to be led by Prince Garin and reinforcements sent by Stormwind...
If it weren't for Master Yuvel's lobbying in the name of Speaker Ansrem before Operation Stormwind, Garin would never have agreed to send troops to Hillsbrad Foothills... Even if he did send troops, he would still use the pretext of becoming the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces to prove that he was the true heir of the Arathor bloodline, the crown prince of Stromgarde, and the Great General of Stromgarde!
Unfortunately, under Lorraine's unexpected manipulation, after defeating Lorraine's first Death Knight legion, the once high-spirited Prince Garin, who had narrowly escaped death several times, was now reduced to a yo-yo in the hands of the Faceless Mayor of Born...
In the infernal dungeon, they endure repeated torment... just as Mayor Bonn prophesied, the traitors will ultimately be judged and punished in the fiery inferno!
......
How did Solas, the old father who resembled his son Garin and one of the Death Knights Lorraine saw at this moment, end up on Atonement Isle? The glory of the Trollbane family of Stromgarde has been completely destroyed! The old father must have been so angry that he rose from his coffin... and was resurrected?
That's incorrect; the statement is flawed. It should be that the son resembles the father...
A pale face, eerie blue eyes, an unidentified crescent-shaped battle axe slung across his back, black armor, and a dashing, skeletal warhorse... Solas has been resurrected as a Death Knight. He is not one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but merely one of the candidates...
In Naxxramas, the death knight instructor Razuvios was originally the most renowned warrior trainer in Stormwind. Kel'Thuzad took a liking to him and had his Cult of the Damned frame him, resulting in Razuvios being hanged for treason...
Without King Varian, Stormwind's political scene was largely comprised of arrogant and foolish nobles...
The instructor's corpse was easily obtained by the cult of the Damned, who even went so far as to hang it to prevent its decomposition... The body was sent to Naxxramas to be performed by the High Lich King, who, with the Lich King's blessing, resurrected the Death Knight instructor Rasúl...
Fueled by resentment and rage, the instructors relentlessly trained new death knights for the Lich King...
......
The Death Knights are the Lich King's most powerful warband, and the cradle of commanders for every mindless undead army... From the fortress of N'Qiraj, the fully charged flying fortress descends upon Atonement Isle, naturally to carry out the Lich King's personal orders...
A floating fortress capable of influencing the temperature of the surrounding air, possessing necromancy magic, disguised in a black storm, accompanied by several skilled death knights—Kel'Thuzad believed this trip was foolproof!
......
Among the outstanding Death Knights, besides Mograine himself, the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, there is also Galin's deceased father, Thoras & Thorbain, who looks familiar to Lorraine.
Similar to Instructor Razuviaus... the bodies of Thoras & Thorbain were stolen from their family tombs and offered to Naxxramas by necromancers in the Shadow Council.
......
Lorraine quickly realized that the death knights he saw before him were different from the death knight commander who had been resurrected in the prison of his runic right eye...
The biggest difference is that figures like the Fallen Ashbringer himself, King Solas of Stromgarde, and Instructor Rasúvios were all originally exceptionally capable and righteous individuals, but were forcibly resurrected and controlled as death knights using their corpses...
They clearly still retain some memories and a degree of intelligence, yet they cannot escape the control of the Lich King's cursed sword and necromancy...
There are several other categories, such as the former Prince Arthas, who became corrupted and took up the Frostmourne cursed sword, transforming into a death knight. He never actually died... or rather, the cursed sword extracted control from his soul, turning the prince into a demon lord with a drastically altered personality...
Such acts of voluntary corruption and transformation include figures like the High Lich Kel'Thuzad and Baron Rivendare...
The eleven Death Knights controlled by Lorraine's necromancer runes differed in that their souls, some good and some bad, were uncontrollably confined by Lorraine to the right eye of the rune. Nourished by the power of vengeful spirits, they slowly grew and strengthened, their bodies reshaped with bones and necromancer power. Even if they died in battle, they could return to Lorraine's right eye and remain there...
This was a difference he was completely unaware of...
This skill is only somewhat similar to that of the first orc death knight, Talon & Bloodlord... Talon was originally an orc who, after dying in battle, caught the eye of Gul'dan, who forcibly extracted his soul and placed it into the body of a human knight, thus creating the first death knight, Talon & Bloodlord...
However, Talon & Bloodseeker is bloodthirsty, cunning, and cruel, and has rebelled multiple times. He is now under the command of Demon Hunter Illidan Egg, hiding in the Black Temple...
It has no loyalty whatsoever...
"My own loyal followers, Deathsworn and Yurev, are still the best... I miss them... In their hearts, I am like the unfailing sun... No Lich King can compare..."
As Lorraine lay sprawled out, lost in thought, he recalled his two strongest Death Knight commanders... It seemed their prestige was still slightly inferior to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse under the Lich King...
While Lorraine was still in a daze, a pale human face was pressed close to his nostrils and eyes, sniffing intently...
