Tyrande stared at the World Tree that burst open in the middle, and the huge amount of arcane energy that continuously poured into Zuo Si's body. She fell into a daze, and even her voice trembled.
Because for a night elf like her who had witnessed the Well of Eternity twice, this was really beyond the limits of her understanding.
After all, even during the War of the Ancients, when Queen Azshara, who was known as the most powerful arcane mage in the history of Azeroth, opened a cross-universe portal for the dark titan Sargeras, she had never caused such a horrifying energy riot as the one before her.
The entire Mount Hyjal and even the continent of Kalimdor were shaking with the terrible surge.
It seems that another huge explosion could occur at any time, tearing the entire surface of the world apart, and thousands of lives would disappear completely in this disaster.
But what was unbelievable to everyone was that Zuo Si, who looked so tiny, did not let the energy run wild, nor did he self-explode. Instead, he swallowed and absorbed as much as possible, like a black hole that could never be filled.
On the contrary, the Well of Eternity, which is said to have infinite energy, is glowing with a violet glow and its water level is dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A small bottle of highly concentrated liquid, which could allow a person to gain arcane power beyond that of the Archmage of Dalaran, was now being devoured at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
"My dear, I think we should take everyone away from Mount Hyjal immediately. What is happening here is beyond our ability to handle."
Malfurion looked solemnly at the home that was supposed to belong to the night elves, which was now completely turned into a battlefield between two unimaginably powerful legions. He could no longer remain calm and composed as before, and instead wanted to ask for help from the guardian dragons.
Whether it's the demons of the Burning Legion, the devils from Baator, or the New Phyrexia that constantly sprays shimmering oil and has a very strange appearance that is completely unlike normal creatures, they are simply not something the night elves can deal with on their own and with a small number of allies.
Not to mention dealing with them, even if the other side just allocates a little bit of its forces, they can completely clear out the entire Mount Hyjal in a very short time.
Compared with these guys, they are at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of quantity, quality, magic level, and technical strength.
In particular, the large-scale destructive weapons and spells have destroyed the entire ecological structure of Mount Hyjal in just half an hour. The lush green forest has now completely turned into a scorched earth.
The fire from Baator Hell is gushing out from the ground, emitting a breath of evil and filth, mixing with black, red and blue oils, continuously invading and contaminating everything it can touch.
Mixed with it is a large pool of flames composed of green evil energy.
Even the elemental plane sealed by the Titans and their guardians was torn open by the violent energy shock.
From time to time, fire elementals and lava giants would emerge from the boiling magma, roaring and trying to ignite everything around them.
It's a pity that in this war, just a few hundred large elements or even giant elemental creatures could not cause any waves.
Not to mention ordinary elements, even if the Fire Lord Nag'tharos himself came, he would only be pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly.
After all, he was a useless person who couldn't even defeat the Ancient Gods, and finally succumbed to their tyranny.
How could they possibly achieve any results against the Burning Legion that had killed countless Old Gods, and the Demon Legion that was completely immune to fire damage?
The most important thing is that Malfurion now has no bargaining chips to restrain Archimonde, and of course he has no way to deal with Zuo Si who is frantically absorbing energy from the Well of Eternity.
Therefore, in this situation where you know you are no match for the enemy, the most rational approach is to temporarily retreat to preserve your strength and call on allies.
The biggest difference between Malfurion Stormrage and his brother Illidan is that he rarely gets angry or emotional when making important decisions.
The latter are sometimes very susceptible to strong emotional factors such as anger, and then make some almost crazy and consequence-free actions.
Tyrande nodded without hesitation at her husband's suggestion: "You are right, Mount Hyjal has become too dangerous.
We must retreat to Darkshore or beyond.
Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that these terrifying forces of unknown origin are hostile to the demons of the Burning Legion.
Especially the guy who is drawing energy from the Well of Eternity. He is probably more powerful than any enemy we have seen before.
I couldn't even imagine how terrifying and invincible he would become if he really drained all the energy inside.
Most importantly, we know nothing about those demon-like creatures and those monsters covered in metal armor."
"So the top priority is to find out where they come from and what they want to do to Azeroth."
After saying this, Malfurion raised the wooden staff in his hand and gave the order to retreat to the raptor druids who had transformed into birds and were scouting the edge of the battlefield which was still expanding outward.
After a while, the night elf army hidden in the forest and their human, tauren, treant, chimera and bear monster allies quickly evacuated Mount Hyjal along the winding mountain road.
Not only that, the druids also united to block all exits leading to the outside world, attempting to delay or even prevent the warring parties from expanding the war to the entire Kalimdor continent.
But unfortunately, this is clearly wishful thinking.
Whether it is the devil who has the ability to teleport and fly, or the New Phyrexia that can produce a large number of aircraft anytime and anywhere, they can easily overcome geographical barriers.
In fact, at this stage of the Third War, it no longer had anything to do with these native creatures.
From this moment on, their fate no longer depends on themselves.
Just as the night elves completely withdrew from Mount Hyjal, Zuo Si's side had almost drained most of the energy from the Well of Eternity, which was originally overflowing with energy. Only a little bit of magical water compressed by high-concentration arcane energy remained near the bottom. The World Tree blessed by the guardian dragon also completely withered and died, turning into ashes that drifted away in the wind in the center of the battlefield.
Such a huge amount of energy not only directly raised the level of his Planeswalker Spark to LV35, but also directly established a stable connection with the even more powerful energy inside the planet Azeroth.
Through this connection, Zuo Si could clearly feel that the Star Soul had vaguely awakened its vague consciousness, as well as the Star Soul's strong fear of him.
There is no doubt that the star soul of Azeroth is very close to the planetary will awakened by the magic of life on the plane of Zendikar.
The only difference is that the planetary will of Zendikar has the power to set off horrific supernatural disasters, which are then manifested through earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, anti-gravity, and churning.
The star soul of Azeroth is still in the gestation stage and is unable to control the enormous energy it possesses.
Moreover, this self-awareness is very vague, and any external interference may affect its future growth.
This is also the reason why the Void forces sent out the Ancient Gods to corrupt the Star Souls.
As long as these void creatures continue to go deeper into the center of the earth and continuously inject shadow energy into it, the huge arcane energy of the star soul will gradually be transformed into shadow energy.
In fact, Azeroth has been showing signs of being transformed due to the continuous efforts of several Old Gods.
Around the crust and mantle outside the earth's core, you can clearly feel a ring-shaped shadow energy belt.
It is the existence of these shadow energies that allows the residents of the planet to cast various shadow spells.
Fortunately, the arrival of the Titans interrupted this continuous transformation and established strong defenses in the core area.
At the same time, the ancient gods were killed or sealed one after another.
Right now they are like parasites suppressed by drugs. Although they are not completely dead yet, they can no longer cause any big waves.
Even if the seal is successfully broken, it will become extremely weak after being sealed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
No wonder C'Thun was eventually killed by a group of mortals.
Because the Titans cut off the direct connection between the Old Gods and the circular shadow energy belt, their power is far from that of the most prosperous period of the Dark Empire.
To be exact, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Whether it is Kil'jaeden or Archimonde, they can easily crush and defeat the minions sent by these void forces.
Apart from nagging and misleading people, he does not pose any substantial threat.
After comforting and soothing the trembling star soul and assuring him that he had no ill intentions and just wanted to absorb some energy, Zuo Si reluctantly glanced at the little water left in the Well of Eternity and stopped.
The reason why it was not drained in one breath was mainly because after it was drained, the portal to Argus would be closed instantly due to the lack of huge energy support.
By then, it will not be possible to conquer, occupy and plunder more planets through the inter-universe portal system built by the Burning Legion.
In addition, he has always advocated sustainability and exhausting the resources, so he will not destroy a world as a price to replenish his lost mana like the old dragon Nicol Bolas.
Therefore, keeping the Well of Eternity under one's complete control and allowing it to continuously produce energy is what a far-sighted Planeswalker should do.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si took out a kettle made of special materials, filled the bottom of the Well of Eternity with water, and directly made it into a planeswalker card.
[Treasure Card: Water from the Well of Eternity]
[LV20 blue card (cannot be upgraded)]
[Card Quality: Precious]
[Effect: After this card is activated, the planeswalker can obtain a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity in Azeroth.
The well water is composed of high-concentration arcane energy. Just one drop can instantly replenish 300 points of blue mana, or allow a legendary wizard to instantly restore all magical power and spell slots.
Similarly, it can also be used as an energy-gathering prop to create a magic gathering point in any world with abundant magical energy.
But be careful when doing this.
Because the gathered energy may conflict with the arcane energy of the Well of Eternity, triggering a horrific storm that can destroy everything.
When all the well water is consumed, the card will automatically enter the cemetery and will be reborn within five hundred days.
If there is a land card linked to the Well of Eternity, the respawn time will be shortened to one minute (this kettle just automatically goes to the Well of Eternity to refill a kettle of water, that's all)]
[You don't need to pay any mana to use this card]
"Haha, the Well of Eternity, the Well of the Sun, maybe I can consider building more similar locations on the magic network nodes throughout Azeroth, so as to better develop the huge energy inside this planet."
Zuo Si pursed his lips and revealed undisguised happiness.
He had reaped a lot of rewards in just a short time since his arrival, which was well worth the time and energy he had spent planning this invasion.
The most important thing is that this is just the beginning! You must know that the Well of Eternity is only a small part of the energy that overflowed when the Titans destroyed the most powerful Ancient God, A'Shaarj, causing collateral damage to the Star Soul.
The so-called "magic net" surrounding the surface of this planet is the real source of overflowing energy.
What's more, the Well of Eternity in Mount Hyjal was created by Illidan using the water from the first Well of Eternity, and is not directly connected to the interior of the planet.
Instead, the huge whirlpool located in the endless sea between the east and west continents is the real connection point leading to the location of the center of the earth's star soul.
This means that Azeroth still has huge potential that has not been developed.
In addition, considering that the Burning Legion, the Titan Pantheon, the Shadow Realm, the Life Force, the Holy Light Army, and the Void Force are all eager to train and transform "Ai-chan", why can't Zuo Si do the same? He has learned the extremely powerful life magic from his cheap teacher Sorin Markov, which can directly awaken and strengthen the consciousness of a planet.
And a star soul that is still in a state of confusion is precisely the most perfect carrier of this magic.
However, before that, the thoughts and consciousness of Azeroth's native intelligent creatures need to be transformed.
Given the fact that Star Souls are easily influenced by the outside world, they are undoubtedly the most critical part in shaping the Titans' personality, thoughts and behavior patterns.
As for those old gods who were still whispering, Zuo Si planned to turn around and deal with them all after dealing with the Burning Legion.
He is not like those Titans who have strength but lack supernatural powers. They cannot even deal with a few parasites and can only vent their brute force unscrupulously.
Pulling the Ancient Gods directly from the depths of the planet? What a foolish thing to do! The crustal collapse caused by the tearing alone would be enough to trigger geological disasters, climate change, and mass extinction of life that would affect the entire planet.
All Zuo Si has to do is to find these ancient gods, and then use the spark of the planeswalker to directly draw out the huge shadow energy in their bodies.
He himself has never had any prejudice when it comes to the properties of energy.
Arcane is energy, fel energy is energy, holy light is energy, death is energy, life is energy, and shadow is no exception.
Anyway, as long as the characteristics of its own spark exist, it can transform energy properties at will.
It's just that some of it will be lost in the conversion process.
After putting away the cards he had prepared, Zuo Si once again looked at Archimonde and asked meaningfully, "I think I have proven myself. Is it your turn to express your opinion now?"
The Defiler instantly regained consciousness from his dazed state, dragged his huge body to the ground on one knee, saluted the human in front of him who was not even as big as his toe, and replied: "Of course! It is my honor to leave the Legion and become your adjutant."
"Hahahaha! Great! I knew you were a smart person and knew when to make the right choice."
Zuo Si laughed and applauded the other party for being able to see the current situation.
After all, betrayal, especially betrayal of a Dark Titan who is countless times more powerful than oneself and capable of killing oneself, requires not only a keen eye but also tremendous courage.
"Your generous promise is something Sargeras will never give me. For this, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and help you defeat the Legion and become the undisputed conqueror and ruler of the entire physical universe."
Archimonde lowered his head and showed his most humble side, just as he had done when he accepted the fel power and pledged allegiance to Sargeras.
Zuo Si nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! But I have a small question. How do you ensure your loyalty?"
"How do you want me to prove it?"
Archimonde raised his head and asked back in an uncertain tone.
As an Eredar demon who had personally led legions to invade countless worlds, he was no stranger to the idea of having to surrender after betrayal, nor was he surprised.
If the identities were reversed, he would also ask the other party to do something to prove his loyalty.
"It's very simple, you just need to accept the transformation of Shuo Oil.
Don't worry, this isn't some kind of violent transformation, it's just a necessary measure to ensure you'll never betray.
And after the transformation, your power will become even stronger, even surpassing Kil'jaeden, who is also the highest-ranking commander of the Burning Legion, in all aspects."
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and summoned a new Phyrexian aircraft, from which he took out a container full of sparkling oil.
"What if I say no?"
When Archimonde saw this scene, his face changed drastically and he immediately stood up and took several steps back.
He was not a fool. He had long discovered how strange and abnormal the demons were after being infected and transformed by the sparkling oil. So he was wary and resistant to this extremely dangerous unknown substance from the bottom of his heart.
“It’s okay to refuse.
I can also offer a second option.
That is complete submission from both physical and psychological aspects.
Note that this is not superficial surrender.
I'll use a spell to test it.
If you ever have any thought of resisting, I will stuff the oil into your body, inject it into your veins and heart.
Remember, you only have one chance."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si soared into the air and flew straight towards the Polluter's huge head.
When he came closer, he stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the latter's forehead.
Archimonde felt an unprecedented fear, as if the slightest movement would be immediately and mercilessly drained like the Well of Eternity.
In order to avoid such a terrible outcome, he even forced and hypnotized himself not to have any thoughts of resistance.
Zuo Si, who was proficient in psychology and good at reading other people's thoughts and memories, obviously noticed this. A hint of subtle sinisterness and cunning flashed in his eyes, and he instantly activated the power of the Planeswalker Spark.
The next second...
A huge magic barrier directly wrapped the polluter from head to toe and began to shrink continuously.
By the time he came to his senses, it was too late.
"No! What do you want to do? This is not the condition we agreed on before!"
Archimonde began to struggle frantically and cast shadow and fel spells, trying to tear the barrier apart and escape.
But unfortunately, Zuo Si's spark had just been upgraded and strengthened, and the most critical part of the sealing process had been completed. No matter how he struggled, it was of no avail.
After a while, the terrified face was printed on the summoning card.
After everything was settled, Zuo Si fiddled with the card in his hand that was filled with ability descriptions, and said jokingly in a voice that only he could hear: "Sorry, this is the condition I agreed with you. It's just that my meaning may be slightly different from your understanding. But fortunately, we can finally reach a consensus now."
Before he finished speaking!
He directly merged the Shining Oil in his hand with the creature card that summoned Archimonde.
The picture on the card instantly changed from a terrified face to a stern face with half of its face covered by a mechanical mask, and the blinded eye was replaced by a huge electronic compound eye.
As for the skin and muscles of the body, they are replaced by large areas of metal and complex mechanical structures.
The palms of two of the metal arms are equipped with energy cannons that can emit powerful evil energy or shadow shocks.
It only takes one strike to produce a terrifying force that can cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split.
The surface of its body was shining with a dazzling silver light, and if you didn't know it, you would think it was a newly born Titan.
[Creature Card: Follower - Archimonde (Eredar Demon, Completed)]
[LV23 multi-color card (upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Unique]
[Effect: Summon "The Polluter" Archimonde who has been fully transformed by the Sparkling Oil to serve you (the initial level is LV40 Legion Overlord, the level and strength will continue to increase with battles and killings, and the maximum cap is LV100) until he is killed.
He not only possesses all the memories, knowledge and power of his lifetime, but also many powerful magics, including Legion's Grasp, Fire of Destruction, Air Blast, Finger of Death, Soul Charge, Hand of Death, Roar of Terror, Life Drain, Mana Drain and so on.
At the same time, he can also summon the Burning Legion demons he has transformed himself to form a legion.
Moreover, during the process of transformation, he completely transformed his body into an energy weapon with astonishing power.
Especially when the energy cannons in the left and right palms are combined together, with the additional bonus provided by the oil engine overload, they can instantly release the destructive power to destroy a continent or even a planet.
However, after using it, Archimonde will fall into a weak state until he gets enough energy to replenish.
Starting from the initial level, every three levels up will gain a full range of bonuses from basic attributes to energy limits.
As long as the planeswalker has learned shadow, fel, and death magic, he can learn it randomly during the upgrade process.
[To use this card, you need to pay 100 blue, 100 red, and 100 black mana, or 300 universal mana]
[When Archimonde dies, the card will be reborn in the graveyard for 600 days]
There is no doubt that Archimonde is a typical pure spellcaster who combines shadow, arcane and fel energy. To some extent, he can also be called a destruction warlock.
After all, his teacher, Sachir, was the first person in recorded history to study fel magic.
Although he is not as famous as the orc warlock Gul'dan, he started a rebellion on the planet Argus by summoning demons in an attempt to establish an empire of his own.
It's a pity that he was betrayed by Archimonde, a traitor, and was eventually defeated and killed.
It was by killing his own teacher that he gained the same status as Velen and Kil'jaeden and became the supreme leader of the entire race.
Therefore, loyalty never exists for polluters.
But it is undeniable that this guy's strength is absolutely beyond doubt. Even among all followers and summoned creatures, he can definitely be ranked among the top few.
It is estimated that he is second only to the Immortal Evil God Baal and the Sun Knight Davian.
As for the powerful monk Balthazar, the two may be evenly matched, it just depends on who can get the upper hand.
Without any hesitation, Zuo Si directly paid the mana to summon the minion he had just created.
In a flash!
Archimonde, who suddenly disappeared from the battlefield, reappeared in everyone's sight in a new form.
The Burning Legion demons, who were originally in a panic, showed expressions of shock and disbelief when they saw the highest commander on the front line turned into such a horrible state.
But before they could figure out the situation, Archimonde's electronic compound eye embedded in his eye socket suddenly released a terrifying red light.
Just less than 0.1 second later, dozens of energy beams shot out directly from the compound eyes, sweeping along the defense line that the Burning Legion had set up with great difficulty.
The defense line built by more than 100,000 giant hellfires collapsed in an instant.
To be precise, it was cut into countless pieces of stone emitting green evil flames.
Their sturdy bodies were completely useless against the cutting of this energy beam, just like a knife cutting through butter.
Any obstacles that stood in the way of these red energy beams were either cut in half or evaporated on the spot, leaving behind not even a trace of body fragments or residue.
Archimonde's sudden attack on "his own people" undoubtedly made the demon lords of the Burning Legion unable to hold back.
Azgalor, the Abyss Lord who replaced Mannoroth, immediately moved his big butt to the master he was loyal to and shouted at the top of his voice: "My lord, are you crazy? That's our army!"
"Crazy? No, I'm not crazy. I just suddenly became a little more sober."
After saying that, Archimonde showed a creepy smile, and then grabbed the Abyss Lord by the neck and lifted the fat Abyss Lord up from the ground.
Although Azgallo's size seemed huge enough to outsiders, to him he was like a little chicken.
“Cough cough cough cough cough—you…what are you doing? Let me go…let me go. I am your most loyal subordinate.”
Under the terrifying grip of the pair of giant metal hands, the Lord of the Abyss felt as if the air in his lungs had been completely squeezed out. The intense feeling of suffocation made his chest feel as if a fire was on fire, causing him extreme pain and discomfort.
"No, you are not loyal enough. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have found a new way to ensure loyalty."
Archimonde suddenly raised a finger and stabbed it into Azgalor's heart with a "pop".
The huge amount of evil energy in the latter's body suddenly began to flow outward uncontrollably, and his entire body began to emit emerald green light, and it seemed that it was about to explode.
But when the sparkling oil is injected into it, the overflowing energy is quickly absorbed and used to transform the body.
After a while, the shimmering oil devoured the armor worn by the Abyss Lord and the double-headed sword in his hands.
At the same time, the originally fat body became slimmer and slimmer in the process of continuous dismemberment and reorganization, and finally presented a semi-mechanical body like a sturdy centaur.
The only difference is the steel whip-like tail behind it.
After confirming that Azgalor had irreversibly become a servant under his control, Archimonde immediately turned his attention to the demon lords who were commanding their legions in battle not far away.
There is no doubt that transforming a mere Abyss Lord could not satisfy his appetite, so he strode towards the next target.
At this moment, even the dumbest guy realized that the Legion's highest-ranking commander, the Polluter, had completely turned into an extremely terrifying enemy, just like those imps, hellhounds, and succubi that were stained with the sparkling oil.
Wherever they passed, they were either slaughtered mercilessly or turned into half-flesh, half-mechanical monsters by the spraying oil.
"Damn it! This is going to be a big trouble!"
The Doomsday Lord Kazzak couldn't help but curse in a low voice, waving the super giant sword in his hand to instantly cut down a large number of New Phyrexian creatures that rushed up, and at the same time cast shadow magic to protect himself to avoid the splashing sparkling oil from getting on himself.
As the senior commander after Kil'jaeden and Archimonde, he was obviously well aware that Mount Hyjal had completely become the Legion's graveyard.
Unless the dark titan Sargeras comes in person, no matter how many troops are sent in, it will be of no use.
Because the enemy had already built a giant pocket formation with the overwhelming number of thirty portals.
It is like a huge flesh and blood mill, constantly consuming the vitality of the legion.
If things continue like this, even if all the elite troops from Argus were transferred here, it would be of no use.
What's even worse is that as Zuo Si absorbed most of the energy from the Well of Eternity, the Legion portal could not be expanded in a short period of time and could only barely maintain the status quo.
This means that those huge space fleets and space fortresses cannot come here at all, and the dark titan Sargeras himself cannot pass through the portal.
"What should we do now? Retreat?"
Another demon lord of a similar level also showed a painful and conflicted expression.
After all, invading and occupying Azeroth has been the Burning Legion's highest priority strategic goal in the past ten thousand years, and Sargeras himself has used every possible means.
Now that I have finally gotten in, I naturally cannot give up easily.
Even if the demons wanted to retreat, Sargeras would not allow it.
But if they don't retreat, what awaits them is being killed here one after another.
If you are not careful, your soul may be captured and sealed, unable to return to the twisting void and wait for resurrection.
Those horrible black, red and blue greases were something the Burning Legion had never encountered before. They could actually transform the enemy into cannon fodder directly on the battlefield.
Kazzak raised his hand and released a group of shadow arrows, destroying more than thousands of suicide flying units that dived from overhead. He shook his head with a grim expression: "No, we can't retreat, otherwise Lord Sargeras will twist off our heads. But this is not a solution. We must report the extremely bad situation here to the Burning Throne."
"I have already sent someone there. Lord Kil'jaeden should be able to make the corresponding adjustments soon."
A dreadlord shouted in response.
It was not difficult to tell from the panic-stricken expressions on their faces that Zuo Si's invasion completely disrupted the plans of these spies from the Shadow Realm and the masters behind them.
After all, in the eyes of the Dreadlord, no matter how powerful the Burning Legion is, it is controllable and transparent to him.
But these intruders of unknown origin are completely unknown.
Moreover, from the evil and filthy aura emanating from his body, it can be judged that the other party is definitely not a good person.
It is very likely that they are a group of guys who are more troublesome than the demons of the Burning Legion.
"Very good! Continue to hold our ground. The portal is our last line of defense and must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Also, throw all the undead of the Scourge to the front. They are of no use to us now anyway."
Kazak sentenced the undead to death in an extremely cold tone.
Like Archimonde, he never looked down on the Lich King, Ner'zhul, and he didn't think there was any value in keeping the Scourge, a group of people with no strength and whose numbers were only a fraction of the Burning Legion.
It must be said that when this order was conveyed to the dreadlords, Arthas, who already looked unhappy, fell into a rage. He tightly grasped Frostmourne in his hand and growled, "Assholes! These damn demons are just using us as cannon fodder to stop the enemy's advance! What should we do? At this rate, our undead army will soon be consumed. Especially those fats, which can even infect and control the undead."
"I think it's time for us to make a choice."
After a long silence, the Archlich Kel'Thuzad finally slowly revealed Ner'zhul's latest decision.
Obviously, with Zuo Si's interference, they can no longer escape unscathed without obviously betraying the Burning Legion as in the original timeline, and retreat to the plague-infected area of the eastern continent to regroup.
Whether it is the sparkling oil or the undead spells cast by the devils, they can, to a certain extent, seize control of low-level or even high-level undead creatures.
Kel'Thuzad himself witnessed with his own eyes that an entire team of death knights turned against their allies under the influence of the necromancy magic of the pit fiends and scorpion fiends, and turned around and rushed into the group of imps of the Burning Legion to kill them indiscriminately.
It is precisely because of this situation that they may be controlled at any time that the demons' sense of the undead becomes worse and worse, and they even have the urge to completely wipe them out with the help of the enemy.
It has to be said that for them, who have always liked to use plague to turn the living into the dead, now encountering the even more unreasonable Shuo You and the necromancy from another universe, it is simply a living retribution.
"You mean..."
Arthas suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a piercing cold light.
Kel'Thuzad nodded slightly: "Yes, it is what you think. We must leave Mount Hyjal. The scale and intensity of the war here are far beyond what the Scourge can bear. We need to return to the eastern continent or even Northrend."
"But what can we do? As you can see, the enemy has completely surrounded Mount Hyjal from the sky to the land. Now not even a gargoyle can fly out."
As he spoke these words, Arthas' tone was filled with regret and anger.
After all, when he uprooted Frostmourne, it was for the pursuit of the powerful power contained in the sword, and for a long time afterwards he firmly believed that the Lich King and the power of death he possessed were the most powerful forces in the world.
But what is the result?
First, we learned that the so-called Lich King was just a cowardly, useless old orc who kept failing. Then we learned that the Lich King was born to serve another more powerful force - the Burning Legion.
That huge feeling of psychological gap was like a thorn, stuck in the prince's heart and couldn't be pulled out.
Even with Ner'zhul's constant whispering and brainwashing every day, he was unable to make this personally selected Death Knight obey his will as he did at the beginning, and often had to use more mental power to control him.
You know, Arthas is a very proud person.
This can be seen from the fact that he does not take the High Elf Prince Kael'thas seriously at all.
But now, he was ordered around by the demons like a slave, and he was not allowed to complain at all. How could he endure this for long?
As a lich loyal to death, Kel'Thuzad was clearly aware of Arthas' current state, and immediately responded in a low voice: "As long as our current enemies are no longer enemies."
"You mean..."
Arthas understood something instantly, and a bone-chilling chill emanated from his entire body.
"Yes, it's just as you thought. Since the Burning Legion's ship is about to sink, why don't we jump off the ship or just switch to another one?"
After saying this, Kel'Thuzad instantly cast a spell to create an illusion of a clone that was exactly like himself, and then with the help of invisibility, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
What he had to do was very simple, which was to surrender to the new strong man using the entire Scourge Legion as a bargaining chip in exchange for the other party letting him go.
For this reason, the Lich King, Ner'zhul, was even willing to serve his new master as a servant, just as he served the Burning Legion.
