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.
只见卡牌图画瞬间从原本那张惊恐的脸变成了一个半边脸被机械面具覆盖的冷峻模样，其中那只被戳瞎的眼睛也被一颗硕大的电子复眼所取代。
至于身体的皮肤和肌肉则大片大片的金属和复杂机械结构所取代。
其中两只金属手臂的掌心更是被安装上了能量炮，可以发射威力惊人的邪能或暗影冲击。
仅需要一下就能产生天崩地裂的恐怖威力。
体表那闪烁着刺眼光泽的银色幽光，不知道的还以为是某个新诞生的泰坦呢。
【生物牌：随从——阿克蒙德（艾瑞达恶魔，已完化）】
【LV23多色卡牌（可升级）】
【卡牌品质：唯一】
【效果：召唤被烁油完化后的“污染者”阿克蒙德为您服务（初始等级为LV40军团主宰，等级和实力会随着战斗与杀戮而不断提高，最高上限为LV100），直至被杀死为止。
他不仅掌握着生前所有的记忆、知识和力量，包括军团之握、毁灭之火、空气爆裂、死亡一指、灵魂充能、死亡之手、恐惧咆哮、生命汲取、法力汲取等众多强大的魔法。
同时还能把自己亲手完化的燃烧军团恶魔召唤出来构筑一支军团。
而且还在完化过程中把自己的身体彻底变成了拥有惊人威力的能量武器。
尤其是左手和右手掌心的能量炮组合到一起，配合烁油引擎过载所提供的额外加成，可以瞬间释放摧毁一片大陆乃至一个星球的破坏力
不过当用过之后阿克蒙德就会陷入虚弱状态，直至获得足够的能量补充为止。
从初始等级开始，每提升三级将会获得从基础属性到能量上限的全方位加成。
只要旅法师本人学会的暗影、邪能和死亡魔法，他都可以在升级过程中随机学会】
【使用该卡牌需要支付一百点蓝色、一百点红色和一百点黑色法力值，或者三百点通用法力值】
【当阿克蒙德战死之后，该卡牌会进入墓地重生，时间为六百天】
毫无疑问，阿克蒙德是一个典型的融合了暗影、奥术和邪能的纯粹施法者，在某种程度上也可以被称之为毁灭术士。
毕竟他的老师萨奇尔就是有记录以来第一个研究邪能魔法的家伙。
虽然在名气上远不如兽人术士古尔丹，可是却通过召唤恶魔在阿古斯星球上掀起了叛乱，妄图建立一个属于自己的帝国。
只可惜被阿克蒙德这个二五仔告密最终失败被杀。
也正是通过手刃自己的老师，他才获得了与维伦、基尔加丹同样的地位，成为整个种族的最高领导者。
所以忠诚这玩意，对于污染者来说从来就不存在。
但不可否认的是这家伙的实力绝对没的说，即便是放在所有随从和召唤生物中也绝对能排进前几位。
估计也就仅次于永生煞神巴尔、太阳骑士戴维安。
至于神力武僧巴萨扎，两者可能在伯仲之间，就看谁能抢得先手。
没有任何犹豫，左思直接支付法力值把才制作完成的随从召唤出来。
转瞬之间！
突然从战场上消失的阿克蒙德就又一次以全新形态出现在所有人的视线范围。
原本慌乱成一团的燃烧军团恶魔在看到前线最高指挥官变成这幅鬼样子，纷纷都露出了震惊和难以置信的表情。
但还没等他们来得及搞清楚状况，阿克蒙德那只镶嵌在眼眶内的电子复眼便猛然间释放出骇人的红光。
仅仅不到零点一秒之后，数十道能量束便直接从复眼中射出，沿着燃烧军团好不容易布置起来的防线扫过。
超过十几万由巨型地狱火构筑的防线瞬间土崩瓦解。
确切地说是被切割成了无数散发着绿色邪能火焰的碎石。
它们坚固的身体在这种能量束的切割下根本没有起到半点作用，就如同小刀划过奶油一样轻松写意。
凡是挡在这些红色能量束前进道路上的阻碍，基本不是被切成两半就是当场蒸发，连一丁点尸体碎片与残渣都不带留下的。
阿克蒙德突然对着“自己人”下手，无疑让燃烧军团的恶魔领主们绷不住了。
接替玛诺洛斯位置的深渊领主——阿兹加洛，立马挪动着大屁股来到自己效忠的主人面前扯着嗓子大声嚷嚷道：“大人，您这是疯了吗？那可是我们的军队！”
“疯？不，我可没有疯，只是突然变得清醒了一点而已。”
说罢，阿克蒙德露出了令人毛骨悚然的笑容，紧跟着一把抓住深渊领证逇脖子，将这个有着肥硕身体的深渊领主硬生生从地上提了起来。
尽管在外人看来阿兹加洛的体型已经足够巨大，可对于他来说就像是只小鸡仔一样。
“咳咳咳咳咳——您……您在干什么？快放……放开我，我可是您最忠心耿耿的手下。”
在那双金属大手恐怖的握力作用下，深渊领主感觉自己肺里的空气已经被完全挤出，强烈的窒息感使得前胸就仿佛被点燃了一团火异常痛苦难受。
“不，你还不够忠心。不过无所谓了，反正我现在找到了一个新的办法可以来保证忠诚。”
阿克蒙德猛然间举起一根手指，噗嗤一声戳进阿兹加洛的心脏。
后者体内庞大的邪能顿时不受控制的开始向外倾斜，整个身体都开始绽放出翠绿色的光芒，眼瞅着就要爆炸了。
可当烁油被注入其中后，外溢的能量被迅速吸收并运用到对身体的改造上。
没过一会儿功夫，烁油就吞噬了深渊领主身体上穿戴的铠甲和手上持有的双头剑。
同时原本肥硕的体型也在不断肢解和重组过程中变得越来越苗条，最终呈现出一幅宛如健壮半人马一样的半机械体型。
唯一不同的地方就是身后那条钢鞭一样的尾巴。
确认阿兹加洛已经不可逆转的变成了受到自己控制的仆从，阿克蒙德立刻把目光投向了不远处那些正在指挥军团作战的恶魔领主。
毫无疑问，转化区区一个深渊领主并不能满足他的胃口，紧跟着大踏步的冲向下一个目标。
此时此刻，就算再白痴的家伙都意识到军团的最高级指挥官污染者已经跟那些沾染烁油的小鬼、地狱犬、魅魔一样，彻底变成了恐怖无比的敌人。
所过之处基本不是遭到毫不留情的屠戮，就是在喷洒的烁油侵染下变成半血肉、半机械的怪物。
“该死！这下子麻烦可大了！”
末日领主卡扎克忍不住低声周骂了一句，挥舞着手中那柄超级巨剑瞬间砍倒一大片冲上来的新非瑞克西亚生物，同时施展暗影魔法把自己保护起来，避免飞溅的烁油沾染到自己身上。
作为仅次于基尔加丹和阿克蒙德的高级指挥官，他显然很清楚海加尔山已经彻底变成了军团的坟场。
除非黑暗泰坦萨格拉斯亲自降临，否则哪怕填进来再多的兵力都没有任何作用。
因为敌人早就凭借三十个传送门的压倒性数量构建起了一个巨型口袋阵。
它就像一个庞大的血肉磨盘，源源不断消耗着军团的有生力量。
照这个样子下去，哪怕是把阿古斯所有的精锐调过来都无济于事。
更要命的是，随着左思吸取了绝大多数永恒之井的能量，导致军团传送门短时间内根本不可能扩大化，只能勉强维持现状。
这也就意味着那些体积巨大的太空舰队和宇宙要塞压根没办法过来，黑暗泰坦萨格拉斯本人也同样无法穿过传送门。
“我们现在应该怎么办？撤退吗？”
另外一名级别差不多的恶魔领主也跟着浮现出痛苦纠结的表情。
毕竟入侵并占领艾泽拉斯可是燃烧军团最近一万年优先等级最高的战略目标，萨格拉斯本人更是无所不用其极。
现在好不容易进来了，自然不可能轻易放弃。
就算恶魔想要撤退，萨格拉斯也不会允许。
可要是不撤退，等待他们的就是在这里源源不断的被坑杀。
搞不好一个不小心灵魂还会被捕捉封印，无法返回扭曲虚空等待复活。
那些可怕的黑色、红色和蓝色油脂也是燃烧军团从来没有遇到过的东西，竟然可以直接在战场上把敌人转化成己方的炮灰。
卡扎克抬起手释放了一个群体暗影箭，当场摧毁了超过数千个从头顶俯冲下来的自杀式飞行单位，脸色狰狞的摇了摇头：“不行，不能撤退，否则萨格拉斯大人会拧下我们的脑袋。不过这样下去也不是办法，我们必须要把这边糟糕到极点的情况报告给燃烧王座。”
“我已经派人去了，基尔加丹大人应该很快就会做出相应的调整。”
一名恐惧魔王赶忙大声做出回应。
从脸上那惊慌失措的神情不难看出，左思的入侵彻底打乱了这些来自暗影界间谍和他们背后主人的计划。
毕竟在恐惧魔王看来燃烧军团无论有多么强大都是可控且对自己单行透明的。
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.
