Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The geographical location of the small town named "Khenim" on this ice sheet is roughly equivalent to that of St. Petersburg at the mouth of the Neva River in northwest Russia. It is also a transportation hub and economic center that circulates business with a radius of hundreds of miles.  Every time the cold season of winter passes at the end of the year, caravans and civilians from independent villages in all directions will spontaneously come here to exchange what they have.

    Of course, this refers to the human prosperity that has disappeared in the past. Now, this lively market town has long been turned into a ghost surrounded by the dead.

    The thick wooden battlements used to protect against wild beasts outside the town have all been dismantled and replaced by purple-black towers that look like artistic reliefs.  These floating creations three feet above the ground have rugged hooks and angles, and countless complicated and obscure rune lines are carved on them, always emitting a chilly glimmer.

    Dozens of natural disaster ziggurats floated like a ring in front of the town, forming a dense network of artillery fire at the forefront.  In the town behind these psychic turrets, most of the residential houses made of wood and stone have been razed to the ground. There are various evil buildings such as "Curse Temple", "Slaughterhouse" and so on that originally only existed in a certain famous game.  , taking up a lot of space.

    As for the center of the plain further ahead of this silent ghost town, there is an endless white battlefield.

    The battlefield between the living and the dead.

    Looking from a distance, it looks like a white lotus that is hundreds of meters long and is unfolding gorgeously. The four snow-colored petals protrude from the pistil, and from time to time, wisps of bright red streams overflow and seep into the ground.

    But the nearby landscape is filled with thousands of white bones spreading out a large white curtain on the ground, surging forward like a pure white tide, but the clusters of silvery shimmers among them are like real reefs.  Generally, it does not fall, and the pale waves surrounding the skeletons wash away again and again.

    Like a rock, what resists the invasion of these dead is a phalanx of soldiers gathered in groups.  These humans with different hair colors and eyes and European faces are all infantry formations.  Carrying a square inverted triangle shield about half a meter wide, holding a fine iron single long sword, and wearing a thick cast iron plate armor, they stood with their backs against each other, forming a defense line called the Iron Torrent.

    Compared with the scattered and crowded skeletons and undead, these battle-hardened living beings, although smaller in number, are undoubtedly much more orderly. The soldiers only line up in a typical twelve-man square and move to support each other.  Easily remove most of the impact of the sea of ??skeletons ahead.  When the skeleton soldier's white bone knife cuts into the fine Kaijia, as long as it is not unlucky enough to cut into the connecting gap of the plate armor, it will only make a crisp sound and leave a slight scratch.

    But despite this, screams and dull sounds of falling to the ground were still heard from the crowd from time to time.  It turns out that gray-brown ghouls are hidden in the curtain of large swaths of skeletons. These agile living corpses are the real lethality of the natural disaster side. With the cover of gathering friendly forces, they can jump and attack unexpectedly.  Compared with the almost harmless skeleton soldiers, their sharp claws can often bring out large amounts of blood with one strike. Even if they are killed by their comrades immediately after taking action, even if it is a one-to-one loss, it is not enough for those who cross the sea.  For the expeditionary force that cannot be replenished, it is still an unbearable price.

    But the most troublesome thing is that even if these soldiers clenched their teeth and chopped the skeletons into pieces a moment ago, a black light would immediately appear in the town close to the natural disaster, and the gray tones would cover the bones piled on the ground, and in the blink of an eye there would be  The broken bones reorganized into weak skeletons, and again relied on the bloodthirsty instinct of the dead to swarm up, causing a new round of numerical suppression.  Under this kind of endless repetition and consumption, even these cold-hearted senior soldiers could not help but be shaken by their fighting spirit and feel desolate in their hearts.

    That is exactly the role of the necromancer under the ziggurat.  These living people who have taken refuge in the Scourge Legion specialize in the resurrection of the dead and manipulation spells created for the battlefield. Their one-on-one strength may not be worth mentioning, but their role in local wars is irreplaceable.  Especially with the constant magic power of the ziggurat behind him, he can not only endlessly resurrect skeleton soldiers as cannon fodder, but also cast a range of curse plague to weaken the enemy.  As one goes and the other goes, even if the army of the living on the opposite side is obviously stronger, it can only be worn out and fall into hard consumption.

    It’s not that no one directly assassinated those spell casters with the idea of ????drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.  In fact, in the past few days, several stalkers in the army who are proficient in concealment skills have tried to get closer. However, as soon as they stepped into the open space, they were covered by the cold light emitted by seven or eight ziggurats.  And turned into zombies and frozen corpses.  With these murders in front of them, the Northern Expeditionary Army had to give up this idea.

    What they don’t know is that the human traitors who make them want to eat their flesh and blood are actually not having an easy time.

    Under the ziggurat, more than twenty necromancers in black robes were scattered around, waving their staffs to release them remotely from time to time.  Beside them stoodEach one is four meters tall and weighs hundreds of kilograms. They look like a fat bald man in Japanese sumo wrestling. This undead corpse seamer named "Abomination" stands aside as a bodyguard for long-range troops.

    On the more remote inner side, rows of orderly skeleton shooters stood quietly in groups. From time to time, clusters of faint blue sparks ignited on the bones of the arrows, which were projected into Ru Tao's repeated military formation, stimulating a point of belonging.  Ripples of the Dead.

    "Rather than a bodyguard, it's better to call him a supervisor to prevent escape" In a lonely corner among the casters, Luo was also wrapped in a black robe with a hooded purple stripe mask, covering himself only to reveal a pair of eyes.  Xia sighed quietly.

    It was already the third day since he was mistakenly identified as a necromancer named Schiller Cohen and was taken to the Scourge Garrison to make up for his loss.

    These days, the identity exposure that made him fearful did not happen, because the more than ten colleagues who were also summoned seemed to be indifferent to each other, or they could not care too much about each other. In addition to their spellcasting work, they would be forcibly sent to other places every day.  Returning to the arranged cabin to recuperate, there was no time left for any gatherings.  As a monitor, it is even more difficult to say whether there is brain matter or not. Naturally, it is impossible to judge someone cutting corners by their external performance. Rorschach relies on the spells on his staff to occasionally release the most basic skeleton resurrection to show off.  , under the contemptuous eyes of the surrounding mage colleagues, he managed to get by.

    "What kind of thing is this I obviously came to join Arthas's Master of Justice. I followed him and hugged him, killing the undead all the way. Then at the end, he went to find Frostmourne by himself, and I took the opportunity to sneak away.  If you fall, the mission will naturally be completed. Why did you fall into this situation all of a sudden" Rorschach has not complained like this in his heart more than once. Unlike the fanatical believers around him who firmly believe that the Lich King will win, he will not be fooled because he is familiar with the plot.  Nowadays, the natural disaster side is confused by the apparent victory.

    It is true that, not to mention the glacier ice cap thousands of miles away, known as the natural disaster base, after many years of management and development by the Lich King, there are tens of thousands of scattered undead wandering in this wilderness area alone. A little organization can easily set off a wave that drowns the prince.  A zombie army of thousands of troops.  But as part of the elaborate conspiracy of the world's great villain, the Lich King, in order to cultivate Arthas's extreme psychology of falling from the clouds to hell, no matter how exaggerated the military strength seemed, it was just warm water used to boil frogs.

    In fact, this is the main storyline of the original protagonist, Prince Arthas, who fell from light to darkness.

    Prince Arthas, who had cleaned up the plague in Lordaeron, obtained the information that the Black Hand was hiding in Northrend during the battle with the demons, and resolutely led the entire country to the Northern Expedition for revenge.  However, when he chased across rivers and seas and arrived in Northrend, he was surprised to find that the Scourge's military base in the Arctic was as strong as the troops he brought.  Just when he decided to fight to the death, he "accidentally" encountered the swordsmanship instructor who also came to the North Pole for archaeology - the king of the hill Muradin Bronzebeard. With the troops led by the dwarf king joining in, two  The combined teams were able to successfully conquer the undead base led by the Lich.

    According to the general traditional magic story, reaching this point should be a happy ending of "the prince finally chased across the sea and completed his revenge after unremitting efforts". Unfortunately, in the realistic and almost cruel Azeroth plot, only  Could it be

    After unremitting efforts, the prince finally faced the end of the road he had brewed.

    It turns out that what they mistakenly thought was the Lich King's base was actually just the Scourge's outpost in Howling Fjord, not even one-tenth of the Lich King's entire force.  However, the actions of the Alsace Northern Expedition were like poking a hornet's nest, being submerged by the endless sea of ??undead that followed. When he finally broke through with the last remaining soldiers, he had to face the endless pursuit of thousands of miles.  .  At this point, Arthas was forced to a dead end and had to fall into the Lich King's final trap. He left behind the remaining troops who were loyal to him and searched for the legendary sword "Frostmourne" that could restrain all undead  …

    As the saying goes, "If you want to take advantage of something, first frustrate it." In this conspiracy one after another, Alsace will only face deeper setbacks every step he takes to resist, and his ambition will be pushed forward.  Sent to the brink of collapse.  So much so that when the last prince of Lordaeron, who was a momentary hero, stood alone on the ice field, looking back at the past, he found that he had been betrayed by everyone, and even the soldiers who trusted him the most could not save him. He finally issued a "curse that is willing to bear everything."  "Crying in despair, he pulled out the magic sword in the ice cave, thus completing the last step of the dark ritual. He fell from pride to madness, and completely became a death knight under the Lich King.

    The time period in which Rorschach intervened was the eve of Alsace's fall.

    In other words, if there are no accidents, the town of Hanim where Rorschach is located is exactly where the Alsace Northern Expedition was in the early stages of the WAR3 plot.The captured undead base, in other words, no matter how things develop, all the natural disaster soldiers in the entire town are already destined to become victims of the plan.

    "I have to find a way Even if I can't join the prince's side, I must leave this broken ship as soon as possible." Just when Rorschach was having a headache about his situation, he suddenly felt his eyes light up, as if in the dark night  A bright light suddenly lit up, and the stalemate battle situation took a new turn.
