- In the background setting of "Warcraft 3 - The Ice Throne", long before the Lich King Ner'zhul was projected into Northrend by Kil'jaeden in the form of a dark crystal, this vast ice continent , already has his own master.
Although most of the year-round terrain in Antarctica consists of uninhabitable snow-capped mountains and ice fields, the land suitable for crops is only slightly barren along the coast near the mid-latitudes. No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for the reproduction and expansion of life and civilization. But thousands of years ago, a strange group of creatures migrated here, relying on the race's own talents, and gradually developed its own unique civilization.
This race is the spider demon. The civilization they developed was called "Ajol-Nibru", so they also called themselves "Nibru people", which means "the people favored by the abyss".
These insects who came from afar built their country in the deep and dark underground, avoiding wind, snow and frost. As creatures with half insect and half human genes, they only need to suck a small amount of metal elements from the rich minerals underground to survive. Life, but in this way, the civilization that had little contact with the outside world became more isolated, so that the humans and other indigenous races who later fled to Northrend for survival had no idea that there was a huge world under their feet. The Insect Empire.
But that was all a long time ago. When the Lich King came to this world, at the beginning of his infiltration into Northrend, he first discovered the huge potential of this ancient remnant and tried to nip it in the bud. middle. Naturally, the mysterious king "Anub'rakhan" of the underground kingdom would not let him be slaughtered. He devoted all his clan's strength to attack the Frozen Throne where the Lich King was, vowing to crush this evil King of the Dead to his bones. Ash.
They almost succeeded.
The spider demon's natural insect mind is different from that of humans, which makes the Lich King's all-powerful mind manipulation ineffective. The hard carapace and sharp limb blades of insects after thousands of years of evolution make the cannon fodder advancement dominated by the sea of ??skeletons meaningless. They can use their talents to sneak into the ground, leaving the undead who are trying to chase them helpless.
However, in this magical world where personal power has no upper limit and heroes are one against a thousand, racial superiority is not absolute. In the long war, as the proud and powerful insect general "Anub'arak" was destroyed by the Lich After the king personally defeated and forcibly resurrected the undead hero "Crypt Lord", a large number of undead spider demons who fell on the battlefield turned around and attacked their compatriots. This powerful country that had lost its high-end combat power finally fell completely. .
It flourishes in silence, and its death is unknown.
Now, these miserable races have become a sharp sword in the hands of the Lich King, turning their backs on the Lordaeron expeditionary force from the human kingdom on another continent.
So, in the cracks in the underground at night, the nightmare of an expeditionary force who lost their footing came.
On one side, there are seven or eight human soldiers wearing plate armor, broad swords and long shields, while on the other side, there are only two three-meter-long Crypt Weavers with sharp blades all over their bodies.
From the very beginning, the battle took a turn for the worst. Less than a minute into the fight, a soldier who lost his helmet in the fall was grabbed by a spider demon, and the threads he spit directly penetrated his unprotected skull. , he fell to the ground without even letting out a miserable groan. Another half minute later, a soldier wielding a sword slowed down due to exhaustion, and was immediately sliced ??into pieces by seven or eight stirring blades, with blood splattering all over the place. On the ground, even if he couldn't see clearly in the darkness and his companions around him tried their best to resist, they still felt so wet that they couldn't tell whether it was the blood of their comrades or the sweat of their own exhaustion.
The remaining three or four soldiers were already in despair. The reason why they survived was not so much due to their strength, but rather due to the instinct of survival and the honor of soldiers dying on the battlefield. However, the exhaustion of physical strength could not be reversed by overexertion of willpower. Now, they are about to reach their limit.
This persistence has finally won them a glimmer of hope. The situation of the battle, which was a complete defeat, suddenly took a turn.
What started to break through the darkness was a twisting and dim black light that almost swallowed up the surrounding night.
The gray light immersed into the spider demon silently, and its originally fast and sharp movements slowed down instantly. Due to errors in prediction, most of the airtight attacks were deflected at strange angles towards the enemy. , and before the pressure-reduced expeditionary force could figure out what was going on, they heard a plain and indifferent young voice speaking from the darkness.
"Frost Nova."
In the darkness, a light lit up.
A ray of blue, as clear as crystal, slowly rose from the bodies of the two spider demons, and a biting chill spread.
The soldiers present just felt a chill in their bodies, but the two ferocious monsters in front of them let out a mournful cry.With a sharp scream, the thin and tough patterned carapace expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. It opened and shrank, like two huge tumors, with a faint ray of blue flowing inside, and it expanded to the limit in an instant.
¡°Bang¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
The supernatural freezing air remotely created by the ice magic in the spider demon's body is converted into physical ultra-low temperature, which immediately triggers a drastic change in the surrounding temperature difference. Under the uneven exchange of hot and cold air from the inside to the outside, the spider demon seemed to have detonated a cloud bomb in its body. The soft internal organs exploded into a pool of blood on the spot, and the hard carapace could not withstand this kind of damage. The internal vibration caused it to break into scattered fragments, and large pieces splashed onto the surrounding pitted ground, causing a series of "clang" sounds.
It was only then that the soldiers who realized that they had been saved noticed a group of people walking in the distance.
Walking in front was a tall and graceful black-haired woman, closely protecting the young man wearing a hooded cloak. Next to them, there was a figure that exuded azure brilliance, seemed to be dense like clouds, but vaguely revealed the human form. The floating objects follow quietly, taking on the role of lighting like street lights.
The soldiers who could barely see in the darkness were silent for a moment, and then a captain-like figure walked out of the room and shouted loudly from a distance: "Thank you for your help, but please stop and tell us who you are." ?¡±
The young man hiding behind raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then replied calmly: "I am your prince's ally, and also the one who saves you."
Just like that, the panic-stricken soldiers joined the team.
Naturally, it is impossible for them to believe Rorschach's words, but fighting a life-and-death monster with a slight difference is bravery, but against a strong man who can kill them all with just a single move, resisting in any way is just stupidity and recklessness. Instead of staying where you are and waiting to die, you might as well follow these mysterious figures who saved one of your own and gamble for a chance of survival.
Rorschach, who was immersed in his own world, certainly had no time to care about the thoughts of the soldiers he saved. At this time, he was having fun practicing the necromancy he had obtained from the black witch, and the knowledge instilled through the cards. As he used it more and more profoundly, many general things that he knew but did not understand gradually became clear through practice.
Perhaps it is the magical effect of the reincarnation space card itself, or it may be the bonus of the "psychic" system. Rorschach's mastery of the necromantic magic within the natural disaster can no longer be described as "a thousand miles a day", it is simply "knowing it after hearing it" Ten" inhuman condition.
From the "curse of fatigue" that was laboriously released at the beginning, the spider monster's carapace slipped and resisted, and later various "weakening", "slowness", "corrosion" and "blinding" weakening spells were readily available, and these spider monsters could be killed without even using a hand. His whole body was limp and unable to move due to his own weight. After testing his current limit, Rorschach ended his experiment.
And these incredible improvements only took him half an hour. If a local necromancer in Azeroth knew this, his first reaction would probably not be to accept a disciple to pass on his mantle when he met a peerless genius, but to try every means to dissect him and study him in slices, in order to find out what kind of alien monster he was. Only pretending to be human will give up.
But in a sense, Rorschach, the "otherworldly creature", really deserves his name.
What interrupted his enthusiastic game was the captain of the expeditionary force whom he initially rescued. He seemed to have gained courage from more and more companions, and carefully raised his questions to Rorschach.
"Why are you going downstairs?" Luo Xia was stunned and asked strangely: "Didn't you see more and more wounded people along the way? According to the structure of this underground project, the person who fell in the upper area should only be one person. A small number, but most of the soldiers should have fallen deeper. If we don't goare we going to let them wait for death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the rescued people behind him whispering in confusion. As for the squad leader who was pushed out, his face was almost red with embarrassment. He then said hesitantly: "We are not powerful mages like you. In such a dark place, we can't see anything clearly, we can't use our martial arts at all, and those monsters are almost invulnerable"
"So you are going to give up on your companions below?" Luo Xia smiled understandingly. His footsteps did not stop, but his voice echoed in the empty passage. "If any of you feel that it is dangerous down there, and that continuing down like this will lead to death, just Go back by yourself, I have basically cleaned up the spider demons along the way, maybe you can actually find the exit to the surface."
Hearing these half-encouraging and half-ridiculing words, the team behind them had no reaction at first, but after waiting for a while, several wounded people who really couldn't bear it quietly left.Behind, but not catching up. After seeing Rorschach's indifferent performance, the remaining people confirmed that what he said was true and immediately started a series of small actions. First, the seriously injured one intentionally fell to the ground and groaned, but refused the help of others and took the opportunity to escape. Later, the guy who didn't want to take risks simply used the excuse to chase the laggard and ran away in the direction he came from, leaving behind him gradually. The long and narrow figure that went away.
In the end, apart from Rorschach and a few others, this temporary team only had seven or eight rescued people of thirty or forty people following closely behind them. To Rorschach's surprise, the little one who took the risk to ask questions at the beginning The captain stood among them.
After testing out the magical abilities he could master, Rorschach no longer had the interest to play around. However, it was too boring for the group of people to walk silently into the deep and dark cave. He simply asked casually: "Why don't you go with them?" go?"
The captain-like figure was stunned for a moment before he responded and spoke to himself, then showed a shy look and replied: "With a powerful spellcaster like you in front, what do I have to be afraid of? And I'm worried that His Royal Highness is still inside, and as a member of the Guards, I have the responsibility to protect his safety."
That's what they say, but everyone knows that Alsace, who was born as a paladin, does not need protection. And in this chaotic situation, no one knows whether Alsace has fallen into the ground, and there is no way to talk about responsibility. This man's persistence was probably due to his sincere desire to save his companions. Rorschach looked sideways, sizing up his overly young face with interest, and asked aloud: "What's your name?"
"Thassarianthis is my name." The young soldier hesitated for a moment, but replied.
"ha?"
Hearing this answer, Luo Xia stumbled, stepped on the rocks with a "tied" sound, and almost tripped. After regaining his balance with the help of the girl on the side, he turned back without even looking at the pit in the ground. He looked at the poor young man with a strange look. This made him feel a little nervous, and he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Is there any problem with my name, sir?"
"No, it's nothing." Rorschach shook his head, but there was a strange feeling of time and space in his heart. The name Thassarian was unknown in the original single-player strategy "Warcraft" series, but it was modeled after it. He plays an important role in the expanded online game "World of Warcraft". He was an elite soldier from Lordaeron, but at the end of the Northern Expedition in Northrend, he was stabbed through the heart by Arthas and became his second death knight. In a series of subsequent plots, he was forced to kill him. His elderly mother is known as a rare outlier with compassion and kindness among the Scourge. In the future, she will almost be the first benevolent forerunner among the death knights to clearly declare their intention to resist the Lich King and destroy the Frozen Throne.
If the black witch Falina is just a coincidence, then does the appearance of Thassarian indicate that this plane is not just the plot of Throne of Ice, but a mixture of the Warcraft series? In other words, the background is not only the conspiracy of the Lich King and the prince, but also lurks some powerful characters that have never been born, such as the four guardian dragon gods, the world destroyer Deathwing and even - the ancient gods and titans?
Rorschach shook his head and decisively stopped thinking. Regardless of whether there were monsters capable of destroying the world in this world, it had nothing to do with his mission. With his current weak strength, it was difficult to follow Arthas' footsteps. , if it rashly attracts the attention of those gods and demon-level life forms, it will definitely be a dangerous situation with no life or death.
But no matter what it is or isn't, you have to be careful.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Soon, a soldier who was a scout reported his findings: there were traces of fierce fighting along the way, but there were no traces or corpses of any living creatures, and the humans who fell down seemed to have disappeared.
"Were they captured to reserve food?" Rorschach asked in surprise, but he himself felt that it was unreliable, not to mention that the recipe package of the nerubians did not include humans, and they were killed by the Lich King. The resurrected undead spider demon relies on the negative life circle in the body to draw energy to move, and does not need to eat at all to survive.
The answer to the matter was suddenly revealed when Rorschach stepped into the deepest part of the passage.
It was at this moment that he understood why the natural disasters were so unscrupulous in dealing with the prince's army. - Didn't finish reading?
