    (ps: Thanks to the rewards from "I Enjoy Novel" and "Between Yin and Yang", there are finally people on the fan list. By the way, how can I get those two points of fan points? The author is also eager to try it, but I don't know this method.  Can you lie around and claim to be a FANS to win over those great people?)

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    After receiving the blow from Alsace, Rorschach lay down on the hospital bed and woke up two days and three nights later.

    It's not that the prince was a fool and committed murder after breaking through the town of Hanim. On the contrary, when Rorschach took out the identity letter he got when he came to this mission world, it proved that he was a distant relative who taught him swordsmanship and educated him.  After discovering that his uncle was a Lordaeron veteran who had participated in the Second War, the originally racist Crown Prince's attitude immediately changed drastically.  What was originally a half-exploration and half-treatment method of thunder has turned into painstakingly using the holy light to penetrate the body and bones, completely healing Rorschach and all the old wounds and hidden wounds left in his early years.

    ¡°In the final analysis, it was Rorschach¡¯s own fault.

    You must know that although the "psychic people" from the world of "Shaman King" use the ability to simply communicate with the underworld and wander around life and death, there is no distinction between good and evil. In the original work, it was even promoted by the Christian Church as  Joan of Arc, whose "saint" attribute can control the holy light of the living dead, also appears as a "god-level possessing spirit" of a psychic.

    But this kind of power to control the dead is always biased towards the underworld.  However, Rorschach also trained in the necromancy of the Scourge Legion, and was invisibly infected with the evil spirits from the Lich King. This evil power would usually increase the power of the spells, but there was no visible harm.  But when he was covered by the pure and pure holy light, it immediately triggered a backlash of evil thoughts that even Rorschach himself could not control. Fortunately, his foundation was still in necromancy, and the undead spell was only a small taste, and the evil power was extremely weak.  Only then did Arthas subconsciously think it was a curse cast by the enemy. After he used the holy light to eliminate it, he stopped paying attention to it.

    But this lesson also made Luo Xia wary.  He had just practiced the art of necromancy a few times, and he was inevitably contaminated by the aura of the Scourge Legion. If he became more sophisticated and practiced to a higher level, he would probably be filled with evil spirits wherever he went, and he would be regarded as an evil villain at a glance.  That's okay, after all, he is not a middle school boy with a "righteous spring", so naturally he will not give up his power for ideological mysophobia.

    What really made him decide was something else.  Rather, the knowledge in his mind vaguely mentioned that even though this death spell is ever-changing against other professionals, when it comes to the internal competition between necromancy practitioners, it has become a qualitative and quantitative competition in terms of pure power.  In the confrontation between high and low, all mystical techniques are meaningless.  The most important thing is that the necromancy he acquired must absorb a trace of the power of natural disasters as a foundation from the very beginning before it can be extended. In other words, no matter how bravely the magic is advanced, it will probably not be able to get rid of this.  Fan Li, in the future, not to mention encountering the Lich King, the source of evil power, but also encountering a slightly higher natural disaster general, isn't it true that all magic is illusory and can only be captured without mercy?

    "No wonder in the plot of Azeroth, even the warlocks who use the demonic power of the Burning Legion participated in the fight against the Scourge, but we never saw any necromancers, a popular profession in other games, appear. I thought it was spread to the public.  However, he did not expect that the necromancy of this plane would have such drawbacks Throughout the history of Warcraft, during the process of betrayal and separation among the Lich King, the backbone of the Lich King - the death knights - all left in large numbers.  But I have never heard of the defection of lich and necromancers. These intellectuals are definitely more afraid of death and cunning than the stubborn knight class. Now that I think about it, it is not the loyalty of Lao Shizi, but simply being controlled by others, life and death.  You can¡¯t help yourself!¡±

    Thinking about this, Rorschach has decided that at least before leaving this plane, he will not deliberately use this seemingly convenient power again.  As for after leaving By that time, his stage had become a dazzling sea of ??stars constructed from infinite planes. Among them, there were millions of demon kings and villains more evil and terrifying than the mere Lich King. Let¡¯s not say whether he would still be there.  He will regard this necromancy spell that he finds useful now as a treasure. Even if he learns it, how can he care about an indigenous boss who is destined to be overturned in his native plane? Could it be that the Lich King Ner'zhul can capture him across planes?  Can't dig coal?

    "Speaking of which, although there is no way to compare, the rewards of this adventure in the mission world are quite satisfying. Just the reward for killing the spider demons and saving people last night was more than a thousand survival points, plus all the other messy things  With his income, he already has more than 3,400 survival points, which has exceeded the total reward of the final mission. Counting the income of various treasures and the expansion and improvement of his own abilities, judging from the diary left by Bai Wu  , even if I don¡¯t rely on Corpse Princess, I can easily kill him as a resource.Seriously, is he too useless, or am I too talented?  "

    Rorschach instinctively ignored the fact that the unlucky guy he killed by luck was a summoner who relied on servants to fight. After two asymmetric comparisons, he couldn't help but feel happy. More importantly, the main mission arranged by the Book of Reincarnation had arrived.  This step has actually come to an end.

    Only then did Luo Xia really feel relaxed.  After relaxing physically and mentally, he lay on the bed and took a bite of the fruits and vegetables handed over by the beauty. He also had a vague idea of ??how to spend the rest of the time: "The remaining mission of 'escorting Arthas to the Frostmourne Cave',  In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t participate. After all, the real owner of the magic sword, the Lich King, is definitely much more anxious than the prince who longs for revenge. Even if there were any monsters to stop him along the way, he would probably have been stopped by this guy long ago.  After the massacre, all you have to do is stay in the camp with peace of mind and be protected by the army for the next seven days. At the same time, you can try to master the power of mutants and clean up the undead squad to get rewards"

    Unfortunately, at this time, the historical process that he inadvertently disrupted finally began to deviate. With the subtle changes in the tributaries, the backlash from the plot itself came.

    The sudden news almost made Rorschach fall down from the bed in shock.

    "Hohoyou saidahem." The half-swallowed pulp was stuck in his throat. Luo Xia's face turned red from holding it in, but deep down in his heart, he couldn't breathe at the words of the young soldier in plate armor in front of him.  Neng lay on the bed in embarrassment, retching desperately toward the ground.

    "Is there anything strange? Isn't this a good thing? The prince finally decided not to continue going north." Thassarian, who was confused by Rorschach's violent reaction, rubbed his head, then let out a giggle, and continued  He said naggingly: "It's good now. Although I didn't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, I can finally leave this hellish place. When this war is over, I will go back to my hometown to visit my sister Tanasha. Speaking of which, I  I haven¡¯t seen her for a long time. When I go back, I have to introduce her to you"

    What a ghost!

    Not noticing the death flag that a certain girl-controlled soldier had unintentionally set up, Luo Xia was shocked to death by this information, her mind was in a state of confusion, and only one thought echoed in her heart¡ª¡ª

    The Crown Prince of Lordaeron Arthas the second Lich King who was destined to uproot Frostmourne in the Warcraft plot, a generation of death monarchs who immersed the entire Azeroth in darkness and fear in history, is actually pursuing  He chose to retreat the moment before he was killed and fell.

    So what to do with the Demon Sword of Death "Frostmourne", what to do with the Lich King Ner'zhul's conspiracy, and most importantly what to do with his "Devil Sword Escort" mission?

    "Wait, maybe things are not as bad as I thought." Rorschach took a deep breath, managed to calm down, looked at Thassarian with a happy face, and said in a deep voice:

    "Where is His Highness the Prince? I want to see him."

    This reasonable request was naturally quickly granted.  The second meeting was in the central camp of the army. When the prince faced his question, he did not reprimand him for being rude. Instead, he remained silent for a moment and gave a calm explanation.

    "Since it is impossible for me to defeat that demon and the mysterious master behind it with my current strength, why should I die with a one-tenth-thousandth chance?"

    "But" Luo Xia was speechless, but strange thoughts came to her heart.

    But in history, don¡¯t you also know the disparity between us and the enemy, but you still stubbornly go north without being able to pull ten cows back? How come you get here and then give in like this?  Waithow did he know the Lich King's strength at that time?

    Luo Xia was suddenly shocked and froze on the spot.

    ¡­So it turns out that Alsace, who leads the Northern Expedition in the plot, actually doesn¡¯t know how strong the enemy is.  Now that I think about it, from the beginning, the enemies he encountered were all deliberately displayed in front of him

    In the beginning, the wandering undead in the Eastern Kingdom were actually a team put together by Kel'Thuzad after infecting farmers and poor people with plague. Although there were many in number, most of them were low-level soldiers such as zombies and skeletons, and there were no necromancers.  Command, and without the cooperation of a series of high-level units such as Abomination and Death Knight, without the ability to form a complete undead sequence, the human army with the standard configuration of mages and knights will basically collapse at the first touch.  Therefore, the human kingdom did not attach too much importance to this disaster at that time. It was only worried about the casualties of civilians and the widespread plague. It scorned the fighting power of these dead people. This was also the reason why Alsace dared to lead an army.  The confidence to hunt down the Dread Lord across oceans.

    Even the undead he encountered along the way in Northrend were the Lich King¡¯s carefully measured forces.??It's slightly stronger than Lordaeron, but it's not too outrageous, and he can still barely sustain it.  This kind of deliberately designed "difficult victory" always tends to give people strong hope, so that after a complete defeat, the belief collapses even more completely.

    It¡¯s just that the Lich King¡¯s well-prepared plan is now in pieces.

    With the survival of the Eldraine remnants who should have died silently in the pit three nights ago, they successfully communicated and shared information with the prince, although the bugs themselves who had been isolated from the world for a long time did not know the exact identity of the Lich King.  However, the tens of thousands of crypt demons they said were resurrected after their own clan was exterminated are enough to plow the expeditionary army back and forth several times. As a battle-hardened general, Alsace naturally cannot  He would be so stupid that he would die in vain.

    In fact, what Rorschach didn¡¯t know was that the reason why Arthas made this decision was not only due to the intelligence of the insect people, but more importantly, it was also due to the introspection of his own mentality.

    No one knows that in the Battle of Stratholme, what caused the most serious harm to the prince was not the massacre of the entire city's subjects and leaving his hands stained with blood, nor the slander of his reputation that brought shame to the royal family.  The fatal blow was actually the double betrayal of the mentor and lover.

    No matter what the reason, Uther, one of the founders of the Paladin organization "Silver Hand", chose to part ways with his disciples. Although he repeatedly claimed that he was unable to stop the prince's crazy decision, he turned this mess from  The moment it was handed over to a Paladin disciple who was still in the process of training, it also represented the break between the Paladin group and the royal family.

    As a lover, Jaina is no longer suitable for dating a faded crown prince, both from a political perspective and from her own perspective. The meaning behind the breakup lies in the relationship between the Kirin Tor Council, the largest mage group in Azeroth, and the Rolando.  The breakdown of the intimate relationship in the Kingdom of Danlun.

    It is precisely under this premise that we are in a fantasy world filled with holy light magic. The most powerful country in mankind sent an expeditionary force to defeat the Dread Demon King. There were no priests, paladins or even mages accompanying them, so that the entire  The army's only area-of-effect weapon was the dwarf's immature engineering gunpowder.  This phenomenon has clearly explained the problem.

    It is completely conceivable that if this expeditionary army wins, the prince can naturally carry out the majestic trend of "killing the 'Mastermind of the Stratholme Plague' and marching thousands of miles across the sea to eradicate evil spirits" to suppress the undercurrents of all parties. His own reputation can be completely followed.  It is not too much to say that he is praised for his "decisive killing"; but if he is defeated or even the whole army is annihilated, it not only represents the fundamental lack of the military foundation that the royal family relies on to rule the people, but also  The reputation of the royal family of Lordaeron for their stupidity and cruelty will probably resound throughout Azeroth. Their absolute reputation will be infamy for eternity, and there will be no chance of turning it around.

    And in this situation, the Church of Holy Light and the Council of Kentori Mages, which possess the two supernatural powers of Holy Light and Magic, did not send a single soldier to participate, but just watched with a cold eye This attitude has become extremely intriguing.

    (Some people say there are some priests who follow the mission, but not all Holy Light manipulators belong to the "Holy Light Church". The royal family must have cultivated some priests and priests who are loyal to themselves over the years, but the Paladin was born  has a history of less than a hundred years and only exists in the Northern Expeditionary Army. There are only a small number of priests accompanying it, but there are no paladin and mage, which already explains the problem.)

    This is probably why this prince, who finally fell in despair, killed his mentor and former colleagues, and burned Dalaran, the thousand-year-old arcane city of Azeroth, to ashes without any psychological burden.  .  Even if you think about it evilly, maybe at that time, when the king who has turned into a death knight is killing the humans who abandoned him in the past, his cold heart will stop beating when he thinks of the pain of these guys eating the bitter fruit they brewed.  Only here can I truly feel the pleasure of "revenge".

    ¡°This way, everything makes sense.

    In history, the prince who suffered many betrayals had actually suffered from serious mental illness In other words, when his beloved abandoned him one after another, a feeling called "There is no trust in the world, only the only one" naturally sprouted in his heart.  The extreme concept of "self-reliance".  Driven by the mania of this blind spirit, he could mercilessly kill two thousand Northrend native mercenaries because they were "outsiders who might betray"; he could also suffer a heavy loss of troops after defeat and face endless enemies.  After the real power surged out, the first thought was not to "go back and contact other forces in the human kingdom and gather everyone's strength to defeat this terrible evil", but to place hope on a holy sword that only exists in legends.  On the artifact, he tried to rely on his own power to reverse the situation and eliminate the natural disaster. In the final analysis, he still did not believe that others would let go of the Lordaeron royal family, whose strength was greatly damaged.The distant threat from the mainland is just a matter of letting go of the past and joining hands to fight it.

    But now Under the influence of Rorschach's misunderstandings, Arthas's army that was supposed to be disintegrated survived, and he himself gained information about his new ally, the Eldraine Nerubians.  This crucial turning point allowed him to free up time to think calmly and overcome his psychological obstacles during the three days when Rorschach was lying on the hospital bed.  In other words, at this time, Alsace was no longer stubborn about facing evil alone. Although he still had no trace of hatred in his heart, he regained the calmness and fortitude of a general and began to plan all possible means to eliminate the enemy.

    What¡¯s more important isthis time, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about his allies coveting and greedy for his kingdom.

    In fact, this approach is in line with the image of the crown prince in the early stage of the story, who is like the arrival of the Holy Son, rather than the paranoid man who is obsessed with death in the game.  In movies and games, often due to the conditions or technical limitations of editors and designers, originally smart and wise characters must follow fixed and rigid routines all the way to the dark side. This makes the upright people appear to be dull and "just", and the villains are stubbornly stupid. Once the plot changes,  Off the track, those heroes who have left their names in history will naturally blossom into their own splendor.

    So, now that the anger that had gone to his head was gone, the prince made a decision that stunned Rorschach.

    Withdrawing troops seems easy and sensible, but in fact it is already impossible. I have lost a lot of troops along the way, and now it is difficult to get off the tiger.  If he just escapes back like this, let alone gathering strength, he may not be able to suppress the small actions of those churches in the country who are not satisfied with the royal power. In addition, the strength of the Mages Council that originally supported him has become alienated with Jaina's departure, and he has been alienated by the Holy Light Church.  Most of the royal power has been emptied, and there is no possibility of recovery from now on.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That would undoubtedly be killing an egg against a stone, and dying in vain, which is even more impossible.

    No matter how you analyze it on the surface, Arthas has no way out now, and with his proud temperament, he would definitely rather die in Northrend than return to the kingdom to be a puppet of the theocracy. In this way, in the end, he will just  Can be forced to continue heading north and repeat that dark fate.

    But at this moment, Eldraine¡¯s new allies who survived Rorschach¡¯s reckless move to interfere in history gave him a new way out.

    That is - to join forces horizontally and vertically to fight against the Qin Dynasty Oh no, it is "to join forces across the sea to kill the Witch King".

    Although Azeroth does not have the legendary history of the famous feudal princes competing for hegemony, in the final analysis, the political and military strategies in the world have the same goal, which does not prevent Arthas from adopting similar methods at all.

    "The undead who calls himself the 'Lich King' is born to be the mortal enemy of all living people. If he wants to grow stronger, he can only use endless piles of corpses and souls. The continent of Northrend is independent of the endless sea and is not connected to any continent. The Lich  The king's killing spree would not encounter resistance from powerful forces, but on the other hand, he could only grow by killing the natives of Northrend. Now that there is an example of the spider demon, it shows that the natives here are not completely useless.  The resistance was only defeated one by one because of the remoteness of the ice field and the small number of members of each tribe. Now, with the help of the passages under the underground of Northrend among the Eldraine allies, they can completely rely on the worms to burrow into the ground to achieve information exchange.  As long as they join forces to form a force, even if they can't defeat the Lich King, they can certainly curb the growth of its power." Arthas suddenly had a cold look in his eyes, but said with a faint smile on his face:

    "It's okay that I didn't know it before, but now I know that the dark power contained in this land is definitely beyond the power of Lordaeron. How could I be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg? The Alliance of Human Kingdoms was disbanded during the Second War.  We must win! If we don't stop their spread, if one day they massacre the entire continent of Northrend and build a fleet of undead skeletons that can cross the sea, who can resist the scattered Eastern Kingdom?  Since the crown prince of Danlun discovered all this first, he naturally has to risk his life to reveal the truth and lead the human kingdom to fight against this darkness. It is his duty to do so!"

    Listening to this impassioned speech, Rorschach was in a trance, almost thinking that he had traveled to a famous time stream in the Celestial Dynasty that fought against foreigners. What he heard in his ears was the famous speech of a great man "uniting all living forces", na na said  He was speechless. By the time he regained consciousness, he had been in his tent for a long time.

    "Nowit's troublesome." Luo Xia sighed suddenly, "Compared to a politician with changeable tactics, I would rather you be a single-minded idiot"
