Chapter 591: QuelThalas

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

The terrifying thing about the Scourge was that it grew in strength like a s...o...b..ll. Facing undead that didnt know pain or fatigue, the living would eventually be killed no matter how hard they tried to resist. And every time the Scourge killed an enemy, they could transform them into undead to join the army.

Therefore, in just a few months, Arthas had gained control of a ma.s.sive number of Scourge soldiers. After all of Lordaeron fell, he began to plan to march farther into the Eastern Kingdoms so that the Scourge could spread to the entire continent.

Under the pressure of the surging Scourge, the various countries finally took Medivhs warning seriously, especially Jaina. She had already begun to organize the survivors of Kul Tiras and planned to take s.h.i.+ps to the continent of Kalimdor in the west.

Not only them, but the Orc Horde led by Thrall also saw the disaster caused by the Scourge and realized that there was no hope for the Eastern Kingdoms, so he brought the orcs to Kalimdor.

Unanimously, the survivors thought of preserving their strength and waiting to counterattack in the future

With more people fleeing, the resistance against the Scourge naturally decreased. At the same time, Arthas encountered another dreadlord, Tichondrius.

The appearances of the dreadlords were very similar, and Arthas couldnt distinguish them. So when he first saw Tichondrius, he thought that Malganis had resurrected.

But after Tichondrius introduced himself, Arthas realized that this was another dreadlord. What was interesting was that Tichondrius didnt care about the fact that he had killed Malganis. He was only here to convey the order of the Lich King Nerzhul.

What Arthas didnt know was that although Nerzhul had allowed him to kill his enemy Malganis, Arthas, who had just obtained Frostmourne, couldnt control it very well. When he slashed Malganis, he didnt absorb Malganiss soul into the sword. After Malganis died, his soul had returned to the Twisting Nether and only needed to wait for a while before resurrecting.

Although the death of Malganis was unexpected to the dreadlords, he had basically completed his mission, and his death had no impact on the subsequent plans. Therefore, Tichondrius and the others had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, they still needed to continue using Arthas and wouldnt fall out with him over this matter.

Of course, just as Roy thought, it didnt matter whether Malganis was dead or not. The key was the meaning reflected by Arthass actions The dreadlords were here to monitor Nerzhul. In other words, be it Kiljaeden or the dreadlords, they didnt trust Nerzhul from the very beginning. Malganiss death increased their suspicion of him.

Although Tichondrius communicated with Arthas in a friendly manner while transmitting the orders, only he knew what he was thinking in his mind.

According to the Lich Kings orders, Arthas returned to Andorhal and found the corpse of KelThuzad, whom he had killed. Even though this powerful necromancer was dead, his soul was still preserved, and he could even communicate with Arthas in the form of a soul.

Knowing that Arthas killing him was one of the scripts arranged by the Lich King, KelThuzad didnt have any hatred for Arthas. He was truly loyal to the Lich King Nerzhul, and he could still accept Arthas, the first death knight under Nerzhul.

Although they had found KelThuzads corpse, because his corpse was rotting very quickly, Tichondrius suggested that Arthas find a special coffin to preserve KelThuzads corpse.

Nerzhul had agreed that he would give KelThuzad eternal life and powerful strength, allowing him to become an archlich. And transforming an archlich not only required the skeleton to be as intact as possible, but it also required the support of powerful energy. So the place chosen for KelThuzads resurrection was the Sunwell in QuelThalas.

It was a long journey to the territory of the high elves, so it was reasonable for Tichondrius to suggest finding a coffin to preserve the corpse.

But as a dreadlord who played with peoples hearts, how could he be so kind? The coffin he asked Arthas to find was actually the coffin containing the bones of his father, King Terenas!

Moreover, this coffin was currently being escorted by Uther and the Knights of the Silver Hand If they wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the coffin, then Arthas would have to confront Uther head-on.

Since he had the reputation of being a filial son, then he should show his filial piety to the very end! Not only did he kill his father, but he would also kill his mentor

But Arthas agreed without hesitation. His mind was already under Nerzhuls control, and his heart was full of darkness and cruelty. How could he still consider family affection?

When Arthas led the undead army to surround the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther knew his intentions and felt incomparably angry. He berated Arthas and wanted to remove his disciple with his own hands. But Arthas, who had become three times stronger than before, was no longer the same as before. With the power of Frostmourne, he had killed many living beings and taken away many souls. These souls in turn made him stronger, and Uther was no longer his match.

Holy Light purified darkness, but darkness could also devour Holy Light. Ulther finally died under Arthass sword

But Frostmourne only took away half of Uthers soul, and the other half was missing

After seizing the coffin, Arthas casually threw away his fathers corpse and stored KelThuzads corpse inside. Tichondrius, who saw this scene secretly, was very satisfied with the script he personally directed, so he appeared and urged Arthas to set off for QuelThalas.

But under the protection of the coffin, KelThuzads soul became stronger, so through the voice of his soul, he told Arthas not to believe the dreadlords. The Burning Legion had sent them to monitor the Lich King.

When Arthas heard the name of the Burning Legion again, his heart trembled, and he couldnt help looking at Frostmourne in his hand.

While Arthas was rus.h.i.+ng to QuelThalas with the Scourge Army, the dreadlords led by Tichondrius met in secret.

As mentioned earlier, Malganiss death had already aroused the suspicion of the dreadlords. They had already realized that Nerzhul was beginning to become restless. But out of confidence in the strength of the Burning Legion, the dreadlords believed that Arthas alone couldnt change the general situation. Even Nerzhul didnt dare to disobey the orders of Archimonde and Kiljaeden openly.

They were full of confidence in the return of the Burning Legion.

Of course, this didnt mean that the dreadlords had relaxed their vigilance. They knew that with Archimondes hot temper, if his arrival plan was obstructed or failed, they, the dreadlords in charge of implementing the plan, would definitely suffer cruel punishment and lose their heads.

For the sake of their lives, the dreadlords didnt dare to slack off. They had to ensure that the plan went smoothly.

At the end of the meeting, Tichondrius suddenly said, In addition, theres Lord Osiris! Two days ago, Lord Osiriss two adjutants, Julia and Benia, contacted me. They asked me to provide the location of Arthas and are rus.h.i.+ng here

What is Lord Osiris planning to do? Mephistroth asked curiously. Lord Archimonde is the one mainly in charge of the Legions invasion of Azeroth. Lord Osiris sent his adjutants to contact you. Could it be that he wants to intervene?

I dont know Tichondrius shook his head. Perhaps Lord Osiris doesnt think highly of Lord Archimondes plan? Or is he just adding insurance for Lord Archimonde?

Its also possible that Lord Osiris is acting on his own Mephistroth said. After all, he disappeared for so long before returning. Although Lord Kiljaeden and Lord Archimonde didnt say anything, they have been silently excluding him. They only let him be in charge of Outland and didnt allow him to partic.i.p.ate in the core plan. Its normal for him to have his own ideas

Yes, thats possible! Tichondrius nodded thoughtfully. We cant intervene in the power compet.i.tion between the commanders, but were on Lord Osiriss side after all. So no matter what he wants to do, well do our best to cooperate.

The short meeting ended, and the dreadlords went their separate ways to carry out their respective tasks. But just as Tichondrius had said, Julia and Benia had already thought of a way to enter Azeroth through the Dark Portal in Outland and were preparing to go to Arthas.

Although Roy had used powerful strength as the temptation to get Arthas under his command, he had never fully trusted Arthas.

He hadnt signed any demon contract with Arthas. It was only a verbal agreement, so he couldnt guarantee that Arthas would follow his instructions.

Therefore, he sent Julia and Benia to Azeroth to hide beside Arthas to monitor his actions.

All parties were moving. At the same time, Arthas led the undead army into the territory of the high elves.

Here, Arthas, who had been unstoppable along the way, finally encountered a huge obstruction. And the one blocking him was the Ranger-General of Silvermoon, Sylvanas Windrunner!
