Chapter 582 Loyalty
"What do you think?"
"us?"
......
Lorraine suddenly turned to ask his three new death chieftains, two of whom were orc death knights. They had been colleagues before and were also at the chieftain level... but only at the level of minor chieftains, not even kings, more like clergy.
Shamans were originally the most respected elders in the clan, but when the demon warlocks of the Burning Blade clan became the undisputed rulers of the shadows, they became the masters of life and death.
The two people staring at each other were Godos and Yegosh, while the silent, sinister-looking one was Azalan.
Lorraine clearly sensed that these three underlings were not only different from the werewolf ghost blood knight and ice knight before, but the blood demon and bone demon also possessed independent intelligence, and the shadow demon knight Azaran, who was an incarnation of a lesser demon, was overflowing with negative emotions.
The three's respect for Lorraine was instinctive, because their energy core came from their runic right eye; one could say their rebirth was entirely due to Lorraine...
Lorraine's safety, or rather, the right eye of the rune controlled by Lorraine, is the Achilles' heel of the three humanoid death knights, equivalent to the nameless lich's life casket. This was evident from the moment Lorraine resurrected them, when the deathly will of the three new wraith lords manifested in his mind.
The fourth awakening of the will of the undead came at just the right time. It was the strengthening of Lorraine's mental power that enabled him to control and summon a stronger Death Knight leader.
Yegosh and Gordos, and even Azaran, are composed of corpses scattered across the ground, but they are not constructed independently. They possess most of their past memories, yet they are entirely new Death Knights, no longer minor leaders of the Shadow Council or low-ranking demon overseers of the past.
Even so, Lorraine still had a bad feeling...
Compared to worshipping himself as the eternal sun, the Oath of Death is the guardian of the Realm of Truth. He also has his own will, but he is more about absolute worship and loyalty to Lorraine.
Yurev has a higher ceiling because he started from a lower starting point.
Yurev was a paladin who fought against the Scourge alone in Silverpine Forest with the people. Born into a minor noble family, he led the villagers and fruit farmers in fighting against the Scourge undead brought back by Arthas, but unfortunately died in battle.
Before this, Yurev had faced a choice: the safety of his wife and children, the security of his home, and the poison of the dead, which had caused countless tragedies.
In the end, Yurev was resurrected and became an ordinary soldier of the Forsaken's Gravekeepers. The scouts still guarded their homeland, but their memories were incomplete. Perhaps Yurev deliberately avoided recalling the undying resentment in order to forget.
When Lorraine arrived, he crossed the lake for the first time, at Lake Lorraine, the place where Lorraine rose to power...
The forgotten husband, the pitiful father, the fallen paladin—all are reminded once again of that despairing nightmare.
His wife never forgave him, his son contracted the plague, and too many civilians of Lordaeron became the monsters they had fought and fought against with their lives... The resurrected Forsaken, Lorraine did not want to make Yurev suffer more, but the necromancy runes always absorb individuals with strong resentment.
Fortunately, in his first promotion, Yurev successfully transformed into a Death Knight, swearing allegiance to his king...
The Unsetting Sun, Lorraine admires true men like Yurev, even if he seems like her puppet and loyal servant. Yurev and the Oath of Death hold unparalleled weight in his heart.
If possible, I'd like to capture Marcus as well and make him my "friend".
The so-called friends are the Primarchs who once had absolute faith in the Holy Light and Justice. Once transformed, they will possess a shadowy death power that surpasses that of mortals.
Lorraine had already discovered this fact. He felt that the Lich King was following the same pattern, claiming to be the Holy Light of Justice, but once corrupted, he had the potential to become a Dark Titan or a corrupted Naaru.
As for the remaining few foolish war machines, even if they were damaged, to be honest, Lorraine didn't feel any heartache. Perhaps it's always like this, a sign of the leader's favoritism, acting according to his own whims...
There is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason...
Some people work hard but their superiors don't appreciate them, while others can get approval from above just by joking around.
The three new Death Knights are clearly more intelligent, but Lorraine is still uneasy... It can't understand why the new Death Knights are so intelligent. Its initial triumphant excitement has been dispelled by the Beast King's words, and now it finds everyone odd...
......
Gordos and Yegosh weren't particularly famous figures in their lifetimes, but they were considered high-ranking individuals who had followed Gul'dan for many years...
They could sense their master's apprehension and had always been subservient to the demon, readily sharing everything they knew with their master without reservation. Taking advantage of the brief respite while passing through the Stone Golem Tunnel, Lorraine learned even more about Ragefire Rift.
This includes the distribution of power among stone statues and the underground kingdom.
The two underlings were unaware of the reasons behind the changes that had befallen the Beast King and Garona.
The control switch for the stone golem was definitely not in the hands of those two lowly shadow warlocks, but the communication orb of Godos was shattered, which meant something had happened at the outpost. It's safe to assume the Twilight Council already knew about the trouble in Ragefire Chasm.
Godos advised his master to make plans early, as the Twilight Council was more powerful than imagined, harboring many hidden talents...
Lorraine listened to his younger brother's words without saying a word. He could judge his brother's loyalty from the depths of his soul, a level of loyalty mainly derived from the Lich King's ability to mentally control and perceive the thoughts of undead units.
Not necessarily 100% certain. Even with the Lich King's Crown of Domination and the Frostmourne rune sword as double insurance, he cannot guarantee 100% control over his subordinates.
Lorraine's intermediate rune right eye shows signs of advancement. Yurev once learned from the warden's legacy, which he inherited from an unknown source, that the day a high-level rune is promoted is the day the twelve Death Lords return to their positions.
At that time, the Necromancer runes will be upgraded to advanced runes, becoming a complete Death Rune Prison...
The number of imprisoned vengeful spirits will increase, the speed of soul fusion will increase, and the number of resurrected armies commanded by the Death Knights will also increase to astronomical figures.
In other words, on the day the advanced necromancy runes are promoted, a true realm of the dead may be established and manifest in the human world.
Lorraine couldn't help but worry: could his right eye withstand a plane of death?
.......
Faced with Lorraine's question, the three little brothers repeatedly said that they would follow their master's advice and dared not say another word.
As Lorraine nodded, she was also pondering the next steps.
With the military in hand, we have more confidence and bigger goals.
Bringing a bunch of henchmen along, unless you're going to get into a fight, it's pretty troublesome...
Fortunately, this wasn't an army that needed to be fed; otherwise, Little Lorraine felt that her 200-odd gold coins wouldn't have been enough to support this army of over 300 units. That's the advantage of having undead minions.
But they don't eat; instead, they kill...
The entire army of the dead needs the Death Knight Commander to maintain it. In fact, the Death Knight Commander raises his own guard, so the source of power lies in the Death Knight Commander himself.
The three underlings made it clear that they needed to eat, and their target was the vengeful spirit that Lorraine had been absorbing through her rune-filled right eye for a long time.
This surprised Lorraine slightly; as expected, the benefits of advancing were obvious, but there were also costs involved.
Go find food by yourself?
If three death knights are released into the Ragefire Chasm beneath Orgrimmar to hunt for food, will Warchief Thrall misunderstand that the emissaries from Undercity are not there to form an alliance or seek support, but rather to seize power and overthrow the city?
With his three underlings by his side, Lorraine had some concerns.
But it would be foolish not to use the three helpers.
The fierce battle and helplessness just now are still vivid in my mind. With the help of my underlings, it seemed like I was leading a large army, but in reality, it was all my underlings who held the fort... All the evil forces are just bluffing, relying on their numbers to bully others. Lorraine has this clear understanding and feeling today.
.......
The puppet troops always shout slogans of loyalty; those who worship the emperor probably don't necessarily respect him...
It must have been his own men who were ruthless that made the beast king, whose true identity was unknown, hesitant to act rashly... that's why he spoke politely and was in such a hurry to get rid of him.
They certainly didn't stay behind to hold their ground, as they claimed.
The Firelands is the prison of Naglaroth, the Firelord, one of the most powerful elemental lords and servants of the ancient gods and the earliest minions of the Dark Empire. How could it appear in Ragefire Chasm?
It's not necessarily true that the earth truly split apart during that ancient Big Bang.
