Chapter 384 Angel of Death
Chapter 384 Angel of Death
The Valkyries can manipulate souls...
The Dark Queen Sylvanas knew, but she didn't fully understand how to achieve it. She also had no way to control these strange puppets... After numerous experiments, she was finally able to force them to awaken the souls of the dead and create new Forsaken.
For the Queen, resurrecting Lord Godfrey and his fallen human soldiers was a completely new endeavor and challenge.
The frontline suffered heavy losses. The elite legions of the Hand of Vengeance and the Hand of Death were depleted after the Battle of Dalaran, the Battle of Lordaeron Lake, and the counterattack of Project Storm.
She even had to send the Royal Terror Guards into battle, but the results were not ideal.
The Forsaken are mostly traditional infantry, archers, and magic support units. Knights are needed to charge into battle, but the Dark Queen does not have the ability to convert death knights.
Even after establishing contact with the Knights of the Ebon Blade, they were unwilling to join the Forsaken. They even had their own independent floating fortresses, which were once the property of the Lich King.
Sylvanas, the Dark Queen, considered it a worthwhile endeavor to use the Valkyries to resurrect the corpses of recently fallen enemies and replenish her own forces.
The Lich King's terrifying aspect lies in the fact that any living being killed by Scourge minions and death knights instantly becomes their subordinate, rising to fight again. The Forsaken are also undead, but most of them lack this power.
Freedom sometimes means weakness.
......
Lord Godfrey and his men were once surrounded by the Scarlet Crusade. If they had jumped off the cliff, Lord Godfrey would have certainly died.
His subordinates, Baron Ash and the forces led by Warden, were wiped out by the Forsaken.
These corpses, of course, cannot be wasted.
Lord Vincent Godfrey once harbored intense hatred for werewolves. He staged a coup, imprisoning King Genn Greymane. His actions included allying with outsiders, the mages of Ambermill, inviting Arugal, and launching attacks against the Forsaken.
Unfortunately, he was unaware that the so-called werewolf curse was created by the fool Arugal, whom he had invited, and that the werewolf curse had infected the entire kingdom of Gilneas. Godfrey himself was the instigator of all this disaster.
He, however, insisted that he was the great savior who led Gilneas to prosperity and revival.
The details of their gruesome deaths are omitted; the residents of Pyrewood Village and the garrison of Shadowfang Keep were all turned into wraiths and werewolves, and their annihilation or subjugation by Lorraine and her companions is now history. Arugal's soul was absorbed by Lorraine and transformed into one of the eleven Death Knights. His head was taken back by his teammates to claim their reward, while the remaining remnants of his soul became Lorraine's nourishment.
It was in Shadowfang Keep that Lorraine defeated Death's Oath and obtained the crucial Eye of Light, the Divine Eye, turning her teacher into a one-eyed man.
This experience was unforgettable.
Lorraine, of course, would not forget.
But then Captain Terra said that the Queen had recaptured and reorganized the army at Shadowfang Keep, and used the corpses of Godfrey and others as experiments to resurrect them, directly forming them into combat troops to attack Greymane Wall.
Lorraine realized something was wrong.
That's right, at the banquet, the Queen was ambushed by the resurrected Godfrey, who shattered her head at close range with a musket... The elite of Undercity suffered at the Crimson Feast. The villains, led by Godfrey, reoccupied Shadowfang Keep.
The situation on the front lines took a sharp turn for the worse...
The first to receive the news were actually the Sun Reapers who had been secretly observing from the shadows...
"The Queen cannot be dead!"
After hearing Terra's account, Lorraine insisted that it was impossible.
"I want to go back to Undercity!"
......
"No. Plague Messenger, you must come with me."
"why?"
......
"You have once again been placed under investigation by the dreadlord Varimathras, and a warrant for your arrest is being issued everywhere. This is the interrogation that Yuviel brought back to Dalaran through the Horde ambassador."
"Am I wanted again?"
Terra nodded. “You can’t go back now. Instead, you’d better come with us. We’re going to the seaside to find the relics. You know clues about the underground ruins, and we need you. The Silver Covenant is unwilling to share information about the two survivors, and Dwarf Brian is a friend of Master Rhonin, so we can’t ask him either. Only you—we’ve helped you before, don’t you know how grateful you are?”
Lorraine was speechless for a moment...
Returning to Undercity and embarking on the next chapter of his journey has always been Lorraine's wish.
He has too many troubles and treasures to entrust to the Queen and Aegwynn, so that they can help him resolve them and allow Lorraine to represent the Forsaken in Kalimdor.
What am I working so hard for here?
Acting, disguising, escaping.
All he wanted was to return to Undercity in glory, with dignity and honor, as a hero of the Forsaken.
Now it seems like it all came to nothing.
"No, that's not right. Something's wrong. Weren't you going to check on the Queen's life or death? Why are you going to the beach? I won't go with you until you explain yourself..."
Clever little Lorraine suddenly asked a question; he felt something was amiss...
These blood elves clearly had a "wait-and-see" attitude, hoping to reap the benefits. They should have stayed away from this war-torn land, either returning to Dalaran or Silvermoon City, but this Sunreaver squad was on the front lines of the battle between humans and the Forsaken.
They started hiding and didn't show themselves, but now they've actually appeared in the Hillsbrad Ruins. They must have some other purpose!
Seeing Lorraine suddenly become clever, Captain Terra's eyes flickered. Looking at the stubborn and strange appearance of the one-eyed necromancer in front of her, she rolled her beautiful eyes.
Terra shrugged helplessly: "Fine. It's okay to tell you."
"When Countess Liadrin was searching for the reason for the traitor Darkan's betrayal, she discovered that he had actually joined the Church of Twilight a long time ago! He had been looking forward to the end of the world and summoning the true god. His allegiance to the Scourge was just to accept the so-called divine oracle."
"Dalaran was attacked by the Twilight Dragons. We captured several prisoners, and from their confessions, I obtained more information, even revealing the complex web of forces involved throughout the entire process... We have evidence that there are traitors among the dragons! Among humans, among the Forsaken, high elves, night elves, dwarves, trolls, orcs, elemental lords... Our world has always been threatened by potential forces that, for their own purposes, constantly create chaos, conflict, sow discord, sacrifice lives, and prepare for the apocalypse!"
"Huh?" Lorraine didn't understand. "What does this have to do with you guys coming here to steal my gold coins?"
"What do you mean, 'steal your gold coins'... these are our spoils of war! In short, the Twilight Cult possesses the sacred artifacts we seek, relics from the Kaldorei Elven Empire during the reign of Queen Azshara tens of thousands of years ago. The Church of Twilight collects these ancient artifacts to offer to the Old Gods, who require more flesh and blood... They have been disrupting the world's order, creating chaos and slaughter, and sacrificing lives to the evil gods!"
......
"What's that look in your eyes?"
"You made this up, didn't you..."
Lorraine couldn't help herself. Captain Terra, speechless, glared at Lorraine and spread her hands: "Hand over the Bloodstone Egg! I know it's in your hands..."
