After clearing the Tomb of Tyr, Galen and the others left the tomb. Tyr had originally tried to perish together with the servants of the two Old Gods through self-destruction, so he did not leave a corpse. Now that the Silver Hand had also been taken away by Galen, the tomb was empty.
"Brother Tydewarth, now that the evil power in the Tomb of Tyr has dissipated and the Silver Hand has been taken out by me, I wonder what the Tyr's Guard plans to do in the future?" In Galen's view, Tydewater was determined and a good talent. No one would dislike having more talents under their command, so Galen had the idea of recruiting him.
"We may rebuild the camp in the mountains. Evil has been eliminated, but this is still the place where Tyr died in battle. Our Tyr's Guard will always adhere to the ancient oath, and Tyr's deeds will be passed down from generation to generation by us."
Huh?
Didn't you say that a good man should be ambitious and make contributions?
Brother, how can you have no ambition... …
"Brother Tydewarth, have you heard of the Burning Legion?" Galen was ready to start his verbal persuasion.
"The Burning Legion?" Tydewarth looked blank.
Obviously, they had been isolated for too long, and a lot of information was outdated.
"The Burning Legion is an evil force formed by the fallen Titan Sargeras, whose purpose is to destroy the entire Azeroth. They invaded Azeroth once ten thousand years ago, and a month ago they launched a second invasion, but they were all beaten back by us."
Galen paused, still thinking about what else he could use besides righteousness to persuade this paladin. At this moment, Galen was possessed by Liu Huangshu.
"The undead that attacked your camp some time ago were the minions of the Burning Legion!"
As soon as these words came out, Tydewater's expression finally changed, and Galen found a breakthrough.
"Tell me, Galen, what do you need our Tyr's Guard to do?" Who said paladins are selfless people? As long as they are human, they will have personal feelings and selfishness!
Galen originally thought that their paladin's inheritance was earlier than the appearance of the Silver Hand, but it turned out that the energy system was only introduced in the past ten years. Because the Tyr's Guard has guarded the Silver Hand for generations, they have become more compatible with the Holy Light, and their members have become easier to change jobs... …
Did Turalyon also say he was going for further study?
You studied loneliness, right?
I think further study is fake; flirting is your purpose.
Galen had an expression that saw through Turalyon.
"Guarding the Tomb of Tyr is the duty of the Tyr's Guard, and it is also the common profession of our paladins. I have decided to build a town by the lake of the Tomb of Tyr to commemorate Tyr's kindness to mankind."
"At the same time, I hope that you, Tydewarth, can join us and fight against the crisis that threatens mankind and Azeroth! And our first goal is to purify the Scourge that is raging in Lordaeron and then march north to Northrend to defeat the Lich King!"
Galen glanced around and used Soul Whisper again to transmit a secret message: "My agreement with the Earth King is to gather troops to march north to the Lich King on the surface, but in reality, it is to break through Ulduar and liquidate the fallen Loken!"
Tydewarth's body shook!
Loken was the mastermind behind Tyr's fall. As Tyr's tomb guardian, if there was a chance to help him judge this fallen one!
"So, Brother Tydewarth, are you willing to become my follower and realize my grand goal?"
"I am willing!"
After Tydewarth was tricked by Galen into going to Minas Tirith to undergo the follower transformation ceremony, he divided several thousand of his Royal Guards and Knights Commanders to reorganize the Tyr's Guard, commanded by Tydewarth.
Afterwards, Galen familiarized himself with Strom'kar while waiting for news from the north.
Soon, Thranduil sent news that Illidan had landed in Northrend and was about to intercept Arthas's troops!
This moment had finally come!
A smile appeared on Galen's face!
Then he immediately began to summon Onyxia and the Shadowblades under his command who were not on missions, VanCleef, Valeera, Moroes, and Hogger.
After the team assembled, they immediately set off for Northrend!
On the southern coast of Dragonblight, Arthas and Kel'Thuzad, Mehlendus led their undead forces to land on this Arctic continent.
This was Arthas's second time coming to Northrend, and he had a strange, homecoming feeling in his heart. Once, he came here with a heart of revenge, killing the Dreadlord who turned his people into undead, but now, he has become the king of the undead, and Kel'Thuzad has become his ally. The twists and turns of fate, there is nothing stranger in the world than this.
When Arthas's feet stepped onto the frozen soil from the ship, he almost fell to the ground. At this time, his strength and his physical body itself were already very weak, and at the same time, the Lich King's sense of urgency was also piercing his nerves at all times.
"King Arthas, those lingering naga have been monitoring us in the sea; they must have bad intentions!" Kel'Thuzad faithfully reported the latest intelligence.
"No need to pay attention to them."
Arthas took a weak breath, looking at the Scourge army that followed him north; there were ghouls, ghosts, shadows, abominations, and necromancers—this was a powerful force.
"We have to speed up; the master is under great threat. We must rush to Icecrown Glacier immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, Arthas rode Invincible through Dragonblight for two days and two nights of non-stop marching, while the death knight kept his eyes closed on Invincible's back, recovering his tormented spirit.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the team!
Arthas suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of anger at being disturbed from his recovery: "Kel'Thuzad, what happened!"
"King Arthas, pursuers are catching up!"
Kel'Thuzad looked in the direction of the south.
In the heavy snow curtain, a large number of dark green creatures were circling in the air. Immediately afterwards, they were rapidly approaching the undead army, attacking the ground in the air, and the undead immediately launched a counterattack!
The undead army was held back, and soon the pursuers walking in the snow also caught up!
A group of naga crawling on the snow, led by a female snake-haired naga. Her body was like half-human and half-snake, and her lower body's enchanting snake tail was covered with scales. Her face was pretty, and she had a different kind of charm. A large number of black snakes on her head were baring their fangs and claws! Behind the female naga was a group of strong male naga; they were tall, strong, ugly, and showed no elven characteristics. Their hands were holding huge tridents with blades wider than a person!
"Hmph! Who are you! How dare you attack our army!
"Lord Illidan sends his regards, Death Knight Arthas!"
The highborne naga's tone was as cold as the arctic frost.
"Illidan! The demon who chased me all the way? A lackey of the Burning Legion?" Arthas sneered inwardly. He and the Scourge had long anticipated being hated by the Burning Legion after breaking free from their control.
"Go ahead and be quick with your tongue, you foul-smelling corpses. Soon, Lord Illidan will eliminate your Lich King master, hahaha!"
Vashj laughed triumphantly. Her army was only meant to delay Arthas and his forces' return. The true main force, under her leadership, was already ahead of Arthas.
Competing with naga in the sea for speed was simply asking for humiliation!
"Hmph!"
Arthas swung Frostmourne.
"Servants of the Lich King, guards, warriors of darkness and ice, heed your king's command! Kill these disgusting, inferior reptiles!"
The undead army immediately charged, engaging the naga brutes!
The naga brutes were strong, and each swing of their massive tridents swept away hordes of ghouls. With the elite naga royal guards providing support, the undead, despite their vast numbers, were stalemated against the naga army for a time.
Suddenly, Arthas felt another sharp pain in his brain, and he knelt weakly in the snow. His vision turned completely blood red.
In his blood-red vision, Arthas saw the Lich King once again!
He was trapped in that icy prison, his aura chaotic!
"Quick!" Arthas heard the Lich King roar, "My enemies are rapidly approaching! We are running out of time!"
"King Arthas! Are you alright?" Kel'Thuzad's voice came from beside Arthas, interrupting the vision in his mind.
Then, Arthas grabbed Kel'Thuzad's skeletal arm and struggled to his feet: "My power has weakened once again, lich. I leave this place to you. Illidan is rapidly approaching our master. I need to take the elite forces to support our master!"
"This place is left to me! You hurry and depart!"
Kel'Thuzad quickly cast a spell, and a portal instantly formed. Arthas called out and led Melan'thus and the elite abomination unit away from the battlefield!
When Arthas reappeared, he was already in the northwest of Dragonblight, very close to the entrance to Icecrown Glacier, the Gate of the Wrath.
Arthas saw a fierce battle taking place. The combatants were the familiar nerubians and naga!
Among the naga were many humanoid creatures that resembled high elves, except their skin was not as fair as that of high elves, but rather violet.
The nerubians surged like a tide, rapidly climbing towards their prey, but the naga and elves on the opposite side were all elite warriors. They not only stubbornly resisted the nerubian's attacks but even showed a tendency to counterattack!
In the center of the battlefield, the largest nerubian was being beaten down by a tall elf with demonic wings on his back. The elf wielded two strange moon blades with great ease, leaving numerous wounds on the Nerubian King with each shift of his figure!
If this nerubian had not been transformed into an undead creature by the Lich King, it would have been defeated by now!
"You have come! My champion!"
"Master! Yes, I have come!"
Here, less than a hundred miles from the Frozen Throne, Arthas could clearly feel the Lich King's presence, but he seemed very weak at this moment!
"The Frozen Throne is my prison, and it has been damaged. My energy is rapidly leaking from the cracks. Because of this, your power is also declining."
"What is happening!" In Arthas's understanding, the Lich King was strong. He was a powerful being in Azeroth, and all his power came from the Lich King!
"It is Illidan, that half-elf, half-demon hybrid. He is sent by my creator, sent by the demon lord Kil'jaeden to destroy the Frozen Throne! If they break into the Frozen Throne before you, all will be lost. The Scourge will be completely destroyed. You must hurry! I will give you all the power I can."
Arthas felt a huge surge of power flow into his body, numbing his nerves and restoring his mental strength!
"Charge, servants! For the Lich King!"
Arthas knew that to defeat Illidan, he had to support the nerubians; otherwise, if they were defeated, his own force would be in a precarious situation!
"Ha! Let me see, the main character has arrived!" Arthas's actions caught Illidan's attention, and the green flames in his blindfolded eyes instantly flared up!
Kil'jaeden wanted him to destroy the Lich King, and Galen gave him the target of Death Knight Arthas, so today was a good day to solve them all!
Illidan directly abandoned the Nerubian King, whom he had seriously injured, and leaped high, spreading his demonic wings like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
Arthas's eyes flashed, and he pulled on Invincible's reins, running directly away from the battlefield!
Invincible beat its wings and ran forward, with Illidan in hot pursuit.
Arthas could see that the naga and elf forces were relying entirely on the momentum of the half-demon named Illidan. As long as he was kept away from the battlefield, the outcome would be uncertain!
Moreover, Arthas's power had suddenly surged, and he needed a moment to familiarize himself with the power bestowed by the Lich King. As long as he bought himself that time, he felt he could slay a god!
Illidan had never been a patient person. After chasing for a while, he forcibly accelerated and directly caught up with Arthas!
"You dare to face me alone, human? You are courting death!"
As Illidan approached, Arthas saw the appearance of this enemy. His purple body was covered in demonic Pattern , and he had curved horns growing from his forehead!
"Clang!"
Frostmourne and the Warglaives of Azzinoth clashed for the first time!
The battle of destiny had begun.
In the wind and snow, Galen and his party were still searching for traces of Illidan or Arthas. These two were the core of the battle and their target for this trip.
To this end, he had been waiting in the wind and snow for three days.
"Sigh, am I too early?"
The cold could not harm Galen. On the contrary, in this sub-zero temperature, he was still wearing a suit of armor over his close-fitting leather armor.
Valeera emerged from the wind and snow, reporting the latest news to Galen.
"Lord Commander, the battle on the Dragonblight coast has begun. Our waiting has not been in vain!"
Galen was energized!
Finally, it's here!
