Chapter 1716: Wall Grass (Five Watches)
At first, Arthas thought that Duke would be like Vasqui, fighting him for control of the surrounding Frost Elementals. If that were the case, he would probably laugh out loud in his dreams.
Of course not!
Alsace had long regarded Duke as a lifelong enemy, naturally because of Duke's brilliant track record and unusual methods.
At first, he also thought that Duke was pretending to take care of his own women, and instead secretly controlled the elements around him. As soon as Duke spoke, Arthas knew he was wrong.
"Neozu or Arthas has never been a peerless powerhouse. Not before, not now, and not in the future. If this passage ends here, then it will only be a cruel sentence with no substance, and the second half of Duke's words made Arthas's face change color: "Only the Lich King, who endlessly draws power from his subordinates, is the true supreme powerhouse." ”
Almost as Duke finished speaking, Arthas felt a string break in his mind.
Has another leader been defeated?
Arthas remained silent, and Duke didn't let him go.
Duke spread his arms, and a set of huge numbers made of arcane energy was projected on his head.
The first number is 1, separated by a few empty spaces, the second set of numbers is 9, and after that, the third group of numbers is more than 10,000, and the fourth group of numbers goes directly to the million level.
Except for the first two sets of numbers, anyone can see that the last two sets of numbers are counting down rapidly.
Arthas was not stupid, he immediately thought about what the numbers represented.
Duke deliberately pointed out: "The Lich King himself is nothing more than a weak existence, and leaving aside all ties between you and your subordinates, there are at least double-digit beings in the coalition who can defeat you." But with so many undead providing you with soul power, whoever fights you means fighting the heavenly undead at the same time. ”
At this moment, Duke glanced back at Queen Xi, and Sylvanaston came to his senses.
No wonder no matter how hard she cultivated, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't beat Arthas. Because fighting the Lich King means fighting an entire army of more than 100 million undead.
As long as he can't kill instantly, no matter how many injuries he takes, the Lich King can recover himself by absorbing the soul power of his subordinates.
Conversely, as long as the entire Scourge army is destroyed, then the Lich King is a piece of meat on a cutting board, and he can chop it however he wants.
Sylvanas' fair face blushed with shame.
Duke put on a defensive posture in a majestic manner, and he used the frost element in his body to make a materialized ice ball that firmly wrapped himself.
Duke smiled faintly, and he made no secret of his provocation: "Therefore, the battle of every soldier in the coalition army is meaningful. I don't have to do anything, I just need to carry the number and quality of the undead under your command below the critical line, and I can wait until you are weakened. When you fall to the point where you can't withstand my attacks, it's my victory!"
Duke turned on more live projections of the various battlefields of Icecrown Glacier.
In the magic mirror, the coalition forces are advancing towards the Icecrown fortress in an orderly and step-by-step manner.
After entering the realm of the Icecrown Fortress, the Coalition forces laid their artillery almost flat, covering the advance of infantry and tanks with close-range firing.
Almost every 100 meters forward, he summoned the earth elemental under Alkavon's command to strengthen the ground under his feet and prevent the spider demons from digging holes and sneaking up.
The logistics troops first burned the corpse with flames, then sprinkled Naru holy water, and used a devastating method to cut off the back path of the Scourge Legion. It is also snuffing out the source of Alsace's power.
Unless the Scourge can acquire corpses faster than they can be annihilated, Arthas will inevitably decline in power.
What disgusted Arthas was that Varian, for example, seemed to have known this secret that only the Lich King should have known, and after defeating Lord Malogal, they took the Shadow Frost Shard directly from its corpse.
This is his control, with the help of the Scourge Leader to control more of his subordinates' spiritual energy nodes!
His control over his subordinates is typical of a tree root-like structure. The leader of the branch controls the captain of the branch, and then the captain controls the elites of his subordinates, and the elite controls the lowest-level undead.
Now that Varian has destroyed the branches, Arthas is inevitably angry. The most odious of all was Duke, who used his equally powerful psychic power to disrupt Arthas's efforts to overcome the eliminated leaders and re-establish the circuit of psychic domination.
This series of actions shows that Duke has premeditated.
Actually, this time he wronged Duke.
Duke really didn't know that [Shadow Frost Shard] was the key point for Arthas to get energy from the Scourge Legion.
He told everyone in advance to remember to collect [Shadow Frost Fragments], just because he knew that by combining all the [Shadow Frost Fragments] together, he could form a powerful artifact two-handed axe, and the [Shadow Sorrow] known as 'Cutting people when you see people, and splitting ghosts when you see ghosts'!
Whether it is a misunderstanding or a deliberate attempt, the absolutely irreconcilable position of the two sides is destined to leave only one of the two after today.
"Haha!" Arthas laughed twice, "Do you really think that all of your heroes who I have broken up will be victorious? By the way, Anastrian, wearing the crystal skull that Neozu once used, has successfully raided Naxxramas, and even the Red Dragon Queen, whom you believe to be your successor, has been imprisoned by him. ”
"Oh, is it?" said Duke, unmoved.
"Just force your composure. There's nothing left over there to counterbalance Anastrian. He will soon kill Gianna and Kael'thas and offer them to me. You think you can have Gianna forever ......"
Before Arthas could finish speaking, Duke interrupted him: "Of course! Gianna is mine! Every muscle and every inch of skin in her body is my possession, and it has nothing to do with you Alsace." And I can get her to have a baby, can you?"
With that, Duke looked at Arthas's lower body with disdain.
I thought that after becoming the Lich King, my soul was completely cold and no longer had any feelings. Alsace found himself wrong, and he was very wrong.
It was precisely because he kept the memories of his time as a human being, that resentment, those hatreds, he couldn't let go of them at all.
What Duke said was the eternal pain in Alsace.
"You ......" was about to say something, but his words were interrupted by Duke again.
"Do you really think that Anastrian's wallgrass has completely lost his will and will absolutely obey your every command? That cold crystal skull, well-mm, it's not wrong to call him [Betrayer's Skull]. ”
