Chapter 45 - Icecrown Citadel XIV
…………
The hall of the image was empty. Arthas knew that someone had just entered the place not long ago and even got the secret to defeat him. Even so, Frost Sorrow was still placed in his secret room with confidence.
The artillery fire was rumbling outside, and the Silver Northern Expedition Army had gathered in front of his fortress, and all the warriors in Azeroth were shouting to defeat him.
The Dark Prince felt the glimmer of frost, so kind, like a lover.
"My son?"
Alsace stopped and looked up slightly, as if he had seen the person talking.
"Can you feel it, son? Around you!"
The voice came from the sadness of frost. Arthas was not surprised. He was somewhat expecting, looking forward to what his father's soul would say. Terenas had been dead for many years, but had never spoken to him.
What caused such a special situation? Arthas reached out and touched his left chest. The impact of Fording's heart to shatter the ice on him has not yet dissipated, so his power has weakened slightly.
"The justice of the Holy Light has awakened."
Arthas laughed wildly and said to the skeleton face at the hilt of the Sword of Frost Sadness: "It seems that those who claim to be holy light have given you hope, and I will be happy to destroy it."
The rune sword trembled, and many ethereal souls flew around the sword body. They were originally a wisp of white mist and then turned into human forms. Arthas was surprised to find that he actually knew each of them.
"You are destined to be unable to escape the sin." Terenas's soul appeared before Arthas, maintaining the day he fell. "You will be judged endlessly."
"Judgement does not mean justice, father." Arthas replied, "In front of the Scourge's holy land, the strongest warriors on Azeroth have gathered in front of me, they have the ability to defeat me, and I... can also take this opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop."
In the parliament of the Forgotten Leader.
"The Alliance, the Horde, the Silver Northern Expedition Army, the Black Front Knights, and us, all the forces that resisted the Lich King in Azeroth have gathered together." Nathanos pointed to the punctuation points of various forces on the map, which had surrounded the Ice Crown Fortress. "There is no better chance to destroy the Scourge. In contrast, the Lich King must also know this. Everyone comes to attack him, which also means that he has the opportunity to destroy everyone at once."
In the image hall.
"The crimes you have committed, the gloomy terror you spread, and the ancient dark power you surrender, are not enough to escape the arrival of judgment." Terenas turned his head to look at Frost's sorrow, "I am just the first soul to be swallowed by your evil, and there are still millions of souls in this sword crying for freedom as they want. Don't you understand, my son? Resistance never stops. All your power comes from this sword, but unfortunately, this sword has long been overwhelmed. Your final support is no longer trustworthy."
A loud bang came from the Ice Crown Fortress, and the gate had been knocked open by the silver Northern Expedition Army's siege weapons, and countless roars rushed in.
"Look at this frozen castle, my son, the righteous warriors have gathered at your door."
"I know." Arthas replied slowly, he had reached out his hand, "regardless of whether the sword is full of holes or not, now, I just want to say..." Frost Zhishu was held in his hand, and all the souls that appeared suddenly disappeared. "It just so happened that Frost Zhishu was hungry."...
"Our actions must be fast and accurate, and they can only succeed but not fail." Nathanos emphasized, "The longer the time delays, the fallen soldiers will be resurrected as enemies. So we must act separately."
The Withered Look at North, "Presider, the pharmacist under the Lich King, is the most evil plague chemist in the Scourge. From the captured Scourge captives, they learned that the plague in front of the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation is this man's masterpiece."
"Please give him to me, sir." North stood up and bowed. This attitude made Nathanos very satisfied. If you want to deal with one expert, it would be better to use another expert.
"Lasuveos acts with you." The Withered added, looking at the instructor, who nodded.
"Veronara." Nathanos called the name of Commander of the Dark Ranger. He already knew the secret of Veronara's private contact with Sylvanas, but as long as the facts were not revealed, she would still obey the order. "I have heard of the story of the Queen of Blood Lannaser. She was as brave as you in her lifetime to resist the Lich King. Now, I order you to mobilize all the Dark Rangers and let the Sarein rest in peace."
"As for the order." said the Dark Ranger.
Belmont was left at the meeting and Nathanos met the anticipated gaze of the leader of the Dark Blade. "Belmont, the Black Knights and the Silver Northern Expedition Army have a small elite force that will sneak into the fort to fight with Vagri's leader Sivana. You can also help them, and don't let those winged guys appear on the battlefield."
“As you wish, Master.”
Nathanos nodded, at least no one has come forward to oppose his combat deployment now. "There is still the Frost Queen Sindagosa left, and I will face her in person."
"You... are alone?" Belmont said in surprise.
"Others are also burdensome." The wither's eyes swept out of the conference room, as if he had heard the sound of the final battle horn sounding in front of the Ice Crown Fortress.
"Everyone, I hope I can see you after everything is over."
The Fearless Expeditionary Force has not achieved any great results for a long time. Since Duke Bervar Fortagen was killed at the Gate of Heaven, the morale of the Alliance troops has been very low. In order to stop the depression from spreading among the troops, Varian decided to go to the front line in person.
The king's arrival did play a role, at least the soldiers knew who they were fighting for.
"Tirio!"
The Ashes Messenger was commanding the soldiers in front to block the first monsters gushing out of the Ice Crown Fortress, and the shouts from behind forced him to divert his sight.
"King Varian?" Fording was very surprised, "You shouldn't be here."
"No, my soldiers need me more than ever." Varian said, shook his head, following Jaina and Muradin behind him. It is said that the lady of Theramore even convinced Dalaran's mages to come and help.
"When can we break through the enemy's front?" asked the King of Stormwind City.
"Some of our warriors have attacked. When we completely occupy the Court of Bone, we can advance into the depths of the fortress."
