Chapter 1236 It’s Not Time to Summarize Your Life Yet

Old, decayed, decadent, dull-eyed...

In a room with thick curtains and almost no sunlight, Sally Whitemane took care of such an old man.

Duke simply couldn't connect the Alexandros who looked like a dying old man in front of him with the 'Ashbringer' who conquered the Molten Core a few months ago.

"What happened?" Duke almost whispered to himself.

Sally, wearing a priest's robe, trotted over, leaned into Duke's ear, and whispered: "Both of the foster father's sons..."

After Sally explained, Duke knew the whole story.

Because of Duke's reminder and the phantom enchantment placed in Alexandros' armor early in the morning, Alexandros escaped the inevitable death.

Avoiding disaster does not mean gaining happiness.

When the space trap of the Burning Legion was launched, the angry old Mograine cleared the house. Because the hammer was lost, he drew his sword. With two swords, he killed his son Renault, who had defected to the Scourge Legion.

However this is not the end.

Almost instantly, the aura of death that had long been hidden in Renault's heart turned Renault into a death knight. However, the Scourge Legion's conspiracy does not stop there.

Under the conspiracy of the enemy, Darion Mograine, the youngest son of old Mograine, also secretly disobeyed his father's order to stay behind and followed him to the Sodoril River.

It was at this time that he did not see the scene where Renault attacked his father. Instead, when he turned around, he witnessed his father killing Renault with his own hands not far away. Darien didn't know the whole story, but he was confused when he saw that his father actually killed his brother with his own hands.

It was then that the spy who had brought him here revealed his true face - the undead assassin. He easily killed the distraught Darion and brought his body back to the Scourge, transforming him into a death knight.

In one day, of the two biological sons who could inherit his legacy, one rebelled and fell and was killed, the other was killed by a sneak attack, and the two sons who were paladins suddenly became death knights.

For an old Paladin who has fought for Lordaeron all his life, fought with the Scourge for six years, and made it his duty to fight against evil, nothing could be more devastating than this.

Obviously, physical injuries are secondary, and mental trauma is the key.

Sally's eyes were red, and she said with an expression as if she was about to cry: "Since that day, my adoptive father has hardly eaten or slept, and I don't know what to do."

Duke looked at Sally and sighed deeply.

The situation in this life is much better than in the original history. If at this point in time, old Mograine would have been killed long ago, and Renault and Sally would have degenerated into crazy Scarlet Crusaders and become what players call "dog men and women" .

Now, Sally is completely cleansed and becomes a priest wrapped in holy light. But Duke couldn't estimate the hard work of Renault and Darien.

There is no way, he is also a human being, it is not tragic if he can take care of the people closest to him, he is already exhausted mentally and physically. What's more, this happened when he was on an expedition to Black Wing Lair, and there was really nothing he could do.

The longer he has been in this world and the more he has integrated into this era, the more emotional Duke becomes.

"Is it Duke?" Old Mograine still looked confused.

Sally's face showed surprise, because this was the first time she heard her adoptive father speak in several days.

"Yes! Mr. Marcus is here."

Mograine twisted his neck, which seemed to be half rusty, revealing a face that was still sinking into the abyss of despair.

"You are so busy, you don't need to come to see me. I am enough, as an old man who is dying, I am enough...whether as a courtier, as a paladin, or as a failed father. My life...it turns out that I have... It's time to summarize." He spoke very slowly, but it made Duke feel like the sharp teeth of a saw were pulling on his heart.

Duke strode forward and pressed old Mograine's broad shoulders with both hands: "No! Alexandros! It's not time to sum up your life yet. You! In the name of the commander-in-chief of the alliance, I , order you! Look at me!"

The old man raised his head in confusion.

The next second, he saw Duke switch his state.

First of all, the golden divine form. The dazzling holy light on Duke, in Alexandros's impression, could almost catch up with Archbishop Alonsos Faol and Uther.

After another second, Duke suddenly switched to the shadow form. The dark aura that was as deep as the endless universe made him, a paladin, tremble.

"Duke, what do you mean..."

Duke pointed out something: "Did you see it? The boundary between light and darkness is not that clear. Likewise, the boundary between life and death is thinner than you think."

"..."

"A while ago, the tribe announced that in order to resist the terrifying Ahn'Qiraj insect army, the 'Forgotten' would be included in the tribe."

"The Forsaken...is that Anastrian guy?"

"Yes! Why would the Alliance acquiesce to this? Isn't it because there are too many enemies who want to destroy the world of Azeroth and are too powerful? The Burning Legion, the Scourge, the Ancient Gods, the Elemental Lords, and all kinds of unscrupulous people. Evil God...Alexandros, this world has long passed the era where enemies can be dealt with by alliance alone."

Old Mograine was silent again.

"Yes! We hate the Horde because they have brought extremely serious disasters to the Alliance. Millions of soldiers and civilians died tragically under the slaughter of the Horde. We will never forget this. But now the Horde is our ally. The Scourge also swept across Across the Eversong Forest, Anastrian also betrayed his people and became undead. Yet they now have to side with us to fight for the world."

Old Mograine raised his head to the sky and took a long breath. He understood what Duke meant.

"Since there is the first undead who can escape the will of the Lich King, there will be the second and third... Maybe in the future, Darien will rejoin the alliance as a death knight, or at least become Comrades of the Alliance.”

This is not Duke's boasting.

According to the original development of history, Darien will break away from the control of the Lich King Arthas in the future, lead a large group of death knights to form the Knights of the Ebon Blade, and then fight endlessly for the just cause of the world.

Hearing Duke persuade him like this, old Mograine suddenly laughed.

"Duke, you, the commander of the alliance, are really bad. You don't want a veteran who is almost sixty years old to retire."

Seeing the smiling face of the old paladin, Duke knew that old Mograine had finally thought about it and patted his shoulder: "Hey, old brother, your life is far from being summed up yet!"
