Invincible Chapter 687
With Void Spirit, who is good at traveling through time and space, and Deathwing as the key, the Burning Legion opened the passage to Azeroth without Medivh.
The location of the gate of time and space lacks suspense a bit, it is still chosen in the cursed land, and uses the gate of darkness.
But a series of events later proved that Archimonde was very particular about opening the door here.
The Cursed Land is located at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent, and the human civilization with its center of gravity in the north is clearly out of reach.
After the invasion, the first to lose the chain was Lordaeron, the leader of the alliance.
After Terenas was rescued in Alsace and became the Lich King, his temperament changed drastically. Even the local nobles who visited him several times a year felt his moodiness, let alone his close vassals.
And Lordaeron has experienced the ravages of the Scourge, even if it can't be described as a loss of essence, a comment that is seriously injured will never escape.
The Dalong area, which was once a fertile land, was ravaged by the plague of natural disasters, and it was impossible to recover in ten or eight years. However, a large number of nobles rebelled and were taken away by the banshee, leaving many places lacking organizers and leaders.
Many aristocrats are indeed jerks, but the bastards are mainly reflected in greedy exploitation, and most of them have no shortage of organizational management skills. Now that these people have disappeared in large numbers, the people below suddenly appear to be in disarray, acting recklessly, taking it for granted , All kinds of chaos caused social turmoil and people's grievances boiled.
Therefore, speaking of Lordaeron in the past few years when Kane was absent, it is really the work of the king as the king, and the work of the subjects as the subjects. If the Falken Kingdom uses its own system to radiate influence, many people's livelihood and employment will be solved. The problem is that the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which was not defeated by the Scourge, may disintegrate on its own in the next few years.
Also, the paladins of the Silver Hand are not having a good time. Fao Port was built on the basis of the Silver Hand family city, the Hand of Tyre.
It can be said that the loss was heavy. One out of every two paladins lost their loved ones in that catastrophe.
This also caused some paladins to question the way of the Holy Light, or they were too hostile and no longer willing to uphold the inherent philosophy of the Silver Hand. Among them is Saidan Da Sohan, one of the five founding members of the group.
The disagreement of ideas led to the internal division of the Silver Hand. Dathrohan, old Abbendis, and old Mograine formed the Scarlet Crusade. Uther, Gavinrad, and Benedictus still supported the Silver Hand.
Another character worth mentioning is Tirion Fordring.
Fording's qualifications are very old, and together with Uther and Dathrohan, they belonged to one of the first five paladins who assisted Alonsus Faol in creating the Silver Hand.
It's just that his sentence "I have seen noble orcs and despicable humans" can be said to be a portrayal of his life. This is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, doesn't look at the population and the country, only asks whether it is justice, examines the world from a perceptual perspective and makes judgments.
Fording was disqualified as a paladin because of the orc veteran Eitrigg's problems.
But the belief in the Holy Light has never been extinguished in his heart.
Kane's evaluation of Fording is still relatively high.
He once used Che Guevara and Castro of the original world to compare Fording and Uther respectively, not talking about comprehensive factors, but simply looking at it from the perspective of character, he admired the former more, because the latter had a common problem, That is to cherish feathers.
Fording is the kind of person who can disregard his former and later names for the sake of justice in his heart. His thoughts are purer and purer.
For this reason, during the years when Kane was at Fording's lowest point, Shadow secretly took care of Fording and his family, especially his wife, who did not die in the Stratholme incident like the original historical line, but But it failed to escape the Fao Port Change.
It is said that scars are a man's medal, and it is said that pain and disaster make people grow. Perhaps for Fording, it is necessary to experience these in order to truly mature.
It can't be said to be mature. It seems more appropriate to describe it as making up your mind and correcting your weaknesses. The weakness of Fording in the past was that he lacked the consciousness of a leader, and his inner arrogance made him disdain the power grab.
And after experiencing a series of pains, he finally gave up the past practice of preferring to hide from the world, and took the initiative to try to control his fate.
And a true-tempered and righteous person like Fording, who has a soul appeal, has never lacked fans.
Thus, the Silver Crusade was established.
An important reason why the Silver Crusade was able to set up the flagpole is that many people in the Silver Hand and the Illuminati Sect behind it were attracted by some of their enlightened views and styles in the process of interacting with the Holy Palace. Dissatisfaction arose between the Silver Hand and the Illuminati sect.
In fact, the Silver Hand has been improving all the time, but after all, there is an invisible framework restricting it, and there are also some years of disadvantages, which cannot be corrected in a short time.
But not everyone can understand this, especially in the face of disasters and wars, when these disadvantages affect the success probability and efficiency of solving problems, these people who feel the personal pain can't tolerate such mistakes. However, for various reasons, the senior executives of Silver Hand decided that under the current situation, it is not suitable to carry out a large-scale rectification. As a result, given the opportunity, these people abandoned the pit.
They despise the Silver Hand's bureaucracy, bloat, slowness, and being out of step with the times, but they also don't like the radicalism of the Scarlet Crusade, as well as the racism and extremism that have begun to trend.
So he ran to follow Fording, and this is how the Silver Crusade was established.
The branch of the Silver Knights suddenly seemed a bit out of place. This is because with the help of Kane, overtly and secretly, they had their own foundation and developed relatively well, otherwise, I am afraid that they would become the three forces that are not in the mainstream.
Such a comment, a very important point, is that the major forces active in Azeroth, no matter which side it is, it is not really a serious injury at this time.
The Scourge seemed to be a bit unlucky, but after careful calculation, they didn't suffer much.
You must know that Kel'Thuzad did not resurrect after being killed like the original historical line, but has always brought its regiment. This is quite different. After so many years and so many battles, a group of talents must be cultivated.
The most feared thing about this kind of organization is disconnection, people's death, and government. After many years of work, it was suddenly cut off and disbanded. Many projects that originally had potential were just in vain. And as long as the leader is always in place, and he is not an idiot, his set of ideas, even if accumulated over the years, will be somewhat successful.
Kel'Thuzad belongs to this category. He successfully escaped from Caer Darrow, and the Necromancer series and Bone series at hand are very impressive, far stronger than the original historical line.
In addition, the Lich King also has a benefit that the original historical line does not have, the Eternal Dragon.
In addition to providing prophetic information, the Eternal Dragon can also open the gate of time and space. Moreover, not all the actions planned by him were blocked and ended in failure like the old Hillsbrad Hills, the Black Swamp, and the purification of Stratholme in the original historical line.
This is actually the reason why the Lich King dared to betray the Burning Legion for the second time when the situation seemed to be very unfavorable. He can completely strengthen himself by cooperating with Eternal Dragon and obtaining benefits from other time and space.
At the same time, the Lich King's choice to rescue Alsace and become one with him was also influenced by the Eternal Dragon. After all, after seeing the past of multiple parallel worlds, Ner'zhul discovered that Alsace's potential is indeed good. The version where Alsace is united is the strongest.
To sum up, the Lich King seems to have failed in the Southern Expedition, lost troops and generals, betrayed relatives, and fled to the icy and snowy Northrend continent, and was surrounded by the gradually developing Freemasonry.
The technology mastered by the Lich King is relatively high-end and unique. The joining of the Eternal Dragon makes it possible to obtain resources from other worlds and strengthen itself. And the departure and rebellion of the Dread Demon King and others can be regarded as eliminating the discordant factors within the group. Therefore, it is still an extremely important pole. If you don’t pay attention to it and give it time to develop, one day it will make the entire group The world is surprised.
Of course, Eternal Dragon is not open to kindness. They cooperated with the Lich King mainly because of their technology and achievements in the fields of souls and undead.
There is a saying that the more people I meet, the more I like dogs.
The bronze dragons also had a similar feeling. The reason why they turned black into eternal dragons was largely because they had seen too much rise and fall, and then they thought they had seen clearly the so-called rice soup of justice instilled in them by the Titans.
This is actually one of the points that Kane has always criticized Titan. The commission and appointment of the management are too hasty, and they are all the party that has not really been tested in practice. It can be said that this kind of thing, the more beautiful, noble, and pure the ideals they uphold at the beginning, the easier it is to blacken and degenerate when they enter the real world, and turn from one extreme to another.
In this regard, Kane obviously believes in the wisdom of the East of the original world. There is great wisdom in the four words "Zhongzheng Peace" carefully chewed. Left to right, too fast or too slow, aggressive procrastination, will cause problems.
Since they think they have seen through the world and no longer believe in the evil words of the Titans, the Bronze Dragons will inevitably look for a new 'Tao' to fill the confusion in their hearts.
Then they discovered that chaos is the trend of the evolution direction of the universe, and darkness is the true eternity.
The tragedy is that, as a Titan creation, the Bronze Dragon is order-oriented and nature-oriented. It is one of the many sampan boats that appear against the general trend of the universe.
In order to completely get rid of their own limitations, the eternal dragons started their journey, and cooperation with the Lich King is just one of the projects.
The key point of this project is that the Lich King and Kel'Thuzad are extremely talented in the direction of immortality and soul. Only by taking the initiative to publicize certain topics can the eternal dragons be satisfied.
When it comes to the changes in the Lich King over the past few years, we have to mention geological weapons.
Kane had a hunch back then and planned to go to the Broken Isles quickly to see if the geological weapon was activated by the super-large magic circle there. If it was, it should be taken down. times, there will be a second time, the nth time.
With this weapon, the Lich King successfully brought a lot of losses to the Alliance during Kane's absence.
Not only Garin City in the Falcon Kingdom, Boralus in Kul Tiras, the Royal City of Gilneas, Dalaran City, Ironforge, and Silvermoon City in Quel'Thalas have all been attacked successively. To the strike of geological weapons.
Kane stopped talking, and even went to another world with the Red Dragon Queen, Green Dragon Queen and elite backbones, which greatly weakened the bench thickness of the lawful and good camp in Azeroth.
The blue dragons are actively preparing to destroy the world with the mad Malygos in Coldarra. The green dragon, already haunted by the Emerald Nightmare, has lost its backbone. The red dragon has not yet recovered from the loss of being enslaved by the demon soul. The queen and the backbones have disappeared without a trace. That's pretty good.
So the guardian dragon series is tantamount to abolished.
Without them, Cenarius, the demigod, can't hold on. Besides, Cenarius is not idle. The Qiraji are just around the corner. Seeing that the second battle of quicksand is about to start, Cenarius is always stationed in Ann Golo crater, what else do you want?
It was against this background that Illidan Stormrage made his debut, which greatly changed the global situation in Azeroth.
