Chapter 1,244 The Lich’S Backup [Second Update]

As the Scourge Legion slowly retreated, the first siege finally came to an end.

This battle was undoubtedly a great victory for Dalaran.

They relied on the magic against the undead to defeat the Scourge Legion. The entire Scourge Legion tried their best to be powerless against this magic city.

This result greatly increased the morale of the Magicians and strengthened their determination to win.

The Scourge, which destroyed Lordaeron and defeated Quel'Thalas, is now defeated in front of Dalaran, which undoubtedly proves the power of Dalaran.

They did not repeat the mistake of the last time, allowing the enemy to easily break through the heavy defenses, enter the city, and seize the artifact.

Even Antonidas was pleased with the victory in this battle.

Only Ye Ting shook his head secretly.

These magicians had no idea that among their enemies there were many "ones" who had once belonged to Dalaran.

Especially the second in command of the Scourge, Kel'Thuzad, who was once a big shot in Dalaran and even served as a member of the six-man council.

However, unlike most magicians, Kel'Thuzad was obsessed with the darkest and most taboo areas of arcane magic, insisting on studying taboo necromancy, and was therefore ostracized by his peers.

But worldly ethics cannot stop him.

He constantly explores everything in the magical world and the mysterious miracles it creates, but he is also very frustrated by the conservativeness and rigidity of his colleagues.

Finally, Antonidas learned all this and warned him severely. But Kel'Thuzad did not stop his pursuit of the forbidden power. Instead, he abandoned his wealth and once prestigious identity, gave up the way of the Kirin Tor, and left Dalaran forever.

He went all the way north, pursuing the Lich King's call, and finally got his wish in Northrend.

Everyone knows what happened next.

Kel'Thuzad formed the Curse Sect, seducing many psychics who also worshiped the power of darkness, and even once wanted to bring the Barov family down.

——Looking at all the human countries, only the Barov family has sufficient manpower and material resources but does not control enough troops. At the same time, it rarely intervenes in disputes between countries. Their astringency was perfect for Kel'Thuzad to hide.

However, Kel'Thuzad still underestimated the power of House Barov.

Although their backbone, the great magician Sander Lever, has been gone for many years, his shadow still protects the family entrenched in Alterac.

At the same time, Sander——or the power left by Ye Ting, such as the care of the Windrunner family, the existence of the legendary assassin Garona and the dragon maid Onyxia are even more important to men.

The sect does not submit to its people.

Back to business.

All in all, as one of the true top leaders of Dalaran, Kel'Thuzad knew everything about Dalaran, from every plant and tree to the entire defense system.

Although the anti-undead barrier is a newly added function of Dalaran's magic barrier, its function is still based on the original magic barrier. When Dalaran established this magic barrier, Kel'Thuzad himself participated. At that time, he was also A member of the Council of Six.

In other words, on the Scourge's side, Kel'Thuzad had already laid the groundwork for this battle before leaving Dalaran, but the magicians in Dalaran were not aware of Kel'Thuzad's existence.

Not to mention that after Kel'Thuzad was resurrected, he never showed up with much fanfare.

Even if Antonidas were to recognize him face to face, no one would be able to identify the great magician who was in charge of the Kirin Tor through his current lich skeleton appearance.

Because of this, even Ye Ting, who controls the plot, has trouble reminding him in this regard.

With such white teeth, who would believe that Kel'Thuzad was related to the Scourge? They might even think of him as slandering their meritorious predecessors.

-When Kel'Thuzad left the Kirin Tor, he left completely voluntarily. At that time, his undead research was only a superficial animal experiment, and he did not make a fuss and overrun his work.

If you want to rely on this evidence to prove that Kel'Thuzad is a natural disaster boss, even Antonidas, who was handling the matter at the time, would not believe it.

If the calculation is done mentally but not carefully, Dalaran is probably going to be in bad luck.

On the side of the Scourge, while the undead were filling their lives one after another, Kel'Thuzad was also observing the operation of the magic barrier.

The sacrifices of the undead seem to be in vain, but in fact their deaths do help the Lich's research.

Relying on his understanding of the original system of magic barriers, he generally figured out how to deal with the troublesome barrier in front of him.

So, the Lich found Arthas

"Don't worry, Your Highness,"

Through the hollow pipe, Kel'Thuzad made a cold and hollow voice:

"This magic barrier is no longer a concern. I have found a way to remove it."

"Oh?" Arthas perked up, "I almost forgot. You were a member of the Kirin Tor's six-member council when you were alive. You should know a lot about this magical barrier, right?

Kel'Thuzad laughed in a cold voice: "Haha, not only do we know each other, I also played a part in the establishment of this magic barrier. According to my observation, although the magic barrier has changed a lot since I left, in general The main structure has not changed much, it is still the same as before, which gave me the opportunity to destroy it.

"How to destroy it?"

"The energy core of this magic barrier is the center of Dalaran, the Violet Castle, where most of the energy that maintains the barrier comes from.

"But the Violet Castle node alone could not maintain such a huge amount of barrier, and the control was too rigid, so in addition to the main node, we also set up six secondary nodes at that time, just next to the members of the six-member Kirin Tor Council. magician tower.”

"Including your original Magician Tower?" Arthas immediately understood what the other party meant.

"That's right."

The Lich gave a stiff smile to his skull face.

“After I was inspired by the Lich King, I knew that one day I would return to this city in 5.2, so I set up a magic mechanism under my Magician Tower in advance.

Although my magician tower was replaced by a new Kirin Tor Senator's with my departure, the mechanism remained undiscovered. Now, as long as I activate that mechanism now, the magic crystal will be detonated, causing a violent explosion, thereby destroying the magic node.

“At that point, the huge amounts of barrier will fail due to closed-loop collapse, and will not be able to rise again until the node is repaired. And repairing that node is not something that can be done in a short time.

"At that time, Dalaran's door will be open to us."

The death knight and the lich looked at each other, and both sides saw pride and urgency in each other's eyes.
