Chapter 1245 Failed Mechanism [First Update]

Arthas couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Kel'Thuzad had left a backup force.

He was indeed somewhat impressed by this lich.

This subordinate is indeed not generally useful.

Not to mention that before the undead natural disaster raged, the entire cursed sect was formed by Kel'Thuzad.

After the Scourge of the Undead truly spread across Lordaeron, Kel'Thuzad's knowledge played a huge amount of role in this army.

Many of the technologies and units in the Scourge were developed by Kel'Thuzad.

A large number of psychics and lichs have been taught by him.

The abomination sewn from corpses was of his design.

Even the gargoyles were transformed from vampire bats in the swamp by him and the necromancers of the Scourge.

It can be said that half of the credit for the Scourge's current strength comes from Kel'Thuzad.

At the same time, Kel'Thuzad also provided him with a lot of useful suggestions on how to build the Scourge.

Now facing Fortress City, it was Kel'Thuzad's backup that provided him with a solution.

"Like a reliable prime minister under a king."

Alsace commented.

"Like the great magician Sander from the Orc Wars."

Thinking of this, Arthas could not help but compare Kel'Thuzad with the figure he had longed for in his childhood and who had caused him great suffering some time ago.

That man, when he was a child, he kept hearing rumors about him from his father.

11 About how the archers he personally formed defeated the orc wolf cavalry on the plains,

About how he led the alliance's army to defeat the trolls, defeat the orcs, and move towards victory one after another.

About his rebellion in Alterac and when Lordaeron reached its most dangerous moment, how he subdued the Barov family with his personal charm, raised an army behind the enemy, and saved Lordaeron from the fire.

Not to mention, his apprentice was the goddess in Alsace's heart that he couldn't get.

It can be said that that man was the man he admired most from his childhood until his fall, and was also the subject he most wanted to have.

If you think about it carefully, Kel'Thuzad is actually very similar to him.

Both are equally powerful magicians.

But in fields other than magic, both of them also have considerable talents and accomplishments, such as military, politics...

Ye Ting was able to use his talents to strengthen the Alliance and deliver victory after victory, and Kel'Thuzad did the same with the Scourge.

The only problem is that the "king" today is not me...

Thinking of this, the smile on Alsace's lips disappeared.

This was the fact that annoyed him the most.

Although Kel'Thuzad seemed loyal to him, he was not actually the master of the Scourge.

Lich King.

The guy who created all the tragedies.

He is the master of the Scourge Legion,

He is also the person Kel'Thuzad truly loyal to.

"One day, I will become the real king and the person you loyal to."

Thinking of this, Alsace clenched his fists.

"Boom——"

An explosion from the city interrupted the prince's thoughts.

Only then did he realize that it had been quite a while since the lich left the engine.

According to the original plan, after Kel'Thuzad's engine shuts down, the magic barrier in front of him will temporarily disappear due to the collapse of the circuit.

And that's the Scourge's chance.

He is always ready to lead his death knights to charge against the city in front of him, defeating the magicians' defenses before they can repair the damaged nodes and restore the barrier.

However, until now, what was expected has not happened.

Does it mean that the spell that activates that mechanism takes so long to cast?

Arthas looked doubtfully in the direction where the lich had left just now.

He saw the skeleton wearing a robe and surrounded by chains slowly floating towards him. A vague look of doubt and confusion could be seen on the skull's face.

"What's wrong, Lich?"

The death knight took the initiative to greet him.

"Didn't you go to activate the mechanism? Why are you back?"

"The plan...failed." Kel'Thuzad shook his head, looking a little depressed.

"Has your plan been discovered?"

"No, I am sure that my plan has not been discovered. After all, if it had been discovered, the mechanism would have been dismantled long ago. But in fact, it was not. The explosion just now was proof that the mechanism was activated. What makes me strange is that such an explosion actually There are no nodes that break the barrier

"Or, they actually changed the structure of the entire magic barrier? But how is that possible? Which fool would put so much effort into doing such a thing? Judging from the workload alone, it is almost as troublesome as building a new barrier. ....

"No, there should be something wrong somewhere else, but why..."

Kel'Thuzad was puzzled, but in fact, his first guess was correct.

There is indeed a fool who spent a lot of effort to change the structure of the magic barrier - or rather the structure of one of the nodes.

That is Ye Ting.

Although the magicians of Dalaran refused to transfer the key treasure hidden in the treasure house to summon Archimonde, he felt that it was hard to persuade the damn ghost.

But considering that this was the place where he made his fortune, he still plans to fulfill his duty in the end.

In all of Dalaran, he was the only one who knew that there was Kel'Thuzad among the Scourge who could threaten the magical barrier that the magicians thought was infallible.

In the original history, this magical barrier was finally lifted after Kel'Thuzad found a flaw.

As one of the main persons in charge of Dalaran's defense today, Ye Ting learned about the entire structure of the magic barrier from Antonidas.

This magic barrier is indeed the crystallization of Dalaran magic. It is quite clever in design. The issue of traitors was taken into consideration at the beginning of the design of the magic barrier, so the entire structure does not allow much room for external influence.

In other words, the magic barrier completely prevents cracking from the outside - no matter how much that person knows about the magic barrier, he cannot do it.

As long as the magic barrier is raised, it means that people outside can only lift it through brute force.

In other words, in the original history, Kel'Thuzad was able to break through this magical barrier entirely because he had an internal back-up plan.

Since the level of the magician who presides over the magic barrier is basically the same as Kel'Thuzad himself, or even more sophisticated, this backhand will definitely not be placed within the body and basic structure of the magic barrier, otherwise it will be easily discovered.

As the defensive magic of the entire Dalaran, the design of the magic barrier is quite reliable and robust.

Considering this, this backhand can only be placed near important nodes of the magic barrier, otherwise it will not be able to cause any essential damage even if it is activated.

The important nodes of the magic barrier are either in the Violet Castle or in the magician towers of several councilors. There is no place in Dalaran that is more tightly defended than these areas.

You must know that the Magician Tower is the most important fortress and private space of every Magician. Every Magician will strictly protect his own Magician Tower. Even Magicians of the same level will find it difficult to approach, let alone sneak into.

This is true even for 743 Kel'Thuzad, who was also a member of the Council.

After thinking about it, the only place Kel'Thuzad could leave behind that could destroy the magic barrier was the location of his former Magician Tower.

Definitely, even if the reasoning reaches this point, Ye Ting will not be able to find the trap set by Kel'Thuzad immediately - who knows what hidden magic Kel'Thuzad will leave behind? No one can hide what the magician wants to hide. Find.

Even if it is found, if it is a trigger trap and accidentally destroys the node directly, the barrier will still collapse.

So, he thought of a better way.

That was a method of removing fuel from the bottom: transferring the nodes originally connected to the Magician Tower at Kel'Thuzad's seat to other places, such as his own...apprentice's Magician Tower.

With his level of magic, it is still possible to do this.

In this way, no matter what Kel'Thuzad's backup plan is, he will not be able to destroy the magic barrier - the nodes are no longer there, so what's the point of destroying the barrier?

Kel'Thuzad couldn't even imagine that there was a spoiler like Ye Ting in Dalaran, which immediately ruined his plan.

But he was undeterred:

"Forget it, since this backup plan can't be used, we have to make another plan."

Robustness: The concept in computers is the transliteration of robust, which means robust and strong. It is also the Ability of the system to survive abnormal and dangerous situations. For example, the robustness of computer software is whether it can survive input errors, disk failures, network overloads, or intentional attacks without crashing or crashing.

In addition, there is only one update today because I am hiking a snow mountain. .
