Chapter 81: Memories of the Past
As the prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Arthas was destined to bear great responsibilities from the day he was born. Therefore, since he was a child, he followed the greatest dwarf hero Muladin Bronzebeard to learn martial arts under the arrangement of his father. Under the influence of Muladin's excellent training and good family education, Arthas gradually grew into an excellent prince. He was kind, enthusiastic, upright, brave... and almost possessed all the good qualities that the world possessed. Although, sometimes, he would show a little bit of arrogance, he was almost perfect as the heir to the future kingdom.
Therefore, his father, King Terenas, the ruler of Lordaeron, and the subjects of the kingdom were not only proud of having such a prince, but also placed hopes of revitalizing the kingdom and even the alliance camp on him. To a certain extent, Arthas lost himself from the beginning and became a symbol painted with countless marks.
As Arthas grew older, he gradually realized the historical mission he carried. This huge pressure forced him to work harder to train himself. At this point, he basically had enough understanding of his life value. Under the influence of countless people, the prince's life goals were established in this way.
It is also for the above reasons that Arthas tried to prove his wishes became very urgent. At this moment, Kelthuzad was making trouble in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. The evil doctrine he spread blinded countless people who longed for happiness and transformed them into a walking dead Scourge Legion. The Scourge Legion not only endangered the people on the border of Lordaeron, but also shook the foundation of the entire kingdom. In this case, Arthas had to stand up and try to prevent this tragedy from becoming increasingly serious. Because this was his responsibility as a prince and an opportunity.
King Terenas would not give up on this opportunity to help his son establish his prestige and gain respect. But he still made a cautious decision, which was to ask the prince to assist the commander of the army, Uther, the messenger of the light, instead of replacing him. In real history, this practice was also often used. The role of a young prince should be a learner. However, we must admit that modesty is a virtue that is difficult for a young man with extremely high ambitions and noble status.
At the beginning, Arthas was able to put his position right, so he respected the messenger of light very much. But as time went by, the arrogant prince began to find that the senior around him was so pedantic and conservative. On the other hand, the huge harm caused by natural disasters to the people of Lordaeron also made Arthas heartbroken. His strong sense of responsibility and historical mission made Arthas hate natural disasters to the core. This hatred also turned into a strong desire.
Friends who like to study human nature will have this understanding: desire can give people the greatest motivation. When someone is trying to pursue and satisfy their own desires, they will do their best, or even deviate from some of their own life principles. In history, there are countless people who use any means to achieve their goals. Arthas had such signs at this time. In this case, once a fuse appears, it may cause people to lose themselves.
The events that dominated Arthas' life finally happened. Arthas and the wizard Gianna Prodmore began to study a deadly plague. Those affected by this plague have become soldiers of the undead army - this undead army is actually the Scourge. Arthas and Jaina went through hardships and found Kel Thujad, the psychic who spread the plague, and executed him. Unfortunately, the rice that spread the plague had already been transported into Stantamsome, and all the residents had been infected by the plague, and it was only a matter of time before they became the walking dead of the Scourge.
At the same time, Uther, the messenger of light who led the knights to support, has also arrived. He has seen that he deeply respected his people and became a zombie puppet in a blink of an eye. The prince could not watch his people give to the undead natural disaster in vain. Arthas, who was extremely sad and angry, ordered a "great cleaning" of the city, leaving no one left behind. Uther, shocked, scolded Arthas angrily.
Unexpectedly, Arthas had made up his mind, and not only refused to listen, but also removed Uther's position as the leader of the Knights of Silver Hands as the prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Jaina was unwilling to watch the prince do such a thing, and turned around and left with Uther.
As soon as the story came to this point, the little guy Rowe exclaimed, "Ah, Arthas and Jaina are couples!"
Murphy smiled, not caring about Rowe's interruption, because the others started to talk and said, "Yes, Jaina and Arthas are couples, but it was because of this that Alsace decided to rush into Stantholm!"
"Running into Stantam? What to do?" Everyone didn't understand.
Murphy sneered, "Kill people, kill those residents who have been infected with the undead plague and will soon become zombies!" Murphy's tone was extremely plain, but the coldness in his words made people shocked.
Drow frowned slightly and reached out to hold Murphy's hand.
Murphy glanced at Zoer, and a warm light was dyed in his beautiful big eyes, and then said: "In order to prevent more zombies from appearing and expanding the Scourge, Arthas and the Fear Demon King Melganis began a murder competition. However, during the massacre, Assas's extreme suppression and sad mental state made him doubt his strength and faith, which eventually led to Assas's spirit eventually collapsed due to the pressure of being too heavy in his heart, and gradually became an Avenger who yearned for all power. In order to avenge Melganisli, the master behind the scenes, he was just a pawn placed in the Scourge Legion, and he was ordered to lure the prince into the trap of the Lich King - he could do anything.
From a rational point of view, Arthas's behavior was understandable and reasonable in the circumstances at that time. But through this incident, Uther, the messenger of Light, found that Arthas had a strong desire for revenge hidden in his heart. Uther was very angry and accused Arthas of his behavior as a blasphemy of the Holy Light, which became the last straw that crushed Arthas' pursuit of the Holy Light."
Listening to Murphy's faint narration, everyone fell silent. They seemed to understand a little, and understood what Alsace felt at that time.
After massacring Stantosom, Arthas, who was blinded by hatred and desire, was challenged by Melganis and led his troops to the Northrend continent alone to kill Melganis to take revenge. During the march, he happened to meet the dwarf Muladin Bronzebeard who was besieged by the army of undead. After helping the dwarves to temporarily rescue the dwarves, Arthas learned that the dwarves were looking for a legendary rune sword with infinite power - Frost Sadness. When he learned about this, the prince immediately believed that if he could get this sword, he could easily resolve the danger of fighting alone in the undead's belly, and killed Melganis to avenge the people who died in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
So, at the suggestion of Arthas, the two began to search for "Sadness of Frost".
However, under Uther's persuasion, King Terenas issued an order to return to Lordaeron to Arthas, and the soldiers of Arthas were also eager to go home. However, Arthas was already blinded by the anger of revenge and wanted to defeat Melganis, so he hired local mercenaries and secretly destroyed all the ships of the human troops. After destroying all the warships, Arthas immediately betrayed the mercenaries, he told
The angry soldiers said that it was these alien races who destroyed all our ships and ordered them to be executed. Then they told everyone that the ships have been destroyed now. Only by exercising all their might in order to destroy the natural disasters of the undead can they survive and wait for rescue in a stand-alone manner as if they were sitting and waiting for death, which aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers. At this time, the prince had been distorted by hatred. When Muladin saw the prince's actions, he couldn't bear to persuade him with kindness, but he was also ignored by the prince.
Finally, deep in the glacier, the prince and Muladin finally discovered the frozen "divine sword". In front of the sword, the mysterious and ancient ghostly guardian tried to prevent Alsace from getting the divine sword. Muladin also warned Prince Alsace that there was an evil curse on the sword and persuaded the prince not to pull it out.
But Arthas said that for the sake of the dead people, he was willing to bear any kind of curse. Then he resolutely pulled out the cursed "Divine Sword" - Frost's Sorrow.
Arthas fulfilled his wish and gained great power from "Sadness of Frost". However, Arthas, the prince of Lordaeron, became an eternal past from that moment on. Instead, he was the loyal slave of the Lich King, Arthas, the Death Knight. The moment he picked up the Sadness of Frost, the power of the magic sword began to corrupt Arthas' will. The Lich King Neozu kept teleporting his will to Arthas through the Sadness of the Magic Sword.
Later, the death knight Arthas returned to Lordaeron and killed his father with his own hands. Lordaeron's king - Terenas, and Arthas's holy light teacher, Uther, was also killed by Arthas on the way to escort the old king's ashes (with Uther's death, the Knights of Silver Hands collapsed).
The old king's ashes were captured by Arthas to resurrect Kel Thuzad. Under the guidance of the Lich King, Arthas broke into the Kenreto Magic Academy and killed the Chief Master of Kenreto, Antonidas, who was also the magic teacher of Arthas, and seized the Book of Guardians. Kel Thuzad summoned Archmond. Then, following the guidance of the Lich King, he liberated the frozen Lich King. At the bottom of the frozen throne, the Illidan he met and fought a duel with the strong enemy in his life. After defeating Illidan, Arthas ascended the frozen throne and liberated the frozen Lich King. He put on the crown of the Lich King and merged with the Lich King into one.
