Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 389: Death
Chapter 389 - Death
Duke will most likely die! ?
The alliance has been shocked one after another in the past few days.
Alonsus Faol's critical illness only brought surprise to the alliance's top leaders.
After all, the Church of the Holy Light has the greatest influence only in Lordaeron and Stormwind Kingdom. The Church of the Holy Light preaches in other countries, but non-believers are still the majority.
When the kings heard the news about Alonsus, they said, "I am sorry to hear this."
But Duke is different.
Except for the deceased King Aiden of Alterac, almost every king was a man who knew military affairs. They knew very well that compared to the upright and courageous Anduin Lothar, who acted more straightforwardly, Duke was the glue and command tower that integrated the alliance countries together.
Terenas' Lordaeron was the target of public criticism. Everyone knew that Terenas' motives were a little impure. No, it should be said that Terenas' intention to take this opportunity to become Emperor Thoradin II was obvious to everyone.
The reason why the troops were sent out too few is the fault of Lordaeron, the leader of the alliance.
Sending troops costs too much money, and there is the worry of whether it is a conspiracy of Lordaeron. At the very least, it is a condescending charity, and no kingdom will be comfortable with it.
With Duke, kings of various countries felt much more at ease.
The troops, manpower and material resources that should be supported are definitely sufficient and on time. And everyone can see that Duke's persistent killing strategy is the key to the alliance's transformation from weak to strong.
If Anduin is the spiritual leader of the Alliance, then Duke is the Alliance mastermind whose importance is second only to Anduin.
Now, just as the alliance was about to enter the counterattack phase, news suddenly came out that Duke was critically ill. The kings of various countries were really anxious.
To visit the Archbishop of Holy Light, the leaders of various countries calculated their time and went to express their condolences one by one.
What about Duke?
A state guesthouse almost turned into a throne room.
As a result, Duke had to be moved directly to the Royal Palace of Lordaeron. Otherwise, what would it look like with six or seven kings surrounding a small state guesthouse?
Even so, even King Daelin Proudmoore of Kul Tiras, who was in charge of the navy, came riding a griffin, which shows how important Duke was.
To everyone's surprise, they saw a different Duke, not a dying Duke. His short hair was slightly gray, as if dyed, with a small tuft of silver on his forehead.
There is nothing else besides this.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, but all the high-ranking priests and Antonidas, the most authoritative person in the study of curses, told all the kings that it was not that simple.
"Duke is now like a bucket with many holes in it. His vitality is draining away every moment. In ten days, you will see a 30-year-old Duke. In twenty days, he will be 40. In a month, he will not be 50, but dead."
"Is there no way to plug those holes?" King Llane was the most nervous. For the others, losing a Duke meant losing a leader of the Alliance. The main force of the Horde had been almost wiped out. The next battle could be won as long as they were not too stupid. The difference was how many lives were lost and how much time it took.
But for the Stormwind, what it lost may very well be the most important cornerstone of the kingdom and the pillar of the country for the next thirty years.
Antonidas shook his head with regret. "A single curse is like a thread wrapped around a ball. No matter how tangled it is, you can still take it down by winding it around the end of the thread. But Duke's situation is like a ball of thread made from a bunch of threads of the same color. I have no clue at all. This is a hole in the soul level created from multiple worlds with different methods, and there is nothing I can do about it. The most important thing is that this is a curse cast by a demigod wizard..."
What the Guardian of the World did was done, can a mere Grand Magus handle it?
Both Llane and Anduin had bitterness in their mouths.
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, it turned out to be the fault of their dead old friend Medivh.
This is the greatest irony in the world.
The temperature in the air gradually dropped. The atmosphere in the sky was also like this. Almost everyone felt like they couldn't breathe.
"Damned Gul'dan!" Anduin pounded the wall with gritted teeth.
At this time, it was Duke who spoke up: "In fact, the situation may not be as serious as you think."
"Not serious? Then what is serious?" King Llane's eyes were red and even his voice sounded like crying.
Llane did not cry even though he lost the land passed down from his ancestors.
Even when Stormwind, the symbol of the sovereignty of the entire kingdom, fell, Llane did not cry.
Now that Duke is critically ill, Llane started crying. It only took two seconds from his eyes turning red to him crying. freēnovelkiss.com
"You're going to die now, little brat! I was hoping you'd help Varian and restore Stormwind to its former glory! I was also hoping that if that didn't work, I'd let you be..." Anduin didn't say the last word 'king' as he patted Llane's shoulder to stop him.
"Listen to Duke first."
Duke let out a long sigh: "I guess the power of the mortal world is powerless to help me with this matter."
When Duke said this, the hearts of the kings sank.
"But fortunately, I still have one last hope - the Red Dragon Queen."
"Alexstrasza!?" Antonidas' slightly cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! Why didn't I think of her? Duke can be saved, oh, at least there is hope."
"What what?" The kings suddenly became excited.
Not every king is so knowledgeable. They may have received a good education since childhood, but most of it was about governing the country, martial arts, and the practice of chivalry.
Only a knowledgeable and veteran wizard like Antonidas could know this.
After Antonidas' explanation, the kings realized that Alexstrasza was so powerful.
During the War of the Ancients, in order to prevent Sargeras from entering this world through the portal of the Well of Eternity, the magic vortex created by the Highborne in the Well of Eternity finally exploded. The collapse of the Well of Eternity triggered a strong earthquake. This earthquake destroyed the skeleton of the world, and nearly 80% of the land of Azeroth was torn apart, leaving only a few fragmented continents surrounding the newly formed ocean.
Alexstrasza, the giver of life, the red dragon queen, threw a magical acorn into the center of the Well of Eternity. As soon as the acorn came into contact with the lake water filled with magical power, it began to take root and sprout, and grew into a giant oak tree.
The roots of the tree go deep into the bottom of the lake, and the huge crown almost covers the entire sky. This huge oak tree is an eternal symbol of the harmonious relationship between the night elves and nature. The life energy it emits can slowly spread and heal the wounds of the whole world. The night elves named their world tree "Nordrassil", which means "Crown of the Sky" in the night elf language.
