“Prosperity? Abundance?
You seem to have some misunderstanding about my father's rule.
If he was really as good as you said, I wouldn't have been able to destroy a lifetime of hard work so easily in just a few days.
Looking at the current state of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, you should understand how fragile and ridiculous it is behind its false strength.
Just a little plague and undead caused this so-called most powerful kingdom in mankind to completely collapse.
Especially you, Uther, the Lightbringer, are still so bright, majestic and righteous, and have never allowed your reputation and glory to be stained by even the slightest stain."
Arthas used a mocking tone and voice to provoke his former mentor's most sensitive nerves.
There is no doubt that he has not forgotten what happened outside Stratholme City when this powerful paladin led the Knights of the Silver Hand and refused to carry out the order and left him.
Especially the despair of being betrayed by the person you trust the most, it is still like a scar that will never heal, and it will ache in my heart from time to time.
Although Arthas had stripped away the good part of his soul the moment he picked up Frostmourne and became a death knight, this once extremely strong emotion did not disappear, but instead turned into a kind of hatred and resentment.
He hated this powerful paladin who could unshakably stick to his moral bottom line no matter what he did, and even more disgusted with the way he looked down at him from above.
Uther undoubtedly noticed the prince's unusual reaction. He tightly grasped the warhammer emitting dazzling golden light in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "So you are here today specifically to take revenge on me and the Knights of the Silver Hand? I think so?
Do you want to wipe out this noble organization that can bring out your dirty evil soul, and then become a lackey of the undead natural disaster with good intentions?"
"Ha ha ha ha!
You think too highly of yourself and the Knights of the Silver Hand.
You idiots are worthless in my eyes.
I entered Andorhal for one thing only, and that was the urn you kept.
Give it to me, and I can consider letting you die quickly."
Alsace, who was riding a horse, raised Frostmourne and pointed at his former mentor not far away, a biting chill emanating from his body.
An icy aura quickly enveloped his body, forming a layer of elemental protection like a mage's frost armor.
Unlike the death knights of Faerûn, the death knights of Azeroth can not only use the power of death itself, but also control shadow and frost energy.
Especially after the body is completely dead, their actions no longer require muscles and blood to provide explosive power, so they can inject ice energy to freeze the water in the body, thereby forming extremely strong physical and magical defense capabilities.
This also means that even if someone is lucky enough to break the strong full-body plate armor made of Saronite, they will not be able to cut off Alsace's head or limbs as easily as he could kill an ordinary person.
What's more, the artifact in his hand, Frostmourne, is not just a sword, it can also bring coldness, curses, diseases, and the ability to directly damage the soul when attacking.
In addition, there are also a series of magic skills such as Death Coil, Howling Blast, Ice Storm, and the ability to resurrect the surrounding corpses into puppets under your control on a large scale, and then eat and restore your own vitality through the Death Contract.
Especially the first death knight appointed by the Lich King Ner'zhul, he did not fall behind even against the demon lords of the Burning Legion.
However, Uther was obviously completely irritated by Alsace's language about asking for an urn, and shouted sternly: "You bastard!
That jar contains the ashes of your father, King Terenas!
It was a total of three hundred brave and fearless Lordaeron royal guards who rushed into the throne room full of undead, risking their lives and finally snatching back the corpses.
For this they sacrificed their precious lives, and in the end only three people managed to escape alive.
Isn't it enough that you destroyed your father's kingdom, and finally want to desecrate his remains?"
These words instantly made the expression on Alsace's face become extremely cold, and he responded very simply: "I don't know, and I don't care what is inside. But that's what I want, so I just
Must get it.”
"very good!
That's great!
What you did simply refreshed my understanding of shamelessness!
Since you have fallen to this level, let me end you with my own hands.
Take your life! Alsace!
I will be here today to seek justice for your parents and the innocent people who died tragically at your hands!"
Following Uther's unbearable roar, dazzling golden holy light instantly fell from the sky, sweeping away all undead creatures within a few dozen meters.
Under the burning power of this force, hundreds of ghouls and zombies fell to the ground, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
You don't need to ask to know that the death energy in their bodies that supports the actions of undead creatures has been completely expelled by the Holy Light, which is what priests and paladins often refer to as "purification."
Obviously, this is also the secret why Andorhal can rely on its dilapidated city walls to repel the siege of the undead army time and time again.
Rather than saying that the Knights of the Silver Hand and those soldiers successfully held the line of defense, it is better to say that Uther, the Lightbringer, used his own powerful power to kill all the thousands of undead that came up.
After a strong burst of holy light, this possibly the most powerful first-generation paladin was like a ferocious lion, swinging the extremely heavy war hammer with both hands and smashing it directly into the head of his former apprentice.
Because today's Arthas is not the image of wearing the Crown of Dominance after becoming the Lich King, his entire head is completely exposed without any protection, and his long gray-white hair will even float in the breeze.

department.
But it was a pity that Arthas had long been prepared for the fight, and he blocked the handle of the heavy war hammer with a clang of Frostmourne.
Under the impact of the huge force, the undead war horse Wudi couldn't help but take two steps back before barely holding on and not falling.
The pair of masters and apprentices, who were full of bad luck, were face to face, trying their best to exert more force while staring fiercely into each other's eyes.
The next second...
Almost at the same time, the two released their grip on the weapon, aimed at each other, and released magical energy.
moment!
Holy light and shadow collided in the air and caused violent impact and explosion.
boom!!!!!!!!!
The strong air current separated them immediately.
Uther used his heavy war hammer to carve a ravine on the ground that was twenty to thirty centimeters deep.
Alsace fell from Invincible's back, rolled and hit the wall of a house, looking very embarrassed.
It is not difficult to see from this scene that the light and dark energy that created the universe where Azeroth is located are not at all as gentle as the positive and negative energy in the universe where Faerûn is located.
The latter is more of a silent neutralization when contact occurs, rather than triggering a violent rejection reaction and energy release.
But the holy light spell released by Uther and the death coil thrown by Arthas just caused a horrific explosion.
On the one hand, it is because the Holy Light and Shadow energies they possess are too powerful, and on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of the complete rejection of each other between these two energies.
Moreover, Uther clearly had the upper hand. Whether it was spell power or combat experience, he was firmly ahead of Alsace.
This is obviously unacceptable to the latter, who has been invincible since picking up Frostmourne.
After a short pause, the stubborn and paranoid part of Alsace's character was instantly aroused, and he directly took the sword and launched an attack. His violent posture was not so much a cold death knight, but more like a bloodthirsty knight.
status warrior.
In fact, this is his usual attitude when fighting with all his strength.
After all, before determined to become a paladin, the prince had always learned fighting and weapon usage skills from the dwarf hero Muradin Bronzebeard.
So don't confuse him with the traditional paladins of the Order of the Silver Hand.
This guy is essentially a violent warrior who can use the power of the Holy Light.
That kind of stubborn and impatient character is actually gradually developed when learning to control and release the power of anger.
In contrast, Uther changed his profession from a priest to a paladin, so his fighting style is exactly the opposite.
The two people fighting fiercely at this moment seemed to be each other's reflections in the mirror.
Although Alsace's body was extremely cold, irrational rage and impulse bloomed deep in his soul;
Although Uther exudes the heat of life and the warmth of the holy light, his soul gives people a sense of rationality and calmness.
What's more important is that every collision, as long as the energy of shadow and holy light is involved, will inevitably lead to a violent explosion.
Many death knights and other undead creatures who came from all directions to help were torn to pieces by the aftermath before they could get close.
Even the surrounding buildings quickly turned into ruins.
The two men proved with practical actions that in this world, a strong man is worth far more than thousands of ordinary soldiers.
