Chapter 258: The Fall of Divine Dalaran

The fusion of divinity was already very familiar to Richard. In the spiritual world, Richard began to defeat the imprint of consciousness on the divine power again and again.

In the spiritual world, the Faceless Man was killed again and again. Here, it was a battle of spiritual consciousness, and every time he killed an enemy, his spiritual imprint would weaken a little.

Until the enemy will never be resurrected again, then all the marks of consciousness can be forcibly erased. Most of the divine powers can be transformed into divine powers with the same divinity as their own after the marks of consciousness are erased, but there are some special divine powers that cannot be transformed.

Divine forces such as [space], [time], [death], [life], and [nature] cannot be transformed.

These divine powers can condense into corresponding divine domains. Just like possessing the divinity of death, one can master the divine power similar to the [Hand of Death] of the god of death, which can directly deprive someone of his life.

Richard got some death divinity from Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, and was able to use some death power. At the same time, it would also strengthen the spells related to the death field.

Just like the Law of Mantra spell, without divine power, you can only use this spell to bully those who are much weaker than you. This spell requires spell strength and your own resistance to fight against.

The spell is also much weaker than other spells of the same level, and divinity can greatly enhance this spell. At the same time, when Richard uses the Word of Law to die, he already has some of the killing effects of the God of Death [Hand of Death].

Death divinity is the best way to deal with those ancient evils and gods that are extremely difficult to kill completely. Why are many ancient evils and gods sealed instead of killed?
It's very simple. It's not that they don't want to kill, but they really can't kill them, or even if they kill them temporarily, they will be resurrected soon, so they can only seal them.

But with the power of death, it is possible to kill them completely.

The power of death symbolizes the end of all things. Of course, in addition to the power of death, the power of time also has this function, but compared to the power of death, the divinity of time is more difficult to obtain.

Richard once again shattered the Faceless Man's consciousness. The Faceless Man's consciousness, which was already shaky, was completely shattered after this attack and could never be revived again. Then Richard used his mental power to wipe it all out.

Then integrate the divine power into your body.

After feeling that there was no problem with the divine power, Richard opened his eyes, and the original golden divine light reintegrated into his body.

Then Richard waved his hand gently to cancel the mansion spell. The next second, he was back in the forest. Looking at the time, it only took him a few hours to merge with the divinity this time.

As his divinity grew stronger, the speed of integrating his divinity also increased a lot.

Richard took out the map and looked at it. He had already visited all the ruins near Mount Hyrule, and there were still some ruins left to go to other continents. In the north, on the continent of Northrend, there was a fortress left by the Titans, in which an ancient god was imprisoned, but Richard didn't know the exact location.

There is an Anqila Zerg Temple in the south of Kalimdor. The Titans did not leave anything in this ruins, but the cage of the Old Gods. In addition to these two ruins, there is also an Uldum. Uldum is also guarded by some cat people, so we should communicate with them.

But just as Richard was about to go to Uldum, the communication stone he left in the High Elf Kingdom suddenly rang.

"What happened?" Richard asked as he turned on the communication stone.

"Sir, Dalaran has been breached." Sylvanas' voice came.

"Have Kael'thas and the reinforcements he brought returned?" Richard was not surprised that Dalaran was breached. At this point, there were no reinforcements at all. How could they possibly hold on?
"We have a teleportation stone, and everyone has been evacuated." Sylvanas said, "But there are still some casualties, and His Majesty is a little depressed."

"What is the current situation in Dalaran? How did Arthas break through Dalaran?"

"Antonidas, the Archmage of Dalaran, was killed, followed by many other mages. Arthas entered Dalaran through the sewers, and then joined forces with the undead army outside. The defenders of Dalaran were caught off guard and the city was breached."

"After conquering Dalaran, Arthas and Kel'Thuzad used the Book of Medivh together to summon Archimonde the Defiler."

"After being summoned, Archimonde directly destroyed Dalaran and killed Archmage Antonidas." Sylvanas said.

Dalaran was destroyed again. This place is really unlucky. This is the second time it has been destroyed. It will be bombed again in the future. After Archimonde came to Azeroth, he began to build a portal to summon more demons to come, preparing to flatten all the kingdoms in the eastern continent.

After seeing this situation, Sylvanas asked Richard for help.

After hearing that Archimonde was coming, Richard knew that the Eastern Kingdoms had reached a critical moment of life and death. In the current world of Azeroth, no matter whether it is the guardian dragon or other archmages or heroes, no one can be the opponent of Archimonde.

As long as Archimonde doesn't get carried away and takes steady steps, the entire Azeroth could very likely be flattened by him. It's a pity that Archimonde is too careless.

Richard summoned a teleporting aura, and the next second, his figure appeared on the Mage Tower in Silvermoon City.

"Godfather." Seeing Richard's figure, the somewhat dejected Kael'thas quickly stood up.

"It seems that he hasn't lost his fighting spirit yet!" Seeing Kael'thas, Richard nodded slightly.

Kael'thas' biggest problem is his immaturity, his immaturity in politics, his immaturity in his self-awareness, and his immaturity in his understanding of his own strength.

"Godfather, I disappoint you!" Kael'thas said with his head down.

Richard shook his head slightly and said, "You didn't disappoint me."

"As a king, you need to be responsible for your people first. The High Elf Kingdom needs to recuperate, and you need to improve your strength as quickly as possible."

"As a king, you must be able to protect your people. Either you are strong, your country is strong, or your allies are strong."

"This world is always ruled by the weak and interests come first. Being weak is the original sin."

Before the Dark Portal was opened, although there were frictions among the countries in Azeroth, it was not a big problem. However, now it has completely become a naked jungle of the weak. The Undead Scourge and the Burning Legion will not give you a chance, but will only raise their butcher knives and kill the weak.

"The high elves need to recuperate now, but they can try to form an alliance with the remaining countries on the eastern continent. At least now they have a common enemy, the Burning Legion and the Undead Army." Richard continued.

Lordaeron, the capital of the once powerful human kingdom, has now become the camp of the Burning Legion. In addition to a large number of undead, there are also a large number of demons. The people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron are hiding in remote places in the mountains.

At the same time, members of the Knights of the Silver Hand were gathering refugees, building a temporary camp at Light's Hope Cathedral, and forming the Knights of the Crusade under the leadership of Dathrohan, one of the five knights of the Silver Hand.

On the other side, another great marshal of Lordaeron, Garithos, also used his own fame and his father's reputation to begin to recruit the remaining human army.

The Scourge and the Burning Legion began to spread throughout the Eastern Kingdoms, and more and more cities were breached by the Undead and the Burning Legion. Most of the humans in Andorhal and Stratholme had turned into Undead, but some still hid in the mountains and forests to escape.

After a period of search and rescue, the high elves' population finally reached a little over 40,000. At the same time, after rushed repairs, the rune barrier of Eversong Forest has also been restored.

"Sir, we have found many human refugees near Eversong Woods. How should we deal with these refugees?" Sylvanas asked.

"Let them live in an unpolluted piece of land in Eversong Forest temporarily. Also, send some high elves to maintain order." Richard said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, and have the navy catch more fish during this time. With all those refugees coming, there won't be enough food!"

"Yes, your Excellency!" Sylvanas ordered people to deal with these matters.

Most of these human refugees were survivors of Andorhal and Stratholme. Because of Richard's order, these human refugees were placed in Eversong Woods.

The high elves gathered the nearby human refugees here for management, and then sent some high elves to command them to resume production and build houses. At the same time, there were also many soldiers among these refugees.

Sylvanas put Lor'themar in charge of these humans, and also in charge of clearing out the undead in the Eastern Plaguelands and monitoring the Burning Legion in Lordaeron.

The high elves have now all practiced the Knight's Breathing Method, and relying on their own qualifications, the elves have made rapid progress. Because they have strong vitality in their bodies, they can usually condense the seeds of life in just half a month.

During this period, Sylvanas, who had made the fastest progress, had been promoted from a regular knight to an earth knight, and her strength had increased by at least half. When she became a legendary knight, Li Jue felt that she was at least a high-level legendary, and it would not be a problem for her to single-handedly defeat Arthas.

In addition to the Knight's Breathing Technique, the high elves also have a very high success rate in practicing meditation. At the beginning, there were only three or four hundred mages left in the high elves, but now the number has directly increased to tens of thousands. Of course, 95% of these mages are low-level mages.

But as long as these high elves are given time, they will definitely be promoted to high-level wizards. Militarization has completely changed the temperament of the high elves, and now the high elves have been reborn.

The knight breathing and meditation methods that Richard taught the high elves were completely different from the training methods of this world. It was to burn life force to condense life seeds, and then feed back after the life seeds were condensed.

In order to improve the strength of the high elves as quickly as possible, Richard prepared a more violent version for them. This version consumes more vitality, but the strength is also improved quickly. However, if the vitality is insufficient, the consequence is that the vitality is exhausted before the life seed is condensed.

Only high elves with a lifespan of 5,000 years can use it. Ordinary humans would be courting death if they learn it. The same is true for meditation.

These are things passed down from the Witch King. For the high elves who are in urgent need of improving their strength, these two methods of cultivation are very suitable.

The high elves now can be said to be a nation of soldiers.

Because the number of human refugees soon exceeded 5,000, and there were a large number of orphans among them, Richard prepared shelter for these orphans, provided food, and arranged for people to give these children simple training. As for the other refugees, they needed to work in exchange for food.

But even so, these refugees are grateful.

The news that the elves had established a refugee camp here spread quickly, attracting more refugees, which also caused food shortages in the refugee camp.

After all, the high elves suffered heavy losses after being attacked by the undead army, and they were also short of food, so they often had to use magic bread. In order to obtain food, human refugee camps began to spontaneously form search teams to search for food everywhere.

In the Eastern Plaguelands, the Paladin Dathrohan also took in many refugees. When he heard that the high elves had taken in thousands of refugees, he personally led a dozen paladins to recruit soldiers from these refugees, form a Crusader Order, and even recapture Stratholme and Lordaeron.

"Quickly line up, everyone! Stand in order! Don't stand too close together. How can you swing your arms to attack if you're so close together? Do you want people to shoot you two into hedgehogs?"

"Why are you two standing so far apart? Do you want the undead to divide and surround you? All right, that's it, leave half a body space in front and behind! The one in the back row should stand between the two people in the front row!"

Old Peter selected five hundred people from the refugees, half of whom were veterans and half were new recruits. In order to make them fight as quickly as possible, he used the method of the old leading the new.

The weapons these people used were standard weapons provided by the elves, but even these standard weapons were better than the equipment of the regular army of Lordaeron.

Lor'themar sent two teams of elves to maintain order, and then selected some people from the refugees to manage them. Some were responsible for farming, some were responsible for cutting wood, some were responsible for building houses, and the old one was the garrison officer among the refugees.

As a veteran who participated in the Second Orc War, although Old Peter was only a low-ranking officer, he was very experienced in training soldiers.

These soldiers were sent to the Plaguelands to search for survivors and food, and they also planned to use the undead to train their troops. In order to ensure their safety, Lor'themar also sent a team of high elves to assist.

With the help of the high elves' bows and arrows, the newly formed human army quickly wiped out a group of wandering undead without any harm. After destroying a group of undead, the morale of the human army was greatly boosted, and in this environment, they began to make rapid progress.

At the same time, they also began to search for supplies and food in the plague areas.
