Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 265: Mark of Death
The Lich King granted him eternal life, but this eternal life was not what he expected.

Frostmourne pierced his heart and transformed him into a lich. The materials used to build his body all came from Dar'khan's own collection in Deatholme.

The Lich King obtained the address of the secret key from Dal'kan's memory, and then sent three of his loyal liches to seize it.

The liches who came from Northrend were unaware of the existence of the mines. They naturally set foot on the road to death and were blown to pieces by the mines. Although they were resurrected later, their stupidity disappointed the Lich King.

As a result, Dalkan was quickly promoted.

Dar'Khan, who was controlled by the Lich King, didn't know this, and he still thought that the Lich King valued him. He proudly turned all the elves in Deatholm into undead, wizards into liches, witches into banshees, powerful elves into death knights, and ordinary elves into ghouls.

As a native of Eversong Forest, Dal'Khan knows all of its secrets.

All three secret keys were destroyed, and Darkan immediately commanded the undead army to head straight for Silvermoon City. Wherever the undead passed, the ground would be corroded, and where the 100,000-strong army passed, a huge gully was corroded directly on the ground.

Dal'Khan called this Death Ravine the Great Death Scar, a great testimony to the Lich King's conquest of Quel'Thalas.

The undead army came near Tak'K'lin, and the gargoyle found that Tak'K'lin was empty. Dar'Khan immediately judged that "Sylvanas has retreated to Silvermoon City, and Silvermoon City has already known the news of our attack, so there is no need for us to hide our whereabouts. We can attack directly, break through Silvermoon City with a powerful force, and then go straight to the Isle of Quel'Danas."

The Lich King was concerned about the losses, but Dal'Khan dispelled his concerns.

"It will take Silvermoon a few days to set up a complete line. Plus, they have no means to deal with Naxxramas, so our attack will definitely win. Unless they detonate the Sunwell themselves, it will be yours."

Compared to the conservative nobles of Silvermoon City, Dalkan was very capable. He commanded tens of thousands of troops in an orderly manner, and arrived at the foot of Silvermoon City three days later.

Facing the tall Silvermoon City, he did not choose to attack violently. After all, this city had blocked the attacks of the trolls for thousands of years, and countless trolls had died under the Silvermoon City.

Because of this, it provided Dalkan with another opportunity to break through Silvermoon City.

He built a large number of psychic towers outside Silvermoon City, and then used them to cast psychic spells. Countless troll corpses crawled out from the ground and launched a fierce attack on Silvermoon City.

Sylvanas stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the countless undead, with a very ugly face. Fortunately, King Anasterian allowed her to mobilize the mages in the city.

"Release the fire spell to burn all these undead souls to ashes. Don't let the enemy revive them again."

After returning to Silvermoon City, Sylvanas felt that everything was going wrong for her.

The conservative mages simply did not believe that the undead army dared to attack Silvermoon City. Even if Anasterian issued a mobilization order, they remained unmoved.

Time was already tight and the city was unable to fully prepare for war, resulting in Silvermoon City's defense capabilities not being raised to their maximum.

To make matters worse, Jack's Black Pearl was not allowed to enter Silvermoon City, forcing Jack to temporarily leave and go to Sunsail Harbor to help the refugees there.

The only consolation was that in the past few thousand years, when dealing with trolls, the mages used a lot of fire spells to burn most of the trolls' bodies to ashes. Otherwise, the number of troll ghouls attacking at this time would be at least five to ten times higher.

The mages began to cast spells, and countless flame storms bloomed in the undead army, burning almost all of the area outside Silvermoon City. The troll corpses that had just climbed up were quickly burned to ashes.

However, the troll ghouls seemed endless, and no matter how hard the mages on the wall burned them, they could not be burned. They rushed into the flames one after another, as if they were not afraid of death.

Well... they are indeed not afraid of death, because they are dead anyway.

However, the mages did not notice that after the troll ghouls were burned to death, some soul energy would float into the air. These soul energies gathered at one point and then suddenly burst out.

"boom--"

A psychic spell bombarded the city wall, causing a strong shock wave that directly blew away all the people on the wall.

Sylvanas fell off the city wall, climbed up with difficulty, and looked in horror in the direction where the necromancy spell came from.

In the sky, Naxxramas gradually appeared. It turned out that it had already come to the sky above the battlefield in stealth and launched a direct sneak attack.

On the city wall, most of the elves had lost their lives, and the remaining few elves had also lost their ability to fight.

Brutallus rushed into the sea of ​​fire, gathering fel energy as he charged. Then he swung his swords at the city wall, and the fel energy shockwave pierced through the city wall.

Sylvanas was shocked. How could the sturdy Silvermoon City be breached so easily?
Brutalus slammed into the broken wall and rushed directly into the city. He roared and continued to charge forward. His violent body seemed to have infinite power, and he directly pushed down all the buildings in front of him.

Behind him, the undead army swarmed in. They didn't care whether the elves in the city resisted or not, they just followed Bruttalus and charged forward.

Sylvanas looked at the enemy's abnormal behavior and instantly understood their goal.

"Go protect the Sunwell!"

When the soldiers heard this, they didn't care about anything else. They reported to the palace and went to stop the enemy.

Sylvanas collapsed to the ground, and she lost her ability to fight. Before she fainted, she saw a bright sun rising in the north, which gave her hope.

With the energy of the Sunwell, it should be possible to stop the enemy's attack, right?

On the island of Quel'Danas, Anasterian led a group of archmages to strengthen the barrier to prevent the undead from rushing in.

However, the Lich King drove Naxxramas directly into it, breaking the Sunwell's barrier.

The Island of Quel'Danas was completely exposed to the Undead Army, and under the leadership of Bruttalus, the Undead Army rushed onto the island.

The trace of death spread, bringing annihilation of life to everyone on the island.

Anasterian fought to the last moment, but unfortunately the Felo'melorn in his hand was cut off by Frostmourne, and he was killed by the Lich King. The Lich King placed Kel'Thuzad's urn in the Sunwell and then started the ritual to resurrect Kel'Thuzad.
