It is a vast demonic army that has consumed countless worlds beyond our own.
Now, it comes to set this world to the flame.
Our master was created to pave the way for its arrival.
The dreadlords were sent to make sure that he succeeded.
So the plague in Lordaeron, the citadels in Northrend, the slaughtering of the
elves… it was all just to prepare for some huge demonic invasion?
Yes. In time, you will find that our entire history has been shaped by the coming conflict.
Now come, we have much work to do.
Isn’t it time you told me about the second phase of the plan, lich?
Certainly. The first phase of the Lich King’s plan was to engineer the Scourge, which would eradicate any group that might resist the Legion’s arrival.
Like the forces of Lordaeron… and the high elves.
Exactly. The second phase is to actually summon the demon lord who will spark the invasion.
So where are we going now?
There is a nearby encampment of Blackrock orcs who maintain a functional demon gate.
I must use the gate to commune with the demon lord and receive his instructions.
Behold, the Frost wyrm!
These undead dragons are the Lich King’s favored pets.
This one shall serve us well.
The Legion has sent the dead to test us!
Victory to the Blackrock clan!
Your people failed their task, savage.
You, too, must be scourged from the world.
He dropped a large tome. Is it magical?
It is a tomb of demon lore.
No doubt his comrades carry it as well.
I’ve encountered these demon-worshipping orcs before.
How do they fit into all this?
That, young one, is a very complicated matter.
Suffice it to say they no longer hold any favor with the Legion.
I call upon thee, Archimonde!
Your humble servant seeks an audience!
You called my name, puny lich, and I have come.
You are Kel’Thuzad, are you not?
Yes, great one.
I am the summoner.
Very well, then.
There is a special tome you must find…
the only remaining spellbook of Medivh, the Last Guardian.
Only his lost incantations are powerful enough to bring me into your world.
Where should we search for it, great one?
Seek out the mortal city of Dalaran.
It is there that the tome is kept.
At twilight, three days from now, you will begin to summoning.
Wizards of the Kirin Tor! I am Arthas, first of the Lich King’s death nights!
I demand that you open your gates and surrender to the might of the Scourge!
Greetings, Prince Arthas.
How fares your noble father? 해석
Lord Antonidas, there’s no need to be snide.
We’ve prepared for your coming, Arthas.
My brethren and I have erected auras that will destroy any Undead that pass through them.
Your petty magics will not stop me, Antonidas.
Pull your troops back, or we will be forced to unleash our full powers against you!
Make your choice, death night.
I sense that three separate wizards are maintaining these auras.
If you find and kill them, the auras will disperse.
I like it.
You’d best stay clear of me, or I’ll turn you into a mindless sheep.
To arms!
It pains me to even look at you, Arthas.
I’ll be happy to end your torment, old man.
I told you that your magics could not stop me.
The spellbook is all yours, lich.
Let’s take it and leave before the wizards amass for their final attack.
Indeed, I will begin summoning Lord Archimond at sunset.
The circle of power has been prepared per your instructions, lich.
Are you ready to begin the summoning?
Nearly. I’ve been reading through Medivh’s spellbook.
His knowledge of demons alone is staggering.
I suspect that he was far more powerful than anyone ever realized.
But powerful enough to escape death, that is for certain.
Suffice to say, the work he began, we will finish… today. Let the summoning commence!
Come forth, Lord Archimonde!
Enter this world and let us bask in your power!
Tremble, mortals, and despair!
Doom has come to this world!
You have done well, little lich. My plan worked perfectly.
Lord Archimonde, all the preparations have been made.
Very well, Tichondrius.
Since the Lich kings of no further use to me,
you dreadlords will now command the Scourge.
As you wish, Lord Archimode.
Soon, I will order the invasion to begin.
But first, I will make an example of these paltry
wizards… by crushing their city into the ashes of history.
This has got to be a joke!
What happens to us now?
Be patient young death night.
The Lich King foresaw this as well.
You may yet have a part to play in his grand design.
