The weight of this sentence was definitely as heavy as a mountain.
It could be said to be the most important thing in her words.
Duque was pleasantly surprised by the Red Dragon Queen's decision, but he was not surprised.
This was the inevitable choice of history!
It was a time of war, and war was bound to be accompanied by sacrifices. Dragons were indeed at the top of the food chain on Planet Azeroth. However, their tragic fertility and long growth time meant that the dragon army would only get weaker and weaker in such a fierce war.
As long as demons did not die in the Twisted Nether, their souls could theoretically run back and be resurrected indefinitely.
Under such circumstances, finding ways to replenish their troops became the biggest issue that the Dragon Sleep Temple could not avoid.
After killing Nesario, the four-colored dragons had vented their hatred. However, under the situation of the Burning Legion's continuous attacks, the weakening of the protective circle due to the absence of the Earth Guardian, and the increase in casualties was also there.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been the decision to recruit Onyxia into the Dragon's Slumber Shrine, and the fact that a fallen soul was allowed to return after redeeming itself. If it was the Dragon Sleep Temple of the past, they would not have even thought about it.
Rules were dead, and dragons were alive.
Alexstrasza wasn't stupid enough to challenge the rules with her limited lifespan. Just like the Alliance later in history, death knights, demon hunters, and so on openly joined the Alliance camp.
Now that the Red Dragon Queen had given an opening, if Duque still did not know how to behave, then he would have lived in vain.
Since the queen had given Duque a free hand, who would take advantage of it? Of course, it would be Duque!
Yo! Old dragon, you have a redemption scroll that is about to expire. May I ask if you want to use it? If you want to use it, please sign this indenture.
Everyone could see that Duque was up to no good. However, no one could be jealous.
Firstly, those who could sneak into the Alliance's hero squad were either kings or true heroes.
Secondly, Duque's experience, status, and methods were not something they could imitate.
Want to take a dragon as a follower?
Sure!
You could save the Red Dragon Queen first, or kill the Black Dragon King's entire family. Kill the males and take the females as mounts.
If it was just a little bit off, perhaps some people would be envious and jealous. But if the difference was too great, then they could only worship him.
At this time, Duque slowly walked towards the ashes left behind by Kel 'Thuzad's death. He reached in and fished out one of the biggest spoils of war. Yes, it was the contract scroll left behind by Ner' zhul. The scroll had the inheritance of the Lich King's frost divinity.
"Oh, it's Alexstrasza! Can you do me a favor? "Duque waved the scroll.
On the huge Red Dragon's face, everyone could see the Queen's eyes roll.
F * ck, other than Duque, there was no one else who could take advantage of the Red Dragon Queen.
However, since Duque had helped her redeem the soul of an important Blue Dragon, and Angela still needed to rely on Duque's intelligence for the rest of her plan, the Queen decided to help him.
A portal with a diameter of at least ten meters appeared in the void. The next moment, a red dragon claw that could easily grab a steam tank reached out. The black dragon claw with a perfect arc reached forward and tapped lightly.
A drop of exuberant green life aura entered the scroll just like that.
"Done."
Then, the dragon claw retracted and disappeared without a trace.
Others might think that Lich King Ner 'zhul's power was pure shadow element death energy, but that was not the case. He, who had long wanted to rebel, had intentionally or unintentionally used the frost element that was completely different from the Burning Legion's Warlocks as his main power.
But when it came to purifying this kind of old demon, it was better for Duque to borrow the hands of others. After all, holy power, moral integrity, and so on, Duque did not even have enough for himself.
After purifying the shadow element, all that was left was the pure frost divinity.
After casually saying a few words, the Queen turned off the projection.
Duque did not start absorbing the frost divinity on the spot, because that would be asking for death. Since ancient times, there had been all kinds of Mages who crossed paths. There was the arcane ice element and the frost element, then the arcane fire element, the pure arcane element, and so on. But there were no idiots who played with fire and ice.
It was not that it was absolutely impossible, but the problem was very big.
The essence of ice and fire was in conflict. Whether it was the element itself or the various Metamagic Abilities, they were all opposites that fought to the death.
Secondly, without the arcane circuit as a foundation, the endurance would be very poor.
One could be a three-element Great Mage of fire, arcane, and frost. Note that there was a prerequisite, and that was to have a sufficiently powerful arcane magic circuit as a buffer.
Therefore, before mastering the arcane divinity, Duque did not dare to directly absorb the frost divinity. One had to know that the flame divinity in his body was produced by Ragnaros and was extremely violent. If he rashly absorbed the frost divinity of the Lich King, he might explode on the spot.
In addition, why was it said to be one of the biggest spoils of war? Because there was another highlight!
Duke took out the [Atiesh, Legendary Guardian's Staff] from his storage space. Although it was already emitting a strong magical wave, it was still not systematic and always stirred up turbulence of magical power. Duke's heart was beyond excited.
That's right! He had already sensed that the body of the staff was made of 40 fragments, plus the head of the staff itself. The last remaining part of this artifact staff, the staff's tail, was just ten meters in front of him.
There, at a glance, was an empty wall. Only the connection between the artifact parts told Duque that it was where Kel 'Thuzad's treasure was located.
"Open!" Duque waved the drumstick-shaped staff, and three translucent black crows appeared from the top of the staff. They flapped their wings through the phantom fog and circled above the treasure chest.
A second later, the illusion collapsed, and every expert from the Alliance couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The huge treasure chest with silver skull carvings made a "clatter" sound and opened by itself.
An inconspicuous wooden thing flew out, drew a gorgeous blue-purple arc in the air, and finally deftly embedded itself at the end of the staff in Duque's hand.
In the next instant, the artifact staff that Duque held high bloomed with a brilliant glow.
Powerful arcane magic fluctuations surged out like raging waves. Even though it did not cause any damage to people, they still felt as if they were standing on a beach, being tossed up and down by a huge wave several meters high. They could not stand steadily at all.
"Wow!" Gavin Rad's mouth opened wide enough to fit an apple. "Boss, why do I feel like your artifact is much more powerful than mine!"
Unexpected things happened one after another.
As if it was provoked, Magni's [Savras, Hand of Ragnaros the Balrog] ignored its owner's will and burst out a blazing light, forming a fire pillar that would take three people to wrap their arms around it and burst into the sky.
