Any strong person's confidence and pride were two sides of the same coin.
He felt that he had become a lot stronger, but it was difficult to quantify how much stronger he was.
Even if it could be quantified, the opponent's experience, skill usage and rhythm, elemental control, and the surrounding environment would all affect the final outcome of the battle.
Since Arthas called himself the Lich King, he at least had the spirit of a king.
The unyielding king!
No true king would readily admit that their skills were inferior to others.
It was just like how he did not hesitate to send Sindagosa even though he knew that Lordaeron was a trap.
After all, the Scourge Army could easily grow in numbers. Apart from alchemists and management talents who could develop new monsters, everything else was expendable.
Even though he had lost to Duque twice, Arthas was still fearless. He was already the Lich King, the enemy of all living beings in the world. If he still had any reservations, he wouldn't need to maintain the Scourge Army.
Just as Arthis was about to make her move, Duke and his entourage, who were theoretically supposed to have entered Arkafon's treasury … were currently in an ice house right next to the entrance of the treasury.
The ice house was modeled after the Eskimos, and was hemispherical in shape.
However, it looked even cooler when built. Duque used Magician's Hand to pull up a large pile of ice from the ground, and used magic to cut them into square ice blocks of 40 centimeters in length, width, and height. He then piled them up.
A random Icicle spell would blow up a large amount of snow, and anyone who saw it would see a pile of snow. This thing was very common in the world of ice and snow in Noscent.
After entering the small door that was about half the height of a person, they entered a small world that was about ten square meters. A magic formation that was lightly infused with frost elements isolated the air inside and outside.
There was a small table beside a small heater.
At this moment, they were … playing Landlord.
"King Bomb!" Jaina smiled like a flower.
"No way! No wonder we can't even see the cards!" Duque exclaimed.
"I'm not playing anymore. Let's switch to Oni or Celia." Queen Sylvia threw down her cards, seemingly distracted.
Onyxia clearly had the question 'When are you entering the treasury?' written all over her face, but her mouth said, "I'm just a mount."
Vashj also said: "As a maid, being able to serve Master and Mistress is already a great blessing."
Duque laughed heartily. "Don't be so nervous! Regardless of whether he succeeded in luring the enemy or not, this would not be the place for the final battle. Only the summit of Ice Crown Fortress would decide the outcome of the battle. This is the choice of fate. "
Queen Sylvanas sighed when she saw Onyxia's eyes lit up. How could this once treacherous black dragon be so easily fooled?
Jaina, on the other hand, was at ease. She even pestered Duque to ask if he had any fun games. She shook Duque's shoulder so intimately that Duque almost lost his mind and took out the mahjong.
However, after thinking about it, Duque decided to give up.
Mahjong was poisonous. Once he took it out, wouldn't it be suicidal if a group of queens ignored him and focused on playing mahjong?
Duque said seriously, "I still want to observe the situation at the Gate of Heaven's Wrath."
The small magic mirror erected in the air was indeed showing the real-time situation of the Gate of Heaven's Wrath. Unfortunately, this so-called surveillance was boring.
The huge black gate, which was nearly 50 meters tall, stood quietly at the foot of the mountain, letting the wind and snow blow on it day and night.
Rather than saying it was a gate, it was more like a simple decoration.
The black iron skull on the gate did not look that fierce under the cover of the snow. It just gave people the feeling that … it was just so-so.
"So boring." Queen Sylvanas complained.
"Why don't I make you pregnant like how I made your sister pregnant …" Queen Sylvie rolled her eyes at Duke before he could finish his sentence.
"I am me, my sisters are my sisters. Before I took care of Arthas, I was the queen of Sin 'dorei. "Queen Sylvanas' meaning was clear. She would not think about having children until she got her revenge.
Duque shrugged. He was just saying it out of boredom. A bunch of little kids running around in the Mage Tower, squealing. The holy land of arcana had become a kindergarten. That kind of scene … Sorry, he did not dare to imagine it.
At this moment, the huge gate of the Gate of Heaven's Wrath suddenly trembled.
"Roar, roar, roar …" From small to large, the huge tremors caused the scenery that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years to change. The ice on the door cracked and fell, exploding all over the ground.
When the pitch-black gate opened, it was like an ancient beast opening its mouth.
The wind and snow near the gate suddenly became stronger, and the image that was observed with the Magician's Eye and binoculars suddenly became blurry.
In that kind of snowstorm where one couldn't even see their fingers in front of them, any attempt to observe the door with the naked eye seemed weak.
"Huh? Arthis, that brat, is getting more and more daring! "Duke teased.
Not only was Duque older than Arthas, he had started his career earlier. It was not too much to call him 'kid', but the Lich King would definitely be unhappy if he heard it.
Jaina's expression darkened, and she warned, "Duque, be careful! I feel a huge shift in the elemental network! Arthas has moved the exit of the entire Frost Elemental Realm. "
"Hehe! If I can't even sense this, I'd be a demigod of the Weave in vain. "Duque's mouth twitched.
"Should we stop him? Or wait until he reaches Winter Embrace Lake? "Queen Sylvanas asked.
"Stop him? Aren't we in Arkavon's treasury now? If we suddenly run out, even a fool would shrink back! "Duque smiled mysteriously.
It had to be said that Arthas's entrance was very impressive.
He waved Frostmourne, and all the frost elements in the world trembled. The Ice Elementals drifting around Noscent were like fanatical fans, crazily rushing towards Winter Lake.
They gathered under Arthas's feet, forming a huge ice bridge under his unparalleled evil will. It extended from the west side of Heaven's Wrath all the way to the east side of Winter Embrace Lake.
Although he couldn't see it on the screen, Duque could sense from the agitation of the frost elements that Arthas was sitting on a huge piece of floating ice. It was as if he was riding an escalator, sliding over.
Just as Arthis and her men were about to descend on the floating ice the size of a football field, Duke's voice echoed in the air above Winter Embrace Lake's fortress.
"Come down!" His voice was clear, but it was as loud as thunder.
The Calamity Army powerhouses were shocked. They raised their heads, but there was only a vast expanse of whiteness above them. Apart from the surging cold air and fluttering snowflakes, there was nothing else.
What the hell was Duke Marcus doing?!
