Two days ago, Magni Bronzebeard had been at the frontlines of Southsea City. One of the reasons he had personally led the army against the Scourge was because of the death of his second brother, Muradin Bronzebeard.
After receiving the news that Arthas had returned and had possibly caused the death of his second brother, Muradin, Magni was filled with rage and almost went crazy. So, after receiving Duque's news, he had mobilized his army at once to attack the Scourge across the sea.
But very quickly, Magni realized that the dwarven cannons, which had been invincible in the previous battle, felt weak for the first time.
Fierce cannon fire could indeed destroy those brainless zombies and ghouls, and blast those filthy undead creatures into pieces.
Unfortunately, it didn't solve the root of the problem.
As long as there were liches behind the Scourge, these evil beings could keep using dark magic to reassemble the shattered corpses into new undead to continue attacking the Alliance's defense line.
Just because matter was conserved, the number of undead had to be reduced every time they were reassembled.
Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle.
Many times, Magni felt that his own cannons and tanks weren't as powerful as the paladins and priests. A single [Exorcism] or [God's Wrath] would kill a large number of undead. No matter what the liches and necromancers did, they couldn't revive the bone dregs.
The dwarven cannons were excellent, but Magni felt that it was far from enough. This couldn't quell the rage in his heart, the rage of losing his own brother.
So, he sent a letter to Duque, asking Duque to send a few powerful paladins over. He wanted to personally build a few powerful paladins that could be used against the undead and Arthas.
Seeing that letter, Duque's heart skipped a beat, and then he felt a little strange.
But the cunning Duque wouldn't expose him.
Hearing that Duque wanted him to go to Steel Stove Castle, Mograine instinctively wanted to refuse. "I'm leaving. What about the Blood Cross? "
"Mograine," Duque said leisurely, "do you remember how you couldn't fight Arthas at all?"
Hearing that, Mograine's face heated up, and then turned to rage. He believed that his martial arts skills were definitely superior to that treacherous son of Arthis, that traitor to humanity. But now that they were face-to-face, he couldn't do anything to Arthis.
There was only one reason — [Frostmourne]!
That Divine Artifact was too terrifying. It had completely filled up the gap in strength between him and Arthis. No, it had far surpassed him.
The difference between Arthis and Qin Ye was akin to the difference between an infant and a grown man. And now, Qin Ye had heard that Arthis had fallen even deeper into depravity after murdering her master, and that she had grown even stronger than before. Her strength alone was more than enough to drive Qin Ye into despair.
"I …" Mograine was speechless.
Duque began to bluff, "His Majesty Magni Bronzebeard is the strongest blacksmith in the world. If there was anyone who had the chance to create a holy artifact that could fight against Frostmourne, it would definitely be His Majesty Magni. Go, now that Sai Dan is completely unable to leave, you are already the most suitable Paladin under me. "
Mograine was still hesitating.
Duque continued, "If it was just the Calamity Army, I'm 90% confident that I can wipe out all those skeletons, but I'm not a god. Even if I'm a Breaking Dawn Mage, I still can't fight Arthas. That's why eliminating Arthas is the key to this entire crisis. "
At this moment, Abbendis also said, "Go, Alexandros. The Blood Cross still has me. "
If it was Abbendis, Mograine had nothing to worry about. After all, their fiefs were neighbors, and they had been partners for over 20 years.
Mograine said helplessly, "Alright, I'll go."
Duque smiled. "Go quickly and come back quickly. Hm, if you have any special materials that you think might be suitable for forging weapons, bring them along. They might come in handy."
Duque's seemingly casual words caused Mograine to sink into deep thought. He rubbed his chin and muttered, "Seems like there really is a special stone."
"Then bring it along. You don't know ores, but His Majesty Bronzebeard does. "
"Alright! Then … I'll go. "
"Go! Go!"
Seeing Mograine leave with his orders, Duque snickered inwardly.
During the War of the Orcs, Alexandros Mograine had killed a Dark Warlock of the Blackrock tribe and found a shadow crystal on him — the Rizzeb Crystal. In fact, this crystal was the core of the Naaru of the Holy Light tribe. After the Holy Light energy of a Naaru was drained, it would automatically turn into a shadow form. This crystal would also be filled with Holy Light energy after being infused with a large amount of Holy Light.
It seemed that Mograine would hand this crystal to Magni Bronzebeard just like in history, hoping that Magni could use his exquisite forging skills to bring out the power of the crystal's Holy Light to its fullest.
Magni would pour all his grief and resentment towards the Calamity Army into the weapon he was about to forge. Thus, the legendary and most representative weapon of the Holy Knights — Ashbringer — was born.
Why did Duque not snicker?
Because only he, as a transmigrator, knew that Magni's child, Muradin, who was rumored to have been hacked to death by two fools, was not dead!
At that time, Muradin did not fall. After being knocked down by the power of Frostmourne, Muradin fell into a coma in Northrend for a long time before being rescued by one of the natives of Northrend, the 'Ice Dwarves'.
But because of the impact of that knock down, Muradin did not remember his past at all. Although he lost his memory, he did not lose his fighting strength. Instead, he relied on this fighting strength to help the 'Ice Dwarves' repel the 'Ice Giants' who invaded the territory of the Ice Dwarves, and was elected as the new leader by these Ice Dwarves.
Because he lost his memory, he gave himself a new name — Yog Storm Heart.
Since then, Muradin led the Ice Dwarves in the home of the Storm Cliffs — Frostcastle, training eagles, catching prey, and fighting against Northrend's harsh nature and ferocious enemies.
It was not until a long time later that a small group of dwarves from the Explorer's Association stepped into this place and searched for the ruins of the Titans in the mountains of the Storm Cliffs. The leader was Muradin's third brother — Bu Laing Bronzebeard.
The Ice Dwarves helped Bu Laing escape the siege of the Iron Dwarves, and then met up with the Dwarf King Magni, who had come to Northrend to find his younger brother, at Frostcastle. The reunion of the three Bronzebeard brothers awakened Muradin's memory, as well as his gratitude and resentment, love and hate towards Arthas.
In the end, the three brothers reunited happily, and then pulled a large group to chase after the Second Fool.
Duque did not dare to reveal the truth now. What if Magni did not have the blessing of [Princeps' Wrath] and could not create Ashbringer?
