The Sun King's declaration continued. He suddenly raised his arms high, and terrifying dark magic surged out of his body, enough to cover the sky and destroy all living beings in Silverymoon.
Just the dense aura of dark magic that could choke people to death was enough to make all the mages tremble in fear.
Anastrian's magic had recovered!
Not only had he recovered to his peak state when he was young, he was even stronger than that!
That was almost a demigod, the strongest state at the peak of Breaking Dawn.
The Sun King's aged and imposing voice echoed in the air above the square. No, not only that, his voice and image were also broadcasted to every place in Quel 'Thalas that had a magic mirror through amplification magic, projection magic, and Silvermoon City's own magic broadcasting system.
"I have to admit that His Majesty the Lich King is more powerful. He is more suitable to be the master of this world. For greater power, for immortality! I, the Sun King, Anastrian Sunstrider, swear allegiance to His Majesty the Lich King and become his general, on par with Arthas Menethil! "
As soon as these words were said, the world was shocked.
Surrendered?!
The arrogant Sun King had actually surrendered!
If the Sun King died in battle, no matter how unreliable his reign was in his later years, the Elves would still respect and worship him. A king who died to protect his country and his people was definitely worthy of the people's worship.
His bravery would even cause the loyalty of the Elves to shift to his successor, Kael 'thas.
This was the case in the original history. When Kael 'thas left Cuel Salas to find a new path for the remaining Elves, Theron, as the regent, did his best to rebuild his homeland. It was only when Kael' thas completely fell and betrayed the High Elves that Theron had no choice but to set up another faction.
Now, there was a serious deviation in history.
Antonidas, who had died and could only wander the Dalajan ruins, had become a Great Lich.
Now, even the Sun King Anastrian had become a Great Lich.
If Kel 'Thuzad, who was about to be resurrected, then Arthas would have three powerful Great Liches under her command.
At this moment, no one knew that a third Great Lich would appear. Just the fact that the Alliance's two Breaking Dawn Great Wizards had fallen into depravity and become Great Liches was enough to shock every elf to the point of despair.
A Breaking Dawn Archmage!
That was the supreme combat power of the mortal world!
How could he fall just like that!?
"No — Father, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!" On the other side, Kael 'thas was already sobbing uncontrollably as he knelt on the stairs. He couldn't accept the fact that his father had become like this.
The High Elves loved magic and pursued strength in the mysterious field, but they also loved life. This was why Quel 'Thalas was able to nurture thousands of rangers who loved the forest in the Long Song Forest.
His father did not succumb to the torment of his soul after he died in battle. Instead, he 'voluntarily' became a great lich. This fact … Kael 'thas couldn't accept it.
The Sun King sighed. "My child, you don't understand the beauty of eternal life, and you can't understand the fear of old people like us who wake up every day feeling like our lives are counting down. If it weren't for Antonidas as an example, I wouldn't have made up my mind to take this step. "
In a sense, this was the chain effect of Antonidas' fall. His old enemy had fallen from grace and become even stronger, suppressing him. This was something that the competitive Anastrian could not accept.
Similarly, this was the dark side of every old man who was afraid of death.
However, Anastrian didn't know that after Arthas and Frostmourne realized this, Frostmourne had been using soul whispers to tempt him during the battle just now.
No matter what, Frostmourne had succeeded.
The Sun King continued to persuade him. "My child, think about it. Why can the despicable Night Elves, who exiled us, have eternal life, while we can only suffer from old age and death? Why do we have to accept the weakening of our power and the restriction of using magic? In the past, there was no way, but now, we can have a better future. "
Following his words, nearly ten figures in magic robes appeared beside the Sun King.
Kael 'thas, Lor' thas, and Haduron covered their mouths in disbelief. They couldn't imagine that more than 80% of the Silvermoon Councilors had chosen to fall like the Sun King!
Yes! They were all very old.
Perhaps with the lifespan of the High Elves, they still had a hundred years to live. This was a long time for humans, but it was the end for the Elves. The temptation of immortality was hard to resist.
"Come! My child, Kael 'thas, become one of the undead with me! Let us, father and son, rule Quel 'Thalas forever and become eternal kings. And all of you will become an indestructible part of the Undead Kingdom. "After persuading his son, the Sun King continued to announce the fate of the other soldiers.
"No, I don't want to die."
"Sorry, death … I can't accept it."
The army hesitated. Even though this was an order from their king, the Elves were still seriously shaken.
If it were any other order, even if it required them to sacrifice themselves, they might gladly accept it. But who could accept becoming such an ugly monster after death, especially the Elves who loved beauty as much as their lives!
The hesitation soon turned into a commotion.
The crowd became agitated.
The next second, the situation changed again.
A wall of death flames that was 50 meters high, emitting a dark aura, soared into the sky and tightly surrounded the entire square in front of the palace, including the tens of thousands of Elves.
This was the work of the Sun King!
A former Silvermoon Councilor walked out and sneered. "Lowly subjects! This is not a request from your king, but an order from your king. You can choose not to accept it and be killed, but in the end, you will still become immortals. Or you can voluntarily become immortals … If it's the latter, you can obtain more power than you had when you were alive! "
"Hiss …" All the Elves gasped.
At this moment, as if to demonstrate, a row of Silvermoon Councilors released their dark magic power. Suddenly, a black aura soared into the sky, suppressing all the voices of dissent.
Be killed! Become weak!
Or voluntarily die! Become stronger!
If it was death anyway, then there should be no need to consider what choice to make, right?
The voice of the Sun King sounded again. "Is there anyone else who objects? If not, my child, you will be the first to set an example for everyone! "
