The Sun King's words forced Kael 'thas into a dead end.
Which elf in their right mind would commit suicide to become a lich?!
Putting aside the eternal life that the World Tree brought to the Night Elves, just the lifespan of the High Elves was extremely long. It was not a problem for them to live for thousands of years.
The World of Azeroth was very kind to the elves. They could maintain their youthful appearance for 90% of their lives. From 100 years of age to decades before their death, they would generally maintain the appearance of handsome men and beautiful women.
Most elves loved beauty. Other than Darkan, who was a fanatic of dark magic, no one was willing to die and become like that.
Of course, it was another matter if they were caught by a Breaking Dawn Mage and forced to die.
Although they did not want to admit it, there seemed to be clear evidence that a dead Breaking Dawn Mage would become stronger.
Should they be killed first, become weak, and then be enslaved?
Or should they throw themselves into the embrace of darkness?
If death was the prerequisite, there was almost no need to consider this choice.
Unfortunately, no one wanted to die, especially under such circumstances.
Unknowingly, Prince Kael 'thas had become the focus of the tens of thousands of elites present.
Kael 'thas was the focus of countless sword-like gazes. That feeling was worse than being cut by a thousand knives. He could clearly hear the thoughts of the elves behind him.
"We don't want to sacrifice our beauty for power!"
"Lead us to rebel against your father!"
"Kael 'thas, since your father is dead, regardless of whether he still exists or not, you are already our king!"
"Why should the living listen to the orders of a dead man?!"
Those who were able to risk their lives to fight their way back to protect the Emperor under the shroud of evil forces were naturally not weak. It was no exaggeration to say that the people gathered here were the most elite warriors of Cuel Salas.
They did not lack courage, strength, or loyalty to the kingdom.
What they lacked was a flag to fight against evil.
Obviously, they wanted Kael 'thas to be this flag!
Kael 'thas was gentle, sincere, powerful, and had a perfect image. He was the role model of the entire Cuel Salas. At this moment, he was also the hope of the elves.
Even though they knew that they were no match for him, the hearts of the elves were still in their throats, eager to hear the declaration of resistance from the mouth of their beloved prince.
No! Even if it was just a shout filled with resistance! They would not hesitate to fight the Sun King who had fallen into evil.
Anastrian, who attempted to drag the entire race into the abyss of death in order to not die, did not deserve to be their king!
But …
But …
They were doomed to be disappointed.
Kael 'thas' mouth squirmed. From the trembling of his robe, one could imagine how much his body was trembling under the robe.
"Your Majesty, you …" Theron suddenly shouted. He hoped to wake Kael 'thas up!
The dead were already dead!
Dead men do not deserve royal power!
As long as Kael 'thas, the righteous prince, raised his arm and called himself king, he would definitely gain the recognition of all the soldiers.
That's right! At this moment, Kael 'thas was already a king in the truest sense of the word. He only needed to take a small step forward!
No one expected Kael 'thas to actually … slowly kneel down.
It was obedience to his father, obedience to the former king.
Whether it was sincere or forced, he knelt down.
Almost every living high elf felt a burning shame. It was the most ruthless kind of humiliation, as if they were being mercilessly whipped in the face. The prince that they had high hopes for was actually such a coward?!
"Your Highness! I was wrong about you! "Haduron Brightwing, who was not far from Kael 'thas, roared!
But a more powerful female voice interrupted him. It was Theron's voice. "You still call him Your Highness?! He doesn't even have the most basic respect for the living. He is not worthy of being our king! "
In the next instant, two huge hands of magic power appeared out of thin air and sent the two Ranger Generals flying. Then, they were pressed to the ground by the huge hands of magic power. Under the power of the mysterious magic, they could only let out muffled groans and could not utter a single word!
The Sun King's voice sounded again. "Come, come to me, my child. As a ruler, you must have the strength and dignity of a ruler. You don't have to care about their opinions. No one will oppose us. Because they will soon crawl in front of us as undead. They will be our subjects for all eternity. "
The voice itself had a strong magic power that completely surpassed the Radiant Moon level. It was so huge and terrifying that no one dared to resist.
Kael 'thas Sunstrider … surrendered!
Perhaps some people would wonder why this Kaizi surrendered so easily.
In history, after the fall of his country, he first sought refuge with the Alliance, then was put on death row by Vashj. Then, he was rescued by Vashj, poached by Illidan, but did not do well. In the end, he sought refuge with the most unreliable boss, Kil 'jaeden, and fell.
Someone had once discovered that such a large adult elephant was actually chained by a small iron chain tied to a small iron nail. This was because when the elephant was young, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from the small iron chain. After failing day after day, the shadow of failure had been deeply rooted in its mind, forming a habit, and becoming a part of its life — Ah! I can't resist this iron chain.
Think about it from another perspective. In the human world, being a crown prince for twenty years was already extremely difficult. But because of the long lifespan of the High Elves, being a crown prince for a thousand years was not a problem at all.
More than a thousand years of accumulated power!
More than a thousand years of taming!
Even if he had always resisted, he had never been able to surpass his father. Just this alone would plant an indelible seed of failure in Kael 'thas' heart.
If Kael 'thas was bold enough, he would have long ago overturned the Silvermoon Council and revived the royal power.
If Kael 'thas was vicious enough, he would have long ago secretly poisoned his father to inherit the throne.
If …
There were many possibilities in this world, but there was only one result — Kael 'thas, who was raised in this semi-greenhouse environment, seriously lacked courage and decisiveness.
That was why there was Kael 'thas, who always placed his hopes on the strong.
That was why there was this timid prince who would obey even if he was asked to die.
Time seemed to stop.
The air seemed to freeze.
All of the surviving elves had expressions of extreme horror and fury on their faces.
They knew that the following death would be terrifying and miserable!
But no one dared to stand up and fight against the incomparably terrifying undead king!
Who?
Who else?
Were there no more heroes among the High Elves who dared to stand up and fight against such a terrifying tyrant?
At this moment, when every Elf yearned for a hero and a leader, a female voice sounded!
"I object!"
