Thrall believed that they were deceived and forced back then, but that was not the case at all. They handed their race over to the Burning Legion with their own hands.
The good news is that the Abyss Lord is finally dead, though unfortunately not by his own hand.
On his deathbed, the old orc recalled many things. His entire life had been spent fighting and taking pleasure in killing.
Thrall, perhaps you can lead the orcs to a true future, but I won't live to see it.
The old orc slowly closed his eyes, bidding a final farewell to this world. At that moment, the old man was unaware that a new life awaited him from the Shadowlands. (According to version 9.0, Grom Hellscream ultimately went to the Maw, deemed an irredeemable soul. He did indeed slay the Pit Lord, but he also indiscriminately slaughtered innocents.)
The guardians of the forest, the night elves, and the Alliance soldiers who had survived the catastrophe gazed at the Holy Light Judgment, which stood like a beacon on the edge of destruction, their eyes filled with awe and reverence.
Mannoroth, the Pit Lord and a vanguard general of the Burning Legion, has fallen!
A human mage seized a fleeting opportunity and, with a divine sword imbued with holy light and faith, delivered this earth-shattering, fatal blow!
"This big guy's self-destruct capability is pretty strong," Rhodes said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
This battle was extremely dangerous. We lost several golden warriors, three withered wood warriors were killed, and the biggest loss was the loss of an angel.
Their mana was depleted twice; if it weren't for the mana potions they had prepared beforehand, they wouldn't have had enough mana for this battle.
The magic in the Heroes of Might and Magic world is quite good, especially some negative status magic which can sometimes be surprisingly effective.
The reason he was able to successfully kill Manonos this time was due to the magic of being blind, facing imminent disaster, being bloodthirsty, and being blessed with good fortune.
If it weren't for these spells, Rhodes wouldn't have been so lucky, and Mafia wouldn't have been so unlucky.
However, I was a little careless. I thought that Magibhar wasn't that powerful. I thought that with Uther, two angels, and a demigod, I could easily defeat him. I didn't expect that this guy's combat power was so strong.
Next time, I absolutely cannot be so hasty; I must be absolutely certain before I do it.
“You have done very well, Rhodes. We have won the final victory in this battle,” Cenarius said, dragging his weary body to Rhodes.
Fortunately, Rhodes arrived with reinforcements; otherwise, if he were to face the Abyss Lord Manonos alone, his chances of winning would be virtually zero.
Cenarius had no idea that if Rhodes hadn't come, he wouldn't even have seen Mag's Fat before an old orc killed him.
“Finally, we’ve won! Well done! Rhodes’ final blow was perfect.” Uther, holding the Silver Hand Warhammer, staggered over to Rhodes and sat down on the ground, saying this.
"You have successfully slain the Abyss Demon Lord. From this day forward, you are a hero," Caponia said.
Despite having the help of the Lightbringer and the demigod, Rhodes' power in this battle should not be underestimated.
"Thank you," Rhodes said, nodding to the female elf.
“Be careful next time, Rhodes,” Jaina said as she walked over.
Rhodes nodded, chatted with the others for a few minutes, and then, at Cenarius's invitation, went to the night elf settlement, leaving the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the night elf sentries.
After the battle ended, Rhodes received a system notification after a long time: a glorious victory! You have gained xxx experience points, your level has increased to 9, and your level has increased to 10.
This time, Rhodes leveled up twice and gained 2 attribute points. He used these 2 points to increase his knowledge and strength by 1 each, bringing his strength to 9 points and his knowledge to 11 points.
With the added bonus from basic intelligence, Rhodes' mana is now as high as 150. After leveling up twice, Rhodes also gained a skill. The first choice he made was a useless ballistic spell and an upgrade to advanced earth magic. Without hesitation, Rhodes chose advanced earth magic. After all, he couldn't just use a ballistic spell to smash someone's city wall!
Since he wanted to pursue the path of a mage, he would definitely need to learn all four elements of magic. Right now, he only had one element: air and earth. His second option was intermediate air magic or basic healing spells. Rhode chose intermediate air magic.
It's easy to go astray in the skill tree, so hopefully nothing goes wrong. I need to get the remaining two magic series out quickly. If I end up with a useless skill, I'll be devastated.
After adding upgrade points and skills, Rhode looked at the main event of the day. This time, Rhode killed two powerful targets, one of whom was the old orc Gromash Hellscream, and the other was the abyss lord Mannonos.
Congratulations, host, you have acquired a wilderness building, the Mountain Fortress. This is a very powerful facility. First, it can upgrade level 1 troops to advanced level for free, and other advanced troops can be upgraded at a discount. It's a pity that one of my angels died, otherwise I would have two archangels. This thing is pretty good, and it's a perfect match for the refugee camp.
And besides this, the next one is going to be a big surprise.
Congratulations on your first kill of a demigod! You are rewarded with a random city.
Chapter 124 The Resurrection of the Archangel of Holy Light, Elemental City
"Reward 1: Special Wilderness Building - Mountain Fortress (already issued)."
Another new wilderness structure has appeared outside Rhodes's System City: a massive fortress.
高山堡垒升级1级兵种:完全免费,2级兵种:仅需支付原升级费用的25%,3级兵种:支付原升级费用的50%,4级兵种:支付原升级费用的75%,5级及以上兵种:需支付全额升级费用100%。
Your own angel can be upgraded to an archangel, and the archangel has a resurrection ability. In the game, an archangel can revive 100 points of health.
I can only revive during battle; my body will disappear after the battle. However, if the body is on an archangel, it can be revived.
Rhodes instantly realized something, and without even checking the new random city, he directly clicked to visit the Mountain Fortress, and then spent gems and 2000 units of gold to upgrade his Holy Angel to an Archangel.
The Archangel has 250 HP, 30 defense, 30 attack, and 18 speed, second only to the Phoenix. It has two special skills. The first is that as long as you have the Archangel, the morale of all the troops will increase by 1. Angels are noble creatures, and having them will boost your troops' morale.
The second special skill is the most powerful aspect of the Archangel: resurrection. This is the most overpowered skill, and it also increases damage against demons by 50%.
His own Holy Light Angel was already an upgraded version of the Little Angel, and this upgrade will only make him more powerful.
With a burst of golden light, his little angel changed, its wings becoming thicker and stronger, full of power.
His white robes transformed into a suit of armor, resembling those of an ancient Greek warrior. His weapon was replaced with a spiral-shaped prophetic sword, and a shield appeared in his other hand.
A brighter angel halo appeared above their heads. The upgraded angel wings were still golden, but even more magnificent.
His title has changed to Archangel of Holy Light. He has been strengthened and upgraded by the power of holy light, and his combat power is far stronger than that of ordinary archangels.
Their health increased to 400, directly jumping from Tier 7 to the average Tier 8 unit.
Attack power became 35, defense power also became 35, speed remained unchanged at 18 points, and damage became 70~70.
As for the special skills, they have also changed. First, the passive skill of morale +1 is still retained, while the active skill resurrection has been changed to resurrect 150 health points. However, there are restrictions in reality. At least some remains of the corpse must be preserved, at least 70% of the remains must be preserved, and the corpse must be a living being that did not die naturally. Finally, the time of death cannot exceed 24 hours, otherwise the archangel cannot resurrect it.
In addition, the healing power of the Holy Light has been retained, and angels can still use all the skills of the paladins, and their power is even stronger.
This upgraded version of the Holy Angel is somewhat similar to a lower-level unit of the Holy Archangel!
In the Heroes of Might and Magic: Following the Miracles expansion, every race gained a Tier 8 unit, and the castle also had a Tier 8 unit, the Holy Archangel, with 500 health, 40 attack, 40 defense, and 70-70 damage.
It has reached the level of a top-tier Tier 8 unit, while I, the Archangel of Holy Light, am equivalent to a lower-tier unit of this Holy Angel under the blessing of the power of Holy Light.
I wonder if I'll get the Human castle this time? It would be fun if I did. I wonder how I can get the level 8 units, and even level 9 and level 10 units.
Now Rhodes is going to try his theory and see if he can resurrect another angel. If he can, then he can get two Archangels of Holy Light.
Rhodes had previously had an archangel killed by the abyss lord Manonos, but some of its remains were preserved.
Without saying a word, Rhodes ran to the other angel who had died. His body was nothing but a pile of remains, and it was still charred. The angel's feathers had completely disappeared.
At this moment, Cenarius, Uther, and the two female mages all looked at Rhodes, wondering what he was going to do.
"Rhodes, what are you doing? Are those angels over there the ones that just died?" Jaina asked curiously from a distance.
Having followed Rhodes for so long, she had gained some understanding of angels, which were holy life forms.
It was completely different from the Wagrik I had imagined, or at least completely different from the one described in the records.
“The great Titan Guardian has just bestowed upon me another new reward, this time making my angel even more powerful,” Rhodes said, nodding to the crowd.
"My Holy Light! It is indeed possible. The Holy Light has a certain resurrection ability, but it has certain limitations. The corpse must be intact, but the one in front of me doesn't seem to be intact." In fact, paladins also have a certain resurrection ability. This skill is called Redemption, and only the most elite paladins can master it. There are too many paladins to count on one hand.
Priests also possess a skill called Resurrection, but like Redemption, very few people have mastered it; at least no Holy Light Priest can do it yet.
However, this resurrection is also limited. First, he must be killed by the enemy; the holy light cannot bring him back from natural death by illness or old age.
Second, the time of death cannot exceed 1 hour, otherwise the power of holy light cannot save you. The third restriction is that the body must remain intact after death. If you are missing half a head or cut in half, then there is no way to save you.
“Lord Uther, it is not me who possesses the ability to resurrect, but him.” Rhodes smiled and summoned the upgraded Archangel of Light in front of everyone.
Accompanied by a burst of golden light, an angel, about 4 meters tall, dressed in magnificent armor, holding a golden shield and a golden prophet's sword, appeared before the crowd.
The enormous golden wings flapped with a strong aura of holy light, invigorating everyone and even making them feel incredibly excited, as if with this angel by their side, anything could be accomplished.
This is the effect of the angel's morale boost; everyone's morale will be greatly enhanced by the appearance of this creature.
"By the Holy Light above, this is the true Archangel!"
“This is truly a miracle, Rhodes, the Titan Guardians have created an extraordinary being,” Jaina said.
However, at this moment, the demigod Cenarius frowned. He had never seen Rhodes use this Archangel of Light before, or rather, he had never seen him 1 years ago.
Because the angel he saw 1 years later was called the Holy Angel, a more holy and enormous creature. These creatures were no less powerful than him, definitely at the demigod level.
It seems that Rhodes's units still need to be upgraded. However, I have doubts about Cenarius, the Titan guardian behind Rhodes. I even think that what is behind Rhodes is not a Titan guardian, but a true god, or even a living Titan. Otherwise, a Titan guardian could not have created such a miracle.
As a demigod of the wilderness of Azeroth, his status and strength were not much inferior to those of the Titan Guardians, yet he did not possess such power.
Rhodes smiled at everyone, then ordered the Archangel of Light in front of him to use the resurrection skill, targeting the angel killed by Manonos.
The Archangel of Holy Light raised the Prophet's Sword in his hand, and a golden light enveloped the angel's mangled body.
With a burst of golden light, the charred remains began to revive, flesh and blood grew back, and even the white robe was restored.
In just a moment, the angel who had been killed by the Abyss Lord stood up again. Seeing this, Rhode nodded in satisfaction and put the Holy Light Angel into his system space. He then visited the Mountain Fortress again and spent gems and 2000 gold to upgrade it into a Holy Light Archangel.
"Reward Two: A random Heroes of Might and Magic city template! City template drawing in progress..."
"He really came back to life, what an amazing ability."
"This is truly an incredible miracle."
"Lord Rhodes, could you please have him resurrect our sisters? Many of our sisters have died in this war," a night elf sentinel asked.
“Resurrection is no problem, but the body must be at least 70% intact. If it can be 100% intact, then the Holy Angels won’t need to intervene; I can do it myself,” Rhodes said, turning to the crowd.
It was just a small favor. Anyway, I have two Archangels of Light now. In the game, an Archangel's skill can only be used once per battle, but in reality, an Archangel's resurrection can be done twice a day.
However, Rhodes can exploit a bug with this move. The new Archangel hasn't used the resurrection skill yet, and this resurrection can restore 150 health points. Since the Night Elves' health obviously doesn't exceed that number, putting several Night Elf corpses together can result in a group resurrection.
"Rhodes, do you possess the skill of Redemption?" Uther asked, his expression changing.
Rhodes smiled and nodded at Uther. Uther knew this skill, but he wasn't very good at using it. Rhodes, however, could use it perfectly with the help of the spellbook.
The other night elf soldiers nodded excitedly and then began to collect the corpses of their comrades whose bodies were still relatively intact.
While he was there, Rhodes began to inspect his second city.
Castle? Tower? Dungeon? Fortress, or...? His mind raced through the strengths and weaknesses of each race, praying that he could draw a powerful one that suited the current situation.
The system interface shone brightly, and countless city phantoms flashed by before finally freezing in place!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Elemental City!"
This city is a wonderful surprise!
