Chapter 290: Silver Hand Warhammer, the Prelude to the Northern Expedition

The famous Ashbringer! No! Now he should be called the fallen Ashbringer.

Originally this weapon should have fallen into Tílì'ào Fúdīng's hands, and the Lich King would lead these Blackfang Knights' death knights to attack the Chapel of the Holy Light's Wish, thereby triggering that war.

The renowned Battle of the Holy Light Chapel, Tílì'ào Fúdīng made a shining entrance, and then the fallen Ashbringer evolved.

Wūsè'ěr's holy light power is very strong, and even with a defiled body, he possesses immensely strong holy light.

"I feel evil, despair, and unwillingness on this weapon," Wūsè'ěr said, somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand why he should be made to use such an evil weapon.

"As a holy knight, he should use a warhammer, not such a greatsword, let alone such an evil greatsword."

"This weapon wasn't like this before! Its name is Ashbringer, made by my father, Alexander Mograine."

The weapon requested to be forged by Dwarf King Màigēní Tóngxū ultimately fell.

"Although I used it to exchange for my father's soul, this weapon was still not purified." Dálǐ'ān Mògéláiní slowly told the story of the Kindness Envoy, a most sorrowful tale.

After hearing the story of the Ashbringer, Wūsè'ěr nodded and said: "A deeply moving story—your brother really is a bastard."

"Your father is a true hero; let me purify this weapon! Then I will personally end Arthas."

Since returning to this world, he has once again established contact with the Holy Light, and the holy light within him has grown ever more vast and powerful.

"No! Wūsè'ěr! This weapon belongs to another; it is fated that only that person will be its true master." At this moment, Luode reached out and stopped Wūsè'ěr, who was about to purify the Ashbringer.

At the same time, he took out the holy knight's artifact, the Silver Head Warhammer, from his space, intending to give this extraordinarily significant weapon to Wūsè'ěr to use.

Originally, Luode intended for Runti to use this weapon, even building up her reputation, but frankly, although Runti obtained the right to use the Holy Light, she simply does not believe anything the Holy Light says, and her holy light power is destined never to reach another level.

Moreover, the Beast Pirates' newly gained power, plus the Ten Tails he now possesses, have given Luode a new plan in his heart.

Letting Runti obtain this weapon is merely to raise her prestige within the Silver Hand Knights.

Now the Silver Hand Knights are expendable to Luode; he has set his sights on higher things.

"This weapon is filled with holy radiance and possesses a power of order—what weapon is this?" Wūsè'ěr looked at the warhammer shining before him and asked.

This weapon gives him a sense of mighty divinity that words cannot describe; it is an artifact.

"The name of this weapon is Silver Hand."

"Silver Hand?" Dálǐ'ān Mògéláiní said doubtfully.

This is not the name of their knight order.

"The Silver Hand Knights merely borrowed the weapon's name; its true master is the Guardian Tyr."

"It belongs to a Titan weapon; its true name is the Silver Hand Warhammer." Luode said.

"Is this, is this the legendary weapon? The artifact belonging to Guardian Tyr, the weapon that once defended humanity's ancestors?" Wūsè'ěr asked.

The Silver Hand Warhammer holds great significance for humanity; it is the guardian's weapon, it is Tyr's weapon.

Even the entire Silver Hand Knights were named after this weapon, and I never expected it to be in the hands of a demigod.

"Exactly, this weapon, the Silver Hand Warhammer—I think it's best for you to wield it."

As for the Ashbringer, you must set out immediately and go to the Chapel of the Holy Light's Wish to hand this weapon over to Tílì'ào Fúdīng.

Let Tílì'ào Fúdīng purify this weapon, then rebuild the Silver Hand Knights; I will contact the power of the Newborns and the Blood Elves here.

"We will launch a Northern Expedition war, defeat the Lich King Arthas, and completely end the Lich King." Luode said.

As for artifacts, if Luode wanted, he could mass-produce them; he has plenty of Titan God Steel and White Dwarf Metal in his hands.

Weapons forged by mortals, even Titan Guardian weapons, are of little use to him.

"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"

The death knights present all shouted, and after breaking free from the Lich King's control, the thing they most wanted and were most willing to do was to take revenge on the Lich King Arthas.

Now they have the legendary holy knight Wūsè'ěr, and they also possess the legendary Guardian Tyr's weapon, the Silver Hand.

Furthermore, with the demigod's aid, they will gain wings like a tiger and can sweep away the Lich King's threat in one fell swoop. Wūsè'ěr nodded! He knelt before Luode, stretched out both hands, and tremblingly received the weapon.

"This is my mission, Arthas, that traitor—I will end him." Wūsè'ěr said.

"This time I won't show mercy again; I originally had a chance to kill Arthas when he became a death knight, but I held back then."

As a result, he died at the hands of his own disciple, causing the tragedy of Lordaeron, the rise of the Scourge, and the birth of the Lich King.

This time he must completely end Arthas.

"Go! Let Tílì'ào Fúdīng gather with you, and let the Alliance and Horde together launch an offensive into Northrend." Luode said.

Wūsè'ěr nodded! He and Dálǐ'ān Mògéláiní boarded the Acherus Fortress and flew toward the Eastern Plaguelands; their target is the Chapel of the Holy Light's Wish.

After seeing them off, Luode brought Kèlèsūjiādé and others into the Dark City.

Kèlèsūjiādé and Xī'ěrwǎnàsī are old acquaintances, once controlled by the Scourge. During that time, they were colleagues, serving under Arthas together.

Until Yìlìdān used the Eye of Sargeras to attack the Frozen Throne, freeing the Banshee Queen from control.

"Long time no see, Lady Xī'ěrwǎnàsī." Kèlèsūjiādé bowed to her and said.

"I never thought you'd betray Arthas?" Xī'ěrwǎnàsī snorted! She had thought the Scourge's most loyal to Arthas was Kèlèsūjiādé! "That guy is a complete idiot—I really don't want to serve his kind anymore." Kèlèsūjiādé said.

What I truly admire is the first-generation Lich King, not Arthas that fool—he merely got lucky and obtained the Crown of Domination.

A pointless fool.

"From now on, don't call me lady; call me mistress! Your new master is my man." Xī'ěrwǎnàsī smiled smugly.

"Oh! Great mistress, I will serve you!" It seems even a great demigod has pursuits, though the Banshee Queen was indeed good-looking in life.

After a few words, Kèlèsūjiādé took his leave; he still needed to arrange his subordinates and get along well with the Dark City's residents in the future.

Naxxramas Fortress will henceforth hover above the Dark City.

"Have you decided to move against Arthas? I've been waiting for this day, barely able to contain myself—I want to personally slay that brat." Xī'ěrwǎnàsī said excitedly; no one is more eager to slaughter Arthas than she.

"I won't take part in this war; you, Kǎi'ěrsàsī, plus Wūsè'ěr and Tílì'ào Fúdīng, can easily settle Arthas." Luode said.

"I still want you to personally deal with Arthas for me, then stomp on his head and give him a good humiliation!" Xī'ěrwǎnàsī said.

"Hahaha! Could it be that you can't do it now? Don't underestimate the power of the Eternal Mangekyo and the Reincarnation Eye—your eyes' power alone is enough to crush the Lich King.

"Even in Susanoo form, a single slash can pierce both the Frozen Throne and the Icecrown Citadel." Luode spread his hands helplessly and said.

Please! After you followed me, Queen, your power has also increased manifold; now your power has surpassed the mortal level.

Uchiha Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo. The power it brings is not simple; a hundred-meter-tall Susanoo Giant can easily push over the Lich King.

Furthermore, you also have the power of your own Underworld Fruit, and adding the Susanoo fused with the Power of Death makes it incredibly powerful.

"Hmph! Killing him directly would be too lenient; this time I must properly torment him; I want this Lich King to experience despair."

"As you like, I will go to Silvermoon City."

"As for Kael'thas' side, you just need to send someone to notify him; as for revenge against Arthas, Kael'thas is also very willing." Sylvanas said.

"I will go myself this time; I want to bring a guy back. It's been half a year already; that guy should have recovered by now." Luode said, then opened a portal and waved at Sylvanas.

Sylvanas shrugged, then excitedly began to gather the power of all the newcomers, preparing to attack the Lich King Arthas.

"Welcome to Silvermoon City, great demigod; your presence brings glory to the entire Silvermoon City." Kael'thas came before Luode, bowed, and said.

"Kael'thas, I have two things to inform you this time."

"The first thing is that Arthas has awakened; we are about to launch a Northern Expedition war."

"Second, the Naaru you captured—has it recovered?" Luode asked.

"This time I personally made the trip just for the Holy Light Seven Tangram." (End of chapter)
