Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

Facing Medivh's strong request, Gul'dan responded without hesitation: "The tribe will gladly accept your order and complete the task you have assigned us!"

At this moment, Gul'dan's eyes were flashing with greed and ambition.

Then, Medivh showed Gul'dan the Tomb of Sargeras, which seemed to be a mysterious place with endless power and a frightening atmosphere.

Gul'dan was instantly attracted by what he saw. He knew that if he could control such powerful power, it would be enough to prolong his fragile and short life.

So, faced with the temptation of power and immortality, Gul'dan decisively accepted Medivh's request and expressed his willingness to do his best to destroy Azeroth.

But things never go as planned. Just as the fierce war was in full swing, Medivh unfortunately suffered a fierce attack from the human side.

This sudden change, like a violent storm, had a serious impact on the spiritual connection between him and Gul'dan. Gul'dan, who was keenly aware of this change, realized that Medivh's end was approaching.

In order to obtain the exact location of the Tomb of Sargeras, Gul'dan decided to venture into the depths of Medivh's consciousness to explore the truth. However, after a lot of hard searching, he ultimately failed to find the answer he had been dreaming of.

Finally, with an unwilling roar, Medivh took his last breath and passed away.

As for Gul'dan, because he had been trapped in Medivh's unfathomable mind for a long time, his mind and body were under tremendous pressure and torture, so exhausted that he fell into a deep sleep without any consciousness...

After an unknown amount of time, Gul'dan finally woke up from his long sleep. However, at this time, the outside world had changed drastically. It turned out that Orgrim Doomhammer had successfully killed the Blackhand Warchief controlled by Gul'dan, and completely destroyed the dreaded Shadow Council, in order to further consolidate his power.

Since most of the warlocks of his Shadow Council had either died or were about to be executed, the desperate Gul'dan quickly started thinking and tried to convince Chieftain Orgrim that he was still useful.

In the end, he successfully saved his own life with his eloquence. In order to express his sincerity, Gul'dan promised Orgrim that he would provide him with a large number of fearless undead knights.

With this idea in mind, Gul'dan began to prepare to create an unprecedented knight regiment for Orgrim that was completely fearless of life and death. After careful consideration, he made up his mind to create a death knight that would terrify the world.

Gul'dan fully expected that this knight corps would serve Orgrim wholeheartedly. At the same time, this could be regarded as a special "letter of allegiance" he submitted to Orgrim to demonstrate his loyalty and extraordinary ability.

First, Gul'dan carefully selected the souls of those warlocks of the Shadow Council who died heroically in battle. You know, these warlocks had extremely profound attainments in shadow magic when they were alive, and because of this, their souls contain extremely powerful shadow power, and this power has become one of the most critical factors for Gul'dan to create the Death Knight Legion.

Then, Gul'dan began to search tirelessly for the remains of the Alterac knights who died heroically in the fierce battle. You know, these knights were outstanding elite warriors in the Kingdom of Alterac when they were alive! Their strong bodies that have been tempered by thousands of times are simply the perfect containers for carrying powerful souls.

Gul'dan finally found the body of an Alterac knight who had died in the tragic battle in Southshore. He then executed all his warlocks without hesitation, just to force the Shadow Council's gloomy and terrifying spiritual power into these death knights.

In this way, on the surface, these knights seemed to be serving Orgrim loyally, but in fact, the object of their true loyalty was the sinister Gul'dan.

During the mysterious spiritual ceremony, Gul'dan initially intended to use the power of the orc necromancer to try to forcibly stuff the soul of the orc warlock into the body of the Alterac Knight. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, and the attempt ultimately ended in failure.

Faced with such setbacks, Gul'dan did not give up easily. On the contrary, in order to achieve his ulterior motives, he actually adopted an extremely cruel and extreme method. He ruthlessly sacrificed those innocent necromancers, and then used their living hearts to carefully forge a new enchanted staff containing terrible undead power.

In a mysterious and dark valley, Gul'dan held a staff that emitted a strange light, muttered something, and his eyes flashed with fanaticism and greed. As he cast the spell, a powerful energy surged from the staff, instantly enveloping the body of an Alterac knight and the soul of an orc warlock.

Gul'dan concentrated on casting shadow spells. This dark power was like an invisible pair of hands, carefully guiding the orc's soul to slowly approach the lifeless body of the knight. When the two came into contact, a dazzling light burst out, but was quickly suppressed by Gul'dan's magic power.

At this critical moment, Gul'dan did not dare to relax at all. He constantly adjusted the intensity and frequency of the spell to ensure that the soul could be smoothly integrated into the body. After some hard work, the soul finally completely entered the body, but the situation was not stable at this time.

Gul'dan frowned, and his hands danced quickly, and shadow spells appeared in the air, and then sank into the corpse. These spells seemed to have magical powers, quickly stabilizing the soul, allowing it to gradually adapt to the new body environment and begin to establish a close connection with it.

Time passed by, and Gul'dan's forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes remained firm and focused. Finally, with his unremitting efforts, his soul and body achieved a perfect fusion. The originally stiff corpse suddenly trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of coldness and evil in his eyes.

At this moment, Gul'dan burst into triumphant laughter, for he knew that his experiment had been a huge success - the first generation of Death Knight was born!
