39. The one that has ended (for the Frostfang's Claw brothers)
Sidaron Mill, Gallon Farm, this farm located northwest of Sidaron Mill has long been abandoned, and weeds occupy the place where the grain used to grow, and the strange noise that rings from time to time makes it seem more and more unpopular. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, around the original house of Gallon Farm, a small forward base had been built, and the tired warriors who had just returned from the battlefield were sitting in twos and threes, resting, chatting, and waiting for their first dinner after the battle.
There are currently as many as five forward bases like this in the West Daron Mill area.
The bodies of the fallen comrades have been packed in rough coffins and ready to be sent back to their hometowns, most of which are sent to the Kingdom of Stormwind, where every month a group of recruits will be sent to the battlefield in the North after Archbishop Benedictas established the Royal Knights of Stormwind two years ago.
At first, they were taught by the Scarlet Crusade, but the casualties were too great in that frenetic environment, especially for the recruits, so one year ago, the royal family of Stormwind handed over the command of some of the recruits to the Silver Hand, and it is said that this operation was greatly supported by the growing young prince Anduin.
Many of the veterans of the group were on the verge of collapse after the Scarlet Crusaders broke the story of Renault's father-killing, but after the mortally wounded Ember Bringer returned to battle with a more brilliant blade, and General Bridget Abydis, who had been missing for many days, returned to the hands of Tyre, the Scarlet Crusaders began an almost spontaneous purge within the group.
This purge was not cruel, and the veterans who refused to accept the Scarlet Crusader and the Silver Hand and the Silver Dawn shook hands, and took "purifying heresy" as a guide in their lives, were not brutally executed, but were gathered together, and most of them were ready to follow the old Grand Knight of Mograine to Northrend for a "counter-attack"!
A small number of them were sent to the seemingly forgotten Blood-Colored Monastery, where they were armed in the darkness of the night to navigate the undead's current porous defenses, their mission unaware, but as you can imagine, it would not be pleasant.
It is worth mentioning that former Admiral Barry Weswin, who played an important role in the period between the death of General Abydis Sr. and the return of Miss Bridget to power, was declared missing again after the return of the Ember Messenger, but not much attention was paid to this matter at this moment of his own victory.
On the edge of the battlefield, Darien was holding a blacksmith's hammer, shirtless, ping-pong tinkering with the soldiers' weapons, and several other blacksmiths were busy around him.
In the midst of this trend, Darion also has a very good knack for repairing, but at the moment he is not doing it for fun, but the war is going on so fast that the blacksmiths in the army are too busy, and next to this humble makeshift blacksmith shop, there are piles of broken weapons like hills, or weapons that adventurers have just captured from the battlefield.
Half a month ago, the floating fortress Naxxramas crashed in the Chapel of the Wish of Light, causing a riot of the Holy Spirit, and the undead in the entire northern frontier lost all their high-level commanders in an instant.
Needless to say, the flat push of the veterans of a hundred battles, even the adventurers who are as timid as rats, now dare to go out to "hunt" in twos and threes, the war is going smoothly and outrageously, in just one week, the undead in most areas of the entire Sidaronmir have been separated, and the undead who can only attack the opponent according to instinct have completely become the meal on the plate of the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang.
According to the estimation of the high-level paladins, in a maximum of 3 months, the entire Sidaron Mill will be completely recovered! The rest is the Tirisfa region with a more complex environment, but after the hundreds of thousands of undead in Sidaron Mill are all wiped out, it is only a matter of time before the isolated Tirisfa returns to the kingdom of Lordaeron.
The dark canopy of the sky in the West Dalongmir region was also broken by the mages of Dalaran, and the sunlight finally sprinkled on this devastated land, although it seemed that the situation was very good, but in fact, this land that had been ravaged by the undead for more than 3 years, if you want to restore it to the extent that it can be inhabited, you don't have five years to think about it, and in a severely damaged area like Andohar, the recovery time may be calculated according to 10 years.
However, after hearing the news of the great victory in the war in the northern frontier, the eldest princess of Kaliya, who was far away in Seramo, had already decided that after the recovery of the Western Darlongmir region, she would relocate the exiled Lordaeron government in Theramore to Eastern Dallongmir.
Not everyone can leave their hometown and live on another continent, although 3 years have passed, many Theramore people will still see themselves as nationals of Lordaeron, and everyone is not stupid, although the northern region is a little more dangerous at the moment, but that large area of unowned land is enough for many people to take risks.
What is even more exciting is that the exiles of Lordaeron, who are still living in the Arathi Highlands and the Hills of Hillsbrad, after receiving the news of the imminent recovery of Sidaronmir, do not even need to be organized by officials, many people spontaneously put on simple leather armor, pick up crude weapons, and under the leadership of the former Lordaeron veterans, they regret their original hometown.
The return of these brave men satisfied the paladins who were once unable to launch a continuous attack due to their lack of military strength, and with the participation of these eager people to return to their homeland, the operation to drive out the undead went more and more smoothly.
However, it was always the lower classes of civilians who were cheering, their knowledge did not allow them to know more secrets, and for the real bigwigs, the difficult times were just now.
Stratholme City, a large city located in the hinterland of East Dalongmir, has become a real big rear, because the soldiers have been sent to the front, so this city that was originally crowded with soldiers, it seems to be a lot empty, the new capital of the eldest princess of Kalia will be placed here, so in the past few days, there are a lot of well-dressed guys, waving gold coins everywhere to buy real estate.
For this kind of behavior, the current temporary ruler of Stratholm City, Liadrin, also turned a blind eye, the aristocratic power can never be eradicated, and the eldest princess of Kalia cannot rebuild Lordaeron without their support, so when the time is right, as long as they don't do too much, no one will pursue these speculative things.
At this time, in the town hall of Stratholme, a secret meeting was going on to decide the fate of the northern frontier.
The number of participants was small, but the gold content was definitely high.
Mograine, the old knight entrusted by Princess Kalia to the war in the North, Tirio Fordin, the current commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Brigitte Abydis, the Grand Knight of the Silver Dawn Order, Dick Don, the Grand Knight of the Silver Dawn Order, the old marshal Gathris, who only returned from the front yesterday, and the last one is Sir Moens, the Minister of State of Theramore, who has traveled thousands of miles from Theramore to Stratholme, the current patriarch of the Barov family is the minister on whom Princess Kalia depends.
By the way, the most purchased property in Stratholme at the moment is also the retainer of the old nobleman with considerable administrative skills.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the war in the north has come to an end! This is a precious victory that all the warriors who fell in this glorious land have paid for with their lives, and Lordaeron will not forget them! We will thank and remember them with all the time that is left in this country. ”
Sir Mowens rose from his chair and made a high-sounding remark, which turned the conversation to his true purpose,
"However, the news that came back to Theramore a week ago has worried Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, which is why I am here this time, Mr. Earl, can you really be sure of the authenticity of the news you have got?"
Dick didn't answer, and he couldn't answer now, his face was pale, he was clutching his chest and coughing hard, and when the handkerchief in his hand was removed from the corner of his mouth, the bright red shocked everyone present.
In fact, with Dick's current physical strength, just the impact of Naxxramas's fall could not make his injuries so serious, but the subsequent wave of heroic spirits exploded, but Dick became what he is now, the heroic spirits of the paladins who died in battle, regardless of whether Dick was a hero on the side of justice or not, after they were stimulated by the death breath of Naxxramas, all the undead in that cataclysmic floating city were purified into ashes.
The current wreckage of Naxxramas, along with most of the town of Wish of Light, is probably one of the cleanest places in the world, and the divine energy that is still surging wildly there is still making it impossible for rats and cockroaches to survive.
One can imagine how violent the burst of energy was at the beginning, Dick only remembered that the holy light in the eyes almost condensed into a substantial ocean, and he even felt suffocated when he fell into it, and then the energy burst into his body again, making his brain stunned, and he passed out.
It was Anvena who carried Dick out of the "terrifying" sea of light with difficulty, but after Dick was rescued, he became what he is now, and he is praised for his weakness, and now the paladin even needs to use a cane to barely move.
Gianna and Ferding checked Dick's body for the first time, and finally came to an unimaginable fact, every blood vessel and every bone in Dick's body gathered unimaginable holy energy, almost condensed into an entity, if it wasn't for the silver fist to help him bear more burden, I'm afraid that in that wave of holy light, Dick would be directly supported by a huge amount of holy energy.
Then he is probably the most fancy paladin in the history of Azeroth.
But the problem now is that those substantial holy energies have hindered Dick's normal physiological activities, and he is simply unable to convert these holy energies into his own strength until his physical strength reaches the next stage, and even large-scale mobilization of holy energies will make him have the pain of his body being torn apart.
To put it simply, before the advanced heroes, Dick was a powerful waste.
With his current strength of holy energy, the shield of Naru that he held up casually was already so strong that even Ferdin, who was between a hero and an epic hero, had a headache, but he himself didn't have even a little bit of combat power, and he couldn't even raise the Wind Chaser Sword, although the high healing nature of the holy light could completely guarantee that his muscles would not atrophy, but the conditions for advanced heroes were too harsh, if Dick couldn't comprehend the true essence of power before these holy abilities could further destroy his physical functions.
So... He will not die, but he will live extremely miserable, imagine that on the one hand, there is a faint life like a candle, and on the other hand, there is the holy energy that constantly heals himself, and he will always hover on the edge of life and death, until the holy energy in his body is consumed little by little.
It is conservatively estimated that this process will last at least 100 years, which is simply the most terrible torture in the world.
"Ahem, the Grand Knight of Mograine will take the most elite Scarlet Crusaders away from Northrend, trying to open up the farthest frontier for Lordaeron in the Dark Continent, so that the war can take place outside the country, and the Grand Knight of Fordin will do his best to integrate all the aid we can find, and go to Northrend as soon as the war breaks out, for this reason, the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Hand even let go of their hatred for each other, Sir Mornes, if the news I bring back is false, do you think we will gamble on the fate of the Northern Frontier on such a large scale?"
Dick said with difficulty, "After the Heroic Spirits of the Chapel of the Light's Wish were consumed by the evil schemes of the Scourge, we no longer have the biggest hole card against Arthas, and the only thing we can do is to preemptively push the battle line to his evil soil before he wakes up, and let the war break out there." ”
"But this will keep us bleeding, Mr. Earl, Commanders!"
Sir Moens's brow furrowed, and his left hand tapped lightly on the table, "The newborn Lordaeron needs a calm atmosphere to rebuild the country, according to the calculations of our Chancellor of the Exchequer, it will most likely take us 5 years to restore the rebuilt country, we cannot afford such a large war!"
"I didn't say leave Lordaeron alone... Ahem... Ahem... Didn't leave us alone with this war!"
Dick couldn't say a word anymore, and the feeling of his chest rising and falling violently made him a little out of breath, and Fording took Dick's words and continued,
"Grand Knights of Mograine and the Scarlet Crusaders, as well as the second group of paladins and soldiers who are about to go to Northrend, we are guarding the gates for the entire civilized world, and we deserve the help of the entire civilized world!"
Mograini and Gathiris glanced at each other, and finally the old marshal made the final decision,
"The Northern Expedition has never been Lordaeron's own business!"
"But... Will they be involved?"
"They will, trust me. ”
Dick, who had drunk a dozen glasses of water, wiped the corners of his mouth, and his eyes shone sharply.
(First of all, I said that the lich can't be mind controlled, I definitely haven't played the mission of the Dragonbone Wilds, and secondly, did I say that Kelthugad was bewitched?Finally, there is only one boss in itself, Dark Titan Sargeras, and I think Kel'thugad's transformation is very abrupt, brothers, Kelthugad has appeared since the first volume, and there are guys in almost every volume, obviously in my plan, he must be a very important person, why should he always be regarded as a Nobody?) Of course, my affection for Mr. Frogworth comes more from the silver coins he left behind in the pool of Dalaran, a poor fellow. The brothers with the rhythm stop for a while, drink a glass of water, read a book calmly, the world has turned around by 50%, this is no longer the original world, finally, ask for a wave of ticket bombardment and support! Thank you brothers for your support!)
