21. The beginning of the Land of Damnation

At the heart of this plan is Northrend. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Arthas, who had been the Lich King, knew more about the land than anyone in the current Alliance, from the Old Gods to the Seals, from Vargri to the Vikus, there was nothing in Northrend that he didn't know. Therefore, now that Dalaran and the Adventurers Guild are looking for the ancient rune magic, Arthas himself knows, not only knowing, but also in the field of rune levitation technology, at this point in time, he claims to be the second, and absolutely no one dares to say that he is the first.

So Arthas, after hearing Ansrem's words, thought of a possibility.

Why not build a floating city of your own?

Then, this idea rushed out like a wild horse that had escaped the reins: with the Floating City, there was a base point, and then with this base point as the center, expand the power, establish your own power in Northrend, which is still a barren land, and then use these forces to directly give the other party a ruthless ......

Calm down, it's not something you can just think about......

Arthas shook his head.

Northrend is not a good place to stand, first of all, it is impossible for the demon behind Naozu to let others release the old orc from the cage easily, and secondly, what is under Northrend, Arthas knows very well. Strictly speaking, the existence of those ancient gods is hundreds of times more troublesome than Nai Aozu, and if a large amount of manpower and material resources are rashly invested in it, it is completely a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, generous to the enemy, maybe let the other party get out of the twilight trial in advance.

Therefore, if you want to take root there, you have to use the power that even the ancient gods can't corrupt.

For example, the Wiku people who are still sleeping.

and, the undead scourge.

Just as Arthas thought of the undead disaster, the Pirenod father and son, who had not heard much for a long time, suddenly sent a message through the soul channel.

"Your Majesty, we have managed to establish a hidden stronghold."

Hearing the reply from the two men who had basically been thrown into the corner, Arthas was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he did seem to have given such an order. However, at that time, he just wanted these two people to hurry to the north to die, but he didn't expect this idle move to play a role at this time.

"Very well, let's report on the results."

To be honest, the results of this Reinaud father and son are a bit surprising. At the beginning, after receiving the order from Arthas, the two went directly north to sail to sea, using the ships of the Gul'dan Windswept Clan, stumbling along the way, according to the two men, they saw the coastline before sinking, and then walked directly under the water.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them were undead, this northern adventure would have ended here.

Of course, Northrend wasn't a good place, and the two men went ashore with biting cold winds and knee-high snow. However, the cold and snow were not a problem for the undead, so they made their way north, eventually finding a suitable camp site under a cliff near the coast.

As a tribute to their master, they named it Alsace Town...... Of course, Arthas then renamed them the Northern Rift Outpost. For the next period of time, the two of them were responsible for building the outpost and exploring the surrounding areas, but due to the real shortage of manpower, there was little special success in the past few months, except for taming a large herd of mammoths as labor.

"And the sealers and the mammoths seem to have noticed our presence, and the walrus people are on the side of the walrus, and the mammoths seem to be very aggressive, and I'm afraid they will soon clash with each other."

Since the slaves who are completely controlled say this, it is clear that there is indeed a lack of strength. Although Arthas didn't think that the stronghold of two Death Knights and a whole bunch of mammoths was a place to live, at least it was an outpost, and he really didn't want to lose it like that.

However, he is only a child now, and he can't mobilize Lordaeron's power to support, even if he invites Kenrito and the Adventurers' Guild to help, I'm afraid that the distant water can't save the near thirst, in this case......

"It seems...... I still can't resist the temptation of power. ”

With a wry smile in his heart, Arthas instructed the two sons of Pirenor to be calm for a while, and then mobilized the meager power belonging to the Lich King in his body to grant the permission of the Plague Lord of Pirenord, and by the way, he looked at the panel's evaluation of this permission.

[Scourge Lord: Being able to convert defeated enemies into an undead population is of great benefit to building towns of the undead race. 】

Although it's a thing that doesn't add any attributes.,But from the point of view of the explanation,,It's undoubtedly a very useful authority.,Of course,The job of pulling people to death.,I'm afraid the hatred value is also very large.。

"I grant you higher authority for the time being, and at the same time, I hope that you will use your existing power to break deeper and try to stay away from the area where the guardian dragon is located, especially the Dragon Sleeping Temple."

Although the Life Guardian is not here, the Scourge is against the sky after all, and Arthas is not arrogant enough to think that the Guardian Dragon will spare his two Death Knights. Besides, the base on the coast will be reserved for the current Lordaeron.

For Arthas's orders, the two death knights who were just puppets naturally followed them meticulously. And Arthas, who had solved the matter in the north, finally had time to turn his energy back to the orcs in front of him.

In order to paralyze the orcs, Arthas and Varian have planned several attacks against the orcs in South Seas, and the forces of both sides are currently tug-of-war near Stanbride Town, but both sides are very restrained in limiting this conflict to a small-scale low-intensity level, in a sense, compared to the previous large-scale actions of demolishing cities and bombing buildings, these small battles now are more like testing each other's strength.

With the weakening of the hole cards at hand, the Doomhammer's style is much more cautious than before. And the will to fight of the orc army that appeared on the front line is not as strong as before, compared to the previous indomitable, brutal and ferocious appearance, although the current orcs are still strong, but the combat style seems to be a little weak, so that several times almost let the alliance side directly tear the front, all thanks to the Hammer of Doom and Hell Roar The two people fought without escalating the situation and losing the situation.

So, on the same day that the construction of the Violet Castle of New Dalaran began, Lordaeron's Thousand Horsemen Garithers proposed a final battle with the orcs. As the news spread, most of the mid-level generals of the alliance army expressed their support and jointly signed a petition to launch a decisive battle.

However, with the availability of military support, the Alliance Generalissimo Anduin Lothar vetoed the proposal, saying: "The victory is not worth the great sacrifice." What we need is to drain the blood of the orcs, not to stain our merits with the blood of our own soldiers. ”

Under the veto of the generalissimo, although there was a lot of discussion, the proposal was still abandoned. However, soon, just before the rush of the decisive battle had dissipated, another news came out.

Some of the Alliance's generals have teamed up to decapitate Orgrim Doomhammer, the Orc's Grand Chieftain.

The so-called decapitation operation is probably the civilized term for assassination. Assassination was frowned upon, at least in the upper echelons of the Alliance, and no League nobles would kill their enemies by assassination, at least on the surface. This also led to the fact that when this assassination plan was exposed, a discussion broke out within the entire alliance about the value of war victory and chivalry, and most of the younger and hot-tempered people believed that orcs were not human, so they could do anything. The more mature generals and the generals who participated in the Silver Hand Knights believed that it was right to defeat the orcs on the battlefield, and that taking the wrong path would only turn them into as cruel and bloodthirsty monsters as the orcs.

As a result, the two sides quarreled in front of the generalissimo in the barracks, taverns, towns, and even in tandem with each other, forming gangs, which can be said to be more and more intense, and it seems that it will lead to factional splits within the alliance. Eventually, the generalissimo could not stand this, and threatened to resign, demanded that this pointless argument be stopped, and rebuked several of the main generals who advocated the assassination, and demoted them one by one to punish them for this ungodly behavior.

With the Generalissimo taking a clear position and the full support of the Silver Hand, the main combat force of the Alliance, this kind of controversy will naturally not be able to continue. And after that reprimand, it seems that the relevant disposition is also over. However, it seems that the Holy Light does not want to see the alliance win so easily, and while almost everyone is preparing for the war in full force, a news that shocks the alliance spreads throughout the countries.

Lordaeron Thousand Cavalry Commander, Garissus, who was reprimanded and demoted a few days ago, has defected!

The first to notice his disappearance was Garrison's personal guard, but at the time it was assumed that the irascible but warlike general had gone back to serve as a scout himself. However, after a day and a night without returning, Garissus' unit began to panic and reported the news. Hearing the news, Lothar didn't have time to put down his report, and then received news from the border post that Garissus had forcibly stormed the pass and defected to Nanhai Town.

Now that the evidence was conclusive, Lothar couldn't help but be furious. However, at this time, the generalissimo's first order was not to pursue the traitors, but to urgently mobilize the defense, so that the vital military situation would not be completely mastered by the orcs.

And Varian's exiled army, which was also placed in the town of Stanbride, which is closest to the front line of the orcs, was placed in this transfer. What most people don't know, of course, is that in the midst of this emergency camp, Alsace, who is still a child, is "meeting" with a dangerous visitor.

The visitor's name is Talon Bloodseeker.
