Adlane dreamed, he dreamed of a place full of verdant, dreamy, and vibrant landscapes, where even the most tyrannical people would find peace and serenity.

"It's ...... Emerald Dreams?"

"Are you awake?" a female voice like a spring breeze sounded in Edlan's ears, "I've finally found you, Awakener of the Green Dragon Legion." ”

"Eh, the Green Dragon Legion...... You are ......"

"It's a pity that we can't express our gratitude right now, but I'm sure we'll meet again in the near future, young hero......" The female voice said more and more (harmoniously) ethereal, as if it were an auditory hallucination.

Edlan opens his eyes and discovers an unfamiliar ceiling, and as the various organs of his body function again, he finds himself very weak. The dream just now didn't look like a dream, it was a little strange, and the woman in the dream said that the hero was herself? Inexplicable? However, she meant that she had reached the hero level due to the superposition of her previous state of vengeful rage?

"Are you awake?"

It seems that the movement made by Adelan's attempt to get up alarmed the people who were guarding the side, this time it was a male voice full of vicissitudes, and when Adelan looked in the direction of the voice, his pupils shrank sharply......

For he saw a black crow perched by the window of this room.

"Hehe, look at your eyes, you know me, and you know what I did. The crow jumped in lightly and landed on the bedside table.

Edlan was a little nervous, because the one in front of him was the last human guardian of Azeroth, Medivan, and the power rank was naturally a demigod, which was already the highest rank after the Titan, a true god. And even if it doesn't matter what his rank is, the person in front of him represents a legend.

"Don't be nervous, while I'm curious about how you managed to travel through the astral plane and timeline without being hunted by the Bronze Dragon, there's not much time left to discuss that right now. The crow paced a few steps around the table very humanely, "You know what I'm here for, right?"

"Uh...... Are you persuading me to lead some of the people to Kalimdor?" Edlan tried to reply.

"It's certainly a possibility, but it has people who are more suitable, and it's already being done. However, if you want to get involved, you can't do it, but ...... Frankly, your presence has upset a lot of variables, and I can't see how the future will change on this timeline. ”

"But, Lord Guardian, didn't I do anything change......?

"No, kid, I'm not a Guardian anymore, he died a long time ago...... So you're doing a lot better than I am. Where you don't notice, you've changed the world, it's just that these changes need to be accumulated and fermented, and they don't happen overnight. ”

“...... I know, I know, but I'm just an ordinary human being, and it's frustrating to see the tragedy happening in front of me and be powerless to do anything about it. ”

"That's right, kid, you're just a normal human being, so that's the limitation, so that's why you're doing well enough, no one can criticize you for anything, not even yourself, that's not what you can do right now. ”

"Then if I go to seek the right power, can I change it?"

"You mean the artifacts?"

"Well, there are three buried in the Tirisfara woodlands, and I think you know that. ”

The black crow looked at it as carefully as if it were looking at the young human in front of him, "No, kid, you can't control the artifact now, let alone break through the barrier there, the evil energy there will tear you apart, and those who can resist it must at least reach the hero level." Although you have temporarily touched the threshold of the hero level by relying on some external forces and your own efforts, you can't really compare with those old heroes now, so let's die this heart first, your idea is very good, but this still can't change the fate of that impulsive prince. ”

Seeing that Adlane was silent, Medivan Crow was not annoyed, and it flew back to the window, "The development of this timeline may be interesting or dark, it is all up to you, so I am interested in its future development...... No, you don't have to ask me what to do in the future, just do what you think, and I'll pay attention to you, young brave. ”

With that, the black crow spread its wings and flew away.

Adlane didn't know what the chain reaction would be after being secretly observed by the big guy Medivan, he actually thought that he should not unlock some plug-ins for the protagonist when such a character like the "Great Sage" appeared, but advised him not to fight those artifacts, because he was not qualified enough...... Myself?

Edrán seems to have a flash of inspiration, he is not qualified, what about the old guys? Uther, Tirio! These two big guys have never had a really powerful weapon, and old Mograine must be the Ember Bringer, and the other two ...... It seems to be a play!

Excited, Adelan wanted to prop up his body, but as soon as he exerted himself, he lay down again due to lack of stamina, but this time it also alarmed the people waiting outside the door, the door opened, and a shadow that jumped up directly scared Edlan.

"Great! You're alright! You're finally awake!"

"Bridget?" When Edlan saw Bridget, who looked up and was crying a little bit, his nunu mouth finally had to say, "Uh, long time no see?"

"Poof, it's been a long time~"

The girl's mind couldn't be understood, maybe she saw that she woke up and finally put her mind at ease, or maybe she saw that he was okay, so she laughed?

"Ahem!"

Bridget's pretty face flushed, and quickly left Adelan's body, which made the latter feel a little stunned, unconsciously, the girl who once had a good impression of him has grown to the extent that it is difficult to grasp it with one hand, from the unusually comfortable warmth and softness back to reality, Adelan saw that it was Bridget's father, General Alfred, his face was a little stiff, quite a feeling of being caught and raped by the woman's parents.

"Uh, old general, hello ......"

"Shut up, stinky boy, the old man is still young!"

Alfred's voice was loud, and the soldiers standing guard outside the hall downstairs heard it, and they looked at each other and smiled, as if to say that they didn't know which guy had the general again, and there would be a good show later.

"Father!" Bridget's coquettishness made the middle-aged uncle's heart soften.

It's been a long time since I've seen my daughter put on such a posture, and I really miss it, but I actually let this bastard see it! No, my daughter must not be handed over to him like this! Thinking of this, Alfred made a straight face, "Bridget, you go out, I have something to say to him." ”

Edlan, who had offended Alfred somewhere, looked confused, and from the time he came in until now, the other party had not looked at him well. But the other party can be regarded as an elder who cares about his growth, and let this uncle see what he has to say.

As soon as Bridget went out, Edlan immediately changed the subject, he didn't want to be treated like an unknown bastard sneaking up on something strange in pursuit of his daughter, so he asked, "Am I at the hands of Tyr?"

"Well, you've been in a coma for half a month. ”

When Edlan heard this, it was over, what should he do if Arthas had already run away? But he still had a little hope and asked, "What about the Alsace? What about the battle outside?"

Speaking of this, Alfred also sighed lightly, "His Royal Highness the Prince is clamoring for revenge for Stratholme, and also for Andohar...... Your breath was weak at that time, so he also shouted to avenge you, and then he took a troop and a fleet with him to Northrend......"

Edlan's eyes darkened, he didn't know what his situation was at the time, but now that he came to his senses, he could feel that his body was recovering, and obviously, after using Vengeful Fury, after touching the threshold of a higher position, he consciously thought that he was already comparable to a high-ranking paladin.

This is already the high-level combat power among the paladins at this point in time, and the top ones are nothing more than those hero-level old guys, and there are not many high-level paladins left, and they are also older, such as the Alfred general in front of him.

Ignoring Edlan's gloomy eyes, Alfred continued, "...... As for the battle, it is strange to say that the undead in the Andorhar region are not so aggressive, as are Stratholme's, Uther and Dasohan are leading the team to deal with the enemy on both sides, Alessandros has gone to Ironforge, and Garissus is gathering strength to start a counteroffensive. ”

"What about Ms. Proudmoore?"

"She?The mage lady doesn't know what kind of demon she has, after a night of secret conversation with His Royal Highness the Prince, it is said that she broke up unhappily, recently I heard that she is persuading Her Majesty to follow her across the ocean to the western continent to open up the wasteland, what a naïve girl, the hills of Hillsbrad are fully capable of feeding our people, but Your Majesty does not know how to agree to her nonsense behavior, I heard that many refugees have begun to move to Nanhai Town and are waiting to board the ship......

By the way, the princess of Kul Tiras originally wanted to choose the port of your territory as the rallying point, but most of the refugees are in the south, and the port of your territory is still under repair, so she didn't choose it, but it's okay, you don't want to get too close to her, because of her relationship with His Royal Highness...... Our relationship with Kul Tiras is complicated. ”

After listening to this, Adlane felt that nothing had changed, Arthas went to Northrend, and the natural disaster of Lordaeron was symbolically weakened, and several fronts were stabilized, so that everyone had the illusion that the natural disaster could be controlled, and at the same time, old Mograine took the crystal south to Ironforge to prepare to make the Ember Messenger. But in reality, the natural disaster is under control and is only an illusion, as long as Arthas returns with the Frost Sorrow, it will not be a big problem......

Anything that stands in the way of the Scourge will be crushed before the Ember Bringer returns to the Northlands...... It would be the darkest day in all of Northland.

The only thing that can fight against that magic sword is the artifact, so ...... Can't wait!

"General, where is my retinue?"

Faced with Adelan's sudden question, Alfred was stunned for a moment, and then his expression that had just improved turned cold again, "You said that little assassin girl?"

"Oh, no, when is it, can you not think about it, my daughter, I'm asking about that Lafayette, a warrior. ”

Alfred's cheeks are thick, although he doesn't know what his daughter means, but most of them are not good words, "Oh, he, he's out there to help me train recruits, I have to admit that you kid has a good eye, where did you find a high-ranking warrior? ”

It seems that Tirio still hid his hand and did not reveal his identity as a heroic warrior, otherwise it is estimated that regardless of whether he has a disguise or not, these old fellows who are familiar with him will directly recognize him.

"Call him in, I have something to say to him privately. ”

"Well, okay, it's good to know that you're awake, I'll send a few of them a message about you, and I'm sure those old guys will be happy to know the news." With that, Alfred got up and left, "You haven't fully recovered yet, I'll have someone bring you something to eat later." ”

Outside the door, not long after the reluctant Bridget was taken away by her father, a sweaty Tirio strode in, "Are you okay?"

"Well, the body is recovering. ”

"Hahaha, great, I knew that the future warriors of the kingdom would not fall so easily. Tirio was not polite, picked up the glass and poured himself a few large sips, "What are you looking for me?"

"Before I ask the question, I want to ask you, how far are you as a warrior now, and can you still be the same level as you were as a paladin?"

Under Adelan's solemn gaze, Tirio also sat up straight and listened attentively.

"Well, it's just that the profession has changed, and the strength has not been damaged, and now as a warrior, I can still play the strength of an old hero. ”

That is, the level of a mid-level or high-level hero, it is indeed the top combat power among humans at this stage. "I see, uncle, what do you think of Alsace's trip to Northrend?"

"Huh......? I only think that he is completely asking for his own suffering, and if it were not for the fact that the kingdom no longer has the strength to send troops to chase him back, it is estimated that His Majesty would have sent someone long ago. His strength is not even comparable to yours, and the troops he took away are almost all ordinary soldiers...... When I think of the rumors that the plague was in Northrend, I am very pessimistic about the outcome of his Northern Expedition, but why do you ask this?"

"Like you, I am not optimistic about the Northern Expedition of Arthas, and I must catch up with the messenger sent by His Majesty to contact him to go to Northrend to retrieve him, and you, uncle, I hope that you will listen to me calmly before judging whether you should pursue this power. It was a legend that had been forgotten by many......"

A day later, Tirio was given to Tirio with Edlan's blessing and all the help he could, including his Major suit, storage ring, the last shield of the royal insignia of Lordaeron that Stratholme had obtained after he had driven Malganis away, the Nazrezm pendant, and a cunning ring, including Tib's fiery sword.

Tirio also left the Knights of the Silver Hand of Tyr with a hesitant face, and he will secretly go to the westernmost part of the Tirisfal Glade, to find a lost temple and a lost tomb in a secret woodland surrounded by lofty mountains, the Fall of Tyr...... One of the words he told Adlan before he left was, "If I can't come back in a month, remember to take care of my son Tyran." ”

Three days later, under the care of Vanessa and Bridt's "clumsiness", Edlan's health has initially recovered, and he plans to leave for the royal city to meet with Terenus, hoping to catch the goblin airship that the messenger to Northrend is riding.

In fact, Adlan also has a purpose for this trip, which is to find Uther in the area of Andorhar, tell him the information about the fall of Tyr, and let him go to obtain the artifact Silver Hand, so that even if he has to face Arthas, who has become the king of the Death Knights, Uther will not be killed directly by the magic sword.

As long as Uther does not die, the Knights of the Silver Hand will not split, and thus will not cause the forces to resist the Scourge to be dispersed, and then become the forces of Silver Dawn, the Scarlet Crusaders, and the Brotherhood of Light to fight alone, eventually causing many high-end combat forces to die in vain and become the minions of the Scourge.

And the artifact is a painful thing, Tirio is only a warrior now, so he shouldn't be able to pick up the silver hand, but Domka Slayer Warbreaker, this artifact of weapon warfare is very suitable for him. Therefore, the best user of the Silver Hand Sacred Hammer is Uther, and he is also a person who is good enough to enter that place safely, as Medivan said, and there is no better person than him.

However, to Edlan's regret, on the fourth day of his escape from Tyr, he found and spoke secretly with Uther, who did not believe in the legend and said that he would not have the time to do it, because Uther would lead all the forces in the Andorhar region, including Icewind, to encircle and suppress the undead.

Uther meant that everything seemed normal now, there was no need for anything extraneous, and now was the best time to destroy the undead, rather than seek some ethereal and dangerous artifact.

People are stubborn, and a few cows can't be pulled back, especially for an old hero like Uther, who has been in a high position for a long time, and has not experienced too many setbacks, and always stands on the side of Guangweizheng, a junior like Edlan, and he is also a disciple, he can't be persuaded at all.

On the contrary, Edlan was also taught by Uther to take care of his body quickly, return as soon as possible, take on the duties of a major, and do his best for the kingdom.

King Lordaeron's forces were getting dwindler, especially after another round of defenders from all over the country by Arthas, and now the garrison of the Undead Fortress was unprecedentedly weak, but fortunately, King Terenus issued a new round of orders to fill the hole dug by Arthas from the direction of the royal city and the Silver Pine Forest.

This is also the reason why Uther is worried, soldiers can continue to recruit, but it is impossible for recruits to be useful immediately, and they must be trained in the rear, so he even moved the idea of letting Adelan go directly to be a recruit instructor, but Adelan dispelled Uther's ridiculous idea with his desire to be a messenger to recover Arthas.

The conversation was not very smooth, but Edlan clearly understood how much the once powerful kingdom of Lordaeron had weakened now, first of all, Terenus's stinky chess, spent a huge amount of money on the construction of the orc shelter after the war, and raised this large amount of food but it was useless. It's just a waste of food, so it also makes Quir Sellas no longer have a good face, and it also makes Kurtilas feel unhappy, even Baron Rivendell is distracted because of this, not to mention the Storm Kingdom, which has a blood feud with the orcs......

This made Edlan even wonder if it was some nobleman who deliberately instigated or forced Terenus to make such a ridiculous decision in order to obtain the huge funds for the construction of the asylum.

Then there are the donations that helped restore Stormwind and the donations that helped build the Watchtower...... The investment in the resumption of production after the war, the newly incorporated area of the Alterac Mountains and the Hillsbrad Hills needed to be absorbed and further consolidated with human and financial resources.

Then after surviving the first difficult years, the kingdom of Lordaeron slowly operated for another ten years, and after seeing that everything was back on track and the country began to improve, there was another orc riot, and the sudden cursed sect, nearly two million undead in Andohar and Stratholme in a short period of time, direct or indirect losses, made the kingdom of Lordaeron suddenly broken, and had to recruit more troops to deal with the undead, and there were fewer young people engaged in farming, and money, food, and population were completely declining......

Fighting a war requires money, food, and supplies, all of which require people to farm, do business, and so on in exchange for taxes, and putting more young and strong people into the army will inevitably reduce a lot of taxes, but fighting a war will cost money...... It's a perfect vicious circle.

Edlan sighed, in the original work, the Scourge Legion completely collapsed a originally powerful country with the return of Arthas, not only because the enemy was too strong, but also because the Kingdom of Lordaeron was already a strong commodity in the outside, even without the impetus of Arthas, just by the fermentation of the Cursed Sect, in the end, the Kingdom of Lordaeron would be dragged down by this continuous military campaign......

This is the fate of a vast country, Edlan can only sigh secretly, he no longer thinks that he can change his life against the sky as before, what he can do now is to make changes as much as he can, and hope that this change will become a qualitative leap one day after the amount of change is enough......
