Adran Anaheim, a young and powerful paladin, began to appear frequently in the eyes of Lordaeron's higher-ups with battle reports, and eventually King Terenus promoted him to the rank of major, who had temporarily replaced the seriously injured and comatose Field Marshal Garisus at the outpost of Lordaeron, and led the local troops to stand by for reinforcements.

Since the king already knew through his court mage that his son Arthas had been rescued by Uther, and that the city of Andorhar had not been saved in the end, he didn't want to waste Lordaeron's living forces to take the initiative against the damn undead.

King Terenus made this decision very helplessly, after all, Edlan was an important courtier that he and his old ministers had decided to leave to Arthas in the future, and rewards like this must be done by Arthas himself to maximize the effect.

The Lord is gracious, and the subordinates are loyal.

This is a product of the feudal royal system, and the object of loyalty of people is easy to deviate, so it is ideal for Arthas to personally reward and maintain this relationship between kings and ministers, which is why although Edlan has received such a major feat, the old king promoted him to the more awkward position of major.

According to Edlan's exploits, there would be no problem at all in making him a general.

In the eyes of Terenus and the courtiers, the fall of Andorhar was fatal to the kingdom of Lordaeron, and the scope of the plague spread to several surrounding counties, towns, and villages, and preliminary statistics showed that at least 700,000 undead were about to stir there, while some pessimists felt that the number of 700,000 was too conservative, and that there should be millions of undead in the entire Andorhar region.

And the fall of the Andohar region will completely cut off the territory of the Lordaeron Kingdom in the shape of almost the entire "ten" shape, which is very fatal.

Because the military system of the kingdom of Lordaeron is a bit strange, the most capable of fighting the Knights of the Silver Hand is arranged in the East Keldaron region, and they have to guard against the increasingly large and somewhat disobedient Baron of Stratholme City, and some remnants of trolls, and even General Abydis.

The entire territory of West Lordaeron is left with the army led by Field Marshal Gallethus in the Silverpine Forest and the Tirisfal Woodland, and the orc rebellion that broke out in the south made the West Lordaeron side dispatch a group of elites to follow some of the Silver Hand Knights of Uther to quell the rebellion, which undoubtedly made the already somewhat unbalanced East and West Lordaeron region even more out of balance.

Now, the plague has broken out and Andorhar has fallen, considering the nature of the undead monster and the way the necromancer's evil resurrection and life come to fight, coupled with Garissus's greed for merit, the morale of the troops is low, the morale of the people is unstable, If you let these evil monsters enter the Tirisfal Glade, not to mention the safety of the royal city of Lordaeron, as the core area of the kingdom of Lordaeron, millions of undead will be born here, and even the resurrection of Emperor Soladin will not be able to save the doomed Lordaeron......

Then, at this time, Edlan, who stood up and led the remnants of the army to block the undead's attack on the Tirisfal Glade, and stabilized the morale of the army, was very eye-catching. So Terenus and the old ministers counted it out, good guy, this Adlan has simply "saved" the kingdom of Lordaeron, so even if he is directly a general, he can completely convince the public.

On Edlan's side, he didn't know what his performance was in the eyes of the old king and his courtiers, he just made a relatively reasonable response based on the "historical facts", the undead were under the control of a certain will at this time, as long as the human defenders of the Tirisfal Glade did not take the initiative to provoke them, they would not attack with a large army.

Of course, to do a full set of acts, the necessary attack and containment are also essential, but such a painless attack, after Edlan ordered to use a defensive formation to consume a certain number of enemies, the undead retreated as if they were weak in follow-up. This is equivalent to invisibly, the undead natural disaster helps him, a traverser, to brush up on his war exploits, but he himself just thinks that this is the purpose of the undead.

Therefore, when he received the commendation order and the full set of rewards issued by Terenus himself, he was a little confused, and he didn't know how he was rewarded, but after he saw the Alliance-standard plate armor-style major suit, he was greedy.

Covered in gold plate armor, the helmet is an open-faced winged helmet, the right shoulder is shaped in the shape of an eagle, and the left shoulder guard is decorated with a white ribbon with the Lordaeron emblem and the Silver Hand emblem engraved on the two shoulder buckles. Although the iron gloves are not conjoined, this does not affect the safety of the elbow joint wrapped in the built-in chain mail. Also for the sake of aesthetics, two white ribbons were wrapped around the plate armor of the leggings as embellishments, which extended from the direction of the little brother and then wrapped around the waist and fixed by the belt, which made Edlan a little crying and laughing.

The Major's Barrier, this is the full name of this set of standard equipment, this is also the first time that Edlan has been rewarded with equipment in a set since he crossed over, although he doesn't know if this realistic Azeroth suit has any additional effects, but when he puts it on, he still feels a little different.

As if the court enchanter carefully added some magic seal carvings to this set of equipment, some enchantment effects were added, which can improve some of the wearer's abilities. For example, in this set, Edlan sensed that all parts were very light after wearing it, without the bulkiness of plate armor, which made the user more dexterous and helpful for attack and defense, and used a special enchantment technique on the eyepatch of the wing helmet, which was made into a "barrier" that emitted a light blue halo similar to a "glass", which was effective in protecting and shielding some illusions, which was really excellent.

Satisfied, after accepting the king's reward, the new officer, Major Edlan, changed the name of the original Lordaeron outpost to the Undead Fortress, meaning that this is the place where the undead will be blocked, and more and more people began to call this place in his dictation.

Then, with the consent of the royal family and appropriation, he transferred the Brotherhood of Stonemasons and began to build a strong pass for the place that had been originally just an outpost. And the epoch-making building material cement also appeared in the eyes of the public in Azeroth for the first time.

The barrier of the undead was built at an unbelievable speed, at first with a large number of workers and auxiliaries digging the foundation and building the frame it was similar to a traditional engineering project, but after this kind of cement, which the Brotherhood of Masons called the first generation, was poured into the mold and poured into the frame, it only needed to be fixed a little on the periphery, and these magical things had already begun to set in two hours, and after this day, in the eyes of everyone's dumbfounded eyes, the cement had completely solidified!

The six-meter-high, hundred-meter-wide pass was built on a hill by Edlan's orders to be completed in just 10 days, nine of which were spent preparing the groundwork, and the last day the Brotherhood of Stonemasons showed the birth of a new material that seemed to be magical.

This caused King Terenus of "Dragon's Beauty" to personally reward the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, which made Edwin and Barons feel that they had finally come to an end, and that their despised stonemasons had finally been truly recognized.

But in Edlan's opinion, Terenus's happiness is not only for the fact that Lordanren has such an additional organization that can build a city.

Because of the feudal royal power and the feudal aristocracy, the undead fortress was a strategic point like a choke point, and before he built the pass, it was just a so-called sentry on the scale of an open-air military camp. Why is that?

As far as Adelan's own guess is concerned, it should be that the Wang family, in order to show their confidence in the real power vassals in the Eastern Lordaeron region, specially acted like this, in order to show that they are not defensive and treat everyone openly. This is different from the centralized system in the ancient Celestial Empire, the emperor is eager to build all the places where the pass can be built, and send heavy troops, for fear that his centralized power will be reversed by the big nobles and big landlords below.

So this made King Terenus, who was already not very confident about Stantolme, a baron with real power who was getting bigger and bigger, but who was not easy to open his mouth to repair the pass, finally got a good opportunity to build the pass in the name of justice, right?

On the other side, after rescuing Arthas, Uther wanted to break through in the direction of the royal city, but driven by some force, those undead simply told Uther with practical actions that "going west is a dead end, and only going east can there be a way to live", so Uther had to take his men to escort Arthas to break through to the eastern Keldaron region.

Later, after receiving the information that the undead were wreaking havoc, and without Uther's orders, the Grand Lord Mograine, the Great General Abydis, Saidan Dasohan and others had already led their respective Silver Hand Knights and subordinate troops to dispatch, and they quickly rushed to the east of the Daronmere Bridge to set up defenses, and received the breakthrough of Uther, and stopped the undead army's attempt to advance eastward, winning a little precious respite for the East Lordaeron region......

But no one could have predicted what would happen to the two potential and definite enemies when the Knights of the Silver Hand and the troops originally garrisoned by Eastern Lordaeron were drawn in large numbers to defend against the undead attack, and after the effective monitoring and defense of Stratholme and Zumashal were lost......

On the other hand, after discovering that the Andohar region had become a land of death, the Valley of the Hearth also sent a large army to guard the mountain pass near the North Mountain Lumber Yard, preventing the undead from crossing the Thunder Pool.

At the same time, in the direction of Icewind Hills, the army that was originally used to deal with the riotous orcs has now been withdrawn, led by the fifth generation paladin Gavinrad Doom, who is desperately blocking the undead's southward movement.

Gavinrad Doom's name is relatively unfamiliar, but he is the deputy head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, second only to Uther's existence. If it weren't for the fact that more of the Lordaeron people were killed in battle to save the undead of the Alsace commander, I am afraid that future generations would have heard more about the prestige of this paladin.

So, on the surface, the spread of the undead scourge raging in the Andohar region seemed to have been effectively controlled under the pincer of the four directions, but almost no one in Lordaeron could have expected that this was just an appetizer for an earth-shattering conspiracy......

......

Ten days later, in the renamed Undead Fortress.

"You nonsense!" said Marshal Garithar angrily, glaring at the young major who had kept the undead fortress like an iron bucket during his mortally wounded coma, and though he was jealous, the young man had done a really good job.

Although Gallisus is reckless and arrogant, he is a complete patriot. So, when he heard Edlan say that he wanted to take his cavalry through the undead army to Eastern Keldaron to meet the Prince of Arthas, he was furious. He was not angry at this young man who didn't know what to do, but angry at him for not caring for his own life!

Gallishas's life was saved by him, this stubborn middle-aged man came to his senses and insisted on returning to the undead fortress to sit in peace of mind, even King Terenus couldn't persuade him, so he had to let the marshal come here with an injury, but the old king in order to prevent conflicts between the upstarts and the old ministers, he specially issued an order to let Gallisus supervise the battle here as a supervisor, and not to interfere in specific combat missions, of course, Gallisus did not choose to go at such a time to pick peaches.

Edlan also knew that Gallissus was a patriot, and he loved his homeland Lordaeron immensely, but this did not prevent Adelan from still having a bad opinion of him, but since he was here, it would be better to leave the defense of this place to him, otherwise a marshal would be a major as a prisoner?

There are some things that the king is inconvenient to speak, but the people below must know what they should do, and at this time, it is the best choice to take the initiative to "abdicate and make way for the virtuous", at least it will not be embarrassed by the old king when he "sues the emperor" after a conflict in the future.

Besides, the important thing is that since the connection with the East Lordaeron region has been completely severed, a team is indeed needed to open a road, or to explore a road that is still passable, so that the two places can exchange letters and maintain the centripetal force of the kingdom, otherwise what is the matter of relying on those palace mages to communicate alone? Not to mention whether the mana of those mages can withstand such a short period of tossing back and forth, just letting the mages be "heralds" has already made those arrogant mages lose their jobs.

Therefore, once or twice or if there is an emergency that needs to be contacted urgently, if you really treat the mage as a herald, it is estimated that they will turn around and go back to Dalaran the next day.

Therefore, being able to open a road is a good thing for Lordaeron, and it is also a good thing for him Adelan to want to change "history", because he doesn't know when Arthas was seduced by Kel'thugad to go to Stratholme, which is the crossroads of the fate of Arthas, and even the whole of Lordaeron......

"Really?" Edlan looked coldly at the marshal who was so excited that the wounds on his body cracked, and then he casually gave him a "milk", and said: "Then I order you in the name of the supreme commander of the undead fortress, the overseer Gallisus, from now on, after I, Edlan leaves the undead fortress, you will be fully responsible for the command of the place, there must be no mistake!"

"You!" said Garissus, speechless, for he did not understand what the young man was going to risk his own doing, for how long had it been since the bloody fact that he had not heeded his own advice, and was he not at all worried about repeating the mistakes of the past?

"Don't worry, I've already traveled before you came, close to the north, and if you go along the foot of the mountain, you will rarely encounter the undead, but in front of the Daronmere Bridge, there are a lot of undead, and I can't get there, it's a place where no matter how many soldiers we send, we can't beat it. ”

"And you're still there?"

"The Cave of Crying knows, there's a tunnel north of the Sodoril River that leads to Stratholme, but the situation inside may be dangerous right now, or you can go straight to Mareth's farm directly from the shallows around the Daron Mill Bridge, and the rest of the Mentor Luutel and the guys of the Knights of the Silver Hand will be able to pick me up. ”

Hearing Edlan's reasoning, Garissus also relaxed a little, and said seriously: "I know you want to get better communication between the two major legions of the kingdom, but this kind of thing is left to the scouts to do, what are you doing as a field commander?"

"Arthas is not only my future king, he is my friend, Lord Marshal. With an ugly smile, Edlan turned away from the room, which was still brand new and smelled of new architecture.

Edlan had his purpose, at the foot of the hill opposite the Cave of Weeping, where the first paladin Tirio Fortin, the first paladin, lived in seclusion, and was also the father of Tyran Fortin, although he was deprived of the power of the Light and was exiled as a traitor, it is undeniable that this powerful paladin is in the "Hereafter" The impact was so great that he stood up in the most difficult of times, united all the forces that resisted the undead and re-formed the Silver Northern Expedition, and finally cut off the sorrow of the demon sword Frost with the holy sword Ember Bringer in the Battle of the Icecrown Throne, bringing the fall of the Lich King to an end.

There's a lot to say about Tirio's deeds, and the famous "Love and Family" mission is also closely related to him, so in order to change the fate of a certain prince, in order to change the fate of Lordaeron, Edlan feels that he must meet this legendary hero of the future, the current old man in his twilight......

And Edlan has a second purpose, the owner of Mareth's farm is called Nathanos Mares, this one is also a famous guy in "history", he is the only Ranger Lord in the entire human world who has been recognized by the High Elves, is a disciple of Sylvanas Windranger, and has been recognized by those high elves with eyes above the top as a human being, Nathanos's achievements are unimaginable.

With the achievement of this only Ranger Lord of mankind, he could have been erected like those heroes in the "Hereafter" to be erected a huge statue at the gate of a certain royal city for posterity to admire.

But a merciless plague destroyed it all, and Nathanos, despite his excellence, did not last long. Because after the fall of Stratholme, Alsace returned from the northern expedition to kill his father, Lordaeron was in turmoil, and the entire undead disaster swept through the once great country. As towns are destroyed one by one by the scourge, Nathanos stands on the small farm he calls home, ready for the swarm. Despite his training, despite his heroic fearlessness, he failed in defending his beloved homeland, and when he was exhausted, he was killed by a huge abomination, Swallower Ramsden, who was nearly 8 meters tall. And when he woke up, he had become the most disgusting thing in front of him, the undead scourge.

The rest of the story is easy to tell, he, like Sylvanas, after Illidan bombarded the Frozen Throne with the Eye of Sargeras, the Lich King's power was greatly reduced, which caused many undead to break free from the Lich King's control and regain their consciousness, but there is no doubt that they are still the living dead, so he fought for his queen again at the call of the Banshee King Sylvanas, and became the Nathanos Wither, who feared countless living people.

So, for Adlan, it's a shame that such a human hero turned into an undead scourge, and he deserves a better ending. So, the second purpose of this operation, Adelan wants to visit this Hero Ranger Lord, who is already a very powerful hero.

Edlan had barely taken a few steps out of the door when he felt someone in the shadows peeping at him, and then he noticed that it was something he was familiar with. "Well, eavesdropping isn't a good habit, Vanessa. ”

There was a soft sound of "buzz-" beside Adelan, and a girl wearing a tight leather armor that set off her bumpy and pretty figure even more glamorously appeared in place, which made Adelan's eyes stare at some protruding parts a few more times.

Of course, it would be better if she didn't have a cold face that looked like everyone owed her hundreds of gold.

"Father asked me to follow you. Vanessa spoke to everyone like this, concisely and never much. Not even Adelane had ever seen her talk to anyone else, except that she could maintain some expression in front of her father, and she even thought she was facial paralyzed to outsiders.

"He knew it was going to be dangerous. "Adlan didn't lie, after the Brotherhood of Stonemasons completed their mission, he returned to Anaheim to continue the construction of his port, and the all-stone harbor was also very laborious, and it was built in a half-expansion, half-operational, which also made the final completion of the port take a long time. Moreover, Edwin still has the work of the Consulate of the Territory to be busy, and he came here mainly because he was not worried that the Brotherhood of Stonemasons would take over the work of the royal family for the first time on the land of another country, so he came to sit down, and found that his old buddy Barons was better than he expected, so he was very relieved to go back early.

However, Edwin was determined to bring his daughter out and ask her to follow Edlan, because he found that in the Anaheim Chapel, although Lisa Whitemane was a very powerful priest, his daughter Vanessa did not seem to be able to get along with each other very well, which led him to think that her Holy Light practice would be delayed, so Edwin, who loved his daughter, left his daughter here and handed it over to Adelan.

"I can go back if you don't need to, but you have to make it clear to my father. ”

Edlan pinched his brow, "Well, I need a powerful scout too." ”

P.S1: The sound sounds, "Vanessa Van Cleef joins the team".
