Adlan returned to the territory he felt had been absent for a long time, but he had returned from a mission, and he had successfully negotiated with King Terenus for a messenger mission to Northrend to inform Arthas of the army. He is now returning to the territory for the sake of waiting for the goblin airship, and secondly, to explain the direction of development for the next period of time.

The military side asked Marcus and those veterans to start training the militia more, whether there is a shortage of food, weapons and equipment, and military supplies, buy and buy, hoard more, and then strengthen the city defense, and use all the money that can be used, anyway, Edlan is not short of this money. If Adelan can't stop Arthas from becoming a slave of Frost Sorrow, then tragedy will also happen, so there will be money or something to do, and only military supplies such as food, weapons and equipment, and ore will be hard currency.

In terms of political affairs, Adlane quietly explained to Edwin Van Cleeff that if a large number of refugees flee over, don't be stingy, take them in directly, this is backed by the Holy Light Monastery, and some are "well-wishers", as long as you manage those refugees well, you must not be kind to women, let them work in exchange for food, this is an iron law.

In the end, Adelan left Vanessa behind, and the trip to the North Pole was no joke, and despite Vanessa's strength, he really couldn't think of a reason to take her on an adventure. Similarly, Lisa Whitemayne was "convinced" by Adlane to stay at the chapel in Anaheim.

For this reason, Adelan lost his first kiss, which shows the great effort, this good thing was seen by Vanessa who happened (sneaking) by, the latter had a poisonous tongue, and later Adelan said sourly before leaving, "What a sinful man, the eldest lady of Tyre's hand has also been eaten and wiped clean by you, and now he finally begins to attack the neighbor's cabbage......"

Similarly, Edlan paid the price of her first kiss in exchange for Lisa's unconditional trust, promising that if anything happened to Arthas when she returned, she would activate the amplification circles that had been placed throughout the city, and send a group of monks and priests from the monastery to maintain this large holy light protection spell that could envelop the entire city.

But I have to say that Lisa is indeed the kind of person who is favored by the Holy Light, and her priesthood has grown stronger and stronger, strong enough that she gave up the idea of becoming a paladin and devoted herself to the profession of priest, and she also reached the position of a high-level priest by relying on daily meditation, penance, and spell development almost by herself without any actual combat experience.

This is much better and more consolidated than some of Adelan's cheating methods to become a high-ranking paladin. Edlan's power level is not too stable now, so he wants to go further to the hero level, and he feels that it is too difficult to accumulate without three or five years.

Then, under Edlan's astonished gaze, Tirio returned a few days early, just in time for the Goblin Airship to be on this trip to the North Pole......

Goblin airships, this wonderful and very convenient large-scale vehicle and construction technology, has always been in the hands of a group of mercenary, wall-like goblins, this existence in the human world under the rule of the feudal king, at least in Edlan's opinion, is extremely ...... Irrational. Not to mention the series of flying vehicles that the "later generations" gnomes have freed up their hands to build for the Alliance, at this point in time, in Lordaeron, which experienced the pain of World War II, no one in the most powerful and wealthy kingdom realizes the importance of air supremacy?

During the Second Orc War, the Hot Sand Consortium joined the tribe of orcs and trolls for economic purposes, providing them with large-scale fast airship transportation services, which was a very deadly threat to the Alliance. Fortunately, the Seven-Nation Alliance worked together, and Anduin Lothar, Ronin and others turned the tide, and after paying heavy sacrifices, they finally won the war.

After World War II, which ended in the defeat of the Horde, the Hot Sand Consortium declared neutrality from the Horde, which allowed the Alliance to rent goblin airships for their own service, and later in "History", when Thrall arrived in Kalimdor with the new Horde, he found that the terrain was really ...... made everyone feel at a loss, so the big business of the hot sand consortium came to the door again.

Now, Edlan stood on the side of the airship named Biggill in a thick tweed coat, and the colder weather made him feel the chill of Northrend in advance.

"If memory serves, this Biggill should be the one that crashed in the Dust Swamp in the future, right?" Edlan whispered in the wind and snow.

"Hey, distinguished guest, have you come out to see the sea again? Bigil, who was the captain and helmsman and maintenance engineer and material keeper and airship security guard, came to Edlan's side, he jumped lightly, stood firmly on a wooden box, put his four fingers on the fence, he only glanced down, and after seeing the sea at a height of several hundred meters that was gradually becoming a little bit of ice, he shrank his head back in a trembling way.

"Bigil, are you sure that after you leave the control room, the airship won't let out another exclamation that will make me want to deduct some of the travel expenses, as it did last time?" That being said, Edlan didn't panic, at least in the original history, the messenger carrying the royal family of Lordaeron had arrived at the camp in Alsace on the Dragonbone Wastes without any problems. So despite the fact that now on the journey, because of certain ...... of this goblin Laziness led to some unpleasant things happening, but the 7-day trip went smoothly so far.

"Oh, my God, distinguished guest, you are joking at such a high level, and I suddenly remembered that there was still work to be done, so I was out of company here. The short, greenskinned man, who was only up to the thighs of an adult, bowed to Edlan's body and immediately returned to his control room.

Edlan chuckled, then he took out the Silver Hand of the Hammer from the storage ring, and after his daily paladin meditation, he tried to continue communicating with the artifact, but there was still no response. The most notable manifestation is that this artifact is still only in its initial state, a boxy fist-shaped long stick, and two hammer blades at the top embellished with divergent golden lines, which are not sharp at all, and the overall appearance is not quite consistent with the beauty of heavy blunt weapons.

The hammer was brought out by Tirio anyway.

It has to be said that after Tirio went to Tyre's Fall alone, in the face of those vicious whispers and the frantic attacks of the servants of the Old God, he actually retreated, not only successfully obtained the Sdomka Warbreaker, but also obtained the Silver Hand of the Holy Hammer! When Tirio reappeared in Anaheim City with two artifacts to find Edlan, who was waiting for the arrival of the goblin airship, the latter's big teeth were almost shocked.

Moreover, the form of the Sdomka Slayer is not the original form when it was used by Soladin the Great, but has taken the form of the Sky Warrior's Blade, which is the embodiment of the artifact's mastery.

In Tirio's words, "At that time, it and the soul of Soladin the Great didn't care whether I wanted to reawaken the power of the Light, and when I pulled out the sword, it became like this, and the soul of the Great was very satisfied, I ...... It's very difficult. ”

Edlan complained in his heart at the time, embarrassed by the ghost, such a strong old god servant Corruptor Zakhaz, although it was suppressed by the soul of Soladin the Great and the Domka Slayer artifact for thousands of years, causing it to wake up very weak, and Edlan recalled the information of this ancient god servant race named Krasis as much as possible, but Tirio still showed his super strength when he faced this monster for the first time, and he cooperated seamlessly with the artifact, and killed this monster in a few rounds.

Isn't this what the protagonist template is?

But according to Tirio, the monster was not the most terrifying, but the dagger that kept tempting him with whispers to pick it up, full of darkness and evil.

As soon as Adlan heard it, it was the Blade of the Dark Empire of Saratas, which had a mind of its own, and it was itself the remains of an ancient god with terrifying ancient powers, and its present life would always drive someone or something into madness, and terrifying rituals or disasters would follow.

At that time, Tirio recalled with palpitations and said to Edlan, "If it weren't for the Emperor's soul protection, I'm afraid I would have held that dagger in my hand." However, when I picked up the Silver Hand Hammer, the whispers in my ears were completely gone. ”

For this reason, Edlan had to sigh that Tirio was worthy of being one of the chosen ones, and he inadvertently did what ordinary people would not dare to think. After possessing an artifact, he received the help of another artifact, which neutralized the whispering, and at the same time triggered the mechanism left by the Fall Builders of Tyr, teleporting the only living person away, and the entire dungeon was flooded and collapsed, and the mountain above collapsed in an instant, and with the help of the power of Azeroth's nature, the evil buried here was completely sealed.

The dagger of the Dark Empire's Blade and the Twilight's Hammer are also searching, but now it seems that even if they find it, they will not be able to easily clear the ruins left by the destructive power of the lake connecting the underground veins of Lake Lordamere and the collapse of several mountains, unless the guardian of the earth, the Black Dragon King Nesario, personally uses his power to quickly clean up this place.

However, if Nesario reappears in Azeroth and uses his powers, I'm afraid the other four dragon kings won't sit idly by anymore, and the feud of the ancient war ten thousand years ago is not so easy to forget.

So, after Tirio seemed to be possessed by the protagonist's aura, he brought out the Silver Hand of the Holy Hammer, but because Emperor Soladin had already recognized Tirio first, this made this Holy Hammer still not have a suitable user, it is just like an ordinary weapon, only has a physical effect, and cannot have any bonus to the user, even after Tirio tried it for Edlan.

Originally, the two of them were thinking about sending the Holy Hammer to Uther, but at this time, the goblin airship came, and Edlan decided to leave immediately, and Tirio also wanted to do what he could for the kingdom, so he chose to follow Adelan to Northrend, after all, his existence has not yet been made public, and Tirio's identity as a dead soldier will only cause chaos to the country now, so he can only continue to do something secretly to benefit the country.

"Yo, Edlan, you're here. This time it was Tirio who was carrying the Sky Warrior's Blade on his back, and now this uncle still maintained the disguise given to him by Vanessa, but he clearly felt that he was being changed by the rough, brave and heroic character of Emperor Soladin, which made Adelan extremely uncomfortable at first, and even thought that it was the dwarven prince Muradin Copperbeard who had taught Arthas, and not the first old paladin Tirio......

"It's not comfortable to be stuffy in the cabin for too long, come out and get some fresh air. ”

"Yes, there are still 3 days to go, and this broken airship doesn't even have a place to move your muscles. Tirio casually did a few chest expansion exercises, then glanced at the silver hand in Edlan's hand, "This holy hammer...... Well, it still doesn't work. ”

"Well, I can't connect with it, whether I'm infusing it or communicating with meditation, and there's no feedback other than the first time I respond to me that I'm not special enough. ”

Tirio touched his chin and beard, "It seems that you have to be at least a hero level to wield the power of an artifact?"

"Maybe, but I always think there may be the artifact's own reasons, right? Maybe it's because it's too bad with me or something?"

"Perhaps...... But then again, how are you going to convince Arthas? I don't think he would have followed the king's orders to return, and if he had been obedient, he wouldn't have taken the army that was going to reinforce the undead fortress and some noble troops in the name of the prince. ”

The two talked about Arthas, and the atmosphere was a little not good, and Edran didn't know what to do, the worst plan was to stun the kid and bring Muradin back with him by the way, lest Neozu temporarily decide to change to a dwarf to become the king of the Death Knights.

After all, Marganis still remembered Adelan's whispers, and he didn't want the others he could save to be on the move.

"I don't know, let's take one step at a time, it's really not okay to knock him out and bring him back. ”

"Hahaha!" Tirio laughed heartily and patted Adlane on the shoulder, "It's to my taste, so let's do it!"

Is it good or bad for a paladin's personality to become more and more like a weapon battle? Edlan didn't think so much about how the fate of Tirio, the legendary hero, would affect Azeroth in the future because of his indiscriminate intrusion, and he was only thinking about how to bring his friend back to Lordaeron safely......

......

In this way, the boring and boring 7-day journey was over, and after settling half of the payment, Edlan gave Billier a few days off, and the latter immediately said that he was going to the Solazar Basin to find his companions, and by the way, to repair the airship, and the two sides agreed to return in 10 days.

With his feet on the slightly soft snow, Edlan had already taken off his tweed coat and changed into a major suit early, putting on the coat of Lordaeron's insignia, and in the face of the bitter cold, he warmed his body with holy light. And a guy like Tirio who has already entered the hero level has no such concerns, and when he reaches his level of strength, the heat and cold of nature will not affect him in general.

When the two disembarked from the airship, the patrol on the coast quickly spotted them, and although these soldiers were not directly involved in the battle against the undead in Lordaeron itself, they fought no less vicious battles in Northrend than the Knights of the Silver Hand. So the patrolmen recognized at once that these two were alive, and that the first one was holding the messenger's scepter given by His Majesty the Kingdom.

Edlan also clearly realized that this army was not undead, and Arthas was still saved. After revealing their identities, Adlan and Tirio are welcomed into the camp, where the temperature of the campfire and the smell of boiled meat dazzle the eyes of the two after a long journey.

In charge of the camp was Adelan's old acquaintance, the most loyal captain of the Alsace guard, Faric.

"Adelan! It's you! Sure enough, a guy like you won't die in Stratholme! It's great to see you in this hellish place!" "Farrick really seemed to be embarrassed for a long time, and when he saw Adelan coming, he gave him a big bear hug.

The wind and snow in Northrend are very cold, but under the cover of the relatively strong camp, under the maintenance of the bonfire and alcohol, the more than 3,000 people brought out by Alsace are still relatively stable, and they have been out for more than a month, and there is no homesickness for the time being, but there are many people who do not understand why His Royal Highness the Prince came to such a cold and snowy place to find the so-called divine sword that can end the disaster of the undead.

Rand also warmly hugged the captain of the guard of His Royal Highness the Prince, "Haha~ My life is not so easy to take, even if it is the Dreaded Demon King!"

"It's good that you're here, Your Highness...... It became more and more extreme, and even his former martial arts instructor Muradin often couldn't listen to it. Faric's eyes darkened.

"Well, it is for this that I have come, and I have brought the will of His Majesty the King to withdraw his troops. Edlan showed the Scepter of the Emissary representing the royal family, "This letter is in good condition, you can check it." ”

"Hey, why do you need to check, I know at a glance, it is indeed the emblem of the Wang family. ”

"What about the Alsatians?" said Edlan, finally to the point.

"Your Highness, he and Mu Ladin have gone to look for the sword, and they have been out for 3 days, and there is no news yet. ”

After listening, Adlane recalled, and couldn't remember many details, so he could only change the topic, "Your ship, I can see it clearly from a few hundred meters in the sky, just stop on the shore and not be afraid of being destroyed by something?"

"We've cleared the area of wild animals and some ferocious beasts, and their flesh has become our military assets, and nothing will pose a threat to the ship. ”

Putting aside the question of whether the ships on which these soldiers were returning were safe, Edlan was right to think about it, Alsace had traveled in such a hurry, had been adrift at sea for so long, and it was estimated that the food and fresh water were almost exhausted, and these beasts killed on this shore could just provide military rations.

"Okay, then I-"

"Knock knock knock bell bell-"

"Enemy attack—enemy attack! The undead are coming—"

Adelan's words were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the camp's alarm bells, several people looked at each other, Farrick immediately went to organize the defense work, while Adelan and Tirio came to the gates of the two camps respectively, where the soldiers were quickly lined up, preparing to form a phalanx to meet the enemy, Adelan did not say a word, and stood in the front position.

Unlike Tirio, who could fight directly with artifacts, Adran was still his old equipment, standing in the second row with his infantry, ready to step forward to guard the dwarven musketeers who were preparing the first salvo.

With Edlan's current strength, his eyesight has improved to a certain extent, allowing him to see the swarm of ghouls running in the distance without the need for an engineering telescope, and a large number of crypt demons following closely behind!

Crypt Demons are large, mummy-like, undead monsters that look like a cross between humanoids and spiders. Six spindle-like arthropods support their massive bodies. The cunning were once inhabitants of the ancient Elo-Nirub Spider Kingdom beneath this snowy plain, but after Neozu was frozen and thrown onto the land, they began to fall and kill each other under the influence of that evil force, and many of the former spider demons have now become accomplices of the undead scourge, including the king of their kingdom, Anubrak.

These ghosts live in the underground of this snowfield all year round, and their origins are no longer known, but Anubarak's strength before and after death can be ranked in the ranks of the epic, and can be compared to the strength of adult dragons. Therefore, it is conceivable that if Nao Zu wants to be real, the troops of about 3,000 people brought by Arthas are completely to bring food to people, how can he still be so calmly hunting and exploring on this continent of the base camp of the undead natural disaster.

Of course, this is what Edlan of the Traveler knows, and these ignorant parties still think that they are very lucky to be able to obtain so many military supplies to fill the void in this very harsh environment, and the undead attack looks fierce, but it does not cause much damage to this camp.

This Edlan could see from the calm expressions of the soldiers around him that they were not elites, and this calmness was completely the calmness brought about by the contempt of the enemy, not the calmness after a hundred battles.

This shows that these undead spirits, driven by some higher will, are completely releasing water......
