Mercy is limited after all, but there is no lower limit to preference.

The phenomenon that best illustrates this argument is the children of other people's families and their own children.

Carlos had killed six of his finest horses, and while resting briefly in the last village on the border of the Hillsbrad Hills and the Silver Pine Forest, he received news that the Prince of Alsace had landed.

The prince brought back the Fountain of Immortality for his old king's father.

What about fooling the undead?

There is also the Fountain of Eternal Life, before the Well of Eternity is blown up, licking her face and saying that she is the Fountain of Eternity, Queen Eshara will blush, what good things can Arthas find in the ice and snow of Northrend?

Based on this news alone, Carlos can basically judge that something has happened to Arthas.

But the city of Lordaeron, Terenas. At the end of his life, Minecil II had only his son in his eyes and only eternity in his mind to continue the kingship.

That's right, the old father-in-law, Terenus, did say that there is no eternal word about kingship.

But beautiful things are easy to say, but beautiful things are hard to do.

Gather all the lords to Lordaeron for the crowning of his son.

Is this a door-to-door delivery to give people a pot of serving?

The decision of Terenus, who ran out of oil and lamp, was not stupid, but he was very alone.

The gods are not weak to the alliance of Lordaeron, and after the tragic Second Orc War, the wind and rain have been smooth for eighteen years, and the land of Lordaeron is full of life at this time.

But beauty itself is meant to be cared for and trampled on.

Carlos wants to take care of all this hard-won thing, and the Lich King wants to trample under his feet to spread his might.

None of this is contradictory.

What really made Carlos uncomfortable was Terenus's secret envoy.

It is not uncommon for every king to have secret powers that belong only to him, and Aiden had them back then, and Carlos himself also had them.

The only difference is probably that Terenus's secret envoy is particularly bullish.

"Your Majesty Carlos, King Terenus wants you to stay here for three days."

"Huh?"

"His Majesty does not want you to interfere with the coronation of the Prince of Alsace."

"Look me straight in the eye."

"We know something is wrong with the prince, but the stability of the kingdom is above all else, please understand."

"What if I don't understand?"

"So...... Stop it! ”

The envoys of Terenus tried to put an end to their rebellion in horror, but to no avail.

Because he was himself an assassination target.

Carlos looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully, feeling that the gravity of the situation was beyond his previous estimates.

So, Carlos pulled the messenger and made him avoid the deadly blade.

Carlos had only four attendants, two feeding the horses in the stables, one guarding the door and one guarding the door, and when the four attendants brought by the old father-in-law's envoy broke out, it seemed that the king of Alterac was in a helpless situation.

Then, without even drawing his weapon, Carlos took one hand on the wrist of the envoy and dismantled the four thugs.

Under the light-charged eyes, the shadows were invisible.

"Very well, it seems that you are not one of them."

Carlos let go of the emissary's wrist.

"Your Majesty Terenus has no intention of harming you, I have come here only to bring conditions, not harm, please believe this."

Although the secret envoy is not strong in force, his spirit is still quite tenacious, even if his subordinates do not know whose benefits they have received, and even the safety of their own lives cannot be guaranteed, he has not forgotten his duty.

"Needless to say, I just gave you a chance, and you didn't stab me in the back, which is good, so you can live. Just put away the extra words, clean up the scene, it's time for me to go. ”

"Your Majesty Carlos, the ...... given by Your Majesty Terenus"

Carlos looked at the envoy with stern eyes, and he understood that words were useless.

"Your Majesty Carlos, please be careful."

With a wave of his hand, Carlos set out on his journey once more.

It was just a little episode, and all that was lifted was a little bit of the skirt of the Cursed Sect.

Carlos certainly didn't have a delusional idea of Tirio. Fording and the Silver Dawn's 1,800 men will be able to eradicate Naozu's minions from within the Alliance.

But even the power that directly serves Terenus is out of order.

It's a race against time.

Judging from the information gathered, Arthas did not rush back to Lordaeron, but first sent an emissary to report the good news to his father.

Then, in order to welcome its future master, the kingdom of Lordaeron prepared to welcome Alsace with a grand triumphal ceremony.

It's so good that Carlos knows why on his knees.

Old Fordin's sweeps in the Valley of the Hearth and Stratholm were not without effect, and the spread of the Scourge was indeed greatly contained by the activation of the Silver Dawn.

So the Lich King is ready to take the thrill to the end.

At the triumphal ceremony to welcome Arthas, all the heads and brains of the kingdom of Lordaeron were gassed, and the picture was beautiful......

Because Arthas's plan took time, and the land snakes from all over the kingdom of Lordaeron needed to gather in the royal city, all his movements seemed slow after landing from the port.

This gave Carlos time to hurry.

Alterac's army is pinned down by the orcs in the Arathi region, and unless Carlos can kick through Gilne's walls and convince Greymane to send an army, he will have to follow Lordan's principle of doing Lordanron's business.

So he had to get into the city before Alsace, and he had to give himself enough time to tandem.

"Your Majesty......"

Once inside the Silver Pine Forest, everything went bad, the roads were clogged with giant trees and rubble, the bodies of cattle and sheep were floating in the water, and the guards and horses of the changing horses were slaughtered.

There is no doubt that someone is targeting Carlos.

"It's too late, I can't get to Lordaeron faster than Alsace without the horses to change."

Carlos let out a long sigh.

"Let's turn back, go back to Alterac and prepare for battle."

From the frozen throne, Neozu gazed at Carlos' figure, emitting a soul-like pleasure.

With the smallest chips in exchange for the biggest results, the Lich King is simply too high.

One day, the grand ceremony will begin, and who will stop it from ruling the world?!

Naozu no longer pays attention to Carlos. Barov, instead focused his attention on Alsace.

After all, peeping at a character of Carlos' level is also very energy-consuming.

So, Naozu didn't notice that Carlos's resolute expression hadn't changed at all because of the setback.

"Your Majesty, in this direction?"

The attendants asked in confusion.

"Go see an old friend."

“……”

Carlos did not choose to return to Hillsbrad and then to Talenmere back to Alterac, nor did he take a boat from the ferry to Dalaran, but entered the Silver Pine Forest.

Because there, or in that direction, there is an archmage who is good at dwarf engineering.

Millhouse. Mana Storm.

Carlos doesn't give up in his dictionary.
