Andorhar, Darsun Farm, Sodoril River, Talon County ......

On the way from the Western Plaguelands to the Chapel of Light's Wish, the sky seemed to be dyed, forever filled with a dense layer of orange, and the further east we went, the fog became thicker and thicker, and even sunlight could not penetrate such dense clouds, and the air was full of the smell of rotting corpses. Ares suddenly felt that the air he had breathed in Gilneth was so fresh...... It was a little damp and the sea breeze carried a salty smell on its face, but at least it was fresher than the air in the Plaguelands.

Along the way, listening to Tirio's description, the Western Plague Land seemed to be a beautiful place before the plague raged, when the warm sun penetrated the woods and the farmers toiled the fields, harvesting abundant grains and various fruits and vegetables.

Indeed, before the scourge ravaged, the Western Plaguelands were the richest place in all of Lordaeron. Even though the description of it sounds so untrue, as nothing but an endless orange haze is the diseased trees, standing like filthy giant mushrooms on the land.

The Sodoril River is still flowing, but it has become muddy and foul. In the distance, you can smell the disgusting stench of decay, and the Scourge throws all the desabanded, useless corpse fragments into the river. The once clear waters of the river have become muddy, like Lake Daron Mill, with dead fish and filth floating on it.

When they finally arrived at the Chapel of Light, the Scarlet Crusaders had been waiting for a long time. Dressed in striking red uniforms, they stood neatly outside the church, led by a priest who looked to be in his sixties, with a wooden cane, pale hair, and a look of fortitude and wisdom in his eyes. Beside the High Priest stood a Scarlet Paladin, like the Paladin of Silver Dawn, who was clad in armor and held a heavy book in his hand. In order to ensure the peaceful progress of the peace talks, all delegates entering the room were required to surrender their weapons, including the Scarlet Crusaders, including Tirio, including Ares.

After half a year, returning to this sacred place again, Ares was a little excited.

The Chapel of the Wish of Light, from a distance, is not a particularly majestic building, on the contrary, it is very simple, even a little rudimentary, so simple that it has only the necessary places of worship, without even a hint of additional decoration. However, this church is so special that under it, thousands of loyal martyrs of Lordaeron are buried, most of whom are pure paladins. Killed in the war of natural disasters, secretly dragged here for burial, over time, this place became a holy land, a forbidden place for the undead of natural disasters.

"Ares! How do you still have the face to come back? Damned traitor, you have split the Scarlet Monastery out of the Crusaders! This is the act of a traitor! ”

Upon entering the venue, the representatives of the Scarlet Crusade began to verbally bombard Ares, leaving Ares and Tirio confused...... Something suddenly went wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, which was originally to discuss cooperation, but the Scarlet Crusaders clearly hated Ares more than Silver Dawn. The Silver Dawn was developed in secret, and the Scarlet Monastery, which was originally a very important base and unit under Da Sohan, was completely independent by Ares in just a few months......

There was an uproar at the scene, and the guards were even ready to rush into the venue with weapons in hand to stop the commotion.

"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me, Ares is my guest of honor, he is my friend and an ally of Silver Dawn, and if you are here to fight today, then there is no need for this meeting to continue. If, today, we are here to discuss cooperation against the Scourge Legion, then please sit down and have a calm meeting. If you want to verbally attack like this, I'll have to ask the guards to get you out. That's all for today's meeting. ”

In the midst of the chaos, Tirio stepped forward and roared loudly.

In this way, the audience suddenly fell silent. The representatives of the Scarlet Crusade looked at each other, and then, reluctantly, dragged out their chairs and sat down.

"Ogris, the Scarlet Crusader Paladin, is in charge of the defense of the Hand of Tyr."

"Kleist, priest, clergy of the Hand of Tyr."

"Xia Zuo, warrior, belongs to the Third Legion of the Scarlet Crusaders."

"Edith, priest."

"Jared, magician."

"Kim, priest."

After a bit of an argument, the meeting officially began. The delegates briefly introduced their positions and responsibilities in their respective camps. Ares discovers that most of the representatives of the Scarlet Crusaders are priests, and perhaps only the priests can perceive the true path of light, and realize how stupid and paranoid the Scarlet Crusaders are to hate all factions and fight against the undead alone. Paladins certainly do, but they are very numerous. It is necessary to believe in the Holy Light and have a martial arts, which is not something that everyone can have.

"Tirio, don't say any polite words, the purpose of our coming here is very clear, time is pressing, I will briefly introduce the current situation to you......"

The leading Scarlet Crusade representative, Kleist, sat down in his place and began to talk. Like Tirio, his face is furrowed, full of the vicissitudes and heaviness of time. A pair of emaciated hands clenched into fists from time to time, as if that was the determination to fight against natural disasters, unwavering.

"Naxxramas, yes, it's back. This time, it's so close to the Hand of Tyr that I suspect the Lich King is preparing a massive assault on us. Moreover, Naxxramas alone is not enough to worry us, there is another floating fortress that is also coming. We've never seen it before, it's a little smaller than Naxxramas and it's relatively far away from us, but the fact that two floating fortresses are coming at the same time may be a very dangerous sign for us. In fact, the Scarlet Crusaders remain steadfast in their determination to fight the undead of the Scourge, but as you know, we sent a fleet to Northrend on the northern continent a year ago, but this fleet has not been heard from since, which has greatly weakened us. ”

"So you're asking for our help?"

Serphes, the Silver Dawn Warrior, asked.

"No, not for reinforcement, but for allies. Yes, the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders have always had disputes and grievances, and I know that the Scarlet Crusaders have persecuted many of the Silver Dawn warriors. However, I would like to say that when the Scourge descends on Lordaeron once again, we should unite to resist this evil force. It is important to abandon all grievances and disputes, positions, and ideas, but in the face of the raging army of natural disasters, we should abandon all these and unite to fight against the undead of natural disasters. ”

Kleist turned his head to look at Sephis, the Silver Warrior of the Dawn, and said in a dignified tone. His expression was solemn and solemn, as if that was the guidance and teachings of the Light.

"Well, let's put it this way, cooperation, alliance, yes, if you really want to reach such an agreement, of course I support it, but there is a problem, Lord Kleist, this time you have set out to come here, it seems that it is the will of a few of you personally, not the intention of the entire Scarlet Crusade. I wonder how effective it would be if we were able to work together. If the rest of the Scarlet Crusade object, then all that we are discussing here is useless. ”

Fred, who was sitting next to Tirio, spoke. As Ares' mentor, he participated in the Naxxramas raid and has remained at the Chapel of Light's Wish ever since, knowing much more about the situation and background of the Scarlet Crusade representatives than Ares and Tirio.
