Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Eastern Plague Lands
There are many weapons in World of Warcraft, but if you say that the most famous is Frost Sorrow.
In fact, the origin of Frostmourn is not exhaustive, but it is known that it was forged by the Dreadlords, and then sealed by Kilgardan himself and thrown to Azeroth along with Neozu.
From this point of view, it is likely that this sword has the same status as the Lich King Neozu!
But now that he was surrounded by trolls, he didn't have time to take a closer look at the secret of Frost's sorrow.
Seeing that the surrounding trolls were also in a panic because of the sudden disappearance of the dragon eagle spirit, Su Chen hurriedly wielded the frost sorrow to kill the nearest trolls.
He had wanted to take the opportunity to break out of the siege and find the griffons, but he soon discovered that the many trolls who had been besieging him had dispersed like birds and beasts in an instant.
Su Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, it seemed that the spirit of the dragon eagle was devoured and had a great impact on these trolls, and this was a good time to explore Zu Aman.
However, after thinking about it, he finally decided to look for the griffin first.
Without the influence of the dragon eagle spirit, the griffon finally returned to its original normal state.
"Let's go." Su Chen immediately stepped onto the griffin, he was not confident enough to brush Zu Aman alone.
After all, it was great luck to be able to kill the dragon eagle spirit with the help of Frost Sorrow, otherwise it might have been captured alive by those trolls and ready to cook.
The griffin soared into the sky.
Su Chen, who returned to the air, could see that those elven rangers had taken the opportunity to capture a fortress on the outskirts of Zuaman, and were condescendingly attacking the trolls who were trying to counterattack.
However, with the sound of a piercing gong from inside Zuaman, the trolls who had been trying to counterattack suddenly retreated like a tide.
Su Chen controlled the griffin to slowly fall, and Sylvanas immediately greeted him.
"It's okay if you're okay, just now I seemed to sense a very powerful force coming from inside, and I was worried that you would be in trouble, but fortunately, the mysterious power suddenly disappeared again, and the trolls began to retreat." Sylvanas said with concern.
"It's a little trouble, I just got rid of a dragon eagle." Su Chen said with a smile, it is estimated that Sylvanas sensed the power of the dragon eagle spirit, and the retreat of these trolls should also be related to the dragon eagle spirit being devoured by the frost sorrow.
It's just that now the trolls have completely retreated, retreating back into Zuaman, and even abandoning many of the outer fortresses, it is quite troublesome to attack again, unless they are prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with those trolls in the dense forest.
"Judging by the appearance of these trolls, they shouldn't come out to attack again in the short term, Silvermoon City is not in danger for the time being, and we can go south at full speed." Sylvanas analyzed.
Su Chen naturally would not object to this, he was also in a hurry to return to Lordaeron, if he wasn't worried about the safety of these elves, he would have flown back to the Hearthburg directly.
Two days later, they finally walked out of the jungle of the Wraithlands, and there was an open field in front of them.
However, as in the Wraith Lands, there are still traces of war everywhere......
The orange dust haze floated in the sky, and the vision was always a little hazy, and both sides of the road were littered with ruins, but there were no corpses.
"Lordaeron is really completely ruined...... Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Sylvanas couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded slightly, this was originally supposed to be a field, but because of the appearance of the plague, this place was already a no-man's land, and the only creatures in the wilderness were those mutated wild dogs.
This is the so-called Eastern Plague Lands, and the plague here looks even worse than Andohar!
Su Chen led everyone to silently follow the main road, which was the only way for the Human Kingdom to communicate with the High Elves, and it was also the road that the Undead Scourge passed through to attack Silvermoon City in the north this time.
As everyone continued to go south into the plague land, they encountered more and more undead along the way, but these scattered undead were not strong in combat power, and they were easily killed by everyone.
When he came to a fork in the road, Su Chen couldn't help but stop and look at the fork in the road that led to the west.
At the end of this road is Stratholme, the second largest city in Lordaeron!
It was also the city that Arthas remembered the most, even more than the capital of Lordaeron, where he had always lived.
It's just that these memories are full of pain......
"It's a good thing I didn't cross before the slaughter, otherwise I really don't know how to face this." Su Chen sighed slightly in his heart.
Alsace's decision to massacre Stratholme was perhaps the most controversial event of his life.
Even the murder of his father later was not as serious as this massacre, after all, he had gone completely crazy when he returned from Northrend, and what he did was not from his own heart.
And in front of the gates of Stratholme, it was decided to slaughter the city, a decision made when he was absolutely conscious.
After Su Chen came to this world, he also thought about how he would deal with the situation if he was present at that time.
Methods such as quarantine or propaganda should have some effect.
However, after thinking about it and making various assumptions, the method he chose was still to slaughter the city.
The reason is very simple, the battle of Stratholm was originally a trap set by the Lich King and the Dreadlord.
With Arthas's strength at the time, he couldn't get out of this trap at all, and even if he chose to escape temporarily like Uther, the next trap would eventually await him.
In spite of oneself...... This is also the most tragic place in Alsace's life.
When he finally killed the soul of Neozu and became the true Lich King, although he was in control of his own destiny, everything was irreparable.
Su Chen didn't know what Arthas was thinking after becoming the Lich King.
However, it is certain that it did not do its best in the face of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army, and there was a huge and unmatched army of undead, but he just stayed in the icecrown fortress all day waiting for others to attack, and he didn't do anything harmful......
"It's so desolate." Sylvanas's voice interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.
"It used to be a bustling place, but it's just ...... It was destroyed by my own hands. Su Chen controlled the griffin with some gloom, and continued to turn his head towards the south.
He has taken possession of Arthas's body, so he will naturally have to take on the responsibility of Arthas, Stratholme will be a long-lasting sore spot in his heart, and his battle with the Lich King and the Dreadlord will continue to die.

The second is more likely to be late, and I hope you will forgive me.
