"Child, when you were young, I loved you and loved you. When you learn to walk, I care for you and take care of you...... When the Scourge came, your mother sacrificed her life to protect you. I know that you have more than once longed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, to become a true warrior. But I'm also telling you, you're not old enough to hold a sword......"

In the light of the Ember Bringer, Old Mograine's soul flickered like a halo of light. This bleak and tragic scene made Ares lay down his weapon. His eyes softened, the Knights of the Black Blade were going to return after all, but here, it was too late...... In the original history of Warcraft, Tirio fought against the Scourge in the Chapel of Light's Wish, and Darien was defeated and handed over the fallen Ash Bringer, and since then, this holy sword has been purified in the hands of the legendary paladin Tirio. Today, the Scourge is several times stronger than its original history......

"Father's ......"

Darian's blood-red eyes cleared.

Letting the wind blow his white hair, his eyes were always fixed on his father's soul. That was his most beloved father, that was his father who deserved to protect with his life.

"Darian, look at what you look like now, what are you doing? Where did your free will go? You're serving that executioner, you're becoming an enemy of all the people of Azeroth. I'm so disappointed, Darian, how could I have a child like you......"

"But my father...... It's not what I want! ……”

Darion's eyes filled with tears. He seemed to be back to that childhood, when he was only fifteen years old. The burly figure of his father stood in front of him. He picked up a heavy sword and handed him into his own hands. The church makes its own sword.

But Alexandrius Rhodes. Mograini didn't listen to him.

"Proof? I need you to prove it, Darien. Show your courage and prove that you still have your own soul and free will! ”

Old Mograini roared. Although the sound was not audible to outsiders, Ares could feel it. Darien could hear it better. It was the wrath of the Ember Bringer, and it could have slashed it with a single sword. But Ares showed mercy, and the soul of old Mograine appeared. In order to save Darian.

Redemption ......

"I'll prove it to you, Father! I will, I will! Father! ”

Darien roared on the verge of collapse, his soul struggling, it was a loyal heart, it was an unyielding heart, it was the glory that belonged to the Mograine family, it belonged to freedom and hope!

Finally, Darien broke out. This time, it's the real outbreak. The soul was torn apart, and finally broke out of the cocoon and was reborn.

His eyes were bloodshot red again, only this time, he aimed his sword at the Lich King's men......

"The Death Knight is no longer enslaved by the Lich King! We are free people! ”

In the middle of the battlefield, Grand Lord Darian. Mograini roared. This turning point surprised not only the Alliance soldiers, but also the Lich King's army. Ebon Fortress is the Lich King's trump card, second only to Naxxramas. Darion is the High Lord, leading the Death Knights to spread plague and terror. And now, this powerful lord has temporarily defected. Join the Alliance side. Abomination looked at their former lord with wide eyes, rode his necromantic steed, and rushed at them, slashing their heads off with a single sword.

Darien's awakening is leading more Death Knights to break free from the Lich King's bondage and enslavement.

On the bloody and brutal battlefield, almost a third of the Death Knights rebelled on the spot. Join Ares' army. Help Lordaeron's army fight against the remnants of the Lich King.

"Traitor!"

The necromancer cursed. However, before he could summon a necromancy spell, the High Lord Darien. Mograine was already galloping, and a sword slashed through his body.

The paladins were still using holy light against these undead knights one second, and the next second they were fighting side by side with these death knights. The dramatic scene tilted the scales of war in an instant's favor with the Alliance.

A large number of Scourge troops began to flee. Under the repeated impact of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Knights of the Blackblade Fortress, the battlefield was full of corpses. There were mutilated corpses everywhere, and there were bloody soldiers everywhere.

Finally, the wind and snow subsided, and the cold winter faded.

The entire battlefield reverberated with an aura of slaughter.

"Welcome back, Darien. My old friend. ”

After the battle, a bloodstained and tired Ares tries to express his joy by hugging Darian. However, Darion, who is a death knight, refuses -

"No, Ares, now, you are you, and I am me. We will never be as close together as we used to be. I am a death knight, a plague and a spread of terror, a lifeless corpse. And you, you are human, you are a living person. After all, we are people of two worlds. Thank you for accommodating me and accepting me. But I know that many Lordaerons will not accept me. I've caused them so much pain. Now, I only hope to use my sword to atone for the wrongs I have committed. The Death Knight henceforth owes allegiance to you, High Lord of Lordaeron. ”

Darien said, kneeling down on one knee. Ares hurriedly helped him up.

"Brother, you don't need to be loyal to anyone, all you have to do is follow your heart. Your father, Alexandrius is watching you and looking at me, and we must do our best to protect the weak with the sword in our hands. Preaching the ...... of Justice"

For a moment, Ares felt as if he had completely become a person of this world. Talking about the way of knighthood, doing what a big lord should do. A ray of sunlight sprinkled faintly on his body. It is as if the Father's kind hand is caressing his child's hair.

The next day, once the Lich King's right-hand man, Darien. Mograine joins Ares' Lordaeron League. Joining the legion with him were more than three hundred elite death knights. This is a special force, and even if the Lordaeron coalition reluctantly accepts them, Ares knows that it will be difficult to get Varian and his Orthodox alliance to accept this force, and there is still a long way to go.

But no matter what. The expeditionary force has another reliable ally.

With Darian on board, the expeditionary force has received accurate first-hand information. Having worked under the Lich King for a long time, Darien is very clear about the distribution of the Scourge Legion's troops, the map of Northrend, and the road network. This is worth more than a legion......
