Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Turning Point in Northrend (Part I)

Standing on top of the fortress built by the undead, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart, not only because we got it relatively easily, but also because I knew exactly that I might have more than that, but also the feelings that I hadn't lost in the first place.

I couldn't help but look around and search for what I was looking for.

However, I didn't find Sylvanas, and instead my eyes stayed on the other elf, who was with her favorite mage at the moment, and the latter may have collapsed from the distractions he had unleashed on the battlefield just now, so he simply lay down on the steps, but he still closed his eyes and smiled and talked to the elves about beautiful things, and enjoyed the love of the elves with the holy light.

As a paladin, I knew very well that after receiving the Holy Light and not being injured, Ronin would definitely not collapse to the point that he did not even have the strength to stand. I'm sure Winlessa knows this very well, but who can blame him for this greed. And this affection does make me feel jealous, of course, compared to my current relationship with my Ranger.

I also began to compare the two of them to me and Sylvanas.

I knew that no matter how powerful a mage was, he was the most vulnerable when he was concentrating on casting spells, but Ronin didn't care about that at all, because he had the best and most trusted Guardian by his side, Winlessa. I think Sylvanas was the one who saved me this morning as if I was there. That said, Sylvanas still cared about me, and although she wouldn't admit it, I knew that since she didn't charge forward like the other rangers in the siege, it was enough that he knew that I was a little absent-minded on the battlefield, yes, it must have been.

With this in mind, I nodded in conviction. Gianna walked up with a smile on her face, as if she was aware of my thoughts, but she still said something serious as the beginning of a conversation with me.

"Crassus and Sylvanas want me to tell you that all the undead have been purged. ”

"They asked you to tell me the news?" I asked with some urgency, which naturally revealed my state of mind

"Looks like you're a little disappointed, or do you think she's coming?"

"But I thought he, Crassus, would come to see me...", I defended, but this thought was simply disguised in front of her, and could only be exchanged for her doubts.

"Arthas?"

"Well, I was wrong. ”

"There's still a lot of time, and there's still a chance. ”

"Time? Yes, we still have time. I whispered, but looking at her smile and affectionate gaze, I assured me of at least one thing, "I hope you're still there for me anyway, right?"

"Arthas!"

"Well, well, I shouldn't have asked that. Looking at her slightly angry expression, I seemed to ask another question that seemed to her to be knowingly asked. However, I still have many ways to deflect this embarrassment, such as the one thing I just thought of to 'blame' him. "I'm wondering how it was her bow and arrow that saved me, and why wasn't it your spell, didn't you notice me?"

"I'm sorryβ€”" She stared at me and staggered, maybe she really didn't notice or maybe she was lying like I did, and gave Sylvanas that chance, yes, since she knew about it, it must be true, but I wouldn't 'spare' her for it.

"Gianna?"

"Well, I was wrong. ”

"Well... So be it. Seeing that she seemed to be very guilty, I suddenly hugged her and smiled, yes, I have no reason to worry about this matter with her, after all, it is my own mistake no matter what, and I can't rely on others, but my own mistakes can be exchanged for Gianna's current feeling of "indebtedness", and I am sure that Sylvanas has a heart for me, I think it is still very worthwhile, especially now that I can enjoy the ** appearance like Wen Lesa and Luo Ning just now, it does make me feel comfortable.

As last time, I decided to take a day off, and I walked down the wall to announce the news, and everyone was very happy with the arrangement. Yes, such an easy war, and such a long rest time, is definitely something that no one expected at the beginning, I originally thought that it would be far more difficult than the war with the tribe at that time, but now it seems that it can't even compare to the march to Blackstone Mountain. There is no need for me to make such a victorious war as I did in Stratholme, for it seems that the safety of the people in my hometown will not be affected by the sooner or later days.

When I opened the map again, I realized that as long as I attacked the next stronghold, I could see the Dreadlord's position, and I believe that if he didn't have any killer skills at that time, then his treatment would be no different from these dead undead. Thinking of this, I didn't continue to think about those troubled things, but completely relaxed with everyone to enjoy the joy and relaxation brought by this victory, and as for the vigil, the mage's enchantment will help us to be prepared in advance, so just like hunting, only a small number of people are left for the vigil.

But is that really the case? The next morning, my illusions were shattered by a visitor, and I realized that things were far from simple.

Just like the previous morning, after a day's rest, I was ready to go again, but that's when a teleportation technique reappeared to me, and it was very similar to Gianna's. I couldn't help but look at Luo Ning and the mages I knew well who could use teleportation, but they weren't. However, in Crassus's unguarded eyes, I could tell that the visitor was not a threat, but I had a vague sense that something was wrong.

Soon the face of a human mage appeared in front of me, and in his decoration I seemed to perceive that he might be in the same class as Gianna.

"Hello, Your Highness Arthas. I was asked by Master Antonio to withdraw your troops..."

"What? Antonio? I could see that there was something vague and eager in his eyes, and I was very puzzled by this. But putting that aside, I felt a wave of doubt about what he had said, and yes, I could hardly imagine that Antonio would ask me to do it. It doesn't make any sense at all, first of all, he, who doesn't believe in Medivan's doomsday prophecy, will definitely not stop us from destroying the demons, and secondly, if he really wants us to withdraw, he should have let my father inform me, instead of ordering us as the leader of Kenrito.

"I don't think it's his old man's order, or is it that you have some other purpose, who are you?"

I stared at him sharply, and he immediately looked aggrieved. To this, Crassus denied my doubts about his identity.

"He is Kindi, the son of Khadgar's guru Jazba, who became the youngest disciple of Master Antonio while in exile in Stormwind, and one of the few remaining mages in Stormwind. ”

When I heard who he was, I immediately stopped warning him, and Gianna went in to try to comfort him, and told me with the look in her eyes that Crassus was right.

"Believe me, Your Highness Arthas, you must send troops backβ€”" The young man, who was much younger than me, did not fully recover his composure before he mustered up the courage to make a request to me again, but this time he showed scruple and repeated what he had just said. "It's really urgent, please be sure to lead the troops back... Must. ”

"Tell me why. "I also went in with him and comforted him with the light, yes to his age to be able to use teleportation, and to look at everyone around me with a sharp gaze, yes, I wanted to tell him that it was safe, and I also wanted to know who he was worried about to make him afraid to tell the truth, and the people around me looked at this visitor with puzzled eyes. But it was at this time that something came out of his mouth that I felt unacceptable.

"Before I came by boat, Gilneth had already launched an attack on Lordaeron, and I believe that by this time they may attack the city of Lordaeron. ”

"No way! Gilneys' army is only one-sixth of our Lordaeron army, and counting what we have taken with us, Uther's main force is at least twice as large as theirs, and Greysideburns will not dare to do such a thing!" I admonished the boy in a reprimanding tone, yes, his behavior was undoubtedly shaking the morale of the army. Maybe if it were another identity, I might have let people pull him out a long time ago. Again, Gianna did not help him speak this time, but rejected his opinion on her grounds.

"And there is still our Kul Tiras in the south, didn't my father send troops to meet him?"

"And the orcs..."Wen Resa also came and walked into him, but when he saw the ranger approaching, there was a fist clenching movement, although the ranger was also aware of this behavior, but this action can be attributed to the topic she said, after all, everyone knows the influence of orcs on the generation of Stormwind City.

In order to stop Wen Lesa from saying those things, Gianna graciously grabbed the ranger and grabbed the topic and asked a question that she knew was impossible. "Did they join forces to attack Lordaeron?"

In the face of our question, the mage only answered Gianna's last question first, and the result made me think that things might be a little worse than I thought.

"No... The orcs wanted to move east across the sea, and the admiral sent his main force to hunt them down. ”

"Trouble!" Gianna was present and I could not reproach his father, after all, he was not wrong in reason, and such mistakes were not irreparable, so I arranged for someone who could notify Dai Lin as soon as possible to stop the Admiral's behavior. "Crassus, you must warn him to stop pursuing the orcs and let them come back. ”

I pleaded with the Red Dragon Mage, but he seemed much calmer than I was now, and he didn't hesitate to ask Jindy a crucial question.

"Son, I believe you convey Antonio's intentions, but I want to ask you why he decided that Uther's forces could not defeat the invaders of Gilneth. As soon as he said this, all eyes were on him, and at this time he seemed to have no reason to hide any more truth, so he said something that shocked me even more.

"Arugao, the mage advisor with gray sideburns, has turned half of his soldiers into vicious werewolves, werewolves..."

"Damn!" Hearing the word werewolf, I suddenly remembered Arugao's identity, the evil and selfish wolf lord was him....my voice interrupted Jindi's continuation, and sat on the ground angrily with a hammer head regretting that he hadn't realized this fact sooner, and Greysideburns' instinctive thinking as a political opportunist.

Now that the relationship between the two countries is so tense, coupled with his current strength and situation, their demise may only be a matter of thought. So he has to be desperate to find a comeback. And the present plague in the north, and the fact that I am leading half of the expeditionary force here, may be the best chance, and the only time, if it were for me, I will certainly do so, and use all my strength to fight with us.

"He actually has the power to transform an army into werewolves, it's absolutely impossible, unless..." I looked down and thought about this, and I seemed to realize another problem, maybe this was originally the demon's plan, yes, if Arugao had experimented with turning a living into a werewolf before, then Kenrito's elves would definitely give him a harsher punishment than Kel'thugad, but maybe it was also possible that he was very secretive, or...

"It's the devil's guidance...", Crassus replied firmly, and it marked the last illusion in my heart that was shattered.

The realization of Crassus made me feel a pang of despair, and in that case I seemed to have nothing more to say, and there was only one way to solve the problem.

"When we get back, we'll level Gilneth!" I scolded, and turned in the direction of the south, but I stopped again, for I could easily think that the situation might be more serious than that.

Yes, if you go back on your own, you will be completely controlled by the demon and the rhythm will be completely mastered. But what can you do, you can't ignore your hometown in order to completely destroy the demons. And what's even more tragic is that even if I go back now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Lordaeron for half a month, and if I think about it, if I were that Melganir, it would make me look at the dead bodies all over the city, so that I would despair.

I hesitated, but it wasn't the time to be in a daze, and it was at this time that Crassus comforted me in another way, yes, he had put all his chips on my fight against the demons this time.

"Arthas, I will personally stop Dareen, and I will join them in attacking the eastern coastal hinterland of Gilneys, as far as your homeland goes. I will let my heirs go and help you defend the main city first. ”

"Thank you so much, Lord Crassus. ”

"I don't think it's that simple, Arthas, you have to be careful. ”

"I understand, but I have no choice, I can't let my own people be persecuted, so we have to go back. ”

Crassus didn't continue to say anything when he heard this, but turned into a dragon form and flew to the southeast. And I can only get my troops to the port as fast as possible.
