There are many reasons why I went to the southern front so early, in addition to the fear of werewolves, another reason is Sylvanas, she is in a more awkward place, my marriage contract with Gianna has arrived, maybe it is not for the war to continue at my request, they will have to discuss with Prodmore what to do about it... And her intervention apparently interrupted some of their original plans. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info And this kind of thing is not only the father and the king, but even I don't know how to deal with it, so instead of that, it is better to rush to the front line early to alleviate this kind of thing.

We lost a lot of troops on this trip, because the soldiers in the Stratholme area were greatly reduced, so they were not allowed to continue the southern expedition, so most of the soldiers who came back went home, and in the same way, Muradin and his people did not take it with them, but stayed in Lordaeron to help build, maybe they are dwarven warriors who are more suitable for the front line, but I think it is better not to involve Ironforge in matters between humans, especially if they are still invading others.

In other words, I just took my companions and the original guards, as well as some mage apprentices who didn't go to the front line.

Yes, these Lordaeron mages had already shown their usefulness in the early days of Northrend, and the disadvantage of the army after losing them in the later years had been exposed, so now think about how right it was to set up your own mage academy in the first place, especially since Dalaran had not been directly involved in our war with Gilneth.

This is all thanks to Karegos and Ronin. Karegos aside, I was a little upset that guy didn't play for me in Northrend.

Speaking of my mage advisor, his face was extremely excited along the way. Yes, much more excited than any of us, even more cheerful than Winlessa, who was glad that her sister was able to stay, in contrast to the face she had when she was in the royal city. I don't think I can remember when he was so fond of war, but I can't seem to find a reason to excite him other than that.

"Luo Ning, why are you so happy?"

Gianna also had doubts about this, and as a mage, she also noticed the strangeness of her companion, but he looked at me, hesitated, and then uttered an explanation that left me speechless.

"It's because everybody is safe. ”

"Then you're so slow to react... How unhappy earlier. ”

"Really?" Luo Ning answered my question, but seeing everyone's cold color, he had to say the excitement that he really didn't want to hide. "It's because I see hope, hope for the future...", he made us even more puzzled, but his face also assured that he was not lying. "I mean, really, Your Highness Arthas, the future can change. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"That's because I used to foresee today's fantasies, that time when we were on the rooftop, what we talked about, and what was on your suicide note, yes, I was repeatedly thinking about the question, is that the thing you said is what I saw. But you changed the story of the illusion, that is, you didn't draw your weapon. ”

"Well... Yes, I've changed what is to come in the future. ”

After Luo Ning's reminder, I noticed that the scene where I should have killed my father did not happen at all, although it is not possible for me to do anything like that now, but for this change, I think it may be more significant. Because this shows that the future is not static. Even if it was destined by fantasy, I believe that Khadgar would be very comforted if he knew so. I thought about it, and my expression was as happy as Ronin's.

"Arthas, what's wrong. ”

Seeing me and Luo Ning having a silly time there, they were also puzzled, and I think it is necessary for everyone to know about this.

"I broke some of the curses of fate, the tragedy that was meant to be mine. ”

"Is the future predestined?" asked Sylvanas, puzzled, yes, it would be ridiculous for her to think that fate was predestined.

"You can choose it, but some of it is forced... For example, Khadgar, when he was an apprentice to Medivan, he knew that there was no going back to Draenor, but he still resolutely led troops there for the sake of our alliance, and I broke a future curse, I didn't put on the curse of fate, I came back in Northrend, and it was the same as before. ”

I explained, but I unconsciously saw the Frost Sorrow on the back of the mana horse that was sealed in the sword box, and the excitement instantly diminished a lot, and it was at this moment that Gianna asked a question that shocked me.

"I heard that the Red Dragon Queen once told me something about your cursed fate, but she also told me that the future chaos is unknown, any outcome will happen, be careful of the chaos in the future, I thought she was reminding me, it turned out that I was telling you. ”

"Tell me?"

I wondered what Gianna was saying, and by this time I realized that things might not be as good as I thought.

Yes, she said that all the previously predicted future has changed. ”

Her answer shocked me a little, because if I had changed some of my future, it would not necessarily be a decisive battle with the Burning Legion in Mount Hyjal, or that our world might be conquered by the Burning Legion. Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but tremble a little, but before I could show it, Luo Ning also expressed his similar experience and understanding.

"Ryzdorm said the same thing, and apparently you changed some of them, and I think we will be able to defeat the Burning Legion's attempts in our world. ”

"Well, then we'll have to work harder. "I'm not revealing anything, since anything can happen, maybe it will end better after working hard, for example, you don't have to leave us from home, just like everyone is happy, if we can change for the better, then why not try our best.

I didn't continue to talk to them about this topic, but to talk about how to fight this war, and the combat power of werewolves, and in Wenlesa's explanation, I realized that they were terrifying, with the agility of elves, the strength of orcs, coupled with human tactics, the same ferocity as the undead, and the superb ability to fight at night, and indeed only the walls and air power could stop them

。

"But their power has weakened, right? ”

Thassarian asked happily, but Winlessa disagreed.

"I think it should be that they have regained their humanity and become less ferocious, as for strength, I don't think their strength has decreased much, the reason why I reported to the king that it was your elimination of the culprits in Northrend that directly led to the report of Gilneth withdrawing troops is actually debatable..."

"No drop?" I wondered, yes, I wouldn't doubt that the data provided by Winlessa was inaccurate, because I was also doubting how much of a connection the werewolf had to do with Melganil, after all, he had already fled after Nesario appeared. The collision with the date we destroyed the undead may just be a coincidence, but there is an obvious problem with this. "Then why did they withdraw?"

"I don't know, maybe they came to their senses and knew that they couldn't conquer the royal city, maybe they had internal disagreements, but to be honest, they still had a chance to conquer the royal city. ”

Ronin explained his own understanding, and Wenlesa also very much agreed with Ronin's understanding, and Sylvanas had his own understanding of my doubts.

"I think they got rid of Deathwing's grip and threat to withdraw their troops, after all, the werewolf we met on the road said that they were 'instigated' by the black dragon to attack us. ”

"That makes sense, and his disappearance again seems to be due to the Red Dragon Queen's credit, and it is believed that she has led most of her children to fight against Deathwing during this time. ”

I nodded at Sylvanas's opinion, and it was at this point that Gianna had a very debatable question.

"It should be so, but if it's really because they've come to their senses, then Arthas, are you still going to insist on attacking Gilneth?"

"Probably not, but we have to eradicate the werewolf magic, and I'm afraid that if a demon comes to our world, they will take advantage of this mutation, so we need to control the spread of this creature in our humans anyway. ”

I thought about it for a moment, answering Gianna's question. But she knew my own truest thoughts, but she continued to ask me trivia, and seemed to disagree with my understanding of the continuation of the war.

"In the past the orc shelter? or let them go to the western continent. ”

"I don't know if any of them are as sane as the ones we've seen, so let's talk about it then. ”

I motioned to Gianna not to say anything, yes, I myself was very hesitant to covet Gilnes's territory, but I felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so, or that there should be nothing wrong with doing so. After that, in order not to further the issue, I asked Wenlesa and Ronin to recount their characteristics and several experiences of the Guard War to divert the conversation, and on the way, I tried not to get into the rights and wrongs of this war.

A few days later, we reached the front, where Uther and Galletsus had been stationed for a long time with the main force of our army, and although there was no fighting during this time, the reinforcement of the front line ramparts continued, and more new military installations were being built to prepare for the invasion of the enemy.

Also at the suggestion of Sylvanas, I saw through my telescope that in the south of Gilneth, their forts seemed to have been built earlier and more robust than we did, and that there were plans to link them together to form the Great Wall. I think that's the prototype of the so-called wall of something. But for now, it seems that there is still a lot of work to be done.

I thought so, and our presence caught the attention of our guards, who, realizing that it was us, led us to the fortress of Uther and their headquarters.

"Oh, Arthas is glad you're back safe and sound. The battle to destroy the demons must be very difficult, I really didn't expect to do it with you people, or if the enemy is not as a huge threat to us as reported by Ronin. ”

Uther said, obviously suspicious of my expedition to the north, or that he had thought that defending the royal city was a top priority, but I was absent... I was surprised to hear this, I really didn't expect that seeing my master again would be the beginning of a quarrel.

"At least a third of the soldiers here have fought with the undead, and they know how terrible the other side is. ”

"Perhaps, but the undead don't threaten our foundations, and as far as their reports go, the Northern Expedition was surprisingly easy. But here, the werewolves almost captured our royal city. I think it all stems from the fact that you took most of the troops with you, and you don't need so many people in the Northern Expedition. ”

Garawinder still reprimanded me as a paladin senior as always, I really don't know if this paladin doesn't understand politics at all, but it's good that I don't care about this, or I'm used to his way for a long time, but getting used to it doesn't mean that I won't use words to refute this guy.

"Perhaps, but if I had known that Gilneth was going to attack us, I would certainly not have sent so many soldiers, and I would even have dealt with this approaching enemy first before going on the Northern Expedition. ”

"At that time, we were facing off against the enemy, and you didn't expect the enemy to attack us, because you lacked the foresight to attack the main force of Lordaeron against the undead. "Some of the other stubborn paladin elders also lashed out at me. And this annoys me even more, yes, the undead did not wreak havoc on them at all, and I can only come up with the best evidence for this.

"Look what this is, feel him with your heart, fellow paladins, if you've seen anything more evil than this. "I motioned for Manic to take out the Frost Sorrow box, yes, there was still some light on the surface, but it didn't take long for the Silver Hand members to realize that something was wrong.

"What kind of evil thing is this, how can so many poor souls be sealed. ”

"It's the weapons used by their culprits that are more evil than anything anyone in our world has ever created, and whoever it kills will reside here and become his power. I'm sure you can imagine how strong he is. ”

"Your Highness Arthas, we don't doubt the significance of your Northern Expedition, but you also know that when we appeared werewolves, it was indeed very difficult, and we were almost slaughtered. ”

"I understand, generals, thank you for doing this for our people, but I'm not here to talk to you about the past. I addressed the Silver Hand seniors, and then turned to their head, my master Uther, yes, only he could say anything now.

"That's... Arthas, then what are you here for, let's purify

This weapon?"

"No, this power must be accomplished by the power of the guardian dragon, and I am here to lead the main force of Lordaeron to destroy the root of the werewolves, which is Gilneis. ”

As I spoke, almost all of the silver hands were serious, yes, perhaps they had already guessed my purpose and had embarrassed me like that at first. After all, these powerful paladins who are bound by dogmatism do not like to invade others, especially for their own race. But this is limited to them, and as for other generals who are not Silver Hands, such as Garissus and others, they welcome us very much, because it means that they are about to make a difference.

"I very much agree with Your Highness that we must eliminate the root cause of the threat to our country, especially now that the number of werewolves is still increasing, we cannot guarantee that when the number of werewolves doubles, we will still have the strength to resist the enemy's attack. ”

"But they have no intention of encroaching on us, and they are only building fortifications, and just yesterday their king sent an emissary to hope that we would be able to make a permanent truce. ”

"The seemingly quiet enemy may just be waiting for the right moment, and the Grey Temples are always vacillating, and we can't trust their promises. I said this, but seeing Uther's embarrassed expression, I seemed to recognize something. "Haven't you already given them an answer?"

"Alsace, we cannot refuse the opportunity for peace. ”

"But I must not lose the possibility of true peace, and I must send messengers to inform them that we must disarm their werewolves so that true peace can be brought. ”

"It's too dangerous to go to war with the enemy, and whoever goes as an emissary will never return. ”

"I can create a fantasy..."

Ronin interjected, and Uther and the other Silver Hands stopped talking, and with their silence, the debate over military dominance ended...

"If everyone is okay, then by order of my father, I will now take over all the military. ”
