He's gone, and the demons who believe he stayed here and the remnants of the undead aren't making waves for a short time. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I seem to feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief for a while. So he relaxed and lay on the ground and took a fresh look at what was going on.

'Melganil wants me to go to Northrend'

Whether you want to go or not is indeed a question worth thinking about. He sent me there for a clear purpose, he wanted me to go there and then lead me into a desperate situation according to his plan, and then force me to pull up the frost sorrow, and then become their puppet, and then....

I couldn't help but shake my head at the thought of this outcome, as if I could choose to escape, because after such a sneak attack by the Scourge Legion, we had completely developed antibodies, which made them no longer capable of creating panic like today. I am so confident that there is a warrant, after all, we can force him back to the north, if we give it our all, this demon has no chance of winning, and I also believe that if those ancient dragons knew about the appearance of the Dreadlord, then they would at least secretly support us, such as sending more powerful creatures like Crassus to support us.

When I think of this, I can't help but feel completely at ease.

However, when I saw Crassus's dragon form carrying those companions flying towards my place in the distance, I thought that maybe it was a little too conservative....the current development is not as bad as it was remembered. First of all, Stratholme wasn't slaughtered, and it didn't affect my will much at all, and secondly, in terms of emotional crisis... Well, it's not that serious, or not so desperate, because the one I love is still following me, so it's still hard for me to imagine that he can lead me in that direction, and thirdly, and most importantly, our current strength may be much higher than the current Scourge Legion, and in terms of personal strength alone, Crassus is also far stronger than Melganil, yes, as long as the Red Dragon Mage joins us in the Northern Expedition, and when I get there to seek the help of the Blue Dragon Karegos, I can't imagine that there is a possibility of losing, and if I am lucky, I can get a piece of continental territory, because I'm sure the elves don't like such a cold and barren place as a place for their survival....

I stood up at this point, yes I seemed to be more convinced of the Northern Expedition, and besides, it occurred to me that the only chance of failure was if they could summon a big guy like Akmund or Kilgardan, but then again, if they really had that ability or plan, then our best thing to do was to eliminate them as soon as possible.

I thought about it again, and felt that it was possible, so I told them about the plan as soon as my companions arrived, without waiting for them to ask about it.

"I think we're going to go to Northrend and destroy the demons and their minions once and for all, just like the expeditionary force back then. "I put forward my opinion to everyone, and no one expressed clear opposition to it, except for a little concern and addition.

"I think it's a devil's trick, and it's as if he's luring us to the north. "Weunresa was the first to express her opinion, yes, she was not objecting, but only rationally proposing some understanding, to which I certainly had to use rational understanding to persuade this voice.

"He thinks we're unacquainted, but he's overlooked that we have a good guide, Crassus, and Karegoth, who lives there, and you dragons should be more familiar with it than demons. "I turned to the Red Dragon Mage, who was transforming into a human form, and he may have been exposed in front of the public, so he looked a little unhappy.

"Arthas, don't be too confident, Karegos won't necessarily help you. Crassus transformed into human form again and walked into my path.

"You're worried that the Blue Dragons will be subject to their madness..."

"Yes, Arthas. "Crassus didn't wait for me to finish, he just grabbed the topic, he probably didn't want me to reveal more about the dragons. "But I'm familiar with the terrain and can help. ”

Seeing that Crassus would follow me, I had a smug smile in my heart, yes...

"That's enough, after all, there's only one Dread Demon to face. ”

As I said, no one seemed to question the decision of the Northern Expedition anymore, and the next step was to discuss how to conduct the campaign, such as supplies and rations.

"But our army is not enough for the Northern Expedition. ”

"Of course it's not enough, I'll secondment half of Lordaeron's troops first, and I'm sure my father won't oppose me. ”

"And the Gilneth front?"

"The orcs will hold them back, and even if they only have half of the troops, I believe that against Gilneth they will even..."I took it for granted to explain the countries that are not friendly with us in Lordaeron, but I almost said Quel'Thalas in front of Sylvanas, but luckily I have other shields for me to complete this sentence" Fort Riptide and their coalition forces are not a problem. ”

"But how do we transport so many troops to the north?"

"I will ask my father to send some large troop carriers and frigates to support this war. ”

"Thank you so much. "I was overjoyed to hear Gianna's full support for this operation, and yes, I was so excited not because of the support of her country, but because I thought that I would not seem to be alone even in the most tragic of settlements.....

I was so excited, but I seemed to behave a little differently from her, which made her a little angry. "I mean, it's necessary. I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart, and it wasn't until Sylvanas's cold words that I immediately regained my composure.

"I think you've got some more to attend to. ”

"What's the matter?" I looked at the elf suspiciously, in fact, I really hoped that he meant my relationship with her, but the reality was another relationship that gave me a headache, she pointed to the smoke and dust in the southwest direction, yes, they elves can always see things that we can't see. "Your master, Uther, has arrived, and some of the villagers have already reported to him the mistake you have just made here. ”

"Mistake?" I wondered for a moment, but my dishonest performance drew a burst of sneer from Sylvanas.

"Arthas, don't think that I didn't see on the back of the red dragon that you and your own soldiers had just slaughtered some of the people who were in your way, and that you had already gone to Uther for the rest of your life. ”

"Damn!" my smile vanished when I heard this, yes, I had seriously violated his faith by doing so, and maybe he wouldn't give up on me this time.

Before they arrived, I gathered my troops and waited for them. The soldiers and guards of the other barracks were overjoyed when they heard that Uther was coming, for they thought that this exhilarating general would surely boast of their hard work and service to the country these days. But this is not the case. Uther, with his main army, almost ten times outnumbered us, surrounded us like a band of bandits. And on his face full of anger, the soldiers immediately felt that something was wrong, and even showed a look of vigilance between the two sides.

I'm not surprised at all, and I don't believe that we're going to do it together, at least not between soldiers... Because it's all about me and Uther.

"General, you seem to be late. ”

"Yes, I don't see you committing sin. In the face of my slightly mocking tone, Uther, who was already angry, was even more angry at me: "Arthas! ”

"You didn't see the situation at the time, if our department kills those wizards as soon as possible, those few citizens who complain to you may be undead. ”

"You're still making excuses for yourself, remember the oath you made to the Light?"

"Protecting one's own people is not a slogan, but an action, is it wrong to exchange the least loss for the maximum result!"

"That's what you're talking about?"

"At least I'm worthy of my conscience. ”

"Hmph, if they are all infected with the plague, are you going to slaughter them?"

"As a last resort, I'll do the same. "It seemed like I could tell him the truth when I heard Uther say that, and of course it would escalate our quarrel further, at least, we would be less sarcastic about each other.

"Arthas!"

"Uther! You haven't fought the undead, and you haven't even seen those creatures, so you don't know what they'll look like when they're infected and guided by demons. ”

"Like you?"

"Well, General, I don't want to argue with you, but I want you to recognize the situation and make comments. ”

"Of course I have to find out what is going on, and I have to tell your father about what you are doing here. ”

"That's the best, but I don't have time to waste here, and I'm going to take the troops you brought with me to get justice from the demons. ”

"I order in the name of the Lordaeron General that you cannot move any more troops. ”

"You have no right to be arbitrary, Uther, and we have no subordinate relationship without our master-apprenticeship, and I am sure that you will obey my orders after all. ”

"Arthas, if you do something unseemly, who will obey your commands! ”

Uther pointed her finger at me, and I hesitated, but when I summoned a burst of light, I seemed to feel that this divine power had no intention of abandoning me, so I was emboldened to make the last choice I wanted, which was to raise my hammer.

"But I'm sorry, the Light didn't tell you what it did. I shook my head at him, and I did think I wasn't doing anything wrong, but since I couldn't solve the problem, it was the only way to go. "I don't want to do that either, but if that's the only way to convince you..."

Because my quarrel with Uther was about to escalate into a confrontation, Gianna, the only one who could speak, finally stopped me from continuing, perhaps she thought I could say this paladin, or that it wouldn't get to this point.

"Arthas, you can't do this, he's your master, how can you do that?"

"Because I need a group of fighters to help me with the Northern Expedition, you know. ”

"Then I can get my father to send some—" said Gianna, but before she could finish my sentence, I motioned for him not to say such a thing.

"This Northern Expedition is purely voluntary, if you want, you can come to me to sign up. But I want you to know that this Northern Expedition is no less significant than the one organized by Tulayan, and of course I swear in the name of the Light that I will try to bring you back as much as I can. ”

As I said this, I ignored Uther and motioned to us, the soldiers and companions who had come all the way, to leave the place and turn into the city of Stratholme.

As for the other soldiers who surrounded us, naturally they did not dare to stop us in any way, yes, they were not the troops of lords like Dunhold, but the direct army of Lordaeron. Even if their obedient general gave us an order to put us under house arrest, they would weigh whether or not to carry it out. What's more, Uther only expressed indignation and disappointment at me, and would not have wanted to fight me with a sword at all, so naturally they would not stand in my way.

After a few of our buddies saluted him, they all followed me and went in that direction together.

Although I looked so resolute, I couldn't help but feel some chagrin and remorse for what had just happened, yes, Uther was in such a hurry to lead the main force of Lordaeron to Stratholme, precisely because he heard that I was in danger here, maybe if he hadn't seen those Stratholme refugees, I believe that it was probably me and him who had entered the city happily now, but the reality was that the two of us were still stiff on the battlefield....

In fact, I really hope that it will be the last time, hopefully, then I had better prove the meaning of this time with my own actions.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that our relationship seems to have a better ending than the plot suggests, where I revoked her from office. But on the other hand, if I had removed him at that time, would he have given me those commands this time?

I quickly shook my head and dismissed the idea, as it would hurt the paladin's heart even more. However, this will not solve my current problem, because I don't seem to be able to take more troops, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the strength of my Northern Expedition, and even bankrupt the Northern Expedition plan.

I walked in anger and helplessness, and when I walked into the city and looked at the devastated city and the citizens who still survived and remained more or less vigilant against us, I still felt that maybe I was still a little wrong, yes, at least I really did something sorry for the people, maybe just maybe, if I hadn't given the order to massacre the citizens, or if I had ordered the release of the people in the first place, it might not have been like this.

It may have been that Gianna recognized my remorseful look, and she walked in and relieved me.

"Arthas, I think you should have a good talk to Uther, after all, as you said, he hasn't seen undead creatures..."

"Well, let's hope he's not too stubborn. "I couldn't help but look at Sylvanas as I said this, yes, I instinctively thought of the other person who was cold with me, but looking at her still cold, it seemed like I shouldn't be expecting anything. "I think I'll find a chance to talk to him. ”

"He will give you a chance, but it is all for the sake of face, after all, no one will doubt that he will not desperately save you when you are in danger, otherwise how could he do his best to lead his troops and come here from afar. Gianna also looked at Sylvanas, as if there was some pun intended.

"Hopefully. I replied with mixed feelings, and Gianna continued to encourage me.

"You have to believe that the feelings of the past are not so easy to break. After she had said this, she turned to Crassus, "Master, let's go to Kurtiras together, and tell my father the news of the Northern Expedition, so that he can support our ships and food for the Northern Expedition." ”

"Yes, I understand. ”

Crassus then created a portal, and when the two men entered, they completely disappeared. I may have some understanding of Gianna's intentions, that is, to let me take advantage of this time to redeem some things that may be salvageable.
