Act IV: Knights of the Black Blade II
As a child, Arthas had imagined how powerful it would be to give orders from the throne when he became king, and although the Assassin Arthas had his wish, the entire court was empty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A sound of footsteps rang out from outside the court, causing Arthas to look up at the entrance.
Locke had already followed Kel'thugad into the royal court, and for some reason, there were not many corpses in Lordaeron's royal city, and the smell of blood in the air had diminished a lot.
"Your Majesty." x3
Sylvanas raised his head: "King Arthas, Locke was able to transform into a human, and just now when he entered the royal city of Lordaeron, he turned back into an undead. ”
Arthas said in a hoarse voice, "This, the Lich King has already told me, that Locke's situation is special, that's all. ”
The royal court fell into a dull air for a while.
Locke took a step forward, and he looked at Arthas on the throne: "I ask for territory, the Eastern Plaguelands, and the Wraith Lands. ”
"I can't live in the Tirisfara Glades for long, I have to get my territory."
An icy chill emanated from the blade of Frostmourn's sword, followed by Arthas's icy tone, "Why. ”
Locke raised his head and looked at Arthas, who was sitting on the throne not far away, "I have made a great contribution to the Scourge Legion, and I deserve to be rewarded!" ”
There was silence in the royal court, and Arthas's mind remembered the days when he was a child, when he lived in Quel'Thalas, and according to the legal division, the Wraith Forest belonged to Quel'Thalas, and it was also the traditional territory of trolls, but the Eastern Plaguelands......
That territory, once the vast granary of Lordaeron, on which five cities were built, and although there were still remnants of the Silver Hand there, Arthas knew very well that the Silver Hand was nothing more than a bunch of defeated dogs.
"The Eastern Plague doesn't belong to you, but I can call the shots in the Land of Spirits for you." Arthas looked at Locke and said, "But there are conditions for gaining territory. ”
"There are a large number of remnants of the Silver Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands, and you must destroy them quickly before you can gain dominion over the Wraith Lands."
Locke nodded, he had planned to go to the Wraith Lands to clear the Silver Hand of the Eastern Plaguelands, so that the Silver Dawn would not resurgce and the Scarlet Crusaders would form a scale.
"Of course, I will destroy the believers of the Light." Locke said in a hoarse tone, "However, I want to establish a knight order. ”
Arthas said, "Knights? ”
Locke said: "A knight order belonging to the Death Knights, this knight order has extremely powerful power, it is a sharp weapon belonging to the Scourge Legion, and will sweep away all enemies who dare to stand in front of the Scourge Legion." ”
Arthas stood up from his throne, his eyes full of reward, and it was clear that the order had formed a preliminary idea in Arthas's mind a long time ago: "Tell me about it carefully." ”
"We can emulate the organizational structure of the Knights of the Silver Hand and create our own Knights, the name of which I have already come up with, the Knights of the Black Blade."
"Those paladins who are still resisting in the Eastern Plague Lands will become members of the Knights of the Black Blade, including, of course, the Ashbringers." Locke said slowly.
Arthas nodded: "Then I canonize Locke as the Earl of Oman, and the fief is in the Land of Ghosts." ”
"Stand down, eradicate the silver hand of the Eastern Plague Land as soon as possible, and the Scourge Legion will grow stronger sooner."
Locke withdrew from the royal court.
Sylvanas was slightly stunned by the exchange just now, and she immediately said, "King Arthas, I hope to be able to return to Quel'Thalas and establish a stronghold of the Scourge there. ”
Arthas squinted his eyes slightly: "No, you don't have to go anywhere, go to the Silver Pine Forest in the south, to resist that "Generalissimo of Lordaeron" Galishers, I want you to let him know that the rebellion of the southern nobles he is entangled in will not succeed." ”
Sylvanas wanted to refuse, but the Lich King's oppression from her soul made her tremble slightly, and she crouched down in pain, and then said slowly, "Yes, my king, yes. ”
Soon only Arthas and Kel'thugad remained in the royal court.
"Locke was my student, and I know him better than anyone else. ”
"He definitely didn't simply go to the Eastern Plague Lands, because he was able to turn into a human, maybe he had some other plan."
Arthas nodded, and then he gave the order: "Kel'thugad, I want you to lead a Scourge legion to support Locke, with Locke's strength alone, I don't think he can defeat the Knights of the Silver Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands." ”
"Remember to bring the Necropolis to Naxxramas, I'm sure the Knights of the Silver Hand will be surprised by our new fortress."

Locke rode his Nightmare Horse towards the Eastern Plaguelands, and in fact, all of the Scourge legions he led from Kalimdor had been sent to Hinterland.
The only person who could be at Locke's side was Vivica. Locke shrugged his shoulders, in fact, in Locke's plan, he didn't plan to deal with the Knights of the Silver Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands in the first place.
Instead, they wanted to settle the affairs of the Wraith Land first, such as the blood elves that remained in the land, and the allegiance of the forest trolls in Zuaman.
Locke was well aware of the rest of history, and in three months' time, Illidan would destroy the continental framework of Northrend in an attempt to kill the Lich King, which also led to remote Northrend.
Time is running out, and according to Locke's memories, this silver hand that remains in the Eastern Plague Land has finally grown stronger.
Not only have the Scarlet Crusaders swept through Lordaeron, but the Silver Dawn has also been established in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Locke knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for Kel'thugad's design to destroy the Ember Bringer, then there would be a very big mess in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Locke suddenly remembered Bridget, the girl of the Scarlet Crusader, what happened now, whether she would become a plaything in the hands of the Dreadlord as in history.
"Dreadlord Banazal, this time, I won't give you time to continue to grow stronger." Locke thought to himself.
The Nightmare Warhorse soon ran to the Eastern Plaguelands, and unlike Locke before, he has now returned to a human state, which is part of Locke's plan, and his first goal is to go to the Hand of Tyr to meet a man.
