Lady Aurelia's sister, Lady Winlessa, was not well acquainted with Anduin Lothar, but she was no more than an ordinary High Elf Ranger, not even a great warrior - she was still too young for the High Elves.

In orc territory, perhaps Lady Winlessa can successfully lurk, and perhaps Mograine can escape with her whole body, but if you want to keep Arthas safe...... These two people are far from enough, not to mention the possibility of a red dragon in Zài......

Then King Terenus must have relied on the mysterious maiden - there was another reason for Anduin Lothar's judgment - and that was the strange healing of King Darin's son.

Judging from the accounts of Uther and King Dalein, Drake Proudmoor at that time was so badly injured that even Uther, who had been a priest for many years and was extremely skilled in controlling the Light, could not do anything.

Anduin Lothar was surprised to learn that Prince Arthas had cured Drake in an unknown way; However, when he looked at King Terenus, Lothar saw only worry in the face of the ruler of Lordaeron.

Yes, worry, not surprise—King Terenus seemed to have anticipated these miraculous and strange actions of his son.

Anduin Lothar didn't know what was going on; Out of respect for King Terenus, he didn't intend to question the old man either.

The cavalry behind King Terenus was far as the eye could see, and the road on the hills of Hillsbrad was fairly wide, but the number of royal guards of Lordaeron was too large.

In the council chamber of the Clock Tower in Southsea Town, King Terenus quickly ended his discussion of the trip of the Prince of Arthas, and turned the conversation to agree on the next move of these armies in Southsea Town.

Given that the orc ships had been assured of total annihilation in the waters outside Nanhai Town, Lothar eventually built a siege and left King Dalin and his navy behind to garrison Nanhai Town and its vicinity, wary of small groups of orcs landing in canoes.

The remaining army, more than 20,000 cavalry, including the Iron Horse Brotherhood, the Knights of the Silver Hand, and the Royal Guard of Lordaeron, all rushed to the human army garrison at the northern end of the Sador Bridge after resting.

Anduin Lothar's opinion is consistent with the opinion of the Prince of Alsace as relayed by Uther and others—it is very simple that since it is impossible to land at the town of Nanhai, the orcs can only focus on the fortress of Dammod.

While it's unlikely that the orcs will be able to capture Dammod Fortress anytime soon, if these green-skinned monsters really plan to fight the Alliance forces in Dammod Fortress...... Perhaps it is possible to take advantage of the situation to advance the time of the general attack.

That's right, this is Anduin Lothar's idea of building a fortress that takes advantage of the location of the fortress of Dammod and launches a general assault on the orc army there.

Such a bold construction would naturally cause controversy, and Melras Tulayan of the Knights of the Silver Hand objected, believing that now was not the time for a counter-attack.

Anduin Lothar admits that Tulayan's words are reasonable, even with the addition of more than 20,000 cavalry, and the army of Fort Riptide, the coalition forces may not be able to gain an advantage in the battle against the orc army.

In any case, whether it was out of the possibility of a counterattack, or out of support for the kingdom of Stormgard, and the possible loss of the fortress of Dammod, everyone involved in the deliberations unanimously agreed that these elite forces should be marched into the Arathi Heights.

Of course, this is not an easy thing to do - King Solas of Riptide Castle...... The reason why the army had to travel overnight was because King Anduin Lothar and King Terenus had to send a messenger to Fort Rapids with a letter signed by King Solas himself.

The letter explains the situation in the town of Nanhai, as well as the instructions of King Terenus and Anduin Lothar on the upcoming military operations of the Alliance.

While it was unlikely that King Solas would deny Lordaeron and Stormwind the combined forces to enter the Arathi Heights, King Terenus decided to postpone the departure of the army and set the march for this afternoon.

Anduin Lothar and King Terenus nodded to each other from afar, but the old king did not stop and continued his march with his men.

Varian asked his teacher a little puzzled, "Teacher Lothar, what are we waiting for here?" Anduin Lothar looked at the smoke and dust raised from the tail of the cavalry, shook his head, and did not speak.

Although it had already set out in the afternoon, the march of the army was not fast. Lady Aurelia Windranger and her fellow Ranger marched in front of the human cavalry - despite their quick gait, most of the High Elves could only walk on horseback, and the human cavalry had to slow down as much as possible to take care of their speed.

It was already nightfall, and the army was about to reach the Wall of Soladin at the junction of the Hills of Hillsbrad and the Arathi Highlands. Despite being a direct descendant of the Arathas Empire, Anduin Lothar had no affection for the land.

In Anduin Lothar's heart, his homeland has always belonged only to the lush Elwyn Forest and the vast western wilderness. But now, after the loss of his homeland and the death of his old friend and monarch, Anduin Lothar is once again facing those invaders from afar, which makes him feel a little complicated.

The cavalry brigade stretched endlessly, and a royal guard of Lordaeron, dressed in heavy plate armor, wearing a white battle robe, and embroidered with a double-headed eagle pattern on his chest, leaned forward slightly, skillfully urging the war horse under his crotch to move forward slowly.

In addition to being elite soldiers, the royal guards of Lordaeron are also the guard of honour of the royal family of Lordaeron, so their marches are much more neat than other armies, in addition to being majestic and mighty.

Varian looked at it with envy, and secretly made up his mind that one day, he would definitely get himself such a majestic army.

Anduin Lothar, the supreme commander of the Stormwind Kingdom, remembered the Stormwind soldiers who followed him when he set out on a campaign against the Cursed Lands.

The Cursed Lands - The first place in the world of Azeroth where orcs first appeared, and home to these green-skinned monsters. Although King Ryan did not want to transfer his elite troops out of Stormwind while the situation was unclear, Anduin Lothar convinced his friend.

It's something Anduin Lothar still regrets - to this day, he still recalls in his sleep the sight of Ryan Ureon standing in front of the gates of Stormwind, hanging the shoulder strap of the Supreme Commander's authority on his shoulder armor.

The white ribbon, fastened to the shoulder armor with a shield-shaped buckle, is still worn by Anduin Lothar today; The golden-yellow plate armor that symbolized glory, and the robe with a lion's head embroidered on the chest with gold on a blue background, he also brought it with him in the army this time.
