The heat transmitted from the Valoran heart in his chest woke up Jiang Weihan who was meditating. He probed the little thing with his consciousness, and found that it had suddenly absorbed more energy than the Cursed Sect of the Moving Kingdom—the abundant energy was enough to support a summoning. And he remembered very well that before that, he had absorbed less than half of the energy.

Something big must have happened, enough to keep up with something as big as the imminent destruction of the Cursed Sect!

Andohal remained calm.

"So, is it about the orcs?"

Jiang Weihan guessed in his heart. If Thrall had failed to rescue Itreig, maybe it would have had such a big impact on history, right?

He was a little unsure.

However, after daybreak, the cavalry from Stratholme brought a shocking news.

In the council chamber of the garrison, the cavalryman reported to the commander-in-chief, Dasohan, that "the leader of the orcs who participated in the robbery was killed in the duel with General Gavin Rad, and the orc Itreg did not escape. ”

He then described in detail what it was like:

Blox felt an axe infused with all his strength slash into the human leader's shoulder, and he was struck in the chest with a fierce blow from the opponent's warhammer. He held the handle of the axe tightly to keep himself from letting go, and he wanted to see the human being crushed before he died.

The furious axe sliced through Gavin Rad's heavy shoulder armor and tore through the chain mail inside, spurting blood and excruciating pain, causing him to lose sensation in his left hand, which was holding the handle of the hammer.

Gavinrad thought he was going to die, and darkness and fear took over his heart. But the next moment he found himself still alive, the great axe stuck in his shoulder, not completely tearing him in half - but it was close, he could feel the blood flowing into his left lung, he could barely breathe, and a large amount of blood clots choked out of his mouth and nose.

Before his consciousness went dark, he saw a noticeable collapse in the chest of the orc he had struck. As you can imagine, the ribs and internal organs inside must have been a mess. Blood spurted from the other party's mouth as well.

The leaders of both sides fell to the ground.

The young orc warrior carrying Itrig on his back lowered him to the ground, then let out a roar of rage, picked up an axe from the ground, charged at the knights who surrounded them, and ...... was shredded.

Afterwards, with the help of doctors and priests, Gavinrad survived. The physician examined his wounds and the great axe, and told him that it was the large gap in the blade and his fine armor that saved him.

But the great paladin may not be able to set foot on the battlefield again, his internal organs are damaged, and even if he recovers, it is uncertain whether his left arm will be able to stretch freely.

Hearing the news of Brooks' death, Jiang Weihan fell silent.

This is an orc warrior. In its original history, he and his troops fought valiantly against the Burning Legion at the Battle of Mount Hyjal, buying precious time for the main force. After the end of the war, he accidentally traveled back to the time of the Ancient War with Ronin and Crassus, and helped the Night Elves repel the Burning Legion. And this warrior was sacrificed to the men of the leader of the Burning Legion, the Dark Titan Sargeras.

But the fact that he left a scar on this titan, who even the true gods could not compete with, with his mortal body is a glory like no other.

He was undoubtedly a hero to all of Azeroth - but now, the old warrior died in Stratholme before he became famous.

Jiang Weihan also felt a sense of guilt when he got the energy point of distorting history - if it wasn't for his reminder, maybe Itreig would have returned to Thrall, and Brooks would not have died in the failed prison robbery operation - the proper scene is full of scenes, and the No. 1 supporting actor with a perfect curtain call has now received a box lunch before he can shine......

Then he began to think that if Azeroth would still have such an operation to travel back to antiquity to save Azeroth in the future, then who would replace Broxs as the hero of the battle against Sargeras?

……

Grand Chief Sal got the news a little later than Jiang Weihan. Gasko, the young warrior with two orcs on fire, hurried to the prison to pick him up after completing his mission, but all he saw was the scene where Blox fell to the ground. Although his blood and anger wanted to drive him to rush towards the enemy, his reason finally extinguished the suicidal urge after seeing the two warriors who followed him.

They were to sneak back to the camp and report to the High Chief.

After quelling the riot in the prison, the human cavalry began to search for the arsonist. Both of the orcs who followed Gasko were killed in covering his actions, and he eventually managed to escape by burrowing into the sewers. When I returned to camp, it was already the evening of the next day.

Thrall had been estimating how long it would take, but all night he hadn't looked forward to returning warriors from his mission. It wasn't until after dawn that he had to send someone to investigate. Although he knew in his heart that the operation must have failed, before he got the news, he still had the illusion that Brooks and the others were still carefully lurking.

It wasn't until late evening that Gasco, scarred and covered in the smell of blood and stench, returned to the camp. He looked extremely tired, with blood on his chapped lips. There were huge wounds on his thick arms and chest that were still oozing blood.

After listening to the report, Sal sat down on the ground weakly, tears welling up in his eyes, and he blamed himself in grief: "It's all my fault. I killed Brooks, my good brother, and the warriors who followed him......"

Drektar hissed, "No, Thrall, it's humans who are too cunning. This was too unexpected. ”

Thrall shook his head, "No, we've been acting too smoothly all along—we've attacked so many shelters and saved so many people, but humans have been slow and unresponsive...... These confuse me and lead me into blind arrogance. But I forgot that everything I learned, military command, tactical arrangement, all came from human beings. We need to learn our lessons and be more cautious in the future. Alas, I am ashamed of them. If they listen to you, they will not die in vain. ”

"They won't die in vain," the old shaman patted the young chief on the shoulder, "We still have a long way to go, Sal, you can't be so depressed." I've heard that Brooks also has a younger brother named Warok Sarufar who is being held in a camp, and I think we-"

"Yes, we must get him out at any cost!" Sal touched the hammer of destruction beside him, his gaze firmly and authentic.

……

In the afternoon, Uther arrived at the temporary headquarters in Andohar with a group of men. When he entered the meeting, he went straight to the point:

"King Terenus has authorized me to direct this extermination of the Cult of the Damned. Archbishop Fao fell ill after returning to Lordaeron, and I brought a team of battle priests with me at Jiang's request. Admiral Dalin, how is your navy preparing? ”

Admiral Dai Lin said: "I have mobilized all the available warships in the vicinity, a total of 21 large and small ships. It's not as elite as my Kul Tiras Navy, but I can guarantee that those 'things' won't escape from the water. ”

Uther nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to the respected ** master Antonidas: "What about the mage troops?" ”

"It's already in place."

Then he looked at Jiang Weihan who was present: "Jiang, do you have anything to add?" His gaze lingered on Kyle beside him for a moment, although someone had already reported to him the day before yesterday that Jiang had an angelic companion, but when he saw it for the first time today, he still couldn't hide his surprise - he could feel the pure and majestic power of holy light from the other party's body, more powerful than anyone he had seen before.

Jiang Weihan replied: "I have already said what I can say before. The Cult of the Damned has trained a large number of acolytes and warlocks underground, many of whom have dealt with orc warlocks before, and they are basically the same type, but many of these warlocks have practiced necromancy and are more dangerous than orc warlocks. It's also important to emphasize that Kel'thugad isn't fighting alone, he has the Lich King behind him, as well as some powerful Dreadlords, so no one should take the situation lightly until the situation is settled. ”

Uther nodded in understanding, then he looked at Prince Arthas and said very sincerely: "Prince, this time the operation is very dangerous, as the future heir of this kingdom, I hope you will not risk joining the battle on the front line. As a good leader, you should learn how to command, and as for tasks like combat, leave it to us! ”

Arthas was a little unwilling, he looked at Gianna and defended: "This is not an ordinary battle, how can I, as a prince, retreat from the battle?" The Proudmoors are fighting for us, and I can't stand idly by. Besides, my father agreed, didn't he? ”

Uther said, "The king's order is for me to protect you, and it does not include that you go into battle yourself—so that I will not be able to do my duty." ”

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm not going to be impulsive." Arthas interrupted Uther's persuasion. But he was not reconciled, and after the battle began, he had his own plans. He's not a coward hiding from someone else's back.

In preparation for this battle, Uther mobilized more than 3,000 troops. Most of them were members of the Knights of the Silver Hand, plus more than eight hundred naval forces, a hundred or so battle priests, and a similar number of mage troops from the courts of Dalaran and Lordaeron. According to the surveillance of the Eye of Scouting, it can be estimated that the number of cursed sects in the psychic academy is about three hundred - this is the number of acolytes and warlocks. As for the number of undead troops, they were about a thousand or so, and among them were some newly created gargoyles and abominations—giant undead creatures stitched together from various corpses and then cast necromancy.

……

Kel'thugad has always felt something abnormal lately, and he checked the information collected by his eyeliner in the past two days: the Knights of the Silver Hand lined up a large number of people to clear the Orcs near Andorhar; Nearby navies have rallied to prepare for an exercise; A small group of orcs failed to rob Stratholme; The Prince of Arthas is on his way to this side after leaving Lordaeron......

Taken together, he immediately realized: Something was wrong!

He felt the trembling of his soul, and if it was still the original human body, he would be drenched in a cold sweat by now - but now this body transformed by the Lich King could no longer feel warmth or cold, nor could he feel pain.

- But now it is clear that these armies, the navy and the knights, are coming towards him!
