The morning sun rises and spills over the entire continent.

After a night of sleep, Kael'thas and Lord Forstad set out on the snowy mountains of Alterac with some elves and griffon knights gathered from Hinterland.

Last night, Varian and Kael'thas spent half the night convincing the kings one by one, and this morning they were ready for action.

Varian and the others still had to prepare, while Kael'thas and Lord Forstad arrived early in the morning, heading north.

They arrived in the capital of Alterac at breakfast time, but they were somewhat surprised by what appeared before them.

Refugees in a mess, and soldiers with gloomy looks.

"What's going on?"

Kael'thas had a sense of foreboding.

Mograini then greeted them with a bad face and took them to breakfast.

"Where's Kalia?"

During this time, Kael'thas strangely did not see Kalia.

"She"

Mograini opened his mouth, then stopped:

"I'll tell you what happened last night."

In this way, the changes that had taken place in Lordaeron, the deaths of Terenus and Uther, were all laid out.

Mograini had returned to Alterac last night on Uther's orders, protecting Kalia while gathering his soldiers to prepare for Lordaeron.

Less than half an hour after his return, news of Terenus' death came from Uther's hands.

When Kalia heard the news, she froze.

She was mad trying to break free from Mograini's limitations. Ran to see her parents.

But this was finally held back by Mograini.

However, the nightmare had only just begun, and half an hour later, as the soldiers of Alterac were preparing to move forward, Lordaeron received the latest news.

Uther was killed in battle, and Lordaeron was reduced to ruins, and the man who carried it all out was Prince Arthas, who had become a Death Knight.

The news overwhelmed everyone, and Kalia couldn't accept the blow and fainted on the spot.

She was unconscious. The soldiers who had managed to gather in Alterac stopped again.

"Comatose?"

Kael'thas stood up suddenly.

"She's not awake yet?"

His face was full of worry.

Although Kael'thas was shocked by Arthas's affairs when he heard the information just now, he still forcibly resisted the shock and turned his attention to Kalia.

Akmund has come. Nothing else could withstand his threats.

And now the hardest hit is not Kael'thas, but Kalia, who has lost her family.

"Yes."

Mograini nodded. Then hesitated.

"Princess Gianna is taking care of her."

He added.

"Princess Gianna?"

Now, it was the turn of Lord Vorstad to be surprised:

"Isn't she dead?"

Surviving princess, this is great news for Kul Tiras's aid.

Gianna found the team after Caria fainted, and Mograini had the message passed on early in the morning.

"Admiral Dai Lin should receive this news soon."

He said.

Reassured, Folstad accompanied Kael'thas to visit Kalia, and they did not bring their people with them.

But they were stopped by some guards and nobles and were not allowed to enter Kalia's room.

Outside the entire room, nearly a thousand paladins and soldiers were closely arranged, as well as many nobles.

The nobles spoke with great thought:

"Her Royal Highness the princess is resting, please don't disturb you!"

After the upheaval of Lordaeron. Kalia became the only heir to Alterac and Lordaeron, and was naturally guarded by people with different minds. …,

"Get out of the way."

Mograini forcefully chased the men, and then managed to escort the two to the door.

Another paladin stopped them.

"Please stay."

The paladin, who had a gentle smile, Belluker, spoke:

"Her Royal Highness the princess needs to rest, and she doesn't need so many people to go in and disturb her."

He bowed to Kael'thas and moved out of the way.

"I guess you can go there alone."

Kael'thas glanced at him with strange eyes. Nodded lightly and went in.

Vorstad and Mograini stopped with a wry smile.

"You're not like anyone else."

Mograine said to Beluker - this meant that he was the only one who let the elven prince in.

"Where"

The young paladin smiled and shook his head:

"I'm just serving the daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess"

[He must have wanted to address Her Majesty in the first place.] 】

Even those on the outside are aware of this hint.

As it stands, Kalia is bound to be the queen of all of them, and she is the only one who is qualified

The vast majority of people acquiesce to this kind of thing.

Naturally, the people of Alterac would not resist the queen's accession, and the nobles who had fallen from Lordaeron wanted to keep their position. can only be loyal to the original royal family.

Plus that prophecy

Of course, Kael'thas didn't know about the prophecy.

When he entered the room, he found Kalia lying on the bed, and Gianna was already exhausted on the edge of the bed.

Kael'thas walked over gently, carefully placed Gianna on the back of the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He looked down at Kalia and gently brushed the shredded hair from her forehead.

[Why are you frowning?]

Kael'thas wondered how he had never expected that Kalia would suffer so much before him.

"Brother"

Sensing the familiar aura, Kalia slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze faltered, and then her focus was on Kael'thas .

Tears slid down her face. Silently dotted on the pillow.

"Brother, Woo, Father, they're all dead"

Kalia whimpered and began to cry.

Growing up, Kael'thas had only seen the child cry once.

That time, it was when she became a paladin.

"I know I know Kalia, you're the strongest"

Kael'thas touched Kalia's face with his hand and wiped away her tears:

"Don't cry, they don't want to see you cry either"

But this once strong human princess still can't stop her tears at this moment.

Tears wiped and came again. Dry and wet

Kael'thas could only say nothing, quietly accompanying her

It wasn't until several hours later that Kalia couldn't cry anymore. She fell into a deep sleep.

“”

Kael'thas stood up and headed for the door.

Another figure followed him, Gianna.

"When did you wake up?"

Kael'thas is slightly strange. Lowered his voice and asked.

Gianna's eyes were slightly red.

"I've been awake for a long time, I don't dare to move"

She replied in a whisper, and then asked with some concern:

"Is Sister Kalia alright?"

Kael'thas glanced back.

Kalia fell asleep and was not woken up by the two.

"It's okay, she'll be back to the way she was when she gets up"

Kael'thas replied Gianna and then took her out.

Kael'thas understands Kalia's strength better than Gianna.

She has cried for so long, she will definitely pick herself up again.

After going out, Kael'thas reassured Mograini and Lord Vorstad, and he looked at the sky.

"Last night's team didn't disperse, did it?" …,

Kael'thas asked Mograine.

"Of course. Now that the situation is urgent, we can't let the gathered team disperse. ”

Mograini replied with certainty.

This relieved Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then prepare lunch, Kalia should be able to wake up at lunch."

He said:

"Let's all get ready, and we can leave for Lordaeron in the afternoon."

After a pause, Kael'thas added:

"Even if His Majesty Terenus leaves. The people of the land of Lordaeron cannot afford to delay. ”

From the capital of Lordaeron to Quel'Thalas, there are two huge areas that are now very dangerous.

Both Kael'thas and Kalia will do their best to protect these areas.

The Varian kings of the south are also actively moving.

It's reassuring. Intelligence indicates that Akmund is still in the Silverpine Forest.

People don't understand why he stopped, but it's not a cause for celebration.

Silver Pine Forest

A gray mist shrouded the verdant forest, and a huge boiler bubbled green in the flames.

"Master, according to the information provided by Naozu, this is the only thing that can be made."

The Dreadlord Tikdios reports to Akmund with several lichs.

"Well, this thing can only kill the person who drinks it."

Akmund said with a little disappointment:

"It seems that the time is too short, and those two guys have not yet researched a plague that can be killed on a large scale."

Tikdios rolled his eyes.

"Master, I have an idea."

His words caught Akmund's attention.

"Say."

The demon leader looked at this subordinate with interest.

"Master, didn't the Abyss Lord Manolos curse the orcs with blood before?"

Tikdios bowed his head respectfully and proposed:

"His chaotic and murderous blood, combined with the results of the current experiments, must be able to create the perfect murderous plague."

Brilliant idea

Akmund appreciated the idea.

"But now is not the time to summon Manolos."

He said with a slight mockery:

"There are no real enemies yet, and we don't need to summon so many demons."

Akmund reached out and tapped his hand with his fingernails, then dripped a drop of blood into the boiler.

The green plague immediately erupted into a blood-red foam.

The evil aura began to emanate, and after the human experimenters dozens of meters away smelled this breath, they began to explode one by one.

"Looks like my blood is not bad either"

Akmund nodded in satisfaction, and he looked at the humans who had turned into skeletons and stood up.

"But it seems to be too powerful"

"Break this pot into dozens of portions and give it to the Death Knight." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
