I don't know why, Arthas seems to hear deep helplessness and sadness from this wizard's words that are similar to Jiang Weihan's words. And Jiang Weihan's departure from the wizard made him feel as if Luo Danlun had been abandoned by fate.

He looked at his stubborn father and thought: If I were king, I would be willing to prepare for possible disasters. Because once Jiang Weihan's words with this wizard are confirmed, then the unprepared Lordaeron Kingdom will fall into an irreparable abyss.

Listening to the rhetoric of the ministers around him, Arthas felt a pang of distraction.

"My country is indeed decaying and dying." He looked at his old father, his hair had turned silver-gray, and he was no longer as wise and martial as he used to be, "I must do something for her, no matter what it takes!" ”

Today's Lordaeron court is not destined to be peaceful. Not long after Medivan left, the throne room, which had just been restored, welcomed another uninvited guest.

A warrior dressed in the special service of a griffin knight walked in quickly, and opened his mouth to shock the entire throne hall: "Your Majesty, please save Stratholme!" ”

Terenus looked at the knight's chapped and dark lips, as if they had been frozen in the cold wind for a long time. He hurriedly comforted the valiant knight and said, "Get up, bring this knight some things and hot water." He instructed the guards, and then said to the knight, "Please sit down and speak slowly, what is the matter with Stratholme?" ”

The knight took the hot water cup brought by the guard, held it in the palm of his hand, and drank it all, he looked really hungry and thirsty. After drinking the water, he pushed away the snacks handed by the guards next to him, and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, the Cursed Sect used Nechon to release the plague in Stratholme. Before I left, hundreds of people were infected and turned into biting zombies! The situation continues to deteriorate, and His Excellency Saidan Da Sohan has ordered the blockade of the entire city, and he has sent me to inform him of the news and to ask His Majesty for help. ”

After listening to the griffin knight's detailed report, Terenus slapped himself below his knees in annoyance, and immediately said to Arthas beside him, "Son, you should go and catch up with the Valoran commander now, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Arthas, half understanding and half confused, asked, "But didn't you just refuse his help?" He should be furious by now. ”

Terenus looked deeply at the child he was proud of, and taught: "Remember, Arthas. As a king, I can turn down a person because there is no substantiated threat, and I can beg for help when the people are threatened by something we cannot handle. This is the political zhì. ”

Alsace perked up, agreed, and hurried to catch up.

……

After Jiang Weihan walked out of the throne hall, his mood was already much better.

"A group of mortals enslaved by the government." I don't know if Kyle's words are sarcastic or complaining, anyway, they all dispelled the haze in Jiang Weihan's heart.

Jiang Weihan smiled, "Don't say that, I'm mortal too, Kyle." ”

Kyle turned his head to look at him, making him a little strange, "What's wrong with my face?" ”

"No," Kyle shook his head solemnly, then said, "Are you so sure you're mortal?" ”

"Otherwise, it still won't be a god!" Jiang Weihan smiled. "Let's go back to Hinterland to start our reclamation plan, and watch me climb the technology farming, the violent army flow crushes the natural disaster demons such as Er!"

"What's that?" Kyle asked.

"Haha, it's just a witty word from my hometown."

When they were about to use the teleportation technique to leave, the voice of the ** master sounded behind them.

"Please stay, Ginger!"

Antonidas hurried to catch up.

"Jiang, and Kyle," the ** master breathed a sigh of relief and walked side by side with them, "It's good to be young, I'm an old bone, and I'm tired like this when I'm in a hurry to take a few steps." ”

"Don't say that, you're still getting stronger." Jiang Weihan said with a smile.

Antonidas let out a hearty laugh and, after the necessary politeness, began to get down to business: "I'm sorry that Terenus didn't know much about the situation, so I rejected your offer. But I know him, he's not a stubborn person, he's very responsible, and he'll apologize to you when he figures it out. At the end he added, "I promise you!" ”

"I believe in you. Hopefully, the world will give him enough time to figure it out. Jiang Weihan smiled and said that he didn't take it to heart.

"But my promise is still valid," said Antonidas earnestly, "though this meeting is not pleasant, and your joining the alliance will be delayed for the time being, but as I have said, Dalaran is happy to ally with your Valoran—and our council may, after deliberation, give you Tarenmere by the castle of Dunhold as a domain. ”

Jiang Weihan asked, "Then what are the conditions?" ”

"Don't worry, my friend, the council has come up with a win-win condition: Dalaran is allied with Valoran, and you can learn our spells. In the same way, we need to know a little bit about the summoning mage system that you have at your disposal. ”

"It's a win-win indeed." Jiang Weihan was a little surprised, Talenmir is not a small place, but is it the territory of Dalaran? He had the impression that Dalaran was the city that had been staying in the Purple Law Enchantment. So he raised his own questions.

**Shi laughed: "My friend, you underestimate Dalaran too much. In fact, the area around Dalaran is under our protection. Moreover, in the last war, because of Alterac's betrayal, its territory was divided among the Union countries. Talenmir was divided among Dalaran at the meeting at that time. However, as an enclave, it was too close to Dunhold Castle, which was overseen by the Alliance, so we only sent a few mage representatives, which were actually used by Lordaeron. But I believe that when we ask for sovereignty back, Terenus will not refuse. ”

"As you say, I can't refuse such a win-win alliance." Jiang Weihan readily agreed.

"Then let's go to Dalaran first, I promise they'll welcome you." ** The division activated the group teleportation technique, and the figures of the three of them suddenly disappeared from the Lordaeron Palace.

The prince who chased him out didn't find anyone, and finally got the news from the guards: his target had been a guest with the ** division to Dalaran.

Realizing that Stratholme's affairs were critical, Arthas immediately went to the court mage and asked him to help him deliver a message to express his intentions.

……

After Blox's resurrection as a Death Knight, Kel'thugad was overjoyed with his masterpiece. This orc is so powerful both in soul and **, and he is the most powerful of the death knights he has ever seen.

Kel'thugad looked at Brooks, "As a death knight, you're missing a runic weapon and a skeleton horse. But I was prepared. He pulled out a rune greataxe from his space pouch, "Brooks, from the moment you accept this rune axe, your soul will always be loyal to the Great Lich King, whether you live or die. ”

"Yes, my master. I'm going to clear the way for the Lich King. Brooks' lingua franca had a thick orc accent, and as he took the runic axe, he felt that it was like an extension of his arm, fitting perfectly with him and wielding it with ease.

The resurrected orc's heart was full of hatred and evil, and the orc who valued glory more than life in his life has disappeared without a trace.

"And then there's the mount," Kel'thugad looked at Rivendell beside him, "Baron, your horse is good. ”

Baron Rivendell offered his beloved warhorse with the right acquaintance. Under the effect of necromancy, the war horse screamed, the originally smooth fur quickly decayed, the spiritual eyes turned into two holes emitting evil red light, and a pair of sharp horns were born on the skull.

"This horse that never gets tired, never rests, never eats is yours, my Death Knight."

"Thank you for the gift, master." Blox stepped on the stirrup and rode up, he felt that he was born to fight on such a death horse, his former self was so stupid that he had not joined the great Lich King sooner—hadn't Neozu always been the spiritual leader of the orcs? Now he has finally returned to "orthodoxy".

"Where do we go next?" Rivendell asked.

"To the south, Talenmere has a friend of mine."

The joy of having a group of powerful orc helpers diluted some of Kel'thugad's failures, and he believed that after going to the south, his career would soon recover, and even grow rapidly.

However, the truth is somewhat different from what he thinks.

The next day, they were approached by a strange woman in a leather suit and red sunglasses. If it weren't for Brooks' quick reflexes and his rune axe to block a crossbow arrow from a distance, Kel'thugad might have turned into a corpse before he finished his business.

After confirming that she was the only one, an enraged Kel'thugad sent several of the transformed orc undead to kill the dastardly sneak attacker, but he misjudged the strength of the strange huntress, and the three orcs were killed by the bolts fired from the huge crossbow in her hand - a real death. The bolt had some strange power on it, and the undead who were shot were as if they had been ignited, and they quickly turned to ashes.

Kel'thugad was later preparing to kill the offender with a spell, but he failed. The woman had always been able to deftly avoid his spells by means of guò tumbling and jumping.

As a last resort, he had to have Brooks come forward and pester the huntress and kill her as much as he could - at least so that she didn't have a chance to call for help. Now they are in Lordaeron's territory, and if they bring in a large group of soldiers, they will be exposed.

"What an abominable woman, if you dare to chase you at night, I don't mind letting you be tortured before turning you into one of us!"

Kel'thugad cursed silently in his heart, and then took advantage of the time that Blox's had bought to flee quickly.

Obviously, he didn't know enough about the title of this strange woman - this was the Night Hunter - Wayne!
