When someone broke into Gianna's tent and told her that a monster had taken the form of the Prince of Arthas, then destroyed the magic circle and slaughtered the group of mages, she finally woke up from her blissful dream.

Turning into an Alsace-like monster?

She immediately remembered the Alsace who had come in with flowers in his hand and was so romantic that it didn't look like the original person. Then a terrible guess came to her mind - she realized that she might have made a terrible mistake.

"Quick, to the camp of the Prince of Arthas!"

Fortunately, the worst thing didn't happen. The Prince of Arthas fell asleep peacefully at his desk, completely unaware of the occurrence of this qiē. When he was woken up, he looked at the anxious Gianna in front of him with a confused face and asked, "Gianna, what's wrong?" ”

Gianna asked tentatively, "Do you remember what happened before you went to bed?" ”

Arthas rubbed his head and looked at Gianna and replied with some embarrassment, "I remember that Lord Barthrath of the Hearthvale came into my tent and said...... Say you have a bouquet of flowers for me. And then...... I don't remember...... How did I fall asleep? ”

At this time, the two teams of people who went out to carry out the secret mission of His Royal Highness the Prince entered the tent one after another.

Captain Farrick said, "Your Highness, we have completed the task you have entrusted us. Only two miscellaneous people saw that the situation was not good, and they escaped with a spell. ”

Bathras also said triumphantly, "We have also eliminated those cultists disguised as Master Dalaran, and there is not a single one left!" He emphatically recited the last few words to highlight his abilities. And the bloodstains on his body also seem to confirm his "bravery" on the side.

Ma Wen also asked suspiciously: "I saw a panic in the camp, what happened here?" ”

"You ...... What is it talking about? Arthas looked at them confused, completely unaware of what they meant.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Gianna's face was pale and her body was shaky.

"I, what kind of sin have I committed!" Unable to withstand such a blow, Gianna fell into a coma.

The forces of the Cult of the Damned return to the surface.

Uther, Admiral Dalin, and Antonidas** formed a provisional tribunal to interrogate those on the ground who had failed to conduct operations.

Jiang Weihan used the collected evidence to basically restore the real scene:

"Those monsters are called Dreadlords, and they can seduce other creatures and control their minds, or they can simply take on the form of other people. According to the evidence we have obtained, the demon first took the form of the Prince of Arthas outside the mage's camp and bewitched Batheras. Then he entered the camp of Arthas in the form of Bathras, and bewitched the prince. Then he used the image of the prince to set up the news of the other two secret mage camps, and then accused the prince of ordering the slaughter of the two secret camps to Bathras and his personal guard captains Farrick and Ma Wen, and then went to destroy the magic circle here, and then fled. ”

Although the sin of Yiqiē was caused by the Dreadlord of the Demon King, the massacre also included the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Knights of the Silver Hand, and Dalaran's mage army became the most direct victim. However, this time Kel'thugad's escape directly threatened all the kingdoms of the Alliance.

The two escaped mages return to camp and loudly accuse Farrick and Marven of their brutality, and the prince's guards, who thought they were on a glorious mission, became accomplices of the demons. The knights of the Silver Hand also faced such psychic torture.

A feeling of distrust floats among the major forces, testing the foundation of trust in the Lordaeron Alliance.

"So what can we do now?" Antonidas' harsh voice rang out.

The prince of Arthas sat in his place. A few days ago, he was the leader of the alliance on behalf of the kingdom of Lordaeron, but now he was interrogated like a sinner. Complicated feelings filled his chest, but there was nowhere to vent.

He clenched his fists and screamed with some self-defeat, "Find Kel'thugad, and destroy him once and for all!" ”

The crowd was silent. Arthas felt that they were silently despising him for being bewitched by the devil. Before he was about to burst out, Uther set his eyes on Jiang Weihan: "What do you think, Jiang?" ”

Jiang Weihan groaned: "There are several choices in front of us. The first is to search for Kel'thugad. When we meet him underground, the pot in front of him and the boiling green liquid in it are the plague they are going to use to destroy the world of Miè. And the best place to put this plague is to mix it into food, and everyone who eats this food will turn into zombies in a short time. That's why we need to scrutinize all kinds of food distribution centers, such as Andorhar, which is near us. ”

Uther nodded in agreement.

"At the same time, we need to crack the secrets of the plague. It's an evil magic. There are still some residual zombies in the Psychic Academy, as long as everyone does not avoid difficulties and parses the secrets of this plague, even if it is released at that time, we have the means to restrict it, rather than letting people become zombies. ”

Antonidas nodded, "Dalaran's alchemy room can provide support for this. ”

And then there's another way -- to destroy its source directly! The power of the Scourge comes from the Lich King Neozu, who is far away in Northrend. Although it has great power, it is also extremely limited. It has no real body, its soul is imprisoned in a magical ice crystal, and if we organize a powerful expeditionary force to destroy the Lich King in the Ice Crown, the Scourge will lose their soul pillars and become a fearless straggler. ”

Admiral Daelin immediately said: "The strong navy of Kurtilas is willing to escort the expeditionary force!" ”

"But you need to know that Northrend is now almost under the control of the Lich King. Its minions have conquered the ancient spider kingdom of Eldraine Nirub underground, resurrected a large number of frostbone dragons with their evil powers, and its master has sent some powerful Dreadlords to support it. So the expedition requires a large number of troops. ”

"Is it another big battle where the alliance comes together to fight against disaster?" Uther murmured, lost in the memories of the last bloody war with the orcs.

"I'll convince my father." Alsace is firmly authentic.

Today, only King Terenus in the alliance has enough prestige to renew the initiative to form a coalition expedition. However, there was great confidence in convincing the old king: for the wisdom and foresight of Terenus resounded in the alliance. It was he who took Sir Lothar's message seriously and launched an alliance against the orc invasion. And all the nations agreed with this king.

However, after the end of the last great war, the High Elves, Riptide Castle, and Gilneth all withdrew from the alliance one after another. Predictably, this time the initiative may not be so smooth.

"Jiang, would you like to come with us to the royal court to meet King Terenus? Maybe he needs to hear some of your opinions. Uther asked.

Antonidas also said: "Just to fulfill what I promised, I am willing to be the introduction of your Valoran to join the alliance." ”

Admiral Dai Lin asked, "By the way, where are your people now?" Now we've only seen you and the angel Kyle—"

Jiang Weihan replied, "I was about to summon them. Valoran's civilization has some differences from Azeroth, and as a summoner, I can build a portal in this world to summon them. However, this is limited by my ability, and now I can only summon a small number of people. ”

Antonidas' brow furrowed imperceptibly, the term portal reminded him of the fact that the orcs had come to their world through guò and brought great disaster to Azeroth. Although this mysterious Jiang Weihan doesn't look like a person with evil intentions, there are always some subconscious worries in his heart.

At this time, Jiang Weihan continued: "The people of Valoran are willing to fight for justice, but I also have the responsibility to ensure that they have a safe and happy land - don't get me wrong, I have no intention of being the king of this continent. I've actually been thinking about placing them in Kalimdo. ”

"Kalimdor?" At this time, no alliance fleet had crossed the maelstrom to discover that ancient continent, so the name was still unfamiliar to them.

Jiang Weihan explained: "It is another continent on the other side of the maelstrom that is no less than the size of the Eastern Kingdom. The home of the High Elves before they were banished. ”

Antonidas no longer had any concerns about the portal at this time, but said earnestly, "I understand your worries. But I think the current alliance needs allies like you and Valoran. The Alliance will provide you with a place to live, and at least I will do my best to convince Dalaran to agree to give you a territory sufficient for your survival and to recognize your status. ”

"Thank you very much for your help, moving to Kalimdor is an alternative and it is an honor to join the Alliance."

Afterwards, Antonidas returned to Dalaran with the mages to recuperate. This time his mage forces suffered heavy casualties, and he needed to convince the members of the Kenrito Council to support the Lich King's operation.

Admiral Daelin and his daughter are also returning to Kul Tiras. Gianna is now under great psychological pressure, and he, as a father, needs to relieve her.

Dathohhan returned to Stratholm with the members of the Knights of the Silver Hand, while Uther and Prince Arthas were to go north to the royal court to tell King Terenas about the matter.

Antonidas and Jiang Weihan agreed to meet again at the Lordaeron Court in three days. Jiang Weihan handed a teleportation beacon to Uther, and when the time came, he could teleport directly through the guò beacon. And during this time, he can use the ability that the Valoran Heart has given him - summon new heroes!
