Chapter 65: Kel'thugad Appears
After Mograini left Dunhold with his two fully "persuaded" lieutenants, the ** master Antonidas looked at Jiang Weihan: "You asked me before, when you build an artifact, some strong will will give it some new attributes-"
"The answer is yes." Antonidas looked at Kyle, "Actually, Miss Kyle's sword is endowed with a strong will. She was able to answer that question. β
Jiang Weihan looked at Kyle unexpectedly, and the other party nodded slightly.
"So, is this a universal rule?" He asked.
"I guess so."
Jiang Weihan remembered that the legendary swords in Chinese history were also endowed with a strong will? When you think about it, that's true.
"And what kind of circumstances did your Prophet see in the future timeline that this Scourge artifact was crafted?"
Jiang Weihan recalls the process of forging the "Ember Bringer": by that time the Scourge had already destroyed Stratholmeβor rather, the massacre of the Prince of Arthas had destroyed it. Mograine, having fought the undead, returns to Southsea Town and holds a meeting. He invited his best friend Ferdin, as well as his lieutenants. These include High Priest Ethan Lion, Paladins Abidis and Fairbanks.
It was in the inn of Nanhai Town that he took out the Rezeb crystal and proposed the theory that "the other side of the light is the shadow". The three powerful paladins, Abydis, Farbanks, and Tirio Fordin, then attacked the Shadow Crystal with their light. After the crystal devoured enough of the power of the Holy Light, it sublimated into a "Divine Source" filled with pure power.
Mograine then sent the crystal to the strongest blacksmith in the world, King Magni Copperbeard of Ironforge, and asked him to turn it into a weapon.
It didn't go well at first, but when Magni Copperbeard was shocked to learn that his brother Muradin had died at the hands of the undead, the grief-filled and hateful king finally incorporated his strong will and succeeded in creating the most powerful artifact against the undead, the Ember Bringer!
Later, Mograini became famous with this artifact. No natural disaster is vulnerable to it. Imbued with divine power, each time Mograini swung his weapon, the undead in his path were reduced to ashes in patches.
Jiang Weihan said in a deep voice, "The King of Ironforge Fort was driven by grief and anger to create this weapon. β
"I've met King Magni Copperbeard of Ironforge, an optimistic and forgiving elder. What can make him sad and angry must be extremely sad that something has happened. β
"Then we're going to stop it." Anthony Das Road.
"That's why we're here." Jiang Weihan replied.
"It just so happens that Crassus is here too, let's talk about the essence of life!"
"Invite him in!"
Gianna then invited Crassus into the conference room.
The ** master of the appearance of the High Elves greeted everyone, and then said, "I am willing to do something to stop the natural disaster. β
"That's the best news." Antonidas looked encouragingly at his old companion.
"One person missing." Luo Ning said, he was thinking of Wen Leisa, who was saving the Red Dragon Queen together at that time. He hadn't seen her in three months, and now he could barely suppress his thoughts.
Jiang Weihan smiled, "The one you mentioned is now in Stratholme, and she has brought a team of High Elf volunteers to help us defeat the Lich King!" β
Luo Ning's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "This is the best news!" β
Crassus decided to strike at his students, and he pretended to be stern and asked, "But do you know where Queen Alexstasa is?" β
Everyone looked at Jiang Weihan.
"Ah yes, how did I forget that there is such a know-it-all person!" Crassus patted his forehead.
Jiang Weihan winked at him: "Don't be kidding, my ** teacher, didn't I sue you?" β
Antonidas was stunned and said, "When, I don't know." β
"Just now, I conveyed it through my thoughts." Jiang Weihan said seriously.
Crassus smiled wryly. He was completely sure now, Jiang Weihan did know that his true identity was a red dragon, no, he should even know that he was the spouse of the red dragon queen Alexstasa, right?
"Then let's leave as soon as possible, strive to obtain the essence of life as soon as possible, and come up with a plan to resolve the plague." Crassus Road.
"Agreed."
"You're going to Northrend." Jiang Weihan remembered the previous negotiation with the orcs, "It just so happens that another team of people is also going, I think you can partner up." β
"Who?" Ronin asked.
"Orcs."
Everyone's eyes widened, as if they wanted to ask for proof if Jiang Weihan was joking.
β¦β¦
Tirio Fording returned to the court of Lordaeron to report back to Terenus on the results of his mission.
The old king withdrew everyone and listened to the secret report alone. He propped his chin and stared at the paladin: "In other words, His Excellency Jiang Weihan has done us a great favor again?" β
"Yes."
"Sending the orcs to the barren lands of Northrend has solved the possible threat to their population and brought the kingdom of Stormgard together. And let these orcs have to fight the undead for their future survival. What a good strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone! Terenus nodded in admiration, "It seems that I have been underestimating the political wisdom of this Lord of Valoran. He's a truly brilliant man! β
Of course, this kind of talk is not something that Foding can take. So he waited quietly for the king's instructions.
"Now that we have found Kel'thugad, then follow Jiang's plan and completely eliminate it, so that we can rest assured that we can go on a northern expedition." Terenus nodded his forehead, "Let me think about it, the defense area near Alterac - that's the jurisdiction of Admiral Galletsus of the Southern Army, right?" β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then the army in Garissus's hands, plus the silver hand led by Mograine, and the mages of Dalaran, and Jiang Weihan's powerful heroes, these together are more than enough to destroy Kel'thugad and his two or three thousand evil minions. Looks like I don't have to send additional reinforcements over. Terenus muttered to himself, then waved his hand, "Alright, that's it. Let the people of Garissus obey the command of the alliance general Jiang Weihan, and on behalf of us Lordaeron, exterminate Kelthugad! β
The full name of the Southern Army Admiral in the mouth of Terenus is Osmar Garithasus. He is a veteran who participated in the Second War and has made great achievements. Now the accumulation of merit has been promoted to the rank of general. Nominally in command of the Lordaeron army south of Lake Lordamere. This includes Fenris Island Fort, the surrounding area of Dalaran, the Alterac Valley, and the entire Hillsbrad Hills. Even Jiang Weihan's current territories, Dunhold and Talenmere, were previously under his jurisdiction.
But in fact, there is no Garissus in the Hillsbrad Hills now.
The town of Nanhai is surrounded by the jurisdiction of the Great Lord Mograini, and the rest is also Jiang Weihan's territory.
Although Mograine's rank is not as high as that of Gariters, it is reasonable that it should belong to his subordinates. However, Lordaeron's army is a peculiar composition: it is divided into two parts: the regular army and the silver hand.
The regular forces undoubtedly belonged to the Kingdom of Lordaeron and were loyal only to the king. The Silver Hand is the Legion of the Clergy, who are nominally loyal to King Terenus, but in reality they are self-contained, upholding the light and justice of the entire Alliance.
So as the commander of the regular forces, Garissus had no authority to command Mograine.
Garissus received an order from King Terenus to put his troops under the command of the Coalition General Jiang Weihan, the commander of Valoran. He had no objection to that.
Although in terms of military rank, he is also a general, but the weight of the two is completely different. Garissus is only the admiral of Lordaeron, and he is nothing without Lordaeron. But Jiang Weihan represents the entire alliance, as long as he is in the alliance, he enjoys the treatment that a general should have, and can command the armies of other countries in the alliance.
However, what happened next made the Admiral of the Southern Army unhappy: Jiang Weihan sent a letter, because he himself was not good at military command, so Valoran's troops would be under the command of the Grand Lord of Nanhai Town and the commander of the Silver Hand, Alexandros Mograini.
What does this mean?
Gallissus thought about it, isn't this just a hint that he should also obey Mograini's command! After all, Jiang Weihan, a decent alliance general, handed over his troops to Mograini.
What is this?
Originally, Mograini's military rank was lower than him, and it was okay not to be under his command, but now he even had to be a general himself to listen to the dictates of a lieutenant general?
Garissus had only two words in his heart: dissatisfied!
Of course, in fact, Jiang Weihan didn't think about it that much. He simply told SΓΉ Garithares that Mograine would command his troops, and did not ask Garisses' troops to be under his command as well. He had expressed his intention at a meeting in Dunhold before: to have the highest-ranking person in the theater of operations other than himself to command specific battles.
Apparently Admiral Garrisses did not realize this.
The deployment of troops did not happen overnight. In the past few days, Jiang Weihan has been asking Wayne and Quinn to closely monitor the movements of the Scourge Legion in Shattered Ridge, waiting for a good opportunity. At the same time, the thieves of Ravenhold Manor kept an eye on the progress of the syndicate collecting herbs for Kel'thugad.
On this day, the Assassins from Ravenhold Manor delivered the news that Jiang Weihan wanted to hear the most: during the Syndicate's deal with the Scourge Legion, the Lich Kel'thugad had appeared!

Note: When the Rezeb Crystal is sublimated, the figure of Tirio Ferding appears. But in fact he had been banished by this time. The verdict demanded that he "not set foot in the territory of the Alliance". But the town of Nanhai clearly belongs to the Alliance. A more plausible explanation is that he regained his divine powers and took refuge in his friend Mograini. This shouldn't be considered a bug, and I don't think anyone will take it seriously......
