……

In the army of the undead outside Dalaran, the Death Knight Arthas and Kel'thugad, who were mixed in the ranks of the undead, hidden in a grove, were now preparing to make the final arrangements before the battle.

"Humph! It's this damn magic protection barrier again! Do you have any plans, Kel'thugad? ”

Looking at Dalaran in the distance, Arthas smiled disdainfully, whether it is the long ears or these Dalaran mages, they are so fond of making these flashy enchantments, and if they have the energy to make these things, it is better to use them on weapons, and they must have long ears for the bomb...... Well, now that he thinks of that bomb, he still has lingering palpitations, so forget it and let them use all their energy on the enchantment!

"Yes, Your Majesty. Now that we've got enough information, there are probably two ways to get into Dalaran and get the book we need! ”

After Kel'thugad read the information that the Cult of the Cursed God had brought back, and after he had just sent some of the undead into the enchantment to tempt and figure out the effect of the enchantment, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

Besides, their main task this time was to go into Dalaran's treasury and grab a book, and they didn't want to fight these mages right away, so that their tactics could be flexible and easy to arrange.

"Oh? There's a way so soon? Tell me about it. ”

For things like enchantments, Alsace is not the right professional, so it's not too clear. But since this Kel'thugad was once a member of Kentory's council, he must have thought of a way to deal with this kind of professional problem, right?

"Of course, my majesty! Now, because this enchantment is aimed at the undead, a magical energy damage similar to the Holy Light, ......"

Kel'thugad paused, looked at Arthas, and continued his conversation after seeing that the other man was listening.

"The first way is to lead some of the most elite undead to force their way into the enchantment and attack their three magic nodes as fast as possible, and when you destroy all three nodes, our army can rush in and completely destroy this Dalaran! The book needed to summon Lord Akmund was in hand. ”

Kel'thugad was quick to say one of them, and it did sound a little plausible, anyway, in the original timeline, Alsace probably did just that, and it worked.

"Oh? Is this possible? After a moment of silence, for some reason, Arthas always felt a little unreliable as he listened.

"Uh......, because there are now more than 20,000 elite High Elf troops in Dalaran, so, if we do this, the loss may be a bit large, even if it is defeated, we are likely to lose most of the army....... and the success rate is also approximately... Only less than half! ”

If Dalaran hadn't adjusted the barrier, Kel'thugad would have been 100% sure that he would have attacked Dalaran directly, and he would be very familiar with that barrier!

But now, that damn Antonidas, he actually changed and fine-tuned the enchantment early in the morning to make it only work against the undead, and in doing so, it greatly increased its magic damage! Coupled with the 20,000 high elves who suddenly came out to disrupt the situation, this made this plan no longer so reliable.

"Only half? Let's talk about another plan. ”

With only a 50 percent chance of success, Arthas didn't want to take any chances.

After the incident in Silvermoon City, he already had a little more awe of magic, who knows if those mages in Dalaran have come up with something strange and powerful? Therefore, it is better to find a more secure way.

"The second way is to have an undead impersonate you and join me in commanding a large army outside the city to attack the city, and then we will also continue to send three more elite undead detachments to raid those three magic nodes to paralyze the enemy."

"At the same time, you will lead the most elite small troops, and the number of them will not be too many, and you will raid the treasure house of Dalaran directly from the sewers, and after grabbing the Book of Medivan, you will teleport back immediately before the other party can react! For this plan, I have nearly nine layers of certainty! ”

"Because, according to the spies, that stupid Antonidas, he has already asked most of the treasury guards to defend those three magic nodes, so you can get the thing we want with only a small number of people!"

Kel'thugad quickly finished talking about the second plan, which had a much better success rate than the first! Taking advantage of the weakness of the defense of the Dalaran Treasury now, let Arthas's most elite squad slaughter it, and immediately run away with the teleportation scroll after snatching the book!

I believe that Antonidas, the old immortal, will definitely be confused by then, right? They couldn't have imagined that hundreds of thousands of undead armies were here with great fanfare and were preparing to attack the city, just to steal such a thing!

"Very good, this plan is very good, then do what you just said! Now, you can go and get started, hurry up, and come here and let me know when you're ready. ”

Arthas thought for a while, felt that the second plan was much more reliable, thought for a while, and after thinking for a while, felt that there was nothing wrong, and then nodded and agreed to Kel'thugad's plan.

"Yes! My Majesty. ”

……

In the distance, in Dalaran, to the southwest, humans and elves are preparing to fight the undead and are about to engage in a great battle of the fullest. On the side of the Eastern Plaguelands, the cavalry of the Paladin Dasohan and his party of dozens of people are slowly following the team of hundreds of people of Old John, who are transporting food and supplies and are returning to the mountain road of the Flame Canyon.

"How? John, come to the Silver Hand and fight alongside us, let's defeat the undead and reclaim Lordaeron! I can even give you the rank of colonel, and let you lead our army of 2,000 recruits, and I'm sure you'll be able to train them all into elite troops. ”

Da Sohan's conditions can not be described as unfavorable, as soon as he opens his mouth, he is the rank of colonel of the real power army, if he changes someone, he may immediately bow down, right? It's a pity that the target of his recruitment is John Sr., a veteran who has been completely disappointed in Lordaeron......

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Da Sohan, thank you very much for your kindness, but I have to say no to you once again. I really can't fight with you now, because I'm very old...... Moreover, there are still thousands of refugees in the valley waiting for me to feed, and we have to get this food and seeds back as soon as possible, and then we have to build houses and plow the fields and sow seeds. ”

After rejecting the Nth invitation of the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand again, it turned around and looked behind it, they had loaded more than a hundred carts of grain, plus the other strong men, who were also more or less carrying backpack pockets, Old John smiled with satisfaction, with these things, the thousands of refugees in their canyon no longer had to worry about being hungry before the grain was harvested!

"I said, John, can't you think about it anymore? You are a powerful warrior, an experienced veteran! As a citizen of Lordaeron, as a soldier of Lordaeron, you should come to help us now, because the kingdom of Lordaeron is in great need of fearless warriors like you! ”

Da Sohan and his party of cavalry accompanied the transporters in this way, on the one hand, to help them escort the food back, and on the other hand, he was also very interested in the Flame Canyon!

So, under the pretext of helping to escort the food, Da Sohan wanted to sneak into the canyon to see what was going on, to see the friendly fire elementals who helped the Lordaeron refugees, and their strange human queen.

Actually, Da Sohan is not too unfamiliar with the fire element.

At the end of World War II, near Blackstone Mountain, he had seen that kind of thing that was on fire. It's still for sure, but it's not enough to be friendly!

Now he was curious to hear this John say that the fire element in it did not harm humans, and in turn provided them with land to live and cultivate. Therefore, he decided on the spur of the moment that he had to go in and have a look!

Besides, this Flame Canyon is so close to the Chapel of Light's Wish and the Hand of Tyre, only three to five days away! In any case, he had to go in and see why they were gathered here, and what was their purpose? If you can, it's a good idea to meet their queens.

"Dear Paladin, Your Excellency Commander Dasuohan, although it may sound a little offensive, I still want to correct you: we people are no longer the people of Lordaeron...... We are now just a group of homeless refugees... ….”

Old John sighed, took off his helmet, and stopped his advance. He just stood where he was, looking at Dassaulthan with a calm expression.

Now, he had to have a showdown, he didn't want to go back to the Wish of Light Chapel with them, and he didn't want to be an instructor in the Hand of Tyre, let alone a colonel! Right now, he just wants to build their new homes with the thousands of people in the canyon who are also homeless.

"Look at us again, we here, all of us, have loved ones who have died at the hands of the undead, without exception! Not only them, but even more, in the camp in the canyon, none of the families, not a single one, could escape intact! ”

"Who made all this happen? Who caused our wives to be separated and our families to be destroyed? And who reached out to us with the butcher's knife? That's right! It's the prince of Lordaeron, Arthas! With this expressionless face, Old John looked at the front of the convoy again.

"No...... This is actually because ......" Da Sohan was about to say a few words, but was immediately interrupted by Old John.

"Look over there, see? At the front of the line, Jude was grinning, he used to be a sergeant, my soldier, a great guy! Do you think he's having a good time now? Still smiling all day? ”

"Uh..., it seems to be." Da Sohan didn't know what the veteran was trying to say, and after glancing at the front of the group, he could only reluctantly nod.

"Then I can tell you now, Jude, he had a small orchard and a happy family, and he had a younger brother and two younger sisters...... But now, it's all gone! None of them are gone! You may not know....... we've all seen him cry secretly every night...... The first thing he did when he got up every morning was to secretly hide his soaked pillow towel, and he always thought we didn't know, and he forced a smile and a smile every day...... If you dare to recruit him in Lordaeron's name now, I'm sure he'll spit on you. ”

"Nope! John, I think there's one thing you should be clear, that Arthas did these things because he fell into the trap of the devil! The culprits are those even more evil beings behind him! When he degenerates into an undead, he can no longer represent the royal family of Lordaeron and Minethil! These are two different things! Not only you, but we will take revenge on him! Lordaeron is Lordaeron! He Alsace can only represent himself! ”

After finally understanding why the warrior had repeatedly rejected him, Dassault Hazhan hastened to explain.

"Really? But I've heard recently that when he was still a living man, he gave the order to slaughter the city in the name of Prince Lordaeron! Stratholme, you, you should remember, right? ”

John's eyes were red and he put on his closed helmet and used it to hide his expression, he didn't want anyone to see his tears now.

"My two comrades... I used all the money to buy them a big house in Stratholm after they died defending Lordaeron, and then, their orphans and children...... But the result? They did such a thing, and they dared to block the news, and it was only recently that I learned about it from other refugees! That's a ...... Scold! ”

Old John couldn't imagine it, but he just suspected that the citizens of the city were infected and ordered the slaughter of the city? Is this something that a normal prince can do? He's so sure that everyone is infected? He's not going to screen it?

If the citizens have all turned into undead, and he Alsace ordered the slaughter of the city, John himself would have nothing to say! But what did he do at the time? Just suspicion, and go straight to the people who are still alive? Old John would never believe that all the people ate the contaminated grain!

"No, this matter is actually because of the plague ....."

Only halfway through what he said, Da Sohan paused, he couldn't go on, this matter was indeed the sin committed by Arthas at the beginning. Because, Uther, the messenger of light who was present at the time, was also strongly opposed.

"Alright, Lord Dasuohan, you are an upright paladin, and we are just a bunch of minions. We do not know your honor or your faith, we only know that we will serve whoever is good to us, and we will give our lives to whoever thinks of us, but we will never give our lives to a kingdom that raises a butcher's knife to its people. Lordaeron, it's not the Lordaeron of us anymore......"

"It's not far ahead of the Flame Canyon, thank you very much for escorting you and your subordinates for the past two days, if you need to contact the fire elementals, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it's best to send someone to inform me first, and I will help you get in touch." After all, their fire demons are sometimes not so easy to talk to. ”

After saying the last sentence, Old John sighed, and regardless of the other party's reaction, he turned and left, leaving only Da Sohan with a bleak back, a veteran's back......

……

"Alas......"

Watching the distant convoy of transports fade from the entrance of the canyon into the mountains, Da Sohan frowned and pondered.

Originally, he thought that it would be easy to recruit, but he didn't want to end up in such an unhappy situation. The words of this veteran John also gave him a lot of feelings, and perhaps, in the future, they should pay more attention to the thoughts of those lower-level soldiers.

"Your Excellency, do we still need to go into the canyon to see what is going on? I saw a bunch of fire demons they talked about in front of me, and lava dogs, and there was a sentry in there. ”

At this time, a cavalryman with a silver hand rode back to report for duty, and he had already seen the fire demon and the lava dog mentioned in the refugee door, the kind of creature that grew tall and strong, like a naga, but the color was different, and the appearance was a little different, and it looked very difficult to mess with!

"No, let's return to the Wish of the Light! After the repair, go straight south to the hand of Tyr! Generalissimo Garissus is probably about to get here, let's go, next time. ”

Recently, after hearing that the army of the undead led by Arthas had been wiped out in Quel'Thalas, Generalissimo Gather decided to strike at the undead in the Eastern Plaguelands first, clearing them of the undead and capturing Stratholme in one fell swoop!

This is also the reason why Da Sohan led dozens of cavalry to reconnoiter around Stratholme this time, and he did find that the undead had become much less, and he did not know where they had gone.

Perhaps, this is indeed a good opportunity for them! Take the Eastern Plague Land first, and then clean up the Western Plague Land with the Valley of the Hearth, then, it will not be far from taking the Tirisfal Glade and recovering Lordaeron!
