Chapter 248: Turmoil and Opportunity
Dalaran, the city is in shambles.
The city is in turmoil due to the plague of the Scourge of the Dead, and the plague here spreads so secretively that Archmage Antonidas even suspects that someone has become an undercover agent of the Cursed Sect.
At this moment, Antonidas was sitting at the top of the tallest mage tower in Dalaran, looking at the huge Book of Guardians, also known as the Book of Medivan, suspended in front of him.
This was one of the few things of value that Khadgar had smuggled out of Karazan when he was escaping Karazan.
After following the Titan deity's successful raid on Karazan, Khadgar brought the Book of Guardians back to Dalaran.
It's a pity that due to the rapid takeover of the new guardian Merry Winterwind, the organization of Khadgar and Violet Eye did not get the opportunity to carry the endless magical books and various ancient books in the Karazhan Library.
However, the fact that he was able to obtain the most valuable and valuable Guardian Book in Karazan also made Antonidas feel a little relieved, after all, it was not like he had nothing to catch in the end.
But Antonidas soon became relieved again, for he received the exact news that the Scourge had left Quel'Thalas and were heading for Dalaran!
Arthas wants to destroy Dalaran?
The old mage scolded all eighteen generations of Arthas's ancestors.
Shit Tyrenus, look at what your good sons have done! This Lordan No. 1 dutiful son, now spilling everywhere, you are clean when you die, leaving us with a big mess.
Well, in this regard, our client, His Royal Highness Prince Arthas, said that he was a little wronged, he didn't want to attack Dalaran so soon, his idea was to first sweep the surrounding towns, or attack the Silvermoon City, which was divided in half by the death scars, so as to replenish the corpses and soldiers, and absorb some fresh blood.
However, Tito Dios, the Dreadlord who was constantly watching him with his army, disagreed, and he insisted on forcing Arthas to act immediately, without delaying for a moment.
Arthas and Kel'thugad couldn't twist their arms around their thighs, and they didn't dare to resist the overseers sent by the Burning Legion for the time being.
But you are so anxious, are you worried about what may happen?
Well, there is no need to answer, we all understand, isn't it just that Akmund is afraid to come to this world if he gets some other news.
The purpose is temporarily the same, and the interests are temporarily the same, so the Scourge Legion quickly whipped up, resurrected the Great Lich Kel'thugad on the front foot, and began to lead the army to Dalaran on the back foot, looking like a busy business.
The Night Empire across the sea and the Southern Alliance... Well, now it's the only alliance, and the two have been silent, just doing what they do, as if they're ready to make some big news.
The reaction attitude of these two parties is very strange to the Scourge, especially the Night Empire, which should not be at all.
The expected revenge did not materialize, and the Titan deity did not say a word about Sylvanas, which was extremely abnormal given his unyielding personality.
As for Quel'Thalas, the High Elves looked at Silvermoon City, which had been cut in half by the scars of death, and the Eternal Forest, where half of the area had been turned into a land of dark ghosts, and it was a terrifying hatred.
Coupled with the fact that the Ranger General Sylvanas and her men were all pulled up by Arthas's bastards and turned into undead, the High Elves were even more indignant about this.
As a result, the Twilight Hammer organization began to grow rapidly, and the Sun King Kael'thas even shouted the radical slogan of going to the national disaster together and paying the debt with blood.
With lightning speed, Quel'Thalas reassembled a new main army and began to wait for an opportunity to deliver a blow to Arthas and the Undead Scourge.
Countess Liadrin, and the Great Star Sorcerer Solanian, two determined priests and warlocks, became the leaders of this main army.
Blood debts must be paid in blood, and the two strong women were approved by the Sun King, Kael'thas, and now their legionnaires are known as the Blood Elves, a distinct branch within the High Elves.
At the same time, in the southern part of the continent, the Alliance completely closed the Saldo Bridge, because the plague of natural disasters also broke out in the Arathi Heights, and the already half-dead Fort Riptide Restoration Army was even worse at the moment.
And the news from Kurtilas, who was hanging overseas, that a large-scale plague of the undead had also broken out in their country, and they suffered heavy losses at the moment.
Gianna was finally discovered, and she had hidden sources of the plague lurking in her body, which Arthas had personally unleashed with the power of Frostmourn.
And for the sake of concealment, Gianna herself is not infected, so she becomes a mobile source of pollution.
Coupled with the fact that she was also the princess of Kul Tiras, the plague broke out directly from the top of this maritime powerhouse, and then quickly spread downward.
As Gianna's father, King and Principal of Kurtilas, Daelyn Prodmore was not spared, he bore the brunt of the undead plague, and was then killed by the grief-stricken Prince Derek and the High Elf bastard daughter Fena Golden Sword, who combined to kill Dalin, who had become a death knight, and held a solemn cremation.
Although Gianna didn't know about this, she had a close encounter with Arthas in Quel'Thalas, and then blindly followed the prince's orders to return to Dalaran and Kurtilas, which was revealed by a mysterious organization, and it was also equipped with a complete image crystal, with pictures and truths, and convincing evidence.
The grief-stricken Prince Derek and most of the people of Kurtilas began to denounce Gianna, and the people called for the eternal exile of the proud former royal family of Kurtilas.
Even Gianna's mother, Catherine, didn't want to see her daughter again, but the blood relationship was always there, so Catherine suggested that Gianna be exiled.
Prince Derek agreed, saying that he would not execute Gianna, but would follow the people's opinion and exile his sister forever.
Gianna, who was also extremely grieved, had no choice but to leave her hometown of Kul Tiras with a small number of people who were still willing to follow her and forgive her.
They returned to the Eastern Kingdom on a sea ship and came to the plague-ridden Arathi Highlands.
Gianna gave a speech in the Valley of Refuge and pulled away a group of Riptide Castle people who were willing to leave with her, and Prince Thorbaine, the leader of the Riptide Restoration Army, gritted his teeth at this.
The exiles then boarded a ship in Fadil Bay in the Arathi Highlands and crossed the sea to the distant continent of Kalimdor, where they planned to establish their new homeland.
Gianna chose the uninhabited land of the Dust Swamp, where she was going to build a city of exiles and no longer bother with anything on the Eastern Kingdoms.
Gianna's repeated betrayal by her lover and the death of her loved ones because of her devastated Gianna.
Sometimes people are forced out, and some people are willing to fall in the face of setbacks and adversity, and no longer have an upward spirit.
But some people are more courageous and uncompromising.
Yes, he has committed many irreparable mistakes, hurt and failed the expectations of many people, and indirectly killed his beloved father.
But I still have to keep going, even if the road ahead is already extremely difficult.
To be alive is to have hope.
