About a week after the Battle of Blackstone, Lothar led the knights of the Iron Horse Brotherhood to recapture Stormwind, while Tulayan and Khadgar led the remaining Alliance forces to defeat the Blackstone Clan gathered at the Dark Gate, which was blown up and Stormwind was about to be rebuilt

The war is over, and after countless towns and villages are in ruins, the survivors no longer have to hide in the catacombs and mines. At least the world is safe for now

After being crowned king in Stormwind, and after witnessing the succession of Ryan's son to his throne and the fall of the Horde, Lothar resigned contentedly from his position as Commander of the Alliance and Commander of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, built a thatched hut in Crystal Lake outside Stormwind, and watched Van Cleef's Brotherhood of Stonemasons prepare to rebuild Stormwind

For this old man, who is already over sixty years old, this is probably his happiest moment

Terenus and the other kings agreed to make Tulayan the heir of Lothar and take over as the new commander-in-chief of the alliance. As for Penorride and Alterac, Lordaeron's army entered Alterac and took over the defense there, but in fact, Penorred's throne had already been abolished by his generals before that, and it was not now to consider what Alterac would do in the future

"I think we should do something to commemorate it," Tulayan commented. He and Khadgar rode on the edge of a cliff and stared at the plain in front of them, a bleak and monolithic landscape. Except for the newly erupted lava, which glows red in the shadows, everything else is made of

Some black stones and already hardened lava were piled up. The sky was covered with thick ash and smoke, and the weather was constantly gloomy: "I think it's definitely an impressive memorial."

Beneath the Blackstone Tower, a memorial statue of Autumn Dust is rising from the ground, though ironically, it was the captured orcs who built it. At the end of this work, they are also sent to work elsewhere to repair the wounds caused by the war

"This war will be remembered," Khadgar nodded, "even after all other traces of this war are gone"

Only a handful of orcs escaped, such as the Black Hand Brothers, but these rangers are no longer in the mood for the Coalition's rulers to consider how to deal with them when the post-war work is complete

"Are you thinking about something heavy?" Khadgar asked, gently touching his shoulder.

"It's just thinking about what the future holds," Tulayan replied, "and the war is like a dream."

"No one knows what the future holds," his friend said, a strange expression on his face, "although I think we'll see the tribe or their world."

"I hope you're wrong," Tulayan said to him, "but if you're right, we'll stand here and wait for their return." We're going to drive them back again, just like we did this time. This world is ours, and in the name of the Light we will keep it

Defend the safety of this place forever"

The mage laughed, "Wonderful speech, Tulayan," he mocked, "Maybe in many years, your statue will be admired by all people"

"Statues?" Tulayan also laughed: "How can we possibly do something worthy of being made into a statue? ”

Khadgar raised his head and looked up at the sky, it had been a long time since he had seen Autumn Dust on the ship from Kurtras to Southern Lordaeron, as if he had suddenly appeared, and he had suddenly disappeared again at the end of the war, if it weren't for the statue being built in front of him reminding him of what had happened here before, I'm afraid Khadgar would have really wondered if he was in a dream.

Perhaps he would soon wake up and find himself still in Karazhan's library, still as young as he was, and Medivan was urging himself to tidy up his library and popping up a difficult question every now and then. Morro, the old butler, was still bending over to clean the kitchen, and kept bringing him letters from the teachers of Dalaran

Let him find the evidence of the existence of a fifth troll, let him ask Medivan about Kenrito, let him do this, let him do that, let him do that, Khadgar couldn't help but shed a tear that ran across his wrinkled skin and dripped on the gray earth of the Burning Plains. The clear touch told him that it was all real. His teachers were dead, Medivan was dead, Moro was dead, Ryan was dead, and he couldn't find his youth anymore, and now he could only drag his old body on

Such a tragic sacrifice, such a heavy pain. Countless images flew in front of him. The awkward young man on the ship, the battle between the three aristocratic youths and the trolls, the head-to-head confrontation with the orcs in the flames, and the catastrophe of Lordaeron are painful and precious memories

"Are you okay?" the paladin on the side patted the mage on the shoulder worriedly and asked, "You seem to be feeling a little unwell"

"No, I'm fine" Khadgar touched the corner of his eye, only to find that the tears had already dried. Clenched Etiyesh in his hands. Staff of the Guardians, Khadgar sighed "Let's go, let's calm down, and move on"

At the top of the Black Stone Mountain, Qiu Chen clasped his chest with both hands and looked at the people who were building statues below with a tangled face, "I also have a day when I was made into a statue?" It's unrealistic."

"That's what you're fuss about" On a relatively flat stone, Ako lay on the ground as if in prostration, "My former temple was full of my statue carvings and altars, this is one of the most primitive ways for people to express worship, and all the fuss can say that you haven't seen what the real ancient temple looks like"

"I'm really sorry," Qiu Chen's mouth twitched, "A well-informed ancient god would be trapped in an uninhabited underground ruins, and finally have to ask me, an uninformed guy, for help, and then fish it out like a water dog, what kind of trouble are you getting into"

"How do I know!" Yazi turned over on her back to the sky, although she had always looked weak, but it was much better than when Qiu Chen first met her in the Titan ruins under Tirisfarin, and at that time Qiu Chen was really worried about whether she had met some Titan Guardian

After being beaten and seriously injured, "I dare to conclude that there is definitely an old god in that ruin!" And he was completely wiped out, and I can feel that the death of the old gods is a major event that can leave traces in the world."

"Do you not claim to be immortal?"

"That's right, theoretically speaking, that's true," Ako covered her forehead and sighed, "You know, I thought I wouldn't be able to come back."

"Is it because of this thing?" Qiu Chen said that he didn't know when he had taken out a broken piece of iron. The red piece of iron seemed to be burning with flames, but it didn't feel hot in the palm of your hand

"When did you bring it out!" Glancing at the things in Qiu Chen's hand, Yazi's pupils shrank suddenly, and a carp jumped out several steps away from Qiu Chen, "You actually don't feel it!" That thing is going to burn my soul! ”

"Cut, why are you so excited now when you were listless just now" Qiuchen yawned and put away the fragments. He saw this in the Titan Ruins, and it immediately reminded him of the runes on Quelzaram

Taeshalach --- Qiuchen could barely make out the characters on it, while Quelzaram was Athkrnl discipliner. Maybe there was some connection between the two, but now he couldn't decipher it at all

"Let's go, Yazi" glanced at the frightened ancient gods, Qiu Chen sighed, "I don't know what to do if it's too late"

"Are you sure you're going to leave like this?" Ako leaned over to him and asked

"That's right" Qiuchen took one last look at the devastated world, and then closed his eyes, "Let's leave"

Soon, only to hear Yazi begin to recite the incantation, and the familiar feeling of vertigo gradually hit. Maybe it's not the best ending, but he already has a clear conscience. Qiuchen should have left a long time ago, but if he didn't stay, even he himself would not be able to leave

Not long after Qiuchen and Yazi's figures disappeared, another violet figure appeared where they had just stood

After looking around and realizing that she was a step too late, Magna stomped her foot in resentment, "Damn it! Do you think you can run away! ”

But unfortunately, what happened after that, that is what Qiuchen doesn't know
