In the 26th year of the Dark Gate, the Lich King Arthas awakened in the North Pole, the Scourge Legion broke out on all fronts, and the Spider Kingdom Eldraine Nirub was defeated layer by layer, and the Lich King was about to unify Northrend in the North Pole.
In the same year, Trag. The mountain has risen to life in undead form, once again appearing on the land of Azeroth.
In the north, Malygos, the Blue Dragon King of the Nexus, fell into a frenzy, believing that the world had been corrupted by magic-wielding creatures, and decided to destroy all magic-wielding and even magic-related creatures in Azeroth.
The guardian dragons tried to convince Malygos to give up his crazy thoughts, but failed.
The Red Prophet Li Yunfei appeared in the territory of Stormwind City, entered the public eye for the first time, and together with the Brotherhood of Defia, planned the Stormwind City prison robbery operation and caused trouble in Stormwind City. (Author's note: Another theory is that Li Yunfei was inadvertently involved in the accident, not in tandem with the brotherhood in advance)
The Scourge Legion in the Eastern Plague has changed, and the Hanging City of Naxxramas flies away from the Eastern Plague and returns to Northrend to guard the Dragonbone Waste. At the same time, the Knights of the Black Blade were ordered to go to the Eastern Plague to attack the Scarlet Crusaders and the Chapel of the Wish of Light, in an attempt to clear the resistance of the Eastern Plague.
Tirio. Witnessing the tragic death of his son, Ferdins resolved to reorganize the Knights of the Silver Hand, and led the regrouped Paladins to support the Chapel of Light's Wish.
During the battle, the Knights of the Ebon were defeated, the Knights of the Blade were captured, and the Lich King Arthas suddenly appeared, repelled by Ferdin, who was protected by the power of the Light under the Chapel of Light's Wish.
The Knights of the Black Blade were rebelled against and joined the Northern Expedition against the Lich King.
At the same time, Fording obtains the purified artifact Ember Messenger and creates the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army.
The Western Wilderness, under the leadership of the Red Prophet Li Yunfei, was completely unified and established the world's first red regime in Azeroth. The Brotherhood reorganizes and is renamed the Wild West Rebellion. Fight against the Alliance led by Stormwind.
In the same year, Stormwind declared war on the Western Wilderness, and the first anti-encirclement war began.
In the same month, the war against encirclement ended, the alliance was defeated, and the leader of the Night Elves, Tyrande, visited Stormwind. With King Varian. Ureon contemplates war against the Western Wilderness.
The red prophet Li Yunfei cursed inexplicably, temporarily lost his ability to move, and the hearts of the rebel army were fluctuating.
Tirio. After hearing about the affairs in the south, Ferding personally went south to visit Li Yunfei and brought his friend Alexstrasza, the queen of the Red Dragon.
Under Alexstaza's treatment, the curse of the Red Prophet was removed, his body was restored, and he began to plan a second war against the Alliance.
After that, the mad Blue Dragon King Malygos suddenly led the Blue Dragon Legion to attack the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, and the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza hurriedly left the Western Wilderness for the north. and led the Dragon Sleep Coalition to attack the Demon Pivot and kill the mad Blue Dragon King.
In the same month, in Tirio. Thanks to Fordin's efforts, Stormwind finally began peace talks with the Wild West Resistance. Finally, the Red Prophet Li Yunfei drafted a treaty called the "Northern Expedition Mutual Agreement", which was signed by both sides, confirming the official end of the war.
At the time, neither the parties to the treaty, nor the other races involved in the event, could have imagined how far-reaching what happened in the south would have on Azeroth in the future.
The formation of the Red Legion, the formalization of the Red regime. It marks that the world of Azeroth, with Li Yunfei as the core and Vanessa as the deputy, has officially entered an era of vigorous change.

In the eyes of many, it was drafted by the Red Prophet Li Yunfei and written by Grand Duke Grayson of Stormwind City. The Northern Expedition was signed on behalf of Shadon Breck, the treaty signed by King Varian of Stormwind. One of the biggest mistakes in Wrynn's life.
Because if there is no certainty of this treaty. The Wild West Resistance will need more time if they are to achieve what they will achieve in the future.
After all, the Red regime that had not grown up was still immature and weak, and without the peacetime and respite brought by the treaty, and the territorial digestion of the twilight forest, it would have been difficult for the western wilderness to develop rapidly.
But in fact, under the circumstances at the time, there was no harm in Wrynn signing this treaty.
First of all. At that time, the twilight forest was chaotic, almost dominated by undead and ogres and werewolves, and the power of humanity was already crumbling. Moreover, the magic of the upwind trail is constantly polluted, and the goblins of the south often come to harass it, so it can be said that it is less inhabitable than the western wilderness.
Discarding the twilight forest of the time was for Wrynn. It can be said that it is beneficial and harmless.
It can not only get rid of a trouble, but also throw the trouble on the enemy, so that the Western Wilderness Resistance Army is exhausted and unable to develop with peace of mind, dragging down the growth of the Red Regime.
It's just that he underestimated the growth and strength of the Western Wilderness Revolutionary, and didn't expect the other party to easily settle the troubles of the Twilight Forest, and also recruited evil forces such as ogres and werewolves for his own use, increasing his own power.
As for the opening of treaty ports, it was more of a joke for the Union.
At that time, the Alliance had no idea that the Red Prophet would be so ambitious and could turn the Wild West into a huge factory in three months, processing countless convenience items that were not available before.
Inventions such as the flashlight, although seemingly small, are enough to trigger a tide of change and completely shake the original capital market of the alliance.
If he hadn't been to the Wild West himself, who would have thought that the Red Prophet would be so proficient in inventing mechanical science in addition to military and political affairs? Later, the countless items that were invented by Li Yunfei and disrupted the capital market of the entire alliance were all miracles far beyond anyone's imagination.
And the matter of indemnity seems to be harsh, but the bulk of the indemnity is basically paid by the major nobles, and the kingdom's treasury only needs to pay a little to stabilize the enemy, and by the way, it can also suppress those increasingly expanding aristocratic forces, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless.
For Varian at that time, this treaty was more like his action with the red prophet Li Yunfei to join forces to squeeze and suppress the aristocratic forces in the country. For Urian, he had to sign and had to sign.
And it didn't hurt that he signed itβif it hadn't been for the events that followed to take things to the other extreme, Urian's decision was undoubtedly very wise.
Therefore, when we look back at history, we should not be harsh on the Stormwind Kingdom that signed the treaty.
Because for Varian at the time, this contract was a very good deal.
It's just that for us, who know what happened later, it is natural that we have no choice but to see the stupidity and short-sightedness of that king.
In other words, it was precisely under the eloquence and strategy of the red prophet Li Yunfei that the former lord of the alliance was calculated to have no way back, and even those things that happened in the future were all in his plan.
After all, this contract was drafted by the Red Prophet himself.
