There were more than 100,000 people in Stratholme, and less than 10,000 survived, half of whom were secretly rescued by Uther. Arthas finally did this, and instead of rewarding Uther, he removed Uther from the position of Knights of the Silver Hand. After that, the Silver Hand was once again left uncommanded, so the Knights of the Silver Hand merged with the Lordaeron Army. Keeping the name of the Knights, and the two generals, Mograini and Abydis, also became the masters of the Knights, but fortunately, both of them also changed from warriors to paladins, so the other paladins also acquiesced in this decision.

Tyrenus was naturally angry about the cataclysm that happened at the junction of Cowlin and Stratholme, but the culprit of all this was a demon named Marganis, and Tyrenus had to crusade against him if he wanted to get angry. But when he heard that Marganis had gone to the Northrend continent, Terenus fell silent, after several disasters, Lordaeron was no longer the rich and powerful Lordaeron he was at the beginning, and now it was a question of whether he could even restore his national strength, where would he have the extra ability to go on an expedition.

Therefore, Terenus can only decide to recover first, and the crusade against the demons will be postponed. But Arthas didn't think so, the demon directly provoked him countless times, and made the people of the two cities basically die in front of him, how could Arthas, as a prince, accept such an ending. So Arthas decided to take his men to the continent of Northrend to defeat Malganis. To make such a decision, naturally without the support of Terenus, Arthas is his heir, and going to Northrend in this way is tantamount to death.

Terenas was afraid that his son would use his army for a while, so he directly relieved Arthas of military power, and Arthas, who had no military use in his heart, could not run to Northrend alone.

However, Terenus really underestimated Arthas's hatred for Malganis, and after Arthas was relieved of his military power, he ran out of the royal city of Lordaeron himself, targeting the Barov family. Uther had previously mentioned to him about the food, and although Terenus did not pursue the Barov family's problem afterwards, Arthas did not intend to let the family go.

After moving away from Dalong Island, the Barov family came to Nanhai Town, a trading port town that was the main source of income for the Barov family. As soon as Arthas arrived in South Sea Town, he went to the new mansion of the Barov family, and after hearing that Alsace, the prince of Lordaeron, was coming, the family Alex could only go to greet him in person, but he also heard about what happened at the junction of Cowling and Stratholme, so he was always worried that the kingdom of Lordaeron would send someone to track it down.

"Prince Arthas, welcome to the town of the South Seas. Alex said cordially as soon as they met.

"Don't you, you should know what I'm here for?" said Arthas with a cold face.

"The prince should come to the house and say, it is not good to discuss this matter here. "Alex can only let Alsace go first.

Entering the mansion, Arthas found a random place to sit down and said, "Okay, naturally you know why I'm here, let's talk about the aftermath." ”。

Looking at Arthas, Alex narrowed his eyes like an old fox and asked, "What does King Terenus mean?"

"What do you mean? Shouldn't you tell me about the problem food you provided?" Arthas said directly.

"It was King Terenus who came to ask me for the grain, and I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it, and we're all still eating the same storehouse. Alex said as soon as he heard that Alsace was going to splash sewage.

"Do you know how much less we're missing to make sure the rest of the food is safe?" Arthas asked rhetorically.

"Your Royal Highness, it is not possible to explain at this time that the cause of the cataclysm at the Kaulin junction and Stratholme is the food we provide. However, we also understand that everyone has land in Sidaronmir and has been affected by the plague. Moreover, our family has suffered a lot of losses in this disaster, and our family's ancestral home and my daughter have been attacked by the undead. Alex said.

"It seems that your daughter is the one who is responsible for transporting the grain to Dharonmir, and I still suspect that she did it. There are still survivors in Stratholme, so if you ask them one by one, you should still be able to get some useful information. "Alsace Road.

Arthas's words hit Alex's death hole at once, and although Alex didn't want to think so, Illusia had been behaving so strangely lately that he couldn't explain it. And what Alsace casually said is indeed the truth of the facts.

"Well, what can the Kingdom of Lordaeron do if it needs us. It's just that my daughter is dead, and I hope you don't damage her reputation. Alex said.

"Good. I need all the money for an army and an expedition. "Alsace Road.

"Your Royal Highness, you are a strong man. I'm just an Oakland nobleman, and the money is okay, where can I get you an army. Alex said in real embarrassment.

"Well, you pay and ship. Army: I'll figure it out myself. With that, Arthas left quickly.

With the money, he at least completed the first step in his quest for revenge on Malganis. Then Arthas quickly came to the Chapel of the Light, where some of his cronies said that they had been relieved of their military powers, but these people still listened to him. Arthas, on the other hand, let his cronies spread the news of the crusade against Malganis in the army, and there were no longer a few people who hated Malganis, many of whom were born in Stratholme, and some relatives and friends died in Stratholme.

Soon, taking advantage of his desire for revenge, Arthas also recruited an army willing to join him on an expedition to Northrend. And now the only one who is still in front of his expedition is his father Terenus, as long as his actions are discovered, his expeditionary force is likely to be directly disbanded by an order of Terenus.

So until Alex helped him raise food and military expenses, he had been in a dormant state, and Arthas first felt the thrill of having a clear goal. He found that he had been living under the influence of Terenus and Uther, and that the thrill of suddenly deciding to defy was something he had never experienced. At this time, Arthas decided not to be an obedient prince anymore, and if he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would have to rely on his own merits to fight for it, and this merit was naturally the head that the expedition to Northrend brought back to Malganis.

Although the movement in the army was small, it still did not escape Uther's eyes. He was dismissed from his position as head of the knight because of Arthas, but the Mentor of Arthas cared for Arthas at all. He had discovered that Arthas had fallen into an attachment to Malganis, and that this attachment stemming from hatred had caused Arthas to lose himself and become irrational.

After repeated investigations, Uther still knew that Arthas was planning to send troops to Northrend without permission. Transferring troops without permission is a serious crime, and even the prince is not exempt from responsibility, so Uther found him before the Alsace operation.

In the Chapel of Light, the rest of the people had been cleared by Uther, and only Arthas and Uther remained inside.

"Alsace, you know I'm childless. So when I was your mentor, I always treated you as my own child. Uther said.

"I know that sometimes you care more about me than my real father, so I always hate and respect you. "Alsace Road.

"Son, do you know who is in that urn?" asked Uther, pointing to a jar placed on the altar.

"Kel'thugad, even if he turns into ashes, he has been spilling out death energy, so in order not to affect the surroundings, he can only put it here to purify. "Alsace Road.

"Kid, Kel'thugad was an introvert before, but he's definitely not a bad guy. And his transformation happened after going to Northrend, and I don't want you to be put here in a jar one day. Believe me, there's definitely a great evil in Northrend, and that demon is there to lead you to that evil. Uther said, tears already welling up in her eyes.

For him, Arthas was both a disciple and a child, and like Terenus, he did not want to lose this child. It's just that he prefers to have a heart-to-heart chat with Arthas.

"Mentor, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have dismissed you out of anger, but I can't let so many people die in vain, aren't we paladins just going to uphold the justice of the world?" Arthas said with a slight redder in his eyes.

"I don't care about the position anymore, I only care about your safety. If the opportunity is right in the future, I will apply to Your Majesty for an expedition to Norad, and please hold back your anger in advance. Uther said.

"Mentor believe in me, I will be absolutely victorious. I'm your disciple. "Alsace Road.

"Ah, Arthas. You still don't understand that I'm speaking to you now with the mentality of a father, and I want your peace, not triumph. Uther said with a sigh.

"That's all you have to say, and you can think about the rest. I didn't tell Terenus about your private recruitment, you still have a choice. Uther added.

"Mentor, thank you for not reporting me. But I have my own things that must be done, I can't be a prince who can do nothing, and one day I will triumph, and you can wait for the time to help me celebrate. Arthas said and left the chapel.

Since Uther was aware of his plans, it is likely that others were aware of his plans as well. In order to prevent any change, he gathered his soldiers and rushed to the beach in East Dharon Mill, where he and Alex had agreed to board the ship. The troop carriers had arrived here very early, and Alsace had been waiting for the supply ships. Upon reaching the beach, Arthas arranged for soldiers to board the ship, and at the same time the supply ship that Arthas had been waiting for appeared on the surface of the sea. But when the ship approached, he noticed that there was an extra figure on it, and it was Gianna.

Alex's purchase of grain around Nanhai Town naturally alarmed Dalaran, after all, it was a time of food shortage. Antonidas sent Gianna to investigate and found out that Arthas was preparing an expedition against Norad, and this place that made Kel'thugad strong and depraved naturally aroused Gianna's interest, so she planned to go with her. But when Arthas saw Gianna, he threw her off the boat.

"Listen, the Northrend Road is dangerous, we're not here to play, we don't have time to take you. After throwing Gianna off the boat, Arthas said to him again.

"I'm not there to play, that continent is very important to me. Gianna said immediately.

"I'm sorry, there's no way to guarantee your safety, so I won't take you there. "Alsace Road.

While the two were entangled, Terenus chased the remaining members of the Order to the beach.

"Arthas, get me off the ship now, you're violating military discipline. Tyrenus shouted from afar.

"Father, I'm only going as an avenger now, and you have no right to stop me from taking revenge. Arthas shouted back.

"The archers, the ignition shot burned his ship. Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Terenus ordered directly.

All the archers present began to shoot with rockets, and Arthas hastened to give the order to go, and Gianna was left alone on the beach.

"Arthas, you break off your friendship. Don't say I know you in the future. Gianna yelled angrily at Arthas as he drove away.

And Arthas simply did not have time to pay attention to her at this time, the ship was hit by a rocket, and he was organizing the extinguishing of the fire.

Due to the large number of troop carriers, the flames were quickly extinguished. The grain ships were burned down before they could set off because of lack of manpower, and Alsace was already facing a shortage of food at this time.
