Six days, it took Arthas six days to travel to the land of the High Elves. Arthas was not in a hurry, but after the vanguard reported to him that the troops of Quel'Salas and Kozan had built a solid line there, he was not in a hurry, and simply marched slowly. During this time, the souls of Arthas and Kel'thugad had a deep conversation, and both of them knew that they would face Richard, who had helped him, and he would not let them easily set foot in Silvermoon City to resurrect Kel'thugad, so they had to gather a very, very large army......

In order to cope with Quel'Salas's second line of defense, Arthas built a number of meat grinders, which followed him eastward from Andorhal, past the small villages of Feldstone Farm, Darson Cone Farm, and Geron Farm, and across the Sodoril River into eastern Lordaeron. Plague dead are everywhere that have been resurrected, and a simple spiritual command can keep them on their heels like loyal dogs. It's easy to take care of them, too, they feed on dead bodies, and there's so much of that stuff right now.

Many corpses that could not be used for resurrection were made into various strange stitched abominations, and many were ghosts of the deceased, which were generally used for reconnaissance or possession. After receiving the call for help from Alsace's side, Northrend immediately responded, and a new batch of reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, which surprised Arthas at first, and then rejoiced.

They were seen on the way from Alsace to Quel'Thalas. From afar, it seemed as if some dark shadow was moving on its own. In fact, it was some kind of animal. It's not cows and sheep that escape from the corral when their owners are transformed into zombies, nor bears and wolves that come out to hunt for corpses to feed, but creatures that have never been seen before.

They don't move like quadrupeds, but fly across hills and meadows, like spiders.

"Spider," he murmured.

When they saw Arthas, they swarmed down the hillside, their purple and black bodies hideous and terrifying, and many long feet swayed rapidly, crawling towards Arthas.

"These are the new troops that the Lich King has given to his favorite generals. Kel'thugad's voice rang out. The ghost seems to only be heard and seen by Arthas, with whom he has talked a lot in recent days and has managed to sow the seeds of doubt in the heart of the Death Knight. No, not Kel'thugad himself, but Tikdios, and the other demons.

"The Dreadlords cannot be trusted. "That's what he said to Alsace. "They're the jailers who spy on the Lich King. I will tell you all this, and when I return to this world, I will not hide anything from you. ”

Arthas wondered if Kel'thugad was using this as a decoy to make sure Arthas had the motivation to complete the task. He asked, "He sent me these things, what are they?"

"They were Nirubs. "Descendants of the ancient and proud Yakuzg." They are quite intelligent in their lifetimes, and are dedicated to destroying all creatures that are not of their species. ”

Arthas had been to Northrend, but had only been on the ground, and had not seen these underground kings, and Arthas shivered in disgust as he looked at the spider-like creatures. "It's so cute. And then what?"

"They were killed in the war against our lord and then resurrected by him as undead, including their king Anubrak. Now they have been sent to your aid, Prince of Arthas. Fight for the glory of the Lich King, for your glory. ”

"Use the undead spider to fight the elves of Quel'Thalas?" Arthas said to himself. They are huge, terrifying, and deadly. With a snap, they quickly joined the hordes of zombies, ghosts, and abominations.

"Huh. It's not just spiders, their bodies are stronger and more capable than human bodies, they can spew cobwebs and imprison our enemies, both heavenly and underground. ”

Arthas nodded, no matter who the Lich King really is, this guy is really talented.

Having gathered the new troops, they immediately moved forward, and with such a large force, it was impossible for Arthas to arrive undetected. Elven scouts are already famous, and with dragons, nothing in or out of the forest escapes their gaze. By the time Arthas noticed them, the news had already been sent far away. Despite Kel'thugad's uneasy warnings, it didn't matter, Arthas had assembled a large army, and he had no doubt that he would be able to make his way into this eternal realm, and quickly break through to the Well of the Sun, no matter how powerful Richard's troops were, could not stop him.

What's more, Quel'Salas isn't monolithic either. The elven scouts, despite their great abilities, will also be caught, and these captured scouts will not cooperate, but they will not be able to stop the ghosts from attacking them, and the ghosts will directly invade their minds to obtain information, and many others are frightened, and many are willing to betray his people and country for the power or safety promised by Arthas and the Lich King.

What surprised Arthas the most was that there was an elven mage with a high status who would take the initiative and excitedly join him. He was not only surprised, but also a little uneasy, wondering if this was Richard's conspiracy. Arthas was loved by his people as his dead father. He enjoys the warm approval of people who are lower than him, and is willing to take the time to remember their names and listen to their family stories. He wanted them to love him, and they did, and to follow him loyally, as Captain Fallick did, willing to go with him wherever he went, willing to do anything for him, before or after death.

Now Arthas can only assume that the elven rulers love their people just as much, and that their people are equally loyal and patriotic. And this mage betrayed his people only because he was promised strength, for this simple temptation. Mortals can be corrupted, shaken, or bought. Otherwise, he'll be a ticking time bomb ready to explode.

But...... He looked at his army and laughed. Yes, with them, things are much easier to do, there are many of them, and there is no fear of death. Has unquestionable loyalty and will only obey his orders. With them, what kind of stronghold can't be taken? The one in front of you is the first one! This stronghold will become the first death knell of Quel'Thalas!
