Steinbled is a pretty good city built by the former kingdom of Alterac. When I first came here, I had a pretty good impression of this place before I saw the lord.

The streets are paved with smooth stone slabs or stones, and the buildings on the side of the streets are very neat, and it is considered to be the best in the country in terms of architectural planning and sanitary conditions compared to other places.

Although the terrain is not low, and there are cold winds and blizzards, it is much better than Alterac City. But it was burned down by Alsace, and on its own initiative.

Of course Stratholme was not, Stratholme was destroyed because there were people contaminated by the plague and mutated walking corpses in the city, but there was none. When the army arrived, the city was almost gone, and the remaining ones who couldn't walk and didn't want to go witnessed the destruction of the city.

We came to the castle of Facurrest, and the guy had already cleaned up the castle and ran away, and he took the menorah with him.

Alsace didn't have a lot of interest in slaughtering the people here, and even the surrounding towns and villages didn't go to visit us and went straight to the city of Alterac.

The city of Alterac has been in ruins since the death of King Oden Pirenod and the ouster of Crown Prince Auriden before he could sit on the throne.

It is not known what the people who built the city had in mind, but the city was not suitable for life. Not only is the terrain too high, but there is really no food here, and there is no other way for people here to survive except for herding and hunting. Oh...... And robbery.

If it weren't for the king's place, the city would not have existed at all. Well, now it's completely finished. The nobles of Lordaeron would never buy a house with a mountain view here to blow the mountain breeze.

So when the army drove outside the city of Alterac, not only did the gates open wide, but when they walked in, they found that it was dilapidated and unpresentable. In addition to some houses on the main road, there are still traces of people living in them, and more areas have been deserted.

The royal palace of Pirenod has also been emptied, and it was inhabited before we came, and it should have been the sheriff here. The castle is very different from what I used to think, the precious tapestries, carpets, ornaments, etc. are gone.

After visiting Alsace, there was no order to burn down the place, so it can be regarded as preserving some traces of history.

Actually, we could have left Steinbrad and then went straight west and then turned south to Dalaran, but Alsace was not in a hurry at all.

He chose to visit Alterac City and then head south into Hillsbrad.

Winter has come, the mountains are still windy and snowy, and the scene when I first came here many years ago is still vivid, it is still this road, but the world is no longer the same.

When I reached the fork in the road to Talenmere, I pointed to the land to the east and said that it was the land that the Barovs had plotted to seize from someone else before the kingdom of Alterac was destroyed. Arthas just stared blankly at the vast expanse of farmland to the east, silently.

I told him that it was here that we had gathered and trained, and finally defeated the orcs, breaking the orc's plan to attack Lordaeron directly. Alsace will remain indifferent.

In fact, Arthas did not want to destroy Tarenmir, and the destruction of this place was entirely Kel'thugad's idea.

I don't know why we didn't meet any resistance along the way, and all the villages were empty. At first, it was fine, but as we got closer to the town of Hillsbrad, the situation began to cause displeasure in Alsace. He began to stop and began to look for those who had escaped.

This immediately caused Kel'thugad to be dissatisfied, and even the traitor rubbed his hands in a hurry.

I knew Sylvanas was very hostile to him, so I went to her and said, "I have a feeling there's something wrong with that guy. ”

Sylvanas glanced at me and snorted, "I know. ”

I was a little surprised, "You know? You got it? ”

The woman rolled her eyes at me.

"Do you know or don't you know?" I said, staring at her.

"What do you want to say?"

"Don't you think that guy is abnormal?" I say.

"What's out of the ordinary?"

"Don't you know?"

She glared at me and was about to leave, so I hurriedly said, "I think he has a problem with Kel'thugad." She stopped, "What's the problem?" ”

"I've been watching him, and I've found out that this traitor has two hearts since I was in Quel'Thalas, and now he's unhappy with Arthas."

"How do you tell?"

"The eyes and movements are completely different from before." I said, "He was in a hurry, and there was a ...... in the man's eyes after he had brought up Dalaran with Kel'thugad Only a traitor has a look. ”

"What's the traitor's look?" She stared at me with slanted eyes.

"It's not the kind of look you look at anyway." I said, "It's a gut feeling. ”

"A man's instincts are not accurate." She said.

"Mine is accurate." I pouted.

"Empty words." She said.

"He's desperate to go to Dalaran now, but now Arthas isn't gone, so he's in a hurry, and we can find a way to get him to show his tail." I looked her in the eye and said.

Although she looked at me a little annoyingly, this woman's eyes ...... Well, it's pretty good.

"Why should I trust you?" But her face was like frost.

"Have I hurt you?" I asked her.

"If you had done that, you would be dead by now." She said.

"I'm dead."

"You're long dead." She glared at me.

I smiled, "I did die earlier than you. ”

She turned and walked away. Tsk, her ass is so good-looking! But I still chased after it, "No more nonsense, huh...... I know you hate him, I don't like him, I've been watching him so I feel like something must be wrong with this man, and if he has other ideas, then take the opportunity to kill him. ”

Sylvanas stopped, her gaze into my eyes. "If that's the case, Arthas won't say anything." I say.

Sylvanas led the group to the town of Hillsbrad, and she didn't have many people, most of them were her former men, many women, and some lichs, and I stayed with Arthas to keep an eye on the situation.

We were all there on the day she left, and she led the team away after consulting Alsace. Then I inadvertently revealed to the traitor that Sylvanas would attack Dalaran.

And, of course, Kel'thugad.

I didn't see any special reaction from Kel'thugad, but the traitor immediately came to his senses. When I was gone, the fellow went to Kel'thugad, and although it is not known what they had talked about, he immediately went to Arthas after the two men had met.

When I was with Arthas in the evening, he suddenly asked me, "Who is the most powerful mage in Dalaran?" ”

I said, "It's Antonidas." ”

"How much better is he than Kel'thugad?"

"Probably not Kel'thugad's opponent right now."

"If you only send Kel'thugad, can you win?"

I blinked, "Yes!" I added, "He can tear down that city." ”

As a result, the next day, Kel'thugad was given a mission to lead a team to Dalaran to uproot the city. The traitor's eyes rolled and he didn't squeak.

Kel'thugad led the group away, and in the evening Sylvanas returned, glaring at me and not speaking. I don't know anything else, but that night Soval set out with the traitor and a bunch of people.

When I found Sylvanas, she was leaning against a tree, stunned. The undead don't make fires, so only moonlight shines on her face. I walked over softly and stood behind her looking at her. She didn't pay attention to me.

"Are the people of Dalaran murderous?" I asked her.

She didn't move, "What if he doesn't die?" ”

"He doesn't die...... Then kill him halfway. I said.

"Are you going?" Her voice was clearly commanding.

"Absolutely." I say.

She didn't look back at me, just snorted softly.

"How do you know that a man's instincts are not right?" I've been holding this question for days, but I don't really want to know the exact answer to it. She glanced at me and snorted disdainfully, "Because my instincts are accurate." ”
