Volume VI: Ice and Fire 5 Antecedents and Consequences

The Scarlet Crusaders actually had the say in most of the North. Most of the reason is that they don't have a very close connection to the Brute Hammer Clan and Stormgard, especially the Brute Hammer Clan. But that's okay, except for some areas occupied by the undead and the Forsaken, the rest of the land is all within the Scarlet Crusaders' sphere of influence.

If you just live like this, in fact, you will live like this. But the Scarlet Crusaders don't think so, even now they have power, land, and their own subordinates and subordinates, right? But things are not as simple as we think.

The Scarlet Crusaders had long proposed an expedition to Northrend to rid the Lich King and the remnants of the undead, a slogan that would allow themselves and their organization to survive for a long time, and it was necessary to do so, so that the common people, and all the peasants who were still living in dire straits, would not forget the past and continue to fight without giving up. This is also the means by which the Scarlet Crusade can continue to attract people and continue to expand its influence.

And one day he defeated the Lich King, and the people who followed the leader of the Scarlet Crusaders took a big leap forward in an instant, and it was only natural that they would immediately become a noble lord. So this thing must continue to be done, and this slogan must continue to be shouted until it finally succeeds.

But to conquer the Lich King, you have to shout with your mouth, you have to use money, you have to use people, you need all kinds of materials, you have to build ships, you have to build weapons, you have to make equipment, you have to store food, clothes, and other things, you have to train soldiers, you can't send a group of peasants to charge into battle. Although the nobles said that they supported them, when it came to the use of money, they were all in difficulty, and they were all silent. So it's not okay to do it, and it's unrealistic to do it quickly.

And what put the Scarlet Crusaders on the fire was the plague that Kel'thugad unleashed again, and this plague directly caused the Scarlet Crusaders to lose a city, and there was no way to count people and money. The Scarlet Crusaders profoundly reviewed the causes and consequences of this incident internally, and even corrected themselves internally, and seriously discussed and corrected the problem of ideological slackness.

It is said that the Scarlet Crusaders got a false information at that time, and the Great Crusaders at that time repeatedly urged the general to go on an expedition, so in the end the Scarlet Crusaders made up their minds to go on an expedition to Northrend. And the person who carried out this expedition was Barry Weswin.

This guy is the one who joined the Scarlet Crusaders after the last time the Scourge besieged Scarlet Crusader territory, and he is not a citizen of Lordaeron, but a native of Kul Tiras. Because of his ocean-going skills and experience, this guy became one of the leaders of the Scarlet Crusade, and he was in charge of the navy.

This expedition of the Scarlet Crusaders dispatched a lot of manpower and material resources, and all the surrounding forces also had to contribute something, either money, materials, or people, usually they are gentle and drizzly, there is no problem, but now what is needed is not hello and me, but actual attitude.

Silver Dawn also had a lot of people, and sent his own expeditionary force to set off with the large army, Maxwell meant that he couldn't refute face, and then go there to see the situation, if the situation allowed, Silver Dawn would fully cooperate. However, the higher-ups of the Scarlet Crusaders immediately expressed their dissatisfaction when they saw this person of Silver Dawn, saying that Silver Dawn did not do his best to do this, but Silver Dawn actually sent a lot of people, and this incident was indeed the reason why the Chapel of the Wish of Light was almost destroyed later. And the person who asked Silver Dawn to fully cooperate was none other than Sedan. Da Sohan.

The expeditionary force set off in a mighty way, but this was only the first batch, after all, the ships were not enough to send them all over, and the vanguard still had to investigate the situation and establish a stronghold.

The expeditionary force had problems shortly after it set out, and this was not the expeditionary force itself, but in the Chapel of the Light's Wish.

The Scourge has struck again. This time, it was not only the tens of thousands of undead army that came on, but also the core power of the Lich King...... Death Knight.

Do you know a Death Knight?

Have you ever seen a Death Knight?

Heh, what do you think of them?

Stinking?

Gloomy?

Breath of Death......

Hehe, you don't know what death is...... Also the breath of death!

You can pull it down, what are you? How many corpses are dissected and considered to be contact with death? What's that? You don't know what death is.

Those guys were all human beings, and most of them were glorious and fearless warriors, paladins, when they were alive. But when they died, they were enslaved by Arthas and became puppets of the Scourge.

You say me? What am I?

No, I'm not like them, I broke away earlier, and the Lich King's power was very weakened at that time, which is why the woman Sylvanas was able to break away from the Lich King's control.

Why didn't they get away, you say?

That's a good question, I'm the only one who has escaped the Lich King's control and returned from Northrend!

Sylvanas's Forsaken had to escape the Lich King's clutches by sheer distance of tens of thousands of miles from Northrend. Yes, it's far enough, and also lost the middleman who enslaved them, I'm talking ...... Those lichs.

Sylvanas isn't a lich, she's a banshee, whatever you call him, she doesn't have the ability to resurrect the undead, or enslave the forsaken. So all the Forsaken in this land only happened to be under the leadership of Sylvanas to escape, and those who did not escape were the Lich who was still loyal to the Lich King. Did I make it clear?

Later, some dead bodies were resurrected, but the number was not much, and the number was getting smaller and smaller.

You also know one thing, the epidemic is only three years, and if there are enough deaths, the plague will slowly weaken, I don't know what the reason is, but this is the law of nature, so the forsaken are actually a shrinking force, they just look bluffing, and the dead are resurrected...... Oops, it seems scary, but it won't be long before they're going to die out.

I'll tell you about it first. I'll forget about it for a while.

This place doesn't need to be remembered, look at me, boy.

The soldiers of the Forsaken have always been the least. Actually, the tribe knew this, and Thrall never talked about it, but Garrosh was not used to them, and he was not used to the old woman of Sylvanas.

How? What did you say? Why don't you get used to her?

Ha! When Theramore was blown up, Sylvanas was the least active. Do you know why?

That's right, it's because of the number of people.

How many people did Sylvanas send in the crusade against the Lich King?

Ah, you don't know, it's a secret.

Of course, there is no secret now, and it is not a secret or not. Belch...... Where to start?

Yes, it should start with the restart of the Dark Gate, it was the first time that the Forsaken officially participated in the affairs of the tribe, and Sylvanas also sent some people, but the main role of these people is to spy and assist, and the people who rush to the front are still orcs, not even trolls, and there are more minotaurs than trolls. And the crusade against the Lich King is one of the things that Sylvanas has almost emptied his family to do, you know?

Ha, you don't know. A lot of people don't know!

But what? The result?

The Lich King wasn't finished by her own hands, and the rebuilt Undercity she occupied changed hands in both ways! This incident was a very big blow to Sylvanas. And...... This time it will be almost exhausted by the army of the Forsaken. And after the sky fell apart, there was no qualitative leap in the number of forsaken people, and they couldn't get up at all.

Ha, just a little, no one! No one!

Do you think that the dead will sprout when they are planted like corn in the field?

There really aren't many of them left. But they hid it well, and the Alliance's side had no time to estimate the forsaken because of the disasters that followed. In many cases, the Forsaken simply did not contribute to the work on the Horde's side, which Garrosh hated when he became a chieftain.

Before the bombing of Theramore, he had forced the chiefs of the tribe to take a stand and a position, but they were resisted, you know Anduin. Why did Wryon disappear?

You don't understand.

Of course, you don't need to understand it now, just let the people who understand it.

You, it doesn't matter!

Okay, where am I talking?

Yes, we're talking about the Death Knight...... Yes, Death Knight.

The greatest invention of the Scourge of the Dead is not the resurrection of the dead, but the castle suspended in the air. Of course this thing...... Neither the Alliance nor the Horde have ever figured out how this thing flies.

I'm not talking about this castle, but I've been there, whether it's the air fortress Naxxramas, or the Death Knights' command center, the Blackebon Fortress.

I've seen Death Knights there, and I've seen the birth of a Death Knight.

I know what's going on in your head, are you thinking about it...... Snorr, puff, puff, the Death Knight is like the bubbles in the bathtub of your next-door female neighbor, and there are a lot of them all at once, thousands of them, all over the place, all over the place!

No, it's difficult, it's not easy, it's very, very difficult to make them.

Don't think that creating a death knight is as easy as catching a strong man to recruit soldiers, and not everyone can be a death knight, do you think those gnomes can become death knights?

Midget! Do you have any impressions? It's the little ones.

I've never seen a dwarf turn into a death knight anyway. I've seen minotaurs.

Belch...... Are we saying that we have gone astray?
