Just as Khadgar had guessed, there was a reason why Saryan had put down a lot of things after the war and followed Khadgar to the upwind trail to deal with Karazhan.

Part of it is like Khadgar said.

Whether it was Sarren's own wandering abroad for the time being and not returning, or deliberately slowing down the return of the High Elf army, it was all to further embolden Naozu's cowardly and make him invest more cards in attacking Lordaeron.

Today's Sarren is no longer the obscure half-elven warrior he was 10 years ago, and as his layout ability gradually resounded in the Eastern Kingdoms, it was only natural that Neozu had raised his guard against the fast-rising Duke of Quel'Thalas.

Due to Valilla and Gianna's low-key approach, and Kel'thugad's unobtrusive help in covering up, Neozu still doesn't know that Sarean has already arranged for people to secretly intervene in the war between the Scourge and Lordaeron.

The early stages of the war, which had been waged in the rear of Lordaeron, had progressed as rapidly as Neozu had anticipated.

With the banner of "putting things right" raised by Alsace, the prince of Lordaeron, a large number of hard-line lords who were deeply dissatisfied with the diplomatic tactics of Galia Huairou attached themselves to Alsace one after another...... Or under the banner of the Scourge Legion.

With the end of the first leg of the civil war, calm had returned to the East Wilder area.

After Baron Rivendell, Lord of Stratholme, who had been personally received and rewarded by Queen Caria, took the lead in raising the flag of rebellion, in just half a month, the flag effect made East Wild's war rage again.

With the exception of the Chapel of the Light's Wish, Cowling's Crossing, and the Hand of Tyre, controlled by the Knights of the Silver Hand, most of East Wilder quickly fell to the iron heel of Arthas.

Quel'Salas, who had been prepared for a long time, closed the gate of Salas on the border as soon as the war broke out, and Foreign Minister Carbonia quickly conveyed the bad news to Queen Caria, who was far away in the royal city of Lordaeron.

Knowing that Arthas had once again raised the flag of rebellion with Stratholme's support, Galia's mind went blank for a moment, and she had no idea why Arthas and Baron Rivendell were doing such a useless move.

Baron Rivendell, who is a foreign minister, aside, in Caria's mind, although she and Arthas have serious differences in the concept of statecraft, the starting point of both sides is to strengthen Lordaeron.

Shortly after the end of the civil war, Lordaeron, whose national strength had been declining for many years, was still in ruins.

The ambitious Caria is planning to take advantage of the huge prestige gained by the rebuilding alliance to make a big impact at home, but her closest family members stab her in the back at this juncture.

Lordaeron's ministers were equally furious, and some of the nobles who wanted to weaken the royal power took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, accusing Galia of being too merciful to Arthas, which led to a second unrest that could cause Lordaeron to be broken.

Fortunately, in the recent period of time, Jialia's prestige is high, and after stabilizing her mind, she quickly stabilized the political situation with the help of some ministers who fully supported her.

Even though she was still suspicious of Arthas's motives, the urgency of the situation left her no longer in mind to care about her siblings.

It was imperative that Lordaeron quickly put down the rebellion of Alsace and the hard-line lords.

If the time drags on too long, Lordaeron's territory is likely to be split in two, which is something that Caria, who is bent on reviving Lordaeron, absolutely does not want to see.

However, the ensuing development of the situation did not move according to Jialia's wishes.

Alexandros Mowglini took many of his soldiers to fight the Burning Legion in the Cursed Lands, and the number of troops that Galia had at her disposal was drastically reduced.

In addition to the armies of the various hard-line lords, Arthas also has an army of the undead of the Scourge Legion that Naozu has been running for many years.

In terms of the total number of troops, at least at this point in time, the rebels are far superior to the official Lordaeron.

Fortunately, Lordaeron's ace army, the Knights of the Silver Hand, happened to stay in the country to clear the remnants of the demonic forces.

After receiving the counterinsurgency order issued by Queen Caria, the Needle of the Dinghai Divine Needle, who had been sitting in the royal city, the Lightbringer Uther, led the elite of the Silver Hand to the front line and went straight to the line of the Sodoril River.

Thanks to the timely arrival of Quel'Thalas's information, Galia also gave the order decisively to kill.

By the time Uther met with Tirio Fordin, who had arrived for reinforcements from Hearthvale, the combined forces of humans and the undead led by Arthas had only begun to suppress the resistance within the Eastwald, advancing their line to the vicinity of Gallorne's farm on the shores of Lake Longmere.

Determined to clear the portal, Uther led the elite of the Silver Hand to arrive and blocked the rebels on the banks of the Sodoril River and fought fiercely.

Valera and Gianna, who had foreseen the development of the situation, set off ahead of time and arrived at the island of Keldaron in the middle of Lake Daron Mill.

The vast stretch of Lake Daron Mill is a buffer zone between Lordaeron and Alterac, and Keldaron Island, located in the middle of the lake, is undoubtedly the best place to observe the changing tide of battle.

Keldaron Island has been the domain of the Barov family since more than 2,000 years ago.

Because of Sarjan's help to the Barov family in the Battle of Alterac, the current head of the Barov family, Alex Barov, was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Valera and Gianna.

There is undoubtedly a hatred between the Barovs and Lordaeron, and this is a historical legacy of Terenus.

With the re-establishment of the alliance, for the sake of the bigger picture, the Barov family can only temporarily put aside their hatred and re-establish trade routes with Lordaeron.

This time the Lordaeron Civil War with Barov...... Even the entire Alterac has no direct relationship, and the Alex family can rest assured and boldly sit in the golden viewing seat and eat melons happily.

As with Lordaeron, most of the forces in Alterac were sent to the front lines of the Cursed Lands, thanks to the concerted decision of the Alliance's higher-ups.

It has only been a few years since Alterac returned to the country, and the security conditions in the country are still not very good, and they must leave enough troops to deter Xiaoxiao, even if they want to send troops to reinforce Lordaeron, they are powerless.

Quel'Thalas, who had already prepared for it, also gave the same reason, and Kel'thugad also cooperated and sent an undead army to be stationed directly opposite Salas's gate, but the two sides never really fought from beginning to end.

The backlash from the armies of the alliance countries that Salian deliberately evacuated has finally arrived.

At least until he returns to the Burning Legion's army in the Lands of the Damned, Lordaeron will have to rely on the few forces available in the country to stop the rebels from expanding further.

Counterattack? Sleep, you have everything in your dreams.

Even if Uther can really ride a thousand, it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Before leaving the Watch Castle, Salaan made a special contact with Valera and Gianna.

After making sure that the situation would not change drastically for the time being, he was relieved to follow Khadgar to Karazhan and leave the hook and wait for the big fish to come to the door.

Time is a resource that is of the essence for Naozu.

In order to use Lordaeron's population to grow the Scourge as much as possible, he must get enough results before the Alliance's main forces rush back, so that he can snowball and further expand the Scourge Legion's sphere of influence.

Salian took advantage of the gambler's mentality that Naozu had forced out of him.

According to the recent information from the Northrend branch of Backlight Blade, which had been closely monitoring the movements of Icecrown Glacier, it was clear that Naozu had made up his mind to make a wave of fat.

According to the information obtained by the Nilub Bug people underground monitoring, the Scourge Legion has recently been launching in large numbers through the underground passages dug by the undead spider demons.

The undead knew no heat or cold, and they could not breathe, and they could have made it all the way from the bottom of the sea in Northrend to the landing in East Wild, which was the last straw that overwhelmed the defenders of Lordaeron.

As for the intention of the other half, which Khadgar did not guess......

Kael'thas has prepared a high concentration of well water from the Well of the Sun in advance.

Not many people in Quel'Salas knew about Yinas killing Darkan, and Lordaeron didn't know anything about it.

Under the secret cooperation of Kel'thugad, the inner ghost, and the Quel'Salas side.

Darkan Drahir, the former Speaker of the Silver Moon Council, has long been resentful of the Sun King, who has monopolized power.

He attempted to cooperate with the Scourge and the news of the overthrow of the Sunstrider royal family quickly spread within the Scourge Legion.

When the time comes, Kael'thas will secretly smuggle water from the Sunwell to Kel'thugad in the name of the long-dead Darkan.

Eight years ago, Sarjan complied with Khadgar's last commission before closing the door, and only returned the Violet Eye of the three artifacts stolen by Neozu to Dalaran, and kept the Book of Medivan in the treasury of the Sunstrider royal family.

Anyway, Khadgar took the initiative to take the blame, and although Dalaran was dissatisfied with this, he didn't hold on to it all the time.

When "Darkan" handed over the sunwell water to Kel'thugad, the Book of Medivan was also delivered, and the assist teammate was considered to be benevolent.

At this point, the preliminary preparations for the plan to summon Akmund without harming Quel'Salas were completely completed.

Soras's escape was also a surprise for Saljan, but his actions had little impact on the bigger picture, and at best he needed to fine-tune his plans.

Once Neozu and the two fools he used as a vessel are once and for all, Sarjan plans to summon Alonthos Fao, Kel'thugad, and Solas for a tripartite meeting to discuss who should succeed the Lich King that was vacated by Neozu's demise.

Perhaps, in other words, who will become the new masters of the Helm of Domination and the Frost Sorrow, and continue to make peace with the "helpers" of the Shadow Realm.

As Khadgar continues his exploration of the Catacombs of Karazhan, Saljan has been patiently awaiting the latest news from Valilla and Gianna from the war fronts.

'Lich King Neozu, keep using your surplus value, time is running out for you to perform. ’

Rest assured, your legacy will not be in vain, and your legions of the undead will continue to shine to protect Azeroth and Draenor. ’
