Five minutes for Khadgar to pinpoint the one that could amplify the spatial teleportation ability among the large number of artifacts was indeed a bit embarrassing.

However, Sarayan did have a reason to be in a hurry.

While Salian and Khadgar were busy clearing Karazan, the reinforcements that Neozu had sent from the Northrend base camp to the Eastern Kingdoms had arrived.

A large number of undead marched silently from the bottom of the sea, landing in an uninhabited mountainous area near the sea northwest of Stratholme, and down the upper reaches of the Sodoril River.

With the help of the underground passage quietly dug by the undead spider demon, this scourge army broke through the ground from behind the Knights of the Silver Hand defense without warning, and caught Uther by surprise.

Arthas, who had been informed by the Lich King in advance, took the opportunity to lead the rebels into an all-out attack, and finally broke through the defense line on the riverbank led by Uther himself.

Lordaeron is not Quel'Salas, and without someone like Salaan who got the spoilers in advance, he lacks full understanding of the composition of the Scourge Legion.

Objectively speaking, Uther could not be blamed entirely for this defeat, he was cautious enough, and he never expected that the enemy would dig a hole and appear in the rear of the army.

Regardless, the impact of this defeat on Lordaeron was enormous.

With the loss of the Sodoril River Line, the Silver Hand of Uther and Tirio were forced to lead the remnants of the second line of defense consisting of Andorhar and the Valley of the Hearth, forced to cede half of Eastern Tirisfa to the rebels.

Counting East Wild, where most of the area was taken by Alsace, the rebels are now ...... In other words, the land of Lordaeron in the hands of the Scourge Legion can basically be divided in half with the official Lordaeron led by Queen Garia.

With the Alliance's main forces not yet coming back from the Cursed Lands, this is clearly an extremely dangerous signal.

The Knights of the Silver Hand have always been the pride and symbol of Lordaeron, and many ministers never imagined that the always cautious Lightbringer would one day suffer such a big loss on the battlefield.

When the news of the loss of the front line reached the royal city of Lordaeron, it caused panic among the princes and ministers, but Queen Galia remained calm.

She stabilized the political situation in the country as soon as possible, and maintained her trust in Uther as always, allowing him to continue to lead the army to hold the second line of defense built along the Andorhar and the Valley of the Hearth.

At the same time, Galia also sent an envoy to Andohar to ask Uther, who had re-established his defense, for details of the defeat.

Uther, the Lightbringer, was the Mentor of Arthas, and spent his years growing up in Arthas, frequenting the palace of Lordaeron, and occasionally coming into contact with Galia, who lived in the palace.

According to what Galia knows about Uther, he is not the kind of person who likes to be greedy for merit and then be caught by the other party, and there must be more complicated reasons behind this defeat.

Salaan once taught Jialia a sentence that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

Temporary failure is not terrible, Lordaeron, who has strong national strength, still has enough confidence to try and make mistakes, and the terrible thing is not to know where he is defeated.

When the country was full of pessimism, Jialia quietly began to show her potential as a Ming Jun, and all this was seen by the ministers who still kept calm.

As long as Galia, as the leader of the country, does not lose her calm and confidence, Lordaeron's morale will not be so easily defeated by the Scourge Legion.

When they gathered the defeated army and retreated to Andorhar, Uther and Dasohan thought that the young Queen of Galia would lose patience and change their commanders.

The subsequent developments reassured the two of them, and also made Uther more relieved to be convinced that his original choice was correct.

Although the Scourge relied on a surprise sneak attack to break the Sodoril River defenses, it is said that the victory was not due to Arthas's command ability, but only to Uther's lack of intelligence.

This kind of victory by surprise and surprise attack is no longer possible.

The Scourge has already exposed the undead spiders, a special class that can dig holes underground, in this battle, and it is only natural that Uther, who is experienced in combat, will prepare a corresponding countermeasure.

When Arthas was about to break through more of Lordaeron's defenses with a winning stud, he unexpectedly ran into a bloody blow in front of Uther, who had regained his footing.

Thanks to the unchanging trust of Galia and the indomitable will to fight of the soldiers of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther, who had long guessed that Arthas would be greedy for merit, set up an ambush in advance.

After suffering a defeat, Uther boldly split his forces with Tirio, leaving part of his forces in the North Mountain Forest leading to the Valley of the Hearth.

When Arthas led the Scourge on a rapid march to break through the Andoral defenses, Tirio, who had already been preparing for action in the forest, suddenly led the paladins with a striking force to fight from the rear of the undead army.

It was another back-and-forth wrap-up, and this time it was Lordaeron's side that perfectly replicated the previous victory won by the Scourge Legion.

There is no such thing as the undead having no morale, after all, the will of all the undead is in the hands of Naozu, who has been blessed by the Helm of Domination.

But Arthas's army was not limited to the undead, as the hard-line lords who rebelled with him also suffered considerable losses in this counterattack.

Seeing that nothing could be done, the young and vigorous Alsace could only resist the urge to prove himself, and at the persuasion of the veteran Baron Rivendell, he withdrew his troops and temporarily stationed himself at the Galorne farm, which had been captured by the natural disaster.

This sudden defeat caused contradictions within the rebel army, which had been singing highly.

The differences between the undead and the living were already difficult to reconcile, and it was Arthas's promise of victory to the lords that barely suppressed the resentment of the old nobles against the prince's heavy use of bone sticks.

And as soon as the victory is no longer over, the contradiction of the forced pressure will immediately come to the fore.

The questioning of the hard-line lords made Arthas, who was already inexperienced in commanding armies, particularly embarrassed, and under the constant spelling of Neozu's constant fragmentation, he for the first time had the dangerous idea that there were too many human distractions to be as useful as the forbidden undead.

Far away in Northrend, Naozu was also annoyed by the defeat, but he also noticed Arthas's impetuosity, and made further sure that the vessel he had chosen was not the material for the command of the three armies.

At least not for the time being, and Naozu didn't have the patience to wait for Arthas to grow.

What made Neozu even more irritating was that the military leader of the Scourge Legion, whom he had chosen so many times to finally decide, had actually fled after being awakened, and Les Frostwhisper's waste had not been able to chase Solas back until now.

There is no way, although he is deeply skeptical about Arthas's ability to command the army, and Nao Zu, who is currently unavailable, can only continue to trust him patiently.

When Saljan received the first message from Valilla and Gianna from Barov Castle, the Scourge had just broken through the Sodoril River defenses and were in the midst of a victorious pursuit.

Saljan did intend to use the growing Scourge to inflate Neozu's rebellion and attract the attention of the Burning Legion led by Kilgardan, but he didn't want to see Lordaeron really be defeated by the undead like in the original history.

Lordaeron's population is undoubtedly a big and sweet cake for the Scourge Legion, and if they are allowed to digest and eat Lordaeron's harvest smoothly, the Scourge will really become too big to lose, which is unacceptable to Sarren.

After receiving the latest order from Sarjan, Gianna immediately teleported back to Silvermoon City and told Kael'thas about the situation on the front line.

The Sun King also reacted quickly, and the three remaining legions of Firewing, Fireblade, and Eclipse opened at the same time, and quickly rushed to the border of Salas Gate to station.

Once the situation on the front line developed to the point where it was out of control, Quel'Salas would besiege Wei and send troops to attack the rear of the Plague Legion in the Eastern Kingdom, forcing Arthas to withdraw his troops from the front.

Because of this victory of the Scourge Legion, the situation in the Eastern Kingdom has become more complicated.

After all, a lot of details will still be lost in remote control, and Salian wants to rush directly to the battlefield to personally direct the dispatch.

At Sarren's urging, Khadgar actually found the artifact he wanted in five minutes.

"Found it!"

Sweating profusely, Khadgar happily took out a rune stone with intricate magic patterns engraved on the surface from the spatial package.

"This is the space rune stone that Medivan once mentioned, and with its assistance, I will be able to teleport you precisely outside of Laran City...... Uh, wait. ”

Khadgar suddenly remembered something, and asked with some uncertainty: "I heard Ronin say that the Kenrito Council has transformed Dalaran into a floating city that can move around, and now the coordinates of Dalaran City are still in their original location?" ”
