With the invasion of the Burning Legion and the internal turmoil of the Scourge occurring at about the same time, Saljan needs to juggle both sides of the battlefield and fine-tune his next steps in real time as events unfold.

Due to the unexpected loss of contact with the Darkspear Trolls, Sarjan did not know at this moment that the Darkspear Trolls had unexpectedly encountered the Orcs and had landed in Durontar to start building a base, nor did he know that the Orcs were clashing with the Night Elves in the remote eastern part of the Grey Valley.

Annatheron's whereabouts and the latest developments in Northrend were in the hands of Sarjan, who had to prioritize the urgent attention at hand, and for the time being, he failed to notice the small local clashes that were taking place in the eastern part of the Ashen Valley.

Salaen sent an elite thief with Backlight Blade to relay the news of Annethron's appearance in the Felwood Forest, where he was attempting to corrupt the entire forest with an evil artifact, to Garrod, the Night Elf commander who was far away on the front lines of Ashenvale.

And this news will inevitably be known by Yin Lidan and Ma Wei, who are also fighting on the front line.

Sarayan couldn't be sure what Yin Lidan's next move would be at this time, after all, Yin Lidan often had unexpected moves.

In order to avoid an unexpected situation, after leaving Andarius, Saljan transformed into a sharp-tailed swift and rushed to the Felwood Forest as fast as he could, intending to make peace with Valeera first.

On the way, Sarren was still thinking about the situation on the Northrend continent.

Unsurprisingly, upon arriving at Icecrown, Tikdios immediately summoned all the Dreadlords who were used to spy on Neozu, as well as taking over the Burning Legion's reserves that were lying in ambush throughout Icecrown.

According to the habit of the Dreadlord, Tikdios originally planned to have Marganis and the others pretend that nothing had happened and go directly to Neozu to make a sudden attack.

However, Neozu had also been alerted by the Burning Legion's unusual movements, and he had already guessed that sooner or later Kil'Gardan would attack himself who was becoming more and more disobedient and secretly making crazy petty moves.

While Tikdios left Akmund's side and rushed to Northrend, Kel'thugad, who had been ordered by Neozu to monitor the Burning Legion's movements, "just in time" told the Lich King, who was far away on the Ice Throne.

It was indeed very timely, as Tikdios had just set off on the front foot, and before he even showed any inclination to go, Kel'thugad's warning was delivered first.

This was obviously not due to Naozu's own vigilance, but Sarean deliberately gave Naozu a chance in advance to prepare Naozu to fight back.

What Salian wants to see is a dog-eat-dog scuffle, not a one-sided development.

The more chaotic the situation on Icecrown, the better chance Solas Tolbain will have to fish in troubled waters.

In order to ensure that his layout could be carried out smoothly, Sarian informed Alonsos Fao in advance to rush to Northrend to stand by.

On the other hand, with the support of Gianna, who officially entered the Kenrito Council, Luo Ning was finally able to let go a little.

The Floating City of Dalaran has yet to truly demonstrate its strategic use since the renovation was completed.

Upon learning of the change in the situation in Northrend, Ronin decided to take a detour to Northrend to help Solas Torbain and Alonthos Fao take the Helm of Dominion from Naozu, who was busy resisting the Burning Legion's attack.

What? Frost Sorrow?

It was still in Arthas's hands, and if nothing else, Arthas would be on the march to Northrend in the freezing Arctic waters.

Compared to the Helm of Domination, which controls the will of all the undead, Frostmourn is more of an amplification receiver.

Arthas, who holds the Frost Sorrow in his hand, is more susceptible to Naozu's persecution, and his way of thinking will gradually synchronize with Naozu's, so that Naozu can occupy Arthas's body for his own use in the future.

In terms of the quality of the weapon itself, Frostmourn does have artifact-level power, not only is the blade extremely sharp, but it can also absorb the soul of the enemy to further strengthen the power of the weapon.

However, the thought that the sword might contain a backdoor left by the warden made Salian not interested in it, and he had no shortage of artifacts anyway.

In contrast, the Helm of Domination, the symbol of the Lich King, is more important, and whoever obtains it can command all the undead of the Scourge Legion by their own will.

Solas Torbairn was the lord of the kingdom of Stormgard during his lifetime, and with Danas and the kingdom of Stormgard as the anchor of his will, it is unlikely that Solas betrayed Azeroth and acted recklessly.

However, as the arranger, Sarren must consider the worst-case scenario, and cannot pin his hopes on Soras's self-consciousness.

That's why he's sent Alonthos Fao, who was also unaffected by the Helm of Domination, a former saint with incredible willpower who would be Soras's second line of insurance if he escaped control.

According to Gianna's latest information from Dalaran, Dalaran should arrive in Northrend before Alsace landed.

On the other hand, Wenlesa, who returned to Northrend through the portal, held the direct orders of the Sun King and successfully took over the command of all the High Elf troops centered on Shin Shandara.

Dalin, who was still sick, also took a tailwind gate and arrived in Northrend at the same time as Winlessa.

Ever since the Marines of Kurtilas defeated the Dragons, Viku, and took control of the Howling Fjord, they have been working hard to carve out the land.

Due to its location in the Arctic, temperatures throughout Northrend are well below the average of the Eastern Kingdoms, and only the relatively southerly Howling Fjord, the northerly tundra, and the special Solacha Basin are habitable.

Crystal Song Forest?

Are you sure you want to talk to the High Elves who can borrow the energy of the sunwell to build an enchantment and change the climate through the magic web pipeline? Is it my spring-like Yongge Forest that can't hold a knife?

Still coughing, Daillin and Wenlesa meet Solas and Alonthos for the first time in the city of New Shandara.

Solas and Alonthos had been buried for several years when they were dug up and resurrected by the Scourge Legion, and their bodies were decomposed to varying degrees.

Although they have been cared for by the special embalming package that Saljan learned from the Shadow Realm, the appearance of the two is still a bit oozing to people with normal aesthetics.

The well-informed Dai Lin reached out and patted the shoulders of the two of them disappreciatively, and sighed with a sigh.

"Time flies, the last time I met you was at the last meeting of the Old Alliance, right?"

"Brother Solas, I'm the only one left with our generation of kings, and I'm almost time to retire and enjoy life."

Solas barely pulled the corners of his stiff mouth to reveal a wry smile: "Who says it isn't, the changes in the world are really amazing, I never dreamed that I would be backstabbed by my trusted own son, let alone that I would survive one day." ”

Compared to Soras, who had only just recovered from death, the more open-minded Alonsos had gradually become accustomed to the body of the undead.

He smiled and comforted Solas, "The alteration of the shell cannot distort our soul-derived nature. ”

"As long as we keep in mind our own human standards, it doesn't matter if we are alive or undead, we can still do our part to protect Azeroth."

"From this point of view, it may be a blessing to be able to get an alternative second life in this wonderful form."

"Of course, that's just my word for it."

Solas rubbed his stiff face vigorously with both hands, and regrouped his mood.

"His Majesty Fao is right, while being awakened from death by a natural disaster is an accident, it's not entirely a bad thing."

"At least I can see with my own eyes that my native Stormgard is still standing, undefeated by my incompetent son, and that it will rise again at the hands of Danas."

"Huh~ The old story will end here for the time being, and then we still have time to talk slowly, and now the last thing I lack is time...... Let's get down to business. ”

Solas straightened his face and looked at Wen Lesa, who had been smiling and watching, "Commander Windranger, what are the arrangements on the Duke of Deepshadow's side?" What does he need us to do? ”

"I'm a rough man, so it's okay for me to take the lead on the battlefield and let me plan and plan...... It's a bit hard for me. ”

Solas smiled bitterly and pointed to Alonsos beside him: "If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty Fa Ao has been enlightening and guiding me on the way here, I'm afraid I would still be thinking about the philosophical dilemma of whether I should live or die." ”

Wen Leisa's eyes moved slightly: "Sure enough, as Sarian expected, it is difficult for a person who suddenly regains in the form of an undead to quickly correct his mentality, but fortunately he was prepared in advance. ’

According to Sarjan, the dead have an instinctive jealousy of the living, and if this emotion is allowed to ferment, they will sooner or later be swallowed up by the darkness within themselves.

And then it takes someone or something to become the anchor of the will of the undead who have free will.

The anchor of Solas's will is undoubtedly the kingdom of Stormgard, which he has missed all his life, and Danas Thorbain, who is related to him by blood.

Alonsos?

The former saint didn't need Sarren to worry about him at all, and His Excellency the Archbishop was amazed even by Kel'thugad's strong willpower.

The chaotic thoughts in her heart flashed, and Wen Lesa answered Solas's question: "Regarding the next actions of the two of you, Sarian has already made a complete set of detailed plans. ”

"However, the specific response policy will have to be fine-tuned according to the results of the battle between the Scourge Legion and the Burning Legion, so why ...... now?"

Wen Lesa pointed to the iron-walled dam northwest of Nyesugi Dara City with a thumbs up: "It's more troublesome and not precise enough to dictate, so let's go to the dam with me and witness the direction of the battle with your own eyes." ”
