While Sarren and the others were engrossed in dealing with the threat of Akmund on the battlefield of Mount Hyjal, a drastic change was also breaking out on the continent of Northrend, located in the North Pole of Azeroth.

Due to the fact that the dragon clan sitting in the Dragonbone Wilderness was transferred to Kalimdor to participate in the Battle of Hyjal, the Scourge Legion and the Burning Legion, which had been somewhat restrained, were finally completely released.

Arthas, the fallen Prince of Lordaeron, is not yet legendary, but with the powerful artifact Frostmourn and the Lich King's ranged power, he can even slay veteran demons like Malganis with a sneak attack.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the hard power is not yet up to the mark, Arthas is not able to perfectly exert Frost Sorrow's soul-absorbing ability.

If Nao Zu himself used it himself while possessing the body, the souls of the two slain Dreadlords would most likely be sucked into the magic sword.

There are a total of 4 Dreadlords sent by Kilgar to spy on the Lich King: Malganis, Dessellock, Varimasas, and Banazal.

In order to ensure that the four unsub-demigod Dreadlords could take down the Lich King, whose strength and power were growing day by day, Kil'Gardan took the opportunity of Akmund's arrival on Azeroth to send Tikdios, the leader of the Dreadlord clan, to the United States.

However, due to some unexpected factors, Tikdios unfortunately revealed his identity when he infiltrated Stratholm to make trouble, and was killed by Yin Lainastasa, who was found to be on horse's feet.

At the same time that Tikdios was killed by Stratholme, Marganis and Varymasas were killed by Alsace on the battlefield of Icecrown.

Azeroth's two remaining high-level Dreadlords, Detherlock and Banazal, are anxious that if the situation continues like this, they will not be able to complete the mission given to Kilgardan.

Once the mission fails, die back into the Warped Void...... With Kil'Gardan's clear way of rewarding and punishing, there is a high probability that they will be thrown to the Witch of Destruction and will be severely punished.

The Witch of Destruction is also a terror in the Burning Legion, and the perverted Sylvara who takes pleasure in torturing people will not let go of any of the unlucky people who come to be punished.

Once you enter the witches' society, you will shed your skin if you don't die.

Well...... Peeling in the physical sense.

While Banazar and Detherlock were anxiously discussing how to turn the tables, Tikdios, who had gone to Strathomtze alone to fight against Kel'thugad, finally gave them good news.

Kel'thugad himself was in direct contact with Dreadlock and Banazar in Northrend through the Dreadlord's internal communication channels "friendly sponsorship" by Tikdios.

Although Detherlock and Barnazar were a little surprised that it was not Tikdios himself, the important information that followed immediately diverted their attention.

After obtaining the specific coordinates of the secret escape route that Naozu had privately built, Detherlock and Banazal, who were ready to make a big deal, did not suspect Kel'thugad's other claims.

According to Kel'thugad, Tikdios thought that this was enough news to make the Burning Legion who remained in Northrend turn around, and he set off for the continent of Kalimdor on the other side of the Endless Sea, intending to help Akmund, who was advancing a little slowly, to take down the World Tree.

Victory was at hand, and Dytherock and Banazal, eager to escape punishment, had no doubt about him.

After sending someone to confirm the authenticity of the coordinates of the escape passage, the two did not hesitate and personally led the team into the escape passage, all the way along the empty secret passage to the frozen throne where Naozu was.

However, the two Dreadlords don't know a saying from another world.

The praying mantis compensates, and the yellow finch comes behind.

Their every move was watched by Wen Leisa and Luo Ning, who had already laid their eyeliner.

One hour after De Therlock and Banazal led the team into the escape passage, Ronin, Weenesa, Alonthos Fao and other high-end combat forces who stayed in Northrend also escorted Solas Torbain to the entrance of the secret passage.

"Stop."

Just as Ronin was about to enter the passage first, Winlessa suddenly stopped her old comrade-in-arms, who had participated in the battle of Grimbaatar together.

10 years have passed, and Luo Ning, who is the speaker of Kenrito, is no longer the stunned young man he was back then.

Although he still retains a little bit of his youthful affection for Wen Lesa in his heart, now Luo Ning will no longer be easily dominated by emotion.

Luo Ning was puzzled and asked Wen Leisa, who raised his hand to stop, "Why did you stop here?" Aren't we in a hurry? ”

Standing in a corner of the walls on the southwest side of the Icecrown Fortress, Winlessa looked up at the towering metal castle forged from the iron of Salon.

"Don't worry, we still have to wait for someone and an opportunity."

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows slightly: "Or is it Sarren's arrangement?" What kind of dumb riddle is that kid playing? ”

Wen Lesa smiled and shook her head: "I don't know the specific situation, but at least so far, his plan has never been fatally wrong, so let's be patient for a while." ”

"Sarrenne Deepshadow."

Solas Thorbain touched his stiff chin with interest: "Since my consciousness has reawakened, this name has appeared around me too often, and I would like to meet this young man of Quel'Salas in person if I have the opportunity." ”

Winlessa smiled and replied, "Yes, after all, the Scourge has a big role to play in his long-term plans. ”

"Huh!"

An ornament engraved with the family crest of the Deep Shadow family hanging on Wen Leisa's waist suddenly flashed with a ray of arcane aura, and Luo Ning was the first to recognize this mana fluctuation, and subconsciously raised his staff to aim at the open space beside Wen Leisa.

"Be careful! Someone has activated the location teleportation technique! ”

Wen Lesa also noticed the unusual movement of the ornament on her waist, and she immediately realized that this was an arrangement made by Sarrenan in advance, and raised her hand to stop the nervous Ronin.

"Don't get excited, it's supposed that the person we were waiting for has arrived."

"Hehe~"

As the teleportation technique took shape, a slightly hoarse voice rang out first beside Wen Lesa.

"It's been a long time, Luo Ning, the recklessness in your kid's bones really hasn't changed."

"This voice ......"

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment before he looked at the lich who had long been unable to see the human face: "Kel'thugad? ”

"It's me."

Kel'thugad, with a skull head, nodded politely to everyone present: "Archbishop Fao, Your Majesty Solas, and Miss Winlessa, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Wen Leisa's eyes flashed with a sudden look: "It turns out that the guide that Salian said is you, and you are right...... After all, Icecrown Fortress is also half of your home field. ”

As one of the top officials of Quel'Thalas, and a good friend who has known and cooperated with Sarjan for many years, Winlessa has long known that Kel'thugad is a high-level subordinate that Sarren has planted in the Scourge Legion in his early years.

But...... Others, including Ronin, don't know anything about it.

"That's a ......"

Alonsos Fao smiled bitterly and patted his forehead: "I finally know where the internal information of the Scourge Legion obtained by Sarayan came from, so that's what happened. ”

Kel'thugad "defected" to Dalaran and was one of the six members of the Kenrito Council, and was also the front-line commander of Mage Dalaran's troops in World War II, and he had known Fao for a long time.

Similarly, Solas met Kel'thugad at an early conference of the Alliance.

During the Second World War, Kel'thugad performed well on the battlefield, leading Dalaran's mage forces to play a significant role in the Alliance's final victory over the Horde.

When the two of them rise from their deaths and learn that Kel'thugad has taken refuge in the Lich King in order to further their psychic sorcery, they are surprised that their knowledge is out of step with the times.

"Wait!"

To be favored by Antonidas and designated as the new Speaker of Kenrito, Ronin is by no means a stupid person.

After seeing Kel'thugad turned into a lich, Ronin suddenly recalled the meaningful expression and words on the old speaker's face when he discussed the "traitor" with Antonidas a few years ago.

"Kel'thugad? Heh~ When it comes to the time, you will naturally know why he chose to defect from Dalaran. ”

"Half of what I insist on saying is out of the Master's belief that he will pursue the truth at all costs, and the other half is ...... Leave it up to you to find the answer. ”

"Tsk~" After thinking about everything, Luo Ning smacked his lips in a heart: "That kid from Salian can't really see through the future, right?" Actually began to lay out for today in such a long past, terrible~terrible~"
