Chapter 1152 My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous
Thoras Trollbane is an old-school king of the same generation as Terenas, Genn, Lain, and Daelin.
It is true that Solas is not a great person.
For the benefit of the Kingdom of Stromgard, when he was still in his prime, he sent a large army to invade Hillsbrad, and launched an offensive and defensive tug-of-war with the Kingdom of Alterac that lasted for several years.
Gained the upper hand.
If other human kingdoms had not intervened to mediate, this war would have probably ended with the victory of the Kingdom of Stromgard, which was good at fighting.
However, Thoras was unanimously evaluated as the hero of Stromgard by the northern countries, not just because of his outstanding performance on the battlefield.
Sarlayan has always believed that a king's ability should not only be measured by personal combat effectiveness and commanding ability, but also the ability to manage internal affairs is also an important reference standard.
At the same time, you also need to have a good overall view of the overall situation.
There is no doubt that Solas is an excellent king who puts the overall situation first.
When the orcs first entered Azeroth through the Dark Portal, facing the signal for help sent by the Kingdom of Stormwind, the northern countries came up with many weird reasons as excuses to explain that their countries were temporarily unable to send troops south for reinforcements.
Not to mention Lordaeron and Kyrgyz, who have their own plans, Dalaran, who is keen on research, has never been very interested in war, unless they can find something helpful in the pursuit of truth on the battlefield.
Kul Tiras was busy dealing with the increasingly active Witch Cult in the Drustvar region at the time... It was actually caused by the Drust people, which was considered to have a more legitimate reason.
The reason why Stromgard and Alterac did not send troops to reinforce was because the two countries had not yet signed a formal armistice agreement at the time, and frictions continued in the border areas.
When news of the fall of the Kingdom of Stormwind spread to the north, Thoras, who realized the seriousness of the problem, decisively accepted the mediation of Terenas and other kings, and immediately signed a peace with the battered Aiden Perenold.
protocol.
At the subsequent summit meeting of various countries held in the Royal City of Lordaeron, Thoras was also one of the first kings to respond to Lothar's call and agree to form an alliance.
Facts have proved that Solas's choice was correct, and the alliance, led by Lothar, defeated the arrogant orc tribe.
However, with his upright personality, he underestimated the greed of human nature after the war.
Before the Second Orc War, Alterac had just experienced a war with Stromgard. Alterac, which was originally not strong enough, was undoubtedly at the bottom of the seven human kingdoms.
.
The then King of Alterac, Aiden, was a typical example of short-sightedness. In order to reverse this situation, he was frightened by the power of the orcs and actually chose to join the Horde, allowing Orgrim, who led the invasion, to use the passage.
Directly into the heart of Tirisfal Glades.
It was precisely because of Aiden's betrayal on the battlefield that the Royal City of Lordaeron was unexpectedly surrounded by the main force of the tribe.
If Terenas hadn't personally stepped onto the city wall to boost morale at the critical moment, the King of Lordaeron, with its few soldiers and generals, would probably have been attacked by the orc army before Turalyon and Lothar came back for reinforcements.
After the war, Aiden, who had betrayed his tribe and Azeroth, was unsurprisingly unanimously agreed by the alliance countries to have his head displayed in public, as a warning to those who were not firm in their stance.
They also contributed a lot in the war between the Alliance and the Horde. Both Thoras and Genn thought they could get some meat, or at least some soup, when carving up the interests of Alterac.
However...it goes without saying much about the subsequent development.
Terenas' unbridled greed caused the Alliance to quickly fall apart after the war.
And Lordaeron, who swallowed Alterac alone, failed to really swallow the fat in the end, and instead found himself in a dilemma due to indigestion.
After rising from death, Solas considered it more than once.
If Terenas had not taken over Alterac alone, but cooperated with other countries to distribute the territory of Alterac, would the development of the Kingdom of Stromgard be completely different from what it is now?
Of course, Solas also knew that this was just a hypothesis.
The biggest mistake of the generation of hero Solas was to emotionally mistrust his incompetent and despicable son, Garin, and banish his nephew Danas who was truly capable of leading Stromgard to continue to develop and grow.
Delano.
Because of Garin's perverse behavior, Stromgaard had been living a very miserable life in the past few years.
After Galin disappeared, the Regency Council tried its best to maintain the political structure of the Kingdom of Stromgard.
In terms of the international situation at the time, they could only go so far, and the kingdom's resurgence was still far away.
As the new alliance was rebuilt under the call of Quel'Thalas and the new king of Lordaeron, Calia, Stromgard finally saw the light of breaking the deadlock and restored the relationship with the Kingdom of Lordaeron after many years.
trade relations.
Not only that, but even greater good news also followed.
The Dark Portal, which had been closed for many years, was restored and opened by the Burning Legion. Danaus, the descendant of the Trollbane family, led the long-lost Alliance expeditionary force and returned safely.
Just when the Regency Council was happily planning to welcome Danas back, the other party categorically refused to return to the motherland, apparently still resenting the unwarranted exile.
Solas also happened to be awakened from death by the lich of the Scourge at this time.
After a long talk with Danas after 10 years, Solas, who sincerely repented, finally gained his nephew's forgiveness.
In exchange for Danaus returning to Stromgard, Solas must take over the Lich King's burden as an undead.
He will use the power of the Helm of Domination to restrain the undead army that is gradually forming into a climate, and lead the Scourge to Draenor to establish an outpost to resist the Burning Legion's renewed invasion.
After Alonsos Faol's emergency special training, Solas gradually became familiar with this undead body that was very different from what he had been in life.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sharlayan unreservedly shared his arrangements for the Scourge, as well as the potential for Azeroth such as the Burning Legion, the Old Gods, and the Shadow Realm.
All threats were told to Solas.
The reason why the Dreadlords chose to build the Frozen Throne and Icecrown Fortress in the extremely cold Icecrown Glacier was not just because it was inaccessible and suitable for the Lich King who had nothing to start from scratch.
The more important reason is that Icecrown is the special node closest to the Shadow Realm in Azeroth.
When necessary, the Dreadlord can use the power of the Helm of Domination to tear open the passage between Azeroth and the Shadow Realm, allowing two independent planes that should be unrelated to each other to be directly connected.
And this opportunity is the catastrophe that the ancient gods are secretly planning.
The Cataclysm, Sharlayan also called it the Return of the Elements event.
The four elemental realms sealed by the witch Hela in the ancient years can all take this opportunity to close the distance with the material world. The fire element and the wind element, which have always been loyal to the ancient gods, can add two powerful armies to the ancient gods' faction.

The Cataclysm will not only shorten the distance between the elemental world and Azeroth, but all planes, including the Emerald Dream, will gradually get closer to the material world in the process.
Although Sharlayan can use this opportunity to resurrect many wild demigods who have returned from Ardenweald, at the same time, the Warden and Denathrius, who have been eyeing Azeroth, will also officially begin to intervene in Azeroth.
Xerath affairs.
Sending Solas and the Helm of Domination to Draenor together is a killing two birds with one stone.
Without the Helm of Domination as the "key" to open the door, it will not be so easy for the Shadow Realm to intervene in Azeroth.
On the other hand, the Scourge, which does not need food and water supplies, can easily gain a foothold in the increasingly barren Draenor and cooperate with Yin Lidan to build this planet-level outpost.
However, there is a major premise for Sarlayan's series of arrangements.
Thoras must seize the throne of the Lich King from Ner'zhul, bring the Helm of Domination under his control, and become the second generation and the first Lich King loyal to Azeroth.
With Sharlayan's complete plan in hand, Solas saw the path he would take in the future very clearly, and he was not at all confused when he attacked Ner'zhul.
Because he knows that his future career is just and beneficial to the development of Stromgard... and even the entire Azeroth.
"clang!"
Facing the powerful and heavy heroic leap of Thoras, who had already strengthened his determination, Ner'zhul, who was not good at melee combat, could only hastily raise Frostmourne in front of him to block.
Both are artifacts, the overall quality of Frostmourne is not much different from that of Stromka, but their focus is different.
And it is precisely these slight differences that determine the final outcome of this battle between the two generations of Lich Kings.
