Achieve success, gain fame and fortune, be admired by all people, and leave a name in history.
Regarding this matter, Fording has long been familiar with it and knows how to operate it to obtain the maximum benefit for himself.
The first thing is to select the right people.
The Dove of Peace sent some soldiers, but Fording looked down upon them at all.
They are just some humble slaves, born lowly, drained of their value, weak and suffering from all kinds of diseases, and become the army food of the orcs.
What Fording needs are some children of truly noble families, or children of wealthy businessmen who can bring him extensive connections and huge benefits.
Fording was not the only one who took a fancy to this. The nobles of the Alliance and the Horde also realized that saving the world could pave the way for a career with a bright future, so they sent their own children one after another.
Some big businessmen paid high prices just to place their children into Fordring's team, and the quota to eliminate the Lich King quickly fetched more than ten million gold coins.
Saving the world is never free.
Under the operation of the Dove of Peace, Fording quickly gained both fame and fortune. He accumulated a mountain of wealth and was as rich as any country. It is said that if the gold coins of the Silver Crusade were melted, it would be enough to build an Ice Crown Fortress.
Fording divided the noble children and merchant children he recruited into different teams. The epic team faced the most difficult Lich King, the elite team faced the slightly more difficult Lich King, and the ordinary team just gained the reputation of saving the world.
Teams of different difficulties will receive different levels of publicity and exposure. Only members of epic teams are qualified to write their names into history.
On this day, Northrend received a rare good weather, with sunny wind and clear clouds, which was perfect for marching into Icecrown Fortress. Fording led the Silver Northern Expedition to approach Icecrown Fortress.
The media in Azeroth followed and reported the whole process. Countless goblins, gnomes, kobolds, etc. were ready with all kinds of guns and cannons. In order to report this major event, some media even used precious video gems.
The goblins in Booty Bay were wealthy and hired the Alliance's Skybreaker. The goblins in Jingtooth City were not to be outdone and hired the Hammer of Orgrimmar at a high price. In order to compete for the best shooting location, a bloody conflict even broke out between the two sides.
Under the gaze of everyone, countless flashing lights flashed. In front of the gate of Icecrown Fortress, Fording rode a mighty military horse, holding the Ashbringer in his hand, and shouted loudly:
"Warriors of Azeroth, the evil Scourge has reached its end. Let us fight for Azeroth. This is a moment of justice, this is a great moment..."
The silver Northern Expeditionary Army below let out roaring cheers, with tears in their eyes and trembling with excitement, shouting Fording's name.
"Click!"
The big candle Jiage came out of the corner, and the cheers stopped immediately.
Jiage looked serious and pointed:
"Fording, you must act more serious. This is war, not acting. Also, soldiers of the Silver Northern Expedition, your shouts must be more unified. They need to be imposing and majestic, not just
Shout at the top of your lungs. Be careful, your shouts must be loud, but they cannot overwhelm Fording’s voice.”
In order to obtain a good publicity effect, Fording ordered the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army to rush overnight to make a set of paper armor, coat it with silver paint, and wear it shinyly, making it appear uniform and mighty.
Jiage took the script next to him, shook his head and said: "This line is not good, it must be changed immediately."
Fording knew that this military operation needed to be written into history and could not be careless at all, so he humbly accepted Jager's opinion.
After many rehearsals, the Silver Crusader, who was an extra, almost fainted from exhaustion, and finally made a promotional video that satisfied Jiage.
Fording's line was eventually changed to:
"Assemble, Silver Crusade, the time has come for justice."
Sonorous, powerful, concise and clear, it reflects Fording's courage and determination to defeat the Lich King.
After the rehearsal, the attack on Icecrown Fortress officially began. Behind Fording, carefully selected children of nobles and merchants, wearing various brightly colored armors and carrying various fancy weapons, stepped into the ice like a group of proud peacocks.
Gate of Crown Fortress.
In order to prevent accidents, scouts from the Silver Crusade had already scouted Icecrown Fortress. It was already empty inside. The Lich King Arthas was sitting on the throne. The scouts did not dare to get close. They observed from a distance and judged that the aura was weak.
Fording carried the Ashbringer and entered Icecrown Fortress first. Looking at this famous natural disaster base, Fording felt happy in his heart. His long-cherished wish for many years was about to be fulfilled.
The epic team is right behind Fording, followed by the elite team and the ordinary team.
It is said that powerful aristocratic children disdain such fake tricks. The people participating in this show are all flowers in the greenhouse and have never been to the battle array in person.
The ice-crown fortress was as silent as a tomb, with strange wind noises coming from time to time, and many women were so frightened that they cried.
Fording knew not to offend these noble children and kept cheering them up:
"Warriors of the Silver Crusade, I am Tirion Fordring. I can kill the Lich King Arthas with one hand. Believe me, this will be an interesting adventure with absolutely no risks."
Fording's self-confidence gave the young noble children confidence, and they followed Fording to the second floor.
Although it has been cleaned, there is still a lot of blood stains on the wall, and occasionally you can encounter broken limbs in the corners, causing bursts of screams.
Fording could only stand up again to boost morale, and finally the team did not collapse.
Under the leadership of Fording, everyone climbed to the third floor.
Just halfway through, Fording suddenly smelled a stench, and then there was a squeaking sound. Fording looked at it with a puzzled look. In the dark corner, countless shadows were running around.
Fording hurriedly threw out a ball of holy light. Under the bright holy light, he saw a large group of rats in the dark corner. The rats feasting on the corpses were as big as piglets, with sharp fangs and fierce faces.
He looked at Fording without fear.
"No, this is a plague rat, run away."
The plague rats were overwhelming and rushing towards them with squeaking sounds. Soon there were screams of terror from Fording's team. No one had the courage to fight and just ran away.
After all, Fording was an experienced veteran. He immediately judged that he alone could not defeat a large group of plague rats. He activated the Holy Shield without hesitation, then tore open the teleportation scroll and returned to Dalaran smoothly.
.
Pity these young people who are either rich or noble. I have seen this kind of battle before. They quickly fell under a swarm of rats and were gnawed into bones amidst the screams.
After entering Dalaran safely, Fording calmed down and realized that something was wrong. Although these hundreds of descendants did not have the courage to fight, they all had extraordinary origins and were now killed in Icecrown Citadel. How could they explain to their parents?
?
Thinking of this, Fording felt his scalp numb and his back felt chilly.
If he is really held accountable, not only will he have to cough up the high-priced quota fees, but Fording himself may not be able to save his life.
The panic-stricken Fordring did not dare to leave Dalaran. He even thought of hiding his name. The next day, an uninvited guest came to visit, none other than the savior Thrall.
