Arthas was not in a hurry to rush to Andorhal, as he had long heard that a group of paladins had gathered there.
In the battle of Stratholme, the Knights of the Silver Hand were basically destroyed. Most of the Paladins defected to Mograine, and a small number died in Stratholme. Maybe they will wake up after their deaths, and maybe they failed to win the people.
of forgiveness.
Uther, the Lightbringer, who escaped from Stratholme alone, still had enough reputation and appeal. Especially with the help of his old friends Gavin Rad and Sage, he regained a foothold in Andorhal and summoned some paladins.
Some of these paladins are small garrisons of the Silver Hand in various parts of Lordaeron, some are from various parts of the Eastern Kingdom, and even the distant Kingdom of Stormwind, trainee priests from the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City, or students from the North County Monastery.
Having spoken of Uther's reputation, he traveled thousands of miles to join him.
Like a moth to the flame.
After driving the orcs out of the capital of Lordaeron, Arthas began a war to drive out the orcs.
He and Robbie traveled around Lordaeron, and the undead disaster swept through towns large and small.
He is the evangelist of darkness, he is the savior of Lordaeron, and he is the nightmare of the orcs. Wherever he goes, the cruel orcs pay the price for their bloody crimes, and the dead people of Lordaeron are resurrected as skeletons.
One after another joins the Scourge.
Arthas cherished the few living people very much and considered them to be Lordaeron's most precious treasure.
Unfortunately, there are too few living people in Lordaeron. Those who occasionally survived believed lies or were coerced into joining Jaina's command.
In the process of expelling the orcs, Arthas discovered a large number of demons from the Burning Legion mixed among the orcs.
The even scarier truth is that there are many Dread Lords who have been hiding for a long time and even gave advice to the orcs in the two orc wars. Tichondrius is one of them.
Seeing the overwhelming undead natural disaster coming, Tichondrius directly abandoned the orcs and chose to escape. In desperation, he entered Andorhal. He was very confident that his wisdom and cunning were enough to bewitch the Lightbringer.
The defeated army of the orcs is fleeing to the north, and now they urgently need an army to back up and delay the pursuit of the undead natural disaster. Lightbringer Uther and his paladins are the most suitable for this role.
Under the guidance of a scout, Tichondrius met Uther, the Messenger of Light.
Tichondrius opened his mouth to make a smile, which looked more like a mockery. He looked at the Lightbringer from the perspective of his master, and quickly found the dark side of his heart. This was an excellent breakthrough point.
"You need guidance, Lightbringer. I am a Dreadlord, but I am not your enemy. We are hiding in the dark and have given Thrall a lot of help. We once made him the savior of Azeroth. Unfortunately, he let us
Disappointed, we need a new spokesperson, oh, a new savior."
Uther's eyes lit up. Yes, this was exactly what he expected, just as he was obsessed with the title "Lightbringer". If he were the savior of Azeroth, what a great honor it would be.
Everyone has a weakness, and Uther's weakness is his emphasis on reputation.
"I heard that Arthas brought back a magic sword called Frostmourne from Northrend, which is unstoppable."
Uther said with concern, even the powerful orc army failed, not to mention how he, a little paladin, could resist the endless scourge army. Uther had long been prepared. Once the scourge army approached, he would
Just retreat or try to negotiate with Alsace.
Tichondrius showed a sarcastic smile and said with sarcasm:
"That's a terrible magic sword, isn't it? I admit it. In fact, that magic sword was made by our clan. A long time ago, we gave it the ability to steal souls. The first soul it got was Al.
Sars.”
Lies are the Dread Lord's best tactic. Tichondrius unceremoniously attributed the creation of Frostmourne to his family: "Arthas has fallen. You don't know what price he paid for this magic sword."
, he is now an undead, and he has dragged his people into the abyss of darkness."
Uther was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what the significance of the Dread Lord's actions was, although he had long heard of the Dread Lord's clever strategies, especially his ingenuity in deceiving people's hearts.
He is waiting for the Dreadlord to answer his questions.
Tichondrius did not disappoint Uther. He leaned forward slightly and narrowed the distance between the two:
"The Undead Scourge easily tore apart the orcs. We once thought that the orcs were invincible in Azeroth. Lightbringer, don't you think this powerful legion is very suitable to be the vanguard of the Burning Legion's conquest of Azeroth? Xiang
Compared with the violent orcs, Thrall with a bad temper and unpredictable personality, the undead Scourge is easier to control."
Uther took a breath of cold air and his voice trembled slightly: "Is this your conspiracy?"
However, Uther still had doubts. He thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "Why did I see it was you, the Dread Lord, running for your life?"
"Haha, this is just part of the conspiracy." Tichondrius said calmly:
"As Arthas became more and more addicted to this power, the faster he degenerated, and the closer he got to being swallowed by the magic sword. Now Arthas's body is rotten with flesh and blood, and his mind is insane. He is already a walking zombie. If
At this time, a hero happened to appear, defeated Arthas, and gained command of the natural disaster. Then he is the savior of Azeroth, are you right? I think this honor should belong to you, Uther the Lightbringer.
"
Uther was still hesitant.
In recent times, he has heard too many rumors about the Scourge Legion. This team is different from the weak people of Lordaeron before, but a truly terrifying legion with complete arms, neat military appearance, and the ability to sweep through anything.
Tichondrius saw Uther's concerns and continued to put pressure on him:
"Actually, the savior we first considered was Jaina, a poor little human girl who suffered too much injustice at the hands of Thrall. Unfortunately, she had a close relationship with Arthas, and she is a mage.
.Today's Scourge Legion is becoming more powerful, but they are also more afraid of the power of the Holy Light. We believe that a powerful Paladin like you will be able to easily destroy Arthas."
Uther was moved.
In fact, he was not worried that this was a conspiracy. He had considered that the Dreadlord was deceiving him and that the loss was just a group of indifferent paladins. He had seen too many such things and Uther didn't care.
Uther believed in his own strength, and even in the worst case scenario, he would be able to escape from the chaos.
The risk is just the lives of irrelevant people, but the gain is your own real reputation.
Guaranteed profit without loss, a very cost-effective deal.
"I need a plan." Uther decided to seek the advice of the cunning Dread Lord: "Would it be more effective to draw Arthas out for negotiations, or to have a surprise force?"
Tichondrius chuckled, shook his head and said, "It's too cliche and uncreative. It's not difficult at all to lure out Alsace. You just need to prepare a simple funeral for King Terenas."
