After negotiating all matters, Sarlayan locked the coordinates left by Jaina in the Guardian Temple, and with the help of the mages of the Tirisfal Council, he teleported directly to the Barov family's castle on Keldaron Island. Inside.
Under the guidance of the waiter who had been waiting for him, Sarlayan slowly followed him towards the reception room of Barov Castle.
Barov Castle, located in the center of Lake Darrowmere, did not seem to be affected by the approaching civil war in Lordaeron. Along the way, Sarlayan did not see any panic from the servants in the castle.
[It’s normal. The Scourge is busy attacking Lordaeron at the moment. There is really no need to start a war between the two fronts and offend Alterac. 】
[Besides, Keldaron is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is only a bridge in the south leading to the Hinterlands that connects to the land. 】
[To attack in a detour, the Scourge needs to first capture the border post Icewind Post controlled by Alterac. This post has been reinforced many times after the Battle of Alterac and is not that easy to capture. 】
[Of course, the Scourge Legion can also choose to wade directly from the water. 】
[But with Valeera and Jaina, who know the characteristics of the undead, it is impossible for the Barov family to be undefended, and it is basically impossible for the undead to sneak onto the island from underwater. 】
The fact is as analyzed by the barrage. It is not that the Scourge Legion has never tried to sneak under the water.
But the undead they sent underwater were discovered early by the early warning circle set up by Gianna and the hostess of the Barov family, Yin Lucia. Before they even landed on the island, they were stunned by the water elemental ambushing in the lake. A severe beating.
It is true that the undead who do not need to breathe can move underwater for a long time, but this does not mean that they are good at water combat.
Due to Sarlayan's strong connections, the water element summoned by Jaina, his partner, was not the kind of mindless low-level stuff.
The water elements lurking in Lake Darrowmere are all elites who responded to the call for reinforcements with Neptulon's permission. Fighting the undead at home underwater is not as easy as a father beating his son.
Moreover, Arthas had no intention of expending great efforts to capture Caer Dalon. He just wanted to test whether he could steal a chicken and lay a rear position for the Scourge to prove his military capabilities.
After hitting his head and bleeding heavily in Lake Darrowmere, Arthas immediately became honest under Ner'zhul's hairdryer-like scolding, and did not dare to do casual work anymore.
Knowing that Sarlayan had come all the way from Dalaran, Alex and Yin Lucia entertained him as warmly as ever.
In order to ensure the safety of his family, Alex built a towering watchtower in the castle long before Alterac was restored.
Standing on the top of the watchtower, you can overlook most of the flat terrain of East Tirisfal, and have a panoramic view of the ongoing civil war in Lordaeron.
This is also the main reason why Valeera and Jaina have been staying at Barov Castle. This is undoubtedly the best place to watch the battle.
According to the original plan, Sharlayan originally planned to return to Quel'Thalas first, learn about the specific circumstances of Dar'Khan's death from his mother, and report face-to-face to Kael'thas on the results of this trip.
After some exchanges between Dalaran and Aegwynn, Sharlayan temporarily changed his plan and went directly to Barov Castle to meet with Valeera and Jaina. He also asked him who had just returned to Unicorn Town. How long ago Stellagosa issued a call.
The changes in the situation in Lordaeron are of course crucial, and Sharlayan cannot blindly ignore other things happening at the same time.
Ever since the two foolish sons, Alex and Wilton, were struck by thunder one after another during the Battle of Alterac, Alex had placed his hope of inheriting the family on his youngest daughter, Jadis.
Even though the hostess of the Barov family, Yin Lucia, always looks like a powerless noblewoman, in fact, she was also a famous genius mage in Dalaran when she was young, with countless suitors.
Although Yin Lucia has slacked off on her magic practice after getting married, it is more than enough to provide her daughter with entry-level tutoring.
Since being established as the heir to the family by his parents, Jardis' once leisurely life has gone forever.
In the morning, she needs to stay with her father to receive education related to territory management and lord's responsibilities, and in the afternoon, she needs to learn spells under the guidance of her mother.
In a feudal era like Azeroth, where supernatural powers exist, even a lord needs to have a certain amount of combat power. The stronger, the better.
Even the king needs to go to the battlefield himself when necessary, so how can the lords from all over the world avoid the battle completely.
Leaving his wife to continue teaching the sad-faced baby daughter, Alex personally took Sarlayan to the watchtower of the castle, and went directly to the top of the tower through the teleportation array set up by Yin Lucia in front of the tower.
When Sarlayan arrived at Barov Castle, Jaina and Valeela were still on the watchtower closely monitoring the progress of the battle.
"How is the battle going? Are there any new changes?"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from behind, the two frowned slightly and turned around.
Valeela first nodded politely to Alex, the owner of the castle. After Alex left on his own initiative, she said to Saryan: "Up to now, the development of the situation has been under the control of the plan. within range.”
Valeela habitually handed the telescope to Sarlayan, trying to let him witness the situation on the front line with his own eyes.
Sarlayan curled his fingers and tapped Valeera's forehead in a funny way: "Are you applying it? I don't need this kind of thing."
"Huh? Oh~"
Valeela was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and stuck out her tongue playfully.
"I forgot that you have the Eagle Eye Technique...I've always been curious why a warrior like you, Gadru Yin, has the skills of a ranger."
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "No one stipulates that you can't practice skills across professions, so just tell me whether this skill is easy to use, right?"
Valeera smiled helplessly: "Yes, you are right. After this time is over, I will also take the time to go to Vereesa and continue to learn the Eagle Eye skill. This skill is indeed very useful for scouts." help."
Under the guidance of Valeela, Sarlayan, who turned on the eagle eye technique, quickly captured the place where the two warring parties were fiercely fighting for each other - Dalson Farm.
As the alliance countries desperately squeezed out some troops to transport to Lordaeron for reinforcements, Uther's successful ambush also affected the morale of the rebels to a certain extent, and the two warring sides were temporarily evenly matched.
The Scourge also wanted to repeat their old trick of letting the undead nerubians burrow into the ground to attack behind the Lordaeron defenders, but Uther was prepared for this in advance. He asked the paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand to take uninterrupted shifts. Release Holy Light Offering near the frontline position.
This Paladin-specific spell can drive the power of holy light into the ground to burn enemies. After a period of maintenance, the land outside Dalson Farm showed signs of semi-permanent holy soil.
Under the influence of the directional holy light of the Paladins, once the undead spider demons sneak into the underground of the garrison position, they will continue to be burned by the holy light, making their souls hidden in the undead bodies miserable.
But this move is actually a double-edged sword.
If the holy soil takes too long, the land here will be irreversibly transformed like the Light's Hope Chapel.
Although this can create a holy land that the undead and demons cannot invade, it will also completely destroy the organic components in the soil, making it impossible to grow any food crops in the holy land.
Infected by Uther's desperate determination to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, the Lordaeron defenders, who were still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, miraculously maintained the front line and firmly blocked the Scourge from the defense line of Dalson Farm.
This situation is unacceptable to the Scourge, who are eager for success.
Ner'zhul knew very well that Lordaeron... or the main force of the Alliance was rushing back from the distant southern part of the continent.
If they can't seize the time and take advantage of the empty space behind Lordaeron to break through this line of defense, once the Alliance army returns to support in time, Siwa will become them.
Valeela described the changes in the battlefield, while Jaina was responsible for explaining other issues outside the battlefield.
Jaina: "Perhaps due to the previous round of large-scale purges by the Knights of the Silver Hand, the number of demons in Lordaeron has become very small, and they cannot provide much help to the Scourge."
"But..." Jaina said with a half-smile: "Ner'zhul probably doesn't care about this. On the contrary, it can be said that he is happy to see it happen."
"Due to the lack of demon troops, we can only rely more on the undead army of the Scourge to wear down the strength of the Azeroth defenders. We can hardly see any trace of demons on the battlefield."
"It's a pity." Jaina's expression became more solemn: "With the front line still unable to open up the situation, the anxious Ner'zhul committed the old habit of eager for quick success again. He began to order Kel'Thuzad to seek reinforcements from the Deceiver."
"trickster……"
Sarlayan's eyes narrowed slightly: "That guy is still the same as before. Once the situation is not going well, he starts to get sick and seek medical treatment in a hurry."
"So, Kel'Thuzad has begun to act as planned?"
"Yes."
Jaina said solemnly: "Not long ago, Kel'Thuzad contacted Onyxia, who was staying in Unicorn Town, through secret channels and said that the time was ripe."
"Huh~"
Sarlayan took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and looked at the frontline battlefield where you were still coming and going with some complicated eyes.
"Sure enough, we have come this far..."
"Next, we must not make any major mistakes in our plan. Once Archimonde escapes that fate of death... we will have no choice but to reveal our trump card in advance. This pair will subsequently plot against Kil'jaeden. It will have a big impact.”
Valeera interrupted with a worried look on her face and asked: "Since you agree, then I will reply to the Sun King like this?"
"Um."
Sarlayan stretched out his hands and rubbed his cheeks vigorously. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes became firm again.
"Let's take action. It's time for our 'beloved' Prime Minister to exert his last remaining energy."
