War preparations inside the King's City of Lordaeron are in full swing...
Up to now, in addition to the teams of the most elite Lordaeron heavy armor sword and shield soldiers on duty throughout the day, the city walls of Lordaeron also have debugged heavy counterweight trebuchets and a door. Dwarf artillery, teams of mortars occupying the advantageous terrain, and a large number of archers and arrows.
Behind each gate in the city, or at a certain distance from the city wall, there were also groups of Lordaeron soldiers on standby, rows of fully armed knights ready to go into battle, and even a large number of healthy refugees. They were all issued with shields, helmets and swords, and were armed as militiamen to support the defense of the city at any time.
In the city and near the city walls, a large number of houses in key locations were requisitioned and transformed into proposed arrow towers or fortresses. The tops of towering bell towers and solid stone buildings were also transformed into gryphon knights. A temporary resting and repairing place, and at this time, the strong and ferocious flying beasts and their knights are on top, ready to take off.
After three or four days of war preparations, a large number of elite troops from nearby Lordaeron, gryphon knights rushing from Eagle's Nest Mountain, and soldiers from Dalaran have gathered in the huge city of Lordaeron. Lots of mages! If we add in the improvised armed militia, the number of troops in the King of Lordaeron has already approached an exaggerated number of more than 50,000, which finally gave the generals here the confidence and courage to defeat the undead. Confidence.
But even so, none of the generals in Lordaeron dared to suggest leading their troops out of the city to have a decisive field battle with the undead...
Because, compared to the terrifying number of undead, the military strength of the Alliance of Lordaeron is still too weak, especially since Lordaeron is mostly composed of militias, and the undead also have a flying fortress in Naxxramas. Under the circumstances!
Even Dalaran's strategic mage group was very afraid of that huge thing and the deterrent power it contained, and they did not dare to approach it without permission or use spells to bombard it.
However, what once made the soldiers and generals in Lordaeron very confused was:
When those horrifying undead armies set out from Brill and began to threaten Lordaeron, it was likely that they would arrive at the city in just half a day and begin to storm the Royal City of Lordaeron in an epic battle. But it suddenly stopped again, making all the people who had been worried about it feel a little confused?
The generals in Lordaeron knew that so far, the Undead Scourge still had the absolute advantage and initiative, so their sudden stop made the generals in Lordaeron feel very uncomfortable. solution, but they have no way to explore or get more information...
Because if the gryphon knights who set out to investigate dared to get too close, they would be surrounded and driven away by the massive gargoyles, and the sorcerer eyes of Dalaran mages were not of much use, and the undead ones were Necromancers will always use some method to counterattack, especially the fortress hanging high above the undead army, which is enough to eliminate most close prying eyes, so that the defenders can only stay in the city uneasily. I dare not act rashly.
Therefore, Lordaeron at this time is doing its best to use ships from the port in the south of Lordaeron and from Lake Lordaeron to speed up the transport of refugees to Dalaran and Silverpine Forest, so that Lordaeron, who is under increasing logistical pressure, can In addition to Lun being able to lighten some of their burdens, they also had no good way to deal with the undead for the time being.
but……
What the people of Lordaeron don't know is that they are missing an excellent opportunity!
Because at this time, the higher-ups in the undead disaster, that is, the command hierarchy, are having some kind of huge disagreement, so that when the command system is not smooth or stalled, the undead have to temporarily stop?
"..."
"Damn the Dreadlord!"
The Dark Lord Voldemort led a group of death knights and necromancers, plus a large number of elite undead, and aggressively surrounded Tik who was sneaking around on his back and was hiding in this shabby house on the roadside to discuss something. Dios, Varimathras, Balnazzar, and Deselok, the four ugly Dreadlords who looked like four huge bats, fiercely pressed Frostmourne around their waists and questioned them.
Although Voldemort could not fully exert the power of Frostmourne, without a suitable death knight to use it, he had no choice but to temporarily take him with him and use it as a companion to the Lich King Ner'zhul. liaison tool and source of power.
After all, there is nothing that can be done. The original most powerful and suitable death knight has been wiped out, and now he has to be taken by him temporarily. This is just like when he was in the cave in Northrend, 'him' Just like when he pulled it up despite Muradin's warning and forced himself to use its power.
"What are you trying to do by hiding here? Why do you suddenly not obey orders and move forward? Lordaeron is just ahead. It only takes half a day for our undead to arrive there and completely overwhelm them!"
Several shadows he specially dispatched had already informed him of the abnormal behavior of the Dread Lords immediately. Therefore, after the vanguard of the army stopped and hindered the undead behind from moving forward, he found him so quickly. Come to the door.
'...'
'Order? '
'Whose orders do you want us to take? '
'snort! Ridiculous ants...'
However, to the Dark Lord's surprise, after hearing his warning, the four fear devils in front of him stared at him with playful and sarcastic eyes, and even made sarcastic remarks, completely ignoring him who was still a wizard. Does the Great Lich, whom the Demon King trusts and is entrusted with the important task of commanding the undead and natural disaster army, look down upon?
"!!"
"You want to disobey my order, want to disobey the Lich King's order?"
"Dread Lord, have you forgotten what happened to Mal'Ganis before? Do you also want to try the wonderful feeling of dying under this Frostmourne sword?!"
In addition to being ashamed and angry, the Dark Lord Tom Riddle, who couldn't stand the bad attitude of those big bats, slowly pulled out the magic sword from his waist that brought him great power, letting the cold and cold weapons on it The power of death began to escape continuously.
To be honest, if he really couldn't fully control the Frostmourne and didn't have good swordsmanship to exert its power, he swore that he would definitely give these ugly big bats a good look! For example, just like Arthas did when he killed Mal'Ganis, kill one or two more of the four big bats in front of him to let them know how powerful he is as the Dark Lord?
But it is a pity that Arthas is dead, and now there is no death knight who can perfectly carry the power of the Lich King, so he can only continue to carry this sword.
'...'
'snort! '
'Ridiculous mortal...'
'He actually naively thought that they could really order and threaten us, the Nasrezim clan? '
To the Dark Lord's surprise again, after he threatened and drew his sword as a warning, the big bats continued to stare at him with disdainful eyes, while still mocking him as unscrupulously as before, completely Don't you want to look like you were arrogant but still obey orders like before?
"!!"
"you!?"
Although I don’t know what kind of madness these fear devils have gone crazy, or what kind of conspiracy they have, I feel that I now have absolute control over the undead army. I feel that these elite forces around me and the frost in my hand are The Dark Lord Tom Riddle, who should not be afraid of the opponent when he was sad, held a sword in one hand and a staff in the other, and ordered the surrounding death knights, necromancers and capable undead to slowly move towards the four fear demons. Pressed up.
"Undead, execute the Lich King's will and capture them!!"
Although he has no idea what these guys want to do, why they suddenly turned against him... But now, he only knows that the Lich King's will must be implemented, Lordaeron must be destroyed, and if these giants If the bats continued to disobey and disobey orders, he would certainly not mind wiping them out completely.
"snort!"
"Okay! Ant, stop your ridiculous behavior!"
At this time, the somewhat impatient Tichondrius, the leader and first lord of the Nasrezim, the legion demon in charge of all affairs in Azeroth, finally spoke.
"Put away your tricks first, it won't work for us at all! Or...do you really think Mamal Ganis was killed by you?"
"How ridiculous!"
"I don't have time to play that ridiculous game with you here anymore. The Lich King is just a tool of our master. You and that idiot still want to order us?"
Tichondrius flapped his wings and slowly levitated, and then emitted waves of terrifying energy fluctuations all over his body, which shocked the undead and the Dark Lord Tom Riddle and made them dare not act rashly again.
Obviously, whether it is Tichondrius or other fear demons, they can hide their power. Although they do not like to use their power to fight, it cannot be denied that their power is obviously not He would look down upon a certain ant mortal under the Lich King.
"you!!"
Tom Riddle was about to order an attack, but in the end he had to stop.
The Lich King suddenly sent him a new order just now, asking him to wait first... because the Lich King also wanted to see first that these people finally stopped pretending and finally revealed their true colors. What exactly do the Dread Lords sent by this being to monitor the world of Azeroth want to say.
"Foolish mortal!"
"I've had enough of you despicable ants for a long time. Now, we have to leave, because the Legion has given new orders. This world of Azeroth no longer needs to be invaded, so..."
"You are no longer worth using, do you understand?!"
'Hum hum……'
'Goodbye, ants, I hope you don't die too ugly? '
'Mortals will be mortals after all. Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can order us Nasrezim? '
'Let's go! Stop talking nonsense to them, they are just a bunch of ridiculous toys. '
After Tichondrius finished speaking, the other Dread Lords also sneered and ridiculed, and soon, magic circles for transmitting magic rose up around them. Just like that, the stunned Dark Lord Tom Riddle He teleported directly in front of him and disappeared, and he didn’t know where he went.
As for the undead troops originally controlled by the fear demon kings, they also started to riot...
"..."
"Great Lich King, what should we do now?!"
After standing there for a while, with a dark face and using the power of Frostmourne to regain control of the undead army that was confused and almost out of control due to the departure of the Dread Lord, a certain Dark Lord with an unknown expression hurriedly Contacted his 'master', contacted the Lich King Ner'zhul.
'...'
'Don't worry about them yet! Tom, I need a body now, a strong body. I can't be trapped here in the Frozen Throne forever...'
for a long time,
A faint, slightly anxious voice came from the magic sword Frostmourne, and was accurately received by the necromancer Tom Riddle.
The Lich King didn't know why the Burning Legion suddenly gave up on Azeroth, but he felt that it must be because of some subtle events in this world that he didn't know about! Otherwise, after more than 10,000 years, the Burning Legion, who have deliberately wanted to invade and destroy this world, would never have given up so easily at such a critical moment!
Therefore, he is now very eager to get out of the predicament and act freely in order to gain more initiative.
"certainly……"
"Great Lich King, I wonder what your goal is..."
Tom Riddle also knew that his Potter body would definitely not be appreciated by the Lich King. In fact, the Dark Lord himself also disliked him, but he just had no choice... So, in After knowing some of the Lich King's plans, he was silent for a moment and then asked tentatively.
'What I want is...'
…
"Why!"
"How wonderful would it be if everything were the same as before?"
Looking at the birds chirping and jumping around on the trees, in the royal city of Lordaeron, Queen Calia of Lordaeron, who was in danger, looked up for a while and then sighed leisurely. At this time, she was aimlessly relaxing in the palace garden with the countess she knew well and the witch Hermione Granger.
Think about it not long ago, Calia Menethil was just a princess of Lordaeron, but now, she is already a queen...
Although she is still an agent and has not been officially crowned, everyone knows that there must be no accidents like this, because her brother Arthas Menethil has died gloriously for his country and has been killed by her personally. She was sent to the tomb of Menethil's royal family, and because her father could not accept that fact, he was still lying on the bed in a state of unconsciousness. Therefore, she knew that her throne as queen was certain. She didn't run away, although that wasn't what she wanted.
"Hermione..."
"I just heard that the Undead Scourge suddenly stopped. Is it because they are not planning to attack Lordaeron?"
It would be best if there could be no war, but even Calia herself knew that that was impossible... because the conflict between the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the undead natural disasters was already endless.
No matter how desperate she is, she will never easily forgive those who killed millions of people in Lordaeron, conquered most of Lordaeron's land, killed her beloved brother, and defeated her. My father was responsible for the undead and natural disasters that destroyed her royal family of Menethil, and also caused the destruction of countless people in Lordaeron.
From the time when she had to sit on the throne of the queen in a crisis, she knew that one day, either the undead would beat their Lordaeron to extinction and invade the entire continent of Lordaeron, or they would do the opposite. It is said that all the undead and natural disasters have been wiped out.
Because there is absolutely no possibility for Lordaeron and the Scourge of the Undead to coexist on this continent!
"I don't know either……"
"In fact, Lord Uther and the others don't know. Maybe it's because the undead have some new conspiracy? But it doesn't matter. The entire city is on alert now, and the soldiers are at their posts. Go up, I think, no matter what the undead want to do, they will definitely not be able to break in."
"Because we have more than 50,000 soldiers in Lordaeron, Dalaran and Eagle's Nest Mountain will continue to support us, and Khaz Modan is also sending reinforcements. As long as we insist on holding on, it should definitely be There’s no big problem.”
Although Hermione said so, the most ideal situation is that Lordaeron will throw away most of the eastern and western Plaguelands and Tirisfal Glades, and then hope that the undead Scourge will not be everywhere Jumping around, just so focused on fighting them here in the Royal City of Lordaeron?
Once the undead surround Lordaeron, other forces, such as the terrifying hundreds of thousands of undead that spread from Stratholme, once they move south from the Western Plaguelands to the Alterac Mountains and Hillsborough, As for Ryder Hills, Silverpine Forest, and even the Arras Highlands, then Lordaeron may really be in ruins!
However, although Hermione had heard such terrible things from Uther and the others' military intelligence demonstrations, she would not be stupid enough to casually tell such terrible information in front of Calia at this time. Come out, so as not to hit the last heir of the Menethil royal family.
"hope so……"
"Let's not talk about those things. I don't understand much anyway...Hermione, while there is still time, you can accompany me for a walk. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, you, the Countess of Lordaeron, will go to jail." I really can’t bear to part with you on the battlefield!”
After forcing an ugly smile from her sad face, Princess Calia, or Calia, who can be said to be the queen, took the other person's hand and continued to walk in the Lordaeron palace garden that she was extremely familiar with. Wandered around.
This is the place where she grew up, and the plants and trees here have grown up with her. Therefore, even if Uther and Garithos, the head of state, wanted her to evacuate to Dalaran, which is safer, more than once, , but she also firmly refused.
Because she is Calia Menethil, the acting queen of the Kingdom of Lordaeron! When her brother Arthas died and her father collapsed on the throne from exhaustion, she, the last member of the royal family, must shoulder her responsibilities. She will definitely stay with the soldiers in the Royal City of Lordaeron. At the last moment, even if she has no way to fight with the warriors, she will resolutely stay in the palace and let the banner of Menethil's royal emblem fly at the top of the palace castle!
"Actually, I'm used to it..."
"Sister Caliya, you may not believe it, but I am no longer afraid of the undead, and I don't have nightmares anymore. I can basically face all kinds of battles calmly."
Yes, after experiencing so much and fighting almost every day, if Hermione hadn't made any progress, she would definitely not be alive until now.
The only thing that made her feel a little regretful was that Krum, Fleur and Harry came with her...
Now, sometimes, even she finds it a little funny, because she seems to have almost forgotten about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, those classmates and professors, and even her own parents... Then Everything seemed to exist only in a dream, and what she was experiencing now was real?
"!!"
"Who are you? Why are you here?!"
They had just followed Calia hand in hand to the depths of the palace garden. Suddenly, Hermione took out her wand, pointed it at the one in front of her who had her back to them, and stopped at a spot. The man in front of the violet bush shouted a warning.
Because Hermione was very sure that in the palace, apart from the guards, maids, and palace stewards, the guy in front with his back to them, who was doing something unknown, should never be here at this time!
"Please don't be nervous..."
"I mean no harm, are you right? My dear Princess Calia Menethil?"
Hearing Hermione's warning and feeling the surging magic on Hermione's body and wand, the strange man chuckled lightly, then spread his hands, turned around, and faced the slightly nervous and defensive man. Leah said jokingly.
"ah!!"
"Who are you……"
"Your Excellency, Lord Presto?!!"
After seeing clearly the man with beautiful straight black hair and black eyes, Caliya widened her eyes, covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Because she knew very well who that person was. He was clearly the handsome, polite, and talented Alterac nobleman--Davall Pugh--who her father, King Tenaris, had insisted on betrothing her to. Lord Restor!
