The core connotation of Carlos's journey to Feralas is to adventure and hunt for treasures through the Realm Gate. The essence is that he does not want to waste time.
Why?
Because you are cheating on your father.
Alphonse stabbed his grandfather, no matter what the reason was, Carlos didn't know whether it was because of the pain, whether it was worth forgiving, or how painful Sao Nian's heart was.
The only conclusion is that within the sphere of influence of the Lordaeron Alliance, Carlos cannot make another mistake and cannot give anyone else any excuse.
So how do you avoid making mistakes?
Of course do nothing.
At least that's the case on the surface.
Therefore, among the people of Lordaeron bragging and talking after dinner, the Knight King of Alterac now spends his days in Caer Daron Lake Center Castle where his wife and children warm themselves on the hot bed, with a sugar bowl at the head of the bed and a sugar bowl at the end of the bed. , I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat.
Well, maybe you use a silver ax when you chop down trees, and a gold hoe when you hoe the ground.
Ignorance is really a disease and it is not easy to cure.
Tirion Fordring was deeply heartbroken by the ignorant people during his secret war with the Cult of the Damned.
The reason why they believe in the power of shadow may even be just because the lord's horse farted in front of them, or because they don't want others to live better than themselves.
As the backbone of the people fighting against the Cursed Sect, most of them are veterans who have experienced the Orc War. Many of them have already married, started families, and had children, but only returned to the secret battlefield because of Carlos's call.
As property owners, as saviors, as wealthy people who are hated by those they save, these people cannot help but begin to doubt.
Are those who fall into the shadows really worth saving?
Is it the power of shadow that corrupts people's hearts, or is it the corruption of people's hearts that attracts the power of shadow?
If Kel'Thuzad's plague plan hadn't posed a real threat to the safety of all mankind, even their "Silver Dawn" would have collapsed due to internal chaos.
Yes, the new organization was still named Silver Dawn. Carlos casually mentioned the Scarlet Cross Military but was rejected by himself.
Ominous.
It is an eternal truth to be born in sorrow and die in happiness.
The simple and honest folk customs during the Orc War had only been peaceful for a few years, but they had already begun to deteriorate. After losing the survival pressure brought by the race war, class conflicts began to gradually intensify.
But something has to be done by someone. The ultimate outcome of sitting on the sidelines can only be a crab in the basket, and no one can escape.
So Tirion Fordring shouldered the burden of saving the world while Carlos was quietly traveling away.
He is not a saint, just for love and family.
His son Tyran Fordring was very excited about the invitation from Carlos. Being a squire to the King of Knights was an exciting thing for him.
Although Tyran's mother still had doubts about this matter, Tirion secretly wrote a letter to the old servant of Hearth Keep and asked him to persuade his mistress.
At this time, the undead natural disaster is still early to break out. Although he has lost his position as the lord of Hearthglen, Tirion Fordring still has the means to influence his family due to the popularity he has accumulated over the years.
He believed that after a while, his son would be able to escape that tragic fate.
Just thinking of this made Tirion Fordring full of energy.
The affairs are complicated, and while there are differences of opinion within the unity, and at the same time dealing with the growing mobility of the Twilight Sect and the Cult of the Damned after the merger, Tirion Fordring's schedule is very tight.
Especially because of his sensitive identity and the punishment he carried, which caused a lot of interference to his actions.
Therefore, when a decision needs to be made, Tirion Fordring's room for maneuver is actually very small.
Such as the current situation.
Terenas Menethil II had a physical problem, and the whole of Lordaeron knew about it.
Logically speaking, Prince Arthas should be guarding his father in the city of Lordaeron.
This should be the case regardless of whether it is from the perspective of filial piety and popularity or from the perspective of being able to succeed if something unexpected happens.
But His Highness the Prince did not.
Carlos handed over the Argent Dawn to Tirion Fordring, but the intelligence network related to Lordaeron was still in the hands of his father Alex Barov.
So Tirion Fordring didn't know the purpose of Alsace's eastward journey.
The orc unrest in the south has not subsided, Uther has not returned to Lordaeron, and Tirion Fordring's own network is not easy to use.
In such troubled times, Alsace's every move is a major event that attracts everyone's attention.
In the planting area south of Hearthglen, the Argent Dawn received reliable intelligence, where the backbone of the Cursed Cult was incubating a plague bed.
There is no other way. Manpower and material resources are limited. Silver Dawn cannot and does not have the ability to care about two aspects at the same time.
If you squat or stalk Alsace, you will definitely be able to catch the cursed sect by its tail, or even catch the "big shot".
But if the plague is allowed to grow, big problems will definitely occur.
The lesser of two evils, Tirion Fordring chose to prioritize plague-related issues after weighing the pros and cons.
"Arthas is a qualified Paladin. He is protected by a part of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Lordaeron Guard. We don't have to worry too much about his comfort. We should prioritize dealing with those disgusting cursed cultists."
Once the decision was made, Tilly Ofedin acted quickly.
Secretly mobilizing manpower, avoiding the hidden plots of the Cursed Cult, and making full use of the attention caused by Alsace's eastward journey, Lafayette is ready to annihilate the Cursed Cult that hatched and spread the plague in one fell swoop.
Tirion Fordring's decisive action cannot be said to be wrong in any case, it can even be called courageous.
But if he chooses to meet Arthas, then Tirion Fordring, who has regained the power of the Holy Light, will definitely find something strange about Arthas - Kel'Thuzad can no longer stand his loneliness.
By selling his phylactery, Kel'Thuzad succeeded in convincing young Arthas that he had control over the Lich's fate.
As one of the best mages in Dalaran and even the human world for hundreds of years, Kel'Thuzad is really useful.
Whether acting as a magical advisor or providing life experience, the Lich wholeheartedly served Alsace's thinking and deceived the young prince.
Arthas did not know about the existence of the Lich King Ner'zhul. This crucial lack of information gave the prince the illusion that he could surrender Kel'Thuzad and make him his own.
A fatal delusion.
The terrifying thing about Ner'zhul, the Lich King, lies in his huge spiritual power that can envelope the entire Azeroth.
Be tireless and never let up.
The Old Gods were nothing more than an ooze-like existence in front of the Burning Legion. Ner'zhul was unable to resist Kil'jaeden, so he could only serve as the Legion's dog and contribute to the Burning Legion's plans.
Therefore, Ner'zhul did not regard the Old Gods as equal beings at all. Their whispers had no effect on Ner'zhul. Even underground in Northrend, the original Scourge Legion had no influence on Azjol Nerub, an Aqir. The war between the Insects is overwhelming.
The insect soldiers pulled up by necromancy - the nerubians - are even immune to the corruption of the Old Gods.
While Ner'zhul was learning the Old God's methods, he was suppressing the Ancient God's resurrection, and even had time to care about Arthas' psychological problems.
The founding of Frostmourne is still in progress.
However, due to Carlos's intervention, Ner'zhul made the judgment that there were serious obstacles in convincing Arthas to go north to Northrend.
A backup plan is a must.
Then Ner'zhul thought of Xal'atath.
Even Yogg-Saron and N'Zoth cannot fight the God of War Ner'zhul on a spiritual level. How can a loser's dagger that lost its body in an internal fight be the Lich King's opponent?
If Frostmourne brought Arthas the power of hatred.
So Xal'atath is a deep and dark fantasy of justice for Arthas.
Kel'Thuzad heard his master's voice and used all the power of the Cult of the Damned to create a situation that would do no harm to Arthas.
The lich seduced Arthas into traveling to Alterac to visit his sister and nephew.
There are many reasons, and even Terenas has no reason to stop it.
At this time when Carlos was far away on the other side of the sea, Arthas embarked on the path of conspiracy filled with light, full of curiosity about the sword of royal power, Stromka War Destroyer.
