Kel'Thuzad finally gave Carlos a big surprise.
Anduin Lothar was resurrected by the Scourge.
Because Danaus Trollbane is back, the mystery is solved.
The birthplace of mankind, the original city Stromgarde, after Anduin Lothar was killed in the Burning Steppes, Terenas Menethil II wanted to give Sir Lothar the highest posthumous name, so he persuaded the Iron Horse brothers After meeting, he persuaded his nephew Wrynn Varian, persuaded Thoras Trollbane, the then Lord of Stromgarde, and also persuaded Turalyon, who was keeping Lothar's body, to openly general Lothar. The coffin was sent back to Stormwind City for burial, but it was actually sent back to the secret tomb built during the time of Emperor Thoradin.
It's in Stromgarde, the ancient tomb guarded by House Trollbane.
This matter was originally the top secret of the Alliance of Lordaeron at that time, and only a few people knew the truth. Turalyon did not tell Carlos, and his father-in-law and Solas were even more secretive. Wrynn regarded Terenas as his father. The insiders and organizers of the Brotherhood of the Iron Horse swore a blood oath, and only Danath Trollbane, who was regarded as the heir by his uncle Thoras Trollbane, told the truth.
When Carlos knew the reason, his first reaction was Bigglas Trollbane.
Bigras, who had been missing for many years, was turned into a death knight by the Lich King or Gul'dan. This was witnessed by Carlos on the battlefield.
But that's not right. Danas promised that he would never reveal this secret...
Oops!
Not only Sir Lothar's body, but also Thoras Trollbane's body may have been stolen by the Scourge.
They were all old men. Seeing Carlos' expression change, Danas also thought of this.
As the highest-level meeting in the alliance, those present were basically leaders of each camp.
Magni Bronzebeard and the dwarf representatives sent by the great craftsman didn't know what to say the whole time. Falstad wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. Kael'thas hesitated to speak. Only the mage representative from Dalaran Ronin thought about how strong Carlos's hand was, and smashed the thirty centimeter-thick solid wood tabletop into pieces with one fist.
As for Alleria Windrunner, she went crazy after finding out that her brother Liras had become a death knight. After gaining Kael'thas's consent, she was placed under house arrest by Carlos, waiting for her to calm down and be released from prison. .
On the battlefield, the alliance went smoothly. Faced with the absolute gap in combat power, the Scourge's 300,000 out-of-control ambush troops were not enough to overwhelm Carlos's fortress. Especially after the Lich King's soul control was weakened, internal strife broke out among the undead Scourge within the city of Lordaeron.
So when Carlos accepted the reinforcements mobilized by Uther, he quickly eliminated the enemies outside the city relying on solid war fortifications.
During the entire battle, the gate to Lordaeron was never opened.
But when Carlos was about to do something to the city of Lordaeron, an official letter written by a dead man was delivered to Carlos' hands.
Anduin Lothar, the greatest hero of this era, was transformed into an undead.
On behalf of the free souls who had escaped the enslavement of the Lich King, he made a request to the living of the Alliance, hoping to end this tragic war.
Carlos was angry at the time, and he would not allow the Scourge to use despicable tactics to insult the name Anduin Lothar.
However, anger made people lose their minds, and they led their troops close to the city gate. Standing on the wall was really Anduin Lothar, with his broken sword and his sad and scornful aura.
Without saying another word, Carlos led his troops to retreat, tightly blocked the news and urgently summoned the alliance leaders to a meeting.
It wouldn't work without a meeting. If it were any undead, even if it was the reincarnation of Terenas' ashes, Carlos would be able to kill it a second time without changing his expression.
But that was Lothar, Anduin Lothar.
Alliance orthodoxy in the undead? !
That's not the case at all. Let's not talk about how much Sir Lothar's huge reputation and achievements during his lifetime would frighten the Alliance army. Let's talk about Anduin Lothar's own ability...
Carlos learned 70% of his military strategies from Sir Lothar.
The best way to deal with it is actually to treat it as if nothing happened. No matter how great Sir Lothar was during his lifetime, he will treat it as a dead person after his death.
Whether it's deception or deception, luring him out of the city of Lordaeron, there are five hundred swordsmen and axes hidden on both sides to crush his bones and scatter them into ashes.
Highlight the word "steady".
The problem is that this emergency meeting will discuss more than just Sir Lothar's matters.
Anduin Lothar's trouble is in terms of influence. Everyone has a unified voice and says that if you are not, you are not, and if you are, you are not.
Everything in the valley is a conspiracy by the evil Scourge Legion to deceive people.
However, the troubles of the Proudmoore family are troubles that really affect the course of the war and cannot be ignored.
Daelin Proudmoore did not attend this leadership meeting.
Because Lao Dailin received a letter asking for help from his daughter.
As the border dispute between Theramore and Orgrimmar became more and more serious, Jaina couldn't hold on any longer.
So the Kul Tirans informed the Alliance and were preparing to withdraw.
Although the Kul Tirans did not provide many combat soldiers during this undead natural disaster, they were all kind to the people of Lordaeron, whether it was the preparation of food in the early stage or the supply of fleet ships in the later stage.
At this time, no one could blame Daelin Proudmoore for going to save his daughter.
What's more, the admiral not only informed everyone in advance, but also promised to remove half of the battleships first, then transfer half of the transport ships, and finally remove the remaining fleet.
Being truly benevolent and righteous is beyond reproach, highlighting the responsibility of a good ally.
But if this happens, there will be problems with the material supply that maintains the blockade of Lordaeron City.
With the information revealed in Sir Lothar's letter, the alliance has solved the case.
The 300,000 undead troops buried in the earth rioted. If the Scourge in Lordaeron acted together, it would be entirely possible to annihilate the 100,000 garrison left by Carlos.
But this didn't happen, why?
Because there is internal strife in Lordaeron.
The Lich King's control over the souls of natural disaster units has changed, and some undead have awakened their self-awareness.
So the undead who recalled the past and present lives all hated the Lich King, and directly had a fight with the commander of the Scourge Legion who was still loyal to the Lich King.
Even because of this internal strife, some of the 300,000 undead who were rioting outside the city were transferred back to the city for the civil war.
This is the reason why the 100,000 defenders are safe and sound.
The content of Lothar's letters is limited, and the information that can be inferred is also limited.
But Carlos was certain that the faction that hated the Lich King must have won.
The reason is simple. The more powerful the soul, the easier it is to break free from the shackles of the soul level.
Kalos and Ner'zhul/Kel'Thuzad each mixed sand into the other's camp.
So Carlos knew that when the city of Stratholme was destroyed, Arthas performed a soul-calling ceremony in the Holy Sepulchre of Stratholme Cathedral, and many veterans of the Second Orc War were pulled up by the Undead Scourge.
However, this does not include Alonsus Fao.
Therefore, during the battle when Carlos returned to Stratholme, he transferred the bones of Alonsos Faol.
Afterwards, Carlos had a communication with Archbishop Fao through meditation, and Alonsos answered Carlos's questions and gave his own conjectures.
"Because I have fulfilled my responsibilities and fulfilled my obligations while I was alive, I have no regrets in the world, and naturally I have no nostalgia."
If Alonsus Fao's conjecture is correct.
So what are Anduin Lothar’s regrets and nostalgia?
Without the Kul Tiras fleet, it would be unrealistic to organize another siege of Lordaeron in a short period of time.
Carlos was a little distracted listening to the various opinions and suggestions from the guys.
