Azeroth Trail of Light

On the road from Zurmartha to Stratholme, a group of people walked forward in silence. Uther and Alessandro's faces were full of gravity and calmness. Dalyan and his juniors also felt the dull atmosphere. Not daring to speak, in the middle of the team, Jaina and Dick were whispering and whispering.

Alsace is going crazy.

Dick lowered his voice and said to the thoughtful young lady,

I very much doubt what horrible behavior he would have taken under the circumstances!

He just wants to protect his people in his own way. He was born to be a prince. He cannot escape this responsibility. Hey, how pitiful.

Jaina looked up at Alsace who was walking at the front of the team. This proud prince seemed to have been sharpened during the three-day siege. From those pale blue eyes, Jaina saw A flame, a flame that could consume his opponent, but, just as likely, burn himself to ashes.

Alsace almost gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. The invincible death added a touch of unbearable sadness to the heart of His Royal Highness, but it also made his will to purify Stratholme stronger. His stubbornness Riding on a war horse, looking at Stratholme wrapped in green mist, the light in his eyes became even colder.

Marvin, the other chief guard who was following His Royal Highness, couldn't help but think of the task that His Royal Highness ordered privately before departure.

Farric, go and do something for me!

Um.

You leave the team, hold my emblem, and go to mobilize the soldiers from the three barracks of the nearby Crown Watchtower, Northland Watchtower, and East Wall Watchtower, and go to Stratholme. I will wait for you there.

Your Highness, we already have 600 paladins. These troops are enough to capture Stratholme and rescue your people. The nearby sentry towers are just ordinary troops. When facing the undead, they almost sent Not useful for missions!

Enough! Farric! Follow my orders. These paladins will not obey my orders. They have their own rules. Go, my brother.

Obey. My Highness!

Marvin, who was standing by the side, saw the icy light shining on His Royal Highness's face. This veteran in the battlefield couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't imagine that if things were really as bad as the devil said, the prince What kind of cruel means will His Highness adopt in the end?

However, his loyalty to the royal family forced Marwyn to keep this matter in his stomach. His Highness Alsace rushed to Stratholme as quickly as possible after receiving the letter from him, but encountered The horrific ambush, and while Marveen wasn't to blame for it, the veteran didn't allow himself to make the mistake again.

So he finally decided that no matter what His Royal Highness ordered, he would follow His Highness all the way.

Marvin, who had made up his mind, didn't know that the change in his expression was noticed by Alsace and Dick who had been secretly watching him.

Jianna, I remember you once told me that before you left Dalaran, you saw a man in black who would turn into a crow, right?

Dick suddenly turned his head to look at the eldest lady, this question made the eldest lady frown,

Did I tell you about this? Well, I probably did. The man in black saw my mentor at the time. He was like a ghost. Even the barriers in Dalaran couldn't stop him. He called himself a prophet and warned my mentor that the dark forces had revived in Northrend and were about to invade the entire northern border. He asked my mentor to prepare and said that he had to go to Kalimdor to finally get peace.

Jaina said what she knew, but when she finished speaking, she was surprised,

Oh, my God, what the man in black said is true! The dark power...isn't it the Lich King behind Kel'Thuzad?

Dick nodded. He looked around, and after confirming that no one would hear their conversation, he said,

I've actually seen that prophet too.

What? Even you.

Don't be so surprised, baby, if it weren't for him, do you think I would know so many things? Titan artifact, these are all he told me, he also warned me about similar things, now see Arthas I began to feel that his prediction was right, and we should have made preparations earlier!

Dick's little baby made the eldest lady blush immediately, but she was more concerned about what Dick said.

But my mentor didn't believe him. He called him a liar. Although I am a disciple of the mentor, I can't influence Dalaran's decision.

No, baby, I'm talking about another thing. If something big happens today, we should think about how to go to Kalimdor. We have to cross the entire endless sea. Only Kur Only the Armada of Tiras can do it, I need you to contact your father, Alsace is not in the right state, we have to prepare in advance!

Did you find something?

I

Knight Dick, His Royal Highness wants you to go there!

The voice of the orderly interrupted what Dick was about to say. He clenched his fists, glanced at Jaina, nodded slightly, then followed the orderly, urged his horse, and ran to the front of the team.

At this time, the main entrance of Stratholme was already in sight, and on the opposite side of the moat, thousands of Lordaeron soldiers assembled under the leadership of their respective officers, surrounded the main entrance of Stratholme firmly, and could They saw that they were setting up a defensive line, and black smoke had already risen in the originally bustling Stratholme city, and the huge noise could be clearly heard even across a river.

Alsace turned over from his horse and fell to the ground, stumbling, Dick hurriedly supported him, the prince smiled at him, killed Kel'Thuzad before Dick and Jaina rescued Farric, And after bringing reinforcements and exposing the illusion of the Dreadlord, Arthas put him in his camp as a matter of course.

His Royal Highness walked up to the line of defense, Uther and Alessandro followed behind him, and the paladins dismounted one after another. From the gate of the city, they could clearly see the chaotic scene in the city, the monster that had just transformed into an undead, They were chasing and killing the citizens who hadn't been infected. In the chaos, the disgusting smell of blood and plague almost hit their faces.

this

Uther and Alessandro looked at each other, and they both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that the situation in Stratholme would deteriorate to such an extent in just three days.

I want to purify this city!

Alsace spoke. His voice was weak, but full of strength and persistence. He looked back at Uther and Alessandro, pointed to the scene in the city gate, and asked,

Now wait for the ascetic monks to set up the magic circle, what else is left in this city?

My disciple, I only care about the purification you mentioned. What is it?

Uther had already seen bad omens from Alsace's face, he looked at Alsace without fear, and questioned,

Don't tell me you're going to destroy this city with your own hands!

This is exactly the same as the situation in Andorhal. The undead rushed out of the city and scattered to other places, turning the whole of West Dalomere into a hell. I can't let East Dalomere suffer from similar things again, I. I will eliminate all hidden dangers that threaten the entire country!

Alsace's tone was very difficult, but right after he finished speaking, even the always staid Alessandro couldn't help but take a step forward, exhorting,

Your Highness, you can't do this! There are still citizens in the city who have not been infected by the plague. You can't choose to kill them all just because they have the possibility of becoming undead! Your father will not agree to this reckless murder!

Murder? You say I'm murdering?

Alsace stared at Alessandro who was wearing silver armor and carrying a huge sword. His anger and depression reached the peak at this moment, and his voice became more furious.

I'm saving my country, I'm saving other innocent people! Look at them! They can't escape! Only paladins and priests can tell whether they are infected with the plague, but there are 600,000 people in this city People! We have less than 10,000 paladins and priests, how long will it take us to identify those innocent people?

In case one or two are missed, can you afford this responsibility?

You can't stop doing it just because it's difficult! Alsace, you're too impatient. There are still 600 knights here, and we can definitely save some of them!

Uther stepped forward and scolded,

When you can still hold on, you choose to give up. Do you want to give up those people who respect and love you? Have you forgotten the oath you made when you became a paladin?

That's enough! Sir Uther, I don't have time to talk to you about these things. As the prince of Lordaeron, the future king, I order you to purify this city!

Alsace turned around and looked at the inner city that had become a slaughterhouse. Dick was standing beside him. From his perspective, there were no living things in the entire city gate avenue, and it was full of moving undead. Wandering around meaninglessly, the poor dead were lying in a pool of blood. They even opened their eyes and looked at the soldiers, as if asking them why they didn't come to help themselves.

Dick saw that the sockets of Alsace's eyes were already red. Obviously, the prince was not as determined as he appeared on the surface.

Facing Alsace's coercion, Uther was also furious. He stopped Alessandro who wanted to hold Alsace back, and said word by word,

You are not my king, child, and even if you were, I would not accept such an order!

Alsace sneered, grabbed the knight badge on his chest, threw it at Uther's feet, and said indifferently,

If you and your knights cannot obey my orders and make due sacrifices for this country, then there is no need for the Knights of the Silver Hand to exist!

Sir Uther, I now declare that you have been suspended for treason! As the crown prince, I hereby relieve you of your command, and the Knights of the Silver Hand are hereby disbanded!

boom!

Uther's war hammer hit the ground fiercely. This knight and paladin, who are always in a hurry, finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart at this moment. He glanced at Alsace , shook his head, kicked away the defense line built by the soldiers, then waved and shouted,

Paladins, come with me, we will save this city in our own way!

Alessandro glanced at Alsace with an unimaginable expression,

Your Highness, you made a wrong decision, I hope your heart will not suffer!

Afterwards, the great lord was the first to follow behind Uther and rushed into the city that had become Shura's hell. The other paladins also silently crossed the line of defense and rushed into the city.

Dick stopped Eligor and Dalyan, and stopped the paladin who was familiar with him. He looked at Alsace, looked at His Highness the prince indifferently, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, Dick sighed He knew that Alsace, who had turned against almost all his friends and mentors, was in urgent need of approval, so he bowed his head and made a promise.

Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you into the city. My friends and I will help you hold on to the back door of Stratholme and will not allow any infected guy to escape our defense line! Please rest assured !

Reply to Canon: Suramar depends on the situation. It is nearly 30 years away from the current era, and the time span is a bit large. If it is written in advance, the plot may be incoherent, but if it is possible, it should be written. , After all, it is only based on the world view. If it is to be reversed, a lot of things will probably have to be changed.
