The world is changing too fast, and Lordaeron's people may never understand this, including their king Tenaris...

Originally, the great situation in the fight against the plague that Lordaeron had paid a huge price to win, had destroyed the Curse Divine Cult and the Spiritual Academy, and was expected to block the undead in the Western Plagueland land. Then, seeing that the situation could take more time to slowly wipe out, everything changed in the blink of an eye?

It's just a few days...

Just as the world changed a lot when I woke up one night, the vast areas of the entire Tirisfalinland, such as the whispering coast, the Argment Workshop, the North Coast, the Mingshui Lake, the Breer and the town of Vandermar, were all destroyed?

Before everyone could react or had time to deal with it, countless people of Lordaeron and the security soldiers who used them fell under the undead's butcher knife and those terrible poisonous plague, and soon stood up again, becoming the vanguard of the undead's counterattack against Lordaeron and turning more people into new undead's vanguard!

Although the city of Lordaeron and King Tenaris received accurate information at the first time and almost responded that night, unfortunately, the troops they sent out and the messengers reminding the people everywhere still failed to stop the spread of the terrible plague and the attack of the undead army.

When King Tenaris, Uther and a group of Lordaeron's nobles recognized the facts and had to transfer the army back from the intersection of the southeastern mountain range of the Barney Farm, the undead barrier that had been established not long ago, which was originally intended to prevent the spread of the plague, things were already out of control.

because,

That night, the one who came back from Northrend's "Trimage" with Prince Arthas and others was not just the poor Lordaeron medium-sized warships. In addition to those warships and thousands of elite undeads, they also had a terrifying huge floating fortress that could move in the sky!

So, when it began to attack and release the undead plague and create new troops on the northwest coast of the Tirisfalinland, which had never been poisoned by the undead plague, and on various farm towns, and in the absence of defense and no idea how to defend, in the absence of days, the entire Tirisfalinland, except for the Royal City of Lordaeron, were still under control, and other places were all caught.

And that huge and terrifying black shadow, the terrifying fortress that can float, is the ancient and transformed building from Northrend, the Nilub psychic tower, but now it has a new name, that is Naxxarmas!!

then,

Countless refugees, who were relatively well-informed, or were timid, had rushed to the Lordaeron City from all over the Tirisfallinland, from manors, farms, towns, and other scattered places before the tide of the undead came, before the official system of the Lordaeron Kingdom organized the system, they flocked to Lordaeron from all over the Tirisfallinland, from those manors, farms, towns, and other scattered places to escape the disaster!

Those who are brave, think they are brave and not afraid of death, or think they are strong enough to resist the plague, or those who are not very smart, are now all become part of the undead army!

They either turned into zombies with stiff movements and even more fearlessness, or were used by the necromancers and summoned into skeleton warriors, or simply entered the ghoul's belly, or were cut into three or five pieces and picked up some suitable ones and sewed them to the haters. Other parts were tucked into meat grinding trucks, used as mobile rations for ghouls or plague corpses during siege...

Then,

When countless refugees flocked to Lordaeron, the city instantly became crowded.

Countless streets, parks, bridges, benches on the street, under trees that can escape shade, etc., are filled with refugees who are carrying their families and carrying large and small bags of bags of bags to sit on the ground waiting for the kingdom's arrangements and relief.

Although the Royal City of Lordaeron is not as large as the northern pearl of Stantolom and the population is far less than that of Stantolom, there are still many people in the rich Tirisfalin area. So when refugees flock in, the population of Lordaeron is far greater than that of the time when Stantolom was destroyed!

“…”

"There seems to be more refugees today than yesterday, even the outer walls of the palace are crowded with people..."

It was still the terrace of the palace castle, and it was still the place that could overlook the entire huge royal city of Lordaeron. Princess Galia Minaihill stood here and looked around the tragic scenes in the Lordaeron streets and parks in front, then turned around and asked quietly to the little witch Hermione beside her.

"Hermione, do you think our soldiers and generals can really defend this Lord Lordean City? I heard that it seems that other places have fallen. Are those undead really that scary?"

A few days ago, she and Hermione and Jaina's sister were here to watch the same scenery. At that time, Jalia still privately mocked Jaina for being timid and afraid of things and blamed hermione for even the great hero of Lordaeron, the Countess of Lordaeron, who wanted to kidnap her.

But now...

The facts seem to have confirmed the previous worries and premonitions of Jaina's sister, and confirmed how correct what the other party said and how far-sighted the other party was worried about!

At present, the undead are indeed coming in full force. The entire Tirisfalin land has almost become an epidemic area overnight. A large number of people have become the minions of the evil undead. The living people have not had time to escape to Lordaeron, so they either flee to the Silver Song Forest or take the risk of escaping the Western Plagueland. The situation in the entire Tirisfalin land is instantly deteriorating to the extreme.

"The undead is actually not scary, what is scary is the plagues..."

Looking at the scene in the city, Hermione sighed slowly...

"But you don't have to worry about Jalia. His Majesty the King and Lord Uther have urgently sought support from Dalaran and Eagle Nest Mountain. Before the undead army arrived outside the walls of Lordaeron, they would definitely be able to come and reinforce Lordaeron."

"Also, the Knights of the Silver Hands in Hadohar should have received an order at this time. They will gather all the Paladins and as many cavalry as possible within five days and then rush to assist Lordaeron. I think if it is just defending Lordaeron, there should be no big problem, right?"

In fact, she also knew that the situation was even worse than she had imagined, because the undead was developing too fiercely, and the large number of zombies were created in the land of Tirisfalin, as well as the newly discovered terrifying crypt demons, gargoyles, obsidian figures, banshees, huge Vicu undeads and frost dragons, etc., plus the flying fortress, which really made Lordaeron's defense pressure suppressed to the extreme!

If they hadn't accidentally discovered something wrong when they went to welcome him and ran back to alert the king, making Lordaeron prepare in advance a few days earlier, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what happened here...

Anyway, once the dead are caught off guard, they will definitely happen that terrible scenes that no one wants to see.

"Ah? The Silver Hand is going to be transferred back too?"

"But, in that case, will Andorhal and the Eastern Plagueland not need defense? I heard the guards talking about it, and the undead in the Stantosom area also seemed to be active. I heard that General Abidis's line of defense at the intersection of Korlin will soon be unable to defend?"

It can be said that the Paladins of the Silver Hand who had been cleaning up the undead and the plague in Andorhal are Lordaeron's most powerful mobile troops and are also the most powerful elites to deal with the undead. The reason why they are stationed in Andorhal is to support the Eastern Plague Land when necessary. Now, once they are recalled, I don't know what will happen at the intersection of Kaolin Road?

Even though Jaliya didn't understand military affairs, she knew that the 20,000 to 30,000 troops under General Abidis would definitely not withstand the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of undead troops, let alone the flat places like the intersection of Kaolin Road.

"Okay!"

"Galia, I think your father, His Majesty King Tenaris and Lord Uther, will definitely consider that. They will definitely have some way of doing it. Let's stop talking about those things..."

"Don't worry, I think everything will get better slowly, I will definitely!"

Even though she said that, Hermione actually understood more than anyone else that things would not get better easily.

After Andoral and the troops who had originally defended against the undead and spread to the land of Tirisfalin were all urgently dispatched to the Royal City of Lordaeron to participate in the defense, it can be said that the plague land of the empty defense has been temporarily abandoned!

At that time, General Abidis, who was defending at the intersection of Cowlin, will definitely have to retreat to the Hand of Tyre and the Holy Vow Chapel of Light, and the Paladin of Dalong County, Davi Croverde and Captain Redpas, have to conceal the area of ​​Long County, and use the magma and fire elements to resist the invasion of the undead...

As for the Western Plague Land, although the undead and plague here have basically been cleared out, even the birthplace of the undead plague and the spiritual academy, the old nest of the Curse God Cult, were taken down... However, once the undead army of Stantamsum spreads from the King's Avenue, it is probably that other places will definitely fall again besides the Fireplace Valley, which has increasingly powerful troops and defense!

In that way, all the original traditional lands will be left with only a few divided strongholds and an isolated royal city of Lordaeron...

At that time, with the military strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron alone, there will definitely be no way to counterattack.

If it weren't for the large number of the Ultrarank Mountains, Hillsbrad Hills and Silver Pine Forest in the south, which were annexed from the destroyed Ultrarank Kingdom after World War II, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Lordaeron would have been almost captured and destroyed by the undead in a sense!

"Will it get better?"

"I hope it's really like you said..."

Looking at the crossbow machines, counterweight casters and dwarf cannons on the city walls in the distance, watching the dwarf griffin knights who were trying to install, the Eagle Nest Mountain dwarf griffin knights who were flying in the sky, and the Dalaran mages who were debugging certain magic defense facilities on the open spaces in the city, Jalia sighed again.

Although she said that with a relatively optimistic attitude, she probably knew that the situation would definitely not be as simple as Hermione or she imagined.

At this stage, those who can support Lordaeron are probably the Wild Hammer Dwarves in Eagle Nest Mountain who are famous for taming griffins in Hindland, which are famous for taming griffins. This is also the main reason why Jalia can see more and more griffin knights starting to fly over Lordaeron. That is part of the reinforcements that the Wild Hammer Griffins Knights in Eagle Nest Mountain are constantly reinforced.

As for the distant Stormwind City and Iron Fortress, although envoys were sent, it was better to say that it was a warning than asking for help? Because everyone knows that at this stage, Lordaeron would definitely not be able to count on allies far away in the southern continent.

"Why……"

"Hermione, you must be careful later. Remember to take good care of yourself!"

Jalia knew that later, the other party was about to set off and follow some of the Paladins and Dalaran's great wizards to raid the undead at the gathering place of Breil.

Because Lordaeron's intelligence group reconnaissed: Her younger brother Arthas is likely not dead yet and has not been transformed into an undead, and the other party is just controlled by the evil death wizard Harry Potter? So, if their troops that were moving fast enough and the raiding force is strong enough, it should be very likely that Arthas will be rescued?

“…”

"Don't worry, Sister Jalia, I'll definitely be fine!"

Hermione smiled at the other party.

Yes, she must be fine, because she has that powerful magic book, and she can activate the enchantment and save her when she is in danger of her life. If there is a real danger, it will definitely teleport her to a safe place at critical moments!

However, she could not guarantee the people who followed her, Lord Wuther or the great mages from Dalaran... After all, their mission was really too dangerous and a little reckless, but they had to go because Prince Alsace must have tried to rescue, which was the order of King Tenaris.

"Sister Jalia!"

"I promise that we will bring Prince Alsace back, so you can wait for our good news at home!!"

Finally, she silently glanced at Jialiya, who looked a little unfavorable. She didn't know whether the other party was too worried or because of the serious injury a few days ago, because of excessive blood loss, Hermione drooped her eyelids in dismay.

Immediately afterwards, he looked down at the Royal City of Lordaeron from a high point, looked at the soldiers who were waiting for battle, the villagers who built various fortifications and the refugees who were crowded with refugees everywhere on the street, and finally sighed helplessly, stepped forward and hugged Galia's weak body hard, and then turned around and left the terrace.

Because now it's almost time to set off... She must prepare quickly. Later, she will gather with the Paladins and the great masters who voluntarily signed up or were selected, and then use the precise left-hand teleportation spells that Dalaran's great masters are good at to teleport to the middle of the town of Brell, to the place where the scouts risked their lives to obtain information, and then raid the command center of the undead and wait for an opportunity to rescue the captured Prince Alsace.

"Hermione..."

Watching the other person's back disappear from the spiral ladder on the terrace, and listening to the footsteps slowly leaving, for the first time, Jalia began to complain about herself...

Because, she suddenly discovered that the people she knew, whether they were Jaina, Arthas, or the fourteen-year-old Hermione, could use their own strength to work hard to stop the terrible plague when disaster or danger came, but she, the princess of Lordaeron, could not help at all, and could only watch everything happen but could do nothing?

Dong~! Dong~! Dong~! Dong~!

Suddenly, the rapid bronze bell rang...

However, Galia knew that it was not the melodious bells of the time or festive activities that were used to be heard, but the sound of summoning a certain unit to defend.

The war is getting closer and closer to Lordaeron, and those terrifying and evil undead troops gathered in Breil. Even if the army walks over, it will only take two or three days at most. At that time, under the attack of the undead, I don’t know what Lordaeron will look like?

...

Dong~!

Dong~! Dong~!

The sound of the huge bronze bell that can only be rotated and ringed by mechanical gears is still making distant sounds, causing the surrounding forests of Lordaeron to send back echoes like whispers.

At this time, Princess Galia, who had been in a daze on the terrace for unknown length, suddenly discovered that in the depths of the back garden of the palace, bursts of blue arcane light and mysterious rune formations suddenly appeared. Its light rushed straight into the sky, and it seemed that there were still many people standing there during this period?

Before Jaliya could react to what it was, she flashed towards the sky with the light beam, and soon, no matter the magic circle or the people inside, she disappeared in an instant...

What Jalia didn't know was that it was actually the great mages of Dalaran who cast teleportation spells. Uther and a group of mages and their raids against Brier finally began!

"Hehe..."

"That's great, you're finally here..."

"I thought you stupid living people would not come again!"

As the teleportation light appeared next to the dilapidated King Teneris statue on the town square in Brill, before they could see clearly and prepare for a raid, suddenly, a sinister voice came from a large house in the distance, which was still intact but the door frame was ragged, and the black blood stains were above it.

Everyone looked at it and saw a figure in a black robe with short gray hair, pale face, black lips and glasses standing there.

“!!”
