"According to intelligence, the enemy will use Gaul's remaining forces as the vanguard and look for an opportunity to land in the Eastern Kingdoms.
"At the same time, they intend to restart the Dark Portal, foolishly hoping to contact the races on the other side and resist the Leader together."
In Stormwind City's royal palace, a stern-faced man stood before a large sand table of the Eastern Kingdoms, continuously explaining the current situation.
At this meeting, members of The Scourge such as liches and Death Knights occupied half the room. Some were natives loyal to the Lich King, while others were Reincarnators. The other half consisted of Reincarnators with various other abilities.
After all, not everyone chose this path. The man leading the meeting was General Drol, the overall commander responsible for the southern battlefield of the Eastern Kingdoms.
The Dark Portal also fell within his jurisdiction.
"Those useless Gaul fools?"
Someone scoffed disdainfully.
"The ones left after the tide receded aren't exactly useless. They've caused us quite a few problems, haven't they?"
The man beside him sighed.
"But they think they can land with just that?"
"We can't control the entire coastline of the Eastern Kingdoms. Besides, the people of Stormwind City won't wholeheartedly work for us."
"Hmph, we should turn them all into undead!"
As they discussed the matter, a guard hurried in and said,
"General Drol, nobles from Stormwind City request an audience."
"Tell them to wait."
General Drol, who was presiding over the meeting, frowned.
Those restless nobles seemed quite desperate.
"Hehe, if you don't want to see them, General, you can authorize me. I've had my eye on Duchess Katarina for a long time."
The Reincarnator who had started mocking Gaul chuckled. His lewd remark brought a hint of relaxation to the otherwise solemn meeting.
