A New Ashbringer
Although the final result was somewhat off, Alexandros's condition could not really be described as resurrection. After the dense, storm-like the Light dissipated, Alexandros's figure was revealed. He was still a transparent soul, but no longer as gloomy as before. His whole body was filled with light and holiness, and he seemed to have been redeemed!
Although he had once used the theme of redemption to fool M'uru, Zul'ra had to admit that he had never actually seen what a redeemed soul looked like. Therefore, he couldn't determine under what circumstances a soul could be considered redeemed; as long as it looked like it was, that was enough.
Zul'ra didn't know if Alexandros had been redeemed, but his physical and mental transformation was real. He was no longer filled with resentment and hatred, and the first thing he did after recovering was to thank him.
"Are you alive or dead now?" Zul'ra asked with interest, ignoring Alexandros's thanks.
"I don't know." Alexandros was quite bewildered about his condition.
"So what do you plan to do next? Go back and lead the Scarlet Crusade?" Zul'ra then asked.
"I don't know. The Scarlet Crusade has vanished, and I... I don't know if I'm alive or dead. But I might not even be human anymore." Alexandros was filled with melancholy. From life to death, and from death to life, he felt as if he had just woken from a long dream, returning to the Scarlet Crusade.
"What about Darion?" Zul'ra looked at Darion, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Although he had been rescued in time, the boy had lost too much blood and fainted after shouting. He didn't get to see his father's transformation from bad to good.
"He is my son, the glory of the Light." Alexandros listened to Zul'ra's words, looked down at Darion, and his face darkened. Seeing Darion reminded him of Renault, the son who betrayed him. Even if he had been manipulated, even if he himself had his faults, just thinking about him still caused him great pain.
"My child, one day you will wield the Ashbringer and use it to uphold justice and fairness on this land. I once doubted that day would come, but your courage and strength have proven me wrong. Today, the Ashbringer will be yours."
Alexandros looked at his sleeping child, recited prayers, bent down and placed the Ashbringer on him, offering blessings.
"May you bring pride to our people, may Lordaeron become better because of you, my Darion." Alexandros gently stroked Darion's sleeping face with his rough, large hands, then his figure vanished into Ashbringer smoke.
"May you rest in peace." Zul'ra looked at the soul embedded in the sword, offered a soft blessing, and then ordered the guards to come and lift Darion, moving him and Ashbringer to a place where they could rest, as lying on the ground like this was not a good thing.
Darion quickly regained consciousness. As a Paladin, he was very strong. After drinking a potion of Troll's Blood, he regained some vitality and immediately went to Zul'ra to inquire about his father's condition.
"I can't judge your father's condition. Take the Ashbringer to M'uru and let him see him. Remember to bring me a message when you come back." Zul'ra briefly explained the situation to Darion and then told him to go and ask M'uru.
"Yes, thank you very much, Zul'ra Jin." Darion was a polite young man. Although he didn't know if his father had been saved, this information was much better than before. After expressing his sincere gratitude to Zul'ra, he immediately returned to Silvermoon City to find M'uru.

No sooner had Darion left than Zul'ra received another letter from Silvermoon City, written by Lor'themar himself, informing him that the messenger sent by Quel'Thalas to Kalimdor had returned.
The Sin'dorei's incorporation into the Horde did not go smoothly. Zul'ra replied to Thrall, mentioning the Amani's attitude towards Quel'Thalas. However, Thrall still decided to assess the Sin'dorei's necessity to the Horde. His representatives Eitrigg and Bovar, had already arrived at Sunsail Anchorage by ship, much to Lor'themar's dissatisfaction in his letter.
At this time, the Sin'dorei had not yet fallen into dire straits. They wanted to join the Horde but were controlled by Thrall, so they were naturally somewhat dissatisfied. Zul'ra didn't care too much. After writing a letter to Lor'themar to comfort him, he began to think about the situation in Kalimdor.
Although the descendants of Akil'darah served as a messenger, there was no direct contact between them after returning to the Eastern Kingdoms, except for two letters brought by the Forsaken Thrall Zul'ra. Thinking about it now, it's not a good thing.
After much deliberation, Zul'ra decided to make another trip to Kalimdor after stabilizing the situation on the Eastern Kingdoms. The core members of the Horde were almost all present now. Well, he, Amani, was an extra, but they still needed to discuss the situation and hold a Horde central representative meeting to discuss the future.
That said, before going to Kalimdor for the Horde's basic meeting, Zul'ra needed to stabilize the situation on the Eastern Kingdoms, as the current situation was not easy to resolve.
Despite the Forsaken, Sin'dorei, and Argent Dawn potentially forming a united front, Zul'ra felt the the Scourge's strength was not to be underestimated, especially with the Alliance also present. The Argent Dawn might be an ally against the the Scourge, but not against the Alliance.
"It seems necessary to establish a united front against the Scourge." Zul'ra settled the matter in his mind and then began to consider a detailed plan.
A united front against the the Scourge needs to be established, but unfortunately Theramore is far away in Kalimdor. We can't count on Stormwind, Gilneas, and Kul Tiras in the Eastern Kingdoms. But we might be able to win over Aerie Peak and Ironforge. Hmm, we can't just sit idly by in Kalimdor. Let Thrall talk to Jaina and bring the Kaldorei into the fray.
Following her plan, Zul'ra quickly wrote and sent out letters, some to Thrall, asking him to express the Horde's opinion and mobilize the Horde's fighting strength; others to Haimuxi, asking her to convey the message to the Cenarius Council and the Sisterhood of Elune; and still others to Silvermoon City. Trolls and Dwarves didn't have much of a relationship, but the Sin'dorei were different. They were quite close to the Dwarves of Aerie Peak, and the Dalaran spies were there under the guise of ambassadors from Aerie Peak.
In addition to the letter, Zul'ra also gave orders to Prag in Durnholde, instructing her to contact Duke Foulcrest of the Syndicate. Although the Alterac people were somewhat useless, they could still be used as cannon fodder. She also asked the Syndicate to find out the whereabouts of Velinde, as there were also people from the Kaldorei in the Eastern Kingdoms.
In short, all available resources should be mobilized. The Scourge are the enemy of all life, and everyone should contribute. Don't just think about Amani contributing alone. Zul'ra was making plans in his mind as he wrote letters and orders.
As letters and orders poured out like snowflakes, all forces were quickly mobilized. Whether they wanted to pay attention or not, Zul'ra had at least made his point and issued his call to action. Whether they came or not, whether they contributed to the world or not, was up to them.
Just as Zul'ra was writing to the four directions to issue orders, the grain in Amani was slowly ripening.
There was no more at night.
