Yet this brilliant king of Alterac, though his end was already sealed... his actions had played an almost decisive role in the future course of history.
Such an important member of the Alliance suddenly defecting to the Horde threw open the gates of Lordaeron, the Alliance's heartland, to the Horde!
The Horde's Warchief, Orgrim Doomhammer, had always possessed excellent tactical acumen, and naturally would not pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; he immediately led the Horde's great army over the Alterac Mountains and straight toward Lordaeron... If this central city of the Alliance fell, the Alliance's entire logistical supply network would collapse, leaving every Alliance army in the field isolated!
With that, the Horde's ultimate victory would have been almost merely a matter of time.
In the timeline of his previous life, Orgrim's plan had not succeeded, but that had been due to some very coincidental factors... Turalyon, far away in Quel'Thalas, had suddenly developed "second sight," guessed the Horde's movements, and rushed to reinforce Lordaeron without hesitation; Gul'dan, within the Horde, had suddenly defected with the Stormreaver Clan and the Twilight's Hammer Clan, severely weakening the Horde; and Orgrim, usually so clearheaded, had lost his head, temporarily slowing the assault on Lordaeron and sending the Horde's main force to hunt down Gul'dan...
Only through those three coincidences had the Horde been defeated beneath the walls of Lordaeron, shifting its overall strategy from offense to defense...
But some small changes had already appeared in this timeline, and Karin could not be sure things would proceed as smoothly as they had in his previous life!
So the first thing he decided to do was eliminate the destabilizing factor that was Aiden Perenolde!
Of course, he could not simply run up to Anduin Lothar or King Terenas Menethil and shout that Aiden Perenolde
