Jiang Jie sighed inwardly.
Unexpectedly, Lord Korth'azz ultimately fell into the hands of the Undead Scourge. He will surely be transformed into Death Knight by Arthas. Is he destined to become one of the Four Horsemen?
So, were the first generation of the Four Horsemen all destined? For example... Highlord Mograine?
It's important to know that, according to the original history, Highlord Mograine was the first leader of the Four Horsemen, and the most powerful Death Knight after Arthas!
"That sword should be the runic sword Frostmourne, a legendary weapon on par with Ashbringer." Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to discuss these things. Lord Uther, I'm afraid you must return to Lordaeron immediately. If Tichondrius goes to Lordaeron..."
This is not impossible!
According to the original history, Arthas was supposed to return to Lordaeron under the guise of a prince's triumphant return, kill King Terenas, and directly lead to the fall of Lordaeron!
But now, everything has changed. Arthas's identity has been discovered, so his journey to Lordaeron won't be so easy. If the Scourge still wants to kill King Terenas and Devastation Lordaeron, now is the perfect opportunity.
Tichondrius is very strong; even when injured, he is still very strong!
Although Archmage Rhonin is still in Lordaeron, along with many mages of the Lordaeron Mage Corps, stopping Tichondrius won't be easy. A single summoning of Infernal could plunge the entire Lordaeron into danger.
If King Terenas and Princess Calia are killed, Lordaeron will truly be thrown into chaos!
In situations like these, it is indeed necessary to have a sufficiently powerful professional in charge.
"Alright! Tirion will continue purifying Andorhal. Gavinrad, Gavinrad, Alexandros, Sage, Fenna, Doan, Jaina Nicholas, you will return to Lordaeron with me!" Uther nodded.
" The Infernal must be eliminated. Although there are no survivors left in Andorhal, there are still others elsewhere. If these Infernal spread elsewhere, who knows how many people they will kill." Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "Relying Wildhammer Gryphon Rider is probably not enough. I will stay behind."
Jiang Jie glanced at Fenna, then at Jaina.
"I'll stay too." Fenna understood Jiang Jie's meaning and said, "I will help Uncle Tirion purify the Undead here."
"Then I'll stay too." Jaina frowned, but finally said, "With an Archmage here, the soldiers' casualties will be less."
Uther considered the situation. Tichondrius was injured, but with the help of several Grand Knight, he should be able to fight Tichondrius. In addition, there were Archmage Doan and Archmage Rhonin, as well as the Lordaeron Mage Corps. There shouldn't be any major problems, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon, Jaina and Doan worked together to open a portal, and the group of people disappeared.
Next, under the command of Highlord Tirion Fordring, everyone began to purify the Undead and attack the Infernal.
At this point, Jaina becomes the main fighting force.
As an Archmage specializing in frost, her frost spells deal significant damage to Infernal; she can kill an Infernal in almost just one minute.
The Wildhammer Gryphon Rider, a dozen or so knights working together against a single Infernal, their Stormhammer carrying the Dwarves knights' fury—they were using this method to vent their anger towards the Undead and demons!
Especially after learning that it was Tichondrius who personally captured their Lord Korth'azz, they vented all their anger on Infernal!
Jiang Jie, on the other hand, worked with Fenna to purify the Undead.
" Nicholas." Fenna cleaved a Ghoul in two with a single sword strike, and Ashbringer burned it to ashes. Then she turned to look into Jiang Jie's eyes. "Although I don't quite agree, I have to admit..."
"It was all your arrangement that allowed me to obtain it, Ashbringer. Why are you so good to me? I... don't know how to repay you." "How about repaying me with your body?" Jiang Jie smiled, then shook his head and said, " Fenna, although you have obtained Ashbringer, you don't have the strength and prestige to match it. Now you need a glorious victory to shut up those who are dissatisfied with you, to shut up the Grand Knight!"
The Paladin's first orange legendary weapon should, in principle, belong to one of those renowned Grand Knight. Especially Alexandros Mograine, who contributed the crystal ball; this sword should rightfully belong to her.
If Fenna were a Highlord or commander of equal status, it wouldn't be a problem. But Fenna has only recently become Grand Knight, and before that, she was just a squad leader of the Order of the Silver Hand. Her strength and prestige are insufficient, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people, such as the stubborn and strict Alexandros.
In fact, apart from Uther, the expressions on the faces of everyone else present were not good. Highlord Tirion Fordring, despite his polite words, still showed deep reluctance as his hand left Ashbringer.
As for Highlord Mograine, needless to say, his face was extremely grim!
Who knows what these people are really thinking!
Paladin are not immune to corruption; in fact, quite a few have fallen! Just look at those famous Death Knight —how many of them were originally Paladin? And what about the later Scarlet Crusade? Those fanatical Paladin, weren't they all problematic? Without sufficient prestige and achievements to keep these people in check, other Paladin will start gossiping, and Fenna's image will suffer considerably as a result.
"Then what should I do? Attack Scholomance? Or Stratholme?" Fenna frowned, then shook her head. "Actually, if I could, I wouldn't mind giving up Ashbringer. I'd rather be like Professor Uther, advancing to Grand Knight, or even Legendary, through my own strength. But now, it's become one with me. Unless I die, no one can gain its approval."
"Don't overthink it. I'll make sure you have enough prestige," Jiang Jie laughed. "There are hundreds of thousands of Undead in Stratholme. Even if you sent Uther the Lightbringer, he couldn't cleanse them all in a short time. Don't worry, it's just a legendary weapon. If you take one, I'll give you an even better one!"
"A better one?" Fenna shook her head with a wry smile. " Nicholas, don't joke around! One Ashbringer is already quite rare, where would you find a second one? And one even better than Ashbringer? Are you trying to comfort me?"
Jiang Jie laughed and said, "It will happen, believe me. But before that, let's attack the Scholomance!"
