Tichondrius!
Arthas!
They are the real mountain weighing down on Lordaeron!
"Your Highness may not fully understand, but I think Lord Uther and Lady Jaina know very well just how terrifying Arthas is now!" Jiang Jie looked at Uther and Jaina: "Just how powerful is a Legendary Death Knight!"
" Arthas!" Uther slammed his fist on the table, making a loud thud. "That kid is just as terrifying as Tichondrius! No one in all of Lordaeron is his match! Not even me! The evil energy he exudes is unlike anything I've ever seen! And his sword is even more terrifying! Just seeing that sword makes my soul tremble! My whole body shakes!"
Uther's face still held a lingering fear when he thought of that sword.
What kind of terrifying evil power could instill fear in a Legendary Paladin?
"That's the runic sword ' Frostmourne,' a legendary weapon on par with Ashbringer Dreadlord. It possesses the power to manipulate corpses and devour souls," Jiang Jie said. "Don't underestimate it! Once Arthas reaches the shore, he can use that sword to create an Invincible Undead Legion! He can even use that sword to enslave high-ranking professionals and Legendary creatures! Like... dragons!"
" Arthas... I sense a powerful aura emanating from him, an aura as powerful as that of Master Antonidas! I even suspect that if they were to face each other head-on, even Master Antonidas wouldn't be a match for him!" Jaina took a deep breath, then sighed softly, "If he and Arthas join forces, I truly don't know who could possibly defeat them!"
Yes, no one can defeat them. Jaina knows this, Uther knows this, and Jiang Jie knows it even better.
Requesting support from the Council of Six?
I'm sorry, the Council of Six is very busy. Krasus, as a red dragon mage, also has matters to attend to within the red dragonflight. Kael'thas is a prince of the Sunstrider Dynasty and spends most of his time away from Dalaran. The other Archmage also have their own matters to attend to.
They've already shown a lot of respect by tacitly allowing Jaina to help here and sending Rhonin over as well!
Requesting assistance from the Sunstrider Dynasty?
Don't be ridiculous, those proud High Elf would never lend a hand!
You must understand, the High Elf look down on humans to the core! They won't intervene unless war breaks out on their territory!
As for other countries?
Not to mention.
Not to mention that those countries would never be willing to provide support, even if they were, they would be no match for the Undead Scourge. In the end, they would only be sending troops and corpses to Arthas!
Lordaeron, in the end, can only rely on itself.
"We absolutely cannot let Arthas's fleet land! Those ships carry who knows how many Undead creatures!" Jiang Jie said in a deep voice. "I plan to attack Arthas at sea and destroy his ships! I have a way to do it! But that can only delay his landing and deplete his forces, not stop him! Someone must hold Arthas off head-on! I think only Lord Uther has the ability to do that, right?"
Uther shook his head in shame and said, "I'm afraid I can't..."
" Uther, you are the only Legendary Paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand. Although Arthas reached Legendary status through the power of Frostmourne, he is far inferior to you. What you lack is simply a weapon comparable to Frostmourne."
Jiang Jie interrupted Uther, then looked into Uther's eyes. "What if I gave you a divine artifact?"
After leaving the princess's residence, Jiang Jie quickly arrived at an abandoned courtyard. Guided by the spirit of Patriarch Alexei, he opened a secret room and found a box of gold coins.
A whole box, containing thousands of gold coins!
And these,
This is just a small part of the Barov Family's enormous wealth hidden around the world! Jiang Jie took out some gold coins, bought a large amount of mana potions, drank them all in one gulp to replenish the energy of the game pod, and then found General Marcus Jonathan.
Looking at this most unassuming city management captain in World of Warcraft, Jiang Jie was lost in thought.
General Marcus served alongside Marshal Reginald Marshal Windsor under Grand Knight Turalyon. After the war, he returned to Stormwind City with King Varian and served as the highest commander of the Stormwind City Defense Force for 13 years.
No one witnessed his skills, nor did anyone know the extent of his abilities. In any case, from beginning to end, he rode that warhorse, which resembled " Old Blanchy," in the Valley of Heroes in Stormwind City, accompanied by the statues of the Five Heroes of the Dark Portal, guarding Stormwind City.
He worked hard without complaint and remained incredibly low-key despite holding a high position.
But now, he has been sent to Lordaeron by King Varian.
Upon closer reflection, this is indeed the best arrangement.
King Varian spent two years in Lordaeron during his childhood, which was his second home. His affection for the place goes without saying, and he also had a good relationship with Arthas and Calia.
Now that Lordaeron is in crisis, Princess Calia has personally written a letter and sent a messenger to him for help. Of course, he will send his most trusted people to help, and General Marcus Jonathan is one of his most trusted people.
Furthermore, Lordaeron has just undergone a purge against the Cult of the Damned, and the city's defense forces were the most severely affected. What they need most now is a reorganization of the city's defense forces. And in this regard, if General Marcus claims to be second, who dares to claim to be first?
Indeed, he is the most suitable!
From this perspective, Varian, the older brother ( King Varian is five years older than Calia ), is truly considerate.
" Nicholas, what's the matter?" Marcus looked at Jiang Jie, not daring to be negligent.
Throughout history, what kind of official position has been the most difficult to hold?
Officials in the capital!
Prefect of Kaifeng, Prefect of Jingzhao, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review—any official position equivalent to the mayor of an imperial city was the most difficult to hold, because you had to manage a large number of noble lords, and many of them held even higher ranks than you. Which one was easy to manage?
The highest commander of Stormwind City Defense Force, isn't he the most important official in the capital?
General Marcus, who had been in charge of important tasks for many years and dealt with so many nobles every day, had survived for 13 years. In addition to King Varian's appreciation and support, he was also very good at reading people and getting along with everyone. Although they had only known each other for a short time, he could already tell that Princess Calia trusted Jiang Jie a lot.
He was sent to help, and after 13 years, he returned to Lordaeron. Many people were no longer familiar with him, and he might need Jiang Jie's help sometimes.
" General Marcus, the Warrior of Stormwind City are unparalleled, and King Varian is a formidable combat master. Every member of the Stormwind Brotherhood of the Horse is a true Warrior, and you are the finest among them."
Jiang Jie looked at Marcus and chuckled, "Then, can I learn Warrior skills from you? Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time, half a day will be enough!"
