Lordaeron in March still retains a bit of chill, but the breath of spring has already arrived.
The latitude here is similar to that of Huaxia on Earth, and the climate conditions are also similar. Crops are starting to sprout quickly, and the entire Lordaeron is slowly recovering, with everything thriving.
The formation of the Scarlet Crusade a month ago truly terrified some people, but ultimately nothing bad happened. At least for now, Uther, who possesses the " Silver Hand," remains a pillar of the entire Knights Order and even the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron.
No matter how much the Scarlet Crusade causes trouble, they can only cause trouble under Uther's watchful eye; they cannot cross the line.
Tyr's Hand, Tirisfal Monastery, and a portion of the Silver Hand members stationed in Southshore at the time—more than five thousand people were incorporated into the Scarlet Crusade. This was already one-third of the entire Order of the Silver Hand's strength, even more than twice the size of the Ashen Army.
Of course, the majority of them are new recruits, and at least a third are veterans who have been on the battlefield, but they are still a force to be reckoned with.
The divisions within the Order of the Silver Hand have always existed, but they are now slowly coming to the surface. It is impossible to completely eliminate these divisions; the only option is to find a way to coexist peacefully.
Old Mograine was too aggressive and domineering; it would have been better to replace him with the relatively mild-mannered Tirion Fordring. Unfortunately, Tirion Fordring hasn't reached Legendary rank yet, failing to take that final step.
Either Tirion Fordring or Fenna's advanced Legendary could improve the current situation.
It seems we'll have to wait a while longer.
Fenna is further from being Legendary than Tirion Fordring.
Two weeks ago, the Scarlet Crusade, together with the Gilneas Brigade, the Kirin Tor Battlemage Order, and the Aerie Peak Dwarves Gryphon Rider, joined forces to breach the Gilneas City and have been clearing out the Undead ever since.
The Scarlet Crusade wanted to launch an expedition to Northrend, Old Mograine wanted to kill Arthas, but Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent gave a strict order: they must first clear out the Undead in Lordaeron, restore production, and recuperate for a period of time before they could consider concentrating their forces to attack Northrend.
This will take at least one or two years.
Only a very few people knew that Naxxramas and several Undead warships had already carried the Forsaken to Northrend to carry out their next plan against the Scourge.
Of course, no one knew that Jiang Jie had already handed over the Lich King Armor, which was temporarily beyond repair, to Archbishop Faol.
Patriarch Alexei is not untrustworthy, but only a weak Alexei is trustworthy. Once Alexei possesses sufficient power, rebellion is almost certain, so the Lich King Armor's Lich King Armor cannot be entrusted to him, even if it is unrepaired.
After discussing it with Archbishop Faol, the archbishop voluntarily took on this responsibility, as well as this curse. This armor was helpful to the " Forsaken Plan," so of course it couldn't be abandoned.
Of course, given Archbishop Faol's character and beliefs, he probably wouldn't use this armor to force the Forsaken to do anything, nor could he. The armor's mental amplification ability has been reduced to one percent; it's now only equivalent to a large-scale monitor and group communicator, nothing more.
The cleansing of the Undead Plague in the Eastern Plaguelands, Western Plaguelands, and Tirisfal Glades has been fully launched, and the influence of the World Tree Teldrassil on the forests and land is slowly being noticed.
In Silverpine Forest, Hillsbrad Foothills, Western Plaguelands, and Tirisfal Glades, the presence of the Undead grew fainter. Amidst their joy, people's gratitude towards Jiang Jie Jiang Jie, and his voice rang out louder and louder.
His current prestige is in no way inferior to that of Old Mograine, and his status in the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron is second only to Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent.
Everything was on track, and Jiang Jie naturally had time to properly train the Fenris People's Army. Meanwhile...
Expand enrollment.
Although according to the rules of the 35th-century Milky Way, one is not qualified to establish a sect without becoming Martial Dao Grandmaster, this is not the Milky Way, and Jiang Jie is not going to establish a sect; he is merely taking on disciples, so there is no problem.
Confucius had three thousand disciples, and some martial arts schools have hundreds or even thousands of people. According to Xiao Feng, some martial arts schools in the Milky Way even recruit one hundred thousand people, but Jiang Jie didn't have that much energy, so he only added one hundred people to make up the difference.
However, after only a few days, he became lazy, let Darion take his newly recruited apprentices, and then quietly left Lordaeron.
He wanted to see the world.
Of course, I also need to find Med'an. I can't ignore the task Medivh gave me. Who knows if he's even left this world yet? Maybe he's still watching me from somewhere!
If you take a benefit, you have to give something in return, right?
Pandaren are natural travelers. Knowing that Jiang Jie was going to travel the world, Old Chen couldn't sit still, and Li Li was also a hindrance. Aysa, who originally wanted to cultivate peacefully under the World Tree, was also dragged to find Jiang Jie by Ji, who claimed that they had to take them with him, or he would tear down the World Tree or burn it down!
Jiang Jie had no choice but to take them along.
Fortunately, Lilian was asked by the One-Armed Invar to return to Tirisfal Monastery to continue her training; otherwise, the travel party would have had another member.
Jiang Jie decided to head south, with his final destination being Karazhan. Along the way, he would take a slightly detour, making sure not to miss any interesting places.
Leaving the World Tree, riding the old turtle " Lao Qian," they arrived at the South Shore. Ignoring Lao Qian's plea to travel together and his teary eyes, they led the four Pandaren south, soon arriving in Dalaran.
Here, a thriving scene unfolds. Laborers from the Fenris Isles, under the command of mages, are transporting the rubble from the ruined city walls to a nearby location and piling it up. Then, they are quarrying stone and felling trees from the nearby Alterac Mountains and transporting them here to begin reconstruction.
The reconstruction work is proceeding in a tense but orderly manner. The participation of hundreds of mages has made the construction speed more than three times faster than in other places, not to mention the help of golems that are three or even five meters tall.
In any case, Dalaran's Ley Line has enough energy, so these golems don't have to worry about power. The steel golems can easily lift several tons of stones and drag trees tens of meters long, which is beyond human capabilities.
Unfortunately, Gnomeregan forced to close itself off due to the Rockjaw Trogg attack; otherwise, with the help of the Gnomes ' high-tech machinery, the reconstruction time could have been reduced by at least a third.
Jiang Jie's unusual identity quickly alerted Master Ansirem.
When Jiang Jie asked for the end of the Chicken Leg Staff and claimed he was willing to pay a sufficient price, Shi's expression changed.
" Nicholas, you're a step too late." The master said with a hint of apology, "Not long ago, Prince Brann Bronzebeard, who personally led the Ironforge Musketeers to attack Gilneas, somehow learned that the staff end was in our hands, so he offered us terms we couldn't refuse and took the staff end in exchange."
"What are the conditions?" Jiang Jie slapped his forehead hard. "Where is Brann now?"
Brann eventually took the staff's end.
However, he probably hasn't yet embarked on his grand, suicidal journey to explore Titans ruins around the world, so finding him shouldn't be difficult.
" Brann has returned to Ironforge with his Dwarves musketeers and has been gone for a week. Judging by the time, they should have already crossed the Thoradin's Wall and entered the Arathi Highlands."
The master hesitated for a moment, then said, " Brann has agreed to send some Dwarves to help with the stonework... You know, they're quite good at this."
