Chapter 762: You Can Always Trust Old Ferdin
Plans never change fast.
At the beginning of the plan, Carlos only hoped to use Andorjar to slow down the eastward advance of the Undead Scourge so that he could concentrate on a large-scale war of annihilation.
The idea was good, but reality taught Carlos what TMD called TMD surprise.
The surprise was that the Undead Scourge proliferated much faster than anyone expected.
The surprise was that the reinforcements he was looking forward to fought a beautiful annihilation battle in the northern part of the Hillsbrad Hills, and severely damaged the Scourge Army's westward advance troops.
The surprise is that Andohar, which was once part of the military buffer zone, has now become a strategic location that cannot be caught.
The surprise is that the screenwriter of fate has changed people again.
Throwing Garissus' legion into battle effectively contained the collapse of the front.
But this is only a tactical victory, and it is indeed a strategic defeat, which means that Carlos can no longer use the living force to make tactical maneuvers, which means that the Undead Scourge has gained a huge strategic advantage even if he can't capture Andohar.
Because Carlos could no longer stop Alsace from moving east into Andorjar.
If you don't know how to ride a horse, it's called a cavalry.
His own cavalry is still in Hillsbrad, and the cavalry regiment of Gallishers is almost the last cavalry of Lordaeron, even if reinforcements arrive, relying on the foot man to chase the sleepless army of the undead is also a heavy brain pumping plan.
The inability to effectively create a strategic deterrent to the Scourge Legion is a slow pace of one step at a time.
On the contrary, as long as Arthas is not brainless, after realizing that Carlos threw the cavalry regiment into the frontal battlefield of Andohar, it is time to divide his forces.
So the question is, is Alsace brain-dead?
It's a mystery.
Alsace's delay in appearing aroused Carlos' instinctive suspicions.
According to Carlos's understanding of Arthas, the little prince has been suppressed by his old father-in-law Terenus and the old annoying Tyrell for so long, and it is when the desire to perform is bursting, but he has not appeared on the frontal battlefield to provoke his brother-in-law.
It's very wrong.
Terenus was a wise one, but not a worthy father.
The weight of royal power weighed down Terenus to take care of his son's education, so in Arthas's childhood memories, his father was always majestic and high-handed.
In layman's opinion, in the childhood communication between Terenus and Arthas, Arthas was always his own child.
As for who is someone else's child, sometimes it's Tulayan, sometimes it's Carlos, and most of the time it's Varian.
When the good times of childhood are over, Uriel, who is also a teacher and father, appears again.
Arthas is the glory and duty of Uriel, his most important disciple and future king.
So Urel didn't understand that what Arthas wanted was not justice and dedication, but recognition, and what he longed for was a biased father's love.
Based on this judgment, Carlos believes that it is a huge anomaly that Alsace does not come to him to understand the "grudge".
With such a cheating tool as "past life memories", Carlos still didn't understand how maddening the mage was to summon Acmund to descend on Azeroth.
After all, in the game, a crackling portal with the Book of Medivan is all it takes.
But in this world where there is no longer Medivan, even the Lich King Neozu and the magical genius Kel'thugad still have a big head with the Legion Boss's super good job sample.
This is the real reason why the Legion of the Undead in the frontal battlefield of Andorhar did not commit to the caster.
Silver Dawn's work for more than a year has not been in vain, and Carlos's decades of work have not been in vain.
No matter how the natural disaster ravages, the kingdom of Alterac is still there.
Until the spark of hope is extinguished, the madness of despair has a limit after all.
Without the Cult of the Damned's large number of desperate human spellcasters joining the Scourge Legion, the magic power of the Undead Scourge is far inferior to that of its counterparts in other timelines.
So much so that the Lich King had to directly order Arthas to cooperate with Kel'thugad to prioritize the placement of the Psychragues in the Lordaeron Fall Zone.
Both Kilgadan and Akmund possess the terrifying strength of a one-man star-destroyer, and the fear of Kilgadan has transcended the level of DNA and is engraved in the soul of Nao Zu.
Knowing that Akmund might not be trustworthy, the Lich King still wants to trust the Polluter to keep his promise.
After all, only Akmund could stop Kil'Gardan's persecution of him.
So the Lich King ordered Arthas to set up a psychic tower as his first priority.
It was this order that gave Carlos time and a respite from the struggle.
Otherwise, it is up to the frustrated militia and refugees of Andohar to resist the main force of the Undead Legion.
Daydreaming!
"How much longer?"
Arthas asked Kel'thugad in his mind.
"Soon, the day of the coming of the Great Being is not far away, and I have heard His voice, the Lord, the God!"
Arthas did not resist or be impatient at the whispers of the god Kel'thugad.
Enslaved by the Frost Sorrow, Arthas has lost much of his humanity, but not without desire.
I want to fight Carlos, and I want to use Frost Sorrow to cut off the sword of the human king, Domka, which I once longed for.
Arthas reached out to the Lich King.
"The preparation was lacking, and I could not conduct the ceremony myself, so it had to be carried out by Kel'thugad. This is the eternal life I have promised you. Find the right carrier, resurrect it, resurrect Kel'thugad! ”
Because Kel'thugad resides in Arthas, the Lich King's orders are a bit chaotic.
But Arthas still understood what his master's task was.
Find a suitable urn to use as a prop necessity for the resurrection of Kel'thugad.
So is there a ......
Yes!
Alsace's own father, Terenus, is the perfect carrier.
Even though the last light in the depths of the soul is protected by great power, the sea of consciousness in Alsace is still not at peace.
"So what are you waiting for, return to Lordaeron and burn my great father."
Beneath Arthas's cold words was a fanatical desire to fight, which blinded Kel'thugad.
"Don't be anxious, my Royal Highness, nothing can stop the undead from the scourge, please be patient and wait for the fruits of victory to fall into your hands by itself."
Arthas did not pay any attention to Kel'thugad.
With Lordaeron as the birthplace of warfare, armies of flesh and bones are spreading everywhere, and with each land conquered, the living and the dead will be used by the Lich King.
Every minute and every second, the power of the undead scourge is increasing.
So Alsace has capricious capital.
The 200,000 undead soldiers besieging Andohar are nothing in the eyes of His Royal Highness, and are as expendable as recyclable garbage.
So, Arthas rode his beloved Invincible, and against the steady stream of undead who were constantly pouring up the slopes, he left the Hearth Valley region and insisted on returning to Lordaeron.
"I knew that, Tirio. That despicable fellow of Fording can't be trusted! He's going to run away with the army, that shameful traitor! ”
From the tower, the imprisoned current Lord of Hearthvale looked at Tirio in despair. Ferding rallied his troops and speculated with the most malicious thoughts.
