King Terenas and Queen Lianne had a son and a daughter. According to the rules of the human world, any child born to the Queen possessed the right to inherit the kingdom.
Now that Arthas had betrayed Lordaeron and killed his own father, his sister was the most legitimate heir.
Turalyon was not only worried that Princess Calia would die at the hands of the Scourge, but also that some ambitious nobles would see her as a rare commodity, holding her hostage to achieve ulterior motives.
At this time, Galen certainly knew the whereabouts of Princess Calia and the Queen of Lordaeron. After Onyxia brought them out of the palace, they went all the way north and entered the monastery in the north.
In these years, Calia followed Archbishop Alonsus Faol to learn the ways of the Holy Light, and the Great Northern Monastery was the place she stayed the most besides the palace.
Originally, Galen wanted her to come out and preside over the overall situation, or to push her out to unite the remaining forces of Lordaeron, but who knew that this little girl, after hearing that her brother had murdered their father and witnessing the Scourge's massacre of the city, and seeing the various towns of Lordaeron fall into the hands of the Scourge along the way…
She shut herself off!
Refusing to communicate, refusing to see anyone, she prayed alone in the cathedral of the monastery every day.
This made Galen very helpless.
Among the women he had met, there was the heroic Sylvanas, the generous and bold Alleria, the quirky Jaina, the both righteous and evil Onyxia, and even the fanatical Maiev, and the resolute Tyrande.
Despite their different personalities, they all had one thing in common: perseverance!
Even the intellectual and quiet Ircia was working silently, trying to prop up the Barov family.
Galen really had no way to deal with Calia, a flower in a greenhouse, who was suddenly exposed to the wind and snow when the greenhouse shattered, and was at a loss.
After all, it was a human tragedy. One moment, her family was happy and perfect, and the next, the country was destroyed and her family was ruined. Anyone would shut themselves off.
Galen had this sympathy, so he could only let the princess and the queen temporarily live in seclusion in the monastery, waiting for Alonsus Faol and Prophet Velen to finish their communication and return from Azeroth before trying to enlighten them.
It's just that Lordaeron is probably going to be chaotic for a while. Fortunately, there are Galen's men in large gathering points everywhere. As long as they are not breached by the Scourge army, it doesn't matter if it's a little chaotic.
I can handle it!
Soon after, the fleet led by Derek arrived at Southshore, and the fleet of Stromgarde also gathered here under the leadership of Taylor.
The 200,000 refugees of Lordaeron were organized and traveled through half of the Hillsbrad region, boarded ships in Southshore, and sailed to the unknown south, starting a new life.
Just as the refugees were sent away, the Scourge army, which had integrated more than 200,000 undead from Lordaeron's royal city, began to converge.
Compared to the timeline that Galen knew, the number of undead in Galen's timeline was at least cut in half!
Of Lordaeron's more than two million people, more than half are still holding on in major towns.
In Tirisfal, only 400,000 Scourge troops were obtained, plus more than 300,000 lurking in the Northern Autonomous Region, which is only more than 700,000!
What does the Scourge rely on to succeed?
It is the overwhelming number, the endless sea of undead!
In Ner'zhul's mind, how dare I frame A if the number of undead is less than a million?
You must know that the Alliance has only destroyed half of Lordaeron. The other countries still retain their full national strength. Now that Lordaeron, the leader of the Alliance, has undergone such a major change, it is only natural for the southern countries to send troops to support it.
Gilneas closed its borders, and Alterac was a small place. Ner'zhul was not only not afraid, but even sent two Scourge armies of more than 100,000 to tentatively attack Gilneas and Alterac. If successful, these two countries would become undead sources outside of Lordaeron.
Now the only worry is the army of Stromgarde and the army of the dwarves. To this end, Ner'zhul sent all the death knights, necromancers, and Cult of the Damned in his hand to carry out large-scale spells in the graveyards and cemeteries of Lordaeron.
Skeletal soldiers are also soldiers, aren't they?
Even the smallest text is meat, not to mention how many dead people have been buried in the land of Lordaeron for thousands of years.
If the Cult of the Damned hadn't been thwarted everywhere in the southern countries, how could Ner'zhul have taken a fancy to those skeletons?
If these wastes were a little more effective, wouldn't he have to fully exert his mental power now and frantically switch screens to seek comprehensiveness?
Now it depends on whether the Alliance organizes an army faster, or the number of Scourge armies increases faster.
The Scourge army's battle-feeding combat style and the infectiousness of the plague mean that they cannot stop.
Whether it is to increase more undead soldiers, transform more death knights, or resurrect Kel'Thuzad, a wise man, to help him share some of the pressure, attacking the surviving towns of Lordaeron and the high elf kingdom to the north, and finally occupying the Sunwell, have become the next strategic goals of the Scourge.
Arthas led the army to prepare for departure, but before departure, a small episode occurred in the royal city of Lordaeron.
A group of about 300 paladins sneaked into the city from the south, and then raided the royal palace of Lordaeron, seizing the body of Terenas, which Arthas had abandoned on the throne.
This undoubtedly angered Arthas's sensitive nerves. He led a group of elite undead directly to chase after them, and successfully intercepted Uther and his paladins in the west of the city.
"Look who this is? The traitor Uther brazenly broke into my kingdom, and his paladins. I remember I disbanded you, why are you here, don't my words carry weight?"
Arthas rode Invincible over. At this time, Invincible had been completely renewed. Not only was he covered with precious Saronite warhorse armor, but also a pair of wings were installed on his ribs to increase his ability to fly.
Arthas was a little embarrassed and angry. He had already disbanded the Silver Hand, and there should be no groups of paladins in Lordaeron!
He drew out Frostmourne, the rune blade was constantly whispering in Arthas's ear: It's hungry!
Uther looked at the coffin behind him, which contained Terenas's body.
"You can't disband us just because you say so, Arthas. Our faith comes from the Holy Light, the Holy Light you once believed in! But today, not even the Holy Light can save you!"
