Chapter Thirteen - The Light's Revenge
…………
Revenge of the Holy Light! Even now, even after so many years, whenever I see the weapons used by Arthas as a Paladin in the collection room, I feel confused. Is it because Arthas insisted on proving himself, or did he choose to go to Northrend for the sake of the people?
The former prince brought many secrets into the cave of Frost and let the facts rot.
I always thought that when Arthas pulled out the grief of Frost, no one stopped him, but Muladin stopped him, and the cave guards stopped him. Why did the prince still choose that sword, even destroy his own soul?
The moment Belmont brought me to the cave where he discovered, a sad mood instantly bound me. Through the image, I heard the oath made by Arthas to the grief of Frost. The prince said that he could sacrifice everything for the people. This sounded great, but I could see that anyone could see that when Arthas left behind the seriously injured Muladin and left alone, he had completely abandoned this sacred oath, just for himself and for his revenge.
But I was very confused. What made his obsession with revenge so deeply?
Revenge of the Holy Light! Is it the will of the Holy Light?
………
After walking out of the Cave of Frost Sadness, Nathanos held the warhammer in his hand and slapped off the snow and ice layer on it. The emblem of Lordaeron was vaguely visible on the hammer handle.
"Is there anything special about this weapon, master?"
Belmont's words interrupted his thoughts, and Nathanos shook his head slowly, "Nothing special, but this weapon witnessed many things."
"We now know that Muladin's Bronzebeard is still alive," Belmont continued. The images of the past show that the dwarf who had disappeared for many years did not die in the end, but he woke up and lost his memory. "The next thing is to find him, which may be the bargaining chip for us to ease our relationship with the league."
"You go and do two things." Nathanos never went to see the leader of the Dark Blade. "First, even if you search the entire Northrend, you will find Muladin. Second, let Veronara and her Dark Rangers force withdraw from Northrend, return to Shadow Tooth Castle and Ultralank, and release news that the Forgotten's base is at the northern end of the Eastern Kingdom, and you must do your best to attract the alliance and the tribe's eyeliner and spies."
This is a stopgap solution! Belmont thought to himself. Until now, in order to minimize the risk, they cannot directly expose their stronghold in Kalimdor. However, Veronara will definitely not be happy.
Nathanos seemed to guess what Belmont was worried about, and he said in a stern tone: "Tell Veronara that this is an order, no business!"
"What if the Alliance and the Horde send troops to attack Shadow Teeth Castle?"
"Is this what Tiveronara asked?" The Withered Sigh snorted. Belmont responded, and when he explained the order to the Dark Ranger, the woman would definitely ask.
"Just let her be careful of MI7. Even if the alliance sends troops, with the terrain and the forces we stationed, they can completely resist them."
“As you wish, Master.”

Madias Shore, the master of spy, Stormwind City intelligence agency, the head of MI7 was standing beside the ruler of Theramore. Varian could clearly see the serious expressions of the two of them.
As soon as he received the news of the Gate of Heaven, Varian ordered Shore to investigate the Forgotten and report the situation quickly. He needed real information, not rumors spreading everywhere. This news was too incredible and terrifying, and the most terrifying thing about it was that it was truly true. A long-planned massacre. Its atrocities were more devastating than Arthas.
"His Majesty the King," Shore and Jaina said at the same time. Varian was not surprised why Jaina was here, she must have brought news about the tribe. What Varian did not forget was that the tribe was also a victim of this disaster.
The king nodded to Shore first, meaning that he would say it first.
“I have good news and bad news.”
"Is there any news worse than the Gate of Demons?" Varian sat on the throne of the Lion, "Tell me."
"The good news is that we found the base of the Forgotten, just north of Altlank and Shadow Tooth Castle."
The king immediately jumped from the throne, and he remembered the town of Nanhai, the first place that Lothar had experienced when he fled to Lordaeron many years ago, and it was a port, and the fleet of the Seventh Legion could arrive in less than half a month. "Then act immediately." Varian thought of Shore saying that there was bad news, and he guessed: "Is the other news that the undead was as evil as the Scourge?"
The spy master shook his head and showed a helpless expression. "On the contrary, this is exactly what I want to say. You may not be able to raise your troops north."
"Why is this?" The Ghost Wolf roared and vented his dissatisfaction.
"You can take a look at this, the news sent from the Silver Northern Expedition Army, and it was written by the Great Lord Tyrio Fording, and it will never be forged."
Varian looked at the letter presented in Shore's hand, and hesitated. Since the leader of MI7 had just said those words, it proved that the contents of the letter were not what Varian wanted to see.
"You must have seen it, don't waste time, tell me directly. What does Fording mean? Is it because there are no soldiers from the Silver Northern Expedition Army among the dead people outside the Gate of Heaven, so he doesn't care?"
"No, Lord Fording's news is a view of the Forgotten. Surprisingly, he actually ordered the declaration of the Forgotten as an ally of the Silver Northern Expedition."
"This is impossible!" Varian snatched the letter from Shore, with the seal dedicated to Fording on it. He had seen this, and he had seen it when the Death Knight joined the league before. This was indeed not a forged letter.
"Why did he do this?"
"It was reported that Silver Dawn had members of the undead joined." Gianna was speaking, "Dalaran's friend told me that a Forgotten found a member of the Northern Expedition Army who was infected with the plague of the undead in the wilderness. The Forgotten found various ways to save people, and even went to the outer land to seek help from Naru. His behavior moved Fording, and this was recognized by the Ashes. The Gate of Heavenly Condemnation was an Alsace conspiracy, who wanted to use the alliance and the tribe to eradicate the rebellious forces within the undead."
