…………

Is this possible? I firmly believe that just by acting, I can win the trust of Fordine. But it was so easy that I mistakenly thought it was a trap. Fordine was a paladin, the master of the Ashes, and the first person to choose to become a friend of life and death with orcs in order to protect glory. From all aspects, he would not lie.

Lenid and Rupert revealed their identities to help me relieve stress. I heard that they were almost driven out of the Silver Northern Expedition Army.

The result was good, I was very pleased with this, and it also gave me great courage. At this critical moment, many forgotten people stood up and acted. I am no longer alone, and I don’t need to think about everything. But I still need to do some things myself.

Fording wanted to talk to me, and he was curious about what kind of person the leader of the Forgotten was. I believe my appearance would surprise him, and it was true, and I remembered it very clearly.

He hoped that I could reveal my identity, and I said that that would only lead to more people who wanted to send me to hell. He promised to keep the secret for me, and I believed that he could do it.

In return, I allow the Forsaken to participate in the arena of the Silver Championship.

...

Nathanos accepted the cooperation with Tyrio Fordine with a strange mood. However, Belmont completed the entire negotiation process for him, because the alliance and the tribe had put a lot of spies around the meeting, and in addition, third parties also participated in the talks.

The representative of the Black Knights is Duke of Ranklar, and Darian Moglani, the Grand Lord of the Knights, did not show up. In fact, he came, Nathanos knew, not only knew, but also the former holder of the Ashes Messenger also followed the Withering One.

They stopped at the intersection of the cliff road leading to the Ice Crown Glacier. Two people, one hiking and the other riding a blood-colored death war horse. They both hid their faces under the black cloak, but they all knew each other's identity.

The first to speak was Nathanos, who realized that if he didn't say anything, Moglani might have revealed his identity through a battle.

"The Silver Northern Expedition must have sacrificed a lot of people to open up this road, right, Black Front Observer?"

In this place called Echo Valley, there was no road leading to the Ice Crown Glacier, but it was obvious that Alsace underestimated the enemy's resilience. He thought that the failure of the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation had made those who dare to challenge him realize their overestimation. At the same time, the plague and flames also sealed the road of the Angasa Jumen, and no one would pose a threat to the Ice Crown Fortress. However, the firm-willed Silver Northern Expedition Army unexpectedly organized an attack and used gunpowder to dig a gap in the northern valley of the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation.

It was too late to discover Alsace, and this gap connected to the Scourge's military fortress, the Scourge's City.

The Silver Northern Expedition Army only fought a battle with the Scourge there not long ago. Outside Ford's stronghold, there were undead creatures that were smashed to pieces by artillery fire. Nathanos heard that Darian Moglani witnessed the battle, but Archerus's leader is now the "Black Front Observer". As the party posed the question, the Withering One is willing to respect his choice, but who is Moglani observing?

"They failed at first." The Death Knight's voice came from under his cloak, and his blue eyes looked directly at the giant beams and woods roasted by fire at the canyon pass. Only those who knew the Scourge Legion knew that the flames were not burning wood, and the spider webs. The spider demons entrenched in the Scourge City were the main enemies. "The Lich King's counterattack was quick and decisive. The silver Northern Expedition Army that attacked Scourge City was almost wiped out, and was reborn and turned around to attack their brothers."

Despite his eyes staring ahead, Nathanos heard it very carefully: "I think Fording should have foreseeed this, and he was dealing with the most cunning, smartest, and most vicious creature ever."

"I reminded him." said the Black Front Observer. "The Lich King is different from any enemy in the past. Although he had defeated him in the Chapel of the Holy Wishes of Light, now this is Northrend, and this is the kingdom of the Lich King."

"It sounds like... Tirio has no hope of winning." Nathanos chuckled, and the fact is that Tirio has won, and the Northern Expedition has even established a strong stronghold on the high ground in the southern part of the Scourge. The Kingdom of Alsace has lost an inch of land.

"A small victory is not enough to cheer." Darien said in a louder voice: "Tirio's power is limited by the Holy Light, and in this case he can do very limited. The Holy Light completely controls him and tightens him to the limit of reach."

Before Nathanos could finish his words, he observed around for a while. Several Northern Expedition soldiers were cleaning up the bodies of the natural disaster. They might have heard the words of the Death Knight, but did not respond. I don’t know if it was because they could not fight Darian or were simply deaf.

"Have you said this in front of Tirion? He is surrounded by devout believers of the Holy Light, including himself."

"But I... still intact... stand before you." Moglani slowed down his voice and emphasized his words, "This is why I followed you. When the Lich King attacked Tirio's camp with the resurrected Northern Expedition soldiers, the Ashes Messenger refused to use artillery. He ordered the soldiers to use the Holy Light to rest in peace. In order to maintain glory, the tolerance and... principle of the Holy Light."

"What?" Nathanos finally turned around and looked straight into the eyes of the Black Front observer. "The Lich King knew Tirio's bottom line. He knew that the Paladin would not fire at his own people. But I thought Fording should be able to distinguish right from wrong, rather than stick to any principle. Principles will only cause more people to die. For the Lich King, there is no bottom line, no principle."

"Our view...is the same."

"Ha, you've been trying to get my words out of my way, right?"

"I just need to be sure that you and the Lich King are not the same type of people." Darian met Nathanos' eyes, and he blew a whistle, and three dark doors immediately appeared in the air, corresponding to the three death knights walking out.

"There are too many secret spies around the MI7. Get rid of them."

"Kill?" One of the Death Knights was a little confused about the meaning of the order, and the answer he got was a terrifying look from the Great Lord.

The three knights immediately executed the order. Darian looked up and pointed forward, "Let's go forward a little."

"What should you do if the league holds accountable?"

"My answer is only one: the sword has no eyes."

A loud laughter popped out of Nathanos's mouth, "You are much better than your father, I'm very glad you are not with the Lich King."

"It was the Lich King who pushed me to his enemy's camp, and I want to give him back."

"Tell me about your plan." Nathanos thought to himself whether Darian used his attitude to test Tirio just now. Does it mean that the Death Knight's plan would violate ethics?

"Since the Holy Spirit Chapel of the Holy Light, I have been conceiving a powerful weapon in my mind, a weapon that can rival the sorrow of Frost."

"Don't Tirio have one in his hand?"

"You probably won't pin all your hopes on him, right?" Darian asked back. Nathanos did not answer, as a default.

"I won't. My father was the first messenger of the Ashes, and I am the second holder. I know the limits of the power that the sword can exert. After seeing Tirion's own limitations, I became more determined in my mind. The messenger of the Ashes alone was not enough to defeat the Lich King."

"So you're going to cast another weapon similar to the Ash Messenger?"

The Death Knight nodded and looked at Nathanos at the same time. "People believe that only light can defeat death, which is a misunderstanding. Only those who have experienced death can know that the power of darkness can also be used to deal with darkness." This sentence was recognized by Nathanos, and he continued to listen. "The weapon I want to build is a terrifying weapon. It is full of dark power, its material comes from evil, its casting process is glorious, and it is even despised, but it can lead us to victory, which is enough."

If Tirio knew all this, he would have objected.

The Withered One thought about Darian's words, and the other party was waiting for his reply. They had arrived at the center of the Canyon Pass. In a short time, they would enter the territory of the Scourge City and step into the stronghold of the Silver Northern Expedition. Before that, Nathanos knew that he had to give Moglani an answer. "You tell me all this, you need my help, but I heard that there are many outstanding blacksmiths inside the Black Front Knight. I don't know what else you want me to do for you?"

"I heard... if you are the Cave of Frost Sorrow?"

Nathanos snorted, "The news from the Great Lord is so well-informed."

"Not only that, I also heard... you got a weapon in the cave."

The two stopped at the same time and fell into silence. Moglani had already expressed his purpose, and the Lord of the Death Knight was thinking of the warhammer from the beginning.

"What do you think?" asked Darien. "The warhammer in Alsace was the best tool to build weapons."

Nathanos was still measuring the pros and cons, and he accidentally looked at the exit of the canyon. He thought he was dazzled, and at the exit was a blonde boy in a blue vest. After blinking, the boy disappeared.

"My patience is limited, Lord of the Forgotten."
