The history of the alliance could be divided into two stages.
The first one was the Seven Kingdoms, which at the time seemed united but were actually divided, as the core of the alliance.
The second stage was what Duke and the other players were familiar with. It was the fusion of many races and became more and more powerful.
People often said that the old tribes were cruel and bloodthirsty. They slaughtered villages and cities everywhere they went. The old tribes that killed millions of humans were trash.
In Duque's opinion, the old alliance, which was the former Lordaeron Alliance, was not a good thing either.
When the initial momentum of working together to fight against the Horde passed, the countries immediately became small alliances based on their own national interests.
At that time, the seemingly fair but actually greedy leader, Terenas Menethil, led the way for his own interests. As the saying went, if the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. It was no wonder that the countries led by Cuel Salas and Gilness could not take it anymore and left the alliance.
It turned out that the High Elves in history had their own bad side, but Kael 'thas led the Blood Elves back into the alliance and was looked down upon. Hence, the Elves could not be blamed for that.
If not for Arthas's Scourge Army sweeping through the entire Lordaeron Continent in the north and getting rid of those old bastard kings who occupied the latrine, there would not have been King Varian. King Varian, who was nicknamed 'King Varian' by the players, would not have become a hero and leader of the alliance.
The appearance of the Scourge Army was a catastrophe.
From another point of view, without the Calamity Army, the public enemy of the world, there wouldn't have been a purer alliance.
As for the Horde, if they were unhappy with the chief, they could challenge him directly. If they won, the chief's throne would be theirs.
Those in the alliance would not be as violent as the Horde.
Duque could not kill Anastrian, Terenas, or even Antonidas himself. This meant that Duque could only do it through Arthas's hands.
Duque was very clear that this method was a little troublesome.
It was much more comfortable to think about it from the other side.
There was no rainbow without wind and rain.
It was precisely because of Arthas's help that Duque could make a name for himself in the alliance.
Standing on the hill of the Isle of Quel 'Danas and overlooking the whole island, it was a mess. The attack of the Doomsday Army not only destroyed everything on the island, but also turned all the elite guards into immortals.
No one dared to be careless with this batch of undead that had been resurrected by the Lich King. They had the clergymen specially clean the corpses with holy water and purify their souls before burying them.
It wasn't a burial, but a water burial, typical of the Sea Nation Kul 'Tiras.
Thousands of corpses were neatly lined up on makeshift rafts and slowly drifted to the distant ocean with the power of the tide.
On the shore, tens of thousands of High Elves were sobbing.
As the representatives of the Alliance, Duque, Mograine, Abbendis, and Cirvanas stood side by side on the rostrum, silently observing the ceremony.
"Get ready … to fire —" Theron raised her hand, and the Rangers lined up on the shore shot the fire arrows onto the raft filled with flammable materials.
Flames soared into the sky, accompanied by the burning corpses and the unique flute music of the High Elves.
The boys and girls of the High Elves held each other's hands and sang a mournful requiem …
The dead were gone, but there were still many important things for the living to do.
In the largest military tent of the Alliance, everyone's shoulders were under heavy pressure, and they felt as if they couldn't breathe.
"First of all, we thank the Alliance for forgiving the past and allowing us, the High Elves, to return to the embrace of the Alliance. Here, the entire Cuel Salas National Salvation Committee formally expresses our deep gratitude to the Alliance! "Cirvanas and the few remaining big shots bowed deeply to Duque.
The High Elves also knew that now that the Well of the Sun had been polluted and the entire kingdom had collapsed, they would really be wiped out if they didn't hold on to the Alliance.
At the very least, they had to show enough respect.
"Fighting against the evil Calamity Army is something that every living person on the continent should do. I hope that Cuel Salas can quickly sort out its internal affairs and send elite troops to join the Alliance. The Alliance urgently needs the power of the High Elves' Rangers and high-level Mages, "Duque replied in official language.
"Where is the Alliance going to attack next?" Lor 'themar asked first.
Duque glanced at Mograine and the other Lordaeron people beside him and nodded. "We will first go south through the Long Song Forest and meet up with the army of Turayan and Saidan Dathrohan. Since we can't protect the entire continent, we must at least ensure that the plague does not spread further. Recently, it has been called the Eastern Plaguelands … This is not just for the people of Lordaeron, but for everyone else. "
Unlike the original history, the Calamity Army was directly teleported to the High Elves this time. Instead, the Holy City of Stratholme was saved. Since Duque's main force was the Scarlet Cross, he naturally had to follow the will of the people and protect a small part of the old Lordaeron territory.
At this time, Abbendis also reported, "Now, the entire Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest have been occupied by the undead. According to the latest statistics … we conservatively estimate that there are more than five million undead in the old Dalajan territory, and we can't rule out the possibility of more than ten million. Also, the proportion of mid-level and high-level undead seems to be gradually increasing. "
This number made the High Elves' faces twitch.
How many soldiers could the Alliance muster now? Including the poorly trained militia, a million was the most they could muster. Not every soldier could fight as well as the Paladins. It would be a miracle if they could muster one Paladin out of a hundred ordinary soldiers.
The numbers in front of them really made all the living despair.
Fortunately, most of the undead were zombies and skeleton soldiers, and there were not many ghouls. If they were all Death Knights, they might as well just kill themselves and pledge their loyalty to the Lich King.
Abbendis continued, "It's not that there is no good news. Our former chief commander, His Excellency Anduin Lothar, has reappeared. He led Bolvar Fordragon's Stormwind main force and has already met up with the main force of the Iron Furnace Fort. They are preparing to launch a cross-sea attack and a bridge attack to recover the Arathi Highlands. "
The situation was very clear. The big shots of the Alliance hoped that in the near future, the two armies would meet up, one from the northeast to the southwest. The other was south, and then they would meet up in the Dalajan territory to drive the Calamity Army out of Lordaeron.
Only Duque sighed.
There was no need to go through so much trouble. As long as Archimonde escaped, the war in Lordaeron would come to an end. He deliberately opened up the entire western line of defense of the entire continent, just to let Arthas and Archimonde quickly leave!
The pointless discussion soon ended.
A new shock appeared.
Cirvanas' expression changed several times. "What?! You want me to be the queen? "
