Chapter 610 The Beginning of the Third War(3/3)
But because the location of the royal capital happened to be on the only way south to Silver Pine Forest, people did not dare to go south easily even if they started to panic.
Because they had no idea whether they would be blocked by the Scourge Legion that came out of the royal capital if they fled south now.
In this way, due to Arthas' betrayal, Lordaeron, the most powerful kingdom of mankind, came to destruction in a very short period of time.
The civilians who were killed and the corpses dug out from the graves became the most important recruitment force for the undead natural disaster to spread.
With millions of natural disaster armies ready to attack, the Third War has finally officially begun.
While the human refugees in the north were frantically fleeing to the south, they also brought this shocking news to other alliance member states, including Dalaran.
Through urgent magical transmissions, Gilneas, Kul Tiras, Stromgard, Ironforge, Quel'Thalas and other countries immediately learned of this incredible piece of information.
They didn't even bother to confirm whether the news was true or false, and immediately began to gather troops to block the only way for the undead natural disaster to go south.
The nearest Dalaran and Gilneas even took less than two days to form a coalition, and together with the troops stationed in the area by the Kingdom of Lordaeron, they marched toward the north along the road.
The commander of the Kul Tiras naval fleet, Dai Lin, shouldered the responsibility of transporting the refugees, sending these people of Lordaeron to the relatively safe Stranglethorn Valley in the south. At the same time, he sent a fleet north to investigate the situation in Tirisfal Glades.
Let's see if we can rescue more refugees.
Only at this moment did he truly realize what the terrible disaster Zuo Si mentioned repeatedly was referring to.
…
On the other side, far away is the Contract City at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent.
Princess Calia, who had just learned the explosive news that her brother had killed her father and was destroying the Kingdom of Lordaeron with her own hands, was completely stunned. She sat motionless for a long time without regaining consciousness.
When her brain that stopped thinking started to spin again, the first thing she did was to stand up suddenly and shout: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could Alsace kill his father! His father loves him so much
He gave him all the best things."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is a fact that has been repeatedly confirmed by Dalaran.
The current capital city of Lordaeron has been reduced to ruins, with raging undead creatures everywhere.
The two legions stationed nearby also suffered over 70% casualties, with less than 30% surviving after covering the retreat of civilians.
At present, they have retreated to Silverpine Forest to join the coalition forces of Dalaran and Gilneas.
As for the East Wilder region and Tirisfal Glades, although there are still some towns and fortresses that are trying their best to resist, it is only a matter of time before they fall if reinforcements are not obtained.
The most important thing is that Alsace's behavior has completely lost his legal inheritance rights.
Now you are the last survivor and legal heir of House Menethil.
So I think you should immediately declare your succession as queen and set up a flag to let everyone know that the Kingdom of Lordaeron has not yet been destroyed.
At the same time, it gives hope to those towns that are still resisting."
A senior church official stood up and cautiously advised.
"To...become a queen? At this time?"
Caliya's mind was obviously very confused at the moment, her heart was beating wildly, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down for some reason.
Maybe she doesn't have much affection for her strict father.
But for her mother who always cares about her and understands her, she can be said to be full of gratitude, respect and love.
Because if her mother hadn't come forward to persuade her father, Caliya's husband and his family might have been brutally executed long ago.
The church's top brass nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's right now.
The more desperate this moment is, the more the Kingdom of Lordaeron needs a legitimate leader who can unite them.
With this relationship, we can start to consider whether to bring all the refugees to Stranglethorn Valley, or form an army to go north to retake their homeland.
What's more, only by becoming the queen can you make Uther and the Knights of the Silver Hand he leads obey orders and cooperate with a series of military operations we may carry out."
I have to say that this person's proposal is indeed quite insightful.
After all, in politics, whoever gets the claim first will firmly hold the initiative.
Although the Menethil family of the royal family of Lordaeron now only has Calia as a single member...
Oh, no, she also has a daughter who has not been publicly acknowledged.
But declaring her accession to the throne as queen now has completely different political meanings than becoming queen after forming warlord factions in the battle against the Scourge.
The former can quickly condense into a political symbol, deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, giving them a clear object of allegiance.
Even if a warlord separatist force is formed later, the other party will not dare to think of replacing it because the soldiers and ordinary people in the ruling area are loyal to the royal family. No matter how big their ambitions are, they can only hide them.
However, due to the long-term battle with the undead, the latter gradually gathered people's hearts and formed a de facto separatist regime. Both civilians and soldiers would gradually feel alienated due to the absence of the royal family, and even transferred their hatred of Alsace to the good.
On Leah.
Maybe the Kingdom of Lordaeron will split into several forces over whether to recognize the princess's legal inheritance, and then start a civil war or simply turn into independent territories.
In particular, Garithos is a fool who does things without considering the consequences. It is hard to imagine what kind of outrageous behavior he would do driven by ambition.
So in this case, the sooner Calia claims to inherit the throne of Lordaeron, the better.
And now becoming a queen can also be recognized by the leaders of the alliance.
But it is a pity that Caliya was too sad and worried about the safety of her husband and daughter, so she did not give a positive answer. Instead, she sent everyone away on the grounds that she could not think, and walked through the secret passage alone.
Go directly to Zuo Si's room.
As soon as she walked out of the secret passage, she saw that the god she believed in was naked from the waist up, injecting a tube of boiling blood exuding mysterious energy into her body.

The skin that looked pale and bloodless turned red and purple almost instantly, and all the blood vessels suddenly swelled, like earthworms twisting under the skin.
Not only that!
Zuo Si's eyes also showed a creepy dark red light, and extremely powerful power began to surge throughout his body along with the beating of his heart.
Finally, a pair of bright red wings made entirely of energy suddenly opened from behind, looking like the wings of a wind snake.
With the slight flapping of her wings, Jalia felt that the blood flow in her body began to accelerate uncontrollably, and then something suddenly flowed out of the nasal mucosa, and the strong smell of blood filled her nasal cavity and mouth.
Nosebleed?
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she watched the dark red blood droplets float towards Zuo Si not far away, drawing a blood line in the air that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Fortunately, this strange situation did not last long.
It stopped abruptly in about a second or two.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you coming, so I couldn't control the power I just gained. Here, wipe the blood on your nose."
With that said, Zuo Si quickly put away the huge pair of energy wings on his back, picked up a handkerchief and handed it over.
Jialiya subconsciously took it and wiped her eyes that were swollen from crying, then blocked her nose that was still bleeding, and asked cautiously: "What was that force just now? Why did I suddenly feel like the blood in my body was out of control?"
Same?"
"Nothing. I happened to obtain a portion of demigod's blood from an ancient temple, and then purified it and used it to strengthen this mortal body. The power he possesses should be to control the blood and draw life force."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and gave the answer straightforwardly.
And this demigod knew without asking that he was the blood god Hakkar who was once worshiped by the Gurubashi trolls.
Although this bloodthirsty and cruel demigod has been expelled from Azeroth for a long time, his descendants and the submerged temple are still there.
Zuo Si easily got what he wanted from the other party with just a little use.
Coupled with the blood of the Dread Lord that was taken before, this container can be regarded as a veritable enhanced version of the ancestor of vampires, and it is also the kind that can absorb life and spiritual power at the same time.
If he wants, he can start mass-producing descendants with powerful power through First Embrace at any time.
It is even possible to obtain the bloodline, abilities, knowledge and memory of the target creature through this predatory feeding.
Now even facing the demonic army of the Burning Legion, Zuo Si, who is temporarily unable to descend on his body, clones and projections, can still ensure that he has the power to fight.
"Strengthen this mortal body?"
Caliya blinked her eyes in confusion.
Zuo Si explained patiently: "Because my body is too far away from Azeroth, I can't really come down for the time being, and even the power transmitted will be greatly limited.
Therefore, in order to cope with the coming disaster and protect all believers, we must find ways to strengthen ourselves a little.
By the way, why are your eyes swollen from crying?
Could it be that some great changes have occurred in the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the north?"
"I...I just got the news that Alsace rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. He also personally killed his father during the triumphal ceremony and massacred the entire royal capital.
Others in the church were advising me to declare my succession as Queen immediately.
But now my mind is so confused that I can't calm down and think.
So I hope you can give me a little guidance."
After saying that, Jialiya threw away the handkerchief that had been stained red by the nosebleed, bent down and kissed the magic ring on Zuo Si's finger. Her pitiful eyes were like a little animal longing for the care and protection of its owner.
