Chapter 449 The Fallen Ashbringer and the Crimson Legion
The Whispering Coast stretches from the Northstream Valley to the mountains where Deathknell is located... Standing on the cliff edge of Agamand's Mill, one can see Scarlet Monastery in the eastern corner of Tirisfal Glades...
Scarlet Monastery is located in the Scarlet Highlands, separated from Hearthglen by only one mountain...
They can choose to travel by sea or by going around the Barrier of the Dead.
The general of Tyr's Hand dispatched the Scarlet Prophet Demetheus to contact the scattered Scarlet Crusade leaders. The red messenger was ambushed and killed by the Undercity Queen's warriors on her way to the Scarlet Monastery...
The Forsaken obtained a secret message from them, learning that the Scarlet Crusade's treasure was Princess Galiya, a surviving member of the Menethil royal family...
Both sides wanted Arthas's sister... dead or alive.
......
The Undead Barrier is in the hands of the Undercity Queen, and the Argent Dawn has been sending messengers here for years to recruit Argent Warriors to join them in fighting the Scourge.
【Silver Dawn】They recruit anyone, as long as you are willing to fight against the Scourge, whether you are an orc or a Forsaken undead...they treat everyone the same.
On the surface, the Scarlet Crusade leader, Grand Crusader Dathrohan, claims to be willing to accept the Argent Dawn, these traitors... but the Argent Dawn is actually making a name for themselves at the Chapel of Light, with a strong and well-equipped army...
Commander Marlan, representing the Scarlet Monastery, was stationed at the Church of the Holy Light in the Eastern Plaguelands. She observed everything, but for a moment, she couldn't discern who was truly fighting for the refugees of Lordaeron...
For the scattered groups in Scarlet Monastery, Hearthglen, Tyr's Hand, and Stratholme, it was unclear who the leader was...
Recently, Admiral Barry, commander of the Scarlet Fleet, announced an alliance with the human vanguard in Southshore... The High Inspector of Hearthglen angrily denounced this as an act of treason and strictly ordered his disciples Tyrann & Fordring and the two young Scarlet leaders, Reno & Mograine of Scarlet Monastery, not to get too close to the Stormwind Alliance.
One of them was leading troops and fighting alongside the Allied forces at the front, while the other, for unknown reasons, proactively contacted General Barry... Raynor even sent 'Blade of Light' Herold and 'Pure One' Jordan to Hillsbrad Foothills to participate in the battle...
There have clearly been subtle changes within the Scarlet Crusade...
Inspector Ethan Lien is in a fit of impotent rage!
He was furious, jumping up and down in Hearthglen, utterly bewildered as to what High Crusader Dathrohan was up to in Stratholme, that city of the dead. Why were his apprentices disobeying him? And why had Abidis's forces under Tyr's Hand already split...?
The Scarlet Crusade's strength is dwindling. Some members are getting too close to the Stormwind Alliance, while others have either left the Scarlet Crusade to join the so-called Argent Crusade, or they remain inactive and detached.
One by one, the red-clad messengers from all over the land never returned... The major powers knew all the secrets of the Scarlet Crusade... Only they themselves were completely clueless.
Fanaticism, foolishness, obsession!
It seems that someone is nibbling away at and dividing the last human resistance in Lordaeron. The so-called Alliance and Horde, and even former comrades-in-arms, the Argent Dawn, all regard the Scarlet Crusade as enemies!
......
Everything goes against the original intentions of the founders: Ashbringer Highlord Sandroth & Mograine, Grand Crusader Danso & Dathrohan, Hearthglen human lord Tirion & Fordring, the core members of the Scarlet Monastery's Thirteen, Alfred & Abidis, and the holy priests, bishops, and Grand Prosecutor Isenlien.
The most formidable members of the Silver Hand Paladins who remained near Lordaeron...
The heroes of the Scarlet Crusade all met tragic ends!
......
[Ashbringer] Old Mograine was ambushed and killed by his eldest son, Raynor. His artifact was corrupted, and Old Mograine's corpse, along with the corrupted Ashbringer, was taken by the Scourge...
......
Dathrohan's lone force ventured deep into Stratholme, only to be replaced by the Dreadlord...
......
For showing sympathy for the orcs, Tirion Fordring was convicted of treason by the Holy See and exiled to a corner of the Plaguelands to fend for himself for several years.
......
General Abidis has been killed in battle!
Her daughter, leading the remnants of the forces struggling in Tyr's Hand, and recently even forced to abandon Tyr's Hand, the last bastion in the Plaguelands, was escorted by the long-missing and suddenly reappearing Admiral Barley to Northrend in the Arctic to her death...
......
Old Fordring's friend, Ithanrien, went mad and power-hungry. His prosecutors became increasingly cruel and insane, corrupting the Scarlet Crusade, causing them to reject all non-human races and persecute civilians and all heretics...
Isenlien, controlling the young Tyrande and Fordring, and Reno and Mograine, secretly instigated a split, preventing them from being commanded by the current leader of the Scarlet Crusade, Grand Crusader Dathrohan...
Dathrohan and Ethanlie clearly disagreed, and there was already a conflict between them... a battle of wits!
The two young commanders, Tyrande and Raynor, were bewildered... especially after the return of the Scarlet Fleet, the internal divisions and destruction of the Scarlet Crusade were now on the verge of collapse.
......
Meanwhile, the headquarters of the Church of the Light, originally located in Scarlet Monastery, moved to Stormwind...
The Holy See has ruled that the Scarlet Crusade in Lordaeron is illegal!
Archbishop Benedictus of Stormwind declared that the Scarlet Crusade paladins had violated the dying wishes of Archbishop Alonsus & Faol of Light, and were therefore unworthy of the title...
Lordaeron has been destroyed, and the headquarters of the Church of the Light are only in Stormwind and the other churches that were not invaded and destroyed... including the cathedral in the Kingdom of Gilneas, which has been expelled from the Church of the Light's territory because it was corrupted by evil.
The Holy See has declared the Gilneans heretics and advised Regent Bolvar to refuse the Gilnean Worgen King's request, deeming the Worgen unfit to join the Stormwind Human Alliance... as this could be a desecration of the Holy Light...
.....
The warriors of Lordaeron, who had stood alone in the land of death against the undead Scourge for years, had no choice...
The remaining members of the Crimson Clan had no choice.
They either left the Scarlet Legion, joined the Stormwind Alliance, joined the Argent Dawn, or simply chose to retire from the world and leave the Eastern Kingdoms...
Lieutenant Rayleigh, the 'Sword of Tranquility,' is a microcosm of these people...
He and Hernold and the others are still fighting back-to-back against the red-haired ghouls... but they are not on the same side.
..... /
The Scarlet Crusade and the Argent Dawn share a common origin, but their fundamental difference lies in the fact that the former only trusts humans and accepts only the devout and fanatical people of Lordaeron... although dwarves and high elves have once been present in the Scarlet Crusade...
Because when the plague first broke out in Lordaeron, the human refugees near Lordaeron and the warriors of the Quel'Serrar High Elf Empire, members of the Old Alliance of the Seven Kingdoms, fought together against the Scourge plague...
Before Ashbringer Mograine was ambushed by his son Renault, the Scarlet Crusade was once the most active force among the Knights of the Silver Hand in saving ordinary people...
Now that Ashbringer has fallen, the Scarlet Legion is constantly on the defensive...
A green, poisonous barrier drifted in, leaving the blood-red sailors no chance to escape. They could only cover their faces and collapse in agony... A long-lost longing returned to Lorraine's runic right eye!
The sea is teeming with fresh, tormented, and delicious vengeful spirits and carcasses...
