He led a squad of soldiers and Jaina to Strahnbrad to investigate a monster attack, a trial given to him by his mentor Uther. He was a little nervous at first, but with Jaina by his side, he felt his courage increase.

However, the climate still affected the development of the Alliance army. They could only gather the refugees of Alterac, and only those scattered in the Alterac Mountains.

Because after the disintegration of the Alterac Kingdom, most of the land was divided by the Alliance countries. Lordaeron occupied the most fertile land of Brill, Tarren Mill, and Southshore, while Gilneas and Stromgarde also occupied some farms. The entire Alterac Kingdom was left with only the free land in the Alterac Mountains.

The remaining Alterac nobles hated the Alliance and did not allow the Alliance to set foot on this land. Because of this, the Alliance sent Turalyon to lead the army here, with the intention of using a borrowed knife to kill.

As expected, when Turalyon entered the Alterac Mountains, the nobles obstructed him one after another, but they were all dealt with by Turalyon.

The Alliance's plan succeeded, but the Alliance army led by Turalyon was trapped in a quagmire and has not recovered to this day. If Roger had not sent multiple supplies one after another, I am afraid that Turalyon would still be hunting in the snow!

For this matter, Turalyon went to Lordaeron several times to negotiate with Terenas. However, Terenas said that the Alliance was bearing too much of the cost of the orc internment camps and could not provide support.

This disappointed Turalyon. He knew that he could not get any benefits from this mature politician. The only thing that made him gratified was that Terenas was old, and his successor was an upright paladin.

As long as Arthas ascends the throne, the Alliance army will usher in an opportunity to integrate into the Alliance. Therefore, every time he went to Lordaeron, Turalyon would visit Uther and teach Arthas some things, wanting to influence the future king from a ideological perspective and make him feel good about the Alliance army.

Compared to Uther's seriousness, Turalyon gave people the feeling of being gentle and kind. Arthas had a very good impression of Turalyon and was very willing to listen to his teachings.

If Turalyon could stay in Lordaeron for a long time, Arthas would probably want to transfer to Turalyon's command.

Therefore, Arthas was very happy to see Turalyon again.

"That's great, Turalyon, I'm here for this matter too. Let's investigate this matter together!"

Jaina looked at Turalyon warily. His appearance was too coincidental.

Turalyon shook his head and said, "I have already investigated. Those so-called monsters are actually civilians of Strahnbrad."

"That's impossible!" Arthas said in disbelief, "Why would they pretend to be monsters?"

"They didn't pretend, but turned into so-called monsters after they died!" Turalyon said, "This is a kind of necromantic magic that can resurrect the dead and turn them into undead. These undead, under the control of necromantic magic, will attack all living people they see, so they are regarded as monsters."

"Necromantic magic?" Jaina exclaimed, as if she had remembered something.

"That's right!" Turalyon glanced at Jaina and explained, "We first saw necromancy more than ten years ago, when the orcs used necromancy to infuse the souls of warlocks into powerful human corpses, creating powerful death knights. When we later attacked Draenor, we had already eliminated all the death knights and warlocks. Necromancy should no longer exist. Although our timelines are different, I think the difference should not be too great."

Jaina said, "When the orcs were defeated, Dalaran obtained some books about necromantic magic."

Arthas looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that a mage is behind this?"

"Very likely!" Turalyon said, "We found some moldy grain in the granary, and we detected an evil aura on it. We asked the villagers, and the villagers said that the grain came from Andorhal."

"Andorhal?" Arthas and Jaina looked at each other, both feeling the seriousness of the matter.

Turalyon said, "That's right. If I didn't have to wait for Khadgar, I would have already arrived in Andorhal."

Arthas said, "Now that Jaina is here, and she is also a mage, we can go to Andorhal first."

Turalyon glanced at Jaina, "Although she is a bit young, she should be enough!"

Immediately, Turalyon left a squad of soldiers to wait for Khadgar. He took the others and Arthas and others to Andorhal.

As a result, when they arrived in Andorhal, it had already been captured by the undead. The undead army was slaughtering the civilians of Andorhal, which made the soldiers extremely angry.

Arthas said eagerly, "We must retake Andorhal!"

Turalyon also nodded and said, "The undead have not completely occupied Andorhal yet, and many civilians can still be rescued!"

"You protect the mage, we will attack!"

Turalyon sent a squad of soldiers to protect Jaina, and then followed Arthas and charged towards Andorhal. Turalyon brought hundreds of soldiers, each of whom was battle-hardened. In addition, their surprise attack caught the undead off guard.

These undead had only been resurrected recently, and their combat power was not high. It was only because of their ferocious appearance that they were able to capture Andorhal in one fell swoop.

Now, facing the Alliance army, they didn't even have a chance to fight back before being returned to death.

Arthas took the lead, chasing after a mage-like figure over the gap in the city wall and onto the open space outside the wall.

"Arthas!" Turalyon was afraid that Arthas would have an accident, so he quickly chased after him.

When he reached the wall, he saw a powerful holy light rising into the sky. Over the city wall, he saw a mage lying in front of Arthas, and Arthas's holy light was purifying the mage's body.

"Turalyon, he is the mastermind behind this—Kel'Thuzad!"

"Now, everything is over!"

Is it all over? Turalyon was full of doubts.
