Gilneas is now in a lockdown stationed martial law to all the citizens to stay inside their homes and don't come out until the battle is done, seeing Gilnean soldiers running over the roads and streets making their way towards the Graymane wall to defend it against the enemy that is coming, all riflemen are stationed on top of the walls while the armies of both Easterlings and Gilneans stays on the ground, Agandaur riding on a horse with Genn Graymane with him looking at their forces mobilising seeing this might be enough to hold against Lordaeron and its forces.
Arthas with Jaina and Auric make their way towards the Graymane wall fusing their forces together before making their way towards the wall, they all started to stay outside out of their range forming a plan to figure out just how are they going to breach through that gate, attacking it head on will give Gilneas a victory so quickly.
Auric moves towards Jaina and Arthas seeing them thinking of a strategy. "Any ideas?"
"Not really." Arthas responds "However it would be best to think of a strategy when the army of Tyr's Hand arrives, we can't start without them."
"If we attack we will likely lose... the Graymane wall is strong and well fortified, i don't think we could breach through and siege the city and take the king out..."
"And there's one of Saurons servants in there so we need to take him out before Sauron himself comes to Lordaeron."
"We could try sieging the wall then we could..."
"Sir!" one of the soldiers comes running towards them. "We got backup from the High Elves."
"The elves are here?"
"Yes... Prince Kael'Thas has arrived..."
Prince Kael'Thas and three hundred high elves arrives along with the army of Tyr's Hand as well, he comes with them marching to the east to join forces with Arthas and the others. He has recovered from the last attack and now he wishes to return again, this time he will not fall to the forces of darkness.
Both Arthas and Kael walks towards each other then both would shake hands. "Prince Kael'Thas... i didn't expect you would return to the battlefield after what happen."
"I know... my father wouldn't allow it either but i needed to see this through." He looks at Jaina then to Arthas "I see you are preparing to siege the wall."
"Yes but i don't think we can siege the wall..." Arthas looks over to the gate "If we siege the gate we might lose many soldiers, if we get it right we could win the gate but if we lose too many men then there is no way we could win fighting the city, right now it's a risk that we have to take."
"I could try something... it will be able to work on the gate but the rest is up to you." He started heading out there with some mages behind him.
Arthas started to quickly get the army ready to charge and to see what Kael is doing, he comes heading closer staying away from the gate for now but he faces towards the Graymane wall, he stands there while the Gilneans started to take aim at Kael. The mages he brought quickly created a mana shield to stop their bullets from piercing through so Kael can stand there closing his eyes and begins a summoning, summoning his faithful companion that will show Arthas and the Alliance.
The phoenix flames started to circle around Kael like a circle, flaming around them while the mana shield is still intact, Kael opens his eyes then spreads his arms and looks up in the sky. "I call upon you my old friend... i call upon the phoenix god Al'ar. Come forth and cut a path for me and my friends so we can finally burn the darkness and its curse over Gilneas."
The flames started to fly off behind him heading at high speed over the ground then started flying into the sky, creating the form of the phoenix, his friend Al'ar the phoenix god reveals its true form to Kael and everyone else. Kael lowers his arms and looks over seeing him yet again while the Alliance held their position watching the show and so does the soldiers on the wall, seeing this large phoenix in the far distance.
The phoenix started to fly towards Kael then Kael turns back and points out to Gilneas, sending that phoenix on a course towards the Graymane gate. The soldiers began to open fire at the phoenix when it comes towards it, their bullets are useless against the phoenix it only made things worse and it does heading towards them until finally it penetrates through the great Graymane gate, it comes smashing right through it like a homing missile blasting the top of the wall as well flying outwards then flies into the sky as its job is done, the great phoenix simply burns up then explodes creating this flash of light in the sky causing anyone who saw it blind for a few seconds.
"For Lordaeron!" Arthas shouts out drawing his sword then charges out to the gate with the armies of the Alliance behind him, charging over the field while most of the soldiers who are blind to be disable for a little bit.
The soldiers on the wall looks out seeing the armies of the Alliance charging towards them, they quickly got into positions and started to fire down at them hitting some while they keep going. The armies on the other side started to quickly act and Agandaur was on his horse with Graymane looking out as the army of the Alliance comes charging through, Agandaur was shock to see what just happened out there seeing the gate is destroyed and they come smashing through their front line army, clashing through them.
"Damn those bastards..." Agandaur said then looks at Genn Graymane. "Get your men on the attack, go!"
He looks at Agandaur then out to the Alliance, he drew his sword and started riding out. "Soldiers of Gilneas... to me!"
The Gilneans comes marching around the rest of the forces who are fighting against them, stopping the Alliance from going around they all go smashing through each other fighting through with what they have, continuing while Arthas tries to fight through to see where Agandaur is so he can see who is the main target.
They fight their way through and will be a while before anyone retreats it's like it will maybe take twenty minutes or more for this battle to go anywhere. Arthas continues swinging through, using his divine shield to block many attacks and comes running through, swinging forth and ramming a few like a tank thanks to his shield, Jaina and Kael ends up teaming up using his phoenix fire and her water blasts and sends them outwards blasting some of the Easterlings and sending everyone else flying back. Agandaur was caught on Arthas' sight seeing him just sitting there on his horse, he looks out seeing Arthas but stays where he is as Genn Graymane is taken care of this mess.
Just as Arthas continues fighting his way through his shield went off and Genn Graymane appears swinging forth almost hitting Arthas however he stopped and lean back avoiding the swing that comes upwards, he moves back then held his sword with two hands swinging at Genn, blocking the attack then tries to take out a pistol to shoot Arthas but he moved his head out of the way then moved closer to him, head butting his face and hitting him again at the end of his sword, pushing him back then swings forward trying to hit his chest but missed and hit only his sword.
He ditches his pistol then held his sword with two hands, swinging forward clashing against Arthas a few times until he got too close to him, elbowing his face then hitting him again across the face with his arm knocking him back, he swings upwards hitting Arthas' chest but didn't cut through his armour, he swings again clashing against his weapon causing a crack to appear in the middle of his sword causing Arthas to push Genn back and moves away aiming his sword at him with one hand to it staying back just in case his next attack might break his sword.
The forces of Gilneas and Easterlings held back moving away as the army continues charging through, using magic to demolish their forces pushing them back and eventually they are force to fall back. King Graymane seeing this outcome then looks back to Arthas, he wish he could finish this fight however he decided to retreat as well returning to the main city while Agandaur was still on his horse looking out at the outcome of this match, no choice but to turn back and ride back into the city while the armies of the Alliance press forward taking full control over the walls of Graymane.
With their forces retreating into the city in the west the Alliance held position to recover from this, knowing that attacking the city now will be a problem to them since they need some rest. Arthas returns to his beloved Jaina while Kael with Auric rounds up the forces of the Alliance and prepare for a strategy to strike, maybe he will call forth the phoenix again to smash through their gate if it is needed.
Auric stands next to Prince Kael'Thas who looks at the city, placing his hands on his waist looking at it. "Such a dark place... full of dangerous foes that wishes to see this land annihilated."
"Indeed milord... the Gilneans have always been causing a huge threat to the humans and us high elves..."
"And yet another dark foe is coming from the south... armies of this Sauron pressing closely to Lordaeron, Lordaeron cannot take care of that army... every time a soldier dies on this end then Sauron is close of destroying us so quickly."
"Is there no other way to stop them milord? Can the dwarves defeat him?"
"I have heard that the orcs from Blackrock Mountain will press the attack on Khaz Modan, both the orcs of this world and the orcs from the other will unite under one banner and will bring the flames of war upon the dwarves..."
"I wish we can do something milord... if Gilneas never joined Sauron we could have sent our armies down to the south to join Stormwind, we could have won."
"Yes... but the dwarves are not fighting alone; my father will send the help he can get to assist the dwarves of the Iron Forge."
"Really?"
"An army of five thousand will come forth from Quel'Thalas, marching its way to Khaz Modan to assist the dwarves on the fight out there; Lor'themar will be leading the assault against the armies of Sauron and Blackrock Mountain and will also send in a weapon that can give us enough time."
"A weapon?"
"A mana bomb created by my father... this weapon can annihilate an army with it; with it we can defeat them and will drive them back. If the enemy wants to take the dwarven homeland then he has to come there and take it from them, otherwise the enemy will break through."
"I feel like the enemy will try to hit everything they got on Khaz Modan, they may have defeated the armies of Stormwind but a great army of the dwarves will likely be strong to push back the enemy."
Kael turns back and started to return to Arthas and Jaina "It took two armies to smash Stormwind to the ground, one army is destroyed but the other one went right through it." He said to Auric while he walks behind him. "Now it's this again but this time the dwarves will not fight alone in this matter."
The two walks up to Jaina and Arthas seeing them hugging each other then looks back to them. "We shouldn't be focusing on each other right now prince Arthas, the enemy still needs to be taken care of."
"Agreed..." He moves off of Jaina then looks at Kael "Can you summon your phoenix god again?"
"Gilneas will not survive another attack from my phoenix; once the gate is gone you can signal the attack the charge inside. What exactly are you going to do inside that place anyway?" He looks back at the city.
"First we siege control of the city, then we go find the servants of Sauron and kill every last one of them, they will not show mercy to us and they will definitely not share information with us if we interrogate with them. They need to be destroyed once and for all."
"And the king?" Jaina asked
Arthas looks at her for a while before saying anything. "If he is captured then he can sign the surrender of Gilneas to the Alliance, that way we can command whats left of the army of Gilneas to attack the real enemy."
"I am not sure if the Alliance will allow the forces of Gilneas to join our cause, after what is going to happen to their city they will definitely betray us." Auric said
"Well then... we got no other options we must show them the truth." Kael said then started walking to the city.
"Let's go Jaina..." he walks after him getting Jaina to follow behind him and so does Auric too.
As the army of Gilneas and what is left of the Easterling soldiers, holding the gate and preparing a defence inside, standing in the cathedral quarters of Gilneas. They wait for a while until an attack happens on their gate but suddenly an explosion goes off from the gate again as Kael'Thas brought the phoenix god Al'ar back into the fight, blasting its way through the gate and burning all the soldiers that was in front of the gate, once it was done it flew towards the rest of the soldiers defending the gate and creates this flaming shockwave across the area before it explodes like last time, sending everyone back and causing a flash of light to make most of them blind for a few seconds for the Alliance to come charging through the gate, leading the assault Arthas charges with a new sword a silver long sword charging through with the armies and smashing through the defenders of Gilneas knocking them back and causing the rest to retreat back.
Arthas swings through striking the Gilneans with no hesitations, striking through and knocking them back destroying their defences completely then once they took half of the cathedral quarters Arthas looks back to the others, getting them to go all over the city for control while he and the others team up to deal with Agandaur and Graymane that lies in the middle of the city, trying to enter the light's dawn cathedral. Kael does send a few explosion flame strikes from the ground, sending the guards by the door to go up in flames, burning them alive and clearing a path for the others to breach through where they will be waiting for them.
Inside the cathedral Jaina blast open the door then the four charges through seeing Agandaur standing there with Graymane and a few Easterling soldiers standing nearby, drawing arrows they quickly fired towards them but Jaina held her staff in front of the team creating this mana shield and blocking their arrows, Kael got involved and sent a few fireballs at them blasting them back and the only people who are standing are only Agandaur and Graymane.
Arthas steps forward shouting to Agandaur and Graymane. 'Your reign of terror across Lordaeron is over! You will face judgement from my sword Agandaur."
"Hmn... strange that you know of my name." He said when he walks forward drawing his sword. "I do not know you but you seem to know me well..."
"That's because the man who saw this world about to end warned us... that is why we have been in front of you, you were never two steps ahead of us we were always there right in front of you stopping you lot from destroying Lordaeron."
"I see... so i guess Stratholme was just collateral damage and so does the capital... no matter, the armies of Sauron will come and when he comes to Lordaeron this city will be waiting to bow down to him." He turns his head to Kael and Auric. "Once Lordaeron falls Quel'Thalas shall be next in line to fall."
"How dare you..."
"Now then..." He looks back to Graymane "Kill them all." Then back to them.
Genn obeyed then drew his sword again looking at Arthas then takes out his pistol then fired, hitting Jaina's shield again then charges and so does he clashing their swords together in the middle of the room while the others go to deal with Agandaur, Kael drawing his Felo'Melorn sword and moves to the side away from Genn and Arthas ready to attack him while he stands there with his sword ready and his arm covered on bluish energy.
Kael runs to the side firing three fireballs at him, he turns to him raising his hand blocking those attacks with his shield, he goes running after the third fireball hit his arm clashing his sword against Kael and his blade, Jaina runs behind him summoning a water element in front of her but when Agandaur looks back he lays a kick to Kael then sends a lightning strike through it hitting her staff and knocking her back causing the element to fall. Auric runs to take a leap swinging down cutting his chest and kicking him back, he slides back but stood his ground looking back to Auric he charges swinging his sword clashing against him a few times until he moved back missing Kael's fireball, he looks back to him sending a lightning blast at him but he sends a fireball countering the attacks then looks at Auric who swings against his sword again, soon he does a spin sending this red wave in a three sixty of his swing knocking Auric back and so does Kael as he was in range of that attack.
Jaina was ready to attack but she notices some Gilnean soldiers entering the cathedral from the side, she sends a fireball at one of them then summons another water element to deal with them for now. Arthas and Genn continues fighting swinging their swords then Genn takes out his pistol to shoot him again, Arthas moved but Genn fired hitting the side of his left leg then swings forth giving him a cut on the side of the face. Arthas moved away then place his hand over his cut feeling it and looks at his hand having blood on it, he looks back to Genn then blocks his next attack when he comes running at him.
Auric charges again clashing against Agandaur and his sword, he pushes him back then sends another lightning blast hitting his chest and when he falls to the ground he is electrocuted, feeling the pains all over his body causing him not to get up so Kael runs towards him then swings his hand up sending this flaming blast from the ground, he quickly makes a shield below to stop the flames from burning his feet then Jaina comes sending this water wave at him, swinging her staff creating this water wave pushing him back then slips falling face first on the floor then Kael sends three more fireballs hitting his back a few times then the third one hits him in the face when he tried to get back up, taking the hit and falls back on the floor.
Jaina sends this arcane bolt to his Auric removing the effect on that lightning, getting him back up while Kael walks over to him to finish this while Arthas and Genn keeps going until the two held their swords together then Arthas head buts him across the face pushing him back then swings to his hand cutting his wrist and dropping his sword, Arthas ends up striking down hitting his right shoulder then pulls it out while he lays there on his knees, placing his hand over his wound.
Arthas aims his sword to his neck then looks over to the three. "Finish this now..."
The three looks back to Agandaur who slowly gets back up. "My master... i need your help... i need your power..." He said looking up at the ceiling, taking out this black orb with moving clouds inside of it, raising it in the air. "My master... help me now!"
Agandaur would get a call from Sauron who still stands in Stormwind in the throne room, standing in the middle and communicates with Agandaur through his mind. "You failed me Agandaur... your service here is over..."
"NO... master!"
Auric charges then swings down striking through his body yet again, ending his life. He falls to the ground letting the orb go rolling down the room and letting his blood spill out of his wounds, Auric moves back looking at his body seeing if he is still alive since he wasn't moving he place his sword away then looks back to Kael, nodding him then moves away for Kael to raise his hand burning his body just in case.
Genn suddenly gasps breathing in the air as the ring he still wears started to shatter to pieces, releasing him from that control of Agandaur. He leans his head down looking at his hand seeing the ring is gone then looks at Arthas who still stands in front of him.
"What..."
"What have you done?" Arthas said "You brought a great war to Lordaeron and the Alliance..."
"No..." he shakes his head "Damn you... prince..."
Arthas lowers his sword "It's over king Graymane... you have lost this fight against the Alliance, now surrender and i will spare your life and your city, you won't see us again but you will see us when our enemies draw near in Lordaeron."
"I will... not surrender to you Arthas..."
Arthas grabs his neck placing his sword close to his neck over his hand. "Is this what you want?! Chaos and war across our lands? You would choose to let all of your people... all of Gilneas to fall in order to destroy Lordaeron?!"
"I had no choice..." he looks up at him "He is coming and there is nothing we can do about it... we might as well join them... join him and he might spare our land in exchange for support on joining his armies..."
"Lordaeron will never join him... the Alliance will never join that man, he has already killed hundreds of thousands of people all over the eastern kingdoms and all he has to do is just signal his pawns to do his work. You are just a pawn Genn nothing more and once your job here is done he will cast you to the side, your kingdom will not survive if you work with him."
Jaina stands there with Auric and Kael while they look over to Arthas, she looks back seeing that orb lying on the ground, starring at the clouds inside of it then started to slowly walk towards it while the two are watching the scene with Arthas and Genn.
"This isn't a debate anymore... either you call your army to surrender to the Alliance or we will take Gilneas from you." He moves his sword away from him and let's go of his neck, he looks up at Kael and Auric then turns to see Jaina walking off. "Jaina?"
She moves closer to it and when the two elves look back Kael shouts to her, raising his hand out. "Jaina don't!"
She picked it up and suddenly she couldn't let go of it, standing up and feeling the pain from that orb seeing the clouds turn to fire, burning her and communicating with the dark lord himself who got her signal. She has her eyes closed seeing something, seeing the view of Stormwind today seeing armies marching all over this land destroying the grass and environment, seeing the city of Stormwind completely destroyed and black and her view goes zooming inside the throne room where Sauron will turn back starring at her for the moment, he swings at her then she appears somewhere else appearing in Khaz Modan seeing the Iron Forge completely destroyed as well seeing an Orc army raining chaos across the land, burning everything then her view takes off to Quel'Thalas seeing the forest on fire and the gates of Quel'Thalas smashed and Silvermoon lies destroyed seeing the dark lord standing by the Sunwell where he will walk towards it, placing his hand with the ring on it through the well changing it but before she could see the rest Kael grabs the orb then throws it across the room causing Jaina to fall to the ground but Arthas catches her before she hit the ground.
"Fool of a took!" Kael shouts looking at the orb then to Jaina.
Auric runs towards it swinging his sword down at it smashing the orb in a few pieces, hearing these whispers of voices like souls leaving the orb but he couldn't see them. He looks back to Jaina seeing her lying there asleep in Arthas' arms still alive but barely.
"Jaina..." He looks at Kael and Auric "Can you two wrap this up?"
"I guess so..." he looks at Graymane then walks over to him seeing him standing up, he grabs his injured shoulder. "It's funny how you can be defeated by a prince..."
"Shut up..."
Auric looks at Arthas "We better report to the king and tell him that we won the fight in Gilneas."
