Early the next morning at Arthas' new base camp...

Summary[]

Upon returning to their base camp both Arthas and Muradin learn that the Alliance forces were being recalled to Lordaeron by King Terenas, who was convinced to do so by Uther the Lightbringer. Knowing that he couldn't defeat Mal'Ganis without his men, Arthas and a reluctant Muradin set out to destroy the naval ships to prevent the rest of the Alliance from returning home. As the Alliance cut their way through the woods, Arthas was forced to hire mercenaries in order to fight through the undead and burn the ships. Arthas's mission would be successful and his men would finish hacking through the woods just in time to see the last ship burning. With his men dismayed at being unable to go home, Arthas would blame the mercenaries for burning the ships and led the charge against them himself.

Lord Uther has ordered that your expedition be recalled. To prevent your men from abandoning the hunt for Mal'Ganis, you must burn their ships before they reach the frozen shoreline.

Transcript[]

A Zeppelin arrives at Arthas' base and drops off an Emissary and two Footmen. They approach the Captain, who is standing with his men around a campfire.
IconSmall Human Male Captain Luc Valonforth: I apologize, emissary, but the prince is away on an errand. What brings you to this desolate place?
IconSmall HighElf Male Emissary: By royal edict, you men are to return to Lordaeron immediately. Lord Uther has convinced the king to recall this expedition.
IconSmall Human Male Captain Luc Valonforth: We're to just pick up and leave?
The Emissary sighs.
IconSmall HighElf Male Emissary: That's correct. My men report that the roads from here to the shore are held by the undead. You'll need to find an alternate route back to your ships.
The Captain turns to his Footmen as the Emissary takes his leave.
IconSmall Human Male Captain Luc Valonforth: To hell with the undead! We'll cut our way through the woods, men!
The Footmen run off to the south. Sometime later, Arthas and Muradin arrive to the scene from the north.
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Captain, why are the guards not at their posts?
IconSmall Human Male Captain Luc Valonforth: Well, milord, your father had our troops recalled at Lord Uther's request.
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Uther had my troops recalled? Damn it! If my warriors abandon me, I'll never defeat Mal'Ganis. The ships must be burned before the men reach the shore!
IconSmall Muradin Muradin Bronzebeard: Isn't that a bit much, lad?
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Burned down to their frames! No one goes home until our job here is done!

During the Mission[]

IconSmall Arthas Arthas: We'll need more men to fight our way through the undead.
IconSmall Muradin Muradin Bronzebeard: I've come across a few mercenary camps up here. Perhaps we can hire a few of them?
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Damn Uther for forcing me to do this!
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Very good! But there are still more ships to deal with!
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Well done! Only one ship remains!

Mission Complete[]

The Captain and the rest of Arthas' forces finish cutting their way through the woods and come upon the scene of the prince and the burning ships.
IconSmall Human Male Captain Luc Valonforth: Prince Arthas?
The ice troll and ogre mercenaries approach.
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Quickly, my warriors! These murderous creatures have burned our ships and robbed you of your way home! Slay them all in the name of Lordaeron!
IconSmall Human Male Footman: Damn beasts!
IconSmall Human Male Knight: Kill them all!
The mercenaries are killed by Arthas' men.
IconSmall Human Male Footman: Our ships are ruined. What will we do now?
IconSmall Arthas Arthas: Listen to me, all of you! There is no way home for any of us, save through victory! In this land we will stand or fall together. Now, return to the base and man your posts.
