Arthas was directing the Lordaeron army against the Orcs when he suddenly felt something and turned his head, only to witness a scene that he would never forget.
Old Saurfang pulled the Soul Cleaver Battle Axe from the corpse of King Aidan. Around the king, five or six princes were bravely fighting Frostwolf Knights, but they were blocked and unable to come to their father's aid.
This... Arthas was shocked. The battle had barely started. How had the king fallen?
One must say, King Aidan was too reckless. He had so many valiant warriors at his disposal, and yet, he chose to face the Orc general in single combat...
His young mind couldn't comprehend what had just happened, and he fell into a brief stupor, until he was awakened by a wave of cries like a tsunami.
"The king is dead! The king is dead!"
A succession of cries of alarm started ringing, spreading like dominoes in all directions, quickly affecting the entire Alliance army.
