Arthas stepped forward out of the small undead base with Twilight and Jaina behind him, he shouted “I call out to who leads the Elven Forces in these lands!”

A tall female blonde elf jumped down “I am Sylvanas Windrunner, Ranger General of the Elves.”

Arthas sighed “I have need of the High Elves Sunwell and I simply am asking that you and your eleven breathin leave these lands so no harm may come to your people.”

Sylvanas laughed “You think we will let you just waltz in and taint our precious Sunwell” she then glared at him “You will die this day, Arthas.”

Arthas frowned “No not today, you have twenty-four hours to evacuate any civilians from the area. We will fight on the morrow.”

Sylvanas nodded “You are an honourable one, very well tomorrow it is.”

Arthas scowled to her “Every elf that dies for this is on your head and don’t you forget it!” Arthas stormed off to his base, he fumed “Well diplomacy failed, it seem we we must spill blood!”

Twilight frowned “She made her choice and now we have to do what we must.”

Arthas nodded “We have twenty-four hours to prepare while they evacuate their civilians.” They had begun producing ghouls and necromancers to as well as meat wagons to destroy buildings.

Jaina sighed “Now we are killing soldiers trying to protect their homeland, are you sure we are doing the right thing?”

Twilight frowned “I understand your concerns Jaina but we gave them the option to surrender to let us pass without grief but they refused.”

Arthas frowned “I will give her my offer again after this battle is over, I hope she will wise up before we are forced to level their capital.”

Twenty four hours later Arthas launched a swift assault his forces tearing through the elven bases leaving nothing but burning ruins and countless dead elves. Arthas growled as his forces smashed the Elf-gate “I know your watching Sylvanas, I warned you and now look all the lives you could have saved! So I’m giving you another chance surrender!”

Sylvanas ran through the trees tears in the eyes as she swore vengeance for her fallen comrades. Arthas and his forces delve deeper into elven lands, Sylvanas retreated her forces over the bridge over the Elrender River. Arthas frowned “Surrender before I must spill any more elven blood.”

Sylvanas growled “I won’t, you will never pass our second elf-gate it is protected by a key, one you will never attain.” With a flurry of magical arrows she destroyed the bridge, Arthas shouted “Shit!”

Twilight frowned “What now.”

Jaina frowned “We need to set up a base and prepare an attack force.”

Arthas nodded “Also we should locate some Goblin Zeppelins so we travel across the isles, there should be some around the place looking to make some gold.”

Twilight and Jaina had begun the base set up in earnest, while Arthas sat there contemplating everything he had done. Kel’Thuzad frowned “Arthas, look I am not a soulless bastard so spill what’s bothering you.”

Arthas sighed “It’s just how much must I kill before I am done with this.”

Kel’Thuzad shook his head “If we are lucky not much, if we’re not I don’t know but you must stay strong. You are our leader after all.”

It didn’t take the group long not just to set up a functioning base and after repelling a few attacks an army of crypt fiends, ghouls, necromancers and meat wagons were awaiting them. Twilight flew over to Arthas “Are you alright?”

Arthas nodded “Yes, I am just wondering how much more death needs to be caused because she spots being so stubborn.”

Arthas split their massive attack force into three, Jaina leading one force, Twilight leading the second and Arthas leading the third within in seconds the elvish bases were destroyed by the three pronged attack each had retrieved a shard from the temple and with that converged on the elf-gate quickly decimating the defenders and using the three shards to form the key that obliterated the elf-gate allowing them access to Silvermoon.

Their force arrived in the final lands, they suffered very little causalities as they took the elf-gate and thus their force was awaiting commands as they set up a new base. Soon Sylvanas launched an assault on the base only for her forces to be decimated, and then Arthas sent his forces to swamp her base leaving nothing but ruins and corpses, Sylvanas growled “Finish me off, you’ve killed of my men.”

Arthas pleaded “Sylvanas, look how many have died these are soldiers that you commanded to fight us despite the fact I gave two chances to surrender and if you don’t take this now I’ll be forced to destroy your people and inevitably when two armies clash it’s the civilians that get caught in the crossfire so please organise a surrender.”

Sylvanas realised as she looked around “I’m a fool, you have acted honourably and I have been rude and callous. Very well I’ll convince them, rest assured there will be no more bloodshed.”

Twilight frowned “Do you trust her?”

Arthas nodded “She won’t put innocents in harm’s way.”

Jaina nodded “Then we wait for them to evacuate these lands.” The three sat in their main base as they built a large outpost in case they had to defend themselves.

So yes Arthas gave her a chance, two even.
