Do you see now? Sending your men against the prince's armies just swells their numbers.
I don't expect you to understand... you'll probably just end up like the others. You'd best return to whoever sent you. They might be worried.

You probably think you're quite strong -- fighting these undead and crushing their bones beneath your war machines. That is nothing compared to the strength it took to create them. I saw the prince do it himself. I can show you how it happened... if you'd like.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
We need to keep our momentum going. Let's not give the Scourge forces any respite. Sindragosa's Fall lies east just beyond the Valley of Lost Hope. The Cult of the Damned operate there, under close supervision of the Lich King's undead vrykul lackeys.
