Attack the enemies and push them to Brill. A cinematic plays:
:Anduin and Greymane lead Alliance forces back to Brill, away from the cloud of blight. As they reach a clear area, both kings turn and face the walls of Lordaeron.
:
:
:A cold wind begins to blow; both kings turn, and Genn growls as a stormcloud approaches them from the rear.
:
:The cloud parts, revealing a vessel held aloft by arcane magic. Standing at the bow, hair and cloak whipping in the wind, is...
:
:Jaina Proudmoore raises her hands, channeling a wave of frost magic to clear the blight clouds and freeze the Forsaken catapults and the risen skeletons.
:
:Anduin leads his rallied troops through the clearing haze towards Lordaeron. As he approaches the base of the walls, he turns and looks upward.
:
:Jaina uses her magic to turn the ship to starboard, its arcane-charged cannons blasting a hole in the city's outer walls. Approaching the breach, Anduin dismounts and draws Shalamayne.
:
===Like Wildfire===
*Description: The Alliance have breached the wall. Meet with Nathanos Blightcaller to intercept them at a crucial chokepoint.

===The Dark Lady===

:
:
:
:
:
:
:
:Sylvanas and the party runs in the direction of the Throne room.
An ending cutscene plays:
:Baine slams the door of the throne room shut before angrily rounding on Sylvanas.
:
:
:Baine closes his eyes a moment, then glares for a moment at Sylvanas.
:
:After Baine leaves, Sylvanas turns to Nathanos, holding out her bow.
:
:As Nathanos takes her bow, she lifts his chin with her finger, so that his eyes meet hers.
:
:Nathanos nods and leaves the room. Sylvanas approaches the empty throne of King Terenas and lounges in it, waiting for her "visitors". A moment later, the doors slam open, and Anduin, Genn, Jaina, and Alleria enter. Anduin steps into the center of the seal on the floor to face her. Her sarcasm drips heavily.
:
:
:Huffing at the interruption, Sylvanas rolls her eyes.
:
:Genn snarls in anger, but Anduin raises an arm to hold him back.
:
:
:Sylvanas points at the blade of Shalamayne, splashed with blood.
:
:
:
:
: Sylvanas sighs.
:
: Stepping forward, Genn responds with barely suppressed rage.
:
:
: Snapping at Genn, Anduin slams the tip of Shalamayne's blade against the floor with a resounding clang. Genn shifts his posture back to a standing position. Anduin turns back to the Warchief.
:
:Jaina looks away briefly while Anduin talks about his failure. Sylvanas rises from Terenas' throne and approaches the Alliance leaders; Genn snarls in anticipation for an attack while Alleria nocks an arrow and holds it steady at full draw, the two spreading out from Anduin to form a triangle with Jaina, surrounding him and Sylvanas as she stops face-to-face with him. Alleria glances up to the left as she hears a sound in the distance, but quickly turns her attention back to her sister.
:
:Sylvanas becomes enveloped in shadows and lets out a banshee scream, knocking down her opponents and detonating barrels of Blight hidden in the balconies around the throne room before smashing through the ceiling of the dome. Anduin and the others move towards the door as the masonry collapses in front of them, blocking their exit.
:
:Jaina channels a teleportation spell, taking her, Anduin, Genn, and Alleria to her ship. Sylvanas lands on the deck of a Horde gunship, and silently takes back her bow when Nathanos holds it out to her. She watches the blight spread through Lordaeron, then looks over at Jaina's ship, and the Alliance leaders staring in shock and anger at her...which she acknowledges with a slight smirk.
On the other side players are riding an Undercity Plaguebat back to Orgrimmar, and land on top of the front gate. Turn in to Nathanos.
