13. Dawn of Stormwind (4)
The atmosphere in the council chamber became tense, especially after the reappearance of Varian, who was said to have been "deposed", even the Duke of Bowval had a trace of sanity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This situation was a bit of a surprise to Katarina, and for the first time, things were out of her control.
Duke Berval is a true heroic paladin, and even if she turns into a dragon, she may not be able to please her, but if Caterina gives up the kingdom she is about to hold, she will never be able to do it! This is not a game like Nefarian said, this is an order from their father, the fallen destroyer of the world, once it is not completed...
Caterina shivered all over her body, as one of the very few female dragons in the current black dragon group, she couldn't imagine the terrible consequences!
And there is another reason, the transfiguration on his body is personally imposed by Nefarian, who is proficient in shadow magic, unless a higher order mage arrives, this transfiguration is unbreakable, but the mage of epic heroes may exist in this world, but it will definitely not be in Stormwind City, a place far away from the center of the world.
Thinking of this, Caterina's heart settled, she played with the cane in her hand, and pretended to invite King Varian to sit on the throne, the king glanced at the countess who had appeared a year ago, and his tired face was full of sorrow and joy, he glanced back at Wendsol, and turned to sit on the throne carved with the head of a lion.
At this moment, Wendthor spoke, and the old warrior seemed to be ready, he took a deep breath, and without looking at the Duke of Berval, who had been sitting next to him shaking his head, his eyes were fixed on Count Caterina Presto, and he said in an angry voice,
"You can't escape your fate, you disguised reptile!"
"Why should I run away?"
Caterina placed her cane in the palm of her hand, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, "You've gone mad, Wendsol, you're provoking a nobleman of high status and orthodox blood, do you know what that means?"
"That's enough! The prophecy has already sealed it! Karazan's vision reveals your fate! Now... Let's get out of this country!"
The old marshal's left hand reached behind his back and grasped the cloth bag.
And the countess's clear laughter also spread throughout the council hall at this moment, and her voice was arrogant and sharp: "No, no, no, no, I only know that you will be imprisoned for treason, and you will storm the kingdom with soldiers, and neither you nor your evil servants will try to escape! Wendsol, you old madman, the councillors of Stormwind will soon arrive in the council hall, and I would love to see them declare you guilty and send you to the gallows!"
Caterina twisted her seductive waist and walked behind Duke Boval, who was constantly shaking his head, trying to make himself sober, and his white jade-like fingers touched Boval's cheek, and with the dance of these fingers, the Duke's struggling face gradually calmed down, and then became cold again.
He looked at Windsol as if he were looking at a stranger, and Katarina's voice rang out again,
"Windthall, when your limp body sways on the gallows, I rejoice that the life of a madman has finally come to an end! After all, what proof do you have that I am evil? No, you can't! Even the king cannot break the laws of this country, do you slander a noble nobleman, storm the palace with soldiers, and then want to leave unharmed and swaggering?"
"Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Katerina's bad character was fully revealed, and Varian, who was sitting on the throne, watched all this, and both fists were clenched!
And Wendsol didn't care about Caterina's provocation at all, his left hand tugged hard, the cloth bag was torn open, and two stone slabs densely engraved with the mysterious runes of the black iron dwarf fell into the palm of his hand, and the old marshal's eyes narrowed, just like an old hunter watching his prey enter the net, and the proud Caterina's eyes also widened violently at this moment!
"That's... The Black Iron Dwarven Royal Family's Demon Slab!How could this thing be in your hands!"
"Damn it! Kill this madman!"
"Stop! Bolvar, wake up!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 minutes ago, the assassins and veterans who were guarding the gate of the storm fortress looked at everyone around them vigilantly, at this critical moment, no one wanted to let a righteous action end tragically because of the anger of the soldiers, Sean stood at the front of the team with two odd short knives, anyone who dared to break through this line of defense would be killed by him mercilessly.
However, just one minute after Marshal Windsor entered the fortress, a strange hissing sound came from the sky, and everyone looked up, and then saw a noble and beautiful astral pegasus flying from the direction of the garden area.
It was a noble creature in everyone's imagination, and with every flap of its wings, it would pull out two starry rays of light in the air, and its whole body was like the stars in the night sky, and its pale blue limbs streaked through the sunlight, refracting a brilliant brilliance on the ground.
Sean's face changed, and his outstanding eyesight saw clearly for the first time the person riding on the astral flying horse.
In front of the gorgeous and serious full-coverage armor in gold, red and black, it was the little prince Anduin Wrynn of Stormwind City, whose face was flushed, and the little prince was still holding a sheathed sword in his hand, judging from that way, it should be the sword of the Great Crusader that only the high-ranking knights of the Knights of the Silver Hand of the Northern Frontier are qualified to use!
Damn it! Stormwind is a real demon flurry right now!
Even the high-ranking knights of the Northern Frontier have appeared!
"What's going to happen in the next second? a fire-breathing dragon?"
Sean complained, walked forward quickly, and when Pegasus landed, the soldiers also saw the little prince in a golden dress and a blue ribbon on his chest, and everyone made room for Pegasus.
Dick rolled over and dismounted, and rudely picked the little prince off his horse, but in the face of this disrespectful behavior, Anduin did not blame him at all, but clenched the silver-white sword in his hand, which was almost as high as him, and his little head turned rapidly, and soon saw Sean walking quickly.
He knew Sean, who was the head of the Knight of the Inner Court, a shady fellow, but his father had told him that Sean was someone he could trust.
You can't expect a little kid to know the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately shouted at the top of his voice,
"Sean, go and save my father! Caterina and Boval imprisoned him, and imprisoned me, Di..."
"Ahem, I saved the little prince!"
Hearing that Anduin was about to reveal his true name, Dick coughed hurriedly, grabbed the battle axe behind his back, took the little prince in one hand, and walked forward quickly, the soldiers and assassins could no longer suppress their anger when they heard the news that the king and prince were imprisoned!
"Follow the prince to save the king!"
Duhan, who was closest to Anduin, couldn't bear it anymore, the veteran loyal to the royal family drew his long sword, turned around and rushed into the storm fortress, the other soldiers responded, and now even Sean had no reason to stop them, in the feudal era, the imprison of the king was a heinous thing, and once it was revealed, the whole peaceful country would be in turmoil in an instant.
What's more, all the soldiers who can follow Wendthor over are loyal to Stormwind City, and the whole news is enough for everyone to be impulsive, and even those veterans who maintain order have turned around and rushed into Stormwind Fortress!
When Sean saw this scene, his figure immediately disappeared in place, and his voice was still lingering in the ears of those subordinates,
"What are you doing in a daze! Storm the fortress and rescue the king!"
Anduin, who was held by Dikla, had to run fast to keep up with Dick's footsteps, and the paladin was ready for battle at this moment, blood-red, wild and violent, and the blade of the blood-roaring battle axe that had always attracted Anduin's attention was covered with a layer of scorching and sharp blades of holy light, and at the moment when he stepped into the fortress quickly, Katarina's murderous voice was also heard.
"Damn it!"
Then there was another male voice that was clearly a little out of breath, "Stop! Bolvar, wake up!"
Dick's face changed under the Judgment Armor, he let go of Anduin's hand, his body rushed forward, two scorching holy light wings spread out behind him, and the flame of burning air rose in the air, with the solemn Judgment Armor, Dick was like an angel descending at this moment!
Anduin grew his mouth, he had seen Dick a year ago, when he followed Duke Berval to attend the Great Conference of the Northern Frontier, in his impression, Dick was just an ordinary, but very imposing paladin, where did he see Dick's real fighting posture?
The 9-year-old child is the time to worship heroes, but the child's father, Varian Ureon, was drunk all day long because of the loss of Queen Tiffy when Anduin was a teenager, and the Duke of Berval is also a serious elder, and the little prince fears him more than he respects, especially after Caterina appears, and when you think about it, there is not even one around Anduin who can meet his expectations of heroes!
But at this moment, the glorious image in the little prince's heart was filled!
Yes, the solemn armor of judgment that seemed to have come out of mythology, the wings behind it, the flame burning beside him, and the violent axe, all of these were gathered into the most perfect image in Anduin's heart.
And Dick's heroic actions also infected the little prince, he pulled out the silver-white sword handed to the crusaders handed to him for self-defense, coupled with the delicately carved handle, completely born for war, also looked quite powerful, Anduin abandoned the royal etiquette for the first time, he tore off the blue ribbon that hindered walking, and followed Dick into the hall, he also let out his own childish roar,
"Father, I'm here to save you!"
At this time, in the center of the council hall, seeing that those indifferent guards were about to kill Wendthor who was chanting a spell, Varian's voice was also raised!
The cold-faced Boward expression loosened again at this moment, and when the dozen or so long swords were about to slash into Wendsol's body, the duke, who had been inactive, finally moved, his left hand was raised, and a bright aura bloomed from his side, it was the aura that Dick had used - the protective aura!
But as a hero-level paladin, the protective aura used by Bervar is much stronger than Dick's, and it even achieves a single blessing, and the moment before the weapon is added, a light similar to the Holy Shield appeared on the surface of Wendthor's body, and the long swords that were slashed over were bounced away.
Seeing the sudden action of Berval, who had been controlled by herself, Caterina's face finally became ugly, because at this moment, Wendthor had finished reciting the dwarven language on the two stone tablets, and a dark light bloomed from the stone slab held high in the air by the old marshal, and in less than a second, it spread to the entire council hall.
The next moment, a roar like an ancient beast sounded in the council hall, and the faces of the controlled Bovar, Varian, and the soldiers who rushed into the fortress, including Sean, who was walking quickly in the shadows, all changed drastically.
Is that... That's the roar of a dragon!
