The territory of the Stormwind Kingdom has been quite unquiet recently, first of all, the Seventh Legion guarding the Burning Plains was transferred to the Zerg battlefield in Silisus, which led to a leak in the originally tight defense line of Lakeside Town, which is actually not a big deal in itself, after all, five months ago, most of the creatures in the Burning Plains were completely wiped out by the outbreak of the insect plague.

But on the third day after this defensive omission, a group of cultists brazenly attacked Lakeside Town, which is located on the shore of Zhishui Lake, which is the largest human gathering point in the relatively barren environment of the Red Ridge Mountain Province compared to other provinces, and has been at the forefront of the confrontation with the orcs since the old tribal era, even after the victory of the Human Alliance, it is also conservatively entrenched in the attack of the Blackstone Orcs in the Black Stone Mountain, and there are one or two invasions almost every year.

In this harsh environment, the militia that came out of here was even more capable of fighting than the army in other places, and it was able to win and lose against the Blackstone Orcs just by relying on rudimentary armaments, which was definitely a fierce folk style.

The Twilight cultists were also unlucky, as they brought a hive crystal from a secret place, intending to emulate the battle of the Burning Plains five months ago, flooding Lakeside Town with a sea of worms to announce the advent of chaos.

But just as they released the hive crystal, just when Cthun and the Twin Emperors died, the spiritual connection between the insects was immediately severed, and the brain worms in the hive crystal went crazy, controlling the rampaging workers to bite all the cultists to death, and then fled into the vast mountains of the Red Ridge Mountain.

Although there were no casualties, the veteran mayor of Lakeside Town realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately invited the legion of the Burning Plains and the secret agents of MI7 to start searching for these increasingly rampant cultists in Lakeside Town.

I didn't expect this check to really find out the problem!

That night, the cultists, who had been hunted down to a desperate situation, set fire to the houses where they had taken refuge, and as a result, they set fire to half of Lakeside Town, killing more than 40 civilians, and this vicious incident spread throughout the Stormwind Kingdom within a week, and the people who felt that no one around them could be trusted flocked to Stormwind City and the Northshire Abbey, which directly caused the newly restored government of Stormwind City to be almost paralyzed.

Moreover, news of cultists has been coming from all over the country, and in the face of this overwhelming bad news, the white-haired King Varian could not think of a good way, and this good old man could only repeatedly ask his generals and high-ranking officials to ensure the safety of the people.

But even if MI7 is operating at full strength, it still can't detect the base camp of these cultists who have suddenly intensified in the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, and in Shore's absence, Goblin Razor can only use the most old-fashioned method to sprinkle the spies all over the country, and cooperate with the militia to exterminate the cultists.

But when the country is in turmoil, it needs a high-ranking and powerful man to stand up and appease people's hearts, and the current King Varian can't bear this heavy responsibility, Archbishop Benedictas was originally the most suitable person, but because he had just returned to Stormwind from the battlefield of the Battle of Quicksand, he was seriously ill, and finally the regent Berval had no choice but to bring back the little prince Anduin from Theramore.

Anduin is the direct bloodline of the royal family of the Stormwind Kingdom, the future Destiny King of the Stormwind Kingdom, and he will take the royal guards to patrol various places, and the effect will even be better than Varian's personal dispatch.

So in this situation, Anduin, who hurried back to Stormwind from Theramore, embarked on his own tour of the country, and this was the fifth day, and they were about to sail out of the Elwyn Forest for the Western Wilderness.

"Lex, do you think Dr. Harrison will blame me?"

Anduin sat in a carriage that was not luxurious, but solemn, and generally wiped the blade of the short sword at his waist with a sword cloth, and turned his head to ask the druid-Lex-Talon sitting beside him.

The young druid and the little prince unexpectedly got along, and the Cenarion Council was to set up ambassadors in Stormwind, so Lex took on the responsibility. He knew that the Knight of Dawn had originally planned to arrange a veteran watcher to protect Anduin, but due to the special status of the little prince and the delicate situation in the Stormwind Kingdom, this plan ended up in vain.

Faced with the little prince's question, Lex shook his head, his green pupils looked out the window of the carriage ahead, the lush environment of the Elwyn Forest made Lex enjoy it, this exoticism was also a great experience for the druids.

"That Mr. Harrison, under his old-fashioned face, hides a very young heart, I can smell the Doctor's desire for freedom, so he looks reluctant to walk out of the big library, but in fact, from his beating steps, this Mr. Doctor, probably tired of the library. ”

Lex explained to Anduin in detail what he had seen, which was a simple sight to an observant druid, but a little more complicated for a child of Anduin's age.

Luckily, though, the little prince learns quickly.

"That said, Dr. Harrison also wants to go out and continue his adventure..."

Anduin put his long and short sword back into the scabbard, and took a stack of MI7 materials from the table in front of him, his face under his golden hair was full of surprise and excitement, "I heard from my mentor that Dr. Harrison's past is complicated, so I asked the agents to help me collect his information, oh my God, I didn't even know that my old-fashioned history teacher, when he was young, was actually a well-known adventurer, and even got the qualification of honorary membership of the Dwarven Explorers Association." ”

"I've heard that he also single-handedly challenged an entire ogre tribe and succeeded, which is incredible. ”

Anduin waved the information in his hand and said to the druid, "The royal family of Stormwind has always been Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I remember that my father told me this back then, I always thought it was a joke, but now it seems that my father is not telling a joke. ”

"That's when..."

"Bang!"

Before Lex could finish his words, the royal carriage they were riding in was completely flipped into the air, and in the wave of gunpowder, as if pushed from the ground by an invisible hand, the four horses of the same suit were blown to pieces at the moment of the explosion, and the flesh and blood were all over the remote lanes of the Elwyn Forest in an instant.

The royal knights who accompanied them immediately drew their weapons and shouted quickly to form a defensive formation, while several commanders ran to the carriage that had been thrown to the side of the road.

This is not a luxurious car, but it is the hand of a magician in Dalaran, and such an explosion cannot destroy its structure, but the safety of His Royal Highness is above all else!

So the captain of the royal guard took out the fireworks for help, and as soon as he lit them, the red fireworks flew to a distance of more than ten meters, and they were cut into four pieces by a shadow that came out of the forest, and the shadow fell to the ground one by one, and then whistled.

The next moment, more dark shadows emerged from the forest where they were hiding, tangled with the royal knights.

Dressed in black leather armor and covered with black strips of cloth over their faces, they did not say a word, fought with daggers or short swords, and fought with ruthlessness, apparently accustomed to such things.

In the overturned carriage, the green thorn vines filled the entire space, Lex was a new star of the Cenarion Council, and he protected Anduin well with the most direct method at the critical moment, and the little prince was only a little dizzy because of the vibration of the carriage and did not suffer any damage.

The sound of fighting outside the carriage and the smell of blood made Lex's face extremely cold, he retracted the vines, and then kicked open the closed gate of the carriage, and the black-armored assassins who rushed towards him were directly strangled in the air by the thorny vines that rose from the ground, and the angry druid no longer showed mercy in this situation, he turned into a black nightblade leopard and disappeared in place, in less than half a minute, all the 5 assassins besieging the carriage were stabbed to death from behind with highly poisonous claws.

"Anduin, follow me, we're going to break through!"

Lex, who still had blood on his hands, stretched out his hand to the little prince, who was holding the long and short sword tightly, and the latter grabbed his hand and said quickly,

"To the northeast, there is a fortress there, the West Spring Fortress, and the soldiers stationed there are trustworthy!"

Lex grabbed the little prince's body with both hands, and quickly took two steps forward, and the whole person was in the green mist, turning into a storm crow, grabbing Anduin's body and flying into the sky.

But the moment he flew into the air, a slender figure of almost transparency appeared behind him, it was a petite, wild female orc, with two quaint and hideous daggers in her hand slashing across the wings of the storm raven, and then disappeared into the air.

Lex let out a cry of pain, unable to maintain the form of the Storm Raven any longer, and after taking human form, he took Anduin in his arms and fell diagonally to the ground, and finally hit a thick tree trunk, and the little prince let out a cry of pain, and when he landed, his leg was still injured.

"Let's go!"

The druid, whose blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, leaned against the trunk of the tree and pushed Anduin into the woods with difficulty, "Their target is you! Hurry up, don't go to Westspring Fortress! There are spies inside Stormwind, find a way to go back to Theramore!"

Looking at the miserable druid, Anduin gritted his teeth, and then limped into the forest with the sheathed longsword in his hand, and after a few seconds, Lex stood up against the trunk of the tree, and plunged the staff in his hand into the ground, and the thorns spread through the forest, quickly entangled Anduin in the way he left.

"I said, I let you live, shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

A hoarse voice rang out behind the druid, and it was filled with something weird... Impatient, "It's annoying enough to deal with these cult maniacs, so if I were you, I would obediently let go of the road, what is your relationship with that little cutie? Is it worth your life for him?"

Lex didn't answer, he knew very well that this guy behind him, who was at least a hero, didn't need his answer, it was just a trick of a cat and a mouse.

On the other side, Anduin struggled through the trees of the Elwyn Forest, the injury on his leg was not serious, but the continuous oozing of blood had made him feel a little numb, and the little prince could only use the holy light to treat his leg injury while running, fortunately Anvena taught him the flash of the holy light, otherwise he would not have survived now.

Although Anduin was a little panicked before, he has completely calmed down now, Lex is right, his whereabouts are top secret, there must be something wrong inside Stormwind, that city is no longer safe, but he can't go back to Theramore alone, he has to go to another place!

Karazan!

There, where he could contact the Mentor and the people of Theramore, and he knew that his good friend Median had set up a point of contact in Nightland after taking control of Karazhan, so he only had to go through the Elwyn Forest, wade through the River Lelinya, and find a way to get to Nighttown, and he would be completely safe.

But to be honest, Anduin didn't know if he could make it, and his hopes were too slim.

Ten minutes later, just as Anduin finally crossed the forest and reached the riverbank, a chain burst out of the darkness behind him and tied up the running little prince like a poisonous snake, which caught Anduin off balance and fell to the riverbank in embarrassment.

Then he saw the face he had known for a long time.

"Oh, Anduin, cutie, from the look in your eyes, I know, you know me, don't you?"

"Garona, you bastard who assassinated my grandfather!"

Facing the little prince who blew up like a lion, the orc female assassin shrugged her shoulders, "Feel free to scold as you want, cutie, but you'd better restrain yourself, the next guys don't have as good tempers as I do." ”

After saying that, Galona mentioned Anduin and was about to leave, but at this moment, the voice of a little girl reached the ears of two people.

"Look, Uncle Chen, that kid has been captured!"
