At the end of June of the 20th year of the Dark Gate, Arthas 'returned triumphantly', and he was welcomed by the whole country for killing the Demon Lord. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Smith's Bakery.

"How's it going?" Benny was a little anxious, Alsace was about to enter the city, and he could already hear the loud cheers at the gates.

"I'm done here, what about the Whisper Coast?" Kearns Allen's face was tired, 13 days to prepare magic materials to draw a large portal base town, the time was too short.

"Contact Gianna."

"I'm here, Pastor Smith." The blue light flashed away, and Gianna appeared in front of Benny.

"Ma'am." Benny frowned. "You should be on the Whispering Coast by now."

"Don't worry, there are 15 mages out there, and everything is ready to go. I -----" Gianna stopped talking, her voice trembling a little. "I want to see if what you and Medivan say is true, and I still can't believe that Arthas will become what you say!"

"All right, ma'am." Benny sighed. "You can also have more strength, I only have one request, follow me, don't act rashly. And don't even go to the royal palace. ”

Gianna nodded, "I will." ”

"Lord Kearns, I'll let you know when the portal will open with a communication crystal. At that time, Redpass will directly demolish the house, but don't worry, the house has already been remodeled and will not collapse directly. Benny turned his head and looked at Elsa, who was very upset. And you! You're honest with me this time, do you hear me? ”

"Got it!" Elsa lowered her head, her eyes rolling.

"Let's go, ma'am."

――――

Benny and Gianna made their way through the revelry crowd to a baron's mansion not far from the palace, which had been 'recruited' by Dawnlight three days earlier as a temporary base.

Walking into the room, the living room was full of people.

"Croford, how's the preparation?"

"It's all set! You may need to give them some 'mobilization' though. ”

Benny sighed and walked to the center of the room, he looked around at the paladins who packed the room: "I know, you don't believe me, if it weren't for His Excellency the Lightbringer, you wouldn't have joined the 'Dawn Light'. You have been wondering what we are doing for what we are doing, and I tell you now, to save our people. ”

The paladins were talking, and Benny waited for them to be quiet.

"I can't say too much to you, I swear in the name of the Light that everything we do is for Lordaeron. For the Light! ”

A middle-aged paladin stepped out of the crowd: "We believe in you for the time being, for the sake of the Light, for all that you have done in Stratholme. ”

"Thank you!"

――――

Inside the room on the second floor of the Baron's Palace.

"Lord Fran."

Fran nodded, signaling to Benny that he didn't need to be polite, "Benny, Lady Gianna." ”

"What about Lord Uther?"

Fran sighed, "I'm going to the palace." ”

Benny frowned: "Still haven't been able to convince him." ”

"No one could convince him!"

Benny nodded, ending the topic: "Everything is ready, the Whispering Coast is in charge of Stur Keynes, where there are 30 paladins and 200 soldiers, Lordaeron's teleportation array is in charge of Lord Kearns Allen, and Redpass is hiding nearby with 20 paladins and 100 soldiers. You've got it for the church, too. ”

Fran nodded: "What about Arthas?" How long is there to get to the palace. ”

Benny thought for a moment: "For two hours or so, the welcoming crowd will slow him down. ”

Farran stood up, "The rest is up to you, Benny." ”

"For the Light!"

――――

"Arthas has arrived. Are you all ready? ”

Standing in the attic of the Baron's Court, Benny could even see Arthas' white hair peeking out of his cloak.

"We're all ready, but if it's what you say, we may not have enough people." It seems that Croford knows more than the others.

Benny sighed: "120 paladins, 400 soldiers, evacuate hundreds of thousands of people, of course I don't know enough, I just hope that the other armies can react quickly after what happened." ”

"The reaction won't be too fast, the city is too crowded, and the news may be very closed." Croford sighed, this kind of environment, if something really happens, the loss is too great.

"Then we can only hope that the people sent to persuade them will succeed! But now, it's just us. Let's go, gather your men! ”

――――

"Arthas!" Uther squeezed out of the welcoming crowd.

"Mentor?" Arthas smiled a hint that was completely obscured by the hood.

"What's going on, Arthas." Uther's face was ugly, and he felt that something was wrong.

"I killed that demon, Mentor, and that's it. Now, can I talk to my father alone? ”

"Okay, but stop doing stupid things!" Uther nodded, and the king had commanded him, and he could only obey the order.

"I've never done anything stupid, Lightbringer! I killed that demon and proved my choice! Arthas's tone turned cold, and the hood made it impossible for Uther to read his expression.

He watched Arthas push open the huge door to the palace hall, and a strange feeling filled his heart, there must be something wrong.

Uther stood still, his mind a little confused, when suddenly the king's roar appeared in the hall, and he pushed the door open despite the guards' obstruction.

"Arthas!" Urther pushed the door in front of him in shock, the bloody crown falling to the ground, and the rune sword still stuck in the king's chest. He simply followed the king's orders to let him talk to his son alone. He didn't expect it to happen!

"Ah, dear teacher, are you here to witness all this?" Arthas turned his head, the runic sword flickering with cold light, and hunger and thirst reached Arthas's heart.

"You really ----" Uther's voice was hoarse, and he cried out in tears. "When you were a child, I thought you were childish. Your stubborn recklessness is what I understand to mean that young people are eager to step out of the shadow of their parents. In Stratholme---- Yes, the Light forgive me, and even after that---- I was praying that you would realize your misjudgment. I cannot be an enemy of the son of my lord. But what are you doing!? You actually killed your own father with your own hands!? ”

"The country is already decaying, it is vulnerable, I will inherit it, destroy it, and establish a new order on its ruins! Powerful Order! Alsace smiled, and there was a frenzy in his voice.

"You're crazy! Alsace! Uther's voice trembled. I will purify you! ”

"By the so-called Holy Light?" Arthas smiled disdainfully. "The Light is nothing, Lightbringer!"
