Why did you stay here with me for so long......"

Gianna nodded hurriedly, and then said to Wen Lesa with some apologies.

"Hmph, useless guy, if Xiaoshuang comes, this magic array can be completed in a few minutes!"

Frost Sorrow began taunting Gianna at no time.

"Yes...... Is that so?"

Gianna was startled by Frost's sad words, and immediately strengthened her confidence that she would still work hard—if what Frost said was true...... Then she still has a long way to go before she can catch up with her talent in spells!

"Don't listen to Xiaoshuang's nonsense, how can she be ...... such a thing"

Arthas smiled as he debunked Frost Sorrow's lie and said to Gianna.

"Okay, now that this magic circle is also complete, Gianna, are those Dalaran mages going to start teleporting to this side?"

Sylvanas glanced at the magic teleportation array in the basement and asked.

"Tomorrow at the earliest...... I've already sent a reply to Dalaran through a spell, but it will take some time for the teleportation array over there to connect with this side. ”

Gianna explained.

"Then let's have dinner first, I hope it won't be as ...... as lunch."

Before Arthas could finish his sentence, he suddenly paused.

"Whew~"

A clear howl came through the skylight in the basement, and the sound seemed to have a magical power that made everyone who heard it tremble.

"What's the sound?wolf?"

Arthas said to himself with a frown.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, you need to take a look at this!"

At this moment, the local garrison, Prinval, ran quickly to the door of the basement, hurriedly saluted Arthas, and then spoke hurriedly.

"Where?"

Arthas asked, following Prynnval briskly out of the basement.

"Arthas, wait for us!"

Seeing this, Wen Lesa hurriedly pulled Gianna and hurriedly followed Arthas.

"Aren't you going?"

Sylvanas glanced at Frost Sorrow, who was standing in place, and asked a little strangely—in her impression, Arthas, the mysterious fiancée, had always followed him every step of the way, but now she didn't know why she was standing in the basement in a daze.

"Strange...... How could Xiaoshuang's stuff be left here...... Strange ......"

Frost Sorrow glanced at Sylvanas, her eyes full of confusion, then shook her head, ignoring her, muttering to herself as she walked out of the basement.

Sylvanas ate a soft nail, but there was no way to get angry, so he could only stomp his foot, and because he was worried about his sister, he hurriedly followed.

Walking behind Prinnval towards the walls of the castle, Arthas noticed that the courtyard was already filled with militia from the kingdom of Lordaeron.

Dressed in chain mail and armed with spears and torches, the militia looked like they were facing a great enemy.

"What the hell is going on?"

Arthas asked as he walked.

"Outside, there seem to be wolves. ”

Prinval led Alsace up to the walls of the castle, the drawbridge had been raised, the gates were closed, and the heavily armed militia was distributed at the head of the city, vigilantly watching the movement outside the city.

"Woo~Woo~"

Standing on the city wall, the wolf howl, which was faint before the sound, became clear, as if the entire castle had been surrounded.

"There are still wolves in the Silver Pine Forest?"

Arthas asked, somewhat puzzled—if he's not mistaken, Lordaeron's army had been clearing the Silverpine Forest of ferocious beasts since his grandfather's reign—something that was necessary to keep the lumberyards and farms safe.

"No, I've been guarding here for almost a decade and I've never seen a pack of wolves. ”

Prinnwal replied.

"Extinguish the torch. ”

Arthas thought for a moment with a frown, then ordered.

"Extinguish the torch, quick, extinguish the torch!"

Stunned for a moment, Prinnwal, although he was puzzled, still ordered his subordinates according to Arthas's words.

Soon, the militia at the head of the city extinguished their torches, and the whole castle dimmed, but in this way, the situation outside the castle gradually became visible.

"Arthas, what's going on?"

Winresa asked as she ran up the wall with Gianna in her arms, panting.

"Anyway, it's not a good thing......"

Arthas replied in a low voice.

"Yikes!"

Gianna gasped as she looked under the walls, and without the need for a spell that could see farsightedness, she saw the somewhat frightening sight.

On the periphery of the castle, probably in the dense jungle, a little green light appears and disappears, like a ghostly fire from the abyss.

"What's that, a beast, a wolf?"

Prinval asked, surprised.

"It's not a wolf, it's not that tall...... Whatever it was, it should have been a good deed done by the mage of the kingdom of Gilneis. Gianna, do you know what this summoning spell is?"

Arthas shook his head, dismissed Prinnval's speculation, and asked Gianna.

"I don't know, I don't know much about summoning spells......"

Gianna said apologetically.

"It would be nice to be able to light up the outside......"

Prinnval shook his head and muttered.

"It's simple. ”

Gianna nodded, stretched her hand into the air, and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

A simple spell, Gianna condensed into a shining ball of light with arcane power, and then controlled it to float slowly towards the outside of the castle.

There was a soft "snort", and just as Gianna's ball of light was about to reach the edge of the woods, a fireball rushed out of the darkness and slammed into the ball of light.

With a "boom", a cloud of red and lilac flames burst into the night sky and then disappeared, but unfortunately, the light from the explosion did not illuminate the jungle.

"Mage, is it Arugao?"

After Gianna's orb of light was destroyed by an enemy with a spell, she naturally thought of the enemies she would be dealing with on this mission.

"What a shit, look at me. ”

Not long after Frostmourn arrived on the walls, she happened to see Gianna's spell fail, which made her gloat and intend to show the hateful woman how far she was from her.

With Frostmourn's spell easily illuminating the nearby area, Arthas and the others were amazed to discover the secrets of the jungle in front of the castle.

"Am I dazzled? What are those things...... Gnolls?"

Gianna rubbed her eyes, then looked at her companions in confusion and asked.

"No, they're stronger than the Gnolls, and ......"

Arthas replied with a frown.

"Aside from the head, they look like humans. ”

Sylvanas continued—she had seen the troll's minions in Quel'Thalas' battles with the Troll Legion, the Gnolls were shorter and savage, and the monsters under the castle were ......

"In the ancient legend of Quel'Thalas, a long, long time ago, even before we appeared on this continent, there was a monster with a wolf's head and a human body that attacked us...... These guys look exactly as the legend says. ”

Sylvanas recalled and said to Arthas, she clenched the longbow in her hand, flipped her wrist lightly, and found three arrows from the quiver that never left her, and caught them between her fingers.

"Lord Prinval, you'll be left with all the defenses here. ”

Arthas said to the guard who was stunned beside him.

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace. ”

Prinnval replied loudly.

"Where is Baron Sivalen's family?"

Arthas asked.

"In their room, as soon as the howl of the wolves came, I sent a small group of militia to protect them. ”

Prynnwal replied.

"Good. ”

Arthas nodded, and continued to observe the movement below the castle.

In the jungle not far away, and among the low bushes on the edge of the jungle, there are countless things to see in Alsace?
