As if to show the majesty of the lord and echo the threat of King Terenus, the royal guards of Lordaeron behind him drew their weapons one after another, and in front of the gate of Dunhold Castle under the double moon, the atmosphere became tense for a while. Several members of the Iron Horse Brotherhood www.biquge.info Pen "Fun" looked at Anduin Lothar in unison, waiting for his instructions, but they did not expect the situation to take a turn for the worse and become a little dramatic.

"Your Majesty!" King Terenus had just finished speaking, when a slightly obese soldier in rudimentary chain mail ran out of Dunhold Castle and came to King Terenus's horse, humbly bent down, and bowed to King Terenus almost ninety degrees.

The soldier's belly is not small, so it is very difficult to make such a move. Despite the seemingly non-threatening appearance, a royal guard of Lordaeron planned to step forward and keep the unknown soldier out of the way of the lord.

"Your Majesty the King, Captain Ruhr, a militia squad from the hills of Hillsbrad, salutes you. As if sensing the hostility of King Terenus's guards, the soldier revealed his identity.

Lordaeron's soldiers were divided into soldiers and militiamen, the soldiers usually wore standard plate armor and a robe embroidered with a double-headed eagle insignia on the chest, while the militia was equipped with a variety of equipment, and the chain mail worn by this soldier was indeed the attire of the militia squad leader.

"Hail to you too, my warrior, please keep your head up. King Terenus's tone was a little calmer - whether it was a soldier or a militiaman, even an ordinary farmer, if they took up arms to defend the land of Lordaeron, they deserved the respect of King Terenus.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Ruel, the leader of the militia, looked up excitedly at King Terenus's face, but he realized that his behavior was a bit rude and lowered his head slightly.

"Ruhl, are you the militia captain of Dunhold Castle? These Riptide Castle soldiers...... What the hell is going on?" Seeing the appearance of his subjects, King Terenus realized that things might be a little different from what he had speculated, and asked Ruhr.

"As you can see, Your Majesty King Terenus. I am the son of Solas Tolbane, Garin Tolbane. On my father's orders, I took my men from Riptide Castle to Dunhold Castle to help the lord hunt down the traitors who had colluded with the orcs. Before Ruel could speak, a heavily armed warrior with a blue headband stepped out of Dunhold Castle and stood not far from King Terenus's horse, bowing to him slightly.

"Garin?" King Terenus, who apparently knew the prince of Riptide, rolled over and dismounted, and stepped on the dirt road in front of Dunhold Castle with calfskin sewn boots to the prince of Garin.

Anduin Lothar and the others also turned over and dismounted, and on the one hand, the soldiers of Fort Rapids stepped forward and took the reins of their horses. Seeing that King Terenus had confirmed the identity of the other party, and the presence of Rul proved that there was indeed an inside story here, Lothar did not stop the actions of these Riptide Fort soldiers and came to King Terenus's side.

"Do you remember me?" Garin asked King Terenus with a laugh.

"Of course. King Terenus replied with a smile, and then introduced Prince Garin to Anduin Lothar and Varian's identities.

After hearing Anduin Lothar's name, Prince Garin's eyes clearly flashed with excitement, and while nodding to Anduin Lothar and Varian, he turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, "Your Majesty King Terenus, there are many things going on in Dunhold Castle, let's go to the council chamber and talk about it!"

King Terenus didn't care that Garin was putting on a master's posture on his territory, but said casually, "That's fine. With that, he took the lead and walked towards the interior of Dunhold Castle.

Although the previous Riptide Castle soldiers stood at the door with great fanfare and lit torches, the interior of Könhold Castle was already silent.

King Terenus, who stepped into the castle, saw a man with a disheveled hair and a wooden pole chained to a spear, and then stopped and said with some hesitation: "...... Blackmore?"

"Woo ......" Although the man seemed to be asleep before, when he heard the voice of King Terenus, he immediately raised his head and struggled violently.

But several spears tied together were driven deep into the ground, and the man's mouth was gagged with a mass of rags, so that he could only make a muffled sound.

King Terenus's expression became serious, and he turned to look at Prince Garin, and said with some anger: "Prince Garin, didn't you say that you came to help Blackmore arrest the traitor? Why did you imprison him instead? Since when did Riptide Castle have the authority to deal with lords for Lordaeron?"

King Terenus knew Blackmore, a lord whose family originally lived in the hills of Hillsbrad, and was a prominent family that was related to the royal families of many kingdoms.

However, during the invasion of the Hillsbrad Hills by the Kingdom of Gilneth years ago, Blackmore's father was stripped of his territory for treason, and then sent to a remote post on the border by King Terenus.

Although the relationship with the Blackmore family was not harmonious, King Terenus, as the lord of Blackmore, naturally could not watch the nobles who were vassals of him receive such treatment.

At the signal of King Terenus, several of the royal guards of Lordaeron drew their weapons from the scabbards that had been withdrawn from their waists and faced Garin Thorbain in a defensive posture, while one of the royal guards of Lordaeron wanted to come to Blackmore's side and free the embarrassed lord.

"Ah...... The ......" Prince Garin didn't care about the blades that were faintly pointing at him, but summoned the royal guard of Lordaeron who wanted to liberate Blackmore, and then explained to King Terenus: "Your Majesty King Terenus, Blackmore is trapped here...... It was your son, the Prince of Alsace, who made the decision. ”

"Arthas?" King Terenus was stunned for a moment, beckoning to the royal guard of Lordaeron, and then turned his gaze to Garin, waiting for his explanation.

Varian moved faster, he took a step up to Prince Garin, grabbed his arm, and said eagerly and loudly, "Have you seen Arthas? How is he? There is no danger, is he?"

Varian used a lot of force, and Garin's strong body was pulled and shook by him. With Varian's expectant eyes and King Terenus's slightly worried gaze, Garin Torbairn truthfully recounted his encounter with Arthas and the whereabouts of the Prince of Lordaeron: "Prince Arthas has left here and gone to the fortress of Dammod. Although it was Blackmore who initially sent my father a plea for help, and I was sent here to assist him in the hunt for the traitor, when the Prince of Alsace arrived, he found out that ......"
