After waiting for a while, no enemy rushed over, the shouting and killing in the castle gradually weakened, and soon became inaudible, and several fire points gradually disappeared from the billowing smoke, I don't know whether they were extinguished or burned down the surrounding houses. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info quickly, several knights returned to report the results of the battle to Uther.

From the information returned from his subordinates, Uther learned that the number of inhabitants of the castle was small, less than fifteen hundred, and the number of soldiers was even smaller, just over one hundred and twenty, and that they had all been disarmed. The only minor trouble was that there were still more than a hundred "syndicates" in the castle, dressed in the same way as the group of people who had besieged Mage Sain just now, and the royal guards had fought fiercely with them, and now they had wiped out all of them.

Arthas interjected, "What about our men, what about the casualties?" and one of the guards quickly replied, "Under the protection of King Terenus, only two were slightly wounded. Arthas nodded, but the frost sorrow behind him snickered and said, "It's funny, what does this have to do with your father's protection!"

Arthas ignored her, and instead said to Uther, "How can there be so few soldiers here?" Uther also felt that something was wrong, and asked Aiden, "Where are the soldiers of Alterac Castle?" Uther was a little suspicious that the missing soldiers had been killed by this mad traitor.

However, Aiden's answer relieved Uther: "I ...... I've sent three hundred men to guard the Broken Ridge Fortress. Uther asked, somewhat confused, "Didn't you surrender to the orcs, how could you strengthen the guards of Shattered Ridge?" Aiden explained, "This matter...... I didn't dare let anyone know, and I wasn't sure that the soldiers were on my side, so I sent them all to Broken Ridge. ”

Uther then understood, but he also despised this traitor even more, who was usually cowardly as a mouse, calculating such a thing as betraying his own countrymen, and working so hard. Arthas was more concerned about military affairs, and he asked out loud, "How many people are there in the Broken Ridge Fortress now, and who is the leader?"

Aiden glanced up at the little hairy boy on the horse, he didn't know who he was, but he didn't care too much, and honestly explained: "There are about a thousand soldiers in Broken Ridge now, and it is my son Eliton who leads them. Wryon counted with his fingers on the side, feeling a little incredulous - my God, there were only fifteen hundred soldiers, less than 10,000 people, and even if Stormwind was destroyed, there would still be tens of thousands of troops who had followed Teacher Lothar and the archbishop to the north.

Uther frowned and asked, "Your son, did he participate in the betrayal of the Alliance" Aiden shook his head and said, "It was because he was so strongly opposed to this matter that I sent him to the Broken Ridge Fortress." Wryon said on the side, "It seems that this Eliton is a good man?"

Arthas is having an awkward fight with Frost Sorrow, who often ignores her, and Frost Sorrow is a little angry, and is secretly tearing Arthas's cheek with her hand, making Arthas's expression look extremely distorted, as if he is grimacing. Arthas communicated with Frost Grief on the soul level, promising to compensate her in private, and at the same time analyzed to Wryn: "This is not necessarily. According to Aiden, his son knew his whole plan, and he still had most of the weapons in Alterac Castle, but he did not stop his father's actions, nor did he report to the other Confederate kingdoms, and I think his intentions are suspicious. ”

Uther nodded, acknowledging that Arthas's words were reasonable, and said: "What the Prince of Arthas said is not wrong, we can't take this part of the army lightly, but our current strength is too weak, and we may not be able to capture the Broken Ridge Fortress. If the follow-up people had come, maybe Aliton would have known what was going on here, but he didn't know what was going to happen at that time. Do you have any suggestions, Prince Alsace?"

Although the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand was brave and good at fighting, Uther was really not sure that he would attack the fortress of Broken Ridge with a thousand soldiers stationed in the gorge with five hundred cavalry. Arthas thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can take advantage of Aiden?"

Seeing that the young prince really had a countermeasure, Uther hurriedly asked, "How to use it?" Arthas straightened out his thoughts and said his own solution. Uther thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!" and then ordered the guards on the side: "Gather the royal guards, gather a hundred people, change into the clothes of that group of masked men, and go with me to the fortress of Broken Ridge." The others stayed, keeping an eye on the captives and keeping the Prince of Arthas safe. After sending a small team, inform the arriving team to speed up, and then pass the news back to Lordaeron about what is happening here. ”

The guards received orders and were about to leave when Arthas cried out: "Look in the castle and see if there are any griffons and messengers from Lordaeron." If he finds it, tell him to ride the griffon back to deliver the letter, which will be faster. The guards received the order and departed as fast as they could. After a while, with a crisp hiss, a huge monster with the head of an eagle and a lion body and two wings flew up from the city wall and flew northwest.

Arthas looked up at the griffon's vanishing shadow into the sky, mocked Aiden and said, "Let me guess, though I don't know what the Courier found and let you capture him." But you didn't kill him, it seems that you wanted to keep this griffin for yourself?" and shook his head—although it takes a lot of money to raise a griffin and a flying courier, it is shabby that such a man cannot afford to raise even a griffin, and that such a man calls himself a king.

Soon, Uther gathered a group of men dressed as masked bandits and pressed Aiden in the direction of the Broken Ridge Fortress. Fearing that the flaws would be seen, Uther ordered his men not only to replace them with "syndicate" weapons, but also to leave their horses at Alterac Castle - as can be seen from Aiden's mounts, it is impossible for his barren territory to muster more than a hundred fine horses.

Originally, Arthas wanted to go with Uther, but this time the mission was too dangerous for Uther to dare to let him go with him, and Arthas's size was too small and easy to be exposed in the crowd, so Uther only took the eager Urrynn, and left Arthas at Alterac Castle. Seeing the triumphant appearance of Uryon on his horse, Arthas felt a little jealous of his goofy friend for the first time. However, he quickly let go of his worries and turned to find the magic teleportation circle that Dalaran's mages had set up after they arrived at Alterac Castle according to Mage Sain—and if he could get that thing to work again, he could get in touch with Dalaran.
