Chapter 102: Varian's Trap
"King Varian wants to invite the three of you to Stormwind Fortress, and the King will personally reward you for being heroes in the crusade against the Lich King." The leader of a soldier came out and spoke.
"Tirio shouldn't have told you, we'll be back with him today. How did you know we were back today? Wu Ming asked disdainfully.
"It's not a big deal, this ship is from Stormwind, so everyone on board has a record, even if Lord Fording doesn't say it, we know it." The little leader replied, "Please come with us to Stormstorm Fortress, and don't let His Majesty wait in a hurry." He said
Wave the soldiers in two columns, making way to Stormwind Fortress.
"It turned out that we were welcomed, and I thought we had done something bad and you were going to arrest us." Bai Lu patted his chest and said, if it was usual, Wu Ming would be happy to enjoy this kind of shaking picture, but now he is not in the mood, now Bai Lu is the Lich King
Varian should already know about it.
"Looks like we're going to have to go." Wu Ming could only follow the route formed by the soldiers to the Storm Fortress.
Although Wu Ming had taken a series of precautions again and again before this, he still underestimated MI7 in Stormwind City, although from the burning expedition to the fission of the earth, they did not know the enemy's actions in advance, every time
The alliance was caught off guard, but they adhered to the fine tradition of outsiders in foreign wars and insiders in civil wars, as long as they could receive accurate information about their own side, just like the revolution of the Masons' Guild led by Van Cleve, MI7 received them immediately
Intelligence, this time Wu Ming's intelligence is the same.
"Mr. Wu Ming, it's been a long time." As soon as Varian saw Wu Ming, he walked over and greeted him warmly, but his eyes looked at Bai Lu from time to time, of course, Varian was not a womanizer, and it was absolutely impossible for him to affect his judgment because of these things, let alone white
Lu's appearance is not very pretty, but only average.
The reason for this is that because of Bai Lu's current identity, she is now the Lich King, even if she is not very strong now, but she already has the qualifications to win the ranks of the strongest in Azeroth. This is also Wu Ming's reluctance to let Varian know that Bai Lu is a lich
The reason for the king, as an excellent king, attaches more importance to Bai Lu than even surpasses that of Wu Ming, a powerful mage, and may fall into endless trouble in the future because of this.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this, those soldiers who are fighting on the front line deserve your commendation more than us." Wu Ming said tepidly.
"How can you say that. You're heroes who fight Arces directly, as you should. Varian patted Wu Ming on the shoulder and said like an old friend.
"Well, can you hurry? We're going to visit Stormwind. Because Wu Ming and Eve didn't have time to explain the current situation to Bai Lu, she didn't know how strict the current situation was.
"It's okay, it's okay to play however you want in the future, just accept my gift first." Varian motioned for a few of his attendants to bring something in.
"This is," Bai Lu put the silk covering the things that the squire was holding, and found that they were several rings, "what kind of ring is this, and there are no magic fluctuations." ”
"This is a token of the nobility of Stormwind, and from now on, I, Varian Ureon, declare that I will canonize Wu Ming and Bai Lu as the dukes of Stormwind and Eve as the marquis." Varian announced loudly.
This is completely a fool, during the burning expedition, Mavi Shadowsong and Akama were not the same as when they attacked the Dark Temple and crusaded against Illidan, how could they not see any rewards, it is obvious that Varian's approach is not reasonable at all, more
To be precise, it is clear that there is a conspiracy. Although Varian canonized Wu Ming and them as nobles, he didn't mention the fief at all, as long as he was a nobleman, he would definitely have a fief of his own, but although Wu Ming and Bai Lu were the highest-ranking dukes, they didn't get the fief, so, so
The canonization is just acting, Wu Ming and they have the name of nobility but no real power, although Wu Ming and they don't care, but this practice is obviously to tie them to the alliance completely, so that they can be controlled by him, which has touched Wu Ming's bottom line.
"Don't." Bai Lu thought for a moment and refused, "I heard Boval say that if you become a nobleman, you can't just go around, and I still want to go to Orgrimmar to play." Bai Lu was completely unaware that Varian's face was getting worse and worse, and she said to herself with peace of mind
own plan.
"yes, we're not interested in any of that." Eve also refused.
"Eve" Wu Ming glanced at Eve, and it seemed that the current situation was completely out of his control.
"Then I now determine as the king of Stormwind that Wu Ming, Eve, and Bai Lu are suspected of treason, and now they will be arrested immediately." Varian pulled down his face and said, and the friendly tone just now was completely different from the two of them, along with Varian's words, all of the Stormstorm Fortress
The entrances were sealed, and hundreds of guards of various professions came out one after another, among which the paladins and priests were nearly half, and it was obvious that they were specially used to deal with Bai Lu, the Lich King. And this number of guards is by no means something that can be summoned temporarily, only
It was ambushed in Stormstorm Fortress from the beginning.
MI7 in Stormwind had already reported to Varian about the crusade against the Lich King when they returned to Dalaran, and although the details were not very clear, most of the important parts were known to Varian, such as Bai Lu's successor to the Lich King, Wu Ming
In the course of her fight against Artes, she used a spell that was enough to make the entire Icecrown Fortress disappear, and Eve overtook all the undead disasters at once.
After receiving the information from MI7, Varian has already set out to deal with Wu Ming and them, Wu Ming and Eve's strength is naturally needless to say, when they were learning magic in Stormwind City, Varian has already paid special attention to them, joining Silver Dawn and Scourge
After the Legion battle, Wu Ming and Eve's results were even more unexpected than he expected, so Varian initially tried to pull Wu Ming into the alliance by all means.
However, this qiē changed after Wu Ming returned from Icecrown Fortress, and the Lich King had already proved to the whole of Azeroth how strong his strength was, and in the battle of Icecrown Fortress, he forced Wu Ming, who was arguably the strongest mage in history, to use the power to make the whole thing
The technique of the disappearance of the Icecrown Fortress, and now Wu Ming is still weak, which shows how strong the Lich King's power is.
Now that Bai Lu has succeeded the Lich King, Wu Ming and Eve are weakened at the same time. Bai Lu's strength as the Lich King can be said to be only stronger than the average Death Knight, as long as there are two top priests or paladins to defeat her, but when her strength grows, it can reach a point that Varian can't imagine, so Varian set out to kill Wu Ming and Eve from the beginning, capture Bai Lu, make her a puppet, and get the help of the Scourge Legion, so that she will have an overwhelming advantage when facing the tribe, Just like back then, the Dragonthroat Orcs captured Alexstasa to produce dragon cubs to train dragon knights.
It can't be said that Varian is such a despicable villain, what he is doing now can be said to be all for the Alliance, now as Bai Lu's strongest protectors Wu Ming and Eve are very weak, as long as Bai Lu's Scourge Legion, the battle between the Alliance and the Horde can predict the results, if he succeeds, he will become a hero who ended the long war in Azeroth, whether it is public or private, Varian will deal with Wu Ming and them, as long as a person with enough political brains will do so.
"Varian, it's a waste of talent for you not to act." Looking at Varian's changing face, Wu Ming sighed.
"Ming, why did he do this, we didn't do anything bad." Bai Lu didn't know the reason, grabbed the corner of Wu Ming's clothes and asked.
"Varian, now that Stormstorm Fortress has been sealed by you, you don't have to continue acting." Wu Ming said, looking at Varian.
"Actually, if you were willing to accept those rewards, I wouldn't have to do it." Varian had drawn the sword he was wearing, he was also a warrior, and a half-world-class master, even stronger than Berval.
"Even if we accept those bounties, you'll find some other opportunities against us." Wu Ming cautiously paid attention to Varian's actions, now he was still in a weak state, at most he could exert the combat effectiveness of the national level, whether he could win Varian or not was still five or five, not to mention that there were at least dozens of masters around him who had reached the national level.
"Wu Ming, you haven't recovered to your peak state yet, surrender." Varian said domineeringly, "As long as you hand over the Lich King, I can guarantee that you and your sister will leave Stormwind safely." ”
"Although I, Wu Ming, am not a good person, and even worse than ordinary hooligans, I will never do one thing in my life, and that is to betray my companions." Wu Ming did not have the slightest fear, and said directly to Varian.
