Chapter 868: For Lordaeron
Dark clouds surged up in the sky, light and dark tones intertwined, as if the fate of the kingdom of Lordaeron were as blurry.
The news of the orc rebellion in the slave camp shattered the stability of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and the orcs of some large slave camps, including Dunhold, suddenly became berserk again, and with the assistance of foreign forces, broke the cage and escaped, one of which even killed Blackmore, the leader of Dunhold's garrison, under the leadership of an orc slave fighter.
Even more terrifying, one of the most violent teams of greenskinned orcs, led by a powerful orc Juggernaut, is attacking Steinbrad, the northern powerhouse of Lordaeron.
As a king who had experienced the Orc War, Terenus II did not hesitate to make the decision to use force to suppress it, sending two of the best paladins in the kingdom, Uther and Tirio? Fordin led some of the elite of the Silver Hand Knights to fight in the north of the kingdom.
In this case, the young prince, who vowed to protect the kingdom, took the initiative to stand up, which was his responsibility as a prince and an opportunity to prove himself.
Tyrenus II would not pass up this opportunity to help his son establish his prestige and gain respect. But he made a prudent decision to ask the prince to assist Uther, the commander of the army, rather than replace him.
But it must be admitted that for a young man with extremely high aspirations and a noble status, humility is a very difficult virtue to possess.
Alsace, in particular, has the impulsive and radical side of all youth, while the senile Uther can be described as conservative.
When Alsace and Darien? Mograine led the Prince's Guard, followed by Uther, and arrived at Steinbrad, when the young prince felt the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time.
Stannbrad had not fallen, but it had been caught in the middle of the war, and a large number of furious orcs had rushed into the city. Burning, killing and looting are all evil, countless civilians are slaughtered to the ground, and the heroic human soldiers, despite being absolutely inferior in numbers and combat effectiveness, are fighting to the death!
The burning city, the piles of corpses, the blood that flowed, the evil and ugly orcs all made Arthas and Darian feel sick and even vomited when they first entered the battlefield, no matter how rigorous they were trained. For the brutal battlefield, it is an out-and-out rookie.
"Protect the Prince!"
When the battle began, Tirio? Fordin reminded the prince's guards that they were all true elites who had participated in the orc war, and in the face of the onslaught of the orcs, they used the ring array to protect the prince and the two in the middle, and Arthas, who had sworn to protect the people, inevitably became a burden.
War always requires a process of adaptation, let alone the flowers that grow in greenhouses like Alsace.
Follow the mighty Silver Hand Knights. Arthas's face was pale, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, as well as the stench of burning corpses, especially where he had walked. There were also a large number of soldiers of the Knights of the Silver Hand and his guards, and these vivid lives disappeared before his eyes.
The brutality of the war completely exceeded Alsace's expectations.
A formidable warrior who has not been tested as a future leader. In the face of this situation, it is necessary to either retreat forever or rise to the occasion.
What choice will Alsace make?
Look at the pale face on the screen. The prince who occasionally covers his mouth and nose, the emir feels that this is a real person, he can be fearful and cowardly, like most people in this world, and he will fall into a momentary confusion in the face of a scene that he has never experienced.
Only this kind of Arthas makes him feel reasonable, if the film is according to the game's setting, Arthas is thrown into the fierce and cruel battle without any obstacles, then the character presented on the big screen is not a flesh-and-blood character at all, just a cold NPC.
It is clear that the young prince needs a stimulus to turn his fear into the courage to fight.
The human forces made their way into the central square of Steinbrad, Arthas saw the corpses of countless of his compatriots along the way, and his hand holding the power of Minechr grew tighter and tighter, and he thought of the oath he had made when he took the hammer!
As they fended off the edge of the square, the orcs and the remnants of the humans were in a scuffle, and the humans who saw the arrival of reinforcements let out a burst of cheers, and along with the cheers, there were many screams of pain before the death of the humans!
The sounds stung Arthas like needles, and his people fell one after another to the orcs' butcher's knives.
"Prince...... It's the Prince of Alsace! ”
Someone spotted Alsace's Cunzài and immediately shouted, "Your Royal Highness has come to our rescue!" ”
"Arthas!"
"Arthas!"
The jumble of voices gradually merged into one place, turning into battle cries as they hoped for the light of hope for the future of the kingdom.
However, the prince they chanted was always hiding under the layers of protection of the army.
"Ah......h
From time to time, the howls of mankind will be heard.
"Arthas! Alsace! ”
His name has become a battle cry.
Holding the hammer tightly, Arthas's heart beat faster, he knew that he was the hope of all, the hope of the kingdom of Lordaeron, the hope of the Alliance, he could not and could not disappoint, he vowed to protect the people and the kingdom he loved.
"Darian!"
The prince's eyes were no longer cowardly, and his handsome face gradually became full of determination, and he looked at his friend and the captain of the guard, "Remember our oath?" ”
"Yes!" Darian? Mograini also looked at him firmly, "Yes! ”
Arthas's head was slowly raised and looked straight at the battlefield ahead, he no longer shied away from the cruelty and bloodshed of the battle, he looked at his people, at the land he loved, at the kingdom of Lordaeron, and then held high the power of Minehir in his right hand.
"For Lordaeron!"
The prince's voice was resolute and firm, he separated the guards, rushed out, and rushed to the battlefield!
"For Lordaeron!"
Darian? Mograini followed him with elite warriors.
"For Lordaeron!"
The slogan quickly spread to every corner of the battlefield, and all humans were shouting, "For Lordaeron!" ”
The young prince, though lacking real combat experience, possessed great strength and excellent fighting skills, and his warhammer was like the scythe of death, always bringing the result he wanted with every blow.
The power of the Light flashed above the power of Minethil, and Arthas shattered the shields and armor of the orcs, smashed the blood-dripping weapons of the orcs, wrung off their filthy heads, and saved a large number of humans from their slaughter.
Above all, Alsace boosted the morale of humanity.
The battle is over, Stannbride is scarred, and the human army has completely annihilated the orc forces.
"Arthas!"
I don't know who started it, but the name sounded throughout the square, "Arthas!" Alsace ......"
Both civilians and the military embraced their prince from the bottom of their hearts.
"Well done, young man!"
Even Uther and Tirio? Foding was full of praise for him.
At this moment, Arthas is the true hero of the kingdom of Lordaeron, his heart is full of light and love, and at the same time, it is inevitable that some young people are proud, thinking that his powerful power of holy light can protect his kingdom and people.
The orc attack is not over, and the group of orcs who left earlier have abducted many of the residents of Steinbrad, and how to rescue them has become a top priority.
"What about those who have been captured by the orcs?" A little boy asks when Arthas goes to visit the surviving civilians.
The young prince bowed his head and said to the child in that gentle and firm tone, "Don't worry, my children, I will take them home, and the Light will guide our path." ”
There was not a trace of aristocratic pride or warrior arrogance in his voice, only a selfless love for the people. At this time, Alsace was a noble prince who loved his people like a son and was full of blood. He loved his people, he loved his country, and his heart was as Uther said, with only light and love, and he believed that the Light could do everything.
Uther and Arthas disagreed over how to free the abducted human inhabitants.
Uther, who had become a conservative man, thought that he should first send someone to negotiate for a peaceful solution to the incident; And Alsace doesn't think so.
"Every moment of delay in our actions increases their danger, the orcs are filthy beasts without honor and credit, and their promises are not worthy of our trust!"
"Arthas, your kind of thinking is dangerous!"
Tirio? "Race is not glory, I've seen the noblest orcs, and I've seen the most despicable humans. ”
Unable to reach a consensus, Uther overpowered Arthas in the name of commander-in-chief, and the arrogant young prince inevitably thought his mentor was too pedantic and conservative.
"After all, he is a flower that blooms in a greenhouse."
Seeing this, many viewers will inevitably have such a feeling in their hearts, although the film does not have a particularly clear explanation, but all kinds of signs have shown that once Alsace embarks on this road of rescue, then he has embarked on an extremely dangerous path.
Circumstances can affect people, but the path is always your choice, and at dawn the next day, Arthas and his loyal guards secretly leave Steinbrad and embark on a journey to rescue the kidnapped people.
Faith in the Light gave Arthas enough confidence that he would be able to save the civilians who had been taken captive.
The bright sun is finally obscured by dark clouds, and the darkened tones of the film, like the road ahead in Alsace, are full of coldness and despair. (To be continued......)
