Chapter 31: Darkness Is Coming (Part II)

Spring, this was originally a season from cold to warm, when the natural plague had not yet spread, on the continent of Lordaeron, it was the time when the ice melted and everything recovered. However, in such a season, Ares and Gianna are awakened from their sleep, and the streets are filled with terrifying screams.

"What's going on?"

Gianna opened her hazy sleepy eyes, hugged Ares, and asked softly.

"I don't know, but I think we'd better get up as soon as possible and see what is going on."

Despite his reluctance to get up from Gianna's embrace, Ares had to get up. The noise in the streets has already shown that this is not a small matter.

Leaving the warm bed, Ares dressed in a simple shirt, went to the sink, took a sharp breath, and soaked his head in cold water to quickly sober himself up. Then he went to the hall and asked Hu Cong to help him put the armor on his body. This kind of full-body plate armor is very bulky, and although the protection performance is good, it can't keep up with it on your own. This is the reason why the knight lord generally needs to carry a servant with him.

It's not just a status symbol, it's also useful.

"What's going on out there?"

While it was time to put on the armor, Ares inquired about the situation.

"Terrible thing. The sound of the waves could be heard last night, but when they woke up this morning, fishermen at the beach found that the entire coastline was frozen. ”

The servant said, with surprise and disbelief in his tone. Obviously, he also wanted to see what was going on, but as a servant, he had to stay by Ares' side at all times.

"Freezing?"

Ares asked in surprise. Almost as soon as Hu Cong said such a sentence, Ares could already guess in his heart who could do such a thing.

"Yes, the whole beach, the whole sea, it's frozen. The ice is said to be very thick. ”

Hu replied.

"Okay, I got it."

As he spoke, Hu Cong had already put the plate armor on Ares's body, and it took more than half an hour to put on a complete set of equipment...... The weight is a fight with the weight of Ares's own body. Fortunately, the strength of the human race in Azeroth is generally good, otherwise, in the past, Ares guaranteed that with such a set of armor, let alone running, even walking would be a problem.

When Ares came in again, Gianna had already boiled a pot of porridge, and a hot white mist was coming out of the pot.

"My dear, an unfortunate piece of news - the sea is frozen."

Seeing Gianna scooping up the porridge and smelling the fragrance, Ares couldn't bear to interrupt her momentary sense of well-being. But this news has to be said again.

In the next second, Gianna's face immediately turned bad. What does it mean that the sea is frozen, and both of them know in their hearts that Dalin's fleet will not be able to enter the port...... This is their only reinforcement.

"Why did it freeze all of a sudden?"

Putting down the spoon, Gianna asked anxiously.

"It's not clear, you can still hear the waves last night. I'm guessing the Death Knights did it. ”

As he spoke, Ares took the wooden bowl and swallowed a few quick bites of porridge.

"How did they know about my father's fleet?"

Biting her lip, Gianna said resentfully. She wasn't worried about Daelin's fleet, Kurtila's Armada couldn't find an opponent on the ocean, Gianna was worried about how the Death Knights knew about Ares' plan. In the past, it was Ares who guessed the enemy's plan and waited for the opportunity to move, but now, the entire Scarlet Alliance is undoubtedly under the surveillance of the natural calamity.

"It's better to see from the air than from the sea."

"You mean they have long-range flying units?"

Gianna then asked. Things are sounding more and more terrifying......

"Hmm. Of course, don't be too pessimistic, my dear, this may just be my guess. ”

As he spoke, Ares placed his hand on Gianna's shoulder. A warm current gradually seeped into her body, this was Gianna's familiar breath, the temperature of the holy light. Whenever she felt pessimistic and hopeless, Ares always comforted her in this way and made her feel warm.

Two hours later, they arrived at the beach. As soon as I entered the port, a cold wind approached me.

Then, as they climbed to the top, the sight before them could hardly be described as spectacular. The blue sea froze, all frozen, turning into a white layer of ice, and even the waves were frozen into the shape of the tumbling waves. The white ice reflects the dazzling sunlight and makes it almost impossible to open your eyes.

"We're on our own!"

Looking at the white sea, Ares took a deep breath and said.

"Honey, you can still go now, use the teleportation spell to leave, you shouldn't be buried here. You are the princess of the kingdom of Kultiras, and Lordaeron's business is not your business. You don't have to be here, fighting a losing battle. ”

At the same time, Ares turned and spoke to Gianna in an affectionate tone. Although Ares knew that the little woman would not go. Just want to capture the old and indulge it, so that Gianna is moved. As a result, the innocent Gianna was once again calculated by Ares, and was moved to tears.

"Don't say it, you're still saying things like that......"

Her face was flushed, and in front of everyone, it was difficult to say those sensual love words. Just covered Ares's mouth and looked at Ares with affectionate eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say ......"

Gianna covered her mouth for a long time before Ares slowly broke her hand. Came back with a wicked smile.

"But we have to do something. If the Scourge is preparing a massive assault on the Scarlet Crusaders. ”

"Grand Prosecutor, I have a proposal."

Ares continued. He turned his gaze to Ethanlien.

"Say it."

Ethan Lien's expression was kind, and the archprosecutor in front of him seemed to be in stark contrast to the crazy man he was at the beginning. A whole winter of contemplation, reborn.

"The Scourge Legion's attack this time is by no means a simple raid, and their scale will be beyond all of our expectations, so in order to prevent a massive air attack, my opinion, make some models of artillery and place them in dangerous places, towers or walls. And the real heavy artillery, which was hidden with branches and forage. When the time comes, the Scourge Legion's surprise attack will inevitably begin from the air, and they will prioritize our weapons of long-range destruction. Use the model to entice them to attack, and when the Scourge air power strikes our 'artillery', the real artillery and ballista will fire in unison, blasting these undead creatures into the sky. ”

Standing in front of Ethanlien, Ares calmly spoke about his plan......
