Diego didn't say anything more, but waited quietly, just looking at the appearance of the king and the duke, he knew that there must be some secret secret in this. If he could have known, then the king would have said it himself.

"As you might have guessed, the demons are supposed to be here for that." Sure enough, the king was silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Your Majesty......" Duke Berval stopped talking on the side, and it seemed that he also knew the secret.

The king stretched out his hand and stopped Berval's exhortation.

"An excellent weapon, the place where it should appear the most, should be a battlefield burning with blood and fire, not a treasure trove of nobles." He said with emotion, "And what we have is only a fragment of the Dragon King's Blade, and it is no longer likely to be reforged, so why don't we find a way to use it?" ”

With that, the king got up from his seat and walked out of the hall.

"Follow me." Behind him, the Duke of Berval also stood up tacitly and whispered to Diego.

Diego silently followed the King and the Duke, walked out of the East Ballroom, and walked in the direction of the fortress gates.

They got into a carriage without any signs at the gate and drove out of the palace. A squad of heavily armed royal guards rode horses and guarded the carriage.

By this time, the sky had darkened, and the streets of Stormwind were sparsely populated by pedestrians. Although the explosion that occurred in the palace today caused some panic among the residents, most of the people have dispersed under the pacification of the sheriffs. The carriage drove through the streets of Stormwind, speeding westward.

From time to time, the car passed by bridges large and small that spanned the canal, and the wide canal glowed silver in the light of Elune. Occasionally, a cargo ship passes by the river, shattering into sparkling waves.

Probably to shield the inside of the car, the velvet curtains in the windows have been drawn, and occasionally the light of street lamps shines through the gaps in the curtains, hitting the cold faces of several people, which looks extremely heavy.

The carriage traveled silently for about three quarters of an hour, and finally came to a halt in front of a closed gate. Diego noticed that this was the gate to the port area. Probably noticing the arrival of this carriage, the shouts of the guards on the tower of the city gate were heard: "The city gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of General Marcus!" If you want to go out, wait until dawn tomorrow! ”

A royal guard guarding at the front of the carriage greeted him, took out a royal badge, and handed it over: "Duke Berval has urgent business to leave the city!" Open the door now! ”

There was silence on the castle tower for a moment, and a faint whispering voice came. Immediately afterwards, with a "creaking" winch turning, the hoisting gate in the gatehouse was slowly pulled up.

The carriage began to move forward again. Sitting in the car, Diego could clearly sense that the car was going downhill, but after a while, the terrain had flattened out again.

Outside the car, the sound of waves came faintly from the west, but at the moment the dark clouds were just obscuring the moonlight, and it was pitch black, and Diego could only guess that they were driving in the port area.

The carriage headed north, and the road began to get rough. There was a windproof lantern hanging from the carriage, but its light could only shine a few dozen meters, but it must have been very close to the sea, because Diego heard the sound of the sea crashing against the reef, and it was almost in his ears, and he could even smell the salty smell of the sea in the air.

"Where is this?" Diego couldn't help but ask.

"You'll find out soon." Duke Boval said in a deep voice.

It was almost there, and just as he was talking, the carriage finally stopped. Diego opened the curtains and saw that they were on a narrow stretch of coast, with the undulating sea on the left and the steep mountains on the right, only thirty or forty yards in between.

At this moment, a group of soldiers in black armor suddenly emerged from the darkness like ghosts. Diego didn't even realize that there were so many people hiding in the low rock.

"What people!" The captain of the group walked up and asked in a low voice. And his soldiers were nervously on the alert, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The guard who was in front of the carriage met him again and showed the insignia, but the captain did not let them go, but came to the carriage with a lantern. Bolval opened the car door and walked down, volunteering to shine himself in the light.

The captain looked at it carefully for a long time, and his serious look almost made Diego wonder if he was going to grab Bolval's face and tear it off a few times. Thankfully, the captain didn't do it in the end.

After the examination, he slapped his chest vigorously and saluted, "Please forgive me for my offense to you, my lord!" You're ready to go! ”

Bolval nodded and patted the captain on the shoulder: "Well done, you are a good captain who is dutiful!" ”

The carriage began to move again, but every few hundred yards it stopped again for inspection, and then moved on again. On the mile-long coastline, they passed through more than a dozen light and dark checkpoints.

The security grew tighter, and when they finally reached the entrance to a fjord, the security was at its peak. A tall, heavy wall that separated the entire stretch of land from the foot of the mountain to the surface of the sea, less than fifty yards, stood on the wall three heavy bastions, and a large number of ballistae and dwarven artillery were deployed. Bucket-thick chains are attached between the walls on both sides of the fjord, blocking the entire surface of the water. In the far reaches of the fjord, Diego vaguely saw a destroyer.

The inspection here is also the most rigorous, and everyone has to check their identity. Not only Bolval and the royal guards, but also Varian and Diego were asked to get out of the car and be examined, but His Majesty did not take it seriously and obediently accepted the inspection. They spent half an hour here, and then sailed along the surface of the sea into the interior of the fjord, but after passing through the walls, the interior was less inspected. But the garrison in the fjord began to increase, and from time to time you could see all kinds of houses built at the foot of the hill, crossbowmen, artillerymen, shield guards, and pikemen stationed on the walls, and soldiers of all branches of the army coming and going. Diego also saw a company of heavily armed cavalry standing by a short distance within the city walls, ready for any eventuality.

Eventually, the carriage stopped at the end of the fjord, and Diego jumped out of it. His curiosity had been suppressed to the extreme, almost exploding.

In front of him was a steep, almost vertical cliff, the top of which sank into the dark night sky, and I don't know how high. A huge cavern was embedded in the rock face, both high and wide, more than fifty yards. At the bottom of the cave, the wide water surface leads directly into the cave, and even the largest warship of the Kingdom Navy, the Dreadnought, can be driven directly into it.

"Is this a dock?" Diego looked at the king with some surprise, then at the duke, and vaguely guessed what this place was.
