Chapter 137: The Return of the King (Part II)
"Get out of the way! Let them pass. ”
Suffering from his thoughts, General Marcus gave the order to let Varian and his party pass. However, the soldiers were clearly taken aback by such an order.
"But the general ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm the general of Stormwind, everything here, listen to me!"
Marcus yelled.
The soldiers lowered their spears, stood their shields on the ground, and scattered around Varian and Reginald.
"Go ahead, Reginald, for the Alliance."
"May the Light be with you."
Marcus turned to his old friend and said. At this moment, their eyes were full of tears, full of tragedy and grandeur. Yes, this moment, Marcus. Josenna chose to go against all the nobles of Stormwind, and chose to go against the king. For the sake of the alliance, a simple oath has inspired many brave people to fight one after another.
Valley of Heroes.
Finally, in the presence of the five Alliance Heroes, Ares and Varian proudly entered the city.
Once in the city, the six men split up in two groups, Reginald, Ares, and Jean rushed to the Grand Plaza of the Central Trade District, ready to launch a generous speech. Varian and his Arena Triangle make their way through the streets and alleys as they rage at the city's tallest building, the Stormwind Fortress. It used to be the place where King Varian handled government affairs and issued military orders. Now, he's going to take back everything that's rightfully his. Give the light back to his people.
Crowds pass by, and the dense medieval buildings stretch to the end of the eye. At this moment, Ares's heart was surging, and he had fantasized countless times about stepping into the real streets of Stormwind. Today, that wish has finally been fulfilled. As urgent as it was, there was hardly time to stop and linger.
"Brothers, sisters, all the citizens of Stormwind, I am the former Generalissimo of the Fifth Legion of Stormwind, Reginald. Windsol. That's right, the number one person in the wanted warrant that you can see on the streets. But listen to me. Our kingdom is experiencing the greatest catastrophe in history, a crisis, a man-made crisis. Evil Countess Catlana. Presto is using her extremely evil means to control Stormwind, and the nobles of Stormwind are in control......"
In the main square in the center of the trade area, Reginald stood on the cornerstone and spoke loudly. The crowd gradually gathered, some of their faces full of doubt, some of them full of awe, and some of them simply watched the excitement as spectators. But whoever it was, they all listened quietly to his speech.
Regardless, Reginald was once a revered hero, single-handedly leading the Fifth Legion to the Red Ridge Mountains and the Burning Plains to fight the orcs and remove the threat to the people of Stormwind. Even when he was arrested, many people still maintained awe and reverence for him.
And in order to prevent accidents, Ares and Jean stand next to the cornerstone, standing next to Reginald, in case of danger, they can protect the righteous marshal as soon as possible.
"Our kingdom was once glorious and incomparably powerful, and in Varian. Under the leadership of King Ureon, we have embarked on a path of self-reliance and prosperity. And since the Countess named Katrana came to Stormwind, everything has changed. The Council of Nobles began to refuse to pay the paycheckers and raise various tax rates, leading to a riot in Stormwind, where the stonemasons left the city and formed the Diafi Brotherhood, which entrenched itself in the Western Wilderness, causing turmoil in the kingdom. Once upon a time, Stormwind's guards were stationed in various parts of the kingdom to protect us from the threat of gnolls, to keep merchants safe and to defend against the evil trolls of the south, but now, all of this has changed, haven't you noticed? When Countess Catlana took power, everything changed in Stormwind. ”
Reginald's speech gradually won the approval of the crowd. Especially those low-level civilians who are overwhelmed by life. The words of the generalissimo reminded them of the good life they had. However, just as the populace was about to be mobilized, more Stormwind troops were arriving from all corners of the city.
"Marcus. General Jonathan, blatant disobedience to military orders, and now, he has been dismissed, take your men and arrest that man in the square! Send to jail! ”
In the Noble Council Chamber, Countess Katrana learned of what was happening in the city and issued an order on the spot. Ignoring the opinion of the Duke of Berval, who was sitting behind her. In fact, the bewitched Bolval had no opinion.
……
"Catch him! Traitor! ”
Two hours later, the Stormwind City Guard arrived at the main square of the Trade District where Reginald was speaking. Here, the crowd has gathered at least five or six thousand people. The guards surrounded Reginade from the perimeter. However, the dense crowd made the round-up plan difficult.
"Look! The demons are coming, but they are destroying all voices against her. ”
"Sons of the Stormwind Kingdom, are you willing to submit forever to such a reign of darkness? Have you forgotten what our former homeland was like? ”
The arrival of the City Guard did not deter Reginald, but only made the generalissimo speak even more angrily. He knew very well that without relying on the strength of the people, there was no hope of victory in this struggle. Next to the cornerstone, Ares had drawn his greatsword. Jean remained in human form in front of everyone. He couldn't let this fight fall short because of his transformation.
"No!"
Young people in the crowd began to shout.
Immediately afterward, more people began to shout, and the scene began to commotion. Like a tide of uneasiness, the commoners supported Reginald and the Generalissimo in an operation to overthrow the dark reign of the countess. They want to give Stormwind a bright future, and also to find a way to survive for themselves.
The soldiers soon clashed with the population.
Countless stones were thrown at the Stormwind guards, the men picked up sticks and began beating the soldiers who captured the marshal, and the women picked up vegetables and eggs and threw them at the guards.
The head was broken and bleeding, the gravel was flying, and the scene was a mess. And that's what Reginald and Ares are looking forward to. Not only did they succeed in instigating a riot, but they also covered up Varian. A large number of guards were crowding into the trade area, and the defenses of the fortress were weakened.
Soon, there was also a sound of turmoil on the side of the Storm Fortress.
Varian and his Arena Triangle made it straight to the fortress......
