Red Ridge Mountain, Elwyn Forest, East Valley Lumber Yard, and Shining Gold Town, with a heavy mission, Varian and Ares and their party continue to move south. Along the way, you can see wanted notices issued by the King of Stormwind plastered all over the towns and villages along the way. Obviously, some people in the city are already worried and restless about the return of the ghost wolf.

Seeing himself on the wanted list, a hint of anger flashed between Varian's eyebrows. He looked at the sun overhead, and at the seemingly endless Elwyn Forest, and clenched his fists. It's a scene he is familiar with, everything he is familiar with. Even the air and the lawn are so intimate and familiar. Now, he's back, and he's vowed to take back what was rightfully his.

After a sleepless night in a small hotel in Shining Gold, everyone in the early morning put on their luggage and continued to make their way to Stormwind. Reginald had taken off his armor to prevent overly conspicuous equipment from causing unnecessary trouble to the team.

It's been a long journey. Finally, after nearly half a year of travel, Varian finally returned to his homeland, his hometown of Stormwind. In his fifth year in Azeroth, Ares arrived in the magnificent City of Lions for the first time.

As expected, Stormwind was built in a fertile valley with fertile land and the descendants of Soradin almost single-handedly cultivating and thriving on the continent. Without relying on any outside forces, they forged iron with their industrious hands to defend against the local savage creatures, and built Stormwind into a world-class metropolis, the most prosperous and largest city on the eastern continent today.

Before entering the city, you will be greeted by the tall walls of Stormwind.

The walls here are more than ten meters high, a full five stories high, made of white giant stone, soldiers in neat silver-white armor patrol outside the city gates, through the giant city gates, you can vaguely see the huge bust of Turayan opposite the Valley of Heroes.

"They're here!"

However, before they could enter the city, Varian and Ares were discovered by the guards at the city gates. Dozens of heavily armed patrol guards immediately ran out of the city, pointing spears at Varian and Ares, and they surrounded the squad. The number of onlookers gradually increased.

"Are you really going to use force against your own king?"

Varian stepped forward and shouted.

However, it seems, none of the guards believed the words of the man in front of them. In their eyes, the man who claimed to be the king looked like a destitute vagabond, dressed in a dress that could not have been more modest, with long hair falling down to his shoulders, and looking like he had not washed for many days. The stubble was not repaired, and the whole person was sloppy. It's just that this man is tall and burly, and his eyes look bright, and he is by no means an ordinary person. The guards didn't know why the countess had to kill him, but in any case, as soldiers, they had to carry out their orders.

"You're the king? And who is the man who sits on the throne? ”

The captain of the patrol asked. They still pointed their spears at Varian and Ares, forcing them to lay down their weapons.

But the rest of the squad drew their swords. Yarlin had even pulled out his pistol and loaded it with bullets.

"You'd better get out of the way, I don't want to do anything to my people."

Facing the blinded Stormwind guards, Varian turned and spoke in a threatening tone. However, the guards still didn't intend to let go, and they couldn't let go.

"Lay down your arms!"

Varian's threat soon proved ineffective. The captain of the patrol roared.

Just as he was about to start, from the avenue inside the city gate, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves. The foreman was a human general who was also tall and burly.

Both Varian and Reginald recognized him immediately, it was Marcus, the garrison officer of Stormwind. Joe Senner.

The guards quickly made way for their generals. In the trembling sound of iron armor, Marcus. Josenna walked up to Varian and Reginald. Apparently, he also recognized Reginald and Varian. It's just that......

"Your Majesty? How is this possible? ”

When Varian really stood on the side of General Marcus. In front of Josanna, the loyal warrior, the officer defending Stormwind, couldn't believe his eyes.

"Marcus, old friend, don't be surprised, he really is our majesty."

Seeing Joe Senner's surprised expression, Reginald immediately stood up and explained.

It's just that the Stormwind General still can't believe his eyes.

"That'...... And who is the man who sits on the throne? ”

Josenna asked.

"A puppet, a man who has stolen my throne, I must enter the city, tear off his disguised mask, and show the most bloody truth to everyone."

Varian said angrily.

"Your Majesty, your face?"

Joe Senna asked.

"That's the mark I left behind when I was framed. A bolt of lightning. ”

Varian said, holding his head high.

"It's amazing...... But, Your Majesty? Well, Reginald, you know, I still can't let you in. ”

After a moment of hesitation, Marcus said with difficulty.

"Why? For that so-called order, that wanted warrant, huh? ”

Reginald asked.

"Yes......"

In front of the enraged former Generalissimo of Stormwind, Marcus bowed his head in silence. They used to be best comrades-in-arms, galloping together on horseback, drinking and having fun together, and Marcus knew that Reginald was a man of honor. A real generalissimo.

"Look at my face, old friend, do you still recognize it? We served together under General Tulayan. At that time, we obeyed the command of the Alliance, followed the teachings of the Light, and together we slew the most evil orcs and bathed in the Light. Have you forgotten all this? ”

Reginald said.

"No, I didn't forget ......"

There was a hint of melancholy on Marcus' face. Reginald's words were like an invisible flail, whipping his soul.

"Well, since you haven't forgotten, you should see what happened in Stormwind today. Who told you to capture the great King of Stormwind? Who is it that makes this city, this kingdom, the dark, ugly it is today? And who instigated the nobles to owe the paychecks of the stonemasons' union, which led to riots in the cities and turmoil in the kingdom? ”

Reginald pressed and asked. You can see that the brow on General Marcus's face is furrowed even tighter, and his heart is tormented. As an officer in Stormwind, he can't disobey military orders. However, as a close friend of Reginald and a loyal warrior under Varian, he could not renounce his faith and oath. Indeed, what Reginald said was true. Since Countess Katrana came to power, the kingdom has been in complete disarray.
