Everyone continues to appease the people of Gilneth here, in the midst of which hatred and conflict can be handled relatively easily, but the lack of food makes me feel more stressed, and it is hard to imagine how Grey Sideburns would have persevered in this food-starved royal city without our presence at the beginning, and perhaps he did not know that his food could no longer supply them and wait for our support. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I believe that Luo Ning and Gianna are well aware of the current situation, so they have not returned, and they are also collecting food over there, seeing that they have not returned, I didn't think much about it, but went with everyone to treat the wounded day and night, and repair the houses, yes, if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, this is the best time.

While we waited for them to come, we consumed the only food we had left, Sylvanas and the werewolves also collected food in the suburbs and forests, and there were far less prey than I had imagined than I had brought before, and although there were many animals and wild fruits in the Silver Pine Forest, a lot had already been consumed in a battle of this magnitude with us Lordaeron. Fortunately, the lords of the other city-states of Gilneth and the armies outside also petitioned and brought food with them, which also relieved our urgent needs to some extent.

It was not until the morning of three days later that the problem was completely resolved, and Uther and Dahlin arrived here with large quantities of military rations. With them came new problems, and they were far more difficult for me personally to deal with than physical shortages

.........

They arrived almost at the same time, with Gianna and Ronin on either side. Actually, I wanted to meet them, or I thought they would welcome me, but in their looks I sensed that things were not going to go well. Especially when I had no time to greet them and ask everyone to go to the conference hall in Gilneth to discuss matters, I was reprimanded by Uther first.

"I didn't expect you to do such a thing. ”

As before, Uther was always the first to find fault with me every time we met, and it was another major mistake for him...

"Did I kill Grey Sideburns without permission?" I knew what he was going to say, and I didn't have anything else to say about it. "Master, all I can say is that I did what I was supposed to do. ”

I bowed, but it wasn't Uther who was really worried... As he got up, he glanced at Dalin, and although he didn't care about it, my heart was even more nervous, for his face was also annoyed, and I knew what it was about, but fortunately, at this moment, Sylvanas had not returned from hunting, and I really hoped that she would not come early before I settled the matter, otherwise it was hard for me to imagine how I could persuade her not to be sad.

"What you should have done was not to order him to be executed privately, but to be interrogated by the Alliance, you are undoubtedly dictatorial in doing so, and I really find it hard to imagine what you yourself will do in the future. Uther continued reprimanding me, interrupting my worries about the incident and focusing on the current conflict.

"I don't want to put him to death, but he's guilty and he's trying to start a riot at the last minute.

"But he was eventually subdued by you, so you can add this to his charges, but you can't order it privately, you are not a king, Arthas. ”

I was hesitant to say something about his collusion with demons, but I figured that even if I did, Uther would still hold on to the fact that I would hand over the sideburns to the Coalition for trial, and at this time, I didn't expect Dalin to come forward and save me.

"Then Uther, who do you think should be qualified to sentence Greysideburns to death?"

"I think it's you and King Tyres. Uther explained that, yes, although they all saw each other almost as friends, he was able to show his status as king to suppress Uther.

"King Tyrese has written to me and told me that I will take full charge of the post-war settlement of Gilneth, so I secretly ordered the execution of Greysideburns. ”

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Uther, who looked at the king of Kul Tiras with his bewilderment.

"Dalin, you?"

"That's right, I have a grudge with him for a long time, and he colluded with demons, attacked the alliance, and injured my daughter, I will not spare him in public or private. So Arthas put Grey Sideburns to death for me, and I have no doubt about it, so please don't embarrass your precious apprentice. ”

I'm very grateful to hear him say that I plead for me, but for what follows, maybe it is more serious, like what he just said, only Gianna really cares about it, and it is also an indirect opening statement to me. And I don't know how to deal with Dalin's anger, after all, my relationship with Sylvanas has crossed his line.

Looking at Dalin's calm expression, Uther had nothing to say, and at the same time, Marlan also met them separately with her silver hand, and also talked about the process of the war in private, and what he had done to me in the past few days, Uther finally did not accuse me of anything, and finally the matter on this side was over.

。

"I think we can go to the council chamber and discuss some disposition. Dalin said to me, looking at Gianna at a loss, I already knew what he meant, I didn't know what to do, but I could only go to the council hall to discuss political affairs as I had expected at the beginning.

Everyone sat in their respective seats, and Dalin, who was the lord of Kul Tiras, naturally sat in the seats. Still, he didn't speak, but looked at me. The same people in the room were looking at me at the same time, waiting for my opening remarks.

So the scene seemed very embarrassing for a while, and I could only settle down, and strengthen my emotions to keep myself as they were, after all, I can't be weak in any case, otherwise I won't be able to deal with this contradiction in the future.

"I think everybody's here, and I have a couple of things to discuss with you today, starting with Gilneth fixing the problem. ”

"Is it going back to the way it used to be? It's going to take a lot of money, and it's hard for anyone to afford such a huge expense right now. ”

"No, I want to restore the people's livelihood, as for the palace facilities and other architectural elegance, they are not needed for the time being. "There is actually another meaning in my statement, which is that Gilneth does not need a new king, and he continued to see that everyone has no opinion. "Yes, after this war, the livelihood of Gilneth has been hit hard, I hope that General, you can provide supplies here until the next autumn harvest..."

"You Lordaeron have suffered heavy damage from these two wars now. Gilneth can hand it over to us Kul Tiras. Dai Lin said politely, maybe he wouldn't have any slack off in such a business. This can also be said that if I provoke him to be angry because of some personal matters, he will not be angry with my country. At the same time, he also wanted to know what Gianna's place was in my heart, and I thought optimistically, and I felt compelled to confess my thoughts to her now.

"Now that all threats to the Alliance have been removed, I think I can fulfill my promise to marry Gianna to our Lordaeron, General. ”

Gianna was shocked to hear this, and she was probably expecting me to make such a promise. More obvious is Dai Lin, he can't help but crush his cup, yes, he didn't expect me to make such a request at this time, but some things must be faced, and the others saw Dai Lin's behavior at first puzzled, but after a while of whispering, everyone seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but start sweating for me.

"Arthas, your father and I have made this promise, but as far as I know, you have been in love with a ranger during this time, and I think you should explain to me why an elf appeared among you during your marriage to Gianna. ”

Dai Lin's face did not show any abnormality, but in these words, you can still hear the anger in his heart at the moment, maybe he will want to beat me up, but the reality has to take care of some decency, and the daughter she cares for the most.

"Father—" Gianna tried to plead something to him, but was quickly stopped by Dalin

"Don't say anything. He glared at his daughter and continued to look at me. "I want to listen to your explanation, Arthas. ”

"It's not like it's been rumored, I've known Sylvanas since I was a child. ”

"When you were a child, that was at Riptide Castle?" Prodmore suddenly stood, yes, he remembered something. "When Wen Lesa refused my offer to take up a post, she said that you had been to her house when you were a child. Could it be that you had a good impression at that time?" Dai Lin looked at Wen Leisa again, and at this moment, she nodded silently, maybe she also remembered our memories at that time... It's just that he didn't say anything.

"Yes, Sylvanas had already made an image in my mind at that time, but what I didn't think about was that I met Gianna again on the way to find her, I had grown up, and she was still like that..."I recounted the encounter, and it was probably like that..."And I had already told Gianna about my idea at that time, and I had her forgiveness, and I knew that it was not fair to her, but I did it. ”

"Pathetic to yourself, Arthas!"

"That's the thing, General, I do have the intention of pleading, but my will is also very clear, let Gianna come to me first, her position in my heart, I think you know, do you have to make it difficult for us because of this?"

Once he said this, Dai Lin couldn't hold back his anger and began to go crazy, and I was also-for-tat for myself.

"But how did you make me believe in the promise you made to me when you met Sylvanas, and treated her as if she were on the same level as Gianna!"

"I treat Sylvanas as Gianna's equal, but I have not broken my oath to you. What is Gianna's place in Lordaeron and the people of Lordaeron, I think you know!"

"Since you have such a status, how can you still have that ranger in your heart!"

"The Battle of Blackstone Mountain, the Black Dragon Hunt in the Canyon of Lethrow, and the Demon Plague when we struck, we were in Northrend, in the Valley of the Hearth, and Statum, and she was there for me every time I needed it, how could I live up to our affection, and now that she was almost as good as Winlesa because of some private soldiers to help me, and was rejected by her people. ”

My words may have touched the heart of Dai Lin, who had a similar experience, and then his tone was much calmer.

"Do you need her help? As far as I know, your journey south with your troops went unusually well. The same is true for the Northern Expedition, and you also got the help of the Dragon Clan in the middle, do you think it is difficult for you to do this?"

"The battle of Blackstone Mountain was easy, but you can't deny the role their rangers played on that battlefield, and I'm sure you've fought in the Orc War, so you should know the role their elves played on the battlefield. As I spoke, Dalin nodded, and he wasn't offended by my offense, but I knew that if I really wanted to convince him to do it, I might have to tell him some better evidence or something more irritating to him. And not to prove my affection for Sylvanas. "Everything you hear about how well we went in Northrend was before Gilneth didn't attack us. But those are all illusions, because the demon knows that the Grey Sideburns will attack us, so he wants to wait for our garrison to be scarce and let Gilneth take the whole of Lordaeron, didn't these Gianna tell you, our hardship in Northrend, I'm afraid no one thought that anyone would come back alive..."

"Gianna?" "At this moment, Daylin was no longer angry with me, but turned to her daughter, and in her gloomy face, he could definitely know that what I said was not a lie, so he once again gave up his personal grudge against me as if he were dealing with something important, and I understood his intentions, not to tear up our marriage contract, but only to deter me through words..."If this is true, then Gianna, why don't you tell me that I am your father. ”

"That's because—" Gianna shook her head, which made Dalin even more angry, and for me I didn't want to see a gap between mother and daughter, and I instantly understood why she hadn't told her father about it.

"That demon wants to control me to become a demon's puppet and then use my hand to destroy the entire alliance. "My remarks shocked almost everyone present, but now I just face..."This is not the point of our discussion this time....everything passed, we were all safe and sound, and we killed the demon, that is, the other mage who planned to create werewolves except for Arugao. ”

"No, Arthas, this is important! I didn't know the demon would have such powers, and we must let us know now what happened to the demon and you in Northrend. Uther stood up and interrupted me and Daylin solemnly, yes, he who had poured almost all his heart and soul into me would not allow me to make such a mistake, and so did the Admiral, who also wanted to know about us.

"How do you know these things? ”

"Toronin's introduction, I have some friends from the dragon clan who told me about demons. "I looked, Ronin, and he nodded to indicate that it was true, and only after that I continued to explain the reason to Dalin" And when I came back from the north, I met a high-ranking werewolf official, and he knew the reason for the appearance of the werewolf in Gilnes, so I concluded that Gray Temples had a relationship with the demon. ”

"It does. "A minister who has surrendered to Gilneth seems to know what to say and what not to say, for example, he is forced to say that he has not said it. "But it also has to do with another mysterious man, who was known to our former King, Greysides, whose origins are known to very few people, but whose purpose is clear: to conspire against Lordaeron. ”

"Who is he? Does anyone know?" said Uther, solemnly to the people around him, and after seeing that no one answered the question, he said himself.

"It's Deathwing, and it's the only one he fears even the demons of the Black Dragon King. I explained, and that surprised everyone even more.

"Gray Temples actually united the demon and the black dragon, it is really an unforgivable sin. Dalin scolded his old rival, but he now seemed to recognize that he was off topic. But the matter is not yet complete, and it is clearly explained, and I have not yet answered Uther's question.

"Then Arthas, as for the demonic purpose you said, he wants to control you, what method did he use, and was the gray sideburns controlled by the demon?"

"The demon has to use a rune sword to achieve his purpose, the one I brought back—" I said, feeling myself overlooking something important, and turned to Ronin. "Is that sword still there at the base? Is it trying to trick anyone else?"

"The sword still sits in place, it doesn't confuse anyone, and it's not as powerful as it used to be, but just in case, I set up an enchantment before I came, so no one can easily touch it. ”

"Arthas, what the hell is going on with that sword! Didn't you say it was a demonic weapon?"

"Actually, the demons wanted me to pick it up and let them control it," I paused, and then recounted the whole story. "The success of the Northern Expedition was arranged by them a long time ago. But after the Kyrgyz werewolves attacked us, I realized that these were all the work of demons, and that I insisted on the Northern Expedition because I wanted to attract the demons and his main force, so that we could protect Lordaeron from only facing the threat of Gilneys, not the undead and their siege. ”

So you just stuck on and went on. ”

"But it wasn't that simple, as we went deeper into the hinterland, we realized that the number of undead was very large, and although we were allied with the local spider-men, they were no match for them, and soon we were surrounded by a canyon mouth. ”

"And how did you get out of the encirclement?"

"These are their ruses, they want to force us to find a legendary sword, the one I brought, because it contains great power to crush the entire undead, but at the same time it will be controlled by demons. ”

"And you're going to raise that weapon anyway?"

"After a lot of twisting and turning, I finally picked it up and used him to kill the demons and their leaders. ”

"Gianna, is that so?" said Dain, turning to her daughter, but she seemed very uneasy at the moment, perhaps the matter was not what I said it was to outsiders. Dain, for example, thinks I'm one-sided. "Arthas, you should tell me the truth about what happened. ”

In the face of Dalin's questioning, Gianna was afraid that there would be any new misunderstandings, so she could only talk about the experience.

"In fact, I lost my mind at that time and almost killed all my friends. Gianna wept a little, and it was only now that Daillin realized something and regretted that he had to tell me the truth.

"But the result is that you have overcome the demon's control, which shows that you have defeated that demon's mind. Uther also began to comfort her, but Gianna did not agree with Uther's relief, but told the story completely.

"It's Arthas, who traded his life for my mind... I had been bewitched by the demon, and in order to protect everyone, he fought a duel, but instead of making a move, he watched me stab myself in the abdomen with that cursed weapon..."

"How could there be such a thing?" Dai Lin was not angry with me at the moment, but looked at me with concern, perhaps because he didn't check my injuries because of what he had just done, yes, he still cared about me as a junior in his heart.

"Your Highness, this is to use your own sacrifice to awaken Her Highness Gianna, who is controlled by the demon, and when the blood of the Holy Light stains that weapon, the demon's curse is dissolved..."

"Arthas, what about you now?" Uther also asked with concern, but as a paladin, he seemed to see that I was fine, and he was very skeptical of this statement. But it's true after all....

"Fortunately, the Red Dragon Queen realized that something like this might happen, so she gave me the medicine to treat Arthas a long time ago..."

After we recounted what had happened, there was silence at first, and I believe that no one thought that we would have such an experience. And that's enough for Dalin not to refuse me. I also took advantage of this time to express my wishes.

"General, Gianna didn't tell you about this because she didn't want you to worry too much about her. ”

"Yes, I was worried that such an experience would lead you to doubt Alsace and not fulfill your promise to protect me, so I said that everything went well with the Northern Expedition. ”

"Okay, I see. Dalin was relieved to hear this, but I was sure that he wasn't ready to pinch me. And I took this opportunity to express my wishes.

"We're not just in Northrend, we're in a lot of places, we've had a lot of profound experiences, so we don't want to leave each other, and I hope you can do that. ”

"Well, but you also have to understand me, I'm just this precious daughter, I don't want her to be wronged, and..."

"General, please allow us to speak privately. I looked at him with some hesitation, and quickly thought of what he was worried about, there could only be two things, one was the status of Sylvanas, and the other was that I was worried about whether I would inherit him Kul Tiras through such a marriage. So I motioned for the two of us to go to the side room of the room to talk about something intimate.

"Arthas, what do you want to say. ”

"I never thought of inheriting Kul Tiras in this way, for as far as I know, there is an elven woman named Gina Golden Sword and a half-elf daughter on the outskirts of Dalaran, and she should have the same rights as Gianna. ”

"Arthas?!" he looked a little embarrassed when I said it, but he didn't admit it immediately, and I didn't pause for it, but took advantage of the moment to continue to state my will.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy, but I just wanted to tell you that if I wanted to inherit your position, I wouldn't tell you about it, and I also want to say that I won't go your way. Because if I were you, I would take her to myself..."

"Well, Arthas, I have to say, you convinced me. Dalin smiled wryly at me, but quickly became serious again, and asked him what was in his mind. "But I'm surprised why you let me know I have a daughter, you know you can lose a lot of money. ”

"Then I can only say that in my eyes these are not as good as Gianna, of course I don't want to disappoint my elves, I hope you too, elves may be different from us race, but they have the same feelings as humans. ”

"Well... Then Alsace, I wonder if you will be satisfied with these mere things. ”

"I don't know, but I promise that I won't hide anything from Gianna, and I will never assert anything she doesn't agree with or is reluctant to, please trust her place in my heart. ”

"Okay, then you can take care of your own affairs......

Dalin made this decision with some difficulty, and finally walked out of here with a strong spirit and returned to his seat...
