Chapter Seventy-Nine: Atonement

"Blackmore and General Langton are gone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What, they're gone, how could it be! Blackmore isn'tβ€”" Manik, who was usually the most sedate of all, jumped up, and though I was deeply puzzled, I still reminded my captain of the guard in a scolding tone.

"No fuss!" I said, turning to the group, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Yes, I don't want him to reveal some possible obstacles, and although I can't hide the doubts on my face, no one will suspect me of anything. After all, their disappearance is very suspicious, yes, I don't think they showed anything, and hopefully by then.

We were led to the place, and I even frowned when I got there, where Blackmore had died, and there was nothing but blood, not a body, just some powder nearby, and Gallisus, who was fairly knowledgeable about it, recognized at a glance what it was, and what caused it to appear.

"It's the ashes! It was the flame magic that killed them. ”

"Yes, and it's not a normal spellcaster. Luo Ning nodded in agreement, but there was a worry on his face, and it became more serious as the investigation deepened, "It must be a powerful spellcaster, ordinary people don't use magic so cleanly and thoroughly." Luo Ning said so, and used his magic to probe the caster, yes, what he just said was an objective understanding, not to cover up something....but when the reality was revealed, there was no preparation for covering it up.

"It's the magic of the black dragon, you can't be wrong, it's the black dragon. Luo Ning shook his head, a little afraid to accept this reality, but after confirming it, he seemed to feel that saying this did not reveal anything, so after calming down, his face showed the same timid look as I did, and he became frank, "It was the black dragon who killed him." ”

My mind went blank when I heard this, but I quickly realized what we were going to do at this point.

"Contact Crassus!"

Luo Ning nodded a little hurriedly, and then concentrated on chanting a spell, but after a spell, his face became even more nervous, "Damn, he didn't even make a connection for me." ”

"Oh yes. I realized something at once, like Crassus's fear that he was going to reject his beloved apprentice....so "Two days later, he doesn't want to be bothered by you now." ”

"Is it to contact him?"

"I think I can relate to... Let him come over. Gianna said, "Then she picked up the bottle again and groaned." At first, Luo Ning was puzzled by her behavior, as if he doubted that she actually had that ability, but when Crassus appeared, he showed some surprise, but he was quickly covered up by anger, and even blamed him in front of him without any scruples about the teacher-student relationship.

"Crassus, you still refuse my link, do you know that there is a black dragon here?"

"I'm sorry, Ronin. I didn't expect this to happen. He stretched out his paw to apologize to his apprentice, and then changed the subject in the name of the scene, going straight to the point. "Okay, let me take a look at the scene. ”

Crassus looked at the cast marks, and quickly made eye contact with Ronin, yes, he seemed to be communicating with his beloved disciple and said, 'There are also traces of your spell casting. Or something else that you understand. And at this moment, he was no longer angry, and nodded silently. Then his exploration work continued. Soon they nodded their heads again and came to a unanimous conclusion.

"It was supposed to be the heir of the Black Dragon, who killed Langton with dark magic and killed Lord Blackmore with a blunt weapon, and then took his body away. ”

Crassus explained, and I naturally said something in my favor.

"They should have some deals, and they can't see anyone. Therefore, the black dragon wants to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces. I then turned to another high-ranking general of Dunhold, and then threatened him, "I heard that the black dragons are trying to use the Terran king or lord to subvert the entire alliance regime, and I have also inquired about some rumors that you are going to use orc slaves to form an army to attack the capital, is this the case?" ”

"Your Highnessβ€”" The general fell to his knees instantly, and Garissus was furious when he heard that they had behaved like this, and tried to clean up the man, but was immediately dissuaded by me, and then I faced the kneeling fellow again.

"Well, General, it seems that the fact that the Black Dragon didn't take you away means that you are not the main mastermind. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, we only heard sporadically when he was drunk that he was going to betray, I...."The man argued, but the discerning man knew at a glance that he was lying.

"I've been mindful of these things for a long time, and I advise you to tell the truth. "It was disgusting to see him acting like a minion and telling lies. So I immediately signaled to them not to be so hypocritical. "I have almost all the evidence of your incrimination. It is just that there is a lack of confession from the person concerned, and I hope that you will confess your guilt in the law, and if what you say is true, I promise, and swear in the name of the Holy Light, that all your mistakes and sins will be written off, and you will be reinstated, but if you have anything to hide, then Blackmore will be your fate. ”

"Your Highness, we will give all the evidence of his guilt. ”

"Good!" I smiled, and maybe I had an excuse to be here.

Everything went as planned, and to my delight was that the scout had also brought back news, yes, it was the news of the Blackstone Orcs, who were engaged in a firefight with the local Eagle's Nest dwarves.

"Your Highness, the griffon dwarves may need support. ”

"yes, I think we have something to do. I said this, turning to my most trusted subordinate and saying in a different tone, "Falik, you stay here and control the situation here.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

So he turned and walked away, but as if he had another question, he stopped him.

"Don't forget to gather more information about that..."

"I understand, Your Highness. ”

Seeing that he knew what I meant, he left him and Crassus here, and then turned around and led everyone there, yes, I was very relieved of them, so that I could prepare for the next thing....There is a duel waiting for me!

The army was heading north, and I hesitated when he would appear, until I approached the foot of the hill in front of where the blackstone orcs had gathered. And they seem to have been waiting for me for a long time, yes, he must have been looking forward to this time too.

For everyone, the humans who participated in the first tribal war can immediately recognize his identity.

"It's Orgrim, charge and kill him. Gather said, but before he could do anything, I stopped him.

"Wait, he's got something to say, I think I'm going to go. ”

"Your Highness, you have no idea how powerful and insidious he is, he once killed Lothar back then. ”

"Yes, I saw him in Lordaeron back then, but now it's not what it used to be, I've grown up, but he's old. ”

"Your Highness!" Garissus still wanted to say something, but instead of letting him continue, I gave my reasons.

"The last days of a legend are always in full bloom and I don't want to miss this last chance to see him. ”

I said so, and Ronin assured everyone.

"Don't worry, General. I will keep Your Highness safe. ”

Hearing Ronin's prompt, I walked into him with more confidence, and the others also knew Ronin's strength, so everyone didn't wonder, but surrounded the two of them, the troll and Orgrim.

Everything was as expected, he didn't say a word to me now, but raised his hammer of destruction with one hand towards me, and I naturally took out my hammer and faced him. Yes, for such a duel, especially the scene where everyone understands it, there is no need to communicate with him at all, so the prologue of the duel begins.

I know very, very well in terms of experience, I may be far inferior to this chief, yes, you don't notice any superfluous movements from him when he wields a war hammer, and when our weapons collide with each other, he is no less powerful than any orc I've ever experienced, although he has lost an arm, but still much stronger than the average orc, especially his stone battle axe, which makes my arm tingle every time I collide with his weapon.

I know how to deal with a fighter of this level, first of all, I don't try any flaws that may appear, but try to consume his physical strength, yes, originally my youth and he has lost his arm, so I have a huge advantage in physical strength, and the recovery of the holy light allows me to maintain the same abundant energy as at the beginning, but on the other hand, his physical consumption is huge for him, and gradually his strength has decreased a lot, and more small flaws have overlapped, and I gradually have an advantage in this scene。

When we collided with the hammer again, we kicked him to the ground with one kick while he was not strong enough and his center of gravity was unstable. Yes, if it were a battlefield or a duel with a small audience, I would definitely follow my own warhammer, but according to some paladin's terms and this duel is a must-win duel, I didn't do it, but waited for him to slowly get up.

And after a little breath, he took up his arms and confessed to me.

"Arthas, you remind me of your master, Uther, and if you can, help me say hello to him. ”

"Hehe, I'll tell him what happened to this duel. "I didn't hide my smile in the face of his 'compliment', yes, I said that I was telling him that I was sure of my victory, because I also had a special ability"... Don't forget that he also taught me to be a paladin. ”

"Yes, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten how Tulayan lost that time. He said this and rushed towards me again, for which I immediately realized that this time the possible power was far stronger and faster than just now, for the sake of safety, this time I used a stronger power of holy light than just now, but in terms of choice, I chose to reduce his rapid punishment of holy light, but soon I realized that this was not the case, yes, Turayan used to use this trick, and this time, he thought of a way to deal with it, that is, the moment the holy light hit him, his leg immediately exerted force, and his body rolled over with a 360-degree side, and the holy light hit his back, and the severe pain accelerated his rotation speed and the strength of the next war hammer, I can only choose to rush to meet this, the next 'fatal blow' Yes, such a short time will not allow me to activate the power of the Holy Light, maybe I will be more auspicious at another time, but the reality is not so....

When the two weapons collided, I knocked the Hammer of Doom flying. Yes, he did it on purpose.......but who can doubt that, after all, anyone who can see it will think that my Light has worked. Soon the crowd cheered, and that overshadowed the guilt I felt at the moment. Yes, everyone knows what I'm going to do next....

"Kill him... Kill him!" everyone shouted in unison. But I felt like I would feel guilty about doing so, so I took my dagger and handed it to him.

Yes, if it were a different person, everyone would definitely laugh at my stupidity without hiding themselves now, but everyone's cheers stopped abruptly at this time, I knew that if I turned back, I would definitely see stupid eyes, but I knew that it wouldn't be like this, and a warrior like Xiang shouldn't have been killed by me in such a false battle.

Seeing this, he nodded understandingly, and then he closed his eyes and gently crossed his neck, and the tribal chief fell. But at this time, no one was cheering as before.

I think there was a sign of respect for what had once been my greatest enemy, and I hastened to hand over the Hammer of Doom to the troll next to me, who knew me well but knew him, while everyone still had respect for him.

"You know who to give this hammer to. I said to him, and he nodded calmly and left the place into the woods under the gaze of everyone, while I stood still, guarding the corpse of the Hammer of Doom, silent. Yes, at this moment I can't help but think back to everything that has happened in the past ten years, and maybe the threat of the tribe has come to an end, I hope so.

After Galletsus and the others confirmed that he had returned to the West, I arranged for a supply wagon from Melwin and Galletsus to transport his body to the site of the Horde landing near the town of Southsea for burial. Yes, I think there may be no better place to bury the chieftain than there, and it is close to the sea, so it should be very easy for Sal to claim his body.

At this point, I felt as if my mission had been accomplished, so I re-re-re-commanded Gallisus and instead had Thassarian take part in the battle as an adjutant commander. Yes, I guess under the cover of the griffin dwarves in the air, it shouldn't be any problem for this general to clean up this wave of orcs that have been running around all night. So I don't have to command at all. It might be better to give him that fame, and it's a rare learning opportunity for Thassarian.

I looked at their backs and thought, and then I prepared myself for the next thing.

"I think we should go back too.

"Are you going back to Talon County?" Ronin asked knowingly, but then he asked an important point, "Arthas, you should think of an excuse to give Sylvanas an explanation." ”

"yes, I don't know how to tell her about these things. Gianna, do you have any good ideas?"

I asked, but before Gianna could speak, a powerful bow came down at me from the sky, and grazed my armor and shot at the ground beneath my feet, yes, I knew at once who this master of the same was, and what it would mean....and everyone's eyes immediately became nervous.
