Two days later, Claudia was almost recovered, and as Pastor Penn had said, her physical injuries had long since disappeared, and the curse of her soul had ceased to work after the death of the original owner, and during the two days of rest, she was more dealing with the confusion of memories and the fusion of souls, as well as a few sequelae, such as headaches.

Jaime had come again yesterday, but Claudia really didn't know how to face this fiancé.

She has to admit that this fiancé is still very good.

Even putting aside the status of a great nobleman, Jaime himself is well-educated, gentle and polite, well-dressed, and personable, and his appearance is also the dream lover level of many girls in his previous life on Earth.

And Jaime is an elite warrior, at the top of the mortal rank, and then a hero powerhouse, becoming the protagonist of those stories in the bard's mouth. It's not such an easy step, but even that is remarkable.

Also, Jaime clearly has a deep affection for the original owner of this body. If Claudia was an ordinary girl, she would probably have stars in her eyes and she would not want to be beautiful.

It's a pity that this is where she is entangled, even if she crosses into a girl, she has not lost her temperament to the point where she can immediately make love with a strong man. If you kick Jaime away, not to mention the feelings of the part of the soul that belongs to the original owner, his marriage contract is recognized by the Holy Light Church, needless to say that he is just a little baron, even if James sees himself unpleasantly one day, it is impossible to take the means of divorce or divorce, aside from face, the divorce itself needs the approval of the archbishop, and the entire human world can approve one or two in a year.

Also, the difference between Claudia, who has just crossed the bad performance and the previous one, is too big, otherwise it is not a trivial matter to be possessed as a demon.

So the girl's strategy yesterday was to deal with it vaguely, and then directly excuse the headache and rest to let Jaime leave temporarily. Although Jaime was a little strange, he didn't care about the fact that the girl hurt her soul before.

Raven was praying and doing the paladin's usual morning service.

According to Claudia's memory, prayer was a means of communicating with the Light, and in the process of communicating with the Light, the Paladin would become a more suitable vessel for the Light, so as to better borrow the power of the Light.

The Holy Light of this world is not God, but a very pure thing, and many people in the process of communicating with the Holy Light, not only their bodies, but also their minds are constantly transforming in the direction of positive energy, so the Holy Light is also considered to be a collection of a series of virtues such as justice, order, and sacrifice. Most of the virtues and spirits of the Light preached by the Church of the Light are also by-products of the belief in the Light.

Claudia also communicated with the Light in the same way she remembered, and she was a little nervous, but the Light quickly responded to her, warming her as before.

It feels awesome, Claudia couldn't help but think. The exhaustion of her body, the nostalgia for the past, and the confusion about the future were all swept away by the warmth of the Holy Light, and after a short time, her heart was full of courage and hope.

I really don't know why the Prince of Arthas would abandon the companion of the Light in the future and choose cold death and darkness. Putting aside the meaningless thoughts, the girl continued the process of communicating with the Holy Light, and finished the morning class.

After the morning class, Claudia and Raven had breakfast together, breakfast was not very rich, hard bread and cereal porridge made up their breakfast, it was too far from Lordaeron to be supplied at all, the thick snow covered the earth all year round, and there were not many wild vegetables to be found, and the animals could occasionally see a few herds of mammoths, but their size was destined to provoke them was an act that outweighed the cost.

In the afternoon, Claudia planned to go to Jaime, not because she had already figured out how to deal with the relationship with Jaime, but since the crossing, there has always been a huge sense of oppression in her heart, maybe a month, maybe ten days, or even three or five days, Prince Arthas in order to save the defeat, will desperately look for the sorrow of the magic sword frost, when he finds the magic sword and returns, no one here can survive, she must think about leaving this mortal situation as soon as possible.

The army that went out on the expedition were all the royal guards who were the most loyal to the royal family, and the rest of the few vassals like Claudia, or the mage priest and other spell-casting professionals, were also close ministers of the royal family, and even if she revealed a little suspicion of the prince, it might immediately reach the prince's ears.

It was even more impossible to leave secretly in private, this was the keel wilderness of the Northern Rift, and without adequate food and warmth, the cold wind and hunger alone could kill her. Also, she doesn't have a map, it's not a game, you always know where you are, and the result of getting lost in the white sky is to run out of stamina and turn into an ice sculpture.

Even if she could make it to the beach by mistake, she would not find any boat that could send her back, and the only fleet she knew of was in Daggard Bay, and if she had no permission to run over, the captains who were loyal to the prince would not hesitate to arrest her, a deserter, and hand her over to the prince.

Thinking about it, her only choice was James Sheen, and although the girl's remaining memories described this man with words such as liar, scoundrel, and bastard who bullied women and children, it was more about peace of mind and trust.

Pushing open the door, the girl saw the outside world for the first time after crossing.

It was an eternal white land as far as the eye could see, with huge icicles hanging from the towering cliffs, rivers covered with heavy ice, waterfalls frozen in mid-air, most of the soldiers were sheltered from the cold in tents or wooden huts, and the few soldiers who could be seen showed exhaustion and confusion in their empty eyes.

That's when the girl realized that not only Raven, but also the soldiers were homesick. Even the most elite Royal Guard, after half a year of high-intensity fighting, was trapped in this harsh northland, and gradually lost their morale.

Outside the camp, there were not many traces left of the undead raid a few days ago, only the broken trees, and the dried and blackened blood on the broken walls still spoke of the fierceness of the battle.

Jaime was obviously surprised by her arrival, but he welcomed it.

"Honey, isn't your injury out of the way, it's so cold outside, just ask Raven to call me over if there's something." Jaime said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Jaime." Although Claudia was a little uncomfortable, she also felt a faint warmth.

"Raven doesn't know where she went." She paused,

"I guess I'm going to be naughty with the big-headed soldiers again." Jaime was a little speechless and said, "I really think you should change your retinue. ”

"Don't be so harsh, Jaime."

Claudia couldn't help but smile when she remembered Raven's appearance.

"She's a few months younger than Partris." Speaking of Partris, Claudia became a little sad again: "I think of Partris, Jaime, I remember that I promised Paltrius to spend the Winter Veil with her before the expedition, and I thought I would be able to go home soon, and I don't know how Partris is doing. My father is gone, and I'm worried about her. ”

"Honey," Jaime naturally wrapped his hand gently around Claudia's waist, trying to comfort her. "Don't worry, Demytia Demytia of your sister's mentor is my good friend, she will take care of Partris"

Claudia tensed the muscles in her waist a little uncomfortably, but she didn't dare to break free, "You don't understand, James, Partris is different from me, my father has loved her the most since she was a child, I'm so worried... ”

Just then, there was a loud cheer from outside the room, and the two men walked out of the room to find that the camp had turned into a sea of joy, and several soldiers were joining forces to throw a herald into the air, many of them loudly conveying to each other the latest news from the bay of dagger:

"His Majesty has decreed that this expedition has been cancelled and we can go home!"

The soldiers stepped out of their tents, the oppressive atmosphere was swept away, and everyone hugged and laughed as if they hadn't seen each other in years.

Jaime turned to the girl and smiled, "Look, Claudia, the Light is on our side, and we can go home." ”

Claudia was not very optimistic, she knew exactly what was going to happen next, "James, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Prince won't want to go back." ”

Jaime was unimpressed, "Aha, our naïve prince? I'd love to wait for him to come back and see his face. "He's not a king yet, and he won't disobey." You know, this is treason! ”

Claudia returned to her lodgings a little depressed, knowing what was going to happen, but she couldn't do anything.

Raven was packing her belongings diligently, and according to the military order, except for a few follow-up troops and other princes and dwarf commanders Muradin's Bronze Beard, most of them were about to cross a difficult path to the western seashore to meet the fleet the day after tomorrow.

The reason for the detour is that the main road has been occupied by crypt spiders and zombies, and after getting the military order to go home, no one wants to fight these monsters that can't be killed.

***********************

When the prince of Arthas and Muradine returned to the camp after a long day's travel, he felt tired, hungry and cold, and the camp seemed to be deserted, everything was packed, and only a small group remained here.

They raised their eyes to salute the prince, and Captain Luke Valenfuss conveyed the order to the prince to withdraw: "At the persuasion of Lord Uther, your father, His Majesty Tenaris has decided to withdraw his troops, and this expedition has been cancelled!" ”

"How could he-!" Arthas's heart was filled with anger, "Withdraw, just because of Uther's persuasion? ”

The captain glanced nervously at Muradin next to him, and then replied, "Yes, sir." We wanted to wait for you to return, but the envoy pressed us out, and now everyone is heading northwest to join the fleet. Our spies say that the past was all under the control of zombies, so they are now busy cutting a path out of the woods. I'm sure you should have time to catch up with them, sir. ”

"Of course," Arthas said, smiling reluctantly, but churning inside. "I'll miss you for a while." He placed his hand on Muradin's shoulder and led the dwarf to a place of refuge.

"It's a pity, boy, maybe it's better to go back, I always feel that the message of Frost's Sorrow is too easy for us to get." Muradin stroked its beard and said.

"They don't understand anything! If you go back like this now, the source of the plague has not been solved, and the plague will break out again next year! The prince clenched his fists and hammered hard into the tree, "Malganis, that bastard, you don't know what he's done to my people!" It took a lot of hard work for us to get here. Without these soldiers, I couldn't have solved him! ”

"But your father must have given the order, boy, but he is the king!"

"No, I'm not going back, all of us will stay until we settle Marganis!" Thinking of the tribe of frost trolls who passed by during the day in search of Frost Sorrow, Arthas had a plan to reveal it to Muradin and Coil.

Muradin was stunned. "Isn't it a bit too much, lad?" Muradin's tone was clearly saying that this was indeed too much, and that it was probably much more than "a little".

"Muradin, help me, you haven't seen what I've seen, and you're not forced to do what I've done. I want to put an end to this plague and end the threat to my people, and believe me, these sacrifices are nothing compared to the survival of the people of Lordaeron. Arthas pleaded with Muradin, in a very sincere tone.

"Hell, lad," his brow furrowed, the dwarves had always been the most righteous of friends, "let's go." ”

"Thank you so much, Muradin." The Prince of Arthas replied, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, "I will show Uther and Gianna that I have not shirked my duty, for I am determined to do these things that make the weak hold back, that my people may survive." ”

************************

In the woods, Claudia and her party were marching with difficulty, the path was not easy to walk, and in many places even trees had to be cut down to facilitate the passage of the army. Raven energetically asked Claudia some questions about the teachings of the Light, and Claudia answered them one by one by finding the corresponding answers or her own understanding from her own memory.

"We're almost to the beach." Jaime was accompanied by several retinues. "It's been half a year, and I can't wait to go back to the territory and taste the colorfinfish by the lake in Fenris's territory."

"Perhaps. I always had a bad premonition. Claudia coped, and she was the only one of them who didn't have much hope for the future.

"Relax, Hani, the war is over, and in a moment we can get on board and head home."

The group was about to walk out of the forest, but found that the soldiers in front of them stopped, the huge fire stained the dim sky, and the burning ships emitted a huge light, many soldiers were so shocked that they couldn't make any sound for a while, until there was a bang, it was the sound of the flagship's keel burning and the big ship breaking into two, and many people let out a desperate wail, and the sound of the flames licking the oiled wood was so loud that their cries were muffled for a long time.

Several figures also stood on the shore and watched as this happened, led by a blond-haired, heavily armored man, his blue cloak stained with blood and scratches, his eyes full of anger and exhaustion, the leader of this army, the Prince of Arthas.

He confronted the angry soldiers, turned his head with the war hammer in his hand and pointed to the figure on the sea in several small wooden boats full of supplies, the war hammer in his hand no longer emitted holy light, and shouted loudly: "These monsters have taken our supplies, burned our ships, killed them!" Then he took the lead against the frost trolls.

Red-eyed soldiers followed, and the battle was brief and clean, with no prisoners. Some of the frost trolls wanted to say something, but unfortunately the human soldiers couldn't understand the trolls' language, and even if they did, their hopes were so great, and when they were dashed, the anger that ensued was just as fierce as it was enough to tear everything to shreds.

"Damn it." Jaime turned grim and turned to face Claudia, never before in his memory of being so personable. "What do you know?"
