The day of the expedition to Angela was fast approaching.

Because Claudia was able to teleport, she did not set off with the fleet, and she would teleport to Theramore to join her men after the army had been assembled.

In this expedition, according to the predetermined plan, the Alliance Tribal army will advance from Firas and Theramore in two ways, fight the swarm along the way, and finally meet at the Beetle Gate for a decisive battle.

Before leaving, Claudia had been with her three children, one of whom was still young and didn't know anything, but Anduin was different, he was ten years old.

"Mother, will you be in danger of going on this expedition?" Anduin worried.

Claudia smiled and comforted: "There will be danger, but the problem is not big, just rest assured, I should come back early, and you will have to work hard to take care of your younger brothers and sisters during this time, Anduin." ”

"Well, I will," Anduin nodded, solemnly agreed, he had a kind of sensibility and maturity that his age and peers did not have, his blue eyes were full of seriousness and determination, "I will work hard to practice martial arts, learn the mysteries of the Holy Light, and grow up as soon as possible, so that I can help my mother sooner." ”

Grow up?

Claudia looked at Anduin's resolute gaze with some emotion.

No, Anduin, you don't need to be so eager to grow up.

The world is too chaotic, the ancient gods are ready to move, the lich king is eyeing the enemy, the tribe friends and foes are unknown, and the nobles of the country are always coveting the royal power, and even the commoners may not be satisfied.

Now as an adult, you have to be like me, fighting day and night, and moving forward in the shadow of swords and swords.

Before you have to shoulder your adult responsibilities, spend as much time as you can as a child.

As long as I can withstand it, as a mother, I will always shelter you three brothers and sisters from the wind and rain, and do my best to let you live a peaceful, peaceful and stable life.

Even this may make you lack the grind, and you will not be as determined, courageous, and fearless as your father.

But so what?

When you were young, I would tell you heroic stories before you went to bed, but that doesn't mean I want you to be a hero, but I want you to be virtuous.

For me, as long as you can grow up healthy, have a good heart, think independently, and live happily, that's enough.

Child, may you not have to suffer like your father.

Child, may the tragedy of the Ureon family come to an end in your generation.

Child, may you grow up when I have calmed this chaotic world, forged a new order for this world with blood and steel, and brought lasting peace to this world.

Claudia leaned down, made her eyes level with Anduin, and said with a smile: "Okay, Anduin, I look forward to your growth, but during this time, in addition to learning and practicing martial arts, you can also play more with Seli, in addition to archery, she knows a lot of sophistication, and this is also a compulsory course for the prince." ”

"Well, well, Mother." Anduin replied cheerfully that he loved listening to the adventurous and skilled mercenary tell stories, and that she knew a lot of cool tricks besides archery, such as stealth, lockpicking, and camouflage.

Claudia nodded, Segrina had a bold personality and was informal, and Anduin would be more comfortable and happy when he was with her.

Claudia had already arranged for Segrina to live in the palace with Partris for a while during her expedition, and in addition to having the two of them take care of Claudia's children for a while, they could also instruct Anduin on the light and archery.

Of course, a big reason why the two of them were allowed to enter the palace was that Claudia wanted to find an excuse to convince her sister not to participate in the battle at the Beetle Gate, so that she would not be in danger.

Two days later, in the morning, south of the Dust Swamp, the Coalition makeshift camp.

After two days of marching, the main army of the alliance arrived at the front line of the war with the Qila Zerg, and not far away were the hives and colorful swarms.

In the distance, the buzz of the wings of the swarm could be heard, and the stench of the corpses of the swarm was in the air.

In the past few months, the defenders of Theramore and the early reinforcements of the alliance have fought fiercely with the swarm on this defensive line, although the pressure from the Zerg is increasing, but they have persevered and did not let the Zerg continue to wreak havoc north, and survived until the reinforcements arrived.

And today, it's time for the horn of the counteroffensive.

Before the war, Bridget Abydis was kneeling on the ground, praying before the battle.

Three years have passed since that upheaval Bridget joined the Seventh Legion, and she has been promoted to the rank of general due to her exploits, prestige, and Claudia's special favor, second only to Admiral Cox Maxwell in the Seventh Legion.

After losing all her relatives and most of her friends, she devoted most of her energy to her faith and devoted herself to the embrace of the Holy Light.

At this moment, that was it, the light shrouded Bridget, warming and motivating her, and when she finished praying, she was already in high spirits.

After all, the Light was with her.

Bridget stood up and walked out of her tent to her soldiers, fulfilling her duties as a general and paladin, with whom she conversed, prayed, blessed and boosted morale with her words:

"My brothers and sisters, we are already in the glory of the Light, today we have nothing to fear, and today we will win, for the Light is with us!"

The soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and Bridget's steadfast gaze and ferventness for faith were inspired, but in addition to this, there was the golden light that fell on them, and the glorious light was pouring out from a banner and falling on them at every moment, filling them with courage and hope.

It was a large flag with the emblem of the Alliance, centered on the lion, accompanied by cogs, feathered arrows, griffins, phoenixes, anchors, double-headed eagles, anvils and other patterns symbolizing the many countries of the Alliance, and that flag was the new battle flag held by Claudia, the nominal commander ---of the Alliance, Revadine Faith Guardian.

At this moment, the banner was approaching Bridget, and the soldiers moved out of the way, casting reverent, proud, and adoring glances at the queen who approached on a war horse and holding the flag.

They are the soldiers of the Seventh Legion, who are mainly exiled from Lordaeron, and this legendary majesty who also came from Lordaeron has always made them proud and proud, and among the soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom, they are also the most loyal and adored to Claudia.

In fact, this is the most important reason why Claudia chose to transfer the Seventh Legion to participate in the Battle of Quicksand, these soldiers are full of confidence and loyalty to her, even if she leads them to fight against unknown enemies in another strange continent, they can still maintain high morale.

Claudia rode in front of Bricht with the Tyr Guards and other attendants, she turned over and dismounted, and Bridice stroked her chest and saluted: "Your Majesty." ”

Claudia nodded in return, and behind her Amber approached with a two-handed sword, Claudia took the sword from Amber and handed it to Bridget.

"General Abydis, this sword is called Ashkandi, it is a sword forged by the Brotherhood of Thorsilver, enchanted as a landslide, and given your past exploits, this sword is yours now."

Bridget took over Ashkandi, which was undoubtedly a top-notch weapon second only to an artifact in quality, and the magic power attached to it was also extremely powerful, far better than Bridget's current weapon.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bridget thanked her for the importance of weapons for paladins and warriors who needed to fight in close quarters.

After handing over the weapon, Claudia spoke: "My general, today I will carry the flag to inspire the morale of the army, and you will lead the army to charge with this sword, and may you bring victory and glory to the alliance." ”

"The mission will be accomplished, Your Majesty." Bridget gave a solemn military salute.

Claudia nodded, and turned to patrol the rest of the camp with her flag, in addition to Ashkandi, who had just been given to Bridget, she also had a large number of magic weapons made by the earth spirits under Azadas, and planned to reward them to the meritorious soldiers after the battle.

She didn't really have any doubts about the outcome of today's battle.

The masters of the Qila Zerg can't leave Angela yet, and what they hate most now is that they are good at making holes.

Beneath the earth lies the countless twists and turns of the Zerg and the many traps of the Qira Zerg, and once mortals enter, they are destined to suffer heavy casualties in the siege of the strata and the swarms, making it difficult for them to be completely eliminated, and it will not be long before they resurge.

But Claudia's army is not just mortals, but also Guardians, who have developed a set of restraint tactics against the ancient gods of Qilazer, an accomplice of the ancient gods, as early as ancient times.

Soon after, the soldiers had been mobilized and put in a neat formation.

Under Revaltin's banner, Claudia looked at Azadas, "It's time to start putting an end to the swarm, Azadas." ”

Azadas understood what she meant, and he raised the hammer of Kazgros and shouted, "Now, face the wrath of the Guardians once again, remnants of the Dark Empire, and the earth, obey my will, and all collapse!" ”

As the words fell, Azadas slammed his hammer to the ground, and a special wave spread forward, repeating the scene of the ancient battle 100,000 years ago.

The earth rumbled and wailed violently, and the caves of the Qila Zerg collapsed one after another, and countless fungus blankets, insect eggs, and alien insects were crushed by the angry earth, and only a small number of Zerg fled from the ground in a hurry.

They were greeted by a legion ready for battle.

Griffons flutter in the sky, knights charge on horseback, magic roars, holy light shines, and the Alliance's victory is assured.

During the whole battle, Claudia did not fight with a sword, and, although she was the nominal commander, she did not participate in the command, knowing that it was not the material, she taught the command of the battle to the Grand Duke Boval beside her.

But Claudia didn't do nothing, she kept holding Revatin, staying in the position of the middle army, and a steady stream of holy light was injected into the battle banner in her hand, which shone on all the soldiers after being increased by the artifact.

Give them reduction, give them treatment, give them confidence, give them courage, give them hope.

That's what Claudia did.

Unlike Claudia, Gianna has been unleashing spells on the front lines.

After another ** snowstorm, another wave of insect swarms was dispersed, and when I looked up, the insects were fleeing frantically, and the Zerg had no power to resist.

Gianna's heart was relieved, and she unconsciously turned around and looked at the big flag behind her, with a flash of light in her eyes.

"Archmage, what are you looking at?" Shirley's voice rang out beside her.

"Look, the light is there."

The dignified Queen of Theramore laughed like a child, pun intended.
