Chapter 8: Paladin

His fate will really be like this, to become that cold butcher Lich King. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info When I dreamed of killing my father, King Terenus, in my sleep, I screamed in my sleep and was awakened.

"Oh no...!."

Looking back on that incident, I was covered in cold sweat and felt chill and irony. My actions also alarmed the vigilant Varian, who slept with me, and when he saw me, he could easily think that I was having nightmares because I was afraid of the orc invasion, and he showed disdain for this, and then continued his snoring. And when I saw that he was awake, I wanted to say something to him, but when I saw this, I thought it was better to forget it.

At dawn the next day, when I saw the parade of the warriors of my country before the battle, and the crowd of people who saw them off, my face became solemn again, I was not afraid that they might die heroically, which might be considered an honor, but I was afraid that I would be the executioner of their slaughter, and that this would be the worst outcome, and die on the person I expected.

For this reason, I decided to seek out my mentor and ask him for help in my helplessness. And he was about to follow the army to the battlefield, which was his last chance to say goodbye to him before the general war of the alliance and the horde.

I walked into him, but when I tried to speak my heart, I felt that I really couldn't express what I meant, and at this time my teacher had already spoken to me, and he thought I was saying goodbye to him.

"I didn't expect the prince to bid me farewell, it's a great honor. He replied to me in a subordinate-to-superior manner

I thought Uther was joking with me, but seeing his steadfast and solemn eyes, and the respectful gesture of his right chest guard, I gradually realized that he was serious, and that he thought that the cruelty of war would make him not see the day when he saluted me. Because according to reliable sources, the huge main force of the orcs has been assembled on the opposite shore of the town of Nanhai....

"Will our tomorrow be better?" I thought for a long time before I thought of such a more modest question. After all, it's better not to let your mentor worry about your future at the right moment.

"Of course....as long as you can remember that the Light is with us. Then he mounted his horse and followed his party, and with him was Faric, with his father's permission, and he went with Uther as a guard. He also said goodbye to me, although he really wanted to continue to live with me, but he wanted to be able to keep our home, to keep the future where we can continue to get into trouble together, so he made a victorious V at me and followed Uther's warhorse.

Seeing them go away, I stood on the gate tower for a long time and looked into the distance, until the last team disappeared into the sky. And then I realized that Varian, Tassarian, and Melwin, were right behind me. They are looking into the distance just like me.

"Orcs, seeing such a huge alliance will definitely flee when they see it. "Melwin broke our silence, maybe this friend didn't understand the situation, maybe he really thought so, or maybe he just wanted us to give him a false affirmation to remove the sadness from my face. Prince Varian had no idea what my friend was thinking, and he had seen the brutality and ferocity of the orcs and despised him

"If you do see orcs and think they're vulnerable, you'd be naΓ―ve," Varian said, and my friends were furious at the tone, but they didn't squeak because he was a prince. But he didn't mean to stop, but was even more disdainful of my Melwin and Sassarian's attitude. "You don't even know their horrible, uninformed imps. ”

Varian's face became solemn, obviously not caring about their feelings, perhaps he fantasized about that scene again....the fall of his father, the destruction of the king. But he shouldn't have sarcastically mocked my two friends, perhaps he didn't know which tone was more important than the other.

Again, my two buddies didn't even think that the Witness was telling them the truth, thinking that he was mocking him, and glared at Varian. If they usually saw someone who could say this about themselves, they would definitely stand up and refute it, but the other party was a prince, and the gap in identity really didn't dare to let them trespass.

When I tried to hold my friend from doing this to him, Thassarian and Melvin didn't obey me for the first time, and they tore my hand away and continued to glare at Varian. It was only then that the prince of Stormwind realized that he had just sarcastically mocked them. However, I didn't mean to apologize, but appreciated their performance. Because in his heart he really wanted to see the level of bravery of the little warriors of Lordaeron. So he drew his wooden sword and made a battle gesture towards the two of them.

I didn't know what this prince really thought at this time, but I was afraid that if I really wanted to fight, and if this matter was known to my father, he would definitely expel my two friends if he didn't want any of his people to regard him as a down-and-out prince. So I had to say something to stop this from happening.

"Do you know what punishment will be for letting my father know that you two have neglected the prince?" I yelled at Thassarian and Melwin. For such a threat, my two friends only relented a little. He bowed deeply to the prince of Stormwind and prepared to retreat, but at this time, the Varian soldiers were not happy to let their opponent surrender without a fight.

"I don't mind, I promise that I won't tell anyone about the fight with them, win or lose. Come on, warriors of Lordaeron, and show me what you are capable of, and you can go together. ”

Seeing Varian's heart, I seemed to understand what the prince was thinking, and he wanted to vent his hatred. So he turned to him.

"Varian, if you think that it would be a relief for your hatred to be unleashed on our kindred?"

"I just wanted to see if you Lordaeron warriors could really fight orcs. ”

"If you think that our kingdom of Lordaeron is not yet capable of resisting the orcs, then what are you fleeing to us for? ”

"Because I want revenge, they killed my father and destroyed my country. Varian's eyes were murderous. And his answer shocked me, this prince has been blinded by hatred.

"We are not born for revenge, life exists for its own continuation and continuation. And that's what we have now, and the orcs trampled on her, so we will be victorious. But if we are to be multiplied by the seeds of hatred in our hearts, then we are no different from them, and we will eventually be annihilated in hatred. ”

"To put it mildly, if your kingdom falls and your father is killed, can you still teach me so calmly?"

I hesitated to hear Prince Varian's taunts of me, not because I thought of some predetermined future, but because I thought I was timid. At this time, my two buddies could no longer bear it, so they drew their wooden swords from training. And that's what makes Varian excited.

"Come on, come along, let me see what kind of strength you guys are standing and talking without backache.

"Stop," I scolded again, and my eyes returned to Varian. "They used to make mistakes because of me, and it was your father's personal intercession that kept them and stayed with me. ”

"That's why you're scared?" Varian didn't budge, I knew he was determined to fight us. Or I don't have to talk nonsense with him anymore.

"I'm not going to let them make any other mistakes, and of course I'm not going to run away from them, you're only going to have me. Prince Varian. ”

"That's right....let me see if you're in vain. With that, Varian drew his wooden sword and charged at me, and I swung it in unison. Although the prince of Stormwind was not an adult, his strength was far greater than that of the younger me, and when the two wooden swords collided, his strength nearly knocked my weapons away. Realizing that my strength is insufficient, I want to take advantage of my agility by being shorter, but the result is far from me, Varian is very proficient in swordsmanship, just stealing some swordsmanship, I can have any advantage in agility, and my two moves will not have any offensive, and can only turn to passive defense. Actually, Varian can defeat me as a newbie with just a few moves, but he seems to enjoy it more because he wants to destroy my will before defeating me.

My buddy also understood the situation I was fighting with him, so he cheered me on, and I also realized that it was more than just a game, because I knew that if I lost, what I just said would not be convincing either. So I have to persevere, at least not lose in my beliefs. But at this moment, the wooden sword in my hand, which had suffered a great blow, was suddenly cut in half by Varian's wooden sword of the same quality.

"Seriously, you're really strong, Arthas, but that's not enough, the gap between us is too big. You are no match for me at all. And your warriors are no different, not as good as us in Stormwind. "Varian boasted that his country's military might was stronger than ours, but he didn't have a smile on his face, because he really believed in his heart that his allies couldn't defeat the enemy who destroyed his country.

It was only then that I understood the prince's thoughts, so I threw away my broken sword and reached out to Thassarian, who understood my thoughts, and threw the second-class wooden sword in my hand into my hand and continued my battle. I know that I can't afford to lose at this time, and it's acceptable to say that my country's military strength is not as good as that of Stormwind, but if someone gives up hope in their race, then they can't agree.

"Arthas, it's useless, you can't beat me. Varian shook his head at me. He didn't even want to fight me, after all, this prince didn't want to hurt me by mistake. But I definitely can't appreciate it. for I will bring him down. Also, I have to make some sense.

"I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean I won't fight. I have the power in my hands that my companions expect, and this is the best weapon to defeat your enemies and you, my friend! "Saying that, I used the last of my strength to rush towards Varian, and with my wish, the power of the Holy Light did not feel spread to me and my weapon, Varian still showed disdain at first, but when he found that my body was shining with golden light, he realized that this time was different from just now, so he hurriedly picked up the wooden sword to block. But this time when our wooden swords collided again, this time it was the sword in his hand that was knocked away, and the same force of the impact that the Light gave me knocked Varian to the ground. And when he was puzzled by this, I stretched out my hand to him and motioned for him to pull him.

Feeling the greatness of the Light's power this time, he accepted my help and stood up, with a smile on his face that he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Yes, we still have faith. Arthas, you have shown me the power of the Lordaeron warriors, and we will be victorious. ”

Seeing such a scene, my two friends snuggled up to us again, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness that had just happened. Shin accepted Prince Varian as a friend. I was also very pleased to see their smiles, and likewise, I understood something when I thought of my own persuasion of him. As I said, maybe I'll still be the Death Knight, but if I live up to my faith and contribute everything I can to it, I'll gladly accept the fate that was destined to happen to me even if I fail.

It was at this time that I realized that my father was quietly watching what was happening here. And he came to me at this time.

"You're doing a great job, I'm so proud of you, my kid. ”

"I may not be that good, I may be a butcher, Uther is so worried about me...."My voice grew quieter, and it was as if those courage had disappeared in front of my father.

"He's never said that about you. He said you would be a great king. And I trust through this that his judgment of you will not be wrong, my child. ”

"I don't want you to become a great king in Alsace anytime soon. Varian glanced at Tyrenus, and it quickly became clear to everyone what he meant, knowing that it would come with bad news, and that what he really meant was yet to come. "But I want you to be a great paladin. ”

"I'll remember....thank you, my friend," I hugged him, and he also extended his arms.

On the way back to the palace, I pondered for a moment, and thought back to the Death Knight, and I thought about it in my heart, and I was firm in my belief in the Light

I felt my strength go up even further. Some of the concerns about the future have gradually disappeared. And Varian has strengthened his confidence in victory, and is always looking towards the day when he can charge into battle, as our profession often says.

β€œ... The Light is with me!"
