In this way, Wen Lesa and I paused from noon to evening, except for some villagers who had returned home to farm, and some merchants and carriages transporting goods, but we did not see any suspicious figures, and the long time in such a place where flying insects gathered and my own irritability further consumed my patience, and I slowly slackened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Actually, I can do that. Compared to Luo Ning and Wen Leisa, my role is very small, because the most important thing in this success or failure is whether Luo Ning can explore the information in the city, followed by us peeping here, and observation is Wen Leisa's specialty, after all, whether it is vision or experience, I am far inferior to the role she plays here, at best, as a thug, but if I really meet the target, the enemy may have been shot down by her before I charged. In other words, I don't have to look at the target too seriously, I can desert, that is, think about the warning that Crassus gave me.

He may be right, doing such a thing is not paper to hold fire, as more orcs join the tribe, more and more people will know that Tirioferdin and Teresa are in the tribe, which will let more people know about the two of them. If the news reached Blackmore's ears, it would be tantamount to letting him know what he was doing with the orcs.

And he is cunning, and he can't let me figure out what he really thinks in his heart, which means that I don't know what he will stab me at that time.

"Damn!" I couldn't help but stand up and slam my fist into the hidden giant tree around me in anger, which naturally attracted the attention of Wen Leisa, who was like a statue.

"Arthas, think of your sister again?"

"Sort of. I nodded in response to Winlessa's doubts. Yes, she actually asked that, why don't you discuss this topic with her that also bothers me. And in the face of her sister, I also seem to be able to discuss this question with her: "Do you think your sister will really be as considerate as Gianna said, knowing about my dealings with the orcs?"

"Seriously, I'm not sure, after all, the eldest sister has died in the tribe..."Wen Lesa was also a little embarrassed when she said this, but she quickly returned to the topic. "However, you have chosen to deceive her, and I think she would not have spared you if she had known the truth. ”

"Just as I imagined. ”

Hearing this, I sighed even more guiltily. And bowed his head. Yes, since she was so sure, how could I try to achieve anything other than to return some words of comfort.

"Don't be sad, Arthas, maybe in time she will change. ”

"Yes, for you elves for a long time, maybe for us humans is another concept....decades, hundreds of years are nothing. I said this, and Winlessa didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head.

Yes, maybe this elf, who is three years older than me, seems to have forgotten that her lifespan will be dozens of times that of us humans because she often deals with humans, and she really can't help but sigh after realizing this. Human beings are not like elves who cannot experience the changes and wear and tear of time at all..... but when I think of changes, I seem to think of another kind of change, that is, some major crises that have briefly occurred in recent years, perhaps this can invisibly provide me with a turnaround. That's all I can do to comfort myself.

It is precisely because I think of more tragic things that I no longer become sentimental because of the present.

"All right, Wenlesa. We don't talk about it, I guess we'll have to wait until he arrives. ”

"If you say that, then of course I don't have a problem, and I'm glad to see that you're no longer sentimental. ”

"I hope you'll be able to help ease our relationship then. ”

"Of course. ”

I said this and unconsciously put my hand on my shoulder, and now her face smiled because I was in a better mood. And at this time, it was very coincidental that Ronin appeared in front of me, but I was surprised that I didn't notice his teleportation technique. And to see the nature of us, which no man would seem.

"Okay, Ronin, do you need to listen to me?" I let go of my hand and made an innocent gesture to my friend. And he was a little angry, but this time he still put on that hypocritical look, that is, he buttoned his nose....

"I'd like to hear it, if you like. Luo Ning said, but after seeing Wen Leisa's somewhat angry face, he changed his attitude and returned to his usual appearance, yes, he didn't have any worries, or he might have come early, just taking advantage of this time to appear. "But I think you'd be more interested in hearing from me about what I've brought. ”

"Of course," I returned to seriousness with a straight face, yes, I could only do this at this time, but I found that there was no need, and Wen Lesa approached him calmly, and Luo Ning didn't care about what had just happened close to her and explained to me as usual.

"I've checked their information in the shadows, and they'll be on the edge of an abandoned mine down the hill to the north, answering the orcs over there. ”

"Location...."

"It used to be a coal mine, but now it's abandoned and has become a garrison on the Dunhold Lord's Border, so it shouldn't be hard to find. ”

"This means that they have a certain number of troops, and if the number reaches more than thirty, it will be difficult for a few of us to succeed. Wen Lesa said what she knew, of course, this was a matter of common sense. And my answer, of course, is also common-sense.

"Of course it's against the orcs, I've never thought of dealing with my own people, and they're all loyal to Lordaeron. I said this, but Ronin looked a little disapproving, and said what he had sensed there.

"Alsace, I think Blackmore seems to have made some big moves, and he's actively preparing. ”

"I see...," I seemed to think of something, but that wasn't the point, "I guess we'll have to go to their station first and deal with the orc messengers that might be there." ”

"Yes. Everyone nodded and ran in that direction with me.

I knew that for a lord, the fief was usually very small and a station, which meant that he would not be far from here, and it should be on the main road, so we headed north. It may not be long before we discover the station with the ranger's keen eyesight.

We walked like this, and not long after, an accident happened.

A human on horseback in ordinary clothes came to him, and it was precisely because of his ordinary dress that none of us cared, so Wen Lesa didn't remind him. But when he saw us, I saw the horror he felt when he saw us, and it was clear that he had accelerated.

I don't think there are humans who don't get scared of seeing beautiful elves, and we're not thieves or other threatening creatures, even if we're ornately decorated.

Even if he knew who I was, he would have dismounted to show respect to me. I thought so, but soon I realized something.....

'Even if you know who we are!'

He did this because he recognized my identity, and the horse he rode was clearly a good war horse. These two may have said something....I couldn't help but stir up a cold sweat and made a decision immediately.

"Oh no, shoot him down!"

I urged Winlessa, and she seemed to recognize something in my eyes, so she skillfully drew her bow and shot it through the man's head in the back, while his mount was frightened and fled, but fortunately both the man and the package were left behind.

I didn't care about it and ran straight to his corpse, and I could sense his fear on his face, maybe because of his fear when he heard my orders to the ranger, or maybe after seeing us pay attention to him, he already thought that he would end up like this, and that he might have a chance to run away in a desperate way.

I thought so, and when I opened the letter in his package, I realized that, yes, he knew that he couldn't save his life by begging for mercy. Because that's what worries me the most.

The letter stated that Tirioferdin and Teresa had been exposed. I even heard that the Great Chief had been working with a mysterious and powerful red-haired human mage representing a high-ranking commander of Lordaeron to coordinate the Alliance's forces, and the letter had made it clear that it was very likely that I or my cronies were involved in the orcs, and yes, if an orc had this awareness, then the cunning Bradmore must have done the same.

"It's good that it's useless, and it's completely public. ”

Luo Ning, who was also the object of exposure, said a little lucky, yes, there are only a handful of red-haired mages in the entire human race, and the only one who is considered powerful is him in front of him, but he obviously forgot a detail, and at this time, Wen Lesa reminded him.

"But the people in the station know the secret. ”

"What then!" Ronin asked, and then looked at me with Wen Leisa, of course, unabashedly in front of my trusted friends

"Needless to say, of course, it is to kill those who know. ”

I said as I spoke, my hands already clenched into the hammer.

They are all Lordaeron's disciples, and no one doubts that they will not do their part for our country, and if it were not for the last resort, they would definitely not choose to do so, after all, this secret is really invisible, and it can only make him completely silent. I thought so, and my hand, which had just loosened a little, tightened my grip on my weapon, yes, imagining the scout who had just been shot by Winlessa, I no longer hesitated, and instead thought about the practical problem, how to deal with the infantry of the entire battalion with the three of us.

The single output is not enough, if it is successfully achieved, it must rely on the mage, I thought, and then looked at Luo Ning, and he was still in a state of distraction at this time, yes, even if the enemy he faced alone was Deathwing, this friend with a conscience would not be so hesitant, but at this time, he could not be so unfocused.

"Luo Ning will rely on you for a while, you better cheer up. ”

"Your Highness, do you have any other way?"

I comforted Ronin, but he stopped and whispered as I spoke, and I knew that I had to control Ronin's emotions before that, so I stopped to convince the mage.

"Of course, Crassus can step in and help us eliminate them. I replied calmly, and by this time he seemed no longer silent.

"That's not what I meant!" ”

"Of course I know you don't mean that, but do you think we have another choice?" I asked, but at this point Ronin erupted at me.

"Those are your own people, like us, the Lordaeron soldiers who will be loyal to you in the future. Don't you think it's very bad to shoot at your own people?, and you're all paladins, have you forgotten your declaration at the time?!"

I didn't expect my mage advisor to behave like this, and it looks like I'm going to have to pay attention to this. So I stopped.

"Ronin imagine another outcome, what would be the outcome if the news went viral. ”

"But that's what we do, we have to have the courage to admit our mistakes, even if we are responsible for our own actions, I don't hesitate!" Luo Ning yelled at me, and then said something that touched me a little. "The most they know is that I was in contact with the orcs, and I can admit all my mistakes, including unleashing the Hammer of Doom, and I have a way to get these out of your clean highness..."

"No, Ronin, you can't do that—" Wenlesa immediately lost her voice when she heard him say this. "Why are you still so stupid? "Yes, she knew that if Luo Ning really did this, no one would be able to save him....I couldn't help but sigh at this.

I kind of understand how Kenrito found out how he was killed along with the enemy and his teammates, and it turned out that this stupid guy admitted it himself, otherwise he might have been treated like a hero at that time. Well, he actually had the courage to sacrifice himself for the sake of other people's lives, and it is true that I did not befriend him in vain, but I would never do what he wanted. I'd rather sacrifice all my reputation than lose such a friend, and maybe I should think of other ways to change my mind.

For example, looking for some of Blackmore's faults, and the reasons why those people had to die, or imposing some charges on them, I thought of a real crime that was not intended to be added. That is to use orcs as their own vanguard. But when I thought about it, I suddenly realized that this doubt was a fact in the first place.

Yes, some orcs obeyed him, plus he sent out some orcs to join the tribe, and just now Ronin suspected that he was going to make some big moves, I think these lines add up to collude and become a possibility. That's what he wants to do with the tribe, and yes, I'm thinking about his original intention for adopting Thrall now, just to fulfill his ambitions. I also know how to convince him.

"Okay, Ronin. Let's talk about it slowly. I gathered my thoughts a little, and then recounted to him, "Everyone knows that your relationship with me is like wearing a pair of pants, and if you admit it, it will definitely implicate me and Wenlesa." Maybe I'll get away with being a prince, but that's probably not the case with Winlessa, and even if she escapes the charge, she'll be martyred for you when you're righteous. ”

As I spoke, Winlessa nodded firmly in agreement, and he became silent about it, yes, as long as it comes to the safety of this ranger, Ronin seems to obey anything. So I continued.

"Imagine why Bradmore wanted to keep so many orcs in captivity, why he raised Thrall when he was young, why he sent some of his loyal orcs to join the tribe now, do you think he was a spy planted with them for the Alliance? ”

"You mean. Luo Ning asked, but I've already said so much, I think they already understand.

"Remember what you said he was doing?"

"I think he just wants to unite the tribe to kill us and become King of Lordaeron himself. I asked Luo Ning rhetorically, and he immediately replied and became not so convinced, yes, this guy still has a conscience, and I can only prove it with reality.

"This... Quite possibly, but this one is just speculation. ”

"Of course I'm going to experiment to see if he has this in mind, and who this group of troops is loyal to, and I think if they're loyal to the treasonous Lord Dunhold, you'll help me get rid of them first. ”

"If it's true as you guessed, we're going to wipe out this group. ”

"Very well, let's do this. ”

I whispered my plans to the group, and everyone agreed with my opinion, and I had deep confidence in myself.

That's right, Blackmore actually sent some troops to pick up the orcs, which means that those must be his cronies, and the courier just evaded my eyes, they should be loyal to the drunkard, not Lordaeron. I thought. When everything is confirmed, I believe that Luo Ning will not accept mercy again.

Soon we got to the place, and the number of people should be around forty or fifty. I think with Ronin's spells, I'll be able to destroy them when they get a don. So I went according to the plan.

Ronin used a spell to transform me into Blackmore's form and make my weapon invisible, while he was invisible around me, choosing a better place to cast a group damage spell. As for Wen Lessa, she continued to hide in the distance, responsible for eliminating those who might slip through the net.

I imagined the guy's lewd appearance and walked in, and they were surprised to see me, especially since I didn't have a single guard around. And I didn't say anything, but shouted before they thought about coming.

"Assemble!" no one questioned my orders, and they all came out, and it was only then that their captain began to question me.

"Your Excellency, why don't you have any guards following? ”

"I don't worry about them, after all, our secrets can't be discovered by others. ”

"Your Excellency is wise. ”

The captain was respectful to me, and I motioned for him to be normal, and then I tried to make them as hot as I could, in order to reduce everyone's doubts.

"Needless to say, you must train your troops well. After our great success, everyone will enjoy endless prosperity. ”

"Thank you, sir, but didn't you say let those orcs be the vanguard?"

"Oh, I forgot," I said, and a smile appeared in my heart, yes, this sentence had almost made Luo Ning understand that their ultimate goal was indeed to use the orcs, and as for where to use them, it was easy for them to show it. "But you also have to act like you're going to die, so that they can be effective, and you know who the enemy we are facing. ”

"Of course, but I'm absolutely Lordaeron soldiers in vain, they actually avoided confrontation with the orcs..."He said his opinion without hesitation, yes, I just waited for him. Because this can already prove their true thoughts, as well as some knowledge of us, it is true that this group of people is not simple, but unfortunately it is not my subordinates, and in addition to sighing, I can't help but increase my determination to kill them.

"Well, goodbye then. ”

I said so, and then there was a bend to turn around, and he stooped down with the soldiers behind him to show me respect. Yes, I didn't turn around to leave, but grabbed the hammer hidden by Luo Ning behind me, and smashed the captain's head in an instant without hesitation, yelling at Luo Ning while carrying out the action.

"What are you waiting for!"

Before they could react, a huge explosion was created near them, followed by countless arcane missiles slamming down on the surviving soldiers, and I was quick to resolve the still confused soldiers, while other enemies who tried to escape or tried to sneak up were quickly shot down by the rangers in the distance.

Soon the massacre was over, and only a few people fell to the ground in their last breath. Naturally, we will not immediately attack such enemies, and they will naturally recognize our true identity.

"It's you, Your Highness Arthas....", a soldier groaned in pain, looking like he didn't have long to live. "I know that Lord Blackmore can't fight you. ”

"I'm sorry, but I didn't have to choose it, if you weren't loyal to the evil lord who tried to use the orcs to fulfill his ambitions, I don't think I would have dealt with you personally. I said this, but I was refuted by another older fallen veteran.

"You don't have to say that, you're not trying to use the orcs for your ambitions to unify the alliance. The man sneered, and then another soldier continued his tone. "You only sent that red-haired mage. It seems that you are not as good as Lord Blackmore, he has at least so many of us to trust, and you are only one of them, how lonely it is. Just then Winlessa came out, and another voice continued. "Oh, and there's a big-breasted and brainless elf, be careful when this human prince in front of you will take your Quel'Salas by storm, hahahaha. ”

Bursts of shrill voices rang out. Yes, every word hit us in the underbelly, and to put an end to this sound, I swung the hammer again, and then there was silence here. But a new question bothered me. I turned my head to look at my friends who trusted me, and they were staring at me deeply.

"You believe what they say, and think I'm trying to use them to attack other countries. ”

"Alsace, if it's not at all, I think I'm lying. Ronin tactfully answered the question, for which I need to show my image.

"You think I've changed, become a bloodthirsty guy?"

"Doesn't the death of these human soldiers count?"

"Then I'm going to tell you that I really have that ambition, and I'm telling you I'm lying!" I retorted, Ronin, "I'm not going to ask anyone to do anything. And so is the Hammer of Doom, all the ways I communicate with him are through your hands, and you know I don't put any strings attached to him, I just want him to make peace with us, that's all.

Soon you will find out that their freedom is meaningful to us. And I'll see that day, I promise. "I think of that Brockhiga, yes, he'll see it, if he thinks so too, but what good reason do I have?

I lowered my head, yes words couldn't help but reveal the messiness of my mood, and at this time, Luo Ning approached me, and patted my shoulder affectionately with his hand.

"Your Highness, you misunderstood, I don't think it's wrong to save the orcs, I'm naturally going to do my best in this matter..."He couldn't help but sigh as he said this, and I raised my head to look at my partner when I heard that, but what followed shocked my heart even more. "I just hope you don't lose yourself, I always feel that some of the prophecies that Khadgar has seen are about to be fulfilled. ”

"I see. My heart sank when I heard this, and then I thought of a perfunctory reason, "But there are still the two of you who can stop me, and don't forget that you still have illusions." ”

"yes, I almost forgot. ”

Luo Ning's face instantly showed joy, which made Wen Leisa, who was puzzled on the side, even more puzzled, but seeing him hugging herself excitedly, she didn't ask anything. And for me, it was indeed touching to see my mage advisor think of himself so wholeheartedly, but my heart could not be like his expression, after all, he had no idea the true meaning of the illusion....and I could only expect one thing from them.

"Friendship lasts forever. I hugged them both and smiled at each other.
