Chapter 540: Knight's Code

Arthas Minehir and Varian Wrynn, the two who were once brothers, and the two proudest princes of the Terran Alliance, were finally reunited on this occasion.

There are no excited hugs, no warm greetings, just a calm and somewhat complicated greeting.

And Varian's phrase "Alsace...... King?! ”

It's really full of different irony.

Ironically, of course, Arthas fell into darkness and led the undead to destroy his kingdom of Lordaeron with his own hands, and then crowned himself king without shame.

However, Arthas only shook his head lightly and said calmly, "You still have your people of Storm City, and I also have my land of Lordaeron, why not." ”

There's really nothing left to explain to Varian. When he resolutely pursued Melganis, he went against the ideals of his mentor Uther Lightbringer, and was later ordered by his father to thwart his actions, so he had the idea of "it would be nice if he were the king...... All of these negative emotions have become a tool for the Lich King to fall into his own mind......

Now that the Lich King is dead, Arthas has decided to continue to bear the name of King Lordaeron, but it is not a satisfaction, but a responsibility.

"Humph!" Varian sneered, drew his sword and pointed at Arthas, "Arthas, you really dare to mention this in front of me!" Don't forget, the land of our Storm City has been invaded by you undead! ”

Arthas also sneered, "Oh...... Is it? Seeing your unrelenting attitude towards the tribe, I almost thought that the tribe did it. ”

Varian's expression froze, "Arthas, you're looking for death!" ”

Arthas had his hands pressed on the hilt of Frostmourn's sword standing in front of him, and continued to speak calmly, "Anyway, today, as long as I am here, you won't be able to set foot in Bloodhoof Village for half a step. ”

Varian's breathing was a little heavy, and he said, "When did you undead become lackeys of the tribe?" ”

Arthas shook his head again, then let out a long sigh, "Alas...... Varian, let it go, stop fighting this boring war. The Burning Legion is the root of a war, come with me to the Outlands. ”

At this moment, Arthas finally spat out his true thoughts.

But......

"Boring?!"

Varian looked up and smiled, but could clearly feel the anger in his laughter, "Haha...... Alsace! Bored with the war against the orcs? How dare you say it! If it weren't for your ancestors who fought bloodily in the invasion of the orcs and fought hard to carve out a piece of the world, you would have become their food before you even grew up! Now it's your turn to be a Terran traitor! ”

Arthas was silent. In fact, he knew best how much his father and uncle had valiantly dedicated themselves to the battle of the previous generation of men and beasts, and how much they valued that glory.

That's when it happened

Mass Teleportation!

Gianna took Sylvanas and teleported to Arthas.

Varian glanced at Gianna, then turned to Sylvanas, stunned for a moment.

Similarly, the same goes for Sylvanas...... They stared at each other in silence.

These two men and two women, two human races and two undead people, have complex feelings, which is enough to ...... Make a table of mahjong, play a few rounds first, and then everyone grinds again.

Ahem!

The atmosphere of silence was finally broken by Gianna, who whispered, "Brother Varian, you misunderstood. In fact, Arthas has always been controlled by the Lich King, and it is not his fault. Now the Lich King is dead, so he ......"

"So he's standing here, defending the tribe?" Varian interrupted Gianna and asked sarcastically.

Gianna was in a hurry and hurriedly said, "No, Brother Varian!" The Burning Legion is the source of the war, our alliance should not have a civil war with the tribe here, everyone should put aside their grievances and work together to deal with the Burning Legion. Just like the defeat of Akmund in the Holy War of Mount Hyjal. ”

Varian: "The Burning Legion? …… Don't worry, when I kill the orc tribe, I'll find you, Arthas! Once I've killed your undead scourge, I'll be on my way to the Burning Legion. The honor of the alliance will be defended by me! ”

"Big Brother Varian......"

"Shut up! Call me King Varian! Also, I'm the leader of the alliance now! Varian gave Gianna a fierce look, then at Arthas, "Only a coward would bow his head and unite with his former enemies, and every man of honor will fight against brutality all the way." ”

Arthas was silent for a while, and finally spoke again, saying, "Varian, your way of knighthood is narrow-minded ......"

"The Way of the Knight......" Hearing this word, Varian's face instantly turned pale, and the long sword pointed at Arthas excitedly again,

"The Way of Knighthood...... The Way of Knighthood! Alsace! Do you remember when I taught you how to be a knight? ”

……

Many years ago, a young man in his twenties and a child in his teens, in the palace of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, each holding a sword, spoke intently and reverently.

"Arthas, starting today, you can become a knight full of honor like me."

"Yes! Big Brother Varian! Can I finally become a knight?! ”

"Well, now follow me and take the oath!"

"Okay!"

"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!"

"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!"

"At the moment of the strong enemy, we are not afraid or afraid, we are bold and loyal, we are worthy of the holy light, we are loyal and upright, we would rather die than give in, protect the weak, and we do not violate the principles of heaven!"

“……”

“……”

"I swear to be kind to the weak!"

“……”

"I swear to fight brutality!"

“……”

"I swear to knock down all the mistakes!"

“……”

"I swear to fight for the unarmed!"

“……”

"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help!"

“……”

"I swear I won't hurt women or children!"

“……”

"I swear to help my brother knight!"

“……”

"I swear to be sincere with my friends!"

“……”

"I swear that I will never die for what I love!"

“……”

……

The picture returned to reality, Varian's eyes had turned red, and the sword pointed at Arthas trembled with excitement, "Arthas! You said! I've taught you so much and you've done it...... Which point? ”

The deeper the love, the more it hurts.

Varian, who loved Arthas as if he were his own brother and taught him to grow up with all his heart, suffered more than anyone else what Arthas did later, even more deeply than Gianna and Arthas themselves.

It's just that everything is silently hidden behind his resolute face......

"Arthas! Now, I'm going to teach you one last lesson, dueling! ”
