Arthas sat down at the table in his father's tent, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, thoughtful.
It has been more than ten days since the Kingdom of Gilneys/army attacked the Lordaeron Kingdom/army camp, and Arthas has nothing to do in the camp day by day, and there has been no movement in the Wall of Greymane on the opposite side.
Except today.
In front of Arthas lay a parchment that had been spread out; His father, King Terenus, in an almost identical position to his son, was silent as he banged on the table.
"I'm definitely going."
King Terenus spoke suddenly.
"Aren't you worried about some kind of conspiracy Jean is up to?"
Arthas asked.
This parchment letterhead is none other than a letter from King Jean Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilneth to King Terenus.
In his letter, Jean Greymane invited King Terenus to meet him in a safe place in the Silverpine Forest, saying that he had something to discuss with him.
Arthas didn't know if Jean Greymane really had something to tell his father all of a sudden, but it seemed to him that there was a lot of trickery and traps involved.
"What are you afraid of, just go with me."
King Terenus said to Arthas, his eyes fixed on Frostmourn.
Arthas noticed his father's gaze, and only then smiled bitterly and shook his head—his father had been in Lordaeron's palace and had repeatedly said that he could not only use the power of Frost Sorrow and the Red Dragon Queen, or else he would become some kind of lonely king or something...... As a result, he didn't expect that when he arrived in the Silver Pine Forest, he used this power, but he was really not polite at all.
"We'll take Frost, Lady Aurelia and her sisters, and Gianna, and those Gilnews shouldn't be able to play any tricks."
Arthas said to his father.
"Then it's decided, go and prepare, Arthas."
King Terenus seemed excited about the meeting, and he couldn't wait to urge Arthas.
……
The Silverpine Forest had degraded into a thicket not far from the Greymane Wall, and outside the range of the city, in the shadow of a few pine trees, King Terenus and Arthas were waiting.
Not long after the appointed time, the door to the Wall of Greymane slowly opened, and a few figures stepped out of it.
The leader was dressed in black armor and had no weapon around his waist; He looked more burly than the others, as strong as a bear, with a black beard that suddenly turned grayish white at the middle of his broad jaw.
This is none other than the king of the kingdom of Gilne, Jean Greymane; Behind him, there were several strong samurai, who, of course, like Jean, were unarmed.
"Terenus, long time no see."
Jean Greymane walked into the edge of the Silver Pine Forest and saw King Terenus under the tree, smiling warmly and spreading his arms as if to give him a hug.
"Jean, it's been a long time, it's been ......"
King Terenus also took a step forward, intending to get closer to Jean Greymane.
At that moment, Aurelia's face suddenly froze, and she jerked up her right arm, which had already held the Windranger longbow, and quickly pulled an arrow from the quiver at her waist, and shot it into the air.
"The left is mine! There are two more on the right! ”
Aurelia shouted.
"Understood!"
Sylvanas made the same move at about the same time as Aurelia, except that her target was to the right of her position.
Four meteor-like arrows sank into the tall canopy of the pine trees, and soon there was a screeching sound of hitting the leaves, and then four heavy corpses broke out of the pine canopy and fell straight to the ground with a few dull thuds.
"Jean, long time no see."
Unaffected by the sudden change, King Terenus took two steps forward and greeted Jean Greymane cordially—but did not hug him.
Jean Greymane looked stunned, glanced at the corpses that had fallen to the ground, slowly lowered his arms, and remained silent.
These four men were killers sent by Jean - each of them armed with a crossbow and only when King Terenus relented a little, he struck down and assassinated him outside the walls of Greymane.
Two weeks ago, Jean Greymane received news of the defeat of the kingdom/army of Gilneth outside the Greymane Walls, and rushed to the front line without stopping.
However, even the always cunning Jean Greymane did not know how to survive this crisis; After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with a feasible assassination plan - he wrote a letter to King Terenus and waited for an opportunity to assassinate him.
In order to increase the success rate of this assassination, the killers, even before Gene Greymane's letter was delivered to the Lordaeron Kingdom/Army Camp, had laid an ambush in a tree, covering their bodies with a dense canopy to prevent detection.
However, Jean Greymane never expected that these killers had been shot down from the canopy by the High Elf rangers before they could make a move.
Until now, Jean Greymane had been in disbelief - how could those High Elves know where the killers were lurking? And to shoot those killers in the blink of an eye? It's simply ...... It's like I've been preparing for a long time!
A smile of pleasure appeared on King Terenus' lips as he looked at the puzzled look on Jean Greymane's face—of course they knew that Jean Greymane had set a trap here.
Even if those killers can hide the investigation of the Royal Guard of Lordaeron...... Nor could they escape the soul-scarring tentacles of Frost Sorrow.
Little Devil had already reported the location of the Assassins to his master, but King Terenus had decided to execute them in front of Jean Greymane, so it was delayed until now - it was worth the risk to see the ridiculous appearance of his old rival, right?
Arthas didn't know that his father had such a childish idea in his heart—it had frightened him just now—and he had intended to let Frostmourn deal with the killers in advance, but he was stopped by King Terenus.
Luckily, Aurelia and Sylvanas, who already knew the exact location of the killers, lived up to King Terenus's expectations, using their superb archery skills to shoot in an instant.
