Chapter 45: The Aftermath

The search continued, and the search area grew larger and wider, reaching deeper into the surrounding mountains.

Although Gianna has never been found, it also indicates that her chances of survival are high, and some people have even speculated if she used some kind of powerful teleportation magic to stay away from here, after all, mages do have similar magic.

Although Bridget wanted to enter the mountains and forests, she was arranged by the church to stay in the camp because her body had not fully recovered.

"It's too dangerous in the mountains, it's better for you and Sally to stay in camp." Song Zheng also didn't want her to enter the mountains and forests, he knew better than anyone else that the enemies this time were not just the syndicate thieves hiding in the Alterac Mountains.

"Paladins can retreat when they see danger." Bridget insisted.

"Haven't you become an official paladin yet......"

"You ......" Bridget glared at Song Zheng angrily, but she seemed to remember something, and immediately asked in surprise: "Hmph, I still want to ask you, when did you, the hunter guide, become Princess Gianna's entourage?" ”

"This ...... It was not long before I became a princess Gianna in Lutalenmere, and she saw that I was a powerful and martial artist, so she hired me to be her temporary bodyguard. Song Zheng sneered, and finally made up an excuse.

"Che, Princess Gianna is a genius mage, she will need you to protect her?" This time, it was Sally who expressed disdain, but perhaps because she was worried that Song Zheng would be hit, the kind little priest immediately said with some hesitation: "Hmm...... You have a little bit of strength. ”

"Genius mage? You're not going to be a fan of Princess Gianna......" Song Zheng laughed dryly, remembering that Sally Whitemayne had said that she wanted to be a mage.

"Yes, Princess Gianna is the idol of many people, this time there are thieves who dare to sneak attack Princess Gianna, and the Holy Light will definitely punish them." Sally admits this very directly.

Song Zheng wasn't sure if the Holy Light would punish those sneak attackers, but he was sure that the paladins would definitely deal with the syndicate thieves.

The search lasted a day, and after still not finding Gianna, the large army had to leave the area and return to the city, leaving only a small patrol force in the wilderness to deal with the aftermath of the burial of the body.

After all, if you want to enter the Alterac Mountains to kill the Syndicate thieves, you need to be well prepared.

Song Zheng also returned to Talenmir with everyone, and Karen's guy regarded him as a real Gianna's retinue, and at the same time a witness to this disaster, so naturally he would not let him leave, so he personally brought people to protect him twenty-four hours a day.

Song Zheng didn't know what the situation was now, and he didn't know if Gianna was missing in the history of Warcraft.

But now, with Gianna's disappearance, the situation around her has immediately become extremely tense.

Tarummere, for example, was already on high alert, with at least twice as many guards in the streets, and a constant patrol of cavalry around the city, almost everyone could feel that special oppression.

And since returning to Talenmere, Karen's face has never looked better.

As the commander of the first unit to arrive at the scene of the battle, he had to be questioned one by one by the top brass in Tarummere.

Song Zheng also failed to get peace, and had to follow Karen around as 'Gianna's retinue' to explain.

This made Song Zheng quite depressed, and sure enough, after telling a lie once, he needed to continue to tell countless lies to cover up.

But with the ring engraved with Arthas's name in his hand, no one doubted his identity.

A few days later, in the luxurious manor of Karen's family, Song Zheng, who had just considered whether to find an opportunity to leave here, saw Karen with a depressed face again.

"I just came back from the mayor, there is news from the royal capital, the king attaches great importance to this matter, and has asked the Knights of the Silver Hand to send elites to find His Royal Highness Gianna, and by the way, clean up the remnants of the Alterac Kingdom, the leader may be the great lord Alexandros Mograini, and Dalaran has also taken action, a large number of mages are rushing over, and even the archmage Antoni Das may come in person, but the most troublesome is Kurtilas...... The angry admiral had already personally arrived at Nanhai Town with a huge fleet. Karen smiled bitterly, he, the captain of the knights, was still a figure in Tarunmere, but compared to these big people, he couldn't even speak.

Song Zheng was also secretly surprised, Gianna's identity was special, and the safety of one of her people affected the three human kingdoms, and perhaps only the Cursed Church dared to make a move against Gianna.

However, what he couldn't understand was that the people of the Cursed Church at that bridge did not continue to chase after him, and more importantly, ...... The Church of the Damned has no reason to keep Gianna alive!

"This doesn't follow the script at all......" Song Zheng sighed secretly, so it was difficult for him to avoid risks by relying on his advantage as a traverser.

"As soon as the Silver Hand troops arrive, they will definitely go into the mountains to encircle and suppress those syndicate thieves, why am I so unlucky, I finally became the knight captain of Talenmir for less than half a year, and this kind of thing happened." Karen cried and collapsed in her chair.

Song Zheng is indeed deeply sympathetic to this guy, and it is indeed difficult to deal with this kind of thing at his age.

However, if you can't even deal with this kind of thing, then in the near future, when you face the undead disaster, I'm afraid you will have to run away.

"At this time, it is definitely impossible to escape, it is better to be brave and resolute, take the initiative to participate in the battle, and maybe you can get a lot of feats." Song Zheng suggested.

"It's easy for you to say, it's a snowy mountain, the horses can't go at all, it is said that once the fingers are exposed, they will be frozen, and they can't wear armor, you know, those syndicate thieves are likely to have organic crossbows in their hands, and I'm afraid they will be shot to death halfway by then." Karen sighed.

"So serious? How was the kingdom of Alterac defeated before? Song Zheng asked in some surprise, because he had taken refuge in the orcs before, after the defeat of the orcs, the kingdom of Alterac was completely destroyed by the Lordaeron Alliance.

Karen immediately shook her head and said, "In the past, it was the mages of Dalaran who did it, but they could only use magic to destroy the city built by the Alterac Kingdom in the middle of the mountain, and there was no way for those who hid in the Great Snow Mountain, so there are so many Syndicate remnants now." ”
