Chapter 12: The Dusty Past I

The Riptide Fort in the early morning was particularly beautiful in the dawn light, and the cold air wafted with a thick smell of blood, but it had gradually faded, and at this time, the Arathi Plateau could already feel the arrival of winter.

The soldiers of Fort Riptide leaned against the dilapidated city walls, on which the flags of red fists were fluttering in the wind, but they could only show a sense of dilapidation, and at this time, a faint mist had enveloped Fort Riptide.

There were about fifty people at the entrance of this ancient castle, all of them covered in armor, holding long swords that had long been worn out, although they were very worn, but the smooth surface of the blade could be seen to be well preserved, these soldiers were the last essence of Riptide Castle. It is also in this already dilapidated kingdom that this is the last power.

Prince Garin wiped the blood from Torbain's great axe, and at his feet was an ogre, which he had caught in the process of escaping and was hacked to death at the city gates. Behind the prince were dozens of soldiers and a heavily guarded Laurena and Miss Geral.

Laurena frowned slightly, looking at the back of her cousin Prince Garin, with a look of disgust on her face, but Miss Geral, who was next to her, was expressionless.

Prince Garin picked up Torbain, also known as the Troll Slayer, a legendary weapon that has been passed down for centuries in Fort Riptide, and has written a glorious stroke in the history books for the establishment of Fort Riptide. Another meaning of this great axe is that it is the owner of Riptide Castle.

He turned to look at Laurena behind him, a sneer on his face.

"I really didn't expect that Stormwind would let my dear sister come to my royal court." Prince Garin strolled over, he was dressed in heavy iron armor, holding Torbain, and he was imposing, but his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and there were a few drops of blood on his face, which gave a very bad impression at first glance.

At this moment, he had walked up to Laurina's side, grabbed the girl's wrist, and made the girl let out a scream. He hated the woman in front of him a long time ago, but now it doesn't matter, he's a king.

"I'm your sister, please be respectful." Laurina's scream made many soldiers look over, she had to restrain herself, the somewhat strange man in front of her was really her brother, this time made her a little nervous, her chest rose and fell slightly, obviously very angry.

"Let go, she's from the Cathedral of Light." Jayla stepped forward and shouted.

Prince Garin let go of his hand, and then said slowly: "Ao, Ao, of course, but I just communicated with my sister just now." ”

"I don't mean anything else, it's just that I need you to stay for a few days after I slay the ogres and regain this great achievement of Riptide Castle, how about it?"

This made Laurina's body tremble slightly, she had wanted to leave every day since she came to this castle, but now Prince Garin wanted to keep her at Riptide Castle. Thinking of the rumors that Prince Garin killed his father, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart.

Although she also longs for the throne, it is not worth mentioning compared to life.

"Two people who have come from afar, I, as the king of Riptide Castle, of course want to entertain you." Garin handed Tolbaine to the soldier beside him, and then said, "Now that you have seen the great power of the soldiers of Rapidsburg, your heart must be full of shock, tonight, it is better to stay and entertain you." ”

Laurena trembled with anger, but she didn't know what to do, and at this moment, Miss Gera interjected: "Your Highness, there is something that you must understand, the Kingdom of Stormwind has sent us to Lordaeron as an envoy. ”

"That's the way you talk to the king? I recovered Fort Riptide today and drove out the ogre. Isn't my merit enough for you to stay? Garin snorted coldly and continued in a stern tone; Jack, bring them back to Riptide Castle. ”

A black-robed soldier led a dozen soldiers to the past and surrounded the two girls.

A faint ray of sunlight pierced through the city gates, sprinkling on the soldiers, and along with this rays of sunlight, there was a silver light.

It was an ordinary longsword.

Prince Garin didn't expect that a long sword flew in from the top of the city wall, and even the guards behind him didn't react.

The sword was already inserted into the floor, trembling slightly, making a "clang" sound.

Garin's face turned red, and at the same time he inhaled a breath of cold air, if this sword was shot at him just now, then the consequences are unimaginable, he roared hoarsely: "Where did the clown who ran out dare to offend the king." ”

Laurena was stunned by the sight of someone in Riptide Castle who would attack the king. In this castle, Riptide Fort has a total of thousands of soldiers, as well as 4 elite knights.

If it was a man who attacked the king, he would surely die. Although the Syndicate had sent Assassins to assassinate Prince Garin, no one had dared to confront Prince Garin head-on in Riptide Castle.

Laurena looked at the city gate in amazement, only to see that under the sun, Locke was walking slowly, holding an ordinary long sword, with a chill in his eyes.

A flame burned in Locke's heart, the ogre corpse at the feet of Prince Garin was supposed to be his soldier, but he died at the gate of the city walls, and as a man, of course, he did not allow the women he knew to be bullied in front of him, even if it was a king.

The soldiers made a way for Locke, and they began to talk.

"Leave Laurina." Locke walked into the city gate and said coldly, "Otherwise, my next sword will not be stuck in the ground." ”

Garin stared at Locke with resentment in his eyes, and the sword at his feet was shaking in the rock: "Very good, guard, your actions just now have doomed you to death." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Either go to my prison or die here."

Locke snorted coldly, and then said slowly: "King of Riptide Castle, I want to duel with you, and you have the right to refuse. ”

This sentence made Garin dumbfounded, he didn't expect this lowly guard to actually want to duel with him, which made his lungs explode: "You are a guard who is not at the elite level, and you actually want to challenge the king." ”

"Jack, you go deal with him."

After saying this, Prince Garin said with a cold light in his eyes: "You are bent on looking for death, but you can't complain about me." ”

Locke smiled indifferently, although he knew that this father-killing guy had some mental defects, but he was so irritable that he could be said to be brain-dead.

Locke took out a long sword from his waist, held the two swords in his hands, and then said indifferently: "Your Highness, before the duel, I want to ask, it is rumored that the previous king of Riptide Castle was killed by your Highness, is there such a thing?" ”

Locke said this slowly, and the city gate, which had been noisy, became extremely quiet in an instant, except for the rustling of the branches of the trees in the street.
