Aside from this inexplicable thing, everything seemed fine, and along the way, the werewolves almost disappeared, which means that they seemed to have fulfilled their promise and left here. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but as a precaution, every time I arrived at a fortress, I did not immediately let the villagers who had gathered here return to their homes, but made such a decision to go home after going to inspect the surrounding situation with the soldiers stationed there.

In the midst of this, I am also secretly glad that it is these werewolves who are still human to harass our people, and it may be bad if they are replaced by undead who do not know, because the plague is much more contagious than werewolves.

Just as I was thinking like this, I vaguely remembered that the virus of werewolves can also be transmitted to people, but I don't know why, it seems that I haven't heard anyone mention any reports of werewolves infecting each other, and I haven't heard of anyone who will become a werewolf after being bitten by a werewolf, maybe because Arugao hasn't studied it yet, and if it's true, then I should be glad to have it.

I thought so, but I wasn't too happy about it, because the external threat had already appeared, and although the undead had been suppressed by us, Medivan had said that the Burning Legion would attack our world in a more violent way, which meant that after the Catastrophe, the next time we would see the demons of the Burning Legion, not these minor characters.

If luck had been good, even if the birdman had misjudged, and the ancient god that Anubrak had spoken, the wormman seemed to be worried about something more terrible than the undead.

Perhaps all of the above are possible, but even if they don't appear for the time being, or at best they are imaginary, I still can't feel comfortable because there is a threat that has been in our world for a long time has returned to ---- Deathwing. That cunning black dragon definitely doesn't want to see a strong and righteous Lordaeron, or a powerful human kingdom that is not controlled by him, and what I have done to the cubs of the black dragon, then he will not let us go 'in public or private', at least not in me...

"Arthas, are you still thinking about those things?" Sylvanas, who was sitting on the same horse as Gianna, noticed a cold sweat on my face and asked me.

"No, Sylvanas, really, I really, don't have the kind of thoughts you say, really—" I nervously repeated the points, wiping my sweat to correct my attitude, an explanation that would make them even more suspicious.

"I believe in your promise to us..."Gianna wondered, perhaps realizing that I wasn't thinking about how to get the elders to accept Sylvanas, "but you seem to be thinking about something else, or something threatening. ”

"I was worried about the prophet's warning to me. ”

"The crow's mouth?" Sylvanas had heard the two of us talking in Northrend that time, and she seemed to know something about it. "Arthas, you shouldn't worry about the unpredictable future now, we just need to take every step, let's first... Let's go against Gilneth first. ”

"Sylvanas?" I realized at this time that she was a little sad, yes, she should have needed some courage at this time, but I didn't think about her situation, but thought about things that wouldn't happen for a while, and I looked at her apologetically, and took her hand, hoping that she didn't take the pressure to heart.

"It's all right, Arthas. ”

"I know you can do it, and I promise that my father will accept you as he did Gianna. ”

As I spoke, Gianna put her hand on her palm, giving her comfort.

"Yes!"

...............

And so, two days later, as planned, we arrived at the north gate of the royal city, and on these broken walls, I seemed to be able to imagine the fierceness of the battle. But luckily we had to persevere. Moreover, the open gates, the orderly patrolling troops, the passing citizens, and the builders who were not rushing to repair the walls showed that the war had long since left the place.

Seeing that it was my return, the soldiers and civilians also showed amusement, as if they did not mistakenly believe that they had not returned to defend the royal city because they had escaped the war, as I feared.

Apparently someone had told them what I was doing in Northrend, and he was right in front of me.

"Ronin!" I dismounted, laid down my weapon, and went to hug him, yes, after all I had been through, I really missed this mage advisor, and Sylvanas did the same thing as me, except that she hugged her only surviving sister, Winlesa. Yes, watching the two of them cry to each other, it also somewhat confirms that Luo Ning and they have had a very difficult time during the period of defending the city.

"Arthas, it's hard for me to imagine that you people could destroy that demon. ”

We let go of each other and got back to business, which is to ask each other about each other.

"It's complicated, we'll talk about that later... Now I would like to hear about the situation now and in Gilneth. ”

"The enemy has almost completely withdrawn to the original border area, but there are still a few scattered in the Tirisfara glades and the border with Quel'Thalas, and I'm sure you've already encountered some. ”

Ronin pointed in the direction we came, obviously he had judged what might have happened to me, but there were some things they might not have thought of.

"That's right, and I persuaded most of them to go to the Western Continent. ”

"The western continent, Kalimdor as the letter says, I can't imagine you being able to convince them to go there, why do you have a soft spot for it. ”

"Because it's our Alliance's last refuge, I'll have to send some people to explore it before a new enemy emerges, just in case. ”

As I spoke, Ronin grumbled a little, for my eyes had already told him that I would delegate this task to him, and he made no secret of his will:

"Oh, no, I thought you wouldn't have left according to the suicide note when you came back safely..."Luo Ning said this abruptly, perhaps because he realized that he had accidentally revealed something...

"Suicide note?"

Except for Gianna, who was in the know, almost all of the partners showed doubts, but thinking of everyone's experience, it seemed that there was nothing too surprising. Similarly, I was also surprised that Luo Ning kept this matter so secret, because she didn't know about it.

"I suppose you didn't even tell Wen Lessa?"

"I saw it on the ship and wanted to come back and stop you, but I thought you might know something about the future, and I was worried that someone else would know the secret of your letter, so I didn't, and I haven't made it public. ”

"So... You didn't listen to my instructions, and you didn't open my letter when you returned to the mainland, but opened it immediately!"

I rebuked Ronin in an angry tone, and while I wasn't surprised that he would do this, I was able to suppress him so that he could accept his plan to explore Kalimdor. But at this time, he suddenly changed the subject with interest and gave me some honorific titles.

"I think your father would really like to see you, and you haven't been back for a long time, haven't you?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, and my face became a little solemn. And this also directly affected Luo Ning's mood. "You, what's wrong?"

"I may have to report something else to his old man, and I hope he will be considerate of me. I said with some seriousness, but thinking that it might affect Sylvanas's confidence, I immediately regained my determination to pull all my friends together. "I think we should all go together!"

"Well..."Ronin also replied with a straight face, I think he should not know that what I was trying to tell about me and Sylvanas, but I still transmitted my feelings to him, so his face froze, even more embarrassed than Sylvanas's, I think that if I were ordinary, I might care about this detail of him, yes, he shouldn't have a more dignified face than me, but for now, I only care about how to explain this to my father. Especially when I saw that my father and mother had now come to us as well.

"Arthas, you have returned safely. ”

"I heard from Ronin that when you and Gianna were going to face this plague and the werewolf behind it alone, how worried your father and I were, thank goodness you were okay. ”

"I'm sorry to worry you so much. "Gianna and I were on our knees, yes, her place was already certain to them. However, they also seemed to look at Sylvanas calmly, which made her a little embarrassed. I also feel that it is a bit bad to just let the two of us make such a gesture, so I think I should skip this matter first. "I guess we'd better go home first. ”

"Yes. ”

In this way, we talked about some feelings while walking, because we were worried about leaking the news, so we didn't talk about business, just chatting and understanding the experience of this time. When we entered Miyagi, we began to express our opinions and questions.

"Arthas, how did you discover that the plague and werewolves are inextricably linked. ”

"It's because they and the people behind it are another evil and huge organization called the Burning Legion, and the orcs invaded this world as their plot. ”

"Exactly as Antonio guessed, so you defeated their head in the north on that continent when you broke away from the main force?"

My father asked proudly, but I didn't smile because I knew that things were not as good as my father thought.

"In fact, the person behind this plague and the werewolf incident is even one of them, although we have killed the mastermind behind this time, but we will encounter similar characters in our world in the future. ”

As I said this, my father frowned violently when he heard this, and there was no smile in his tone, and I felt that I might have done something wrong, such as such a situation that is not conducive to me to explain my relationship with Sylvanas....

"If it's really a small character who can make our world so messy, then why don't the best of them just show up?"

"That's because their power is too strong to cross our world, so their real purpose is to let their leader into our world, and that's why that raven mage believes that this threat is unavoidable, so he warns you to lead our people to the western continent. ”

"Where can you hide from the threat?" asked my father with concern

"No, that would unite the other races of that continent against their invasion. Or that the chances of survival are better. "I said so, I think I can only say this, and such words will not convince his old man at all, and I also do not want this in my heart....

"....We cannot afford to lose our homeland as a last resort. The father pointed to the whole city, yes, although it was a little dilapidated after this war, he still saw the prosperity of the place, and the appearance of the citizens living in peace. "Our people won't want to leave their homes either, as with this werewolf invasion. Even in the most dangerous times, no one fled here. Because they all know that this is the strongest fortress of the entire human kingdom. ”

"I don't want us to leave, so I'll have to nip the enemy's attempts in the bud, and I'll have to form a powerful alliance to defend against threats greater than werewolves and plagues. I said with a little murderous on my face, but except for Luo Ning, who was shocked, no one seemed to feel that I was thinking like this, or that there was nothing wrong with me acting like this.

I didn't notice Ronin's movements, but my father noticed them and looked at Sylvanas. Yes, everyone understands that what I mean at this time is to annex more territories, and things like this, which should have been discussed privately by our own people, have been 'made public' by us like this, which really makes his old man feel worried.

And when it comes to insiders, in the eyes of his father, Gianna has been completely counted. The same goes for Muradin and Winlessa, but as for Sylvanas, a current elven ranger general, he does have to think about it, and I'd better explain it.

"They are all my cronies. ”

Hearing me say this, my father turned to her, and this indirectly passively led us into the topic I was thinking about, but to my surprise, he also knew about it.

"Quel'Salas Ranger General Sylvanas?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but there will be no such title in the future, for I will be playing for Lordaeron and Arthas. ”

"Effectiveness?" the father asked, "I think it's probably more than that. ”

"Father..."

I didn't expect him to ask like that, and it was completely unexpected, and I tried to explain it for her, but I was stopped by the gesture

"I've heard some rumors, yes, to be honest, as a father, I'm glad that my son can have more good people of the opposite sex who can be loyal to him, but if it's a woman, it's not necessarily the case, for example, I don't want Varian to suddenly know that when he and my daughter are about to get married, there is a woman around him who is attracted to him and recognized. ”

"But it's not the same because that's what I want, and Sylvanas is still my sister. Without waiting for Sylvanas to bow her guilty head, Gianna retorted to my father, "And I will persuade my father that you will first accept Sylvanas with the two of us... I would like to share everything I have with her. ”

"Son, I'm really glad you tolerated my son to do this, but you and I both know your father's admiral's style, and Arthas has undoubtedly angered his bottom line by doing so, and I don't want to ruin such a close relationship between our two countries because of this..."

As my father spoke, it was clear that Gianna's words had not shaken his thoughts..... and I knew what I had to show as I looked at Sylvanas, who was a little distressed.

"Father, this is our business, we should make the decision, and I will keep her with me no matter what, no matter what!"

I also got up against it, and my subconscious made a movement of putting my right hand on the hilt of my sword. I didn't have the slightest desire to draw my weapon, but it was enough to show my determination.

Maybe if it were someone else, the guards might have taken me down when they saw me behaving like this, but I'm sure no one would think that I really raised my weapon, especially when everyone was still laughing just now...

"Arthas, you think of me as Daylin first, I don't know if you're going to say that when you're facing him?"

"I know he's going to be very angry, I'm going to face him myself....but I want you to accept her here first, not to be rejected now, Father, we've been through a lot, and we know what to cherish. ”

We argued, and this attitude made everyone nervous, perhaps no one expected such a thing to happen to us, and Sylvanas's expression was even more shaken....

"Arthas, I'm still—" The sigh on her face seemed to make her give up a little, maybe she wanted to say sorry to me and leave, but Gianna stopped her and didn't do that... But who can keep it for how long? To change this, some choices have to be made, such as mobilizing partners to threaten....but as for the effect, I really don't know, or there is a better way.

"Father, do you think I can't give up anything for her?" I said, but his face became more severe, which was more detrimental to the resolution of the conflict, and only made us more antagonistic... Yes, the long war has made me forget that there is another solution besides coercion, and that is to request. Looking at my father's sighing expression, I felt a burst of heartache from time to time, and this feeling made my heart unconsciously kneel on the ground.

"Please fulfill it, it is not easy for her to take this step, and you must not allow her, the sister of the former League hero Aurelia, to be abandoned by us. ”

"Arthas...", my father pulled me up, and the queen mother had already gone to Sylvanas to hug her, yes, she was much older than us in terms of age, but now she was treated like a daughter, although Sylvanas was a little uncomfortable at first, but her heart still wanted to accept such a hug....yes, this conflict could be solved by request, not by forced persuasion.

"Father..."

I was helped up by his old man and turned to Sylvanas as an elder, and he smiled with concern when he saw her weeping bends.

"General Sylvanas, when I was a child, you were already a famous Ranger General in Quel'Thalas, but now I may call you a junior. ”

"That's my pleasure... Your Majesty. ”

My mother helped her up, and she actually showed a guilty look at this, and my father took advantage of this opportunity to get closer.

"I think we'll get used to it, but I don't think it's going to be long before you don't have to call me Your Majesty..."

"Well..."

"Until then, I'll give you the same position as Quel'Salas, the reserve guard, and I hope you'll train them to become human rangers, and of course you can come and go as you please, just like your sister Winlessa, who treats this place as if it were your own home. ”

"Thank you, Father. "I couldn't hold back before Sylvanas could speak, and walked up to them with excitement, yes, this is the result I wanted, and it was the result that my father wanted...

He also wanted to keep Sylvanas with me, but he was concerned about the possible frenzy when he met Daylin in the future, so he had to rebuke us first, and justify it in this way, saying that it was beyond his control. And not only that, he must also recognize Sylvanas's thoughts through his own knowledge, let her know her future position, and win her relationship, etc.

That's what I thought, and that's how reality continues.

"Child, when you went south to conquer the Black Rock Mountain, I realized some extraordinary friendship and trust between you, at that time I had already noticed that your relationship may be very unusual, at first, I was very puzzled how you got acquainted, but after hearing that you summoned the red dragon to help you, and even the red dragon queen, I realized that your relationship may be much bigger than I thought..."

Hearing this, I wanted to come forward to explain these things, but in the end my father signaled me not to say anything first, and his face did not smile for too long because of the boasting to me, but sighed. "But I want you to be right to Gianna in your heart and her place in our future at Lordaeron, and I don't want the future Queen of Lordaeron to be wronged, because I feel like we owe Kul Tiras too much. ”

"Your Majesty, I think I have gained my place in the heart of His Highness Arthas, you need not worry. ”

Gianna was the first to answer her father's concerns, and nothing could be more convincing than this, just in need of something from me

"I see what you mean, I promise that I will never fail my oath to Proudmoore, and where she is in my heart...", I said, and a boulder in my heart was also secured, yes, my father's plan to accept Sylvanas was successful, and the next step was for the Admiral to accept it, but at the same time I had a more practical task ahead of me. "Father, I think it's time for us to go to the front now. ”

"Why don't we have a meal together and leave tomorrow?" asked the mother, lovingly, obviously she wanted to know more about them, but I thought there would be time for that.

"More and more of Gilneth are being transformed into werewolves, and the sooner we attack them, the sooner we can clear this dark magic and end this war. As I said this, seeing that my father wanted to keep us, I once again preemptively voiced my concerns, "I'm worried that Arugao hasn't developed a contagious werewolf virus yet, and if he succeeds, it will be a big threat." ”

"Arthas, then you go, and Gianna, and bring me the letter I have to your father, and I hope that he will support you in being together like I do. ”

"Yes. ”

Gianna took the letter, and bowed with us, and I turned south with my companions, and the guards who had returned from the north.
