Outside the harbor of Stormwind, a dilapidated fleet of ships was moving slowly, the waves on the sea were not weak, although they were already close to the port, but the howling wind still blew the flag that had been burned by the flames. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Barrett stood on the dirty deck and stared, his face unusually serious, as a scrawny man passed by him, covered in rags and coughing from time to time.

Frowning and dodging the man, Barrett was a little anxious, he took more than 5,000 people with him when he left, and after experiencing storms, diseases, orc dragon knights, and pirate harassment at sea, even three ships were lost, and nearly half of the personnel were lost!

Even a small nobleman's family was swept to the bottom of the sea with the ship in another storm.

The morale of the fleet was extremely low, and there was more than one riot on some ships, and although the nobles' guards were finally suppressed, the commotion persisted. Even more troubling is the running out of supplies.

In order to escape the orc navy, they crossed the Endless Sea to the city of Thorntooth in Camlidor, and after a short stop, they crossed the Endless Sea again to the coastline of the Eastern Kingdom.

The road was full of vast seas, and there were no islands that could be replenished, even if they reached the coastline of the Eastern Kingdom, they did not dare to go ashore to find supplies, who knows if the orcs were active in this area.

So by now, both food and fresh water on the ship have been very scarce, and even the nobles, who have always given priority to food and drinking water, now have to drink some stinky fresh water.

This was true even for the aristocracy, not to mention the commoners, whose outrageous amount of drinking water every day made many people hungry and thirsty and drank seawater, which led to the spread of disease.

"Look, Stormstorm Fortress!" Suddenly, a sailor standing in the bow of the ship let out a cry of surprise, and Barrett sprang up to the bow with an age-appropriate swiftness.

In the distance, a majestic castle rises between the mountains, its blue spires glittering in the sunlight.

"We're here!"

"It's really Stormstorm!"

"Thank you to the Light......

“……”

Soon, the bow of the boat was crowded with refugees, who rushed forward with cheers, some on their knees weeping bitterly, others being squeezed straight into the sea. On other ships, cheers were also heard.

"Lord Barrett." Catlana's voice came from behind her, and Barrett turned to find the lady who had lost a lot of weight walking slowly, and everywhere she went, the refugees respectfully moved out of the way.

Looking at the protruding bones on her face and the sunken eye sockets, Barrett sighed a little, there are many nobles in the fleet, but there are very few people who can really put down their bodies, and these mud legs and hillbillies in their eyes on weekdays also eat inferior and scarce food, except for Barrett himself, there is only this lady who looks extremely charming.

She would even give her share to help some of the poorer, such as women, or children, and from here, Barrett saw that she had something in common with His Majesty the King, kindness......

It was this kindness that made His Majesty the King win the support of all the people of the Stormwind Kingdom, and Lady Katrana gained the respect of everyone on board.

"Lady Katrana, we're almost in Stormwind." Barrett nodded to the squire standing beside him, motioning for him to urge the captain to speed up.

"Chirp-" Suddenly, a loud eagle cry sounded in the sky.

"Griffin!!" At the watchman's cry of horror, a flock of griffons, numbering at least a hundred, swooped down from the clouds, swooping down towards the fleet like bombers, and the joy of returning home vanished without a trace.

The shouting dodge, the panicked roar of the guards, the reprimand of the commander, etc., instantly caused chaos on the ship. A little girl who had been separated from her mother was pushed to the ground by panicked people, curled up in the corner of the ship's side, crying and holding her head to avoid the chaotic crowd.

In the panic, many people were pushed off the side of the ship and fell into the icy water, screaming in horror, hoping that their companions would be able to save them before the boat left.

"Whew-" More than a hundred griffons, with their huge wings, swept across the top of the mast with a knife-like current, and then flew back into the sky, circling and crying in the sky.

On the flagpole of the mast, a tattered steel cross flag filled the wind in the chaotic air current.

"Stop, stop! This is a griffon belonging to the Holy Falcon Kingdom! Barrett was staggered by the chaotic crowd and shouted loudly, but no one listened to him. At a life-threatening moment, no one cares about status, no one cares if you are honorable, and the old man saw with his own eyes that a man pushed Ms. Catlana off the boat in order to escape......

"Hurry up and get Ms. Katrana up!" Barrett almost roared to a flustered sailor, his withered arms lifting the sturdy sailor straight out into the sea.

At that moment, a sturdy griffon, slowly flapping its wings, landed on the deck of the ship, and the man gave up a large open space on the deck as if fleeing from the plague.

A knight in light leather armor, a sword at his waist, and a red cloak on his back descended from the back of the griffin and said in a loud voice, "Who is the captain here?" Why is there the flag of our Holy Falcon Kingdom. ”

The knight was alert, and even though he had dropped the griffin, his hand had been pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the griffon's reins had not been lowered.

Barrett cleared the crowd and walked to the clearing and said in a deep voice, "I am Barrett, the envoy of the Alliance. ”

When the knight saw Barrett, he hurriedly removed his hand from the hilt of his sword, stroked his chest with one hand, and saluted: "Lord Barrett, it's a pleasure to see you here, and Andinas, the captain of the eighth squad of the third brigade of the Griffin Knights, greets you." ”

"Hello, Andinus, can you get your griffons out of here? The flotilla was uneasy. Barrett nodded, relieved to see that Ms. Catlana had been rescued, "We need to stop the boat and rescue the people who have fallen overboard." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency." But the griffin knight did not hesitate to refuse Barrett's request: "It is time of war, and General Edric has ordered that every passing ship must be monitored. ”

However, the knight continued: "I can ask the navy to help rescue the people who have fallen overboard, please wait." ”

Lady Katrana narrowed her eyes: "Navy ......"
