Chapter 13: The Prince of the Northern Expedition
Gilneth was completely closed off from the country, and at the moment when the plague broke out in the kingdom of Lordaeron, Gilneth closed the gates of the Wall of Greymies, closing all outsiders from the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The envoy sent by Lu Zhongli was finally received by the new king Jean, but the king, who adhered to his father's policy of governing the country, only heard half of it and drove the envoy out.
Stormgard now has a new king, Solas died of illness two years ago, and his son succeeded him. And now Stormgard is still facing the threat of an ogre tribe, this ogre is left over from the orc war, and after hiding in the wetlands for many years, they secretly crossed the Sador Bridge and encroached on a lot of Stormgard's land.
Dalaran became a necromancer because of Kel'thugad, and hurriedly investigated the mages related to Kelthugad, and during the operation, it was inevitable that some people excluded dissidents and made Dalaran bloody, and it was difficult to estimate other places for a while.
The emissary to Lordaeron brought back the news that Jongli feared the most, that Arthas had obtained the consent of his father Terenus and set out for Northrend with his army.
After Gianna left the port of Yasxia, she went to Lordaeron again, and after a few days of waiting, Alsace returned to Lordaeron.
"Arthas, can't you really give up your intention to go to Northrend?" Gianna asked.
Arthas kept a straight face and didn't speak, just nodded.
Gianna bit her lip, took out the ring that Lu Zhongli gave him from her pocket, handed it to Arthas, and said, "Arthas, this ring is for you, I'm going to Kalimdo, I hope we will have a chance to meet in the future."
Arthas was stunned, he didn't quite understand what Gianna meant. Still, he reached out and took the ring, holding it up and looking at the glimmer of magic that emanated from it, it was a bewitched ring.
Arthas looked at Gianna, only to see Gianna looking at him with a red face. Arthas seemed to understand something, and an ugly smile squeezed out of his ugly face.
Gianna was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You can always carry it, don't take it off." ”
"Hmm!" Arthas put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand and asked Gianna, "Why did you go to Kalimdor?"
Gianna explained, "I want to leave a way back for the whole of humanity."
Arthas was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with your idea, it's just that your confidence is insufficient." I will prove to you that I am capable of solving this disaster. ”
"I'm looking forward to it!" Gianna said this, but her face did not relax.
Arthas said goodbye to Gianna and walked towards the palace, and before coming to the kingdom, he reached out and rubbed the ring, and it took a long time before he pushed the door open and walked in.
Terenus was glad to see that it was his son who had entered the palace, "You're finally back, Arthas, and tell me about your investigation." ”
Arthas had completed his proper etiquette before standing up and saying to Terenus, "Father, this plague is the result of a demonic conspiracy that has used magic to infect Brill's food. Many people consume these foods, which are then magically affected and turned into undead. If we want to solve the plague once and for all, we need to kill the demon. ”
Terenus was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How did you kill that demon?"
Arthas said: "That demon is in Northrend in the North Continent, I ask to take an army to Northrend and destroy him!"
Terenus said with some concern: "Arthas, this is too dangerous, you better not take the risk, right?" I'll shoot Uther on his way to the North Continent, and I'm sure he'll be able to complete this mission well. ”
"No!" Arthas retorted, "Father, I have promised the citizens of Stratholme that I will avenge them by killing that demon with my own hands!" As their future king, I cannot break my faith in them. ”
Terenus thought for a moment, and that was indeed the case. However, he was still worried about Arthas's safety, and he said, "Uther should go with you, so that I can rest assured."
Arthas thought for a moment that if the Silver Hand left Lordaeron, Lordaeron's army might not be a match for the undead. "I'd better go by myself!"
"This won't work!" Terenus said categorically, "I won't leave you alone in danger."
"Father!" Arthas still has to persuade.
"So be it!" Terenus didn't want to talk any more, he couldn't let his only son take the risk.
Arthas reluctantly withdrew from the palace, and after walking down the steps, Arthas glanced at the ring on his hand again, "I will definitely let you see that your choice is wrong." ”
A few hours later, one of the guards broke into the palace in a panic and said to Terenus, "Your Majesty, the prince gathered his troops and left the city a few hours ago."
Terenus looked at the guard in shock, his body was dirty, and there were traces of rope rubbing on his armor, apparently tied up by Arthas.
"Inform the Knights and chase them back immediately!" Terenus said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The guards rushed to report the news.
However, when the Knights arrived at the Whispering Shore, they saw several ships belonging to Lordaeron sailing out of the harbor. The Knights approached the harbor manager and asked him to send someone to intercept the ships. But they were told that those ships were already all the ships in the harbor that could sail far, and it was impossible to chase them back.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Arthas let the sea breeze blow through his golden hair. Although he had been to sea before, he had never stood in the bow of the ship, and was confined to the deck and cabin by the guards.
The endless ocean made Alsace's thinking a little divergent. He thought a lot, of the joy of being with his parents as a child, of the clumsiness of learning martial arts and holy light, of the coincidence of being with friends, and finally of the shyness of Gianna when she gave him the ring.
Raising his left hand again, Arthas whispered, "I will definitely put an end to this disaster, I will kill that demon and return triumphantly!" Gianna, I promise you! ”
Terenus was furious when he received the news that Arthas had gone to sea. When he was a child, Alsace was very naughty, but he was quite well-behaved. I didn't expect that when I grew up, I couldn't tell the difference, he was the future king of Lordaeron, in case he appeared three long and two short, who would inherit the future Lordaeron?
After Lu Zhongli heard that Arthas had set off, he took out a mirror and cast a spell, a light curtain was reflected from the mirror, and a picture appeared on the light curtain, there was a fleet of ships floating on the sea, and there was a blonde young man standing in the bow of the flagship, it was Alsace!
