Stormwind 7
A few days later, we arrived at Stormwind, and looking at the solemn and untraceable appearance of the battle, I couldn't help but think of my old capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoYes, some things are lost forever, but some things can be kept.
I came to the gate, and at this moment my sister was waiting for us at the door with tears in her eyes, and although she looked at me like this, she still rushed to me with tears, without showing any fear, and I did not refuse the support of this only relative, and clinged to each other.
"Alsace... You're alive.... You're alive. β
"Yes, sister, only we are alive. β
Others, meanwhile, showed disdain for our appearance, and yes, the mere smell of us made many of the noble ministers who had come with us turn away. I was just surprised that there was Varian among them, and he didn't come to us because of my presence. Instead, he was standing and watching us with the ministers, and it was understandable that he was worried that his light would hurt us, but I was surprised by the slight hint of cowardice and resignation.
There was no way, after letting go of my sister, I could only get close to him and talk about the old relationship.
"King Varian. β
"Your Highness Arthas... I am so grateful to you for destroying demons for us in Stormwind. β
"Yes, I think, this is just a precursor, and soon we will encounter more and more powerful enemies. "I was taken aback by what I said, and yes it was just a surprise to him, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised. Because it was the first time I became aware of his fear. Varian's fear.
"You mean there are more and more powerful enemies?" said a hint of fear in his words, which made me feel a little surprised.
"The leader of the Burning Legion has descended on our world, and has gone to the continent of Kalimdor. We must be there to destroy the Burning Legion with local creatures. β
"This...."
Varian hesitated, and just then, Ms. Pristo spoke.
"I think this kind of state affairs will be discussed later. β
As he said this, Varian nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we will discuss these matters in the court. β
We looked at this suspiciously, and it felt very unnatural, but we couldn't help it, and I didn't say anything. And my sister, too, who just sighed, and just as I was about to ask, he had been motioned by the guards to let her into the carriage. And to my surprise, Varian didn't arrange for us to go to the palace, but to the inn. There was no way for a few of us to stay there without disturbing the other residents, and a few of us chose to stay here honestly for a whole morning.
But the minutes passed, and at noon we couldn't resist going out to meet Varian, but were stopped by the majestic guards at the door. It was only then that we realized that we might be under house arrest. This confuses a few of us even more.
"What's going on, how I think they're going to talk about what to do with us. β
"I don't believe Varian would do anything like this. β
"Varian? But how does this Varian feel different from what he used to feel? β
Everyone started talking, and their eyes finally focused on me, yes, they were so suspicious of me, but why this happened, I didn't understand. Does it make no sense that he is already controlled, or does he not want an exiled prince to compete with him for his reputation here?
Somewhat angry, I banged on the table angrily, and just then, the soldiers burst in, and only after seeing that we didn't make a move did they look at us and left in a huff.
We all sat down on this, and yes, we all know what we stand for here. We looked at each other, didn't say anything for a moment, and motioned to each other not to talk about anything more.
At this moment, a bow and arrow were on the wooden window panel of the outer wall, and we thought that someone was trying to sneak up on us, but Sylvanas found a letter hanging from the arrow. And again in elven script.
Sylvanas opened it first and began to look at it, and although I didn't know what it was, I knew that such a clumsy archery must be Valilla. And to communicate with us in this way, there is only one possibility, which proves that this is a place of right and wrong.
Just when I was suspicious, Sylvanas suddenly hugged me, and I was surprised at first that she was doing this, but soon I knew that she was using her fingers to relay the message to me.
"We are being monitored, they are going to work against you, and the queen is under house arrest. "I was shocked to hear this, I could hardly imagine who would have the ability, ambition and strength to occupy the whole of Stormwind City. Unless.... It was at this time that I suddenly thought of an example from my childhood, and that was the Lord of Pristo that Deathwing had transformed.
It occurred to me that the lady was this one!And, before that, the things that Ysera had been talking to us about in her dreams were to remind me not to be fooled by the illusion of dragons, and that no dragons would be idle at this time. Yes, this of course also includes the Black Dragon .... Thinking of this, I can't help but recall that when Varian came to Lordaeron for the first time after becoming king, when Ronin and I spied on them, Ronin sensed the breath of the black dragon, and it happened that Ms. Pristo left at that time....
I couldn't help but gasp when I thought of this, yes, I know what kind of enemy I am facing this time, and how dangerous the situation is now, after all, I have killed a lot of black dragon cubs in the Lessero Canyon, and it is not an exaggeration for him to choose this time to take revenge.
At this time, I went to observe the guards at the door, and I suddenly noticed that they were somewhat similar to the aura and temperament of Crassus, Karegos, and Noah, but they made people feel that they were forbearance in this form, rather than modesty, so this can only show one point, that is, they are soldiers transformed into black dragons.
Damn, I was furious. And this mood is manifested in the direct breaking away of Sylvanas, who was holding me.
"At this time, you still come to this action. I yelled at Sylvanas, and she looked aggrieved. But I know everybody understands why. Similarly, Sylvanas also looked very aggrieved. In this regard, I began to 'persuade' her again, "Wait until it is dark, and the dark sky will come again." β
"Hmmβ" Everyone understood what I meant, and they re-appeared as if they were at leisure.
It was at this time that something unexpected happened to me. Windsor came to visit us alone. This surprised us, because under such surveillance, Windsol could easily come here, indicating that there must be a connection between them, but why did he come to see us alone, didn't he know where we were now?
Thassarian was ready to take him hostage, but I felt that it was a big problem, so I pressed his gesture with my hand. Instead, they were ready to communicate with him as usual.
"I thought you were in the palace, but I didn't expect you to be in the inn all along. β
He came up and questioned a few of us, and this kind of questioning made me somewhat believe that he should not be an enemy...
"The people in the palace will not see us for a while. I sighed, and the discerning person saw that I was a lie, or an angry word. But Windsor clearly didn't know what I was thinking, or even where we were now.
"I don't understand, doesn't your sister want to see you? Even though you are, I can see that she still loves you. "He thought it was strange, and I was even more convinced that he didn't know about it, and he was definitely not a black dragon. Yes, I shouldn't have doubted him just because of his friendship with Khadgar. So I turned to him and told him what I thought. So I began to think that it was precisely because Wendsol would uphold justice that the Black Dragon would let Wendsol in, and then let us kidnap him, and use this as an excuse to kill everyone, including him.
"Perhaps, I think we'd better get out of here. β
"Why? You haven't seen King Varian explain what you know?"
"You can just say something like this, and I, a dead man, don't have to say anything. β
"After returning to Stormwind City from your parting ways last time, I relayed my suggestion, but he didn't take it to heart... To be honest, I feel like my king has changed a lot in personality. "Hearing this, I suddenly thought of the fact that yes, maybe Varian has been controlled by the black dragon, or maybe he is a puppet in front of him. In this regard, I have to escape and expose the conspiracy of the black dragon.
"I'm not used to being in a pile full of aliens...."I reminded with my eyes, but in fact, it was mainly to remind everyone
"Alien?" Windsor was stunned by my words, but he didn't say anything to "Okay, then will you say goodbye to the King?"
"Well, we probably won't be able to go, right today...," I replied to Windsor's question, and my eyes were focused on the guards, especially when their reinforcements came, and he was aware of our murderous aura, but it wasn't for him.
"Tomorrow, what about you today?"
Unaware, Windsor asked, in astonishment, and that my companions were still prepared to take him hostage, and I felt the need to make it clear to them first and talk to him face to face.
"Marshal Wendsor, I would like to know if your MI7 problems are all under the leadership of Belva. β
"This..."
"Are they also members of MI7?" Seeing that he didn't answer my question, I pointed to the guards outside the door, and to their surprise, I pointed at them.
"This...."Wendsol still didn't say anything, but asked with concern. "What the hell is going on?"
"Do you remember what you said about the defeat at Dammod, I would say this has become the second one, after you led the army to join forces with the dwarves. β
"Arthas, how is this possible! Isn't the demon destroyed?"
"There is also the dark forces of this world, the Fire Demon is one, but there are other more powerful species, such as the Black Dragon. β
Our conversation caught the attention of the guards, and the friends knew it was time to fight, so they all showed murderous air, much to Wendsol's surprise.
"What's wrong with you. β
"By the way, I want to ask you something, you said that you would die at the hands of a giant beast, I want to know what kind of giant beast that giant beast is, it is not us mortals, and you are sure that it is not a demon, then I guess it is a dragon? and a black dragon. β
"How do you know?"
"Why are you telling me now!" I turned my attention to him and yelled at him angrily, yes, if he said he died at the hands of the Black Dragon, then I should have thought that she was probably the Black Dragon incarnation when I first heard him introduce Ms. Priest, and even if she hadn't, at least I would have doubted it and tried to find out her true identity on the way.
"That's because Khadgar reminded me after Draenor fought Deathwing, don't say it's the Black Dragon, or it will affect the morale of the military..."
He explained why, and I didn't have time to listen at this time, because the guards were already rushing towards us.
"I'm sorry, Marshal. "We're ready to fend off the guards, and Windsor, who is sitting in the back, clearly hasn't figured it out yet
"What?"
"Because you've seen your nightmare. Sylvanas said, a beam of arrows in his hand struck one of the dragonman guards, and he appeared, a young dragon lying on the marshal's body, which made him realize the seriousness of the situation.
The battle began. At our alert, Windsor reacted and took up arms to fight the dragonmen along with us.
It can be seen from the corpses of which dragons they should all be young dragons who have just broken their shells, but in terms of combat power and ferocity and strength, they are already able to surpass the level of demons. And the slightly larger ones are already able to highlight the burning magma. But fortunately, their ability to cooperate is not very strong, especially they are irritable and irritable, which gives everyone an advantage in the situation.
The soldiers from the periphery came over as well, or they just waited for us to 'kill' Windsor. And then wipe us out in one fell swoop, but Wendthor is still here. He then ordered the guards to kill the strange-looking dragonmen. After the soldiers saw the corpses of several dragons below, some of the soldiers who had participated in the expedition and fought with the demons immediately understood what was going on, and led the other soldiers to attack these dragonmen. In the end, with our joint efforts, it was relatively easy to eliminate this small force. However, seeing that the situation was not good, some of them still turned into their original forms and flew into the sky. And this happened to be a live target for Sylvanas.
The very experienced Sylvanas did not kill all the black dragons, but left two behind to observe their flight paths. Sylvanas, who have excellent eyesight, should be able to determine the location of their lair based on the direction in which they are flying. But not long after she put down her bow and arrows, the two little black dragons suddenly blew themselves up.
"It's her hand, she's still watching us. β
"Who?"
"It's Ms. Pristo. Your Countess. β
"How could this be her. β
"This is very obvious, because he has a lord of Pristo with the same surname. It's Deathwing, who had wanted to use a similar method to control the entire Northern Continent. β
"Oh my God...."Wendthor thought of the scene that night, that day, King Varian's personality fusion. "Our king, will he be controlled?"
"If it's just control, it's lucky.... And maybe we're seeing dragonman puppets!"
"So what are we going to do?!Kill back to the palace?"
Windsol was even angrier when he heard this, and just as he asked, Valera rushed over. Before we could catch up, he turned to tell us the bad news.
"Berva is gathering the entire Praetorian Guard to come and exterminate you, saying that you are colluding with the Black Dragons and trying to usurp the throne. β
"Damn! she's prepared. I was so angry that I had to choose another way: "Let's go." β
"It may be too late, and the gates are guarded. Valera said to us, apparently observing the situation.
"Let's go to the north gate, where my men are in charge of the guard. "And the barracks in the north are full of brothers who have retired from Danmod. β
"Let's get out. I say this, but in fact only a few of us undead have the intention of escaping. "What's wrong with you? Don't you believe what I'm saying, or is Danmod's lesson not deep enough?"
"No! I think it's necessary to theorize with Berva, I think he's a man who knows right from wrong. β
"But if he was snatched away, it wasn't necessarily, and if Ms. Priest asked him to come, she would definitely control him. β
"Alright!" he said, leading the men with us towards the north gate, at first I thought we would be hijacked on the way, but in fact it was a smooth journey, and no one stopped us at all. And successfully walked out of the gate before they appeared, and came to the barracks. When Wendsol ordered all his soldiers to meet the enemy, it was at this moment that the Praetorian Guard led by Berva also rushed over and confronted the barracks.
The soldiers thought it would be a demon coming, but to their surprise, they were faced with the King's Forbidden Army. The King's Forbidden Army was also surprised, they didn't expect Wendthor to mutiniate for the sake of our undead. Neither side wants to do anything to their own people, so the coaches also unconsciously stand up for peace talks, after all, they also want to understand each other or convince each other.
"Wendthor, are you deluded by the undead who are trying to collude with the Black Dragons and demons to capture Stormwind, but you want to help them in their abuse. β
"It's you, my friend, who are fooled, and your fiancΓ©e, Lady Priest, is a black dragon at all. β
"Onexia is a black dragon, are you really crazy!" Burna was furious at hearing that his lover had been insulted, but he still retorted, as if he already had an opinion about her.
"Come to think of it, my friend, since she took over MI7, almost all of the important information has been negative and undermined the unity of the Alliance, and there is not a word about the arrival of Lord Pristo in Alterac. Don't you think it's a bit of a cat, and don't you think our king has changed since we came back from Minethir, and has become cowardly, which is not at all the Varian we have been taught and known. β
"Daringly, you are questioning our king. β
"Birva, and you, you used to face problems very head-on, why have you become so vain now, and refuse to accept the reality of what happened. β
I was really surprised to hear this that the marshal was able to say these suspicious things, perhaps he had such speculations a long time ago, so that she was ordered by Madame Priest to go to the north and send his cronies to his death against the devil.
Just as I thought so, both sides were ready to charge, but it was at this point that I realized that something was wrong, that is, if Pristo really had to arrest a few of us, he would not have sent the entire forbidden army and caused a huge scene to act, because it was not necessary and inefficient. The right thing to do is to lead a small number of elites to move quickly, and we just let us to the barracks Berva rush in, which seems to have been calculated. So there is only one possibility, and that is that she hopes to let the forces of Stormwind City fight each other and then take advantage of the situation.
"Stop!" I stepped forward to stop the imminent war.
"Arthas, you are trying to rebel, and if you are caught, I certainly will not attack. β
"If sacrificing one of me can prevent a senseless fight, that's true, it's good, but have you thought about it, the evidence of my rebellion and collusion with the black dragon. β
"There are a few dead black dragons at your station, and someone from MI7 has long reported that the humans in the form of black dragons have already been operating in Stormwind, doesn't that count. β
"Very good, it seems that you still have some honest people in MI7, I want to ask you how those black dragons died, if they were killed by us, then it proves that we rebelled, if they were killed by Wendthor and the soldiers, then they are on my side, then how can you determine that I am in league with the black dragons?"
"Maybe you've killed people to keep Wendthor from knowing your secrets, and you've misled him into thinking you're a hero. β
Hearing his explanation, Wendsol couldn't help but scoff, but I continued to prove my innocence before he could open his mouth to denounce it. "I was friends with several red dragons, Noah and Cleoztra, and I slaughtered a large number of black dragons in the Lessero Canyon, do you think I will collude with the black dragons?"
My statement left him speechless, yes, these are all things I have done in the Southern Continent, and as the prefect of Stormwind, he knows it. But even my arguments still can't move this regent who has already been hooked.
"You come with me to the palace to stand trial, you can appeal in court, and even if you explain that you have nothing to do with the black dragon, then you will not be able to wash away the collusion demon. He pointed at me and yelled, apparently consciously believing that I was a heinous bastard, but I still had to explain it to him.
"Collusion with demons, if I were really in league with demons, I wouldn't risk going back to slaughter their boss with my own hands and buy time for everyone. "My statement is echoed by everyone on my side, yes, they know that it would be easy for those demons to set foot in Stormwind. There is no need to do this at all. Seeing that everyone showed their support for me, I also increased my confidence.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be judged by that female black dragon, and I won't go to such an unjust court. β
"That's just a battle to meet. β
"You idiot!" I couldn't help but curse when I heard him say this, and I could only say the simplest truth. "If I'm really your old friend who colluded with black dragons and demons, then what I want to do most now is to let you Stormwind City consume your strength, and then reap the benefits! And I don't think this is what you want to see! Of course, if you still have the mind, otherwise you won't be stupid enough to not even understand such a simple truth. β
"This...."
"Think about what I say and be a real responsible man. β
I was speechless, and after a moment of thought, he finally came up with a realization that seemed somewhat rational to me.
"If you suspect our king, and Cleonisia, you'd better show proof. β
"Well, I'll let you tell the black dragon woman too. I'll go to the Red Dragon and ask the Red Dragon Queen to help clean her up, so it's best to have her bring their boss, Deathwing, to help. β
After that, we left with Wendthor and his troops without waiting for them to reply.
