Chapter 187: Arthas's Worries
Thinking of this, Arthas shook his head and looked at Muradin to the side - although he did not know which of the drunken dwarves who had been left in the barracks was their leader, since Muradin was here, the dwarves would definitely obey his orders. As long as Muradin was against Danas's plan, then the bald uncle probably wouldn't have done such a thing of launching a general attack in advance.
Arthas, however, noticed that something was wrong with Muradin—the dwarven warrior's expression was now grim, as if he had seen something terrible. "Muradin, what's wrong with you?" Alsace asked. Muradin's height was limited, so he could only look down through the gaps in the battlements, as in Alsace.
Hearing Arthas's inquiry, Muradin, no longer tiptoeing out of the city, turned around, his movements were a little funny, but the expression on his face and the tone of his voice were extremely heavy and stern: "I'm sorry, I think I have to go out of the city once." That orc is the opponent I must fight. ”
"What?" Arthas and Danas exclaimed together. Arthas hurriedly asked, "Muradin, do you know that orc?" Muradin looked at everyone around him, nodded, and replied, "Yes...... I fought Ironforge when it was besieged by orcs. ”
After saying that, Muradin thought for a moment and added: "One-on-one, and several times. Muradin felt that he had been detailed enough, but Danas and Arthas still felt that he had not provided enough information. Therefore, under the cross-examination of the two princes, Muradin truthfully explained the duel between himself and the orc outside the fortress outside the Ironforge Keep.
Listening to the ...... "story" told by Muradin, Arthas and Danas looked at each other. Yes, it's a "story", and even though Muradin's story is about his desperate struggle with an evil orc invader, Alsace always had a strange feeling - how could it be so much like a storyteller?
Unlike the bloody scene imagined by Arthas, filled with shouts, roars, shouts, and screams, the so-called battle for the defense of Ironforge was a constant ...... between dwarven warriors and orc warriors Duel? But Muradin's heart was already wrapped in hatred.
Grom may feel that the battles with Muradin are enjoyment, a dialogue between the strong and the strong, belonging to the true warriors. But all that Muradin had in mind was the two hundred and seventy-six dwarven warriors who died at the hands of Grom, and the four thousand seven hundred and sixty-two dwarven warriors who had died in the orc invasion, and the dwarven civilians who had been mercilessly slaughtered by the orcs because they lived on the Danmoro plain outside Ironforge—this was the difference between the invaders and the invaded, even though they were equally powerful.
Muladin's eyes became a little blood-red, which made Danas, who had the intention to dissuade him, hesitate for a moment, but still didn't speak - if it weren't for the fact that he still had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Danas would have personally gone into battle to fight that orc to the death, so would it be Muladin's turn?
But Arthas was more concerned about Muradin's safety after all, and he asked with some concern: "Muradin, did you really have the upper hand in the duel?" Muradin, who was not good at words, did not regard a duel with the orc as something of honor, so in Muradin's description, he only understated that he had defeated the orc in the end.
Muradin said it, but Alsace couldn't listen to it. Arthas was not a child who knew nothing, and in the original stream of time, he had studied swordsmanship and fighting skills under Muradin and then Uther, and duels and martial arts were common during the days of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
An excellent warrior and paladin, Arthas understands that things are never as simple as Muradin says. While studying swordsmanship with Muradin, Arthas sparred with the dwarven warrior on several occasions; In the Knights of the Silver Hand, there are also a few Dwarven paladins to accompany them. These dwarves, short but as stubborn as stones, are natural warriors, and their strength is greater than that of orcs.
But the orc outside the fortress ...... Single-handedly, he killed nearly three hundred dwarven warriors in a heads-up? What a terrible fighting power this is? Even when Arthas stayed in the Icecrown Fortress as the Lich King, he had never seen such a powerful orc until the moment he committed suicide.
Muradin took a deep look at the little human prince in front of him, nodded, and said, "Yes, since I have already defeated him once, then this time I will also defeat him." With that, Muradin came to Arthas's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder—and only Arthas could enjoy the treatment of being patted on the shoulder by a dwarf—everyone else was too tall.
Muradin didn't know what was going on with this little human ghost, and he had never seen this child before. But for some reason, this little human prince named "Arthas" seemed to be very kind to him, which made Muradin very puzzled.
Arthas's heart felt very helpless - in the original flow of time, he stepped step by step into the abyss under the control and bewitchment of the Lich King Nao Zu and bewitched; In that cave on the shores of Northrend, next to Frost's sorrow, Muradin tried in vain not to draw the magic sword, but in vain he was stabbed by himself. Although he then tried his best to heal Muradin with the Holy Light, he never saw or heard even the slightest news about Muradin after that, and even the dwarves who came to fight him in the Ash Inquisition army agreed that Muradin was dead.
Thanks to the sorrow of the frost, Arthas has been given a chance to start over. The moment he saw Muradin again, Arthas was thrilled - he vowed not to let any of his relatives and mentors be harmed this time. But in less than a day, Muradin's departure to face the mighty orcs?
Despite his confidence in Muradin's strength, Arthas was still a little worried. Just as Muradin had dissuaded him from pulling out the Frost Sorrow, Arthas now wanted to keep Muradin in the Dammod Fortress. But the little prince knew that even if he hadn't been controlled by the Lich King Naozu in the first place, Muradin would not have been able to dissuade him from drawing his sword.
The desire for power, the power to banish the Scourge and save Lordaeron's subjects, made Arthas unable to resist the temptation of the sorrow of the Frost Sword; Muradine and Arthas, though different, are similar in some ways - they are both very stubborn people.
