Chapter 464: The King Sees the King
It's done!
When the Arasso Kingdom soldiers who followed Varian to the Stormwind Fortress appeared in the figure of Hinesaraya, Leo knew that the matter had been successful.
Who said that following Wendthor back to Stormwind City must be to make Onexia appear as a small matter, dragging Benedictas, who has been shrouded in divine aura, into the game is more important than dealing with the Black Dragon Princess.
If Leo is compared to a chess player, and the whole situation is compared to a chessboard, the prerequisite for Leo to play against Benedictas is that the archbishop enters the game, if Benedictas does not bird Leo, even if Leo has a thousand clever plans, it is in vain, because with Benedictas's prestige, Leo will take the initiative to provoke, it will be angry, and he can only let him jump out by himself.
Sinaisaraya quietly stood behind Leo, and out of the corner of her eye, Pasonia caught a glimpse of the figure of the Black Dragon Queen, and her heart was shocked, when did this woman come back, she didn't even notice it at all.
Giving an inquiring glance behind him, Worthen and Corona Wind, who had already been informed by her, shook their heads slightly, they didn't know how and when the woman named Sinestella appeared, they only knew that when they found Sinesalaya, the woman was already standing behind Leo.
A powerful and mysterious woman.
The three of them couldn't help but pay more attention to Xinaisaraya.
"Stop, what do you want to do? This is the royal city, and you can't do anything wrong. A group of guards suddenly blocked Varian's path, and the leading officer, dressed in a major's uniform, watched as the rushing team made a gesture of battle to the soldiers behind him, if Varian's team were to force their way through, the two sides would have to fight.
"Major Samuelson, order your men to get out of the way." Marcus stepped out, as the commander of the Stormwind Guard, he was Samuelson's superior, and in his mind Samuelson could not disobey his orders.
But this is not the case, and in the face of his boss Samuelson categorically refused.
"General Marcus, I won't if you give up your duty, it's my responsibility to guard Stormwind, I will never allow a strange army to retreat from the royal city."
The power of the nobility couldn't help but jump out?
Leo watched this scene from behind, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, this major named Samuelson spoke nicely, as if he was loyal to the kingdom, but the purpose of what he did was only to prevent Varian from entering the palace.
"Marshal Windsor, and this," Samuelson hesitated as he looked at Varian with his twin swords at his waist, as if wondering what to call this man who looked exactly like the king, "Maybe what you said is true, but it is not appropriate to lead an army into the palace before the truth is investigated, and even if it turns out that this is the real King Varian, he may not be able to convince the people." Marcus and Windsor hesitated, and Samuelson was not unreasonable, it was indeed inappropriate to take an army to break into the palace, and even if it turned out that Varian was the real king, people who did not know what had happened would still be suspicious.
Led troops to force the palace even if it was not true, let him become true, such rumors must be a lot afterwards, although the rumors stop at the wise, but how many wise people? The people of the kingdom are suspicious and worried that the decree will inevitably be smooth, which is a great blow to Varian's authority, and if it is coupled with the stirring of the kingdom by people with intentions, it will inevitably happen.
Varian looked at Samuelson and nodded in agreement, "You have a point, Major, what do you suggest?" "These armies can reach the vicinity of Stormwind Fortress, but most of them can't enter the palace. "This is to ask us to bring only a small number of elites into the palace, so as to reduce the suspicion of the army forcing the palace and ensure the safety of those who enter.
Samuelson's words made Leo suspicious, could it be that he was not sent by those nobles who were unwilling to fail?
"You follow me."
Varian pointed at Samuelson and then swaggered forward, seeing that Samuelson had achieved his goal, Samuelson gestured, and the soldiers who were blocking in front immediately made a way.
Clever major, is he taking a risk?
I can't say that I despise my new companion Leo, just as the so-called people go to high places and water flows low, everyone has the right to climb up, the difference is only in the means and the end. Major Samuelson's methods were not vicious, and if Leo had been in his position, it would have been worth the slight displeasure that Marcus would have a reputation for incompetence in order to be valued by His Majesty. ,
It's really not interesting for someone who isn't an aristocrat to jump out.
Leo pursed his lips, he had thought that he could warm up before entering the palace, and by the way, let Alaso's army show their strength in the royal city of the Stormwind Kingdom, but things did not go as he wanted.
Before coming to the Stormwind Fortress, there were already a lot of upper-level people from the Stormwind Kingdom gathered here, and they were either noble ministers or military officers, and seeing Varian's arrival, the palace guards just clenched the weapons in their hands and did not close the door of the fortress.
"Stop." Varian raised his hand to signal the procession to stop, and entered the palace with a small number of elites along with Windsor, Marcus, Samuelson, and Parsonia, as they had agreed on the way.
Varian's soldiers were about 300 henchmen selected by Marcus and 20 soldiers under Major Samuelson, while Leo brought 30 warlocks from the Summoner Legion and 200 Dragonblood guards, and Verry was left outside to take charge of the rest of the Alathor army. For some reason, Theramore's army did not follow into the palace, but they were already prepared to see that if the nobles were planning to encircle Varian into the palace and kill them, they would immediately attack Stormwind Fortress.
A team of five or six hundred people seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is unrealistic for them to really plan to force the palace by force, because the strength of Storm Fortress has reached 20,000 and all of them are elite soldiers, and the team of five or six hundred people can barely protect itself. In this way, even if it is really confirmed that the Varian King brought back by Wendthor is true, not many people will believe the rumors created by some well-intentioned people.
Counting the previous pit of Count Gregor, Leo Shang is the second time to enter the palace of the Storm Kingdom, and this time the trip to the palace is very different from the last time in terms of identity and strength.
The last time he entered the palace, Leo was just a minor figure in MI7, and he was also unknown in the entire Stormwind Kingdom, not to mention expanding the scope to the whole world, and at that time he was just a high-level warlock, in general, Leo who entered the palace last time was just a small person who could be discarded at any time, and it would be easier for the nobles of the Kingdom of Shelter to kill him than to kill a chicken without Pasonia.
But who dares to say what to do with Leo now?
Not to mention that his relationship with Scarlett has made everyone already regard him as the future prince of the kingdom of Araso, just to say that his current status as Marshal of Araso is not something that ordinary people can move, not to mention that Leo's strength also makes people look sideways The battle of the Valley of Refuge blasted Varimatas into powder, Scarlett drove the thousand-meter-long purple dragon back to Jīliu Castle in shock, and even killed Anubrekan, Louseb, Maxner and other natural disaster powerhouses in a row in the Sun Temple in the land of Hún. Under such a terrifying record, how many people dare to underestimate him, and who dares to despise him?
Following Varian to the palace hall, Leo felt smug in his heart under the complicated gaze of the nobles and kingdom officers. Thinking about the treatment given to him by those who regarded themselves as small people in the upper echelons of the Stormwind Kingdom in the past, and looking at the fear that those people are trying to hide now, Leo is really not ordinary comfort.
Didn't you guys look down on me before, how about it, now you know what I'm capable of, right? Do you regret it?
No wonder the ancients were not as rich as brocade clothes at night, showing off, this is the show off of red fruits.
Varian, who was in his own palace, knew the way, and he walked at the front of the line, followed by Leo and Scarlett, then the more than 500 soldiers, and finally a group of ministers and officers who were concerned about the development.
Entering the palace hall, Varian saw the guy who had stolen his throne at a glance, and the two of them couldn't help but mō his own face when they looked at each other.
Resemble!
It's so similar!
Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between the two Varians, and there was no difference between the two in terms of appearance, and in terms of figure, the two were also printed in a mold, and if the two were dressed identically, even the people who were most familiar with Varian would not be able to tell who they were.
The resemblance of these two men caused everyone to hesitate, even Marcus and Windsor, who were so sure.
The Grand Duke of Berval stood beside the little King Anduin, and the two were silent after looking at each other, they couldn't tell which of the two Varians was real and who was fake, although the mild-tempered king that the kingdom envoy found in Theramore did not match the image of Varian before, but the two who were most familiar with Varian knew that this was the unknown side of this king, so they didn't doubt it. , but now it is not possible to doubt it.
One of the two Varians must be fake, who is the real King of these two people?
The question of who is true and who is false lingers in everyone's minds, and the mild-mannered Varian and the irascible Varian are also looking at each other at this time, and the hall is quiet for a while.
The large hall that poured into the thousands of people suddenly became almost inaudible to breathing, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
"Monster, I'm coming! As I have seen, with axiom and justice, I come! A figure roared and rushed towards Countess Presto, who stood beside Gentle Varian, and Wendthor broke the eerie silence in the hall, and a mouthful of magic spells rang out from his lips, which the marshal had received from Leo on his way to the palace.
"Marshal Windsor, what are you going to do......"
Seeing Wendsol rushing towards him, the panicked face of the Princesse Presto, it seemed that she didn't expect someone to dare to attack her, but before she could finish speaking, her body changed in the spell that Wendsol quickly completed.
"Roar!" A huge black dragon appeared in the kingdom's council hall...
