Chapter 3: The Home of Chaos
After being gifted by the South Sea Town, the soldiers who were like arrows immediately galloped to the Arathi Basin, and Yuyou accompanied Prince Garin to Rapids.
This part of the journey was not far, and at dusk, the two arrived, approaching the ruined old capital of mankind. Without a welcome ceremony, or even prior notice, the two rushed straight to the door.
The guards in the city saw the two horsemen galloping from a distance, and immediately killed a small team to intercept them, only to find out that this ragged and blood-stained knight was actually His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been missing for more than three months. The most outrageous thing is that he also carries a female undead with him, and both of them are like beggars.
"Your Highness, have you been kidnapped?" The knights shouted as they turned their horses' heads in pursuit, their swords unsheathed and pointed at the ghost.
"Stop!" Garin shouted loudly and hurried towards the city gate without stopping, "She is an official of the Arathi Basin, we have important matters, we must meet the queen immediately!" ”
When the knights heard this, they did not dare to make a mistake, so they withdrew their weapons and chased after them, and the swift horses brought up a cloud of dead branches and leaves.
Late autumn has descended on the northern land.
Driving into the empty city of Riptide, the group ran wildly through the streets, and the knights they met on the road were dumbfounded, and followed behind, and by the time Garin rushed to the palace gate, hundreds of people were already behind him.
The old manager was going out to take out the garbage, and when he saw the crowd of black-pressed knights coming, he collapsed on the ground in fright. He also thought that the prince had been missing for a long time, and that the Iron Arm Legion was about to launch a mutiny.
"Chuck, where is my mother?" Prince Garin dismounted, and handed the whip to the old steward, who was dazed and saw who it was.
"The queen has been in the drawing-room all this time......" the old steward took the whip, and as soon as he was halfway through his sentence, Prince Garin had already run into the palace, and Yu Yu followed closely.
The knights of the Iron Arm looked at each other, what was going on? Where did His Royal Highness the Prince go during this time? It's such a mess. Moreover, compared with before, he seems to have some indescribable changes.
Inside the palace, Prince Garin strode with his sword in his right hand, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. Carrying a long sword, he followed closely behind, and his gait was powerful.
As she ran, the door at the end of the corridor was pushed open, and Queen Tamira, with a haggard face, rushed out, looked eagerly, and saw the prince rushing towards her.
"Garin!" Queen Tamira wept in ecstasy and ran to her son, and as soon as the two approached, the queen suddenly gritted her teeth, raised her right hand and slapped it hard.
Syllable!
A resounding slap was given to Garin's cheek, and the prince smacked down, knelt down on one knee before his mother, and bowed his head.
"Why abandon your people?!" Queen Tamila's face was full of tears, and she pointed to her son and asked sharply, but Garin lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Yu Yu hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, you are wrong to blame the prince, he has been with us all this time to attend the alliance meeting in Stormwind City."
Only then did Queen Tamira notice that her son was followed by a female undead, and she suddenly became vigilant, "Ma'am, who are you?" ”
Garin hurriedly introduced, "This is the chief of staff of the Lord of the Arathi Basin, and I have been walking with the Lord of the Arathi Basin all the way, first crossing the sea to Kalimdor, and then to Stormwind City. ”
Queen Tamira looked a little relieved when she heard this, and hurriedly nodded to Youyou, "Your Excellency has arrived, and I have lost my welcome, how do I look ......like It's a bit of a faux pas. ”
It was indeed a bit of a faux pas, and at this time Queen Tamyra was sallow, her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was unkempt like straw, and she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, and she looked more embarrassed than the palace maids.
"There's no time for small talk, mother." Garin fell to his knees and shouted urgently: "War is coming!"
Hearing this, Queen Tamira was taken aback, grabbed her son's shoulders and asked, "What is going on?"
At that moment, Garin knelt in front of his mother and recounted the scenes that had happened in Stormwind, and Queen Tamira listened to it, her face becoming more and more gloomy.
Finally talking about the cause and effect of the incident, Tamira stood still and frowned in thought, and did not move for a long time.
"Her Majesty?" Yu Yu whispered.
Takilla came back to her senses, silently removed a rubber band from her wrist, tied her hair back in her head, and sighed.
"Elder Shadow, do you think we Stormgard should fight?" The queen looked at Youyou and said in a heavy tone.
Yu Yu looked at the peaceful queen and said slowly: "Our lord once said such a sentence, if you seek peace through compromise, you will die peacefully, and if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace. Besides, Stormwind is a long way away, and it will take at least three months for them to mobilize for war if they want to start a national war, so we have plenty of time to prepare for the enemy. ”
When Queen Tamira heard this, her eyes lit up, "Your lord is indeed a great man in the world, and I am fortunate to have such an ally, let's go in and talk." ”
With that, the queen took a step sideways and made a gesture of please, and at this moment she was in high spirits, as if she were a heroic female warrior. In fact, this queen is far from being as gentle as ordinary people see, 20 years ago, she is also a female general who dominates the field.
The three of them entered the meeting room, closed the door, and began the first military joint staff meeting, and the strategic plan for a long time in the future was determined in this meeting of the three people. By the time the door was opened again, it was already two hours later.
In front of the palace of Riptide City, almost all the knights of the Iron Arm Legion gathered here, and they had a vague feeling as if something big was about to happen. However, they did not talk, but lined up in full clothes and stood solemnly in front of the door.
The impatient wait finally ended, and the gate of the palace was slowly pushed open by the two maids, making a heavy sound of the doorshaft rubbing. Behind the door stood three people side by side, Prince Garin_Torn in the center, Queen Tamyra on the left, and Yu Yu on the right.
"Salute!" Lorenzo, the commander of the Iron Arm Legion, shouted, and the knights stood in unison, raised their heads, and struck the breastplate three times with their right fists, making a majestic "thump" sound.
Prince Garin, accompanied by two ladies, walked up to the knights' ranks, his gaze calm and majestic, scanning his men who were loyal to him.
"I have one thing to tell you." Prince Garin said, "Just half a month ago, the mighty Kingdom of Stormwind declared war on us."
Ten minutes later, Riptide let out an angry roar that could be heard for kilometers. The farmer who was harvesting straightened up from the field and looked at the mottled ancient city inexplicably.
"What nerves?" The farmers expressed disdain, talking to each other, guessing what was going on in Riptide.
Of course, nothing was more important than eating, and after fruitless discussions, they continued to work and harvest the last grain of the year. Riptide City has long lost its power over them, and they have no feelings for His Royal Highness the Prince, only that there is such a person, and few people have seen it.
At dusk, 500 kilometers northeast of Riptide City, a similar scene is unfolding, but here it is a group of farmers who roar.
This is a small village, there is a threshing floor outside the village, a bonfire is lit in the field, and more than 100 villagers are gathering together with farm tools and making loud noises. By the campfire lay the corpse of a young girl, disheveled, and an old man stood beside the corpse, frowning, and the light of the fire fell on his face, flickering.
"Village chief, let's do it, get rid of these robbers!" A tall young man held up a pitchfork and roared, and his words were immediately echoed by the crowd, and the crowd was excited. A group of farmers carrying farm tools were actually murderous.
In the night, a black-haired young man silently walked into the angry crowd with a hoe, and gave a gentle smile to the people around him.
Don't look at it, isn't it Cheng Xiaotian......
Now he is wearing a coarse cloth shirt and trousers, and he has rolled up a pair of trouser legs, and his dress is no different from that of an ordinary farmer, but his appearance is a little mismatched.
"Who are you? I don't think I've seen it. The thin farmer beside Cheng Xiaotian was stunned and asked suspiciously, but his voice was immediately drowned out and was not noticed by others.
"Avenge Susan! Kill the murderer and drive out the robbers who drink human blood! The tall young man waved his pitchfork and roared, and the villagers echoed loudly, and the farm tools poked into the sky, and the crowd was excited.
The old village chief's face, which had been frowning and pondering, changed several times, and finally sighed, "You are going to die, I will never agree." (To be continued.) )
