Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Scarlet Promise

In Stormwind Fortress, Stormwind Palace, a little boy in a white robe was running through the corridor, followed by a long line of servant maids, all with nervous faces.

The little boy has delicate white skin, curly blond hair, and a lively expression.

"I'm just going to the back garden to find the regent, what are you doing here?" The little boy shouted as he ran, and the people behind him were in trouble.

"My king." First, an old man in a white robe shouted: "You run slower, be careful of falling, the alliance meeting is about to be held, you can't be willful anymore."

"Ha, do you think I'm useless?" Unconvinced, the little boy turned around, drew a heavy sword from his armor on the side of the corridor, and waved it as he retreated, shouting triumphantly: "When my father was my age, he had already hunted a bear, and I was not bad!"

The epee weighed 10 kilograms, and the little boy struggled to swing it, and his steps were carried a little staggeringly, and the men were even more nervous.

"Put it down, don't hurt yourself." Everyone persuaded with all their mouths, but they didn't dare to come closer.

The little boy retreated, and suddenly crashed into the arms of a man, and before he could react, the heavy sword in his hand had been taken away.

"When the first king was seven years old, he could not use his hands and heavy swords." A rich and hearty male voice sounded behind him, and in the midst of laughter, the little boy was already hugged.

Holding him was a tall and handsome middle-aged man, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face, and a pair of blue eyes staring at the little boy, full of love. When the servants and maids who came after saw this man, they immediately stopped and made a palace salute, "Meet His Royal Highness the Regent." ”

The young boy is the King of Stormwind, the young Anduin Wrynn, and the middle-aged man is the Regent, Berval Pagodagen.

The regent looked at the servants who fell to the ground and said with a smile: "I will accompany Your Majesty, you are all dispersed."

"Yes." The minions bowed again, took three steps back, and left.

The regent held the little king in one hand, turned around, handed over the heavy sword in his hand, and said, "Knight Hernandez, please help me send this sword back."

Only then did the little king notice that behind the Lord Regent stood a young knight of the Holy Light, smiling at him. He felt that the name was familiar, and after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You're the Hernandez knight? Baron of the Kingdom? The little king asked excitedly, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the lord of the Arathi Basin, may you tell me about his deeds?"

Hernandez had just inserted his heavy sword back, and when he heard this, he was stunned, turned around and stroked his chest, and smiled: "Yes, my king."

"Well, the story of that northern hero, I would also like to hear it." The regent put down the little king, took him by the hand and said, "Why don't we go to the back garden and let His Excellency the Baron talk all the way?"

The two walked out of the corridor holding hands and entered the back garden of the palace, with Hernandez by his side and recounting the legendary experience. The little king kept asking questions, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and his heart was fascinated.

The garden is full of exotic flowers and trees, fragrant in the bright sun, and decorated with white statues of the great heroes of the past of humans and High Elves. The three of them talked as they walked, and from time to time they entered the depths of the garden, and the end was reached.

The Stormwind King's Palace was built in the easternmost part of Stormwind City, on the foundation of the mountain, at the end of which was a hundred-meter cliff, and there was a white stone pavilion on the edge of the cliff, and the three of them walked into it slowly. Standing in the gazebo, the verdant Elwyn Forest stretches at the end of the sky, and above the forest, the golden sun has risen half a day high.

The regent took a deep breath towards the sun, spit out again, and exclaimed, "What a magnificent earth!"

The little king also took a deep breath like him, and with a look of intoxication on his face, he said, "This is my kingdom, the home of mankind, knights, thanks to your protection, I can keep this side in peace."

Hearing this, the regent's face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at the little king and sighed.

The little king asked curiously, "My brave and fearless regent, are you worried about anything?"

Lord Regent Boval-Pagodagen thought for a moment and said, "My king, the world is far from peaceful, and orcs, undead, and trolls are watching over our homeland, even in Stormwind, I can hear them sharpening their knives. They are dreaming of slaughtering our compatriots, enslaving us humans, and ushering this fertile land! ”

The Lord Regent was not alarmist, the flames of war in Azeroth had never been extinguished, and several races had been at war for millennia.

"How so?" The little king's face also became heavy.

The regent squatted down, held the little king's shoulders, looked at his pure gaze, and said: "All this, because we are not united, has given the enemy a chance, if our human kingdom is closely united, no one on this continent will dare to covet our territory, and mankind will live and work in peace and contentment forever."

Hearing this, the little king and Hernandez fell into thought at the same time.

Humans are the most numerous race in Azeroth, but since the collapse of the Arathas Empire, they have been divided, although there has never been a civil war between them, but every time they encounter external humiliation, they have always been unable to twist into a rope, causing the northern kingdoms to decline one after another, and now only Stormwind in the south is left to maintain prosperity. But how long can this state last, and the next time Stormwind encounters a large-scale invasion, other human forces can't give strong assistance, I'm afraid that this last paradise will not be maintained.

War, massacre, enslavement, scenes of cruelty lingered in their minds, and the three of them fell silent.

After a long time had passed, the little king raised his head and looked at the two knights, and asked in a bitter voice, "Shall we do something then?"

When the regent heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a crow's cry came from the east.

Wail.

The three of them turned at the same time, squinting at the dazzling sun, only to see a small black dot appear in the red sun, flying towards this direction, approaching in an instant.

It turned out to be a black crow.

"King, I have come from the starry sky, and I have seen many bad things to convey to you." The raven suddenly spoke, and his voice was old and majestic, full of magnetism.

It was a magical scene, and the little king Anduin Urion was stunned, and after a while he asked, "Who are you?" How can we see the future? ”

The raven did not immediately reply, and its body wrapped in sunlight suddenly began to expand violently, and in an instant, it became an old man in a robe, and landed on the edge of the cliff. At this moment, he was backed by the golden sunlight, and there seemed to be a divine light radiating around him.

"I am Medivan, Guardian of Azeroth." The old man said leisurely: "I live in the starry sky, and I can see the past and future of this continent."

The little king was taken aback, and of course he knew the name of the guardian Medivan, and he no longer doubted it at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then, great prophet, what have you seen this time?"

"Death, destruction, and the earth burned by black flames!" Medivan's tone was sad, and he said categorically: "A great catastrophe will befall the Eastern Kingdom, the invaders come from the depths of the starry sky, they are unprecedentedly powerful, Your Majesty, you can only repel these enemies if you unite the strength of all mankind."

Hearing this, Little King Anduin's heart beat wildly, and his face instantly turned pale, "We, what should we do?" How can I protect the territory my father left me? ”

The regent looked at the worried little king, his face showed a resolute look, he lifted his hem, knelt down on one knee in front of the little king, raised his head and said sincerely: "My king, I will share your worries, I will try to unite all mankind into one, you, just give me a mission."

King Anduin looked at the resolute face in front of him, and after a long time, finally nodded, slowly raised his right hand, and placed it on the top of the head of Berval-stupa root. Hernandez watched from the sidelines, and the three of them were bathed in the sun, leaving a golden silhouette. (To be continued.) )
