With the men behind him scouting, Kael'thas was convinced that their current location was safe, and that the pursuing orcs had not sought it.

They were still probing from afar, but they certainly found nothing.

So, Kael'thas made the decision to wait.

He had the Hammer Dwarves flying in the sky come down with them, sit in the forest to rest and wait for dark.

Vorstad should soon pass the information on to the Alliance commanders, and it will take a little time for the nearby human soldiers to come to their aid, and night is the best time to sneak attack.

Darkness is naturally hidden

More importantly, Kael'thas has to wait for Valera and her return to determine the enemy's disposition.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring Long Ying here."

Looking at the resting Brute Hammer Dwarves, Kael'thas with long hair said regretfully.

Before going to battle, he didn't bring a dragon eagle because he expected his battlefield to be a forest and the griffin knights of the barbarian hammer dwarves.

"It's okay, Your Highness, didn't Lord Furstad say that he would send more griffon knights?"

After Liadline had eaten her fill, she sat down next to Kael'thas and said.

"Mage plus mount is the best partner."

Kael'thas turned his head and smiled, although most of Quel'Thalas's dragon eagles were also rangers, but there were also some mages who he believed were the strongest troops in the sky.

"However, Valera's information is coming back soon, right?"

Then he remembered something else.

Liadelin nodded: "According to the distance, it won't take more than 1 hour to come back at the latest." ”

She was also a little worried about her friend.

The fear disappeared in half an hour, and the thieves returned.

"Your Highness"

When Valella returned, she handed the original map back to Kael'thas and, without saying any more, nibbled on some of the remaining magical bread beside her.

Apparently hungry, though rarely shown, Kael'thas discovers that the female thief has a surprising attachment to food.

[Has anything happened before?] 】

Confused, he opened the map.

It's a little different from what I saw last time, and the map is marked with some dense circles.

"Are these the other side's troop deployments?"

Kael'thas turned to ask Valera, who nodded as he ate.

"Well done."

It's much easier to do that, Kael'thas complimented, and then looked closely.

Just as he was almost sure of his course, Valera had eaten about the same.

"Valera"

Liadline kindly handed her a bag of water, and Valera took a large sip before reporting to Kael'thas.

"Your Highness, that cave is very well guarded, and we can't be sure what to do inside."

She sat down on the other side of Kael'thas and patted her stomach contentedly:

"However, their actions are very unusual, and they do have something planned in that cave."

It seems that Kael'thas is not wrong in his speculation this time.

- The Coalition will send soldiers to help, for sure.

Kael'thas believed that the soldiers were supposed to be from Fort Riptide, the largest city in the Arathi Heights and the capital of the first kingdom of mankind. But he guessed wrong this time, the alliance sent a strong force.

A team of knights with silver hands, led by the girl he knew well, Kalia.

Although this princess of Lordaeron is not the most powerful, she has a noble status and is also a disciple of Mograine, so she has the power to lead a paladin combat unit.

But at this moment, in Nanhai Town, Princess Lordaeron, who had just received the order to set off, looked at the man in front of her with a cold face.

"I think it's my greatest honor to be your subordinate."

The handsome and gentle young knight knelt on one knee, pressed the hilt of his sword with his right hand, looked up with respectful and delightful eyes, and said:

"Her Royal Highness the Silver Princess"

The Silver Princess is another name given to Kalia by many paladins, known as the 'Princess of the Silver Hand'. They thought it would be disrespectful to call her 'Princess of Lordaeron' and put Kalia in the same position as the weak human princesses.

Kalia Minahir, a genius who has controlled the Light since she was young, is a girl who carries out justice and is the proud princess of the paladins.

However, now is not the time to care about the title.

Kalia knew the knight in front of her, and it was impossible for her not to know him, because it was because of him that Kalia became a real knight.

Belluker, the young viscount who killed innocent refugees, once brought her sad memories.

Kalia drew her sword and pointed it at Beluker.

"Your Highness?"

"Princess!?"

Several paladins around her immediately looked at Kalia in astonishment, not understanding why she would make such a move.

However, Kalia shook her head, ignoring the paladins, staring at Belukr with blue eyes full of will, and asked:

"I ask you, what is your justice?"

The voice is crisp and calm, and you can vaguely hear the familiar voice of the year.

Belluker was a little nostalgic, a little sad, but more than a little joyful.

"My righteousness is a knight."

He replied with a smile, this answer, how many years ago, was the answer of the princess in front of him.

Time passed, and Bellukel was finally able to become a true paladin, to be able to appear to her again and tell the girl that he had found the same justice.

Behind is the setting sun, and the bright sunset is opening a new curtain.

In the slanting light, the two looked at each other quietly, and the young knight kept a smile on his face, allowing the other to scrutinize.

"Very good answer."

After a long time, Kalia withdrew her sword and said coldly:

"Welcome to my ranks, Knight of Beluker."

There was no hatred or contempt in her words, her eyes were deep and calm, and the angry girl of that night had grown up

Grow into a big-hearted, true paladin

Belluker sensed the fact that not only himself, but also the other party was growing rapidly.

"Thank you"

He closed his eyes, bowed his head, and replied with a conviction that no one else could understand:

"I will be your shield and your sword, so please drive me as you like."

This is a decision that has been made up for a long time

From seeing the girl again

Bellukel got it

He wanted to be by his side to help the princess and guide her in picking the most glorious fruits

No one is more suitable to stand at the top than the princess in front of him

Stand at the apex of all the poor, all the nobles

Belukr wanted to put on her the crown of the king of men, the king of knights
