The Upwind Trail area is on the northernmost border of the Elwyn Forest, where the roads are rugged and the dangers of wild beasts lurk on both sides of the forested roads.

At this time, the headwind trail was still verdant, and as a direct fief of two successive generations of guardians, it was also thriving.

Riding on a griffin, he looked down at the small villages that passed below, most of which had been destroyed in the orc wars and were deserted.

It was only after the proximity to the Karazan Tower that the nearby villages became popular, with scattered fires scattered throughout the forest.

After the outbreak of the war, the vast majority of the refugees flocked to the interior of the Stormwind Kingdom and headed for Stormwind City.

The few refugees gathered near the Guardian Tower, where Medivan sheltered them from the orc army.

But what they don't know is that all this is just a fleeting bubble of illusion.

"Look, that village is under attack!" Lothar shouted, pointing to a medium-sized village below.

"Landing, all landing, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be orcs in this area, go down and have a look!"

Hu Feng made a gesture, and the group of griffons immediately began to swoop towards the ground.

Immediately after landing, noisy shouts and wails filled the ears of the group, and there were burning houses everywhere.

Lothar immediately drew his sword and rushed into the village first.

"Not an orc... The Black Cavalry, the Black Knight of the Guardian Territory, F**K... Lothar cursed, pulled out the musket from his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

"Stop, what are you doing? Is this your attitude towards your fellow citizens? When did Medivan let you work as a bandit?"

The Black Knights, a special unit of the Guardian Territory, were formed by Medivan.

Not only are they responsible for the security of the entire territory, but they also have a special mission, which is to collect all kinds of treasured antiques for Medivan, as well as a variety of valuable weapons and equipment collections.

The captain of the knights, who had stayed in the middle of the village on a black armored warhorse, turned around and looked at Lothar when he heard this.

"I'm from Stormwind, I advise you not to meddle in your business, this is a direct order from Lord Medivan, if you have any opinions, go back and tell King Lane. ”

"I am Lothar, the Generalissimo of the Stormwind Kingdom, and behind me is the great Tai... ”

"I don't care who you and your friends are, noble lord from Stormwind, we're looking for a stolen artifact, we've got word that the artifact is hiding in the hands of some untouchable here at the moment. ”

Boss Hu patted Lothar on the shoulder and shook his head.

"Come on, this group of people is estimated to be a little abnormal by Medivan's influence, so just kill it and it's over... Ollie, shoot him. ”

Aurelia couldn't help it for a long time, and when she heard this, she immediately picked up her artifact longbow "Solidar* Wrath of the Stars", the bowstring pulled, and an arcane energy arrow roared out, the whole process did not take more than two seconds, so fast that it was too late to react.

The captain of the knights clutched his neck and hissed, then fell off his horse and fell to the ground convulsing and slowly dying.

Sylvanas snorted, jumped onto the roof of a house, and began shooting the Black Knights around him.

The thief, Garona, was elusive, and as if she didn't need to cool down, Shadowwalk kept shuttling behind her targets, and then slashed their throats with a long dagger.

Hu Feng frowned, the knight captain didn't seem to be lying, he did sense a faint energy fluctuation, it should be a very good weapon, it can be regarded as an artifact of the mortal race.

With a wave of his hand, the majestic rain fell instantly, extinguishing the flames burning everywhere.

The surviving villagers walked out of their hiding places in fear, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at this group of powerful nobles.

"It's not safe here, and according to King Lane's Refugee Response Act, you can go to Stormwind and find a new job, where you will be properly accommodated. ”

Lothar stood on a pile of barrels and shouted at the survivors.

Boss Hu walked to the ruins of a wooden house, a little girl with a dirty face was standing next to a cellar door by the wall of the ruins of the wooden house, and when she saw a stranger coming over, her expression immediately became nervous, and she subconsciously blocked the cellar door behind her.

Her parents also immediately ran over, grabbed their child, and knelt on the ground together.

"Are you protecting, little sister?" Hu Feng asked, squatting down and smiling, pouting towards the cellar.

"Your Excellency, merciful Lord, we are all official civilians registered by the Kingdom, and there is absolutely no crime against the laws of the Kingdom, please... ”

"I know, but I'm not asking you, I'm asking her. Boss Hu interrupted the nervous explanation of the girl's parents.

The little girl lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at Hu Feng in front of her, her body trembled a little, and her fists were clenched.

"Why did the lord's black knight kill us, shouldn't the noble lord protect us?"

Hu Feng was stunned when he heard this, then laughed a few times, and waved his hand to stop the girl's parents from panicking and wanting to kneel again.

"Because some of the nobles are damned bad people, who have fallen into the trap and treat you commoners as pigs to be slaughtered, as tools to be exploited to your heart's content. As he spoke, Boss Hu rubbed the little girl's hair and pouted at the cellar again.

"There's something in there that doesn't belong to you, right?"

"I just picked it up in the convoy that was attacked, I didn't steal! The girl immediately explained excitedly.

"I know, I know, listen carefully, it's very powerful, so you have to hide it so that no one else finds it again, keep your hands and feet clean, you know, don't take it out until you're proficient. ”

"You... Won't you snatch it?"

"Why should I snatch it, what you pick up, naturally belongs to you, but others don't think so. ”

The little girl immediately nodded desperately, "I know, you are a good person, and those noble lords are bad people." ”

"I'm also a nobleman. Boss Hu laughed a few times when he heard this.

"But you're a good person. The little girl said firmly.

"Okay, okay, I'm a good person, remember what I said, it's for your good. ”

Boss Hu, who was forcibly issued a good person card, didn't care, rubbed Xiao Lori's head again, got up and returned to Lothar's party, and rode the griffin to take off again.

As for the group of refugees whose villages have been destroyed, whether they will take refuge in Stormwind or whether they will continue to stay here is their own business.

No one is a savior or a saint for the whole world, but you can always be a one-sided good person, right?

A few hours later, late at night.

The little girl entered the cellar, closed the wooden door overhead, and climbed down the ladder.

Pushing open the messy wooden barrel and wooden boxes, a delicate long wooden box in the corner was revealed, and the four corners were wrapped in fine iron with carved patterns.

Open the wooden box, and there is a two-handed sword lying quietly inside.

The two-handed sword, called Apocalypse, contains the immense power of sleeping death and evil shadows, and it is truly an artifact.

Held in the hands of the little girl, the two-handed sword seemed to have no weight at all, so that it could be easily held by its temporary master.

When they grow up, they will use this sword to kill all those bad nobles, and they will treat the commoners as pigs, then they themselves will become pigs.

Ironically, an artifact full of death and evil should be used to carry out a righteous and pure will.

At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled violently, like a violent earthquake.

The little girl immediately crawled out of the cellar, and she immediately saw something unusual.

Not far away, at the top of the Karazhan Tower, an extremely strong energy spread out like a tsunami, and dark green evil energy and golden divine power were intertwined.

The upwind trail is being destroyed, and wherever the energy passes, everything that has life dies in an instant.

The destroyed village was truly completely destroyed this time, and everyone was killed in an instant, turning into a corpse with a hideous expression.

Through the broken walls, the little girl saw the twisted bodies of her parents.

Then, she was bombarded by the energy tsunami and fell into the cellar again, the Apocalypse Sword in her hand slamming into the ground beside her.

Endless pain swept through her body, and vast power was raging within her.
