"I'll go!"

Before the crowd could react, an old and loud voice was heard. The crowd followed the prestige, but saw the pale-faced Uther limping in with the support of his soldiers.

"You're like this now, how can you go into battle and kill the enemy?" looked at the scarred Uther, Terenus shook his head and rejected his proposal.

Uther admired his devotion to his country, but for now, his injuries were unfit to play. Even in the ensuing battle to encircle and suppress the orc army, Terenus didn't want him to be involved again.

"I... Yes, in order to... Lordan... Ahem. Before Uther could finish his sentence, a violent cough followed.

"I'll go in your place, teacher!"

It was Arthas who spoke, and in addition to Prince Lordaeron, he was a close disciple of Uther. Arthas was staring at Uther with his blue eyes. He desperately wanted to be recognized by his teacher.

"Your Majesty, I also approve of the Prince of Arthas going on this mission!"

In Arthas's astonished eyes, Abidis stepped forward and said to Terenus, "Your Majesty, every general present here is physically and mentally exhausted after a long battle, and it is time for them to rest for tomorrow's pursuit. And His Royal Highness the Prince is in full swing at the moment, coupled with his heroic and invincible dominance that convinces the soldiers, the best candidate for this mission is none other than His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Hmm..."

After listening to Abidis's words, Terenus hesitated. But it is undeniable that Alsace is the best candidate for this mission.

Seeing that his father was a little hesitant, Arthas was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing. He had waited so long for the opportunity to finally have the opportunity to lead the troops alone and contribute to his country and people. Will his childhood wish come true on this day?, but at the same time he was afraid, afraid that the only opportunity would slip away in his father's hesitation......

"If Your Majesty is really not at ease," Abidis said slowly, "Then Your Majesty can send another general to assist His Royal Highness in this mission." After all, the opponent is a ferocious orc, and it's always good to be cautious. ”

When Arthas, who was holding his breath, heard the marshal's first words, he subconsciously thought that he was going to lose this opportunity again. But the second half of Abidis's words rekindled Alsace's hope.

"Father..."

Arthas wanted to say something, but the awe he had for his father from an early age stuck in his throat. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and anger his father, and that he would lose this chance to prove himself.

Hesitantly, Terenus felt Arthas's gaze. That longing, of awe, is like a prisoner waiting for his final judgment......

"So..."

Under Arthas's gaze, Terenus slowly spoke: "Who is willing to assist His Royal Highness the Prince in completing this mission?"

One sentence, only a dozen words, but like a beam of light shining into Alsace's heart.

God knows how many days and nights he had been waiting for this day? He endured loneliness alone in the Beifeng Fortress, practicing his martial arts every day, and even if his hands were blistered, he could not shake his determination. Because he was the prince of Lordaeron, and the future monarch of the land, he could not tolerate even the slightest slack in himself......

Finally, he ushered in this day, and he believed that it would be a journey that would change his fate. Of course, Arthas was not wrong, but what he did not expect was that the fate of another person was also changed by this different journey.

"I would like to go with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

In the hall, two voices rang out in unison. They are Farrar and Tirio Fordin. Others were hesitant because they were wounded.

The two made eye contact, and they both saw each other's embarrassment.

"General Tirio Fortin, you are so badly wounded, leave this mission to me. Farrar was the first to speak. It wasn't that he wanted to take the credit, but seeing that blood was still oozing from Old Ferdin's shoulder, he was a little worried about him. After all, he is nearly ten years younger than him and can withstand this kind of long-distance bumps.

"Nonsense..."

Tirio Ferdin, angry and funny, refuted lightly: "This mission is extremely dangerous, you are all the pillars of Lordaeron's future, how can you risk your life?

"This..."

Farrar was speechless.

After all, Tirio Ferding had reached the stage of a paladin years earlier. That's the highest achievement you can achieve as a knight. This is far from what he can compare to as a high-ranking knight.

"Alright, you guys don't fight yet. "Looking at the two parties who 'quarreled' over this mission, Terenus did not feel angry because of this. On the contrary, every general under his command could do his best for Lordaeron, and that was what he wanted to see.

"Let's hear from General Uther. Terenus smiled, the wrinkles on his forehead twisted together.

"If Your Majesty wants His Royal Highness the Prince to go on an expedition, then I suggest that General Tirio Fording accompany him. Uther gave his opinion.

After listening to Uther's words, Farrar was about to speak out, but was interrupted by the former, "General Farrar, you are tired today. Besides, tomorrow's pursuit, your Storm Knights will definitely be the top priority. Do you feel free to hand over your soldiers to someone else?"

Farrar was silenced by the words. He had to admit that Uther was right. Since it is a pursuit battle, the cavalry will definitely charge forward as the main force, will he rest assured that he will hand over the knights under his command to others to command?

The answer is clearly no.

After figuring out this layer, Farrar no longer hesitated, and arched his hand at Terenus: "But it is up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Terenus nodded in satisfaction, and as he was about to give the order, Galia's voice came from beside him. "Father, Galya has a piece of news. ”

"What's wrong, Galya?" Tyrenus looked at his daughter in confusion.

Galia frowned slightly, and whispered her concerns: "Judging from the information received, the orc troops guarding Nanhai Town are led by a powerful orc wizard. Without knowing the enemy, Galia suggested sending several powerful magicians to accompany her. ”

"This..."

Hearing this, Terenus looked at Elon in the corner with some embarrassment.

The powerful existence of the magician has long been monopolized by Dalaran. Even Terenus, as the lord of a nation, could not force the magician of Dalaran to do anything. What's more, before that, Elon had mentioned to himself, intentionally or unintentionally, that after this battle, they would return to Dalaran.

So after hearing Galya's suggestion, Terenus hesitated.

At this time, with a loud laugh, a tall and mighty figure appeared at the door, attracting everyone to follow the prestige.

"Lothar?"

Seeing the visitor, Terenus raised an eyebrow. And behind him, in addition to the well-known Khadgar mage, there were also several unfamiliar faces.

Inside the hall, everyone looked at the group that followed behind Lothar who did not look like soldiers. A skinny human, a dwarf. There were two more women, but judging by the way one of them was dressed, she was supposed to be a magician.

"Lucy?"

Among the generals, Alvaro, who was standing beside Rupat, recognized a familiar and beautiful figure at a glance. But what puzzled him was, how could Lucy be in such a place?

"General Álvaro?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the longing man.

Thinking of the hardships and dangers along the way, she cried with joy and almost threw herself into Álvaro's arms. However, in front of so many people in the main hall, she was a little embarrassed and had to give up.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was a little confused. Finally, after receiving some explanation from Lothar, everyone suddenly looked at Álvaro, their eyes full of ambiguity. Alvaro couldn't look up...

This sudden meeting also eased the serious atmosphere in the hall a lot. But the only thing that doesn't fit in with this warm atmosphere is Semuel.

"What the hell is Ilbert's shit, what the hell is his men doing!" Although there was no strange appearance on the surface, this woman made Semur's heart stir.

He had sent the Ilbert guy to intercept and kill this woman a few days ago, and he thought he was foolproof, but he didn't expect such a serious mistake.

When that guy comes back, I'll be sure to 'thank' him, Semuel thought resentfully. However, what he didn't know was that Ilbet's troops had been wiped out a few days earlier, and even he himself had already been killed by Xue Huan and Thoyle.

"Elon?" At this moment, a familiar figure came into Khadgar's line of sight, and he excitedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Khadgar, why are you here?" Elon didn't expect to see an old friend here, but he only bowed his head slightly with a gentlemanly demeanor, and didn't show his excitement on the surface.

The two had been familiar with each other since Dalaran, and although they didn't have much in common, they occasionally argued over matters related to magical academics, and they were already old acquaintances.

"Hey, let's not talk about this yet, let me ask you something..."

After greeting each other, Khadgar glanced back at Xue Huan and whispered in Elon's ear, "Did you see that little guy behind Lothar when you were in Dalaran?"

Elon looked in the direction indicated by Khadgar's eyes, and after seeing Xue Huan's appearance, he shook his head and said in an inaudible voice, "I've never seen it, what's wrong?"

Elon's words made Khadgar even more suspicious of Xue Huan's identity......

"According to one of the generals of Lordaeron...", Khadgar paused, apparently organizing his own language, "That little guy is a great magician!"

"The Great Devil... How is that possible!"

Hearing this explosive news, Elon, who had always been restrained, almost exclaimed, and it took him a long time to barely restrain himself. He lowered his voice as much as he could, and said to Khadgar in surprise, "The number of Great Magicians of Dalaran can be counted in the palm of two hands, and most of them have been related to you and me. Even if the two of us have been cultivating for decades since childhood, we have only reached the level of high-level mages. You say that little one, how could it be..."

There was suspicion in Elon's tone...

He didn't question Khadgar's words, after all, after knowing him for so many years, he still knew Khadgar's personality relatively well.

"Have you seen his badge?" said Elon, a crucial question.

Hearing this, Khadgar shook his head, "But according to the general Lordaeron, that little guy used a few very powerful spells to kill an orc leader on his own. ”

"Is there anything strange about that?" said Elon, looking at Khadgar with some confusion. In his opinion, any intermediate mage could do this.

"That's not the point..."Khadgar shook his head, then stared at Elon with a deep gaze, and said slowly, "According to my investigation, if my guess is correct, the spell that guy used should be..."

Under Elon's gaze, Khadgar slowly spat out two words that terrified him......

"Evil power!"
