115, Lion King Crisis
"Are you going to kill the king!?" Varian shouted, his face contorted with rage, and in front of him was a group of humans dressed as guards.
Not long ago, in a warehouse in the corner of the palace, the lid of a wooden barrel was suddenly opened, and two people quietly came out of it.
As soon as I came out, I heard a noise outside, and one of them said, "Have they already found out!?"
The other person pondered for a moment and said: "It should be like this, but listening to the movement, it should have only just been discovered, what you have to do now is to immediately find a toilet or a kitchen or something like that to show up, just say that you have a stomachache or are hungry or something, in short, deal with this matter first, you are the king, they dare not do anything to you, even if there is any suspicion, as long as you are silent for a while, it should be fine." ”
The man who was called the king nodded in agreement, but as they were about to act, they did not expect that immediately a group of soldiers pushed open the door of the warehouse and found them, and the leader was still a big man.
"I thought of this secret passage location the first time I heard that you were missing, haha, but I didn't expect you to be here. "It was an old man, and there was hardly anyone in the palace who didn't know him, after all, he often came to play chess with Varian, and his identity.
Anthony Ureon, Varian's uncle, a member of the royal family, and one of the elders of the Stormwind Council.
"You still know, don't you?" the meticulously dressed old man sneered at Varian, who was followed by a dozen or so mighty soldiers, who immediately closed the warehouse door as soon as they entered, and then stood behind Anthony with a grim look on his face.
"Anthony!Why...... Why are you doing this!" Seeing that he had been caught, Varian knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, and he looked at the old man with bitterness, this one of his elders, the man he trusted......
"Haha, why? For power, of course!" Anthony no longer concealed his evil face at all, he looked at Varian with a sinister smile, as if he should have said: "After the orc war, if it wasn't for that damn guy of Terenus, you think the king would have been your turn? A cowardly prince who abandoned his people and would only run away with his head in his hands!"
He snorted twice disdainfully: "At that time, I led the remnants of the people to break off, if it weren't for me, how many people would have died? And in the end, everyone forgot about my merits and chose you as the new king, just because you are a prince, and your succession to the throne is above me, haha!
"So Varian, I just took back what was rightfully mine, and it turned out that you weren't fit to be a king at all, and you were played around by everyone, and you were insulted by the name of Ureon. ”
The old man looked impatient, he waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, and then said to Varian, "But since you already know all this, there is no need for you to exist. The soldiers behind him instantly drew their weapons and confronted Varian coldly.
"Are you going to kill the king!?" Varian roared.
"No, no, no, no, we didn't kill you, at least the people outside won't think that we killed you, don't you happen to have someone of unknown origin behind you? Just let him take the blame, from tomorrow, there will be such a news outside, a mysterious assassin has assassinated King Varian, the new king Anduin ascends the throne, and I, as the regent, will assist the young king, hahahaha!
"I'm going to kill you!" Varian became angry, then drew his sword.
"Do it!" At Anthony's command, the soldiers behind him swarmed up, these heavily armed warriors looked much stronger than Varian, but Varian was undaunted, he was confident in his strength, but as soon as he made contact, the confident King His Majesty was shocked and flew out.
"How...... How can it be. Varian flew backwards and knocked over several barrels, and he looked at the soldier with his sword in disbelief, so powerful...... Could it be that even his own strength has been fooled?
"Your Majesty, I'll help you!" Zhang Li's voice came from this moment, and he suddenly disappeared behind a soldier, the dragon's tooth dagger made a dangerous arc, and the steel plate armor was torn apart like wood, but this powerful blow did not kill the soldier, but stuck in his flesh.
"it!"
"Weird Shadow Walk, Dragon's Tooth, are you the one in the Twilight Forest?!" Anthony seemed to know a lot about the news from the outside world, and he recognized Zhang Li at a glance.
"......" Zhang Li found that he couldn't pull out the dragon tooth stuck in the flesh at all, the soldier, his bones were as hard as steel, and his own strength was still too small, and then the soldier's accomplices attacked Zhang Li, Zhang Li had to give up the dragon tooth and fled to Varian's side.
"What kind of monsters are these!?" his expression was as horrified as Varian's.
"Haha, Phantom of Twilight, Nightmare of Shadows, do you have any other nicknames? According to rumors, you are one of Defiya's most troublesome enemies, and since you defected from among them, someone has raised your bounty to the level of a duke, but it seems that this is not the case now. "This old man is really mocking everyone he sees.
"I can't do anything about them for the time being, but I can deal with you!" Zhang Li instantly turned into a shadow, he wanted to let this old man know what it means for a villain to die from talking too much.
After the shadow, Zhang Li can almost take a hundred steps in an instant, and the old man, there are only two soldiers guarding him, even if these soldiers are very strong, but only two can't stop Zhang Li's surprise attack, seeing that Zhang Li is about to approach him, the old man suddenly stretched out his hand, and a blue light suddenly broke out, Zhang Li was forced out in an instant, and hit the wall hard.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm a mage, although I'm not very strong, but it's okay to send a strong light, and sure enough, as the rumors say, you guys can't do anything about the light......"
"Damn! Your Majesty Varian, get out of here! I'll break the back!" Zhang Li spurted out two mouthfuls of blood, but he instantly rushed to Varian's side, and the arcane energy began to surge in his hands, and quickly turned into the power of ice, Zhang Li struggled to spray a large area of frost, thus freezing many soldiers in front of him, although these strong soldiers were constantly breaking the ice, but they would soon be restrained by the new cold.
"Run! I won't last long!"
Varian looked at Zhang Li's back, gritted his teeth and was about to run in the direction of the barrel where the secret passage was hidden, but he didn't run a few steps, and there was a burst of breaking sound behind him, Varian hurriedly looked back, only to see a few soldiers who were not frozen deep directly picked up the wine barrel next to him and threw it here, in the face of this flying murder weapon, although Varian tried his best to resist, but he only had a long sword, and in the end he did not escape the attack of the barrel, and was slapped on the ground, difficult to get up.
"Stand up, run!" Zhang Li shouted to Varian.
"Hahaha, it's really surprising, I didn't think you were still a mage. At this time, the villain who talked a lot spoke again.
