Chapter 27 What a picture of a father's love and filial piety
No wonder Arthas was not affected by the Frost Grief, but it still made him feel so fierce.
Since this person is Xu Mochao, everything can be explained.
Whether he is a decent person or a villain, Arthas has a pivotal position in this secret world, and there is definitely meat to eat with him!
What a son of luck!
But then again, if you can meet this son of luck and be in the same camp as him, doesn't it mean that your luck is not bad?
At this time, hearing Xu Mochao say this, Ouyang Chong hurriedly whispered, "Please, you are also a little low-key?" What if there are other practitioners nearby? ”
Although Ouyang Chong knew in his heart that as long as others saw that Xu Mochao was not blackened like in the normal plot, they would naturally doubt his identity.
But he still felt that this matter could be concealed for a while, and the later the other party knew Xu Mochao's identity, the better it would be for them.
After all, this is Alsace!
Ouyang Chong didn't think that other people could have an identity equivalent to Xu Mochao, let alone Illidan and Sal, even if it was not possible for non-protagonist heroes such as Kelsagad and Hell Roar.
The vast majority of people are estimated to be an ordinary foot man, orc infantryman, and archer, and it is already very lucky to be a captain like him.
Xu Mochao couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he heard his words, this "Northern Hero" is a good person, but he is too cautious.
Being able to gather two Practitioners in such a short period of time is already a small probability event, how can there be a third?
Even if there were, it would never happen at this time!
Yes, that's it.
Then again, Arthas is really good enough to play such a good hand by him......
Looking at the people with sincere smiles on their faces, Xu Mochao stopped and looked at the red petals in his hand, a little distracted.
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid everyone here would be slaughtered by the undead next, right?
In this way, they are not mistaken people.
Well, that's it.
Enjoying this cheer, Xu Mochao continued to walk towards the royal official while waving to everyone.
Pale yellow dress, fluffy hair.
The girl in the crowd looked so chic......
Xu Mochao retracted his gaze, and soon, he was about to see his father in this world.
Next should be the legendary scene of filial piety, right?
……
……
The old king, Terenus Mirhil II, was holding his chin in one hand.
He is really old, and he still vividly remembers the situation when he stood at the city gate to supervise the battle with a big sword in his hand during the second war, how heroic he was at that time?
Even the leader of the Alliance, the legendary hero Lothar, was appointed by him, and as the benevolent ruler of Lordaeron and the entire Alliance, he was the strongest leader since the division of the Arathor Empire.
However, since the end of the Second War, especially after the failure of his daughter's marriage, it has dealt a heavy blow to him.
Over the years, Terenus has struggled to prop up the crumbling alliance, but the kingdoms of Gilneth, Fort Riptide, and Quel'Thalas have banded together to veto his proposals.
Perhaps this is the root of human inferiority, and when there is no external enemy, it will fall into internal strife.
Happily, he has a wonderful son.
He was a perfect successor in every way, and Terenus did everything in his power to nurture him.
Give him the foal "Invincible", send him to Dalaran to learn magic, and quickly communicate with Gianna's father Dalein when he falls in love with Gianna, paving all possible obstacles for his son.
Including this battle against the orcs, even Uther was full of praise for him.
It was only when he heard about Arthas's strange deeds after investigating the plague, especially the destruction of the city of Stratholme and the expedition to Northrend, that he could not sit still.
At Uther's strong advice, he gave the order to recall the Alsatian army.
He knew that this would break the heart of his proud son, but as a king, he had to do it.
However, after the order was given to return to the city, there was no news of Arthas.
To this day, the news of Alsace's defeat of Melganis at Northrend has thrown the entire capital into festive celebrations.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise, the result of the palace door being violently pushed open from the outside.
I saw Xu Mochao striding into the palace with two entourages, obviously, his expression looked very unhappy.
"Ah, my child!"
The moment he saw Xu Mochao, Terenus stood up excitedly and greeted him.
As Arthas's father, Terenus was at first reluctant to believe that he would slaughter the city, but when Uther himself reported to him what had happened, he fell silent.
As king of Lordaeron, he had to make the decision to let him return on the occasion of the expedition to Alsace.
He could have imagined how sad Alsace was at that time.
Fortunately, it's all over......
"Old man, you look haggard, are you alright?"
Noticing that Terenus's face was not very good-looking, Muradin couldn't help but step forward and ask.
At this time, Terenus saw clearly that the short man who followed Xu Mochao was not an entourage, but an old friend of his.
"Muradin, it's you, I didn't expect to see you here! Magni and I thought you were ......"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Terenus's words, Muradin stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "You are right, if it weren't for this kid this time, I'm afraid I really won't see you again." ”
Xu Mochao and Ouyang Chong on the side pouted their lips in unison.
If it weren't for Xu Mochao, would you have hung up at this time?
Of course, this is not convenient to say now.
"Son, come and sit down and tell me what the plague is all about!"
Terenus patted his throne and said to Xu Mochao.
This action shocked everyone except Xu Mochao, that is the throne!
Even if everyone knew that Lordaeron's future king could only be Arthas, wasn't that a little too fast?
However, looking back, the prince was indeed greatly wronged this time, and he was desperately killing the enemy on the front line for the whole country and the people, but he was told by the rear to withdraw the army......
Thinking of this, all the guards present even complained a little about Uther, the lightbringer.
It's no wonder that the prince dismissed him from his position in Stratholme, and I heard that he was also stripped of the title of paladin, which must have been forced!
It's so hard for a prince!
Therefore, it is not surprising that this time the prince was able to return triumphantly, and the old king and he staged a picture of father and son filial piety here.
"My child, I can understand what you have done, but those who came back from Stratholme are miserable...... They said their family was crying and begging you to let them go, but you ......"
The thought of those people saying that there was a heinous murderous race between Arthas and Melganis was a bit unacceptable to Tyrenus until now.
Xu Mochao sat down beside the old king unceremoniously, and said angrily, "Those who are turned into zombies are even worse!" There is no peace when you die, and you have to help the undead army attack your relatives and friends. ”
Ouyang Chong on the side also interjected, "His Royal Highness the Prince is right!" Your Majesty, those inhabitants at that time had already consumed contaminated food, and if left unchecked, they would become our enemies!
In that case, purifying them before they mutate is the only way! ”
Muradin, who was on the side, sighed, "The undead are really terrible, they can turn living people into lifeless undead, if it were me, I would rather be killed after being infected than become that ghost." ”
Terenus was silent for a long time, and did not speak again.
He knew very well that no amount of debate on this issue would lead to any result.
If he really had to choose between becoming an undead and being killed, he would have chosen to be killed by the neck like Muradin, but the question is, who knows if the people of Stratholme will be saved at that time?
What if they can still save it?
So there is no way to wash the matter of the Alsace massacre.
Fortunately, now that the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, Melganis, is dead, Arthas has atoned for his sins in another way, and judging by how well the people welcome him, they seem to have forgiven him.
Or rather, the person who is truly qualified to forgive him is dead......
"By the way, there's one more thing to tell you......"
Terenus thought for a moment, decided that it was better not to talk about the slaughter of the city, and moved on to another matter.
"Before sending you to investigate the plague, Dalaran's ambassador suggested setting up a quarantine area to deal with the plague, but I refused."
"Why?"
Xu Mochao said strangely, although this method cannot cure the root cause, it can also cure the symptoms!
If Lordaeron really did that, Arthas, who couldn't figure out the original plot, wouldn't have defected.
"The people of Lordaeron have been devastated by war and should not suffer from any more isolation!"
At this point, Terenus suddenly became excited, "They've suffered too much! ”
"Hehe......"
Xu Mochao smiled and said nothing, if they knew the development of the situation, I am afraid they would fight to isolate, right?
"Then a man in the form of a raven appeared in the halls of the Union Council, my child, do you know what that madman said to me?
He actually said that this continent was hopeless, and asked me to quickly evacuate the Eastern Kingdom with all my people and go to Kalimdor, and said that otherwise everything would cease to exist! ”
"Oh......"
Xu Mochao thought for a while, "I have also seen this person, he came to me before going to Stratholme and said the same thing. ”
"He's just a madman!"
"It's not a madman, it's more appropriate to say it's a god stick," Xu Mochao smiled slightly, "especially when you know his identity." ”
"Do you know who he really is?"
This time it was Terenus' turn to be surprised.
