Half an hour later—

On the docks of Kings Harbour, the Northrend expedition fleet has been assembled and is about to embark on its journey.

There are not only three Stormwind Kingdom warships, but also seven Lordaeron warships, as well as a Dalaran expedition ship.

Everywhere there were peasants carrying supplies and soldiers boarding ships in formations.

The adventurers gathered on the dock in groups, some chatting and farting, some calling friends, some practicing professional skills, and some planting flags to duel, and from time to time you could hear the screams of the losers.

Arthas couldn't help but be a little surprised along the way, the size of the fleet was even larger than he expected.

By the time the two of them reached the end of the port, he finally knew why.

Varian was chatting with a group of people around him.

Varian (Prince of the Storm): "Are you sure you want to go to Northrend with me?" This expedition is very dangerous, no one knows what terrible things will await us there, and I cannot guarantee your safety. ”

Barbarian King Conan (Prince Lordaeron): "Brother Varian, don't worry, although you are the 'Storm God of War', but we are not weak, and we don't know who will help whom when we encounter danger." ”

Jon Snow (Prince Lordaeron): "That's right, a good man with three gangs, we four brothers and sisters will help you together, I think there is a better chance of finding Frost Sorrow, when the time comes- hehehe." ”

Winter is approaching (Prince Lordaeron): "When the time comes, you can avenge your father, as for us, just give us some treasure, I think there will be other loot from this expedition." ”

Arthas was surprised to see that it was his three older brothers and one older sister, Conan the Barbarian, Jon Snow, Winter Coming, and Elsa.

Seeing Murphy and Arthas arrive, several people over there also noticed them.

Elsa (Princess Lordaeron): "Arthas, you're here, knowing that your sister is going to go away, so you came to see me off?" I knew I didn't hurt you in vain, and I invited you to eat fruit cake when I was a child, do you remember? ”

Arthas was a little embarrassed, "Twelfth brother, eighteenth brother, thirty-second brother, and sixteenth sister, why are you here?" ”

Barbarian Conan (Prince Lordaeron): "We have decided to go on an expedition to Northrend with His Highness Varian. ”

"Why?"

Barbarian Conan (Prince Lordaeron): "Why else, Godwin's hypocrite is as small as a needle's eye, I targeted him a little harshly that day, and now that he is regent, can he have me?" Sooner or later, he's going to be harmed, so of course he's going to have to leave the country. ”

"Big brother, he can't be like that, right?" Arthas said in a tone that was not very confident.

Jon Snow (Prince Lordaeron): "Don't look at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, he is very insidious, don't let him be fooled by the title of 'Shine of Light', otherwise he will suffer a big loss sooner or later." ”

Winter is coming (Prince Lordaeron): "That's right, I think nine out of ten percent of my father was killed by him, and the damn group of alliance leaders are fucking not responsible, what to take into account the overall situation, I think I just want Godwin to lead the troops to take the lead for them, and I don't even pursue the death of my father, I think this alliance is eating jujube pills, or you go to Northrend with us, maybe you can - cough cough, why are you kicking me?" ”

The second half of the sentence is addressed to Elsa.

Elsa touched Arthas's hair, "Little brother, you are too sincere, you have to be careful in the future, my sister will not be able to protect you by your side in the future, you have to be good." Saying that, Elsa hugged Arthas and cried bitterly, with a posture of life and death, but there was not a single tear, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit fake.

Arthas was very anxious by the output of several brothers and sisters, and his brothers and sisters were probably not very careful, but now, he really didn't know what to say.

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "I'm going to talk to Prince Varian alone, can you avoid it?" ”

The four of them shrugged their shoulders, "Okay, then let's carry the supplies first." ”

When the four of them left, the three brothers looked at each other again.

Compared with the last time they met, the three of them were in a state of mind at this time.

The last time Varian killed his father, he was indirectly betrayed by Alsace's father, so the relationship between the three was somewhat awkward.

Now there is no such barrier at all, everyone is a child without a father, what else can't be seen.

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Second brother, you have to be careful when you go to Northrend this time, I didn't want you to go, but since you must go, I will give you a suggestion, you can start from the Dragonbone Wilderness." ”

That's right, the historical location of Frost Sorrow is in the Cave of Sorrow in the Dragonbone Wilds.

Of course, no one knows where this grief cave is, and the timeline is not right now, and I don't know if the sword is in place, but it is more reliable than looking for it blindly.

Varian nodded, "I'll think about it." ”

Arthas (Prince Lordaeron): "Second brother, what happened that day?" How the hell did my father die? ”

Varian looked at Murphy, who squeezed his eyes at Varian, who nodded knowingly.

"I was preparing for an audience that day, and while I was waiting, suddenly there was a shout of killing from the main hall, and I hurried in, and as soon as I entered, I saw a group of orc assassins besieging the king, and the guards were desperately resisting.

I hurried up to help, and as soon as I killed two orcs, I was stopped by a powerful orc warrior.

The orc was not wearing armor, he was shirtless, and he held an extremely sharp blade in his hand, and I fought with him for more than a dozen rounds and finally killed him with a sword, but I didn't expect him to disappear as a phantom with a pop.

At the same time I heard King Tenaris screaming, and when I looked up, I saw him slain by the orc warrior with a single sword.

It was then that I realized that the one I was fighting against was actually just a mirror image, that orc warrior was supposed to be a Juggernaut, and the mirror doppelganger was the secret technique unique to the Swordsman of the Fireblade Clan.

I tried to intercept him, but the orc disappeared into thin air in an instant, and I was frantically besieged by a group of orc assassins and had to give up.

I killed a dozen orc assassins, but there were so many of them that I ended up getting seriously wounded, and then you rushed in. ”

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Did that orc Juggernaut have a string of beads around his neck?" ”

"Yes, that's it."

"That must be that Samuro didn't run, he fought with Sarufar in Alterac and killed my two brothers, and then the orcs were defeated, and Samuro disappeared, but I didn't expect to run to Lordaeron."

Although Arthas had never seen Samuro, he also participated in the Battle of Snow Wolf Plain, and knew the existence of this orc sword master, thinking that he was not far away from this person on the battlefield, if he could kill Samuro, all this would not have happened.

"But there's one thing I've always been a little weird about." Varian said suddenly.

Murphy hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Audience Room is located at the entrance to the King's Hall, and if the Orcs were to assassinate King Tenaris through the Audience Room, I would have been able to find out that even if these Assassins were able to sneak in, they would have to open the door to enter, and the guards outside the King's Hall had not noticed the existence of the Orc Assassins.

So I'm curious about how these orc assassins got into the King's Hall. ”

Mo Fei pretended to be pensive and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "I thought that the only possibility is that they had been ambushed inside the palace in advance. ”

Arthas listened to the analysis of his two elder brothers, and suddenly understood something.

Sure enough, it was his 'brother' who did it.

Only those within the kingdom can put these orcs into the palace.

As for who did it, the eldest brother Godwin is undoubtedly the most suspicious, only he has the ability to put dozens of orc assassins into the palace in advance, you must know that the entrance to the palace of Lordaeron is guarded by anti-hidden enchantments and guards, and it is almost impossible to be infiltrated under normal circumstances.

He looked at Varian with a heavy face, "Second brother, you say, did the eldest brother - eh, Brother Godwin did it?" ”

Varian looked embarrassed.

"It's really inconvenient for me to say such a thing, but-"

Arthas directly stated the reason for coming to him, "I saw my father in a dream last night, and he said that I was in danger, and that he was killed by one of my 'brothers'. ”

"What! I see," Varian nodded, "I can't hold back any more if it's at stake in your safety, I do think it should have been Prince Godwin's doing, I didn't want to say it before, I just didn't want to ruin the relationship between your brothers."

But I think even so, it's better not to confront him, he's now regent, and he's recognized by other countries, and if you confront him, it might lead to unknown risks. ”

Arthas couldn't bear it when he heard it, "No, I have to ask him clearly, not only for me, but also for my father, there is something I have always hidden in my heart, my father once wanted to pass on the throne to me, maybe it is because of this that the eldest brother killed his father, I want to go to the eldest brother - Godwin to ask for clarification." ”

Varian hurriedly persuaded, "Third brother, don't be impulsive, now Godwin is already the regent, unless you have proof, otherwise—"

"I don't need evidence, I just want to know what the truth is." After saying that, Arthas rode invincible and galloped away.

Watching Arthas leave, both Murphy and Varian had a somewhat complicated expression.

"Second brother, you have grown up." Murphy said, such a flicker, Varian did not show the slightest abnormality, it can be seen that his city is no longer the boy he used to be.

Varian sighed, and finally a trace of guilt appeared on his face, "You'll take care of the third brother, right?" ”

"I will, you have to take care of yourself, Northrend is very dangerous, if the expedition can't go ahead, you must prioritize your own safety, as long as you live, there is hope.

Big Brother doesn't have anything to give you, so I'll give you ten Dragon Surveyors, they are air units that can quickly scout, which is very helpful for your expedition. ”

"Thank you, big brother." Varian said heartily.

Murphy smiled, "What else is there to be polite between our brothers, okay, I wish you a good trip, I have to go and watch Arthas, don't let him do anything stupid."

After speaking, he suddenly lowered his voice again, and whispered in Varian's ear, Be careful of those princes and princesses of Lordaeron, especially when you find Frost Sorrow, they do not hesitate to attack their brothers for the throne, for the sake of the artifact, guess what they can do? ”

With that, Murphy patted Varian on the shoulder, summoned the Frostwolf Mount, and sped towards Lordaeron's Palace.
