The road from King's Harbour to Stormwind is not far away, but it is not close, and it is already midafternoon when I walk in the morning and see the walls of Stormwind.

There are a few small villages outside the city, and the small farmstead is very chic. This idyllic scenery is not easy to see in the north.

Looking at the direction of the sun, this road is west of the gate of Stormwind, which is not the same path I took last time I came to Stormwind.

The guard of honor went ahead, and we drove into the city.

To be honest, I don't have any impression of this city, first, because it took too long, and second, I was kicked out of the city after staying for a day last time. But the old streets and stone-walled buildings of the city are familiar to me.

The pedestrians on the road stopped to watch, pointed and discussed. It made my face feel a little hot. I turned my head to look at Ralph behind me, the guy didn't care about the skinless face, and in his confused confident expression, he seemed to feel good right now.

We were placed in the garrison's barracks, which was indeed a barracks, but the three captains were displeased with the high walls and fences on all sides. Claiming that this is a prison at all, they are locked up.

I didn't want to pay attention to the three of them, so I asked Ralph to come in and appease them, and I needed to go to the king as soon as I had finished handing over the soldiers' food and drink. But the attendants from the palace could not help frowning when they saw my appearance.

It's obviously not time to go out and customize clothes now, but it's really inappropriate to go to the king like this. Looking at me in the mirror, I not only looked like a seriously injured patient, but also like a person named Hanako.

"Let's take me to choose my clothes first." I said to the servants.

Choosing clothes is something you can't rush, but I don't have time to do it right now. So after the tailor's modification, I changed into a dress that was more appropriate in their eyes.

And in my eyes, this dress is really ugly.

But no matter how I dressed, the bandages on my body, especially on my face, could not be removed, and as a sign of respect, the tailor specially replaced me with a new set of white bandages.

The last time I was here was to wait for Edwin, and it's so emotional to walk down this path again.

After entering the King's Fortress, you have to go through a very, very long passage, and endure the pain in your legs, step by step, step by step. I really don't understand what the people who built this passage thought back then.

Walk through a long passage, at the end of which is a large rotunda, which is directly opposite a throne. There was a man sitting on the throne, and several people were standing under the throne.

They heard our footsteps and stared at me as I walked up. The man on the throne stood up.

I'm still quite nervous about this posture.

I could feel their gazes, the skeptical, the surprised, even the disdainful gazes. Although I can't guess the identity of this group of people, they must be the core people around the king.

The people under the throne flashed to the sides, and I stood down about ten steps from the throne and got down on one knee. "Colonel Bill Max, Colonel of the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Alterac, on the orders of His Majesty King Auden Pirenod, has come to meet His Majesty the King of the Stormwind Kingdom, and has led three hundred and seventy infantry, three hundred and forty marines, a total of seven hundred and ten men, to support the fight against the orcs."

My mind was racing at this point. But only for the moment, my mind is still blank to say anything else, and I can't think of anything.

"Stand up! Captain! The king spoke.

His voice was loud, I don't know if it was an illusion or just like that. I looked at his face, his brown slightly curly hair tucked behind his ears, he was not handsome, but he had the majesty of a king.

"What's wrong with your face?" He stared at my face.

"Met the Kraken, Your Majesty." I answered truthfully. Then he untied his saber from his waist and raised it. "It's their weapon."

When the king took the weapon, he had a look of obvious surprise on his face, drew his weapon and looked at it and handed it to a middle-aged man with blond hair next to him.

"You've been wounded enough, Colonel! You were in Ironstone the other day, and I know about it. Hopefully, the fish-people on Long Beach haven't bothered you too much. He said.

"If it weren't for this weapon, I'd be there by now." I say.

"Huh?"

"It's the Naga of the Siren, and the fishmen seem to have a natural ...... for the weapons used by the Sirens Fear. "I want to do my best to show this weapon.

"You brought more than 700 people?"

"No, Your Majesty, I'm sorry! Now there are less than four hundred left. I tried my best to show regret, regret and tone.

Everyone was silent.

I didn't know if to explain it for a while, and the explanation seemed to be ...... Well, but it doesn't seem to work even more without explaining. "A few days after our fleet sailed out of the port of Bolaras in Kurtiras, we were met with a great storm, and the storm for two days did not affect us much, but ...... One night, we met a kraken. I said.

"There are too many of them! Several of our ships were captured by the Kraken, and then ...... Knocked over by the waves in the storm. Sinking into the sea. After that, we lost our direction and drifted to the west unconsciously, thinking that we had arrived...... Outcome...... At night, I met a fishman. ”

I was beating a drum in my heart when I said this, it was a bit too bumpy...... It's just bad luck to get home. Can he believe it?

"I'm sorry......" the king pursed his lips and nodded. I will pray for the soldiers who came to participate in the support and sacrificed their lives on the way, and a monument will be erected for them! Thank you also King Pirenod for his kindness, friendliness and open-mindedness! ”

He looked at me and continued: "More than a month ago, I sent a request for support to the northern countries, and only you came! I won't forget the kindness of Alterac! Stormwind Kingdom won't forget either! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this situation is extremely special, and I also persuade my king to send troops to help Your Majesty." I hurriedly said.

"It's really special." He looked at me and said, "But...... Are you the only ones who sent troops? He asked suddenly. You...... Is there any news from other countries? ”

"No...... Your Majesty. I took the soldiers of my own country, and then in Kurtiras, I recruited some sailors from Kurtiras. I said.

"You recruit sailors?"

A prophet once said to me that this war ......" and I suddenly wondered if I would talk too much.

"This war...... It was the beginning of a great catastrophe. "I'm trying to find the right words." This war...... Completely different from ...... The dangers faced by Stormwind decades ago...... "I looked into his eyes, and there was a torch in his eyes.

"I ......"

"What do you mean?" The king's eyes became stern.

"I've seen the future......" I gritted my teeth and swallowed it back.

"I once met a prophet, an archmage of Dalaran." I started making it up.

"I had met her in Alterac a few years earlier, and I had met her again at the birth of Arthas, the son of Tyrenus Minashir, in Lordaeron, and then again at the celebration of the birth of Gianna, the daughter of Commander Daylin Prodmore. She showed it to me! ”

"What have you shown?"

"A catastrophe!" I didn't dare to use other words, not because I was afraid that he would be afraid, but because I couldn't tell what he would think. Let's talk a little bit about it.

"Why? You say the mage of Dalaran? Prophet? Who is she? ”

"A woman...... The Prophet: "I'm lying almost all of my time now.

"What's her name?"

"Agra! The dwarves call it Agra! ”

"Dwarves?"

"Yes, dwarves! She was always accompanied by dwarves. "I make up nonsense, and they don't know." It seems to be her servant. ”

"Later, I met a man in Lordaeron, who claimed to be a ...... Farrell Nerta's Count of the Storm. "I kept my eyes on the king's face." The man...... He traveled through the northern countries. ”

"And then?" His tone became serious, not ...... Very angry.

"He can do magic!" I say.

Before the words could be finished, the people in the hall let out a cry of surprise.

"This man is famous, and he has a good tongue. And then...... I don't know if King Terenus has ever written back to His Majesty. But that person ...... Completely downplayed the affairs of the Stormwind Kingdom. ”

"Why did your king send you?"

"I believe what I saw, and I feel strange about that count...... Very...... In particular, I went to investigate him, but accidentally fell for his tricks, and I had a serious conflict with him. However, I was no match for him, and then the king was angry. I said.

"Then there's no reason to send you."

"I have saved the life of the prince, many times......" I said. And I'm ...... Archbishop's friend! King...... Didn't punish me. ”

The king's eyes became complicated, he looked at his ministers, and sat back in his seat.

"Archbishop? Are you a good friend of the archbishop? A middle-aged man in a church robe asked.

"Yes, Archbishop Alonsos Fao is a good friend of mine."

"Ha, his blue eyes are always full of wisdom."

"No, his eyes are black! Of course, it is indeed full of wisdom! ”

"He's said to have mastered the art of Light?"

"Not only him, but also his students, and now the teacher of King Terenus's son, Uther, can also use it!" I say.

"I still have a good relationship with Uther. If there is a connection between your churches, the archbishop and Uther are familiar to me. I smiled at him.

Speaking of which, I'm not afraid anymore, and now I basically know how to answer. And I'm not afraid of this guy investigating me. If he really had been able to get in touch with Fao, I could have imagined how Fao would have asked him to take care of me.

"Does the Colonel believe in the Light?" He asked.

"Of course, of course I believe in the Light." I say it very seriously.

"Have you received any revelations?"

"No...... Although the archbishop guided me twice, I was only a martial artist. There is no wisdom of those two sages yet! I said.

"That's it!" The king interrupted our conversation. "There are some things that we can talk about slowly! The Colonel has worked hard, you should rest for a while, and tonight I will set up a good banquet for you. ”

I was taken to a room in the castle with a large garden outside the room. Standing by the window I looked out into the garden, which was beautifully decorated, completely different from the décor of Lordaeron. And there's a small playground just around the corner.

Suddenly, I remembered someone.

Walking slowly in the garden, you can enjoy the scenery around you and recall what you just said. I'm a little worried about whether I just said too much!

This habit of quick success...... Maybe it's really a little too rushed! The more you talk...... The bigger the problem! I don't know what this group of people will talk about me after that......

Never mind! I'm a reinforcement after all! As long as the big problems don't make mistakes...... Well, you have to pay attention to minor problems. Thinking of this, I touched the bandage on my face.

"Mom! I heard that a knight came from the far north, and he led many knights to help us! A boy's voice came to my ears.

"Yes." A very gentle voice.

"North! What does the north look like? Is that what we're doing here? He asked curiously. I want to go to the north to see! I'm going to be a traveler! He said excitedly. I'm going to explore everywhere and conquer the mountains! And those monsters! I just heard that they killed the Kraken in the sea and brought back their weapons! ”

"I want it too!" His voice is lovely.

"When you're older, you'll have your own weapons. But the first thing you have to do now is to learn from the archbishop. The woman said.

"But I don't want to study! I want to ride a horse! I want to fight like my father! Be a big hero like your uncle! He yelled excitedly! I'm going to kill all the orcs! Save my people! ”

"You'll be a good king! Varian...... My son. ”
