Lothar had a high fever.

All the pill bottles on my body have long since been lost, and I haven't prepared them for a long time. Khadgar could only stare dryly, he was not good at healing people, and Sandel collected some herbs on the side of the road, saying that it would reduce the fever, but even eating and wiping it had no effect.

Along the way, we were less and less afraid to march in the daytime, and the orc troops, large and small, shuttled along the King's Road. I can't imagine that in just a few days our army was defeated, and so completely. Looking at this posture, it is estimated that it was repulsed from Chiji Mountain, and then defeated all the way.

Now that I'm defeated, I'm trying not to think about it, but this sense of powerlessness makes me anxious. What's more, Lothar is still burning.

When I arrived near the town of Shining Gold, I first went to the vicinity of the town to investigate, but there was no one in the town. The vanguard of the orcs is indeed not far from here, but this retreat is too fast.

As I wandered around the town, I was about to leave when I heard a soft whistle. I turned my head to search around, and I saw my half-pulled head peeking out of the window on the third floor next to me.

"What are you doing here?" When I went upstairs, I found a man in rags. He couldn't see clearly when it was dark, but his eyes were really bright.

"What are you doing here?"

"Who are you?" I didn't answer him.

"I'm a beggar." He said.

"What about the people here?"

"It's all gone." He said.

"The army of Red Ridge Mountain?"

"Defeated." He said. "We've retreated to Stormwind now."

"When?"

"Two days ago."

"Why don't you go?"

"The king is dead, and the kingdom of Stormwind is finished. What is there to escape, but to live ...... more"

"What did you say!" I lunged over and grabbed him by the hair.

The man screamed. His cries were so piercing in the silence of the town. I quickly covered his mouth and didn't let him scream. He resisted with his head in a nutshell, and I slapped him in the face.

He fell to the ground with a thud.

"Say it again." I dragged him up again.

He scoffed, "You're in a hurry, what are you in a hurry." Idiot! ”

"What do you say is wrong with the king!"

"Dead! He's dead. ”

"You fart!"

"Did I fart? I fart! Ha ...... "This guy is starting to go crazy.

Seeing that this guy seemed to have something wrong with his brain, I spread my hands and threw him on the ground, although I also comforted myself that the madman couldn't believe what he said, that he was talking nonsense! But at this juncture, it sounds like it's true.

By the time he found Lothar, he was already burning and a little dazed. "Hurry up, something big may happen." I say.

"What's wrong?" Reggie smacked up.

"Chances are the king......" I shook my head slightly. I sighed and glanced at Khadgar, the guy looking sad too.

The horse can't stand it anymore. But even if the horse dies in the end, it will have to take us back to Stormwind.

When we showed up at the Storm Gate, everyone couldn't believe it was true, and of course it was all for Lothar.

"Lord Lothar is back! Lord Lothar is not dead! The defenders of the city gate cheered. But at this time, Lothar was already a little unable to stand up.

I patted him on the face, then turned to Reggie and said, "Get a carriage!" He can't be seen like that. ”

I sat in the carriage, and Lothar in my arms was already in a semi-comatose state. People looking out the window could clearly feel their extreme pessimism and depression. I never asked the king about it, but the performance of everyone told me the truth.

I didn't send Lothar back to his house, but sent him directly to the King's Castle, but when I arrived at the King's Castle, I didn't feel much sadness, and it was a tense atmosphere.

It dawned on me if it wouldn't be a good idea, but he had already been carried inside. When the queen heard that Lothar had returned, she hurried out, and wept when she saw Lothar's festering and inflamed arm.

The prince stood beside the queen with a solemn face but not a tear on his face, and he wanted to comfort the queen, but it was of little use.

The doctor gave him Lothar to clean the wound and then rubbed the medicine again. I leaned against the doorway and looked at the queen, who was a bit of a six-godless queen. Then Duke Gregleskova came with a retinue, and behind him was the fat man Richville and a group of fellows I didn't know.

I could sense that the people were not good when they walked, and I held out my hand when they came to the door.

"You're bold!" A guy I didn't know flashed out of the side and yelled at me.

"Idlers are not allowed to enter the treatment room."

"Who do you say is an idler, are you blind?"

I glanced at the man, "If it were you inside, I wouldn't let anyone who wasn't a doctor in." One is politeness, the other is hygiene, don't you understand? I said.

"Get out of the way, soldier." Richville reached out and pushed my hand away, and slammed in.

I tried my best to block him back. "You are presumptuous! He shouted. Come on, tie this soldier up for me! ”

In fact, at this moment, I was ready to kill this group of people.

"Stop!" The queen pushed the door open with a cold face and walked out. "Stand down!" She yelled at me.

I glanced at the people next to me and stepped back. Suddenly I remembered the book we had retrieved. That book would have kept him alive in that dark cavern for more than two years, and it would have survived Lothar.

The group eventually went in, and judging by the flashes on their faces as they walked out of the room, it seemed that the birdmen had some bad idea.

I hurried back to the queen and said, "What about the holy relic that Lothar brought back when she returned to Stormwind?" It could save his life! ”

The queen herself went to fetch the book, and I placed his festering arm on it, and the moment I put it down, the soft light was released.

The crowd was shocked.

"Reggie, take a good look at him. Your Majesty, you'd better strengthen the garrison of the palace, those guys don't look like good people. I said.

However, news came that night, and everyone in the city knew that Lothar had returned, but was seriously injured, and it was estimated that he would not be able to do so.

It is conceivable who spread this news, but it is obvious that there is something to do when this news is released at this time.

I feel that the current queen is a little unable to control the government, and the matter of city defense is now completely taken over by Leorik and others. The gates of the King's Castle were closed, and it was a complicated and terrible feeling now. The orcs are clearly about to fight outside the city, and we are worried about a coup d'état in the city!

I squatted at the head of the castle and looked at the huge Stormwind City, and all kinds of pictures kept flashing in my mind, could it be that Stormwind City really couldn't be saved?

At this time, I saw a group of people rushing towards the castle from a distance, and seeing that there were not many people, that is, about a dozen people, I looked through my binoculars, and it turned out that Leorik had brought people, and Grayson was also in the team.

I hurried downstairs to meet a few of them at the ramparts, but the men were obviously faster, and they had already come in by the time I rushed downstairs. Why don't these damn guards stop it!

I ran inside, but when I pushed the door open, Lothar was sitting in a chair talking to Leorik and the others.

He just nodded at me when he saw me rushing in. I was suddenly in a trance...... It's good so soon? Really good?

As I stood aside and listened to a few people discussing the military situation, I smiled and glanced at Reggie, who smiled at me. Either way, Lothar is still alive is the best news.

After Leorik and the others finished speaking, they turned around and were about to leave, when they saw me standing by the door and nodded at me and walked out of the room.

I hurried over to Lothar, and the guy had a tired but reassuring smile on his face. I squeezed his hand tightly at me, "You're scared me to death." ”

"Hmph...... It's good to have you here. ”

"What were they doing just now?"

"Come and see me." Lothar said.

"When did you wake up?" I asked.

"Early in the morning." He looked at Reggie, "Reggie, we're going to patrol the city, you go and prepare." ”

I nodded, "The king is dead." ”

"I see." Lothar pursed her lips and sighed softly, "You're right. ”

"One more thing...... I have to warn you. I said, looking at the people around me. Stormwind may not be able to hold it this time. ”

Lothar looked at me solemnly, "What do you suggest?" ”

I rode behind Lothar to accompany him through the streets, and the excitement of seeing him was palpable. People shouted excitedly, and many women shed tears of excitement.

Lothar greeted the crowd and shouted slogans as he cheered them on.

The street patrol lasted from morning to mid-afternoon, when the main street was turned aside, and now it is estimated that the whole city is safer. Sandel came to report that Vortagen's ships were already in port, and that they were searching the surrounding area and west for all ships.

We didn't have time to eat, and we came to the gates of Stormwind again, and the blood stains could still be seen in front of the gate not long after the battle. I looked into the distance, wishing that something happened to the orcs.

The city was busy again, with women and children preparing supplies for a few days, while men kept preparing supplies for the city. The trebuchets of the captured orcs are also ready. Morale is much stronger now than it was yesterday, and if we do retreat, we should be able to buy people a day or so.

After cheering up the city defense troops, we returned to the castle. We did not publicize the news of the preparations for the evacuation, nor did we inform any of the nobles. If this group of guys knew it, they would have used the fastest time to capture the largest number of ships, and then prepare to escape in advance.

Of course, it would be better if there was a miracle, but if it didn't, it always didn't hurt to leave a way back.

I was at the cathedral again, and the crowd praying for the soldiers and civilians of Stormwind took over the entire square. I leaned against a big tree on the side of the street and watched the people who still didn't want to leave, even though it was dusk, and I was stunned.

They all want to live, they don't want to die.

But they ...... Will you really fall prey?

No...... They shouldn't have fallen victim!

Although the trouble may be great, they are all living lives! Looking at the candle flame blowing in the wind and swaying as if it was about to be blown out, I felt that they did not deserve to die, and I had to save them.
