My Frostmourne can't be so cute

The Kirin Tor Council quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and decided to send Sine to Alterac Castle to ask about the mages. However, Sine was attacked by unknown armed forces before reaching Alterac Castle. When resisting, he happened to be rescued by Uther.

Uther listened to the words of Master Sein and pointed to the guards around the carriage with fear on their faces and said, "These people are with Master Sein?" Saiin nodded and said, "Well, they It's my servant in Dalaran." The wizards are always arrogant, weak, and spend most of their time studying magic, so there are always many servants around to take care of their daily lives.

When Uther heard this, he bowed deeply to Master Saiin on horseback.Wrynn was a little strange after seeing it, so he approached Arthas and asked.Arthas was quietly communicating with Frostmourne in his heart. Since seeing the mage in Dalaran, Xiaoshuang's mood has become very bad, and he kept pulling Alsace's hair behind him to vent his breath.

When Arthas asked why Frostmourne was angry, he only got the answer "Because I hate the woman Jaina, so I hate all mages", leaving him speechless.At this time Wrynn asked him why Uther saluted, and Arthas explained: "For a mage, he can quickly escape the battlefield by means of flash art. The reason why Saiin mage chose to stay is because I don't want my servants to be killed by the attackers, Master Uther admires him for this."

Wrynn nodded suddenly again, and began to flatter Alsace's knowledge.Arthas was very helpless to this Shutouqing friend and ignored him. Instead, he jumped off his horse and walked towards the group of prisoners who were kneeling on the side.Seeing Arthas coming, several of the royal guards of Lordaeron hurriedly held down the prisoners, lest some of them jumped over the wall and hurt His Royal Highness.

It is not difficult or simple to force a confession. The main reason is how strong the target is.But for Arthas, this kind of thing was a piece of cake. After giving an order to Frostmourne, a captive's soul was already controlled by Frostmourne. Amidst the shocked eyes of several royal guards, tears I confessed everything I knew crazily.

Arthas took the confession from the guard who was recording on the side, sorted it out, and then handed it to Uther.Uther did not notice the origin of the confession, subconsciously thought it was the torture of the royal guards, took it and looked at it, his expression became serious, and said: "It seems that Aiden has indeed betrayed the Alliance."

In that confession, the captive described in detail how Aiden, the owner of Alterac Castle, secretly cultivated a killer organization called "Syndicate" to consolidate his rule and rely on these killers. Cruelly killed the fifteen wizards sent by Dalaran to Alterac Castle, and sent their bodies to the orc leader Orgrim Doomhammer in the southern half of the Eastern Kingdom to obtain his Trust, and promised to the invading tribe that Alterac Valley would be opened so that the tribe’s orc army could penetrate directly under the cities of Dalaran and Lordaeron.

Uther told the sad news to Mage Sein. Mage Sein looked very angry and wanted to rush to Alterac Castle immediately and kill Aiden, the guy who betrayed all mankind.But obviously there are more important things waiting for him. Uther asked Sain to return to Dalaran immediately and inform the Kirin Tor Council of this matter.After Sain left, Uther sent a small team of knights back to Lordaeron to pass back the news of Alterac Kingdom's betrayal.

After finishing a series of arrangements, Uther looked at Arthas and asked, "His Royal Highness, Prince Arthas, what do you think we should do now?" The tone was slightly elegant.Ignoring Frostmourne floating in the air and winking at himself, Arthas replied respectfully: "Although a small number of enemies escaped in the previous battle, their speed is not as fast as the cavalry. If you now carry Lordaeron. Before the Royal Guard arrived at Alterac Castle, Aiden didn’t know that we knew his betrayal, so he would open the door and pretend to greet us. We could seize the opportunity to catch him and control all the nobles who participated in the conspiracy. Take control of Alterac Castle and recapture the Broken Hill Fortress before the orcs arrive."

Hearing Alsace’s strategy, Uther nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Leave a small team to inform the large group to move on, and the rest will mount, and the target is Alterac Castle!" After speaking, he turned on his horse and prepared. set off.

The two royal guards on one side helped Arthas mount the horse, and then asked Uther, "Master Uther, how do you deal with these captives?" Uther glanced at the traitors who were kneeling on the ground shivering in disgust. , Some people hadn't taken off their masked silk scarves, and said coldly: "Betrayed the Alliance and killed their fellow human beings. The mistakes they made cannot be forgiven. Let's execute them all!"

The royal guards who received the order quickly drew their weapons, inserted the captives’ necks, inserted the bloody blades back into the scabbards, and turned on their horses. The cavalry of the brigade galloped towards Alterac Castle. The dust that covered the sky and the sun and hundreds of corpses were left behind.

Chapter 13: Poor Aiden Pernold

As the brigade cavalry galloped for a long time, Arthas felt that his thighs had lost consciousness despite the thick soft silk cloth on the saddle.However, he who is proficient in riding still feels lucky, because the numbness of the thigh is always stronger than the fiery pain after the soft flesh between the thighs is worn.

The journey from the idyllic Hillsbrad Hills to the South Alterac Mountains is truly a world of difference.The sun was blocked by the clouds that obscured the sky all the year round. It seemed that there was a rain not long ago, and the originally flat avenue became wet and muddy from here.The knights on the horse concentrated their minds so as not to slide down the horse and fall into a muddy mud. Although they are not nobles, the royal guards of Lordaeron pay more attention to appearance than most nobles, because they are also guest appearances in the royal guard of honor. character of.

Suddenly, Wrynn yelled: "Look! It's here!" Arthas leaned lightly in Frostmourne's arms behind him, and looked forward--a huge pine forest stood on the hillside, and the peaks were long. Full of grass and shrubs, a dangerous fortress stood on a large hill. The march of the large group seemed to alarm the soldiers on the city wall. There was a small noise from far away, and the light of torches swayed on the city.

More than five hundred cavalry soon came under the fort. Uther took the horse, raised his right hand, and made a fist in the air. He saw the royal guards stop well-trained, and the sound of armor collisions gathered together to create An atmosphere of gold and iron horse.Alsace’s horse did not stop, because Frostmourne didn’t understand the meaning of the gesture made by the gray-bearded old man. He stopped the horse hurriedly until he found out that he had left the brigade, and rubbed his chin with a bit embarrassed. Rubbing Arthas's head, Wrynn on one side thought it was Arthas himself who hadn't controlled the mount, and laughed very dignifiedly.

Uther did not care about this little episode, but shouted to the city head: "I am the disciple of Archbishop Alonthos, Uther. Your Majesty Terenas is worried about the guards of Alterac Valley. I didn’t have enough strength. I specifically asked me to bring five hundred people to support. Who is the chief on the wall? Please open the gate to let us in and inform King Aiden Pernault."

Soon, a round head with a crown protruded from the city. Arthas squinted his eyes and looked at it. It was King Aiden of Alterac Kingdom.In the original timeline, the fat man betrayed the alliance and provided the orcs with a way to attack Lordaeron and Dalaran. However, after the orcs were repelled, the fat man was arrested and tried him. , Alsace had seen him once.

Aiden’s erratic voice came from the castle: "Who is underneath?" Uther explained politely again, but Aiden retracted his head after listening, and there was no response from the city for a long time, but Uther, however, keenly heard the sound of the crossbowmen's collective winding, and his pupils shrank-did Aiden plan to do it now?

Uther shook his head, thinking that if Aiden was really as cowardly as King Terenas said-and it was true, he would definitely not openly betray the Alliance before the orcs arrived.And just yesterday, a messenger sent by Stromgarde brought a letter from King Thoras Trollbane of the Kingdom of Stormgard. The Salado Bridge is still in the hands of humans, and the dwarf city Dan on the other side of the bridge Maude was never lost.

Uther, who determined that Aiden was just a little suspicious and afraid to really do anything, sternly shouted at the city wall: "King Aiden! My soldiers and I rode here for a few hours to help. You defend the city. But now you are actually shutting your exhausted reinforcements outside the city. Is this how Alterac Castle treats guests?"

Perhaps it was the phrase "exhausted" in Uther's words that made Aiden feel relieved. Soon the suspension bridge over the city was put down, the city gate opened, and the fat Aiden rode a thin old horse with him. A group of crossbowmen stood at the gate of the city, welcoming Uther's army into the city.The royal guards had serious expressions and lined up to march towards the city. However, there was enough space between the two knights to prevent the soldiers from Alterac Castle from jumping over the wall and attacking Lordaeron. The army launched an attack.

Uther did not enter the city, but stopped on horseback in front of Aiden. Arthas and Wrynn followed closely. Arthas was a little curious, not knowing what Uther would do next.Facing the tall and mighty Uther, he looked down at his fat and bloated body and thin horses. A strong feeling of inferiority permeated Aiden's heart. The soldiers around him also looked at Uther in admiration— -Even without any training, they can become the generals of any kingdom just by relying on this body.

Staring at Aiden for a while, Uther's hand on the hilt of the big sword beside the saddle tightened, and suddenly he drew out the big sword like lightning and placed it on Aiden's neck.Ai Deng jumped off and rolled straight down the horse, but he couldn't avoid the sharp blade. He even felt a few strands of his hair floating on the blade, breaking into two instantly.

The soldiers of Alterac Castle did not know how to deal with this kind of scene. Some people hurriedly aimed their crossbows at Uther, but did not dare to make any movements; more people dropped their weapons on the ground. Holding their heads and squatting down; some people turned around to escape, but were surrounded by Lordaeron's royal guards.In a short while, Uther's army took control of the city.

Aiden was trembling with fright, and worried that the sword might hit him, so his neck stiffened and he dared not move.Wrynn couldn't help laughing when he saw this fat man's funny look.Aiden tremblingly said, "You...what are you doing?" Uther asked, "Where is the Master Dalaran that you killed?"

When Aiden heard these words, he felt like a frustrated ball. He paused on the ground and murmured: "Impossible, how did you know?" Uther saw that he lost the sense of resistance and took back the big game. Jian said, "On our way, we wiped out a gangster named'Syndicate'." After hearing Wrynn's explanation, Aiden sighed and stopped talking.

Uther glanced at this odious traitor in disgust, and preached: "The Royal Guard enters the city and takes over all defenses of the castle. All armed personnel in Alterac Castle must be disarmed and detained collectively. If anyone resists , Kill it on the spot." Then he asked Aiden: "Are there back doors and paths in the castle to leave?"

Aiden shook his head and said nothing.Uther knew that he didn't need to lie now, and waved his hand, the royal guards quickly divided into small groups, like galloping away in the castle, and after a while, there was shouting and killing in the castle, and there was fire. rising.The thirty or so royal guards who stayed in place to protect the prince drew their weapons nervously-if the castle had only this one exit, then some recalcitrants might attack here.

Chapter 14 Pursuing Victory, Broken Ridge Fortress

The stern formation waited for a while, and no enemy rushed over. The shouting and killing in the castle gradually weakened, and soon became inaudible, and several fire spots gradually disappeared. The billowing smoke gradually disappeared. I don't know if it was extinguished or the surrounding houses were burned. It's clean.Soon, several knights returned to Uther to report the results.

From the information returned by his subordinates, Uther learned that the number of residents in the castle is very small, less than 1,500, and the number of soldiers is even less, only more than 120. Now they are all Disarmed.The only minor trouble is that there are more than a hundred people in the castle, dressed in the same "syndicate" arms as the group of people who besieged the Mage Saiin. The royal guards fought fiercely with them, and now they have wiped out these bandits.

Arthas interrupted on one side: "Where are our people? How about the casualties?" A guard quickly replied, "Under the protection of King Terenas, only two were slightly injured." Arthas nodded. , The Frostmourne behind him smirked and said: "It's really funny, what does this have to do with your father's shelter!"

Arthas ignored her, but said to Uther, "How come there are so few soldiers here?" Uther also felt something was wrong, and asked Aiden, "Where are the soldiers in Alterac Castle? ?" Uther doubted whether the missing soldiers were killed by this frenzied traitor.

But Aiden's answer made Uther breathe a sigh of relief: "I...I transferred three hundred people to guard the fortress of Broken Hill." Uther asked with some doubts: "Did you not surrender the orcs? Why? Will also strengthen the guards of Broken Ridge?" Aiden explained: "This matter...I dare not let others know, and I am not sure that the soldiers will stand on my side, so I sent them all to Broken Ridge. went."

Uther only understood this, but he also despised the traitor even more-he was usually timid as a mouse, and he worked so hard to calculate things like betraying his compatriots.Arthas cared more about military affairs. He asked aloud: "How many people are there in Broken Hill Fortress? Who is the leader?"

Aiden raised his head and glanced at the little boy riding on a horse. He didn't know who he was, but he didn't care too much. He honestly explained: "There are about a thousand soldiers in Broken Ridge now, and my son is leading them. , Elliton." Wrynn was holding his finger to the fortune, feeling a little unbelievable—oh my god, there are only 1,500 soldiers in total, a king of less than 10,000 people?Even if Stormwind was destroyed, there would still be tens of thousands of troops following Teacher Lothar and the Archbishop to the north.

Uther frowned and asked: "Your son, is he involved in the betrayal of the Alliance?" Aiden shook his head and said, "It is because he is very opposed to this matter, so I He was sent to the fortress of Broken Ridge." Wrynn said on the side: "It seems that Eliton is a good person?"

Arthas was struggling with Frostmourne, because Arthas often ignored her, and Frostmourne was a little angry. At this time, he was secretly tearing Alsace's cheek with his hand, making Arthas's expression look particularly distorted, like Is making faces.While communicating with Frostmourne on the soul level, Arthas promised to make up for her in private, while analyzing to Wrynn: "It's not necessarily. According to Aiden, his son knows his entire plan, and He still holds most of Alterac Castle's weapons in his hand, but he has neither stopped his father's actions nor reported to other alliance kingdoms. I think his intentions are also suspicious."

Uther nodded, acknowledging that Alsace's words were reasonable, and said: "Prince Arthas is not wrong. We can't take this part of the weapon lightly, but our current strength is too weak and may not be able to capture the Broken Ridge Fortress. If you wait for the follow-ups to come, maybe Elliton will understand what happened here, but I don’t know what will happen at that time. Prince Arthas, do you have any suggestions?"

This time Uther was not in Alsace. Although the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand was brave and good at fighting, he used five hundred cavalry to attack the broken ridge where a thousand soldiers were stationed between the canyons. The fortress, Uther is really not sure.Arthas thought for a while and said, "Maybe we can use Aiden?"

Seeing that the young prince had a countermeasure, Uther asked quickly, "How to use it?" Alsace straightened out his thoughts and said his own way.Uther considered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, just do it!" Then he ordered the guards on one side: "Gather the royal guards, gather a hundred people, and put on the clothes of those masked men. , Go with me to the fortress of Broken Ridge. The others stay, look after the captives, and protect the safety of Prince Alsace. After sending a team to notify the team that is coming to speed up, and then tell the matter here back to Luo Dan Lun goes."

Several guards received the order, and as soon as they were about to leave, Arthas called out: "You look for the griffin and Lordaeron's messenger in the castle. If you find it, ask him to ride the griffin. Go back and deliver the letter, it will be faster." The guards got the order and left quickly.After a while, with a clear neigh, a huge monster with a lion's body and wings flew from the city wall and flew northwest.

Arthas looked up at the shadow of the Griffon disappearing into the sky, mocking Aiden and said, "Let me guess, although I don't know what the messenger found and asked you to arrest him. But you didn't kill him. He, it seems that he wants to take this griffin as his own?" He shook his head-although it takes a lot of money to raise griffins and cultivating flying messengers, they can't even raise a single griffin. Such people call themselves kings?It's so shabby.

Soon, Uther gathered a group of subordinates dressed as masked bandits and pressed Aiden towards the Broken Ridge Fortress.For fear of being seen by others, Uther ordered his men not only to change into the "Syndicate" weapons, but also to keep the horses in Alterac Castle-as can be seen from Aiden's mount, he is barren It is impossible for the territory to make up more than a hundred excellent horses.

Alsace originally wanted to go with Uther, but this time the mission was too dangerous, Uther did not dare to let him go with him, and Alsace was too small to be exposed in the crowd. So Uther only took Wrynn, who was eager to try, and left Arthas in Alterac Castle.Seeing Wrynn riding a horse triumphantly, Arthas felt a little jealous of this stupid friend for the first time.However, he quickly let go of the entanglement in his heart, and turned to look for the magical teleportation array established by the wizards of Dalaran after they came to Alterac Castle, which was what Master Saiin said. Work again and you can contact Dalaran.

Chapter 15 The Portal to Dalaran

Walking on the empty street in Alterac Castle, Alsace looked at the houses on the side of the road. Most of the doors of the houses were tightly closed. Occasionally, some residents would open a gap in the window and quietly observe the house. Alsace surrounded by guards.Arthas asked, "How far is it from that teleportation formation?"

A guard beside Arthas looked at the surrounding alleys and roofs vigilantly, and then replied: "His Royal Highness, the teleportation array is in the center of the fortress, in the basement of the main building, the front has arrived." Arthas listened to the guard. If I walked a few steps quickly, I found a small wooden two-story building with a very ordinary exterior design, and obvious signs of damage can be seen on the roof.

Arthas once again sighed the poorness of King Aiden, and then rushed into the main building of the fort.The internal design of the main building is also very ordinary, the same as the architectural habits of most northerners.After entering the door is a partition wall with passages on both sides.Arthas crossed the hallway, and under the stairs was the small door in the basement.

The door to the basement has been opened, and oil lamps have been lit inside.Arthas walked in and found that several guards were facing a magic circle half of the floor in a daze.Seeing Arthas coming, the guards hurriedly saluted.Arthas waved his hand and said, "You wait at the door for a while, I want to study this magic circle alone."

Hearing Alsace's order, the royal guards were a little strange—have never heard that His Royal Highness learned magic?However, they accepted the order and carefully inspected the corners of the basement and the beams supporting the ceiling. After making sure that no one was hiding, the guards exited the basement, guarded the door, and carefully closed the door for Arthas.

Frostmourne waited for a cheer when there was no one. From then on, the bread stopped Arthas, lifted him in the air and turned around, and then wanted to kiss his cheek.Alsace was a little helpless, resisting desperately, and said: "Xiaoshuang, let me down quickly, I still have business here!"

Frostmourne was a little unhappy, but he obediently put Arthas down, and then squatted on the ground, squatting his mouth aggrievedly.Arthas looked at the magic circle on the ground. Although the lines of the magic pattern were still there, there were several damages.However, there are not many lines of destruction. It seems Aiden does not intend to completely abolish this magic circle, but hopes that one day he can repair it and serve his territory.

Arthas shook his head, feeling sad for the fat man who proclaimed himself a king-even though he was a king, he couldn't even raise a griffon in his territory. If he wanted to make a magic circle, there was no wizard willing to work for him.Arthas greeted Frostmourne and said, "Xiaoshuang, let's see if you can fix this magic circle."

Frostmourne stood up reluctantly, walked to the side of the magic circle, took a look, and said proudly: "Of course it can! When we were together, I didn't know how many wizards were killed! Swallow! After their souls, using magic is simply too easy!" Frostmourne carried her hands on her back, swaying her body in front of Zhengtai Arthas like a little girl, smiling like a flower under the curved willow eyebrows.

Seeing Frostmourne's grief, Arthas moved in his heart and beckoned to her.Frostmourne squatted down in front of Arthas and asked softly, "What~" Arthas stretched out his hand and rubbed her head.Frostmourne was a little surprised at the owner's intimacy, but more of joy, he hummed comfortably like a kitten, and narrowed his eyes into a small slit.

Arthas patted her head and said with a smile: "You said that Sindragosa is like a cat or puppy, I think you are more like it!" Frostmourne opened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Yes again How is it? I want the master to touch my head for a long time! It's just that the portrait on the hilt of the sword before has no head!"
