My Frostmourne can't be so cute

Anduin Lothar nodded, and turned to a member of the Brotherhood of Iron Horses and said: "Go and inform the army and camp on the spot." King Terenas also arranged for the royal guard of Lordaeron by his side to inform him. The troops and the Knights of the Silver Hand let the whole army camp on the spot.

After everything was arranged, King Terenas and Sir Anduin Lothar took Varian and a few guards. They left the cavalry queue that was slightly chaotic because of the order to camp, and drove east along the road. Away.

King Terenas is a bit older, so the speed of the group is not fast; and during this time, King Terenas also explained to Anduin Lothar that the high elf ranger just now The military situation he reported.

"Ms. Alleria's companions told me that they were five hundred meters away from Dunhold Castle. They met the scouts of the human army." King Terenas' body was slightly heaving and wrinkling on the bumpy horseback. Said with a frown.

"Scout? A outpost... how could there be a scout?" Anduin Lothar also participated in some military affairs within the Kingdom of Lordaeron, knowing the functions of Dunhold Castle, there are usually only a dozen militiamen.How could you send scouts outside the castle?

"It's Stromgarde's army." King Terenas hesitated and said in a low voice.Anduin Lothar also frowned, no longer speaking, but secretly urging the horse to speed up.

Like Alsace before, Anduin Lothar also had a bad guess in his heart—the battle with the orcs was about to come, but the soldiers of Stromgarde suddenly entered the territory of Lordaeron...

Although already understand.Things may have developed to the side that is not conducive to the unity of the alliance, but Anduin Lothar has a special status. As the leader of the remnants of Stormwind, he has no position to intervene in the territorial dispute between the two most powerful human kingdoms.

Moreover, legally speaking, as Anduin Lothar, a direct descendant of the Arathor Empire, he still has the right to inherit the Arathi Highlands, replacing the descendants of Thoradin the Great as the master of Stromgarde’s family, perhaps right. Lothar’s identity is even more taboo...

A dozen horses galloped along the straight road in Hillsbrad, and soon came near Thoradin's Wall.The main road leads directly to the gate of Dunhold Castle. King Terenas stopped his horse, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the gate of Dunhold Castle.

The outpost fortress that should have been silent in the night is now full of lights/fires.Two teams of soldiers wearing human army-standard plate armor and red tabards held up torches and stood on two sides in front of the gate of Dunhold Castle; on their chests, a red-bottomed tabard was embroidered The white falcon-that is the emblem of the Kingdom of Stromgarde.

"This is..." Anduin Lothar muttered in a low voice. King Terenas next to him had already mobilized his horse and slowly walked towards the door of Dunhold Castle.The accompanying Royal Guard of Lordaeron followed his lord, ignoring the soldiers of Stromgarde.

"I am the king of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Menethil II. Why did Stromgarde’s troops appear on our country? Please explain, otherwise, your actions will be regarded as an invasion, Lordaeron The alliance with Stromgarde will also end.” King Terenas’s horse stopped not far from the gate of Dunhold Castle, and his loud voice echoed in the silent field—even though it was one. A benevolent and generous monarch, but the majesty accumulated by the Menethil family for generations must not be desecrated.(To be continued.)

Chapter 251 Poor Blackmore

As if to show the majesty of the lord and echo the threat of King Terenas, the royal guards of Lordaeron behind him pulled out their weapons one after another. Dunhold was reflected in the bimonthly in the sound of drawing swords. In front of the castle gate, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Several members of the Brotherhood of the Iron Horse looked at Anduin Lothar together, waiting for his instructions, but they didn't expect the situation to take a sharp turn and become a little dramatic.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as King Terenas's voice fell, a slightly fat soldier in simple chain mail ran out of Dunhold Castle and came to King Terenas' horse. Before, he bent down humbly and bowed to King Terenas almost ninety degrees.

The soldier's stomach is not small, so it is very difficult to make such a move.Although it seemed innocent, a Lordaeron royal guard still planned to move forward and fend off the unknown soldier from the lord.

"His Majesty, the militia captain Ruhr from Hillsbrad Hills salutes you." As if feeling the hostility of the guards around King Terenas, the soldier introduced his identity.

The soldiers of Lordaeron are divided into soldiers and militiamen. Soldiers usually wear standard plate armor and a tabard embroidered with a double-headed eagle emblem on their chest. The militiamen have various equipment. The soldier’s chain mail, It was indeed the outfit of the captain of the militia team.

"Salute to you too, my warrior, please raise your head." King Terenas's tone was a little calmer-whether it was a soldier or a militia, even ordinary farmers, as long as they guard the land of Lordaeron If you take up a weapon, you deserve the respect of King Terenas.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The militia captain Ruhr raised his head in excitement and looked at King Terenas's face; but then he realized that his behavior was a bit rude, and quickly lowered his head.

"Ruhr, are you the captain of the militia at Dunhold Castle? These soldiers in Stromgarde...what the hell is going on?" Seeing the appearance of his subjects, King Terenas realized that it might be something he had speculated. Something was different, so he asked Ruhr.

"As you can see. Your Majesty King Terenas. I am the son of Thoras Trollbane, Garin Trollbane. I took my men from Stromgarde to Dun on the orders of my father. Hold Castle, help the lord here to capture the traitors who colluded with the orcs." Ruhr did not speak yet.A heavily armed warrior with a blue headband walked out of Dunhold Castle, stood not far from King Terenas' horse, and leaned slightly to greet him.

"Garin?" King Terenas obviously knew the prince of Stromgarde. He rolled over and got off his horse. Calfskin stitched leather boots stepped on the dirt road in front of Dunhold Castle.Came to the front of Prince Garin.

Anduin Lothar and the others also got off their horses. On one side, the soldiers from Stromgarde came forward and took the reins of their horses.Seeing that King Terenas had confirmed the identity of the opponent, and the existence of Ruhr proved that there was an inside story, Lothar did not stop the behavior of these Stromgarde soldiers and came to King Terenas.

"Do you remember me?" Galin asked King Terenas with a laugh.

"Of course." King Terenas answered with a smile, and then introduced the identities of Anduin Lothar and Varian to Prince Garin.

After hearing Anduin Lothar's name, there was a glimmer of excitement in Prince Garlin's eyes. He nodded in tribute to Anduin Lothar and Varian, while turning his body sideways.An inviting gesture was made, "Your Majesty King Terenas, many things have happened in Dunhold Castle. Let's go to the Chamber to discuss it!"

King Terenas didn't mind that Garin put on a master's posture on his territory, but said casually: "That's fine too." After speaking, he walked into Dunhold Castle first.

Although the previous Stromgarde soldiers stood at the door with fanfare and lit their torches, the interior of Dunhold Castle was already silent.

King Terenas, who stepped into the castle, saw a man with a disheveled hair and tied to a spear pole at a glance, and then stopped.Hesitatingly said: "...Blackmore?"

"Woo..." Although the man seemed to be asleep before, he immediately raised his head when he heard the voice of King Terenas.The body also struggled violently.

However, the bundled spears were driven deep into the ground, and the man's mouth was blocked by a rag again, so he could only make a vague sound.

King Terenas became serious, turned to look at Prince Garlin, and said angrily, "Prince Garlin, you said. Are you here to help Blackmoore capture the traitor? How did you imprison him instead? Now? Since when did Stromgarde have the power to deal with the lord for Lordaeron?"

King Terenas knew Blackmore. The lord’s family originally lived on the Hillsbrad Hills. It was a prominent family and had relations with many royal families in the kingdom.

It’s just that, in the war of the Gilneas Kingdom to invade Hillsbrad Hills many years ago, Blackmoore’s father was deprived of his territory due to treason, and he was sent to this remote outpost on the border by King Terenas. .

Although the relationship with the Blackmoore family is not harmonious, King Terenas, as the lord of Blackmoore, naturally cannot see the nobles who vassalize him receive such treatment.

At the sign of King Terenas, several Lordaeron royal guards drew out the weapons that had been retracted from the scabbard around their waists and faced Galin Trollbane in a guard posture; at the same time, there was another one. The royal guard of Lordaeron wanted to come to Blackmore's side and free the embarrassed lord.

"Ah... this..." Prince Garlin didn't care about the blades faintly directed at him, but greeted the royal guard of Lordaeron who wanted to liberate Blackmore, and then explained to King Terenas. Said: "Your Majesty King Terenas, Blackmore is trapped here... It's your son, Prince Arthas' decision."

"Alsace?" King Terenas was taken aback for a moment, beckoned to the royal guard of Lordaeron, then turned his gaze to Garlin, waiting for his explanation.

Varian moved faster. He took a step and came to Prince Garin. He grabbed his arm and said eagerly, "Have you seen Arthas? How is he? There is no danger, right? He is now Is it here?"

Varian used a lot of strength, and Garin's strong body was also shaken by him.In the look of Varian’s expectation and the slightly worried gaze of King Terenas, Garin Trollbane told the truth about his encounter with Arthas and the story of the Prince of Lordaeron. Whereabouts: "Prince Arthas has left here and went to Dun Modr Fort. Although it was Blackmore who sent my father's request for help at first, I was sent here to help him catch the traitor, but After Prince Arthas arrived, he found..." (To be continued.)

Chapter 252 Dreamland

"Bah!" Varian came to Blackmore, who was tied to the bundle of spear shafts, and spat on his face.Varian had a deep hatred of the orcs, and it was the reason for the green-skinned invaders that he lost his father, subjects and home.After hearing the story of Prince Garin, the young Stormwind Prince even temporarily forgotten his concern about the safety of his friend Alsace, and focused on the human traitor Blackmoore.

Anduin Lothar and King Terenas would naturally not be impulsive and rude like Varian, but they would not have a hint of pity for Blackmore.

Normally speaking, even if Blackmoore is guilty of treason, he should only bear the consequences for his actions after the trial; before the trial, he is still a nobleman and should not be subjected to such humiliating treatment-imprisonment is OK And it is necessary, but it should never be tied to the yard like a hog.

However, everyone present seemed to have overlooked this question. King Terenas no longer looked at Blackmore who was still whining, but, under the leadership of Prince Garlin, walked in with Anduin Lothar. The main building in the courtyard of Dunhold Castle.

Sitting down in the not-so-wide conference hall, the servants and cooks who had already slept were called by the soldiers of Stromgarde, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and serving the three distinguished adults in the chamber a simple Eat food and thick soup.

Sir Anduin Lothar looked ugly at the busy servants until they finished their work and left the chamber. Only Prince Garlin, King Terenas and Lothar remained at the long table. At his own time, the supreme commander of the Human Alliance army finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, and slammed the table top of the long table severely, and roared: "Why is this? Why are so many people running away Acting as spies for those dirty mess?"

Anduin Lothar's experience can be said to be rich. When he was young, he traveled the southern half of the continent with his best friend-then Prince Ryan Wrynn of Stormwind and the young mage Medivh.The intrigue between the nobles, the appearance in the palace is in harmony.There is nothing that Anduin Lothar has experienced in the mutual intrusion between the army.

But he still couldn't understand that the orcs were obviously beasts, just like the jackals who invaded their homeland.Why would people like Aiden Pernold and Blackmore choose to take refuge in orcs?What can they get?What do you want?

"You don't need to care so much...Sir Lothar." King Terenas patted Anduin Lothar's cold plate shoulders. "According to Garlin, Blackmore has something different to orcs from us. The same attitude... didn't he tame an orc as his servant when he was very early?"

Thought of this.King Terenas shook his head slightly and smiled wryly-from the situation described by Garlin, Blackmore adopted an orc baby, raised it, and taught him to use human language and writing... What's the point?What purpose does Blackmore want to achieve with this orc who has accepted human civilization?

A bold idea suddenly appeared in King Terenas' heart—if human civilization is extended to the tribe of orcs...Can these ferocious beasts be changed?

This idea only flashed past, and King Terenas anxiously rejected it-although kindness and justice are the necessary qualities of the monarch, the illusory but extremely real dream reminded King Terenas, yes The benevolence of the orcs will only make his subjects pay more blood.

After thinking about Blackmore's matter for a moment, King Terenas left it behind-this family has always been good at betraying.Last time they deserted their lord, this time it was their race.

But Blackmoore has not caused any important losses after all, revealing the identity of the spy.Under this circumstance, there is no need to impose any special punishment on him. He just needs to be imprisoned, and after the war is slowed down, he and Aiden Pernault will be dealt with on the basis of "treason".

King Terenas was thinking about his son, Arthas.In fact, he didn't want to be what Anduin Lothar and Varian thought.There was no worry about Arthas, it was just that the Lord of Lordaeron was worried in his heart, completely different from the others, and he was worried.There is also a bit of confusion.

"Your Majesty King Terenas." Sir Anduin Lothar's voice awakened the Lord of Lordaeron from his absence.

"Oh, sorry. I was thinking about Alsace." Seeing Anduin Lothar looked at himself with some doubts, King Terenas explained.
