"He's in front!"
White Pawn rode a majestic Quel'dorei war horse and found the assassin mark left by Garona on a nearby branch. Then he determined the direction and shouted to Arthas and Jialiya behind him:
"Follow me! We are getting closer to him."
Arthas didn't answer, but just pulled the reins, letting the "unicorn" accelerate to catch up with White Pawn.
Princess Calia beside him is not bad at riding either. He also rides a white Quel'dorei Steed and follows his two younger brothers. The horses of these three people were found in the chaotic palace, and their pursuit of King Terenas, who evacuated the battlefield through "Void Gate", was not a sudden move.
Mainly because Varian discovered the tracking information left by Garona.
In the previous Stormwind war, Garona specifically taught him how to distinguish these Shadow Council unique marks. Judging from the mark positions, Garona should have been lucky enough to discover the traces of King Terenas in the chaos.
She obviously left the mark not just to attract three young men as reinforcements, but it was indeed difficult for other forces to rush over in time to support her in the chaotic city.
They have now chased Western Sanctum. From here they can already see the dock of Sunsail Anchorage. If King Terenas chose this road to evacuate, he must leave Quel'Thalas by sea.
"There must be a ship picking him up, and it must have been arranged in advance! So today's bad things were not random. He had already made a plan before he came to behead Marshal Lothar today.
Damn it!
He actually allowed his Dragonborn and Trolls to cooperate. Has he forgotten why Arathor Empire was originally established?"
White Pawn The anger of renunciation.
He felt that he had never been so angry with a human being. The outburst of anger made White Pawn's eyes under the helmet full of bloodshot eyes.
King Terenas's behavior today cannot be described as bad. He is simply a traitor to human tradition.
Varian's scolding made Arthas's face darken even more.
This guy is wearing a set of Eagle War Armor, which is the spare armor prepared by Varian for himself, so it is almost identical to the armor worn by White Pawn.
A very standard human battle armor style, but the shoulders are dotted with quite artistic eagle pauldrons. The right shoulder is the Lion's Roar pauldron style, and the overall model is forged after the Lion Armor set of Marshal Lothar.
Because Onyxia handled it, both sets of armor were mixed with Elementium Steel, making their protective capabilities quite amazing.
This thing is obviously not for soldiers to wear, but considering the identity and status of the two young men, it is not outrageous to have such armor in this chaotic era.
They are indeed true "elite units", because of Prosperity Ritual, they all have the potential to become "heroes".
"I saw it!"
After crossing the hills of Western Sanctum, Varian caught a group of Dragonborn in Goblin Telescope escorting King Terenas to the coast opposite Sunsail Anchorage, where a black passenger ship was waiting.
They are about to reach the coast.
"Rush!"
White Pawn threw the telescope back into his bag, pulled out the Saramani sword from behind, and rushed out at the lead.
Arthas turned around and shouted to his sister:
"You stay here and don't come over! Don't worry. Masters White Pawn and Garona and I are also nearby. We can deal with them! But don't come over."
After saying that, Arthas also encouraged Holy Light to rush out with Warden's Crystal Warhammer in his hand and follow Varian.
The two did not hide their pursuit, so they were soon discovered by the knight Dragonborn who was escorting the king. King Terenas had been stabbed by Lothar before. Even if Dragonborn had super self-healing, the movement of riding a horse was still very awkward.
He had no intention of paying attention to the two pursuers.
But when he turned back, Dragonborn's exaggerated dynamic vision allowed him to capture the face of the young man riding the black Quel'dorei war horse.
Arthas deliberately took off his helmet just to let his father see him.
"Arthas?"
Although he could not understand why his eldest son grew up overnight, King Terenas still stopped at this moment. He looked at Arthas. The king was very satisfied with the bravery and fearlessness the child showed at this time.
He is much more promising than when he was younger.
But it was Holy Light who was hanging around that made the king very unhappy. Holy Light is not Lordaron Kingdom's "friend" now.
Archbishop Faol's persistence in Light's Hope Chapel made it almost a base camp for traitors who resisted the king's rule!
After accepting the power of the black dragon, they obviously cannot embrace Holy Light, so Lordaron Kingdom currently does not have Paladin.
There are many Priest, but they are all priests who follow the shadows and are led by the very capable "Royal Witch".
"Your Majesty! You should leave immediately."
The king's guard whispered:
"These two pursuers are of average strength, your knights will get rid of them for you..."
"That's my son."
King Terenas waved his hand and said:
"He wants to talk to me. How can I let the child down? Let Tidesages wait a few more minutes.
Warriors, follow me!"
The king took a Dragonborn Blade from the guard.
His ancestral war hammer Might of Menethil was cut off by Strom'kar, the Holy Sword before, and now it is placed in his horse pocket.
As King Terenas led several Dragonborn knights to rush over, Varian leaned against Biya and leaned down on his horse.
He flattened the blade of Saramani, and kicked his war horse with the spikes of his boots.
The Quel'dorei war horse is already a divine horse, but it actually accelerated again while running at high speed, carrying White Pawn and passing by a Dragonborn knight. The war blade slashed on Varian's armor, leaving only a trace, but Elven God-Sword's sharpness was unstoppable, and the impact force split Dragonborn into two.
This kind of heart-cutting injury was equally fatal to Dragonborn. The scales on his skin obviously couldn't protect him, and the broken body fell to the ground amidst the neighing of the war horse.
The first death came so suddenly, its name was "Pride".
Garona, who had been lurking all this time, also quietly appeared at this moment, jumping out from the shadow of the Dragonborn knight, and the deadly "Death from Above" made the scarlet blades fly around, the knight beside Terenas was neatly executed with a thousand cuts, and the fatal Kingslayer also penetrated the back of Terenas's armor with the force of the impact.
However, this sure blow did not make King Dragonborn fall to the ground immediately. On the contrary, Garona almost had his arm cut off by the Dragonborn war blade that King Terenas slashed towards him.
The master assassin jumped a few times to distance herself. She glanced at the blood on Kingslayer. The blow just now definitely pierced Terenas's heart.
She was certain the assassination was successful.
But the king did not show any signs of weakness, and even had a fierce weapon collision with his son Wolf, who was charging towards him.
Arthas was knocked off his horse, but King Terenas was also shocked by Holy Light and fell off his dragon-blooded horse. The father and son just struggled together, raising their weapons and engaging in a jealous "father's kindness and son's filial piety" on the slightly chaotic coast.
Varian wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Garona.
The master assassin made a gesture, and the two of them passed each other to deal with the remaining Dragon Knight.
Fortunately, Garona is a legendary master assassin and has magic weapons at his disposal. He has been following Khadgar in Northern Borderlands these days, and he knows the weaknesses of Dragonborn clearly. It is no problem to confront one or two high-level Dragonborn head-on.
But Varian is a bit worse.
His own strength is locked up because of Prosperity Ritual. He can easily bully ordinary warriors on the battlefield, but he is a little nervous when encountering these elite dark creatures.
The sneak attack tactic just now can only be effective once.
After the opponent has seen the terrifying power of Saramani with his own eyes, he will naturally avoid close combat with White Pawn, and Dragonborn has wings that can easily distance him, so he can use the dangerous Shadowflame to slowly build this battle crane.
However, White Pawn is certainly capable of surviving on a dangerous battlefield until now.
He can even achieve success in the dangerous Mount Hyjal battlefield, and his rich combat experience far exceeds his young appearance at this time.
The Dragonborn spread its wings and flew into the air, holding two balls of Shadowflame in both hands and smashing them to the ground. However, after it landed and exploded, only the white Quel'dorei war horse rushed out but Varian was missing. This made Dragonborn blink.
His eyes transformed into snake pupils for careful observation, but Burning Blade Secret and Windwalk were not that easy to see through.
Garona on the other side had already killed the second Dragon Knight among Killing Spree. The remaining two people took turns to cover, but were attacked from far and near by Garona who kept jumping in the shadows, making them extremely wolf-like.
Once the heavy flying knife made by the master assassin's elusive "Deadly Throw" combined with Rezan's Fang hits, even Dragonborn's Life Force will have to drink a lot.
Don't blame the elite Dragonborns for being in such a mess, because they faced two "Krypton Gold Warriors".
Needless to say, Garona's weapons are open. Her small arsenal contains at least three or four artifacts and a lot of legendary weapons. Her leather armor is made of Hakkar's Bloodspattered Scales, which is both tough and flexible, and has resistance to magic. The war blade in Dragonborn's hand is difficult to break through.
"Got you!"
The flying Dragonborn saw the silhouette of White Pawn disappearing next to a tree. It immediately flew down and splashed the dangerous Shadowflame, igniting everything around it. When the attacked White Pawn burst like bubbles, Dragonborn was about to take off in a flash.
But it's too late.
Gleam Saramani, glowing with cold light, has fallen from behind. The most standard Sword Saint is a stealth-breaking blow, and the Execute magic skill comes with an absolute critical hit.
The sword fell down, and blood burst out.
The Dragonborn's head and half of its wings were smashed into the dragon fire.
Varian had no time to rest, so he turned around and Charge entered Windwalk again, and went to support Garona to deal with the remaining Dragon Knight. Then the three of them worked together to surround and kill Terenas.
The strategy is very clear, and it is rare that there is no communication during the battle. The whole process is communicated with eyes and gestures to make plans. It can be seen that White Pawn has followed Lothar these days. It is indeed not in vain, and it is already a qualified warrior mentality.
However, they ignored the few guys who had disembarked from the boat on the coast. Those guys were wearing robes and looked like spellcasters, but they were wearing Tidesage Holy Crest and were stained with shadows.
They are approaching the battlefield and want to rescue King Terenas who is trapped in a tight siege.
King Dragonborn was not in a hurry at this moment. Although he was injured and could not use his left arm, he could still suppress the angry Arthas with only his right arm.
"Your growth is perfect. Perhaps it is some kind of secret skill from Draenor that allows me to see my grown-up son in advance. To be honest, if this is you twenty years from now, then I can definitely hand over the country to you with confidence."
He said:
"Now you are qualified to inherit the royal power, Arthas, come home with me."
"Go back and drink the blood of the black dragon with you? What's the difference between that and dying?"
Arthas is very embarrassed.
His Holy Light Gleam armor can protect him from being hurt, but it is difficult to use for effective attacks. In addition to having far less combat experience than White Pawn, his angry state at this time also makes it difficult for him to control the divine power well.
Facing his father's call, Arthas roared:
"When I came back, when I was on the road, and even when I arrived at Quel'Thalas, I still had illusions about you! I felt that the news might be a bit exaggerated, and I felt that you might have been coerced by those dangerous people.
You may even be bewitched by dark spells!
As long as I can wake you up with Holy Light, I can still see the majestic but gentle father I once had. If you can go back to that time, I will do my best to use my Holy Light to help you defend the country and the people.
But no more!
My fantasy was shattered by reality, father!
You let me see your most unbearable side with my own eyes, and you personally killed the hero in my heart Terenas.
Undeclared war, colluding with Trolls, burning the flames of war into the land of elves, summoning dark evil things to kill Sun King and Black Crow King..
You!
How did you become like this?"
He swung Naru's Hammer to hit it, and Gleam's gleaming war hammer was blocked by King Terenas with one hand. When facing off against his son's incredible strength, the king looked at the anger in his child's eyes and said:
"Well, you are a little disappointed now. Is it because you have heard too many stories of justice, so you have placed those illusory things in an important position in your life?
But how can you allow yourself to abandon your duties and be content with just being a "righteous person"?
You are the prince of Lordaeron!
You are destined to rule the kingdom with your strength and your courage, not with your justice and your mercy,
That is not the virtue a king should have."
"But that's my virtue!!!"
Arthas roared.
Under King Terenas's strange gaze, the golden Holy Light exploded on his son's body, swung Light Wings up like an eagle spreading its wings, and hit his body left and right. The hot purifying power made the king roar in discomfort, and he stepped back to block.
However, Arthas among Avenging Wrath pounced on it, hitting the center of the mouth with a hammer.
The king was repulsed.
He looked at Arthas, who was as powerful as a rainbow and shrouded in wings.
He looked at his son standing like "Lightbringer" in the story Holy Light on this war-torn land.
Golden feathers of light fell from all over Arthas, filling the scarred face with some emotion that was difficult for the king to understand.
But he knew that between becoming a leader and sticking to himself, his children chose the latter.
This is also normal.
Although Arthas has a mature body, his mind is just that of a simple child. He cannot understand what a difficult path it means to insist on himself.
He also didn't realize how valuable he would give up.
My child is still young and he still has time to grow up. Holy Light must have "led him astray"! After all, what does a child know?
"Go back with me!"
Arthas roared loudly:
"Come back with me Silvermoon City and apologize to those who were hurt by you!"
"You want me to kneel under the banner of the elves Confession?"
Terenas laughed and said:
"My son thinks that as long as I do this, the elves will forgive me. His simple justice makes him think that I am a bad person, but completely ignores that it is the people of Quel'Thalas who detained Lordaeron...:
They were the ones who picked first!
Sorry, I can't follow you back. Your father also has his own desires and ideals, and I am walking on this path now. I may not need to ask you to explain these.
You still can't understand the adult world...,
Follow me home!
I will spend a lot of time teaching you that my empire also needs an heir.
The fanaticism of justice is a disease that prevents you from living well in this vicious world, but I believe it can be cured."
"Don't even think about it!"
Arthas jumped over with the war hammer of Gleam, and in the brilliance of Avenging Wrath, he smashed the weapon down at the man in front of him. However, he was blocked by the sudden appearance of huge dragon wings, and the light was shattered with a swift slap.
The prince's war hammer flew out and exploded when it landed on the ground due to the conflict between the gloomy power and Holy Light.
Arthas himself was choked by the king and lifted into the air, using the arm that had been injured by Lothar before. The dark red dragon claws were like armed gauntlets, holding Arthas so that he could not resist.
"I said, you have to go home with me! I don't give you the right to refuse."
King Terenas's tone became cold.
Arthas's Holy Light is fighting back, but in the face of the flow of Dark Power in the dragon's claws and the beating of Shadowflame that ignites all things, the light can only be limited to protecting the prince from being burned.
"Arthas!"
White Pawn was carrying Elven God-Sword and was about to step forward to help, but the next second he was latched onto his body by dark tentacles advancing from his feet.
Garona jumped three times in a row to avoid the strange tentacle attacks. She looked back a second before jumping into the shadows and saw those dark and sick Tidesages casting spells and chanting.
"Father! Don't do this!"
Jialiya, who was outside the battlefield, had a premonition that something was not going well.
She rushed over, knelt down and dismounted, trying to stop her father from taking away her brother, but when she got close to Terenas, Garona jumped out of the shadow and hugged her body, dragging her back.
King Terenas is already so comfortable!
He can't listen to anything he says now. Arthas has proven that mortal emotions cannot shake Terenas's inner pursuit of power.
That was his inherent character flaw, and it was quietly strengthened by Void into a "pillar of life" state.
"You."
King Terenas looked at his daughter who was crying endlessly.
He shook his head, perhaps still a little soft-hearted, and waved his hand and said:
"Find a good family to marry and live your life well, Jialiya. Either your father or I will become the emperor."
Either you die without a burial, no matter what the outcome is, it will not give you a lifetime of happiness.
Girl.:
Go to Draenor.
Go there and live anonymously, and stop worrying about the future of this chaotic world.
My daughter, this is my last tenderness and blessing for you."
"No, don't!"
Jialiya screamed:
"Help me, help me!"
She didn't know who she was calling, but this helpless cry did not stop King Lordaeron from leaving. He looked at White Pawn trapped by the shadow tentacles, and seemed to recognize him but did not hurt him.
He just bent down and took out Elven God-Sword from White Pawn's hand.
His ancestral warhammer was broken into pieces, and he needed an invincible weapon in the coming war.
"This is to thank your father for taking care of my useless children, Varian Wrynn,
Cherish your life, and I won't show mercy next time."
He said casually, flapped the dragon wings and knocked Varian away to Garona's feet, and then dragged his struggling son towards the coast under the escort of Tidesages, but after a few seconds, they stopped.
When King Terenas looked back, he saw his daughter floating in the air in a strange way.
The dazzling light surged from her body and exploded into a corona, and the illusion of Golden Little Angel flew around Jialiya. When she opened her eyes again, a golden ray of Sunflare fire danced in the corner of her eyes.
"Jialiya is just an ordinary person, she can't bear even one percent of my power..."
Vigilant, who enabled "Divine Descent" again, said softly:
"So you can leave, but you must put Arthas down! He will return to Lordaeron among the flying petals. He will go to inherit you, and you will see with your own eyes the inheritance of power that belongs to you."
"Just one percent of the power?"
King Terenas said coldly:
"Are you a little too arrogant? Alien Saint!"
"Pa"
Several Tidesagess beside him simultaneously reached out and pressed Terenas's shoulders, and then covered his mouth as he uttered arrogant words. They used their dim eyes to signal the king of Lordaeron to do the same!
Don't make a single unnecessary move, don't say a single unnecessary word!
The earthly king cannot understand the concept of Vigilant with one percent extraordinary power. This Saint, who is far away from the star sea but still shines like the sun, has descended into an incarnation. In his current state, he may not be able to defeat them, but he definitely has a way to drag all the villains here to melt into the light.
"Say hello to N'Zoth for me."
When Arthas was placed on the ground, the divinity of Vigilant quietly emerged from Jialiya's body Dispersion.
In the Dispersion of that daylight, he said to the Tidesagess:
"I wish Thousand Tentacle Demon a long life, and I will visit it soon. In N'yalotha·Slumbering City,
I will wake it up... to reproduce the dream of the Dark Empire? Oh, it is really very sick.
Time to wake up!"
