Kingdom of Stormwind has been quite uneasy recently. First of all, Seventh Legion who was guarding Burning Steppes was transferred to the Aqir battlefield of Silithus. This resulted in the originally very tight Lakeshire There was an omission in Defensive Line, which in itself is not a big deal. After all, five months ago, most of the creatures in Burning Steppes were wiped out by the outbreak of Insect Plague.
But on the third day after this omission in defense appeared, a group of Cultists brazenly attacked Lakeshire. Lakeshire, located next to Lake Everstill, was an Redridge Mountains with a relatively poor environment compared to other Province. Province is the largest human gathering point. Since the old Horde Era, it has been at the forefront of the fight against Orcs. Even after the victory of the Human Alliance, it has been attacked by Blackrock Orcs who are entrenched in Blackrock Mountain. There are one or two invasions almost every year.
In this harsh environment, the militiamen who came out here were even more able to fight than the military in other places. They could win or lose with Blackrock Orcs just by relying on simple weapons. It was definitely a tough folk custom.
This group of Twilight's Hammer's Cultists is also unlucky. They transported a piece of Hive Crystal from a secret place, intending to imitate Burning Steppes's battle five months ago and flood Lakeshire with a sea of insects to announce the arrival of all things Chaos.
But just when they released Hive Crystal, it happened to be the time when C'Thun and Twin Emperors were dead. The vague spiritual connection between Qiraji and his son was immediately severed. Brain Bug in Hive Crystal went crazy and controlled the rampaging Worker Bug to bite all Cultists to death, and then escaped into the vast and stretching mountains of the Redridge Mountains.
Although there were no casualties, Lakeshire's veteran mayor Solomon realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately invited Burning Steppes's Burning Legion and SI:7's Spies to start hunting down these increasingly rampant Cultists within Lakeshire.
Unexpectedly, this investigation actually found the problem!
That night, Cultists, who was chased to a desperate situation, set fire to the house he was hiding in under Despair. As a result, half of Lakeshire was ignited, and more than 40 civilians were killed. This vicious incident spread throughout Kingdom of Stormwind within a week. People who felt that no one around them could be trusted flocked to Stormwind City and Northshire Abbey. This sudden incident directly caused the Stormwind City government that had just resumed operation to almost paralyze.
Moreover, news about Cultists was coming one after another from various places. Faced with such overwhelming bad news, the white-haired King Varian couldn't think of a good way. This good old man could only repeatedly ask his generals and senior officials to ensure the safety of the people.
But even if SI:7 is operating at full capacity, it is still impossible to detect the Headquarters of these Cultistss who suddenly intensified in Kingdom of Stormwind. In the absence of Shaw, Goblin Razor could only use the most old-fashioned method, spreading Spiess all over the country, and cooperated with Militia to destroy Cultists.
But when the country is in turmoil, a high-ranking Bigwigs needs to stand up and reassure people. The current King Varian cannot bear this important task, Benedictus Archbishop was originally the most suitable person, but because Stormwind City had just returned from the battlefield of War of the Shifting Sands, he fell seriously ill. In the end, the regent Bolvar had no choice but to take Little Prince Anduin back from Theramore.
Anduin is Bloodline, the direct descendant of Kingdom of Stormwind Royal Family. In the future, Kingdom of Stormwind will be the destined king. He will take Royal Guard to patrol various places, and the effect will even be better than that of Varian himself.
So in this case, Anduin, who rushed back to Stormwind City from Theramore, embarked on his own journey to tour the country. This was already the fifth day, and they were about to leave Elwynn Forest for Westfall.
"Lakes, do you think Dr. Harrison will blame me?"
Anduin was sitting in a carriage that was not luxurious but very solemn. He usually wiped the blade of the dagger at his waist with a sword cloth and turned to ask Druid Lakes Claw who was sitting next to him.
Young Druid and Little Prince got along unexpectedly, and Cenarion Circle also wanted to set up an ambassador for Stormwind City, so Lakes shouldered this responsibility without hesitation. He knew that originally Dawn Knight planned to arrange for a senior Wardens to protect Anduin, but because Little Prince's identity was quite special, and the situation of Kingdom of Stormwind was also very delicate, this plan ultimately came to nothing.
Facing Little Prince's question, Lakes shook his head, and his green pupils looked out the window of the advancing carriage. Elwynn Forest's lush environment made Lakes enjoy it very much. This exotic customs was also a great experience for Druid.
"That Mr. Harrison Jones has a very young heart hidden under his old-fashioned face. I can smell the Doctor's desire to pursue freedom, so he seemed to be reluctant to walk out of Great Library. But in fact, it can be seen from his beating steps that Mr. the Doctor is probably tired of Library's work."
Lakes explained to Anduin what he saw in detail. For Druid, who is good at observation, these are the truth that can be seen at a glance, but for a child of Anduin's age, it is still a little complicated.
Fortunately, Little Prince learns quickly.
"That is to say, Dr. Harrison also hopes to go out and continue his adventure..."
Anduin put his Long and Short Swords back into the scabbard and took a bunch of information that SI:7 had found from the table in front of him. His face under his golden hair was full of surprise and excitement, "I heard Mentor say that Dr. Harrison's past is very complicated., I asked Spies to help me collect information about him. Oh my god, I didn't even know that my old-fashioned history teacher was actually a quite famous adventurer when he was young, and even got the qualification of an honorary member of Dwarves's Explorers' League."
"I heard that he even challenged the entire Ogre Horde by himself, and finally succeeded. This is simply incredible."
Anduin waved the information in his hand and said to Druid, "Stormwind City There is always Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Royal Family. I remember this was what my father told me back then. I always thought it was a joke. Now it seems that my father was not telling a joke."
"That's when..."
"Bang!"
Before Lakes finished speaking, the Royal Family carriage they were riding in flipped completely into the air. Amidst the air waves pushed by Fire Elemental, it seemed as if it was lifted from the ground by an invisible big hand. The four Warhorse horses pulling the cart with the same color were blown into Fragments at the moment of the explosion, and the blood and flesh filled the remote trail of Elwynn Forest in an instant.
The accompanying Royal Knightss immediately drew out their weapons, shouted and quickly formed Defensive Formations, while several officers ran towards the carriage that was thrown to the side of the road.
This not luxurious car was made by the magic craftsmen of Dalaran. This kind of explosion cannot destroy its structure, but the safety of Prince is above all else!
So Captain Royal Guard took out the fireworks for help. As soon as they were lit, the red fireworks flew more than ten meters away and were cut into four pieces by a shadow that came out of the forest. The shadow flickered to the ground and then blew a whistle.
The next moment, more black shadows appeared from the forest where they were hiding, fighting with the Royal Knightss.
They wore black leather armor and covered their faces with black cloth strips. They didn't say a word, fought with Dagger or short swords, and struck fiercely. They were obviously used to doing this kind of thing.
In the overturned carriage, the green Thorn Vines filled the entire space. Lakes was considered the new star of Cenarion Circle. At the critical moment, he used the most direct method to protect Anduin very well. Little Prince was only a little dizzy because of the vibration of the carriage and did not suffer any damage.
The sound of fighting outside the carriage and the smell of blood made Lakes's face turn cold to the extreme. He retracted the vines, and then kicked open Great Door, which was enclosed by the carriage. The Black-armored Rogue that rushed towards him was directly strangled in mid-air by Thorn Vines that rose from the ground, Anger's Druid showed no mercy in this situation. His Avatar black Nightsaber disappeared in place. In less than half a minute, all five Rogues who besieged the carriage were stabbed to death from behind by the highly poisonous Claw.
"Anduin, follow me, we are about to break out!"
Lakes, who still had blood on his hands, reached out to Little Prince who was holding Long and Short Swords tightly. The latter grabbed his hand and said quickly,
"To the northeast, there is a fortress there, Westbrook Garrison. The soldiers stationed there are trustworthy!"
Lakes hugged Little Prince's body with both hands and quickly took two steps forward. The whole person was in Green Mist. Avatar grabbed Anduin's body and flew into the sky for a Storm Crow.
But at the moment he flew into the air, an almost transparent and slender figure appeared behind him. It was a petite Female Orcs with a hint of wildness. The two simple and ferocious Dagger in his hand swiped across the wings of Storm Crow, and then disappeared in mid-air.
Lakes let out a cry of pain. He could no longer maintain the form of Storm Crow. After turning into a human form, he held Anduin in his arms and fell to the ground obliquely. Finally, he hit a thick tree trunk. Little Prince let out a cry of pain. When he landed, his leg was still injured.
"Go! Go quickly!"
Druid, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, leaned against the tree trunk and pushed Anduin into the woods with difficulty, "Their target is you! Go quickly, don't go to Westbrook Garrison! There are spies inside Stormwind City, find a way to get back to Theramore!"
Looking at the miserable Druid, Anduin gritted his teeth, then used the sheath Longsword in his hand to lean on his body, and limped into the forest. A few seconds later, Lakes stood up against the tree trunk, inserted the Staff in his hand into the ground, and Thorn Thicket drove Spread in the forest, and soon entangled the road Anduin left.
"I said, shouldn't you be grateful to me for letting you live?"
A hoarse voice sounded from behind Druid, and the voice was full of some kind of weird... impatience, "It's annoying enough to deal with these Cult Madmen, so if I were you, I would obediently let go. What is your relationship with that little cutie? Is it worth your life for him?"
Lakes didn't answer. He knew very well that the guy behind him, who was at least Heroic, didn't need his answer. It was just a cat playing a trick on a mouse.
On the other side, Anduin struggled to walk through the trees of Elwynn Forest. The injury on his leg was not serious, but the continuous bleeding had made him feel a little numb. Little Prince could only run while using Holy Light to treat his leg injury. Fortunately, Anveena taught him Flash of Light, otherwise he would not be able to survive now.
Anduin Although he was a little panicked before, he has calmed down completely now. Lakes is right. His whereabouts are top secret. There must be something wrong inside Stormwind City. That City is no longer safe, but he can't go back Theramore alone. He has to go to another place!
Karazhan!
There, there he can contact everyone at Mentor and Theramore, and he knows that after his good friend Med'an takes control of Karazhan, A contact point is set up at Darkshire, so he only needs to go through Elwynn Forest, go through the Lailinya River, and then find a way to get to Darkshire, and he will be completely safe.
But to be honest, Anduin doesn't know if he can succeed, his hope is too slim.
Ten minutes later, at the moment when Anduin finally passed through the forest and reached the river, a Chains sprang out from the darkness behind him and tied up the running Little Prince like Viper. This unexpected scene made Anduin lose his balance and fell embarrassingly on the river bank.
Then he saw the face he had known for a long time.
"Oh, Anduin, little cutie, from the look in your eyes, I know you know me, right?"
"Garona! You bastard who assassinated my Grandfather!"
Facing Little Prince who was as hairy as little Lion, Orcs female Rogue shrugged her shoulders, "You can scold me all you want, little cutie, but you'd better restrain yourself. The next guys are not as good-tempered as me."
After saying that, Garona mentioned Anduin and was about to leave, but at this moment, a little girl's voice came into the ears of the two people.
"Look! Uncle Chen, that kid has been taken away!"
