"Die! Execute!"
Another high-ranking Warrior, with exceptional physical abilities and immense strength, actually broke free from the ice and leaped up to attack Jaina!
Jaina neither dodged nor evaded, but simply swung her staff. The next moment, the high-ranking Warrior had transformed into a snow-white rabbit. This little princess of Kul Tiras seems to have a particular fondness for rabbits? Shouldn't it be a weakling blue dragon?
The high-level mage used Fire Blast to break through the ice, and then tried to escape using Invisibility.
But how could he possibly escape under the watchful eye of a Archmage?
An Frostbolt was encased in a layer of scorching flames—this was the " Frostfire Bolt." It struck the high-level mage instantly, breaking his invisibility. The flames burned his clothes, but the ice froze his body, causing him irreparable damage.
With a gentle wave of his staff, a blast of ice storm enveloped Mordred, the high-level mage, the high-level Warrior, and the high-level assassin. The extreme cold even made Jiang Jie, who was five meters away, shiver.
" Cone of Cold!"
Finally, Jaina waved her staff once more, unleashing dozens of Arcane Missiles in a terrifying missile storm that obliterated all the high-level assassins, mages, and Warrior, leaving only Mordred frozen once more.
Other people's Arcane Missiles are at most three or five, but she fired dozens at once!
Jiang Jie noticed that when Jaina cast her spells, several parts of her body shimmered with azure or violet light. This female mage possessed at least five or six pieces of purple epic-quality equipment...
rich!
Jaina made her move, and in less than 20 seconds, all five high-level professionals were utterly defeated.
The Archmage's strength is indeed terrifying! Or to be more precise, the power of equipment worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins is indeed terrifying!
"Your Majesty, we've arrived." Jaina stretched out her hand, and the Four-Element Barrier vanished instantly. The Elemental Necklace flew directly from Terenas's hand to hers. She then glanced at Jiang Jie, thought for a moment, and tossed it to Jiang Jie.
She ultimately didn't like the Elemental Necklace from the High Elf prince Kael'thas.
"Father!"
Princess Calia finally rushed in, lifting her skirt, and threw herself into Terenas's arms. "By the Holy Light! Thank goodness you're not hurt! Oh, you're hurt? Quick, quickly, call the court Priest!"
Soon, a court Priest rushed in to detoxify Terenas and treat the minor wound on her neck.
At this moment, a large number of palace guards and palace sorcerers finally arrived, and quickly killed the rebellious members of the Cult of the Damned, thus taking control of the situation in the palace.
"Your Majesty, Princess Calia was worried about your safety, so she asked me to bring this Elemental Necklace to protect you." Jiang Jie took the Elemental Necklace, walked up to Terenas, and handed it to Princess Calia.
Now he finally understood just how powerful this necklace was—it was definitely a purple epic quality necklace!
As a magical item, and also of purple epic quality, its value far surpasses that of the Gut Ripper, its worth being immeasurable! Let alone ordinary people, even a baronial family might not be able to afford this necklace even if they sold all their possessions. Most importantly, even if you had the money, there was nowhere to buy it; magical items of this caliber are limited, there are only so many in total!
It was impossible for him not to want such a necklace, but it was too valuable, and after all, it was a loan from Princess Calia, so he had to return it.
" Nicholas, thank you for saving my father. This necklace is for you! Don't refuse. Compared to my father's life, a hundred Elemental Necklace are nothing!" Princess Calia looked at Jiang Jie and shook her head.
" Calia... I need to know now,"
What on earth happened?! Why did you arbitrarily dispatch the Order of the Silver Hand to attack nobles? Why did Hadred come to assassinate me? What... what happened?! With the crisis averted, Terenas finally regained his former majesty. However, his mental state was worse. The neck injury, coupled with the poison applied to it, although quickly healed, still caused hidden dangers to his body, draining his life force. After all, it was a deadly poison!
It's already quite remarkable that he could still manage to ask questions!
"Father, it's like this..." Princess Calia spoke softly, recounting everything, then whispered, "Father, I know I shouldn't have deployed the Order of the Silver Hand without authorization, but..."
"But you saved my life! And you saved all of Lordaeron!" Terenas interrupted her, stroking her golden hair with his hand, his eyes softening as he showed his merciful side. "You did the right thing, Calia. I was senile; I shouldn't have scolded you like that during the day. How is the situation in the city now?"
Princess Calia hurriedly said, "Father, all the members of the Cult of the Damned in the city defense forces have been imprisoned. The city defense forces have taken control of the city walls and gates, and a complete lockdown has been imposed. No one can enter or leave. As for the Order of the Silver Hand..."
Princess Kalia looked at Jiang Jie, who quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, High Paladin Fina, and the three High Paladins stationed in Lordaeron have already led their respective squads to capture nobles who have joined the Cult of the Damned. However, there are even more Cult members mixed in with the commoners. Lordaeron must be in chaos right now, and there will likely be many... casualties."
There's no way around it; it's impossible to check everyone in Lordaeron at once. After all, it's a city with a much larger population than Stormwind City, numbering in the hundreds of thousands!
" Fenna Golden Sword? She's Uther's favorite student, and... well, she's trustworthy. With her around, I feel at ease." Terenas nodded approvingly. " Calia said you came up with all the plans? Excellent, you're now a knight of the kingdom! As for the lady next to you, your name is Lilian, right? When it's all over, you'll receive your due reward!"
Kingdom Knight!
This is a very special title, unlike the hereditary titles of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. It is a one-time title that cannot be passed down to descendants. Moreover, the rank of this title varies. The highest is, for example, Uther the Lightbringer, who commands the entire Order of the Silver Hand, while Anduin Sir Lothar of Kingdom of Stormwind is the regent of that country!
But many ordinary knights only had a small fief, some with only a few dozen people in their territory, which was nothing, not even as good as the most ordinary baron.
However, at least in this way, Jiang Jie has entered the noble class and become a superior in Lordaeron! It will be much easier to deal with the nobles in the future!
