Menethil's Power

Chapter 115 Fiddstone Camp

The Crowley family was very efficient. The Lordaeron envoys rested in a nearby village for two days. The number one family in Gilneas assembled nearly 500 people, including two heroes.

Its power and goodwill are very obvious. The relationship between the Crowley family and their lord has not been very good. There are rumors that Darius looks down on Genn Greymane, not to mention that they are only in Gilneas. There are also a group of enemies headed by Lord Godfrey, so it is reasonable to find friends abroad.

And the tacit friendship between the Crowley family and Lordaeron seems to have been maintained for quite some time.

"You are guests, as long as you are in the Crowley family territory for one day, we will guarantee your safety." Rona announced very domineeringly.

This girl who was about the same age as Isaacs was quite precocious just like him, and when not talking about politics and family affairs, Lorna gradually showed the romance and innocence that a girl of this age should have, and she quickly won Alsace And Jaina's goodwill, in order to make them happy, even took them hunting and fishing himself.However, both His Royal Highnesses lacked interest, so it was Lorna herself who had the most fun, as if the Crowley family's troop mobilization in the past two days was not arranged by her alone.

What the rose uses to cover her thorns is always beauty and fragrance.

Alsace and Jaina have been sullen and full of worries for the past two days. Isaacs is not too worried about Alsace. After all, the little prince is already over 12 years old, and it is not the first time he has faced a battle. Such an experience It will be the nourishment for his growth.

But Jaina, the scene of purgatory caused by the rain of hellfire seemed to be her nightmare. The girl who loved to laugh was gone.

Isaacs sighed, "You think those soldiers died tragically because of you, don't you?" He asked softly.

Jaina nodded, and her eyes began to mist. The purpose of this trip was to send her to Dalaran. The kind-hearted little girl naturally blamed herself for all the tragedies.

Isaacs had a headache, Onyxia's target was obviously himself and Alsace, and Jaina was caught in the water, but it seemed inappropriate to say such words to a girl in her teens.

"You have to understand, Jaina, our origins determine the great meaning of our lives, and this meaning is the reason why other lives will be sacrificed for you." Isaacs struggled with his words, and it was really annoying to preach.

"But it also means that we have to shoulder more responsibilities." Isaacs looked at Jaina's serious eyes, and suddenly felt that his words might be remembered by the little girl forever, "We have many enemies, and these enemies will Do us so many times in the future, so remember, Jaina, never cry out over the ruthlessness of your enemies, it will only fuel their arrogance and increase your fear."

"Then what should I do?" Jaina asked timidly.

Isaacs bent down and grabbed Jaina's thin shoulders with both hands, and a trace of warm holy light energy was transmitted from his hands to Jaina's body, giving her confidence and strength. "Take responsibility, remember this hatred, and turn it into motivation, and constantly strengthen yourself so that the next tragedy will not be powerless to stop. Think about Jaina, if you are a heroic mage now, So what?"

Of course, Jaina knows the rank division of supernatural beings, and a hero-level mage is enough to stand alone, and even counter the fire rain directly under the condition of sufficient preparation.

Instead of being complacent about successfully releasing a Frostbolt.

"You will arrive in Dalaran soon, and Archmage Antonidas will personally serve as your mentor, which means you will have the best learning conditions, so work hard, little girl, only when you hold your staff high and lead Only when the entire alliance is completed, these lost heroic souls will be truly rested." Isaacs said earnestly.

It seems good to turn this tragedy into a motivation for Jaina.

This preaching seemed to be successful. Jaina swept away the previous depression, and the little girl's eyes began to burn with fighting spirit, and she tightly clenched her little pink fist, "I will work hard." She said firmly.

Two days later, after Reinhardt and Valeera passed through the weak period of recovering from serious injuries, the Lordaeron envoys, with only about 20 people left, set off again under the guard of the Crowley family, and once again entered the vast expanse. In the Silverpine Forest.

This time the journey was very peaceful, without encountering any danger, they arrived at the border area of ​​the Silver Pine Forest safely all the way, and as far as the eye could see, there were rolling hills ahead.

Hillsbrad, finally here.

This also means the end of the escort mission of the Crowley family. This is no longer the territory of the Crowley family. If the escort team enters by force, it will be considered an act of invasion. Of course the Crowley family will not stay. Under such an obvious handle.

Nearly one-third of the Hillsbrad Hills is the territory of Dalaran, the city of mages, and the rest is subordinate to Lordaeron and Alterac in name, but is actually also planted with the "L" flag. .

Therefore, it is of little significance for Crowley to continue to escort.Ahead is the Fiddstone camp, where Isaacs can recruit enough troops as guards.

"Actually, I want to go to Dalaran with you. I haven't seen the legendary city of mages." Rona smiled at Isaacs. After hugging Jaina and Partress, she said Jumping onto her mount in a graceful posture, this dashing female knight took off her tie-brimmed top hat to bid farewell, and the polite roses fluttered in the wind.

"But I'm really too busy." Lorna also seemed a little helpless, "So I can only let it go."

Isaacs nodded, and there was no need to say meaningless words to hold back at this time. He returned a knight salute, "Thank you again for the Crowley family's help. There will be a later date."

Rona nodded, and the guards of the Crowley family turned to leave. Rona, who was at the end of the line, suddenly turned around, and an indescribable light appeared in her eyes.

"Excuse me, does His Highness Isaacs have a marriage contract?" Lorna asked, and this normally generous girl showed a rare shyness.

Isaacs, who was watching off with a top hat, never expected that Lorna would ask such a direct question. The young prince almost choked, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Princess Crowley's question was too sudden and direct. Alsace's gaze at his brother suddenly became weird, and Jaina covered her little mouth in surprise. The little girl has seen There are many tear-jerking love novels, which instantly filled the minds of Isaacs and Rona with countless romantic plots.

As for Partress, the little priest kept a quiet smile, but Isaacs clearly felt a biting chill coming from behind, and he couldn't help swallowing, realizing that the critical time to test himself had come.

Once the answer is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

In fact, it is not surprising that Rona asked this question. As the future Duchess of Crowley, free love is an absolute luxury for Rona, and her marriage must be political.And Rhona was already 16 years old, and Duke Darius had obviously raised this issue with her.

However, there are only a handful of people on this continent who are eligible to marry the Crowley family. Among the crooked dudes, the young and promising Isaacs looks quite eye-catching.

Girls always hope to have a perfect love and marriage. Rona naturally wants to control her love. Of course, this girl with strong self-consciousness will not fall in love with Isaacs at first sight, but because the range of options is really limited, Rona can only make a choice. Such a helpless choice,

Isaacs could understand, but he never expected that Lorna would be so straightforward. The girl on the horse had reddish cheeks and lowered her head, looking extraordinarily charming.

For a moment, Isaacs was moved. Alsace's partner would be Princess Jaina of Kul Tiras. As the great prince of Lordaeron, if he wanted to consider a political marriage, whether it was from Lordaeron or From his personal point of view, Lorna is the best choice.

Whether it's appearance, character, ability, or status, this Gilnean girl is impeccable.

However, the increasingly powerful icy breath behind him made Isaacs' thoughts return to reality immediately, and he immediately made the most rational decision, showing that he didn't understand Laura's deep meaning at all, "This is already a Lordaeron secret, Miss Laura , sorry I have no comment," he said in a joking tone.

Of course, this simple sentence can't save his situation. Isaacs held Paltrace's little hand behind him without changing his expression. The girl struggled a bit unexpectedly, but Isaacs grabbed it very tightly, and even hugged her with his backhand. Hold her slender waist.

Partress blushed immediately, knowing that Arthas and Jaina were watching, the cold posture that the little priest tried to maintain instantly collapsed.

Luo Na didn't say anything, turned the horse's head and left.When the figure of the Gilnean girl disappeared into the forest, Isaacs quickly pecked Paltress on the earlobe, and before the girl could react, he laughed and let her go.

"Okay, let's continue on our way. There is still a long way to Fiddlestone." He told everyone that he didn't give the little priest a chance to speak.

Paltress, who was completely congested from her cheeks to her earlobes, could only stamp her feet in embarrassment, there was nothing she could do about this shameless person.

Alsace, who witnessed the posture of the little children of Paltress, looked more and more weirdly. He looked at the direction where Lorna was going away, and then at the elf female thief who had never said a word. Others may not have noticed it, but Alsace could clearly see that when Isaacs answered Lorna's question, Valeera's hand rested on the dagger handle several times.

The little prince's respect for his elder brother was like a torrential river, and his elder brother is really a model of a winner in life.

In the few years after the end of the Second Orc War, with the increasing number of orc captives, how to resettle them became an imminent issue. After an agreement between all parties, Hillsbrad became the most important resettlement area.

It is large enough that more than a dozen large and small camps can be set up in the entire area; it is rich enough to provide food for an additional 10,000+ orcs; and it is safe enough, except for Dalaran, which has strong protection. , Hillsbrad is quite far away from the capitals of all countries.

Before the establishment of many strict shelters headed by Dunholde, the camps with chaotic management and poor facilities were the main places for concentrating captives. Fiddlestone was one of the many camps. It was Hillsborough The largest internment camp in the west of Ryder and the station of the Union army, there are three regiments stationed here, guarding nearly [-] orcs, including many old and weak women and children.

The first thing Isaacs did on his arrival at Fiddlestone was to summon all the senior officers.

The military officers warmly welcomed the arrival of the crown prince, but after learning that His Royal Highness was attacked by orcs, they all fell silent.

Fiddlestone, as the fortress guarding the intersection of Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad, let hundreds of orcs pass through the blockade under their noses, and attacked the members of the royal family. to blame.

Isaacs looked coldly at Anlor, the person in charge of the Fiddlestone camp. This is a middle-aged man with a good face, the rank of colonel, and the title of viscount.

"I need an explanation." The young prince said emphatically. The only one who could let go of a whole wolf cavalry was the supreme commander of Fiddlestone, so he didn't need any evidence to convict him.

Endless anger surged in Isaacs' chest, and he felt that this damned Viscount should be glad that the highest punishment in Lordaeron is only the death penalty, and his family will not be implicated.

Viscount Anlor's face turned pale, and he could hardly stand upright, "My brother-in-law is the tax collector in Stratholme, and he has a shortfall of hundreds of thousands of gold coins..."

"Good reason." Isaacs nodded. Of course, a tax official cannot embezzle so much. He is obviously the unlucky one who was kicked out of the top tank by some noble group, and his brother-in-law was involved.The young prince suddenly took a step forward, and the majestic aura made the viscount's body stiffen instantly, "But this is your reason for treason?"

Viscount Anlor remained silent and did not answer.

Forget it, there is no need to raise a pawn. Isaacs took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "In view of your military exploits, I will give you a chance to retain your dignity." He left the hall with these words behind him. .

"Thank you for your kindness." Anlor bowed to Isaacs' back, then he stood up straight and began to salute all his colleagues in the hall.

No one spoke, and the eyes of the officers were extremely complicated. After An Luoer finished his salute, he walked out of the meeting hall with heavy steps and returned to his residence.

He sat quietly at the desk for a long time, and finally opened the drawer. Inside was a written suicide note and a delicate short-handled musket.

Since World War II, this kind of dwarven long-range weapon that performed well but did not require much technology quickly became popular in the alliance army, and soon gained a group of supporters, and Viscount Anlor was one of them.

The veteran who had gone through the entire World War II couldn't help showing a wry smile. His fame for a lifetime was ruined in one fell swoop.

Two minutes later, a gunshot broke Fiddlestone's silence.
