Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 258 Light Messenger

In Lordaeron, Rude led the sky knights to hunt down undead in the city.

The battle at the Alterac Pass ended a few hours ago, and the crew, who were armed to the teeth, did not even suffer any injuries. Without the command of the Lich King, the undead were unlikely to form any fighting force.

After dealing with all the undead, Jack asked Muradin to take the dwarves to protect Princess Calia in the refuge. Then he recruited a group of soldiers from the refugees and unexpectedly found Lieutenant Thornby among them. He was one of the few officers among the refugees. So Jack made Thornby the captain of the army and led them to fight.

The Black Pearl flew directly to Lordaeron's armory, seized it directly, and equipped the refugee soldiers with the armor and weapons inside.

Jack asks Thornby to clean up the palace in preparation for welcoming Princess Calia.

The undead in the city were chasing the undead, but after Arthas's death, they suddenly lost their command and their combat effectiveness became weaker. The soldiers in the city had the opportunity to organize an attack and successfully resisted the undead's attack.

The Sky Knight put out fires everywhere and helped the soldiers kill the undead.

After clearing out all the undead, Rude ordered the soldiers to guard the city gates and important roads.

As day broke, an army appeared at the gates of Lordaeron.

"Who is coming?"

The soldier guarding the city asked hurriedly.

"it's me!"

A paladin walked to the door and revealed the holy light on his body. The dazzling light allowed the soldiers on the city to see his face clearly.

"It's the Radiant Messenger!"

"Lord Uther is back!"

"Open the city gate quickly!"

The soldiers opened the city gate and welcomed Uther and others into the city.

After Uther entered the city, he was immediately shocked by the tragic scene inside.

"In the end what happened?"

The soldier said quickly: "King Arthas... Arthas brought the undead into the city. He killed the king and massacred the people of Lordaeron..."

Uther could not hide his anger, "How dare he!!!"

The soldier shook his head, he didn't know why.

"Lord Uther, Captain Jack Sparrow is in the palace now, maybe he knows why."

"Jack Sparrow?" Uther frowned. "Why is he in the palace?"

The soldier said, "Captain Jack helped us clean up the undead in the city. He also recaptured the palace and said he wanted to welcome Princess Calia back to rule."

Uther was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are there still undead in the city?"

"We have wiped out all the undead in the open!" said the soldier, "but there are still many undead hiding in the dark corners. We are trying our best to hunt them down."

Uther looked at his adjutant and said, "Gavinrad, you lead the team to hunt down those undead. Make sure to destroy them all."

Gavinrad Doom nodded and immediately led the Knights of the Silver Hand to join the search. These paladins could go deep into places that ordinary soldiers dared not enter, and they could calmly deal with ambushes from the undead. The rogue nature of the Holy Light made the paladins show their power at this moment.

Uther led his guards to the palace and saw a huge ship in the palace garden from a distance. "Is this... the Black Pearl?"

Uther recognized the flag on the ship, which only surprised him even more.

When Jack learned that Uther had returned, he immediately went to greet him.

"Lord Uther, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

Uther looked Jack up and down. Although this legendary pirate was unruly, he was very particular about etiquette and was an alternative. Fortunately, Jack didn't look annoying, so Uther didn't dislike him.

"Captain Jack Sparrow?"

"It's down!"

"What's going on now?"

Jack extended his hand and invited Uther to enter the palace. As they walked in, he said, "The undead in Lordaeron have been basically eliminated. There are still a few left who can only hide in dark corners such as sewers. They are of no significance to the overall situation. I have sent someone to pick up Princess Calia. As long as the princess is here, the Kingdom of Lordaeron will still exist. As for the nobles and soldiers in the city, further statistics are needed."

Uther looked at Jack in surprise. He didn't expect that this pirate had protected Princess Calia. Now the King of Lordaeron urgently needed a member of the Menethil family to take charge of the situation.

Whether this member is a man or a woman, they are the hope for the people of Lordaeron to continue fighting. If no member of the Menethil family stands up, the Kingdom of Lordaeron will soon fall apart.

Jack continued, "Lord Uther, the focus of the next battle should be outside the city. Although I have dealt with the undead in the Alterac Mountains, there are still undead wreaking havoc in other places. If these undead are not dealt with, I am afraid that the undead will soon gather their army again."

Uther nodded and said, "I will inform the lords of all places to clear out the undead."

Jack: "Then I'm relieved. After Princess Jialiya returns, we will need to select a few qualified officials to help her handle government affairs."

Uther: "I will!"

Not long after, Vereesa rode on Trilliax and returned to Lordaeron with Princess Calia and Muradin.

Uther immediately summoned the nobles and generals in the city to hold a coronation ceremony for Princess Calia. At the same time, he also announced a funeral for King Terenas.

When Princess Calia saw Terenas' body, she was so sad that she burst into tears.

Jack arranged for Rude to be Princess Jialiya's guard to protect her safety. The air knights led by Rude acted quickly and could evacuate Princess Jialiya quickly if there was any danger.

After seeing the power of the amphibious Centaur construct mount, Uther agreed to Jack's arrangement.

Then Jack drove the Black Pearl away from Lordaeron and went into the wild to help clear out the undead.

Although Arthas was killed, he still had a group of death knights under his command that he had not dealt with. These guys were the main force of the resurrected corpses. If they could not be dealt with, waves of undead armies would soon appear in Lordaeron.

Moreover, Jack was not a noble of Lordaeron. If he stayed in Lordaeron for too long, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people.

Jack was not good at political struggles, so after Lordaeron stabilized, he immediately chose to retire.

In this way, the nobles of Lordaeron will not only not be afraid of Jack, but will be very grateful to Jack.

After all, who wouldn't like this kind of sucker who just leaves after helping?
Many Lordaeron nobles pretended to want to keep Jack, but were all declined by Jack.

Before leaving, Jack took away the magic materials accumulated in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. This was Princess Calia's thank you gift to Jack, and she also hoped that Jack could make more amphibious centaur construct mounts, so that he could help more people in Lordaeron.
