Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 3 .Father and Son

“His Royal Highness, welcome your return!”

Outside the city of Lordaeron, the court steward of King Terenas looked at the hooded Arthas with a proud and cordial look. The prince almost grew up under his care, so for the old For the messenger, Arthas was almost like his nephew.

Facing the enthusiastic old housekeeper, Arthas pulled out a faint smile on his stiff face. He did not speak, but just reached out and patted the old housekeeper on the shoulder. The old man seemed happier at this kind of affectionate behavior. It was a wrinkled face, and even a hint of abnormal flushing appeared.

“Come on, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King is waiting for you!”

Under the sign of the old butler, the city gate of Lordaeron at dawn burst open. Although it is not the normal time to wake up, there were still many citizens after the messenger delivered the news of Alsace’s return to the city last night. Get up early, stand on both sides of the road, and welcome His Royal Highness who has returned from afar.

It is said that His Royal Highness has brought back treasures that are sufficient to fight against the terrible plague. It is definitely just around the corner for the somewhat turbulent Lordaeron to return to its normal state.

“Oh! Your Royal Highness!”

“His Royal Highness Alsace!”

“Praise you, Your Highness!”

Arthas followed the old butler and led Farrek and Maween into the city of Lordaeron. The citizens along the way threw red petals with excitement. In Lordaeron’s etiquette, it was a symbol of victory. According to the custom, Arthas looked up at the petals flying all over the sky. He stretched out his hand and caught the red flower falling from before his eyes.

On the black hand armor, the red petals quickly withered, and in an instant, they turned into the most dry color. His Royal Highness rubbed gently with his hands, and the dry petals turned into broken leaves, falling on him and moving on. At the feet.

No one noticed this. The carnival citizens kept cheering for His Royal Highness, but they didn’t know what Arthas brought back.

No matter how long the road is, there is an end. Ten minutes later, Arthas stood at the gate of Lordaeron’s palace. The old butler left first. At this time, King Terenas was sitting in the front hall of the palace, waiting for himself. The son is also an audience with the future king of this country.

Arthas stepped on the luxurious red carpet, step by step up the steps of the palace, the bright light and the black cloak on his body formed a strong contrast, the cheers of the crowd also slowly fell silent, accompanied by His Royal Highness Step by step up the 24 steps of the palace, the light of the entire sky seemed to be absorbed by Alsace’s dark back.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the old housekeeper sat on the ground embarrassedly. His power was fading fast. What was fading together, and his vitality, there were no wounds on his body, but he could feel a terrible burst. The pulling force is tearing his soul.

Fear is like the palm of a shadow, crawling over his body and strangling his throat. The shadow of death laughed wildly and squeezed his remaining life out of his body. He opened his mouth wide, but couldn’t breathe. It’s like a fish being thrown to the shore, waving its arms hard, trying to catch the life-saving straw that does not exist.

A life is gone, but this… is just the beginning.

“Hum!”

The royal guard opened the door of the front hall. The sunlight and the lights of the front hall merged to brighten the dim light. Arthas strode into the front hall. The old King Terenas was sitting. On the magnificent throne, he held Lordaeron’s scepter in his hand, and his eyes were still bright, looking at his son.

He is so good, like himself when he was young, fearless, courageous, and would not compromise with fate.

But in the palace where the father and the son were supposed to meet, in addition to the loyal royal guards, there were two more people at this time.

Jaina held her short-handled staff in her hand and watched nervously at Arthas, who walked forward step by step. Unlike the loving King Terenas, Jaina was very nervous now, her palms were full of sweat. .

Half a month ago, Antonidas, who was outraged, was banned in Dalaran. She received a letter from Stratholme in which Dick expressed his worries about Alsace’s return. He hoped that Jaina Can persuade Antonidas to be protected by the most powerful archmage in the human world when Arthas returns.

But Antonidas decisively rejected Jaina’s proposal. The old mage believed that the mage should not be involved in the royal power. However, after Jaina’s repeated persuasion, the old mage finally sent out the youngest generation of Dalaran. The powerful mage Ronin accompanies Jaina to protect King Terenas.

Of course, what was said on the surface was that Dalaran and the royal family of Lordaeron were discussing the progress of the plague research, but it also happened that on the day Jaina and Ronin came to the palace, Arthas returned!

The spiritual power of the wizards is generally very strong. Jaina and Ronin are both outstanding, so when Arthas approached the throne, not only Jaina but also Ronin felt the prince’s body. Hidden, the energy fluctuations that made him a little frightened.

This level of energy fluctuations, Luo Ning swears, he only rescued the Red Dragon Queen imprisoned by the Dragonmaw Clan in the Second Orc War 10 years ago, when he accidentally ran into the fallen guardian of the earth, the Black Dragon. I saw it in Sarrio.

But what level of existence is Nesario?

What kind of existence is Alsace?

Both… how is it possible!

Seeing that Arthas had approached King Terenas, Ronin started to call the police frantically. He stood up, his figure flashed, the light of flashing technique shattered in place, and when he reappeared, he had already blocked Terena. Between King Si and Arthas.

Arthas didn’t speak, but raised his head. The eyes under the dark hood glanced at Ronin, which made the young archmage chill all over, while King Terenas carried a trace of anger.

“Get out, Master! Don’t disturb my meeting with my son!”

“But your majesty… he…”

“Get out!”

The old king did not want to listen to Ronin’s explanation. He even stood up from the throne with the support of the guards, pushed Ronin away with his skinny hands, step by step, and walked towards Alsace who was standing still. He opened his hands and hugged his cold body.

“My child, I am finally relieved to see you safe and sound.”

“Father, I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound.”

This was the first time Arthas spoke. At this moment when his voice sounded, Ronin and Jaina moved at the same time. This was not a sound that a living person would make at all, it was just like the thunder of the sky, just When the sound sounded, the energy in the surrounding space began to fluctuate violently.

“Danger! Your Majesty!”

“Evil! Get out!”

Ronin and Jaina appeared next to the two embracing people, Ronin was in charge of the attack, and Jaina was in charge of protection, but the magical light in the hands of the two had just appeared, and they were blocked by two stern sword lights.

Farek and Maween, the right arm of His Royal Highness.

“My child…you…what’s wrong with you?”

King Terenas also felt something wrong at this time, because from his son’s arm, he couldn’t feel a trace of warmth, all he could feel was the deep cold.

Arthas looked at his father, his thin and pale face appeared in the air for the first time.

“Father, I have come to inherit your throne!”

“Huh”

Behind Arthas, Frostmourne wrapped in a dimly wrapped cloth crossed the neck of the old king. On the black and blue sword, seven different inscriptions gradually lit up, and the old soul was never held by Arthas. Appeared on the corpse in the body, and then was sucked into the shiny sword body.

“Father, your rule has reached the end… and I will be crowned king!”

In a very “gentle” tone, Arthas picked up the gradually frozen corpse in his arms, and stepped onto the throne step by step. He ignored the battle that was taking place in the palace at all. King Terenas placed on the throne again, stretched out his hand, and a large piece of ice sealed the corpse with the expression of horror and astonishment on the throne together with the throne.

Finally, he picked up the heavy crown that fell on the ground and looked in front of him. Finally, he smiled disdainfully, and with his left hand, the hard crown slowly turned into a subway scum in his hand, just like in time. It has been decayed for hundreds of years.

“Come on, my warriors! Fight for your master!”

Arthas lifted Frostmourne aloft, then knelt on the ground abruptly, his sharp blade also pierced into the ground, accompanied by dark magic power through the ground, the entire palace began to shake, Jaina and Luo Ning faced the unprecedented combination of martial skills and dark power, such as Farek and Maween, and was suppressed in a palace that was not too empty for a while.

But the sudden earthquake and the cracks in the ground, as well as the giant creatures like spiders and beetles tumbling up from the ground, the violent shadow energy almost shredded everything in this palace.

Jaina remembered Dick’s arrangement at the end of the letter. She waved out a spinning ice storm, forced Farrek back, reached out and re-arranged herself with a layer of ice armor, and shouted to the other side,

“Ronin! Evacuate!”

Ronin was also a ruthless character. Seeing his side fell into the wind, he held the staff in both hands, and the magic power of his whole body gathered together, like waving a battle axe, and slammed it down in the direction of Arthas. .

The next moment, in the sky outside the palace, a group of dark fissures was pulled apart, and then, a howling, fire-wrapped meteorite fell from the sky and smashed down toward the chaotic palace.

“Huh! Huh!”

The light of two flashes disappeared in the palace. At the moment when the panting Ronin and the dignified Jaina appeared outside the palace, the meteorite also hit the top of the palace, which gathered the attack of the power of the archmage. How horrible, this blow almost razed the majestic palace to the ground.

But no one will pay attention to these anymore.

The whole city is being slaughtered! Some people even lit a corner of the city, and billowing black smoke rose from the corner, with dying wailing and screaming, reflecting the original majestic city like hell.

The soldiers brought back by Arthas removed their camouflage. Thousands of undead fires appeared in the streets and alleys of Lordaeron, as well as those crypt demons who had torn the ground and drilled up from the ground. They Crazy massacre!

This time, it is no longer Stratholme’s massacre for justice, but an evil feast!

A little girl who ran out of the house with tears and crying panicked and wanted to escape the chase behind her. It was an undead soldier in Lordaeron uniform, and raised her hand expressionlessly. His long sword was about to pierce the little girl’s body, and the little girl was already frightened.

“Go away!”

“boom!”

A ball of fire hit the undead’s chest and flew it into the air. When it landed, only a dilapidated body was left.

Luo Ning stretched out his hand toward the little girl, and the little girl wowed and threw herself into Luo Ning’s arms. The little hand firmly grasped Luo Ning’s robe, and she was frightened.

Jaina couldn’t bear to look at the abattoir behind her again. Although she wanted to disperse the evil very much, she and Ronin could not save the city at all by relying on her and Ronin.

At this time, the eldest lady remembered how Dick felt when he rushed into Stratholme alone. She opened her eyes. This time, only perseverance was left in her eyes.

“Go! Ronin, let’s go to the palace!”

“Where are you going? Alsace is still there!”

“Go save someone who can rebuild Lordaeron!”
