Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 253 1. Anduin's Bad Journey

The Kingdom of Stormwind has been quite turbulent recently. First of all, the Seventh Legion guarding the Burning Plains was transferred to the bugman battlefield in Silithus. This caused omissions in the already tight defense line of Lakeside Town. This is actually not a big deal in itself. , after all, five months ago, most of the creatures in the Burning Plain were completely wiped out by the outbreak of insect plague.

But on the third day after this defensive omission appeared, a group of cultists blatantly attacked Lakeside Town. Lakeside Town, located by Zhishui Lake, is a relatively barren Red Ridge Mountain Row compared with other provinces. The largest human gathering point in the province, since the old tribal era, it has been at the forefront of confrontation with orcs. Even after the victory of the Human Alliance, it is still protected from the attacks of the Blackstone orcs entrenched in the Blackstone Mountain, almost every year. There was an invasion or two.

In such a harsh environment, the militiamen who came out here are even more capable of fighting than the real army in other places. They can win or lose against the Blackstone orcs just by relying on simple weapons. .

This group of Twilight cultists are also unlucky. They brought a piece of insect nest crystal from a secret place, intending to imitate the battle in the Burning Plains five months ago, flooding Lakeside Town with a sea of ​​insects, and proclaiming the chaos of all things coming.

But when they released the hive crystal, just when C'Thun and the twin emperors died, the spiritual connection of Qiraji worms was broken immediately, and the brain worms in the hive crystal went crazy , the workers who controlled the runaway killed all the cultists, and then fled into the vast and rolling mountains of Red Ridge Mountains.

Although there were no casualties, Solomon, the veteran mayor of Lakeside Town, realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately invited the Legion of the Burning Plains and secret agents from SI:7 to hunt down these increasingly rampant heretics in Lakeside Town.

Unexpectedly, this investigation really found the problem!

That night, in desperation, the cultists who had been hunted down to a desperate situation set fire to their shelter, which set fire to a small half of Lakeside Town, killing more than 40 civilians. This vicious incident spread throughout the entire Stormwind Kingdom within a week. People who felt that no one around them could be trusted flocked to Stormwind City and North County Abbey. This sudden incident directly caused the government of Stormwind City, which had just resumed operation, to be almost paralyzed.

Moreover, there are news of cultists coming from all over the place. Faced with such overwhelming bad news, the white-haired King Varian can't think of a good way. This good old man can only repeatedly ask his generals and senior officials , must ensure the safety of the public.

But even if SI:7 is running at full capacity, it is still unable to find out the stronghold of these cultists who suddenly intensified in the Kingdom of Stormwind. In the absence of Shaw, Goblin Razor can only use the most old-fashioned method. They sprinkled all over the country to cooperate with the militia to wipe out the cultists.

But when the country is in turmoil, it is necessary for a high-ranking figure to stand up to appease the people. The current King Varian cannot take on this important task. Archbishop Benedictus was originally the most suitable person, but because he just returned from the Quicksand After returning to Stormwind City from the battlefield of the war, he was seriously ill. In the end, the regent Bolvar had no choice but to bring back the little prince Anduin from Theramore.

Anduin is the direct bloodline of the royal family of the Stormwind Kingdom, the future King of Destiny of the Stormwind Kingdom, and he will take the royal guards to patrol the various places, and the effect will even be better than Varian personally dispatching.

So under such circumstances, Anduin, who hurried back to Stormwind City from Theramore, embarked on his own journey to tour the country. This is already the fifth day, and they are about to leave Elwynn Forest for Westfall .

"Lex, do you think Dr. Harrison will blame me?"

Anduin was sitting in a not-so-luxury but solemn carriage, usually wiping the blade of the dagger at his waist with a sword cloth, while turning his head to ask the druid Electrolux Claw sitting beside him.

The young druid and the little prince hit it off unexpectedly, and the Cenarion Council wanted to set up an ambassador in Stormwind, so Lex took on this responsibility as his duty. He knew that Dawn Knight originally planned to arrange a senior watchman to protect Anduin, but due to the special status of the little prince and the delicate situation in the Kingdom of Stormwind, this plan came to nothing in the end.

Facing the little prince's question, Lex shook his head. His green pupils looked out the window of the carriage ahead. Lex enjoyed the lush environment of Elwynn Forest. This exotic style is very important to Druids. Also a great experience.

"That Mr. Harrison, under his rigid face, hides a very young heart. I can smell the doctor's desire to pursue freedom, so he walked out of the big library reluctantly, but In fact, it can be seen from his jumping footsteps that this Mr. Doctor is probably tired of working in the library."

Lex explained to Anduin what he saw in detail. For a druid who is good at observing, these are completely the truth that can be seen at a glance, but for a child of Anduin's age, Still a little more complicated.

Fortunately, however, the little prince learned quickly.

"That said, Dr. Harrison also wishes to go out and continue his adventures"

Anduin put his long and short sword back into the scabbard, and took a stack of materials from SI:7 from the table in front of him, his face under the golden hair was full of surprise and excitement, "I heard the instructor Dr. Harrison's past is very complicated, so I asked the spies to help me collect some information about him. God, I didn't even know that my old-fashioned history teacher was actually quite a young man when he was young. As a well-known adventurer, he even got the honorary membership of the Dwarven Explorers' Association."

"I heard that he even challenged an entire tribe of ogres by himself, and succeeded in the end, which is unbelievable."

Anduin waved the information in his hand, and said to the druid, "Crouching tigers, hidden dragons are always in the royal family of Stormwind. I remember my father told me this. I always thought it was a joke. Now it seems , Father didn't tell a joke."

"That's when"

"boom!"

Before Lex could finish his words, the royal carriage they were riding in flipped into the air. In the air waves propelled by the gunpowder, it seemed to be pushed from the ground by an invisible hand, and the four horses of the same suit pulled the carriage. The war horse was blown to pieces the moment the explosion appeared, and flesh and blood covered the remote path in Elwynn Forest in an instant.

The accompanying royal knights immediately drew their weapons, shouted and quickly formed a defensive formation, and several officers ran to the carriage thrown to the side of the road.

This not-so-luxury car was made by magic craftsmen in Dalaran. This kind of explosion cannot destroy its structure, but the safety of His Royal Highness is above all else!

So the captain of the royal guard took out the firework for help, and just after lighting it, the red firework flew to a distance of more than ten meters, and was cut into four pieces by a shadow that sprang out from the forest, and the shadow fell to the ground flickeringly, and then He whistled.

The next moment, more black shadows appeared from the hidden forest, fighting with the royal knights.

They wore black leather armor and covered their faces with black cloth strips. They fought fiercely with daggers or short swords without saying a word, obviously they were used to this kind of thing.

In the overturned carriage, green thorns and vines filled the entire space. Lex is considered a new star of the Cenarion Council. At the critical moment, he used the most direct method to protect Anduin very well. The little prince just because The carriage was shaken and a little dizzy, but did not suffer any injuries.

The sound of fighting outside the carriage and the smell of blood made Lex's face extremely cold. He retracted the vines, and then kicked open the closed door of the carriage. Strangled in mid-air, the angry druid showed no mercy in this situation. He turned into a black nightsaber and disappeared in place. In less than half a minute, all five assassins who were besieging the carriage were taken away. Stabbed from behind with poisonous claws.

"Anduin, come with me, we are going to break through!"

Lex, who still had blood on his hands, stretched out his hand to the little prince who was holding the long and short sword tightly. The latter grabbed his hand and said quickly,

"To the northeast, there is a fortress, Xiquan Fortress, and the soldiers stationed there are trustworthy!"

Lex hugged the little prince's body with both hands, and rushed two steps forward quickly. His whole body was covered in the green mist, and he transformed into a storm crow, grabbing Anduin's body and flying into the sky.

However, the moment he flew into the air, a slender and almost transparent figure appeared behind him. It was a petite female orc with a touch of wildness, and the two simple and hideous daggers in her hands were on the side of the Storm Crow. It flicked across the wings, and then disappeared in mid-air.

Lex uttered a cry of pain, he could no longer maintain the form of the Storm Crow, and after turning into a human form, he hugged Anduin in his arms and fell obliquely to the ground, finally hitting a big On the trunk of the tree, the little prince let out a cry of pain. When he landed, his leg was still injured.

"Go! Go!"

The 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, don't go to West Spring Fortress! There are spies in Stormwind City, find a way to get back to Sera Mo go!"

Seeing the miserable druid, Anduin gritted his teeth, leaned on his body with the sheathed long sword in his hand, and limped into the forest. A few seconds later, Lex stood leaning against the tree trunk. Standing up, he inserted the staff in his hand into the ground, and thorns and thorns spread out in the forest, and soon entangled Anduin's path.

"I said, I let you live, shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

A hoarse voice sounded behind the Druid, and it was filled with a strange impatience, "It's tiresome enough dealing with these cult lunatics, so if I were you, I would obediently let go of the road, you and What's the relationship with that cutie? Is it worth your life for him?"

Lex didn't answer, he knew very well that the guy behind him was at least a hero, and he didn't need his answer, it was just a trick of playing with a mouse.

On the other side, Anduin struggled through the trees in the Elwynn Forest. The injury on his leg was not serious, but the continuous bleeding had already made him feel a little numb. The little prince could only run while using the Holy Light Healing his leg injury, thanks to An Weena taught him the flash of holy light, otherwise he would not be able to survive now.

Although Anduin was a little panicked before, he has completely calmed down now. Lex is right. His whereabouts are top secret. There must be a problem inside Stormwind City. The city is no longer safe, but he is alone Can't go back to Theramore either, he has to go somewhere else!

Karazhan!

There, he can contact the mentor and everyone in Theramore, and he knows that after his good friend Madian took control of Karazhan, he set up a contact point in Nightshade Town, so he only needs to go through Irwynn Forest, cross the Lelinya River, and then find a way to go to Night Town, and you will be completely safe.

But to be honest, Anduin didn't know if he could succeed, hope was too slim.

Ten minutes later, at the moment Anduin finally passed through the forest and reached the riverside, a chain sprang out from the darkness behind him, tying up the running little prince like a poisonous snake. Duin lost his balance and fell to the river bank in embarrassment.

Then he saw the face he had known for a long time.

"Oh, Anduin, cutie, from the look in your eyes, I know that you know me, right?"

"Garona! You bastard who assassinated my grandfather!"

Facing the little prince who was furious like a little lion, the female orc assassin shrugged her shoulders, "You can scold me whatever you want, cutie, but you'd better restrain yourself, the tempers of the next guys are not as good as mine. "

After speaking, Garona mentioned Anduin and was about to leave, but at this moment, a little girl's voice came into the ears of the two of them.

"Look! Uncle Chen, that kid has been taken away!"
