Waiting is always the hardest, but the waiting time is also passed in the blink of an eye.

On the afternoon of Varian's arrival at the port of White Tower and his departure for New Lordaeron, other kings also came to the capital of Lordaeron one after another, and for a while, the heads and faces of the entire human empire appeared in New Lordaeron, making this inland city built on barren land immediately lively.

Even the Draenei and Copperbeard Dwarves who were far away on the Northrend continent sent envoys, and the goblin merchants who slammed the door were also rare in generosity, and the Hot Sand Consortium formed a mission with extremely high standards, with the alchemist and great merchant Northford as the leader, with expensive gifts and some commercial products, they traveled mightily through the Glittering Plains to the Thousand Needles Stone Forest.

During the Silysus War, which ended a year ago, Arthas and the leaders of the other races were also familiar with each other, so the day before the wedding, the Blightless, the Horde, the Night Elves, and even the Boar People sent in to watch the ceremony.

Of course, the Night Elves' envoys came in the personal name of General Santis, who was stationed in the Fortress of Feathermoon, and the Boar People were represented by the first demigod priest of their rebuilt civilization, and the demigod Agamagan, who is said to be recovering from his wounds, has given a precious gift as a tribute to Arthas's heroism in the Battle of the Quicksands.

And the identity of the last guest who arrived at Baita Port was extremely special, and even directly alarmed His Majesty the Pope of Baita Port.

It was a female paladin who had traveled all the way from the Stratholme district of northern Xinjiang, and her name was Bridget. Abydis, the leader of the Holy Light Order of the Scarlet Crusade who currently occupies the Stratholme region, was the former deputy head of the Lordaeron Knights, and the only daughter of the Grand Knight General Abidis, who came on behalf of the entire Scarlet Crusaders.

For those martyrs of the Holy Light who are still sticking to the battlefield in the north and defending the last piece of the empire alone, even the harshest nobles dare not slander them in public, and their loyalty to the Holy Light and the empire is spread in the Holy Light Church, like a sacred story prophesied by the gods, and although in the years since the empire was rebuilt, the high-level of the empire and the crusaders in the north have not broken off contact, but this is the first time that an envoy has been sent to come.

Thirty minutes after the landing, Miss Abidis was personally received by His Holiness the Pope, and then she met with the other kings on behalf of the Scarlet Crusade, and what they discussed was unknown to anyone, but judging by the solemn expressions of the kings, it must have been a very important matter.

And the next morning, the entire city of New Lordaeron was carefully organized by the servants of the royal family, like a glittering coin, the city's main roads were covered with erected streamers and blue ribbons, and a giant red carpet woven by the centaur slaves themselves ran through the city's crossroads.

The king's guards, dressed in ceremonial armor, lined up in groups of five at each alley as a gap between the commoners and the ceremony, while some young men came out of their homes before dawn, dressed in their best clothes, and stood in the viewing area behind the guards, waiting for the wedding of His Majesty Alsace and Princess Gianna to begin.

In this era, especially under the imperial system, there are too few entertainment items for the people, and such a grand wedding can just satisfy the people's yearning for entertainment and relaxation, of course, there are some unwilling lonely guys in these bustling crowds who want to make a "big news", but the agents of the Assassin League mixed in the crowd will drag them out of the crowd before they can do it.

And over the city, the goblin profiteers specially prepared for the guests of the three airships have been lifted into the air, on the airships are full of dignitaries, on this memorable day, the goblin airship equipped with the magic video recorder tickets have long been sold out, the original price is 500 gold coins, and under the hype of the goblin scalper, such a ticket even sold for a maximum of 2000 gold coins.

Just three slightly modified airships have made the Hot Sand Consortium a profit of almost 50,000 gold coins, and these little green-skinned men have once again played their amazing sense of trade and profits.

"Such a ritual... It's too extravagant. ”

Sitting in the front row of the grand viewing platform prepared for the aristocracy, Brigitte, dressed in a modest military uniform. Miss Abydis frowned, looking at everything that was laid out on the great platform of the city square, and she could not help complaining to the great knight Uther beside her:

"The cost of this ritual is at least enough for the four Crusader Orders to carry out a joint operation that lasts for two months, and we have nothing over there except those damned undead."

Miss Abydis shook her head, and Uther, who sat beside her, patted Abidis on the shoulder with a gesture of kindness toward her daughter, and the great knight had been exhausted when he arrived at Kalimdor, and now looked as if he had aged a decade, and his hair was all gray.

The Grand Knight closed his eyes slightly, sighed, and said to Miss Abydis:

"There are many difficulties in the reconstruction of the empire, Abydis, you are a good soldier, and you will become a good commander in the future, but you must understand that the most important thing in any war is the fighting spirit and courage in the hearts of the people, no matter how great the difficulties, as long as the people and us work together, we will definitely be able to get through the difficulties, although this wedding ceremony costs a lot, but the blood relatives of the two countries can bring great confidence to the people... That's what we need most in this predicament. ”

As he spoke, Uther looked at Miss Abydis, who was thoughtful, and he smiled and said to Abydis:

"Tell me about the weird undead... I heard you say yesterday that they also sent you emissaries expressing their desire for peaceful coexistence? That doesn't sound like the work of the Grimblade Undead or the Scourge Undead. ”

"Yes, Uncle Uther."

Miss Abidis sat in a chair in a soldier's standard seat, with her hands on her knees, and explained to Uther:

"We've been observing the weird undead for years, and it's certain that they don't seem to have much to do with the Darkblade, and they've also joined the Federation, and they're considered a civilized race by the Federation, no different from humans, dwarves, and gnomes, but that being said, those who call themselves the 'undead' join the Federation and are supported by the arms sold by the Federation's Black Iron Zone. ”

Miss Paladin waved her fist unconvinced:

"They are very weak, at least much weaker than the Dark Blade Undead, but with the blessing of those arms, they have also become very difficult to entangle, those undead are very intelligent, almost no different from the living, in an operation last year, they set a trap for the Third Order, which directly led to the almost annihilation of the Third Order, but those undead did not harm the captives, but sent them back."

Abidis sighed, a little helpless, and a little sad and said:

"Father and the other Grand Knights discussed it for several days, and finally we had to accept the peace proposal of the undead lord named Dylan, because... We really can't fight anymore, everyone's living materials are very lacking, young people want to rest, old people also need medical supplies... Those cunning bastards! ”

"They seem to see our weakness, and within a few days of the peace agreement, they sent out merchants to sell us some goods, which we needed very much... What a shame! ”

"No, no, no, kid, it's not a shame."

Uther saw that Bridget's voice was tinged with a hint of weeping, and the Grand Knight comforted him:

"You have done well enough, in that difficult situation, you can still liberate a third of the city of Stratholme, child, no one can ask you to do better, the Pope already knows your predicament, rest assured, we will do everything we can to support you, even... Even give you the power to form a state of order, and no one can blame you! ”

The white-haired knight seemed to have made up his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Even if you do your best, child, we won't give up on you! When hell freezes over! You can't go home... Then home is for you! Even if it's another battle in the Northern Frontier... We'll do it! ”

Between the two conversations, a bright salute sounded, representing the beginning of the wedding ceremony, all the VIPs seated stood up and looked out on the big platform, the gate of the new Lordaeron City was slowly pushed open by 18 knights, and a gorgeous carriage representing the royal family of Lordaeron slowly drove into the main road of the city, 8 white war horses without a trace of miscellaneous hair, wearing gorgeous armor, under the driving of the best driver, slowly entered the people's field of vision.

Wearing the golden armor representing the status of the paladin, and the shoulder armor of a lion was also embellished, Arthas wore a crown on his head, his hands were on the righteousness of the holy light, and he stood on the platform in front of the carriage without squinting, and his red cloak swayed in the wind, looking majestic.

In front of and behind the carriage, the paladins were personally led by the most loyal kingdom guard, Faric, and behind the knights were carefully selected warriors, who held ceremonial spears, and under each polished shining spear, the blue Lordaeron banner was hung, and the warriors slowly moved forward amid the chants blown by the trumpeters.

The ceremony was carried out in exactly accordance with the ancient rites of the Araço Empire, without the elaborate procedures among the nobles, and under the cheers of the people and the flying of petals and streamers in the sky, His Majesty Alsace's chariot and horse passed through the main road, and after a slow march of 10 minutes, they reached the ceremonial platform at the wedding site.

Guarded by the knights, the king stepped down from the carriage and, to the cheers and applause of the crowds of the world, he strolled up to the 33-step platform, at the top of which the old Pope of the Light, Alonthos. Dressed in golden robes and wearing a papal crown, Fao was standing behind the ceremonial stage with the support of two paladins.

Being able to ask the Pope to witness the wedding has already explained the status of Alsace in the new imperial system, of course, this is also because the status of both parties to the wedding is very high, in addition to the Pope, the only one who is qualified to officiate the wedding is the cardinal archbishop who should be stationed in various countries, but considering the complexity of the kings and envoys of various countries, the tired and old Pope finally decided to preside over the ceremony himself.

Arthas stepped forward and stood on the red carpet, he looked at the Pope, the old man smiled at him, and in the cheerful singing and music, in the cheers of the people and the halo of fireworks released by the magicians in the sky, Gianna, dressed in a blue wedding dress and holding flowers, appeared at the bottom of the ceremonial table, with a serious face Drake. Proudmoore stood beside his sister, although he was not very satisfied with Arthas, but at this moment, thinking of his sister, who had always been regarded as the jewel of the family, was about to get married, even the more stubborn Drake's eyes were a little red.

And behind Gianna, wearing armor as a ceremonial guard. Prodmore frequently stared at Alsace in front of him, this dissolute admiral, who had a great opinion of Arthas.

But he can't resist his sister...

As the youngest ** teacher, Gianna has experienced too many big scenes, but at this moment, standing in front of this red carpet, Gianna was rarely nervous, and at the moment when she was about to step on the red carpet, a weird, and familiar voice suddenly sounded in her mind, still as lazy as last time, just listening to the voice, you can imagine how beautiful the owner of this voice is, how gorgeous and peerless.

"Yo, little sister, today is your big day... But my sister is more curious..."

"Are you really ready?"
