"Long live the Prince!"

"Long live Arthas!"

In the squares of County Talon, with the help of Arthas and his guards descending from the sky, and the Hammerhammer Griffin Knights soaring through the sky, another wave of attacks from the fragile walking corpses was repulsed, and the weary warriors cheered, calling Arthas's name, the name of the savior.

And at the back of the square, there were several lit bonfires, and the corpses of the fallen warriors were thrown into the fire one by one under the silent gaze of the warriors, and no one wanted the heroes to be desecrated by the undead after death, and the burning of the corpses, although cruel, was the last form of dignity.

At this time, the town was under the command of some experienced women, women and children were nervously packing the necessary supplies for the long journey, this town originally had thousands of civilians, after the Kaulin junction was captured by the undead, many fugitives fled here, after gathering, this is a large team.

"We don't go to the hands of Tyr, the Kaulin junction has been captured, and we can only go to the northwest."

Arthas drank boiling water and said to Captain Redpass and Paladin Davi of the Silver Hand in front of him:

"The road from Daron County to the Sordo River is the most critical, Barov's private soldiers should be waiting on the banks of the Sordo River, as soon as we get there, we can follow the river all the way west to Keldaron Castle and Camp Coldwind, so as long as we get to the riverside, you are completely safe."

"But Your Highness the Prince, most of the men here are not formally trained, and they are okay to fight against small groups of undead, once they encounter a large-scale undead cluster, they can easily lose the will to fight due to fear."

Paladin Davi was a little embarrassed and said:

"Can you ask the army of Andohar to come and meet you? All it takes is 300 knights, or 500 trained infantry, and you can..."

"We don't have any more soldiers to deploy, Knight Davey."

Alsace said in a deep voice:

"All the soldiers in the entire kingdom who can still move, have been sent out to collect the civilians, this time the disaster came too suddenly, the country's current priority is to ensure that the city does not fall, as long as the people are still there, we still have hope, this is why I am here, after you all evacuate safely, the knights of the kingdom can let go and fight back against those undead who suddenly appeared."

"They can't break us!"

"Let the men stand guard on the perimeter of the procession, protect the women and children, load up all the wagons that can be used in the town, and have the griffin knights of our dwarven friends in the sky to escort us, they will help us blow up the undead in our way, all we have to do is rush out as fast as we can... Can't be left behind, you know? ”

The prince's finger pointed to the north-west, and he said in a deep voice:

"The end of there is hope!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The veteran Redpass didn't say much, in World War II, Lordaeron had encountered a worse situation than it is now, but the country still survived, and for those who have been on the battlefield, the harsh reality has made it difficult for them to feel hopeless anymore.

"Marvion! Farek! ”

The prince called out to his two loyal captains of the guard, and the two mighty warriors stepped forward in unison, waiting for the prince's orders, and Arthas looked at them, and after a moment he whispered:

"You have seen the terrible situation, and I don't need to say comforting words, but this time, I am determined to help my people out of this misery, and they do not deserve it, even if I die here! I want you to fight with me to the end, I need to take my guards and divide them into two teams, and guard them on either side! ”

"This disaster makes me feel very powerless, but it's not a reason for us to do nothing and watch the disaster continue, it's going to be a very tough battle, but I believe that's where our glory lies!"

Marvien and Faric glanced at each other, both of them felt the firmness in the prince's heart, since there was no persuasion, they could only accompany their prince to fight to the death, they took a step back, and said in unison:

"It's our pleasure!"

"Let's go, then!"

As soon as the prince of Arthas gave the order, the huge migration procession of Talon County slowly moved forward, thousands of people lined up in a long queue, none of which were maintained by the prince's guards, and at the front of the line, Arthas took Captain Drepas and some brave townspeople with weapons in hand, clearing the undead who were walking aimlessly in front of them, and at the back of the team, it was the broken back team that the Davi knight took the initiative to request.

The men were armed with a variety of weapons, and outside the procession, the women in the group carried children and backpacks, and some elderly people sat in carriages, tending to young, frightened children.

No one spoke, no one was in the mood to speak in this dangerous situation, and after leaving Talonshire, as night slowly fell, invisible dangers approached little by little.

In the sky of Stratholme, a pair of invisible eyes were watching with interest the team that was slowly moving forward in the darkness, to be precise, he was examining the leader of this team, the prince of Arthas who was on a war horse, holding a war hammer, and looking around vigilantly.

This is not the first time the Lich King has seen the prince.

In the recent events of the burned plague grains and destroyed plague cauldrons in the city of Stratholme, this prince was born, and even Baron Rivendell, whom the Dreadlords Barnazar and Marganis had poured their energies into seducing, died at the hands of Arthas.

One day ago, in the Tirisfa region, the civilians of Sabethchel, who were supposed to be members of the Scourge, were saved by the Prince of Arthas and those strange orcs.

And now, he has reappeared in the dangerous Stratholme wilderness, protecting thousands of civilians as they travel to the vicinity of the Sordo River.

The prince doesn't seem to have rested at all in these days, his body is tired, but his soul is very persistent, he is doing everything in his power to save his people in his own way, but what makes the Lich King feel most curious is his will, his heart is obviously at a loss, but he is not like others who lose the motivation to act because of the confusion in his heart.

When there was little hope, he still fought desperately, again and again, trying to break through the darkness in front of him with his own strength, although he always failed again and again.

But this will is rare in itself, and more importantly, in this young prince, the Lich King sees a potential.

"Only the strongest-willed are qualified to lift up the sorrow of frost... Would you be a perfect sword-wielder? Alsace. Minecil, I'm curious... Is your will really indestructible? ”

"Hehe, let's take a look."

In the deep voice of the Lich King, the sound of the rope began to sound in the darkness around him, and the awakened dead rushed out of the great tomb not far from this place, and the new master gave them a cruel order, and the hungry hearts and desires of the dead were about to be satisfied.

Servants of darkness approached the long line from all sides, hiding in the shadows on either side, watching the fresh flesh, the delicious... Meat, mouth-watering...

"Something's coming! A lot! ”

Arthas's war hammer began to shine with the light of holy light, which means that the evil creature is approaching, the weapon of His Royal Highness the prince is not ordinary, it is said that this is a treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Minahir family, although it is not as powerful as the legendary weapon, but it is absolutely top-notch for the transmission of holy light energy, and it is extremely strong, heavy, and full of lethality.

"Alert! Alert! ”

Arthas's shout made the soldiers and men immediately aim their weapons at the periphery of the group, the prince rode a war horse, holding torches, running in the darkness, he looked at the dense undead emerging in the darkness outside, Arthas's heart sank, he decisively pulled out the hammer flare gun from behind, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

"Whoosh"

A green spark bursts into the sky that pierces the darkness, and this specially crafted flare can stay in the air for several minutes, providing coordinate guidance to the Hammer Knights as they take off from Eagle's Nest.

"Hold on! Don't panic... Air support is coming soon! Hold on, brothers! ”

Arthas shouted, his hoarse voice ringing out in the night:

"I'm fighting here, with you, I'm not going anywhere! Protect your loved ones! Fight to the death! ”

"For the will of the prince!"

The loyal guard Farrick stood by the prince's side, and he shouted, this will inspired the soldiers and men around him, after all, in a feudal kingdom, it would definitely be considered an honor to fight with a real prince, and a prince who was willing to fight to the death for the sake of the common people certainly deserved their following.

The undead were not moved by Arthas's bravery, they roared, these cold, soulless monsters, manipulated by the voice of their hearts, like marionettes, rushed towards the human ranks in front of them, intending to tear them all apart.

"Holy water!"

Arthas saw the first group of undead rushing towards him, his left hand raised high, and behind him, the men clenched the jars of holy water they had made in their humble churches before leaving Daronshire.

"Cast!"

The prince's arm swung down, and the bottles and cans were thrown out and smashed to the ground, splashing cold holy water in all directions, but the liquid fell on the undead like the hottest oil, igniting the weak undead in an instant.

The Holy Light and Death, although not absolutely opposed, are mutually restrained.

"Defensive formation!"

Arthas jumped off his horse, holding a war hammer, standing in front of the soldiers and men, and when a resurrected brute troll pounced on him, he stepped forward, gritted his teeth, and the war hammer in his hand roared from the bottom up, like a battering ram, and smashed into the chest of the brute troll, and the scorching light ignited the body of the undead beast in front of him, forcing it back two steps.

The prince fearlessly advanced again, the warhammer in his hand swung from side to side, smashing the skeletons and ghouls to the ground, and in the shouts of the people behind him, Arthas's body was full of strength, and he slashed tirelessly, this crazy hero inspired the men who followed him, and they followed the prince, and the prince rushed there, and they roared blindly, desperately stabbing their weapons out.

But courage can't make up for the gap in numbers, the men fight bravely, but no matter how much they slash, there are still fewer and fewer people around them, especially when those who have just fallen are eroded by the dark power to stand up again and start attacking them, many people's will to fight collapses.

"Don't retreat! Think of your family! ”

Arthas didn't retreat, the bruises on his arms bulged up, like a warrior in a bloody battle, like a reef in the current, stuck in place.

"Little Arthas! Hold on, we're coming! ”

The roar of the Hammer Dwarves rang out from the dark sky, followed by the alchemy bombs that continued to fall in the group of undead, and in the burst of fire, the menacing undead were blown up on their backs, and a team of griffin knights followed the human ranks, and under the orders of Furstad, they continued to drop bombs, blowing up a gap in the circle of the undead that surrounded the humans.

"It's now! Redpass, take the people away! Fast! ”

Arthas roared in the flames, Captain Redpass, who was also fighting fiercely, touched the blood on his face, he glanced at the soldiers and men who were fighting to the death behind him, he gritted his teeth, jumped on his horse, and rushed towards the somewhat chaotic crowd.

"Davey! Davi, protect the carriage, the others, follow me! ”

Redpass shouted in the darkness with all his strength, and in the screams of women and children, the crowd began to run, led by Redpass, who was armed with torches, and the crowd, under the protection of the Sky Knights of the Brute Hammer, quickly passed through the combat zone, the undead chased after them, but they were quickly held back by the desperate counterattackers, and even the old people clenched their weapons and began to buy time for the children with their lives.

Everything became tragic, and in the sky, the Hammer Lord Vorstad watched this scene, his eyes were a little red, and the sensual dwarf grabbed the bomb in his hand and threw it into the night.

"Protect these humans and drop all the bombs!"

"Little Arthas, hold on! We'll be back soon! ”

The crowd ran wildly in the darkness for more than ten minutes, and finally, as they approached the Sordo River, they saw the lights shining in front of them, and Redpass jumped off his horse, and as he ran, he shouted:

"Go and save the prince! His Highness Arthas is still to come! ”

This shout caused a stir in the front line of defense, and a moment later a cavalry rushed out, and the young knight, led by the leader, pulled the weary Redpas onto his horse, and as he ran, he shouted:

"I am Lieutenant Sassarian of the Garrison of Andorhar, and I have been ordered to meet you, and tell me, soldier, where is the prince?"

"In the back, the prince ... The prince is in the back for us. ”

————————————————————————-

"Restored"

The neighing of the horses scattered the wandering undead, Lieutenant Thassarian cut down two undead, he jumped off his horse quickly, searched in the dark, and finally he followed the traces of the battle, found deep in the forest, and under a stump, he saw the prince of Arthas on one knee, and beside him, several loyal guards who were seriously wounded.

He stepped forward quickly and whispered to the prince's prince, but there was no response, which gave the lieutenant a bad premonition in his heart, and he reached out and touched the prince's wrist, and after a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The prince is alive, he just... He's just too tired, he's resting, shhh Don't bother him, he needs a break. ”
