County Keldaron, northeast of the Hillsbrad Hills

The castle of the Barov family is located on an excellent island surrounded by water, and the beautiful Lake Daronmere is both the most beautiful scenery and the best moat of the castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the southern side of the island, the hills are gentle, and the essence of the Barov family's estate is concentrated.

Huge blacksmith shops were one after the other, and the thick chimneys emitted billowing black smoke all the time.

The island is full of people, and the caravans of merchants are endless.

To the west of the island, there is a large port that goes beyond the scope of civilian use. Duke actually saw a small warship here, which was obviously used by the Barov family to defend their lair.

The island is not completely cut off from the shore, but a huge stone bridge about 200 meters long that can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel connects the island to the main road on the shore. The water of the lake is not deep, and the water depth of about two meters allows people to see the bottom through the clear water.

Of course, on the fortress that stood on the hill and guarded the entire Barov Castle, there were at least ten huge cannons with muzzles facing the shore. If someone really led the army to kill on the narrow mountainside road, it would be a live-fire drill in the true sense. None of the incoming armies will have the life to cross the bridge.

On the shore, Duke stood on his horse.

Without Duke's crossing, in a decade or so, this thriving island would have been a place of terrible horror. The entire Barov family will be destroyed, and it will be overrun by the Cursed Cult of Kel'thugad, who has taken refuge in the Lich King, and will become one of the most famous places in 'Later History' - the Psychic Academy.

Duke will never forget that in the game, he and a group of friends were wiped out here again and again......

After extinguishing, I remember every key point.

Duke suddenly sighed.

"Master, what's wrong?" Macarlo, who was an entourage, asked Duke carefully.

"No, it's just a bit boring. ”

At this time, a private soldier of Duke who was fighting an outpost rode back.

"Report, it seems a bit troublesome ahead. ”

Macaro suddenly frowned: "Didn't we already inform in advance, His Excellency the Duke will come to visit?"

"That's right, but there was a caravan over there that suddenly overturned on the side of the bridge, dumping a large number of goods, and also attracting cattle and sheep ****, and now the only bridge on the island is blocked. The people of the Barov family said that they are very sorry, let's wait a moment. The private soldier said.

Macarro's face sank like ink: "What about the ferry?"

"Before we announced, they were all sent out. ”

What kind of mistake? This is clearly a dismount!

"Hosts, we ......"

Duke didn't care, but smiled: "Haha! Barov's guys really think we are asking for food." ”

"I'm going to blow up the guys on the bridge. Macaro was so fierce that he raised his hand to call the privates, ready to rush over and push everything in his way into the water.

"No need. Duke whipped at the castle on the island: "I want to tell Barov that before I became a duke, I was first and foremost a powerful mage, and that the kingdom of Stormwind did not fall at all. Order, change the nail and stab the horseshoe. ”

Spike horseshoe?

Horseshoes are good at protecting horses' hooves from cracking, but spike horseshoes are only used in such cold and snowy places.

Luckily, the team had come along the edge of the snow-covered Alterac Mountains, and the stabbing horseshoe was prepared.

It all changed quickly.

At this moment, in the Barov Castle, Duke Alex Barov received a report from the people below.

"They stopped?"

"Yes. They stopped before they could get close to the bridge. ”

"Just let them dry, I have no intention of humiliating them, but I don't want to see the young duke speak nonsense as soon as he comes up. In troubled times, food is precious. ”

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, it was another of Duke Barov's attendants.

"Your Excellency the Duke, they're here! Duke Marcus and his party are here!"

Duke Barov frowned, his personal guard rarely lost his temper, if it was an ordinary arrival, he would definitely not make such a fuss and run over breathlessly. And Duke definitely used some unexpected means to cross a hundred meters of water.

"How?"

"Ice! That Marcus froze the lake!"

Hearing the report from his men, Duke Barov hurriedly walked out of the room and went to the other side of the castle, a terrace near the bridge to the south.

He saw a scene he would never forget.

Overhead, the sun is warm.

In front of me, thousands of meters of ice were frozen.

The entire surface of Lake Daron Mill, on which Keldaron Castle rests, is completely frozen. A team of men and horses galloped on the slippery ice and headed straight for the castle. The sound of horses' hooves alarmed countless people who were working on the island.

Not far away, Duke Barov saw that his captain of the guard was like a fool, and he clearly held the alarm bell in his hand, but he didn't know whether to ring it.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the captain saw Duke Barov.

The Duke let out a long sigh and made a beckoning gesture.

The captain was relieved: "Open the gates!

In fact, in order to pretend to be busy, the gate is always open, but there are guards lined up to welcome and not, which is a completely different matter.

As if stuck in the progress of the guards' procession, the Barov family's private soldiers had just finished lining up and sounded the welcome trumpet, and Duke arrived.

Duke smacked his horse's belly, and a tall, pure white steed flew across the frozen lake.

At this moment, Duke against the backdrop of flying snow does not look like a mortal at all.

I saw him - the crown of a mage with a white background with a forked left and right on his head towered into the sky, wearing a mage robe unique to the Storm Kingdom with a white background and blue edges, fluttering in the wind, a belt full of evil aura and exuding mysterious blue arcane brilliance was tied around his waist, and a strange ornament with a faint flash of thunder on his waist was even more dazzling.

The pure white cloak on his body shook in the wind and snow, and the gold silk rune pattern embroidered on the cloak was faintly visible.

Obviously he is just a young man who looks gentle and elegant, but he gives people the feeling that he is a god who has come out of a blizzard.

Stepping on the ice, Duke's crotch war horse neighed even more.

Only this one appearance startled Duke Barov who came out.

Beside him, Macarol grabbed the reins of his horse, jumped off his horse lightly, and immediately sang: "The court mage of the Stormwind Kingdom, the Duke of Karazan, and the destroyer of 100,000 orcs - Duke Duke Marcus has arrived-"

Next to it, four carriages lined up.

Duke's privateman quickly opened the boxes in the car.

Two carts of golden bars, two carts of frozen orc heads.

Duke Barov's eyelids jumped. (To be continued.) )
