Azeroth’s Death Track
Chapter 350 42. Varian. Self-Exile
Refugees from the Kingdom of Stormwind will be temporarily placed in the Hillsbrad Hills and Alterac Valley, especially Alterac Valley. The land here is very fertile, but under the influence of cold weather, few Some people are willing to go there to open up wasteland.
Outside the palace in the Alterac Mountains, the whistling wind and snow never stopped, but in the palace of the royal court, the burning fireplace made the place extremely warm. The human emperor Lothar was like an ordinary old man Sitting by the fireplace, drinking tea and looking at the documents in his hand, his most trusted clerk stood behind him, reporting the important news to him.
The human empire has been rebuilt in name, but suddenly returned to unity from division, which requires a period of buffering, at least for those nobles to get used to having an emperor on a higher throne than the king. All the kings are willing to do their best, but the same sentence, the political situation in northern Xinjiang is complicated, and any change will take time, so at least for now, the daily life of the emperor Lothar is actually not busy.
But it can be predicted that if the undead who has occupied the kingdom of Stormwind continues to move forward, then he will soon become very busy.
Relocating people to Alterac Valley requires Varian's approval.
Lothar stared at the flames in the fireplace in front of him, and he whispered:
When you act, you must pay attention to maintaining the authority of Varian's king. After suffering such a sudden disaster, his people urgently need him to recover. He is the natural leader in the hearts of the people and is also the one who maintains the rule of the Wrynn family. The King's Council will be held in three days, and this proposal can be put there.
Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor.
The clerk made a note in his notes, then cleared his throat, and said the next thing:
The Bronzebeard dwarves of Ironforge sent a special envoy, the Prince Muradin we are very familiar with. They asked for help. It is said that the Dark Iron clan living under the Blackrock Tower fell to the side of the undead, Mag The king of Ni felt threatened, and it is said that on the border between the dwarf lord Thelsama and the wasteland, there have been undead scouts, that is, the figures of the undead arakkoa.
Dwarves?
Emperor Lothar frowned, and after a while, he put down the teacup in his hand and whispered:
The copper beard dwarves should be the most powerful of the three dwarf races. During the orc wars, I dealt with them a lot. The copper beard dwarves are stubborn and resolute. Facing threats, they will not ask for help so quickly. So, is there something going on that we don't know about?
Yes, Your Majesty.
The clerk handed a letter from King Magni to the emperor. Lothar picked up the letter opener and quickly read the letter written in human language:
An ancient enemy, the troglodytes?
The human emperor had never heard of this race, but from King Magni's letter, he could feel the current distress faced by the copperbeard dwarves. After thinking twice, the emperor put the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
From the Burning Plains to the Searing Gorge, from Elwynn Forest to the wetlands, once the undead advance to the Arathi Highlands, it means that they have entered the core territory of the empire, so maybe...we build defenses in Khaz Modan The strategic location for the undead's attack is also a good choice, where the cold climate and mountain potential can effectively prevent the undead from harassing the northern border, write it down, Vince, and use this strategy as a backup plan.
yes!
The clerk old Vince flipped through the documents in his hand and picked out an important document. He cleared his throat and read:
Finally, Gilneas, Your Majesty, the wall we built at the entrance of Hillsbrad Hills has been connected to the Greymane Wall built by the Gilneas, which means that King Zeon plans to The quarantine zone of the city has been completed, and those Gilneans infected with lycanthropy will be exiled in this quarantine area, but King Jinn now wants to ask for your help, inviting more doctors to Gilneas...see Later their defense against lycanthropy was not very successful.
Werewolves, creatures of darkness...
Lothar rubbed his forehead. As an old man, after recovering the War Destroyer, the legendary weapon gave him new power, but his energy was still a little weak occasionally. In the beating of the fire, human beings The emperor thought about the current worries in northern Xinjiang, and the large-scale lycanthropy outbreak in Gilneas was undoubtedly the most troublesome of these worries.
Hasn't the mages of Dalaran's research on this disease come to fruition?
Lothar asked, the clerk stepped aside, looked at the emperor's daily newsletter, and finally, he took out a letter and walked to the emperor:
Master Antonidas once proposed to invite some druids from the mysterious continent of Kalimdor. He said that this lycanthropy may be related to some anecdotes recorded by the druids, but the navy The messengers sent by His Majesty Dailin have not been able to find any traces of the druids in the great forest of Ashenvale, and just a few days ago, there was another rumor circulating in Dalaran, that those who are hated by people Some information leaked by the warlocks.
The emperor took the letter, only glanced at it, then sat up straight, and asked seriously:
Can they confirm the connection between lycanthropy and undead forces?
No one can be sure, Your Majesty.
The old clerk sighed and said helplessly:
The authenticity of these gossips is very doubtful, and we haven't found the source of this gossip yet. You also know that the entire empire hates warlocks... as long as those warlocks who use dark magic dare to show their faces, they will almost immediately will be hanged on the stake by the paladins.
Find them!
Lothar pointed his finger at the letterhead and said to the clerk:
At all costs, to find these warlocks, I want to know clearly whether the occurrence of lycanthropy has anything to do with the spread of the undead! This is very important, Vince, this is very important, the lesson of the fall of Stormwind City is already severe enough, we We cannot allow the poison of the enemy to spread into our bodies.
boom
The door of the emperor's lounge was suddenly pushed open, Lothar turned around, and heard the great knight Fording saying anxiously:
Quick! His Majesty Lothar... Varian, His Majesty Varian is missing!
What did you say?
———————————————————
Varian Wrynn was brought back to Northern Xinjiang by Lothar himself.
When the king was discovered, he had already fallen into a coma. He was also found with him, the assassin master Shaw who was stabbed 37 times all over his body and was on the verge of death. No one knew what happened in Stormwind Fortress that night, but The disappearance of little prince Anduin and queen Tiffany announced a worrying prediction.
When Lothar rode to Varian's temporary residence, the Countess Katerina and the Archbishop of Chaldea who had received the news were already waiting for him there.
The guards in charge of guarding King Varian were poisoned by collective food poisoning, but it was not fatal. It looked like a method of MI7. In the next room, Shaw, who was supposed to be recuperating, was also missing. Obviously, the pair The ruler and ministers in trouble jointly planned this escape.
But what Lothar couldn't understand was, why did Varian do this? What is it that made him abandon his people and choose to leave alone?
Could it be that Varian, who he had seen growing up with his own eyes, was really defeated by this disaster and turned into a coward who could only run away?
Your Majesty, here is a letter!
The Archbishop of Chaldea found a letter hidden in a book on Varian's desk. It was stained with glaring blood. It can be seen that the king was in a state of extreme pain when he wrote this letter. down.
Lothar took the letter and opened it. The letter was not long.
Dear Uncle Lothar:
When you read this letter, I have already left, not as the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, but as Varian Wrynn. You don't have to use all your strength to find me, because I am not here Fleeing everything I might face, I simply chose a... self-exile.
I am a failed king. I lost the land of my ancestors, the inherited throne, and the people I was supposed to protect. But compared to the failure of a king, the failure of a man makes me more painful.
Our common enemy took my son, my wife before me...and I, as father and husband, could do nothing about it. He was undoubtedly an evil adversary, a tyrant skilled in destroying souls, But the moment he carved the scar of shame on my face, I understood what he was doing.
Uncle Lothar, what we want to defeat is not only the Dark Blade Legion that obeys Tyrion, but also him himself, because the meaning he represents is more terrifying than the entire Dark Blade Legion, he thought It's not conquest, it's not war, it's not justice, it's not vengeance... what he wants is pure, he just wants to destroy, destroy everything we hold dear, destroy everything we choose to protect, destroy everything we believe in.
When I was young, I questioned the existence of the devil described in the Holy Light scriptures, but the moment I saw him, I realized that the devil has always existed, and now, he is with us...I must defeat him !
I made a promise with him that the day I'm strong enough, the day I'm truly Varian, I'll challenge him to bring back my son and wife from him... please don't stop me , Uncle Lothar, I beg you not as a king, but as a man, don't hinder me from fulfilling my mission and responsibility as a husband and father.
Bless me from afar, Uncle, while you are fighting the undead, I am also fighting my own battle... I will not die, at least I will not die until I defeat Tyrion with my own hands... .And when I return again, I will dedicate everything to our empire.
I can no longer live weakly. The painful scar reminds me that if we continue to be cowardly, destruction will come later, and when we are afraid, Tyrion has already won... I am not reconciled Let villains like that win!
This is, this is my war, Varian Wrynn's war, and now, no one can make a choice for me, and no one can fight for me... So, goodbye, Uncle, I will embark on a battlefield where there will be no turning back.
In addition, I will leave the seal of the Wrynn family in the box of this house, and the password is my father's birthday. During my absence, the Archbishop of Chaldea, Duke of Aberlock and Countess Katerina will replace I manage the people of the Stormwind Kingdom... No, they are the people of the empire now, please protect them properly on my behalf, I know you will do it, you have always done so.
After reading the letter, Lothar is already in tears. He has no children in his life, so Varian, the son of his good brother Ryan Wrynn, is like his own child. He never knew that in the time he ignored , What kind of painful torture did this child suffer, Tyrion Dawnblade, that demon destroyed Varian's faith in his own cruel and despicable way, forcing him to walk a path that the king should not take.
But there was also a hint of pride in Lothar's tears.
Varian was not crushed by pain in the end. He chose his own future. It was a road full of ups and downs, but it was also like a sharpening stone for sharpening a long sword. Lothar believed that when Varian appeared again , he will definitely replace him and support the backbone of the entire empire.
Kings are only noble because of the path they practice... Varian Wrynn will use practical actions to prove this advice of the Wrynn family.
call
Lothar let out a breath. He turned around and walked towards the box hidden behind the bookshelf. After a while, he took out the seal passed down from generation to generation by the Wrynn family. Looking at the Archbishop of Chaldea and Countess Caterina in front of him, he reached out and handed the seal to them.
Don't betray Varian's trust!
The human emperor looked at a man and a woman in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
From today until the day when Varian returns with glory and strength, you and Duke Ebonlocke will jointly manage the people of the entire Stormwind Kingdom...
