In Stormwind City, the heavy rain was still continuing. Outside the Cathedral of Light Square, the most wanted criminal in Stormwind City, Edwin Van Cleef, the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, was executed, and a group of soldiers were ordered to escort him. After the heads were hung at the gates of Stormwind City for public display, King Varian led his guards and a group of nobles from the Stormwind Kingdom and rode through the dwarf area in the heavy rain.
They are now on their way back to the main castle of Stormwind Fortress.
As for the others, they braved the rain to watch the thug commit suicide. After seeing that there was no other excitement to watch, the citizens of Stormwind City did not want to continue to be exposed to the bone-chilling rain, and they all began to disperse in droves. They dispersed one after another and ran home quickly to change clothes and keep warm.
Amid the rain, a group of cavalry was marching silently. Apart from the sound of rain, the only sound that could be heard was the chaotic collision of countless horseshoes on the cobblestone road. King Varian, with a dark face, rode on his tall horse and took the lead in the front of the team.
Although, the former leader of the Stonemasons Union, Van Cleef, who was the main culprit of the Stormwind Kingdom, has been beheaded, and his head has been hung for public display. But... I don't know why, but Varian's heart doesn't feel any pleasure. Instead, he always feels upset from time to time!
Especially when he thought of the heart-wrenching words that Van Cleef said before he died, he originally thought that he could calm down as long as he got rid of this big enemy, but he couldn't calm down no matter what!
For some reason, when Varian combined the current situation of the Kingdom of Stormwind and thought about the behavior of those nobles, and even Varian's own usual practices, he always felt that what the other party said seemed to , is that really a huge hidden danger?
But... so what if you know?
Could Varian do anything about it? This country is riddled with holes after being ravaged by orcs, and is in dire need of reconstruction, as well as the nobles in the upper echelons of the kingdom who are extravagant, extravagant, and severely corrupt. What can he do even as a king? How to govern and guide? What else could he do except take care of the overall situation for the time being?
The more he thought about it, the more Varian felt upset and angry! Even the icy heavy rain fell on him and soaked his armor and clothes, but it couldn't calm down his mood!
In a state of annoyance, King Varian began to beat the horse with his whip, leading the Duke of Bolvar and other royal knights. Under his leadership, the cavalry team began to speed up, just like that. Horses galloping wildly on this cobblestone street in the rain...
Varian now wants to return to the castle of Stormwind Keep as soon as possible, and then take out the ale and get drunk so that he can put all the unpleasantness of today behind him!
…
When King Varian was leading his cavalry team and speeding back to Stormwind Castle, outside the gates of Stormwind City that he didn't know, in the rain, a little girl and a group of people happened here. The battle between the city gate guards has just begun.
"flame……"
As Anne gave a clear shout, a burst of red fire suddenly appeared on her free right hand. Then, the two Stormwind City guards who were rushing up with their long swords, who were in ecstasy, In their eyes, which instantly turned into shock and fear, the burning flames just swallowed them both up. They were burned to ashes without even being able to scream...
However, this is not the end!
Little Annie is not a good girl, she is very unreasonable, or it can be said that she will not reason with you!
In addition, she is still angry now. Besides, those people on the other side of the city gate have just been identified as bad guys by Little Annie. So, they are all bad guys, right?
If these soldiers are all bad guys, then their fate seems to be doomed after being labeled by Little Annie as being able to be burned.
"...is my favorite toy!"
Under the frightened eyes of the guards inside the city gates and the captain of the guard who was carrying Vanessa to collect the reward, Anne's right hand, which was still burning with fire, was clenched into claws. , and once again threw out a few washbasin-sized fireballs, and then, these fireballs rushed directly through the heavy rain curtain, roaring towards the soldiers in the city gate.
The scorching high-temperature energy of the fireball itself even caused the majestic rainwater that fell on the way to boil and instantly turn into pieces of scalding steam!
Under this situation, the guards seemed to see ferocious flame monsters, dragging their long white steam tails, and pounced towards them! And they only had time to raise the shields in their hands in vain, and watched helplessly as those fireballs engulfed several of them in the flames...
After several short screams, the soldiers, including the captain of the guard leader who made Anne very unpleasant to look at, all heard a piercing cry, and their original bodies and the plates they were wearing were revealed. Armor, shields and weapons were all burned by the terrifying flame magic into a pile of ugly lumps with indistinguishable shapes, black charcoal and molten steel mixed together!
As for the poor little girl, before Annie cast the spell, she had already grabbed her with the hand of the mage and pulled her back to her from the shoulder of the guard captain. At this time, the little girl was floating out of thin air. , fell asleep weakly in the lava shield that Annie put on her.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Seeing such a ferocious little girl mage suddenly appear outside the city, before they could react, she burned several of her colleagues and the powerful high-level guard captain into human form. This made the two Stormwind City soldiers who were standing guard behind the city gate hole far away feel so heartbroken that they almost ran away!
So, they immediately drew out their swords and picked up their shields to be on guard. At the same time, they also began to shout loudly. The enemies outside were too ferocious and they needed more support.
Soon, in just a few breaths, a small team was equipped and guarded near the gate of Stormwind City. Nearly thirty Stormwind City guards rushed into the rain and gathered together, and quickly formed a group in the city. A standard phalanx of thirty people, and then they began to hold up their shields, blocking the vital points on their chests, and lined up in a neat standard phalanx, slowly moving towards the little girl mage of unknown strength outside the city. .
"Attention, brothers! The enemy should be a flame mage. Use your shields to block the vital points. Once she releases the spell, when those fireballs touch your shields, discard them immediately! And everyone else, immediately disperse, Before she could cast another spell, she rushed forward and killed them on the spot!"
Although the captain of the city gate guard is dead, the deputy captain is still alive and well. Just now, they were not at the city gate, but in a military station hut behind the city gate, drinking hot soup and waiting for orders or resting.
Therefore, when the deputy captain heard the alarm and saw the piles of corpses of his colleagues still burning in the city gate, he quickly came up with a decent response plan and began to shout loudly. The men formed a strict formation together and slowly pushed towards the little girl outside the city.
"Everyone, don't panic, she is alone now!"
When it comes to dealing with mages, he is well-informed and is the deputy captain, so he is confident that he has some experience. He is now approaching and waiting. When the enemy casts a spell again, he loses three or two men while the others charge directly and chop them into pieces with their swords!
cut!
Annie disdains the military formations of these bad guys. She is a mage, and a super powerful mage! Besides, she's not stupid, so she won't engage in hand-to-hand combat with them! Who are these bad guys showing up to in front of them now? Moreover, they are even arranged in such a neat and tight formation. Is this because they are worried that she will not be able to blow up all the spells?
Little Annie ignored them. These bad guys had no idea what kind of existence they were facing! If Annie didn't want to play with them for too long now, she would have released Tibbers the Bear to crush them and break up their formation!
Little Annie looked at the wooden pile that had been affected by the fireball attack and the head of Van Cleef that fell out of the wooden cage on top of the wooden pile. She frowned her cute little brows in disgust.
It seems that this unlucky guy who was beheaded is a relative of the little sister next to her? If this is the case, then just burn down all the city gates!
Anyway, little Annie would not be so kind as to help the sleeping little sister next to her carry that person on her way. It makes me sick to death just thinking about it!
Then, why not just burn everything here at the city gate? As long as it is burned down, Anne will not have to think about these troublesome and disgusting things! Yes, that’s what you should do!
"Hey! Have you seen this big fireball of mine?"
Looking at the neat formation of the group of soldiers who were about to walk out of the city gate, little Annie smiled evilly, and suddenly mobilized the rich mana in her right hand. A huge fireball instantly formed above her right hand. , then, under the red firelight, she smiled evilly and looked at the soldiers who had been marked as bad guys.
This is a super explosive fireball as big as a water tank. Bad guys, are you afraid of it or not?
"No! Retreat at full speed!!!"
Upon seeing this exaggerated spell and the terrifying heat emanating from the blazing Noro fireball, the deputy captain of the city gate guard gave in decisively!
Seeing this big fire ball, he knew that an enemy of this level was definitely not something that small soldiers like them could handle! Even he himself is just a high-level warrior. It is better to leave such a powerful mage to the big guys above to deal with him.
Therefore, he immediately issued the order to retreat at full speed. He and his well-trained soldiers quickly completed the turn, and at the same time spread their legs and ran towards the city regardless of...
Unfortunately, they were still running a little slow.
Just when they ran to the other side of the city gate hole and were about to rush into the city, the huge fireball roared into the city gate hole like a huge and angry fire bull...
Then, a huge roar sounded, and the flames and violent energy burst out, directly razing the entire city gate of Stormwind City and all the surrounding buildings within ten yards to the ground... A large number of broken rocks and bricks , the city gates and body parts were all exploded by the terrifying flames, like exploding fireworks, flying dozens of yards into the sky with sweeping flames amid the heavy rain...
Except for a few lucky ones at the back of the team who turned around immediately and ran the fastest, those Stormwind soldiers who didn't have time to run out of the city gate hole were probably dead at this moment. Got it!
Huh? Is there a powerful enemy coming?
When Annie was about to continue casting spells, she suddenly felt a strange magic fluctuation. Then, she frowned and looked into the distance.
Over there, next to an arrow stack on that city wall, under the propped up awning, it seemed that a powerful mage was teleported over? Although it was still raining heavily and the rain had blocked the sight in the distance, Anne could still clearly feel the presence of the other party!
Well, if that's the case, Annie thinks it's better to leave here as soon as possible!
After all, this is someone else's home field. They must have many, many soldiers and various powerful beings outside the city. She is alone now. Once a large number of enemies gather, it will not be fun. !
Besides, this place is too far away from her Kingdom of Fire. With powerful enemies around her, it seems that it’s not easy to summon helpers? Moreover, it is still raining so heavily here, which is very detrimental to the fire elements under her, so...
Anne thought seriously for a while, and then looked around her. Next to her, the little sister was already so angry that her vitality was beginning to disappear little by little. Little Anne finally decided that it was better to give up now. Better.
It's better not to play with these bad guys anymore. It's better to teleport back directly. Now that their city gate has been blown up, they must have been taught a lesson. Then, if there is another chance next time, we will find a way to kill them severely. Get rid of them!
"Let's go!"
Soon, after a blue arcane light circle lit up, little Annie and the little sister she had just rescued who seemed to be a little younger than her disappeared together outside the gate of Stormwind City. What was left was only the gate of Stormwind City that was flattened by the explosive fireball, and a ruin of flames that was slowly extinguishing under the heavy rain...
…
boom! ! !
At the gate of Stormwind Fortress, just as King Varian and Duke Bolvar had just returned to Stormwind Fortress Castle and were preparing to dismount, suddenly, behind them, there was a huge roar and explosion in the distance from the city gate. After that, the echo continued to echo in Stormwind City for a long time...
"This...what happened again?"
King Varian, who turned his horse around, stared blankly in the direction of the Stormwind City gate in the distance.
Now, somewhere, a huge fireball was rising into the sky amid the heavy rain, and at the same time, he could still see the broken white stones flying all over the sky in the explosion...
Even, Varian actually saw half of the broken door?
That was... was the gate of Stormwind City blown up? Just when he ordered Van Cleef's head to be hung at the city gate for public display? Did the revenge of those remnants of the mob come so quickly?
"Asshole! Quick, sound the alarm! There are enemies attacking Stormwind City! Knights, follow me!"
After hurriedly giving instructions to a stunned guard next to him, Varian quickly turned his horse's head, leading the knights who had just returned from the cathedral and had already been soaked by the heavy rain, and then turned his horse's head directly towards the old city. Speeding through the city in the heavy rain.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that after the explosion, the enemy had teleported away...
…
At the same time, next to an arrow tower on the wall of Stormwind City, Countess Katrana Prestor, who had just teleported here, had a smile on her lips and looked at the gate of Stormwind City in the distance with great interest. There were two little girls who caused trouble and were teleported away.
Just now, when she heard the explosion, she was teleported here immediately.
Originally, she planned to go up and fight with the opponent, but when she remembered that the bombed city gate was the place where Fan Cleef's head was asked to hang, and then, after she looked at the unconscious little girl in the distance, She seemed to remember something interesting, and then she was not in a hurry to do it.
Especially when Katrana discovered that the little girl who had just blown up the city gate had discovered her existence, she didn't want to take action anymore! So, she just smiled across the heavy rain curtain, and after making contact with the other party in the mage's spiritual perception, she allowed the other party to teleport away calmly.
"It seems...things have become more interesting..."
Just now, Katrana used magic to overhear the whispers of the sleeping little girl floating in the air. Therefore, she seemed to have misunderstood something, and thought that the two little girls below were... What is the close relationship between them and the beheaded Van Cleef?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that she doesn't need to make any more arrangements. In just three to five years, the Kingdom of Stormwind will have to face the re-emergence of the Defias Brotherhood in the future, right? Or something more serious?
Moreover, look at that ferocious little girl who can blow up an entire city gate by herself. Then, there must be great room for growth in the future, right? And she is likely to be the enemy that Stormwind City needs to face in the future?
If this is really the case, then things have really started to get more and more interesting...
"Ah……"
In the heavy rain, Countess Katrana Presto, holding her arms, stood under the awning of the arrow tower, looking at the bombed city gate and the place where the two escaped little girls had just stood. place and began to laugh softly.
Next to her, a crossbow-wielding soldier from Stormwind City looked at her inexplicably, looking at the countess who was laughing out loud.
He couldn't understand it. Now that the other party had blown up the city gate, this countess could still laugh? Is this so funny? After muttering two words of unknown meaning in a low voice, he did not dare to look at Count Katlana, who was so charming that he would not pay for his life. Anyway, he couldn't figure out the dirty thoughts of these upper-class nobles!
…
"Asshole! What is going on here? Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?"
Finally, the furious King Varian, Duke Bolvar, and a group of knights arrived here in time, but unfortunately, they were still too late!
Now, here, all they can see are the ruins of the broken city gate that was blown to pieces and still emitting bursts of gunpowder smoke after the heavy rain, as well as a few people lying on the ground, dead or Injured city gate guards.
However, no one answered the king's question now, and the soldiers who arrived here first didn't know what happened. When they came here, there were no enemies, just the ruins and the fallen people. Colleagues wailing in pain all over the place.
And now, the Stormwind soldiers who arrived here earlier than King Varian and the others were braving the rain to rescue the injured who were still alive, and trying to clean up the ruins to see if anyone survived among the broken rocks. The poor thing.
"Tell me! What happened here! Who did it? Did you see it?"
After jumping off the horse, he observed for a while. After confirming that no enemy was found around him, Varian quickly stepped forward and grabbed a soldier who didn't seem to be seriously injured. This man only had a slight injury on his arm. It looked bloody, so he must know something.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty... they are the remnants of Van Cleef, they should be his two daughters... one of them is a powerful mage, and it was she who cast a spell to blow up this place..."
This cake soldier was relatively lucky. When Little Annie's spell hit him, he ran the fastest and was not in the city gate, so he luckily escaped. As for those who ran slower and fell behind... Now, if you can still find fragments in the ruins, that would be great!
"Van Cleef has two daughters? Are they both powerful mages? Bastard!"
Varian sighed after hearing the soldier's answer.
Now, the Storm Kingdom is really in big trouble! He knew that these troubles would not end so easily. In the future, they would probably continue to cause trouble endlessly, right?
"Have you seen their faces clearly?"
Duke Bolvar, who was next to the king, frowned. After inspecting the ruins of the city gate for a while, he also came up and asked a key question.
"Hug, I'm sorry... Your Majesty the Duke, because I'm far away, I only know that they are two seven or eight-year-old girls who can also cast terrifying spells... As for their appearance... I'm sorry."
After saying that, the soldier looked towards the ruins of the city gate. Those who could clearly see the faces of the two little girls were probably over there, right? Now, I guess all I can do is ask their undead souls!
"asshole!"
Furious, King Varian had to let go of the soldier, allowing him to be carried away by two soldiers and sent for medical treatment.
"Pass this order, there are bounties on two Van Cleef's daughters throughout the Kingdom of Stormwind! They should be around seven or eight years old, and they can cast spells. That's the key point! Then... give me a little description based on Van Cleef's appearance, and that's probably it!"
Waving his hand, Bolvar issued two high reward orders on behalf of King Varian.
No matter what, these two remnants of Van Cleef must be caught, otherwise, there will definitely be another big trouble in the future! Two little girls of seven or eight years old, and they can also cast spells, so they should be easy to find!
If you can't catch them and let them continue to grow... Look, the Stormwind City Gate is now in ruins. There's no telling what kind of disaster will happen in the future!
At this time, both Varian and Bolvar seemed to have misunderstood something. They all thought that the two little girls who caused trouble and blew up the gate of Stormwind City should be together. However, this is not the case. …
…
In the northern continent, in front of the gate of the Queen's Palace in the City of Fire, a burst of blue arcane light suddenly lit up. This should be some long-distance teleportation spell.
However, when they saw this situation, the elite fire demon royal guards who were on duty were not too surprised and did not make any move. Because they know that it must be their Majesty the Queen who has been missing for many days and is finally coming back.
They are still looking forward to it. I wonder what weird or delicious things Her Majesty the Queen will bring back this time?
Last time, when Her Majesty the Queen came back, she captured an extremely huge Tyrannosaurus Rex and let a group of them fire monsters feast on it; then, the last time, Her Majesty the Queen got back an extremely huge Tyrannosaurus Rex. Great white sharks also gave them a good time!
Although food is not necessary for their fire element life, for them, some food is better than nothing! Appetite, human food, is one of their few pursuits!
Finally, the blue arcane light gradually dissipated, and Her Majesty the Queen of the Fire Kingdom finally appeared. However... what puzzled the fire demon royal guards on the side was why Her Majesty the Queen brought back this time. , but such a small little human being? Didn't she say you can't eat humans?
"Hey! You guys, hurry up and call Sister Lana over! And you, send people to the city as quickly as possible to see if there are any priests or anything else, and bring them to me as quickly as possible. Here in the palace! What are you doing standing around, why don't you go quickly?"
After coming out of the teleportation spell, Annie directly gave instructions to a fire demon guard next to her without even looking.
"Dear Your Majesty... How can such a small human being have enough food..."
A little fire demon commander who was closest was still staring blankly at the little human girl who was floating in the air half-dead by the Queen's spell. She had not yet recovered from the huge gap.
"What? Eat?"
He saw that the fire demon was still looking at the little girl he had brought back in a daze, and was still talking about what to eat.
In a fit of anger, Annie threw a fireball as big as a basin directly at the face of the little fire demon commander: I'll make you daze!
She was still not relieved after smashing one, so Annie hit the ugly face on the other side with another fireball: I told you to eat it!
Anyway, these fire monsters are not afraid of ordinary flames, and her two fireballs cannot hurt them, but bursts of severe pain are definitely unavoidable.
"ah!!"
After the little fire demon commander screamed twice, he finally came to his senses and immediately began to shout and order the guards under him nearby to follow the order of Her Majesty the Queen as quickly as possible. Go and do it.
Then, it rubbed and covered its face vigorously, while nodding and begging for mercy to Her Majesty the Queen who walked into the palace with the floating and unconscious little girl.
It turns out that the little human girl their Majesty the Queen just brought back was not for food... It seems that there are no weird things to eat this time, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time! What's more, what makes it feel even more unlucky is that not only did she not have anything good to eat this time, but she also received a severe beating from Her Majesty the Queen for no reason. When Grand Steward Shane Knox returns from the Land of Fire, he will definitely be beaten again. Are you going to get yourself caught and punished?
