Chapter 1262 Reginald’s request (this cat’s fat belly is soft)

“………………………………”

At this moment, the entire hall of Stormwind Fortress fell into a deathly silence.

Whether it was the guards, the dragonmen, or King Varian, they were all standing there blankly like the stone statues. Looking at the black dragon corpse in front of him that had completely lost the breath of life, the latter had collapsed on the ground. His head was bumpy and uneven, and even the brains were spewed out. It seemed that he could no longer die.

"Bang."

Duanmu Huai picked up the war hammer, flicked the blood foam on it, and looked at everyone.

"I'll go back if nothing happens."

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone came back to their senses and saw another noble standing next to King Varian suddenly become smart and then pointed at the dragons.

"Get 'em!!"

There was basically no suspense in the following battle. Seeing their master being killed so easily, the dragon men were so frightened that they wanted to turn around and run away. They had no intention of fighting at all. Soon the brave guards stepped forward to capture them and then took them away. Duanmuhuai also nodded to King Varian, then turned around and planned to leave.

"Please, please wait, this warrior!"

Seeing that Duanmu Huai was about to leave, King Varian, who had been dumbfounded, came to his senses and shouted loudly, while Duanmu Huai turned his head to look at him.

"What else?"

“No, that…………”

Seeing Duanmu Huai holding the warhammer in front of him, King Varian was speechless for a moment. However, he was still the leader of a country, so he was stunned for a moment and quickly calmed down.

"You have helped us a lot...I would like to express my gratitude to you..."

"Oh, it's okay."

Duanmu Huai nodded silently and replied casually, which made Varian not know what to say for a moment. At this time, the noble next to him spoke hurriedly and found a step for his king.

"Um... Excuse me, did you already know that the countess is the incarnation of the black dragon?"

To be honest, everyone present was buzzing. Even if they saw the black dragon's body with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe their eyes. In other words, their brains refused to believe such ridiculous things. In fact, as the black dragon died, everyone gradually came to their senses and found that their memories seemed to be in some kind of confusion. Thinking about it carefully, there was no such thing in Stormwind City before. Countess Presto is a person, but for some reason, everyone, including Varian, seems to think that it is natural for this countess to appear here.

I didn't react before, but now that I think about it, everyone was covered in cold sweat. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, seemed very calm and didn't seem to be surprised at all.

"Of course, I saw it as soon as I came."

"Come here..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the nobleman twitched the corners of his eyes.

"Why didn't you remind us?"

"I thought she was your dog. Who knows what happened."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly. As a true god, Duanmu Huai could not hide this little trick of the black dragon from him. After all, no matter how she changes form, the appearance of her soul will not change. However, Duanmu Huai didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the black dragon was standing next to it, not sitting on the throne. Who knew if it was the dog raised by the king.

On the other hand, if he saw the black dragon sitting on the throne as soon as he came in, Duanmu Huai would definitely smash it over with a hammer without saying anything.

Dragons also want to rule humans? Go ahead and have your spring and autumn dreams.

"It's okay, I'm leaving then."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand, then turned around and left the hall. Seeing him leaving, Varian wanted to open his mouth again and call out to Duanmuhuai, but was stopped by the nobles next to him.

"Your Majesty, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

“This………………”

Hearing the words of the courtiers around him, Varian came back to his senses and looked around. When he looked at the corridor ahead again, there was no trace of Duanmu Huai.

"Okay."

Varian had to retract his thoughts and nodded.

"Let's deal with the problem here first."

Duanmu Huai didn't care or care about the chaos in Storm Fortress. After leaving Storm Fortress, he returned to the hotel and began to enjoy the local food. As for the next stop, Duanmuhuai has decided to go to the place called Ahn'Qiraj, kill the ancient god sealed in it, and then devour and absorb its power.

"You're back, uncle."

Back in the guest room, Mio Naruse and Homura Akatsuki also came over curiously.

"What about that king?"

"Not at all, it's useless."

Duanmuhuai shook his head and sighed silently.

"She's a piece of trash. She's being controlled by someone without even realizing it. Hey...it seems like we have to find someone else."

"No way, isn't that the king?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's emotion, Xiao Meiyan was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong with the king? Anyone in this world can be a king, but how to be a good king is another matter. This Varian... In my opinion, the level of being a king is only average. Of course, in the final analysis, it is still He is not strong enough, otherwise these problems would not be problems.”

When the black dragon returned to its original state, Duanmuhuai specifically observed Varian, who was stunned and stood there motionless. If the black dragon didn't seem to want to kill him, it would have killed Varian with just one paw. From this point of view, Duanmuhuai sentenced Varian to death in his heart.

It doesn't matter what a ruler's character is, what matters is whether he has a firm will. In Duanmuhuai's view, Varian is not as useful as Dardaniel, the rogue trader. With the Storm Kingdom in this state, I'm afraid there's no way it can be saved.

Hey, what to do next? I remember it seems like these are the only human kingdoms left here. Besides the Kingdom of Stormwind, they are Kul Tiras, Dalaran and Gilneas.

I heard that Gilneas is now full of werewolves, and Duanmuhuai has long stopped treating them as humans. Dalaran seems to be a place where various races live together, so only Kul Tiras is left, which happens to be this country. Also located in Kalimdor, Duanmu Huai planned to stop by Kul Tiras when going to Ahn'Qiraj to see what the situation was like there.

Just when Duanmu Huai was enjoying the food in the guest room and complaining to the two of them, the restless Storm Fortress finally calmed down.

Well, for now.

"Huh..."

Looking at the floor in front of him, King Varian's expression was still a little stiff. The black dragon's body had been dragged away, and the blood on the floor had been washed away. Only the sunken ground proved what had happened here before.

Because the situation happened so suddenly, no one knew anything except that there was a black dragon hiding his identity and sneaking into the Kingdom of Stormwind. It was not until most of the matters were settled that they once again had detailed talks with Marshal Reginald, who had exposed the black dragon's identity before, and then learned the true identity of the black dragon.

The black dragon princess Onyxia is the daughter of the legendary fearsome dragon Deathwing. But to be honest, even Varian can't believe this fact.

It's not that they doubted Marshal Reginald. This veteran had outstanding achievements. He once raided the Tower of Medivh with the former general of Stormwind City, Anduin Lothar, and was loyal to the Kingdom of Stormwind. Logically speaking, there is absolutely no doubt about what he said.

Well, it stands to reason.

So what if it doesn’t follow the logic?

The reason is very simple.

Deathwing's daughter, the black dragon princess Onyxia, was killed with a hammer? ? ?

Do you believe it or do you believe I am the King of Titans?

Although everyone saw with their own eyes the scene where Duanmu Huai smashed the black dragon to death with a hammer, they could not accept this result rationally! Logically speaking, for an existence like this, shouldn't everyone try their best to make even Stormwind City dilapidated and make countless sacrifices, and then finally take it down - or be directly escaped by the other party? Is that right?

In fact, after that, King Varian also invited the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church and the highly respected Archmage to examine the body of the black dragon. Without telling them the truth, these highly respected and powerful beings all unanimously confirmed that this black dragon was indeed a very threatening object, and that it was indeed killed on the spot by a very powerful being. , they were actually very curious about who could destroy such a powerful black dragon.

As for whether this black dragon is Deathwing's daughter Onyxia - then they can't say for sure. After all, no one has really seen the black dragon princess, right?

Even Marshal Reginald, who brought the intelligence and personally lifted Onyxia's illusion, was a little unsure. In his impression, Onyxia was a treacherous and cunning conspirator. She sneaked in anonymously. Stormwind attempts to control Varian and the high-ranking nobles in Stormwind City can see what this conspirator is capable of. In fact, according to Reginald's investigation, even the previous turmoil in the Stonemasons Guild and the death of the queen were related to Onyxia. Inextricably linked.

So in Reginald's imagination, Onyxia is a very cunning, cautious and terrifying enemy. To be honest, he would be more able to accept this black dragon if it were a puppet or a clone.

But you said that the conspirator was just beaten to death with a hammer?

How should I put it... It's just a bit like that... Anyway, I feel like this shouldn't be the ending for her.

What made Reginald even more speechless was that the person who killed Onyxia was not a hidden master from the Kingdom of Stormwind, nor was he a famous hero, but just an adventurer. Even this adventurer didn't come here because he discovered any conspiracy, he just came here to deliver a message and collect a bounty.

Then he killed Onyxia easily.

Comparing his feelings, Reginald felt that if he died in this way, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.

And one thing Reginald didn't tell Varian was that when he followed Lothar to raid the Tower of Medivh, he had seen a vision of his future - in that prophecy, he would be killed by the black dragon. In fact, when Reginald returned to Storm Fortress and planned to confront Onyxia, he was already mentally prepared for this.

As a result... uh... it seems... this prophecy seems to have failed?

"Who is that warrior?"

Reginald couldn't help but sigh, while King Varian smiled bitterly.

"I have to say, he helped us a lot."

After Onyxia's death, King Varian felt that his mind seemed to gradually wake up. Not only him, but also his subordinates. Some issues that he had not thought about carefully now seemed to be possible. Understood.

In fact, the letters between Mayor Marreb and Marshal Auslet have already explained how powerful Duanmu Huai is. Marreb is just a necromancer, and no one in Stormwind City can kill it. few. But the content of Marshal Auslet's letter was a bit sensational. Six people killed an army of nearly a thousand undead. At that time, King Varian was still under the influence of Onyxia and his mind was not very clear, but he was also I know this is unreliable. But at that time, he didn't think much about it. He only knew that the problems in Nanhai Town and Arathi Highlands were solved, and the adventurer was just helping deliver the message.

As for the specific situation, it’s not too late to ask Marshal Auslet when he comes. So Varian only gave Duanmu Huai some traveling expenses at that time, and the latter didn't seem to particularly care.

What's the result now?

Is it strange that a person who can knock down a black dragon with one hammer can kill thousands of undead?

It’s not surprising at all!

But why has he never heard of such a strong man?

You know, the continent of Azeroth has been in turmoil in the past few years, with all kinds of things happening constantly. Logically speaking, such a strong man should not be unknown.

Could it be that this is actually a trap set by the black dragon? Maybe Onyxia already knew that Reginald would come back to accuse her, so she deliberately used this method to escape? Or maybe there is something wrong with this man himself?

"Your Majesty."

While Varian was thinking hard, Marshal Reginald spoke.

"I have something to ask for."

"What's the matter? Marshal Reginald?"

"Questions about Blackstone Mountain."

Marshal Reginald's expression turned solemn and he looked at Varian.

"Onyxia is indeed trying to carry out conspiracy in Stormwind City, but I suspect that this is not her main purpose! In fact, when I went to the Burning Plains to investigate, I was captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves. Fortunately, I was captured by a few An adventurer was rescued. And I am sure that those black dragons are definitely plotting something in Blackstone Mountain! Therefore, I once again request your Majesty to send troops to clear out the entire Blackstone Mountain!"

"This..."

Upon hearing Marshal Reginald's request, Varian suddenly showed a troubled expression. In fact, Marshal Reginald had thought more than once before that Stormwind City should send troops to clear out the Dark Iron dwarves and dragonmen in the Burning Plains, but at that time, most people, including Varian, disagreed with this. Moreover, Stormwind City is currently in dire straits and is not suitable for the use of troops. Besides, the place in the Burning Plains has nothing to offer, so no one wants to ask for trouble.

Later, it was Marshal Reginald who decided to lead a team to investigate, and then disappeared.

Everyone thought he was dead, but they didn't expect that he was imprisoned by the Dark Iron Dwarves!

While Marshal Reginald was being imprisoned by the Dark Iron Dwarves, he had nothing to do but couldn't escape, so he kept thinking in prison.

He didn't come to the Burning Plains with any fanfare, so why was he discovered by the Dark Iron Dwarves?

Judging from the fact that the Dark Iron Dwarves ambush themselves, they obviously got information and were not just blind cats hitting dead mice!

So Marshal Reginald thought about it and pinned the culprit on the countess. After that, he confirmed that the countess was Onyxia, the daughter of Deathwing.

But the problem is not solved there.

That's why...Why would Onyxia deal with herself?

Although Marshal Reginald doesn't deal with Onyxia, he is not the only one who doesn't deal with Onyxia in Stormwind City. In addition, there are dragonmen in Blackstone Mountain, so Marshal Reginald There is a bold guess, that is, Onyxia is dealing with herself because she wants to investigate Blackstone Mountain!

In other words, there must be something in Blackstone Mountain that Onyxia doesn't want to see!

So after returning to Stormwind City this time, Marshal Reginald once again asked King Varian for instructions to investigate Blackstone Mountain.

Regardless of whether the dead Onyxia is real or fake, it is certain that there is something in Blackstone Mountain that the black dragon does not want others to discover. And since Onyxia is doing trouble in Stormwind City, it means that Blackstone Mountain The matter must be related to Stormwind City!

But for Varian, he really can't spare the manpower to go to Blackstone Mountain now.

"I understand what you mean, but we really can't spare too many manpower to investigate Blackstone Mountain..."

"Then, I have a suggestion. I hope that warrior can accompany me on another trip to Blackstone Mountain."

"This..."

Upon hearing Marshal Reginald's proposal, Varian immediately understood what he meant.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course."

Marshal Reginald nodded.

"Of course I have no problem with this."

Varian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"But I'm not sure whether that warrior will agree to go to Blackstone Mountain with you."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Just leave the task of convincing him to me."

At this moment, Marshal Reginald also looked serious.

No matter what, I have to figure out the truth behind this. If the adventurer's strength is real, then this time he goes to Blackstone Mountain, he alone is enough to defeat an army!
