Chapter 1258 Shuanglin Meeting
Durnholde Keep was not of much value, so Galen left the next day and continued eastward, crossing the Wall of Thoradin and entering the Arathi Highlands.
He had inquired before leaving and found out that Stromgarde had fallen into decline, with most of the city occupied by a group of ogres and human thieves.
Today, the remnants of Stromgarde are concentrated in the northeast region, using the Refuge Valley, G'Shark Farm, and Dabile Farm as their strongholds. They are united under the command of Prince Galen Trollbane and are gathering strength to retake the city!
What a familiar plot!
If I hadn't traveled through time with the cheat, in my timeline, the prince would have colluded with the Syndicate thieves and the Stonefist Ogre to assassinate the king.
Then an incompetent prince seized control of the kingdom, but was completely incapable of protecting and governing the country.
The Syndicate and the Stonefist Ogres took the opportunity to unite and break through the thousand-year-old royal city of Stromgarde. The prince could only survive with his people, and could not escape the name of a filial son.
It’s just that without the Scourge of the Undead and Jaina’s eastward journey, the population of Stromgarde didn’t lose a large number of people. It shouldn’t have gotten to the point where they lost most of the capital, right?
With this doubt in mind, Garin cast a spell outside Stromgarde, and under the effect of the vision spell, the entire city was under his observation.
Although ogres and human thieves occupied most of the city, Stromgarde's city guards still held the last church district.
Prince Garin in this timeline, let’s call him Garin 2.
He was now stationed in the church, which was also the royal cemetery of the Trollbane family.
Garin 2 was seriously ill, and it seemed like he would die any moment.
Hey!
Garin laughed out loud. There were two Garins in one timeline. Although their souls were different, their bodies were basically the same. This special influence was insignificant to him as a demigod, but it caused Garin 2 to suffer.
Garin 2 is too weak!
Being weak is the original sin in this world!
No matter who is plotting against Stromgarde in this timeline, Garen 2 cannot protect this legacy!
Waving his hand to dispel the vision spell, Garin took out a priest's messenger suit from his backpack and put it on, then took his daughter and the farmer towards the ruined city.
"Father...is this Stromgarde?"
Altria widened her eyes. Is this ancient city and the glorious place she saw some time ago really the same place?
"Royal power is not eternal, Leah!" Garin looked at Artoria. Sooner or later, she would wear the crown of Lordaeron. There were some things that should be taught to her in advance.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If you are unable to lead the kingdom to become stronger, then the kingdom will decline like this city..."
"Yeah... I understand, father!"
When Garin was teaching his daughter, a team of cavalrymen wearing red Stromgarde armor surrounded them not far away!
"Who are you? The situation ahead is not peaceful. What are you doing here?!"
A familiar voice came, and Garin looked up. The leader was a middle-aged man with long golden hair and a golden beard. He was wearing the standard armor of Stromgarde with a red edge and a white background. There was a winged eagle painted on the chest of the battle robe, and there was a red fist symbol on the shield on his back.
Varokal?
Garin remained silent.
Varokal's face straightened as he approached.
He saw clearly how the three people were dressed!
The leader among them was definitely not the farmer dressed simply, nor the little girl in aristocratic clothes.
So he turned his attention to the mysterious Garin.
Wearing the robes of a divine messenger and a hood, Varokar couldn't see Garin's face clearly, but the robe that radiated light and was full of holiness showed that he was a big figure in the Church of Holy Light!
Varokal quickly jumped off his horse and gave Galin the most respectful salute: "Greetings, Reverend! I am Varokal, the cavalry captain appointed by Prince Trollbane!"
"May the Holy Light be with you, Mr. Varokal!" Garin's voice came from under the hood: "I am the bishop of Northshire Abbey, leading the bloodline of the Menethil family to the Holy Land to meet the Archbishop!"
Jialin half-truthfully told a bombshell.
Instead, Varokal was shocked!
The bloodline of Menethil?
I only heard that Arthas got married in Stormwind Kingdom and had a son!
The person in front of me is obviously my daughter!
Varokal looked at Artoria carefully. As Garen 2's confidant, he had also been to the capital of Lordaeron and had seen the royal family of Menethil from afar!
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something, but no matter how he looked at her, he felt that the little girl resembled Princess Jialiya!
Varokar quickly lowered his head and reminded himself to tell his prince the news!
Thinking of his own prince, Varokar's eyes lit up!
"Reverend Pastor, can I invite you to Stromgarde?" the cavalry captain asked eagerly, "The ruler of Stromgarde, Prince Garin, has suddenly fallen ill, and the pastor of our church is helpless. I would like to invite you to go and take a look!"
Garin under the hood did not agree immediately. After a moment of silence, he agreed to Varokar's request and followed the cavalry into the city of Stromgarde.
The church area controlled by Garin 2 is near the city gate, saving the need to cross dangerous areas occupied by the enemy.
Inside the church, three priests were taking turns blessing the weak prince with holy light for treatment. After being informed by the guards at the door, Varokar entered the church.
Hearing that it was the bishop from the south and the descendant of Menethil, Galen 2 thought of the possibility of asking for help. After all, King Varian had also been in poverty in the past, and Stromgarde made great efforts in the process of restoring the country.
So he struggled and walked slowly to the church door, and each of his steps was extremely heavy.
Jialin 2 was observing the three people attentively. The little girl among them looked very familiar, and she was looking at him with a very strange look.
"Welcome, Reverend!"
"The Holy Light is with you, Your Highness!"
Garin threw a Holy Light over. The Holy Light of the Paladin Demigod was quite powerful, even though he was a Punishment Paladin!
In just a moment, Garin 2 felt his body's strength growing stronger.
He was no longer the same as before, but at least his pale face looked much better, his steps were not as heavy as before, and his speech was no longer weak.
Garin proved his strength with this move, and the priests behind Garin 2 looked at him with respect.
"I suspect that your physical changes are not normal. If you are willing, I can give you a detailed physical examination!"
Garin 2 was overjoyed. Facing the kindness of the pastor, he said happily: "Thank you, pastor, please follow me!"
