Mystic Wizard in Azeroth

Chapter 197: Trial Court

In Silvermoon City, where the Windrunners were stationed, a male high elf with a hood on his head led a small group of spellbreakers to appear at the gate of the station on tall war horses.

"Stop whoever comes!" Two ranger guards stopped them, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I am McGuire Dawnblade, the judge of the Tribunal, entrusted by the Joint Tribunal, to order Alleria Windrunner to go to the Tribunal for questioning about the attack on Prince Kael'thas. "

As he spoke, he took out a scroll: "This is an order issued by the trial court, with the speaker's signature on it."

A guard took it, released a small magic, and said after finding out that it was confirmed, "Please wait a moment, I will notify the commander."

As he spoke, he hurried back to the center of the camp, while another guard stood there, still staring at them vigilantly.

"Relax, guard, we are not the enemy," McGuire dismounted and took a step forward, "Anyone here lately?"

"I have no obligation to tell you, mage," the guard said indifferently, "please step back outside the cordon."

"Ha, don't be nervous, or can you tell me if Ms. Alleria has left here?" He secretly formed a magic circle in his left hand as he said.

"What are you going to do?" The guard noticed his movement and quickly drew his bow. A dark arrow aimed at the judge McGuire's face immediately.

The judge recognized that it was the Windrunner family, or the magic-breaking arrow developed by the Farwalker Fortress, which can easily smash all kinds of magic armor of elementary and middle-level mages, and his face became a little ugly.

"Stop it, Jin." At this moment, a female voice came from inside the station, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two.

"Ms. Alleria Windrunner, please follow me. The chief judge of the Tribunal of the Parliament wants to see you." After seeing the person coming, McGuire dispersed the circle and said loudly.

"I already know." Alleria Windrunner was not wearing ranger armor, but a relatively simple silk robe. "You guard here, Jin, Kirk, and wait for me to come back."

"Yes!"

McGuire asked his subordinates to lead Alleria out of here first, then put on the hood, turned his head to look at the two vigilant ranger guards and the huge Windrunner family emblem on it, showing a sneer.

About two quarters of an hour later, Alleria and her party arrived at the northwest corner of Silvermoon City. There stood a slightly gloomy tall tower alone, with a circular sign carved with a blood-red whip hanging above the main entrance.

This is the seat of the Tribunal of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas - the Tower of Judgment.

"Miss Alleria, we're here."

The female ranger captain glanced at the judge named McGuire, then turned to look at the dark doorway, and walked in with her head held high.

"Tsk, Windrunner, you don't even know you're about to die..." McGuire shook his head slightly, followed Alleria in, and the red door on a white background slowly closed.

Under the guidance of McGuire, Alleria arrived at a round dark hall, the walls were made of black stones, the torch gave off a dim light, and a dark red wooden chair was placed in the middle.

The surrounding seats were very high, and some people whose faces she could not see sat on them. She knew that spells were cast here to ensure the safety of the judges.

"Please sit down, Alleria Windrunner." McGuire let her sit on the middle chair, then stepped up the stairs and disappeared into the shadows. At the same time, various whispers came into the ears of the elf ranger .

"We will start today's investigation and inquiry immediately. Please keep quiet." The presiding judge sitting on the main seat stood up, and the hall immediately fell silent. Then he looked at Aurelia who was sitting below.

"Name?"

"Alleria Windrunner."

"gender?"

"Female."

"Hold any position in the kingdom?"

"A subordinate of Liresa Windrunner, the forest defense officer in the southern part of the Kingdom, and the leader of the third ranger squad, he is responsible for the forest defense missions from Jinwu Village to the west, Riguan Village to the east, Arendar River to the north, and Taquilin to the south."

After some routine inquiries, the questioning will officially begin.

When the presiding judge sat down, an elf beside him couldn't wait to stand up and asked aloud, his words contained a lot of malice: "Captain Alleria, is the location where Prince Kael'thas was attacked in your place?" Zone range? Please answer yes or no."

"...yes, but..."

"Okay, the next question is, according to the evidence and testimony provided by the chief guard of Prince Kael'thas, Veridil, the attackers have a close connection with the Farstrider Fortress, and you are present as the person involved, do you agree with this inference? ?”

Recalling the scene at that time, Alleria nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Very good, you are very frank, Captain Alleria, next is the last question. According to the investigation, a quarrel broke out between Aristophanes Windrunner and Prince Kael'thas in the Farstrider territory, and then the prince returned In the process, there was an unknown attack.

So do you think this attack was organized by Farstrider Hold? In other words, is it accepted that the attack was carried out by Aristophanes Windrunner to vent his anger? "

"No, Your Excellency the Judge, I do not agree." Alleria shouted anxiously at the blurred figures whose faces could not be seen, "This attack will definitely not be organized by Aristophanes. There must be some misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? Miss Alleria, do you know that what Aristophane Windrunner has done has already constituted a crime of treason, and even the Windrunner family cannot avoid being implicated! I suggest that you should honestly and privately Tell me about the deeds below, so that the king and the parliament may pardon your family! Of course, the life of your family..."

"Jared!"

Alleria was silent, and she was smart enough to hear the whole story of the incident from the judge's tone just now.

"I see, these are just excuses..."

"These are just excuses, Kael'thas," On the other side, Anasteria was also communicating with Kael'thas in the Tower of Sunfury about the incident.

"Father, no matter what, I was attacked by suspected Farstrider Fortress armed forces on the land patrolled by Windrunner's house," Kael'thas said lightly, "and the development of Farstrider Fortress is far beyond You and I imagine that trolls are not as powerful as before, so it has gradually become a big threat. Whether it is for the kingdom or for this case, we need to deal with it there."

"Over there? Where?"

"The Farwalker Fortress and the Windrunner Family, either remove the Farwalker Fortress and let it return to the state of the previous ordinary camp, or replace its lord. The Windrunner family can no longer continue to be the leader of the fortress, and must stop Windrunners' trade routes, reducing their access to funds."

Anasteria looked at the upright son in front of him, and asked softly, "Is this your idea or who instilled it in you?"

"Part of it is the opinion given to me by the head of the guard, Veridil, but more of it is my own idea. I thought that Veridil had selfish intentions before, but after this trip, even without Veridil's opinion, I also insist that it's time for a change in Stronghold Farstrider."

His Majesty the King sighed, and Kael'thas continued: "Veridil told me that the Tribunal began to question Alleria Windrunner today, and I think there will be results that meet our expectations soon. Pass it on."

"What?" Anasteria was stunned, then stood up abruptly with a gloomy face, "Who gave the order?"

"It is I, Father," Kael'thas said, "time has dragged on long enough, and it cannot be dragged on any longer.

And I have already figured it out, with the help of Alleria's testimony, we can transfer Aristophanes Windrunner and Taranas Windrunner away from their territory in the name of trial, and then take the opportunity to send Farstrider The fortress was taken back into the hands of the royal family, and then combined with other mage families in Silvermoon City to put pressure on the Windrunner family and obtain routes from them, this not only ensured the safety of the border but also appeased other families, but..."

"It's just that the Windrunner family will suffer huge losses, isn't it?" Anasterian said in a cold tone, "You are so powerful, my child, haven't you thought about what will happen after the Windrunner family revolts?"

"No problem, father. I carefully estimated their strength. To put it bluntly, the Windrunners are a ranger military family. At most, they have some ranger troops in their hands. Except for Aristophanes, a high-level mage, the others are very important to us. There is no danger." Kael'thas was full of confidence, as if he had already won.

At this moment, a violent shock spread to their feet, and the two of them cast spells to fix themselves in place.

Then a female guard pushed open the door and rushed in. Kael'thas frowned and was about to scold, but the guard spoke first: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, something has happened!"

"What's the matter, Geneva?"

"The Tribunal was attacked by unknown persons, and now the defensive circle has been activated!"

Hearing this, the two quickly walked to the balcony and looked northwest. A figure in an orange robe floated in the air, surrounded by a huge amount of magic power in the air, and a huge circular magic circle covered the tower of judgment. The sky, and then meteorites of various colors fell from the sky one after another and smashed towards the Tower of Judgment. The purple defensive circle flickered non-stop, and soon cracks appeared on it.

"This is the great magister! When will another master come out of Silvermoon City?" Kael'thas said to himself, and cast Eagle Eye on himself, wanting to see more clearly.

But after seeing that person clearly, his facial expression became stiff, and he muttered: "How is this possible? This is impossible!"

Anasteria already knew who it was, so he said in a slightly complicated tone: "My dear son, did you see that, this is the high-level mage you mentioned."

"Father, this..." Kael'thas was dumbfounded, feeling something shatter in his heart.
