Chapter 504 In a dream
Hearing Charlemagne's words, Tailan clenched his hand holding the mini-war hammer suddenly, and he raised his head in surprise and asked loudly, "You said my father?! Impossible! My father died shortly after the end of the orc war more than ten years ago. Now, with a disgraceful disgrace..."
Speaking of this, Tyran gritted his teeth, and the complicated and tangled expression on his face made Charlemagne sigh, "It's not as you know, your mother Callander concealed the truth about your father out of good intentions. circumstances, but in fact, Tirion is still alive."
Taylan instinctively wanted to continue to refute Charlemagne's nonsense loudly, but the three items in his hand made him swallow the words that came to his lips.
"...Then, what does my father, who was expelled from the Knights of the Silver Hand because of the illegal release of the orcs, want you to tell me? Why didn't he come to see me in a dignified way?"
The corner of Charlemagne's mouth curled into a mocking smile, "Heh... upright? Don't you have any awareness of your situation?"
Tai Lan's face suddenly tightened, but he still kept a calm attitude and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Seeing Tailan's reaction, Charlemagne knew that the great lord didn't know everything, maybe he just became a mascot honestly because he couldn't resist.
"There is only one thing I can tell you. Your father did let go of the orc Eitrigg back then, but the truth is not what you think. At least in my eyes, your father is an indomitable hero." .”
Charlemagne shook his head lightly, "Time is running out, Tirion asked me to pass on a word to you, 'Do you really think that what Garithos and Isenlien have done is in line with the creed of the paladins and worthy of being the ministers of a country? Is it my duty?'"
"How you choose is up to you. If you plan to stay in Hearthglen as a puppet lord, I will forge the scene of the attempted assassination for you."
"But if you plan to meet your father, I promise you in the name of the Duke of Quel'Thalas that I will take you out of this prison-like fortress safely."
Under Charlemagne's calm eyes, Tai Lan's expression seemed very hesitant, and the expression on his face changed several times in a short period of time. Finally, his tense shoulders finally relaxed, and he let out a long sigh.
"That's all for now. I've always told myself before that I want to manage the family's territory in place of my father who bears a disgraceful reputation. For this reason, I can accept being ostracized by Garithers and Isenlien, and watching them violate my principles." Willingness to act recklessly."
Tyran smiled wryly and repacked the three items Tirion gave him, "In the end, I still couldn't convince myself that what is wrong is always wrong, and it will not become right because of rhetoric and sophistry. I have been taught since childhood."
"Over the years, I have often dreamed at night. In the dream, my father was always with me. He stood proudly beside me, watching me join the Knights. We fought against hordes of Scourge soldiers. We Bring untold glory to the Alliance and Lordaeron."
After putting the package into the magic bag, Tai Lan raised his head and said firmly, "Duke Theron, now I don't want to dream anymore, please take me to him, you said there is something else about my father, I hope you can Let him tell me himself, please help me on the way to escape from the castle!"
Charlemagne finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tailan's choice, and said with a chuckle, "Hehe, as expected of Tirion's son, since you have made a decision, I will definitely send you to him safely beside."
Afterwards, the two had a simple exchange. The range of freedom of action Tyran obtained from Garithos was only to the gate of Hearthglen, and the puppet lord could not leave his territory at all.
Charlemagne rubbed his chin and said, "That's enough, at least we don't have to fight all the way out. The person who responded to us should have taken down the watchtower outside the gate of Hearthglen by now. As long as we can rush out of the gate, there is a high probability that we will be able to go smoothly." escape."
After all, Hearthglen exists as the base camp of Garithos. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed here, and it is simply unrealistic to fight all the way out.
The discussion was settled, and Charlemagne quietly sneaked behind the heavily armed Tyran, and slowly walked out of the castle with the great lord. On the way, he also took advantage of the soldiers' attention to Tailan, and secretly buried him around the castle. Down some small things.
The soldiers along the way still saluted Tailan on the surface, but Charlemagne could see the contempt in their eyes. The soldiers brought out by Garithos didn't take Tailan as a puppet at all.
After walking out of his castle, Tai Lan came to the stables in the name of inspection, took his strong red horse from the groom, and rode on the horse's back slowly towards the gate.
At this time, there were two rows of guarding soldiers at the gate that had not yet been closed. After a rough calculation, there were about 30 people. When they saw Tai Lan riding to the gate, the two captains led a few soldiers to block the gate. in front of the door.
"Master Tailan, do you want to go out so late? Please forgive us for not being able to let it go until Lord Iselion comes back and gives permission..."
Before the captain with an arrogant smile finished speaking, a blue energy arrow suddenly grew from his neck, and of course he couldn't finish what he said.
He looked at the arrow stuck in his neck in disbelief, and tried to pull the arrow out with trembling hands, but he lost all his strength when his hand reached his neck, and fell to the ground with an expression of unwillingness. on the ground.
Not only him, three of the eight soldiers blocking the way died in the first wave of shooting after Charlemagne appeared, and two other squad leaders died together.
"Rush! Sprint towards the sentry tower."
"Whoosh!"
Following Duke Theron's second round of shooting, the other five soldiers who hadn't figured out the situation were also shot to the ground. Tai Lan took advantage of the other guards around him not reacting, and immediately rode his horse through a field of corpses facing outwards. Mercedes away.
After Tai Lan left, the guards thought of stopping him, but how could human legs outrun a horse? They could only watch the puppet lord run farther and farther in despair.
"Huh!"
Charlemagne also took advantage of this opportunity to soar into the sky and cover Tailan's retreat from the air. Fortunately, most of the defense lines along the way were outside, and Tailan galloping out from behind was completely beyond their expectations.
Most of the soldiers were completely dumbfounded by Tai Lan's galloping horses. Only some officers reacted and ordered their soldiers to pursue them. However, none of these commanders who dared to take the lead survived, and they were all captured by Charlie in the air. Man point to kill one by one.
The inexplicable death of one officer after another brought great fear to the surrounding soldiers. The last order of the officer before his death was ignored by them. After all, no one wanted to be the next person to die.
When Tyran arrived at the sentry tower, as expected, the place had been completely infiltrated by the three Windrunner sisters and Valeira, and all the soldiers in the sentry tower had fallen to the ground and died.
Just as Charlemagne landed next to Tailan and was about to tell him his next plan, a group of knights suddenly galloped over from the direction of the Beishan lumberyard on the side of the sentry tower.
When he saw the old man with white beard and white hair in a gorgeous priest's robe, Tailan, who was gnashing his teeth, almost squeezed out a name from between his teeth.
"Iselion!"
