There are only a few pieces left on the square black and white chessboard, and a crystal-white slender hand taps the table hesitantly, seeming to be thinking about what to do next.
"Your Majesty, you only have one queen and two horses left. If you don't go back to protect the king, something will happen." The childish Sophie held her cheeks with a smile. She was very happy that she could make things difficult for the famous Queen of Darkness in the mainland, even though it was just a matter of time.
It was a boring game, but she was still very proud of her "feat"
Sylvanas didn't seem to hear her words. She frowned slightly and thought, even in a harmless game, the Queen still has a competitive spirit that is unmatched by others.
"Snapped!"
After thinking for a moment, the Queen lightly raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to place the Queen in an unexpected position. This not only resolved the crisis of being defeated, but also forced the other party to give up their only image.
"Ah..." Sophie, who was so proud a moment ago, opened her mouth wide and looked at the Queen in surprise who had just learned the rules less than two hours ago. Compared to her who had tortured Regan for several months, Sylvanas
His understanding can be described as genius.
"It's your turn, little Sophie," the Queen of Darkness said calmly, as if the wonderful move just now was nothing at all.
"Oh...oh," Sophie looked away and awkwardly held onto the king who was trapped in a dead end. No matter where she moved, she could not escape the opponent's attack.
"Well...here!" The elf frowned and made up his mind, moving the king one space as if he was righteous.
"Are you sure?" Sylvanas raised an eyebrow slightly, but before Sophie could react, he killed her without hesitation. Then she looked up at the elf and said, "You can give up at will."
This is not a good habit. You had at least three ways to deal with me just now, but you chose the weakest one. This makes me very disappointed... Remember, little Sophie, never give up at any time.
Even at the last moment.”
Sophie nodded as if she understood: "I will follow your teachings, Her Majesty the Queen... But compared to these, your chess skills are even more king-level! You must know that it took me two months to learn to avoid confusing the castling of the king's rook.
, and you defeated me in just an hour... Oh my god! I can’t even think of continuing to play chess now!”
"Actually, it's not that my understanding is stronger than yours, it's just that our understanding of this game is different." Facing Sophie's admiring eyes, the Queen of Darkness just smiled faintly.
"What you see is just a few chess pieces on this chessboard, a dispensable game." She knocked on the simple stone chessboard. This was Sophie's instigation to ease the boredom of being a hostage.
Poor Roxus got a big stone slab and built it
"But what I saw was a war without gunpowder. Each chess piece has its own mission and tasks, whether to contain, attack, or defend. They are like different living individuals, and they need to be given by the chess player.
Vitality, rather than rigid implementation of various boring tactics...It is precisely because of this that I was able to defeat you in such a short period of time."
"Well...although I don't understand it very well, you are really a wise king!" Sophie yawned slightly, obviously feeling uncomfortable after staying up all night.
Sylvanas smiled noncommittally, and was about to point out this cute elf girl again, but was interrupted by a burst of rapid footsteps.
"Your Majesty, there is important information from the Scarlet Front. Lord Varimathras respectfully invites you to return to the palace to discuss related matters!" A terror guard walked into the room and half-knelt on the ground, reporting with unconcealed joy.
"Have all the Scarlet Crusaders been wiped out?" Sylvanas did not stand up, but asked while playing with the chess pieces in her hand. She glanced at Sophie, whose face turned worried, and added lightly, "It's still from Knight Regan.
Are you saying that the surrender worked and made those die-hard guys put down their weapons?"
"My king is wise! It was the human knight who said he surrendered all the Crusaders. At this moment, they are coming to the Undercity to surrender under the leadership of Nathanos and Putres!" What the Terror Guard said.
It made Sophie feel relieved, knowing that she had been worried about her lover all night
"Your Majesty, let's go there now! Regan has been running around all night, and he should be very tired now!" Sophie stood up eagerly and begged.
"Don't worry, lovely elf girl," Sylvanas stroked Sophie's satin-like hair and vaguely saw her young self. She sighed secretly in her heart and comforted her with a smile, "Your knight can
As a strong man facing the Lich King alone, it doesn't matter if he misses one night's sleep. It's just that you didn't close your eyes all night and played chess with me for a long time. You are the one who really needs to rest."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but no matter how prominent Regan's status becomes in the future, as his fiancée, I should always stand by his side," Sophie said stubbornly.
"Okay, little Sophie, I promise you." Sylvanas shook her head helplessly. Although this legendary woman, as the head of a country, has experienced countless bloody storms, she never changed her mind from before her death to her death.
She has never experienced the taste of love, so naturally she cannot know the feelings of a lover who is passionately in love.
The Dark Queen turned to the Terror Guards and ordered: "Tell Varimathras to lead his people to quickly build a surrender platform. I want all my subjects to see this moment! See us truly rule Lordaeron.
moment!”

Damn it!”
"Is that the leader of the Scarlet Crusade? Why is he wearing the clothes of the Silver Hand?"
"Hey, man, stop squeezing me!"
As soon as he entered the old city gate of Lordaeron, Regan's ears were filled with such sounds. When the Forsaken civilians who usually rarely went out on the ground learned that the Crusaders had surrendered, they all came out of the Undercity to stop and watch, with hatred in their eyes.
and pointing cheerfully
"By the Holy Light, if I still have weapons in my hands, I will definitely chop these pieces of rotten flesh into pieces!" Herod complained in a low voice, but it was just a complaint, because their weapons were long gone.
They were taken away by Nathanos' men. Now among the thousands of people, only the staff in White's hand is still there.
"Quiet, Herod," the female prosecutor beside her frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "When we made that shameful decision, the result was obvious. In this case, now we have no choice but to endure!
"
"I understand...but thinking about the insult I will suffer later, I would rather go back to the monastery and let the undead blow me up directly!" Herod replied with a wry smile.
"So, this is the trial..." Regen, who was walking in front, did not look back, still moving forward under the strange eyes, "Uther taught us that glory is our life, but the Silver Hand eventually fell apart, and only
It ended in a tragic ending of total destruction; Arthas abandoned everything just for revenge, but finally fell into Ner'zhul's trap and put on that evil helmet... I am not qualified to preach to you, but please don't forget these lessons.
As a Paladin, eradicating evil is our top priority. In the face of victory, our own honor and disgrace can only take a back seat!"
Listening to his deviant words, White and Herod couldn't help but look at each other, but they had to admit that all this was true: the knights of the Silver Hand era abided by their creed, advocated fair duels, and rarely used seemingly invisible weapons in battle.
Although these qualities are praised by the world, they also became the main reason for the annihilation of the entire army in the natural disaster war.
Facing the endless army of undead, whether it is a large-scale frontal battle or a small group encounter, the knights' only tactic is to charge in groups, using the iron hoofs of war horses and the blade of holy light to smash all enemies who dare to block it, but natural disasters
Under the leadership of the cunning lich Kel'Thuzad, the Legion never shied away from those dirty tricks: infecting water and food with plague, and returning humans who were about to be tortured to death back to the Silver Hand Barracks, making the natural disaster virus spread even more.
Quick... No matter what the plan is, as long as it can defeat the knights of the Silver Hand, Kel'Thuzad will never let go
White and Herod, whose fathers were both Knights of the Silver Hand, naturally knew about that past event. At this moment, after what Regen said, they seemed to have realized something. Maybe there is more than one way to serve the Holy Light. Let's take a look.
What miracles this young dragon slayer will create!
"Everyone," Nathanos, who was walking at the front, stopped in front of the elevator, with no expression in his hazy eyes, "Although I personally don't have a good impression of you, before entering the Undercity,
I still want to advise you not to offend the people of the Undercity with your ridiculous dignity. Keeping yourself useful is your most urgent matter right now..."
More than a thousand bloody warriors crowded into the narrow passage and looked at him without saying a word. It seemed that these fanatics were also ready to accept the facts.
The Blighter gave Ragen a questioning look, and when the knight nodded slightly, he opened the doors of all the elevators: "Then please come in, everyone... I hope you can make it to Stormwind City alive."
——As Nathanos said, every Crusader walked out of the elevator with eyes of hatred. Unlike the indifferent condemnation of the civilians just now, the eyes that were shot at them now were full of hatred.
There was a strong murderous intention, and most of it came from the undead soldiers on both sides of the road. Too many of them died under the sword of the Crusaders. This hatred cannot be solved with a letter of surrender.
There was something wrong in Regan's mind. Although he didn't know what Sylvanas was planning at the moment, so many hostile warriors had been placed in the trade area since the beginning. It was obvious that the queen did not intend to let him take him away easily.
All the crusaders, but at this moment, he no longer allowed him to think too much, he could only bite the bullet and show off his tactics.
"The Queen of Darkness ordered the Scarlet Crusade Prosecutor White Mane and the garrison captain Herod to go to the surrender platform to perform the surrender ceremony. The rest of the Crusaders followed the Stormwind Knight Christine Regan to observe! The above will be implemented immediately.
There must be no mistake!" A royal terror guard walked up to the crowd and said, his cold voice was just like the face under his hood.
Regen glanced at Nathanos and saw that he also had a surprised expression. It seemed that he didn't know anything about it.
"We are following the Queen's instructions, and I would like to ask you to lead the way." Regan thought for a moment and nodded to the guard who was delivering the message.
"Then come with me. Your Majesty and Lord Varimathras are waiting for you in the great circle."
