Panic was still spreading endlessly.
The capital of the country was invaded, and even the Storm Fortress, which was integrated with the palace and the fortress, was lost for a time. Even if the invaders were quickly annihilated by the Sea King Duke who arrived in time, it still couldn't stop the fear in the hearts of the people from growing.
"We don't want to die! We want to live! "
"Please, let me and my child board the ship."
"His Majesty Laing can no longer defend Stormwind City. Does he want us to die with this useless king?"
Pessimism spread like a plague, and it could not be suppressed. A large number of people dragged their families to the port, begging for a ticket to a safe world.
The people who had lost their minds did not listen to the explanation of the port officials, and tried everything to rush onto the ship. There were even people who wanted to rush onto the ship when they saw the ship docked, even before the military supplies were unloaded.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Facing their own people, the guards of Stormwind City who were in charge of maintaining order did not dare to use their swords. With a moment of carelessness, a large number of people rushed onto the port after some conspirators shouted, "The city has been breached!"
If it were not for the following scene, there might have been a tragic stampede of casualties.
A strong gust of wind suddenly blew, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold air from the pier. Everyone could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in this cold wind.
A small part of the sea suddenly froze, and a huge iceberg rose from the ground, getting taller and taller.
A young man wearing the robes of the Stormwind City Royal Wizard Squad stood on it.
"Wizard! It's actually a wizard!? "
"Oh my god! He's Sea King Duque! "
The name 'Duque' seemed to have some mysterious magic power that surpassed the power of magic. As soon as the name came out, the people who were in a frenzy suddenly calmed down.
Whether it was out of a natural fear of the wizards in the mysterious realm, out of admiration for the young wizard who had become a giant in the kingdom, or out of respect for the hero who was the King of Demons Sargeras, the people stopped what they were doing.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the legendary young mage standing on the ice mountain with complicated and fearful gazes.
Duque didn't explain anything first. He raised his hand, and a lot of Hands of Magic that emitted white fluorescence suddenly appeared. They flew into the crowd like lightning and dragged several guys out.
"Ah! What are you doing!? "
"Let me go! Let me go!? "
"Mages are killing indiscriminately! Is there still any law!? "
These ruffians struggled violently, but in the face of the mysterious magic power, their struggles were meaningless.
Duque's mocking sneer spread in all directions. "Didn't you have a good time shouting 'the city is breached' just now? Shout! Why aren't you shouting? "
Just by observing with the naked eye, it was impossible to find these fellows who harbored ill intentions. However, with the help of the System Elf, he was able to find it easily.
Of course, this would be attributed to the mysteriousness of mages by the people.
Everyone's mind suddenly shook, and they immediately realized that it was these fellows who had seized the opportunity to cause trouble.
"Bastard! You actually lied to us!? "
"Liar! The crowding just now almost trampled my son to death! "
The people were naive, and seeing that there was nothing serious happening, a group of bastards came to fan the flames. They were all furious, and their attention was successfully diverted by Duque.
In the next instant, Duque's Hands of Magic grabbed the necks of these fellows who had been caught in the air.
Duque raised his hand, and a gold-edged scroll appeared in his hand. "Now, I will read the urgent imperial order of His Majesty Laing Wrynn — in view of the fact that the Beastmen have found a flaw in Stormwind's defense, I have decided to evacuate the people by sea to Southshore in the north in the next month in an orderly manner. Anyone who disturbs the order — behead! Earl Duke Marcus has the final right to interpret the order of all maritime transport. "
In fact, the imperial order was real, and the kind-hearted Laing didn't use such harsh words. In a time of great chaos, Duque just used a heavy punishment.
Gently putting away Laing 'imperial order, Duque turned his cold gaze to the few troublemakers. "According to His Majesty Wrynn's imperial order, you are now sentenced to death!"
With a snap of Duque's fingers, a dozen Hands of Magic directly dismembered these weak fellows in midair!
In the next instant, all the corpses didn't even fall to the ground. They were directly frozen into a huge ice sculpture, thundering into the sea closest to the dock. As long as one walked on the dock, one could clearly see the tragic deaths of these gangsters through the transparent ice surface.
Immediately, Duque waved his hand, and the radiance of arcane magic divided the crowd into a dozen or so huge horizontal lines.
"Now, everyone, line up with the seven arcane radiances on your body — red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple — and go to the designated dock official to receive the evacuation tickets. Anyone who disturbs the order of the dock, you'll end up like these gangsters. Don't even think of deceiving my [Mage's Eyes]. With my Eye of Heaven, anyone who sneaks onto the ship will be thrown into the middle of the sea to feed the sharks! "
With that, hundreds of strange [Mage's Eyes] suddenly appeared in midair, blinking and blinking. Everyone felt like they were being seen through.
Under Duque's deterrence, and under the supervision of the city guards who had regained their toughness, the people unknowingly returned to order.
On the balcony of Storm Fortress, Laing and the queen looked toward Storm Harbor, listening to the noise coming from afar. In their noses, the smell of blood from Storm Fortress, which had just begun to be cleaned up, was still extremely strong.
The elite Orc soldiers under Orgrim's command had not only killed a large number of imperial guards, but also many reliable servants and maids. This made the cleaning of the corpses and the fortress very slow.
Laing's furrowed brows were almost dripping water.
"My dear, I'm afraid I'm going to lose this kingdom." Laing's brows were filled with gloom. This was the first time since the start of the war that he personally admitted that his kingdom might perish.
The queen grasped Laing's large hands tightly. "At least you still have me and William, loyal subjects like Andoine, Bolvar, and Duque. There are so many soldiers who trust you, and the people …"
"The people!" There was a clear sadness in Laing's eyes.
"Any rational person would know that this is not your fault. Duque is right. This should be a crisis that the seven human kingdoms are facing together. "
"My dear, it's so good to have you." After kissing his lover, Laing turned around and entered the fortress. Then, he received news that Duque was dealing with the problem at the harbor. Regarding the following report, Laing only said one sentence.
"Got it."
