Varian used all his strength to control his anger, and as a brilliant ruler, he was not angry with the bad things of others. But everyone could see that their king was now like a bomb with a fuse, on the verge of detonating at any moment. Everyone became cautious and didn't want to be the one who lit the fuse.

"The space here has been rudely torn apart by the demons and has become unstable, we must set up an outpost here to monitor the spatial changes here at any time, otherwise, this place may be used by the demons at any time as a breakthrough for jump teleportation!" Although he didn't want to touch his head at this time, Andomas still insisted that this was his responsibility, and he had to say it.

"Well, do what you want." The King frowned and nodded in agreement, he turned his head and looked at Bolval with a blazing gaze, "I think what I need most now is a new war command room!" Those demons want war, then give them war! ”

"If you wish, you can go to the East Ballroom first, where there is plenty of space." The Duke suggested.

"Good advice." The king pondered for a few seconds, and found the palace in his mind, which was originally used for festive banquets, but after returning to Stormwind, he had not used it for so long that he had almost forgotten its existence.

He slowly exhaled the turbid breath from his chest and walked towards the water's edge, but he quickly stopped and turned back to find Diego in the crowd.

"Diego, my Earl of Mooncreek, come with me and let me thank our savior!" He shouted affectionately.

……

It took them two quarters of an hour to return to the palace. Along the way, the king listened carefully to how Diego discovered the demons' disguises, how he killed them, and then infiltrated the palace and finally launched a surprise attack in the garden.

"Bolval, it seems that my palace defenses are really full of holes!" After listening to Diego's story, he turned his head to look at his regent and said dissatisfied. Immediately afterward, he turned around again and looked at Diego seriously, "But, what I want to say: well done! Diego, your outstanding performance has saved the last vestiges of my dignity from being engraved with the epitaph, 'This unsuspecting foolish king died in a crude demonic raid'! You know, for a king, glory is more important than life! ”

"Your Majesty, it is my dereliction of duty that has brought you to shame!" On the side, the Duke of Berval knelt down on one knee with shame on his face and blamed himself. Behind him, more than a dozen Kingdom generals knelt on the ground, without exception, all of them with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"I will not forgive you for your mistakes, but I will not punish you now, I only hope that you can use the victory of this war to wash away today's shame!" The king looked at the generals solemnly, then took a bunch of short throwing spears with griffon's feathers stuck in the end of his squire, and threw them in front of them, "Begin to assemble my legions, gentlemen, I am watching you!" ”

With the sound of armor rings, the generals rose from the ground. They each drew one of the short spears, and then gave the king a beating on his chest, and left in silence.

It was a token of the legionnaires' conscription, and after the victory of the Orc War, the Kingdom of Stormwind launched a nationwide war mobilization for the first time.

The war is about to begin!

……

"I'm sorry, Diego, for using you as a whetstone to inspire my generals, who are afraid that they will remember you for the rest of their lives, because it is your excellence that makes them so incompetent." In the east banquet hall, the king smiled and apologized. He chose to tell Diego openly about his intentions to do so, and did not want the latter to feel guilty.

"My pleasure, Your Majesty!" Diego shrugged his shoulders, what else could he say?

"Well, Diego, you said you came to the palace with the intention of seeing me," the king sat down at a table and motioned for Diego to do the same, "then, what do you have to say?" ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, I have here a letter from Waynes, the commander of the Watchtower," replied Diego, swallowing and deciding that it would be better to say it directly, "The Dark Door has been opened again!" ”

"Bang dang!" Bolvar, who had just brought the glass to his lips, let go of his hand and dropped it on the table, spilling water all over the table, some of which wet the burqa on his chest.

The king did not reproach the duke for his gaffes, in fact, he was in the same shock.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" The King asked incredulously.

Diego didn't speak, but took the letterhead out of his bag and handed it over.

The king took it, unsealed it, opened it, and began to read. As he read it word by line, his expression became heavier and heavier, until he finished reading it all, Varian's brow furrowed like a knot made by a sailor.

He casually handed the letterhead to Bolval, and then looked at Diego worriedly.

"Okay, tell me from the beginning, what the hell is going on?"

Diego took a sip from his glass, letting the cold spring water moisten his throat, and began to start from the beginning.

"It all started when I was in Minethil Port......"

This time, unlike the last time he briefed MI7, when Matthias Schauer was dismissive, the king listened very carefully, and in some of Diego's vague and vague words, he would ask serious questions to try to understand the ins and outs, and later, the Duke of Berval, who had read the letterhead, joined in. Diego was overwhelmed by all sorts of sharp questions that went straight to the essence of the matter, and for him, many sources of information and information based on his past life experience were difficult to disclose, and just explaining their origins was enough of a headache.

Although Diego had tried to be as concise as possible, it still took him more than an hour to tell the whole story. At the end of the speech, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when his mouth was dry, and then picked up the water cup and drank it happily. It was the first time he had told a story that was so painful - he spent most of the hour or so filling in the gaps, and to be honest, he was about to run out of things.

"I really don't know that you have secretly done so much for Stormwind!" Varian patted Diego on the shoulder vigorously and said with emotion.

Diego smiled and didn't speak, but in his heart, there was still a sense of accomplishment that "you finally know what Lao Tzu has done all these years". That's right, sullen like him, he also hopes that his efforts and achievements will be appreciated, and he can't avoid the great satisfaction brought by being affirmed. Even if there are only two people who know all this now, but a king and a duke, this quality is enough to make up for the lack of quantity, isn't it?

"So, what is the purpose of the demons' raid on the palace this time? They seem to be looking for something. Bolval asked, puzzled. They were pressed almost as soon as they began. Confined to the war command room, it is not clear what is happening outside. A lot of things are judged by guesswork.

They could vaguely guess that the demons' surprise attack was not aimed at beheading the king, otherwise they would not have scattered their men and rioted all over the palace after gaining an overwhelming advantage. While this seemingly aimless approach is demonic, no one would believe that the attack was unprovoked.

"When I was in the Cursed Lands, I once heard from a Gangar captive that the demons were looking for something called the Dragonlord's Blade Shard, but this Gangar's status was too low and his knowledge was limited," Diego speculated wildly as if he hadn't taken it seriously before, pretending to think of it by chance, "Maybe it has something to do with this raid?" ”

Across from him, Varian and Boval fell silent.
