Twenty minutes later, in the mountains behind Stormwind, outside the forging hall.

The void was torn apart, and a purple-black portal opened, through which Claudia and Gianna stepped in.

Gianna glanced at the earth spirit not far away and said, "Sure enough, as we guessed in advance, this place has not been affected yet. ”

"Something must not be done too outrageously, otherwise even if she has the king in her hands, everyone will suspect that the king is in trouble."

Claudia replied, reaching out to a earth spirit, asking about what had happened these days.

Sure enough, this earth spirit didn't know anything, the forging hall didn't welcome mortals to visit in the first place, and the earth spirit itself was not interested in the life of mortals at all, so naturally it couldn't provide useful information, Claudia and Gianna could only walk down the mountain along a path towards Stormwind City.

In Stormwind, the atmosphere was much more tense, the streets were full of guards, heavily armed, patrolling the streets, and the ordinary people were obviously much less than usual, and most of them were in groups of three or five, filled with righteous indignation.

In this case, the sudden appearance of unfamiliar faces is sure to attract unwanted attention, Claudia and Gianna hide in the shadows, and with Gianna's magic, they can hear clearly from a long distance.

“…… Those black iron dwarves really didn't want to die, and they even dared to attack Storm Fortress in the early hours of this morning. ”

"I heard that the dwarf area has suffered a lot of damage, and I can see those explosions at home."

"Her Majesty the Queen Regent is good at everything, but she is too merciful, and she even believes that the Black Iron Dwarves will change their ways, and when the Queen Regent returns, they will be good-looking!"

……

Claudia couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she looked at the posture of the soldiers on the street, she thought it was a military coup against her forces, but now it seems that this is not the case, what does this have to do with the Black Iron Dwarves?

Gianna's attention was elsewhere, in the psychic connection, and Gianna spoke:

"Claudia, judging by the words of the people, they don't know that Varian has returned, which means that Catlana is not in control of the situation."

"In that case, we have to speed up our operations, and hopefully Madias will still be in MI7 after this happens."

"Even then, don't worry, we can use a backup plan then."

When the conversation ended, Claudia and Gianna went into action, and the two of them walked through the shadows, skimming through the streets towards the old house where MI7 was stationed.

Claudia went to Madias, partly because Madias controlled the Alliance's most powerful secret service, and because Madias was loyal, but more importantly, Madias could never be on Catlana's side.

Matthias knew the inside story of Varian's kidnapping best, and it was he who was the first to point out to Claudia that Katrana was behind Varian's kidnapping and the vicious series of events.

If it is in peacetime, it is naturally not so easy to infiltrate MI7, but Claudia is like the king of shadows at this time, and the level of mastery of shadows is very high, and Gianna also has a shadow that can perfectly hide her leaves, even if occasionally an agent feels that something is wrong, Claudia, a general agent who misleads the past, will only doze off and turn his attention elsewhere.

In this case, Claudia and Gianna made it to the old house of MI7 headquarters, where Matthias was luckily.

After a brief identification, Claudia and Matthias were alone in the room and asked about her most concerns, her children, her sister, and the ...... Varian's condition.

"His Majesty the King should not be an impostor, it feels more like he was controlled by Katrana, but I can't be sure about the specific situation, at present, His Royal Highness Angela and His Royal Highness Anduin are still in the palace, but there should be no danger for a while, and as for His Royal Highness Barathan, he was rescued by our people in the early hours of this morning, and he is currently safe."

"My Barathan was rescued?" Claudia's spirits perked up when she heard this, and this was the first good news she had learned today.

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's in the wee hours of this morning......" Matthias explained the situation succinctly.

After the return of Varian and Catlana, the nobles who supported Varian entered the Stormwind Fortress with their guards, took control of it, and declared martial law on the fortress.

Matthias immediately noticed that something was wrong, he was most worried about the safety of Prince Baracen, and the reason was very simple, Baracen had a special identity, he was the future king of Lordaeron, and it was related to the stability and peace of the entire alliance, so Madias arranged a kidnapping operation to rescue Prince Baracen.

The reason why it was a kidnapping operation is because even though MI7, like many people, felt that the current king had a problem, after all, they nominally swore allegiance to the king, and it was impossible to confront it head-on, so they could only make this a kidnapping case, disguised as a kidnapping by a hostile force, and the hostile forces were also ready-made, and Matthias found Thorrison the Great.

You know, it's not just Claudia's children who are trapped in the Stormwind Fortress, but also Princess Moira, the wife of King Thoreson, Matthias listed a lot of facts, and on the grounds that Catlana would destroy the alliance between Stormwind and Ironforge and Darkforrd by killing Princess Moella, it was easy to persuade Emperor Thoreson, who was worried about the safety of his wife and children, to intervene in the rescue operation.

Then the matter is very simple, with the deliberate indulgence and cooperation of MI7 agents, the Black Iron Dwarves led the Black Iron Dwarves into the Stormwind Fortress through the secret passage in the early hours of this morning, and after a scuffle, the Black Iron Dwarves turned the Storm Fortress upside down, kidnapped Princess Moira, and the agents took advantage of the chaos to rescue Barracen.

Originally, the agents also wanted to rescue Princess Angela and Prince Anduin, but unfortunately, the manpower to the other two rooms was unsuccessful, but Partris took advantage of the chaos to join the Black Iron Dwarves under the cover of the elven mercenary Segrina, and finally fled into the defunct Stormwind subway.

"Wait, you mean my sister got into the subway in the wee hours of the morning?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Matthias in the affirmative, "it will not be wrong for our men to see with their own eyes the subway from which she and Princess Moira have fled together." ”

"But my sister is in danger now! In the middle of the day, the amulet I gave her shattered, and it was a prop that would only be triggered when there was a deadly threat. ”

"That's strange...... "Madias frowned, "the people in charge of chasing them are obviously Baron Eberlock and an unknown warlock named Wilfred Fitzban, according to my speculation, Baron Eberlock has always been tactful, it is impossible to offend Your Majesty and the dwarves to death, right, is there something wrong with the dwarf sorcerer?" ”

"No matter what the problem is, I'm going to find my sister now, I have to see people in life and see corpses in death." Claudia stood up.

Matthias tried to dissuade: "But Your Majesty, they have been gone for almost a day, you can't catch up, and you have finally returned, Stormwind City still needs you to preside over the overall situation against Catlana." ”

‘…… Look, look, our darlings, and the big picture, these cowardly mortals always ask you to sacrifice in the name of your country, and have become accustomed to it, even if you are bruised all over your body, they will turn a blind eye......

Claudia rejected Madias's offer and sighed, "I'm sorry, Madias, but I made a vow on my father's deathbed that as long as this body survives, I will do everything to protect my sister and keep her away from all harm, and today, it is time for me to fulfill my vow." ”

"But don't worry, Madias, my speed will be as fast as you can imagine, I will definitely be able to catch up with them, as long as my sister's whereabouts are confirmed, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible."
