Claudia's movements are fast.

In fact, regardless of whether the council approved the appropriation or not, Claudia was ready to send troops from the beginning, and she began to arrange preparations for battle yesterday.

So when several members of the noble council were gathering for lunch to celebrate the victory, they were caught off guard by the news.

Duke Visak was surprised and asked, "What do you say, General Jerichta has already begun to leave the city with his sailors." ”

The attendant who reported the news hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord, this is what my subordinates have just seen with their own eyes. ”

"But where did she get the money?" Duke Olseus Leskova asked the other members of the group.

Naturally, it was impossible for the attendants to know where the queen's money came from, but the Earl of Remington gave the answer after thinking about it: "The queen regent should use her own money, and she also borrowed some of it, and it is very likely that the money was lent to her by Her Royal Highness Gianna." ”

"I'll admit I've lost my eyes, these two women are so bold," Duke Visak said with a wry smile, "and I'm starting to admire them a little." ”

"That woman is risking the fate of our entire kingdom with her, and we should find a way to stop her!" Aldous squealed.

Duke Visak's face regained his composure, shook his head, and sighed:

"What we can't stop, it can be said that it is our duty to debate in the parliament in the morning, and now that the queen has borrowed money for military expenses, it will be bad for us to block it again, after all, we need this kind of rule between us and the royal family."

The other nobles were silent for a while, acquiescing to Duke Visak's words, the relationship between the royal family and the nobles is both a struggle and a cooperative relationship, and there have been tacit understandings and rules for hundreds of years, and this tacit understanding is also one of the foundations of the royal family and the aristocracy, which cannot be easily broken.

Aldous still tried to say something: "But...... But....... ”

"No, but!" Duke Visak said categorically, "At this point, it is in the interest of all of us that only the Queen Regent wins!" Now let's pray that the queen will win, or ......."

Although Duke Vyshak did not finish his words, the nobles had already understood what he meant, once the queen was defeated, Stormwind City, which had no available troops in the end, would be in danger, and once Stormwind City fell, everyone from the commoners to the nobles would suffer huge losses, and no one would be pleased.

Naturally, the civilians of Stormwind City also noticed the movement of the army, and on both sides of the marching army, there were whispers of discussion in the crowd from time to time.

"The queen is going to send troops? Why isn't she defending in Stormwind? ”

"After all, there are our compatriots in the Twilight Forest and Red Ridge Mountain, and the queen wants to rescue them, after all, she has always been kind-hearted."

"But being kind-hearted doesn't mean that she can lead the troops into battle, what if something happens to her?"

The people watched the departure of the army with sad faces, and in addition to the fact that they were not optimistic about Claudia's military operation, a civilian whispered something that many people were embarrassed to say:

"But I think it's more important for us to be in Stormwind, my family is all in Stormwind, why don't we prioritize defending Stormwind, what does it matter to us whether people live or die in other places."

Many civilians acquiesced to this man's words, but some relatives and friends in the Red Ridge Mountain or the Twilight Forest began to refute him, and Claudia, who was riding a war horse not far away, glanced thoughtfully in this direction, and the civilians suddenly stopped talking.

Claudia's face was as usual, but her heart was not at all calm, and a phrase she had heard once again sounded in her ears: "The will of the people is never enough to rely on, because the people are the most short-sighted, the most easily satisfied, and therefore the most fickle." ”

In the face of hard facts, Claudia had to admit that she was a complete loser in the controversy she once had.

"Maybe I'm not a good ruler, but I must do my best to do my best, and I must protect this country and his people for Varian until he returns, starting with this battle."

Claudia secretly made up her mind and marched towards the twilight forest with the royal knights.

Yes, Claudia has mobilized sailors, but they will not be involved in her battle in the Twilight Forest, and they will travel to the northern checkpoint of Red Ridge Mountain under the leadership of General Jeresta to meet the levies of Red Ridge Mountain for defensive operations.

The reason for this decision is that Claudia is sure that she can defeat the trolls in the Valley of Thorns without sailors, and the sailors are too slow to move, the royal knights are one man and two horses, and there are towns along the road to replenish without carrying baggage, it is estimated that the battle in the Twilight Forest can catch up with the pace of the sailors after the battle, and finally have a decisive battle with the Blackstone Orcs in Red Ridge Mountain.

Two days later, in the morning, on the outskirts of Night Town, a battle was about to break out.

"Your Majesty, the militia of Night Town has been assembled." Militia commander Altea bowed to Claudia.

Claudia instructed: "Well done, Althea, your militia is the reserve on the battlefield today, and will be responsible for mending the knife and cutting off the head later, and we will not leave any prisoners in today's battle." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Althea verbally agreed, she still doubted that in her opinion, the enemy was far stronger than her own, and it would be a tough battle today, and she wondered why the queen had a winning expression.

Like Althea, the leaders of the trolls, such as the leader of the trolls, Mandokir, were excitedly saying to the two high-ranking priests beside him:

"The black-haired woman's information is really correct, the human kingdom is really extremely weak, and even the queen herself went out to fight with such a small number of troops."

High Priest Yecreek said disdainfully: "It is estimated that she is proud that the reinforcements she brought are all professionals, but what she probably doesn't know is that with the help of Luoa, there are many more professionals than her today." ”

The high-ranking priest Vinosis also smiled cruelly: "It's time to destroy Stormwind City, so that not only can we have enough humans to sacrifice to the great Loa god Haka, but we can also use this glorious victory to subdue the Bloodtop Clan and the Skull Splitting Clan, and rebuild the Gulabash Empire!" ”

After hearing the words of Vinnosis, the priests present and the leader Mandukir all said with fanatical expressions: "All for the glory of Gulabash, all for the great god Hakka of Loa." ”

The battle began shortly after.

"For the glory of Gulabash!"

"For the great Loa god Haka!"

Thousands of troll warriors, sacrifices, hunters roared feverishly these two slogans began to approach the human queue, under the propaganda of the priests, all ordinary troll warriors know the purpose of today's battle, as long as this battle is won, human beings will no longer have the power to resist, the Gulabash trolls are about to rise again, rebuild the Gulabash Empire!

Compared to the trolls, the human queue was quiet, and these royal knights were the most elite warriors, and they had faced countless tough battles, including the battle for the survival of the world at Hyjal, which was called Ragnarok, and the battle in front of them was only a small scene in front of them.

Claudia was standing in the middle of the first row of the royal knights, she looked at the trolls who were getting closer and closer, and calmly ordered, "Now get on your horse and prepare to charge." ”

"Today's battle, leave no prisoners, for the alliance!"

"For the Alliance!"

The royal knights quickly turned on their horses and aimed at the army of trolls on the opposite side, and began to charge and speed up.

Thundered!

The charge of the heavily armored iron knight was as fierce as ever, and the earth began to tremble violently, as if countless mountain giants were wielding their heavy hammers to hammer the ground!

The earth trembled more and more violently, and the royal knights in the front row were already rapidly approaching the troll queue like a steel wall, and the troll warriors in the front row were already instinctively pale.

"Get ready for battle! Don't mess around! As long as they don't mess with us, we can't do anything! Mandogir roared, he was right, even if it was a heavy cavalry, it would be tantamount to suicide to ram into the well-organized infantry.

But the premise is that the infantry must remain unflustered and the array must be tightly organized.

Claudia knew this, of course, but she had no doubt that she could destroy the troll queue, because the sword in her hand was her biggest hole card, which was the sword of human kingship, the artifact of the troll nemesis, Stomka.

The royal knights in the first row of charges were thirty paces away from the troll warriors, and the troll priests were about to cast their magic, when Claudia tore off the black cloth wrapped around Stumka, and a thought flashed:

"Please, Sdomka."

Sdomka's excited voice rang in Claudia's head: "No problem, it's time for the trolls to understand my horror again, I can't wait to drink the blood and soul of the trolls again!" ”

As the words fell, a special wave flashed, and the trolls in the front row of the trolls stood for a moment before they began to run desperately as if they had seen a ghost, and began to cry wildly:

"The sword! How could that sword be so powerful! ”

"I'm surrounded by ghosts!"

"My ancestors are screaming!"

"I smell the blood of my people!"

"No...... No! ”

Satisfied with the effect he had caused, Stamma laughed heartily: "Hahaha, yes, that's it, run away!" Cry! Call it! Then, just die! ”

Everywhere Claudia went, countless strong troll warriors and priests turned their heads and ran frantically as if they had seen ghosts, and the royal knights chased after them, rushing towards the trolls' own queue, the speed of the troll army collapsed like an avalanche, and the trolls were cut to the ground by the royal knights like cutting leeks.

"Can't run, can't run, we're far more numerous than humans, for the sake of Haka, rush forward!"

High Priest Vinoxis endured the trembling sensation that came from the depths of his soul, and roared anxiously as he tried to use spells to redeem his decline.

But instead of doing much to the troll warriors, his roar caught Claudia's attention, and in the next moment, Claudia teleported straight to Vinnosis, who slashed at Vinnosis with a terrible whistling.

"Hex!"

Vinnosis roared, and his heart was also cold, a spell was about to be released on Claudia, and Claudia still swung her sword quickly, only the silver in her eyes became more and more intense.

Bang!

Vinnosis's life-saving spell was destroyed, and then he was slashed in two by Claudia's sword, but Winosis still issued a vicious curse before he died: "Mortal, if you kill the high priest of Haka, Haka will not let you go!" ”

As the curse fell, a faint faint fluctuation in the void was about to come, but a mysterious sigil in Claudia's eyebrows suddenly appeared, and her eyes also looked at the void with dazzling silver light, and snorted coldly: "Get out!" ”

Rumble!

There was a thunderous roar in the void, and a powerful consciousness let out an unwilling roar, but it eventually slowly receded.

At the same time, the High Priestess Jecreek, who was casting a spell, shuddered and suddenly screamed, "No, no, that woman, she is not mortal!" We're no match for her, run! ”

As the words fell, Yecreek quickly tore open a spell scroll and disappeared into the battlefield, and after hearing Yecreek's words, the trolls became even more panicked.

Hush-!

Claudia whistled, and her horse, Ormont, quickly ran to Claudia's side, she turned on her horse, and shouted to the left and right: "Keep chasing, leave no one alive!" ”

"Kill! Leave no mouth alive! The roars of the royal knights echoed through the battlefield.
