Chapter 117: The Princess's Order
The resplendent Lordaeron Palace, the lavish scene dazzled Blackmore a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it was a normal day, he would definitely appreciate these things, but now he was only nervous.
Because he was the manager of the asylum that had let all the orcs go, and he had come to report to His Highness the King.
"Blackmore, it's your turn!" A high-pitched voice rang out.
"Good, good!" Blackmore nodded flatteringly to the Chamberlain, and then followed him into the depths of the palace.
There was actually a young girl sitting on the throne, which made Blackmore stunned, and he had the impression that King Terenus was already an old man over half a hundred years old, how could he become like this......
"Don't hurry up and salute Queen Galia!" The internal official on the side shouted in a low voice.
Blackmore reacted at this time, made a noble salute, and then said as elegantly as possible: "Lieutenant Adhras Blackmore, the administrator of the Dunhold Orc Shelter, has met Her Royal Highness!" β
"Very good, please get up!" Jialia said with a smile.
She looked at the lieutenant named Blackmore, and thought to herself that this was a very strong and somewhat handsome man, and I am afraid that he must be a valiant knight like this.
"What's the matter?" Galia asked.
"A group of orcs raided our shelter in Dunholden, and this cunning group of orcs somehow got a map of the entire shelter and let go of most of the orcs in the night, and I led the guards to fight to the death, and finally had to retreat and turn to Lordaeron for help......" Blackmore said with a hard face.
"What!"
"The orcs have fled!"
"How so!"
The ministers of Lordaeron immediately talked about it, and the paladin Uther-Lightbringer who was standing at the forefront also frowned.
"Those stupid orcs will run away?" Galia was stunned, remembering that when she was a child, she had gone to the orc shelter with Arthas, and the orcs there were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to resist when they were whipped, and they would run away?
But she certainly wouldn't ask such a naΓ―ve question on the throne, and she quickly made herself serious and continued, "Can you tell me more about what you have been through, Mr. Blackmore?" β
As she asked, Galia stole a glance at her father behind the tent.
She thought it would be better to leave such an important matter to her father, but unfortunately she could only faintly hear the snoring of King Terenus.
The elderly king, after the loss of his son, became quite decadent, and the affairs of state were left to his only daughter.
"About a thousand elite orcs from Mount Alterac attacked our castle, our entire guard was only five hundred combat-ready soldiers, and they also released many prisoners from the shelter, and we fought for hours, defeated many attacks by the orcs, and finally had no choice but to retreat before the orcs surrounded the castle......" Blackmore continued to bite the head, trying to explain the fact that he had retreated without a fight as much as possible.
Galia nodded and sighed, "You're so brave, Lieutenant!" β
Blackmore opened his mouth slightly, he was a little suspicious that this young princess had a bad head, and actually said that she was brave as a defeated general?
Uther also couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed and stood up, and asked coldly at Blackmore: "As the leader of the asylum, the alliance has invested so much money in you, you should make all preparations to prevent orc attacks, and you told me that you only supported for a few hours and ran away?" β
Blackmore bowed his head a little timidly, for Uther had pointed out the substance in one sentence.
"Also, the map of the shelter should be your most important thing, and you actually let it fall into the hands of the orcs for no apparent reason?" Uther continued to question.
Blackmore almost fell to his knees in fright, and listened to Lord Uther's tone, as if he was going to send himself to the gallows.
He was just about to plead, but he didn't expect Jialia's voice to sound.
"Lord Uther, why are you so angry, there are so many orc attacks, and Mr. Blackmore doesn't have much to do, even if he holds up for a few more hours, it won't make a difference!" Galia's voice was crisp.
Blackmore almost knelt down and kissed the princess's feet, he had no idea that she would speak to him.
"Well, it's up to you, Your Highness!" Uther nodded, no matter what, Galia would be the future Queen of Lordaeron, and he had to follow her advice.
"Then let Mr. Blackmore lead a force to recapture Dunhold Castle, can you?" Galia smiled and said, "You think you must be a brave knight, you can do this!" β
Blackmore felt that this was pie in the sky, and he came to Lordaeron to ask for his guilt after losing the battle, but instead of accepting any punishment, he looked like this, and seemed to be promoted?
"Your Royal Highness!" Uther couldn't help but speak, "If you want to fight back against the orcs, I suggest sending a more suitable person." β
"Good!" Galia nodded hurriedly to Uther, and she seemed to find it unreliable to have a lieutenant in command of an army: "Lord Uther, do you have any suitable candidates?" β
"Mayor Marebu of Nanhai Town, he is a very experienced commander against orcs!" Uther suggested.
"Mareb?" Jialia frowned, she couldn't help but think of the old drunkard who was full of nonsense, is this kind of person really suitable to be the leader of an army?
"Count me in, Lord Uther, Your Highness!" A middle-aged man walked out.
"Marshal Garissus?" Galia looked at the majestic knight.
"Let Mayor Marebu lead the militia to attack from the south in Nanhai Town, and I am willing to lead an army to attack from the north and work together to exterminate this group of stubborn orcs, I believe that I am not short of experience in the battle of the orcs!" Garissus said confidently.
"Garithers......" Uther muttered, his plan was to attack the orcs from the north and south at the same time, but he had planned to attack from the north with his own army.
Uther thought about it, Gather was indeed a commander who had made a lot of contributions in World War II, and was very experienced in orc warfare, so there should be no problem with handing over this mission to him.
Uther nodded.
"Alright then, over to you, Marshal Garithar!" Jialia said with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Blackmore: "Let Mr. Blackmore be your lieutenant, I am sure he will know a lot about the situation over there!" β
Generalissimo Garrison nodded solemnly: "Yes, Your Highness!" β
