Chapter 80: Feint Battle (I)

After the passion, my heart no longer feels as unshaken as before, but some regret and confusion....I really didn't think that she would answer my question like this, maybe this means that she will also represent her traditional racial concept, which means that after she knows my current relationship with Orgrim, she will....

I don't dare to think about it, maybe I can just avoid that from happening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After twenty days of my long-dragging trail, we finally returned to the realm of Lordaeron. As soon as I arrived, I was told by the border agents that two orc camps near Stratholme had been captured.

"There is no news of civilians being killed. Falik asked the captain first, apparently just concerned about that.

"Not really. The man shook his head, even sighed and said he didn't understand. "Even our captives were safely released, which made Lord Balthus even suspect that they were traitors to the orcs. ”

"Oh...."

Everyone became unusually relaxed when they heard this, but then they turned their eyes to me to see what I could do. Yes, what can I do about it, it's nothing more than pretending to be serious, otherwise it will definitely make some people suspicious.

"I see, I'll gather some troops to destroy these orcs, but I'll have to go back first. I addressed my subordinates, but the impatient Sylvanas objected to such a decision

"Arthas, we should just destroy their main force and bring those orcs to justice. His words were echoed with the support of all his subordinates. "We don't have time to get back to your main city of Lordaeron. ”

"I know, Sylvanas, but what I do know is that this group of orcs may be stronger than the one in Blackstone Mountain, so I hope I need a stronger force....." I said this against my will, and it was at this time that I came up with a good idea: "You can bring a letter to Prince Kael'thas and ask him to send more troops to support me." ”

"Then I'll go now. With that, Sylvanas nodded goodbye to me with a look in her eyes and ran in the direction of Dalaran.

Watching her leave, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, yes, I have a gap with Kael'thas, and the current Terrans also have a bad relationship with the elves, so he will not send troops to support me, whether in public or private. If we do this, we may even take back this group of rangers and let those orcs escape and threaten the alliance.....

Actually, I hope he can do this, even if not, at least he can get rid of his elves for a while and discuss countermeasures with everyone.

"Then let's go back to the main city first. "I ordered my men to move on, and the rangers didn't look unwell under the leadership of Winlessa. I didn't worry about anything, just waited for the next night.

"Arthas, I don't think it's better for us to stay in Stormwind than you want. "In the evening, when Winlessa and Ronin had settled the rangers and mages and had another campfire conversation, Ronin came up and objected to me, and I can only be honest with this, yes, the matter is a bit urgent, and I can't hide anything from everyone to show that I am 'smart'. But before I could explain, the Ranger continued to question.

"You want to understand what you're doing?" Wen Lesa asked with the same seriousness, "Sister, she will never agree with the orcs, do you want to go to war with the orcs?"

"It was a mistake I made. But there is no way, since we are here, we have to find a way to resolve this matter peacefully. ”

"Let the orcs escape, and let Sylvanas and the others accept them?"

"You have to make everyone accept orcs, Your Highness, it's impossible. ”

I sighed at Melwin and Falik's confession, and motioned for them to let go of the question.

"I never thought of everyone accepting orcs at this time, I just want Orgrim's plan to succeed and get a piece of my own territory, that's all. ”

"Then we can only take the form militarily and avoid conflict with the orcs. Luo Ning understood what I meant, although he thought of a way for me, and everyone agreed with it, but his face was still solemn, "How to place orcs is a problem that cannot be ignored, Your Highness." ”

"Yes, but I haven't thought of a good place yet, and it's too unrealistic to go to the south of Stormwind. ”

"But it's too dangerous on the northern continent..."

We were at a loss, and it was at this point that Thassarian hesitated and made a very bad note.

"Why don't you put them in Gilneth?"

"Great idea!" Before everyone could give him a look of contempt, they immediately praised his idea. Yes, on a macro level, there is no better place than to be there..."Gilneth has never had any experience fighting orcs, and it is almost impossible for them to drive them out. ”

"What if Greysideburns asks us for help. ”

"Help?" I shook my head. "They have broken away from the alliance, then they can only offer advantages to curry favor with us, and we can also take the opportunity to blackmail that miser, as for starting a war, we can only hold on to the orcs without contact, I believe that Orgrim and Thrall will not take the initiative to stir up trouble. ”

"Well...."

No one was at odds with that. Again, this is also a very helpless and very practical result.

"We have to communicate with them all the time. As I spoke, I couldn't help but look at my mage again, and he knew what he was about to do. "I think you're going to have to work hard these days, Ronin. ”

"Of course, I understand that I'll be in touch with Teresa early tomorrow morning. ”

Luo Ning nodded in response, and I smiled for the first time in a long time.

The next day, we continued our journey home, and by this moment Ronin was nowhere to be seen, and when he came back, he would always wear a mage robe that covered his whole body and the mask that Mage Dalaran used to gather, but no one asked about it, yes, they all took it for granted that he had been arranged by me to spy on the orcs, and that his occasional return to report to me was enough not to make everyone think otherwise.

A few days later we returned home, and by this moment my father and queen mother had waited outside the door with all the ministers to celebrate the news of our victory. But I didn't smile at that, because I could see that the old man had a few more wrinkles, yes, I think it must be because of the news of the orc's escape, and my smile disappeared from it....

"Welcome home, Arthas, I know all about your experience in the South...."

My father greeted me, and we dismounted to greet me, and the elves, though they did not kneel on one knee, did bend down as they had done in the previous Union, which caused a commotion among the people, and a smile from my father, which may last longer, but what he wanted to do now was to communicate with me.

After he motioned for us to be free, he took my hand and walked to the palace and chatted cordially, but as the problem deepened, there were always some big things that could not be avoided, such as .....

"Some friends have already told me about Stratholme. ”

"That's a serious problem. I thought they were all gone in the north, but they had taken it twenty days ago. "Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, but I don't have this pessimism, and even have some thoughts of 'making a fortune' to fight for more power....

"I think I should be able to do something, I now have the skills to fight orcs. "Although I say this, I have another thing in mind, and that is military power, and my father understands this.

"Yes, there's no reason not to trust your commanding abilities, you can have the right to be arbitrary now, Arthas. ”

Father nodded silently, although most of the army still volunteered to listen to my dispatch, but this sentence still has his weight, and I couldn't help but smile in my heart when I heard this sentence, maybe it was because I couldn't hide my excitement, and revealed my feelings in the language, but my father just smiled bitterly, yes, he was not because he was reluctant to give up his unique rule, but because of another thing that surprised me..... something that would eventually be exposed.

"I think I'll do just fine. ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy, kid, this time you're going to face the Hammer of Doom..."

"Hammer of Doom?!" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard the name, yes he let it go on his own, and he would react like this, but fortunately, everyone thought I was surprised that something like this would happen, so I could only say, "Isn't he locked up in the cellar?"

"I sent someone to see it, and there was no sign of them except for a few dry corpses inside, and someone let them go, and the technique was very clever. ”

"That must have been done by the mage. I feigned rage, but when I saw my mage apprentice in Lordaeron, I couldn't help but change my tone. "I mean orc mages, but this time I'll bring him to justice again. ”

"Arthas, I'm sure you will—" said the father, and said no more. In this regard, perhaps I felt guilty and my psychological quality was a little lacking at this time, so I quickly changed the topic.

"I think we'll rest for two days, and I'll continue to take my original guards to exterminate those orcs again..."

In this way, we continued to talk about some family and state affairs. And the reason why I rested for two days was not only to give the guards time to go home, but also to allow the elves to get used to living with humans and accept each other's preferences.

Yes, they're not as contemptuous of humans as I feared, in fact, they also like camaraderie and talking freely with the acquired mages of Lordaeron in the bar, although they are likely to get drunk and reveal the Red Dragon and me and Sylvanas, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that, after all, sooner or later it can't be hidden, and it's better to spread it through the bar. And most importantly, something that cannot be said, after all, they do not know ....

Late at night, I watched Wenlesa and the elves drink in the biggest bar in the city in a private room, while I waited with everyone for Ronin's arrival, yes, he wanted to tell Orgrim about what happened today and my plans, but as far as the agreement was concerned, he should also come back and bring back the news over there....
