Chapter 186: Deception

ps: I want 6 more today, don't ask me why! This is the second chapter!

Before Varian took the elite of Stormwind on the expedition, he appointed his friend Boval. Regent of the Duke of Vortagen, who deals with the affairs of the kingdom. Over the past few months, the Duke of Fotagan has handled government affairs in an orderly manner. Countess Catlana became his right-hand man. This woman's political skills are quite superb. Under her control, the Defia thieves who have entrenched themselves in the western wilderness have ceased much in recent months; It's been a long time since there has been news of another harassment from the Orcs of the Blackstone Tower.

Even if it's Varian. When Wryon was there, the surrounding area of Stormwind had never been so stable.

Berval was deeply impressed by Catlana's political abilities, and the young and beautiful countess was beautiful and charismatic, and the male nobles of Stormwind City were not not captivated by her demeanor. Berval was also a fan of hers, and he felt that this woman looked at him differently than when she looked at others.

The Duke was a little nervous, and he felt as if his second spring was coming.

While he was indulging in this, the demons of the Burning Legion descended from the sky in a large area. Although the method is peculiar - many have been thrown to their deaths, the rest are still rallying and threatening the safety of the people of Stormwind territory. Broval urgently summoned an army to banish and destroy the demons, and Countess Catlana was extremely enthusiastic, mobilizing an army from Stormwind to quickly and decisively wipe out the demons around Lakeside Town.

She reveals her military talents, impressing the nobles of Stormwind. She didn't seem to understand anything. It's hard to imagine how she learned so many things at such a young age.

Berval even began to imagine that Catlana must have lived in an aristocratic family, intelligent, studious, and wide-ranging. If you were a man, you would definitely shine even brighter than you do now!

"We in Stormwind need that kind of talent." "If she's going to fall in love with me," Bolval thought, "......"

And when he thought about it, Reginald. General Wendthor suddenly came out of the subway station in Stormwind and brought him the orders of His Majesty the King. Let him do it at once - gather all the people of the Stormwind Kingdom, and they will retreat to the New World!

"With all due respect, is it necessary for Your Majesty to be so nervous about those demons?" Bolval didn't understand it at all, he thought it was a bit ridiculous, and he couldn't help but say, "Reginald." You don't know it, but our army has been at war with those demons all this time. Some of them are indeed strong, but they are generally just a bunch of stragglers. As long as we send a large army to hold the line of Red Ridge Mountain, the demons will be kept out! ”

"It's the king's order." General Wendsol's tone was a little stiff, "He'll be there later." You have an opinion. You can explain it directly to His Majesty, but as his subordinate, I think you should carry out His Majesty's orders first! ”

He saw that Bolval's face was a little ugly, and realized that his tone seemed to be a little heavier. They have been friends for many years, having fought side by side in both the First and Second Wars, and have made significant contributions to Stormwind.

"Believe me, Berval, the king's order is right. You haven't been to the Lordaeron front. Scattered throughout the Stormwind Kingdom are only a small fraction of the Burning Legion. Their large army, quite literally, could not withstand them even if all the forces and heroes of the Eastern Kingdoms were combined. ”

Burnard was still a little incredulous, but he could see the deep worry in Wendsol's eyes. He was silent for a moment. Only then did he say, "Okay, I'll go and give the order." ”

After a pause, he added, "Hopefully this is the right decision." ”

"There's another thing." "When the king returns, he will see two men to appease the people." ”

The refugees gathered in Danmoro entered Dalaran in an orderly manner. Exit through the portal. In order to convince the demons that everyone did, the dwarves and gnomes also entered during the day. Then leave for the evening and head back to their respective cities. The demon of Nasrezm reported what he had detected here to Akmund.

His army had only just entered Lockmodan. It's still a day and a half away from Ironforge.

"You say, all of them went through Guò Dalaran's portal?" Akmund stared at the Nasrezm demon who had returned from the reconnaissance, "Did you go down to investigate yourself?" ”

The Nasrezm Demon trembled in his heart, how could his people dare to come close and observe. After the battle of Silvermoon City, the few remaining clansmen said that these natives had a way to detect them, and wouldn't it be self-defeating to try to sneak in.

If he answered no, Akmund would most likely kill him, citing the fact that "the Burning Legion doesn't need cowards".

If he says he has snuck in and is discovered by Akmund, then he will definitely die.

The only way to survive is to deceive Akmund without him being discovered. The cunning Dreadlords are ready for this.

He immediately swore and said, "Great master, I have gone to investigate!" They did leave through the Guò portal, and I heard that they were heading to another super-large floating fortress called Pearl City. ”

"Well," Akmund scratched his chin, "go down." Keep an eye on them. ”

Danmoro's retreat is nearing its end, and the army of the Burning Legion will not reap much results if they rush over, and may even run in vain.

"Lemmon," Akmund called the name of the leader of the Demon Guardians, whose killing and burning desire to destroy had recently caught his attention, "you take people to Danmoro and pursue these natives. If they escape, capture the frost trolls! ”

"Yes, my master!" The Demon Guardian Commander Lemon commanded loudly.

Akmund was not going to Danmorro himself, since his main enemy was on his way to Kalimdor, in order to prevent the situation that he feared most, he was ready to quickly conquer the eastern kingdoms, and immediately after organizing a large army, he would sail west to Mount Hyjal.

He has already charted the course. Demons who have descended on the Burning Plains report that the Blackstone Tower is inhabited by a large number of orcs, as well as some Black Iron Dwarves.

Orcs - he remembered these creatures from Draenor. Just over twenty years ago, when he and Kil'Gardan were tracking down their former brother, the Prophet Veron, they discovered this group of traitors calling themselves "Draenei".

More than 20,000 years ago, Akmund, Kilgardan, and Veron were close brothers who ruled the Eredas on the planet Argus. Later, the great Sargeras found this place, promised them great power, and led them to conquer countless worlds. They agreed, but when it came to happening, Velen led a group of stubborn clansmen to betray them. In the days that followed, they tracked down the traitor who had hurt their brotherhood, ruining countless worlds for it.

Eventually, they tracked down Draenor.

Kil'Gardan is interested in the indigenous orcs of this world, but Akmund wants nothing but revenge. However, it turned out that these orcs did have great potential. Kil'Gardan is leading their invasion of Azeroth, and the orcs who drink the blood of demons have a strong desire to destroy, and are simple-minded and easy to control.

Now that Akmund is missing a minion, he believes that these orcs of the Blackstone Tower will become qualified cannon fodder after being transformed by evil powers.

So he led his army from Lockmodan into the Scorching Canyon and headed straight for the Burning Plains.

After Varian emerged from the subway station, he made a beeline for Stormwind Fortress under the guard of the soldiers. He was both scared and looking forward to what was about to happen. After being a king for a few years and going through so many tribulations, he was still a little nervous.

Varian, Jiang Weihan, Anna, and the heroes around them make their way to Stormwind Fortress. Varian stopped in front of the fountain, where a statue of his father, King Lane, was carved. After he was there, it should have been replaced with a statue of him, but Varian didn't think he had a great feat to celebrate, so he still had a statue of the old king. Each gaze also reminds me of my father, who remains in my childhood impressions.

"Let's go, King Varian." Anna noticed that he was hesitant, and that both men were waiting for him inside the fortress at this time. "It was a twist of fate. You should face it as early as possible. ”

"yes, I know." Varian agreed in a deep voice. He looked at Jiang Weihan, Anna and the others, and his eyes became firm, "I'm going to ask you." ”

"That's what we're supposed to do." Jiang Weihan nodded.

The same goes for Anna. As far back as she can remember, after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, there was renewed friction between the Alliance and the Horde, and she invited the leaders of both sides to the peace talks in Theramore, and the Black Dragon Princess Onexia took advantage of this opportunity to murder Varian. Although Varian returned to his kingdom after all his suffering, Anna was responsible for this matter.

Exposing Onexia is not just helping Varian, it's also making amends for her past.

Varian strode towards the palace.

He saw at the door some of the monks and acolytes of the Cathedral of Light, all of whom were close to Archbishop Benedictas. This venerable archbishop was also waiting for him inside.

He took a deep breath and stepped down the long hallway, each of the royal guards on either side saluting him.

He came to the main hall and was surprised to see the figure of his five-year-old son, Anduin. And the person with him is Countess Katrana! The two seem to be very close to each other, almost like a mother and son.

She smiled and bowed slightly to Varian, "Your Majesty, welcome back!" ”

She is charismatic, has a charming smile, and does not see the slightest flaw at all. (To be continued) R466
