47 Battle of the Chosen III.
"Haas, Alex, do you think I can win this election?" asked the prince in a low voice.
"Your Highness, whatever happens. That's all done by the former king Aiden, everything has nothing to do with you, you must not be discouraged. Our family will do our best to support you. Alex encouraged.
"Yes, Your Highness. Your family is the founder of the Oakland Kingdom, and this throne should be inherited by you, and the foundation of the kingdom cannot be so simple in the hands of outsiders. Haas also encouraged.
"Let's go too, I'll try to fight for it after that. I'm not sure I'm fit to be the new king of Oakland right now. The prince said.
"Your Highness, if you think like this, you will fall for the scheme of the Lordaeron Kingdom. Maybe everything today is what they planned, but they have always wanted to annex the kingdom of Oakland. Looking at the deflated prince, Alex said excitedly.
But they were the ones who suffered the most from their father's betrayal, and all the rioters today also really hate the royal family of Oakland. The prince said.
"If you really feel that the royal family is wrong, then become the new king, so that you have a chance to make amends. Otherwise, the royal family of Oakland will be forever burdened with infamy. Alex said.
"If I can become the new king, I will definitely wash away the shame of my family. The prince nodded.
Then the prince and the Barov family left.
......
"Amy, do you feel like the dinner is extra quiet today?" said Hina to Amy on the way to the Silver Pines Forest.
"It's still quiet?" said Amy, a little puzzled.
"I mean's quiet around you, and that annoying guy from Illusia doesn't seem to be at the party. Sheena said.
"Oh, it seems to be true. I didn't even pay attention if you didn't say it. Amy said.
"Hey, what's wrong. Miss your sister Illusia?" said Sheena with a wicked laugh.
"Well, I've asked his father to make it clear to her, so that she won't pester me again. Amy shook her head.
"How do I look at you like this, I don't want to give up. Dia said.
"After all, people are still girls, and they always think it's not good. Amy said.
"Then you would let her get in with us?" said Dia.
"Well, I don't know what to say. Anyway, now we need to hurry up and feel the camp of the orcs and make sure they are doing. Amy said.
"What are you going to do if they do?" asked Dia.
"Geographically, it's unlikely to be them. However, they were also part of the Orc Alliance, and must be more familiar with the situation of remaining in the remnants of the Orcs of Azeroth than we are. Amy said.
"But then the countries will definitely increase patrols and vigilance, what if they are discovered?" Dia asked again.
"So this time I also hope that the Barov family can win and help the original royal family ascend to the throne. In this way, the patrol near the silver pine forest was also carried out by the Barov family. When I was pushing forward with the royal election proposal, I didn't expect that the Lordaeron Kingdom would nominate candidates, otherwise I would have directly asked other leaders to directly support the original royal family to ascend to the throne. Amy said.
"You're asking for your own hardships, lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot. Sheena said.
"When I first heard Countess Cartlanene talk about the king's choice, I thought it was quite good, but I didn't expect it to lead to so many changes. Carefully calculated, today's banquet riot was also caused by her, and this woman really can't be underestimated. Amy frowned.
"Sister Gianna didn't like her at the beginning, so you better watch out for her. Dia said.
"Now that we're in the North Continent, she's in Stormwind, but she doesn't really have much influence on us. But right now I'm a little worried about the situation in the Stormwind Kingdom, but the good news is that Varian is a wise king. Amy said.
"You'd better worry about your own business first, the orc's business is really going to be discovered by the Alliance. Your reputation will be ruined. Sheena said.
"I don't care about reputation, I'm afraid that you will be affected. Amy said.
"I didn't have a good reputation in the Elven Kingdom before, and everyone called me a lazy general, so I don't care. Sheena said with a smile.
"It was said at the wedding, whether you are good or bad, I will always love you. So no matter what happens to you in the future, I don't care. Dia said.
"Then I won't have much pressure, thank you for supporting me. Amy said.
"But I don't want to be called a traitor, so don't let your actions go unnoticed by the Alliance. Sheena said again in the blink of an eye.
Indeed, the infamy of a traitor is too influential. I don't know what will become of the king after the election. Amy sighed.
Then the three of them quickly rushed to the orc stronghold in the Silver Pine Forest, and the orcs all showed strange faces in the face of Amy's appearance. Since Amy moved out of the orc stronghold, she hasn't been to the orc stronghold at night, and Amy usually goes to the stronghold alone.
Amy's arrival was naturally reported to Grom, and soon Grom came to Amy's face.
"Grom, tell me honestly. Has the Warsong Clan been doing anything outside these days?" Amy asked directly.
"Action, what action, all the members of the Warsong Clan have been staying in the Silver Pine Forest these days, if you don't believe it, you can ask Nirru and them. Grom replied with some inexplicability.
"Have any other orcs invited you to raid human towns these days?" Amy asked again.
"Now Azeroth is the only one who knows about the existence of our orc clan, and I haven't seen any other clan warriors since I came to the Silverpine Forest. Grom said.
"It's not you, the lakeside town of the Stormwind Kingdom has been attacked by orcs of unknown origin. Now the alliance will step up inspections, and you will also step up concealment during this time. Amy said.
"Lakeside, Lakeside in Redridge Mountain?" asked Grom as if reminiscing.
"Well, there it is. Amy said.
"If it's an orc attack there, I can give you some information. Grom said.
"Say it quickly. Amy said.
"Originally, the orcs were defeated after the first battle of Blackstone Mountain, and the Great Chief Orgrim was defeated by you and captured by the Alliance. The Orcs are leaderless, and all Orc clans are once again led by the Clan Chieftain himself. While a large number of orcs have returned to Norad, the original Blackstone Clan has chosen to stay in Azeroth, and they have quietly returned to Blackstone Mountain, hiding inside the Blackstone Tower. Grom said.
"Isn't that the territory of the Black Iron Dwarves? Will the Black Iron Dwarves accept them?" asked Amy.
"No, the orcs used to occupy the Blackstone Tower, they just returned to the area occupied by the orcs. Grom said.
"Among the orcs, is it also this Blackstone clan that is connected to the Black Dragon?" asked Amy.
"Well, they were the bond between the orcs and the black dragon, who had helped the orcs in the war. Grom said.
"If there is a black dragon, I'm afraid this time the king election will not be simple. Amy muttered to herself.
"You pay attention to your own secrecy, I'll go first, I have other things to investigate. Amy said another word and turned to leave quickly.
"Amy, wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to investigate this matter if the black dragon was involved? Although he doesn't like it, you might as well call the Red Dragon Queen. Sheena said shortly after leaving the orc stronghold.
"No, we haven't found anything yet, if it's too easy to expose the target by calling the Red Dragon Queen, the Black Dragon will definitely notice that we're already investigating them. But now I have a suspicion, since this happened in the Stormwind Kingdom, there is a good chance that there is something wrong with Countess Catlana. Amy said.
"Shall we investigate Countess Catlana or Lakeside?" asked Sheena again.
"I'll go to Lakeside Town, and you'll investigate the countess. During this time, she should stay here as a representative of Stormwind, and you will call Gianna during the investigation, this little girl has to say that she is very talented in this investigation. You should also be safe and keep your distance from your targets. Amy said.
"And what about you? What are you going to do dangerously?" Dia asked uncomfortably when she heard that Amy was going to act alone again.
"I'll just go to Lakeside and find out what happened to Windsor. Rest assured, I don't do dangerous things. The main battlefield of this conspiracy is on the side of Wang Xuan. Amy said.
"By the way, you should also be careful to guard against Davar, I feel that his identity is also problematic. Amy added.
"Don't worry, we sisters know what to do. Dia said.
The three then went their separate ways, Amy rushed to Lakeside Town, and the two ladies rushed to King Oakland.
It was close to dawn the next day, and Amy had traveled all night to the army camp that was on guard in Lakeside Town. When Amy entered the barracks, she was surrounded by soldiers with weapons. After the war, the Stormwind Legion continued to expand and recruit many new recruits, and the veterans who knew Amy couldn't have retired and returned home. Amy went straight to the barracks, and naturally she was warmly welcomed by a group of recruits.
"Lord Marshal, it's this guy who trespassed into the barracks and kept saying he knew you. One of them said after luring Windsol to Amy.
"Stand down, he's Amy, the human hero of the Orc Wars. "Wendsall.
"Ahh The recruit captain hurriedly said.
"Hey, I just said I was Amy, and you don't believe me. Amy said helplessly.
"Well, don't pursue them either. Now that the town by the lake is under martial law, you will definitely cause misunderstanding if you directly break into the barracks like this. "Wendsall.
"Brother, I couldn't have a good chat the last time we met, but thank you for the last time. Amy said.
"You still have the face to mention the last time, you kid come with me. Wendsol said directly to Amy out of the crowd.
The two arrived at Wendsol's private tent, and Wendsol looked at Amy with displeasure, and Amy could only look at Wendsol with the same smirk.
"Dude, why are you so angry?" said Amy.
"It's not the orcs who made a fuss. Tell me, this orc attack was not done by the group of orcs that your kid brought back. "Wendsall.
"Dude, it really has nothing to do with them. Now they've been placed by me in the Silver Pines Forest of the Northern Continent, and they've been in the forest for the rest of their lives. Amy said.
"Then why are you still here, Oakrant is not busy with the king's election, you kid is the overseer. "Wendsall.
"I'm afraid this matter is related to the king's election. Soon after the incident in Lakeside, the situation was brought to the Alliance by Countess Catlana, and now the whole Alliance knows about it. As a result, the reputation of the candidate for the Oakland royal family plummeted, and everyone remembered King Eden's betrayal of the alliance. Amy said.
"Katrana, that woman, I didn't report this to Stormwind, she knew about it. "Wendsall.
"Brother, didn't you write that report?" asked Amy.
"Report?I'm busy trying to minimize the impact of this, and I thought it was the orcs you brought back to do it. If this matter is exposed, it will definitely affect you. How could I possibly write a report? "Wendsall.
"But the report brought by Katrana is very detailed, and it is definitely a military report of the army. Amy said.
"Katrana, that woman I have long been aware of her problem, but Vaber has been shielding her. "Wendsall.
"Do you have any evidence that she's not who she is?" Amy asked.
"Nope. Windsol shook his head.
"I also got the news that the Blackstone Orcs are hiding in the Blackstone Mountains of the Burning Plains, and that they were most likely responsible for this attack. Amy said.
"It's quite possible, the Burning Plains are adjacent to the Red Ridge Mountain, and such a short distance can indeed launch an assault. "Wendsall.
"If we want to unravel the truth, I'm afraid we will have to go to Blackstone Mountain to find out the relationship between Blackstone Orc and that countess. Amy said.
"Okay, I'll move the troops. "Wendsall.
The Stormwind Army, which had stayed in Lakeside Town, began to prepare for camp, and just as the group was about to leave, an unexpected situation occurred.
"Marshal Wendsol listened to the order, and in the name of King Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom, ordered Marshal Wendsol to continue martial law in Lakeside Town, and it was strictly forbidden to move troops for any reason. "A herald carried Varian's order to the army.
