In the 20th year of the opening of the Dark Gate, this year has come to an end, and many major events have happened in this year, the biggest of which is the Burning Legion invaded again and was defeated on Mount Hyjal, but most of the humans are unaware of this matter, only some of the Kurtilas know the whole story, and the rest of the human race, the biggest event for them is the outbreak of the undead plague in Lordaeron, after all, millions of people died here, this number sounds terrifying.

And for the humans of the Stormwind Kingdom, the biggest event is the recent incident in which Marshal Windsor dismantled the Black Dragon conspiracy, and the truth about King Varian's death.

Both of these events happened on the same day, and that night, discussions about them could be heard almost everywhere in Stormwind, and everyone was waiting for the so-called truth, who would have thought that the next day they had not received an official explanation, but a war broke out in the city.

That's right, war.

Early in the morning, tens of thousands of Storm Kingdom standing troops had gathered at the entrance of the cathedral, and they negotiated with the other army inside for a while, but the two sides did not seem to have reached an agreement, and then they started fighting directly.

"Damn, who revealed our plan!" Zhang Li shouted from one of the cathedral's secret rooms.

"Bolval! Is it you!? I have long suspected that you were putting on a show that day, and if you think about it, how can anyone be unaware of everything that the woman around you is doing all day and night?"

"I swear to the Light that it will never be me!"

In fact, Zhang Li also knew that it was not him, after all, he was familiar with the history of the game, and knew that Bolval was also an upright person, basically all the generals here were royalists, and it was very unlikely that they would leak information to those council members, presumably it should be some inconspicuous soldier who revealed all this, but this did not prevent Zhang Li from pouring dirty water on this grand duke.

After talking for a long time, what happened was actually like this.

It is said that Zhang Li decided that those members of the council did not want to tear their faces, and if they blatantly reversed, it would be morally unjustifiable, and the soldiers would definitely not agree.

Therefore, the biggest possibility for them is to bring some people in and "persuade each other with good words" to "persuade" Anduin away.

So Zhang Li planned to set up a Hongmen banquet, and let General Marcus transfer his small number of garrisons to ambush inside the cathedral, fortunately, the cathedral was very large, enough to ambush thousands of people, and when the members of the council came in, they would directly rush up and beat them, as long as these people were captured alive, they could definitely let them handle it with the timidity and fear of death that the big men were accustomed to.

However, it is a pity that early this morning, when Zhang Li saw these council members mobilizing tens of thousands of troops, he knew that he was going to suffer, and they probably would not act as he and others thought, and this is exactly the case, in the process of negotiation, they directly demanded that they hand over Anduin, and if they didn't hand it over, they would start fighting directly.

Then they fought, but fortunately the cathedral was big enough, and more than 3,000 garrisons had been ambushed before, and it could hold up with the narrow terrain.

"Forget it! Now is not the time to hold accountable...... Zhang Lipestle said on the table, facing the crowd sitting around, "Let's think about how to get rid of the status quo first." ”

"Let's fight with them!" shouted a young man, only to have a brain meltdown.

"What are we going to do if we fight Anduin?"

"But......" He was aggrieved here, and others ignored him and started to discuss business directly.

"The only way to do that is to find a way to find reinforcements. General Marcus knew the form around Stormwind City best, he took out a map of the Elwyn Forest, pointed to the military camp next to Stormwind City, and said: "The number of standing troops in the Stormwind Kingdom is 30,000, and these 30,000 people are responsible for the defense and patrol work of the king's direct territory, but because of the black dragon, there is a large number of empty salaries within the army, and at present, it is good to have 20,000 people in the 30,000 standing army, but even these 20,000 people lack training, and the weapons and equipment are still old goods from many years ago." ”

They were fighting against 10,000 of the 20,000 people, which was good news.

"But my garrison is not much better, although I have never slackened my training, but our equipment is worse than these soldiers, in fact, all the money from the empty salary, and the taxes from all places, have been taken by the black dragon and the council families, who have used this ill-gotten wealth to expand their territory and armament. Marcus pointed on the map.

"Stonefield, Marcoran, Blackwell, and Anthony's fiefdom, Spiegel (the names of which are all various farms and orchards, let's think of it as a town), these council members have at least 30,000 elite troops in their fiefs, and if they are willing to pay for mercenaries, this number may be doubled. ”

"Then can't we hire mercenaries too?" the young man spoke again.

"What are you hiring? The treasury is already full of cobwebs, and as I said earlier, all the money is going into the pockets of the parliamentarians. Marcus unceremoniously retorted to the young man, then pointed to the map again: " But we still have hope, that is the town of Flash, the second largest town in the Elwyn Forest, it is located on the main road in front of Stormwind, if those councilors want to transfer troops into Stormwind City, then they will have to face here, and Shining Gold Town is the territory of the Duke of Vortagen, that female black dragon may have regarded the things of the Vortagan family as her own property, but she has worked very hard to build it, plus the transportation is developed there, the business is prosperous, I think there should still be 10,000 private troops. ”

Saying that, everyone looked at Bolval, who immediately stood up and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Then I'll go back, although I have not taken care of the affairs of the territory for many years, but if they still recognize me as a lord, I will let them make the right choice." ”

With that, he was leaving.

"Wait!" At this time, Zhang Li suddenly spoke: "It's okay to go, eat this thing first." He took out a black unidentified orb that looked a lot like Mi Lisu of the Celestial Empire.

"I'm sorry I can't fully trust you, so I'll have to do something back in case you change your mind. ”

"What is this?" said Berval frowned at the thing.

"Poison. Zhang Li said straightforwardly: "This poison is not an ordinary toxin, it is actually composed of a group of poisonous insects that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, because it is a living body, no matter whether you use holy light or magic can not disperse it, poisonous insects will sleep in your body for half a month, and when they wake up, they will feed on your flesh and blood, lay eggs in your body, these eggs will hatch quickly and continue to devour your flesh and blood, within seven days you will be covered with maggots and die, only my special antidote can kill these poisonous insects, this is also the shackles I prepared for you." After speaking, Zhang Li stared at him coldly: "Do you dare to eat?"

The generals in the room who Zhang Li said this were in a cold sweat, and it was the first time they had heard of such a poison.

"Why don't you dare!" Bolval directly snatched the black pill, watched it swallow several mouthfuls of saliva, he wanted to put it in his mouth several times, but out of fear, coupled with the strange smell of this pill, he was never willing to put it down.

Zhang Li didn't speak, just looked at him with a sneer, and finally Boval gritted his teeth and threw it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
