Finally, before the sun sets, Michaela and Marlenia make it back to the crossroads to the hotel room to get ready to rest.

For them, the day passed like this, but for the diligent leaders, the day was still long.

For example, at this time, the great chief of the tribe, Sal, was fighting in his private office, reviewing all kinds of documents. Immersing oneself in a boring pile of papers is probably the fate of every politician.

At this moment, a portal suddenly opened behind Sal!

Wait, if someone meets Sal, why don't they go through the main entrance, but instead bypass the levels and go straight to Sal's room through the portal?

Or why were the teleportation coordinates of such important locations as the private offices of the tribal chief leaked? Isn't Sal afraid that five hundred axemen will rush up and chop him into mashed meat on the spot?

The answer is that Sal knows who is coming:

"Gianna, I didn't expect you to come today."

Sal said the other party's name without replying, and raised his hand and said, "Wait for me for a while, I haven't finished the documents here, and there have been a lot of things recently." ”

Who would have thought that Gianna today is not as docile as usual, on the contrary, if Sal looked back, he would find that there was no smile on her face, cold as frost.

It's a pity that Sal didn't turn back, so Gianna will use her actions to help him turn back!

"Bang!"

Hearing a muffled sound that shook the entire office, the frightened Thrall naturally couldn't continue to review the documents, so he had to look back, and it turned out to be the stern Gianna using the handle of his staff, plus a little arcane magic to knock on the ground.

Before Sal could speak, such a huge movement attracted another orc!

"What's wrong with the Great Chief?"

A dark-skinned orc opened the door to the office and entered with one foot, just in time to see Gianna with a staff in hand and Thrall in the process of approving papers.

"It's okay, Itreig."

Sal waved his hand, "Guard the gate." ”

"Yes."

Itreg immediately exited the room, closed the door from the outside, and stood guard at the door, explaining the situation to the Kukaron guards who arrived as they arrived.

After settling his men, Thrall can now deal with the human woman in front of him, the ruler of Theramore, Archmage Gianna:

"What's wrong, Gianna, what's making you so unhappy?"

While speaking, Sal also brought a leather chair with his own hands, like a warm man, and politely stretched out his hand to invite Gianna to sit down.

But Gianna, like your girlfriend who lost her temper, "snorted" and didn't sit down, but let Sal's right hand freeze in the air.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Gianna, who had lost her temper, spoke in a resentful tone:

"Why did you kill all my men in the Northern Fortress?"

"The Northern Fortress?"

Thrall was a little confused when he heard the name, of course he knew that the northern fortress was the northern gateway to Theramore, and if the tribe wanted to attack Theramore, one of the ways was to break through the northern castle and then follow the river bank all the way south.

But the problem is that Sal didn't want to go to war at all, his own army had not been mobilized yet, and he only had a standing army to maintain daily law and order. In other words, since you are not ready to go to war, then there is no reason to touch the northern castle opposite, right?

On the other hand, Gianna, with her understanding of Sal, just looked at the other party's confused expression, but she still added:

"Sal, did you do this?"

At this time, the average leader will definitely bite the bullet and say "no", first take off their responsibilities, and then talk about the rest of the matter.

But Saar, unlike him, did not say "yes" or "no", but asked for details first:

"Gianna, tell me, what happened to the Northern Castle that made you so angry?"

A lot of things, it's not that you didn't do it, it really has nothing to do with you, sometimes even if you didn't do anything, you still have to take the basin on your head!

Gianna glanced at Sal and raised her left hand to hold out her index and middle fingers in mid-air, and as the magic fluctuated, a picture appeared between the two fingers.

Sal took the photo and looked at it, and immediately blurted out a name: "Michaela!" ”

Michaela is a former ambassador of the Blood Elves, of course Sal knows and has dealt with him personally, and knows his strength through the Flame Rift incident, and with the addition of the Blood Elves to the tribe, the two sides have a communication channel, and more information has flowed into Thrall's ears.

Gianna also took the opportunity to say: "Sal, do you know him?" ”

"Michaela was an ambassador for Silvermoon City, so I met him."

Thrall continued to introduce Michaela's identity to Gianna: "As far as I know, this person is a hero on the other side of Silvermoon City, known as the strongest demon warlock, if he makes a move, it is not surprising to kill your people in the Northern Castle. ”

"So, Sal, you did it!" Gianna immediately pressed forward.

Thankfully, Thrall had already told Itreg to close the door, otherwise outsiders would have seen it......

Forget it, let's put the woman in front of you first.

"How is that possible, Gianna!"

Sal opened his arms and hugged the beauty into his arms, and said in a gentle tone: "You know me, I won't attack you." ”

Gianna didn't refuse, but she didn't completely relax either, and Sal could feel the other person's body still stiff, knowing that he had to come up with something practical, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle the other party.

So, Sal took the initiative to speak: "Gianna, can I still trust you?"

Gianna did not shy away from saying, "Of course you can, so are you willing to believe me?" ”

"Of course, as always."

In the next second, Sal took the initiative to tell a major secret: "Gianna, my army has not begun to mobilize, and it is impossible to start a war in this state. ”

The mobilization of a country's army has always been a secret, and Gianna believes that Sal has not lied to him, so the other side cannot have any intention of going to war.

"Since it's not you......"

Gianna said her conclusion: "So it seems that the blood elves did it privately to curry favor with you?" Sal, I can't see it, your thighs are so thick! ”

Sal smiled awkwardly.

Since Sal himself really didn't have the heart to go to war, it could only be explained as a unilateral action on the side of the blood elves, but this made Sal a little difficult.

The matter of the Northern Castle is not small at all, it is impossible to say the final word, if it can't be dealt with in time, once it is bitten by the hawks on the alliance side, it may be a full-scale war, this is not a situation that Sal and Gianna want to see, at least not now.

That's why Gianna chose to come directly to Sal tonight for an interview to resolve the matter. Now that Sal has made it clear that he doesn't want to fight, it's time for this matter to end decently, at least on the bright side.

So, Gianna immediately relaxed her body and said at the same time, "Sal, what are you going to do?" ”

Feeling that the body of the beauty in his arms has become smoother, Sal knows that the other party's attitude has also softened, so it is time for him to act:

"I'm going to send a note to Silvermoon City Regent Lothema to inquire about the situation."

However, Gianna's body stiffened again when she heard this, and said coldly, "I didn't ask you this. ”

Sure enough, I can't do it without bloodletting.

"Okay."

Sal took the initiative to let go of Gianna, walked to the desk and pulled out a map of the swamp, pointed to a place in the northwest corner of the map, and said:

"Gianna, the village of the Fern Wall there is yours as compensation for your loss in the Northern Castle."

(Stay: At this point in time, Onexia is still in Stormwind and hasn't been to the Muddy Swamp, so Fern Wall Village is just a small tribal outpost, and the local Stonehammer Ogre is still in the Stonehammer camp to the south.) ）

At this moment, Gianna really smiled on her face, and took the initiative to hug Sal.

(By the way of the incident, Gianna didn't attack Fern Wall Village afterwards, so when the Black Dragon Princess arrived, the Stonehammer Ogre who fled from the south was able to regain a foothold in Fern Wall Village)

Soon the two sides were done, and Gianna and Sal, who were satisfied, said goodbye, and the latter also sighed for a long time, and the woman's demands became more and more!

As the room fell silent, the advisor Itreig, who had been guarding the door, entered the room again, met with the High Chief, and reviewed the events of the Northern Castle with Thrall.

"It's a strange thing, Grand Chief."

Itreig touched his beard and began his analysis: "There is no plan to start a war on our side, there is no need to provoke the alliance, and the blood elves are also in the recovery period after the war, not to mention that with the character of those elves, I don't think they will make a deliberate move to please you." ”

Sal also nodded in agreement, and continued: "If it's just Michaela's personal plan to attack the Northern Castle, it is meaningless, no matter how strong he is alone, even if he defeats the castle, can he defend it?" He doesn't have an army again! ”

So why did Michaela attack the Northern Castle?

At the same time, Gianna, who had returned to Theramo through the portal, was staying in her mage tower and her advisor, Archmage Twash, and was also reviewing the events of the Northern Castle.

"So, the strangest thing is Michaela's motives."

Archmage Tvorsh: "I don't believe that the mission assigned by Captain Sharosas alone could make the Blood Elves do such a terrible job!" ”

Sure enough, Captain Sharosas had been captured by Theramore's side, and took the initiative to confess that he had issued a mission to attack the Northern Citadel in Thorntooth City, but with only a little reward from the mission, no one would be stupid enough to go head-to-head with the regular army of Theramore.

Gianna believed her advisor's claims, so at this point she had already begun to think about other possibilities, such as:

"I remember, Sal said that Michaela was a warlock."

"Huh? Warlock! ”

Michaela's profession alerted Archmage Tvorsh, and Gianna thought of something at the same time:

"Warlocks are all people who deal with demons, and many of them are even connected to the Burning Legion!"

In Thrall's office, Itreig also remembers through Michaela's profession: "Grand Chief, is Michaela a supporter of the Burning Legion?" There are quite a few such people among warlocks, such as the Burning Blade Clan. ”

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense!"

At this moment, Sal and Gianna, who were in Orgrimmar and Theramore, respectively, came to the same conclusion:

"Someone is trying to sow discord between the Alliance and the Horde, and let go to war!"
