"Do you know where my dad is?"

A child is a child, Anduin does not understand the politics of the country, and although he wears a crown and sits on a throne now, in essence, he is just a son who misses his father.

So when the two sides in the hall collapsed, the little king Anduin jumped out of place at Michaela and said something completely out of place, causing everyone present to be stunned. Especially the previous menacing Countess Catlana Presto was embarrassed on the spot, and could only turn her head to look at the little king in the middle.

However, Anduin's immature gaze remained on Michaela in front of him. For a son who misses his father, he wants his father to return, but no one around him knows Varian's whereabouts, so Anduin has to pin his hopes on outsiders.

"You're asking the right question, Your Majesty."

Michaela, who was the first to react, immediately opened her mouth and replied, "I know where your father is." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience exclaimed again.

Anduin immediately jumped off the throne, his eyes full of hope, and said, "Where is he?" ”

"Wait!"

Countess Catlana Presto, who had already reacted, wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and Michaela's words had already been exported:

"Your father, His Majesty Varian-Ureon, is on the island of Okaz."

Anduin immediately walked towards Michaela and said excitedly, "Take me there, I want to see my father!" ”

"Enough!"

Countess Katrana Presto picked up Anduin from the ground, held him in her arms, and stared at Michaela with vicious eyes, as if a she-dragon was protecting her cubs.

The Duke of Berval, who was on the side, also walked up to Catlana, blocked the two behind him with his own body, and shouted to Michaela:

"Tribal ambassador, what do you want to do? Are you trying to force us to break the rules of diplomatic relations? ”

The above rule of diplomatic relations is "no beheading", and the Duke of Berval is already threatening Michaela with death.

At the same time, the surrounding nobles, officials, and even servants began to talk softly, some of them indeed discussing Varian's whereabouts, but many more were discussing Michaela's actions.

Whether or not Michaela really knew Varian's whereabouts, his attempt to lure the little King Anduin towards him was an event that the Stormwind Kingdom would not tolerate. After all, Anduin is the only royal bloodline today, and his safety is related to the survival of the country!

It's just that Anduin himself doesn't seem to understand this, and he is held in Katrana's arms, and he keeps shouting: "I'm going to find my father, I'm going to find my father." ”

The countess could not comfort the agitated Anduin, so she had to look at Berval, who immediately announced: "The meeting is over, come here, take Ambassador Michaela out of the stormstorm!" ”

Tessa immediately stepped forward and guided Michaela away, while Catlana and Duke Berval on the high platform also coaxed the little king Anduin to retreat from the high platform and enter the apse.

Hehe, looks like they're going to be busy for a while.

But Michaela couldn't laugh at all when he walked out of the fortress, instead he glared at Tessa beside him and shouted, "Hey, did you do all this?" ”

The Dreadlord is known for being good at provoking turmoil, and Tessa simply said directly: "The battlefield of Arathi is indeed operated by our Dreadlord of the Dreadlord, but aside from the facts, don't you have a little responsibility?" ”

, what kind of marketing trick is this!

The corners of Tessa's mouth turned up, and she said with satisfaction: "Michaela, don't think of any way to break the situation, at this point, the battlefield in the Arathi Basin is a foregone conclusion, and neither the alliance nor the tribe will give in." Instead, I suggest you think about your meeting in the afternoon. ”

"Huh? Afternoon? Meeting? ”

Michaela was a little confused: "Isn't the diplomatic meeting over, Stormwind City issued a declaration of war to the tribe to officially declare war, what else is there to talk about." ”

"Hmph."

Tessa chuckled, "Do you really think Stormwind will go all out?" Michaela, since you have become an ambassador, don't think like a civilian, think about it with a political mindset, I'm sure you'll understand. ”

Political ...... Thinking?

Michaela narrowed her eyes at Terra and asked, "Hey, what do you know?" ”

"Me?"

Tessa pretended to be innocent: "I'm just a little clerk, what will I know?" ”

Hmph, you guy.

With that, Michaela returned to her room in the Gilded Rose Inn, and Tessa left.

"Master!"

Without the suppression of the Dread Demon King, the succubus Melina immediately pounced: "Please hug." ”

This time, however, Michaela, who was sitting in a chair, raised her left hand slightly to show her refusal.

Melina was shocked when she saw Michaela's appearance, because at this time, Michaela changed her usual slightly silly appearance, became calm and sophisticated, and exuded a bottomless aura!

"This is my master."

Melina nodded in satisfaction, then obediently lay down on the bed and fell asleep on her own.

In the spirit world, Michaela is instructing Tolina: "Take out all my memory files about the Alliance, and I will study the current situation carefully!" ”

"Good!"

Don't look at Tolina, who usually likes to complain and be funny, but as a system elf, she has also been helping Michaela with all her heart.

Now, Michaela is going to become a politician, think about the situation of the Alliance, and speculate on the thoughts of the Stormwind Kingdom!

There are three steps to solving the problem.

The first step, gathering relevant information, is also the most critical step, and only if the information collected is comprehensive enough to effectively carry out the next steps.

In addition to the Polluter Legion, which involved the Forsaken forces of the Horde, there are two forces related to the Alliance, namely the Arathor Coalition formed by the Kingdom of Stormgard, which is fighting with the Horde, and the Kingdom of Stormwind, which has just announced its support for the Kingdom of Stormgard.

Both the Kingdom of Stormgard and the Kingdom of Stormwind belong to the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity, with the Kingdom of Stormwind being one of the two strongest of the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity. Now, with the fall of another human power, Lordaeron, the Kingdom of Stormwind has become the strongest of the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity......

Huh, wait.

Michaela remembers that Tessa had revealed that the two generations of kings of the Stormwind King, Ryan and Varian, had problems issuing public bonds, which caused the Stormwind Kingdom to be suppressed by the Lordaeron Kingdom and became the second of the Seven Kingdoms.

But with the complete destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the Catastrophe War, the Kingdom of Stormwind naturally became the boss of the remaining nations of the human race. And because the Lordaeron Kingdom is gone, the related claims will also disappear, and the Stormwind Kingdom can pay off a large number of public debts, so it will be much more generous in the allocation of the annual budget.

Ah, I see!

As the relevant information continued to increase, Michaela's mind suddenly became clear, and the basic law of solving the problem took the second step, which was to analyze the information.

Now, the Stormwind Kingdom, which has become the head of the human nations, will definitely seek to match the influence, so it will definitely be able to support the Stormgard Kingdom to win the battle in the Arathi Basin......

Well?

Why win!

A flash of light flashed through Michaela's mind.

"On War" mentions that "war is the continuation of politics". If the Kingdom of Stormwind wants to control the Kingdom of Stormwind, then what he has to do is not to win the battle of the Arathi Basin, but to let the war drag on indefinitely, so that the Kingdom of Stormwind will always be at war, and then the Kingdom of Stormwind will always be in demand.

However, there is a cloud in "The Art of War" that "the husband and the soldier will have it for a long time, and the national benefit will also have it", and the most critical word in this sentence is "national benefit" rather than "national victory", because war is a consumption of national resources, and the longer the war, the greater the consumption, until the country can no longer bear it.

After combining the above two, we come to the third step of the Basic Law of Problem Solving and draw conclusions!

The Stormwind Kingdom wants a long-term war that won't be too depleting on the nation's resources.

Obviously, this kind of war is very difficult to achieve, after all, one side of the war alone has no control over the scale of the war, and your opponent will not cooperate with your steps unless......

"Unless you secretly collude with your opponent in advance!"

Michaela, who wanted to understand all the joints, smiled, and at the same time leaned back in the chair: "I see, the Storm Kingdom is really calculating!" The calculation is ringing. ”

It's no wonder that Duke Berval and Countess Catlana are extremely tough in the court, just to show the Stormgard Kingdom that the Stormwind Kingdom is about to take action.

Then it will be my turn to meet privately and secretly finalize some treaties to ensure that the war will never stop in the Arathi Basin.

Michaela, as an ambassador of the Horde, will of course ...... for herself Ahem, I mean winning the most for the tribe!

At this time, Tolina opened her mouth and asked, "Michaela, what is your best interest?" ”

Eh...... Huh!

Suddenly, Michaela was stunned.

yes, what's in my best interest?

At this time, Michaela had not yet established his own power, and he really couldn't think of any other benefits besides gold coins......

No, I'm not alone, I still have Malenia!

That's right!

I can ask Countess Katrana Presto for a pass to the Blackstone Tower, which is now controlled by her brother Nefarian, the Black Dragon, and with the Countess's pass, I believe that I can safely enter the Blackstone Tower and find the Great Elementalist Krissic to buy essentia blocks, create demonic essentia ingots, and forge better prosthetics for Malenia!

Also, I can ask Bervar to visit the Stormwind prison, so I don't have to rely on the Dreadlord of Gulentesa to accomplish the evil god's goal on my own!

"Haha, what a good plan!"

A familiar voice rang in Michaela's ears, and Michaela happily echoed, "That's right, this is my evil plan, hahaha...... Yes! ”

Michaela's smiling face froze in the air like this, because he found that Tessa had appeared beside him at some point, and was glaring at him with both eyes:

"Laugh, why aren't you laughing?"

it!

No wonder Melina and Tolina suddenly lost their voices, the feeling is that this goods are coming!

Michaela put away her smile and said, "Tessa, aren't you leaving, why are you coming back!" ”

Tessa looked at Michaela with the eyes of a fool, "Do you know what time it is?" ”

"What time is it?"

As soon as the words came out, there was a knock on the bell tower in Stormwind.

"Phew!"

Tessa also took advantage of the situation and said, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and Countess Katrana Presto wants to talk to you alone. ”

"Ahh

Michaela realized that it had taken too long to think about what she had just done, and:

"I haven't eaten yet!"
