Chapter 301: Change the plan, see the move
Ever since Deathwing's sudden disappearance, the task he left behind has fallen to Nefarian.
Although Nefarian, who was busy with research, had no interest in this, in order not to be punished when his father returned, he still patiently incarnated as Baron Presto, and made false promises with the human nobles, secretly guiding them in the direction he wanted.
The reason why Terenus reacted so quickly during the second invasion of the orcs was that Nefarian's persuasion also played a role.
Due to the continued pursuit of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, Azeroth is no longer suitable for the Black Dragon to thrive.
Following the plan left behind by Deathwing, Nefarian contacted Death Knights and Orcs such as Talon Bloodfiend as soon as they re-entered Azeroth, and a deal was struck.
The Black Dragon helps the Orcs obtain the three artifacts they want, and in exchange, Talon Bloodfiend sends someone to escort the Black Dragons' dragon eggs to Draenor.
When they first learned of the second invasion of the orcs, the members of the Lordaeron Alliance, led by Terenus, wanted Khadgar and other mages to immediately close the dark door and give the stupid orcs who did not learn their lesson a urn to catch turtles.
Baron Presto, incarnated by Nefarian, stood up at this time to refute their opinions.
Closing the Dark Gate from Azeroth's side is a palliative, and orcs who are unable to achieve their goals will invade Azeroth again and again.
If you want to solve the troubles of the orcs once and for all, it is best to send an elite expeditionary force into the enemy's lair and completely destroy the hopes of the orcs.
Nefarian used a spell of charm to win over many nobles to agree with his proposal, and finally said that Terenus changed his mind.
While the expeditionary force was assembled, the Death Knights of Talon Bloodfiend continued to transport the Black Dragon Dragon Eggs to Draenor.
Due to the disappearance of the dragon queen Sinestra, there is no female black dragon who can withstand the magma gushing from Deathwing's body, so naturally it is impossible to give birth to new offspring with him.
This batch of stored dragon eggs is the last hope of the Black Dragon Legion, and there must be no mistakes.
Nefarian himself did not want to and could not move the nest, so he entrusted Onexia to accompany the army as the sister of Baron Presto, secretly escorting the dragon eggs to the right place to hatch along the way.
For this reason, Onexia came to Stormwind ahead of time and waited for the expeditionary force to complete its assembly.
During this time, she began to disguise herself as a powerful human noble mage under the alias of Caterina Presto.
Unlike her older brother, who likes to do research, Onixia is obviously a dragon with a status above mortals, but she is quite enthusiastic about the power of the mortal world, and likes to see those who think they are smart being toyed with by themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that the task of escorting the dragon egg was too important, she would have wanted to stay in Stormwind City and slowly manage her own forces.
"Hey~"
Tilting her head and drinking the red wine in her glass, the humanoid Onexia dragged her tuxedo to the window, blowing the cool night breeze, looking at the two crescents hanging in the sky, and her eyes, which were always breathtaking, looked a little blurry.
"The future of the Black Dragons...... Is it? ”
……
Since Varian invited the Viscount of Deep Shadow, Saljan has been honestly staying in the temporarily rented mansion in the Mage District for the past three days.
Occasionally, he would step out of the house and wander around the mage and garden areas.
When he was outside, Saray could vaguely sense that someone was hiding in the shadows.
'MI7 spies? ’
Just like Quel'Thalas has a Backlight Blade, most countries will secretly cultivate a group of spies, and the Kingdom of Stormwind is no exception.
MI7 is the official spy organization of the Stormwind Kingdom before the First War, and their leader is a female thief named Pasonia Shore.
With the information provided by the barrage brainstorming, Sarian can know a lot of hidden information in advance, and will not be unsuspecting when encountered.
Pasonia Shore is a veteran thief who founded and thrived MI7.
Saljan has no ill will towards the Stormwind Kingdom, and although he is somewhat unhappy to be watched, he can also understand the other party's caution.
Because he also played some tricks in secret.
During the time that Salaen was out to attract attention, Stella Gossa sat in the mansion and used illusions to create a false image of Valeera's presence to confuse the thieves who were hiding in the shadows to observe.
But in fact, Valera had already quietly left the mage quarters, and spent three days in a row wandering around the noble residence near Stormwind Fortress.
The nobles thought that the private meetings they had held behind King Varian's back were hidden, but they couldn't hide Valeera's eyes.
After three days of follow-up, she locked on a mansion marked "Presto" on the door plate.
Due to the seclusion and low-key manner of the owner, Valeera had not yet seen the Lady Presto.
With the goal basically determined, Valera no longer stayed.
Evading the surveillance of MI7 thieves, she quietly returned to the temporary rented mansion of Sarren.
At this time, Salaan also returned from a day's performance, and the three of them closed the curtains and pretended to "enjoy life", and Stella Gosa blushed and made some rather exciting sounds with illusions.
But in fact, they were neatly dressed and hid in the master bedroom on the second floor with serious expressions to exchange information.
"Presto ......"
A cold light flashed in Sarren's slightly narrowed eyes: "The fox has finally revealed its tail." ”
Puzzled, Valera asked, "Is there anything special about this name?" ”
Sarian chuckled and explained, "In order to keep the war between the Alliance and the Horde longer, Deathwing, who represents Enzos, has been secretly balancing the strength of the two sides. ”
"His pseudonym in the human world is Baron Daval Presto, who claims to be a distant relative of King Aiden Pirenod of Alterac."
"What?!"
Valeera's eyes widened in surprise, and there was a chill behind her: "This ...... Has Deathwing ever been in close contact with many of the Alliance's leaders? ”
"Then why didn't he just kill those leaders, wouldn't that create more chaos?"
Salian shook his head: "A slap doesn't make a sound, Deathwing...... Or rather, what the Elder Gods needed was internal friction in Azeroth, not a monopoly on one side. ”
"If the Alliance loses all its leaders, the orcs will inevitably take the opportunity to seize the dominance of Azeroth, which will not do the Old Gods any good."
"The best thing to do is to balance the forces between the two sides, let them fight as long as possible, and the more chaotic the better."
"If it weren't for us assisting the Four Dragon Kings to knock Deathwing away in advance, that guy would have a lot of commotion in the future, and the ultimate goal was to prevent Azeroth from calming down."
"Hmmm......"
Valira held her chin and muttered, "Deathwing is far away, and his plans can only be continued by Nefarian and Onexia...... In other words, the tasks they are carrying out now are all arranged in advance by Deathwing? ”
"Hiss~ It's scary to think about it."
Sarjan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated, you really think that Deathwing is a magic hand?" ”
"Deathwing only sets the framework of the plan, and the specific execution depends on how Onexia and Nefarian play."
"Don't underestimate that brother and sister, they were both taught by Deathwing, and they all have their own way of playing with intrigues."
"If what you hear is true, Onexia also intends to join the expeditionary force...... Maybe we need to change our plans. ”
Valilla raised an eyebrow: "What do you say?" You're not going to take her down in Stormwind? ”
"Hmm." Sarjan's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you start a war in Stormwind City, no matter who wins or loses, it will cause harm to the innocent people in the city. ”
"Although the people of the Stormwind Kingdom are not our people, some of them may become heroes against the Burning Legion and the Old Gods in the future, and some will inevitably become members of the Azeroth Alliance, so try to avoid any damage that can be avoided."
Valera and Stella Gossaa froze when they heard this.
In today's era, due to the limitations of thinking, most people only think about themselves when considering the benefits and losses, and only a very few gifted people can focus on the overall situation.
Saljan was originally just one of the many living beings, obsessed with the little interests in front of him, and lacked the overall picture.
But under the subtle influence of the barrage, his eyes became more and more broadened after learning many secret news about Azeroth.
In the current social context, an existence like Sarean may be angrily scolded by his own people for eating inside and out, and turning his elbows outward.
But Sarren, who knew a lot about what was going to come, decided to stick to his own style.
A world and an era still need some "fools" to promote the progress of the times and the development of civilization.
Stella Gosa, who is not deeply involved in the world, is not too deeply touched by Sarren's unusual approach, but is only impressed by Sarren's broad view of the overall situation.
"That'...... What are you going to do? ”
"Heh~" Sarian curled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Since Onexia is also going to pass through the Dark Gate, we will put the location of the decisive battle in Draenor." ”
"It's empty enough for us to build with our hands and feet."
