Chapter 141: A Doomed Failed Assassination (Part 1)
Speaking of the participants in Karazhan's raid, Garona returned to Stormwind City one step ahead of Lothar.
Ryan has always been puzzled by this. After Garona came back in a daze, Ryan repeatedly asked about the situation at that time, but found that Garona's memory only lasted until she was stunned by Sargeras with the [Fear Technique].
Ryan and Bolvar didn't blame Garona too much.
On the battlefield, even the bravest knight may not be able to withstand a [fear technique]. Before the 'Dark Portal' incident, Ryan and Bolvar would have regarded Garona as a deserter. Now... Numerous battle cases have proved that people who do not have a particularly strong will or skill cannot be immune to this thing at all.
Moreover, when Garona came back, Ryan had already received the news that Lothar was injured but fine and that Duke was well. Coupled with the news of Medivh's death, Ryan really didn't have much thought for Garona when his childhood friend died and the other was injured.
Lothar injured his leg because of that battle, although he was fine. Not only did he sprain his ankle, in fact, during the big explosion that Medivh made, the protective shield Medivh used was not complete, and several pieces of gravel were inserted into Lothar's injured leg.
The result was that Lothar was clearly anxious, but no one dared to let Lothar ride the extremely bumpy griffin. Coupled with Ryan's strict order, Lothar could only come back in a carriage.
Coupled with the changes in the battle situation, the front of Elwynn Forest is constantly moving towards Stormwind City. Lothar and his party had to go from east to west, almost crossing the entire Twilight Forest before returning north to Stormwind City.
The poor vision of the Twilight Forest also greatly delayed the return of Lothar and his party.
When Lothar had no rest and rushed back to Stormwind City desperately, they had already returned to Stormwind City a full month later than Garona.
Seeing Garona standing beside Ryan, Lothar suddenly remembered Duke's words.
As a half-orc, Garona was not qualified to enter the power core of the Stormwind Kingdom. In the Lothar message sent earlier, Lothar vaguely reminded Ryan to guard against Garona, and he also secretly sent a message to his men to keep an eye on Garona.
Garona is too harmless, but Garona's information is too important. For the tribe, human beings have a blind eye, and many military situations can't get around her.
Ryan also tried to isolate Garona first, and then sent someone to ask her if there was anything wrong.
Garona was not annoyed either, she answered every question.
The problem is that the military situation is urgent!
For example, the combat strength of the various clans of the orcs can be described as uneven. It seems that clans like Blackstone and Warsong are absolutely fierce, not only with strong individual capabilities, but also with a large number of people. When the orcs invaded, troops would often be sent out in units of clans.
The second-tier clans are quite different, such as the Thunder King clan.
The unknown clans in the third line are even worse, because they are completely behind in terms of numbers, equipment, and basic combat power.
The difference in combat power may be that a warrior of the first-line clan fights 10 human soldiers, and it becomes 1 to 3 when it reaches the third line.
However, the orc flags are not only ugly, they are all handmade. With one slip of the hand, the flag of the same clan can be transformed into several totems. In addition, Scout's art classes are taught by physical education teachers. Mistakes add to mistakes, and accidents are naturally prone to accidents at the rear command post.
Ryan and the senior generals have been miserable by such crap more than once. The most serious time was almost filled with an elite army formed before the war.
It's different with Garona.
No matter what kind of ghost symbol it is, she can recognize which clan it is at a glance. Tell the characteristics, number, and combat power of that clan in one mouthful. In the eyes of many military officers, Garona is simply the treasure house bestowed by heaven on the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Even if it is a temporary battle and retreat, plus repeated battles and repeated defeats, at least the losses are decreasing.
Among Duke's proposals left by Marcaro, another time was to take advantage of the summer and dry weather to send a death squad to ride around on horseback and set fire to the East Valley Logging Camp.
This fire is so cool!
A total of 3,000 elite members of the Blackrock Clan were burned down, but the price Stormwind City paid was only five dead men.
With the passage of time, Garona has unknowingly become an important minister of the kingdom, and she must participate in every military meeting.
Especially when the Horde captured the Golden Town, the gateway of Stormwind City, and was about to arrive under Stormwind City, military meetings were held more frequently.
This military meeting looks no different from any previous military meeting.
The only difference is that Prince Varian, accompanied by the queen, listened quietly.
Ryan originally opposed Varian's participation in the military discussion. The queen's words changed Ryan's mind.
"Ryan, Varian is ten years old. In my opinion, this war with the orcs will last for a long time. Five years later, ten years later, can you guarantee that you can still command the army like you do now? Can you guarantee that the storm Is the next king of the kingdom's citizens an excellent king who knows how to fight?"
Lane was silent. Mortals will eventually grow old. Faith is passed down from generation to generation. If it was a peaceful age, Ryan might not have exposed children to these things too early. But this is the age of war, and even Ryan himself doesn't know when he will go to the battlefield in person.
Swords have no eyes, and no one can guarantee that they will come back alive every time they go to the battlefield.
Once he is dead, Stormwind will need a new king.
"Well, you convinced me."
On this day, the little prince Varian was very excited. Although his good court education allowed him to sit extremely quietly in his seat, his eyes swept over Lothar from time to time.
Varian especially admired Lothar, not only because Lothar taught him swordsmanship, but also because of Lothar's various legendary stories. The scorching gaze made Lothar feel uncomfortable during the military discussion several times.
He was also curious about Garona. Both his father and queen often contacted this wonderful female half-orc, and often mentioned her goodness, but for safety reasons, he didn't have much chance to contact this Garona.
The military discussion seemed a bit boring to Varian. A group of generals were red-faced because of something. Everyone insisted on their own opinions. finalize.
At this moment, Garona suddenly had a headache, she covered her head with one hand, and pressed the other on the military sand table.
"What's wrong?" Ryan asked concerned.
In the next moment, a cold light flashed in the eyes of everyone around the military discussion table.
Because of Lothar's insistence, there are always two best royal guards by Ryan's side, fully armed, guarding one left and one right.
When the cold light was cold, the reaction of the guard sandwiched between Ryan and Garona could not be described as unpleasant. He has been staring at Garona intentionally or unintentionally, so his reaction is the fastest.
