Chapter 66: Confrontation with Bolvar

On the second day after the coronation ceremony, Garin met with envoys from various forces again as the King of Stormgarde.

"King Garin, King Varian wants me to ask you something on his behalf." Bolvar Fordragon, Grand Duke of Stormwind, was the first to stand up, and his tone was very radical.

Garin had long known that Stormwind was not a good country, but he would just fight back. He wanted to see what Varian Wrynn wanted to say, so he said, "Please speak, Grand Duke Bolvar."

"First of all, King Varian wants to know why Stormgarde sent troops to occupy the land east of Hillsbrad Foothills, as well as Alterac City and Dalaran. Stormgarde wants to occupy Hillsbrad Foothills as an excuse to continue to fight against the Scourge, right?" Bolvar Fordragon, Grand Duke of Stormwind, came up and denounced the occupation of Hillsbrad Foothills by Stormgarde, which instantly filled the palace of Trollbane with gunpowder.

Garin did not immediately answer the targeted question from Grand Duke Bolvar of Stormwind, but said, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask Grand Duke Bolvar a few questions. First, who first discovered the betrayal of the Kingdom of Alterac and conquered the Kingdom of Alterac, avoiding a greater crisis? Second, which human tribe did the Alterac Mountains originally belong to?"

"Uh... it was the Kingdom of Stormgard that discovered the betrayal of the Kingdom of Alterac, and it was King Thoras Trollbane who led the Stromgard militia to conquer the Kingdom of Stormgard. As for the Alterac Mountains, it belongs to the Oranqi tribe." Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon of Stormwind was not so politically intelligent. He did not react to the implication of Garin's words, but answered the question directly.

Controlling Grand Duke Bolvar of Stormwind who fell into his trap, Galen laughed and said, "That's right! Then, Grand Duke Bolvar, I have to ask you, it was our Kingdom of Stormgard that exposed the betrayal of the Kingdom of Alterac. With such a huge contribution, why was Hillsbrad Foothills occupied by the Kingdom of Lordaeron? Moreover, the Alterac Mountains and Hillsbrad Foothills originally belonged to our Oranchi tribe and the Trollbane family. I just took back the land that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Stormgard and fulfilled the last wish of my father, King Thoras Trollbane."

The ownership of Hillsbrad Foothills was a pit left behind in the past. Whether from the merit or the claim, Hillsbrad Foothills should not belong to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

However, the Kingdom of Lordaeron, relying on its strong national strength and influence, forcibly occupied Hillsbrad Foothills, ignored the requests of other Alliance countries, and directly made the angry Kingdom of Stormgard withdraw from the Alliance.

"Then... how do you explain the Dalaran incident, King Galen, why did you save the blood elves who were with the Naga, occupy Dalaran, and drive away the Lordaeron Restoration Army that wanted to retake Dalaran?" The incident in Hillsbrad Foothills was indeed not fair to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon of Stormwind City could not say anything, so he shifted to the Dalaran incident.

Galen "Then I have to ask you again, Grand Duke Bolvar, who recaptured Dalaran from the Scourge? On what basis did Osmar Garithos directly judge and decide to execute the prince of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas?"

"This...this..." After the previous lesson, Grand Duke Bolvar did not directly answer Galen's question. He found that once he returned to Galen, he would be led by the other party.

But can you just not answer?

He quickly turned his attention to the Kirin Tor Chief Mage Rhonin, and asked with a fake smile, "Chief Mage Rhonin, what do you think?"

Originally, Chief Mage Rhonin wanted to be a troublemaker and rely on Stormwind Grand Duke Bolvar to make Galen spit out the ruins of Dalaran, but seeing the current situation, Chief Mage Rhonin understood that Grand Duke Bolvar was no match for Galen.

The sudden question made Chief Archmage Rhonin shudder. Coupled with the murderous look of Quel'Thalas Ranger General Lor'samar Theron, Rhonin was afraid that Galen would tell the story of the Kirin Tor and Lordaeron Grand Marshal Osmar Garithos colluding to murder the blood elves. Rhonin replied tremblingly, "It was King Galen and Prince Kael'thas who recaptured Dalaran and defeated the Scourge. Osmar Garithos wanted to seize Dalaran while King Galen was away, and he wanted to target the blood elves because of personal grudges."

In order to protect the Kirin Tor and prevent Galen from settling accounts with the blood elves, Chief Archmage Rhonin decisively pushed all the blame on Lordaeron Grand Marshal Osmar Garithos.

"Instead of pointing his weapons at the Scourge, he came to harm his allies who helped him. Grand Duke Bolvar, what do you think of what Uthmar Garithos did?" Garin decisively denounced Uthmar Garithos according to Rhonin's words, and asked for the opinion of Grand Duke Bolvar of Stormwind.

Once Rhonin, the chief archmage of the Kirin Tor, proved it, all the problems were the responsibility of Lordaeron Grand Marshal Uthmar Garithos, and it was useless for Grand Duke Bolvar of Stormwind to hold him accountable.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon of Stormwind began to re-examine the king of the Kingdom of Stormgarde. The Garin Trollbane he witnessed was completely different from what Varian Wrynn told him. This was definitely a tough opponent, or a wise king.

Knowing that it was useless to hold him accountable, Grand Duke Bolvar of Stormwind spoke out King Varian's last order, "It is indeed Osmar Garithos's fault, but King Galen, the Scourge is now wreaking havoc in the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms. We must unite to fight the Scourge, so King Varian asked the Kingdom of Stormgarde to send its legions to the Tirisfalien territory to fight the Scourge as soon as possible."

"Panic!" Galen knocked hard on the throne of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, and then stood up. This commanding tone directly angered Galen. He angrily asked, "Why does Varian Wrynn order me? Does he already regard himself as the leader of the Alliance, just like Terenas Menethil II did?"

"I want to know, the Scourge has been going on for so long, what has Stormwind done?

Admiral Daelin Proudmoore of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras personally led the Royal Fleet of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras to help the Kingdom of Lordaeron fight against the Scourge.

The Kingdom of Gilneas sent the Gilneas Brigade to help Lady Jaina's Lordaeron Exiles.

Our Kingdom of Stromgarde successively sent two Stromgarde militias to help Lady Jaina's Lordaeron Exiles and Osmar Garithos's Lordaeron Restoration Army.

King Magni Bronzebeard of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan sent a dwarf army.

Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas temporarily put aside the grief of the destruction of his country and his family, and resolutely led the elite blood elves to help the former allies of the Alliance to fight against the common enemy.

Only you, the Kingdom of Stormwind, did not send a single soldier, not even a grain of food, but now you order me to go to Tirisfal Glades to fight against the Scourge! "
