Finally before the sun set, Mikaila successfully returned to the crossroads with Malenia and went to the hotel room to prepare for rest.
For them, a day passes like this, but for leaders who are diligent in government affairs, the day is still long.
For example, at this time, Thrall, the chief of the tribe, was burning the midnight oil in his private office, reviewing various documents. Buried in boring piles of documents is probably the fate of every politician.
At this moment, a portal suddenly opened behind Thrall!
Wait, if someone meets Thrall, why doesn't he go through the front door, but bypasses the checkpoints and goes directly to Thrall's room through the portal?
In other words, why were the teleportation coordinates of important locations such as the tribal chief's private office leaked? Isn't Thrall afraid that five hundred axemen will swarm him and chop him into pieces on the spot?
The answer is that Thrall knows who is coming:
"Gianna, I didn't expect you to come today."
Sal said the other party's name without looking back, and raised his hand to say: "Wait for me a moment, I haven't finished approving the documents here, and there are a lot of things going on recently."
Who would have thought that Jaina today was not as docile as usual. On the contrary, if Thrall looked back, he would find that there was no smile on her face, and she was as cold as ice.
It's a pity that Thrall didn't turn back, then Jaina will use actions to help him turn around!
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound that shook the whole office. The frightened Thrall was naturally unable to continue reviewing the documents and had to look back. It turned out that it was Jaina with a straight face who used the handle of the staff and a little arcane magic to knock the The movement caused by hitting the ground.
Before Thrall could speak, such a huge movement attracted another orc!
"What happened to the great chief?"
A dark-skinned orc opened the door to the office and walked in with one foot. He also happened to see Jaina holding a staff and Thrall who was approving documents.
"It's okay, Eitrigg."
Thrall waved his hand and said, "Guard the door."
"yes."
Eitrigg immediately exited the room, closed the door from the outside, and then stood guard at the door, explaining the situation to the Kor'kron guards who came.
After settling his men, Thrall can now fully deal with the human woman in front of him, the ruler of Theramore, the Archmage Jaina:
"What's wrong, Gianna, what makes you so unhappy?"
While speaking, Thrall, like a warm man, personally moved an animal skin chair and politely extended his hand to invite Jaina to sit down.
But Jaina was like your angry girlfriend. She hummed and did not sit down. Instead, she allowed Thrall to invite her right hand to 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 do you want to kill all my people in the northern fortress?"
"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. If the tribe wanted to attack Theramore, one of the ways was to penetrate the Northern Castle and then go south along the river bank.
But the problem is that Thrall has no intention of starting a war at all. His own army has not yet been mobilized. He only has a standing army to maintain daily security. How can he take the lead in this state? In other words, since we are not preparing for war, there is no reason to touch the northern castle opposite, right?
On the other hand, Jaina, with her understanding of Thrall, could tell just by looking at the confused expression on his face, but she still added:
"Sal, did you do this?"
At this time, the average leader will definitely say "no" and take away his own responsibilities first, and then talk about the next thing.
But Sal was different. He neither said "yes" nor "no", but asked for details first:
"Jaina, tell me, what happened in the Northern Castle to make you so angry?"
For many things, it doesn’t mean that you didn’t do it, but it really has nothing to do with you. Sometimes even if you didn’t do anything, you still have to take the shit out of you!
Jaina glanced at Thrall, raised her left hand and pinched her index and middle fingers in mid-air. As the magic wave flashed, a photo appeared between the two fingers.
Sal took the photo and looked at it, and a name immediately blurted out: "Michaela!"
As a former blood elf ambassador, Thrall certainly knew Michaela and had dealt with him personally. He also understood his strength through the Raging Rift incident. After the blood elf joined the tribe, the two sides had channels for communication. More The information also flowed into Sal's ears.
Jaina also took advantage of the situation and said: "Thall, do you know him?"
"Michaela was the ambassador of Silvermoon City, so I met him."
Thrall continued to introduce Michaela's identity to Jaina: "As far as I know, this person is a hero from Silvermoon City, known as the strongest demon warlock. If he takes action, he will kill your people in the Northern Castle and Not surprisingly."
"So, Thrall, it was you who did it!" Jaina immediately pressed forward.
Fortunately, Thrall had already asked Eitrigg to close the door, otherwise outsiders would see this scene...
Forget it, let’s deal with the woman in front of us first.
"How is that possible, Jaina!"
Sal opened his arms and hugged the beauty, and said in a gentle tone: "You know me, I will not do anything to you."
Jaina did not reject the other party, but she did not relax completely either. Thrall could feel that the other party's body was still stiff and knew that she had to come up with something practical, otherwise she would not be able to deal with the other party.
So, Thrall took the initiative and said, "Can I still trust you, Jaina?"
Gianna said without hesitation: "Of course, then are you willing to believe me?"
"Of course I believe it, as always."
The next second, Thrall took the initiative to reveal a major secret: "Jaina, my army has not started mobilizing. It is impossible to start a war in this state."
The mobilization of a country's army has always been kept secret. Jaina believed that Thrall did not lie to her, so the other party would not have plans to start a war.
"Since it's not you..."
Jaina expressed her conclusion: "So it seems that the blood elves did it secretly to please you? Thrall, I can't tell, your thighs are really thick!"
Sal could only smile awkwardly.
Since Thrall himself does not have the intention to start a war, it can only be explained as a unilateral action by the blood elves, but this makes Thrall a little difficult to deal with.
The Northern Castle matter is not trivial at all, and it is impossible to settle it. If it cannot be dealt with coldly in time, once it is bitten by the hawks on the Alliance side, it may be a full-scale war. This is not what Sal and Ji want. It's a situation that Anna wants to see, at least not now.
That's why Jaina chose to come directly to Thrall tonight to interview and resolve the matter. Now that Thrall has made it clear that he does not want to fight, it is time for this matter to come to an honorable end, at least on the surface.
As a result, Jaina immediately relaxed her body and said at the same time: "Thal, what are you going to do?"
Feeling that the body of the beauty in his arms became smooth, Sal knew that the other party's attitude had softened, so it was time for him to take action:
"I plan to send a note to Lor'themar, the regent of Silvermoon City, to inquire about the situation."
However, when Jaina heard this, her body stiffened again and she said coldly: "I'm not asking you this."
Sure enough, I can't do it without bleeding myself.
"All right."
Thrall took the initiative to let go of Jaina, walked to the desk and pulled out a map of the Mud Swamp, pointed to a location in the northwest corner of the map and said:
"Jaina, the Brackenwall Village there belongs to you as compensation for your loss in the Northern Castle."
(Stay: At this time, Onyxia is still in Stormwind City and has not gone to Mud Swamp, so Brackenwall Village is just a small tribal outpost, and the local Stonemaul Ogres are still at Stonemaul Camp to the south. .)
At this moment, Jaina's face really showed a smile, and she took the initiative to hug Thrall.
(Insert here, Jaina did not attack Brackenwall Village afterwards, so when the Black Dragon Princess arrived, the Stonemaul Ogres who fled from the south could regain a foothold in Brackenwall Village)
Soon the two parties were done, and the satisfied Jaina said goodbye to Thrall. The latter also breathed a sigh of relief. The woman's demands were getting more and more!
As the room became quiet, advisor Eitrigg, who had been guarding the door, walked into the room again, met with the warchief, and reviewed the Northern Castle incident with Thrall.
"This is quite strange, Chief."
Eitrigg touched his beard and began his analysis: "We have no plan to start a war, and there is no need to provoke the Alliance. The blood elves are also in the recovery period after the war, not to mention those who With the character of the elves, I don’t think they would deliberately try to please you.”
Sal also nodded in agreement, and continued: "If it is just Michaela's personal plan to attack the northern castle, it is meaningless. No matter how strong he is alone, even if he captures the castle, can he defend it? He There’s no army!”
So why did Michaela attack the Northern Castle?
At the same time, Jaina, who had returned to Theramore through the portal, was staying in her mage tower and her advisor, Archmage Tevorsh, was also reviewing the events in the Northern Castle.
"So, the strangest thing is Michaela's motivation."
Archmage Tevorsh: "I don't believe that the blood elves can do so well just by relying on the tasks assigned by Captain Sarothas!"
Sure enough, Captain Sarothas had been caught by Theramore, and he took the initiative to confess that he had issued a mission to attack the Northern Castle in Jingtooth City, but with the little reward from the mission, no one would be stupid. To a head-on confrontation with Theramore's regular army.
Gianna believed what her consultant said, so at this time she was already thinking about other possibilities, such as:
"I remember, Sal said that Mikaela is a warlock."
"Huh? Warlock!"
Mikaela's profession aroused the vigilance of Archmage Tevorsh, and Jaina also thought of something at the same time:
"Warlocks are guys who deal with demons, and many of them are even connected to the Burning Legion!"
In Thrall's office, Eitrigg also made the connection through Mikaela's profession: "Warchief, is Mikaela a supporter of the Burning Legion? There are many such people among warlocks, such as the Burning Blade clan. "
"If that's the case, then everything will be explained!"
At this moment, Thrall and Jaina, 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 start a war instead!"
