"I won!"
Michaela raised her right hand and shouted in victory.
Senior commander Halford Wirmbane, who had been observing the battle situation from a distance, looked at Michaela, who also noticed her and stared back.
After a few seconds, Halford Wymbane finally ordered: "Retreat!"
At this point, the decisive battle in the blacksmith shop ended with the tribe winning.
When Celestine's companions, Cato Sicarius and Titus, walked up to Michaela, Michaela did not stop her: "Take her away."
Cato Sicarius nodded to Michaela, and then he and Titus picked up Celestine on the ground and left.
"Actually, this duel can involve life or death."
Torina asked Michaela: "Is it okay for you to let Celestine go like this?"
Michaela looked at the retreating alliance army and said slowly: "This battle of Arathi is originally a political game where everyone gets what they need. There is no need to kill everyone."
As Michaela said, during the retreat, Halver-Wymbane's adjutant asked him: "My lord, we haven't lost yet, why are we retreating?"
Although Celestine lost the duel, she was not the commander of the Alliance army, but a warrior recruited, so even if she fell, it would not cause the Alliance army to collapse. At most, it would have a slight impact on morale.
Halford Wymbane turned to look at the adjutant and said: "We are here not to fight for the tribe. As long as we get what we want, the outcome on the battlefield is actually not important."
The adjutant understood and asked: "How should we explain to the Arathor coalition?"
Halver-Wymbane
He said casually: "Tell Marshal Auslet that the tribe is powerful and we need to take a long-term approach."
Adjutant: "Yes!"
That night, in the blacksmith shop stronghold room.
The orc adjutant was flattering Mikaela: "Lord Warlord, you are so powerful. You can easily defeat the Alliance's warriors with your fists and force the Alliance to retreat. It seems that our victory in the Arathi Basin is just around the corner."
Torina jumped out and said, "Do you believe this?"
Of course Michaela didn’t believe it!
This tribal army is dominated by orcs, and all of them, including the orc adjutant, are Thrall's people. Mikaela's command is good, so they are quite obedient. If the war is reversed and the tribal army is suppressed by the alliance, what do you think of the orc adjutant? Will you still listen to Michaela?
I'm afraid this adjutant wouldn't have jumped out and taken over the command.
"okay."
Therefore, Michaela deliberately asked the orc adjutant: "What if we win the battle of Arathi Basin and drive out the alliance army completely?"
Yes, what to do next?
Putting aside the logistical supply issues for the tribal garrison, even Stormwind City will never be willing to fail. That would severely shake the Stormwind Kingdom's leadership position in the alliance, and the result would inevitably be to continue the war, or even expand the scale of the war until it goes into full-scale war.
Obviously, an all-out war is not what the leaders of both sides want to see.
Of course the orc adjutant understood this, so he chose not to answer.
Smart guy.
Mikaela glanced at the orc adjutant. He was indeed an orc trained by Thrall. He would not be like other orcs who would just talk about blood and glory and then fight randomly. Instead, he would think about war.
Purpose and meaning.
The purpose of the orcs sending troops to the Arathi Basin was to suppress the Forsaken and prevent them from continuing to expand, thereby ensuring the orcs' status in the tribe. Therefore, victory or defeat on the battlefield was not the first priority.
Just like that, the room fell into an awkward silence, with only the sound of everyone breathing, as if you could hear the sound of a pin dropping to the ground.
Until a few seconds later, Michaela raised her hand slightly and said, "Okay, adjutant, please step back first. I want to think carefully about the next tactics."
"Well, yes, Lord Overseer."
The adjutant glanced
Glancing at the shadow in the corner of the room, he asked, "Do you want me to call Miss Marlenia in?"
Michaela sat back on the governor's throne and said, "No need, I have no problem."
"Well, yes, then I'm resigning."
After that, the adjutant turned and left.
As soon as the adjutant stepped forward, Torina in the spiritual world jumped out: "Mikaela, the identification friend or foe system shows that there is someone in the shadow in the corner."
"I know."
Michaela didn't look back and said directly: "As expected of someone from MI7, how did you get in?"
"I'm just good at operating in the shadows."
Shadow spoke: "As expected of Master Michaela, just like Master Xiao said, you are very powerful."
"Okay, okay."
Michaela interrupted the agent: "You don't look like you are here to kill me, so what do you want to do? Be a perverted voyeur?"
The agent of MI7 is definitely not a pervert. His purpose is: "Ms. Michaela, since the tribe has asked you to be the warlord, you must also know the true purpose of this battle of Arathi. The previous performance has already
That’s it, it’s time to start trading. "
Calling war a performance and passing off the blood and death in it, isn't this another kind of cruelty?
But at least it's over now.
Michaela asked: "I don't know the name of the alliance commander yet."
"Ms. Michaela, you actually met him in Stormwind Fortress."
The agent replied: "His name is Halford Wymbane, and he is a subordinate of Regent Bolvar. What he means is that he wants to negotiate with you in the mine. Of course, he will only bring his confidants. In particular, he cannot let your people over there The Defiler Legion knows."
Nonsense, how could the Polluter Legion know about this negotiation.
Michaela also did not forget the "kind-hearted" reminder: "Remember to ask Halford Wymbane to be careful when he comes, so as not to let the Arathor coalition know."
The agent said: "I have no control over what the senior commander will do. I am only responsible for informing you. However, if Lady Michaela thinks this is our trap, it is okay not to go."
Oh, this guy is very good at talking, and he also knows how to fight back.
Mikaela certainly knows that neither Stormwind nor Orgrimmar wants to fight a protracted war in the Arathi Basin, so it is beneficial to both parties to complete the previously agreed deal through negotiation.
Because of this, the Alliance cannot set a trap.
"Well, I understand. The negotiation time is set for tomorrow morning, no problem." Michaela stated her request. After all, Michaela lost two contracted demons one after another (Douglas was only defeated, but the summoned clone was still there, can be summoned) and takes time to recover.
"Can."
Out of politeness, the agent asked before leaving, "Mikayla?"
Sir, do you have any other requests? "
When asked by the other party, Michaela really thought of one thing: "By the way, how about letting Celestine be the bodyguard of Commander Halford Wymbane?"
"Well, this request?"
The agent was a little confused: "Why do you ask that?"
Michaela put her hands behind her head and leaned on the back of the chair, saying, "I just think that the female paladin is pretty good, but has a naive mind, so I want to open her eyes."
The agent understood: "Hey, interesting, I understand."
With that, the MI7 agent disappeared from the shadows, as if he had never appeared before.
And Michaela shouted to the empty room: "Okay, come in, I know you are eavesdropping."
The orc adjutant immediately pushed open the door and entered, followed by Malenia.
"I'm sorry, Lord Overseer."
"I must ensure your safety," said the orc adjutant.
Marlenia also said: "Brother, that guy didn't do anything, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. After all, I
If he dies, the Alliance will no longer be able to negotiate. "
Michaela looked at the adjutant and asked: "Since Sal appointed you to be my adjutant, it means you are also the one who knows the inside story."
The orc adjutant smiled and said nothing.
Michaela understood and asked: "By the way, although I heard you introduce yourself before, during this time I forgot your name in order to deal with the war. I kept calling you adjutant, adjutant. I'm a little embarrassed. Can you Would you like to introduce yourself again?"
"No problem, my name is Razger."
Orc adjutant Razger said: "Also, please forgive me for being rude, Chief Thrall is appointing
When you were the warlord, I once doubted your ability, but now it seems that you are an excellent warlord. "
"So, Razger," Michaela said, "in addition to you and my sister, how many people do you think should be brought to tomorrow's negotiation?"
Razger said: "That's enough. Bringing too many people will only make the alliance suspicious."
"Ah, very good."
Razger's ideas coincided with Mikayla's.
The time came the next morning, and Mikaela, Raziger and Marlenia had arrived at the mine stronghold.
After the decisive battle in the blacksmith shop yesterday, the two sides maintained a tacit understanding that no one would occupy the mine stronghold, so the place still looked like a mess after the battle.
"Of course, this does not affect the negotiations."
Torina didn't forget to ask: "Michaela, the Alliance didn't come."
Is it a trap?
No.
Mikaela noticed that people from the Alliance were coming, a man and a woman (two people).
Of course, the woman was Celestine. After a night's rest, her injuries had healed, and she was the only one with the strength to fight against Mikaela.
As for the man...
The first time Mikayla saw him, she remembered that when she met Regent Bolvar in Stormwind Fortress, he was following Bolvar, so this person must be Halver, the senior commander of Stormwind City's reinforcements. -Wimbane.
"Um?"
At this moment, Adjutant Razger made a voice, and Marlenia also noticed the shadow of the mine on the right.
The MI7 agent also came, and the number was exactly three to three.
When the other party approached, Michaela glanced at Celestine, then immediately strode forward and faced Halford-
Wirmbane opened his arms and spoke a welcome speech:
"Haha, Halford Wymbane, long time no see."
"Yes, we meet again, old friends."
Halford Wymbane also opened his arms and smiled, hugging Mikayla like this, as if they were two old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Among the other people present, the orc adjutants Raziger and Marlenia showed no expression at all. The MI7 agent could not see his face and did not know what his expression was. Only Celestine was shocked on the spot after seeing this scene. jaw.
"W-what's going on? Why are you still hugging me?"
In Celestine's expectation, the two sides should be at war with each other and say harsh words to each other. Is there something wrong with my eyes?
There is certainly nothing wrong with Celestine's eyes. To be precise, she is the only one among the six people present who does not know the truth behind the battle of Arathi.
Now, the truth is about to be revealed, and it will completely shatter Celestine's views!
