103 The Princess' Servant

After the king spoke, the whole meeting fell silent. Mrs. Presto was like a lioness who had just hunted an ox. Although her victory was significant and prevailing, she still carefully observed all other male oxen that might pounce on her, guarding against these cowardly and ignorant, timid and fearful herbivores used their sharp horns to make a hole in their beautiful fur.

"The north of Stormwind City is only a few dozen kilometers away from the plains of Black Rock Mountain." She whispered loudly: "Some people say we can rest assured by these natural barriers, but these people forget how the wolves and ogres who were rampant in the Orc War easily crossed mountains and forests, and other places our soldiers dared not go deep into to attack our strongholds and villages."

"Hupan Town was attacked by orcs, and many people finally remembered to attack me with this matter. But have you ever thought about suppose that all your troops are placed in the eastern region, and Storm City is vacant, and we may even face the orcs' raids from the sea or from mountains."

"On the sea? Damn what was she talking about..."

"You forgot the Battle of Hillsbrad!"

The nobles argued, but Katrana completely ignored these meaningless buzzing sounds.

"The confrontation with the orcs is a long-term process, dear sir." She lowered the sharpness in her tone and said lightly: "But before the foreign war, we need to figure out internal problems first, such as how this rebel mage turned a group of scattered soldiers into sharp swords inserted into the kingdom."

Hearing that the king's consultant placed all the hostility on the wizard sanctuary, several mages in the conference hall showed anger. One of the mages even muttered to his colleagues next to him: "If Master Kadega is still there..."

"It's just a bunch of cowards." Varian Wrien's fist hit the handrail of the throne, pointing to the mage who had just spoken, saying: "Of course I hope the mage sanctuary does not have to bear the main responsibility in this farce, but your words and actions are becoming more and more unbelievable."

"What did the court mage and your magic sanctuary put all the responsibilities on Uncle Medivh?"

"Maybe you should return to Dalaran, at least Dalaran's ruler, Kenreto, finally did not cause a farce to expel a defected mage and destroy a town."

Dahl stood aside and listened to Varian saying this, feeling a little amused and crying.

Of course, Varian could not know how much trouble Kel Thuzad, a member of the six-member parliament who betrayed Kenreto several years later, was caused by the problems Morgans had in Red Ridge Mountain. Compared to this master, the problems Morgans had in Red Ridge Mountain were nothing.

"Your Majesty, maintaining independence from the Kingdom of Dalaran is a policy formulated by your fathers, and we should not question it." Katrana smiled and looked at Varian, showing an objective and fair attitude, saying: "I still hope that whether it is an investigation or possible punishment, it will be limited to the kingdom."

Varian knew that it was a bit extreme that he had just confused the saint of the wizards with Dalaran, so he nodded.

Lord Bervar leaned slightly and suggested: "At present, we should strengthen the reconnaissance and armament near the East Valley to guard against the small orc troops that may enter. In addition, I think Lord Antedelai's proposal can be partially taken, that is, seek help from other autonomous lords."

Varian shook his head and said, "Gran Town is also troubled by some problems of black magic. We should not have too much demands on them after the disaster of Karazan."

"What about Westfal?" Antelle, who stood beside him, asked: "Westfal has always been one of the richest places in the kingdom. Although it has suffered considerable damage in the war, it is the fastest recovery area in the country. Should we ask Yuexi Town for help?"

"There are gnolls in Westfar, sir," Bewal reminded.

The king shook his head, as if he was hesitating about the current predicament. He thought for a long time before saying, "Write a letter to the Bronzebeard King of Iron Fortress. The orcs' problems are what the kingdoms of Azeroth need to face together."

"Remember to write letters to King Terenas II and Speaker Antonidas, and let them be wary of it."

"In addition, even if all the dominions are facing difficulties, I still hope to hand over the royal information to the mayors and consuls. The Storm Kingdom is facing another crisis, and I hope everyone can help as much as possible in this crisis."

"I will consult the Palace Mage Group to set up an investigation team to contact Master Andomas of the Mage Sanctuary, hoping to improve the process of handling Shadow Witch Practice within Storm City to avoid similar incidents again."

"The storage system of shadow books in our library should also be adjusted. What do you think, ma'am?"

"I agree completely." Katrana smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "The disaster has happened, and it is still time to remedy it."

It seemed that she had no objection to the transfer of troops under Westfal's leadership, which surprised Varian.

Seeing everyone reaching a consensus, the king finally breathed a sigh of relief. As for the members of the saint of the wizard who looked like they had eaten a fly not far away, he chose to ignore it.

Afterwards, Varian and the nobles began to meet with the townspeople who escaped from the Red Ridge Mountain, obeying their miserable experiences and the difficulties and discrimination encountered in Stormwind City. But in the end, the kingdom could only place them in several surrounding towns and monasteries to survive, and could not let them enter the city.

After all, when a group of war refugees gather in a refugee camp, the consequences are only riots and plagues.

When the deputies left, Varian signaled Katrana to go to the room behind the Throne Hall later, saying that there was a notice from MI7.

Dahl subconsciously felt a little uneasy, but as a small pawn of the Presto family, he was not qualified to enter the private meetings of the king, consultants and intelligence officials, so he could only leave with the nobles and servants.

But just as he was about to leave, Katrana stopped him.

"Miss."

Dahl turned around and looked at Onyxia as she walked over from the crowd that kept bowing her head and signaling her to her face, with a rare smile.

"I'm glad Victor is willing to let you out," she whispered: "That guy never wants to share even a little benefit, but he won't feel ashamed of other people's good things... I thought he wouldn't let you come to Stormwind to help me do things."

“Many fellow tribes like me are able to work for the family, ma’am,” Dahl said modestly: “They are all like me, even better.”

"No." Onyxia said: "The detailed information you brought about about Morgans came in handy. You are the fastest growing young member I have ever seen, far more than most of the waste I have raised, so that I feel that Victor's ridiculous plan is getting more and more ridiculous."

"And now you've escaped from those dirty orcs and can really do some more important tasks."
