"Marshal Leo, I'll report to you, please wait."

At the door of the Storm Fortress, a palace guard saluted Leo and hurriedly left, seeing the guard's figure disappear into the depths of the palace, Leo's eyes were a little wandering.

The Kingdom of Araso now doesn't have enough troops to support the Silver Crusade of Tyre, but that doesn't mean Leo can't do anything about it. The Kingdom of Araso does not have an army, but Stormwind City and Ironforge have it, and the fight against the Scourge Legion is not just a matter for the Kingdom of Aratho, they should also help.

So, Leo came to Stormwind.

The battle of Blackstone Mountain had just ended, and the elite of the Stormwind Kingdom had suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the dwarves and gnomes of Ironforge had suffered many casualties, but the losses of the new army of Aratho, who had been using magic weapons in the rear of the team, were negligible, which was why Leo was worried that he would not be able to borrow many men and horses this time.

"Hello."

A crisp child's voice came from behind him, and Leo turned to see little Anduin getting out of a carriage. The young precocious king was much happier than the child Leo remembered sitting on a throne that was too big for his body, presumably because of the return of his father, Varian.

"Prince Anduin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The human kingdom is full of disasters, and the royal family members seem to be beautiful but actually have an unknown bitter side, Leo only sympathizes with this little prince, although his approach was not so satisfactory at the beginning, but what do you expect Leo to do with him as a child?

"Leo, are you coming to the palace for something?"

Little Anduin looked at Leo as two elves jumped out of the carriage after him, Valella and Browl from the Spectre Wolf Iron Triangle, who did not leave after Varian returned to Stormwind, but accepted Varian's invitation to stay.

Nodding at the two elves as a greeting, Leo reached out and touched little Anduin's head and replied, "There is indeed something, the situation in the plague land has changed, and I have come to discuss with your father." ”

"Are there going to be wars again?"

Little Anduin's face was a little gloomy, fighting a war is to kill people and many people to die, just like the battle of Black Stone Mountain that just ended, the child of early wisdom is still a child after all, and Little Anduin is still very repulsed by these things from the heart.

Patting Little Anduin's immature shoulder, Leo sighed gloomily: "If possible, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life, but some things can't help us, if there is no sacrifice of the few, how can we ensure the happiness of the majority?" Your Royal Highness, you must understand that there will always be a lot of helplessness in living in this world, and everyone has responsibilities that he must bear. ”

Little Anduin looked at Leo in a daze, and the little prince suddenly said, "I regret it. ”

"Regret what? Is it because of me? Leo laughed, "My little prince, it's not entirely your fault, and besides, I don't blame you. You have to remember that there will always be times when people do wrong, and there will be times of regret, but don't keep drowning in remorse, you are the prince of the Stormwind Kingdom, and your subjects need you, so you must be strong. ”

Other children may only seem to understand this, but a precocious little prince has no difficulty in understanding, in other words, if it is an ordinary child, Leo is too lazy to say this.

"Leo, can you do me a favor?"

"Tell me about it."

Hearing little Anduin say that he would let him help, Leo became interested.

"The kingdom has captured more than 30,000 orcs, and my father wants to put them to death, but I don't think that's right."

"That's right." Leo rubbed his chin, those orcs should be the Blackstone Orcs scattered on the Burning Plains, after the Blackstone Mountain was destroyed, the Blackstone Orcs became rootless, powerless to fight against the army of the Stormwind Kingdom, "King Varian has his considerations, after the defeat of the Orcs, the humans did not kill them but spared their lives, but now, these Orcs have become a big threat to the Alliance, what would you do if it were you?" ”

If the orcs defeated the humans and killed them directly, how would there be the current tribe? Leo can understand Varian's approach, and if it were him, he would probably make the same choice, eat a trench and grow wise, and people can't fall in the same place twice.

"But didn't my father advocate letting the orcs go?"

Anduin Jr. heard what Leo meant, and the latter agreed with Varian's approach, and he argued unwillingly.

"Time has changed, the same thing has been done by the same person at different times, but the ending is different, there was Terenus at the beginning, but now there is not; There were no tribes, but now there are. ”

Leo touched Anduin's head again but found that Anduin was staring at him intently, and he was finally defeated in the stubborn eyes of the other party.

"Well, I'll try to save the lives of these orcs."

Saving the lives of the more than 30,000 Blackstone Orcs was not difficult for Leo, and Xiao Anduin, who was happy because of Leo's words, didn't know that sometimes being alive was even more sinful.

Valera and Brohl, who were standing beside Anduin Jr., had a look of thought in their eyes, they knew Varian too well, and it would not be easy to get him to change his mind.

The palace guards who had gone in to report came in a hurry, and he walked up to Leo and Anduin Jr. and saluted the latter before saying to Leo, "Marshal Leo, please come with me." ”

Knowing that Leo was going to see his father Varian, Anduin Jr. followed, anxious to know the outcome, and he was still a kid anyway and didn't have enough patience.

"Do you think your request is appropriate?"

Arriving at the palace hall again, Leo heard Salgas's voice coming from inside, and the dwarven general seemed to be arguing with someone.

Is it for the division of interests after the war in Blackstone Mountain?

Leo couldn't help frowning, and actually quarreled directly, the situation looked very bad, and the news from Scarlett was completely different, that stupid girl wouldn't report good news or bad news and fight things alone, right?

Stepping into the palace hall, Leo found that things were not what he thought, and that the dwarven general Salgas was indeed arguing with people, but not with other high-ranking members of the alliance but with an orc.

Itrieg!

Seeing the orc swordmaster Itreg in Stormwind City, Leo was not an ordinary accident, and little Anduin next to him did not expect to see an orc in his palace, and the little prince was looking at Itreg with curiosity.

Leo nodded to the others before turning to Itreig, "Long time no see, Itreig." Can you tell me what's going on? ”

Seeing that Leo was talking to Ittrigue, Salgas stopped talking, and the quarrel in the hall ended for the time being.

"Leo, it's nice to see you again. I have come on the orders of the High Chief to ask the Alliance to send troops, and it has now been confirmed that the Zermen of the Yaki Empire have broken through the wall of beetles, and although the Council of Cenarion has established a stronghold in Silishus to curb the expansion of the Zermen, the situation has inevitably deteriorated, and it is difficult for the Horde to fight these Zermen with the strength of the tribe alone. ”

It turned out to be for this.

Leo suddenly realized that the Chira beetles of Silishus were indeed a big problem, and because they had the support of Cthun, no one dared to take these bugs lightly, and they all wanted to reseal them before the army of beetles completely broke out of the beetle wall.

The threat to the beetle people is not very deep due to the fact that they are separated by an Endless Sea Alliance, but the tribe is different, the orcs, trolls and minotaurs who are also in the Kalimdor continent are very anxious about this, but the centaurs come out to make trouble again at this time, and the tribe's already small forces have been pinned down a lot, so that they can't read to complete this matter at all.

"Did I hear it wrong, when will the Great Chief of the Tribes order the warriors of our Alliance?"

Before Leo could speak, Salgas let out a mockery, and the conflict between the dwarven general and Itreg seemed to be deep.

"The Beetle People are a threat to the entire world, and the Alliance cannot stand idly by by relying on its geographical advantage."

Itreg was also not polite, and was very indignant at the Alliance's attitude that it was up to the tribe to fight with the beetles.

"Orc, watch your words, the Alliance will not sit idly by and ignore the threat of the beetlemen. We had just fought a pitched battle, and now the soldiers were exhausted and needed some time to recuperate before they could set out. Do you think that the threat of the beetle people is a threat, and the threat of the Black Dragon Legion and the Fire Demon is not? ”

This time it was Scarlett who spoke, and although the paladin knew that the orc Juggernaut had taught Leo melee skills for a while, she didn't buy it.

"So, when will the alliance be able to send troops?"

Seeing that it was Scarlett who spoke, Itreg did not fight-for-tat, but took the words of the female paladin and asked rhetorically, now what the tribe wants is a letter from the alliance.

"Let me tell me."

Leo spoke again at this time, when facing the beetle people of the Yaki Empire, it is indeed necessary for the two camps to join forces, and the current strength of the tribe alone cannot stop the surging insect tide, and once the beetle army completely breaks through the seal, it will be even more difficult to clean up the mess.

"What was the scene during the Battle of Blackstone Mountain, I think the Horde's people in Kargas will prove to us that the losses suffered by the Alliance's army in order to eliminate the threat of the Fire Demon and the Black Dragon Legion are beyond doubt, Itrig, you should have confirmed it before you came to Stormwind." As he spoke, Leo waved his hand to stop Itreig, who was about to speak, only to hear him continue: "After the army recovers from the previous war, the alliance's army will set off, but the target is not the continent of Kalimdor. I know the Tribe is having a hard time right now, but it's not easy for us either, the battle in the Plaguelands has deteriorated, and we have to deal with the threat of the Scourge first. ”
