"Shhh

But Duke's astonishing words are yet to come.

"After I went back, I went to Master's secret library and read a lot of materials in private. When Medivan paid tribute to the Black Hourglass that day, I was 60% sure that it was Sargeras, the Fallen Titan and Burning Legion boss who possessed Medivan. ”

What? Medivan is possessed by Sargeras?

They really don't know if they are surprised or delighted. At this moment, their mouths were mixed.

They understood exactly why Duke had chosen to keep his mouth shut.

What was Duke's identity at that time? Not to mention that at that time, even now, if Medivan hadn't revealed himself, they would still be in the dark, not knowing that Medivan had rebelled. After all, a black hourglass can't prove anything.

Now, Duke has bluntly pointed out that Sargeras did it.

Ryan and Anduin are both happy and scared. Rejoicing because their old friend Medivan most likely didn't really betray their friendship and betray all of Azeroth. I'm scared because that's Sargeras!

As knowledgeable and literate aristocrats, they certainly knew who Sargeras was, and what Sargeras had done to the world of Azeroth ten thousand years ago.

Anduin asked tentatively, "How can you be sure it's Sargeras?"

"It's a not-so-secret secret, and many mages know it. More than 320 years ago, the previous Guardian, Medivan's mother, Egwen, once traveled to a magical world. She stops a group of demons who are hunting dragons, and then encounters Sargeras, the demon king of the Burning Legion. Harnessing the power of the Guardians, who poured into the Six, the strongest mage group in all of Azeroth, she defeated the Demon King and sealed his body. ”

"Seals?" asked Lothar.

"The exact matter is not recorded in the literature, and it is estimated that only the people of the Council of Tirisfa will know about it. But judging by the deep Titan aura, only the soul of Sargeras could be so powerful......"

Even with Duke's uncertain speculative tone, Ryan and Anduin instinctively believed it to be a fact. Because it was meant to be true, and Duke's words were just a hint to them. Naturally, they would have crossed Duke's words with a variety of information.

King Ryan's ten fingers dug deep into his thick hair, his pupils a little dilated: "Oops, if the Demon King steals the Guardian's magic, the Council of Tirisfa will fail...... Egwene also failed...... Wouldn't there be no one in all of Azeroth who could clean up Sargeras?Oh my God, the kingdom of the storm is almost over, and what kind of face do I, the fallen monarch, have to go to see the first monarch......"

Anduin was never short of courage, but at this moment, his face was also dead.

At this moment, the entire reception room seemed to be hit by the magic of time stopping.

Duke stood up in the stunned gaze of Ryan and Anduin, raised his head, and whispered, "Needless to say, Your Majesty. Things can still be salvaged. Have faith. Confidence doesn't necessarily mean winning, but if you don't have faith, you will definitely lose. You don't even have confidence in yourself, how can you get the people, the soldiers, and the nobles to support you?"

"Since I, Duke Marcus, stand here, and Anduin Lothar stand here, and since there are thousands of people who support you standing behind you, who dares to say that the future of this kingdom will be destroyed until we all fall?"

"If the destruction of the Stormwind Kingdom is an inevitable fate, then I will change it for you. ”

"I've been preparing for this day from the moment I knew something was wrong. I've wished countless times that this was just my ineffective labor. But now that this has happened, shouldn't we do more to avoid all of this in order to stop more people from crying, and to stop the griffon soldiers who died in the Red Ridge Mountains?"

Duke's tone was calm and passionate, and after listening to Duke's words, Ryan straightened his waist almost as if he had been electrocuted, and raised his head.

Ryan straightened his appearance, nodded at Anduin who was full of concern, and then smiled bitterly at Duke, "Sorry for making you laugh." As a king, I have to be an example to the people and the nobility! Okay, Duke, I think you've thought of a lot of ideas, take them out at once, don't hide them. ”

Anduin also gave Duke's most sincere smile, and he also noticed that Ryan had been depressed recently, and he didn't expect Duke's encouragement to be so effective.

"Do you have a map?" Duke asked Lothar.

As the supreme military commander of the kingdom, Lothar always carries a simple map with him. He spread out the map on the coffee table on the spot.

Duke pointed to the map and said:

"First of all, fighting against the entire orc tribe is not a matter for one country in the Stormwind Kingdom. If you can't get reinforcement from Lordaeron and Riptide Castle anytime soon, your Majesty, you need to be prepared to defend Stormwind to the death. In the unlikely event that I strongly advise Your Majesty that you let the women and children cross the sea and head north, beyond the dwarven territory of Danmoro, which is also exposed to the orc soldiers, to the hills of Hillsbrand further north. Because there, Your Majesty, you can get ample support from several other human kingdoms. It is completely possible to transport women and children back to the Stormwind Kingdom to continue military supplies and soldiers. ”

With the dwarven Ironforge under attack from the Horde, Duke was right, and Ryan and Anduin nodded at the same time.

In fact, in 'history', the defeated Lothar also brought the remnants of the Stormwind Kingdom and the people to do the same. It's just that the situation in the Stormwind Kingdom is not so bad that Duke didn't propose a national retreat.

Seeing that Ryan agreed, Duke continued, "Second, I propose to build a fortified defense near the town of Shining Gold. ”

Anduin interrupted, "It's useless. We have proved with blood in the Red Ridge Pass that a mere fortress cannot stop the orcs from attacking. ”

"No, that's your tactics wrong. Duke took out a drawing from his bosom and handed it to Lothar: "Build it in my style, and make sure that you can continue to bleed the orcs." ”

Lothar was a man of knowledge, and when he saw Duke's drawings, he said yes.

"Third, I strongly suspect that Medivan has a direct connection with this orc invasion frenzy, so I suggest that the two of you consider whether to send a commando team to raid Karazhan directly. ”

Ryan's face froze instantly, and he began to hesitate: "Medivan, who is controlled by Sargeras, yes, he betrayed the world of Azeroth. But what does the raid on Karazhan have to do with solving the crisis of the orc invasion right in front of us?"

Just as Ryan was making a decision because of his feelings, a royal guard knocked on the door and he walked in, even though he had deliberately lowered his voice.

Duke heard it anyway: "There is a strange orc woman who speaks a fluent lingua franca and says she wants to see His Majesty, and she has brought with her the corpse of Khadgar, a disciple of Medivan. ”

What?Khadgar is dead!?
