Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 421: Absence

The roar in the throne room still echoed in my ears.

"I object! Edmund is on his way to save Alexstrasza. We should continue to trust our deputy commander." King Llane argued angrily, like a wounded lion.

"I have always believed in him! I gave him two full weeks! But I waited until my son died in battle, and he still hadn't dealt with those damn red lizards!" Daelin came back and relentlessly retorted. The eyes of this sea lion who had just lost his penis were full of terrifying bloodshot.

Llane was speechless. Even if it were him, he would go crazy if anything happened to Varian.

Daelin continued to roar, and the fiery sound waves echoed in the hall. "Look at what he did in the past 14 days. Hundreds of soldiers died in the flames every day on the front line, but he spent 14 days on a road that could have been reached directly by griffins or portals! There was no progress report, no regular contact, and we didn't even know if he was alive. How can I, and the kings in the throne room, continue to trust him?"

"but..."

"Our deputy commander, who is cursed with death, is overdrawing the Alliance's trust in him at the cost of the lives of his soldiers." King Zeon said bluntly.

These words made Llane's heart skip a beat.

"Since the war began, which country has not suffered any casualties? War is always accompanied by sacrifice." Antonidas tactfully advised Llane to give up Duke.

Llane was trembling all over. For him and the Stormwind Kingdom, he and Lothar were destined to grow old, and in the future they would have to hand over the country to Varian, Bolvar, and Duke. Duke was definitely the hope for the restoration of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Emotionally and intellectually, he was unwilling to believe Duke's failure and fall.

Anduin couldn't bear it any longer: "At least wait for the last contact! He promised to send a magic communication every three days."

Terenas said in a businesslike manner: "Yes, but I hope that the commander-in-chief will put the alliance first and allow us to organize a large assault force first. If there is no news from the deputy commander-in-chief..."

Anduin Lothar gritted his teeth and said, "I agree!"

It's not over yet.

"Next topic - now that Deputy Commander Edmund Duke is unable to perform his duties, I propose that the Alliance appoint an additional deputy commander to coordinate the actions of various countries." Gene suddenly raised his hand and said.

The pupils of both Llane and Anduin suddenly shrank.

What the hell is going on in Gilneas?

Or has that old bastard Gene already reached some kind of private offensive and defensive alliance treaty with Terenas?

To be honest, without Duke, there are indeed problems with the league's coordination.

As Anduin's deputy, Turalyon temporarily took over Duke's job, but the result was not ideal. Turalyon had good leadership, but he could not handle logistics, troop movements, and fighting all by himself like Duke did.

The Alliance has been established for a year. It is no longer the situation where each kingdom is dissatisfied with the other and needs to find a neutral party to take the blame. In the absence of Duke, Turalyon's reputation is not enough to convince the public. This is the most fatal thing. He has never led an army alone, has no extraordinary bravery, and has no suitable title. It can be said that Turalyon was treated negatively by the kings of various countries when he was carrying out his work.

Moreover, in actual combat, it is often necessary to divide troops into multiple groups, so one deputy commander is indeed not enough.

As a result, it was natural that Alexandros Mograine, the great lord from Lordaeron, was elected as the second deputy commander with a high vote. In theory, he was below Duke, but every king knew that once Duke was dead, Mograine would be the actual deputy commander.

Back at the State Guesthouse, Llane was unusually furious: "Anduin, that bastard Terenas just wants to sideline you!"

Lothar was silent for a long time: "If this is for the victory of the Alliance, I can accept it."

"I'm afraid that old beast is not only after the victory of the alliance!" Llane swept everything on the table to the ground.

This is no longer a conspiracy, it is an open conspiracy.

Yes, everyone has noticed that Lordaeron has changed.

At first, every citizen of Lordaeron held the mentality that he was the savior who was high above and was here to save you bunch of fools, and that all countries should come and worship him, and joined this seemingly distant war.

But when the Horde burned down the Silverpine Forest, threatened the holy city of Stratholme, and even reached the outskirts of Lordaeron, and when the great power dignity of the Lordaeron people was ruthlessly trampled upon, everything changed.

It is no longer the kind of atmosphere where we can continue to enjoy peace and prosperity at home even if there is life and death fighting on the border. Instead, the entire country is showing a kind of extreme paranoia from top to bottom that is incomprehensible to outsiders.

revenge!

Not only does it want bloody revenge!

And it has to be a big and beautiful victory.

It was a great victory that would be worshipped by all nine kingdoms, including six human kingdoms, two dwarf kingdoms, and one elven kingdom.

Terenas's proud squadron of rogue agents had failed.

Finally, Terenas got the chance again.

The worst thing is that Lordaeron, as the leader, has set a very bad precedent...

Just when Llane was losing his temper, the guard reported that Duke's maid wanted to see him.

"Duke's maid?"

"Well, we've all seen her. Her name is Vanessa VanCleef."

"VanCleef?" Llane certainly remembered this last name. He was one of the two great heroes who helped the citizens of Stormwind gain a base behind enemy lines. "Let her in."

Vanessa comes in and says something that makes Llane furious!

"Your Majesty, please save my master's apprentice, Miss Ilucia Barov. The nobles of Lordaeron want to force her to marry you."

"What!?" Llane and Anduin lost their voices at the same time.

Almost everyone in the Alliance knew about the relationship between Duke and Ilucia. Ilucia, who was already Duke's right-hand man, appeared as Duke's spokesperson on many occasions, such as representing Duke at the diplomatic banquet in Quel'Thalas.

No one in Stormwind Kingdom expected that Duke had just lost contact and Lordaeron would attack Ilucia.

From Vanessa's angry narration, Llane and his friend learned the whole story.

It all comes down to one sentence - Terenas has his eyes on the land of Alterac.

Lordaeron was hurt, and the nobles of Lordaeron not only longed for glory and the blood of revenge, they also longed for tangible benefits.

King Aiden's lineage has been cut off, and Aiden himself will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame for betraying the Alliance and betraying humanity. The last obstacle to controlling Alterac is Duke Barov.

There are reports that the duke's two sons have joined the Horde, but this news has not been confirmed.
