The Lordaeron army marching all the way suddenly changed its action strategy in Tarren Mill, changed its previous impetuous style, and stopped in this small town.

As the army of Lordaeron stopped, the tense atmosphere in Hillsbrad also calmed down.

However, the countries involved know that this situation is only temporary.

The news of Terenas' relapse and coma was strictly sealed by Lordaeron. Except for Quel'Thalas who obtained accurate information through special channels, other countries still knew nothing about it.

Although they don't know what Terenas is doing, all countries in the Eastern Kingdom know that the increasingly stubborn King of Lordaeron will not give up so easily, and the crisis of the Kingdom of Stormgard is not over yet. .

The Kingdom of Garin is missing, and the princes and ministers of Stormgaard who hid in the Valley of Refuge are leaderless.

In order to ensure that he would be able to inherit the throne, Garin killed many of his fellow Trollbane people one after another. Danath, who was most likely to threaten his succession, was also exiled to Draenor far away, and it was difficult to find him in a short time. back.

A country cannot live without a king for a day.

In view of Garin's useless performance of corrupting the country's power over the years, the Stormgard nobles and ministers hiding in the valley of refuge finally decided to temporarily form a regency council after a lot of friendly discussions.

Regardless of whether Garin is still alive or not, the Regent Council will treat the king who ran away and ruined the country's prestige as dead.

When Darnath Trollbane returns from Draenor, the Regent Council will return power to the Trollbane Crown.

Prior to this, the Regency Council will take full control of all affairs in Stormgard, with taking back the capital, Stromgarde, as the top priority.

According to the information sent back by the frontline scouts, it can be said that demons are dancing in Stromgarde.

In addition to the Deadwood troll who broke through the city, the Stonefist Ogre wandering in the Arathi Highlands also took the opportunity to sneak in and occupy an urban area, and there were also Syndicate thieves who came from Hillsbrad to get chestnuts from the fire.

In addition to the militia guards composed of civilians who have not escaped from Stromgarde and have remained in the core city, the four major forces are vying for each other in Stromgarde, and the situation in the city has become a mess.

This is only the domestic situation, Lordaeron's army is still eyeing Tarren Mill.

The dilapidated Thoradin's Wall couldn't stop Lordaeron's soldiers at all, and the funds that were originally intended to be used to repair the wall had long been squandered by Garin.

Is the faint king who caused Stormgard to lose his capital still alive?

Unbeknownst to the Council of Regents in the Valley of Refuge, members of Quel'Thalas' Intelligence Service found out about his whereabouts.

Garin didn't run away, this guy hid in a tower on the west side of Stromgarde near the coastline, surrounded by only a dozen or so incompetent people who could only sycophant.

After consulting Silvermoon City with the spell of sending messages, the thieves from the Intelligence Bureau quietly contacted the Temporary Regency Council of Stormgard and told them the information.

When Kael'thas received the feedback from the front, his face showed such an expression.

The Regency Council entrusted Quel'Thalas to assassinate the faint King Garin, creating a fait accompli of the monarch's death, so as to ensure the legitimacy of the Regency Council.

Kael'thas had some doubts about the intention of the Regency Council to issue this entrustment, and seemed a little hesitant for a while.

Sharlayan stood up and persuaded him at this time.

"We don't need to know the true intentions of the Regency Council, all they want is a result."

"And, who said we have to do what they say?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Sharlayan's face: "We can secretly 'escort' Garin back to Quel'Thalas, and declare to the Regency Council that Garin is dead."

"If this matter is over, we can support Garin to the end of his life."

"However, if the Regency Council wants to engage in some scandalous operations, we can also use facts as evidence to refute it, so as to avoid being accused of assassinating the head of state of another country."

Suddenly, Kael'thas decided to adopt Sharlayan's proposal.

A small group of thieves from the Intelligence Bureau successfully sneaked into the tower and easily captured Jialin who was still in a state of intoxication.

They also conveniently disclosed the coordinates of the tower to the deadwood troll who was searching nearby, playing a trick of killing people with a borrowed knife.

After learning of Galin's "death", the Regency Council sitting in the Valley of Refuge no longer hesitated.

They raised the banner of Stormgard openly and called on the troops scattered all over Arathi to gather in the Valley of Refuge to form a recovery army.

Stormgard, who still retained a considerable amount of military strength, began to counterattack Stromgarde from the outside in, intending to end the farce before Lordaeron entered Arathi in the name of assisting allies, and did not give Lordaeron a chance to make use of it. .

Terenas, who fell ill again in a short period of time, couldn't afford it, and fell asleep intermittently on the sickbed for more than a week, occasionally swearing a few words in a daze, completely unable to govern.

As a last resort, the prime minister sent information to Tarren Mill, despite the risk of being punished by Terenas, requesting Lordaeron Crown Prince Alsace to return to the royal city to supervise the country.

In fact, there are still close relatives of the royal family staying in the royal city of Lordaeron at this moment, but that Princess Calia has never received any political education, and Terenas positions her as a vase for marriage.

In contrast, Prince Alsace, who is only 14 years old, is still young, but under the guidance of Terenas, he knows the general process of governing the country after three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.

Just as Lordaeron and Stormgard were disturbing, Sharlayan, who was straightening out domestic affairs, quietly teleported to Dalaran, preparing to discuss Kel'Thuzad's follow-up arrangements with Antonidas.

Kel'Thuzad was indeed exiled from Dalaran because of his unauthorized research on forbidden psychic spells, but the two parties who ordered the exile and the exiled did not tear themselves apart because of this, after all, this was part of the plan Sharlayan had decided long ago.

In addition to discussing the matter of Kel'Thuzad and the filling of the Kirin Tor Councilor, Kael'thas also added a burden to Sharlayan's trip to Dalaran.

Sharlayan needs to represent the Sunstrider royal family to discuss with Antonidas the important matter of rebuilding the Tirisfal Council.

This time Sarlayan had only two entourages, one was Onyxia who was stalking and never let go, and the other was Little Xingxing who was sent by Valeera to monitor the Black Dragon Princess.

The playful Tinagosa really wanted to come over, but unfortunately, she was forced by Stellagosa to stay in the territory to familiarize herself with the secretary's responsibilities and assist Valeera in managing the territory.

In fact, the development of Sharlayan's territory has long been on the right track, and there are not many heavy affairs to deal with.

Stellagosa just didn't want her sister to be raised as a useless person who just opened her mouth for food. She wanted her to learn to support herself and exchange labor for money.

There is one thing to say, Sharlayan, who is so poor that he only has money left, pays the wages of the migrant workers in his own territory not low.

As long as Tina is willing to calm down and work hard for a month, the salary she gets will definitely meet her daily expenses, and there is no need to worry about not having enough money if she spends too much.

Dragons have never had this practice of distribution according to work, after all, most dragons are busy sleeping all day long.

They don't spend much time awake throughout the year, consume negligible resources, and are mostly self-sufficient.

Since Tinagosa and Stellagosa decided to live with Sharlayan in the mortal world, of course they need to integrate into the daily life of mortals, and exchanging labor for money is the most basic rule.

Sharlayan did not comment on Stellagosa's decision.

Don't look at Tina's bluffing all day long, but the actual age gap between this little guy and Stellagosa is not that big.

She understands many truths, but she is a little self-willed under everyone's care, and likes to take the opportunity to act like a baby.

Putting aside domestic chores for the time being, Sharlayan teleported to Dalaran with the two dragon sisters.

"Sharlayan, long time no see."

Antonidas, chairman of the Kirin Tor, personally came to the teleportation hall to welcome the distinguished guests, and the more mature Kirin Tor councilor Ronin followed her.

This guy has a mustache growing on his chin, and he looks like a big shot at the upper class.

However, judging from the nervous look he showed when he met Sharlayan's eyes, this calmness was probably a deliberate pretense for business use.

Sharlayan responded to Antonidas' greeting with a smile, and soon turned his attention to the two people beside Antonidas.

Needless to say, Luo Ning, Sharlayan knew that this kid was gloating and waiting for a good show.

‘Unfortunately, I’m going to disappoint you. '

Turning his gaze to the blond girl who had become slim on the other side behind Antonidas, Sharlayan showed a gentler smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Jaina."
