Speaking of the participants in the Karazhan raid, Garona returned to Stormwind City before Lothar.
Laing had always been puzzled about this. After Garona came back in a daze, Laing repeatedly asked about the situation, only to find that Garona's memory only lasted until she was knocked unconscious by Sargeras' [Fear].
Laing and Bolvar didn't blame Garona too much.
On the battlefield, even the bravest knight might not be able to withstand a [Fear]. If it was before the incident at the Dark Portal, Laing and Bolvar would have regarded Garona as a deserter. But now … Countless battles had proven that if one didn't have a particularly strong will or skill, there was no way one could be immune to this thing.
Moreover, when Garona returned, Laing had already received news that Lothar was injured but was fine, as well as that Duque was fine. In addition, with the news of Medivh's passing, Laing really didn't have much time to think about Garona since one of his childhood friends was dead and the other was injured.
Because of that battle, although Lothar wasn't seriously injured, he injured his leg. Not only did he sprain his ankle, but in fact, during the big explosion caused by Medivh, the protective shield used by Medivh wasn't complete, and there were still several pieces of gravel that pierced into Lothar's injured leg.
In the end, even though Lothar was burning with anxiety, no one dared to let Lothar ride the bumpy Gryphon. In addition, with Laing's strict orders, Lothar could only bitterly return in a carriage.
Coupled with the changes in the battle situation, the front line in the Elven Forest was constantly moving towards Stormwind City. Lothar and his party had to go from east to west, almost crossing the entire Twilight Forest before turning north to return to Stormwind City.
The poor vision in the Twilight Forest also greatly delayed the return of Lothar and his party.
By the time Lothar rushed back to Stormwind City without much rest, they were already a full month later than Gahrona.
Seeing Garona standing beside Laing, Lothar suddenly remembered what Duque said.
As a half-orc, Garona did not have the right to enter the core of power in Stormwind. In Lothar's previous message, Lothar vaguely reminded Laing to be wary of Gahrona. He also secretly sent a message to his men to keep an eye on Gahrona.
Garona was too harmless, but Garona's information was too important. When it came to the tribe, humans were completely clueless. Many military matters were related to her.
Laing had also tried isolating Gahrona and sending someone to ask her if anything happened.
Gahrona wasn't annoyed and answered every question.
The problem was that the military situation was urgent!
For example, the battle prowess of the various Orc clans could be said to be uneven. For example, the Blackstone and Warsong Clans were definitely ferocious. Not only were their individual soldiers strong, but they also had a large number of people. When the Beastmen invaded, they would often send out troops in units of clans.
The second-tier clans were much worse off, such as the Thunder King Clan.
The unknown third-tier clans were even worse. They were behind in all aspects, in terms of numbers, equipment, and basic battle prowess.
The difference in battle prowess might be a first-tier clan warrior fighting ten human soldiers, but when it came to the third-tier, it would be one to three.
However, not only were the Orc military flags ugly, they were all f * cking handmade. With one slip of the hand, the flag of the same clan could be turned into several totems. In addition, the art lessons of the scouts were taught by the physical education teacher. With mistakes piled on top of mistakes, it was naturally easy for things to go wrong when they arrived at the command post in the rear.
Laing and the senior generals had been screwed over more than once by such trivial matters. The most serious time was when they almost filled in an elite army that had been formed before the war.
It was different with Gahrona.
No matter what kind of scribbles it was, she could recognize which clan it was at a glance. She could tell the characteristics of the clan, the number of people, and the battle prowess in one go. In the eyes of many officers, Gahrona was simply a treasure house given by the heavens to Stormwind.
Even if they fought and retreated, and lost every battle, at least their losses were reduced.
In Duque's suggestion left behind by Makarov, there was another time when it was summer, when the weather was dry, and they sent a suicide squad on horseback to burn down the East Cove Lumberyard.
This fire was awesome!
They burned down 3000 elites of the Blackrock clan, and the price that Stormwind City paid was only five suicide soldiers.
As time passed, Gahrona had unknowingly become an important minister of the kingdom, and she would definitely participate in every military conference.
Especially when the Horde conquered Goldflash Town, the gateway to Stormwind City, and was about to reach Stormwind City, the military conferences were held more frequently.
This time, the military conference looked no different from any other military conference in the past.
The only difference was that Prince William, accompanied by the queen, listened quietly at the side.
Originally, Laing was against William's participation in the military conference. However, the queen's words made Laing change his mind.
"Laing, William is already ten years old. In my opinion, this war with the Orcs will continue for a long time. In five or ten years' time, can you guarantee that you will still be able to command the army like you do now? Can you guarantee that the next king of the people of Stormwind will be a good king who knows how to use troops? "
Laing fell silent. Mortals would eventually grow old. Faith would be passed down from generation to generation. If this was an era of peace, Laing probably wouldn't let children be exposed to such things at such an early age. However, this was an era of war, and even Laing himself didn't know when he would have to personally go to the battlefield.
Swords had no eyes, and no one could guarantee that they would come back alive every time they went to the battlefield.
Once he died, Stormwind would need a new king.
"Alright, you've convinced me."
On this day, Prince William was very excited. Even though he was well-educated and sat quietly in his seat, his eyes would sweep over Lothar from time to time.
William especially admired Lothar, not only because Lothar had taught him swordsmanship, but also because of Lothar's various legendary stories. His burning gaze made Lothar feel uncomfortable several times during the military conference.
He was also curious about Gahrona. His father and mother often came into contact with this amazing female Half-Orc, and often mentioned her good qualities. However, for safety reasons, he didn't have many opportunities to interact with Gahrona.
The military conference was a little boring to William. A group of generals were arguing over something, and everyone insisted on their own opinions. Then, Andoine and Bolvar would express their opinions, and finally, Laing would summarize everyone's opinions and make the final decision.
At this moment, Gahrona suddenly looked like she had a headache. She suddenly covered her head with one hand and pressed the other on the military sand table.
"What's wrong?" Laing asked with concern.
In the next moment, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of everyone at the military conference table.
Because of Lothar's insistence, there were always two fully armed royal guards by Laing's side at all times.
When the cold glint flashed, the guard who was sandwiched between Laing and Gahrona reacted quickly. He had been staring at Gahrona intentionally or unintentionally, so his reaction was the fastest.
