In the state guesthouse in Eagle Nest Mountain, in front of Duque's bed, Aurelia recounted her experience in Silverymoon City in a voice that was close to tears.
"No one wanted to believe me. They blindly believed in the defense of Longsong Forest. They believed that the Beastmen would rather go to Stratholme and fight the humans to the death than believe that Orgrim would lead his army to Silverymoon City. They even thought that I had been bribed by the humans and was deliberately spreading panic in order to force Cuel Salas to join the Alliance. The Silverymoon Council forbade all evacuation operations. The only thing I could do was to have my Rangers step up their patrols at the border … "
Once upon a time, Aurelia had a unique glow around her. It was the glow of a warhorse that was eager to go on the battlefield. Now, Aurelia was like a defeated rooster. Not only had her beautiful feathers fallen, but she had also suffered a heavy blow to her heart.
The saddest thing was not to perish because of the unknown, but because she knew that a tragedy was bound to happen, but she was powerless to stop it.
Not to mention Aurelia, even Seamus and Windsor believed in Duque's calculations.
Believing was one thing, and agreeing to take action was another.
General Seamus pondered for a long time before saying, "Lady Aurelia, I suggest that you don't make things difficult for Lord Marcus."
"How can you say that?" Sylvanas almost wanted to punch Seamus in return.
Seamus raised his hands, "I have no intention of watching a tragedy happen. First, we have to be sure of one thing. If this tragedy does happen, it will not be on Lord Marcus or the Alliance. Do you understand? "
The Windrunner sisters' facial muscles twitched slightly. Their mouths moved for a long time before they finally nodded weakly.
"Secondly, as a general of the Alliance and a general of Stormwind, I object to Lord Duke Marcus leading his army into Cuel Salas before Cuel Salas asks for help from the Alliance. This is a matter of principle. Today, we can use the Orcs as an excuse to send troops into the High Elven Kingdom. Tomorrow, another country can use the excuse of clearing out bandits to enter the borders of a third country. This is a very bad precedent. "
The faces of the Windrunner sisters turned pale.
At this time, General Seamus added: "Of course, the final decision is in the hands of Sir Marcus. But before he makes his final decision, I will remind him once again that power and responsibility are equal. "
With that, Seamus saluted and left Duque's room.
Not only him, but all the men also left the room.
Only the drunk Duque, Vanessa, Illucia, and the Windrunner sisters were left.
"Alright, we have to wake Duque up first …" Sylvanas was about to say 'boy', but she swallowed the second half of her words. However, her action was still not respectful at all, because Queen Sylvanas actually picked up a bucket of ice water used to chill wine …
To her surprise, Vanessa pulled up her skirt and revealed the throwing knives. And Illucia's magic circuit quickly turned, condensing an ice cone suspended in mid-air.
"As the master's maid, although I don't like him, I can't let you do anything to the master."
"As half a disciple of Sir Marcus, I also can't allow you to disrespect the master."
If it was any other time, Queen Sylvanas might have dealt with them.
This was a sensitive time!
A group of fully-armed knights were listening outside the thin door. They would rush in at the slightest sign of trouble and chase the sisters out without hesitation.
The worst thing was the relationship between Cuel Salas and the Alliance. Because he refused to join the Alliance, the alliance between the elves and humans had already regressed to the point where it almost existed in name only. Don't look at how these arrogant and valiant soldiers treated the Windwalker sisters with respect before, if something happened to Duke, they would be the first ones to react.
Aurelia pulled her sister and bowed gracefully: "Sorry, we have no intention of hurting Duque. But the situation is urgent, I would like to ask … What do you allow us to use to wake him up? "
"You can't hurt him." Vanessa replied immediately.
"No pain." Illucia cared more about Duque from the bottom of her heart.
The Windrunner sisters were dumbfounded.
"I'll go first!" Sylvanas walked over confidently and pinched Duque's nose.
Duque stopped breathing.
One second, two seconds … five seconds …
Suddenly, Duque vomited.
A large amount of sour and rancid vomit flew out of his mouth. Queen Sylvanas was startled and jumped away.
Fortunately, there was a Wizard here.
Eluhia cast a small Ice Cone spell that lasted less than a millisecond, blowing Duke's vomit out of the bed and freezing it on the ground with Ice Elements.
Vanessa glared fiercely at Sylvanas: "You are not allowed to touch him again." After saying that, Vanessa went to clean up the frozen vomit.
Illucia gently wiped the corner of Duque's mouth with a warm towel, but her eyes were warning Aurelia.
Alleria was helpless. Why did she have to run into such a thing?
She could only walk over and sit by the bed, shaking Duque's arm: "Duque, wake up! Cuel Salas is really in danger as you predicted. I need your help, Duque … Duque … "
"Huff … huff … huff …" A dead pig was sleeping soundly.
Aurelia was going crazy. She shook Duque hard, but Duque did not wake up no matter what.
Vanessa put her hands on her hips: "According to my experience with my father's friends, Master will not wake up until tomorrow noon."
Tomorrow noon?
The main force led by Orgrim had already left for the northern part of the Hinterlands a day earlier. The Orcs were fast to begin with. Even if they immediately chased after them in the middle of the night, they might not be able to catch up. Tomorrow noon? If the human army really went to the Long Song Forest, they might only be able to collect the corpses of the Elves.
Unknowingly, Aurelia's shaking became more and more urgent, and her body moved closer to Duque.
Duque was in a deep sleep, so deep that even the system elf could not wake him up. In his sweet dreams, he unknowingly had a dream. It was a dream related to his 10TB action movie.
The girl in the dream was so hot.
Just as he was about to do something dirty, the girl took the initiative to hug him …
When Duque suddenly attacked, Aurelia had at least eighty-one ways to dodge Duque's claws. But Duque's unconscious murmur made Aurelia feel like she was struck by lightning.
"Aurelia …"
A soft call in a dream always had a special meaning at this time.
Regardless of whether it was real or not, Duke had indeed called out to her in his dreams.
Aurelia fell for it.
The next moment, in front of the other three women, Duque hugged the female elf close to him and buried himself in the encirclement of the mountain of flesh demon king.
The most dramatic thing was that because of the difficulty in breathing, Duque woke up.
When most of Duque's vision was blocked by the mountain of flesh demon king, Duque opened his dog eyes and met Aurelia's emerald eyes …
