Raising his hand, the prince bowed apologetically. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just happened to hear it when I came over."
Aurelia shrugged, indicating that she had already sensed it.
"It's okay. I don't mind."
The prince immediately asked anxiously, "Is this the 'hunt' you were talking about?"
"Yes! If I'm not wrong, my appearance was enough to make the chief of the tribe, Orgrim, give up on attacking Silvermoon City and ask the trolls to leave with the tribe. But Orgrim obviously underestimated the trolls' hatred, madness, and stubbornness towards the elves … So the division of the tribe is almost inevitable. At the earliest, the main force of the tribe will leave tonight, leaving only the trolls to continue attacking Silvermoon City. "
Duque's words made the eyes of the prince, Aurelia, and the three Windrunners in charge of eavesdropping immediately brighten.
"Really?!" One man and four women, five voices almost at the same time.
F * ck, Alleria was his rumored girlfriend. Forget about his rumored future sisters-in-law eavesdropping, they even gave themselves away together. What the hell was this?
Duque … was very embarrassed!
Duque could only pretend that he was not talking about love and communicating with Aurelia. With a business-like expression, he raised the wine glass that he had placed on the balcony railing. "Yes! A hunt. Consider it a small gift from me and Kael 'thas as a witness of friendship. "
Awesome!
Too awesome!
Kael 'thas' eyebrows almost stretched to the side of the door frame in joy.
Of course, this was an exaggerated figure of speech. Don't believe it.
But the prince's joy was not simple.
Kael 'thas had lived for more than a thousand years, and he had also been an idiot for more than a thousand years. He had always been a perfectionist, and he had always lived in the gap between responsibility and glory.
He was afraid that if he did not do well, he would not be able to be a role model for the elves.
So Kael 'thas had always been more demanding of himself than a Virgo's perfectionist creed.
Ever since his army was defeated, he had been under too much pressure. Even if he did not want to listen or ask. He could still hear the criticism of his subjects from time to time, and feel the resentful gazes of the families of the fallen.
Those were the lives of 20,000 High Elves!
Just like that, the hopes of the clansmen were destroyed by him.
Perhaps he could use various objective circumstances to explain this defeat.
But to him, Kael 'thas, this was the worst first battle he had ever had.
A defeat was a defeat!
No matter what explanation he used, this was a stain that he, Kael 'thas, could not erase. A stain that would accompany him for life.
For the past few days, he had been trying his best to cheer himself up, comforting and encouraging himself. However, his mental exhaustion was getting worse. He really didn't know when the mountain-like mental pressure would crush him.
Just when he felt that he couldn't take it anymore and was about to collapse, Duque actually said that he would give him a great credit?
Even if he knew that Duque would get the most credit. But his heart couldn't help but jump for joy.
That's right!
Even if it was a victory without doing anything! It was ten thousand times better than not winning!
On the other side, Aurelia also tactfully resolved the prince's embarrassment. "His Highness Kael 'thas is an excellent prince. Unfortunately, the situation forced him to put an excessive burden on his shoulders too early. If it was done step by step, His Highness would definitely do better. "
"Yes! That previous battle was a pity. To let a dumb guy with no military experience … "
"Dumb guy?" Kael 'thas was puzzled by this title.
Duque … Duque, this bastard, was seriously making up a "big truth" that even he didn't believe.
"Uh, in my hometown, it's customary to add the word 'Zi' to the first word of a man's name to form a nickname for him. That's why I'm used to calling Kael 'thas' Dumb guy '. Sorry, if you don't like it, I can … "
"No, no, no. I like the title 'Dumb guy' very much." Kael 'thas voluntarily entered the dumb guy mode. "Please go back to the previous topic."
Well, even the gods couldn't save him.
"Uh, why do humans have knight candidates and reserve soldiers? It's the same logic. To suddenly let a dumb guy who has never commanded an army command 20,000 people, to be honest, it's not your fault. It's the council that forced you to take the position of commander. "
Kael 'thas frowned slightly. "But Duque, you don't seem to have any battlefield experience before?"
"No, no, no! I do. When I first became an earth mage, I commanded a dozen mercenaries to deal with the gnolls. Then it was the fishmen and the nagas. Then I led the most experienced Sir Lothar and more than 200 elites to raid Karazhan. Then I organized the defense of a district in Stormwind City. "Duque continued to speak the big truth with a serious face.
Duque had indeed climbed up step by step, but his miraculous performance in suppressing the tribes was all because he was familiar with "history" as a transmigrator!
Anyway, it was enough to fool the inexperienced Kael 'thas. Aurelia didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"So, dumb guy, what you need the most now is a mentor who can give you actual combat experience and guide you to deal with the tense situation in front of you and achieve victory. That's right! That person is your brother, me, Duque! "
It sounded very mysterious and full of a sense of deception. Unfortunately, Duque's battle record was too frightening, and the momentum of repelling an army with one flag was too awesome.
Kael 'thas had to believe it. If there was anything that overwhelmed his last bit of hesitation, it was undoubtedly the good news from the messenger.
"Your Highness! Good news! There was an internal strife in the tribe just now! The main force of the tribe, mainly Orcs, is withdrawing from the camp. Only the trolls are left! "
Kael 'thas and the others were all shocked. Kael' thas looked at Duque again, his eyes filled with almost fanatical worship!
Duque revealed a mysterious smile. "What did I just say?"
Kael 'thas completely ignored it. He directly bowed his head and said in the most humble tone, "Duque! No! Mentor Marcus! Please teach me how to win a battle! "
Duque hurriedly helped Kael 'thas up. "There's no need for honorifics. I'm your friend, so it's not a problem for me to give you some pointers. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you'll get rid of your decadence. "
"Really?"
"Yes! The first thing you have to do is wait for the main force of the tribe to leave. Then, before my reinforcements arrive, just rely on the elven troops to deal a heavy blow to the troll main force! "
"What?" Kael 'thas immediately lost his voice.
"Please, have some confidence in yourself, okay? You're now facing a troll army that, except for a few leaders, doesn't know magic at all and can't fight against magic. Didn't you high elves use magic to oppress the trolls for thousands of years? What you did in the past, just do it now. I'll teach you how to deal with the powerhouses on the other side … "Duque patiently guided. Oh, no, patiently instructed the dumb guy.
