Andoine would never forget how his treasured sword, Quel 'Zaram, was broken.
That's right, his sword could not harm a person of noble character. If he was not a hundred percent sure before, then everything that happened after he brought the shard back to the Archbishop of Holy Light, Alonsus Faol, and placed it in the Holy Pool in Stratholme confirmed his suspicions.
This was because the shattered Divine Sword was actually being reforged by itself!
Although it was slow, it was indeed being reforged.
In other words, if this deduction was correct, then Orgrim, as a person of noble character, would definitely tell the truth, even if it was related to a duke of the opposing faction who was not important to him.
Andoine's eyes lit up. "I agree with Lord Marcus. We need the testimony of the Horde's chief, Orgrim, as an important witness. "
King Leon shuddered at this moment, and he immediately understood why this was happening. After all, Laing's once invincible sword was broken at a crucial moment on the battlefield, and he almost lost his best friend. This made Laing feel conflicted for a long time.
"I agree as well," Laing chimed in.
Duke Barov raised his head. He was stunned, but there was also a hint of hope. Because Duque … Duque did not abandon him when he was at his most desperate. He did not know what the point of interrogating Orgrim was, but at least it was a hope.
At this time, Terenas spoke. "Summon the chief, Orgrim, if he is still sane …"
A servant left after receiving the order.
At this moment, Duke Barov, Laing, and Andoine all felt their hearts skip a beat.
After a moment, as expected …
"Your Majesties, the Horde's Great Chief Orgrim has suffered a severe mental shock due to today's captive offering ceremony. He... he seems to be going crazy and is struggling non-stop. We have no choice but to add two sets of the largest shackles on him, each weighing 100 pounds."
That's right, Terenas' words were a hint. After realizing that Orgrim, whom they had been neglecting, could be a flaw and a variable, they made up for it. Perhaps they used some kind of drug to temporarily make Orgrim lose his sanity.
All of a sudden, all chances of turning the tables were gone.
Duke Barov's face was ashen.
Andoine was a little puzzled. With Duque's intelligence, he shouldn't have given his opponent a chance to make up for his flaws. What was Duque trying to do?
Terenas spoke, "Then … there seems to be no other way. We can only follow Orgrim's confession. Do you have any other requests or new evidence? If not, then we will hold a Throne Vote to decide whether or not to label the Alex Barov Family as traitors of the Alliance. "
The air was filled with silence.
Terenas ignored the doubtful and disapproving looks, as well as the sobbing of Ilusia. "Then let's begin the voting."
The Throne voting was the highest form of voting in the Alliance. At first, in order to prevent the commanders from coming from the same country, the commanders themselves did not have the right to vote. Each country would have one vote, and the leader of the Rotterdam Kingdom would have two votes. The countries involved had no right to vote.
They could vote for, against, or abstain from voting. The motion would be decided by the result with the most votes. If the number of votes for and against is the same, the alliance country will be the final decision.
"Kings who think that the Barov Family is a traitor, please raise your hand."
Jean was the first to raise his hand, followed by Solas and Antonidas, and finally Terenas.
Now, according to the Alliance Leader's double vote, there were five votes.
But that was it.
Terenas suddenly felt a little uneasy. He pretended to be calm and said, "Alright, those who object, please raise your hand. Those who abstain from voting, you can remain silent."
Laing was the first to speak. "This time, the voting rights of Stormwind will be given to Duke Duke Marcus."
Almost as soon as Laing finished speaking, Duque spoke. His voice was loud and full of authority. "Stormwind objects!"
King Daelin frowned. As one of the staunchest allies of Stormwind, he immediately followed. "Kur-tiras objects!"
A situation that Terenas had never expected had happened. He had thought that the dwarves would take an indifferent attitude. He even knew that Laing did not communicate with the dwarves about this.
Unexpectedly, when Magni saw that it was Duque who objected, he slammed the armrest of the throne. "Khaz Modan objects!"
Along with Magni's loud voice, Kudran Wildhammer said, "Eagle's Nest Mountain objects!"
Who was Magni Bronzebeard? He was the leader of the dwarves, the Ironforge Bronzebeard Dwarf. He was on the same side as the Gnomes. Magni objected, and Master Craftsman Gerbin immediately followed. "Gnomeregan objects!"
At this moment, Terenas's face turned green. He finally saw it. These bastards did not look at the "evidence" or "reason". They simply objected because Duque objected. Rather than believing in objective things, they believed in Duke's judgment, who had truly helped them. In this suspicious matter, they clearly stood on Duque's side.
Alright, now it was five against five.
In theory, if this was the final result, Terenas could still use his power as the leader of the alliance to pass this motion. The problem was, there was still one country that had the right to vote!
Suddenly, all eyes fell on the face of Prince Kael 'thas of Cuel Salas, who represented the Sun King in the victory ceremony.
The handsome Kaizi's face was burning hot.
He never thought that he would be involved in the battle between the leader of the alliance, Terenas and Duque. Before this, there was no news of this at all. No country's representative came to him.
This was definitely a political disgrace for Cuel Salas, because it meant that the High Elves were being marginalized in the political arena. Of course, in a sense, this was also the result of the High Elves' long-term self-isolation.
Personally, he should definitely help Duque.
Unfortunately, he knew the mood of the kingdom very well. Even though Duque led the army to save Cuel Salas, Cuel Salas still sent a lot of reinforcements to the Alliance's army in the later stages of the war. In fact, the entire upper echelons of Cuel Salas hated Duque.
Simple, jealousy!
What they could not do, Duque did. They could not protect their own kingdom, and they still needed Duque's help.
The arrogant elves' faces were dark.
Moreover, the councilor Marian they sent … was said to be a servant of the Wings of Death and was captured by the Red Dragon Queen. Many councilors could not take it emotionally and could only secretly vent their anger on Duque.
Therefore, in public, Kael 'thas could not help Duque.
After a long while, Kael 'thas finally said, "Cuel Salas abstains."
