Capítulo 351: Chapter 351: An Awkward Eye Contact
In the state guesthouse of Eagle's Nest Mountain, right by Duke's bedside, Alleria, with a voice close to tears, recounted her experience in Silvermoon City.
"No one wanted to believe me. They blindly trust in the defenses of Eversong Woods, convinced that the orcs would rather attack Stratholme and clash with the humans than believe that Orgrim would lead his army directly to Silvermoon City. They even thought I was bought by the humans, spreading panic intentionally to force Quel'Thalas to join the Alliance. The Silvermoon Council banned all evacuation actions. The only thing I could do was to have my ranger team intensify patrols in the border areas..."
Once upon a time, Alleria was surrounded by a unique radiance, like a warhorse eager to enter the battlefield. Now, Alleria was like a defeated rooster, not only losing her beautiful feathers but also suffering a heavy blow to her spirit.
Indeed, the most tragic thing is not to perish due to the unknown, but to know that a tragedy is bound to happen and yet be powerless to prevent it.
As for Duke's calculations, not to mention Alleria, even Bolvar and Windsor were convinced.
Believing is one thing, agreeing to take action is another.
Marshal Bolvar pondered for a long time before speaking: "Lady Alleria, I suggest you not to put Lord Marcus in a difficult position."
"How can you say that?" Sylvanas almost wanted to punch Bolvar in anger.
Bolvar raised his hands: "I have no intention of sitting by and watching a tragedy unfold. First, we need to ascertain one thing, if this tragedy is to happen, all the responsibility does not lie with Lord Marcus or the Alliance. Do you understand?"
The Windrunner sisters' facial muscles twitched slightly, their mouths moved for a long time, and in the end, the two sisters nodded weakly.
"Secondly, as a Marshal of the Alliance, as a Marshal of the Kingdom of Stormwind, I oppose Duke Marcus entering Quel'Thalas in any form before Quel'Thalas asks the Alliance for help. This is a matter of principle. Today we can use the orcs as an excuse to directly send troops into the kingdom of the high elves, tomorrow another country could use the name of clearing bandits to enter the territory of a third country. This is a very bad precedent."
The faces of the Windrunner sisters turned pale in an instant.
At this time, Marshal Bolvar added: "Of course, the final decision lies in the hands of Lord Marcus. But before he makes the final decision, I will remind him again that power and responsibility are equivalent."
Having said that, Bolvar saluted and exited Duke's room.
Not just him, all the men left.
The scene was left with the drunken Duke, Vanessa, Jandice, and the Windrunner sisters.
"Alright, now we must first wake Duke up..." Sylvanas, who originally wanted to say 'kid', swallowed the latter half of her sentence. However, her action was still disrespectful, as Queen Sylvanas actually picked up a bucket of ice water used for chilling wine...
What she didn't expect was that Vanessa lifted her skirt, revealing a flying knife. And Jandice's magic circuit turned quickly, condensing an ice cone floating in mid-air.
"As a maid of the host, although I'm also annoyed with him, I can't let you mess with him."
"As half a disciple of Lord Marcus, I also can't allow you to disrespect him."
If it were usual times, Queen Sylvanas might have dealt with them.
But now is a sensitive period!
A group of fully armed knights were standing outside the thin door, listening intently, ready to burst in at any sign of trouble, and without a second thought, they would throw the sisters out.
The worst part was the relationship between Quel'Thalas and the Alliance. Because of their refusal to join the Alliance, the alliance between the elves and humans had already regressed to the point of being virtually non-existent. Despite the respect these proud soldiers had shown to the Windrunner sisters before, if anything happened to Duke, the first ones to object would be this group of people.
Alleria held back her sister. She bowed gracefully, "I apologize, we didn't mean to harm Duke. It's just that the situation is urgent, I want to ask... what means do you allow us to use to wake him up?"
"He cannot be harmed." Vanessa immediately responded.
"No pain can be inflicted." Jandice cared for Duke from the bottom of her heart.
The Windrunner sisters were dumbfounded.
"I'll go first!" Sylvanas confidently walked over, pinching Duke's nose.
Duke stopped breathing.
One second, two seconds... five seconds...
Suddenly, with a retch, Duke vomited.
A large amount of sour and rotten vomit flew out of his mouth. Queen Sylvanas was startled and jumped away.
Fortunately, there was a mage here.
Jandice cast a small, precise ice cone spell, blowing Duke's vomit out of the bed and freezing it on the ground with frost elemental particles.
Vanessa glared at Sylvanas: "You're not allowed to touch him anymore." After saying that, Vanessa went to clean up the vomit that had frozen into ice cubes.
Jandice gently wiped the corner of Duke's mouth with a warm towel, but her eyes warned Alleria.
Alleria was very helpless, why did she encounter such a thing?
She could only walk over, sit by the bed, and shake Duke's arm, "Duke, wake up! Quel'Thalas is really in danger as you calculated, I need your support, Duke... Duke..."
"Huh huh huh..." A certain dead pig was sound asleep.
Alleria was almost driven mad, she shook Duke vigorously, but Duke just wouldn't wake up.
Vanessa crossed her arms: "Based on my experience with my father's friends, the master won't sober up until at least noon tomorrow."
Not until noon tomorrow?
Orgrim's main force had already set off for the northern part of Hinterlands a day earlier. The orcs were fast on their feet. Even if they marched right now in the middle of the night, they might not be able to catch up. Wait until noon tomorrow? By the time the human army arrives at Eversong Woods, they might only be able to collect the bodies of the elves.
Unconsciously, Alleria's shaking became more urgent, and her body moved closer to Duke.
Duke was sleeping so deeply that even the system sprite couldn't wake him. In his sweet dream, he unconsciously started dreaming, a dream related to his 10tb action movie.
The girl in the dream was so attractive.
Just when Duke wanted to take advantage of the situation, the girl in the dream took the initiative to hug him...
When Duke suddenly made a move, Alleria had at least ninety-nine ways to dodge Duke's magic claw. But Duke's unconscious murmur struck Alleria like a thunderbolt.
"Alleria..."
A whisper in a dream, at such a time, always has a special meaning.
Whether it's true or not, Duke did call her in his dream.
Alleria was hit.
The next moment, in front of the other three women, Duke hugged the elf woman close to him, burying his head in the onslaught of the mountainous bosom.
The most melodramatic part was, due to difficulty in breathing, Duke woke up.
When Duke's field of vision was mostly blocked by the mountainous bosom, the dog eyes that Duke opened met Alleria's emerald green eyes...
