'Lieutenant General Edras Blackmoore doesn't seem to like this private meeting with the king and prince.' Nathanos thought to himself. In fact, this man seemed eager to escape immediately without anyone noticing.

What has he experienced in these years? Not only Terenas and Arthas are curious, but Nathanos is also curious. No matter how he looks at this man, he cannot imagine that the man kneeling in the middle of the hall at this moment is the same man who was five years ago.

A handsome commander. Nathanos's father once told him that people who indulge in strong alcohol will become very haggard.

But there must be a bottom line!

Now, Blackmoore's hair has been stained with gray streaks, he has gained a lot of weight, and his eyes are bloodshot. Fortunately, he is sober now. If he is a little drunk, Terenas, who has always advocated temperance, will be very angry.

The reason why Blackmoore is here today is because he messed up things, very bad, terrible! According to his explanation, everything was an accident. The orc gladiator Thrall, the pride of Durnholde Castle, was in the fire

He ran away. What was even more disgusting was that Blackmoore did not report the matter immediately. After all, the fire could not be covered by paper, rumors spread, and Terenas finally found out about it. The smart king did not immediately alert the snake, he

Arthas' suggestion was chosen and Nathanos was sent to investigate.

"It's time to begin, Nathanos." Terenas sat on the throne, his son on the left.

Nathanos nodded after hearing the order, and then faced Blackmore, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand, filled with key questions. Blackmore knew that this was also a question he didn't want to answer.

.

"Are you...still awake now?"

The first question surprised him. He looked up at Nathanos strangely. After catching Terenas's eyes, he immediately replied: "Of course, I didn't drink."

"Sorry, I have to ask. Otherwise after this interrogation you will use the excuse that your next words are all drunken gibberish."

"Damn, why didn't I think of that?" Blackmore's eyes trembled slightly.

"During the investigation, I asked those who participated in the arena gambling in Durnholde Castle what they thought of the orc's escape. The results were very consistent!" Nathanos kept walking around him

, the sound came from all directions, causing Blackmore to feel confused. "They all said that Thrall could not lose. Everyone is betting on your precious pet, resulting in very low odds, and you put money on Thrall will be next.

When facing an opponent, he deliberately let him go in order to win money. He also created a fire to make it all look like an accident! Is it true?"

"Absurd, this is so ridiculous, how could I..."

"Lieutenant General!" Terenas interrupted, his voice full of majesty. "As for Nathanos's question, you only need to answer, yes or no!"

Blackmoore stared at the aloof king with wide eyes and said, "No!"

Terenas nodded to Nathanos again, indicating for him to continue.

"It's bad enough that you're smart enough to train an orc to be a gladiator. You also teach him military strategies, and teach him to read and write... Excuse me, Lieutenant General... In the name of the Holy Light, what do you want to do with this?"

Nathanos's voice made Blackmoore break into a cold sweat! How did he know? How could he know? This is impossible.

"NO, I have not."

Regarding his reaction, Nathanos did not refute him. He only needed to record and ask questions, and he only needed to answer them.

Seeing that Blackmoore's body seemed to have shrunk before his eyes, Arthas standing aside couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Next question! You promised His Majesty the King that all the money and supplies would be used directly to enhance security, and your orc pets were also closely guarded." Nathanos continued to count, "But now, he has escaped and

How could something like this happen if we didn't just stay in Durnholde? You can explain this question."

Blackmoore frowned and braced himself. "It's really unfortunate that Thrall escaped. I'm sure His Majesty the King understands my feelings."

This guy is talking back!

Terenas was a little dissatisfied. He still remembered the fact that Doomhammer escaped from Lordaeron under his nose. But this explanation was not wise. The old king frowned and continued: "I hope this is not a bad sign.

We are using the hard-earned money of the people. Lieutenant General, use it to protect the safety of the people. Do you want me to send a representative to ensure that the funds are properly distributed?"

"No, no, no, that's not necessary. I will report the use of every penny."

"Yes," Terenas said gently, "you will!"

After Blackmoore nodded and bowed all the way away, when he turned his back, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Terenas looked at Arthas at this moment.

"What do you think? You've met Sal."

Arthas nodded. He once thought Thrall was an exciting arena fighter.

"He is completely different from the orcs I remember. I mean... he is very special and very brave. But it is obvious that he is also very smart and well-trained."

Terenas stroked his beard and thought: "There are many rebellious orcs out there, and they may not be as tired as the orcs we imprisoned. If Thrall finds them and teaches them everything he knows, then we will

There's trouble." The king's eyes turned to Nathanos who was waiting.

"I want to hear your opinion too, Nathanos!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." He opened the file again, this time it was all real investigation reports. "There are many points worthy of attention here, such as: Is it wise to train and educate an orc? This question involves a lot of things. From the investigation

Judging from the situation, Blackmoore obtained Thrall long before Stormwind City was breached. At that time, the orc was still a baby."

"What!" Terenas and Arthas jumped up from their thrones at the same time.

"This is true, Your Majesty. There is a witness named Taressa Foxton. She was once a servant of Blackmore. She said that the master of Durnholde Castle began secret training a long time ago.

Sal."

"Unbelievable!" Alsace shook his head.

Terenas' face became even more ugly, "What on earth does he want to do?"

"There are still some bad things..."

What else? The old king looked at Nathanos uneasily.

"Blackmoore told you that he did give the orc writing and language, as well as military strategies."

"Is this what the girl named Taresa said?"

"Not bad." Nathanos nodded.

Arthas cursed angrily: "Damn guy, what else is there?"

"Also, he can't tell much about the damage caused by this fire from the scene. Blackmore sent people to clean up the traces. However, I investigated the population account of Dunhall Castle and found that Lieutenant Drake of the prisoner of war camp

The whereabouts of Captain Scarlock are unknown, and they may have died in the fire."

When he finished speaking, Terenas sat back on the throne, looking much older.

"The report Blackmore gave me said there were no casualties..." The king smiled bitterly.

"Actually, there is one more thing...but..." Nathanos paused, and what he was about to say might really make Terenas furious.

"explain!"

"That Captain Scarlock seems to have some... special origins!"

Special? Terenas squinted his eyes, wondering what was so special about it?

"Skarlock is Blackmoore's die-hard loyalist, and in fact, he has another identity - a friend of Auriden Perino. They once rose in rank in Durnholde's army, but later

Auriden left Durnholde Castle and went to..."

"Went to Alterac!" Terenas's voice was loud, completely inappropriate for his age. Every word he said echoed in the hall. Nathanos knew that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

Perenolde! This surname is now taboo in the human kingdom, and no one has forgotten the fact that this family once betrayed the alliance. Terenas especially did not expect that someone would want him to come into contact with members of this family under his nose, and let him

He held a military position. What made him most angry was that Auriden began to engage in terrorist organizations after returning to Alterac. Recently, a killer organization called the Syndicate became active in that white mountainous area.

Alsace sat up straight and asked his father, "Do we need to investigate this matter immediately?"

"No!" Terenas calmed down, although his breath was still very unstable. "The first priority is to catch that orc, or other orcs, and catch them before Thrall finds them. Of course, for Blackmoore,

We must investigate secretly. I will take charge of this matter." The king suddenly looked at Alsace with hope, and the other party immediately reacted.

"I'm going to catch those orcs, Father."

Terenas nodded, "Uther told me about your efforts, and he was impressed by your progress." He made a decision: "That's good. Go tell Uther to start preparing, it's time for you

A taste of what real fighting is."

Arthas finally held back his excitement and shouted. He restrained himself. Even in his ecstasy, he noticed the pain and worry on his father's face. Maybe, just maybe, kill those green monsters.

"Thank you, Dad. I'll make you proud."
