Chapter Thirteen - Internal Hidden Problems
…………
As the evening approached, the air conditioning had soaked the scouts's boots on Elsia. With each step, she could feel the chill spread from her heels to her toes, like a skinning knife scraping over the soles of her feet.
The other soldiers were not easy to have sex, and they rushed forward in the evening. But the Blood Knights Legion, which opened the way in the front, seemed to be nothing. They have been in a sturdy gait since the beginning of the journey.
And they didn't ride horses, Elsia thought. The Blood Knights Legion is indeed powerful. Even if the Regent ordered everyone to walk in order to hide their traces, their speed was still very fast.
Elsia noticed two people behind the Blood Knights Corps, the Regent Aurelia, among which the other figure belonged to the Orc.
“Haduron?”
Captain Ranger heard the voice of the female elf and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Who is the person next to the Regent?"
Hadurun seemed reluctant to speak, let alone Alshia's question was the one he wanted to answer the least. Captain Ranger sighed and whispered: "The tribe chief sent to 'protect' the escort of the Regent, the high-ranking governor Krumsh."
Protection? Governor? Elsia blinked and instantly understood what Hadurun wanted to express. These two words only reveal one meaning, that is, surveillance. A pair of surveillance eyes are used to ensure that the actions of the Regent Aurelia will not drag on the slumber.
"Hellscream doesn't trust us at all."
"Shut up." Hadurun warned. "Beware of what you say, ma'am. Hellscreaming eyes and ears are everywhere."
"I'm telling the truth."
"The truth that everyone knows is nonsense." Captain Ranger stared at Krumsh's back. "The Regent will handle everything."
...
"Our troops will soon cross the Sodoril River and enter the Western Plagueland, and will camp at the Gayron Farm, and then capture the Howling Haunted House as a frontier. The undead of the Blood Crusaders and the Spiritual Academy have begun war. Now is the best time to gain a foothold. What do you think, Governor?" Aurelia glanced at the tall orcs beside her. Recently, there are more and more Marghan orcs promoted to senior positions in the tribe, and Krumsh is one of them. Before that, Aurelia had never mentioned this orc, let alone whether he had made any achievements to the tribe.
Krumsh looked straight ahead and responded expressionlessly: "The chief has given me the task of ensuring your safety, Regent. You don't have to tell me your plan."
"Oh? Is it? I thought the Chief would always want to know what's going on here, so I can hide anything from you."
"I'm not blind," said Kromshe, "I can see everything here."
Aurelia's expression tightened, and the words of the high-level governor reminded her of Hellscream's warnings that Hellscream's eyes were always on her lips: Hellscream's eyes were staring at you.
Indeed, everyone could feel that the chief's eyes and ears were everywhere. Some superficially, such as Krumsh, were easy to deal with when they knew they were the Eye of Garrosh, but what about those hidden behind their backs?
"The Chief is very confident in you, Regent. He said you have experience in dealing with the Blood Crusader."
At first, Aurelia did not understand Krumsh's words, but after taking a few steps, a strong uneasiness almost made her exclaim. As the Regent of Quelthalas, she had almost never been an enemy of humanity, nor had she taken the initiative to attack the crusaders' territory. Only once she remembered clearly that when she had just become Regent, she led a team of elite rangers to the Eastern Plagueland for a secret mission - hunting her husband who had become undead. Before the decisive battle on Marys Farm, the blood elves inevitably clashed with the Blood Crusaders entrenched here. Her men wiped out several patrol crusaders.
What was originally a slight episode, why was Garrosh known about it?
This is not the biggest hidden danger.
She was not the only one on Maris Farm at that time, but also Mardias Shore, the leader of the Stormwind City MI7. That was the last time the Blood Elves and Stormwind City cooperated. If Hellscream had learned about the past, does it mean that he also knew that there was a cooperation between Aurelia and Stormwind City? What would he do?
In an instant, the Regent felt like he was on his back. Although she knew that Quelthalas had not joined the tribe at that time, such behavior was not considered betrayal, Hellscream would definitely have preconceived ideas. He would no longer trust the blood elves, regardless of whether Sindore's actions in the Eastern Kingdom would be successful.
"Then, I will not let down the trust of the chief." Aurelia replied calmly. Who is it? This question stirred the memories in her mind into a mess. That action should be top secret. The people involved in the action were led by her, and they were all rangers from the Wind Walker family.
Could it be the conspiracy of the alliance? Aurelia thinks this is impossible. If Shore is making trouble, he can make the truth about that year public. Why should he spread such indirect rumors?
"Yes, he also said you won't." said the senior governor.
"What else did the chief say?" the regent asked.
Krumsh turned his gaze to the hillside not far northwest. The moonlight shone on some crystal object. The high-level governor did not answer Aurelia immediately, but the female elf's heart was already extremely nervous. The orc was looking at the direction of Maris Farm.
"He said you're more familiar with this place than anyone else."
Aurelia nodded as if nothing had happened, "I have been here many times during the Second War."
"And after the Scourge invaded Quelthalas," Kroms reminded. He did not notice a flash of fleeing anger in Aurelia's eyes. "Did you forget, Regent?"
"I can't remember everything, Governor."
The orc let out a low laugh and said with a little meaning: "Is that right? The chief once praised that the elves' memory is the best among the tribe members, much better than the orcs."
At this point, the two of them no longer made any sounds. Krumsh's words were inseparable from Hellscream, which made Aurelia feel that Garrosh seemed to be here. That suffocating and oppressive feeling... The Regent is not afraid of the orc, but his methods and aggressive aura always reveal an inexplicable danger. He will do things that hurt Sindore, which is what Aurelia is most worried about.
