Chapter 28 - Tell the Truth

…………

When Lothama saw Sylvanas again, he thought it was Aurelia standing in front of him. The three words "Regent" were almost shouted out by him.

Sylvanas has changed into Aurelia's outfit. If her hair is darker, she will look the same as her sister.

Looking at Rothema's shocked look, Sylvanas smiled. Judging from the current situation, the effect of this outfit is very good.

"How do I look?" she asked casually, trying to seem less concerned. In fact, she cared very much, because she would stay in Pandaria as Aurelia for at least a month. If anyone recognizes this period, neither the alliance agent nor the tribe spy will have any good results for her or Aurelia.

It took Rothema a long time to put away his expression and said in amazement: "You are still so glamorous, Your Highness, Regent."

When Sylvanas heard this title, she felt very strange. However, she was also satisfied with Rothelma's cooperation, so she also issued an order to the Ranger Lord in Aurelia's tone: "Listen, Rothelma. Send the ship out to block the surrounding waters. Also remind our Ranger that there is Cardore in the forest, be careful when standing guard."

"Before you come, I have sent Ranger Captain Elsia to supervise the defense work personally, Your Highness. Everything is normal."

Sylvanas nodded, then walked towards the one-eyed Ranger and whispered: "Don't let the tribe's scouts wait for a long time."

She saw the Ranger Lord showing a sly smile.

...

At dawn, Sylvanas woke up and the first thing she reminded herself was that she was now Aurelia. With her memories of her sister, she left the resting tent and went to inspect the camp.

The two sisters looked exactly the same, but to minimize the risk, she deliberately put on a thick cloak and a hood to cover up the hair that might have exposed.

She thought this was not enough, and her every move must be in line with the true regent of Quel'thalas.

Now it seems that no one noticed her abnormality on the first night. Today's incident was not so serious. She could vaguely hear the movements at the other end of the camp. Only the voice of Rothema scolding his subordinates came from afar.

"Another spy got in and ran away?" The Ranger Lord probably said that.

Sylvanas was a little envious of Aurelia. As the Regent, there were many capable people around her. Lothema was one of them.

The letters received only two things were written: one was that she needed to play the role of Aurelia; the other was that she learned that Aurelia was planning to resist Hellscream.

The female elf didn't know why she agreed. Nathanos hadn't woken up when she left. She promised that he wouldn't let him face danger alone again. All of this was just because of the last passage in Aurelia's letter: There is not only one Wind Walker in this world who cares about him... (There's another sentence later.)

When she arrived at the shore, the moon was almost gone.

It was a busy day. Soldiers were trained and the mage set up defense nodules. It was important that everything in the camp was done for the alliance and the tribe, especially the latter.

Hellscream must be convinced that Aurelia has really come to Pandaria. Only when the Regent is in charge can Garrosh not make things difficult for the blood elves without blatantly making things difficult for the blood elves.

Of course, the chief would not sit idly by and watch Pandaria have an additional tribal leader. Lothema reminded Sylvanas that Garrosh would not trust any other tribe members. He would definitely send spies to stare at her.

Then let him watch out. Sylvanas smiled disdainfully. Let him see how self-righteous he is.

The guards of the new squad have just changed their guards. "A lot of traces have been found again." A scout with a tortuous scar on his hands reported.

"Spy?" The mage, who was originally graceful, spat on the ground, "I'm happy to kill one with my own hands."

All of this conversation is so real, and it is not known whether it was arranged on purpose, but everyone in the camp knew that the Regent was on the front line.

Sylvanas left the coast? Patrol the northern post, where everything seemed to be normal.

She had long noticed a dark shadow lurking behind the camp tent and followed her all the way.

"I saw you." She said this silently. In broad daylight, the alliance spies could lurk in? Sylvanas did not disturb the guy. The other party was just wasting time. Everyone thought that Aurelia's status was of great importance and had to be monitored throughout the process, which was not surprising.

"His Highness Regent." Elsia ran over? It was obvious that she was a little nervous. Sylvanas didn't turn around to face her? She could feel this.

"What's the matter?" She tried to make her voice gentler, like her sister.

"The chief sent someone to convey the news to you, saying that you hope you will meet him at the harbor of the harbor." Elsia said.

The time for meeting the chief was over. Sylvanas tried hard to keep his expression tight? He did not smile.

"Tell him the people he sent? Now there are alliance eyeliners everywhere, and my every move is seen by the other party. Sindore has not yet established a foothold in Pandalia. To be conservative, I will go to see the chief again in a few days."

"Yes." Elsia bowed and paid tribute? Ready to step down.

"Wait a minute." Sylvanas called her. "You go and tell Rothema? I need to talk to him."

...

Lothama walked into the conference tent. Sylvanas was waiting for him alone. The scene seemed normal. "Are we the only two, the Regent?" he asked.

"Erthia has cleared the people around her." She replied? Then she gave Lothama a look. The Ranger Lord understood. She was talking slander? There must be spies everywhere around. "...Make sure the Alliance cannot eavesdrop on our conversation today."

Rothma nodded slightly and signaled that he knew what to do. He approached her and stopped by the large table in the middle of the room, which was laid on it with a detailed map of the entire Kassanglang jungle.

There are other more important marks on the map, such as the location where the Alliance Fleet appears and the location of the Lion Harbor.

From these marks, Lothema cannot infer what "Aleria" will say next.

"I have a question, Lord Rangers," Sylvanas said, "If I order the troops to prepare to evacuate Pandalia, would you agree?"

Lothama was silent for a moment. He took a breath, wondering if she was joking—or joking about her current situation. But the joke was a bit too big. Garrosh's ears were listening.

The blood elves participated in the war as the chief's order. Now that the war has not started, the leader has begun to give in. What would he do if Hellscream knew?

"I don't understand what you're talking about," he said. A pun intended to suggest Sylvanas.

The female elf's eyes flashed immediately. Her fingers hit the map, as if she could use her index finger to clear all obstacles in the Kasanglang jungle. She looked serious and stared at Lothama, and her tone became less polite. "This is a simple question. You just need to express your opinion."

His answer was also obvious. "I object to you." Lothama thought for a while and began to convince Sylvanas with multiple reasons. "We are not here to travel, the Regent. We spent a lot of material to arrive in Pandaria and were leaving before we even participated in a battle? The Alliance would laugh at us as cowards, and the tribe's allies would accuse us of being cowards."

Lothama thought Sylvanas would agree with him, and that everything that happened just happened was just her momentary impulse, but the female elf's next words surprised him.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of the war as soon as it started? How many people will die? Even if they win, what can Sindore get?" Sylvanas said, and Rothema was about to refute, but was interrupted by her gesture. "I regret it after your vanguard army set out. I should not agree to Garrosh's request to send troops to Pandalia."

The sun well was on it, and the woman blocked the tribal spy's face and called the name of Hellscream. Rothema looked very worried. Sylvanas was still talking nonstop.

"We cannot destroy the Lion Port through frontal attacks, at least it won't work on land. We don't have enough ships, and even if there is, there is no chance of winning against the Alliance's Seventh Fleet." Sylvanas pointed the waters on the coast of the Lion Port. "I regret it now. I should reject the chief's order and persuade him that he only needs Sindore to provide the war supplies needed by the tribe."

The Ranger Lord's eyes lit up. The last sentence really made him think that Aurelia was standing in front of him.

The most contribution the blood elves ever made after joining the tribe was to donate a large amount of iron ore, money and transport ships. Although few Sindore soldiers appeared on the tribe's battlefield, no one would deny their value. It was precisely because of Quelthalas that the tribe's logistics supply would not be short of.

This is the policy that Aurelia has pursued for many years.

A chill surged up to the lord's spine. He almost ruined Sylvanas's plan. The female elf was misleading Garrosh's spy in Aurelia's way of doing things.

Counter-espionage work is not Rothema's specialty, but he now understands it. If you want the enemy to believe it completely, you should not be too artificial. Aurelia has always been the kind of war-loving leader, and it is doubtful to suddenly come to the front line. If you still have to promote defeating the alliance, even a fool can see the problem.

Now we need to stand in the perspective of Hellscream to decide what they should do next.

How to satisfy that chief?

It's very simple, just act in Aurelia's way - let Sindore withdraw from the battlefield.

This idea sounds a bit rude, but it's just a verbal statement. Hellscream will think that even if you have such an idea, will you dare to put it into practice? The chief is right beside you, on the battlefield, under his gaze, no tribal warrior dares to take a step back.

Lothama guessed that if the scout passed on Sylvanas's words back, Garrosh probably had already started laughing. He would laugh and mock Aurelia, and most importantly, he would really think that Aurelia had come to Pandaria.

And this is the original purpose of the Regent.

Rothemma restrained his tone and did not make it sound... full of apology, but retained the meaning of objection. "Are you going to go back on your word, Regent? I hope you can think carefully, Chief Hellscream would not agree."

"This is also something I'm worried about." Sylvanas breathed a sigh of relief.

Rothema was not stupid, she thought to herself.

"But once the fight begins, it will inevitably be a disaster. We are blocking the sea route of the alliance's attack on the harbor. We must face the Seventh Fleet. I just checked the coastline. There are no reefs or countercurrents in this area that can serve as natural defense. Please tell me, Ranger Lord, if Varian's troops come over, how should we defend."

"We can ask for the support of the Grand Chief."

"No." Sylvanas looked at him with gray-green eyes. The scene became more and more realistic. "When I came, I learned that when the Chief's fleet arrived in the Kasanglang jungle, he brought a large number of catapults and thousands of wind-harders, and even his combat troops were Kukaron's wolf cavalry. This means that he planned to defeat the alliance from land. As for his ships, I don't think he would be willing to give it to us."

Let Hellscream know that with his help, Sindore would have no reason to evacuate Pandalia.

Lothama smiled and understood what Sylvanas wanted him to say next. "Your concerns are not unreasonable, Regent. Please rest assured that the tribe's admiral Naz Green is also in powering the port. I have met him several times. He is very loyal to the tribe. As long as he tells him about our predicament, he will definitely advise the chief for his interests. Let an orc convince the chief has a better chance of winning than an elf messenger."

Sylvanas pretended to sigh. "I hope you are right. Just do that."

Lothama bowed. This time he no longer just cooperated with the acting, but admired him from the bottom of his heart. Sylvanas's vision even surpassed Aurelia.

Next, Garrosh will definitely send his fleet to assist Sindore in defense, resisting the alliance's maritime power, while also being responsible for monitoring the woman's every move in front of him. This is exactly what Aurelia wants. When the orc's attention is attracted by a fake body, the real Regent can start acting without any worries.

But Lothama was very curious. What conditions did Aurelia offer to make Sylvanas take the risk? He began to regret not peeking at the letter Aurelia wrote to Sylvanas.
