When meeting the Black Dragon Princess nine years later, Robbie thought of many possibilities, but he did not expect this result.
The Black Dragon Princess has a fierce voice and looks like an old hen protecting her chickens, fiercely guarding her territory.
"Princess Black Dragon, you are in danger, your death is coming." Robbie once again used the method of giving a warning.
Unexpectedly, it didn’t work this time. Princess Black Dragon mocked disdainfully:
"The Defias Brotherhood in the West Wilds is my ally. Night Town and Lakeside Town also have my minions. The territory of Stormwind Kingdom is densely covered with my influence. The dwarves and gnomes are very willing to make friends with me. Dark Night
The elves thank me for secretly supporting their war against the orcs. The Kingdom of Stormwind is peaceful and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Human, do you still want to scare me with the same tactics as before?"
This black dragon has grown up, its mind has become shrewd, and it is difficult to deal with. Just as Robbie was thinking about his words, Vanessa released a vague murderous intention, and the Black Dragon Princess's face immediately changed.
"Asshole, you cunning human being, you have a helper, and this helper can threaten my life." The Black Dragon Princess seemed to accept her fate, and said a little decadently: "Okay, you set a price, how many gold coins do you want, cede
The lord is absolutely not allowed."
It seems that threats are always a more reliable method than persuasion. Robbie coughed and said seriously:
"Princess Black Dragon, I am relieved that you will manage the Kingdom of Stormwind. I don't need gold coins. Do you remember what I said when we parted last time? I will appear when you need it. Now, the time has come. The ancients said
Born in sorrow and dying in happiness, what do you think of the Lich King Arthas?"
Princess Black Dragon's expression seemed to have softened, but it was still full of vigilance:
"Our trade with the Scourge has gone smoothly. I like the delicious ice worms they provide, and the taste of kobolds is also good. To be honest, I don't like the taste of mammoths, but some Stormwind nobles regard them as...
For delicacies."
Robbie shook his head and said solemnly: A black dragon that knows how to eat.
"The Lich King Arthas will inevitably wake up from his slumber, and Guardian Medivh will not let go of the enemies who threaten him. He will definitely use the invasion of the Burning Legion as an excuse to coerce the Alliance and the Horde to join forces to fight against the Lich King, Hyjal
The trauma caused by the Battle of the Mountain to Azeroth has not yet healed. The Alliance and the Horde can only let themselves be driven. Where will you go?"
The Black Dragon Princess lowered her head and fell into thinking. Thousands of years of experience told her that there has never been fairness and justice. It just depends on who is more shameless and has no bottom line.
Seeing the expression on the Black Dragon Princess's face, she seemed to be persuaded. Robbie knew there was something going on and continued:
"Medivh's enemies are not only the Lich King, but also the demon hunter Illidan from Outland, the Zerg of Silithus, the mysterious beings of Pandaria, and, by the way, your father Deathwing. When
If you become a stumbling block to the cooperation between the Alliance and the Horde, you will be in danger. Don't forget, you need to fake death three times."
The Black Dragon Princess finally believed Robbie's words and her expression became much friendlier: "So I need to fake my death for once?"
"No, there is still time. We need to prepare for a rainy day and pave the way for your suspended death."
"Okay!" Princess Black Dragon lamented, believing Robbie's kindness, showing a tired look, and couldn't help complaining:
"That's good. I can finally rest for a while. You don't know how difficult it is to manage a country. A group of greedy and stupid nobles are clamoring for profit all day long. I really want to eat them all. The most irritating thing
It’s those idiots who don’t understand the situation clearly. They want to commit suicide themselves, but they also want to bring more people into stupidity.”
The Black Dragon Princess sat slumped on the stone throne and sighed:
"I'm a dragon. Shouldn't I lie down in a cave and sleep comfortably, keep a group of kobold slaves, and occasionally rob the human kingdom? Why should I be so heartbroken for these noisy creatures?"
"In the early years, my father was dissatisfied with us brothers and sisters sleeping in the cave all year round. He asked us to come out for some air. We had two tasks, one was the laboratory in Blackstone Mountain, and the other was to enter Stormwind City. I just thought about the human kingdom, where there are so many colorful worlds.
It was fun, so I volunteered to come.
Thinking that it would take so much effort, I would have chosen Blackstone Mountain if I had known it. By the way, let your friends come out and go to the hearing with me tomorrow so that you can see with your own eyes how difficult these nobles in Stormwind City are to deal with. I guarantee you
After reading this, you won’t want to be a king.”
Early the next morning, Robbie and Vanessa showed up at Stormwind Keep early to attend Stormwind City's monthly hearing. The hall of Stormwind Keep was like a vegetable market, noisy, with messengers sent by lords from all over the country, and people from Stormwind City.
Nobles, representatives of the military, and even leaders of some chambers of commerce gathered together and submitted their demands.
Robbie met Duke Bolvar. This stern-faced, sturdy paladin seemed to dislike hearings. He probably thought that his duty was to appear on the battlefield. He just sat in his seat and remained silent, mainly because of
The black dragon princess transformed into Countess Katrana Presto to preside over the meeting.
First, there was information from the North. A priest from a North County monastery suggested:
"In the Plague Land, the Argent Dawn fought hard against the Scourge and suffered heavy casualties. We, the Kingdom of Stormwind, should send reinforcements to fight against the arrogant Scourge."
"Rejected." Princess Black Dragon said expressionlessly:
"The Plaguelands are too far away from us and will not benefit us at all. Also, I hate Sylvanas. Undercity is Stormwind City's mortal enemy. It is impossible for us to fight side by side with the Forsaken."
"The Scourge is the common enemy of the Alliance and the Horde." The priest protested.
"The Scourge Legion is only the enemy of Sylvanas and Thrall." The Black Dragon Princess's voice was full of majesty: "As long as Sylvanas sends out the main army of the Undercity, the Scourge in the Plague Land will have been wiped out long ago. We
Why worry about it? Are you providing materials for Sylvanas to create the Forsaken? Next."
This time it was a great mage. He bowed politely and said unhurriedly:
"The Burning Legion is raging in the Outland, and Archmage Khadgar is looking for help, hoping that the Kingdom of Stormwind will lend a helping hand."
"Rejected." Princess Black Dragon's tone left no room for doubt:
"Do you think I don't know? What Khadgar really wants to deal with is the demon hunter Illidan. He wants to seek dominion over the outer lands. Although I don't like that blind man, I don't want to waste my troops in vain to defeat him."
Next was the leader of the Trade Chamber of Commerce in Stormwind City, who proposed to the Black Dragon Princess: "I suggest trading with the orcs to sell the wood they urgently need. The orcs are at war with the elves because of logging in Ashenvale. We need to alleviate this tense situation.
situation, open trade for the sake of peace between the Alliance and the Horde.
"This is treason and betrayal of one's allies." Princess Black Dragon shouted in a high voice: "Do you think the orcs are short of wood? They are here to make weapons. I will never allow this to happen. Let me know who sold it privately.
Orc merchandise, I will hang him without mercy."
Another special envoy from Theramore sent a letter asking for help: "It has been raining continuously, the number of patients has increased, and Theramore's troops are in short supply. Ms. Jaina urgently needs additional troops."
The Black Dragon Princess sneered: "Theramore is Orgrimmar's meat warehouse, a gap that can never be filled, reject it."
A young noble stood up, flushed with excitement, and protested loudly: "Slander, this is blasphemy against the beautiful Lady Gianna."
The Black Dragon Princess stared at the young noble with an expressionless face: "What's your name?"
"Viscount Handel!"
"Very well, Viscount Handel, you will be the reinforcement sent to Theramore. I wish you good luck."
An adjutant of Marshal Reginald Windsor reported to the Black Dragon Princess: "The Blackstone Orcs in the Burning Plains have frequent activities, and the Marshal suggested adding more soldiers to protect Lakeside Town."
Princess Black Dragon was obviously stunned and whispered: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."
Vanessa leaned on Robbie's shoulder and fell asleep. Robbie listened carefully to the entire hearing and understood the secret of the Black Dragon Princess's rule.
She created a unique political system that she could not rule without herself.
The Black Dragon Princess allowed local lords to develop their own armed forces on the grounds that Stormwind City had no soldiers, and did not care about other Stormwind Kingdom territories except Stormwind City.
Because of this, powerful local armed forces such as the People's Army in the Western Wilds and the Night's Watch in the Dusk Forest have become legalized. In some territories far away from Stormwind City, their military strength is even so strong that it threatens the security of Stormwind City.
Photographed by the threat of an adult black dragon, lords everywhere did not dare to disobey Stormwind City's orders. They should pay taxes and send troops when they should.
But once King Varian regains power, these powerful lords can openly compete with Stormwind City.
Even if King Varian expels the Black Dragon Princess in the future, the area that the Wrynn family can influence is very limited, limited to the surrounding areas such as Elwynn Forest, Lakeside Town and Night Town, and it will be out of reach if it is further away.
The huge Kingdom of Stormwind, the most powerful kingdom of mankind, has only a small area left for Varian. No matter how much he messes with it, he will leave enough fire for the Kingdom of Stormwind, waiting for its revival.
Robbie secretly admired him, he was indeed a smart black dragon.
At the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City, Jaina completed the teleportation and soothed her slightly numb limbs.
Jaina is very smart. The Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City is the center of sacred faith. Even if the Black Dragon Princess wants to ambush her, she will not do it in such a place.
After the slight dizziness caused by the teleportation disappeared, Jaina began to look around.
Archbishop Benedictus of Stormwind City politely saluted Jaina and said with a serious expression: "Dear Lady Jaina, please allow me to say hello to the great naval commander Daelin Proudmoore."
Jaina naturally heard the irony in the words, but she was itching with hatred: "Archbishop Benedictus, I hope you realize how important the peace between the Alliance and the Horde is."
Benedictus still kept smiling: "Ms. Jaina, please also note that the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Kul Tiras have always been on good terms. Those who are not welcome in the Kingdom of Kul Tiras are the same as those in the Kingdom of Stormwind."
manner."
At this time, the king of Kul Tiras is Jaina's second brother, Tanred Proudmoore. Because Jaina killed his father, he has publicly declared that he does not recognize Jaina as his sister. (To be continued)
