Chapter 1866: Chapter 1260: Reginald’s Request (Ben the Cat’s Soft, Plump Belly)_3
In fact, earlier in the letters from Mayor Mareb and Marshal Osleight, they had already highlighted Duanmu Huai’s formidable prowess. Mareb was more laid-back, just a Necromancer, something Stormwind wasn’t short of people to handle. However, the content of Marshal Osleight’s letter was somewhat alarming: six people eliminated nearly a thousand undead army. At the time, King Varian was still under Onyxia’s influence and not in a clear state of mind, but he understood the implausibility of this. Yet, at that time, he didn’t think much about it, only knowing that the problems at Southshore Town and Arathi Highlands were solved, and this adventurer was merely helping to deliver messages.
As for the specific situation, it wouldn’t be too late to ask when Marshal Osleight arrives. So at that time, Varian just gave Duanmu Huai a little travel money, and the latter didn’t seem particularly concerned about it.
And now?
A person who can flip a Black Dragon with one blow, is it strange for him to wipe out thousands of undead?
Not strange at all, is it?
But why has Varian never heard of such a mighty person?
One must know that in recent years, the Continent of Azeroth has been tumultuous with constant events, such a strong figure shouldn’t remain unknown.
Could it be, that this is a trap set by the Black Dragon? Perhaps Onyxia had long known Reginald would return to accuse her, so she deliberately used this method to escape? Or maybe, the man himself has issues?
"Your Majesty."
Just as Varian was pondering in deep meditation, Marshal Reginald spoke up.
"I have a request."
"What is it, Marshal Reginald?"
"Regarding the issue of Blackrock Mountain."
Marshal Reginald’s expression grew serious as he looked toward Varian.
"Onyxia did indeed attempt to orchestrate conspiracy in Stormwind, but I suspect this was not her primary goal! In fact, during my investigation at the Burning Steppes, I was captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves and was luckily rescued by a few adventurers. And I am certain, there are definitely conspiracies going on with those Black Dragons in Blackrock Mountain! Therefore, I once again urge your Majesty to order the army to conduct a sweep of the entire Blackrock Mountain!"
"The......"
Upon hearing Marshal Reginald’s request, Varian showed a distressed expression. Previously, Marshal Reginald more than once believed Stormwind should send troops to clear the Dark Iron Dwarves and Dragonkin at the Burning Steppes, but at that time, most people, including Varian, were indifferent to it. Moreover, Stormwind was now in ruins, ill-suited for deploying troops. Besides, the Burning Steppes was a barren place, so no one wanted to court trouble there.
Later, Marshal Reginald decided to take a team to investigate and then disappeared.
Initially, everyone thought he was dead, but he turned out to be imprisoned by the Dark Iron Dwarves!
While detained by the Dark Iron Dwarves, Marshal Reginald had nothing to do and couldn’t escape, so he was constantly contemplating in the prison.
He came to the Burning Steppes discreetly, so how did the Dark Iron Dwarves find him?
From the ambush set by the Dark Iron Dwarves, it was clear they had received intel, rather than blindly stumbling upon him like a cat catching a dead rat!
So, Marshal Reginald, thinking it over, pinpointed the culprit to The Countess, confirming after investigation that she was indeed Death Wing’s daughter, Onyxia.
But the problem wasn’t solved there.
The question was...... why did Onyxia target him?
Though Marshal Reginald and Onyxia were adversarial, there were others in Stormwind who were also at odds with Onyxia; coupled with the Dragonkin at Blackrock Mountain, Marshal Reginald made a bold assumption that Onyxia targeted him because he was investigating Blackrock Mountain!
In other words, there must be something at Blackrock Mountain that Onyxia doesn’t want him to see!
So, upon returning to Stormwind, Marshal Reginald once again sought King Varian’s permission to investigate Blackrock Mountain.
No matter whether the deceased Onyxia is genuine or not, it’s certain Blackrock Mountain holds something the Black Dragon doesn’t want others to discover, and since Onyxia was causing trouble in Stormwind, it indicates the happenings at Blackrock Mountain are definitely connected to Stormwind!
However, for Varian, now it’s really impossible to spare personnel to go to Blackrock Mountain.
"I understand your intention, but we truly can’t spare much manpower to investigate Blackrock Mountain......"
"Then, I have a proposal, I hope that warrior can accompany me to Blackrock Mountain once more."
"The......"
Upon hearing Marshal Reginald’s proposal, Varian instantly grasped his intention.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Certainly."
Marshal Reginald nodded.
"This...... I certainly have no issue."
Varian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"But I’m not sure whether that warrior would agree to go to Blackrock Mountain with you."
"Don’t worry, Your Majesty; leave the task of persuading him up to me."
At this moment, Marshal Reginald also showed a serious expression.
No matter the case, he must uncover the truth behind this. If the adventurer’s strength is indeed solid, then this time going to Blackrock Mountain, he alone would suffice to equal a regiment!
