Experiment 335's presentation was a failure!
Although he tirelessly explained to the soldiers the strengths and weaknesses of the Orcs, as well as the awkward geographical location of the Northwatch Hold, the disadvantages brought by the long supply lines, and revealed the truth that the purpose of the Northwatch Hold was simply to deliver fresh meat to the Orcs.
However, the soldiers of this era were generally uneducated and lacked the spirit of questioning and resistance. They were only loyal to their lord, Jaina. They held King Varian in awe and respect. Perhaps a few would agree that his words seemed reasonable, but this would not change their minds.
History always repeats itself, especially in a backward monarchical era like Azeroth. The apathetic masses need a few Elites to lead them, otherwise they have no idea which way to go. And when they encounter a lord like Jaina, they can only accept their misfortune and become food for the Orcs.
After the speech, Experiment 335 realized his failure. He felt that he lacked charisma, and the soldiers lacked empathy. In a sense, the thoughts and independent personalities of ordinary soldiers were not much stronger than those of the Undead Scourge; they were just a bunch of wooden blocks who only knew how to obey orders.
Experiment 335 believed it was necessary to stay in the Northwatch Hold to impart his ideas to the soldiers, saving as many as possible, and perhaps some of them would grow as a result and become capable generals in the future.
Although Robbie didn't approve of Experiment 335's capriciousness, he had no choice but to let him be. What he needed to do now was stall for time, gradually wear down Jaina's patience, and eventually take control of the situation.
Jaina was very annoyed, especially after discovering that Rexxar had escaped with the other half of the Elf sword. This made her increasingly unable to control her anger. She consulted Aegwynn simply told her to calm down and that everything was under control.
On this day, a large ship from Stormwind City docked at the Northwatch Hold pier. The Northwatch Hold welcomed an unexpected guest and invited Robbie and Vanessa into the cabin for a chat.
As Robbie approached the ship, he sensed the presence of Lava and Flames; this secret messenger was none other than the Black Dragon Princess.
"My lair is in the Dustwallow Marsh, and I occasionally come back to take a look. My brother gave me quite a few Dragon Eggs, which I have to take care of and hatch." The Black Dragon Princess wore a black robe that covered her face and looked travel-worn. This time, she came to the Northwatch Hold, but she was strictly keeping it a secret.
"You don't need to worry about things here. Our preparations are almost complete," Robbie said confidently to the Black Dragon Princess. With the Eye of Kel'Thuzad, none of Aegwynn and Jaina's plans could be kept from Robbie.
"Don't be so overconfident," the Black Dragon Princess snorted displeasedly, offering a reminder.
"The former Guardian is definitely not simple. I feel she's going to cause trouble in Stormwind City. A female orc Orcs Stealth as a human noblewoman has entered Elwynn Forest. I have a feeling this is an ominous sign."
He then looked at Vanessa with a provocative gaze. "I think her strength is no less than yours."
The competitive Vanessa immediately objected, her eyebrows furrowing. "Fine, go ahead and find her, let's see who's better!"
The Black Dragon Princess shook her head after hearing this. "That Stealth disappeared as soon as she entered Elwynn Forest. I don't believe she was just passing through. Think about it, right under my nose, in Elwynn Forest, there's a top-tier Orcs Stealth. I absolutely cannot allow this to happen, so I hope you can help me find her."
Vanessa frowned slightly upon hearing this. Finding a Stealth in Elwynn Forest was virtually impossible. Robbie was also helpless. Even with the Eye of C'Thun, which could scout the entire area of Theramore was, after all, a military fortress, and its size and population were far smaller than those of Elwynn Forest.
"I need some clues, eyewitnesses or witnesses, preferably items the Stealth touched or tools they used, which might provide some clues," Vanessa said cautiously after thinking for a moment.
The Black Dragon Princess smiled wickedly, "It's been prepared for a long time."
The three of them went down to the lower deck of the ship and saw the carriage that Garona had ridden in.
Vanessa carefully observed the carriage, cautiously sniffing its aroma.
Even though several days had passed, and with the salty, damp smell of the ocean, Vanessa still recognized a familiar scent. "It's Garona, that's right, we've fought her several times, I remember her scent."
"What! Garona?" The Black Dragon Princess was shocked upon hearing this, and a look of caution appeared in her dragon eyes.
Garona, the Half-Orcs, is a renowned Legendary Stealth. Her feat of killing the King of Stormwind City, a true ruler, is so illustrious that all assassins and thieves can only look on in awe.
Robbie's heart skipped a beat, and he analyzed seriously, "I think Garona came to Stormwind City for only one purpose."
"King Varian!" Vanessa understood and nodded.
The Black Dragon Princess narrowed her eyes and said sinisterly:
"So as long as we keep a close eye on King Varian, we can find Garona. Haha, I must find her and devour her. Devouring a Legendary Stealth will surely make me, the Black Dragon Princess, famous among dragons."
Everyone knows Garona's superb assassination skills, but just as her alluring appearance and figure after transformation are often overlooked, few people know that Garona is actually a highly trained spy.
Lady Paula Angel, this is Garona's human identity. A beautiful and charming noblewoman from elsewhere, she wants to quickly become known in the high society of Kingdom of Stormwind, and a ball is the best way to do so.
Balls were social gatherings for the upper class, where nobles would get to know each other, introduce their daughters to other nobles, and expand their social circles.
An elegant and beautiful foreign Lady could easily become a star at a ball due to her outstanding looks, slender figure, and graceful dance, and thus be accepted by high society.
However, becoming famous at a ball has a major drawback: the human forces in Azeroth are actually quite limited. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are deeply intertwined and know each other very well. If a noble from another kingdom enters the upper class of Kingdom of Stormwind, their background will be thoroughly investigated before the ball is even over. This is normal practice.
Imagine a noblewoman who suddenly appears and no one knows her. If she can't explain her background, it can become a very serious matter. In fact, the noble class is very exclusive. A noblewoman who is unfamiliar to everyone is easily ostracized and may even attract the attention of relevant departments, who might investigate whether rats have entered one of their warehouses.
Deathwing was able to infiltrate human high society as Lord Prestor because the Prestor name had been established for many years, longer than the history of many royal families.
Trying to make a name for oneself at a ball is not advisable, Garona, now Lady Paula Angel, knows this all too well. Fortunately, she has experience in this area and is well aware of the weaknesses of the House Wrynn.
She needed to approach King Varian in a discreet, unnoticed way.
Her method was divination.
