I play as a beast in World of Warcraft

Chapter 143 Strategic Planning



"I am honored to wait for you in Dalaran, His Royal Highness Prince," Anthony's attitude towards Arthas remained polite. Setting aside the prince's title, it was clear that the prince's status did not hold much weight when facing certain races and powers.

Outside Stormwind City, there was a giant boar named 'Princess,' what does that prove? Only strength is truly valuable and earns recognition.

Arthas received information from the Naga, detailing the matters he had instructed them to monitor.

The Naga, thriving in the sea, held a unique advantage, enslaving almost all underwater creatures except for a few powerful ones who remained independent.

The information mainly revolved around the Tribe's activities, particularly the southern Tribe secretly building ships, indicating a potential sea expedition.

Clearly orchestrated by Guldan, with even Goblins involved, one wonders what incentives were offered to the Goblin cartel to secure their loyalty.

Another piece of news revealed that the Tribe had reached the outskirts of Quel'Thalas, turning the Ghostlands into a sea of flames.

The burning forests forced the Hunters to abandon jungle warfare, facing mass slaughter. Sylvanas had no choice but to retreat with the Hunters to Silvermoon City, relinquishing the outer defenses.

Sylvanas now faced serious accusations that could lead to her execution!

Instead of advancing, the Tribe began excavating runestones, using Quel'Thalas' magical barriers for sorcerous reinforcement.

Transforming ogres into two-headed ogres, the typical ogre's intelligence only reached elementary levels, while the two-headed ogres effortlessly mastered spells and elements, experiencing a significant boost in intelligence from elementary to university levels.

This enhancement was nothing short of game-breaking.

Silently absorbing this information, Arthas's primary concern was whether Darkan in Silvermoon City had made contact.

Empowering him in exchange for inciting unrest in Silvermoon City, highlighting the orc threat and brutality, projecting images of orcs slaughtering elves to instill fear in the populace.

Collaborating with the orc offensive to plunge Silvermoon City into panic.

The formidable Tribe was not invincible the Alliance had managed to withstand their pressure.

By activating the Sunwell, the Silvermoon Council could harness potent Arcane energy to counter the invading orcs.

The situation was not insurmountable, but the Sunwell's reach was limited.

Located on a distant island to avoid surprise attacks, the Sunwell's vulnerability remained unknown to the common folk. Arthas intended to exploit this information gap, stoking fear and then negotiating with Silvermoon City.

Fortresses are often breached from within, and only when the high elves are in disarray can Arthas pressure the Silvermoon Council. Moreover, it was just a mere woman, not a significant humiliation.

Arthas assigned Vashj to handle this matter, knowing her to be cunning.

To ensure her dedication, Arthas bestowed a portion of Life Essence upon her, suppressing her curse, allowing her to maintain her Naga form and utilize some high elven magic, enhancing her strength comprehensively.

As a result, Vashj vigorously promoted the cause, leveraging the advantages of the Naga.

Soon, the elves of Quel'Thalas found themselves in disarray, forced to retreat from the outer forests into Silvermoon City.

"Your Highness, we are one day away from Windrunner Port, which may not accommodate our ships and could potentially face a peak in orc forces," Marlan reported, her recent busyness reflecting her dedication.

Despite not having been intimate with Arthas, she had once assisted him orally, which could be considered an intimate encounter.

Apart from prisoners, there were also gnolls in the army, employing gnolls for warfare seemed like a mad idea.

But for Arthas, whose forces were stretched thin, any intelligent being was a valuable asset he would not refuse.

"Understood, do not worry. With Naga's assistance at sea, we have nothing to fear. Let us proceed to Quel'Thalas by sea; landing at Windrunner Port would require several days of overland travel.

However, there is no rush. Let us wait at Windrunner Port for now," Arthas's lips curved into a mysterious smile. "Once the high elves offer enough leverage, we will strike, considering they have not joined the Lordaeron Alliance!"

Marlan nodded, refraining from involvement in the political struggles, focusing solely on battlefield conquest.

"Understood, I will make the arrangements."

Relations between kingdoms are not straightforward; every decision must consider tangible benefits.

Even with the connection to Alleria, Arthas would not directly assist with troops without bargaining.

Moreover, no one knows about his intimate relationship with Alleria at most, they are just comrades who fought together.

While the enemy is in the light, I remain in the shadows, quietly making moves!

Gianna has been observing Arthas handling matters, studying magic in Dalaran, then suddenly ordered to be by Arthas's side.

It has been agreed within the family that after the orc war ends, they will be engaged. Even Queen Consort Leanne fully supports this decision, leaving little room for hesitation.

For Gianna, this arrangement is acceptable Arthas is kind, promising, and holds a significant position, which suffices for her.

After finishing official duties, Arthas stretched lazily, beckoning Gianna over, "How have you been in Dalaran recently?"

"It's been the same as before. Arthas, they say you have Spouses now, is it true?" Gianna, not adept at concealing her thoughts, couldn't keep certain things to herself.

Arthas touched his nose, then nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, I do have Spouses; she is the Black Dragon Queen. Gianna, I'm sorry, but I need a woman to heal me. Every opportunity comes with risks; without my Spouses' companionship, I wouldn't be able to cope. My mind would deteriorate, and my body would suffer from overload without her."
