As the sun was about to rise, the Bird Men escorted Ali and Sui Liangfeng to the gates of Stormwind City.

"Please step out of the sedan, we have arrived at Stormwind City," the Bird Man respectfully bowed, his face beaming with a smile.

"Thank you," Sui Liangfeng stepped out of the sedan and handed a bag of gold to the Bird Man, "This is for your service."

The Bird Man happily accepted the gold, "Safe travels."

"Thanks," Sui Liangfeng waved his hand, signaling the Bird Man to leave. He then turned to Ali and extended his hand, "Little sister, let's enter the city."

Ali understood and took Sui Liangfeng's hand as they got off the sedan, "Got it, big brother."

The four Bird Men watched as the siblings entered Stormwind City. "That fox girl is truly beautiful. It would be wonderful to marry her," one of them remarked.

"In dreams, anything is possible. With her brother being so generous, do you really think he would let his sister marry you? At the very least, he would find a suitable young man from a similar background," another Bird Man chimed in.

"Tsk tsk," one of them shook his head, "Let's focus on our work. Someday we will find our own suitable partners. There's no need to worry about it now."

"If we could get our hands on a vampire teleportation array, we wouldn't need to carry the sedan anymore. We could just set up a station and collect tickets," the green-haired Bird Man suggested, rubbing his chin.

"Hush!" Another Bird Man quickly covered its mouth, looking around cautiously and whispered, "This is the imperial city. If someone hears you praising vampires, you're done for."

"Just saying," the green-haired Bird Man smirked awkwardly.

The four Bird Men carried the sedan back to the border.

...

"Sui Liangfeng, you took advantage of me," Ali complained as they entered Stormwind City. "I am not your sister."

Sui Liangfeng was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Is that something worth arguing about?"

"Of course," Ali replied matter-of-factly, "Not being taken advantage of is my principle."

Ignoring Ali, Sui Liangfeng walked straight ahead.

The scenery of Stormwind City wasn't particularly prosperous, with shops lining both sides of the streets. Occasionally, a few restaurants and inns could be seen, but they were quite empty. Only one magnificent palace caught Ali's attention.

The sign on the palace's gate read: Stormwind Your Majesty Palace.

"Sui Liangfeng, is that the palace up ahead? It seems quite tasteless. It's clearly owned by a nouveau riche," Ali disdainfully commented.

Sui Liangfeng shrugged, "Just a difference in culture."

He walked forward and handed two guards a blue crystal card, "A token of appreciation."

The guards took the money and asked, "What business do you have here?"

"I am a friend of Prince Galral, the second prince. Can we meet him?" Sui Liangfeng smiled.

"Wait a moment," one guard replied before hurriedly entering Your Majesty Palace.

"I don't know if the prince will see you or not," the other guard looked down on Sui Liangfeng.

"That remains to be seen," Sui Liangfeng replied.

The guard reached Galral's sleeping chamber and respectfully bowed, "Your Highness, there are two individuals who claim to be your friends and wish to meet you at the palace gates."

"The vampire queen is not breaking her promise. She really wants to help me ascend to Your Majesty," Galral thought to himself.

"Quickly, let them in," Galral said to the guards who came to report.

"Yes, Your Highness," the guard quickly saluted and thought to himself: It seems that those two are really the prince's friends. I have to return the blue crystal card, but it's not easy to get the money.

In a while, the guard arrived at the gate of the palace and said to Sui Liangfeng, "It's my fault for not recognizing you both."

As he spoke, he took out the blue crystal card from his pocket and returned it to Sui Liangfeng.

Sui Liangfeng waved his hand and said, "It's just a small amount of money, not worth mentioning. Consider it as an expense for helping us pass the message. If you feel bad about it, you can take us to see the second prince. After all, it's our first time in the palace."

The guard, hearing what Sui Liangfeng said, stopped refusing.

"Please follow me," the guard made a gesture of invitation.

Sui Liangfeng and Ali followed the guard into the palace. The orc palace, unlike the vampire palace, had rough and distinct lines. It not only clashed with the landscape, but also appeared very abrupt. It was made of colorful marble, uneven wood, and metal, standing as if it cut through the sky."

"All that glitters is not gold," Ali silently commented in her mind. "The craftsmanship of the orc empire is really backward. It's not even as good as the casino I run myself."

"The location of the second prince is ahead. I still need to stand guard. If the captain of the guards finds out, I will lose my salary," the guard said before leaving.

Ali and Sui Liangfeng walked in the direction the guard had pointed. Before long, they saw an exquisite and luxurious garden with artificial mountains, flowing water, and beautiful flowers and trees.

"It seems that the second prince has some taste," Ali evaluated in her mind.

The two continued walking and after passing through the garden, they came to a pavilion.

A fox man with brown fur was sitting in the pavilion. He was wearing a simple white robe, and his handsome face exuded a faint majesty. At the moment, he was making tea, his wrist gently moving as the tea leaves swirled in the water.

Ali approached him and a magic bead appeared in her hand, which she gently waved in front of Galral.

Galral stared at the magic bead in Ali's hand with a confused expression.

"Are you Galral?" Ali asked in a low voice.

"I... am Galral," Galral's expression remained confused, as if he were bewitched.

Confirming the other party's identity, Ali took back the magic bead.

In that moment, Galral regained his senses. "What just happened to me?"

"We were just confirming your identity, no need to worry," Sui Liangfeng spoke up. "My name is Sui Liangfeng, and this is Ali. The queen sent us to assist you, Your Highness, in ascending to the throne."

"Why do you need to confirm my identity?" Galral looked at Sui Liangfeng with confusion and doubt in his eyes.

"When we entered the orc border, we encountered another orc who had the same face as you, Your Highness. The pressure he gave off was very strong, and if we rushed in without caution, we might have encountered a fierce battle," Sui Liangfeng explained.

After listening to Galral's words, Sui Liangfeng instantly became uneasy. "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? How is it possible for someone who looks exactly like me to exist in this world?"

"I won't make a mistake," Sui Liangfeng said. "I suspect that this person has the ability to change their appearance. When you sought help from the Empress, there should have been attendants by your side. I suspect that one of those attendants was the problem. This suspicious attendant learned that you, the Crown Prince, were about to ascend to the throne, and took on your appearance, waiting at the border for an opportunity to lure and kill us."

"The Orc Empire needs a new revolution now; this revolution will benefit both the country and its people. Why would this person want to kill you and stop this revolution?" Galral's emotions were becoming agitated. "Who is this person and why would they impersonate me?"

"The Empress needs allies, and this revolution must happen. Even if the other side doesn't suspect our good intentions, we will still be eliminated," Sui Liangfeng said.

"What should we do now?" Galral asked. "The vampire Empress wouldn't just send the two of you, would she?"

"The two of us are enough," Sui Liangfeng said. "If you want the country to reform, you can only ascend to the throne. Right now, you can only trust us, or you wouldn't have sought help from our Empress."

Galral was thinking about whether or not to take the gamble.

If he won, he would be able to change the Orc Empire and avenge his older brother. If he lost, he would be left with no other way out but death.

Of course, he could choose not to gamble. Slowly, he could watch his father suffer, and the throne would naturally be his.

Not gambling would be a slow death, and when the Ruined Land Alliance army attacked, the revolution would become meaningless.

The Divinity and Demon's Continent would have no power to resist the Ruined Land Alliance army's onslaught.

Sui Liangfeng and Ali sat across from Galral, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Galral spoke, "Since the vampire Empress trusts you, then I will trust you as well. I will die sooner or later anyway, so I might as well take the risk!"

"Since the Crown Prince intends to become the ruler, I assume you are prepared," Sui Liangfeng said. "Why not share your plans with us so that we can start formulating a strategy?"

"After six years of effort, I have already gained the loyalty of fifty percent of the generals," Galral said, his face serious as he revealed the current situation.

"Please provide us with information about the remaining fifty percent of the generals. From now on, the Crown Prince only needs to wait for good news and the day of his ascension," Sui Liangfeng said.

"I have no choice but to trust you now. I hope you can succeed," Galral said.

"Please rest assured, this matter will definitely succeed," Sui Liangfeng said before leaving.

Galral watched their departing figures and felt that his decision was somewhat rash.

But in reality, he had no better choice. He couldn't just watch the Orc Empire be destroyed, even though the destruction came late.
