At the end of a busy day's work, the King of Stormwind sat down on the couch in his bedroom, and his faithful attendant quickly served King Varian a glass of cold ale, the king's favorite drink after returning to his country.

Although it seems a little vulgar, the king likes it, and this reason is enough, isn't it?

"Well, Anduin has been out for almost a month..."

Varian took a sip of cold wine, then leaned his head back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and the next moment, a pair of gentle fingers on his forehead, kneading gently, Queen Valella is an idle person, although she is a queen, but recently she has been helping King Varian with other things, such as the secret affairs of MI7.

He had grown accustomed to Valrera's elusiveness back when King Varian was still Golash, so he just muttered,

"My son didn't even write a letter to me, which really saddened my father. ”

Valera smiled and rubbed her husband's forehead as she said,

"The war in the Outlands is said to be over, and little Anduin will be back soon, and it is said that he has gone to fight far away this time, and your son will grow up, and he will be as wise and brave as you, and he will not let us down, will he?"

A smile tugged at the corner of Varian's mouth, and he reached out to take Valera's fingers,

"It's our son... But he prefers to be a warrior to a king, and do you remember the heartfelt smile on his face when he received the letter of recruitment from Ulduar? ”

"Aren't you the same?"

The queen stepped over the sofa and sat down beside the king, reaching out to help Wari smooth out some of the stray hair on her head, "Didn't you always say that if you were to deal with those troublesome things, it would be better for you to go and fight with Goron?"

"Haha"

The king smiled heartily and put his arm around the queen's shoulder, and the attendants had quietly retreated, giving the king and queen time to themselves.

"yes, do you know how much my head hurts when I hear the nobles suggest one after another? I feel like it's 100 times harder to deal with and reconcile their relationships than the Goron we faced in the Bloodhammer Arena, and by the way, it's been a long time since I've seen Bearskin, have you been in touch with Brower lately?"

Valle stretched out her hand and picked up the glass of ale, took a sip as well, feeling the cool taste, and then leaned against Varian, stretched comfortably, and said in a kitten voice,

"Broll went to Draenor, the Cenarion Council was going to build an outpost and base there, Broll was a druid who had been in Draenor, so he was sent there, and it was said that the world was now completely fortified by Illidan, like a king-sized battlefield, it's unimaginable, a battlefield of the world. ”

"Well, Dick also invited us to the Draenor Fortress, which is said to be an outpost of Azeroth in the future, and any war that wants to attack this world must first pass through that broken world. ”

Varian took the glass from Valella's hand and said as he sipped it,

"It is said that Taylor drove the starship we supported to build this time to the battlefield of another world, spanning countless worlds, that kind of war, it makes people's blood boil when they think about it, but in fact, I am still hesitating, whether to send an army to be stationed in Draenor, you know, those tribes have not been very peaceful recently, and even on the border of Grizzly Province, their wolf cavalry has appeared. ”

A haze flashed across the king's face,

"Hmph, war, they want a war, there is no doubt about it. ”

"But you also know that there can be no more war..."

Valella rubbed her head on Varian's chest a few times, and muttered to herself, "The farms of the Wild West are already overgrown with weeds, and the East Valley lumber yards have lost a lot of people, and Mayor Solomon has even reported that there are not enough fishermen to be found on the lake, let alone the sparsely populated Burning Plains, where we have long had the idea of opening mines, but now we don't even have miners." ”

"While it is possible to buy enough food from the Pandarens to avoid widespread famine, Varian, you are well aware that the time has come for the country to recuperate, and not only us, but also Lordaeron and Kurtilas, as rulers, we should be more rational than allow hatred to spread, right?"

The queen's voice was soft, and the king was stunned, and at last a little discouraged,

"Yes, you're right, we've sent all the prisoners to Draenor, and we're guarding new territories, we've pulled everyone who has nothing to do into the army, but it's still not enough, you're right, my Valella, it's time to recuperate, but those orcs may not think so, if this war breaks out in 10 or 20 years, I'm sure of victory!"

Varian swore an oath, but then felt the queen raise her head and kiss him lightly on the cheek, and Valella seemed happy to get her husband to accept her offer, and with a flick of her left hand, a document appeared in her hand, and she handed it to Varian.

"According to the information compiled by Shore, the situation of the orcs and the tribe is actually not very good, they are suffering from the same problems as us, the barren land and the Thousand Needles Stone Forest are not suitable for farming, Thrall has been looking for a territory enough to feed more and more people, he has found... But Howling Fjord is not a peaceful place, and they need more time to develop it..."

Varian looked at the summary of information in his hand solemnly, and after Valera finished speaking, he could easily analyze the situation that the tribe was facing now with the eyes of a very good strategist.

"They don't have that much time, or rather, if the standoff continues, their plans to develop the Howling Fjords will be completely ruined, we are stronger in the Grizzly Hills than they are in the Howling Fjords, and in Northrend, they are weak... So, what Sal needs is, a truce?"

"Would the orcs do that? And the dwarves won't just let the orcs who destroyed Minethil Harbor go?"

Varian closed the information in his hand and rubbed his chin with his fingers, he even closed his eyes and thought about it repeatedly, and finally clapped his hands,

"Hah, I see! Dick took three years' worth of steel from Ironforge at a high price, and the dwarves had no intention of going to war, and if the war lasted for one year, their mines would suffer terrible losses, and he proposed that the various factions go to Draenor to build fortresses for each side... Is he planning to use this method to restore peace to Azeroth?"

"It's that we need peace for a while. ”

Valera corrected her husband's statement, and she got up from the couch and picked up the bottle next to her and poured herself and Varian a glass of wine.

"Dick doesn't seem to want to restore order to the world by coercion, although he can do so, he sees the wishes of each power, and coupled with the form of Draenor's war, he seems to prefer that the world will continue to be peaceful, but I guess even if there is a war, as long as it doesn't involve the destruction of the country and other bad things, he probably won't intervene. ”

Valella sipped her glass meaningfully, looked at her husband curiously, and blinked her eyes,

"Don't ask me why, it's a woman's intuition. ”

Varian nodded, and was about to speak, when a knock came from the door of the dormitory, and the king subconsciously looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, it was now 11 o'clock in the evening, and at this time, if it was not really an urgent matter, the attendants would not bother him.

"Come in!"

The king snorted, and his butler walked into the king's chambers with a letter in his hand, placed it on the table, and then withdrew respectfully.

Varian picked up the letter, looked at it for a moment, his face changed, he put down the glass in his hand, began to focus all his attention on the envelope in his hand, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the letter to Valera.

"They discovered another world... There were also humans, elves and dwarves, and Dick invited the king and chieftains to Ulduar to discuss what to do with Shakan, just as he had carved up Northrend... I knew he always had a way. ”

"Anduin was one of the first warriors to land on that world, and General Taylor praised him for shedding the glory of the Stormwind Kingdom on that land, and I knew that my son would not let us down. ”

Valera read the letter in her hand with satisfaction, compared to Varian's understanding of the situation, her joy was much simpler, but when she saw the few magical images sent by General Taylor, the eldest lady of Quel'Salas showed a disapproving look.

"The elves of that world are ugly..."

Then another one was opened, and the queen immediately smiled, and she flipped it over to the king.

"Look, our son. ”

Varian looked at the magical image, his son standing in front of a huge mechanical creation stained with blood and gunsmoke, holding a helmet painted golden lion, wearing a golden battle suit, golden hair fluttering in the wind, and behind him, the scene of the flames of war dissipating.

Anduin's face was full of a smile of victory, it was another sky, another world, but there, already enveloped by the power of Azeroth, that was the new frontier, King Varian took the image, and finally shook his head, and smiled helplessly,

"He's grown up..."

While the Varians were rejoicing at the victory of the prince of the Storm Kingdom, in the brightly lit Ulduar, Dick straightened up from the desk, put down the quill in his hand, and moved his somewhat sore wrists, Gianna and Liadline had gone to rest, he picked up his water cup from the table, took a sip of tea, and finally glanced at the plan he had just completed.

With a satisfied smile on his face, he left his desk and strolled out of the study.

A moment before the starlight of Ulduar had faded, we saw the front of the pile of paper that had been placed on the desk, in large letters written in fluent Titan script.

"Estimated time: 28 years of the Dark Gate"

"Codename Invasion"

"Target: Argus Domain. ”

The galaxy outside the window has never been so bright and gorgeous, and when the starlight shines on this not too old world, a new era has quietly opened at the top of this world.

The fate of countless people, along with the fate of this world, along with the fate of countless worlds, is quietly changing at this moment, yes, we look forward to the arrival of that era, moreover, it is already coming.
