"That's great!"
Arthas breathed a sigh of relief, and hearing Aurelia say this made his heart feel better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lady Frost...... What's wrong with her?"
Arthas said no more, but Aurelia asked her own question.
Unlike the others, Aurelia knew Frostmourn's true identity, even though it was only a smoke bomb that Arthas had released in the beginning.
Having seen Frost Sorrow play with Master Cadgar in the palm of her hand, Aurelia has always looked away from her, but over the past six years, despite her still eccentric personality, Frost Sorrow has largely integrated into Arthas's life.
Therefore, seeing Frost Sorrow's listless look, Aurelia hesitated for a moment, but still asked with concern.
"She's ...... Ahem, let's leave her alone......"
Arthas coughed dryly twice, then diverted the subject - how else would he answer? Could it be that he and Frostmourn had been making out in the bedroom all day, so the little magic sword had not recovered yet?
"Everyone, please be quiet, everyone's time is busy, let's get down to business!"
King Terenus rose from his seat and pressed his hands twice in the air, attracting everyone's attention.
"Yes, Your Majesty King Terenus, I have something to say about this...... Are you in a hurry now?Fight the trolls...... The High Elves have not been able to destroy these difficult creatures for thousands of years, can we end the war in a short time? if not...... Isn't the alliance going to be dragged into a quagmire again?"
It was Anduin Lothar, the uncrowned king of Stormwind, who said this.
Although Varian Wryn had long since been crowned and the council of Stormwind had been reconstituted, Anduin Lothar's deep bond with Varian, as well as the sheer prestige he had built up during his war with the orcs, earned him the unanimous trust of Stormwind.
In return, Anduin Lothar is also single-mindedly concerned about the future of Stormwind, and although it is impossible for Stormwind to sit idly by in the war at Lordaeron due to past friendships and favors, Anduin Lothar at least hopes that he can be ready for anything.
"Yes, Sir Lothar. Lady Aurelia has brought important information from the Wraith Lands, and given some things we didn't know about before, I think it's worth some time to plan for the war. ”
Arthas found a seat and sat down, then said to Anduin Lothar.
Six years ago, Arthas's wisdom, foresight, and courage had won the attention of the leaders of these alliances, and now, six years later, as the adult heir of the kingdom of Lordaeron, he certainly has enough status and confidence to speak freely at such a meeting.
"Is there such a thing?"
Anduin Lothar frowned, then looked at Aurelia, for there were very few humans in the troll realm who could get out of it once they entered it.
Therefore, even the well-informed Anduin Lothar lacks understanding of these guys, so the information brought back by Aurelia is extremely important to everyone here.
"That's right, a few days ago, His Majesty King Terenus sent me to the Wraithlands to do some reconnaissance of the situation there, and in the process, I found ......"
Aurelia stood up under Anduin Lothar's gaze, and in a soft voice, recounted what she had seen in the Ghost Lands.
When Aurelia finished her narrative, the faces of everyone present were much more solemn than before, they did not expect that the development of events would be so different from their expectations.
According to Aurelia, the trolls have never stopped preparing for war for a day in the past six years.
Aurelia and her companions entered the Troll's Jungle, where they were surprised to find that the garrison in the woods had become quite strong, and almost every distance they advanced, they would be attacked by Troll Headhunters.
Relying on her unique stealth skills, the experienced Aurelia bypassed the trolls' gaze and took a closer look at the two troll cities.
As previously told to Arthas, Aurelia saw a huge army in the city of trolls.
Countless troll warriors train in savage and ferocious fights with each other, and countless troll witch doctors are equipped with all sorts of colorful poisons in a dense network of giant steamers.
What surprised Aurelia the most was that the kind of trolls with huge bodies that had disappeared from the troll camp for thousands of years had reappeared.
This kind of troll that has been transformed by countless bodies has immense strength, and perhaps only a dragon can compete with them in terms of physical strength.
"From this point of view, the situation is really not optimistic......"
Anduin Lothar nodded with a deep groan, acknowledging King Terenus's judgment of the situation.
"Since the trolls have been eyeing our city, there's no reason for us to back down. In the past six years, the warriors of Fort Riptide have not stopped training for a moment, and I want the trolls to pay back tenfold for the blood that flowed under Fort Riptide six years ago. ”
Solas Tolbairn is no longer young, but His Majesty's body is still strong.
Despite the history of the battle between trolls and High Elves far beyond that of humans, Solas will never forget the bloody scene they inflicted under Riptide six years ago when the orc army besieged Riptide Castle.
The name of Tolbane originally came from the name given by Soladin the Great to the ancestor of Solas during the war with the trolls, which means "troll killer".
King Soras, who is known for his bravery, naturally will not let the ancestor's surname be dusted, coupled with that blood feud, and not see the land of ghosts drowning in the blood of trolls, His Majesty the King will not be blind.
"Stormwind will send all the warriors we can to dispatch as much as possible, and we have a part in this war. ”
Anduin Lothar made a statement, and although his king, Varian Ureon, had not yet spoken, everyone knew that Anduin Lothar's words were just as valid.
"The place where the trolls are active doesn't seem to be close to the sea, we Kul Tiras......"
Daylin Prodmoore's face was embarrassed.
In the past six years, with the exception of Gilneis, several other human kingdoms have established fairly solid alliances more or less because of Arthas.
Naturally, Daerin would not be a byholder in such a battle, but the warriors of the Kingdom of Kurtilas were good at naval battles, and fighting on land was indeed an act of fighting with long blows and short blows.
"About that...... Your Majesty King Dalin, I think the Kingdom of Kurtilas can give us a solid guarantee in terms of support. On top of that, the Stormwind Kingdom's armies will need the help of your fleet to reach Lordaeron's northern border. ”
Anduin Lothar smiled as he comforted his old friend.
"Of course, there is no problem. ”
King Daelin nodded, his country had no other ships and sailors who could cross the endless sea.
"So about the specific number of troops and the supply of logistics......"
King Solas asked.
The owner of Riptide Castle had no objection to sending troops, but what about the supplies needed for the march...... You can't let go of your rich neighbor in vain, right?
"Your Majesty King Soras...... You're staring at my father's pockets again!"
Arthas teased with a helpless smile on his face.
"Haha...... Hahaha......"
Being teased by a junior, King Solas had an embarrassed look on his face, but he was not angry.
"I talked to Alfonso before that if I send troops now, I will be able to get supplies for the autumn harvest in the middle of the way, and it should not be difficult to hold on until next year. ”
King Terenus said that there was nothing to worry about when it came to supplies.
"War with trolls shouldn't be just a human thing?
