Archmage Antonidas's loyalty to the Alliance is unquestionable, Archmage Modra...... King Terenus had some ...... with the archmage when he was young Speaking of which, among all the mages of Dalaran, this archmage is the most trusted person of King Terenus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to these two archmages, the relationship between Master Khadgar and Lordaeron is the closest; The archmage who was involved in the killing of the Guardian Medivan not only knew a lot of secrets about the orc invasion, but also hated the invaders.
Aside from these three, the rest of the mages of Dalaran, even if they were members of the Kenrito Council, King Terenus could not fully trust; One is because they don't understand, and the other is because Archmage Kael'thas is one of the members of the Kenrito Council, who is the prince of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and the High Elves in this battle really don't look like a reliable ally other than Lady Aurelia and her rangers.
Looking for help from Dalaran? - Prince Garin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that King Terenus was the one who really thought about it - there were red dragons in the orc camp, and without the help of the mages of Dalaran, it would be impossible for the human soldiers to defeat these creatures flying in the sky.
But...... Prince Garin's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty King Terenus, there is no magic array connected to Dalaran in the city of Riptide Castle......"
It is a shame to say that despite being the most militarily powerful country in the human kingdom, Riptide Castle's financial resources are really not flattering; Of course, pure financial resources are not the reason why the Torbane family can't recruit court mages, it's just that Riptide Castle, as the main place where the big raid that ended the "Magic Art Renaissance Era" back then, is still ostracized by most of the mage guilds in Dalaran, and few serious mages will accept the invitation of Riptide Castle to become court mages here, which means that there is no portal magic array in Riptide Castle.
"No magic circle?" King Terenus was stunned for a moment, and frowned - without the magic array, and the air supremacy was in the hands of the Red Dragon, then Riptide Castle would be completely dead - which meant that if you want to rescue King Soras, you will mainly rely on the strength of the ground forces......
"Let's go, time is pressing." King Terenus did not answer Prince Garin's words, but nodded to the leading griffin messenger - since Riptide Castle does not have a magic circle, the mages of Dalaran may not be able to reach the battlefield in time; But the more this happens, the sooner it is necessary to pass the message to Dalaran so that Archmage Antonidas can prepare.
"Yes." The griffon messenger nodded, and said goodbye to Prince Garin, before calling one of his companions, untying the griffon, stepping onto his mount, fastening the leather harness, and flying to the west.
"Your Majesty King Terenus, when are we going to set off and head at full speed towards Riptide Castle?" Prince Garin asked anxiously.
"Let's go. But Garin, I want you to return to Riptide with these griffon messengers. There are things that are not clear on letterhead, and you are the best person to convey the message - your father will never doubt what you say. "King Terenus began to arrange Prince Garin's itinerary.
"Back to Riptide Castle? Good, good! Prince Garin nodded again and again—even if King Terenus didn't mention it, he still wanted to go back! Garin, who knew the emptiness of Fort Riptide's defenses, longed to appear by his father's side in the next second - for him, confirming his father's safety was even a hundred times more important than confirming the safety of Fort Ripwater.
"Well, Garin, remember, tell King Solas that we'll speed up, but it will take at least an hour to get to Fort Riptide, and if you can hold out until then, we'll take care of the rest!" Before leaving, King Terenus told Garin what he had to tell his father.
"An hour...... Or maybe more......" Prince Garin frowned and muttered, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart - three thousand palace guards resisted fifty thousand orcs for an hour...... Even with the barrier of the city wall, it is not an easy task!
"I see, Your Majesty King Terenus, I will tell my father that we will fight until the last moment, and I will leave the rest to you and Sir Lothar." Prince Garin bowed to King Terenus - the situation in Riptide Castle was so urgent that if he had more time, he could have gathered his troops in various parts of the Arathi Heights, but his father was running out of time, and the only thing he could rely on was reinforcements from Lordaeron and Stormwind.
"I swear by my surname Minahir that I will not break my promise." King Terenus solemnly replied - although the kingdom of Stormgard and the kingdom of Lordaeron were allies, this incident was entrusted with the life of Rapids; If his side arrives on the battlefield later, Fort Riptide may become a "camel crushed by the last straw" during that time; However, the march was uncertain, and he could only use his oath to soothe Prince Garin's apprehension.
"Well, I believe you, Your Majesty King Terenus." Prince Garin nodded, no longer faltering, and turned to the other griffin messengers who had not yet been assigned tasks, and said, "You guys, fly back to Riptide with me...... Can it be done? ”
The griffon was large, but the creature itself was not lightweight, and carrying a light-armored messenger was already a quota, and Garin was not sure if he could fly if he could fly if he had boarded the griffon; And he couldn't ride a griffin alone—something he couldn't handle without training.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince, if you and I take off our armor, it should be enough to support us back to Riptide Castle." As he spoke, Prince Garin could not contain his eagerness and walked towards the group of griffons; Several griffon messengers followed closely behind their prince, the thinnest of them all, taking off his leather armor and suggesting to Prince Garin.
Ignoring Prince Garin, who was pondering how to ride a griffon, King Terenus knew he had time to ask Ser Anduin Lothar and Uther what they thought of the strategic measures at this time.
Seeing King Terenus' questioning gaze, Uther hesitated for a moment, but then spoke, "Full speed ahead...... Isn't it too anxious? Not to mention whether King Solas can hold Riptide Fort for such a long time, even if he does, our cavalry has spent so much physical strength to rush to the battlefield, and when the men and horses are exhausted, they will fight against an army of more than 50,000 orcs in the field...... The chances of winning are not very big. ”
