20. New Dalaran

After taking care of Gallisus's side, Arthas took his leave of Varian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's not that he wants to go back to the royal capital to find his father, in fact, there is another more important thing for Arthas to do than to go back to his father and get the hammer of destruction.

That is the reconstruction of Dalaran.

If the city is compared to human beings, Dalaran, who has a thousand-year-old history, is undoubtedly the wisest of the crowd. In front of such a wise man who has gone through countless storms, formed the Council of Tirisfa, and fought trolls, orcs, Naga, and even demons, a single "destruction" cannot really cut off his life.

Dalaran would be destroyed twice, at least in Arthas's memory, but either time, the city was reborn at the hands of resilient mages, and eventually became a powerful force in determining the course of the world.

So, having received an invitation from Kel'thugad, one of the Seven, there was no reason for Arthas to refuse to join in the rebuilding of the great city, even if he was now a mere cheerleader and sponsor.

"Thank you very much for your support and that of Your Majesty, and the Lords of Kenrito will take Lordaeron's help to heart," said Archmage Ansrem, who came to thank Arthas for his support, "You and Your Majesty will be Dalaran's eternal friends, and Dalaran's door will always be open to you." ”

Ansrem Ruinwivol is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, unlike Kel'thugad's feeling of being close to old age but in good spirits, although the guy in front of him is no longer young, he has a youthful momentum, it can be said that if the vitality value is also a combat power, then this Anslev will undoubtedly become the head of the seven, so that Arthas wonders if the other party has inexhaustible energy.

"You're welcome, after all, the alliance is one, and Dalaran's disaster this time, as members of the alliance, we naturally have the meaning of helping."

"If everyone really thinks like this, I'm afraid we won't let the orcs land quickly in the first place......"

When the news of the destruction of the kingdom of Azeroth came through Kenrito's channels, in fact, the northern allies did not believe it. Aside from the preparations of Fort Riptide to the south, most people thought it was just an exaggeration by Master Kenrito - that Storm Fortress would be destroyed in a day? Don't be funny, how can there be such a thing!

At the time, only two countries had responded to Kenrito's warning, one was Fort Riptide and the other was Lordaeron. At the first moments of the news, Terenus did not hesitate to lead Lordaeron's army south with Kenrito after a three-day confirmation process, which is why when the Azeroth exile fleet landed from the South Seas, it was Terenus who would be the first to greet them.

It's just that even three days seem to be much later. Lordaeron's strength was also insufficient to radiate to the southern region, so the orc troops landed smoothly, and a series of battles began after that. As for what Ansrem is complaining about, it is undoubtedly Gilneth and Elves, who have been extremely sluggish in this war.

Speaking of which, Arthas has just learned that in the elves' own historical records, orcs have appeared in distant and unknowable antiquity, but this record is actually very small, and it belongs to the kind of thing that is easy to ignore. Mixed in with the High Elves' accounts of "vulgar inferior bastards", no one noticed.

Before the orcs arrived, this was a minor mistake, but it became complicated when someone accidentally found a record of it in the elves' books after the destruction of Dalaran. Even though there was no overt conflict under the suppression of Antonidas, it was easy to see in the process of reconstruction that Dalaran was now clearly divided into two factions - the human faction and the elven faction.

"It's going to be terrible to go on like this, and maybe it's going to split the whole of Dalaran," Arthas sighed at the worry in the minds of the seven, "but the timing of this account is so good, just when everyone's emotions need a catharsis...... If you say it this way......"

Arthas suddenly thought, this must have been arranged by his father, right? Although the official record shows that his father has always been touted as the savior of mankind, the pillar of optimus in the great cause of resisting beasts, the well-deserved emperor of the alliance, and the leader of mankind...... But seriously, if it was really a saint with no bad virtue, how could it be possible to unite the seven kingdoms of the alliance that had been divided against each other for thousands of years?

Moreover, a divided Dalaran is more in the interests of Lordaeron than the transcendent Magic Kingdom on the Cross Island before. Although this raid was obviously an accident, the response after this was all about preparing to expand the sphere of influence after defeating the orcs.

"Your Highness don't worry," Obviously, the archmage in front of him also thought of what Arthas had in mind, and looked at Arthas stunned there, and immediately added, "That person has been verified to be not from Lordaeron, but has something to do with Rapids. ”

It's as if you didn't know that Riptide Castle was equal to my father's vassals after the orcs came......

Arthas rolled his eyes, and then said, "Forget it, I don't understand the affairs of adults, so let him go." The current thing is still on the reconstruction of Dalaran. Don't look at me small, I know that a magic city is not something that my father and I can do by contributing gold coins. ”

"Hmm...... Indeed, the most important thing in front of us is to rebuild Dalaran, and the threat of orcs and red dragons is imminent, so it is not a good time for infighting," Ansrem agreed, "As for the reconstruction of Dalaran, to be honest, the construction work in the past few days is just some traditional fortifications, and the real Dalaran is not even a blueprint." ”

The Cross Island is now flying like broken glassware, and the new Dalaran will definitely not be able to rebuild on it, so the first thing to rebuild Dalaran is the battle for the site, you read that right, it is a battle, because on the second day of the site selection meeting, the mage of the whole Dalaran launched an all-martial arts, and the scene was no different from the fireworks display, so Arthas was very impressed.

After some friendly and restrained "discussions", Kenrito decided to build a new Dalaran in the southern part of Lake Lordamere, at the foot of the Alterac Mountains. However, after the site was decided, the second question came next, although because the lord of this place, Arthas, said that he would fully support the reconstruction of Dalaran, but after the demarcation of the site, how to build the new Dalaran became the second issue that the mages needed to discuss, and this time, the friendly and restrained "discussion" obviously could not influence the mages' whimsical design ideas, whether it was elves or humans, old people or apprentices, they all contributed their own designs for the new Dalaran City, They all want to make their mark on this nascent city.

So the mages hastily fenced off the fortifications of the territory given by Arthas, and began to collide with each other for a long time, so much so that almost a month had passed, and Dalaran had nothing but the walls. On the other side of the mountain, Ambermere has also begun to take shape, and I heard that a few weaker mages have already run there to build the mage tower.

All in all, the current Dalaran is in the same crisis as the campuses and clubs in various strange campus animations! At this time, the six archmages of Dalaran stood up and decided to ......

Build a Violet Fortress.

In the previous battle against the Red Dragon, the disadvantages brought about by the dispersion of the Seven Towers of Dalaran were clearly visible. Obviously, the six of them can tear the dragon by hand, but in the face of this overwhelming attack, they can only be broken by each one. So, in order not to let the nascent Dalaran repeat the mistakes of the past, Antonidas and Kael'thas took the lead and decided to use the latest research results to build an energy hub, which is also the center of the nascent Dalaran, the exclusive abode of the six, the Violet Fortress.

Of course, this is a super fortress with seven mage towers, and will be the energy center on which the entire Dalaran depends, according to Ansrem, this violet fortress will have other functions, such as building a defensive barrier around it, but for now this is just an idea.

"In short, we need to strengthen Dalaran's defenses and prevent another tragedy from happening this time......" Arthas shrugged, "but in that case, why don't you raise Dalaran in the sky?" ”

"Huh? Rise into the sky...... It's a good idea, but the current technology doesn't do that," Anslem said regretfully, "Actually, the levitation experiment has already begun, but because of the tragedy of this time, the content of the experiment may have been greatly delayed." Having heard that the Explorers' Guild had discovered some traces of ancient rune technology in Northrend, Kenrito had planned to work with the dwarves to find valuable information...... Your Highness? Are you okay? ”

"No, it's fine, I just walked for a while...... Alsace shook his head as he was awakened, "but thank you for reminding me." ”

Looking at Ansrem, who looked inexplicable, Arthas smiled and didn't say much.

But by this time, a plan even bolder than the assassination of the Hammer of Doom had begun to take shape in his head.
