The content of the letter from the eldest princess Kalia is relatively simple, in which she recounts what she has seen and heard in the Stormwind Kingdom and the initial results of this trip. But Adelan didn't know why she was using a very ...... It is indescribable to write this letter, and this letter is full of all kinds of "official" and discourse that needs to be interpreted in a certain political way.

For example, "Duke and Countess Catlana Presto of Bovar Fortagen welcomed us warmly and generously on behalf of the Stormwind Kingdom. Later, we had a cordial and friendly conversation with the noble council of Stormwind on trade and other matters", which can probably be interpreted as a good discussion on the exchange of interests, and Kalia exchanged some of the private treasures of the Minethil royal family and the recipes for some luxury goods provided by Edlan for the possibility of a preliminary agreement between the two sides, laying a solid foundation for the next negotiation on how to assist Lordaeron.

Again, from the beginning, Adelan already knew that Kalia was implying that King Varian and Prince Anduin, as the king and crown prince of the Stormwind Kingdom, did not appear at the welcome ceremony, and the thing behind this is worth pondering. Even if it weren't for a traveler like Edlan, seeing the beginning of this letter would have raised the question, what about the king and the prince, and why did the duke and countess come to greet them?

This is an asymmetry in the diplomatic level, since the other party has been warmly and generously welcomed, it means that the other party does not deliberately make things difficult and put on a face, but Princess Kalia is the last descendant of the royal family of Minehir, and the people of the royal family naturally need to be at least Prince Anduin to attend the reception ceremony, but now not only is there a problem with the reception, but even the negotiation of state affairs is actually "talking" with the noble council, and the royal family has not appeared.

"Even though I knew it for a long time, it was really intriguing after it happened......" Edlan recalled, standing at the bow of the boat, blowing the gentle breeze from the near sea, ordering no one to disturb him for the time being, which made him feel comfortable thinking about the contents of Kalia's letter, and he continued to read the following.

“...... However, we had a frank and detailed conversation on the specific matters of assistance", which can be interpreted as a great difference between the two sides, far from being able to reach an effective agreement, and may not even be able to communicate well. The main reason for this may be that the interests have not been negotiated, and no one wants to do things that have no interests, even if Lordaeron's government-in-exile "brags" about the disaster of the undead, saying that helping Lordaeron is equivalent to helping themselves, it will not help, because those nobles who sit back and relax in Stormwind and have no pain in their skin even turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people, how can they experience the disaster in the far north?

"Then, we exchanged views on the extent of the impact of the Scourge of the Dead", because there was no way to talk about the previous point, so we could only say what the Scourge of the Dead was and how harmful it was, but when it came to this matter, the Lordaeron government-in-exile and the noble council of Stormwind City had different opinions, you said yours, I said mine, and no one could convince anyone.

“...... At the end of the first day of talks, although the atmosphere was good, we had not yet received the commitments we wanted. Every day I leave my homeland, I miss it all the time, and I hope that everyone who stays in my homeland is well. ”

The end of the first page of Princess Kalia's diary-like letter, whatever the outcome of the meeting, at least made Adline look a little kind, and then when he turned to the second page, his brow almost upside down.

“...... At the beginning of the second day, to our surprise, the other side skipped the tedious and lengthy exchange of views before sending troops, and agreed to send reinforcements to help Lordaeron through the difficult situation. However, on the matter of sending troops, the two sides had a full exchange of views," which means that the talks suddenly progressed for some unknown reason, but no effective consensus could be reached on the specific details.

According to Edlan's guess, it should be Tirio and other military representatives who want the Stormwind Kingdom to send regular troops and professionals in tens of thousands, and contact reinforcements from Ironforge Fortress, with Tirio commanding these troops like Ser Lothar in the past. But the Council of Nobles probably didn't come up with so many soldiers at all, just send some people at will, so they agreed so happily the next day, after all, the landlord's family has no surplus food, oh no, it's not easy to live in the Storm Kingdom.

Those people in the aristocratic council originally thought that the other party had fallen to this extent, and some troops sent to them were already considered to be "begging for food", but they didn't expect that the other party really wanted to open a dye shop because they gave some color, so they discussed this fundamental issue endlessly.

Then, as Adelan had thought, Princess Kalia's letter stated, "...... After this fruitful consultation, the two sides have gained a lot of understanding between each other, and I hope that you will come and listen to the opinions of the noble councilors, and you will definitely benefit a lot. ”

The meaning of this ending sentence is probably that the two sides finally reached a consensus on the Stormwind Kingdom's agreement to send troops to aid Lordaeron, but in terms of specific matters, the demands of the two sides are basically opposites, the differences are too big, and the negotiation is estimated to be impossible, but the specific number of troops can come, Kalia has put forward her own views very tactfully, don't hold out too much hope. At the same time, Edlan also put a big question mark on the quality of the reinforcements sent by the Stormwind Kingdom, MI7 is estimated to secretly operate to collect first-hand information, and the elite of the Seventh Legion should not expect them to come out......

This letter, which is like a "letter from home", can be seen at this point, and it can be seen that Princess Kalia and her party do not seem to be able to get the "grand and friendly" welcome in Stormwind City as they did on the first day, so despite the "homesickness" of the first day, but

The next day, without even mentioning the topic of this matter, she hastily finished the letter, and was able to peek into the treatment of Princess Kalia and her party after they had won these reinforcements.

But now Edlan has no way to affect the situation in Stormwind City anyway, and Onexia has reached the point of calling for wind and rain inside, and it is already benevolent to send troops to help Lordaeron, right? Or what is the evil she-dragon scheming about? The first day he put it back, and the next day he agreed, it doesn't look like the style of a conspiracy guy should be.

This is also the most distressing part of Edlan, he doesn't know whether Kalia's trip is good or bad, and this incident will definitely ruin the specific operation of Onexia to carry out a plot in Stormwind City to a large extent, which makes a certain time-traveler lose the trump card of "prophet". But it has to be said that it is far better to let Kalia go to Stormwind than to "historically" her whereabouts in the chaos are unknown, at least Lordaeron's military and civilian resistance in the Northlands can be more determined, and Lordaeron's banner can still fly in the Northlands.

Because they know that their efforts and sacrifices are worth it, and that there is still a possibility for the country to be revived.

As the person who facilitated this and is likely to become the biggest official in the Northlands, Edlan is pondering how to consolidate and develop his power so that Lordaeron can recover as soon as possible and devote himself to defending Azeroth...... But time passed quickly, and before he could come up with a clue, the "journey" was over, and Edlan sailed back to his territory.

Anaheim has changed a lot, at least on its periphery, along the coastline, with a number of temporary stone 10-man temporary dwellings, which were originally built to house the troops and refugees evacuated from the direction of the Silver Pine Forest, but since Edlan took over the refugees from Quel'Thalas, it was expanded again to temporarily house the Blood Elf refugees, waiting for the ships to transport them to the Hillsbrad Hills in batches.

The military and civilians on the other side of the Silver Pine Forest broke through in the direction of the Tirisfal Glade was completely a warning from Muradin, after the undead natural disaster swept through the Tirisfal Woodland, it spread along the direction of the Silver Pine Forest, and at this time, it went north through the direction of Lake Lordamire, avoiding the undead soldiers, and then entered the Tirisfal Woodland, which had become a fallen area, and the density of the undead decreased a lot, which was unexpected by many people.

Since Fenris Castle was originally the stronghold of Marshal Garissus, but after he was requisitioned to the Undead Fortress, it lost its chief officer and a large number of elites, and the 500 men under the command of an officer with the rank of second lieutenant remained here.

Although many people still died in the war under the ravages of the undead, with advance and timely preparation, there was a great transfer of tens of thousands of people under the noses of the undead army.

I don't know if it's an accident or Arthas's "bad taste", but the Death Knight who led the Scourge to attack the Silver Pines Forest was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse he left behind in Lordaeron to clear the way for him, Garitharth. Of course, no one knows these things yet, and this Death Knight disappeared as if he had disappeared after leading the army of the undead into the Silver Pines Forest.

Having said that, it can be said that the city of Anaheim has now accommodated 200,000 people of all races in the flow of refugees, and this number is still increasing! Thanks to the fact that almost all of those refugees were evacuated in an organized manner with the army, and they carried a lot of rations, the burden on Anaheim City was greatly reduced. Similarly, on the blood elf side, because the treasury and the royal granary were still well preserved, Kael'thas waved his hand and sent the necessary supplies along with a large amount of money and food with the refugees, which made the officials at all levels who stayed in Anaheim City breathe a sigh of relief.

It is also worth mentioning that the Brotherhood of Masons and the epoch-making building materials, it is because of their presence that the refugees can live in a sturdy house that can shelter from the wind and rain in a short time, although they are usually two families huddled together, but it has to be said that in the era of the collapse of the country, they can not sleep in the open, and under the protection of the city walls that are constantly "conjugated", they can also receive certain relief items from the authorities, and if they are sick, there are clergy who can solve it...... And all they have to pay is some labor, which is fair! It's fair that they can't even imagine such a life on the way to escape!

But these people, even the officials and garrisons who have been stationed here for a long time, seem to have forgotten that Anaheim City was originally built to the specifications of a large fortress standing on a hill, but now they only see that the city is becoming more and more radiated, and they only see that the whole city has not fallen into the slightest depression and decadence due to the destruction of the country under the abnormal prosperity, but is changing every day in a thriving situation, even if such changes are based on the abnormal rate of population gathering.

It's like having a glass that people say it's rum when it's full of rum, when it's a magic spring made by a mage, people say it's magic water, and when the glass is filled with hot milk, people rightfully say it's milk.

And only when the glass is empty, people will say it's a cup.

The inhabitants of Anaheim City now seem to Adelan to think a little bit like this, and many refugees seem to think of it as a "new home" and don't mind what it was originally built for. And this, I am afraid that many officials and garrisons in the city have forgotten, this is a military fortress.

This trend of thought has become the mainstream, but fortunately, after Adelan got off the ship, he checked the city defenses and found no suspicion of Marcus being slack, but he had a good skill and integrated the miscellaneous armies of various forces quite well, which made Adelan feel better.

However, the man was not in a good mood at once, for Alessandros Mograini had heard of the arrival of the large fleet, and that the lord himself had returned with this mixed fleet of elves and humans, and the two met on this wall by the sea.

In Adelan's opinion, this great lord's complexion is better, and because of the Ash Emissary's record of sweeping thousands of armies, the name of "Ember Bringer" is rapidly fluttering in the ruined land of Lordaeron, and many people have begun to think that as long as this warrior with the holy sword is present, it is only a matter of time before Lordaeron's undead are wiped out.

This is the confidence that Alessandros gave to the people, and it is also a shackle and burden for himself, but he doesn't care, he is like those older generations of paladins, he is full of infinite love for his homeland, so he will not feel difficult because the burden on his shoulders has become heavier, and he will not be afraid of it, because he has this ability, has this strength, and is also very confident, even proud.

So much so that after the return of this powerful lord, he alone was able to purge all the undead who roamed within ten kilometers of Anaheim City, and this feat made many of the former Lordaeron officials in Anaheim City begin to subconsciously follow Alessandros' instructions, which made Edwin Van Cleef feel very stressed as the chief consul. Edwin also respects the respected old-timer and hero, but meddling in the management of other people's territories is not a good thing, and it is not something that a nobleman with a great title like him should do, this is the rule, this is the law of the king, this is something that cannot be trampled on.

The combination of old heroes and new exploits made Alessandros quickly gain great fame, and even some of the refugees who fled here later thought that among the few human strongholds in the Silver Pine Forest, Tirisfa, and East and West Lordaeron, this best-preserved and largest stronghold, and even expanding, thought that it was ruled and protected by this great lord.

This made the refugees worship Alessandros so much that they were blind.

"Good boy! Well done! No shame on the Anaheim surname! Your father will be proud of you!" was Alessandros' first sentence after meeting Edlan. Although it sounded to outsiders that the former was very much like a kind elder who was relieved to see the younger being so promising, the next words made the latter feel very helpless and expected.

"I've heard you've brought a lot of elven reinforcements, which is great, I think we'll be able to recover Lordaeron in a year at the latest. Alessandros stood with his hands on his hands, and he stood at the head of the city looking out at the busy scene of the harbor, the famous Ember Messenger carrying it behind his back as if it were a part of his body.

This sword is very unique both in the "past life" and in the present, whether it is the wide sword body like a plank, or the sword grid (handguard) directly based on the national emblem of Lordaeron, all of which highlight the temperament and loyalty of this great lord.

Adran knows that a good general knows how to win wars, and a good leader should know how to avoid unnecessary wars. Although this phrase is not appropriate for the struggle between the living and the dead, in reality, despite the fact that Anaheim City is very prosperous now, its power is really not suitable for waging large-scale active warfare.

The first point is that the army order is not uniform, although Adelan has been personally appointed by the eldest princess of Kalia, and there is no commander with higher authority for the troops fleeing from the direction of the Silver Pine Forest, but this does not mean that he can immediately master this force, which takes time to digest and integrate, during his absence, what Marcus can do is to arrange the tasks of these people according to the original configuration, and Edlan is back, he has the authority to break them up and regroup, which is the necessary step to truly master an army.

And now there is another Alessandros, a powerful and very powerful and respected old hero, if he Edlan doesn't want to be the second in Tyranfordin, he will have to completely regain control of the power that should belong to him after returning.

It has to be said that such a power struggle between human beings should be avoided in many cases, but at any time, people's different ideas create such a struggle.

Why does Alessandros want power? Aedlan never doubted the former's patriotism, and even the sword grid of the Ember Messenger was made in the shape of Lordaeron's national emblem, you say that he was in order to seize power and take advantage of the troubled times to become an emperor of the soil? Of course, he wanted to master enough troops as soon as possible, and then regain the lost territory and recover the motherland.

So what does Adelan want power? He is a time-traveler, and naturally knows that the Northlands will continue to be chaotic to a large extent as in "history", especially after the arrival of Kel'thugad and Naxxramas, not to mention that Renault was instigated by the Dreadlord to fall and kill his father, and directly caused the banner of the entire Northlands "Ember Bringer" to fall, and since then, the last hope of quickly destroying the undead has been extinguished, and the hope of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to regain its kingdom has also been extinguished.

Of course, that's all "history", and now that Adlane is here, he wants to avoid the worst. But now, when he faced this aggressive old hero, his strange silence made the other party feel unhappy and incomprehensible.
