Dalaran, Ares never dreamed that the first time he saw it, it turned out to be in ruins, there were no towering magic towers, no magic shops dotted with exquisite gems, no lush mage gardens, just ruins, barren grass, and a few wisps of smoke rising from the ruins, which were temporary settlements for the refugees, some houses that had not yet completely collapsed.

"This is it."

Andrei said respectfully.

"How did this happen?"

Walking on the ruins of Dalaran, the people here are very indifferent, perhaps witnessing the catastrophe and having mental problems. Several mages stood up alertly, looking at the intruders, but the presence of the Five Fireballs by their side made them relax their vigilance.

The largest ruins can be seen, the base is still intact, the middle and upper part of the building has completely collapsed, pressed against the thick base of the building, where mages and civilians cook and set up makeshift tents, which looks like a former magic temple. Or the council chamber of Dalaran.

The magic towers on either side were already lying on the ground, reduced to a pile of rubble. The streets were improvised, and there were even blood stains on them that could not be washed off. You can imagine the tragic situation after the destruction of the city at that time.

"After the Scourge of Arthas came in, they carried out a brutal slaughter of the city, many of the mages here are not actually battle mages, but only come to Dalaran to study all kinds of magic, they have no combat experience, and among the many mages, there are actually very few mages who can use harmful magic. Although Archmage Anthony opened the portal and sent some troops over, it was to no avail. The army of natural disasters was like a surging flood that flooded the city. I've heard that Kelgasud, the necromancer under Arthas, also summoned the Great Demon. It was it that completely destroyed Dalaran. ”

André was on the sidelines, acting like a guide, explaining to Ares what had happened here three months ago. Although Ares felt in his heart that the henchman beside him was a coward, at the moment, if he wanted to ally with the remaining mages of Dalaran, he still needed to build a bridge from it, after all, the Scarlet Crusaders did not have a good reputation outside.

Ares and the group continued on their way, and Andre and Drumm followed Ares like two faithful bodyguards. It wasn't until they reached a large hall that seemed relatively intact that they stopped at the towering steps.

From the top of the steps, a beautiful mage in a blue robe walked down. She wore her golden hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked very elegant and elegant, and her fair face was undisguised, but she was naturally beautiful. The pale blue eyes hide endless wisdom. Slim and well-proportioned, although not as hot as Sylvanas, it reveals an elegant temperament.

"Gianna, Gianna. Glad to meet you, Prodmore, High Lord Ares. ”

The female mage walked down step by step, and when she reached Ares, before Ares could speak, she took the initiative to open her mouth and introduce herself. There is no shelf of a noble lord at all.

In the next second, Ares was stunned...... Jaina? How did Gianna end up here? At this time, shouldn't she go to Kalimdor to establish the port city of Theramore? Historically, it was the appearance of Gianna that the Alliance and the Horde reluctantly united to fight against the Scourge Undead and the Burning Legion. Akmund has been summoned, and the battle of Mount Hyjal is just around the corner, however, at this time, Gianna is here?! Do you want to leave the Night Elves alone against Akmund? A series of questions made Ares momentarily confused.

That's not how history works......

"Gianna? You really are Gianna. Ms. Proudmoore? ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Ares's question made Gianna and the mages of Dalaran around him feel extremely embarrassed.

And Ares quickly realized that he was acting a little stupid, and instantly changed his words—"Don't get me wrong, ma'am, I just remembered your father, who was a great king. ”

"Hehe, indeed, I have always had great respect for my father, he taught me a lot, if Anthony, my teacher, taught me magic and the use of my own powers, then my father taught me honesty, friendliness, equality, and so on."

Gianna said politely. She does seem to be very educated, with a good temperament and level. At the same time, her voice is very good, gentle and elegant, full of magnetism. Although the figure is not as good as Sylvanas, in other ways, it is very attractive. Seeing Gianna with her own eyes, Ares finally knows why the princes of two famous kingdoms in the history of Warcraft were fascinated by her. There are also many people who are willing to follow her.

"High Lord, do you know my father?"

"Hehe, I know him, but he doesn't know me. The admiral's reputation was so great that when I was a child, he was a hero of World War II. And the people I admire. ”

Ares replied with a smile.

Gianna smiled and invited Ares into the house to talk. The purpose of coming here Andre has already reported to Gianna in advance, and in general, many of Ares's proposals are fine, and he is here today to do specific consultations.

"Andrei has already told me the general situation, and I myself greatly appreciate the proposal, High Lord. At a time when the natural disaster is raging, and Lordaeron, Quel'Salas, and Dalaran have fallen, we must unite all the forces we can unite to fight this terrible plague and disaster. I agree with your letter that we will cooperate in an alliance, but to tell you the truth, my lord, we must henceforth elect a lord among us to decide on some important matters. ”

Entering the house, Gianna sat down elegantly, only Ares and Gianna were in the room, and the servants were standing outside the door. Originally, such a matter was secretly agreed upon by the top leaders of the two sides.

Ares noticed that the house was still as it was before the disaster, with the walls covered in beautiful murals, and the chandelier burning with a faint purple flame, and a few lamps illuminated the living room. The long tables are also very clean and tidy. It was topped with fresh bread and fruit, as well as some cheese and wine. It must be a must-have for entertaining guests.

"That's a must, but that's in the future, and right now, we can work together and get to know each other better. The Scarlet Crusaders can provide a strong battlefield bulwark for Dalaran, and our warriors can be the strongest shields to protect the archers and mages in the rear. And the team of mages led by Your Excellency can just make up for the lack of long-range strikes of the Scarlet Crusade. As you said, unity, we will have great fighting power. As for the leader, there is no need to think about it for the time being, because in the future we will have to unite more forces, such as Gilneth behind the high wall, Ironforge and Stormwind Kingdom in the south, and when the alliance is unified again, the debate over who will be the leader will be fierce. ”

Ares took a sip of wine and replied politely. I never thought in my life that I would sit at a table with Gianna and negotiate with almost equal status.
