Claudia thanked her and took the gift and went to Gianna's side, while Daillin turned to greet other people, such as his former comrades-in-arms, Marshal Windthor and Duke Grayson, who had fought in the last war, other high-ranking members of Stormwind, and Dalin's own Theramore officers who had fought in the Holy War on Mount Hyjal.

One by one Theramore officers showed their love and support from the bottom of their hearts when they were received by Dai Lin, obviously Dai Lin was far more popular than Gianna, which was taken for granted, Gianna was a woman, and she was not brilliant in commanding operations, so most of the officers did not approve of Gianna's leadership from the bottom of their hearts, and they were willing to listen to Gianna's command before, which was also the reason for Dai Lin's face.

The welcome ceremony was followed by a celebration banquet, and this time Dai Lin did not come alone, but also brought a large fleet and a large number of supplies, both officers and soldiers, all of whom enjoyed a feast and drinks with sufficient supplies.

As Gianna's friend, Claudia has been dining with Gianna, because she has eaten a lot of snacks in Gianna's carriage, so Claudia does not have much appetite, and after stopping eating, she finds that Gianna is also not interested in food today, so she proposes to Gianna:

"Your Highness, why don't we find a place to rest first?"

"Okay, come with me."

Gianna agreed, and took Claudia to her study in the Mage Tower, and the Offa Demon Servant quickly brought milk tea to the two, Claudia tasted the sweetness of the milk tea, and saw that Gianna was still a little uneasy, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

I've heard Gianna say before that she is worried about her father, but judging from Dalin's performance when they met before, he doesn't love Gianna ordinarily, so what's there to worry about?

With a question, Claudia asked, "Your Highness, what are you worried about?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Gianna sighed, "My father is on this trip, I'm afraid he wants to attack the tribe with Lavarian this time." ”

"Attacking the Horde?!" Claudia exclaimed, "Why do you say that? ”

Gianna explained, "If it's not for attacking the Horde, why bring so many troops? ”

In retrospect, Claudia also realized that something was wrong, as Gianna said, there were quite a few army officers from Kurtilas next to King Daylin at the first meeting, and what to do with so many troops if he was simply to visit his daughter or resupply Theramore.

"The tribe is no threat to us now, why do you have to go all the way to chase the tribe?" Claudia didn't understand, "Obviously, there are still hundreds of thousands of compatriots living under the threat of the undead in the Eastern Continent!" ”

"My brother died in the last war many years ago, so my father has hated the tribe all these years." Gianna said with a gloomy face.

Hearing that it was this kind of blood feud, Claudia was inconvenient to say anything, so she turned to say: "But the tribe is not easy to deal with, take a step back and say that even if we win, what can we do?" History has long proven that the asylum policy is the most unsuccessful strategy, the orcs are miserable to lose their freedom in the shelter, and we in Lordaeron are also burdened by the heavy burden of the shelters, unless we ---"

Claudia guessed a terrible guess, and Gianna nodded and confirmed, "There will be no shelter, in my father's opinion, the Shadow Realm is the place where orcs should go." ”

"Holy Light." Claudia did not approve of Dalin's idea from the bottom of her heart, and in the context of the widespread belief in the Holy Light in human beings, such cruel behavior could easily lead to political passivity, "Your Highness, since you are worried, why don't you persuade your father?" ”

"It's that simple." Gianna grabbed her beautiful broken blonde hair with her right hand in distress, and spit out bitter water: "My father has always treated me as a child who will never grow up, and he has never listened to me. ”

Claudia nodded sympathetically, she had more than ten years of experience in being ignored by her own father.

Gianna's resentment became bigger and bigger: "And you don't know, some time ago, my father forgot that I was young, and when he saw me, what the topic of conversation became all day, you are not young anymore, hurry up and choose one of Prince Liam, Prince Garin, and Duke Stosong to marry, I want a grandson to inherit my kingdom." ”

"I know the two princes, Liam and Garin, but who is the Duke of Stozon, and which of the three highnesses do you like?" Claudia's interest has been diverted.

"I don't like anyone, my youth is at least a few thousand years away, so I don't want to have children ...... so early."

Just as Gianna and Claudia's conversation began to get more and more crooked, the atmosphere was still at its climax in the Theramore Ballroom, where the senior officers boasted about their achievements while drinking large bottles, and after Daillin toasted the officers, he privately called Varian to a quiet reception room and got down to business.

Varian had drunk a little too much, and he was wiping his face with a cold towel to try to sober himself up, and he was the first to ask, "I heard that Your Majesty Dalin attacked the Undead Scourge in Lordaeron some time ago, how is the battle going?" ”

"The undead natural disaster is great, Princess Jialia is missing again, and under the fight of each other, it seems that there is no hope for Lordaeron in the short term." Dalin was visibly in a bad mood at the mention of this topic, and instead pulled out his pipe. "Let's think about getting rid of the old enemy tribe first."

Varian rubbed his forehead with his hand and frowned, "Settle the tribe?" Now? ”

Dai Lin unhurriedly stuffed tobacco into his pipe, lit it and took a puff before continuing: "Yes, right now, now the tribe has just finished a big war, and the casualties are not small, and the two of us have more than 10,000 troops in Theramore, which is enough to wipe out the tribe." ”

"The tribe is not easy to deal with now, especially their great chieftain Sal." Varian is not as optimistic as Dalin, although the Horde has suffered a lot of casualties, but the army of the Stormwind Kingdom has suffered heavy casualties, as for the soldiers of Kul Tiras, Varian has seen it before, they may be a good hand at sea, and their combat power is obviously limited on land, otherwise Varian would not let the Theramore army fight soy sauce every time they fight head-on, and the First Legion will take on the most difficult task.

"Is the tribe in such trouble?" Dalin's expression became serious, he could see the strength of Varian's soldiers and officers today, Kul Tiras's army was far inferior, he didn't expect Varian to give the tribe such a high evaluation.

"It's going to be more troublesome than you think." Varian then explained to Dahlin in detail about Thrall's tenacity and determination in several battles, as well as the strength of the Horde's new allies, and expressed his judgment: "Actually, I think that even if we want to fight, now is not the best time, and it would be better to attack the Horde after a while. ”

"Why?" Dai Lin was puzzled, "Since it's so tricky as you say, giving them time to grow will only be more difficult to deal with." ”

Varian said, "After we finished the war, I signed a peace agreement with the Night Elves and the Horde. ”

Dai Lin was a little puzzled by this: "What does this have to do with the agreement, could it be that we still need to abide by the peace agreement between us and the beasts of the tribe?" ”

Varian explained in detail: "The key to the agreement is on the Night Elves, the Night Elves are a very powerful race, and there are many contradictions with the tribe, with the aggressiveness of the tribe, it is estimated that it will not take a few years for the Night Elves to take the initiative to join our alliance, and at that time, with the help of the Night Elves, the chances of winning will be greatly increased." But if we attack the Horde now, victory or defeat will make the Night Elves wary of us and lose a potential ally. ”

Dalin was silent, admitting that Varian had some point.

"And I still think it's better for us to find a way to attack Lordaeron first, the horde is a small threat compared to the undead after all." Varian clenched his fists and said with deep fear, "If we continue to allow the Undead Scourge to grow, then it is very likely that Gilneis, Riptide Castle, Kazmodan, Nomorigan, and even my Stormwind Kingdom will fall next." ”

Speaking of the further threat of the undead natural disaster, Dai Lin also hesitated: "Let me think about it again." ”

Varian talked to Daelin for a while before leaving, and instead of attending the officers' next banquet, he went to his room in Theramore to rest, and when he reached the door, the chamberlain whispered to him the news: Baron Thurberchel was waiting for him in the house.

During the few days of the trip, Claudia stayed by Gianna's side most of the time, so Varian, who hadn't gotten along with the girl for a few days, was in a good mood, and after seeing Claudia, he pulled the girl into his arms: "Why did you come here, I thought you would stay with Gianna tonight." ”

The girl enjoyed her lover's strong arms, and habitually buried her face in Varian's arms, and after a long time whispered: "Varian, His Highness is accompanying her father, I envy her a little, and I think that you are my closest man, so I came to you." ”

After hearing the girl's affection, Wari felt relieved, and had a little more pity, hugged the girl tightly and promised: "There is no need to envy others, I will give you happiness." ”

"I believe in you, I'm already feeling happy." The girl laughed.

"You're right, I feel it too." Varian laughed happily as well.

Dangdang!

A knock on the door interrupted the sweet two, and Varian went to open the door, only to find Adjutant Devon's face grim, and in his hand was a crimson magic letter representing urgency, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, the mage tower has just received an urgent military information. ”

Varian hurriedly opened the letter, and after a cursory reading of the contents, his face turned pale, and he said hatefully, "That damn stonemason. ”
