Chapter 20: Lordaeron

This is the Silver Pine Forest......

Varian looked up in the direction of the Gilneth Peninsula to the southwest, the Second Orc War had not yet begun, and the Wall of Greymane, which stretched in the southwest corner of the Silver Pine Forest and completely isolated most of the Kyrgyz Kingdom from the outside world, had not yet begun to be built.

King Jean Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilneys was an isolationist ruler who, in the original timeline, had rejected the request of Kings Lothar and Terenus to invite the Kingdom of Gilneys to join the Alliance.

Later, at the strong suggestion of his minister, Lord Vincent Godfrey, Jean reluctantly agreed to join the alliance and symbolically sent a small number of soldiers into battle.

However, after the end of the war, the alliance collected a large amount of money from Gilneth and other countries in order to establish an orc shelter for orc captives and a watchtower to monitor the Dark Gate, and the kingdom of Gilneth had nothing to gain on the division of the territory of the kingdom of Alterac, so Jean decisively withdrew from the alliance.

Not only that, but in order to prevent "the alliance from interfering with his own kingdom", King Jean finally decided to build a high wall to separate the outside world from his own kingdom, and even did not hesitate to abandon the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest, which originally belonged to the Kingdom of Gilneis, including the territory belonging to the Crowley family, the village of Burning Wood and Ambermere.

The entire Gilneth Peninsula is bordered by the sea, and a special kind of reef "bite reef" grows around the coastline, which not only restricts the development of maritime trade of the Kingdom of Gilneys, but also protects the coastline of Gilneys.

With the "Biting Reef" at sea and the Wall of Greymane on land, the entire kingdom of Gilneth was almost completely isolated from the rest of the kingdom, until the werewolf curse raged and the Forsaken invaded.

Varian withdrew his gaze and continued to nibble on the oat bread in his hand.

Khadgar followed his gaze and said, "That's where the royal city of Gilneth is located, and their king has a ...... personality Belch...... Rather stubborn ......"

Khadgar took a word, and continued: "So I'm afraid he doesn't believe that the so-called orc army can be so threatening, which is why Lothar and I decided to go directly to the royal city of Lordaeron to ask King Terenus for help, with the wisdom of this king, he will definitely form enough attention to those orcs." ”

Lothar added, "And only King Terenus has such a high prestige and appeal that he can bring together the kings of all human kingdoms. Only by joining forces can we deal with the coming orc army. ”

Varian nodded to understand that Jean Greymane would not have spent so much money and material resources to build the Greymane Wall if he weren't stubborn, and it would be better for a stubborn conservative like him to be persuaded by King Terenus.

As soon as they had finished eating, they set out on their way, and after four days of traveling day and night, the tall, elegant royal city of Lordaeron finally came into view.

"What a majestic and noble royal city." Lothar put her hand on her forehead and looked at Lordaeron, which sits on the northern shore of Lake Lordamere.

"That's true, but I think it would be nice if the climate was warmer there." Khadgar said that instead of looking at Lordaeron, he set his eyes in the direction of the southern shore of Lake Lordamyr.

Lothar asked curiously, "Where is it...... What is it? ”

In the distance, on the southern shore of Lake Lordamere, there was another city, but it was too far away for Lothar to see.

Khadgar said nostalgically, "That's Dalaran, the gathering place of the Genreto Masters, where my hometown is located......"

Khadgar had been living in Dalaran until he was sent by Kenrito to apprentice Medivan, and after all these years, he inevitably felt homesick.

"The Magic Kingdom of Dalaran? I've heard of this amazing city, and I've heard that it's full of towering mage towers and, of course, many knowledgeable archmages. "Varian hadn't just heard of Dalaran, he hadn't been there since he played games in his previous life, and his Hearthstone was bound to Dalaran's inn when he opened the Wrath of the Lich King.

It's just that at that time, Dalaran was already a city flying over the Northrend Crystal Song Forest, and all that was left of its original location was a deep crater and a purple shield.

"Dalaran is a beautiful city, and the gentle violet color often appears in my dreams......"

"Once you've defeated the orcs, you'll be able to return home." "But for now, we have to hurry up and get to Lordaeron first," Lothar said. ”

"That's right, you're right, it's not the time to go back......"

After a few men stood by the lake for a short time, Lothar said, "Let's go, arrive in Lordaeron before sunset, and we may spend the night in the city." ”

With that, he kicked his mount in the stomach with his heel, and the horse began to gallop.

"Driving~~~" Khadgar and Varian and the others followed, and after more than two hours, they finally arrived at the main gate of the royal city of Lordaeron.

There were several guards guarding the city gate, and when they saw Varian and his party coming, they immediately raised their shields, took up their weapons, and entered a state of alert.

A soldier in white armor stepped forward and shouted, "Please stop and tell me who you are!" ”

Lothar waved the crowd to stop, and he rolled over and dismounted, approaching the soldier and saying, "We are from the Stormwind Kingdom, and we have come to Lordaeron to ask King Terenus for help. ”

"Please later, my lord, I'll report it."

After a few moments, the captain of the guard, who was in charge of guarding the city gates, came over, saluted Lothar and said, "My lord, we have been informed by the town of Nanhai, and His Majesty has been informed of your plight. He has already arranged a lodging for you in the city, so please come with me. ”

Before Varian and the others left for Lordaeron, Mayor Mareb had already ordered Captain Marcus to send his men on horseback to Lordaeron as quickly as possible to inform Lothar of their situation and that of the Stormwind Kingdom, and also sent a report to Alex Barov, the lord of Southsea Town.

"Thank you very much." Lothar nodded in acknowledgment.

They rode through the city gate on horseback, and with the leader of the guards, they entered the most prosperous city in the north of the eastern continent.
