Varian sat quietly in the royal court of Lordaeron's palace, looking at the other dignitaries who had attended this important meeting.

At this time, it has been nearly half a month since Varian last came here, and the status of the people who participated in the meeting in the royal court this time is even more noble than the last time.

Since the disintegration of the first early human empire, the Arasso Empire, the human power has been divided into seven kingdoms: Lordaeron, Dalaran, Gilneis, Stormgard, Alterac, Kurtilas, and the kingdom of Azeroth.

With Kurtilas alone in the mountains, the kingdom of Gilneth in isolation, the kingdom of Azeroth far to the south, and the leader of the city-state kingdom of Dalaran, the Council of the Mages Kenrito, who is only dedicated to the study of the knowledge in their extensive library and the awesome magical powers, it is almost impossible for the leaders of these human kingdoms to get together.

This time, King Terenus personally sent an invitation to the kings of various countries, and after receiving the letter, they immediately arranged their itinerary and set off for Lordaeron.

On the one hand, it is because King Terenus himself enjoys a high reputation in the entire human society, and on the other hand, because the events mentioned in his letter are really incredible, and if they are true, then it is indeed a great event for mankind.

Once all the leaders had arrived, King Terenus arranged a meeting of kings that could be considered the highest level of humanity.

Varian observed the congregation, and in the right row was Gene Greymane, King of the Kingdom of Gilneis, with gray hair and a thick gray beard, wearing a gray armor, and a burly and muscular body.

Next to Jean sat Daelyn Proudmoore, the leader of the kingdom of Kul Tiras, who was thin, tall, and dressed in a dark green naval uniform. Due to the perennial sea breeze, Dai Lin's skin is relatively dry and rough.

On the other side of Jean sat Aiden Perrynord, King of the Kingdom of Alterac, dressed in a decent gown, cautiously examining the other people attending the meeting, and occasionally his gaze fell on Varian.

Solas Torbain, ruler of the kingdom of Stormgard, sat to Aiden's left, tall and rugged-looking, glancing at Aiden beside him with disdain.

Sitting not far from Varian was the Archmage Antonidas, the leader of the Magical Kingdom of Dalaran and the head of the Council of Kenrito.

Antonidas was dressed in a lilac mage robe, a gold-trimmed mage hat, a long gray-white beard that hung down to his chest, and a golden staff in his hand.

In addition to these leaders of the human kingdom, there was another old man who was not under these people who was also invited by King Terenus to participate in this meeting, and he was the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, Alonthos Fao.

Archbishop Fao, whose hair and beard were gray, sat quietly, dressed in his plain moon-white linen robes, as peaceful as the Light in which he believed.

When everyone was seated, King Terenus on the throne clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then said, "Thank you very much for coming. ”

King Terenus's voice was calm and clear, and he first made a few brief opening remarks, and then he got down to business and talked about why the meeting was started.

"There is a very urgent and important matter that we all need to discuss, and I would like to ask Marshal Anduin Lothar from Stormwind City to introduce this matter to us."

Lothar stood up and said in a deep voice: "Distinguished Majesties the King, Archbishops, and Archmages, first of all, I would like to thank you for your willingness to listen to me. ”

Lothar then recounted to the crowd the destruction of his kingdom at the hands of the orcs, still wearing the dented and torn armor to enhance the credibility of his statement.

Finally, Lothar said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the armies of the orc tribes do not belong to our world, and they will not be satisfied with just storming Stormwind, they will definitely try to continue to wage war and occupy the entire world. ”

Everyone knew about the fall of Stormwind from Terenus's letter, but they were still a little shocked to hear Lothar's personal description, after all, they all knew that the kingdom of Azeroth was very powerful, and it was impossible to stop the invasion of the so-called "orc tribe".

"If they want to come here, do they have enough boats?" Admiral Dai Lin asked first.

Lothar shook his head and said, "I don't know, we took all the boats with us when we evacuated, and I don't know if they still have boats to transport their soldiers. ”

"In addition to the sea route, they can attack from land, but then they will have to defeat the dwarves in the snowy mountains first." Solas added.

"Hehe, then you Stormgard will be the first to face these orcs......" Aiden said predictively, having never had a good relationship with Torbain.

"Our soldiers at Fort Riptide are not like you soft-footed shrimp, they will crush any enemy who dares to offend our territory." Solas replied by thumping his chest.

"No, Your Majesty, the armies of the orc tribes will sweep through your territory, no matter how good your soldiers are." Lothar said solemnly to Soras.

His tone was full of sadness: "You haven't confronted them head-to-head, and you don't understand their power. Our soldiers are highly trained warriors, but they are like helpless old men and children in front of the tribe......"

Solas knew that his army, no matter how good it was, would not be much better than Stormwind's, so he couldn't contradict Lothar's words.

Aiden, who was next to him, was happy to see Solas deflated, and he asked, "So, are the orcs you mentioned able to communicate or communicate?" They're intelligent creatures, too, eh...... I mean, we don't necessarily have to rely on war to solve problems, can we negotiate with them? ”

"Negotiations?" Lothar replied with a sneer: "We sent many messengers, but only a few returned, and they were cut into pieces by the orcs and sent back......"

Aiden's face turned a little pale, he didn't expect the orcs to be so brutal.

Archbishop Fao said calmly: "Your Excellency Lothar, since we cannot avoid war through negotiations, what do you suggest?" ”
