Early the next morning, the reception officials arrived at Varian's residence and greeted them at the palace of Lordaeron to meet King Terenus Minehir.

Varian, Khadgar, and Lothar followed the host's guide through the palace gates to a wide courtyard.

It is like an outdoor garden, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and there is a small fountain in the center of the courtyard, and a beautiful statue stands in the middle of the fountain, constantly spraying water outward.

There are several small pavilions on the edge of the courtyard where King Terenus and his subjects celebrate during festivals.

Varian and the others walked along the road to the end of the courtyard and to the gate of the royal court.

The gates of the royal court were already open, and two rows of royal guards armed with long-handled weapons stood neatly in the doorway.

The royal guards were dressed in silver-white heavy armor and wore a Lordaeron robe with a blue double-headed eagle on a white background.

Varian and the others walked into the royal court, a solemn and elegant hall with several thick stone columns scattered around it, supporting a high curved dome.

Warm sunlight shines through the glass of the dome, making the hall appear spacious and bright.

High in the walls around the hall, several recessed terraces are hidden, each with two sharpshooters armed with crossbows.

These marksmen have an attack range that covers the entire royal court, and if any ill-intentioned person tries to disadvantage the king, they will immediately be sniped by them.

At the far end of the hall is a pedestal with concentric circular staircases, on which is the throne of the kingdom of Lordaeron.

The throne is carved from a single block of marble, polished smooth and flat, and radiates a majestic glow in the sunlight.

On the wall behind the throne hangs the emblem of Lordaeron, which is characterized by two crossed swords and a vertical warhammer, covered with a shield trimmed with gold.

Above the emblem hangs the flag of the Kingdom of Lordaeron with a blueprint on a white background, consisting of the abstract letters "LD" and four sharp swords.

Sitting on the throne is the king of Lordaeron, Terenus Minahir.

He was tall and wore a spiky crown with a slight gray hair in his blond hair.

Varian and the others walked to the bottom of the round platform and stood still, Terenus looked at them with a smile on his face, and said, "Guests from afar, please tell us who you are. ”

Lothar, the leader, bowed and said, "Salute you, Your Majesty. My name is Anduin Lothar, and I was the marshal of the kingdom of Azeroth. Next to me is my companion Khadgar, a Kenrito mage from Dalaran. ”

Master Khadgar's ceremonial salute bowed to Terenus, who nodded to him.

Lothar then turned sideways so that Tyrenus could see Varian behind him, and continued, "And this is His Royal Highness Prince Varian Wrynn, the sole heir of the kingdom of Azeroth. ”

King Terenus stood up from his throne, slowly walked to the round platform, and bowed slightly to Varian, "Good day, Your Highness Varian, welcome to Lordaeron. ”

Terenus believed that Varian, as the heir to a kingdom, was almost equal in status to himself, so he took the initiative to greet him.

"Good day, Your Majesty, thank you very much for meeting us." Varian bowed in response, his court education as a child was still in his memory, so Varian would not be timid on such an occasion.

"I heard that you came to me because of the urgency and importance?" Terenus asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are in a difficult situation and need your help." Varian replied.

"Looks like we need to talk about it separately."

"Go down first." Terenus waved his hand to the ministers standing not far away, and in a few moments, only the guards and some high-ranking nobles and important ministers remained in the entire royal court.

Lothar spoke, "Our kingdom has been brutally invaded by the enemy, His Majesty King Ryan was assassinated, and the royal capital of Stormwind was breached by the enemy, so we have traveled thousands of miles to come here to ask for help. ”

"Huh??" The ministers and nobles were a little shocked, and some of them accidentally exclaimed, if what Lothar said was true, then the breach of the capital of a human kingdom was indeed a serious matter.

Terenus had already heard from the messenger sent by Southsea Town about this, so he was not too surprised, and he said to Varian, "Varian, I can call you that, right?" ”

Varian nodded, and Terenus said in a heavy tone, "I am also saddened by the death of your father, Ryan is a great king, and we have always been good friends. I've been to Stormwind, it's a beautiful and fortified city, what kind of being can destroy such a fortified city? ”

"It's the orcs, strong and brutal, and outnumbered, that they have flooded my kingdom like a tide of darkness." Varian replied.

"Orcs?" Everyone present showed puzzled expressions.

"That's right, it's an orc." Khadgar explained, "They are not humans, they are a new race. As far as I know, they don't belong to our world, but came here through a portal in the Dark Swamp. They are about as tall as humans, with green skin and reddish eyes, and are athletic and bloodthirsty and warlike. I've seen them on the battlefield, and an average orc can take on at least two human warriors. ”

The ministers and nobles whispered below, and although it sounded a little bizarre, what Khadgar said as the mage of Dalaran was convincing.

"Thank you for your explanation, Your Excellency." Terenus said, "We've never heard of or seen anything like it, but I believe in you. ”

"Thank you very much for your trust." Lothar said, "Your Majesty, I don't think the orcs will be satisfied with just attacking Stormwind, they will gather their troops to march here at any time, and we should prepare early to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes." ”

"Orcs......" Terenus mused.

Varian looked at Terenus's turquoise eyes, sharp and wise, and he was confident that he would recognize the threat of the orcs, just as he had done in the original timeline.

"Maybe your concerns are justified, and this matter concerns us as a whole." Terenus decided: "I will gather the kings of the other kingdoms and we will discuss the countermeasures. ”
