Soon after King Terenus met with Varian, Lothar, and the others, several knights set out from Lordaeron on fast horses and headed for Fort Riptide, Dalaran, and Gilneis.

They carried a letter written by King Terenus himself, with Varian's signature and a seal representing Stormwind.

Originally, Terenus wanted Varian to live in Lordaeron's palace, but Varian considered that he had to keep in touch with MI7 agents at all times, so it was a bit inconvenient to stay in the palace.

Therefore, Varian declined King Terenus's kindness and chose to return to the mansion with Lothar and the others.

Back at the residence, Lothar called out to Varian, "Wait a minute, Varian, I think we should have a good talk." ”

"Okay, Uncle Lothar, go to my room?"

Lothar patted Varian on the shoulder and joined him to his room.

The waiter at the mansion served them two cups of hot black tea and then stepped back and closed the door from the outside.

Lothar sat at the table, looked at Varian through the vapor rising from the top of the teacup, and whispered, "I thought it would be the best plan for you to live in Lordaeron's Palace, but your choice was beyond my expectations......"

Varian said slowly, "I just don't want to be alone in the palace like a child while the others are still fighting our enemies. After my father's death, it was my unshirkable responsibility to lead Stormwind. And a timid child cannot shoulder this responsibility. ”

"I'm glad you have such an awareness...... Lothar picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, "But do you really understand the cruelty of war?" ”

"I knew enough when the orcs breached Stormwind." Varian looked at Lothar calmly and said, "They brought slaughter and death, and with the blood of my subjects, I knew the cruelty of war. ”

"Even so, do you still want to go to war?"

"Yes, neither killing nor death is enough to scare me. We will fight for blood and tooth for tooth, defeat them on the battlefield and drive them out of our homeland. Varian said firmly.

"Defeat them? How can it be so easy......" Lothar shook his head and said, "You also know that the orcs are stronger than our soldiers, and even if we humans are all united, it is difficult to guarantee that we will be able to win this war." ”

"This is not just our human business, the orcs are brutal and bloodthirsty, they want to invade our entire world, can those dwarves and high elves stay out of it?"

"Dwarves? High Elves? But ......"

"Uncle Lothar, we may not be able to contact the dwarves for the time being, but the High Elves can be a great help to us, don't forget your identity and the ancient contract that has been passed down for thousands of years."

Varian, who has memories of his past life, wants to be able to drag both the dwarves and the High Elves into the water as soon as possible, anyway, Lothar's identity is not a secret to the heir of Wrynn, and he is not afraid that Lothar will suspect anything if he makes this suggestion.

"High Elves......" Lothar pondered, if the ancient, magic-savvy race could help them, then the chances of victory in the war seemed to increase a little more.

Anduin Lothar is a direct descendant of Soladin the Great, the founder of the Arathas Empire, and the only descendant of the noble Arathi bloodline.

The human empire was allied with the High Elves, who taught humans magic and humans helped them fight against the Amani trolls in the forest.

After the trolls were defeated by the coalition, the High Elves were so grateful to the Arathor Empire that they vowed to do everything they could to help Soladin or his descendants in their time of need.

Varian continued, "We can try to send a messenger to make contact with the High Elves first, after all, their territory is not close to Lordaeron, and it will take time to go back and forth. ”

"You have a lot of point, and we really need to act." Lothar nodded in agreement: "I hope they can keep their oaths......"

Lothar couldn't guarantee that the High Elves would follow that ancient contract to help him, but the High Elves could be a powerful help to the upcoming orc army, and Lothar would definitely do his best to fight for it.

Seeing that Lothar agreed, Varian hurriedly said: "Try it anyway, time waits for no one, so I will arrange for MI7 spies to contact them." ”

MI7 has the best Assassins, thieves and spies, but they are loyal only to the king of Stormwind. Without the king's command, even Lothar would not have been able to command them.

It's only fitting that MI7 would be able to arrange such a deal as dealing with the High Elves, and their spies will be able to contact the High Elves quickly and safely to deliver a message for Lothar's help.

……

After speaking with Lothar, Varian sat in peace and waited for the spies' reply and the arrival of the other kings.

During this time, Varian seized the time to upgrade his level and add some security to his future battlefields.

With Ciel's help, Varian quickly rose to level 15. He chose to go to the Flame Rift again, wanting to challenge the boss in the dungeon, and by the way, complete all the remaining tasks.

The second time they played this dungeon, those mobs were almost no threat to Varian, who had already been upgraded, and they made it all the way to the first boss, the Flame Caveman Chief Ogflint.

Ogflint has a two-handed weapon, so his attack speed is slow, but each attack is strong.

According to Ciel's previous advice, Varian kept the angle of his shield at all times, and spread out some of Ogflint's attack so that he would not have so much trouble parrying.

In addition to his normal attacks, Ogflint also casts the skill "Slash", which deals damage to multiple enemies in front of him.

It's a pity that Ogflint's opponents are only Varian and Ciel, and Ciel's is still far away from him, so this skill can only attack Varian alone, and it can't play its due role at all.

The two worked together to help Ciel attack with all his might whenever Varian was about to run out of his way, luring Ogflint away from Varian and giving him a chance to cast a spell of light or bind himself to heal.

Wait until Varian has recovered, then cast the "Hammer of Sanctions" to stun Ogflint and regain his hatred.
