King Solas listened to what Arthas had said before, and he knew that the less people knew about something as shocking as the "Demon Invasion", the better. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Arthas used the Red Dragon Queen to cover up, and because the Red Dragon Queen has never been serious, even during the days in Riptide Castle, King Solas never had any opportunity to discuss the "Demon Legion" with the Red Dragon Queen, so Arthas's "knowledge" in this regard did not arouse King Soras's suspicions, he just felt that King Terenus, who was half a friend and half rival with him, had a smart heir, which also made him not easily ignore Arthas's words- Without this child, he and his Riptide Castle, and even the entire human alliance, could have been destroyed by the orcs in one fell swoop.
"I think we have something right now that can pique King Jean's interest." Arthas laughed and said, "If we tell him that the war is over, and for betraying the Alliance, Aiden Pernord will be put on public trial, and the realm of the Kingdom of Alterac will ......."
"It shall be temporarily annexed to the common property of the Union; And we need to have a high-level meeting to discuss what to do with this land? "King Terenus seems to understand what Arthas means.
"Exactly." "There is nothing unusual about the territory of the Kingdom of Alterac, but the importance of the Alterac Valley is self-evident. It is bordered by Lordaeron and Arathi Heights, if Jean does not attend such a meeting......"
"Then he won't get any benefit?" King Solas had a sudden realization.
If there is anything that these human kingdoms can gain from the fierce battle of the orcs on this occasion, it is the handling of the Alterac Kingdom.
The betrayal of Aiden Pernord and Adras Blackmore was a near-fatal blow to the Alliance; After crushing their plot, they naturally could no longer act as lords of their own territory.
Dunhold Castle had always been the territory of Lordaeron, and it would naturally have been taken over to the Minahill family; As for the kingdom of Alterac...... Although barren, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat.
The Kingdom of Stormwind is far away at the southern tip of the continent, and this territory does not mean anything to them; In the same way, the kingdom of Kurtilas is far away from the mainland, and instead of competing for this barren valley, Daillin Prodmore is clearly more interested in the Endless Sea.
The Alterac Valley is also one of the dividing lines between Lordaeron and the Arathi Highlands, and the Kingdom of Gilneys, which is also in the north of the continent, will also be interested in this land - even if it is difficult to obtain the final ownership, but with the character of Jean Greymane...... He will definitely not give up on fighting for the benefits of the Kingdom of Gilneys.
"Yes, that's it. I've written to tell Jean that if he hides behind the Silver Pines Forest any longer, the Alterac Valley will be ours, and he won't get a single one! King Solas laughed.
Arthas smiled and remained silent - there had been a lot of drama about the post-war kingdom of Alterac in the original stream of time.
The kingdoms of Stormgard, Lordaeron, and Gilneth all want to gain dominance over the kingdom of Alterac, but King Aiden's son Eliton Pernord was killed by Uther of the Knights of the Silver Hand in Broken Ridge, so what to do with this land may be different from the original time flow; But the only thing that is certain is that even the king of Solas in front of him should not give up his claim to sovereignty over this land - although the relationship between Lordaeron and Riptide Castle is very close now, but one yard is one yard, isn't it?
"Then I'll go back first." King Solas was thrilled to find a way to force Jean Greymane out of the kingdom of Gilne, and after a brief goodbye, he turned around and walked into the camp where the teleportation circle was set - Prince Danas did not come to see off his uncle because of military problems, but King Solas would not care about this, he should have been thinking about how to question and humiliate Gene Greymane.
Seeing that the conversation was over, Anduin Lothar and Wrynn, who were not far away, were also walking towards this side, followed by several core members of the Iron Horse Brotherhood who had just arrived—these people would return to Lordaeron with King Terenus and Arthas, to gather the Stormwind refugees scattered around King Lordaeron.
Some of these refugees may have become accustomed to life in Lordaeron, but many more should be more eager to return home. The distance from Lordaeron to Stormwind is a long way, and most of the refugees are dragged with their families and have difficulty moving.
And the sea route they used when they came was also in a state of "impassable" because the warships of the alliance have been destroyed, so Anduin Lothar has been frowning about how to get the refugees back to Stormwind as soon as possible and start rebuilding their hometown.
"Alsace...... When did you learn to use such a strategy? Watching Anduin Lothar and the others approaching from a distance, King Terenus muttered to himself.
"Huh? Father? What did you just say? Arthas didn't hear King Terenus clearly, and raised his head and asked.
"Nothing." King Terenus smiled and shook his head, nodded to Anduin Lothar, who had already arrived, and led Arthas into the tent behind him.
There were no candles or oil lamps lit in the tent, a faint crystal blue glow emanated from the magic circle on the ground, and several mages and apprentices from Dalaran were busy on the magic circle, Arthas knew that they had just sent off King Solas of Riptide Castle.
"Oh yes, father, I seem to have some things to do, and I can't go back to Lordaeron directly." Arthas suddenly remembered someone, or rather, ...... Family, he gently broke free of his father's hand, and then said.
"Something? What's up? King Terenus asked, surprised; At this time, Anduin Lothar and the others had already entered the tent, and when they heard Arthas's words, they all looked at Arthas.
"It......'s nothing," Arthas shook his head, indicating that it was not a big deal, and then turned to a mage who was standing by the magic circle and asked, "Your Excellency the mage, I heard that you reached Riptide Castle as fast as possible through the magic portal that connected Dunhold Castle, so I would like to ask about the portal there...... Can it still be used now? ”
