?

Although slightly immature and a little trembling, this was the first time that Varian Ureon had spoken in the presence of His Majesty the King. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"What?"

King Solas asked, puzzled.

"We abstain. Stormwind doesn't want to get involved in the fight for the Alterac Valley, and has no interest in it. ”

Varian said, standing up.

This must have been taught to him by Anduin Lothar—Arthas guessed—but he knew that sooner or later his companion would become a great king, as was confirmed by the original stream of time.

"I also abstained. Kurtilas only cares about the sea routes, and I have little interest in land affairs. ”

Naturally, it was Daelyn Prodmoor, the lord of the kingdom of Kul Tiras, who stood behind him with his eldest son, Drake Prodmore, who had been staring at Arthas and the Frost Sorrow behind him since Arthas came in.

There's nothing Arthas can do - just see, who turned himself into a Death Knight?

The sudden abstention of the kingdoms of Azeroth and Kul Tiras stunned Jean Greymane and King Solas, and they lost interest in fighting in an instant.

All eyes were on King Terenus - everyone knew that the ultimate fate of the Alterac Valley would be decided by His Majesty.

Of the five eligible to vote, Varian Ureon and Dalein Prodmore abstained, while King Solas and Jean Greymane will undoubtedly cast their own votes.

The result would be a one-to-one draw, with King Terenus holding the last decisive chip.

"I agree to vote. But I don't think either of you have a very good plan, and I want to propose a new one. ”

King Terenus spoke.

A new solution? Everyone in the room was shocked.

It is clear that King Soras's proposal was favorable to both the kingdoms of Lordaeron and Stormgard, while Jean Greymane's proposal excluded both the kingdoms of Lordaeron and Rapidsburg.

Just vote for King Solas and King Terenus will have half of the Alterac Valley without much effort, and as for Jean Greymane, his opinion will be insignificant.

However, King Terenus did not agree with King Soras's proposal...... So, is he ...... Not satisfied with half of the Alterac Valley?

Surprise flashed in Jean Greyman's eyes.

Looking at King Solas on the other side with the same consternation on his face as he was, Jean Greymane felt that he understood King Terenus's thoughts.

It was clear that the lord of Lordaeron intended to monopolize the Alterac Valley—just like himself.

But it was not bad, thought Jean Greymane, that the vote would have been extremely disadvantageous to himself, for it was said that the kingdoms of Lordaeron and Stormgard had recently become closer, and the war had deepened their friendship.

But any friendship is in vain when it comes to profit—and Jean Greymane would love to see King Terenus' greed muddy the waters so that he could reap the greater good.

King Solas expected that King Terenus would accede to his request, just as the friendship between the two countries had forged during the war.

However, when it came to facing King Terenus, King Solas had a little more patience - he knew his old rival and friend well, and he knew that King Terenus was not a greedy man.

"I think I should have mentioned in my letter to you that the Red Dragons have made an alliance with us, and their queen is now a guest in my palace."

King Terenus said.

"I know that."

Jean Greymane nodded, which Tyrenus mentioned in his letter, and Gene had his own sources of information.

When he first got the news, Jean smashed one of his favorite decorative vases to vent his anger.

In the beginning, the kingdoms of the Alliance, with the exception of the somewhat childish kingdom of Alterac and the maritime kingdom of Kurtiras, were all about the same strength.

Gradually, however, the Lordaeron Kingdom grew stronger and stronger thanks to the rich hills of Hillsbrad, while the expansion of the Gilneth Kingdom was completely hindered by the Endless Sea and the territory of the Lordaeron Kingdom.

This is also the reason why Jean waged war against the kingdom of Lordaeron after his coronation.

Jean had always thought that he had a chance to defeat the powerful neighbor of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, so it was easy to imagine how bad his mood was when he learned that the Red Dragon had formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

But Jean didn't quite understand what the Red Dragon had to do with the Alterac Valley, and he didn't know why King Terenus brought it up at this time.

-- It's not just for the sake of showing off!

"Her Excellency may be in Lordaeron for a long time, and of course I personally welcome that, but ...... The amount of food that Her Excellency has eaten is really a bit ...... I can't afford it. ”

King Terenus said solemnly.

If it weren't for the high status and status of all the people here, Arthas felt that they were going crazy; Even so, in the current study, there is an uproar, and there is only that noise.

What did your father want to say? - Arthas knew that King Terenus would not say such meaningless words for no reason, but he really did not understand what his father wanted to do.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Jean Greymane almost squeezed the words out between his teeth—he felt that King Terenus was here to make trouble.

"So, the plan I propose is that all the territories of the Kingdom of Alterac will be taken into the possession of the Alliance. What do you think of the taxes and output there to pay for the daily expenses of Her Excellency the Red Dragon Queen? ”

King Terenus spoke his plan.

"Are you serious?"

Jean Greymane felt that something was wrong with his ears - or King Terenus's brain was broken.

"Of course it's a joke!"

King Terenus said with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

King Solas led the crack.

Soon, even Archmage Antonidas and the others burst into laughter—apparently, King Terenus's joke was successful.

"Ah...... Ahh ”

Far away in the gardens of Lordaeron's palace, the Red Dragon Queen sneezed violently, her clear saliva filling the table.

"Uh......h Caught a cold......"

The Red Dragon Queen muttered to herself, then poured herself a warm cup of black tea.

"When will the food be delivered?"

Looking at the empty cake plate in front of her, the Red Dragon Queen held her cheeks and began to be in a daze.

Jean Greymane's face flushed—everyone around him was laughing, but he thought King Terenus was entertaining him.

"Is that what you're proposing?"

Jean said through gritted teeth.

"That's right. Of course, about Her Excellency the Queen's appetite, that is just a joke. ”

King Terenus said with a smile.

"I've seen Her Majesty's appetite...... She had been living in Fort Rapids for a month, and she had almost exhausted me - of course, we were already poor in the Arathi Heights. ”

King Solas also joked.

"I can still afford Her Excellency's expenses...... But with regard to the Overwatch, the cost there is not a small amount. ”

King Terenus said.

"So you're going to ......"

King Solas had understood what King Terenus meant.

"Hmm. The Alterac Valley may be barren, but it is still a small product. I'm going to reclaim the wasteland there and move some people there. From now on, the production there will be shared by the Alliance, and then used as a regular income to support the expenses of the establishment of the Watchtower. ”

King Terenus said.

Then, when the Watchtower is built, the proceeds can be used to subsidize the soldiers stationed there, as well as other military expenses...... Of course, what?
