Chapter Eighty-Seven: Contradictions

Kael'thas Sunchaser seems to be dismissive of Aiden Pirenod's doubts. He sat down in his seat with www.biquge.info poise without moving, not even looking at Aiden, and introduced himself: "I am Kael'thas Sunstrider, a descendant of Darthrema, a prince of Quel'Salas, and one of the leaders of Dalaran. ”

On the surface, the faces of all the Terran leaders were not very good-looking, especially Aiden. Secondly, there is the king of the kingdom of Lordaeron, Terenus Minahir II, who borders the kingdom of Quel'Salas and has had many conflicts.

Aiden stood up angrily, the flesh on his face trembled, and roared at Prince Kael'thas and said, "You mean you have two votes?!" ”

Prince Kael'thas stood up gracefully when he arrived, he first pointed to his feet, the golden light in his eyes suddenly became bright, and then said, "It's not us Queldore who are asking for an alliance. ”

Before Aiden could speak again, Sir Lothar immediately became a peacemaker. He raised his hands, signaled the two parties to be calm, and said, "Then first of all, we must discuss a result, the number of votes." Dwarven King, do you have any good suggestions? ”

A verbal exchange changed Osmar's impression of Aiden greatly. This is because he can sense that although Aiden seems to be angry, he is actually not angry at all, and he is completely acting. It's just that Osmar couldn't guess for a while what his would-be father-in-law was planning to choose to take the lead at the beginning of the negotiations.

Osmar sat on one side with Gerbin Mekatok, and when Sir Lothar asked, he did not make up his own mind, but first whispered to Gerbin for his opinion: "What do you think, Gerbin?" ”

Gerbin's engineering thinking is extremely active, but he is still not good at political affairs, he raised his head and replied: "It seems that the human race has the right to speak, I can't see the specifics, you decide." ”

Osmar nodded, glanced at the six-member council of Aiden and Kenrito, and said in a deep voice, "One country, one vote." ”

A thick voice echoed in this granite chamber. But this short and powerful sentence caused a silence.

Sir Lothar stood in the middle of the hall, looked around at the kings and the archmages of Dalaran, and said, "Second." ”

Aiden asked again: "How are the three votes for absence calculated?" ”

Kael'thas chuckled and said indifferently, "Naturally, it is abstention, or exclusion from the alliance." ”

"It's not appropriate, Elven Prince." Terenus stepped down from his throne and dominated the tone of the talks, "The Seven Kingdoms of the Terrans are inherently one and closely connected, and Archibald and Solas are absent for a reason, not to disagree with the alliance. ”

Almost as soon as Terenus finished speaking, Aiden said his proposal: "Alterac and Gilneth have a history of marriage for generations, and they are the closest, and the vote that belongs to Archibald will naturally be handled by me." As for Riptide Castle, the Tolbaine family has always revered the descendants of the Great, and the ownership of Solas's vote undoubtedly belongs to Sir Lothar. ”

Osmar watched silently and did not speak. After hearing this, he understood Aiden's true purpose, and in order to achieve this goal, Aiden not only led the topic at first, patiently waited for the opinions of Osmar and Terenus, but also brought Sir Lothar together, which was simply "well-intentioned".

However, Osmar, Gerbin, and Kaelthas, who were most qualified to oppose this proposal, had not yet spoken out against it, and contradictions within the Terrans were exposed. I saw Dalein Prodmore sneer and scolded contemptuously: "In the face of the attack of the wolves, Archibald actually turned Gilneth into a sheepfold!" The Wall of Greymane is the biggest joke in Terran history! He's worthy of it!? ”

Aiden froze for a moment, and the opposition came from behind him, which he had never thought of anyway.

In the Council of the Six, Kael'thas didn't know whether it was intentional or sincere, and said, "Wonderful speech!" I am amazed by the fearlessness of the King of Kul Tiras! ”

In the face of Kael'thas's praise, Daylin chose to ignore it, he did not have a good impression of the elves. And Terenus didn't answer, Aiden didn't dare to answer, and even Sir Lothar didn't speak again.

As the time went on, the wall of Greymane, which stretched for dozens of miles across the mountain pass and was more than fifty meters high, became more and more spectacular, but it was also more and more disgraced in front of the foreigners!

When did the Terrans standing in the Eastern Kingdom, who had defeated the invincible Troll Empire, now make such a passive defensive posture, it was simply ridiculous!

After another period of dreary, the great magician Antonidas, seeing that the contradictions within the human race were really not suitable for the kings to give a plan, said in due course: "Gilneth abstains, and Lord Lothar will vote on behalf of Lord Lothar in Riptide Castle." ”

As soon as this proposal came out, the kings of the human race would not object, and even though Aiden was unwilling to get two votes, he still agreed. And the silence of Osmar, Gerbin, and Kael'thas naturally represents acquiescence.

However, the matter was not over, and Terenus made another suggestion: "As a direct descendant of Soladin the Great, Sir Lothar is not a king, but he still needs to be respected. ”

As soon as the words fell, it was Kael'thas who took the lead this time: "Queldore will always keep the covenant of the deceased king, and the descendants of Soladin the Great will always be an ally of Quel'Thalas." Even without this four-clan alliance talks, we would still have sent troops to the aid of Anduin Losa. ”

Although it was an unmistakable act of putting gold on his face, Kael'thas still won the approval of everyone present and not too much favor.

After some difficult deliberations, we finally reluctantly reached an agreement. But just as the deliberations were about to get on track, Osmar's deep voice rumbled again: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned the Stormwind Kingdom, with all due respect, has it been removed?" ”

It was only then that everyone's eyes turned to the non-existent Varian Wrynn, the half-grown man in attendance. Varian's gaze was moved to look at the Dwarf King, his eyes reddened.

After a moment of silence, the kings of the Terran Race naturally would not refuse this proposal to increase the voice of the Terran Race. And Kael'thas simply kept silent when he knew that the objection was invalid, but in fact he didn't care about the matter.

In the end, Sir Lothar will have three votes: himself, Riptide, and Varian, who will clearly support his godfather; The Kenrito Council of Dalaran counted only one vote; Prince Kael'thas barely had one and a half votes, because Crassus also belonged to the Council of the Six of Kenrito, and had been a councillor several generations ago, with great prestige; The kings of the Terrans each have one vote; And Osmar also counts as two votes, because Gerbin listens to Osmar all.

After everyone was seated again, Terenus, as the host, presided over, "Today's meeting is to call on the four races to form an alliance here! Lordaeron seconded the motion! ”

Dahlin was the first to respond: "Kurtilas seconded!" ”

Sir Lothar replied, "Seconded!" ”

Aiden replied unemotionally: "Alterac seconded!" ”

The six members of the Kenrito Council looked at each other, and Antonidas answered, "Dalaran seconded it!" ”

At this point, the sound suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Varian in unison again.

Varian's face flushed a little, and he almost roared in response, "On behalf of my deceased father, the Stormwind Kingdom seconds!" ”

By the time Varian had finished speaking, Osmar and Kael'thas seconded, leaving Gerbin to be the last, but his small voice, which sounded as if it were Aiden, was not emotional.

At this point, Terenus stood up, held back his excitement, and loudly announced, "Alliance, formed!" ”

In the council hall, although Terenus announced the formation of the Alliance, the atmosphere was still not high. After all, all of you here are kings and leaders, and when you should be steady, you will never make a sound.

And in the other huge room, the great nobles, dwarves, gnomes, and Queldores who watched the alliance talks of the four clans through magic broke out in a long series of cheers without hesitation! Especially those nobles who fled to Lordaeron and originally belonged to the Stormwind Kingdom, they were already crying with excitement at this moment!

After a few moments, Terenus cushioned the leaders present and continued, "The first official issue of the Allianceβ€”the threat of the Orcs!" Today, the Contracting Parties will agree on an offensive and defensive alliance agreement against the Orcs! This agreement is designed for the kingdoms to work together or defend themselves in wartime, and to act in unison! ”

In such cases, no objection is tacit acquiescence. The interests of countries must be contested for every inch of territory, and there will never be a situation in which the interests of their own countries are harmed but they remain silent.

Thus, Antonidas, on behalf of the Kenrito Council, and Kael'thas and Aiden, the three forces said almost in no particular order:

"Although Dalaran is called the City of Magic, one of the Seven Kingdoms, its essence is an academy! The establishment and mission of the Kenrito Council is not for war! The alliance and the dispatch of troops are completely different things! ”

"To what extent does this offensive and defensive alliance agreement need to be implemented? Who will direct the concerted action? ”

"My position remains the same, Alterac can contribute logistics materials, gold, food, weapons, and equipment, but he will never send troops!"

In the meeting hall, it instantly fell into a situation of endless arguments!

Terenus and Ser Lothar, trying to convince the Kenrito Council; Daillin looked down on Aiden's cowardice, and Aiden despised Dain's recklessness, and they began to sneer at each other; There is also Prince Kael'thas who shows Queldore's bottom line, and the Flame Blade Magister and a ranger army are all the assistance!

From within the Terran kingdom to between races, there are many contradictions.

Osmar watched the kings and leaders exchange words like swords, speechless to the extreme; Gerbin yawned even more boredly, wanting to go back to camp to continue his research on neuronal suppressor type 2; Varian, on the other hand, stood on the side of the hall like a child who had no one to care about, staring around in a daze.

"Gerbin." Oss covered his mouth with his hands and shouted quietly.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at the current situation, does it look like a three-hundred-year-old copper whisker, a brute hammer, and black iron?"

When Gerbin heard this, he observed it carefully for a while, but he shook his head and said, "I think the current situation is much more serious than then, what should we do?" ”

"Alas......" Oss sighed quietly and said helplessly, "I really don't want to be in the limelight. ”

Gerbin covered his mouth and snickered, then took off his goggles and took out a cloth to wipe it: "Then I have to polish my glasses and take a good look at the king's demeanor!" ”
