Familiar, but he still had some impression of the way he came, and with De Jong's unruly guidance, Arthas finally made it to the door of the council chamber, where the chief chamberlain, Kurban, was already waiting.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince Alsace, you are here. Two royal majesties and several mages were already inside. Kurbanke briefed Arthas on the situation as he helped the prince open the door to the council chamber.
"Hmm...... What the? Mage? Arthas walked absentmindedly into the council chamber, and waited until the door closed behind him before he suddenly realized what Kurbanke was talking about—mage? Where's the mage?
"Lord De Jong, let's stop there." Outside the door of the council chamber, Kurbanke said to De Jong.
"Yes, Lord Kurbanke." De Jong stood still, motioned for the palace guards who had followed him to disband, and then asked in a low voice, "What's going on inside?" ”
"What else can ......," Kurbanke pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, "Those 'lords' of Dalaran seem to be not good!" ”
As a loyal chamberlain to the House of Torbain, Kurbanke certainly had no good impression of the group of mages who had always refused to serve Riptide Castle, and he deliberately bit the word "Adult" very hard, and the meaning of sarcasm was self-evident.
However, Arthas, who was in the council chamber, felt this "bad coming" first-hand - from the moment he entered the council chamber, several white-bearded old men surrounded him, staring at him, oh no, it was the frost sorrow behind him, looking up and down, looking left and right......
"Antonidas ** Division...... What's going on? Arthas looked up in embarrassment and grumbled to the familiar leader of the Council of Kenrito, who was sitting at the table with his father.
"Please, don't be nervous, Prince Arthas. These mages are all respected old men in Dalaran, and I don't think they will behave out of the ordinary. Just hearing about freezing the Narrow Sea, even I couldn't help but want to ask this lady some magic questions. Antonidas replied with a smile.
Spare me...... Arthas sighed in his heart - no matter how "respectable" these mages were, what would become of them before they were interested in research, Arthas had already learned from Kel'thugad.
Fleeing from the group of mages with a dazed Frost Sorrow, Arthas came to the table and saluted his father, King Soras, and Master Antonidas before taking his seat and asked, "Master Antonidas, is Dalaran ready for this war?" ”
"Yes, Prince Arthas. Dalaran was ready, we mobilized all the battle mages we could mobilize, and all of them came to Fort Riptide; Khadgar** is leading them in setting up the teleportation circle, and when the circle is complete, we will set off across the Narrow Sea to join Ser Anduin Lothar's forces - but I seem to have heard that we are of little use because of your outstanding performance, Prince of Arthas? "Despite his advanced age, and even for King Terenus and King Solas, he is still witty and humorous, and likes to make jokes about Arthas.
"Uh...... Please don't say that, Antonidas ** Division. Arthas felt a little shy, "These are mainly the credit of Her Excellency the Red Dragon Queen. Oh yes, did the Crassus ** division also come this time? Does he need to meet his queen? ”
In the town of Southseas, Arthas already learned the true identity of the ** division of Crassus in the Dalaran Kenrito Council - a red dragon; It was also Crassus's insistence that made Uther and Antonidas** agree to Alsace's trip to Grimbaatar; I wonder what Mr. Red Dragon's expression will be when he sees his queen? Oh yes, I wonder if Crassus is the son of the Red Dragon Queen, is he the same as Valastaz? The seniority of this group of guys is really messed up.
Master Antonidas naturally couldn't see these cranky thoughts in Arthas's heart, and he sighed and replied, "Crassus...... His injuries still hadn't healed, so he stayed in Dalaran this time and didn't come over. Where is the Red Dragon Queen now? Can I meet her? ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Seeing the puzzled look in the eyes of Master Antonidas, Arthas could only express helplessness, "Your Excellency the Queen is sleeping, if you insist on requesting it, she will be upstairs in my room, you can go and see her by yourself." - Arthas didn't say a word - I don't want to see that fool again! Stupidity is contagious!
"Oh...... That's right...... That's it. Master Antonidas shook his head, although he was full of curiosity about the Queen, he didn't want to disturb the other party's sleep, not to mention that there were a lot of things on his side.
"Then, Your Majesty King Terenus, Your Majesty King Soras, my fellow mages and I are leaving for the time being." Master Antonidas** stood up and took his leave, "I will leave a few mages in Riptide Castle, and when the battle on Sir Anduin Lothar's side has a result, we will send the news back in time." ”
One of the serious consequences of this orc invasion is the destruction of the otherwise convenient communication between the various human cities. Before evacuating, the mages who stayed in Stormwind destroyed the portals in the Stormwind Kingdom, and Dalaran also unilaterally destroyed some portals connecting the southern part of the continent.
King Solas happily bids off Master Antonidas - no matter what the process is, Riptide Castle at least has its own portal - which has always been a problem for King Solas, especially after he knows that even small castles like Dunhold have magical teleportation arrays.
"How's that, Arthas, what did you say to that orc? Any useful information? After bidding farewell to Master Antonidas, King Terenus asked his son.
"Yes, my father, I got very important information." Arthas took a deep breath, and the expression on his face became extremely serious.
Infected by this atmosphere1, the expressions of King Terenus and King Solas, who had returned to his seat, also became solemn, and they wondered what terrible news Arthas had received from the orc's mouth.
"We all already know that these orcs are from another world—one we've never been to before." Arthas spoke—he was going to take this opportunity to tell his father, and the entire Alliance, something about the Burning Legion; If he could, Arthas hoped that humanity would be ready for the Burning Legion invasion from now on; It would be a worldwide apocalypse, and unless it was strong enough, it would be difficult for humanity to survive the catastrophe, even with the help of Frost Sorrow.
King Terenus nodded—Khadgar** had confirmed it, and Ser Anduin Lothar had even seen the massive structure that stood in what is now known as the Cursed Lands—the Dark Gate.
This is the name given to the building by Khadgar**, and it is through this portal that the orcs came to Azeroth from their world, so even if they take the Baladin Bay and destroy all the orcs, the mission of Anduin Lothar and his army is not over, and they will destroy the portal with the cooperation of the mages of Dalaran and completely cut off the connection with the orc world.
"But what we didn't know before was that the orcs weren't the only creatures in that world, they were just the advance party before a powerful force invaded; And incomparably evil and powerful?
