Then he straightened his face and said, "But guys, are you too optimistic about the outcome of this war?" ”

When Arthas stood up, everyone was curious about what he wanted to say, and everyone who knew Arthas knew that this precocious "little devil" would definitely be able to speak amazingly - and he did, and as soon as he spoke, he was not at all polite.

"Mr. Khadgar, Miss Aurelia just asked about the portal, but I don't think you have the right understanding of it. If we can all open portals to the world of orcs, then who can guarantee that these guys — and I mean the orcs who stayed in that world and didn't fight this war — won't make a comeback? ”

"Prince Arthas, you mean ......" Prince Danas frowned, as if he understood what Arthas meant.

"That's right, I don't think this group of bloody fellows will be content with this defeat; I don't know why the orcs' portals were closed, but I think when the orcs who stayed in the other world and didn't come realized the failure of their kind, then ...... There's a good chance they'll reopen the portal, and we'll probably face an even bigger crisis – so I'd like to remind you that the war isn't over, and it's not time to rebuild in peace! Alsace spoke his mind.

"Seconded. The Prince of Arthas was right, there was indeed a possibility that the orcs would make a comeback. Archmage Antonidas was the first to express his opinion, "I think we need to interrogate the captured orc chief a little more, and even use some special means - we still don't know enough about these enemies, especially for their worlds. ”

Arthas nodded to the archmage, and then returned to his seat - all of you here are the leaders of the Alliance, you don't need to talk too much, you just need to steer their minds in the right direction, and they will understand what they need to do.

"I'll just say, if you want to eradicate the grass, you should attack the world of these guys and wipe them out." Aurelia finally understood that Arthas was still leaning towards her side, and she regained some vitality and began to suggest.

"I'm against it." Uther of the Knights of the Silver Hand spoke, "There is no evidence that the orcs in that world are eyeing our world; What if these invaders we just defeated are not representative of that world? What if there were other races in that world besides orcs? More importantly, how do we distinguish between our enemies and our allies in that world? Moreover, I can't accept the act of killing all the orcs, and I think that at least the old and weak women and children should be given a way to live. ”

"Pedantic!" Aurelia retorted loudly, "There was no sign before the orcs invaded, but these murderers killed without blinking; Do you think there will be merciful ones among them? How much more do you leave behind the evil seeds of the orcs, and then let them grow up to be stained with the blood of my relatives again? ”

Uther kept silent—he felt it was foolish to argue with the current Aurelia.

However, Arthas's words just now added a shadow to the hearts of everyone present—indeed, it is very likely that the orcs will launch the next wave of invasion, and the when, place, and scale of that invasion will be unknown to humans; The orcs have at least human traitors like Aiden Pernord and Adras Blackmore to provide them with information, yet the humans know nothing about that world.

"We don't know much about orcs, which makes us too passive." Prince Danas spoke.

"When I get back, I will immediately intensify the interrogation of that orc captive, Archmage Antonidas, please send a mage to help—it would be better if you could provide some special methods of extracting confessions; That orc must have a lot of secrets in his head, watch me dig them all up! King Solas said menacingly.

"I will. While I don't know if those spells work against orcs, we do have some spells that will help with interrogation. Archmage Antonidas replied - it was a matter of survival for humanity, but there was no care if the orc would become a fool or something.

"I ...... I think there's another person who can help us, even though she's not human. Anduin Lothar began.

"Who?" Even Magni Copperbeard was getting nervous at Arthas's words, and the king of Ironforge didn't want war to happen again - who was Anduin Lothar's "not human" guy? If it was a dwarf, Magni would have personally come out to "her" to learn about the orcs.

"Remember the female orc I first revealed to you? Her name is Garona. Anduin Lothar glanced at Master Khadgar, whose face was clouded from the moment he first began to speak.

Anduin Lothar knew that the relationship between Master Khadgar and Galona was not ordinary, but at this point, Anduin Lothar felt that it was still important and personal affairs were about to be left behind - Khadgar was reluctant to mention Garona, but was Anduin Lothar willing to do it himself? Every time he thought of the name, the image of his best friend and monarch Ryan Wrynn's tragic death came to mind.

"Garona, as you know, is an orc spy and an assassin who assassinated my lord Ryan Ureon. But she's also the only female orc I've ever seen, I don't know if she's dead or what, but after that, I've never seen her, and maybe she's still hiding somewhere in this world. I'd like to have her wanted by the Alliance, and if we can catch her, we'll learn a lot about orcs - because she's the first lingua franca I've ever seen. Anduin Lothar suggested.

"Yes, I'll sign a wanted warrant when I get to Lordaeron." King Terenus nodded—although it was unlikely, not entirely impossible, that the orc had made it to Lordaeron, for in Anduin Lothar's previous narrative, the orc's appearance and form looked more like a human than an orc.

Arthas noticed Khadgar's strange behavior—the old man, who had always been kind in appearance, could not hide the tremor of his facial muscles; His body trembled, as if something terrible had happened.

"Khadgar, what's wrong with you?" Archmage Antonidas whispered to his companions - when Khadgar reached Dadaran, his vast knowledge impressed more and more mages, and Archmage Antonidas was one of them, and he even felt that Khadgar's strength and character were enough to enter the Kenrito Council.

"It's fine." Khadgar mage squeezed two words out between his teeth - judging by his performance, it was clearly not fine.

It was only in this situation that Archmage Antonidas realized that the colleague in front of him, who had the same white beard and wrinkled face as himself, was not a bad old man, and he still had the emotional fluctuations and enthusiasm of young people in his heart.

"In addition to these, I propose to strengthen the military forces here." Archbishop Alonthos Fao, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke, "I don't think it's for nothing that the orcs chose this as the base point of the portal. If, as Khadgar said before, the time and space here are very unstable, then it is likely that the orcs will also choose this place as a breakthrough if they want to launch a second invasion. ”

"Seconded." Prince Danas said, as a commander who might stay here in the future, he was particularly concerned about the defense here, "The defense here has to not only face the invasion of demons, but also prevent the orcs from reopening the portal. I think the current military power is still insufficient, but absolutely
