Before the sun had risen, the normallypeaceful and peaceful Elwyn Forest was immersed in the noise of horses' hooves. Leaders from all over the world, who had already traveled farther from Shining Gold, converged on the newly rebuilt Stormwind City. Half a year ago, they had just come to attend King Varian's coronation. However, for them today, their revisit has lost that joy and sacredness. No one wanted to admit that the orcs would pass through the Dark Gate again, but it did happen.

"Do you insist on wearing a piece of clothing? The meeting we are going to attend today is a very formal one. Aurelia said as she followed Rollin.

Rollin and Aurelia and the soldiers of the Overwatch had arrived in Shining Gold through the teleportation circle last night. After a night's rest, they prepared to head to Stormwind. Rollin sorted out his outfit from his mission in Silvermoon City and said, "This used to be the clothes that Mentor Naloras gave me. For me, this outfit has a special meaning. ”

Aurelia smiled and said, "In my opinion, it doesn't fit your current status as an archmage. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Luo Lin said indifferently: "What identity can be discussed, just keep a low profile." ”

Walking to the stables, Tulayan prepared sycophants for the soldiers and mages. When he walked to Rollin's position, Rollin took a horse and said, "One horse, we are enough." ”

Standing behind Rollin, Aurelia pinched Rollin's cloak, her cheeks crimson, and she bowed her head in the eyes of everyone. Tulayan smiled awkwardly and gave Rollin only the reins of a horse.

Rollin didn't care about everyone's eyes, within the scope of his thinking, the most important thing was that he and Aurelia could follow their own ideas. Why care about what others think.

"Thank you." Luo Lin said flatly.

Through the Elwyn Forest, Rollin made his way to Stormwind in the shade of tall trees.

Across the moat outside the city, Stormwind looked even more dazzling when it was rebuilt in the midst of the war. The sturdy exterior walls and dense and solid building structures seem to say to those and enemies who covet Stormwind: Stormwind will never fall.

Following behind the Sons of Lothar makes it much easier to travel through Stormwind. Tulayan and his entourage from Fort Watch went to the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind. Compared to the solemnity of Stormwind Fortress, the meeting was held here in a more formal way.

Inside the church, Rollin and Khadgar were seated with Aurelia. They sit in a place similar to an auditorium on the periphery of the round table. But everyone knows that none of the people who came to this meeting were spectators.

After taking his seat, Tulayan set his hands on the reception of the leaders of the countries who followed. In Stormwind, Tulayan has been active in many ways outside of the military. Truth be told, Turayan accepted all the duties of Sir Lothar, and he did it well enough. However, there is still one thing that Tulayan is missing, and that is the trust of the alliance.

"Dalaran will send that member of the Sky Council this time?" Rollin asked Khadgar.

Khadgar hadn't been to the Magic Kingdom since he had returned from Dalaran a year ago. But yesterday in the town of Shining Gold, Khadgar heard some news about Dalaran. He returned to Rollin and said: "If the news is accurate, there will be two councillors, President Antonidas and Crassus. ”

"It's good that the leader of Dalaran is here. Otherwise, in this meeting, Dalaran will become the target of public criticism. Rollin said.

After listening to Rollin's words, a layer of cold sweat oozed from Khadgar's back. He knew what Rollin meant, and the Dark Gate was to be handed over to Dalaran. But the Magic Kingdom has failed to deliver on their promises. That's why the Sky Council has sent two of its best Magisters here.

"If you say that, I'll probably be attacked by them in a while." Khadgar said with an innocent face.

"They don't know that you've done your best, they just want results, in other words, what they want, you didn't give them." Rollin continued.

Khadgar stroked the white beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't forget, in the Cathedral of Light, you are also a magician. ”

Rollin cleared his throat, looked at Aurelia and smiled, "Is it just my clothes?" I look more like a brilliant ranger now, don't I? ”

A sentence that counted as a joke made Khadgar laugh heartily. Aurelia also looked at Rollin with a smile, and she felt that this cold joke was very much in line with Rollin's character.

The leaders of the second group entered, and Rollin and Khadgar kept their mouths shut. They waited quietly for the meeting to begin.

Soon, King Terenus, Admiral Dalein, Lord Perinold, King Greymane, and other alliance leaders entered the Cathedral of Light together.

At the large round table, heads of state sat one after another. However, before the meeting began, the two representatives of Dalaran had not yet arrived.

Originally, the leaders of the alliance countries had deep grievances against them, and now they are still putting up a fight. Soon, the voices in the cathedral soon unified the direction of the wind.

Just as the cathedral's voices grew louder and louder, at the entrance of the cathedral, strong magical elements instantly converged. Kenrito's mark, a giant magic eye, appeared above the dome of the hall. Then, an elderly archmage from Antonidas and a young mage dressed in red behind him appeared in the center of the church.

As the presiding officer of the meeting, Tulayan asked awkwardly, "Your Excellency, you are almost late. ”

Antonidas' expression was serious, and he nodded and said, "I'm sorry for all of you, but when we were leaving Dalaran, our magician detected an extremely dangerous piece of information, and we did our urgent work before we dared to come to Stormwind. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier in warrior attire stood up and retorted, "Dangerous information, Lord Mage, do you think there is anything more dangerous than the orcs invading Azeroth again?" Oh, by the way, and I would like to remind you, Your Excellency, that the greatest threat to your magical kingdom in Azeroth has not yet been resolved. ”

Before the meeting began, some people couldn't hold back and took the lead in attacking Dalaran.

Antonidas maintained his image of wisdom and modesty, and he sat down with Crassus. He said calmly: "The matter of the Dark Gate is the dereliction of our Dalaran. However, this is the one we are going to discuss today, so I invite the soldier to take a seat, and we will start the meeting as soon as possible. ”

Tulayan hurriedly took over, he nodded to the soldiers outside the door, and then said, "Everyone, be quiet, the meeting will begin immediately." ”

Under the gaze of the crowd, the young king walked in from outside the cathedral. Varian Ureon entered the cathedral, accompanied by Alonsos and his pupil Benitadis.

The young king did not take his seat, he stood in front of the chief of the round table. With a calm and calm countenance, he will deal with the leaders of the alliance countries.

"It's a pleasure for you to be here in the middle of a city that was once devastated by war. Many times I, as the leader here, have remembered what we had gained, or lost, in the war against the orcs. Home, hometown, property, life, these we have all paid. In the end, however, we won the war. As soon as the young king spoke, the atmosphere in the room became solemn.

For Varian, he had never been fond of these political games, but Sir Lothar had told him that he had to learn and do them.

The country was ruined, and Wari was safe. As a king, he had to be as patient with war as he was with politics.

"The dark door is open again, and I'm glad we now have the Alliance, such an impregnable organization. Although there are also contradictions and estrangements in the alliance. But that doesn't mean we've lost the opportunity to come together. I'm sure we can defeat the orcs once more, no matter what the cost! With a steady gaze, the young king's conversation made Terenus the first to applaud.

The old king admired the current Varian, and he became very good.

To be able to stand still in front of so many scheming rulers, and to make an exciting speech. This surprised Rollin as well.

"How old is Varian?" Rollin asked Khadgar.

Khadgar pondered for a moment and said, "Eighteen years old, a young and distinguished king. ”

"That's right." Rollin nodded appreciatively.

After Variand's speech, the meeting began to discuss specific matters: troops, food, weapons, and battle routes.

Such a cumbersome thing seems quite chaotic, and it is completely impossible to satisfy everyone.

Therefore, the meeting must elect a representative to solve the problems in a unified manner.

The son of Lothar, Tulayan was the most suitable candidate.

However, the countries of the Alliance are not under the control of Lordaeron and Stormwind, and different opinions remain.

Even though the Son of Lothar captured Orgrimmar alive during the Second Orc War, this does not mean that he also has the cohesion and unparalleled combat ability of Sir Lothar.

Still discussing, two hours later. Rollin, in a drowsy state, heard the final vote.

Support Tulayan, this is the most suitable person.

Thankfully, Tulayan received more than half of the votes. After Lothar, Tulayan once again became the commander-in-chief of the Alliance.

After the negotiation of one thing, the people turned their fingers back to Dalaran. The first question for Dalaran is why it is late today.

Crassus, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he got up and replied, "Today, our magician has found the shadow of the Black Dragon Clan around the kingdom. These dragons seem to covet the relics of Dalaran, and they pose a threat to us. ”

"Threats? You mean to say that it's not just the red dragon that attacked us, but now the dragon in a different color is also planning to attack us? Voices from outside the round table retorted.

Hearing this, Rollin raised his hand to speak.

Crassus glanced at Rollin, and he frowned and nodded.

"Khadgar and I did research at the Dark Gates of the Cursed Lands, where the energy rift is expanding. However, it is completely impossible to unilaterally open the door of darkness. In the world of Azeroth, there must be creatures and energies to respond to the orc world's teleportation ritual. To put it simply, it is impossible to do it alone. It is possible that these black dragons are another helper of the orcs. Rollin said.

Crassus stared into Rollin's eyes. In Rollin's eyes, he couldn't get any answers. On the surface, they are empty and empty, but in reality, these eyes reveal unfathomable vision and knowledge.

"Yes, Dalaran fears that this is what happens." Crassus said.

"But that's your Dalaran problem!" Another unpleasant voice rang out.

Rollin stroked his chin, he looked at the soldier who had just spoken, and said, "Soldier, now is solving the problem, not finding fault." If you have a problem with Dalaran, you can take your shield and sword to Alterac and find this magical castle. Of course, don't tell me you don't know the way. ”

It wasn't the first time Rollin had heard such difficult words from a magician. For such a person, there is no need to be polite to him.

Varian made a gesture of please and said to Rollin, "Your Excellency, please continue with your speech. ”

"From a mage's point of view, what we need to do is try to maintain the energy rift in the Dark Gate. Organize the continued invasion of the orc army. Of course, in addition to these things, what Dalaran has to do is to protect your holy relics. It may be an important object for orcs to open the dark door. Rollin said succinctly.

Through his knowledge of history, Rollin knew the three artifacts needed to open the Dark Gate: the Book of Medivan, the Scepter of Sargeras, and the Magical Eye of Dalaran. ”

Now that the Scepter of Sargeras is in his hands, Rollin is somewhat unconcerned about a major invasion of Azeroth by the orc army. Of course, it is not ruled out that Nesario and Tyrone Bloodseeker have another way to replace the Staff of Sargeras.

"Extra tasks, such as fending off orc invasions, are left to the military."

After Rollin's speech, Terenus calmly asked, "This is not a long-term solution, we in the world of Azeroth should not live in the shadow of an orc invasion. We need a complete plan to eradicate the orc threat once and for all! ”

Khadgar stood up and said, "As Rollin just said, the opening of the Dark Gate requires orcs to perform a teleportation ritual. If we can kill this orc completely, we can solve this threat. ”

"Through the Dark Gate? Go to the world of the orcs. "Isn't this mage crazy!

The meeting boiled over in Khadgar's speech, they couldn't even completely protect their own world, let alone enter the orc's territory through the dark portal! (To be continued.) )
