Chapter 141: Alliance
"Congratulations on becoming the Supreme Commander of the Alliance, Lord Lothar."
In front of the great magical gate of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas met the man he had come to see this time, Anduin Lothar. As the last bloodline of the first kingdom of mankind, he was elected to the supreme command of the newly established alliance.
The last time he had seen Lothar was a year ago, when he and Kalia had just embarked on their journey.
Kael'thas sighed a little in his heart, and walked out of the strict elf team, and Sylvanas and Aurelia also followed him with a threatening expression.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Highness Kael'thas !"
Lothar, who had been waiting for a while on the other side, also smiled and greeted him in a friendly manner.
He already knew that the boy who soothed their fatigue that night was Kael'thas.
In fact, for a moment, he almost wanted to respond to Kael'thas with 'Congratulations on becoming the successor of Quel'Salas', but after realizing that this was not a friendly attitude, Lothar took the words back into his stomach.
And now, behind him was also a group of excellent human soldiers, looking at the elves with surprise and envy.
Whether it is weapons or temperament, they are far from being as good as each other.
Standing with Lothar were two older humans.
Kael'thas looked at the oldest priest among them, and rolled his eyes:
"Are you Archbishop Alonthos Fao?"
He asked almost certainly, and the latter smiled:
"It's me, Young Highness"
If you want to say which human being is the most respected by human beings in this world now, it is undoubtedly the old man in front of him.
The Archbishop of the Light, Alonthos Fao, is a noble priest who is revered by all human kingdoms, and his followers are spread across the Eastern Continent. Even the Silver Hand Paladin Organization, which has just been established, was initiated by this old man.
Moreover, several of the leaders of the Silver Hand, four of the original five paladins, were his disciples.
Kael'thas hid his surprise, then looked back at the middle-aged-looking mage who exuded great power.
"So, are you Lord Antonidas? I'm sorry I can't make it to Dalaran at the moment
Kael'thas said apologetically.
"It's okay, there's no rush after the war."
Antonidas, ruler of Dalaran and head of the Council of Six of Kenrito.
He was originally very unimpressed by this little guy who had escaped, but now he was also taken aback in his heart.
Because the boy in front of him is completely different from the naughty he imagined.
[Was it like this before?] Still]
Antonidas was a little puzzled.
Then the men got to know each other, and after the Lothars learned the identities of Sylvanas and Aurelia, their negotiations began.
This negotiation was initiated by Kael'thas, and humanity doesn't know what it is about.
"My father has promised to help you in your war."
Kael'thas was the first to speak, a formal promise that would never change, and it also made the humans on the other side breathe a sigh of relief.
"But"
He smiled slightly:
"Not now"
Lothar frowned and asked:
"When was that?"
[Does Quel'Salas want to wait until the war reaches the north? 】
It's no wonder he thinks so, the High Elves have always had little interest in warfare that doesn't involve them.
"When your team is assembled."
Kael'thas seemed to see what he was thinking, and said unhurriedly:
"As far as we know, there are many contradictions between your human nations, and now the alliance is also very difficult to form."
This made Lothar's face blush, and he couldn't refute it.
Indeed, after realizing that the attack of the orcs would be long before it was realized, each nation was trying to fight for its own interests and contain each other, resulting in a very unsmooth progress for the entire alliance.
And the most fundamental reason why Lothar became the supreme commander of the alliance was not because of his bloodline, but because he did not belong to any of the kingdoms that were now negotiating, and only when he was on the throne could all the kings be reassured.
"Our elves don't want to be involved in your intrigues, so we'll only join when you're successfully formed."
Kael'thas continued.
At this moment, the three leaders present understood what he meant.
It was a reasonable request, and now they were asking for it, so they quickly accepted it.
As long as the formation can be completed before the war, then everything is not a problem.
If there is a war and humanity is still intriguing, then no one else is to blame.
"Your request is reasonable, and I will get a few kings to agree."
Lothar and the others looked at each other and made up their minds.
"Thank you, then, as a personal thanks"
Kael'thas thanked him, then clapped his hands, and immediately an elf came up with a map.
"We elves won't waste time when you're building an army."
In front of several people in Lothar, he drew a circle around the Hinterland region on the map:
"This place, as the base of the northern trolls, the only area of territorial disputes, let me control it first"
As soon as the words fell, even Antonidas's face changed.
They were somewhat wary of Kael'thas movements.
But as far as the result is concerned, Hinterland is indeed a big problem, even if Kael'thas himself does not mention it, the humans must first pacify the area before they can fight the orc army head-on with peace of mind.
However, it is a pity that they may not have enough time to complete the formation of the alliance and the pacification of Hinterland, and the orcs will not allow them to do so.
It would be great if the elves could settle that place beforehand
Anyway, it's not a human land in the first place, so if there's a problem, just let the elves and the dwarves there discuss it themselves.
The three humans thought about it, and finally agreed.
And so the simple diplomacy came to an end, and the result was the confirmation of the elves' entry into the war, and the removal of the last nail in Kael'thas plan.
As the sun set, the human procession headed towards Stratholme.
"Lord Antonidas, what do you think of this Highness?"
In the silence, Lothar's voice rang out.
They met twice, but Kael'thas gave him a completely different feeling, so he wanted to hear what others had to say.
"From a human point of view, His Royal Highness Kael'thas is an excellent prince at his current age and deeds, but not too much."
Antonidas exclaimed, then furrowed his eyebrows:
"However, he is a high elf if you consider their culture as well as their long life, this highness"
"He's a monster genius!"
It is impossible to predict his future achievements.
Lothar was also a little speechless.
However, the old Alonsos Fao suddenly laughed:
"Why should you worry about it, you should be happy, allies with such potential"
The old man raised his head and looked at the gorgeous sunset in the sky, and sighed a little, as if he was saying to others and to himself:
"The person who can teach His Highness to display such a beautiful light will surely be a kind-hearted person."
"That way, that's enough!"
