Chapter 25 Formal Membership in the Alliance
After Antonidas sent Jiang Weihan out of the Kenrito Council room, he was going to show them around Dalaran, but his servant brought a message: His Royal Highness the Prince of Lordaeron had teleported here, saying that he had something important to discuss with Jiang Weihan.
The two glanced at each other, when they left, Terenus had just rejected Jiang Weihan, and now he had sent Arthas in a hurry, so things must have changed.
Realizing this, they canceled their original plan and rushed back to the Mage Tower of the ** Division.
"Great, you're finally here!" Arthas, who was anxiously pacing back and forth in the living room, saw the three men enter, and immediately greeted them without regard for etiquette.
"What happened, Your Highness?" Antonidas asked.
With a grim look on his face, Arthas quickly explained the plague that had taken place in Stratholme.
"Father asked me to invite you to Lordaeron, we are willing to apologize for the previous faux pas, but please save those innocent people." The prince's tone was almost pleading, the first time he had spoken to someone in his adult voice.
"Don't worry, we won't sit idly by." Jiang Weihan comforted Arthas, and then took a preventive shot first, "But it must be noted that we don't have a cure for the plague now." ”
Antonidas said on the side: "No, that's not the most important thing. Now we are facing a threat that has never happened before. What Lordaeron needs now is guiding advice and someone who understands the threat of natural disasters. I think you're up to the task. ”
"Time is running out, so let's go!"
The division nodded, and launched the group teleportation again, teleporting several people to the royal city of Lordaeron.
It was already afternoon, and a group of ministers who were at a loss for the plague had gathered in the throne room. Stratholme sends griffon knights every two hours to deliver the news, and they have already received a third piece of bad news: two out of ten people in Stratholme have been infected, and more than half of them need to be quarantined for observation, but the number of troops is simply not enough. There were also some people in the city with ulterior motives who instigated trouble, which made the garrison anxious. In his report, the commander said that if more than half of the people were infected, then probably the city would fall. In order to prevent more people from being infected, Da Sohan asked the kingdom not to send reinforcements to the city until a solution was found, which would likely increase the number of infected people unnecessarily.
King Terenus was in a state of flux, and the ministers who had been in the hall had not yet made an insightful opinion. Some people have suggested sending more reinforcements, others have preferred to leave Stratholme to fend for himself, and there are even those who have gone so far as to set a fire to set the whole of Stratholme on fire and remove all hidden dangers - this grandstanding madman has been set out by the king's guards.
To be conservative, the king sent a small group of observers to check the real situation there, and now he had to wait for their reply.
At this time, the imperial guards outside the hall suddenly shouted: "Dalaran ** division Antonidas, Valoran commander Jiang Weihan and Prince Alsace have arrived!" ”
Terenus perked up like a straw. He waved all the ministers out of the room, then left the throne and walked briskly down the steps towards the door.
He first grabbed Antonidas's hand and said, "Old friend, thank you for your assistance to us in times of crisis!" Then he turned to Jiang Weihan, and for the first time put this excessively young ruler on a completely equal footing with himself, he bowed deeply: "I want to apologize for my previous ignorance and faux pas, Jiang, the ruler from Valoran, I am extremely ashamed that you can come back here, and I admire your heart." No wonder you get so many heroes and even mythical angels to follow. I harbor too much prejudice and I have to examine myself and apologize to you! ”
"Don't say that, King Terenus, I have always admired your kindness and forgiveness. As a human being, how can I bear to see good people suffer unwarranted natural disasters? Jiang Weihan hurriedly helped the old king up. Although he knew in his heart that the king's apology had some meaning to show him, as the old king taught Alsace: This is the government.
Arthas looked at his elderly father and began to understand the word a little.
Once seated, Terenus said, "Shortly after you left, a wizard who could turn into a raven came here to warn us. But I was rude enough to let the soldiers drive him away. Is he the Prophet Britchard you mentioned earlier? ”
Jiang Weihan immediately knew from Terenus's description that it was Medivan, but this Guardian seemed to appear a little earlier? However, on second thought, Kel'thugad's exposure was several months ahead of schedule, and now that the conspiracy of the Scourge has surfaced, the Lich King's plan will naturally be advanced, so it is not surprising that the Guardian Medivan appeared early.
Under the image of the butterfly effect, every qiē that occurs on this timeline begins to gradually deviate from its original trajectory.
"No, it's not, but it's a prophet. And a prophet of Azeroth. You've all heard his name. Jiang Weihan thought to himself that although Medivan didn't report his name, he shouldn't mind that others knew his identity, "He's Medivan." ”
Antonidas frowned, "Isn't he dead?" Khadgar sued me and they killed him with their own hands. ”
"His mother, Egwene the Guardian, resurrected him. Now he is his true self and is beginning to fulfill his duties as guardian. ”
Terenus thought of what Medivan said about "the tide of darkness is coming again, and the continent is on the brink of war", "the only hope is to go to Kalimdor", "staying will only ruin this place with me", and so on, and couldn't help but ask in horror: "So what he said is true?" ”
Is it true?
Jiang Weihan also didn't know. Because the world is already different.
He replied truthfully: "That will be confirmed in time." But according to the current state of affairs, yes. ”
"The Scourge has been planning for a long time, and now that they have the means to destroy humanity and expand themselves, all they need is the right time; The Lich King of Northrend has also secretly amassed enough power to be killed not so lightly; What's more, they are really just pawns of the Burning Legion, and the real disaster comes from the Burning Legion, and to be honest, with the current strength of the human race, there is no way to resist their leader, Akmund the Polluter. To put it bluntly, all of us tied up one piece is not enough for him to kill. ”
The crowd seemed to be listening to the book of heaven, and they could not imagine that there would be such a powerful being. Kyle next to Jiang Weihan snorted dissatisfiedly. If her strength is fully restored, she is confident that she can fight Akmund!
Terenus felt the world spin for a while, and asked in vain, "Is there no other way but to leave?" ”
Jiang Weihan looked at the helpless old king and the young prince beside him, and muttered, "It's not completely impossible. Then he began to move out of Blizzard's father: "In the timeline that the Prophet saw, Akmund was summoned because the Scourge had obtained a very powerful magic item-" He looked at the ** master: "The Book of Medivan hidden in Dalaran!" ”
Antonidas' white eyebrows jumped: "So if we destroy the Book of Medivan, will we be able to prevent Akmund from being summoned?" ”
"Chances are, I don't know much about its power. It's said to be an artifact that can break through the diaphragms of different planes to summon otherworldly creatures, and I'm not sure if there's anything else that can replace it. ”
The teacher laughed bitterly at himself: "If the Book of Medivan is taken away, then Dalaran must be destroyed." ”
Jiang Weihan was silent.
Terenus sat down on his throne and asked in a dejected state, "So what do we do now?" Calling on the people to go to Kalimdor? ”
Jiang Weihan said: "I think we can make two preparations, while sending a fleet across the endless sea to Kalimdor to find a suitable place to live, and make the safest route." On the other hand, they are trying their best to curb the development of the Scourge forces, first finding Kel'thugad and researching ways to contain the plague, and the Northern Expedition to eliminate the Lich King at its roots. If the foundation of the natural disaster does not exist, then no matter how strong Akmund is, there is no way to come to this world. ”
"Lordaeron is my home country, and we don't have the capacity to transport three million people across the sea to an unfamiliar environment. We can't afford to give up on this place unless we have to. And that continent is not necessarily safe. "Father, I think we should reunite the Alliance and prepare for war with all our might, and mobilize a large force to destroy the Lich King in Northrend and solve this problem once and for all!" ”
Immediately after the meeting, Terenus sent emissaries to the nations to discuss the alliance. Admiral Dalin, the Lord of Kurtiras, was at Lordaeron at this time, and he immediately agreed to the alliance's plan, and Antonidas joined on behalf of Dalaran. Later, Terenus invited Valoran, represented by Jiang Weihan, to join the alliance as the former lord of the alliance, and then Jiang Weihan also expressed his willingness to fight for the alliance for the first time.
When Terenus learned that Dalaran was going to transfer ownership of Tarunmere to Valoran, he immediately realized that he had a means to win them over, and promised to hand over ownership of Dunhold Castle to Jiang Weihan as well.
The castle was previously breached by Thrall and the orcs, and is now largely in ruins, but its territory is larger than that of Tarummir. The largest orc prisoner of war camp was no longer able to perform its duties, and Terenus gave it to Jiang Weihan as a favor, and he was not distressed.
In the room arranged by the king, Jiang Weihan said: "It's really unexpected, now there are only three people in the whole Valoran, counting me, and there are actually two connected territories first." ”
"It seems that your idea of going to Hinterland to climb the technology farming and the violent army flow cannot be realized." Kyle, who is always rigid and strict, also rarely makes jokes.
