Chapter 49: The Birth of an Empire (7)
The Kingdom of Lordaeron, a powerful human kingdom with a population of nearly 300 million and a majority of human races, is located around the Tirisfal Woodland, which is known as the "most fertile land" on the Eastern Kingdom continent.
After the appearance of the Dark Gate and the large-scale invasion of the Orcs of the Horde, most of the human soldiers and mid-to-lower-ranking officers in the Alliance Army came from this powerful human kingdom.
At that time, Lordaeron was the main supporter and leader of the Alliance, and even in the history of the Messiah, this alliance would be called the "Lordaeron Human Alliance" by later generations.
The moon of Eluni had risen in the sky for a long time, and night had covered the land.
But now in the middle of the night in the royal palace in the center of Lordaeron's capital, soft magic lamps illuminate it as bright as day.
"How long is the Horde's army from us?"
The ruler of the throne, Térenus Minahir, who was far from being proud after the victory over the Alliance, asked the courtiers standing on either side of him with a tired look.
"Your Majesty, according to the information from our outpost closest to the Alterac Mountains."
A kingdom general, dressed in a knight's armor in a half-body, stepped forward from the right and reported to his sovereign.
"With the speed at which the tribal army they detected marched into the periphery of Lorentan City, it would take no more than 15 days at most!"
Truth be told, the roads in the Alterac Mountains are indeed geographically a shortcut to the capital of Lordaeron.
But, after all, it is the distance between countries, and on this huge planet, if you really want to walk on two legs, it will take months for normal people to say the least!
"So fast!"
King Terenus looked in shock at the men who had reported to him.
The Kingdom General nodded solemnly, and then added to his sovereign.
"Yes, my majesty, according to our intelligence, the tribe has received support from a group of two-headed ogre spellcasters somewhere."
"Let every warrior in their army be blessed with the secondary acceleration technique of the wind system, so they can maintain such a fast march."
At this moment, except for the generals on both sides of the kingdom, the rest of the noble ministers heard this, and they no longer saw the calm expressions they had just seen, and they exchanged their heads in a panic.
There was a buzz in the hall, making King Terenus's face look worse and worse.
"Bang!"
The monarch in his prime slapped the handle of the throne fiercely.
"Panic what!"
As the leader of the kingdom for many years, King Terenus was unrivaled in prestige, and the entire palace immediately fell silent.
"The thousand-year-old defensive circle of Lordaeron City is not so easy to be broken by orcs."
After seeing his courtiers quiet, King Terenus pressed the button on the side of the throne, and in an instant, the magnificent magic power extended outward from his throne, and endless elemental fluctuations poured from the void towards the huge city, and one after another purple and blue alternating volleys of protective circles firmly guarded the city.
Powerful magic fluctuations and elemental fluctuations deter the four wilds, this is the Lordaeron Capital Protection Circle, this thousand-year-old country, the most powerful kingdom in the history of mankind!
Although the Lordaeron Capital Defensive Array was not as good as the Great Shield of the Eternal Song Forest in High Elf Silver Moon City, nor was it as good as the Thousand Towers Defense Spell Matrix in Dalaran, it was still second only to the first two, and it was the third largest and powerful urban defense array in the entire Eastern Kingdom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, inform the armies of your realm to gather in the city of Lordaeron!"
With a strong confidence, King Terenus regained his indifferent expression and calmly ordered his subordinates.
"I have sent a message to the monarch of Silvermoon City asking for help, and His Majesty the Sunseeker has agreed to my request, and will let their high-level mage group come to support as soon as possible."
"In addition, we need to hold back the orc army in this city, and wait for the main force of the alliance led by Sir Lothar to attack from behind the horde."
"Then, the inside and the outside should be combined and these tribes will be severely beaten!"
Unlike the Storm Kingdom, which has been carving out wastelands at the southern end of the Eastern Kingdom's continent and fighting incessantly, although Lordaeron is strong, it has been peaceful for many years after all.
When a huge magical protective array large enough to cover the sky appeared in front of these noble ministers with huge elemental fluctuations, they quickly recovered their composure from their panic.
The powerful city protection circle and the imminent reinforcements of the High Elves, coupled with the counterattack of the main force of the alliance from behind, quickly made these noble ministers who were the elite of the kingdom reflect that they are far from defeat, and they have not tasted the possibility of victory!
In the prime of his power, Lordaeron, these loyal noble ministers of King Terenus, have regained the courage and flesh to fight!
Kneeling respectfully in front of King Terenus, they said in unison.
"Yes, my majesty!"
······
It was only after the ministers had left the palace hall that King Terenus let out a long sigh and pulled out again the letter hidden in his cuff, which Lothar had written to him himself a day earlier.
The news of the sudden arrival of the orc army prevented him from mentioning in front of everyone that the son of Anduin Lothar was preparing to establish a state.
At this time, when everyone is united to resist the incoming orcs with all their might, there must be no other turmoil.
Once the news of the founding of the Holy Arathas is leaked on a large scale, although I know that it will make some nobles who only know about scheming come up with something!
But the trouble is, this can't be ignored, this is a major event in the human world after all!
"Karen Lothar, and ······ Aratho"
After muttering these two names for a long time, King Terenus seemed to have thought of something that made the wise monarch's eyes light up.
From the mezzanine on the side of the throne, he skillfully took out a pen and a parchment scroll, wrote a letter with a brush, and then sighed on the Minethil family coat of arms ring in his right hand, and printed the letter under its signature.
"Laldo."
When he was done, King Terenus shouted.
An elegant man dressed in a ceremonial robe, the Minister of Lordaeron's Palace, commonly known as the Butler of the Royal Family, appeared behind the king, caressing his chest and saluting respectfully.
As King Terenus's most trusted confidant, he is one of the very few people in the kingdom who is aware of Karen's imminent establishment of the kingdom of "Holy Alaso".
"Take my orders, find Count Lockra, go to Dalaran and take my daughter, and take a trip to Stormwind."
He renamed the capital of the New Kingdom, Araso, as Stormwind, and then handed the letter to his cronies, commanding.
"Pass this letter to the young man who is about to become the new king!"
Hearing King Terenus's order, Lardo, who had managed the affairs of the palace for many years, nodded knowingly, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he stroked his chest and saluted again.
"Follow your will, my majesty!"
Immediately, his body turned into a shadow and dissipated into the palace······
——————————————————
The capital of the Kingdom of Quel'Salas, with a history of more than 2,800 years, is the core of Silvermoon City, a great magical city.
Gorgeous carvings and brilliant pigments paint every corner of the palace of the Tower of the Sunwrath, where the royal family of the Sunseeker resides, and under the light of the magic lamp, this vast palace exudes an incomparable, dreamlike splendor.
At this moment, in the council hall, the largest building outside the palace, the majestic and noble Majesty Anastarian Sunstrider was at the top, and below were the councillors of the kingdom who sat in a circle.
The more than 200 powerful people in these High Elf races all exude suffocating magic fluctuations, and almost half of them are Silver Hero-level great magicians, showing the extreme strength of the High Elf Kingdom at this time!
This huge palace is full of neat and tidy seats, and it can be seen that something important is now being discussed.
"Your Majesty, Distinguished Councillors, the war on the front line is very urgent, and I need to ······"
A tall female High Elf with long silky white hair suddenly opened the door of the council, and said hurriedly under the surprised eyes of all the High Elves inside.
"Winlessa, our dear Ranger General, the youngest daughter of the three Windranger sisters."
A councillor who was in the left hand of His Majesty the Sunrunner stood up anxiously and interrupted the youngest of the three Windranger sisters. From the same Windranger family emblem on his chest, it can be seen that he seems to be the elder of Winlessa.
"We all know that the main force of the orcs has left for the Alterac Mountains, and the king of Lorendam has sent a message for help."
"For the rest, those beastly trolls don't have to worry, the crisis in Silvermoon City has been temporarily lifted."
"Some of the Kingdom's high-ranking mages, including us councillors, need to work with Your Majesty to control the Sunwell Reaction Circle in Silvermoon City, and some need to travel to Lordaeron to support those stupid humans."
He then gave a quick explanation to the kingdom's youngest Ranger General.
"The creation of a new nation by the Son of Lothar, the commander of the Alliance, is no small matter even for us High Elves."
"We need you to lead an envoy to Stormwind, no, New Arazor, to find out what this force is doing."
"Including, how did they suddenly appear!"
"Now, do you have any comments?"
Seeing hundreds of High Elf Councillors, looking at her with His Majesty on the throne, Winlessa felt that she was three points shorter in an instant.
My parents are right, the current war has indeed passed the most dangerous period, but why should this diplomatic task be given to oneself? Hey, don't you have two sisters who are more mature than yourself?
"Okay!"
The straight, pointy ears moved, and Winlessa finally relented, and she said helplessly to the standing councilor.
"My uncle, I'm here to ask who else is going with me."
The high-level of the High Elf Kingdom in the real world is far less corrupt and complex than many of the Messiah's previous lives, because the kingdom itself is extremely strong and rich, and the rich material foundation makes the interests of the high-level of the kingdom entangled, not as many people imagine.
It's just that they have been strong and rich for too long, and the pride and stubbornness that everyone in this kingdom has cultivated over the long years are their biggest shortcomings at present.
"My child, don't worry."
His Majesty, the Sunseeker at the top, looked at the scene in front of him with a smile and tolerance, and only the younger generation of these kingdoms could bring a little fun to his long life.
"Kael'thas will also be going to that city, and I hope you will have a good time with him."
His Majesty the Sunstrider nodded to the Councillor of the Windranger family below, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous, and then said to Winlessa with a smile.
