"Don't get excited, Thorbain. ”

In the face of the excited Lord of Stormgard, Terenus had no choice but to persuade him, after all, this guy now has tens of thousands of male soldiers, "Except for the ownership of Alterac, we can discuss the rest." ”

"No, my opinion is the opposite, dear Your Majesty Terenus. Solas Thorbain didn't give an inch in his words, and his loud voice covered the entire hall, "Everything else can be easily solved, even the two bastards Perrynord and Greymane can be at your disposal, but the ownership of Alterac must be in my hands!"

Faced with the pressing and fierce rhetoric of Torbain, Terenus felt a deep headache...

He knew in his heart what would happen if he couldn't meet Tolbaine's request!

Above the main hall, all the royal guards of Lordaeron were sent down by Terenus, and only two guards were on duty at the entrance of the hall. Because the gate was locked, they could only hear fierce arguments, but without the king's orders, they could only stand in place with their halberds.

In the hall, only Thorbein and Terenus participated in the meeting.

Daelyn Prodmore (King Curatis) did not show up due to geographical reasons, Jean Greymayne (King Gilneis) renounced joining the Alliance when Terenus was formed, Antonidas (leader of Dalaran) was too busy to get out of the way, and King Ryan Ureon of Stormwind had been assassinated a few months earlier, and his son Varian Urion was absent due to his young age to participate in state discussions.

In the end, Perinod, the lord of Alterac, has long been placed under house arrest by Terenus in the capital of Alterac, awaiting trial.

Therefore, although this meeting is about the future fate of the alliance, in fact, the key point is the political discussion between the two kings present, after all, the kingdom of Stormwind has fallen, and the only two who have a say in the eastern kingdom are Lordaeron and Kuratis.

"So, you won't accept any other conditions except for Alterac?"

"Yes!"

Tolbairn's tone was determined.

"And what if I don't agree?" Tyrenus said coldly, his eyes glinting.

He didn't want to provoke a dreadnought dispute, after all, the entire empire needed too much time to adjust after this major battle. But if Tolbain's ambition was so obvious, if he had not been restrained and weakly allowed the other party to make rude demands, then the disaster he would have brought would have been more terrible than that of the invaders!

"If His Majesty Terenus does not agree, then I will fulfill my promise to lead Curatis to announce his withdrawal from the Alliance, and will no longer be under the leadership of Lordaeron. ”

As a matter of fact, Stormgard, as a descendant of the Arathso Empire, was supposed to dominate the alliance, but since the rise of Lordaeron, it has become the favored place of all pilgrims and traders. In Tolbain's view, this is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse.

Torbain was tough, he hadn't shed his uniform before he arrived, not even the double-plate axe on his back.

Syllable!

"Alright, Thorbain!"

Terenus slapped the table and stood up directly, his eyes looked directly at Torbane, and there was still anger on his face, "I can't imagine that the cruel war has just ended, and the people have only struggled out of their suffering, and desire has already corroded your heart. If you feel that you have worked hard in this orc war, then please return to your territory with your troops, we no longer need selfish allies like you!"

An enraged Terenus pointed his finger at Torbane, which was very rude in royal etiquette. But at this time, Terenus couldn't care about anything anymore, he didn't expect that he had always misseen Torbane, and he didn't expect that as soon as the war ended, he only thought about dividing the fruits of victory, and didn't think about the overall situation of the alliance at all.

Terenus was disappointed, and this disappointment turned to hatred...

"So, is this your choice? Terrenus?"

This time, Tol Bain didn't even have a salutation.

On the plains of Lordaeron, nearly 100,000 elite soldiers were eyeing him, and he expected that Terenus would not dare to do anything to him here.

"Do I still have any choice?"

Although Terenus was angry, he couldn't do anything about Torbane, he knew very well that even here he could kill Torbane with the help of the Guards, and then what?

"May you have made the right choice, Solas Tolbairn!" Tyrenus sat back down, his tone tinged with tiredness and helplessness, "I hope your maverick will not bring disaster to your country." ”

"You can rest assured, my majesty. ”

Thorbane smiled, his words revealing great confidence, "Without your 'protection', maybe Stormgard will usher in a new fate, this is also possible, isn't it?"

Tolbain deliberately hit the word 'asylum', apparently very unhappy with the military pressure that Lordaeron had been exerting on him some time ago. This time, Stormgard, replenished by tens of thousands of elite soldiers, will once again stand on top of the continent and revive the glory of the Arathas Empire.

Solas Tolbain was convinced of this, and what if Alterac was given to Lordaeron as a trophy?

"I hope so, Thorbain. Terenus sneered, clattering the handle of the crystal chair.

I thought that although the man in front of me was short-tempered, his political sense of smell was okay, but now I found out that he and Perinord were simply good.

In the face of great temptation, a person's temperament and wisdom can be tested.

And it turns out that the Tolbain he thinks highly of is just a fool who is carried away by interests!

"So be it, in a little time I will send soldiers to Alterac, and I hope that His Majesty Thorbain will cooperate. Terenus's tone was impatient, and he was desperate to end the meeting.

"Of course, my dear majesty. ”

"Well, that's the end of it, I'm going to rest. ”

"As you wish!"

Solas Tolbairn arched his hand, took two steps back, and turned directly out of the main hall.

The moment he opened the door, there were already dozens of royal guards waiting at the entrance of the main hall, but under the signal of Terenus's eyes, they did not make a move, but gave way to a passage and let Torbain go...

In the main hall, Terenus sat on the crystal chair with a bit of a sullen voice, staring blankly at the water glass on the table in front of him.

In this way, the human alliance, which was already fragile and relied on foreign invasions to share the same hatred and reach a united front, gave birth to a crack...
