In the Hall of the Phoenix, King Anastarian is receiving his returning child, Kael'thas Sunstrider, the legal heir of Quel'Thalas, who is currently on a journey around the world, which is why Kael'thas always stays in Dalaran.

That place had portals to the whole world, which greatly facilitated his travels.

Sylvanas had already returned from the battlefield after hearing the sound of the trumpet, and although the current situation was urgent, she still had reason to believe that as the future leader of the Phoenix Dynasty, Prince Kael'thas had the power to influence the course of the war.

Haduron Mingyi, Archmage Rothman, and the other members of the Silvermoon Council all sat in their seats, observing His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been away from home for nearly thirty years.

Kael'thas inherited Anastarian's elegant appearance, with fiery red eyebrows and blue eyes, he can make the impression of getting along well from the first meeting, he wears a red robe with the phoenix emblem on it, and holds in his hand the golden staff of Quel'Salas, which symbolizes the status of the prince, which will later be renamed the Sindore Golden Staff, that is a story for another time.

"Father, distinguished councillors and generals, I have heard of the calamity of my country, so I have brought back the good friends I have made during my travels to help!

Kael'thas stood up and stretched out his hand to the two robed guests sitting on the right side of the hall, and everyone in the hall also focused their eyes on these two guests with outstanding temperament.

"This one, this is the Archmage of the Flame and Life Lines from Dalaran, Mr. Crassus! He is my guide in Dalaran, a generous elder, a powerful magician!"

With Kael'thas introduced, the High Elf-like Crassus stood up, put his left hand on his chest, bowed slightly to the Sun King and the attendees, and then sat back in his chair.

But whether it is the Sun King or Sylvanas, they are people with extremely keen senses, and they can see at a glance that the appearance of this Mr. Crassus's High Elf is just an effect of transfiguration, that is to say, this Mr. Crassus should not be an elf, even... Not humanoid.

But they sane silently, and continued to listen to Kael'tham's introduction.

"This one is the alternate member of the Dalaran Kenrito Council, Archmage Ronin. ”

Unlike Crassus, Ronin had red hair and was wearing the robes of Master Dalaran, and after Kael'thas finished his introduction, Ronin also got up and bowed slightly to everyone in the room, and then sat down again.

"Welcome home again, but I'm sorry my child, you've seen the situation now, forgive me for not being able to entertain your friends. Even during the war, when the soldiers were in the city, King Anastarian still squeezed out a smile.

"I know very well what is going on, Father, I'm no longer a child!" Kael'thas was a little angry at his father's words.

He always treats himself as a child, but he is no longer young, and he has the ability and responsibility to take on the safety and glory of this country.

Then, after a short chat, the two talked about the front line of fierce fighting, those terrifying undead, and the precarious defensive front, and as they spoke, the topic of the two turned to Darkan.

"I really didn't expect that Darkan, as a hero of the Troll War and World War II, would also betray Quel'Thalas, and now the mage hunters can't find him at all, and if they can't get the special key in his hand, the defense rune can't be opened again!"

In front of his only son, the Sun King finally showed a touch of exhaustion, he rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and said to Kael'thas who already had a hint of kingly bearing: "This is also the reason why I let you come back, the Firewing Guard has been assembled, I will now hand over its command to you, I have only one request, my son, must block the invasion of the undead, find Darkan, reopen the defensive runes, and expel these guys from this land!"

"Quel'Salas's national conditions and geographical location mean that we can't sustain a war alone, but the latest information I have received is that the Knights of the Silver Hand are also taking care of themselves, and their leader, Uther Lightbringer, has just fallen, so now, we have to rely on ourselves!"

"Don't worry, Father, Mr. Crassus is the chief mage of the Red Dragon Legion, and with his help, I will soon be able to find the traitor's trace. ”

Kael'thas waved his hand to place a soundproof barrier before confiding the truth to the Sun King, "I swear that I will take Darkan's life with my own hands!" as punishment for his betrayal. ”

This news made the weather-hardened Anastarian also froze for a moment, he glanced at Crassus, who had gotten up and left with Ronin, and a smile appeared on his face, "Ah, a red dragon, it's hard to imagine that this legendary creature is still active in the world, you know, since the end of the era of our ancestors, we have rarely seen a dragon entering the world alone." ”

Kael'thas was also very confident when he talked about this friend: "Mr. Crassus came this time to study the existence of the unique creature of the undead, but as a price for him to help us find Darkan, after the war, Mr. Crassus wanted to enter the Sunwell to have a look, and I have agreed to his request. ”

The Sun King's eyes narrowed, and they quickly let go.

"Yes... As long as Quel'Thalas can survive this war, let alone enter the Well of the Sun, even if it is the well water of the Well of the Sun, I can give him some of it, but, my son, don't underestimate the Scourge Legion, we don't have much army left. ”

Hearing the old king's words, Kael'thas smiled, put the wine in his hand to his mouth, sipped it lightly, and a sharp light flashed in his soft eyes: "Don't worry, father, I have heard about the 'deeds' of those monsters before I came, I think... I have a way to cope. ”
