Khadgar saw that most of the kings were whispering to their lieutenants and men, and the suspicion still on their faces showed that they still did not understand what a dangerous question was before them.

He sighed and took a step forward: "Honorable Majesties the King. ”

His voice managed to attract everyone's attention: "Although I am not the leader of Dalaran, I know and have personally experienced the assistance of Lord Antonidas and the Archmage, and the threat of the tribe is not only the threat of the Stormwind Kingdom, or even the threat of Dalaran. ”

"I believe that His Majesty Terenus can testify to this. ”

Seeing that everyone had seen it, Minechil nodded.

"If they're so dangerous, why don't the wizards of Dalaran deal with them?" Greymane asked, "Why don't you use your spells to solve this threat?"

"I said, we can't do it. Khadgar was blunt and helpless, "Because those orcs also have their own spells, unlike the arcane, those spells are evil and powerful. At the same time, their casters far outnumbered Dalaran's troops. ”

"Even, my teacher, the guardian of Azeroth, Medivan, was engulfed in the darkness of this war. Spells alone can't defeat them, which is why I'm here to join Sir Lothar and ask for your help. ”

Lothar noticed that Khadgar did not mention the specifics of Medivan's fall, and he was pleased with this small detail. This is not the right place to reveal too many brutal truths.

"I'm feeling weird right now. Perionold's words were a little vague and seemed to be deliberate, and he continued, "The fact that a stranger comes to our land is closely related to our existence? ”

He faced Lothar with an apologetic smile, but the latter did not appreciate it, and Perrynold's repeated raising of the banner of reason, morality, and autonomy to attack the veracity of the facts he had expounded was too infuriating.

"Forgive me for the fact that my next words may step on your wounds, sir. Ignoring the anger in the other man's eyes, Perinor continued in a high-minded manner, "I know that your kingdom has been destroyed, your king has died, and your prince is only a child, and you cannot rely on what little strength you have left to achieve revenge. ”

Although it was a bit sharp, Perynold's words made a thought that was unfavorable to Lothar quietly come to the kings' minds.

"We are grateful that you have brought information about these threats, but you have repeatedly repeated what we need to do and that we must join forces...... Just ask. Perionod set his eyes on the kings, "Is this a request, or is it a persecution?"

The scene was cold for a while, and seeing that everyone was silent because of his words, the curvature of the corners of Perinold's mouth was fleeting: "Even if we accept your proposal and unite together." I'm sorry, but I didn't see anyone other than you and the few guards outside the door, and the loss of the country means you can't provide strategic support. ”

"So what else can you add to the collective?" Perionod's tone became more and more scathing, "except, of course, your own superb fighting skills. ”

Lothar's mouth opened, anger making him eager to retort, but he was interrupted again. Surprisingly, it was Terenus who interrupted his conversation.

"Enough, I won't let my guests be insulted. The ruler of Lordaeron showed the might of the strongest kingdom, "He brought us these news in the midst of the dire situation of his own people, showing us the glory of him and his country!"

"Of course I agree with that......" Perrynord nodded wisely and bowed slightly to Lothar in apology, but it is unknown if he meant it sincerely.

"Besides, you mistakenly think he's on his own. As if he hadn't seen it, Terenus continued, "Until Varian Uryon leaves, he will be my honored guest, and I have personally decided to support him in rebuilding his kingdom. ”

This is amazing news, and despite Perinold's premise, Terenus still expressed his affirmation. In other words, he is giving almost gratuitously without asking for anything in return from the Stormwind Kingdom.

At the same time, this is a warning to the other kings that Lothar and Varian are not for nothing, they have the support of the most powerful human kingdom in this world, Lordaeron!

"Sir Lothar also brought a lot of people. "No one else was given a chance to consult," Terenus continued, "including some soldiers who had experienced brutal warfare, and whose numbers were of little significance in the face of the threat we were about to face, but whose experience in fighting the Horde was invaluable to us. ”

"He has many more people scattered throughout what is now the Kingdom of Stormwind, and they have been fighting against the Horde. At the call of their generals, they can bounce back and give us extra support. Terenus has gone to great lengths to raise Lothar's stature, "Anduin Lothar is an experienced commander and master tactician, and I have a lot of respect for his personal abilities. ”

At this point, he finally paused, and glanced at Lothar as if asking for advice, until the latter nodded and uttered a shocking fact: "Finally, it would be very wrong to think of him as a stranger who has nothing to do with the land. ”

"Although Lothar himself rarely sets foot on this land, he has a very close connection with us. ”

"He is the heir of the Araso bloodline, the noble descendant of Soladin the Great!"

"In this meeting, he is in the same capacity to talk about these issues as we do. ”

Everyone's eyes widened, and even Perinord, who was-for-tat at first, showed a look of shock.

Two thousand years ago, he ruled the country and established the first human empire, Alatho, although Arathor eventually split into the current Seven Kingdoms, but both the Great Emperor and his kingdom are supreme in the hearts of all human beings.

To give two simple examples, the founding general of the Arathor Empire, Lordaun, led 500 warriors to block the path of the Amani trolls in the troll war of the High Elves, and in one fell swoop dragged the main enemy army to buy Soladin time to retreat.

Although neither he nor his warriors survived, the current kingdom of Lordaeron was named in his honor.

Another of Soladin's fierce generals, Ignaeus, won countless legendary exploits in countless battles with trolls, large and small, and was given the surname Torbain by Soladin, which means troll slayer. That's right, it's the ancestor of Solas Torbairn at Riptide Castle now!

To put it simply, if Lothar's identity is true, even if he threatens to rebuild the Araso Empire, then whoever dares to oppose the Seven Kingdoms will be able to label you as treason in minutes. He is a true imperial bloodline, and everyone here is just a warlord.

And it came from the mouth of Terenus, would the king of Lordaeron lie about it?

The answer is obvious. Because of this, some people are already worried about the question: "So, are you here to demand the right to control us?"

Looking at Greymane, who didn't even believe what he said, Lothar shook his head decisively: "No, my ancestors left this land a long time ago to establish the Kingdom of Stormwind in the south, and since then they have given up this right. ”

"But it is an indisputable fact that I still have a strong connection to this place that was conquered and civilized by my ancestors. ”

"And he can rely on ancient contracts to support us. Terenus smiled and pointed out, apparently anticipating the kings' reactions, "Emperor Soladin helped the elves rid themselves of the troll threat, so the elves have sworn to help the Great or his descendants in times of need. ”

"But. Hearing this, Solas withdrew his scrutinizing gaze from Lothar, "The elves asked us for help more than ten years ago......"

The king paused, looking a little unconfident: "At that time, Riptide Castle was dealing with Alterac's incursion into the border, so I refused their request. ”

When Perinord heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency Solas, if I remember correctly, you said the opposite, right?"

Kul Tiras also rejected the elves. Everyone present knew how heated the relationship between Alterac and Riptide Castle was, and Proudmore was the first to stop a possible dispute, "The road is long, the supplies are scarce, and the conflicts at home are one after another...... I'm sure all of you have used this reason. ”

The crowd fell silent, but at this awkward moment, it was the rude Greymane who saw the essence clearly: "We owe them nothing, but they owe us." ”

"That's right. A voice different from anyone here rang out, and after years of tempering, the vicissitudes of life revealed infinite wisdom.

Everyone looked at a balcony that had been empty just a moment ago, and almost at the same time, a purple flag stretched out, it was an eye with three straight arrows extending from below, and for a moment, the whole pattern seemed to still shimmer with a lilac shimmer.

An elder with an archmage hat on his head stepped up to the balcony, grabbed his snow-white beard that reached his chest, and said softly, "I believe that Sir Lothar will be able to get the support of the High Elves, and that a friend can help us." ”

"It would be great if you had a way, Lord Antonidas. No one expressed displeasure at the sudden arrival of this man, and even Terenus stood up to welcome him.

Dalaran's strength is certainly not the strongest, but it is absolutely essential.

"This will make for a very good deal. Antonidas' presence and the support shown for Lothar has made his position clear, and Perinord is amusefully unresponsive, "I think we should have had enough time to think about what we've got, which will be very useful for the next decision." ”

"You're right. Terenus nodded, knowing that he could not force others to make decisions in such a short period of time, "The food has been prepared in the restaurant, and now I invite you to dine with me, not between kings and kings, but like neighbors and friends. Let's not discuss these during the feast, but think about it ourselves. In this way, we can better digest what is placed in front of us, whether it is a threat or food. ”

Humorous little jokes.

Seeing that the kings nodded and began to act, Khadgar shook his head silently. When he noticed that everyone else was starting to support Lothar, Perionoord quickly diverted the attention of the group and interrupted the meeting.

He didn't know if Alterac's king was trying to fight for more power or what, but he knew he wouldn't be surprised if Perinold's support for the league was straight out at the end of lunch.

This will allow him to avoid being isolated, or to be in a lower position in the upcoming alliance, and more importantly, to save face.

It's cunning.
