Minahill, the royal family of Lordaeron. Varian, who was also the prince of the Stormwind Kingdom, knew the identity of the other party for the first time, and then he nodded slightly in respect: "Varian Wrynn, it's a pleasure to meet you, Your Royal Highness. ”

"Don't be so polite. Seeing that this young man who was still menacing just now was so approachable, Arthas was a little uncomfortable for a while, and then suddenly remembered the meaning of the name, and was about to give a salute in return, but was suddenly interrupted by the girl behind him.

"Wrynn, you're the Prince of Stormwind!"

For the girl's surprise, Varian was helpless but also proud. Despite Stormwind's location in the southern part of the continent and its distance from the rest of the kingdoms, it seems that its popularity is not as weak as it seems.

Soon, though, it was his turn to be surprised.

"Ah, yes. Realizing her recklessness, the girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and hurriedly showed the proper etiquette of a nobleman, "I'm Gianna Proudmore from Coultiras, I've heard a lot of rumors about your father, is he here today?"

Before he could recover from the other party's family history, Varian's expression darkened again after hearing Gianna's greeting: "Father, he died in the war with the orcs. ”

"I, I'm sorry. The sadness emanating from the teenager hit Gianna's young heart, but at a young age, she didn't know how to comfort the other party, and she suddenly became a little helpless.

Fortunately, the Prince of Arthas changed the subject with great interest: "Orcs, I have heard that they are doing all kinds of evil in the south, is this why you are here today?"

Varian nodded: "Orcs are not only a scourge to the Stormwind Kingdom, sooner or later, these monsters will endanger the safety of other kingdoms. ”

"They are very strong and only together can we have a chance to beat them. ”

For a few children, the topic of war was clearly still too heavy. Seeing that Varian and Gianna were silent, Alsasson had an idea: "Why don't we go and see how they go?"

"Well, isn't that right? It's miserable to be discovered. ”

"Rest assured, we hide behind our attendants, and as long as we are careful not to make a sound, we will not be detected. Arthas patted his chest confidently, apparently this isn't the first time he's done this, "Varian, what do you think?" ”

Although there is an age factor, as a prince, not being able to participate in this council has already made Varian angry. Faced with Arthas's proposal, he nodded his head in agreement almost without thinking about it.

——————————————————

Lothar waited quietly, his gaze scanning the balcony above as unrelated people gradually left the hall.

The man who was as strong as a bear, with a thick black beard, but a gentleman dressed in a long black and gray robe and a high hat, was Jean Greymayne, ruler of Gilnes. The rumors about the king gave the impression of being rude and savage as much as his appearance, but Lothar was well aware that Ben was a powerful monarch of wisdom and strength under his wild exterior.

As for the tall, lanky man in a green naval uniform with weather-beaten skin next to him, it was clearly the admiral, King of Kul Tiras, Dalein Prodmore. The kingdom is small, but because it is surrounded by seas, they have the most powerful maritime forces in the world.

Lothar had already been in contact with these two monarchs before coming to Lordaeron, so it was the others that he really cared about.

On the brown star banner with the winged eagle on it, stood a smiling nobleman, Aiden Perrynord, King of Alterac. As a mountain kingdom, Alterac's resources and strength are indeed very weak compared to other kingdoms, and most of the rumors about Perinolds in the outside world are ridiculed. Compared with the other kingdoms that achieved their founding goals with indisputable facts, Alterac was more like a nouveau riche aristocracy with a self-respecting feudal town. Thanks to the decline of Riptide Castle, the original absolute ruler of mankind, Perinord would not have had the courage to take over the mountain.

At the mention of Riptide Castle, Lothar's gaze involuntarily slid to the banner of the fist full of power.

Above the flag, a rugged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a luxurious coat made of fur that highlights the brutal highland climate of Araço. It's just that compared to Perinod, who has a similar territorial environment, he seems more rustic, and he doesn't need to cover up anything with polite qualities.

After all, he was the absolute leader of Solas Torbain, the first kingdom of mankind, Riptide Castle.

The leaders of the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race, except for Ryan Ureon, the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, who died on the front line not long ago, there are already five people on the scene, as for the one in Dalaran......

"I sent invitations to the kings at the same time you arrived here, but Antonidas, the lord of Dalaran, was unable to get out of the way, but he had already expressed his opinion to me. ”

With Terenus' explanation, Lothar nodded in understanding, but Khadgar beside him was inexplicably sad. Of course, he knew what Antonidas's gang was up to, but no matter how much he tried to stop their exploration of Karazhan, the teacher's private domain, there was nothing he could do.

Medivin left him not only strength and help, but also responsibility, and he must take the place of his teacher to fulfill the duty of guarding Stormwind and protecting this world.

At the very least, official searches are much more 'polite' than those shameful thieves.

Khadgar could only console himself with this, but alas, he should never know the truth.

"Thank you very much for coming, and I apologize for the delay you have had. Terenus began the conversation, his voice easily moving through the hall, "But this is a very urgent request, an issue that needs to be discussed together for the safety of all of us. ”

He paused and looked at the knight at the bottom of the steps, "Let me introduce you, this is Anduin Lothar, the general of Stormwind. ”

Lothar took a step forward and bowed to Terenus, "Distinguished kings, I thank you for being here and for listening to me. ”

"But I'm not a bard or a diplomat, I'm just a warrior, so I'm going to be very concise. After taking a deep breath, Lothar's voice became heavy, "My hometown, the Stormwind Kingdom, no longer exists......"

Lothar's performance was very worthy of his introduction, and in just two minutes, he finished telling the story of the orc invasion until the fall of Ryan and the fall of Stormwind. As the kings mourned in silence for the fall of such a mighty nation, Lothar glanced around and said in a stark tone: "The orcs will never stop because of a Stormwind City, their forces are boundless, they are greedy, they are savage, and they will try to control the whole world." ”

"You mean, they're going to come here. When Lothar paused, Prodmore added in time that his tone was more of a statement of fact than a question.

Lothar, on the other hand, nodded firmly.

"Do they have a boat?" Dalin pressed on his distinctive navy hat, but the gesture still didn't hide the piercing eyes of his eyes.

"Not at the time we left. ”

But that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future.

Dai Lin is also a good person, and after hearing such news, he showed a confident smile: "Then can I assume that they have the strength to cross my sea area?"

"If it's really like Lothar said, they're more likely to go overland. Not to be outdone, Solas shouted.

The two men looked at each other, and invisible sparks flickered in them.

It is always the case among the major powers, even if they do not know the truth, they still have to bear the brunt of their own strength and confidence. It's no wonder that the term "big brother" sounds worldly, but the vanity and power it can bring is considerable.

"Of course they can, in fact, they are smart enough to cross the mountains, forests and oceans of the south by any means and reach Lordaeron. Lothar's mood was a little low, but the kings had not seen the horrors of the tribe, and he could barely understand it.

"South?" said Gene Greymane, this time "they can't cross us! I'll crush all those who try to land on my shoreline!"

"You don't get it. Lothar was a little tired of the self-confidence of these kings, "You have not seen their numbers and strength, but I can tell you that you can't stop them. ”

He looked at the angry king, sadness and pride on his face at the same time: "The army of the Stormwind Kingdom is excellent, my warriors are all highly trained and have a wealth of combat experience, we have faced and fought against the tribes, and at one time we were close to the door of victory. ”

"But, their numbers are too large, and in front of the tribe, we ...... We are like a child with a confused mind, like an old man with no hands to tie a chicken, like wheat harvested in patches......"

Lothar's voice was monotonous, with an absolute coldness: "If you choose to go your own way, they will sweep through the mountains, conquer the seas, pass through your proud armies, and territories!"

"And what do you suggest we do?" Tyrenus asked in time, his calm voice soothing the impending outburst of anger that even Khadgar could feel. No one, especially as a king, would want to be taken for megalomania by someone who was not of their generation.

"We have to join forces. Lothar apparently noticed this as well, and nodded gratefully at Terenus, "None of us can stand up to the Horde alone, but once we're united...... Maybe you can beat them. ”

"You say the threat is looming, and I wouldn't object. This time it was Aiden Perrynord, who had been secretly observing, "But what I want to know is, have you tried to solve this problem in any way other than the use of force?"

Seeing that his words attracted all the attention, Aiden straightened his collar very elegantly, as if to show his noble demeanor: "I am not contradicting you, and I regret the pain you have suffered, but be sure not to get carried away by anger and hatred." Since you say these orcs are smart, are they rational beings? Have you ever understood their needs? Maybe we can find a way to negotiate with them based on that?"

I have to say that Aiden is familiar with political communication. Although this kind of talk sounds like a fart to Lothar, who has experienced the ruin of his country and family, it is not unreasonable, at least in the eyes of others.

Lothar just shook his head at these questions, his irrepressible anger showing what a stupid discussion he had just found out: "What they want is this world, our world!"

"We've sent messengers, diplomatic experts, ambassadors. He laughed, sneering harshly, "Most of them didn't make it back, and the few of them were all a pile of minced meat that had been cut into pieces." ”
