On the way to the palace, Murphy and Lothar exchanged a few polite greetings, and in passing mentioned the pirate attack.

Anduin Lothar (Storm Knights): "What? Lordaeron's envoy fleet is under attack by a pirate fleet! Anduin Lothar looked shocked, "It is intolerable that such a thing should happen, the majesty of the alliance must not be offended, rest assured, I will ask His Majesty the King to send a fleet to search north, and those despicable pirates will not be allowed to go wild."

Please rest assured, as long as you enter Stormwind City, you will never encounter danger again, and the soldiers of the Stormwind Knights will definitely protect your safety, please come with me. ”

The group followed Lothar all the way towards the city, Murphy observed the streets of the surrounding cities as he walked, it seemed that the orcs should not have invaded on a large scale, and the city scene in the surrounding streets was still calm, merchants doing business, farmers who came into the city to sell their crops, high-spirited nobles and knights.

Of course, there are also adventurers everywhere, going in and out of blacksmiths and taverns, shouting in the streets, casting magic, and even planting flags in duels.

Seeing the large group of envoys, those adventurers cast curious glances and discussed a lot, but it was a bit of a real soy sauce party.

Soon the envoys entered Stormwind Fortress, which, like Alterac, was a huge fortress castle, with towering walls made of rock and tower-shaped buildings.

The group was sent to rest in a palace near the sea in the fortress.

Lothar (Storm Knight): "Please rest for a while, I will arrange for two envoys to meet with His Majesty the King tonight, the alliance meeting will officially begin after the arrival of the envoys of Quel'Salas, it is expected to be held tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the two princes are still satisfied with the environment here, if there is anything needed, you can ask the attendants." ”

Aidan (Prince Outrank): "I am very pleased to be here, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty the King, and I will be with Prince Arthas tonight to see His Majesty." ”

When Sir Lothar was gone, Murphy immediately called for an attendant, took a gold coin from his pocket and threw it over.

"Your Royal Highness, I can't ......"

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm not trying to bribe you, I'm just asking about the situation, except for us, who are the envoys of other kingdoms, these must not be sensitive information."

When the attendant saw that what he was inquiring about was just this kind of ordinary information, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and introduced all the relevant information.

This time, the special envoys sent by various countries are quite honorable.

Gilneth's envoy is a guy he doesn't know Murphy, and it's unsure if it's a player or an NPC by name.

Dalaran's envoy was the archmage Kel'thugad, which surprised Murphy, but he didn't expect it to be this.

The envoy of the Dwarven Kingdom of Ironforge is Prince Thorin Copperbeard, and he is probably a player by that name.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Riptide is Princess Catherine Thorbaine.

"Wait a minute, who did you say the envoy of the Riptide Kingdom is here?"

"Princess Catherine Thorbaine, why, does His Royal Highness the Prince know this lady?"

Mo Feixin said that she didn't just know each other, she was still an old friend, by the way, she seemed to still have a box of dragon eggs in her hands, and she had to find time to complete the task and get the dragon eggs back.

The dragon egg is a good thing, in the hands of the boss can hatch a black dragon, can also be transformed into a black dragon, if it is obtained by the adventurer, you can open the black dragon baby this rare pet, and if there is the right technology, you can even catalyze the black baby dragon to form a dragon knight legion.

Murphy had packed the eggs in a box and handed them to Catherine for his new number. But isn't Princess Catherine a civilian template? Is it advanced?

In the evening, Murphy and Arthas came to the palace in full dress, and the two entered the king's hall, and King Ryan sat on the throne, waiting for them to arrive with a kind face.

The squire read out aloud the names and titles of two men—Prince Aidan from Alterac and Prince Alsace from Lordaeron.

Ryan Ureon (King of the Stormwind): "Welcome to Stormwind, two princes, I am very disturbed to hear that you have encountered pirates at sea, and it would be a pity if they were injured because of my invitation, but I am glad that the two princes were able to arrive safely with the protection of the gods. ”

Aidan (Prince Alterac): "Yes, Your Majesty, those pirates are extremely vicious, and they seem to have specialized in killing the Prince of Arthas, and even united the Naga, the Fishmen, and the terrible sea beasts, fortunately, our fleet happened to meet, and after a bloody battle, the Prince of Arthas was finally saved, but unfortunately the envoy fleet of Lordaeron was completely wiped out, and hundreds of loyal and brave soldiers died at sea. ”

King Ryan sighed with a solemn face, "In the past two years, the situation of the alliance has been very bad, the orcs have invaded, the dragons are ready to move, and the cultists who believe in the evil gods have risen everywhere, and now even the pirate Naga has become no longer at peace.

Every time I think of this, I feel that a terrible evil force seems to be rising, this time I convened the alliance meeting, in the hope of uniting all forces, forming a powerful coalition to jointly fight against the growing threat to the alliance, I have a sense of foreboding, the evil force is about to rise, the terrible disaster is coming, in this eventful season, only unity, it is possible to tide over the difficulties together.

How did the two princes feel about my proposal? ”

Mo Feixin said okay, King Lane, his eloquence is good, and he really can't find fault with what he said, "for the sake of the alliance", "in order to deal with the increasing threat", and never mention the orc invasion.

Put the orc invasion with the dragons, the cultists, the pirate Naga and so on, so that the alliance is not formed for the sake of the Stormwind Kingdom, but for the entire alliance.

To be honest, if you look at the history of later generations, whether King Lane's words are alarmist or not, they can be regarded as far-sighted, but he still remembers the purpose of his coming, that is, to wait and see what happens, and to reap the benefits, not to mention that the strength of the Alterac Kingdom is the second to last in the alliance, and it is slightly stronger than the dwarf forces, so it is better not to mess around.

He looked at Arthas, and said to himself, Didn't my father tell you this? You're on it.

Arthas had a serious face, with a mature expression on his face that a twelve-year-old boy should not have, "Uncle Ryan makes a lot of sense, and my father has always felt that the alliance needs to have a leader, a strong core, and only in this way can the forces of the scattered sand be united.

He has always wanted to have a meeting with Uncle Lane, but unfortunately he can't get away, the Kingdom of Stormwind is too far away from Lordaeron, too far away from the northern countries, otherwise, with Uncle Lane's assistance, the coalition must be easily established, Uncle Lane thinks it's not it. ”

King Ryan was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised by Arthas's words, but Murphy was even more surprised.

What Arthas said is not that he is too far away and there is no way to meet, but what he said is clearly [You are outside the alliance of the Storm Kingdom, and you don't listen to my Lordaeron's leadership, why should Lao Tzu help you, if you want to ask for help, then honestly respect me as the boss, naturally everything is easy to say. 】

The so-called 'Uncle Lane's assistance', since it is assistance, it must be Lordaeron who dominates.

If this is said by an old politician, it is naturally fine, and it is surprising that a little boy in Alsace can have such a high level of political consciousness.

King Ryan sighed: "King Tenaris's wisdom has always been very admirable to me, Lordaeron is undoubtedly the most powerful pole of the alliance, and it is precisely because of Lordaeron that the balance of the north can be maintained, so that the enemies of those alliances dare not act rashly."

It's a pity that Lordaeron is too far away from the south, and obviously doesn't know much about the complex environment facing the Stormwind Kingdom, and now that the orc invasion is imminent, after the orcs are defeated, maybe I can have time to go to Lordaeron and meet with King Tenaris to discuss the future of the alliance with your father, and pay my respects by the way. ”

King Ryan also had something to say, [You Luo Danlun is so far away, how can Lao Tzu easily take refuge, or you help me defeat the orcs first, and then I will naturally repay the favor. 】

However, his words are quite ambiguous and tactful, and the so-called 'discuss the future of the alliance, and express my respect by the way', can barely be understood as I am willing to serve you as the boss, but if it is interpreted literally, I am just polite to you, and it is also reasonable.

Arthas was not fooled at all, "Uncle Ryan's words made me very pleased, and my father told me before he left that if necessary, he could let Lordaeron's army assist in the defense of this place against the invasion of the orcs, of course, due to the lack of supply points and logistics, in order to better fight the orcs, it is best to get the help of the local people."

And given the terrible number of orc armies, it would be better to build a sufficiently solid rear base.

Lordaeron could land from the Western Wilderness by sea, but this would inevitably involve the local militia, so it was hoped that His Majesty would be able to obtain authorization for the local lords to temporarily accept the command of the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

[It's not impossible to help fight the orcs, but if you don't score points for such a large territory as the Storm Kingdom, I think the Western Wilderness is very good, or give me the Western Wilderness, and I will help you fight the orcs together. 】

Don't look at King Ryan nominally ruling the entire Stormwind Kingdom, but the Stormwind Kingdom is a feudal society, and most of the land is given to noble lords, Tenaris directly targets the feudal power of these lords, and wants these lords to accept the command of Lordaeron, which is equivalent to letting these lords switch to Lordaeron, which is the foundation of the kingdom's rule.
