As a matter of customary etiquette, Salian sent invitations to all of the Quel'Salas executives, including Kael'thas.

But most of the top brass, including Kael'thas, made it clear that they would not participate in the banquet, which was attended mainly by the southern aristocracy.

Sarayan has a very bad impression of Darkan, but it is impossible for him not to send an invitation letter to Darkan, the prime minister, otherwise it means that he intends to completely tear up his face with Darkan.

Today's Darkan is no longer what it used to be, although his official position has not declined compared to the time of Speaker Silvermoon, but the power in his hands and the power of his family have long declined significantly.

Most of the power that was in the hands of the Silvermoon Council was recovered by Anastria.

In the absence of sufficient confidence, Darkan did not dare to jump out and stir up the wind and rain.

But Sarean knew that this guy with an insatiable thirst for power in his heart would not give up easily.

No matter what the final result is, sooner or later, he will have an unbearable outburst.

After the rest of the cabinet said they wouldn't attend, Sarean subconsciously thought that Darkan, who had not responded, would not be there.

But this guy just came.

In any case, Darkan's status as Prime Minister is high enough, and even as the most important Duke advisor to the Sun King, it is necessary for Salian to personally go outside the gate to greet him.

Darkan's expression was very well managed, and he couldn't see any dissatisfaction and vigilance with Sarren, and as soon as they met, the two of them looked like they were talking happily, and people who didn't know the inside thought that their relationship was very good.

After nearly ten years of experience, Salaan is no longer the stunned young man he was when he first left Quel'Thalas, and the necessary drama is no longer a problem for him.

On the way to the banquet hall for Prime Minister Drahir's warm reception, Sarren's brain was running at high speed, and he wondered what Darkan was trying to do this time when he came alone.

'Wooing? No way, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I can't turn my back on Kael'thas. ’

Now that most of Quel'Thalas' power is in the hands of the Sun King, no matter what ambitions Saljan has, as long as the Sun King remains supportive of him as always, Saljan has no reason to switch to someone else.

As a member of the aristocratic circle with a lot of rules, Darkan is obviously also well versed in the nonsense literature of the aristocracy.

After entering the banquet hall and greeting the other nobles, he kept chatting with Salian all over the world, but he didn't get down to business.

However, through the information revealed between the lines, whether intentional or unintentional, Sarian vaguely understood what he meant.

Not to woo him, as smart as Darkan knew that he couldn't pry Saream out of Kael'thas's hands.

If Saljan is indeed a descendant of the dragon clan as rumored, it is obviously the stupidest choice to offend him to death.

So, Darkan chose to show overture.

It would be unrealistic for him not to force Saljan to join his side and rebuild the glory of the nobility with slogans, but at least he should not be too hostile to himself.

If it weren't for the lot of information provided by the barrage, Sarian might have really been deceived by this guy with excellent acting skills and let his guard down on him.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.

Knowing from the very beginning that Darkan had betrayed his people in the original history and introduced the Scourge Legion, it was impossible for Salian to let his guard down for a moment against such a villain who might betray his clan for glory.

But on the surface, Salian still smiled and responded to the many topics that Darkan talked about.

Thanks to the breadth of knowledge he had gained over his years of travelling in Azeroth, Sareen was able to keep up with any of the topics that Darkan raised, at least in terms of superficial small talk, aside, and delve into it.

Darkan is indeed not right-minded, but his ability is indeed strong and his knowledge is very profound.

The more he chatted with Sarren, the more surprised Darkan became.

Originally, he thought that Salaan was just a simple-minded martial arts faction, and it was only because of some whimsical ideas and special identities that he was recruited by Kael'thas as the chief advisor.

Through this short conversation, Darkan quickly let go of the arrogance inherent in the High Elves and began to face up to the young duke, who was known as Kael'thas right-hand man.

'The afterlife is terrifying...... No wonder the climb is so fast, and there is really real material. ’

As the host and host of the banquet, it was impossible for Sarian to focus all his energy on one of the guests.

At the initiative of Sarren, the nobles who had been a little restrained by Darkan's arrival finally gathered around again, and the conversation was still about the hot topic discussed before.

In the battle for the throne of Lordaeron, who will win in the end.

Darkan is also interested in this recent hot topic, and he also gave his opinion.

"On the surface, the Prince of Alsace has a big advantage."

"Although most civil officials chose Princess Jialia, but things have progressed to this point, and the final fight must be the military strength in their respective hands, and this is Princess Jialia's weakness."

Darkan glanced meaningfully at Sarren, who was also listening.

"Despite the help of Nathanos Mares, a human ranger who used to study in Quel'Thalas, and Mogleni, Princess Galia still has no military strength in her hands as Prince Arthas."

One of the nobles asked thoughtfully: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister said this, and it is really the Prince of Alsace who is optimistic, right?" ”

"No, quite the opposite."

The corners of Darkan's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile: "Arthas's problem is too obvious, more deadly than Princess Galia. ”

"Perhaps there was something wrong with Terenus's teachings, and Arthas's inability to withstand the high pressure of his mind for a long time was his biggest character shortcoming."

"Once the pressure accumulates beyond a certain critical point, there is a good chance that he will be driven into hysteria by the constant pressure from home and abroad."

"On the other hand, Princess Galia has only been in politics for a short time, but why has she been able to get the support of a large number of courtiers in just two years, and even developed to the point of competing with Alsace?"

"Just because Alsace made a decision-making mistake emotionally? I'm afraid not. ”

Seeing the pensive expressions of everyone present, including Sarren, Darkan chuckled meaningfully, "In addition, Lordaeron's most elite silver hand is still holding its ground. ”

"If they suddenly express their support for Princess Galia, the situation will soon be reversed, and the loss of control of Arthas, who can't bear the pressure, will come faster."

As Prime Minister, Darkan has no access to Backlight Blade, which belongs directly to the Sunseeker royal family, and most of the information he receives comes from the Defense Intelligence Agency.

It may be rude to say this, but there is still a certain gap between the intelligence officers of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Backlight Blade in terms of their level of elite.

The Intelligence Bureau has only been established for a short time, and most of its members have gone out from Backlight Blade.

Most of the true core members of Backlight Blade are still in their original establishment, with only one veteran thief, Garad Shatterstar, transferred by Kael'thas to the newly established Defense Intelligence Agency (LAY) to become the first director of the Intelligence Agency.

The Defense Intelligence Agency's intelligence acquisition is far less efficient than the Backlight Blade, usually a few beats slower, and even more lackluster in terms of intelligence on members of the royal family of Lordaeron.

Darkan was able to piece together Alsace's character flaws just through these bits and pieces of information, and even Saljan had to be impressed.

'It's a pity, if it weren't for this guy's ambition, he could have helped Kael'thas create a new High Elf Age. ’

A person with talent and no virtue is much more harmful than a person with virtue and no talent, and he still cannot relax his guard. ’

Again, there are no ifs in the world.

Darkan's abilities are unquestionable, but his heart is destined for Kael'thas to reuse him.

The Prime Minister's views were contrary to the general opinion of the nobles present, and many believed that Alsace, with a clear advantage, would win the final victory.

"Oh yes." Sarian suddenly patted his head with a pretended annoyance: "I almost forgot to say that according to the latest information, Princess Galia has already attacked the Alsace side first, and at this moment the unprepared prince's forces are fighting and retreating." ”

"Oh?"

Darkan had long known that Salian's confidante Valyla Sangunar held the high-level authority of the Backlight Blade in his hands, and it was not surprising that he could get the latest information ahead of time.

What surprised him was Princess Caria's resolute attitude of taking the initiative.

According to Delia's past behavior patterns, Darkan believes that the eldest princess is a person with a gentle personality and lack of decisiveness.

The reason why it has been able to develop to this point today is that Princess Jialia may have another master behind her.

Delia's decisive action this time was obviously beyond Darkan's expectations, and this uncertainty beyond expectations made him feel a little uneasy.

'Am I missing something important?' Or is this also the person behind Jialia who is supporting her? ’

Darkan glanced thoughtfully at Sarren, who was chatting in the crowd, "Later in the battle of Alterac, Lordaeron's movements exceeded my expectations. ’

'Could it be...... Princess Garia's change is related to Sarjan Deep Shadow, who once infiltrated the royal city of Lordaeron on an extremely secret mission? ’
