Chapter 1040: The Lich King's Grievances

Speaking of this Prince Gilneis, Sarayan is also quite emotional.

In the original history, due to the scourge of werewolves and the forsaken outside, Liam Greymane died heroically defending his father while resisting the invasion of the Banshee King.

According to the evaluation of the barrage, even from the description of the scale scratch in the Werewolf Novice Quest, it can be seen that Prince Liam is far more virtuous than his stubborn father.

It's a pity that Prince Liam died young, so that Jean, who became the wolf queen full of revenge and anger, could only drag his old body and continue to gallop on the battlefield.

According to Kael'thas, because of the rapid changes in the international situation in recent years, Jean Greymane himself has noticed that his way of thinking has begun to fail to keep up with the changes of the times.

Among the kings of the same generation who met with Jean to talk about it, Rhian Ureon was assassinated, Aiden Pirenor was executed for betraying humanity, and Solas Torbain was stabbed in the back by his own son.

What happened to the above three people was the most tragic of all kings.

Then came Antonidas, the president of Kenrito, who was lucky to find a suitable successor and successor, and after retiring with peace of mind, he no longer asked about mundane affairs, and planned to spend the last part of his old age peacefully.

Terenus, who was once regarded by Jean as a lifelong enemy, has also died of illness, and only Darin, who has been traveling all over the world all year round and is relatively open-minded, can still grasp the pulse of the times.

However, according to the information obtained by Jean, Dalin has also begun to step up the cultivation of heirs in the past two years, and he has obviously retreated.

With the eldest son Drake killed in battle and the eldest daughter Gianna uninterested in the throne, Daillin can only pin his hopes on his youngest son, Tandray.

Looking around, the kings of the seven human kingdoms who had been drinking and chatting together at the beginning were now the only ones left who were still firmly holding on to the throne.

Leaving Stormgard to the throne alone, he can only be reluctantly run by the Regency Council for the time being, waiting for the return of King Danas Thorbain on the other side of the Dark Gate.

Alterac, Stormwind, Lordaeron, and Dalaran have all inherited supreme power from the younger generation, and Dahlin seems to have the same intentions on his side.

Even if he refuses to accept old age, seeing that there are more and more gray hairs on his sideburns, and against the backdrop of his surroundings, Jean has to admit that the glory of his generation has come to an end, and perhaps more opportunities should be given to more open-minded young people.

It was precisely because of this recognition that King Jean, who had always been stubborn, was moved by Prince Liam, who was arguing with reason, to vote in favor of rebuilding the alliance.

Kael'thas sighed softly: "According to the follow-up investigation of Backlight Blade, after returning to Gilneth after the League Assembly, Jean did begin to consciously and gradually transfer various affairs to Prince Liam. ”

"In the face of his father's sudden burden, Liam handled everything with near-perfect attitude, and in a way, the more slick and flexible Liam handled it even better than Jean himself."

"Heh~" Sarian chuckled and spread his hands: "Jean's mood should be quite complicated at this time." ”

"If you do the math, it's been more than 20 years since Jean took over the throne from his father, Archibald Greyman, and he's really not young."

Kael'thas agreed, "Isn't it, humans don't live as long as our High Elves, and Jean should really think about the successor." ”

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it."

Kael'thas suddenly remembered something, and raised his hand to pat his smooth forehead: "The interaction between the three dwarves has become more and more frequent after the alliance conference, and recently the leaders of the three clans have gathered in Ironforge Castle to meet in person for the first time. ”

"If nothing else, the upper echelons of the Brute Hammer and the Black Iron Dwarves will return to the Kazmodan Kingdom to form the Triple Hammer Council with the Copperbeard Clan, as you expected."

This was expected by Sarren, who told Kael'thas in detail about it before he set off.

Regardless of whether the Copperbeard Clan is willing to admit it, there is no doubt that the national strength of the Kazmodan Kingdom has declined significantly after the Brute Hammer and Black Iron have torn their faces one after another.

During the reign of the Mountain King Anwemar, the Copperbeard clan held the Mountain King's guard, mainly responsible for guarding the capital city of Ironforge.

The Hammer Dwarves, led by Prince Cardros, are scattered in the wilderness and hills.

Although they are contemptuously called Xiangba Lao by the Copperbeard Clan because they rarely enter the city, their individual combat effectiveness is still above that of the Copperbeard Clan, but the total population is inferior.

The Black Iron Clan is equally important to the kingdom of Kazmodan, who wields the power of its spells.

After the end of the Battle of the Three Hammers, Madolan Copperbeard, who won the war, tried many ways, but he was never able to bring the kingdom of Kazmodan back to the top.

The kingdom ruled by the Copperbeard Dwarves has almost completely lost its casters, and the only resort is to bring in the emerging power of the Holy Light from the human side.

However, for reasons that are well known, the Light is perceived by humans as a less aggressive and milder force that is better at guarding and healing.

The Copperbeard Dwarves have naturally followed the Human Kingdom's understanding of the Light, and still haven't improved much in terms of offensive spells.

In contrast, the Hammerhammer Dwarves who accompanied griffons in the highlands of Sintra unexpectedly awakened the power of the elements and gained a portion of the incomplete shamanic lineage.

And the Black Iron Dwarf has never forgotten his own specialty, and after obtaining the blessing of the fire element, he has played the fire spell to perfection.

Unable to make a breakthrough in spells, the Copperbeard Dwarves can only go further and further in physical warfare.

In order to strengthen their people's fighting abilities, the Copperbeard Dwarves further excavated the forging abilities inherited from the Earth Spirit Age, making Ironforge a well-known forgeing mecca in Azeroth.

After separation, the three dwarf clans have developed their own characteristics, and if they really put aside their differences and reorganize the Three Hammers Council, the comprehensive national strength of the Kazmodan Kingdom will inevitably make a qualitative leap.

Sarean and Kael'thas were happy to see it.

War is coming, and the allies who stand on the same front are, of course, the stronger the better.

If Terenus was still around, he probably wouldn't have watched the dwarves re-emerge.

After a long period of teaching the big picture by Sarjan, Queen Galia will not be so short-sighted, and she even sent diplomatic envoys to help broker negotiations between the three major dwarven clans, so as to strengthen Lordaeron's influence as the host of the alliance.

Kael'thas: "According to Caponia's speculation, the dwarves should officially announce the re-establishment of the Three Hammers Council within a month at the latest." ”

"I hope they can finish the joint training of the three armies after more than two hundred years before the start of the war."

The three clans of Copperbeard, Brute Hammer, and Black Iron have long since had very different tactics, and it was not easy to reunite them into a whole.

But on the other hand, if the reborn Kazmodan Kingdom can be trained in the true sense, their strength on the battlefield is definitely not just 1+1+1=3.

"The Great War Will Begin......"

Salaan turned his head to look out the window of Kael'thas Study, where the sky above Quel'Salas was still clear, and several eagles and dragon eagle knights could occasionally be seen patrolling the sky from the far side of the palace.

Salaan said with some concern: "I don't know what the situation is on the other side of the Dark Gate, I hope Aurelia can return smoothly after the Dark Gate is opened." ”

……

While Salaam and Kael'thas were exchanging information in the Court of the Sunstrider, the Lich King Neozu, who was patrolling the development of the Cursed Sect from a distance on the Ice Throne in the far north of Icecrown Glacier, suddenly received news of the arrival of the Dreadlord from his subordinates.

"Dreadlord?"

Nao Zu, who was locked in the permafrost ice, muttered a little in his heart: "It's just at this juncture...... I have a bad premonition. ”

During his lifetime, Nao Zu came from the Shadow Moon Clan, which was good at stargazing, and was more sensitive to the rhythm of the thread of fate than ordinary spellcasters.

Every time he had an ominous premonition, it usually came true in various forms, and the more he tried to avoid it, the more he couldn't avoid it.

Without waiting for Nao Zu to give further instructions, the four Dreaddemon Kings had already strode over without any scruples.

This impolite behavior annoyed Naozu, which made it clear that he didn't take him seriously.

As the power of the Cursed Sect expanded, Nao Zu's confidence became more and more strong.

Although he was not yet at the point where he could tear his face with the Burning Legion, he couldn't stand the Dreadlord's commanding attitude anymore.

"A few envoys, you should have come to me in groups, there should be a ......"

"Less nonsense!"

Since the last failed layout in Lordaeron, the Lordaerons have gone mad and hunted witches, making it increasingly difficult for the Dreadlords to gain a foothold in Lordaeron.

Deselock was already in a bad mood, but Naozu's posturing posture further stimulated him, and he immediately rudely interrupted Naozu's nonsense.

As Naozu's mood changed, the temperature near the Ice Throne dropped significantly.

Banazar stood up and patted his colleague on the shoulder: "Don't get excited, it's important to get down to business." ”

Varimathas stepped forward with a light cough and read in a serious tone that was rare for the Dreadlord, "Naozu, we have brought the latest orders from Lord Kilgardan. ”

'Fraudster! ’

For this demon lord who could handle himself at his fingertips, Nao Zu didn't dare to be as casual as he was in the face of these stupid bats, he hurriedly pressed his anger and put on a respectful posture.

"Naozu is here to listen to Lord Kil'Gardan's orders, envoy, please speak."

Varymathas was pleased with Neozu's humility: "Lord Kil'Gardan has ordered you to join forces with the allies who are attacking Azeroth from the Dark Gate, to unleash a wave of undead in the Eastern Kingdoms and to attract as much attention as possible to the nations of the Alliance. ”

Long after Kel'thugad delivered the news that the Dark Gate was about to open again, Naozu guessed that Kil'Gardan would not easily pass up this opportunity to tear apart Azeroth's defenses.

'Hey~ as Kel'thugad expected. ’

Nao Zu sighed silently in his heart.

According to Kel'thugad, now is not the best time for a natural disaster to surface.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and in the face of Kil'Gardan's personal order, Naozu can only accept it with dissatisfaction and respectfully.

"Nao Zu obeys, I will immediately order all departments of the Scourge Legion to start preparations in advance, and ask the special envoy to inform Lord Kilgardan on behalf of me about this matter."

'Bear with me, bear with me, wait until Kel'thugad has more strength for me...... I'll start by using these stupid big bats to honor the Scourge Legion's rise! ’
