Chapter 1068: Stormgard's Hot Potato
Although the soldiers returning from Draenor are still referred to as the "Alliance Expeditionary Force", the Alliance is not the same as the Alliance remembered by the Expeditionary Force.
Of the Five Heroes of the Expeditionary Force, Aurelia Windranger and Kurland Wildhammer can reintegrate into their homeland without any obstacles.
Knowing that he was not good at internal affairs, Furstad had long been prepared to pick a son and return the authority to his cousin Kudran.
Known as the Dragon Raider, Furstad thought he was better suited to charge on the battlefield, and he was dizzy from the internal affairs of those who annoyed him.
If it weren't for the Brute Hammer Dwarves, there was really no one in the dwarf clan who could carry the banner, and he wanted to leave his burden behind many times.
Now that Kudran, the true lord of the Hammer Dwarves, has finally returned after many years, the smile on Furstad's face has not faded recently, and he can finally return to the sky from the sea of suffering.
Thanks to Furstad's efforts, the nascent Council of the Three Hammers had already made a place for Kudland.
Not to mention Aurelia, who hugged her three younger siblings as soon as she returned.
If it weren't for the need for multi-line scheduling, which caused the domestic military affairs to be extremely busy, Li Leisa would have wanted to come in person to welcome her eldest daughter home.
Considering Aurelia's free-spirited nature, Kael'thas took Sarjan's advice and did not intend to bind her with military duties and duties.
When Aurelia returns, she should take over the Voyagers, a folk ranger organization.
Haduron Mingyi can't wait for Aurelia's return, and he's even made an appointment with a sullen friend to go to Unicorn City's Fun Street to celebrate.
As for how they want to celebrate...... Well, even the "honest man" Lairas can easily guess.
Compared to the above two, the situation of Danas and Khadgar is more special.
Dalaran is the hometown of Khadgar, who was tasked with Antonidas at the age of 17 and sent to Karazhan to serve as a spy in the name of his education, spying on the increasingly eccentric Madison.
After Medivan's death, Khadgar, the only apprentice of the Astral Mage, naturally inherited all of his legacy, including the Guardian's Takarazan and the vast collection of treasures and books contained within the tower.
Relations between the two sides were almost completely broken due to Khadgar's refusal to open Karazan to Dalaran and an enraged Antonidas believed that he had failed Dalaran's cultivation.
Now that Antonidas is retired, the new Ronin is not as old-fashioned as the old Speaker.
With Ronin's initiative, the relationship between Khadgar and Dalaran tended to ease.
However, it is not possible to completely eliminate the old suspicions in a day or two, and until then, Khadgar intends to continue to settle in Karazhan and deal with the problems of history that he should have solved a long time ago.
Compared to Khadgar, the situation with Danas is more complicated.
In order to pave the way for his own son Garin to succeed to the throne, Danas was banished from the Stormgard political center by Solas with guilt.
It would be impossible to say that Danas had no complaints about this, and Danas thought that he had not yet opened his mind to such a point.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that Garin is a straw bale who only knows how to spend time and drink.
In terms of ability, he didn't even deserve to carry shoes for Danas.
But Solas chose Garin, who was closer to him, and gave up Danas, who was very popular in the country.
Ironically, Garin, who couldn't wait to ascend to the throne and enjoy himself, backstabbed his old father, who pinned all his hopes on him.
Solas, who has lived a brilliant life, made one of the most stupid mistakes in choosing an heir.
Under the trusteeship of the Regency Council, the kingdom of Stormgard has had a miserable life over the years, and the members of the council have dreamed of waiting for the return of King Danas.
But the wishful thinking of the Regency Council ignores one of the most essential issues - the will of Danas himself.
They unilaterally believe that Danas, as a descendant of the Tolbain family, should take over the throne that has been vacant for a long time, and lead the kingdom of Stormgard back on track to revival.
However, Danas did not hesitate to say "no" to the Regency Council.
Citing his own exile, he refused to return to Fort Riptide to govern.
This is not a deliberate temper play by Danas, after learning about the current situation of the Stormgard Kingdom from Salian not long ago, Danas has made a deliberate decision to refuse to return to the kingdom.
After Tulayan's disappearance, Danas, who had urgently taken over the leadership of the expeditionary force, had been thinking about the way out of the expeditionary force.
Years of exertion have given Danas a clear sign of age, as evidenced by his rapidly receding hairline and gray hair on his sideburns.
As the saying goes, there is a beginning and an end, and as the leader of the expeditionary force, Danas brought back from Draenor, has an obligation to help these old brothers who have been away from home for nearly a decade reintegrate into a familiar and unfamiliar homeland.
Before finishing the job, Danas didn't want to think about anything else.
Moreover, Stormgard has been ruled without a king for so many years, and although life has to be done, the country's political system is still functioning normally, and it is not necessary to have a king.
Due to the serious differences of opinion between the two sides, Danas is afraid that for a long time, Danas will continue to fight back and forth with the persevering Regency Council.
This situation made Salian a little funny.
Others are desperately trying to seize power in their arms, wishing they would always sit in the position of the number one power.
The two strange men of the Stormgard Regency Council and Danas desperately pushed their power out, and it can only be said that they are not a family, and they will not enter the door.
Of course, the main reason is that Stormgard, the pot called the ruling one, is hot, and no one wants to ...... Or don't dare to follow at this time.
Sarjan had heard Valera mention that the people of Stormgard had been complaining about the Regency Council's failure to fundamentally improve the lives of the people in the kingdom.
The martial Stormgards often organize groups to apply for "free fighting" in front of the councillors, and if they are not handled well, they will develop into a chaotic battle between the councillors' personal guards and the "enthusiastic" citizens.
In the past year, six members of parliament have been confined to bed at home due to "physical discomfort", and the speaker of the parliament is trembling on his way to work in the palace every day.
The Speaker and the Councillors, who are worried about their lives, can't wait to get rid of this hot pot, and Danas of the Torbain royal family is the best person to take the pot.
Danas was not stupid, and after learning about the current state of the kingdom of Stormgard from Sarean, he didn't want to be a poor backstabber at this juncture.
Even if he really wants to go back to succeed to the throne, Danas wants to stage a wave of real kings.
I have to say that sometimes the plan can't catch up with the change after all.
With the defeat of Kazak, the local war in the Cursed Lands gradually came to an end.
Without the interference of the Burning Legion, the Alliance began to take over control of the Dark Gate in an orderly manner.
Through introductions from the Expeditionary Force's higher-ups, diplomats from Stormwind are attempting to establish initial diplomatic relations with the Maghan orcs and Raven exiles native to Draenor.
While Danas, who remained at the Watch Fort to deal with the return of the expeditionary force, was busy arguing with the Regency Council, Sarian suddenly received an update from Valera and Gianna from the front line on the Sodolil River.
"Ah......h
After reading the report, Sarena smiled wryly and rubbed his eyebrows.
"It's really a coincidence, is this a providence in the dark?"
As a secretary, Stella Gossa curiously took the report from Sarren's hand and skimmed through it at a glance, with a rather strange expression on her face.
"This ...... How did Solas get pulled up by a natural disaster at this time? ”
Sarjan had known for a long time that the Scourge were trying to resurrect Solas as an undead, and he was the one who was experienced in combat to lead the Scourge army's growing army of the undead.
Due to the punishment that Gardin had recently suffered for failing his mission, the Lich King sent the Lich King to dig graves in the Arathi Highlands was named Lace Frostwhisper, an elite Lich of great strength.
It wasn't the first time that Les Frost had resurrected the undead, and while Stormgard's army was still battling deadwood trolls and ogres, he managed to make his way into the Torbairn Royal Necropolis.
Lace Frostwhisper didn't report to the Lich King in the first place, and he easily woke up the vengeful Solas from his grave, as was customary for the resurrected undead.
What happened next was safer than Les Frost had expected.
Just as he was about to put the network of control that the Lich King had built with the Helm of Dominion on the still somewhat dazed Solas, the Stormgard Lord suddenly burst into flames, tearing Frost and most of his men to pieces with three punches and two kicks.
As long as the lifebox is not destroyed, the lich is immortal.
By the time one of the lucky lichs who escaped used the lifebox to resurrect Frostwhisper, Solas had long since escaped.
Knowing that he was in trouble, Lace Frost told the Lich King, who was watching the situation in Lordaeron from far away in Northrend, about the sudden situation.
Naozu is annoyed by the successive mistakes made by his lich, but now is not the time to hold Lace Frost accountable, and it is imperative to get Sorath back first.
With the Helm of Domination's powerful perception of the undead, Neozu quickly captured Soras's whereabouts.
Fresh from his death, Solas regains control of his body with incredible willpower and obsession.
Of course, after Solas escaped, he hid his identity as soon as possible and returned to Fort Riptide, the capital of the kingdom, to inquire about the news.
After learning that Garin, the rebel who backstabbed him, had disappeared for many years in the war and was most likely dead, Solas was stunned for a while, not knowing where to vent his resentment.
At this time, a passerby casually mentioned that Danas, who had followed the expeditionary force to Draenor, was about to return, and Soras, who still felt guilty about his nephew, decided to go to the Cursed Land to meet him in person.
Saljan patted his forehead with a wry smile: "Calculate the time, Solas should be almost there, I don't know how this reunion across life and death will make Danas feel." ”
"More surprise than joy? Or is it more joy than surprise? ”
