In response to Varian's question, Sarren and Kael'thas glanced at each other, and the Sun King's eyes showed a subtle look in his eyes.

"Yes."

Salian smiled and said, "Actually, it's not so mysterious, it's just that Quel'Salas planted a spy in Stratholme City in advance, and he can spy on the intelligence of the rear of the Scourge Legion at close range. ”

"About the espionage...... Salian looked apologetically at Galia, "Quel'Salas needs to apologize to Lordaeron." ”

Jia Lia waved her hand disappreciably: "This kind of thing is actually done by everyone, as long as the spy's behavior is not on the line, there is no need to put it on the table." ”

As a party, Caria said so, and Varian didn't want to continue to ask about espionage.

But the shrewd king, who had endured hardships in his early years and had inherited the throne at a young age, still had doubts in his mind.

"Duke of the Deep Shadow and Queen Galia, with all due respect, the city of Stratholme ...... Are there any people alive? ”

After Arthas completely revealed the fact that he had already joined the Scourge Legion, the high-level leaders of the alliance countries, including Galia, subconsciously believed that Stratholme, as the base camp of the Scourge Legion in the Eastern Kingdom, had already become a paradise for the undead.

But this is not the case.

Sarjan patiently explained to Caria, Varian, and others, who were also concerned about the matter, "There are still people alive in Stratholme, and according to what our intelligence agents have heard, it was Baron Rivendell, Lord of Stratholme, who proposed to the Lich King to save them. ”

"Baron Rivendell......"

Galia rubbed her temples with a bit of a headache: "To be honest, I still don't understand why he took refuge in the undead, judging from the way I talked and behaved when I met him, he didn't look like that kind of ambitious lord. ”

"About that." Salaan sighed softly, "Quel'Salas has heard some information. ”

"In a word, Baron Titus Rivendell joined the Scourge out of an instinct for survival."

Jialia asked suspiciously, "Survival?" Could it be that the Scourge is threatening him with the safety of his family? ”

"Not really."

Sarjan shook his head and corrected, "The current Baron of Rivendell has been suffering from illness since he was a child, and was once considered by the priest not to live to be 20 years old. ”

"It's not as easy to face the death that may come at any time, survival is a human instinct, and the Rivendell family has tried every means to try to extend Titus's life."

"It was at this time that the former Archmage of Dalaran and Councillor of Kenrito appeared at Kel'thugad."

"As far as I know, Stratholme is the home of Kel'thugad before he left for Dalaran to further his studies, and he and Titus have been friends since childhood."

Having said this, everyone present subconsciously followed Sarren's gaze to look at the current Kenrito Speaker Ronin.

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment before scratching his head and confirming: "According to Dalaran's records, Kel'thugad's hometown is indeed Stratholme. ”

Sarjan continued, "At this stage, Baron Rivendell has not yet fully transformed himself into an undead, and I guess he is trying to avoid being forcibly controlled by the Lich King with the Helm of Domination after being completely undead. ”

"After all......" The corners of Sarian's mouth curled into a meaningful smile, "The pursuit of free will is the nature of all intelligent beings, right?" ”

"Maybe it's out of the desire to keep some of my compatriots for myself until the last minute."

"Baron Rivendell steadfastly rejected Arthas's proposal to turn the city of Stratholme into the undead, and with the help of his old friend Kel'thugad, persuaded the Lich King to hold off."

There is a reason why Sarian deliberately pointed out this key information at this time, laying the groundwork for the future whitewashing of Baron Rivendell.

"Don't look at the power of the Scourge Legion, it seems that all the power is in the hands of the Lich King who holds the Helm of Domination, in fact, in my opinion, there are many hidden dangers within them."

Sarjan snapped a finger and said, "First of all, Arthas, who is not completely in control of his will, but who continues to be affected by the whispers of the Lich King. ”

"Then there is the Great Lich Kel'thugad, who has all the trust of the Lich King and is above ten thousand people under one person, and he is also unaffected by the Helm of Dominion."

"Finally, Baron Titus Rivendell, who has not yet been transformed into an undead, and Solas Torbain and Alonsos Fao, who are outside the Helm of Domination's spiritual network."

"Arthas, who holds the sword Frost Grief, has long been shrouded in darkness, but that doesn't mean he and the Lich King Neozu are of the same mind, especially ......"

Salian hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile: "If he knew that Naozu was just a container for his soul, the arrogant Arthas would definitely not sit still." ”

"On the other hand, based on the information we have, it seems that Kel'thugard and Baron Rivendell, two well-known friends, also have other ideas about the future of the Scourge Legion."

"If we can find the right crux of the problem and give them enough benefits, we may be able to find a way to turn them against them from within the undead."

"Combined with the actions of Solas and Fao, we will be able to completely strip the Scourge from the hands of the Light Pole Commander Naozu, and return free will to all the undead manipulated by the Helm of Domination."

"Hmmm......"

Jialia frowned and lowered her head in deep thought: "Very bold plan, does Duke Deep Shadow want to include the undead in the camp of the defenders of Azeroth?" How sure are you? ”

Sarian spread his hands and said: "I'm not sure for the time being, after all, there are still many situations that are still unclear at this stage, but we might as well work in this direction." ”

"Akmund, who has learned the information of the World Tree, will inevitably lead the main force of the Burning Legion across the sea to Kalimdor, and as soon as the demons leave, the biggest enemy facing the Eastern Kingdom is the Scourge Legion with someone behind it."

"Until the Lich King and the Burning Legion completely tear their faces apart, let's make a plan based on this situation, and then improvise according to the subsequent changes in the situation."

For the Alliance, whose core strength is located in the Eastern Kingdoms, the Burning Legion that is about to cross west will not be their turn to worry about for the time being, and the Night Elves, an ancient powerhouse on the other side of the sea, will find a way to solve the crisis brought by Akmund.

The Scourge Legion, which had been gathering strength until now, had suddenly become a sweetheart, and both Azeroth and the Burning Legion wanted to bring this army of the undead under their control, and the current Lich King Neozu would not sit idly by.

This three-way tug would become the mainstream of the situation in the Eastern Kingdom for a long time to come, but the battle in this area was more concentrated below the table.

Considering the total number of troops that the Scourge Legion has at this stage, which has not yet rolled the snowball, the number of troops that the Alliance needs to use is really not too much.

Not to mention that Alsace also took a group of natural disaster elites and quickly returned to Northrend to save them.

With this in mind, Sarayan made a second suggestion.

Gather the remaining forces and sail to Kalimdor to provide the necessary help to the Nighttime Republic in the face of the pressure of Akmund.

It is true that the Night Elves who have survived for more than 10,000 years have a profound heritage, and their power is far greater than that of any other country in the Eastern Kingdoms.

But it is unlikely that the mortal Night Elves alone will be able to defeat the main forces of Akmund and the Burning Legion.

In the original history, the Night Elves were aided by the New Horde and the remnants of a part of the alliance led by Gianna, and it was only at great cost that they killed Akmund.

The Dark Night Republic, which had reformed its government in advance, would theoretically be more powerful than the original history, but don't forget, they had a great battle with the Naga controlled by Enzos not long ago.

The Night Elves are also immortal, and it is not so easy to recover the lost population, after this plus and minus, the national strength of the Night Republic should be not much different from that of the Night Elves of the same period in the original history.

In order to avoid a butterfly effect that would make the situation unmanageable, Sarean deliberately balances the military forces of the two continents.

However...... As Sarren expected, the vast majority of the kings present showed little interest in his proposal.

With the exception of Dalaran and Kurtiras, who are close to Quel'Thalas, the rest of the world has only given some leftovers in a symbolic way.

One thing to say, it's not that Sarean is incomprehensible to their thoughts.

Compared with the crisis that cannot be seen from far away from the other side of the sea, the safety of one's hometown is more important.

While Sarren's analysis and plan are true, who can guarantee that the situation will develop the way he predicted?

What if he can't provoke the infighting of the Scourge Legion, and if Nao Zu takes out the back hand left by Akmund with great might, and boldly attacks the Eastern Kingdom with the main force?

If the troops at hand are not enough, these kings always feel unsteady in the face of unexpected situations.

'Hey~'

Although he had expected it in his heart, seeing this scene with his own eyes, Salian was still a little helpless.

'After all, do you want to go back to the old ways and put the hope of reinforcing Kalimdor on the orcs......

After the meeting ended, Salam and Kael'thas walked out of the League Chamber side by side.

With Kael'tham's comfort, Sarjan, who had prepared both hands in advance, quickly regained his fighting spirit.

"Anyway, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while."

"It was for this moment that I painstakingly persuaded Dai Lin to postpone the attack on the leaderless orcs."

I have to say that historical inertia is really amazing.

Not long ago, Backlight Blade sent a piece of news from the Hillsbride Hills that surprised Sarren.

The Old Horde's Grand Chieftain, Orgrim Doomhammer, was unaware of an ambush as he breached Hillsbride's largest and last orc shelter.

Although the location of his death was different from the original history, Orgrim still died before the dawn of the Horde's rebirth, and before he died, he gave up his armor and weapons, as well as the position of the Grand Chieftain, to the young Frostwolf Chieftain Gouyel.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Sarren's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Luo Ning, who also had a flickering eye not far away.

"It's time for Gu Yin'er to fulfill the destiny that should belong to him."
