Chapter 222 The opening of the turbulent era
In the meeting hall of the Tower of Sunfury, almost all the high-level officials of Quel'Thalas have gathered here, including Crisha and Luti, the son of the night. The leader, King Kael'thas, frowned and listened to the Silver Moon Councilor— A report from the Great Astromancer Solanlian.
"It has been confirmed that Azeroth's space barrier has been torn out of a small crack, although it is not enough to allow the large demons of the Burning Legion to pass through directly, but..."
Kelthas waved his hand when he saw Solanlian hesitated to speak, "Don't be shy, just speak up!"
"Yes... a disgusting and chaotic breath came from the other end of the space channel, and it has been preliminarily confirmed that it is the evil energy recorded in the classics."
As soon as Solanlian's words fell, the entire conference hall fell into a deathly silence. The five Silver Moon councilors frowned in unison, and the generals of the major legions present also clenched their fists.
After a long time, Kael'thas sighed, "Hey... It seems that the Burning Legion has indeed found a way to re-enter Azeroth."
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, the new Sun King suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the state advisor beside him who had not spoken.
"Earl Theron, what do you think of the invasion of this group of chaotic creatures?"
Hearing this, Charlemagne nodded slightly to the boss present and said, "I don't dare to jump to conclusions until I see them with my own eyes, but although it has been confirmed that it is the work of the Burning Legion, this group of unknown creatures should only be their vanguard. Or cannon fodder, how about His Majesty sending someone to investigate first before making a decision?"
Now that the orcs have just entered Azeroth, although most powerful individuals can feel it, they are not the Burning Legion's own team after all, and it is a question mark how much vigilance each race can raise.
Since this is the case, it is better to let the Sun King send people to see these orcs who have crossed the world with their own eyes, so as to have a basic understanding of the fighting power of this invading race in their hearts.
As for taking the lead in forming an alliance... just thinking too much, since Quel'Thalas has only been open to the outside world for less than 2 years, you want to call on everyone to fight the orcs together? Wash and sleep, there is everything in the dream.
And the location of the orc invasion was also chosen very cleverly. The Dark Portal opened by Medivh was located in the black swamp in the south of the eastern continent. The only country in the southern part of the continent other than the Gurubashi trolls was the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Because the Stormwind Kingdom had a wrong estimate of the strength of the orcs, they were basically being suppressed and beaten by the orcs in the early stage of the war. The northern countries did not want to send troops to help because of their irrelevant attitude, let alone Deathwing secretly. spreading rumors...
"Based on the current national strength of the Eastern Continent, there are only two countries that can call for a joint fight against the enemy, Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind. However, because the Kingdom of Stormwind is isolated in the south, it has not had close relations with the northern countries. I just started to make connections, I'm afraid..."
Charlemagne's words made Kael'thas, Osis and the others nodded, of course they knew this.
Relationships between countries also need to be managed. For example, if a relative you haven’t seen for a long time suddenly comes to borrow a large sum of money from you one day to save your life, what will the borrowed party think? But what if it is replaced by relatives who usually come and go closely and know each other well?
Of course, if the Stormwind Kingdom is willing to spend money hard, it does not mean that the northern countries will not be able to send troops, but judging from the corruption of the Stormwind Kingdom in recent years... It may be even more difficult to get those nobles to pay this war tax. .
In short, the result of the Battle of Black Gate should not have changed much compared to the original one. Charlemagne is not a saint. He insisted on harming the interests of Quel'Thalas and suggested that Kael'thas send troops to help the Kingdom of Stormwind.
At least until the countries clearly see the threat of the orcs, he doesn't think the Alliance of Lordaeron will be established so easily.
Osis opened his eyes at this time and said, "I also agree with Earl Theron, just send a few scouts to investigate. At least at this stage, the astrologers have not felt the entry of the Burning Legion army."
"Yes."
The six members of the Silver Moon Council agreed with Charlemagne's proposal one after another. Although the generals were more belligerent, they weren't the kind of reckless men who disregarded the interests of the country. Still think about how to fight trolls.
The abnormal behavior of the Amani trolls in recent years, no matter how stupid the elves are, they can guess that they have plans. They always have to solve the crisis at their own door before they have time to help others.
Kael'thas finally made a decision, stood up and issued an order loudly, "General Windrunner, please send 100 rangers from the ranger army to the Kingdom of Stormwind to investigate, make sure the rangers pay attention to their own safety, and strive to kill the invading race Bring back detailed information."
"Chairman Dawn and Councilor Huomang, you two went to Thunder Bluff and Thunder Totem respectively to tell the Tauren of the two races about the situation of the Burning Legion."
"Morning Walker Councilor, I will leave the night elves to you. At least let them know the approximate location of this rift."
"Ms. Moon County and General Shadow, please continue to try to contact Suramar. We will definitely need the combat power of the Nightborne in the near future."
"Generals, please return to your own legions to prepare for battle. I have a hunch that we are not far from war."
"yes!"
After the high-level leaders took their orders and left, Charlemagne also bowed to King Kael'thas and took Cirvanas back to Fengxing Village.
Kael'thas teleported to the top of the Tower of Sunfury alone, and the royal mages bowed their heads respectfully and insisted on coming down to the side of the tower to watch the exquisite and magnificent Silvermoon City below.
"The era of turmoil is finally coming..."
————————
Charlemagne did not stay long when he returned to the Traveling Village. After bidding farewell to General Ranger, he teleported to the sharpshooter camp in Highmountain alone again. Immorel, Monton, Brand and others were already waiting anxiously in the hall. with.
Seeing Charlemagne coming, Immorel immediately stood up and asked a little nervously, "Are they here?"
Charlemagne nodded heavily, "Although it is only the cannon fodder of the Burning Legion for the time being, you can feel this chaotic energy, right?"
"Phew...is that really the case?"
Although they had already made some psychological preparations, the members of the Hidden Path all had solemn expressions after hearing the exact news with their own ears.
Emeril stood up and said, "Since the Burning Legion has invaded again, we have to start our own work in the Hidden Path. Everyone, please be ready to fight at any time. I will personally lead some members to the eastern continent to investigate. .”
"yes!"
But before Emeril leads the crowd to set off, she still has one important thing to do.
Considering the danger of this operation, she decided to formally hand over the position of leader of the Hidden Passage to Charlemagne.
