Chapter 235 Kings who disagree
When the front line started to move, kings from various countries in the Royal City of Lordaeron also gathered in the Royal Palace of Lordaeron, anxiously waiting for the news.
This war that swept across the entire Eastern Continent did not spare any country on the Continent. Except for Solas and Daelin who were fighting on the front lines, the kings had temporarily handed over domestic political affairs to trusted ministers or princes. All gathered in the King City of Lordaeron to wait for the latest battle report.
Even King Kael'thas of Quel'Thalas had personally teleported to Lordaeron yesterday, bringing news of Quel'Thalas' dispatch of troops.
The news made the kings of the five human kingdoms heave a sigh of relief. Although the number of troops sent by the high elves was small, they were all elite, and the air force, paladins, rangers and mages were all urgently needed by the alliance today. Arms, with their participation, the kings feel more at ease.
At this time, a heavily armed royal guard walked into the hall and saluted respectfully. After the nods of the kings, he began to read the latest news from the Griffin Knight.
"The Alliance High Command headed by Sir Lothar has predicted the tribe's next move, and it is expected that formal contact with the enemy will begin within 10 days at most."
"oh!"
This news caused some small commotion in the throne hall. The kings either frowned or were happy, and started whispering to each other.
Terenas Menethil, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded calmly, motioned for the guard to step back, then cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, a direct confrontation with the Horde is imminent, I want to know How are our logistics going?"
After all, war is not a trifling matter. The 200,000 troops assembled by the seven nations of mankind consume a lot of food just by eating horses and chewing horses every day. What if the soldiers fighting on the front line do not receive sufficient food supplies and affect their morale? It is the greatest responsibility of their kings.
Since the battlefield has basically been determined to be in the Hillsbrad Hills under the rule of the Kingdom of Alterac, the supply of various materials is usually finally handed over to King Aiden Perenolde for deployment.
The rich King of Alterac nodded at this time and said, "Thanks to the support of all countries, the supplies of the frontline soldiers can now be ensured to arrive smoothly. I assure you that there will be no mistakes."
Although I feel a bit pained by the flow of so many resources from under my nose, but after all, the battlefield is at my doorstep, and Aiden still has a good view of the overall situation as the king of a country. Issued to Lothar's high command.
Moreover, Lothar, as the last blood of Emperor Thoradin, in order to promote the establishment of the alliance, he specifically acknowledged the legitimacy of the seven kingdoms of mankind, which is equivalent to completely giving up his right of succession to the Arathor Empire, and the kings of the seven kingdoms must promise him this love.
But Genn Greymane, King of Gilneas, who has been pursuing an isolation policy since the previous king, seemed a little dissatisfied at this time.
"Hmph! Are those orcs really worth the price we pay to deal with them? Such a huge allocation of resources is not a simple number. You should also know how much this will affect your respective countries, right?"
Kael'thas frowned after hearing Jin's words. The human king's attitude reminded him of some bad things.
When he and the Silvermoon Council made up their minds to help the Alliance resist the Horde, there were inevitably some voices of opposition in Quel'Thalas, mainly from the traditional upper-class nobles.
What surprised Kael'thas the most was Solanlian. The member elected by the aristocratic faction did not follow in the footsteps of the nobles to condemn him. Instead, he explained to officials at all levels together with the members and instructed them to be correct. to guide the tide of public opinion.
'Sure enough, as the king said, this Solanian is very unpredictable, and it seems that she really does not have the same heart as the nobles. '
When Kael'thas lowered his head to think, an old voice began to refute Jinn, "King Jin, the strength of the orc tribe has been best proved in the battle of the Stormwind Kingdom. Is there anything doubtful about it?" ?”
The old man who spoke had a strong arcane aura in his eyes. He was the Dalaran speaker Antonidas whom Kael'thas had contacted many times.
"snort!"
Gene didn't want to fight against Dalaran, so he could only grunt unpleasantly. After all, Dalaran's resource trade related to spells is very important to all countries, and most of the wizards in Gilneas are from Dalaran. It is unwise to fight against Dalaran after being cultivated by Laran.
At this time, Prince Varian Wrynn of the Stormwind Kingdom opened his eyes wide and stared at Gene fiercely. The eyes of the orphan of the Stormwind Kingdom made the thick-skinned Gene feel a little uncomfortable, and he was not easy to get along with. The little ghost who had just suffered the disaster of annihilation had the general knowledge, so he could only look away as if surrendering.
Terenas looked around at the kings of various countries with different expressions and sighed deeply. The kings of all countries are like this. Presumably there are still many people in the seven human kingdoms who do not take the orc invasion seriously.
However, this is good news for Terenas. How can Lordaeron's leadership status be shown without the support of pig teammates? This orc invasion is a crisis for the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but it is also an opportunity.
The talented and bold Terenas has long had the idea of reunifying the nations of mankind into one great empire, but more than a thousand years have passed since the Arathor Empire was split, and each of these split nations has its own It is not easy to unify tradition and culture.
The pressure of the orc invasion gave Terenas an excellent excuse. Now the rudimentary alliance of the empire has been established, and the little prince Varian has a good impression of Lordaeron because of his goodwill. After that, he still needs to Slowly radiate influence to the other five countries.
Of course Terenas is not the kind of idiot who is eager for quick success. This kind of major event of merging other countries must not be facilitated in a short period of time, and everything needs to be considered in the long run.
Now... let's first show Lordaeron's determination and will.
"Everyone, I think the words of Sir Lothar and Prince Varian are not false. The orcs were able to capture the mighty Stormwind Kingdom in just four years. Of course, there was the reason for the half-orc to assassinate King Lane, but The fighting power of the orcs should not be underestimated either."
"If there are still kings who don't believe it, you might as well wait and see. After this head-on battle with the orcs, you should be able to know the first-hand real battle report."
Terenas' words made both Kael'thas and Antonidas nod, and Varian even looked at the old king who taught him like his own father with admiration.
Although Gene and Aiden were very unhappy with Terenas' attitude as the leader of the alliance, they were not idiots, so they could only nod in agreement at this time.
Anyway, it’s easy to know if the mules or horses come out for a walk. If those orcs are just a group of paper tigers, then don’t blame us for taking the opportunity to make trouble.
