Chapter 217 Throne Council (Part 1)
"Dangdangdang—"
The alarm bells representing death and crisis have actually stopped long ago, but the long ringing alarm bells turned into auditory hallucinations, still echoing in the ears of every Lordaeron, every nobleman, and every representative.
This voice is warning the world that the days of peace and ease are gone forever, and cruel and bloody wars are coming.
Without any further hesitation, the representatives of various countries summoned magicians and sent them back to their home countries with costly magic mirror images to transmit everything that happened in the King City of Lordaeron.
The amount of mana gems consumed by such a long, large-scale magic scene is staggering, but this time, no one is stingy with this little money.
In the reconvened meeting, each representative carefully watched the entire series of videos produced by Duke. Duke showed King Terenas and each representative with a huge cubic cone with a side length of more than 10 meters. The brutality and terror of the orcs.
That unrelenting raw madness.
That kind of bloodthirsty and cruel horror killing.
That violent aura that refuses to give up until the last soldier.
Each scene brought a deeper shock to the representatives.
When Duke played the video at the end of the video showing the dead bodies of commoners and nobles in the conquered lands, no matter adults or children, every representative had to admit that this is already a battle for the survival of the race!
After the 5-minute presentation ended, there was no other sound in the conference room except for the sound of gasping for air.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Marcus, can I save a copy of your image and send it back to my king?" It was the representative of Kul Tiras who spoke.
Not only him, other representatives have expressed their hope to get a copy.
"I'm sorry, but this is my unique magic technology, which evolved from Medivh's inheritance. I cannot divide or transfer this magic power, but I can demonstrate it again for your majesty in the magic communication."
Seeing that the general situation was settled, King Terenas of Lordaeron stood up proudly. He first turned his attention to King Llane: "Okay, it seems that we have reached an agreement. Then, I will follow the request of King Llane Wrynn , officially issued an appeal to the remaining five human kingdoms, as well as Quel'Thalas and Ironforge to form an alliance to jointly deal with the offensive of the orc tribes. I hope that within two weeks, I can talk to the kings or the envoys who can represent the king's will Meet in the throne halls of Lordaeron."
In this day and age, traveling as a king has never been a simple matter.
If it is by land or sea, the farthest dwarf may take more than half a month to reach the King City of Lordaeron in the north of the mainland.
Everyone knows that the orcs are on the offensive, so except for those kings who dare to play with the portal, riding a griffin is almost the only choice.
In this era, space teleportation is very unreliable. Mastering the space teleportation magic is no less than asking an ordinary person to choose the only correct sesame seed among a hundred catties of black sesame seeds ten meters away. Not only must the exact coordinates be locked, but also all spatial states from the starting point to the end point must be stable.
Generally speaking, only those whose surrounding space has been strengthened by a large number of spells are suitable as the end point. Such as Dalaran, the capital of magic, or Quel'Thalas of the high elves.
These days, the only ones who dare to play space teleportation all over the world and guarantee that they will never make mistakes are the two Xiri mages Antonidas.
It's settled.
Ryan, Anduin and Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at the State Guesthouse, Anduin asked the morning star mage to do a check to make sure no one would eavesdrop, and then said to Duke seriously: "I know the general situation. It may not be right for me to say this." Inappropriate, I still decided to speak out. As an elder, and as a partner who has experienced life and death together, I would like to remind you that it is best not to contact the guys from MI7 casually. The intelligence agencies directly under the king have always been A king's forbidden place. Ryan is a very generous man, and I know he won't care. I can't guarantee that... well... Varian should be a good king, too."
Speaking of this, Lothar seemed to be upset.
Like a successful fox, Duke squinted his eyes and smiled, and at the same time raised his right palm to swear: "I swear, my scheme will never be used against my own people."
"That's good...wait a minute, you don't consider King Terenas your own?"
"It wasn't before, but it is now."
For Duke's answer, Lothar really lost his temper.
At this time Ryan came in, and there seemed to be unresolved sadness between his brows.
"Lian, what's the matter?" Lothar seemed a little casual when there was no fourth person in the room.
"No, I'm still thinking about one question. The formation of the alliance seems to be imperative. But... who will be the leader of the alliance?"
"Uh, isn't it Your Majesty Menethil?" Lothar froze for a moment.
Duke secretly sighed, Lothar was really too naive.
In October, the breath of autumn is getting stronger day by day. Whether it is the increasingly abundant ears of rice in the rice fields or the heavy fruits on the branches, it is a sign that this year's harvest will be good. This year when the war broke out, the northern continent can usher in a bumper harvest, which is considered a very good result.
Receiving that the new fields opened near the refugee camp in the Hillsbrad Hills may also have a good harvest, Ryan and Anduin both walked over and patted Duke on the shoulder.
This is simply incredible.
If Duke hadn't opened up the fields first and then asked the Barov family to get permission, if Duke hadn't "willed to go his own way" and forced all the horses in the army to make do with it to reclaim the cultivated land, if Duke hadn't bought them at high prices from everywhere The returning cattle.
This is simply impossible.
If there are no accidents, a batch of summer grain will be harvested at the end of the month. This eased the food crisis near Nanhai Town. Even though Duke’s first batch of 5,000 tons of grain bought at a high price sounds like a lot, with a large amount of fish caught, it is only enough to feed nearly half a million people for two months.
However, the people of Hillsbrad now have a new saying that the Kingdom of Stormwind is actually preparing to occupy this land.
What the fuck did you see when the refugees opened fields and filled the entire area?
From the edge of South Sea Town to the foot of the Alterac Mountains, almost every inch of the plain has been reclaimed. Every wild wolf in the mountains is used as a tooth-beating sacrifice. A cave full of snowmen... Now the snowman is naturally slaughtered, and then the caves are used to store food for the winter.
However, the news that the countries were going to form an alliance came from above, and all the objections below were suppressed.
On October 8, a large number of dignitaries rushed to the King City of Lordaeron.
This meeting, hailed by later generations as the most important alliance-building meeting, was finally officially held.
