Chapter 323
By then, if Stormwind City does not receive the support of all the nations of the entire Eastern Kingdom, its fall will be its only end.
King Ryan knew this too, so while continuing to deploy his defenses, he was actively making arrangements for future wars.
On the one hand, he once again appealed to the kingdoms of the north for help, urging them to send reinforcements to save the Kingdom of Stormwind.
On the other hand, he was also prepared that the alliance could not be established for a long time, and the reinforcements would never arrive. He had already begun recruiting the civilians of Stormwind, placing them in large numbers to build ships.
This arrangement served two birds with one stone. It not only made full use of the surplus manpower that had poured into Stormwind City after the invasion of the orcs, relieved the security pressure of Stormwind City, but also provided help for the material exchanges between Stormwind City and the northern countries.
These newly built transport ships can not only increase the efficiency of the support materials of the northern countries, but also can become the last resort for the army and civilians of the Stormwind Kingdom to evacuate Stormwind City at a critical moment.
Just as both humans and orcs were actively preparing for the next war, Stormwind City received an unexpected visitor.
The visitor was a young mage - of course, not as young as Ye Ting - somewhat rebellious and full of curiosity. He claimed to be the apprentice of Guardian Medivh.
His name was Khadgar, the hapless man sent to Karazhan by the Kirin Tor.
And now, the hapless man has some surprising news.
Medivh betrayed humanity, and it was the Guardians who brought the orcs to Azeroth.
The news was too shocking, but Khadgar's identity made them disbelieve him - not everyone could be a guardian magic apprentice.
Finally, on this issue, an overnight meeting was held in the palace of Stormwind City, during which a heated debate broke out between the king and Khadgar.
After all, it is too surprising news. There are not many people participating in this meeting, mainly King Ryan, Khadgar, Anduin Lothar, Ye Ting and Garona.
Among them, King Ryan and General Lothar are Medivh's good friends since childhood, while Ye Ting participated in the meeting as the representative of Dalaran. Since Garona was from Draenor and had traveled through the Dark Portal herself, she also participated in the meeting.
During the meeting, Khadgar vividly described what he saw and heard in Karazhan, and how he saw through the secrets of Medivh from Karazhan's changing space-time visions.
One more word here.
Karazhan in Deadwind Pass is Medivh's magic tower. As a guardian, Medivh's reason for building the magic tower here is to monitor and drive out the demons that invaded Azeroth.
Karazhan's location is exactly a weak node in Azeroth. Through this node, you can even enter the astral world - or it is called the Twisting Nether - through this chaotic realm, you can travel to and from various worlds, of course, only It belongs to the world of the World of Warcraft.
Such a node is a good entrance for demons to invade Azeroth. So, Medivh built his magic tower here, which is convenient for monitoring and expelling them nearby, and at the same time researching and exploring the astral world. Therefore, Medivh is also known as the astral mage.
And also because of the space nodes, some chaotic time fragments can often be seen here. Some fragments come from the past, some from the future, and some from parallel worlds. Through the fragments, many illusions can be seen, and illusions reveal the past. What has happened, what will happen in the future, and what is likely to happen.
Khadgar's source of intelligence, it is these illusions.
In front of everyone, Khadgar told everything: the visions of Karazhan, Medivh's bizarre behavior, Sargeras who appeared in Karazhan but was once thought to be an illusion, and Medivh's summoning of orcs to attack Azer Russ' incrimination.
However, Ryan's stance is equally firm when it comes to dealing with astral mages.
"There have been countless people trying to tell me that Medivh is crazy," Lane said. "He has a plan, lad. That's all. I can't count how many times I've heard this, saying he Going crazy again or doing something weird and Lothar is here nervously worried if he's losing a hair... but it turns out he's right every time, we just don't understand it at first ."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty," Khadgar said. "Perhaps the Astral Mage has a bigger plan, but the question is, do Stormwind and Azeroth really have a place in his plan?"
Ye Ting also added: "In fact, Dalaran has long suspected Medivh. Some time ago, almost all members of the Tirisfal Council died because of accidents of this kind, but I don't I believe that there could be some terrible accident that caused so many archmages to die in a row, and we have always suspected that there is a man behind it, and Medivh is one of the suspects."
In fact, although the members of the Tirisfal Council did die, Dalaran did not suspect Medivh because of this. Those guys had long been dissatisfied with their existence as subordinates of the Tirisfal Council, and they wished these old guys would die soon.
Ye Ting mentioned these at this time, just to enhance the persuasive power of his words.
Beside Ye Ting, Garona also described the Dark Portal, as well as some of Gul'dan's encounters in Draenor, many of which are similar to what Khadgar said, Medivh's temptation of orcs to attack Azeroth. Facts match.
So for most of the next night, King Ryan has been reiterating his firm stance on this issue - Medivh will never betray, he must be immersed in some of his big plans that mortals can't understand.

Compared to Ryan, who firmly believed in Medivh, Lothar, another good friend of the astral mage, was present, but remained silent most of the time, occasionally interrupting the meeting to ask a few related questions, and waiting for Khadgar to tell him the answer. Will keep shaking his head.
Finally, he spoke.
"Lane, don't let your sense of security fool you!" he said, "and, if Medivh can't be counted as our ally, then we don't even have the confidence to deal with the orcs, so let's listen. What they said!"
Lothar was right. The only one who supported Ryan in fighting until now was very confident. Apart from the possible support from other countries, there was only Medivh.
This powerful mage has helped the Kingdom of Stormwind solve problems more than once, and although Medivh often mentioned that as a guardian should not intervene in disputes between mortals in Azeroth, he still helped Lane defeat the trolls of Gurubashi .
However, even Lothar failed to convince Ryan.
"I am listening," said the king, "not only with my ears, but with my heart. We have been with Medivh for so many years, before he fell asleep, and after he fell asleep. He always remembered his friends. If one day everyone can understand his thoughts, I bet you will be very honored that we have such a good friend."
The slumber that Lane mentioned refers to an experience Medivh had when he was young, and the reason for the slumber was Sargeras' attempt to control Medivh.
Finally, the king stood up and dismissed the talks, promising to consider the current state of affairs carefully.
In this regard, Khadgar expressed considerable disappointment.
He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep, and the frustration kept him pacing the room the rest of the night. When sleepiness finally enveloped him, there was an untimely knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he found that three people were already waiting for him at the door.
The man at the head was Lothar, fully armed, carrying his famous great sword "Quelzaram" on his back, and a uniform on his arm.
Beside him was Ye Ting in a gorgeous robe. This robe was different from the usual dress, and Khadgar recognized it at a glance. It was a battle robe from Dalaran.
The other companion was a green-skinned woman, Khadgar knew, this was Archmage Lever—that is, Ye Ting's entourage, the half-orc Garona, she was a very good stalker, with a black body. The tights outlined the girl's wild curves, but Khadgar didn't dare to look at it, because the pair of sharp and extraordinary daggers in the girl's hands gave him a sense of death-like horror.
"You're going to sleep here?" Lothar smiled and handed Khadgar the uniform. "Put it on and see you at the top of the tower in fifteen minutes. Hurry up, lad."
The uniform was that of the castle guards, and was of poor quality and fit, like the usual uniforms, and was used to allow Khadgar to get past the outpost.
Khadgar took the uniform in disgust, then looked at Ye Ting and Garona, as if asking, "Why don't they wear this?"
Seeing Khadgar's eyes, Ye Ting smiled slightly and cast the invisibility technique on himself. In the magic flash, his body gradually became transparent and invisible.
Garona also lowered her body slightly and skillfully hid in the shadows.
"Well, I'm the worst." Khadgar laughed at himself, accepting the fact.
The outfit also includes trousers and boots and an outer blue tabard featuring the lion of Azeroth, and an epee.
Khadgar hurriedly put on them, put the sword behind his back without any trouble, and walked towards the top of the tower.
There are more than six griffins entrenched on the top of the tower, and they stretch their huge wings, showing an expression of impatient waiting.
Griffons originated from the Wildhammer dwarves. Although the griffins of Stormwind Kingdom are not enough to form an army, they can barely serve as a means of transportation for messengers. Now, they have other functions.
Lothar walked quickly to the Griffin, adjusting the position of the sword on Khadgar's back so that he could ride more comfortably.
"Your Majesty," Lothar said vaguely, "is a little too confident in his friends. But that doesn't prevent a good person from privately solving for him what he thinks wrong."
"Like us," Khadgar said bitterly.
