Chapter 260: New Quel'Thalas Alliance

Richard appeared in the refugee camp. The high elves around him saluted respectfully after seeing Richard: "Greetings to His Excellency, the Father of the Nation."

"No need to be polite, I just came here to take a look, you guys continue to be busy." Richard waved his hand and said, and the high elves around him quickly dispersed.

"You are a human? Why do those high elves call you the Father of the Nation?" Archbishop Fao next to him asked Richard who suddenly appeared.

Richard saw the skeleton in front of him and smiled and said: "You are Bishop Fao, it turns out that the undead have mastered the holy light."

"Who are you? And why are those high elves?" Archbishop Fao asked.

"My name is Richard, an arcane master. As you can see, I am also the Father of the Nation of the High Elves. I came here to see you on the one hand, and to see the princess of Lordaeron on the other hand." Richard said.

"How do you know her identity?" Archbishop Fao said in shock. I really don't know that he, a skull face, can make such an expression.

"It doesn't matter how I know it. What matters is whether you want to rebuild the Kingdom of Lordaeron." Richard said.

"Are you willing to help us rebuild the Kingdom of Lordaeron?" Faol looked at Richard in doubt. They had learned a lesson about the high elves in the Second Orc War. Although the interests between countries were like this, the fact that the high elves were willing to help him now made him feel unreal.

"Don't worry, I don't want to use you to seek any benefits, nor do I want to use you to control Lordaeron." Richard naturally understood Faol's concerns and said it directly.

"You don't want any benefits, so what do you want to do?" Faol was more cautious. If you don't want any benefits, then you want greater benefits.

"I need you to establish an offensive and defensive alliance between the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of the High Elf." Richard said directly.

"Are you serious?" Faol said. If he remembered correctly, the High Elves were the first to withdraw from the Lordaeron Alliance last time.

"Of course I'm serious." Richard said, "Since the last Dark Portal was opened, this world has entered a period of war. The days ahead will only be more chaotic. I want to rebuild a Quel'Thalas Alliance, where everyone can help each other."

"If you really want to form an alliance to help each other, then I can promise you." Faol stared at Richard for a long time, and finally nodded slowly in agreement.

Then Richard and Faol went to meet the princess of Lordaeron, Kalia.

After meeting Kalia, Richard confirmed that there was no problem, and had a brief chat with her, and then promised to help them prepare a batch of food and weapons, so that they could train soldiers here.

And it was agreed that when the time was right, the High Elf Kingdom would help them restore their country. As for the refugees in the camp now, they can recruit them, but they cannot force them to join for any reason or excuse.

Richard has discovered that many refugee camps here are no longer willing to contribute to Lordaeron, so he did not force them. Instead, he discussed with Kalia and Faol and let them govern themselves.

Of course, there are some who are willing to join, and they were not stopped.

Next, Richard asked the high elves to send some magic bread and weapons and equipment. In the kingdom of the high elves, Richard also opened up magic farmland. Now the cultivation has been completed. With the infinite energy of the Sunwell, it can be harvested in a month at most. At that time, the high elves will not be short of food.

Richard supported the princess of Lordaeron because he wanted to recruit all the warlords of all sizes, such as the Crusaders and the Silver Dawn, in her name. Although Lordaeron was destroyed, warlords of all sizes in various places emerged.

Some warlords were raised by the remnants of the Knights of the Silver Hand, but some were raised by nobles from all over the country. If there is no power integration, so many warlords of all sizes will eventually be scattered and defeated one by one.

It is also to restrict some ambitious people, such as Garithos.

Garithos, as the person with the highest military rank in Lordaeron, and he also has a knight group under him, can be said to be the strongest in Lordaeron. Relying on his own knight group, he has gathered a lot of defeated troops and has already formed a team.

With the support of the High Elf Kingdom, Calia began to recruit those small warlords or defeated troops in the name of the Princess of Lordaeron. Although many people in the camp were no longer willing to fight for Lordaeron, there were still people who were willing to listen to the Princess of Lordaeron.

So in just a few days, she gathered an army of 2,000 people. Richard also asked the high elves to give food and weapons as agreed. As the sign of the Princess of Lordaeron spread more and more, more people will definitely come next.

Garithos is constantly gathering refugees and troops. He received news that the Undead Scourge is attacking several other countries, and there are fewer Undead troops left in Lordaeron.

He plans to concentrate more troops to recapture Andorhal or Stratholme in one fell swoop, and then seize the opportunity to capture the capital of Lordaeron. If he can do this successfully, he will be a hero of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

It is entirely possible to build a giant statue in the royal city. Thinking deeper, there should be no one left in the Menethil royal family now. So as the great hero who recovered the Kingdom of Lordaeron, can you go one step further?

Now he is called Grand Marshal Lin, then he can be called Regent, and then King Garithos? Or how about Garithos I? By the way, we need to practice it first. I can't agree to it the first time, otherwise people will think I am impatient.

He needs to refuse twice more to show that he is popular, so that he can become King Garithos.

Garithos didn't know that the Burning Legion had arrived. He just heard that a demon appeared in Dalaran and Dalaran was breached.

If he dared to attack Stratholme, Andorhal or Lordaeron now, he would definitely be discovered by the undead. When Archimonde came, they would lose the city if they tried to seize it again, and there would be heavy casualties.

Just when Garithos was thinking about the future as the past, a message suddenly came: the last heir of the Menethil royal family of Lordaeron, Her Royal Highness Princess Caria, was still alive, and had begun to recruit small warlords from all over the country in the name of the Princess of Lordaeron.

Many people have already gone to surrender.

When he got the news, Garithos's expression was stiff. He finally ended the meeting and when he returned to the room, he finally took off that expression.

God saw pity, he finally took control of the army and became the most powerful noble, only one step away from that position. He had been walking on thin ice all his life, and then a princess suddenly appeared? What should he do? ?

What can he do? He can only send someone to contact and confirm the truth first.

After Archimonde summoned a large number of demons, he attacked several surrounding countries. The north of the eastern continent almost became a scorched earth, and the dwarves also suffered heavy losses.

Archimonde, who had just arrived in the world of Azeroth, vented his anger fiercely. The next thing was to completely destroy this world, and yes, there were also those damn orcs.

That's right, just after Archimonde launched a large-scale attack on the south, the orcs hiding in the mountains and forests fled the eastern continent and took a boat to the Kalimdor continent.

Seeing the orcs fleeing, Archimonde did not intend to let them go, so he ordered Arthas and Kel'Thuzad to lead the remaining undead army to continue to the south to destroy the human countries in the south, while he personally led the Burning Legion to destroy the orcs.

In the ruins of Lordaeron's capital, a large number of undead and demons of the Burning Legion gathered here. As long as Archimonde gave the order, the mighty army would go to Kalimdor.

"Tichondrius, you disappoint me so much!" Archimonde stared at the dreadlord crawling at his feet with cold eyes. This great lord of the Nazrezim clan - Tichondrius.

"What was my order?"

"You were to go to Kalimdor as the vanguard to set up a camp and collect intelligence on the night elves, but what did you two idiots do?"

"The Vanguard was wiped out! Why did you come back then?"

"Lord Archimonde, I am innocent!" Tichondrius shouted in injustice. The destruction of the Vanguard was not his fault. It was all because of that stupid teammate. As soon as he had some advantages, he couldn't help but go wild and taunt, and was directly pushed back by others.

"According to the original plan, we have successfully provoked the conflict between the orcs and the night elves, and tricked the orcs into drinking the blood of Mannoroth, so that the orcs killed the demigod of the night elves."

"The orcs and the night elves were about to fight a big war, but Mannoroth did not listen to my advice and insisted on trying to control the orcs. As a result, he was counterattacked by the crazy orcs and hacked to death."

"According to your plan, we only need to hide behind the scenes, and the night elves will fight the orcs to the death, but the appearance of Mannoroth made both sides realize that they were calculated, so they joined forces to deal with us."

"As a result, the outpost just built here was broken by the elves and orcs."

"Lord Archimonde, you have to believe me, I am your most loyal subordinate." Tichondrius crawled on the ground trembling all over, begging for mercy while telling the story. He put all the responsibility for the failure of the mission on the dead Mannoroth.

Tichondrius's tearful plea was so moving that it made anyone cry and feel sad. Even the undeads beside him were moved, and Archimonde finally spoke.

"Even if what you said is true, why are you the only one who came back from the entire Vanguard? Now the army is going to attack Kalimdor, and there is no time to deal with you. You are responsible for staying in Lordaeron now, and you will make meritorious contributions. When we return victorious, we will decide how to punish you!"

Archimonde kicked the little bat away, and then led the army across the sea to Kalimdor.

Richard has been paying attention to Archimonde's movements, and he does not intend to fight with Archimonde. The main reason is that there is no benefit in killing Archimonde. If Archimonde dies, his soul will return to the twisting void and resurrect, and he will not benefit from it.

Another reason is that he knows that he is going to be in trouble and his head will be hung on the world tree soon, so he will not join in the fun and take the opportunity to form the Quel'Thalas Alliance.

After seeing Archimonde leave, Richard immediately sent envoys to invite all the kingdoms in the eastern continent to discuss the formation of the Quel'Thalas Alliance and then deal with the undead.

In order to hold an alliance meeting and also to show off his strength, Richard brought Sylvanas and 5,000 high elves to Stratholme. With them were the princess of Lordaeron, Kalina, and 5,000 human recruits.

When the battle started, it was completely one-sided. Richard personally eliminated all the fear demons and other high-level demons and undead who were left behind. The remaining five thousand high-level elves were dispatched.

These elves have practiced the Knight Breathing Technique to the level of a great knight, and coupled with their original strength, almost all of them have reached the level of high-level professionals. Five thousand high-level professionals rained down arrows, and the undead in the city fell in droves. High-level undead and demons who dared to show up were immediately killed by Richard.

It only took one day to capture Stratholme, and not one of the five thousand high elves died.

The great strength of the elves shocked the entire Lordaeron.

After Richard announced that he would hold an alliance meeting in Stratholme, everyone agreed. So warlords from all over Lordaeron also came one after another. Of course, I don’t know what Lordaeron will be integrated into in the end.

Half a month after regaining Stratholme, the lords from all over the country finally arrived here. But not all kingdoms came to participate.

By the time Richard and Sylvanas arrived at the parliament hall, many people were already in the hall.

Princess Kalinya of Lordaeron, Grand Marshal Garithos, former Silver Hand, Crusader Commander Dathrohan, High Lord of Eagle's Nest Falstad Wildhammer, but other than these people, there are no other people. Come.

"Your Excellency, the time has come, but there are still many people who have not arrived, do we still have to wait?" Falstad Wildhammer said respectfully, without any arrogance or stubbornness of the dwarves.

The main reason is that I have been shocked by the strength of Richard and the high elves in the past few days. After all, the series of high-level demon heads hanging on the walls of Stratholme City are not fake.

The Kingdom of Gilneas, Kingdom of Stormwind, Ironforge, and Dalaran did not come.

"Information has been received about the Kingdom of Gilneas. The Greymane Wall they originally relied on, which was said to never fall, collapsed under Archimonde's magic. Then they were attacked by Arthas's army. Can we now? It’s still unknown whether we can resist it,” Sylvanas next to her began to explain.

"Dalaran is a parliamentary system. Since the death of Archmage Antonidas, the country has no leader. In addition, its number is very small. Many mages have temporarily defected to other forces, and there are only a few high-level mages. , does not represent Dalaran."

Having said this, Sylvanas paused and continued: "They rejected our invitation in Stormwind City, and the same goes for Ironforge."
