CHAPTER IX - SECOND MEETING
…………
The kings whispered, expressing doubts about Lothar's life experience.
Nathanos whispered to Uther: "It seems that King Terenas knows the situation of various countries privately, otherwise he would not know Lothar's true identity, and he even hid it from you."
"I really didn't expect it. I thought the Arathi bloodline had disappeared."
"This is a shot in the arm. The question is whether the kings are willing to recognize Lothar's identity."
Uther nodded in agreement with Nathanos: "Unless Lothar only asks for union, not submission."
After a short discussion
"So you are here to demand control of us?" Jean asked, his expression gloomy, showing that he himself did not agree with this.
"No," Lothar assured him. "My ancestors abandoned this land a long time ago when they left here, but I still have a close connection with it."
"Lotha can still rely on the ancient contract to provide us with support." Tyrelas pointed out. "The elves of Quel'Thalas in the north once swore to provide help when Thoradin or his descendants are in need. I
I think they will still abide by this oath."
"Elf!" Nathanos couldn't help but clenched his fists after hearing Terenas' words from behind.
Uther knew that there was some gap between Nathanos and the elves. He did not try to appease Nathanos. He knew that Nathanos did not hate the anger of the elves, but was more unconvinced.
From the cherished looks and whispers shown by most people, it can be seen that Lothar is no longer just a general or a commander in their eyes. He will now be an ambassador who can contact the elves.
If that ancient, magic-savvy race could join forces with them, the tribe would no longer look as unstoppable as it once did, at least Khadgar thought so.
"This will be very good news." Perenold commented coldly. "I think maybe we should have enough time to consider the news we have received, which will affect the new threats we face and the protection we have."
Our kingdom is very useful."
"You are right." Terenas said, as if he was not going to ask anyone else's opinion. "The food has been prepared in the restaurant, and now I invite all of you to dine with me, like neighbors and
Friends alike. Let us not discuss these matters during the meal, but consider them seriously alone. This may be a better way to digest what is put before us, whether it is food or a threat."
Khadgar shook his head as the kings nodded, and began to walk towards the door.
"Perenold is so cunning. When he realized that the situation was beginning to tilt toward Lothar's side, he immediately found an excuse to interrupt the meeting."
"You always have to think on the bright side, kid. Maybe after lunch he will announce that he will reconsider Lothar's suggestion. In this way, he can avoid losing face and not be in a lower position in the alliance that is about to be established."
When the kings walked out of the room, Nathanos suddenly noticed something appearing and disappearing quickly. He turned his head and found two heads protruding from a high balcony. One of them had a
With dark hair, he recognized Prince Varian. He looked much cleaner now than when he first came here. Although the heir of the Kingdom of Stormwind was young, he still wanted to know what was discussed in this meeting.
Another child who looks younger and has light hair is standing behind Varian. He has the same identity as Varian. Prince Arthas. Nathanos heard Uther mention it a few days ago.
Arthas also midwifed a mare at Barnir Farm. It seemed that the equally young prince also wanted to know what his father and the others were planning. Why not? There was always something in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
One day it will become his, if nothing unexpected happens.
Two days after the first meeting, the kings began their second interview. Nathanos found himself standing in the throne room of Lordaeron with the rulers of those continents again. This time he was extremely reluctant, but Wu
Seer told him in an almost commanding tone that he must be there because something important that would go down in history might happen today.
Lothar and Khadgar also came here. Lothar was very happy about Khadgar's participation. This young wizard was known to Lothar from Elwynn Forest. Although he was not a resident of the Kingdom of Stormwind,
It also reminded Lothar of his hometown.
Hometown, a place that no longer exists. Lothar knew that in many ways he had to admit this, but it still seemed so unreal. He still hoped to turn around and see Ryan laughing, or maybe
Hear the sounds of his warriors fighting. But all is gone, his friends are dead, and his home has fallen. He vows that he will save his home from the darkness, even if it means
He would not hesitate to spend the rest of his life.
Nathanos, on the other hand, didn't care about this parliament at all. There were only two words highlighted in it, politics. Nathanos had no patience for this thing. He knew very well that anything involving power was nothing more than politics.
This is a game, and the kings in front of them are all strategists of the game. The only thing that remains unchanged is that no one is the real winner in the game. The strongest guy will always try to maintain his results as much as possible. Just Nathano
It seems to Si that the rulers of these continents are very skilled in playing this game, and dealing with these problems with these people will give Lothar a headache.
After the first meeting, they returned to the throne room for more discussions during the second meeting. It seemed that everyone agreed with the idea that the Horde was coming, even the very smooth Perenold, but he
It may be that he simply agreed with others. Nathanos believed that the kings must have communicated privately in the past few days, or reached some agreement. They must have asked their cronies to weigh the pros and cons.
Lothar now began to explain to everyone that uniting the army was the only way. Terenas immediately agreed. Fortunately, Trollbane and Proudmoore also quickly agreed, although it took some time.
To convince them. However, Perenolde and Greymane are more difficult. Lothar was not surprised at all by Perenolde's reluctance. He was just like some of the guys in Stormwind City before, tactful, malicious, and
He always likes to stay away from the crowd. Perhaps Perenold is personally afraid of this war. He was forced to get involved in this theme. Others are undoubtedly more brave than him. However, Greimai
En's decision was an accident. The man's strong body and the thick armor on his body showed that he was undoubtedly a warrior. He did not say that he did not want to fight, but whenever the topic of this war came up, he quickly
He made other suggestions. In his opinion, Terenas's willingness to agree to Lothar's suggestion must have been discussed privately between the two of them. Genn never believed that Terenas would selflessly help Stormwind City.
Of course, Perenolde had always emphasized the need for as detailed an investigation as possible, and in short did not want to get involved in this war. It was only when Proudmoore and Trollbane accused Genn of being cowardly that the stout man agreed with Lothar.
.
The day was almost here, and their conversation gradually turned to logistical issues, such as which armies would be assembled, how they would be assembled, where they would be placed, how supplies would be provided to them, and so on. Lothar found that the meeting was more complex than he had imagined.
It will be difficult. As the leading general of Stormwind City, he will certainly solve these problems, but he is only dealing with the army of one country. Now they are discussing issues about five countries, and all kings have their own opinions.
In order to satisfy the kings, Lothar had made the greatest concession, and he did not even count the survivors of the Stormwind Kingdom that he might summon.
"Actually, there is only one simplest and most direct way to solve this problem."
While everyone was discussing, a voice sounded, high-pitched but calm, echoing in the council hall, and everyone looked over curiously.
"Nathanos, what are you doing?" Uther's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the person who said this was his apprentice. This was the council of kings, and anyone who interrupted was an insult to the king.
Their disrespect.
"Just end this meeting early." Nathanos turned his head and looked at the mentor with an ugly face. He knew that he must be very rude now.
"What? Who are you?" asked Genn, who was about to propose that his army be stationed in the southern part of Gilneas.
"I am just an adviser to solve the troubles of everyone here." Nathanos bowed deeply. This was not a respect for the kings, but to prevent them from saying things like "You are not qualified to speak here."
Terenas knew this young man, Uther's apprentice, and he often praised Nathanos in his ears. Uther was sure that Nathanos would be the pillar of Lordaeron in the future. He wanted to
Know whether the intuition of the people you trust most is genuine.
"Then why not tell me your suggestion."
"Of course, Your Majesty. The easiest way is to immediately elect a generalissimo to command the coalition forces. Sooner or later, this issue will be discussed anyway, but I found that the answer to this question can solve two problems, one of which includes the topic you are discussing.
