Chapter 10 - Alliance

…………

Uther hasn't panicked for many years, but today Nathanos has made his nerves tense to the limit. Who will lead the coalition? This question is the focus of the entire meeting, but Uther believes that no one except Lothar and Terenas would want to talk about this issue, because the kings have their own little thoughts and will not want to hand over their troops.

"This is indeed the key to solving all problems," said Terenas, his eyes carefully looking at Nathanos and asked him to retreat so that others would not eat him in one bite.

"You are so brave!" Uther glared at him, fortunately Terenas didn't care about his rudeness.

"Someone has to stand up, mentor." Nathanos's indifferent look made Uther a little angry. "The easiest way is often the most direct. Since people here like to push and stop, just give them no way out."

"Do you know that your behavior just now is enough to be exiled?"

"Exile? At least I won't die." Nathanos smiled. Uther breathed a sigh of relief, his apprentice seemed too "fareless" to consider the serious consequences of the matter. Uther was worried about this, but he knew that Nathanos's views on everything became different after returning from Altlank, and even a little unique.

"You threw the problem to them, Nathanos. Everyone here thinks they are qualified to command this joint force and you kick off another argument."

As Uther said, Terenas emphasized that Lordaern was the largest country with the largest number of troops and this time was everyone else he called. And Thorbain said that he had the most practical experience, at least it seemed that Lothar believed the words of the king of the Alpine Kingdom, but Gene opposed that his experience only stayed in war with trolls, and treated orcs like a child. Delin Prodmore mentioned the strength of the Kurtilas Navy, and ships were also a key point for transporting troops and supplies. Gilnis was at the southernmost point,

He believed that he should rule the army because if the tribe advances from land, his kingdom will face attacks first. But in fact, Rapids Castle is truly a country on the front line of the tribe's march, and when the tribe passes through Danmoro from Kazmodan, it will come to this kingdom. Perenod said that although Altlank does not have many troops, he should be wise and foresighted as a commander, and he believes that he has full abilities. This is pure nonsense. If he leads the coalition, Nathanos will definitely escape with his family.

There were two people on the field, and they were not interested in the position of the leader of the coalition. Alonso Fao, whose followers were spread throughout the continent, and he himself was also welcomed by other human kingdoms. Antonidas was the leader of Dalaran. Although he only ruled one city, his people had the power beyond other kingdoms. These two people were obviously a clear stream, and they did not fight for the position of supreme commander, but they both mentioned that it would be useless if an army had no one only leader, no matter what the size of the force was.

Lothar was in a very complicated mood. Faced with these discussions, he was involuntarily pulled into it by others. Anthonydas regarded him as the most familiar person with the tribe. But Gene and Perenod only wanted him to make some suggestions as a bystander. Terenas suggested that his ancestors were once rulers of the continent and that he should have the rights of his ancestors to make some decisions. Most of the time Lothar couldn't tell whether they were laughing at him or respecting him, but he knew very well what most kings wanted from him. He hoped that these discussions would end as soon as possible so that he could come back to the refugees of the Storm Kingdom and try to gather a small army to join the joint army.

Nathanos has discovered that the kings are focusing on Lothar. Some, such as Thorbain, are quite obvious, while others, such as Perenod and Greymann, are doing more covertly. He is not sure what will happen, but he knows Lothar will definitely not like this - no one lets him speak his opinion on his own initiative.

"We're all here, right?" Terenas said, although he could clearly determine the question himself. The king of Lordaeron was not forgetful. "Very good, then, did we all agree to call our troops against the coming tribes, did we all agree to our plan of action?" All the rulers nodded, which surprised Nathanos and Lothar. They were still arguing a few days ago and were a second away from returning to the origin of the problem, when did they reach a consensus? But the king

The next sentence answered his question very clearly, and when Lothar heard the content clearly, he was extremely shocked. "Then, I announce that the Lordaeron Alliance is established! We will fight side by side, just as our ancestors did when they fought against the trolls." The others nodded, and then Terenas continued. "The only suitable commander now will be the one who inherits that sacred bloodline. The kings of the alliance hereby declare that Sir Anduin Lothar, the general of Stormwind, will become our supreme commander!"

Lothar stared at Terenas, and he was blinking at him. "This is the only option," explained the ruler of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, his voice softly making Nathanos sure that he only wanted Lothar to hear these words.

"All of them want to deal with it themselves, and they don't want to see the army of another kingdom entering their territory. You are not a king so they don't think you can get any benefits from it, but your noble bloodline is enough to make them not think they are despised by others." The king leaned forward a little. "I understand that I asked too much from you, and I apologize to you. But if it wasn't for this that really affected our survival, I wouldn't do this, and you warned us. Would you accept this appointment and become the supreme commander of the alliance?" The last sentence was very loud, Terenas's voice became very polite, the whole room was filled with silence and seriousness, and everyone else was waiting for Lothar's answer.

This did not make him think too long, and in fact he had no choice, and Terenas understood this. He could no longer be out of the matter, at least after experiencing the fall of Stormwind. "I accept this appointment," he replied. "I will lead the alliance's army to fight the Horde."

"Very good." Terenas applauded. "We all should prepare our troops, equipment and supplies now. I suggest we will report these situations to Sir Lothar again within a week so that he can know what kind of troops he has and start deploying the war plan."

The kings expressed their agreement with the suggestion with whispers or nods. Each of them came to Lothar to congratulate Lothar and assured him that they would do their best to support the matter, although it seemed that Perenod and Gene were a little lacking in sincerity. Then the kings left, leaving only five people in the room. In addition to Lothar, Kadega, Nathanos and Uther, there were Antonidas, and apparently the president of the Council of Kenreto had some private matters to say.

"I can believe Lothar was eager to get the position, but he wouldn't be happy in such a way."

"Not important, they should go and congratulate him." Uther blinked, and the debate finally ended.
