Live broadcast: Azeroth Chapter 1040 The Lich King’s frustration
Speaking of this Prince of Gilneas, Sharlayan was also quite emotional.
In the original history, due to the scourge of werewolves within and the onslaught of the Forsaken outside, Liam Greymane died heroically to protect his father while resisting the invasion of the Banshee King.
According to the evaluation of the barrage, even just through the description of the scale claw in the werewolf novice mission, it can be seen that Prince Liam is far wiser than his stubborn father.
Unfortunately, Prince Liam died young in the original history, and Jean, who became the Wolf Queen and was filled with revenge and rage, could only continue to drag his old body on the battlefield.
According to Kael'thas, due to the rapid changes in the international situation in recent years, Genn Greymane himself has noticed that his way of thinking has begun to fail to keep up with the changes of the times.
Among the kings of the same generation who gathered with Genn to talk, Laon Wrynn unfortunately died of an assassination, Aiden Perenold was sentenced to death for betraying humanity, and Thoras Trollbane was also killed by his biological son.
Killed by stabbing in the back.
The experiences of the above three people were the most tragic among all kings.
Then came Kirin Tor Speaker Antonidas. He was lucky enough to find a suitable successor and heir to the mantle. He retired with peace of mind and stopped caring about worldly matters, planning to spend the last part of his old age smoothly.
Terenas, who was once regarded as a lifelong enemy by Jean, has also died of illness. Only Daelin, who has been traveling around the world all year round and has a relatively open mind, can still grasp the context of the times.
However, according to the intelligence obtained by Jean, Dai Lin has begun to step up his efforts to cultivate a successor in the past two years, and he has obviously decided to quit.
After his eldest son Drake died in battle and his eldest daughter Jaina had no interest in the throne, Daelin could only place his hopes on his youngest son Tandre.
Looking around, he was the only king of the seven human kingdoms who had been drinking and chatting together at the beginning, and now he was the only one who still firmly held the throne.
Let alone Stromgarde, who has no one to inherit the throne, it can only be managed reluctantly by the Regent Council for the time being, waiting hard for the return of King Danath Trobane on the other side of the Dark Portal to turn the tide.

Alterac, Stormwind Kingdom, Lordaeron and Dalaran have all had younger generations inherit supreme power, and Daelin seems to have this plan as well.
Even if he refuses to accept his age, seeing more and more gray hair on his temples, and against the backdrop of the surrounding environment, Jean has to admit that the glory of his generation has come to an end, and perhaps more opportunities should be given to
Young people are more open-minded.
It was precisely because he recognized this problem that King Jean, who had always been stubborn, was persuaded by Prince Liam who argued hard and voted in favor of rebuilding the alliance.
Kael'thas sighed softly: "According to the follow-up investigation of Backlight Blade, after returning to Gilneas after the Alliance Conference, Jean did begin to consciously hand over various affairs to Prince Liam."
"Faced with the burden that his father suddenly placed on him, Liam handled everything with almost perfection. To a certain extent, Liam, who is more flexible and flexible, even handled it better than Gene himself.
.”
"Ha" Sarlayan chuckled and spread his hands: "Jean must be in a complicated mood right now."
"If you carefully calculate it, it has been more than 20 years since Jean took over the throne from his father Archibald Greymane. He is indeed quite old."
Kael'thas said in agreement: "Isn't that right? Humans don't live as long as us high elves. Jean should really consider the issue of successors."
"By the way, I almost forgot to say that."
Kael'thas suddenly remembered something and raised his hand to pat his smooth forehead: "The interactions between the three dwarf tribes have become more and more frequent after the Alliance Conference. Recently, for the first time, the leaders of the three tribes gathered in Ironforge to meet in person.
.”
"If nothing goes wrong, the top leaders of the Wildhammers and Dark Iron Dwarves will return to the Kingdom of Khaz Modan, and as you expected earlier, they will form the Council of the Three Hammers together with the Bronzebeard clan."
Sarlayan had anticipated this incident and informed Kael'thas of the relevant situation in detail before setting off.
Whether the Bronzebeard clan is willing to admit it or not, there is no doubt that the national power of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan has declined significantly after the Wildhammer and Dark Iron broke up and ran away.
During the reign of Mountain King Anvilmar, the Bronzebeard clan controlled the Mountain King's bodyguards and were mainly responsible for guarding the capital, Ironforge.
The Wildhammer dwarves, led by Prince Kaderros, are scattered across the wilderness and hills.
Although they are scorned by the Bronzebeard Clan as rural villagers because they rarely enter the city, their individual combat effectiveness is still higher than that of the Bronzebeard Clan, but their total population is lower.
The Dark Iron Clan is also important to the Kingdom of Khaz Modan, as they control the kingdom's magical power.
After the War of the Three Hammers ended, Madoran Bronzebeard, who had won the war, thought of many ways, but he still could not bring the Kingdom of Khaz Modan back to its peak.
The kingdom ruled by the Bronzebeard Dwarves had almost completely lost spellcasters, and had no choice but to introduce the emerging power of Holy Light from humans.
However, due to well-known reasons, the Holy Light is perceived by humans as a gentle force that is not very aggressive and is better at protecting and healing.
The Bronzebeard dwarves naturally followed the human kingdom's understanding of the Holy Light, but they still didn't make much improvement in terms of offensive spells.
In contrast, the Wildhammer dwarves who accompanied the griffons in the Cintra Highlands accidentally awakened the power of the elements and gained a part of the incomplete shamanic heritage.
The Dark Iron Dwarves have never forgotten their own strengths, and after receiving the blessing of the fire element, they have mastered fire spells.
Unable to make breakthroughs in magic, the Bronzebeard dwarves could only go further and further in physical warfare.

It is a famous blacksmithing holy land.
After the separation, the three dwarf tribes have each developed their own characteristics. If they really put aside their differences and reorganized the Three Hammers Council, the overall national strength of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan will definitely make a qualitative leap.
Sharlayan and Kael'thas were happy to see this happen.
The war is coming, and of course the stronger the allies standing on the same front, the better.
If Terenas was still here, he most likely wouldn't just watch the dwarves rise again.
After Sharlayan's long-term teaching on the overall situation, Queen Calia would not be so short-sighted. She even sent diplomatic envoys to help broker negotiations between the three major dwarf clans, thereby strengthening Lordaeron's influence as the host country of the alliance.
Kael'thas: "According to Calpurnia's speculation, the dwarves should make an official announcement about the reconstruction of the Three Hammers Council within one month at the latest."
"I hope they can complete the joint training of the armies of the three tribes after more than two hundred years before the war begins."
The three clans of Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, and Dark Iron have very different fighting methods, and it is not easy to knead them into a whole again.
But on the other hand, if the training of the truly reborn Kingdom of Khaz Modan can be completed, the strength they can exert on the battlefield will definitely be more than 1 1 1 = 3.
"The war is about to begin..."
Sarlayan turned to look out the window of Kael'thas's study. The sky over Quel'Thalas, which was spring-like all year round, was still clear. Occasionally, several giant eagles and dragon eagle knights could be seen patrolling in the air far away from the palace.
.
Sarlayan said with some worry: "I don't know what the situation is on the other side of the Dark Portal now. I hope Alleria can return smoothly after the Dark Portal opens."
…
When Sharlayan and Kael'thas were exchanging information in the Sunstrider Court, far away in the Icecrown Glacier in Northrend, the Lich King Ner'zhul, who was remotely inspecting the development of the Cursed Sect from the Ice Throne, suddenly
Received news of the arrival of the Dread Lord from his subordinates.
"The Dreadlord?"
Ner'zhul, who was sealed in the eternally frozen ice, felt a little bit in his heart: "At this juncture... I have a bad feeling."
In his lifetime, Ner'zhul came from the Shadowmoon clan, which was good at stargazing, and was more sensitive to the rhythm of the thread of fate than ordinary spellcasters.
Every time he has an ominous premonition, it usually comes true quickly in various forms, and the more he tries to avoid it, the harder it is to avoid it.
Before Ner'zhul could give any further instructions, the four Dread Lords strode over without any scruples.
This impolite behavior made Ner'zhul quite angry, and it was clear that he didn't take him seriously.
As the power of the Cult of the Damned expanded day by day, Ner'zhul became more and more confident.
Although he was not ready to break up with the Burning Legion, he was increasingly unable to stand the Dread Lord's bossy attitude.
"Several envoys, you came to me together, there should be..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
Since the last plan in Lordaeron failed, the people of Lordaeron have been hunting witches everywhere like crazy, making it increasingly difficult for the Dreadlords to gain a foothold in Lordaeron.
Deselok was already in a bad mood, but Ner'zhul's pretentious gesture further irritated him, and he immediately and rudely interrupted Ner'zhul's nonsense.
As Ner'zhul's mood changed, the temperature near the Ice Throne dropped significantly.
Balnazar stepped forward to smooth things over and patted his colleague on the shoulder: "Don't get excited, business is more important."
Varimathras coughed lightly and stepped forward, announcing in a serious tone that was rare for the Dread Lord: "Ner'zhul, we have brought the latest order from Lord Kil'jaeden."
'trickster!'
Ner'zhul did not dare to be as casual as he was with these stupid bats towards this demon lord who could manipulate him at will. He hurriedly suppressed his anger and assumed a respectful posture.
"Ner'zhul is here to listen to Lord Kil'jaeden's instructions. Special envoy, please speak."
Varimathras was very satisfied with Ner'zhul's humility: "Lord Kil'jaeden ordered you to cooperate with the friendly forces that invaded Azeroth from the Dark Portal, set off an undead frenzy in the Eastern Kingdom, and attract as many countries as possible in the Alliance.
attention.”
As early as Kel'Thuzad submitted the news that the Dark Portal was about to be opened again, Ner'zhul guessed that Kil'jaeden would not easily give up this opportunity to tear apart Azeroth's defenses.
'Just as Kel'Thuzad expected.'
Ner'zhul sighed silently in his heart.
According to Kel'Thuzad's vision, now is not the best time for natural disasters to surface.
However, the situation was stronger than the people. Faced with the order issued by Kil'jaeden himself, Ner'zhul could only endure his dissatisfaction and accept it respectfully.
"Ner'zhul obeys. I will immediately order all departments of the Scourge to start preparations in advance, and also ask the special envoy to inform Lord Kil'jaeden on this matter."
'Be patient, be patient, and wait until Kel'Thuzad accumulates more power for me... I will first use these stupid big bats to sacrifice the banner for the rise of the Scourge!'
