When Sarlayan finally gathered his energy and walked out of the guest room, five days had passed since the end of the war.
Councilor Calpurnia, who is in charge of foreign affairs, teleported to New Shandalar City with a group of professional diplomats. Calpurnia also specially met with Sarlayan.
"The General Affairs Department is considering customizing a high-level official position for you, which will be directly responsible to the royal family."
Calpurnia shrugged jokingly and said: "You are a hammer-and-stick guy. I don't think it's suitable for you to be thrown into the ranks of civil servants or military attachés. I might as well make you a royal commissioner."
Sarlayan didn't care much about this, as his desire for power was not important to begin with.
Instead of sharpening his head to study and work hard, he prefers to set aside time to do practical things.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to say that."
Calpurnia patted her smooth forehead and took out a very simple-looking letter from her space package.
"This is the Earl of Deep Shadow... The letter that Mr. Villeless asked me to forward to you was left by your parents."
Sarlayan's eyebrows were raised: "The couple ran away again?"
"I'm not sure. I've been too busy lately and haven't paid much attention to domestic affairs."
"oh?"
Sarlayan asked curiously: "Which country is causing trouble again?"
Calpurnia smiled bitterly and said, "Who else could it be? Lordaeron."
"That brat in Terenas shamelessly asked us to send troops as guest troops to destroy Zumashal."
"Zumashal?" Sarlayan said in shock: "Isn't that the base of the Moss Troll?"
"Zumashal is clearly within the territory of the Stratholme region, what does it have to do with us?"
Calpurnia rubbed her temples with a headache: "I heard that Baron Rivendell complained to Terenas, accusing Quel'Thalas of deliberately allowing the exiled forces of the forest trolls to flow to Zumashal, so that we could have an end to the beginning.
take responsibility."
"You're crazy!"
Sharlayan rolled his eyes and complained: "It's going to rain, my mother is getting married, and we can't control which direction Amani flees. What does this have to do with Quel'Thalas?"
Calpurnia sneered: "It's just an excuse."
"With Dalaran taking off and officially breaking away from the shackles of geopolitics, Lordaeron now feels a bit like people are betraying their relatives."
"The older Terenas gets, the more confused he becomes. He still refuses to give up his foolish dream of unifying all human nations, and even blames us for the disintegration of the Alliance."
Terenas has a good reason. Both Kul Tiras and Dalaran were taken away by Quel'Thalas, and the high elves who were secretly responsible for the collapse of the alliance must bear the main responsibility.
"God is mainly responsible!"
Sharlayan curled his lips disdainfully: "Kul Tiras broke up with Lordaeron because Terenas insisted on building an orc shelter. Dalaran couldn't stand the political bullying of Lordaeron, and
What’s our relationship?”
"And Terenas may have selectively forgotten that Gilneas and Stromgard, who were the first to withdraw from the alliance, have nothing to do with us, right?"
Calpurnia replied with a half-smile: "Perhaps he thinks that our support for trade behind the scenes gave Gilneas and Stromgard the confidence to break with Lordaeron."
Sarlayan shook his head helplessly: "That old guy is sick and needs to be treated."
"If you have the time to watch Quel'Thalas's every move all day long, why not focus on teaching his filial son."
"Um?"
Calpurnia was a little confused: "You mean Prince Alsace? What happened to him?"
"Ha~"
Sarlayan chuckled calmly and said: "Didn't Archbishop Alonsos Fao pass away not long ago? Uther and others were busy preparing for his funeral, and they were somewhat neglectful of Prince Alsace."
"That little guy actually sneaked to Dalaran alone, and very accurately found Jaina and stalked her, which made Daelin very angry."
Sarlayan also learned the news from the furious Dailin just the day before yesterday.
There is a saying, as a prince of a king, even if his direct mentor Uther relaxes, are the other followers just living for a living? Are they just watching Arthas run to Dalaran?
You can tell with your navel that there is something fishy going on, and most likely Terenas is hell-bent on annexing other countries through marriage.
In order to avoid Terenas' black hands, during the years when Dalaran and Lordaeron were mixing oil, Daelin specially sent his precious daughter to Quel'Thalas, where there was no interference, to study.
It wasn't until Dalaran and Lordaeron had completely broken up that Daelin reached a three-party agreement with Kael'thas and Antonidas to send Jaina to Dalaran to further her studies.
I thought Dalaran could escape Lordaeron's entanglement by taking off, but I didn't expect Terenas to be so stubborn.
Daelin was so furious that he didn't even bother to personally command the Marines to siege the city. He hurriedly boarded the icebreaker back to the Eastern Continent, intending to teach the filial son of Lordaeron a lesson he would never forget.
"So there is such a thing..."
Calpurnia was a bit dumbfounded: "Terenas is also doing this carefully, but unfortunately, Princess Gianna doesn't seem to have that intention."
"Ha~"
Sarlayan said sarcastically: "Jaina is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in Quel'Thalas. How can the identity and appearance of this idiot be compared to that of her mentor Kael'thas? Only if she can fall in love with that impetuous brat."
strangeness."
In the original history, Jaina was sent to Dalaran to study since she was a child. In the world she was exposed to, there were not many outstanding men of her age, and Arthas was already considered the leader.
As for the timeline where Sharlayan is located, little Jaina followed Kael'thas and traveled to many places. Her already broadened view of the overall situation is by no means comparable to the silly and sweet one in the original history.
Kael'thas, Sharlayan and other beauties from Quel'Thalas with both virtues and talents were in front of them, but Arthas, who had just turned 15, was not very impressive.
Moreover, Arthas in this timeline did not grow up with Jaina's childhood sweetheart. His father suddenly asked him to please an unfamiliar woman. Can the little prince who has been pampered since childhood really let go of his stature?
No matter what Terenas thinks, closing the door and releasing the two fools is undoubtedly a bad move. Not only will it not gain any benefits, but it will further anger Antonidas and Daelin, who are already unhappy with Terenas.
Antonidas regards Jaina as the future hope of Dalaran, equivalent to the already emerging Rhonin.
Dalaran finally got rid of the political bullying of Lordaeron, why do you still want to haunt it?
Shit!
After experiencing many incidents, the senior leaders of Quel'Thalas, including Calpurnia, believed in Sarlayan's overall view.
For this reason, Calpurnia specifically sought Saraian's opinion before setting off to do business.
"Salayan, how do you think we should deal with Lordaeron's diplomatic oppression?"
"Ignore."
Sarlayan said expressionlessly: "Ignore him, Terenas can't even protect himself now. Let's wait until he can deal with the endless rebellions in the country."
Yes, rebellion.
Lordaeron finally began to pay the price for his actions of pretending to be fat.
This notorious "First Kingdom of Mankind" has been penetrated like a sieve by the fear lord who sneaked into Azeroth.
Thanks to the efforts of this group of giant bats, the entire territory of Lordaeron was at war, and only a few areas could still maintain peace.
The territory of Alterac, which had only been occupied for a few years, made Terenas' head as big as a bucket.
Not to mention the exiled orcs who come here from time to time to grab something and run away, the Syndicate established by the original nobles of Alterland makes Lordaeron's security forces extremely annoyed.
Outland's national power is the weakest among the seven human kingdoms, but it is still an independent kingdom. With the wealth of Hillsbrad, it can support many nobles in the country.
According to common sense, after Aiden Perenold betrayed humanity and was executed, Alterland should have chosen a new king who had different political views from Aiden to succeed him and continue the Kingdom of Alterac.
Who would have known that Terenas had no moral integrity and swallowed up Alterac without leaving any benefit to other allies.
Gilneas and Stromgard, who also bordered Alterac, naturally found it difficult to accept this.
Unfortunately, his arms could not lift his thighs. Lordaeron used its superiority in national strength to forcefully suppress the opposition of the two countries, thus completely offending Zeon and Solas, and the alliance collapsed.
The evil done in the early years is now beginning to be repaid to Lordaeron.
It's not that Terenas doesn't want Stratholme to send troops to kill the moss trolls who are causing trouble. Lordaeron no longer has that spare power due to internal and external troubles.
What's even more funny is that Terenas doesn't know how to lower his attitude when asking for help. He still acts like he is the best in the world, and wants to give orders to Quel'Thalas from above.
The bastard brother who is declining in the world still wants to threaten Quel'Thalas, which is on the rise? Go away! Learn to bow your head and beg for help, and then do it all over again!
