Regardless of race or origin, as long as you are willing to contribute to the peace of Azeroth and the Alliance, you will receive courtesy from Marshal Lothar.
If you can successfully pass the selection and rescue the Red Dragon Queen, you will even get the blessing of the dragon!
Such a majestic recruitment order was distributed with the Griffin Knights to every corner within reach of the Kingdom and Continental Alliance, and was posted in front of the town's city hall, on notice boards at intersections, and on eye-catching tree trunks...
Suddenly there was thunder and wind in all directions, and many adventurers were excited by this.
For a long time, adventurers without permanent wealth have not been valued by the nobles. Lone Rangers have never been opponents of military formations. Even great adventurers can only serve as thugs in the eyes of noble lords.
Take the establishment of the Iron Horse Brotherhood as an example. They admire Lothar more as a person. In fact, they always have an aloof relationship with the regular troops in the alliance.
Now Lothar's recruitment order has truly made these "idle people" feel that they are being taken seriously.
What makes the warriors curious is that the place the warriors were invited to rush to in the recruitment order is not Alterac, which Lothar has now taken over, but Ironforge, which is located in the wild mountains of Khaz Modan.
.
In today's Kingdom Continent, the largest city open to the outside world is actually not Lordaeron, but the thousand-year-old city of Ironforge.
This millennium is a "virtual finger". Ironforge was established more than two thousand years ago before the Kingdom of Thoradin was divided.
The venue of the gathering was chosen here not only because it is the largest open city, but also because the first official dialogue between the dragon and the mortal world was held in Ironforge.
Li De really didn't expect that the meeting he initiated would receive unanimous response from the leaders of all countries. All the leaders of the seven human nations were present.
In addition to the seven alliance countries, the host Ironforge, the Wildhammer dwarves of the Hinterlands, and the dwarves who count as half of the host also participated in this meeting!
Together with the leaders of the ten countries, Li De, and the two representatives of the Dragon Legion, there will be thirteen representatives present at today's venue.
Regarding this city built inside the mountains, Li De felt that no matter how many times he visited, he would always be impressed by its majesty.
The gate of Ironforge is opened to the southwest of the Dun Morogh Snow Mountains. After entering the gate, what you see is a huge stone statue. This is a sturdy dwarf image, holding a hammer in one hand and an ax in the other.
He is the greatest mountain king in the history of the dwarves: Modimus Anvilmar. Of course, it was precisely because of the death of this extremely prestigious king that the dwarves were divided, and the War of the Three Hammers broke out.
The city was planned in the shape of a huge ring, and in the center of the ring was a large furnace built from flowing underground lava, which symbolized the proud forging craftsmanship of the dwarves.
The place where everyone held the meeting was chosen to be in the throne room facing the Great Furnace, where the Bronzebeard Dwarf King Magni always made decisions.
At this time, the largest long table was set up in the throne room. The two long sides from the left are:
Terenas Menethil, King of Lordaeron, Antonidas, Grand Magister of Dalaran, Thoras Trollbane, King of Stromgarde, Anduin Lothar, Commander of Alterac, Stormwind City
King Varian Wrynn;
Magni Bronzebeard, the Dwarf King of Ironforge, Kurdran Wildhammer, the Dwarf King of Eyrie Mountain, Daelin Proudmoore, Marshal of the Sea of Kul Tiras, Genn Greymane, King of Gilneas, No.
High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque of Morien;
Ten kings sat opposite each other on the two long sides of the table, and there was only one person sitting on the short side near the door, the initiator of the meeting, Lidl Victory.
There are two seats on the short side facing the door. Today, the guardian dragon will send two representatives.
Li De is actually a little curious about this arrangement. Considering the equality of status, only Krasus is currently eligible to participate in the Red Dragon Legion. Who will be qualified to join him?
But no matter how Li De asked Buck, the guy kept strictly confidential. Now Li De just hopes that things will not go wrong.
Because the guests haven't arrived yet, the kings in the venue are acting very casually, just chatting among themselves in private.
"Varian, how are you doing? Are you okay running a country by yourself?"
Lothar was like an ordinary elder, asking about Varian's current situation. Originally, Lothar was arranged to the left of Trollbane according to the seating arrangement, but to make it easier for Varian to talk, the two changed.
seat.
"I'm fine, Uncle Lothar. General Turalyon is very attentive to helping me. After you left, Duke Gregor was also very attentive in assisting me in running the country.
Now that the ruins of Stormwind City have been completely cleared, I have also moved back to the old city, and according to the plan, I can consider rebuilding Stormwind City next year."
The gold coins obtained from Bores and other nobles have played a big role. Now the people's livelihood in the country has been restored to a certain extent, so Varian seems to be in good spirits.
Lothar nodded hesitantly. He left Turalyon behind. In fact, he just didn't trust Greg's family.
Bores's family was seriously injured, and Grayson's family sided with Varian. Only the wily Greg could not be seen through by Lothar. Lothar was suspicious of the previous attack on Varian in Lordaeron.
It was Greg who planned it, but now that the old guy is acting like he is loyal to his country, it really makes Lothar a little worried.
"Oh, that's right. What has Turalyon been doing recently? Why did Maginot, Benedictus and Shore escort you here today? Why didn't Turalyon come?"
After hearing Lothar's question, Varian pondered for a moment before speaking.
"A few days ago, Master Khadgar came to Stormwind City and visited General Turalyon. It is said that something happened in the Dark Portal recently. General Turalyon was very concerned about it, so he led his troops to check it out in person.
Shore knows better."
Varian didn't seem to be very willing to talk about this matter, and just motioned to a thin young man standing at the edge of the venue with his hand on his waist to come over.
"His Majesty."
The young man walked over quickly and leaned slightly to wait for Varian's instructions.
Each king is allowed to bring a guard into the venue, and Varian's guard is Mathias Shore.
"Tell the marshal what Master Khadgar discovered."
After receiving the order, Xiaoer quickly explained in a low voice.
"About last month, someone visited Master Khadgar who was staying in the Cursed Land and told the tribe that the warlocks were not dead and were still plotting secretly.
At the same time, Master Khadgar also felt anomalies in the Dark Portal, and it seemed that evil energy had penetrated through it. The general who learned about this was very vigilant, and then decided to go and check it himself."
After the Dark Portal closed, Khadgar chose to take some of his people to stay in the Cursed Land. He asked himself that he was so far behind his teacher Medivh, how could he dare to hope to completely shut down his teacher's magic?
Lothar praised Khadgar and Turalyon for their vigilance, but he wondered why Varian was vaguely unhappy. Then he realized that there was a detail that was not explained in Shore's story.
"Who visited Khadgar?"
Shore's expression changed and he looked at Varian worriedly. The young king sighed and indicated that he didn't need to hide it from the marshal. Shore then quickly said a name.
"Orc Assassin, Garona."
I have to say that Shore was very considerate. When he said the name, his voice was low and fast, and a trace of disgust flashed across Varian's face quickly, as if just hearing the name would make him feel sick.
Garona is a mixed-blood female half-orc. After the orcs invaded Azeroth, she was sent by Gul'dan to the mage Takarazhan in Medivh as a liaison between Medivh and the tribe.
But in the process of getting along with Medivh, the two developed an unusually close relationship.
Later, Garona discovered something strange about Medivh. In the human mage's body, there was still an extremely evil world-destroying soul. Garona, who still had a trace of kindness in her heart, betrayed the tribe and came to Stormwind City to ask Ryan at the time.
The king and Lothar reported Medivh's identity as the culprit.
Unfortunately, Garona once belonged to the warlock Gul'dan. Even though she was far away from the tribe, the evil energy could still control her from a distance.
In this way, Garona involuntarily inserted the knife into Ryan's body. It was precisely because of King Ryan's assassination that the Stormwind Kingdom suffered a severe morale loss and lost the first Orc War.
The young Varian witnessed the assassination with his own eyes.
He would never forgive Garona in his life, and vowed to hate the orcs forever.
After understanding the cause and effect, Lothar nodded inconspicuously.
"It turns out that Khadgar and Turalyon did the right thing and should treat crisis-related intelligence with caution. It's just that they are mages and generals after all, and they may lack the ability to judge when facing complex problems..."
Lothar said this, and Shore explained in due course.
"Please rest assured that we have sent the most capable agents to follow the mage and general to help them find out the truth."
Lothar nodded with satisfaction. Shaw served in the Stormwind City Assassin Group, and this group also had a more famous name: MI7.
Even though Shore is just a young man under the age of twenty, in fact he is already an extremely experienced old intelligence agent, and it won't be long before he will officially take over the leadership position of the organization.
Thinking of this, Lothar also changed the topic a little.
"How is your grandmother doing?"
Xiaoer quickly answered with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern. My grandmother has always been in good health. However, she said that she will retire next year and asked me to officially take over her job. I am not afraid of your laughter. I am under a lot of pressure now."
Lothar stretched out her hand and squeezed Xiao's shoulder to encourage him.
"Haha, keep going and be more confident."
The person the two were chatting with was Shore's grandmother, Pasonia Shore. This woman was also the first generation Shore and one of the early founders of MI7.
The old Assassin leader also contributed to the war. After realizing that the Assassins could not compete head-on with the Horde army, Pasonia Shore led his men and planned many beautiful assassinations against the Horde officers.
After a few chats, Shore quietly returned to his seat. Lothar, on the other hand, looked at Li De, who had been listening patiently to the other side of the table.
"Li De, what do you think about this matter?"
Li De put down the pipe in his hand. Kezan's tobacco and the dwarf's pipe tasted very good, but he did not puff out the smoke for a moment during the conversation.
"The opposite person is an orc with a fel energy background. We can't take him too seriously. But I don't think it's necessary to make any publicity about this matter now. It's not appropriate to cause unnecessary panic until the matter is investigated clearly.
We can only pay attention to it within a few people first, and after the meeting, we can first communicate with the Grand Magister, the dragon representative and a few others."
Lothar knew what was going on, and nodded in agreement and kept silent. At this time, Varian also started chatting with Li De.
This is the first time that Varian has seen Reed since he succeeded to the throne. Although Varian was a little dissatisfied with Reed for not participating in the succession ceremony, as Samuelson sent the protector Ga
Sass, this dissatisfaction will disappear.
How could Varian, who aspires to be a powerful warrior, not like this powerful weapon that killed evil gods?
But when the two talked about the protector Gazas, Varian was still a little discouraged. He was too young and not strong enough to use this giant sword.
After trying out the sword during the succession ceremony, the Protector was also shelved by the palace officials, and it was agreed that Varian could only truly use it after he came of age and gained sufficient strength.
Now, besides governing the country, what Varian looks forward to most is growing up and becoming stronger.
Li De smiled and comforted Varian, while also sharing with him his experiences in the process of growing up.
As a heroic warrior who fought with one sword and one gun, how valuable is the warrior's way he taught? Varian did not despise it at all, but listened carefully to the experience.
"Li De, what are you talking about?"
Kurdran asked with a smile across from him. His loud voice immediately attracted the attention of Li De and Varian.
"I am sharing my warrior experience with His Majesty Varian."
Hearing what Li De said, Kurdran also became energetic. In addition to mastering elemental magic, he was also a powerful warrior and eagerly participated in the discussion.
Only then did Li De notice that Kurdran and the great craftsman Mekkatorque had also changed seats.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Kurdran laughed.
"Magni, the great craftsmen are talking to His Majesty Terenas about building an underground tunnel. I saw that I couldn't get a word in, so I came here."
After a long time of fussing, attending the meeting really made all the leaders realize the inconvenience of transportation.
Trollbane was brought here by the gryphon knights of Kurdran, while Terenas and Greymane were brought here by the Archmage using teleportation magic.
For people who don't know magic, the process of teleportation with a mage will definitely not be very comfortable. It feels like cream being squeezed out of a piping bag.
Even the young and powerful Terenas rested for a long time before he regained his composure after arriving at Ironforge.
During the chat just now, Terenas was complaining about this matter. Just when Magni and Mekkatorque were promoting the underground tunnel, this immediately attracted the attention of Terenas, Trollbane and several others.
At this time, everyone was discussing whether they should cooperate to build one first.
While the leaders were chatting lively in twos and threes, Magni's younger brother Muradin Bronzebeard ran in and reported in an angry tone.
"Brother, our dragon guest has arrived. In addition to the red dragon, there is also a bronze dragon guest."
