"I want to warn you, insignificant human beings. In thousands of years, no one has the qualifications to negotiate terms with the Scourge." Archimonde made a rumbling sound, like thunder.
Facing Archimonde's aggressiveness, Antonidas's years of communication skills finally came into play. He made the most humble gesture and said:
"Lord Archimonde, I just want some due rewards. In order for the Legion to come to Azeroth, Dalaran needs to consume hundreds of years of magic reserves. I hope to live longer and serve the Legion more.
.”
Archimonde the Defiler was deep in thought, and he suddenly asked: "Do you know the relationship between Guardian Medivh and our Burning Legion?"
Antonidas didn't know why he had such a question. He bowed piously and said:
"Medivh is your servant. He summoned the Dark Portal and sent the orcs. I am willing to be your loyal servant to replace Medivh. Believe me, I will definitely be more useful than Medivh."
The cunning in Archimonde's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Very good, I will remember your benefits. The Burning Legion will not treat those who have contributed to us badly. You will get the rewards you deserve, and you will definitely
Beyond your expectations.”
Antonidas was overjoyed, Archimonde's promise gave him hope.
As the boss of the Burning Legion, of course he would not talk too much with Antonidas and quickly closed the legion's communications.
Antonidas was extremely lucky in his heart. He almost fell into Medivh's trap. After all, Thrall was an orc, but Jaina... Antonidas shook his head and was extremely disappointed with this disciple. Fortunately, he found out
In time, change from passive to active.
Luo Ning, who was full of worries, was invited to meet Antonidas. When he saw the ambitious archmage, he was a little puzzled.
"Luoning, thank you. If it weren't for your help, I would have been fooled. Damn Medivh. He actually teamed up with Thrall and Jaina to plot against me." Antonidas grabbed Ronin's hand and felt that this was him.
The most trusted person.
Luo Ning was also good at acting and asked in surprise: "Arch Mage, have you decided to cooperate with the Scourge?"
Antonidas shook his head enigmatically and said with a smile: "I have already talked with Archimonde the Defiler. He is willing to help us. Dalaran is safe and Azeroth has been saved."
The negotiation with Archimonde was described in detail, and Luo Ning was shocked to hear it.
A qualified leader needs to make the right decision in a confusing situation. Luo Ning is still young and has a clear mind. He heard the unusual information and allowed him to see the situation clearly.
"No, Archmage, it shouldn't be like this." Luo Ning shook his head. At this moment, he finally strengthened his confidence: "The Burning Legion is not trustworthy. We should cooperate with Arthas to keep foreign enemies at bay."
"I know what you are thinking, but don't forget that young people should have an adventurous spirit. The Burning Legion will definitely bring us advanced magic and technology and completely change the continent of Azeroth."
"No, the Burning Legion will only bring disaster to us."
Luo Ning argued hard: "That is a huge legion that has destroyed countless worlds. They slaughtered lives and they will bring blazing flames. How can Azeroth survive?"
Antonidas had already recognized the truth. He would not listen to the advice and stubbornly said:
"Luo Ning, those are just rumors of the Holy Light Legion. You are still too young. You have to look at the long term. The loss of a generation is nothing. If we, Azeroth, want to stand in the forest of the universe, we must
With the help of powerful forces, we must learn from the eredar on the planet Argus. Without the Burning Legion, when do you think we will become a powerful planet? Azeroth is not just a human race, the threat of the orcs is right in front of us.
, even if you join forces with the Scourge Legion to eliminate the orcs, how can you ensure that other races will not cooperate with the Burning Legion? Now the opportunity is in front of you. If you miss it, you will be the eternal sinner of mankind."
Greed has taken over Antonidas's heart, and he longs for the Legion to give him a young body. Ronin knew that he could not persuade the Grand Magister, but fortunately he had made a secret arrangement. He could only remind Antonidas: "Sir, I hope your decision will be
That's right, but we must be careful about these orcs."
"As long as the Scourge comes, the orcs will not be a problem at all." Antonidas was full of confidence: "Dalaran has a sufficient number of mages, and the orcs can't do anything to us."
At the Gate of Dalaran, Dalaran's mages are waiting, the Scourge is approaching.
The mighty Scourge Legion was overwhelming, the gargoyles were like a dark cloud, covering up the brilliance of the sun, there were ghouls all over the mountains and plains, neat groups of death knights, tall abominations, groups of lichs and necromancers.
I thought that Dalaran was the real mage empire, but compared with the Lich Mage Group of the Scourge, it was completely at a disadvantage, which made all Dalaran mages feel powerless.
A voice sounded outside, clear and powerful.
"Mages of the Kirin Tor! I am Arthas, the prince of Lordaeron. The Scourge's target is only the orcs. I hope you will not be stubborn and don't let the tragedy of Lordaeron and Silvermoon City happen again."
Archmage Antonidas appeared on the terrace and witnessed the horror of the Scourge. His weather-beaten face was slightly pale, but thinking of the deal reached not long ago, he immediately became confident again. His voice was as loud as Alsace's.
"Hello, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace,"
Antonidas shouted to the people below, his tone full of sarcasm. "How is your noble father doing lately? You have brought disaster to Lordaeron, and you killed your father with your own hands."
"Lord Antonidas," Arthas replied without being angry, "I have always respected you, Archmage, but unfortunately your cynicism has disappointed me so much. Why did you deliberately cover your eyes?"
"My young prince, you are too naive. History will only recognize the justice of the victors, while the losers are destined to be evil."
Antonidas signaled to Luo Ning, who was standing aside. Luo Ning nodded and walked into the control room not far away, preparing to activate the summoning circle.
"We have been waiting for a long time, Arthas," Antonidas continued proudly: "We have set up a barrier in Dalaran, and any undead creature will be destroyed as soon as it enters."
Arthas shook his head and said seriously:
"I never wanted to attack Dalaran. You must have heard about Quel'Thalas, right? They also thought that their defenses were impenetrable, but unfortunately, Medivh and the orcs broke through from the inside."
"Dalaran is no better than Silvermoon City. We are about to welcome new allies."
Antonidas looked down at Alsace and said proudly: "Withdraw your army, otherwise we will have to use all our strength to deal with you! Make your own choice, Alsace."
"Are you talking about the Burning Legion? Antonidas?" Arthas said loudly: "Your greed will bring disaster to Azeroth."
"I'm just preventing the rise of a tyrant, I'm saving Azeroth."
Having said that, Antonidas left the terrace. He felt reassured by Ronin. He was thinking about how to face the polluter Archimonde, whether he needed to dress more formally or prepare some welcome ceremony. (To be continued)
