Rise of the blood elves

;

The silence slowly fermented, and no one spoke to break the deathly silence.

Countess Catalana, who was sitting in her seat, looked around, her eyes swept over the leaders of the various races present one by one, taking in their expressions. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile.

She stood up and left her seat, walked slowly to the center of the venue, and said softly:

"The coalition forces have been reorganized and are now the strongest armed force in the north. Currently, we occupy various dangerous positions from the Blood Elf Bastion to the southern shore of Lake Lordamre, Amber Mill and the southern part of Silverpine Forest. We have strong troops and sufficient supplies. A massive war can be launched against the undead-occupied areas at any time. Although I am a female and do not know how to march and fight, my Lords, if the conflict with the Forgotten is doomed to be inevitable, why not strike preemptively Woolen cloth"

The gentle and soft voice seems to have the magic power to penetrate directly into the heart, making the listener involuntarily identify with it.

"Ms. Presto is right. The undead have just experienced a civil war. We should take this opportunity to invade Tirisfal, completely eliminate them, and regain the land of Lordaeron." Bard, the representative of the remnants of Lordaeron, nodded. echoed.

Bard is a meritorious nobleman from the Kingdom of Lordaeron. He made great achievements during the Second War and is a prestigious military general of the Old Alliance.He is middle-aged and slightly bald.The large Lordaeron-style robes could not hide the burly physique that had been tempered by battles, giving people a very rough look.

Originally, the representative of the remnants of Lordaeron was not him, but a respected old nobleman.However, due to the latter's mysterious disappearance not long ago, Bard became the spokesman for the overall interests of the remnants of Lordaeron and came to attend the All Nations Alliance Summit.

This person is the main war faction within the coalition of tribes, and has always advocated war against the forgotten people.They even threatened that even without the help of the coalition forces, they would counterattack Tirisfal and conquer the lost land with the support of the Kingdom of Stormwind.At present, they have begun to arm and train new troops with the armaments sent from the Kingdom of Stormwind.

It is worth mentioning that the remnants of Lordaeron are all grateful to Countess Katrana.

After escaping to the Arathi Highlands, they were short of food and clothing, and assistance from other races and countries was far from being able to get everyone out of trouble.

Not only did Katrana convince King Varian, who had been reluctant to join the war, to let the powerful Kingdom of Stormwind fight side by side with the coalition of tribes, she even generously donated her family's wealth to purchase a large amount of food, tents and other necessities. They were sent to the Arathi Highlands by water, which helped them survive the difficulties in the first few months.

In the eyes of the remnants of Lordaeron, this countess from a foreign country is even more worthy of following than Princess Calia, who abandoned her people.

Of course, in the eyes of the leaders of the various ethnic groups at the coalition summit, Katrana's purpose was not so simple.

Offering help in times of need and winning people's hearts was understandable for a strong woman who took control of the kingdom's government affairs in just 12 years and was regarded as the right-hand man by King Varian.But when she encouraged the hatred of the remnants of Lordaeron and promised to do everything in her power to help them win the war against the undead, she thought of the series of strange events that had happened before.

The big shots at the summit knew very well that if she was the instigator of all this, then she might have bared her fangs, but they were just suffering from the fact that they had not yet collected any evidence to reveal her behind-the-scenes conspiracy.

"War with the Forsaken is not a wise choice," Tirion Fordring said in a deep voice. "The most long-term threat to the North and the entire world is still the Scourge. If we fall into a war with the Forgotten In the quagmire, the Scourge Legion, which was severely injured by the destructive spell not long ago, will get a precious chance to breathe. When the Lich King comes back, what can we do against the Scourge Army, which has already been devastated? "

This remark won general approval.

"Lord Tirion, but the imminent problem is right in front of us. It's not that we want to start a war, it's the Forsaken who want to start a war with us." Bard held on to the armrest, leaned forward, and said emotionally.

Tirion nodded slightly in agreement, turned to look at Kael'thas and said: "If your discussion about Sylvanas is correct, the Banshee King and the free undead under her command have an unforgettable hatred for the Lich King. Hatred, then they may also be looking forward to ending the Scourge's rule. In this regard, we are no different."

"I agree," echoed Ansrem Ruinwevor of the Kirin Tor Council of Six. "I have every reason to suspect that someone is trying to sabotage the Northern Expedition by instigating a war between us and the Forsaken. Even the Northern Expedition. The recent killings of messengers are all premeditated frame-up acts."

"Framed" Bard couldn't help but became furious, "Master Mage, do you think the Forgotten Ones will make peace with us?"

"I understand." Ansrem pressed his hands to signal the other party to calm down. "Please don't misunderstand me. I just said that there is no reason for the Forsaken to wait until they have established a foothold and their own strength is far weaker." Under our premise, they showed unreasonable hostility towards us. For a force that already exists between the undead and the living due to natural disasters, this is abnormal."

"Sir, this is not abnormal, because they are undead." Bard was obviously suppressing his anger.

Kael'thas sighed secretly in his heart.

Before and after the birth of the Forsaken, everything was going in a good direction.Angmar said that he had a way to introduce the Forsaken into the coalition of races. After all, all races in this land had a deep hatred for the Scourge.At least until the Scourge is destroyed, the interests of both parties are consistent, and by that time, he can also find a better place for the Forsaken.No matter how bad things go, Sylvanas can be completely controlled and the worst outcome can be avoided.

结果

Angmar disappeared, disappearing in Stormwind City on his mission, and was not heard from for months.Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Stormwind deployed all their strength but could not find any trace.

During this period, Katrana came to the coalition of nations on behalf of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and the situation took a turn for the worse. The coalition and the Forgotten were about to start a war, and the entire north was about to fall into the quagmire of war again.

"I will try to contact Sylvanas again, and I hope we can confirm that the murder of the courier was just a conspiracy with ulterior motives."

At the end of the meeting, leaders of all ethnic groups left one after another.

The matter of suspending the long-planned Northern Expedition and starting a war with the Forgotten Ones actually involves a lot of things and is no small matter.Tirion's point of view is widely accepted. If we get stuck in the quagmire of war, we will only miss the opportunity to eradicate the Scourge.

After Katrana came to the coalition, the situation took a turn for the worse. Leaders of all ethnic groups smelled the conspiracy, and naturally they would not be led by others like this.The first people to suspect the countess of the Kingdom of Stormwind were the blood elves and Dalaran. Both sides had sent people to secretly investigate the origins of Katrana Prestor.

After returning to the blood elf camp located in the southeast corner of the camp, just as he was about to enter his tent, the guard at the door reported: "Your Highness, you have a visitor."

Kael'thas nodded to express his understanding. Unexpectedly, he lifted the door curtain and waited in front of the desk. It was not Rommath who had gained something as expected, but Ronin, the Kirin Tor councilor who had been missing for more than a month, and his old man. Friend Krasus, Elder of the Kirin Tor Council.

Kael'thas couldn't help but frown slightly. In order to find them, the blood elves and Dalaran had spent a lot of effort, and they even suspected that some force had captured the two of them together with Angmar.But now the two of them were standing in their tents, looking dusty and tired from an extremely long journey.

The prince keenly sensed a different kind of heaviness.He nodded slightly to the two of them, "Crassus, Ronin. I'm glad to see you are back safely. Where have you been during this time?"

Krasus shook his head and said in a very sad tone: "It's not important, Kael'thas, I must tell you an extremely heavy fact. Angmar, he"

Kael'thas' eyes widened suddenly, "What's wrong with him?"
