"Sun King, thank you for taking the risk to come to the Alterac Lords in such a terrible situation."

Outside the court of Alterac City, which had been completely under martial law, the Emperor of Lothar personally greeted the Sun King Kael'thas who had arrived from the Stratholme region. The Sunstrider, and judging by the few protectors who followed behind Kael'thas, it was supposed to be a private invitation.

According to the identity of the Sun King, if such a visit is usually accompanied by important people in both governments, but at this time, in the case of Northern Xinjiang, these false courtesies have been dispensed with, because whether it is the stormy human empire or the high elves who are eager to find a way out, they no longer have the leisure to engage in these activities.

Soon, the two rulers were seated in a special room, whether it was the emperor's bodyguards or the Sun King's attendants, they all stood outside the room, obviously, the emperor and the Sun King, there were some important things to talk about, and it was not convenient for others to know.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, Your Majesty Kael'thas."

Lothar himself poured a glass of wine for Kael'thas, he handed it to the Sun King, and he himself picked up a glass of wine, he looked at Kael'thas and said in a deep voice:

"I need the help of the High Elves."

Kael'thas, who had become king, was no longer as humble as he had been when he was a prince, and he did not immediately reply to Lothar's request, but motioned with his eyes for the emperor to continue.

"I would like to borrow your mage regiment to open portals to Kurtilas and Tol Barad in the several cities where the empire is still built."

"Huh? Is that all? ”

Kael'thas looked at Lothar suspiciously, such a request is not out of line, if it is just to open a few portals in the city, there is no need for the Human Emperor to say it himself, so there must be another meaning in Lothar's words.

"Yes, that's all!"

Lothar took a sip of wine, his eyes calm, but the words he said did not make people feel calm:

"But for the size of the portal, I have a little bit of a request... I'm going to open the largest portal in every city you can control... I've heard that the strategic portal of the Firewing Mage Legion can transport at least 10,000 people in an hour? ”

"There's that kind of portal."

Kael'thas now understood why the Human Emperor was talking about this matter in private, he was willing to help the Human Empire without affecting the transfer of the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, but obviously, Lothar's request was beyond the scope of help, so the Sun King refused without hesitation.

"But that strategic-level portal needs to take up too many resources, it is cumbersome to make, and the follow-up maintenance is too cumbersome, even we rarely use such a super large portal, let alone build such a portal in every city of the human race, with all due respect, Your Majesty the Emperor."

The Sun King said softly but unquestionably:

"I can understand what you have done to save the people, but unfortunately, we can't help you."

This refusal did not exceed Lothar's expectations, and the Human Emperor was not discouraged, he reached out and knocked on the table, looking at Kael'thas:

"All the materials and expenses are borne by the empire, although Dalaran was destroyed in the recent disaster, but Dalaran's mages were scattered to the big cities in the north in advance, and they can also help... I need those portals, Kael'thas and give it anything, and I'm going to get it too! It is the last hope of my people, and I want you to think again. ”

Lothar's request also carried a hint of unquestionable tone, which made the young Sun King hesitate a little, and he looked at the human emperor with his turquoise eyes, and after a moment, Kael'thas still shook his head:

"I'm sorry, but it's not that I don't want to help you, the Firewing Legion currently has its own mission, Emperor Lothar, you have your people, you are responsible for your people, and I have mine... I am also responsible for them. ”

"So... Is it true that the High Elves have found a "distant relative" in Kalimdor? ”

The smile on Lothar's face spread little by little, and he stared into Kael'thas in the eye and whispered:

"Where's that place? The gavel of doom? What is that city called? I remember it was a very cumbersome name... In Salas, should it be called, the ancient city of Eresaras? Right? ”

"Smack"

His Majesty Kael'thas, who had been calm, suddenly stood up from his chair after hearing Lothar's words, and his eyes shone with a touch of solemnity.

After the death of Quel'Thalas, the High Elves have re-established contact with the High Elves in the forest of Firas in Kalimdor, which should be top secret! But why would Lothar ... Will you know so clearly?

"You, you planted a spy in Quel'Thalas?"

His Majesty Kael'thas shouted:

"Emperor Lothar, you're doing something very dangerous! You are me and my people at bay! ”

"I didn't plant a spy, Your Majesty Kael'thas."

Lothar shook his head calmly in the face of the accusation, and he walked to the desk next to him, took out a well-preserved ancient book, and placed it in front of Kael'thas.

"My friend Medivan, with whom I grew up, in his mage Takarazan, there are many secrets about this world, and when I left there a few years ago, I took some books with me, which happened to contain secret information about the upper elves living in seclusion in Kalimdor, plus the recent frequent travel of the High Elf fleet in the Endless Sea, which has to make people suspicious."

The Emperor of Humanity showed a sly smile:

"Seriously, I guessed... But I'm lucky, I guessed right, right? ”

Lothar's reason was clumsy, but he couldn't tell Kael'thas the truth, and in the last years of his life with Medivan, the last Guardian, who had a premonition of a great change, told Lothar everything he knew, including news that the upper elves were long overdue, but still existed, and their feud with the High Elves.

In fact, after getting the information about the Quel'Salas plant disaster, Lothar was 7 points sure, back then, Kael'thas should have tried to reconnect with his ancient allies nearly 7,000 years ago, that is, the High Elves had actually begun to secretly emigrate to Kalimdo, but they had been hiding the news from the human kingdom.

And about the complex relationship between the upper elves and the high elves, we can talk about that later.

"Well, I admit it, I'm going to transfer all my people to the ancient city of Eresaras, but this is an internal matter of the High Elves themselves, and I don't think the Human Empire can control us yet."

Kael'thas threw down a hard word, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, and no one could be happy when the biggest secret of his heart was peeked through.

"Of course, we have no right to stop the High Elves from saving themselves from the crisis."

Lotamo rubbed his white beard, he glanced at the expression on Kael'thas face, and after a moment, he gave his chips:

"So you don't need to worry about the alliance agreement between Quel'Thalas and the Empire, and then grit your teeth and send the Sunsail Fleet to help the human civilians of Lordaeron's Whispering Coast to cross to Kalimdo, Sun King, I know that you have limited resources at hand, so, you can use your fleet to transport your people, and absolutely no one will blame you."

"In exchange, I want the Firewing Mage Legion to build portals for my people! There are at least 2 of them per city, and my royal mage told me that even for the High Elves, it would be difficult to build a portal through two continents, but it would be much easier if it was just a portal from the North to Kurtilas. ”

He looked at Kael'thas and said sincerely:

"The whole of Northern Xinjiang is now tied together with ants, and if we don't help each other, no one will want to leave when the final blow is delivered by the Dark Blade... And, Kael'thas, are you so willing to give up your ancestral land to Tyrion? Haven't you thought about counterattacking back to the Eastern Kingdoms in the future? ”

"Do you think I wouldn't have thought about that?"

The words between the two of them were spoken, and Kael'thas no longer cared about disguising his inner emotions, he took a deep breath, looked at the Human Emperor, and said in a deep voice:

"Every day I close my eyes, I can see the collapse of the sunwell, my father, my loyal people, the addictions that afflict my people, the pain that our civilization carries... If I could, I would even like to kill Stormwind City now and fight to the death with Tyrion, and I'm sure you have the urge too, but we can't... The people, the people are the most important thing, there is no point in indulging in personal hatred, at least for the king, that is not the most important thing. ”

"Then what if I say that I have a way to accumulate strength for a future counteroffensive by the two races, and find a way?"

Lothar also took a deep breath, and slowly handed a few pages of the book full of juanxiu characters to the Sun King, who took the letter in his hand suspiciously, and after only a few glances, his expression immediately became serious.

"It's a... A brand new class? Very peculiar, Holy Fire Oil? Holy Silver? Never heard of it, but judging by these materials alone, it does have a certain exorcism, no... It's a class system designed to banish the dark forces, and it's amazing! That's what the empire has worked out? ”

Facing Kael'thas's widening eyes, Lothar nodded a little awkwardly:

"Well, you can think so, but the most important thing is that this special kind of soldier needs to be cultivated in a formation, and the resources spent are cheaper than training paladins or mages, and there are no racial restrictions, and both races benefit from it!"

"On the day when the Human Empire completes its westward journey, Sun King, if the alliance between the two races is still as indestructible as it is now, I will personally hand over the entire book of the Holy Book to you, which contains all the essentials of training the Ash Knights and the methods of training, but now, I also ask you to keep it a secret!"

Lothar's expression became serious, and he lowered his voice:

"Neither my empire nor your kingdom is safe, and Darkblade's spies are running rampant, so we need to be careful in this eventful time."

This time, the Sun King did not answer immediately, he leaned back in his chair and thought about it repeatedly, and Lothar did not urge him, the Human Emperor knew very well that it was not easy for a king who was truly responsible for the people to make such a determination, but he believed that Kael'thas would definitely make the right choice, this High Elf was wise when he was a prince, and he believed that that wisdom did not change with the change of Kael'thas identity.

After 10 minutes of silence, the Sun King, who had thought everything clearly, opened his eyes, stood up, straightened his robes, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to Lothar:

"Then, the mages of the Firewing Legion will enter the human city this afternoon, the materials required for the strategic portal are complicated, and it is very troublesome to maintain, I hope that before we arrive, the mages of the human will be prepared, and your people... There is a certain error in the landing point of the portal of that level, and it was not originally designed for civilians. ”

"And I've heard that there are also undead haunts on the island of Tirtiras, and if you don't arrange the responders in advance, the people you send there will probably become a bunch of refugees."

"These are the things I should consider, and I promise my people will show their brave side."

Lothar stretched out his hand, clasped it with His Majesty's hand in Kael'thas, he looked at the Sun King, and whispered:

"I've heard that the ancient city of Eresaras isn't so peaceful, if you need help when you get there... Come to us at the Glitter Plains, the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and the Dust Swamp, which will be the future frontier of the Empire. ”

These words made Kael'thas raise an eyebrow, and he also lowered his voice:

"The Night Elves have pitted you, Emperor Lothar, those three places are all barren lands of Kalimdor!"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Lothar shook his head with a smile, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:

"If my people can't even overcome such difficulties, then the empire is really hopeless."
