"Thank you for coming all the way to this meeting, Countess Caterina."

Varian. King Ureon sat in the King's Hall at Lordaeron, and said to the charismatic Countess, who sat beside him, in a long dark red dress:

"On behalf of the Wryon family, I express my condolences for what happened to your father."

"It's nothing, Your Majesty."

Katerina. Count Presto nodded politely to the little king, and a hint of sadness flashed across her beautiful face:

"It's really sad that my father disappeared unexpectedly, my brother went mad, and the Presto family is dying away, but since I was a child, my father told me that the Presto family has served the Alliance for generations, so I don't want to miss this great scene today."

The countess, who represented Alterac's inheritance, blinked her eyes, and after taking a sip of wine, she lowered her voice, turned slightly sideways, and said to King Varian beside her:

"But Alterac is not suitable for a weak woman like me to live in at the moment, so I think about it, maybe the stable Storm Kingdom can become a new home for the Presto family... I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty, and offer you everything that the Presto family has. ”

A fragrant breeze came to his face, and the slightly ambiguous way of conversation between the two people made Varian's cheeks a little hot, and his eyes were skimmed downward, and the snow-white on the chest of the countess in the low-cut robe made the little king more and more embarrassed, and he could only pretend to be immersed in the wine, and after drinking a large glass of wine, the little king, who was a little drunk, nodded to the countess who I had seen pity:

"Of course, Stormwind welcomes all nobles who are willing to emigrate, especially a long-established family like Presto, and Uncle Berval has a very good sense of you, and he often talks about you in front of me these days, praising you as a true example of nobility in the Alliance."

"Oh?"

A gleam flashed in Countess Caterina's eyes, and she nodded decently:

"Then it seems that the Duke of Vortagan will undoubtedly become the new friend of the Presto family."

The exchange between the two did not affect the ongoing meeting, in fact, there were too many people attending this meeting today, and in terms of noble status, His Majesty Varian probably did not rank in the top ten, in the ongoing meeting, he was a real junior, and he could only sit at the end of the king's seat, with the great nobles from the entire alliance.

Look at the attendees sitting in the lead.

Archbishop Alonthos of the Church of the Holy Light of Humanity. Fao, a great man who has even surpassed the king in the hearts of the people, sits at the beginning of the king's round table in his solemn ceremonial robes to preside over today's meeting.

On either side of him sat the last bloodline of Soladin the Great, proposing to rebuild the Anduin of the Arathso Empire. Lothar, and the High Elf Sun King, His Majesty Anastarian, who was invited.

The elven emperor came here for only one purpose, and that was to test the sword held by Lothar at the request of the other kings, which is said to be the personal sword of Emperor Soladin the Great and the symbol of the human emperor, Scamdor. Exterminator.

Anastarian. The Sunstrider, probably the only surviving existence that has seen Scamdor 2,800 years ago, and who is absolutely impossible to lie, is undoubtedly the most appropriate tester and witness.

Because of the covenant between humans and the High Elves: as long as the bloodline of Soladin asks for it, Quel'Salas will gladly agree.

Therefore, King Anastarian's arrival today has another symbolic meaning, once Lothar rebuilds the Arathor Empire, then Quel'Thalas, who has just broken away from the Alliance, whether the Silvermoon Councillors in the country want to or not, must become staunch allies of the Arathor Empire again in front of the reborn Skamdor.

At this time, the Sun King of the High Elves was wearing a magic glove, observing the Emperor Saber Scamdo in front of him almost every detail, the meaning of this sword to human civilization is too important to be slackened in the slightest, and before the Sun King finally determines the authenticity, all kings must wait patiently.

The expressions of the kings present were also very different.

King of the most powerful human kingdom of Lordaeron, Terenus. Minethiel's face was calm, as if what was happening in front of him was unimportant.

Solas, King of Stormgard. Thorbairn was lost in thought, his eyes shining with a vague anticipation and relaxation, Stormgard's domain was the core of the Arathor Empire, and the long-standing vicious rumors in the alliance about how the Torbain family had squeezed out the descendants of Soladin the Great, and even drove the young Lothar to Stormwind to fulfill their usurpation, would be washed away today.

And King Jean of Gilne. Greymane's face was gloomy, not bothered by today's meeting, but by the growing bestiality crisis north of Gilneys, and his trusted general, Darius. Lord Crowley had defeated werewolves and wolves in the previous Silverpine Forest Wars, but instead of solving the problem of the spread of bestiality, the spread of bestiality had not abated as the soldiers returned home, but had become more and more rampant.

King of Kul Tiras. Prodmore also had an ugly face, the reason why he was in a bad mood was because of the orcs, Lothar forcibly ordered them to accept the initiative on orc peace 2 days ago, which directly ignited all the angry flames in Dai Lin's heart, he wanted to strangle every orc, how could he make peace with those green skins who had committed heinous crimes?

Dai Lin has made up his mind that at today's meeting, he must convince the other kings to wipe out the Greenskins in the Arathi Heights!

Dalaran's representative, the old mage Antonidas, had a gentle face and a usual smile, and he seemed to have no worries about what was about to happen.

Coupled with the tender offensive of the Countess of Caterina, the young king Varian, who is difficult to resist. Wrynn, the kings and representatives of the Alliance's Seven Kingdoms, is the perfect symbol of all things in the world.

"Smack"

The High Elf Sun King put the sword in his hand in front of his eyes, this crisp sound woke everyone up, everyone's eyes were on him, His Majesty Anastarian slowly untied the magic glove in his hand, he stood up, coughed lightly, those golden eyes swept over the kings and nobles in front of him, he said in an affirmative tone:

"There is no doubt that the sword in front of me is the same sword that Emperor Soladin used when he expelled the forest trolls! It is also a symbol of his noble royal power. ”

"Wow"

This affirmation made the nobles in the entire hall start to whisper like boiling hot water, in this situation, everyone knows that the alliance... It's going to change.

"IMHO! Honorable Sun King. ”

Garthris, a general from the kingdom of Lordaeron, was the first to stand up, and he asked:

"My ancestor was one of the personal guards of Emperor Soladin, and in his diary, he described the sword of Emperor Soladin more than once, and in my memory, that sword should have been a traditional straight-edged sword, with a blade on one side, and at the top of the blade to enhance its lethality..."

"I know what you're trying to say, Mr. Gasseris."

The Sun King directly stretched out his hand to interrupt the general's rebuttal, and he looked at the questioning eyes in front of him, and he explained:

"I have seen Scamdo more than once, and I have even held it in my own hand with the permission of Emperor Soladin. The Exterminator has added a lot of rare metals to the casting process, and adopted some High Elf casting methods, which also gives this sword its special properties. ”

"When a magic weapon is infected with foreign energy, it will change its appearance to adapt to the transmission of magical power, so this sword is different from what your ancestors described, and that's right..."

As he spoke, Anastarian reached out and grasped the hilt of Skadom's sword, and in the infusion of his pure arcane magic, the bronze-colored, key-like sword in his hand slowly changed shape under the gaze of everyone and under the guidance of magic, and finally became the simple appearance of the straight-edged sword recorded in all the human texts.

This scene made all the nobles shut their mouths in questioning, and the Sun King's eyes shone with a touch of nostalgia, and he whispered:

"Look, this sword remembers me... A weapon like this has been infused with some kind of noble spirit, and it is not the sword-bearer who chooses it, but the sword-bearer, and in different lineages, it will take on different forms, which is normal, everyone. ”

"The sword of the king, which symbolizes the beginning and prosperity of human civilization, should also have such magical characteristics, congratulations, mankind has finally found its lost history and inheritance today."

With that, the Sun King held the sword in his hand in both hands and handed it back to Lothar, and the moment it fell into Lothar's hands, Scamdor began to change shape again, and finally turned into the double-edged sword that burned with flames.

The flame in the center of the blades danced, shining a unique light in this hall, and the majesty carried on this sword slowly spread, once again making everyone feel the throbbing in their blood, this emotional beating was not enough to affect people's minds and wills, but it made them more willing to obey the sword wielder.

All doubts grew quieter and quieter, until at last, even the slightest sound died down, and Archbishop Fao stood up, his cane propped himself up, and the exchange with the Prophet Viren about the teachings of the Holy Light gave the old man a new strength to support him as he continued to move on, and he stretched out his hands, the golden light echoing through the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to discuss an extremely important matter, about the interests of all peoples, about the interests of all peoples, 2,800 years ago, after Soladin the Great established the Arathso Empire, he disappeared, the empire he left behind fell apart, and humanity entered the era of the Great Division, but today, thousands of years later, we see the hope of reintegration!"

The soft voice of Fa'o came to everyone's ears, and he said sincerely:

"Fragmentation can only be weakened, and the tragedy of Alterac has proven it, we are undoubtedly in a time of change, the invasion of the orcs has alerted us that this world will no longer be the same, and in order to protect our people, in order to protect ourselves, we must move from division to unity!"

"It's going to be a long process, it may be painful, it's going to be exploited by the conspirators, but we know it's a process that will inevitably begin, and instead of waiting for fate to push us to that dangerous moment, let's take the initiative to start this great undertaking from now on."

"Therefore, I, Alonsos. Fao, under the witness of the ancestor Saber who returned to human civilization, hereby proposes, by all the members of the alliance gathered here, to rebuild the Holy Arathso Empire! ”

The words of Fao's crown fell, and Solas, the king of the kingdom of Stormgard, stood up with the support of Prince Garin, and leaned slightly towards Lothar, who was standing on the side:

"As a descendant of generals from the time of Soladin the Great, I support the rebuilding of the empire in the name of my ancestor Ignaus, in the name of the blood of Thorbain that flows in my body! Stormgard is willing to dedicate his strength to human civilization! ”

Varian was the second to stand up, and he said loudly in a young voice:

"The letters left by my ancestor Duke Ureon are full of regret and pain about the division of the empire, and as his descendant and the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, I am willing to make up for the regrets of my ancestors, and I support the rebuilding of the empire!"

And then there's Dai Lin.

"The ancestors of Kurtilas were generals who were ordered by Soladin the Great to open up the sea, and to this day, the Prodmore family still abides by the Emperor's orders to defend the seas of the human empire, and we have no reason to refuse the rebuilding of the empire, and we are willing to obey all the right orders."

"Gilney's ancestors guarded the borders of the Empire until now, and the Greymans have never forgotten the glory of the Alathor Empire, and I am willing to support the rebuilding of the Empire! And I also believe that the nascent empire will treat all kingdoms equally, and not like a discredited alliance. ”

King Jean spoke, glancing at Terenus sitting beside him, the mockery in his eyes barely hidden.

Master Antonidas calmly said:

"Since the time of Arazo, Dalaran has been committed to gathering wisdom for human civilization and cultivating the power to encircle the empire, and we fully agree with the rebuilding of the empire! And willing to give their own strength for it. ”

In the midst of the gaze of all the nobles, Countess Catalina stood up and said in a sweet voice:

"Although my father, Lord Presto, has never actually been crowned the throne of the Kingdom of Alterac, there should be no other nobleman present who has the right to claim the Kingdom of Alterac more than me, but the withered Presto family is no longer able to take charge of Alterac, therefore, under the witness of all the noble members of the Alliance today, on behalf of the Presto family, I return the management and rule of Alterac to its original owner!"

"I and the entire Presto family are willing to contribute to the nascent Asora Empire, and I believe that Alterac will be the new foundation for the rebuilding of the Empire! It will also become a royal domain under the direct rule of the Human Emperor! ”

This decision made the eyes of all the nobles widen, the Presto family is no longer supportive, this is completely a posture of selling themselves, but I have to say that this beautiful countess is definitely not a vase, from her hand today, it can be seen that in the future Alaso Empire, the Presto family will definitely become a hot noble.

She used the chaotic land that she simply couldn't manage to win a bright future for her family, which was simply too cost-effective.

But the nobles were more concerned about another matter, and almost all eyes fell on the silent Terenus. His Majesty Minahir, under the gaze of those eyes with various meanings, the old king seemed to be several years old.

Eventually, he said with some difficulty:

"Lordaeron... Lordaeron, agreed, and supported the rebuilding of the empire... But before we do that, we'd better talk about orcs. ”
