After the royal ceremony, the unprepared Reagan was shocked by the news.
It's not that he doesn't know the dangers of the Cursed Land, but Jaina has commanded the three armies for many years and has extremely rich experience in facing enemies. Coupled with a wily Leoric, she can still be calm even if she encounters high-ranking generals in the Burning Legion.
How could we lose two people without any reason?
However, Varian's face was extremely serious, and it was obvious that he was not joking. The knight asked with a headache: "Your Majesty, I wonder what else Lord Leoric revealed in the report? To be honest, I really can't help it.
I believe that Jaina would enter the Dark Portal rashly without knowing the enemy situation. This is definitely not her cautious style."
"Of course, I think so too," Varian nodded and said, "But one possibility cannot be ruled out: that is, Sophie was in danger while chasing Kazzak, leaving Jaina without too much time to think, so she could only
We gave up hesitation in order to save our companions, so we entered the Dark Portal together."
"That would be a bit tricky," Havers said musingly. "The other end of the Dark Portal is connected to Draenor, the home of the orcs. Not only is the Burning Legion raging on that broken land, there have been several waves of
The well-known forces of good and evil are also involved. Ms. Gianna and Ms. Sophie are weak, so it is difficult to say that they will not be attacked by those guys."
Regan shook his head and said: "I'm not too worried about this. After all, Gianna's strength is there. As long as she doesn't mess with others, those demon cubs won't be able to take advantage of her..."
"What if someone else wants to mess with her?" Varian interrupted Regan and said solemnly, "The current situation is not as simple as you think, and the opening of the Dark Portal is by no means a coincidence..." The Storm
The king looked at his two confidants and said word by word, "We have reason to believe that those who have never forgotten Azeroth are still coveting this land, and the restart of the Dark Portal may be his first step!
"
Regan and Havers looked at each other, and the latter lowered his head and said, "In that case, does your Majesty have any clues?"
"It's just an outline..." Varian tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne and thought for a moment. "You and the tribesmen have conquered the Qiraji Empire together. After so many days, their attitudes and views towards the Alliance are now
how?"
Regen said: "There is no difference from before. There are tough ones and moderate ones. Generally speaking, it is still a 50-50 split. Fortunately, this time Saurfang Overlord is a centrist and does not have many prejudices against us."
Varian snorted from his nose: "Varok Saurfang, he had a share in the massacre of Stormwind City back then. I still clearly remember that when Sir Lothar led me to break out, one of his attendants
He was killed by that orc."
"Now these guys are starting to pursue peace, and I don't want to think about how many innocent lives have been ruined in their hands." Varian's face was a little gloomy, obviously remembering the unhappy past.
"Your Majesty, please calm down," Regen quickly advised. "The beasts at that time were mostly controlled by the demon blood in their bodies. Their bloodthirsty and cruelty were infinitely amplified, so they committed endless crimes. Now that Thrall is in power,
They have tended to reflect and restrain themselves, and we should also give them generous tolerance..."
Varian glanced at the knight and said helplessly: "You are such a good gentleman! No wonder Jaina fell in love with you..."
"Uh..." Ragen touched his nose and said nothing. Obviously, everyone knew about what happened between him and Jaina, and it would be a bit pretentious to hide it like this.
"Okay, we'll talk about the two of you later, let me handle the matter at hand first!" The Storm King stood up and said, "Since the tribe is not too hostile to us, and there is a reason for this joint operation,
Success stories, I think we should also tell them the news about the opening of the Dark Door."
"Your Majesty thinks...the Alliance alone cannot face the Burning Legion alone?" Havers couldn't help but ask.
Varian nodded: "Yes, I do have such concerns." He paused and added, "Although there are no major changes in the opening of the Dark Portal at the moment, it can be seen from Leoric's report
It can be seen that he is not optimistic about this matter. After all, we know nothing about the world of Draenor and there is no way to guess the enemies hidden in the darkness."
"Then what does Your Majesty mean?"
"First, notify the tribe of this matter as quickly as possible," Varian raised a finger. "Outland is the home of the orcs. Although it has become a broken land, Thrall obviously will not give up this land.
An opportunity to return to a glorious tradition.”
Reagan and Havers nodded in agreement.
"Second, you rest in Elwynn Forest for a while, and then immediately go south to the Cursed Land!" The Storm King raised his second finger, "I will send more troops to assist you in this operation.
Seize the initiative after entering Draenor, and the Horde will inevitably advance when the time comes. I ask you two to always be wary of these guys when cooperating with them. After all, that is their territory, and the away battle will not go well."
"Yes!" Regan and Havers bowed their heads and obeyed the order without any complaints about going out again.
"Very good," Varian nodded appreciatively, "The last point is something you must remember! That is, you must find the whereabouts of the Draenor Expeditionary Force no matter what - if you want to see people alive, you must see corpses.
This point is more important than the previous two requirements! You all should remember it well!"
Regan and Havers looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know why Varian suddenly thought of this. After all, the Draenor Expeditionary Force had been away for more than ten years, and even the only way home was blown up by themselves.
, and Draenor, where the forces of good and evil are intertwined, is extremely dangerous, and their hope of survival is slim.
Seeing that the two men did not answer, Varian asked in a more serious tone: "Tell me, can the Seventh Legion, which never gives up, complete this mission?"
Havers seemed to be alerted by the words Seventh Legion, and nodded firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to your trust!"
"Well, very good. I will be waiting for your good news in Stormwind City." Varian smiled with satisfaction. He was about to end the official conversation and chat with his two confidant generals about other things, but he didn't want to be hurriedly walked in.
The guard interrupted
"Your Majesty, there is a person outside the fortress who claims to be the Draenei envoy and wants to see him. I wonder if..."
"Delaenei?" Varian frowned, "Who are they? Why don't I remember that there is such an intelligent race in Azeroth?"
"You have forgotten, Your Majesty, just over two months ago, agents from MI7 reported that there was an abnormal big explosion in the north of Kalimdor. Because it was the time of the Qiraji War, you did not
Didn't show any concern about this?" the guard reminded from the side.
"Oh...that's what happened. So, those guys are the so-called alien victims?" Varian thought of this. The former director of MI7, Mathias Shore, personally
After returning from exploration in Kalimdor, it was said that some alien visitors crashed on an island in North Kalimdor in a spaceship and settled there.
At that time, Varian was paying attention to the Qiraji war, so he didn't take it seriously. He only sent two routine envoys to express goodwill. After receiving corresponding friendly replies from the other side, he forgot about this little presence.
race
I just didn't expect that they would come to my door in person today, and it was at this relatively delicate moment. The reason naturally made Varian hesitate.
"Your Majesty, there's no harm in meeting them," Regan interjected. "If those guys were really hostile, they wouldn't announce their entry through the front door so loudly."
Varian pondered for a moment, then waved to the guards and said, "Tell them to come in."
"Yes," the guard responded and retreated.
Not long after, two blue humanoid creatures that looked extremely strong were brought in.
They, or should I say them - these creatures look quite intelligent, with facial features and limbs similar to humans, their skin is dark blue, and there is a very obvious tentacle-like object on their chin, although in human aesthetics, it is
Alien, but not particularly annoying
Judging from their appearance and body shape, they should be male, and they are much taller than ordinary humans: even Havers, who is 1.9 meters tall, only reaches their shoulders. At the same time, Regan also noticed that under their gorgeous clothes,
Behind the ornament, there is a thick tail hidden
"Dear Lord of Stormwind City, His Majesty the Human King, on behalf of the people of the Exodar and the Prophet Velen, we would like to say hello to you and your subjects." The messenger in front of him bowed politely and said respectfully to Varian.
Said, while another Draenei handed the gift he was holding to the attendant. Regen next to him felt keenly that it seemed to contain very pure holy light energy.
Varian nodded with a smile and said to the draenei: "Thank you Prophet Velen for your kindness, and I also wish that the people of Exodar will always enjoy precious peace and freedom... I heard that nobles unfortunately suffered during interstellar travel, so I
After landing on the continent of Azeroth, I wonder how many months it will take your compatriots to adapt to the climate and natural conditions there?"
"Your Majesty the King may ask, so far everything has gone well," the Delaney envoy replied respectfully, but there was a hint of helplessness and sorrow in his tone, "Our race has been wandering in every corner of the universe since thousands of years ago.
, seeking shelter on different planets, we have basically developed super adaptability, so the environment of Azeroth is not a problem for us."
Varian was stunned when he heard this, but it was difficult to say that he did not understand the history of the draenei at this time, so he laughed and said: "Ah, it is really an unfortunate experience. I hope the draenei people will not have to do it from now on."
If you continue to be wandering around like this...then why do you want your envoy to come to Stormwind City?"
The envoy seemed to be energized when he heard these words, stood up straight and said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am here for the opening of the Dark Door of the Cursed Land!"
