Ignoring the shouting mages, Duke and his party passed through a huge inner city gate and went to the state guesthouse in the west of the city. There was no other way. For safety reasons, the area with the portal could not be in the same area as where the politicians were staying.
At this time, a Lordaeron mage came to his senses: What the hell! How many people came through the portal from Stormwind Kingdom just now?
There are hundreds of people here, right?
Not only were the people of Lordaeron confused, but even King Llane, who came to greet Anduin, was bewildered: Didn't they say that in order to save costs, every gold coin should be used to restore the country?
Why are there suddenly hundreds of knights coming?
Where did the war horses come from?
You have to know that war horses are not marine creatures. If they are tossed on the sea for ten days or half a month, they will often be half dead, and they are often sick when they get off the ship.
What's going on with these three hundred spirited and tall horses?
"You all came here through the portal!?" Not to mention Llane, even the Archmage-level court mage behind Llane opened his mouth wide. Well, two black cavities can be clearly seen.
Anduin curled his lips at Duke, and Llane understood immediately.
Duke rubbed the back of his head and said, "I'm sorry, Llane, I didn't tell you in advance. The situation this time is a bit complicated. Anyway, teleporting so many people and horses at once may be the only round trip in the next few years."
Huh? Pick-up and drop-off included?
Where did the God of Law come from?
Llane easily spotted the four discordant people in the team. There was no way, these guys were too conspicuous. The whole team seemed to take a detour when they saw them.
As he and Duke walked into the State Guesthouse, Llane said, "Duke, this... this triumphal ceremony is a big deal. You have to tell me, what's going on with them?"
After entering, closing the door, and making sure no one was eavesdropping, Duke told Llane and Anduin the answer.
A few seconds later, the two Stormwind bosses were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
At the same time, in the main hall of the Lordaeron Palace, several kings were holding a salon.
"Thank you again for your hospitality, Your Majesty." The speaker was a tall, black-haired nobleman with a deep and powerful voice. "Defeating those evil and filthy orcs is your greatest achievement as the leader of the Alliance of Lordaeron. We should do something to prevent the pure Alliance from being corrupted by the remaining traitors."
"If it succeeds..." King Terenas, dressed in a noble and elegant golden and white robe, nodded slowly: "Lordaeron and the Alliance will remember you, Lord Prestor. Through your analysis and the absolute evidence, I think Gilneas and Stromgarde have more or less understood the current situation."
The elder Genn Greymane nodded happily. Then Thoras Trollbane, who was in his prime, rubbed his brows vigorously, as if he was troubled by Terenas' words, but in the end he nodded carefully to show his agreement.
"Thank you, Your Majesties, for your understanding." King Terenas himself was not short, but Prestor's obviously much taller figure still gave him a sense of oppression.
The Lord Prestor smiled, showing his white teeth. It was obvious that the three kings present were truly superior people, outstanding people.
However, in front of Lord Prestor, it was obvious that this lord had more kingly temperament than any of the three of them.
This is really an amazing thing.
Lord Prestor had short, shiny black hair, a clean-shaven beard, and a thin, eagle-like face that attracted the attention of many women in the court. He gave people a feeling that he was more noble than any other prince.
No, it should even be said that in front of him the three kings were more like ministers of country-born origin.
He came to Lordaeron before the liberation of Ironforge. Prestor's perfect manners and elegant temperament first conquered the hearts of the upper class of Lordaeron. When King Genniels returned to Lordaeron on a griffin, even the notoriously picky King Genn smiled, which was extremely rare.
Prestor, a young noble who was an unknown name just a few months ago, has now become a celebrity.
It was very simple. The political views he put forward made the high nobles of the entire northern continent feel as if they had eaten a thousand-year-old ginseng fruit, and each of the hundred thousand pores in their bodies exuded a cool and refreshing feeling.
First of all, since this is the Alliance of Lordaeron, the triumphal ceremony must be held in the capital of Lordaeron, the leader of the alliance, otherwise it would be a blasphemy to the entire alliance. Every country in the alliance must send troops to participate in the triumphal ceremony, and the number and types of troops are determined by King Terenas. At this point, every noble in Lordaeron couldn't stop smiling.
Likewise, the captive presentation ceremony must also be held in Lordaeron City. All captives must be paraded in Lordaeron City and then distributed by Lordaeron. (In fact, the Lordaeron people can pick the strongest ones to hold grand gladiatorial contests to attract audiences and recoup funds. The stronger ones can be sent to mine, and the weaker ones can be sent to allies.)
In particular, Warchief Orgrim will kneel before King Terenas personally.
Confiscate all the warships of the Horde and distribute them to Gilneas and Lordaeron according to the original proportion of troops sent. Although the huge warships of the Horde look poorly decorated, the solid keels and sturdy decks inside can definitely improve the naval level of the two countries by three levels.
Request Quel'Thalas to continue sending ranger troops to help Lordaeron clear out the remnants of the orcs in Tirisfal Glades.
For the rest, there are various small conditions.
The fact is that almost every country in the eleven countries of the Alliance has been severely damaged in the war. There is no profit to be made from squeezing them, but these measures, which have no real significance, can greatly satisfy the vanity of the people of Lordaeron, and even the people of Gilneas and Stromgradee.
After gaining the initial trust of the northern nobles, it was his suggestion to send the Alterac Eagle Knights, who were eager to clear their name on the battlefield, to transport grain before the Battle of Blackrock Mountain.
"Those traitors are not trustworthy. Leaving them on the battlefield will only make them vulnerable to the fierce attack of the Horde." He once advised Terenas to seize Haas's control of the Alterac army, and then disperse all the Alterac knights into various Lordaeron cavalry regiments.
Although Stromgrade and other countries also felt that it was necessary to take military control measures against the once-rebellious Alterac Army under the circumstances at the time, they believed that after the war, they should no longer continue to exercise unilateral control over the Alterac Army.
At this time, Prestor stood up again and used his eloquent words to give a reasonable explanation for everything. What was even more amazing was that by chance, he found evidence to support his point of view.
