Upon entering the palace, Jiang Jie was greeted by Fenna and Jaina, who had been waiting for him.
As Princess Calia's special advisors, they were both summoned by Princess Calia because Her Highness had encountered a problem.
The King's Hall in Lordaeron is very large, with a vast space under a circular dome. Around the hall, seven or eight meters above the ground, there are small platforms, on which different people are now standing.
Every individual represents a force capable of influencing the world.
On the platform closest to the throne was a female mage with the appearance of an adult woman but a full head of white hair.
She is Archmage Modera, a member of the Council of Six, and one of its most senior members.
She held in her hand a staff that emitted a purple and blue light, even taller than herself. It was the " Grand Archmage's Torrent Staff," an extremely rare "standard purple epic staff," which was owned by each member of the Council of Six, serving as a symbol of their status.
Of course, Antonidas, Kael'thas, and Krasus the Red Dragon are all incredibly wealthy, and they each have their own special staffs that are even better than the Grand Torrent!
She came representing the Kirin Tor Council, a position of great importance.
On the platform on the other side of the throne stood a High Elf mage who appeared somewhat frail but actually possessed unimaginable power within him. He was clad in luxurious purple epic gear, and the golden staff in his hand seemed even better than Master Modera's. It was the " Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei," one of the finest epic staffs.
His gaze was fixed on Jaina the moment she entered.
He is Kael'thas Sunstrider, a member of the Council of Six, and also the crown prince of the High Elf kingdom of Quel'Thalas. He comes from Dalaran, but represents the Sunstrider Dynasty and his father, the Sun King Anasterian Sunstrider.
On another platform stood two people: a polite young man and a mature and composed middle-aged man.
They are Prince Liam Greymane from the Kingdom of Gilneas, and Lord Darius Crowley, representing King Genn Greymane of Kingdom of Gilneas.
On the platform opposite them stood Admiral Daelin Proudmoore from Kul Tiras. He was the true ruler of Kul Tiras, commanding the largest and most powerful fleet in the Kul Tiras, with hundreds of warships!
At this moment, Admiral Daelin's gaze lingered on Jaina, a look that was both authoritative and tender, for Jaina was his daughter, his most outstanding and beloved daughter.
However, when he saw Fenna standing next to Jaina, he instantly felt uncomfortable, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Because Fenna Goldsword was also his daughter, his eldest daughter, though she was born to a High Elf mage. To secure his position in Kul Tiras, he had left Fenna and her mother, and had only seen them a few times over the years.
On the platform further out, there was a half-naked, red-haired Wildhammer Dwarves.
He is Falstad Wildhammer, Highlord of Aerie Peak, a war hero of World War II, who once led a team with Archmage Rhonin and High Elf Ranger Vereesa to rescue the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, earning him fame throughout the Eastern Kingdoms!
These people represent most of the Lordaeron.
King Terenas was absent, and Princess Calia stood beneath the throne. It was she who dispatched messengers to summon the ambassadors of various nations.
Logically, the leaders of all factions should personally attend this meeting, which concerns the survival of the entire Lordaeron and even the entire Eastern Kingdoms.
The problem is that Princess Calia, who chaired the meeting, is not the ruler of Lordaeron either, so some faction leaders did not attend in person; only the leaders of Kul Tiras and the master of Aerie Peak came.
One was acting for his daughter, the other for Lord Korth'azz, who had been captured by the Dreadlord. This, too, is politics.
Standing next to Princess Calia was Uther the Lightbringer.
As the Grand Master of the Order of the Silver Hand, Uther's status is so high that in the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron, he is second only to King Terenas, Prince Arthas, and now Princess Calia. He is naturally qualified to stand here.
Besides them, no one else was qualified to stand here, not even the other Grand Knight of the Silver Hand.
The talks didn't seem to be going well; Jiang Jie even heard an argument when he came in.
What are they arguing about?
In short, the ambassadors extend their sincere greetings and deepest sympathy for Lordaeron's present and future plight, and are prepared to call upon their respective country's Priest and priests to pray for Lordaeron and for Lordaeron people to overcome this difficult time.
As for sending troops to provide support? Sorry, that's not a good idea!
Your own prince has succumbed to evil and is wreaking havoc on your own territory. Isn't that an internal affair? We can't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, can we? We strictly adhere to international principles!
And isn't the rampage of the Undead terrifying?
We know how powerful those Undead are! You Lordaeron have Assassins' Order, and we have intelligence organizations, okay?
Oh, right, there's also a really Dreadlord named " Tichondrius "?
Very powerful? Very scary?
Are you taking advantage of us because we're not well-educated?
Our country's scholars and mages have already studied this. The Dreadlord is indeed powerful, but it seems Dreadlord excels at intrigue and trickery rather than direct combat. What's there to be afraid of! Besides, he's targeting Lordaeron, okay?
Kul Tiras, needless to say, is just an island nation. What's there to worry about? You Undead, come and attack me from across the sea! Do you believe I'll wipe you out on the open ocean? Kul Tiras's navy is the number one in Azeroth!
Gilneas isn't afraid. The Greymane Wall is already completed; they can simply block it off and see if the enemy can get in! That wall is so high, it's comparable to the Thoradin's Wall! The Thoradin's Wall could stop Troll, and the Greymane Wall can stop the Undead!
However, Lord Darius Crowley's expression was grim, because his territory lay beyond the Greymane Wall and was unprotected...
The Sunstrider Dynasty has even less to fear.
Not to mention the distance and difficulty for the Undead to attack, even if a million Undead were to besiege the city, what would there be to fear? Silvermoon City's Runestone Barrier has existed for thousands of years, blocking Troll and Orcs, so it can certainly block those rotten corpses!
Dalaran's Violet Citadel Barrier boasts formidable defensive capabilities, easily comparable to Silvermoon City's Runestone Barrier. What's there to fear? Furthermore, Dalaran possesses the largest number of Archmage; if they were to cast spells together, believe me, they could instantly annihilate 100,000 Undead.
As for Aerie Peak, to be honest, its territory is surrounded by mountains, so it seems quite difficult for the Undead to break through the mountain barriers.
Politics is nothing more than a series of exchanges of interests and endless wrangling.
Lordaeron is currently beset by internal and external troubles and cannot offer these countries and powers anything, so why would they help you?
