Chapter 0136 New Alliance Summit (2)(1/2)

 In the magnificent and domineering Queen's Palace in the newly built City of Fire, in a conference hall next to the Queen's Throne Hall, there is a long stone strip table full of heads and important officials of the three tribes of humans, dwarves and elves.

It is called a conference room, but in fact, there are four basketball courts here that are as big as that, and only the fire elements have the conditions to build such a large palace. If it were Lordaeron's most glorious period, I'm afraid their King's Hall is not as big as the conference room of other people, right?

Not to mention the larger queen's main hall outside the conference room. The representatives of the three tribes who just turned around were all confused. Because, in the hall next to this conference room, it was as big as a football field, at least it could squeeze out the next youth dragon in the strengthening company!

Queen Sylvanas of the Kingdom of Quel'thalas led a large number of senior representatives, so she and several senior officials and nobles of the high elves occupied several positions on one side of the long table, while Queen Caria of the Kingdom of New Lordaeron took the position on the other side of the long table together with Marshal Gallith, Commander Dassorhan, and the ruler of the dwarf Wildhammer tribe, Fistard Wildhammer.

As for the other ordinary knights and guards who were not qualified to sit, they stood in line and stood in a row not far behind the bigwigs of their own country, waiting patiently and witnessing the convening of this historic conference.

Since the leaders of all parties gathered in the City of Fire this time not to meet the Queen of the Kingdom of Fire, but to discuss alliances and hold relevant meetings, the leaders of all parties are basically in an equal position, so Shannox, the general manager of the Fire Demon, did not arrange these humans, dwarves and high elves into the hall of the Queen's Palace, but were arranged in the side hall where the meetings are held.

"To be honest, Marshal Garythers, I just looked at it seriously. Even if you give me 50,000 elite soldiers of Lordaeron, if you don't have enough siege equipment, I'm afraid, even if you give me a year, I can't conquer this magnificent palace like a fortress..."

Anyway, I have nothing to do when I am idle. The seat on the main seat of the long table is still empty. The Queen of Fire has not arrived yet, and it is not the official time for the meeting to begin. So, bored, Dassauhan began to talk about his views on the Queen of Fire's palace.

In his opinion, Dassauhan, this palace was actually more like a majestic fortress, not just their queen's palace! Just now, after coming in, he observed carefully that this first floor space alone could at least squeeze out nearly 10,000 soldiers! When encountering an emergency in war, as long as the steel gate of the palace was closed and those defensive posts were arranged inside, the enemy outside could only stare at it.

"Hmph! You're wrong, Dassauhan... With the current strength of our new Lordaeron, you can't even defeat you even if you give you 100,000 soldiers! And don't forget that the queen is still a powerful demigod! If I read correctly, this palace should be a mage tower at the same time! In this case, with those thick tough walls and several yards of steel gates, by then, as long as people guard and cast spells and attack at the same time, no one you come to will be dead enough!"

Marshal Garithers had long been envious and jealous about the fortress-like palace mage tower built by the fire elements and was nervous at the same time! He had thought about it for a long time just now. Before Dassauhan spoke, he had thought about it privately for a while, and the conclusion he came to was amazing!

Because, he actually discovered that even if he concentrated all the troops in the new Lordaeron Kingdom, he might not be able to break through this magnificent palace like a fortress!

After all, the current New Lordaeron does not seem to have much extraordinary power except for the Paladins such as the Silver Knights that are still developing...

Ordinary catapults and explosives may not be able to deal with such incredible steel buildings? Now, there are many of them, namely Paladins and Priests. As for other spell casting professions, there are really very few, and there are even only three or five palace mages. I just want to make it a barely match and make a move.

"Is this impossible? If we concentrate a large number of catapults and use explosive dropping drugs to bombard them, will that not work? Or... can we try to dig the ground or infiltrate the sewer?"

Dassauhan was a little suspicious of the Grand Marshal's words. He never believed that there was an unbreakable fortress, so he quickly took out two or three seemingly reliable offensive methods.

"Hmph! Catalog? The range of those wood bumps is probably not as far as half of that of the other person's mage tower! As for digging or sewers? Haha... I'm even more sorry... The floors of others are steel, and the sewers are full of hot magma rivers. The fire elements do not even need to be sent to defend. Do you dare to send people to drill down and try..."

Marshal Garythers scoffed at Dassauhan's naive thoughts, looking at the tall mage towers around the palace, and the main tower in the main hall that went straight into the sky, obviously can be used for spell attacks beyond the visual range. How far can your catapult hit? I'm afraid, before you push the catapult to the range, you will burn it all out by someone using the magic?

As for the ground and sewer... let alone mention it! Look at the thick snow outside the City of Fire. Now, it is the coldest winter of the year, and this warm palace and city are enough to explain everything! Under the ground, it may have been transformed into a terrifying high-temperature magma pool by the fire elements.

No idiot commander would order soldiers to drill the hot flowing lava, and no soldier would obey such a ridiculous order! If you Dassauhan really dare to give such orders, the soldiers would draw out their swords and mutiny directly, and then chop off your commander, would be a little more likely. You really don't treat the soldiers as human beings?

"Uh...this is true...but, Marshal, don't take it seriously. Am I joking with nothing to do!"

Dassauhan was refuted for a moment and nodded awkwardly in agreement with the Grand Marshal's statement. In his opinion, if the fight really starts, their new Lordaeron may really not be able to do anything to this magnificent palace...

At this time, Dassauhan didn't even think about how they could attack the Queen's Palace without breaking through the same towering and huge steel gate walls outside?

"Hey! Guys, you may not believe it. This is definitely not something I yelled about. Just in this palace now, let alone the clumsy catapults of your Lordaeron, even our dwarfs' siege cannon camp, I'm afraid that we can't do anything to this palace at all!"

The Lord Fistard, who was sitting next to the representative of the human Lordaeron, finally couldn't rest anymore. The dwarves came and were so arrogant that they liked to join in the fun. So, after he just heard that the topic of the human Lordaeron next to him was talking about which he was more interested in, he quickly tilted his body and came over.

"Impossible? Isn't even your dwarf's siege cannons? I know that one of your dwarf's artillery battalions has dozens of cannons, and this palace cannot be destroyed? Then, Lord Fistard, then you're talking about it!"

Dassauhan felt a little incredible. He knew very well the power of the dwarves' cannons: once a shot is shot, the stone walls will collapse! And if there are enough, under the destructive steel shells, no castle can withstand it!

And now, the dwarf leader actually said that the palace could withstand their shelling? How could this be possible? Hearing this statement, even Garithers next to Dassauhan looked at the dwarf curiously, hoping that he could tell a reason.

"Didn't you find it? The gates of their palaces are so thick, while those walls are even thicker!"

The dwarf Fistard muttered dissatisfiedly, "Didn't these humans observe carefully just now?"

"When we came in just now, we had carefully observed: the main load-bearing structure of this palace is composed of tough steel and strange flame runes, and the wall is made of hard rocks with certain magical conduction and metal melted and mixed, and it is a semi-steel and half-stone structure, which is the most hard!"

When they first entered the door, the leader of the dwarf and his representatives, regardless of their face, ran over to study the two doors and walls for a rough study. The dwarfs who were good at making irons and had a deep understanding of various metals quickly understood the material of these walls and gates.

"Even if our largest caliber solid shells hit their walls, they will only be pitted and bounced open. Even if they explode, it will be useless!"

In the eyes of the dwarves, if it is to deal with armored buildings, it is more effective to use solid bullets, while explosion bombs, flower bullets, etc. are used to deal with unobstructed infantry clusters. As for the effect, it is barely powerful.

"If you want to destroy this palace, you may not be able to give me a thousand cannons with the largest caliber! Besides, this is a mage tower, but it will still fight back! If I guess, before we can fight twice, the artillery troops will be wiped out by magic!"

After saying that, the dwarf lord Fistard of Eagle Nest Mountain could only shake his head helplessly, pick up the wine provided by the fire demons on the stone table, and took the big glass and took a sip.

"Does we have no way to deal with it? This is absolutely impossible!"

Dassauhan still asked unwillingly, he absolutely did not believe that there would be any unbreakable fortresses in this Azeroth world. If there were indeed, it would be just that they had not found the right way.

"As long as there is a way, there must be a way! We must find a mage to deal with this fortress-style mage tower! Perhaps, there may be any good way for the mages of their high elves?"

The dwarf lord Fistard shrugged, then Nunu's bearded and pulled the big mouth, signaling Dassauhan to look at Quelthalas and his group opposite.

Although the high elves are living a miserable life now, they are still a country of magic civilization for thousands of years. Their background is really beyond the reach of human kingdoms and dwarves who are not good at magic. The dwarves in their Eagle Nest Mountain are only good at digging, ironwork, forging, engineering, and raising griffins and magic. They are beyond help.

“…”

When the dwarfs opposite the long table and the two humans looked at him, Queen Sylvanas, who had been listening to what they were talking about, and other high elf officials and nobles, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, pretending to be unable to hear, and looked away awkwardly.

They didn't want to take on this topic, they never thought of attacking this steel palace, nor did they think of becoming enemies with the Kingdom of Fire Elements. Therefore, don't ask them about the matter they are discussing.

"You guys... let me tell you what you are good... Please, please stop talking about such boring topics!"

The queen of the New Lordaeron Kingdom finally couldn't stand it anymore, so Queen Caria Minaihill shook her head helplessly, had to turn her head and scolded the two people sitting on her right.

Now, you, Marshal Lordaeron, the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, and a great lord of Eagle Nest Mountain, two tall and one short, three people gathered together, muttering to study how to break through the Queen's Palace of the Flame Kingdom. If this is spread, aren't you really afraid of causing misunderstandings?

"Oh! By the way, I've always been wondering, why didn't I see those mixed balls from Gilness, Storm Kingdom and Iron Fort?"

After a few people chatted for a while, Lord Fistard and Wildhammer of Eagle Nest Mountain found that there seemed to be several missing kingdoms here. If the Kingdom of Gilness comes or doesn't come, it will be normal for a group of things that are closed to the country. No one knows what they are like now.

However, the bronze bearded dwarves of the Storm Kingdom and the Iron Fortress should send some envoys or people? What we are going to discuss now is the major event of alliance. Here, Fistard did not see the representatives of these two kingdoms?

“…”

Several representatives of the Kingdom of Lordaeron began to look at each other. They were indeed not sure about this matter, so they could only notify Eagle Nest Mountain, which was closer to Tyre's Hand. As for Stormwind City and Iron Fortress, they didn't care about it for the time being.

"I know this question more clearly."

At this moment, Sylvanas's crisp voice finally rang out for the first time. Quel'thalas didn't want to answer the sensitive topic of attacking the Queen's Palace in front. However, she could have a brief chat about the current one.

"The high elves who retreated from Dalaran to Quelthalas and the Dalaran mages, they brought us an important news: the Kingdom of Gilness is probably now destroyed by the undead. Their Greymann Wall is like Dalaran. Under the magic of the great demon, it is like a pile of sand and it does not work... How much of the Gilness people can survive in the end is still an unknown number..."

Speaking of this, Queen Sylvanas paused for a moment, sighed and shook her head, and gave everyone a time to digest, before continuing to talk.

"As for the Kingdom of Storm, their performance... the arrogant Countess Katrana Presto and Duke of Bervar Fertagen, they refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Fire and refused to send people to participate in the alliance meeting. Under their influence, the content of the reply from the Bronzebearded Dwarf of the Iron Fort and the meaning to be expressed is similar..."

Sylvanas knew this so clearly because not long ago, she used magic to contact the envoy fleets she sent to Stormwind City. After informing the other party of Quel's saras's incident and the news of her ascension, she also conveyed information about the formation of a new alliance. However, the other party's behavior was rude and arrogant, and it seemed that she no longer took the northern kingdoms seriously.

"So that's what it is..."

Hearing this, both the Dwarves and the Lordaeron's bosses began to frown. They still needed time to digest some of these contents, whether it was the demise of the Kingdom of Gilnes, or the attitudes of the Kingdom of Storm and Iron Fort, they were deeply touched.

After hearing such a thrilling news from the Queen of Quel'thalas, everyone began to slowly fall silent. For a moment, the huge conference room became silent, and there were no more noises about dwarves and humans discussing how to break through the palace.

...

"Hey! I said! We have been waiting for so long, and now it should be almost time, right? Why haven't the Queen of the Flame Kingdom come to the meeting yet?"

The dwarf's leader began to slap the table and yelled. He was so irritable that he was already impatient!

"Look at the sunshine, look at what time it is? Or should we wait until after dinner? We dwarves rushed over, but were so busy that we didn't have time to eat!"

When Fistard Manchuk and the two dwarfs on the side drank all the entire bucket of ale that the fire demons brought to entertain guests, he looked at the sunlight that was slanted from the window, and, impatiently waiting and had nothing to do, began to shout loudly in dissatisfaction.

Until now, in this huge conference room, except for the leaders and representatives of the three tribes, the queen of the fire element has not even seen a shadow!

What exactly is the other party doing? Is it really good to just leave the three kings of their group here? Their Flame Kingdom can't be more comfortable, so they quickly come out and discuss the matter, and then treat them with delicious food and wine. Wouldn't it be a perfect ending to have a breakup meal together?

"Dasauhan, we are here, we have been waiting for almost an hour, right?"

The Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Lordaeron also frowned and asked Dassauhan next to him. He was a little impatient to wait now. Where are they who left the leaders of the Three Kingdoms here and ignored them? There are two queens and a dwarf lord here, and they can also be said to be three kings! This is simply inappropriate!

No matter how the Fire Kingdom is going to be, is this really too much? What does their fire element treat their men as? They will linger when they summon it and then leave it alone? Then, they are still like they ignore it now?

“…”

Compared with the increasingly impatient performance of humans and dwarves, the high elves sat upright in their positions, closing their eyes slightly resting, as if the noise on the opposite side had nothing to do with them. They still maintained the basic cultivation and etiquette of the high elves, and sat quietly across the face, watching the commotion between humans and dwarves here.

Anyway, their high elves have a long lifespan. When they were bored, they could even stay idle all day. Now, it’s just waiting for these few hours, which is completely not a big deal for them.

"It should be almost the same now...oh! Look, they are here..."

Just as Dassauhan was trying to say something, at a gate on the other side of the conference room, he finally slowly opened and walked out a group of fire demons.

The leader, Dassorhan, said that he knew and was familiar with it. The one who seemed to be Shan Knox, the chief manager of the Kingdom of Flame. Now, after their group was impatient, they finally came out, but... why didn't he see the Queen Anne whom he saw?

"I'm sorry, the kings and leaders of humans, dwarves and high elves, because there are some very important things for our Queen, so... she has just given me full responsibility for discussing the alliance today. After a while, when we discuss it, I'm sure that our Queen will come back, and then she will personally sign the alliance agreement..."

After walking to the front of the main seat of the stone long table, Shannox did not sit directly in the position, but stood there and told the king and representative of the three tribes that the Queen of Fire could not be present in time, and said that today's meeting would be fully responsible and had the same role as the Queen's presence.

Regarding the unreliable queen who was unable to attend, Shannknox General Manager said that they were no longer surprised.

In this winter, except for staying in the palace dormitory when it is too cold, it doesn’t even know where their queen will go…

"Master Shannknox, are you sure that you can handle this matter on behalf of your queen? After all... this meeting is the top priority for the four tribes in the northern continent!"

Lordaeron's Grand Marshal Garythers squinted his eyes and asked carefully again. Such things are not a joke! Otherwise, after the discussion is over, the Queen of Fire will be dissatisfied when she comes back and feels dissatisfied after seeing the agreement, so she simply throws her pen and refuses to admit it? Wouldn't that be a waste of talk?

"Don't worry, just now, I had contacted the Queen with magic. Her Majesty has given me full authority to this matter. I am sure I have obtained authorization."

Shannox nodded slowly to Marshal Gallithers of Lordaeron, who had indeed contacted their queen and had authorized it.

But... Thinking of the scene I saw in the magic image just now, its eyelids began to twitch... Fortunately, these kings and lords didn't know what their queen was doing, otherwise, haha...

"Is your Fire Queen really that busy? She can't even come back in time for such an important meeting?"

The dwarf lord Fistard, Manchu, muttered a few words in dissatisfaction. He thought, wouldn’t their Eagle Nest Mountain be further away from here? Didn’t he fly across the griffin for most of the day? But they didn’t even have time to eat lunch. Apart from just filling up ale here, they just arrived, and hurriedly ate some dry food with the griffin in the snow outside the city in the ice and snow!
To be continued...
