World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde - Chapter 246
c241 Completely passive Khadgar
Except for the night elves, no other race will give up magic easily, especially short-lived races like humans. If they lose magic, they will lose a great help.
The Kingdom of Stormgarde, as the only kingdom in the old alliance that did not rely on mages, was the first to decline. This proves that relying on the militia of Stromgarde alone is not enough.
Without mages, humans will be at a great disadvantage compared to other races such as orcs who are strong and have a unique shaman heritage.
In the past, Danath might have arbitrarily rejected the request of Archmage Khadgar on behalf of the Kirin Tor. Now, after more than 20 years of experience, he has become much more stable and understands the importance and power of mages.
Just when Danas was in a dilemma, Princess Jalia of Stormgarde and Lordaeron came in slowly from behind. She said calmly, “Brother Danas, Garin told me before he left that if someone from the Kirin Tor came to Stromgarde, he should be handed over to the Syndicate. They will let those arrogant mages see how powerful the bandits are.”
“Especially those who almost hurt Garin. Right, Duke Falakrest?”
“It’s an honor, Queen.” The gloomy voice of Duke Falakrest came from the shadows. I don’t know when the great thief had come to the palace.
The Kingdom of Alterac and the Kingdom of Dalaran are neighbors. Both kingdoms are in Hillsbrad Foothills, so they naturally have close ties.
However, the relationship between the two countries is not good, especially after the two orc wars, it was the Stromgarde militia that defeated the army of the Kingdom of Alterac, and it was the Kirin Tor mages of Dalaran who destroyed Alterac and turned it into ruins.
More importantly, after the destruction of Alterac, the proud Dalaran Kirin Tor mages looked down on the members of the Syndicate the most, regarded them as bandits, and attacked the Syndicate.
Therefore, once the Kirin Tor mages fell into the hands of the Syndicate, they would definitely not have a good ending. This real bandit life would teach the mages what torture is.
At the same time, facing Danas and Jialiya, two hero-level strongmen, plus Fakrest, who was not a hero but had the strength of the ninth level, even the archmage Khadgar had no confidence to retreat unscathed.
But soon, Jia Liya changed the subject and chuckled, “Of course, if the other party is a close friend of Brother Danath, who has made great contributions to the Alliance and has not participated in any dirty things of the Kirin Tor organization, it is completely different.
Garlin said that he had already forgiven the Mage Khadgar. You are just blinded by those self-proclaimed righteous Naaru. If you come to Stromgarde, you must treat him well.”
“King Garlin’s kindness and wisdom are the real reason for the rebirth of the Kingdom of Stormgarde. I owe the Covenant and King Garlin, and I should take the initiative to repay my sins.” Archmage Khadgar breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn’t want to continue any conflict with the Covenant, so he couldn’t help but praise Garlin.
Just a few words instantly put Archmage Khadgar into a passive position, and made the other party feel that he owed him no favors. Danath couldn’t help but admire his brother and sister even more, and sighed in his heart that she was worthy of being the daughter of Terenas II.
Khadgar barely stayed in Dalaran for long, and the person who taught him mainly was the former Guardian, the Astral Mage Medivh.
Therefore, his character can be said to have not been influenced by the top leaders of the Kirin Tor organization, and he is not as selfish as those members of the Kirin Tor Council of Six.
Although Khadgar is hailed as a hero of the Horde in World of Warcraft, Garin likes this archmage very much, and thinks that he is the one who truly made Dalaran a neutral main city.
Whether it is Dalaran when Rhonin or Jaina is in power, it cannot be regarded as a truly neutral force.
Either join the Alliance or the Horde, or be truly neutral. Claiming to be neutral and actively standing in line is what Garin dislikes the most.
In this regard, the Cenarion Circle, the Silver Dawn, and the Earthen Ring are much purer than the Dalaran Kirin Tor.
If it were someone else, who betrayed the Thorn Path, Garin would kill the other party anyway to avenge the dead Covenant warriors.
Jia Liya’s words, imagined the memory of Outland, Archmage Khadgar knew that he was ashamed of the Covenant, so he gritted his teeth and said, “After this battle of the Ark, I am willing to obey King Garen’s disposal, even if I am executed, I will never complain, but this battle for humanity, I must fight against the Blue Dragon Legion.”
Jialia nodded with satisfaction. The value of a top human heroic mage is self-evident. If Archmage Khadgar can join the Covenant, then the strength of the Covenant will be further enhanced.
“I will hold a meeting in the name of the Covenant in the rebuilt Dalaran, and I will invite the Sun King and the Storm King.” Jia Liya said in an irresistible tone. It stands to reason that the Kirin Tor organization is the initiator, and the meeting should be held in the new territory of the Kirin Tor organization, Eldre’Thalas. However, Garen once told Jia Liya that the Covenant must gain the home advantage no matter what.
Archmage Khadgar, in a guilty and trance state, answered without a second thought, “All is up to you, Queen Calia.”
When Archmage Khadgar came to his senses, he realized that he had actually agreed to hold the parliament in the Covenant’s territory. More importantly, the city of Dalaran was the key. How would the Kirin Tor face himself then?
In terms of strength and experience, Archmage Khadgar is worthy of being one of the five heroes of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, but in terms of political thought, ten of him are no match for Calia, who was influenced by Terenas II.
“I…” Archmage Khadgar wanted to argue, after all, he didn’t know what to say when he returned to the Kirin Tor.
At this time, Danath laughed and put his arm around Khadgar’s shoulder, “Let’s go, Khadgar, it just so happens that Kurland is also coming to Stromgarde, and the three of us haven’t gathered for a long time, so we must not leave until we are drunk.”
“Danas, I have something else to do… Oh, forget it, let’s go.” Archmage Khadgar accepted his fate, thinking that at least the Covenant did not refuse, so he had completed his mission.
After Archmage Khadgar was forcibly dragged away by Danath, Calia instructed Duke Falkurest, “Falkurest, I want you to report this news to King Galen as soon as possible, and contact the blood elf Grand Magister Rommath at the same time.”
There are many human mages, but in terms of quality, the blood elves of the Kingdom of Quel’Thalas are better. With the return of Prince Kael’thas, the blood elves are no longer just two or three cats and cats like before.
At the same time, the blood elves have a close relationship with the Blue Dragon Legion, and they should be able to understand why the Blue Dragon King Spellweaver Malygos suddenly wants to take back all the magic energy.
