Chapter 996: Opening of the conference

Remember [New] in a second! After getting an answer from Sharlayan that was enough to satisfy his curiosity, Kel'Thuzad left the Quel'Thalas embassy with a heavy heart, and returned to the Lordaeron Royal Hotel where Baron Rivendell stayed.

It wasn't until Kel'Thuzad left that Valeera emerged from the shadows.

"Salayan, don't blame me for talking too much."

As a senior intelligence officer, Valeera is more suspicious than ordinary people. She frowned slightly and asked, "Can this lich, who only has academic research in his eyes and whose position may change drastically at any time, really be trustworthy?"

Sharlayan smiled and spread his hands: "Don't treat Kel'Thuzad too cold-blooded, he still has a bottom line."

"At least at this stage, our interests are basically the same as his, and he will not betray us rashly."

"As for the future after the collapse of the Scourge... who can say clearly, maybe he will go to the Shadow Realm immediately to continue his studies."

Valeera sighed lightly: "Well, I trust your judgment."

"Let's not talk about this first, I have something else to report."

Valeera straightened her face and said: "Not long ago, the group of Tyrosus, Abides, and Garithos that you asked me to pay attention to arrived in the royal city, and they should have already stayed at the Royal Hotel by now. gone."

Sarlayan nodded with a calm expression: "The actors are almost here, let's see how the scene will play out after Calia's coronation ceremony is over."

"Whether the alliance lives or dies depends on how the leaders behind the representatives of each country choose."

Due to the rush of preparation time, Calia Menethil's enthronement ceremony was not very grand, at least far from being comparable to the scale of the celebration when Terenas was enthroned.

Times have changed. When Terenas took over the throne from his father, Lordaeron was in a period of rapid development, and everything was thriving.

Today's Lordaeron is going downhill, and many domestic and foreign affairs make Calia and the ministers unintentionally put too much energy into arranging flashy ceremonies, just let the countries know that Lordaeron's new king is enthroned.

Contrary to Sharlayan's expectations, Arthas, who was in a state of confusion recently, also attended the enthronement ceremony of his sister.

Although his face was still a bit ugly, at least he witnessed the beginning and end of the ceremony honestly, and as a member of the royal family, he personally put on Calia the crown representing the supreme kingship of Lordaeron .

"Hey~" Sharlayan touched his chin with great interest: "The relationship between Alsace and Calia is indeed very good, it's hard for him to wear the crown for Calia himself as a loser."

[In other words, according to the convention, shouldn't the archbishop of the Holy Light Church wear the crown for Calia? 】

[You think too much, don't confuse the situation in our world with Azeroth. 】

【Although Lordaeron strongly supports the development of the Church of the Holy Light out of its own interests, they are not based on religion after all. How could it be possible for religious leaders to crown the new king? 】

While the barrage was still discussing the divine right to the king and the divine right to the king, Calia's relatively simple enthronement ceremony had successfully ended.

Under the hospitality of Queen Calia, who was officially enthroned as king, representatives from various countries who came to watch the ceremony came to the banquet hall of the palace together, and participated in the banquet that would inevitably be held after the celebration as usual.

At the same time, the people in the royal city spontaneously celebrated the new king's enthronement in their own way.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Queen Calia's official ascension to the throne means that the chaos of the two kings in the past two years has finally come to an end, and the ancient Kingdom of Lordaeron will usher in a new era ruled by the queen.

Calia's political views are different from those of her predecessors who have been pursuing domineering policies before. She intends to implement the domineering policies in a more moderate way. The people expect that this difference will bring better changes to their lives.

Whether Jialia's political ideas and policy reforms are good or bad, no one can say for sure, everything needs to be verified by practice.

After the banquet where the representatives of various countries exchanged cups and exchanged cups and vain and submissive, Salayan's long-awaited drama finally came.

Representatives from various countries who were also prepared were followed by the palace attendants to lead them into the meeting hall, and took their seats one after another according to the seats arranged in advance by the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

This dusty meeting hall has witnessed the establishment of the alliance, and the kings of the alliance's member countries once gathered around this round table in the center, arguing and even fighting for their own interests.

With Stormgard, Gilneas, Quel'Thalas, and Kul Tiras withdrawing from the alliance one after another, this meeting hall has long been idled by Terenas, but it still belongs to the alliance in name only .

Jia Liya deliberately chose this place as the venue for the National Congress, and the meaning behind it is self-evident.

The new chairman of the Kirin Tor, Luo Ning, who came to attend the meeting on behalf of Dalaran, raised his eyebrows in surprise, winking and whispering to Sarlayan who was sitting next to him: "Queen Calia really wants to rebuild the alliance?" ? I thought you were joking."

Dalaran is the second longest country in the alliance among the six human nations except Lordaeron.

If it hadn't been for Terenas' retrograde pressure on Dalaran, Antonidas would not have lifted Dalaran into the sky in anger, and thus completely broke away from the alliance.

Today, apart from Khaz Modan, Gnomeregan, and Eagle's Nest Mountain, which are still nominally within the framework of the alliance, only the Kingdom of Stormwind from the south of the mainland is still holding on to the last position of the alliance.

For Varian, who has lived in exile since childhood, the alliance led by Anduin Lothar has extraordinary significance to him.

If it is not a last resort, the Kingdom of Stormwind will never let the alliance disappear. If necessary, Varian even intends to take over the banner of the alliance from Lordaeron and revitalize the momentum of the alliance in Stormwind City.

Varian thought so, and did so.

Over the years, he has successively won over the Kingdom of Khaz Modan and the Kingdom of Gnomeregan. Recently, he is still in contact with the Wildhammer dwarves in Eagle's Nest Mountain. His ambition to expand the influence of the Stormwind Kingdom has undoubtedly been revealed.

Now that Calia, who advocates kneading countries to rebuild the alliance, is in power, she certainly cannot give up the position of leader of the Alliance of Lordaeron to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Among the representatives of various countries present, only Luo Ning participated in the meeting as a national leader.

The Kingdom of Stormgard, which is still managed by the Regency Council, was very perfunctory. They randomly sent an unknown fringe member of parliament to participate, making it clear that they didn't take Lordaeron seriously.

Of course, this is what Lordaeron asked for.

As the saying goes, the cause of the day before, the result of the day after.

Terenas' suppression of various countries in the past has led to Lordaeron's current diplomatic dilemma. This blame can only be borne by his successor, Calia, who strives to ease the stiff relationship with the various countries.

Compared with Stormgard, Alterac is still showing face. King Inselton Perenold will send over from the hero of the dragon and now the chief minister of Alterac, Duke Jorach Ravenholdt .

For Gilneas, perhaps King Jinn wanted to take this opportunity to exercise his son's abilities and let him learn a lot. A delegation led by the Crown Prince of Gilneas, Liam Greymane, came to the meeting.

Although this was not Genn's original intention, Gilneas has given Calia enough face.

Needless to say, the three kingdoms of Kul Tiras, Stormwind Kingdom, and Quel'Thalas also sent important figures with high status in the country.

Falstad, the Great Lord of the Wildhammer Dwarves in Eagle's Nest Mountain, sent a shaman in charge of the civil service. Sharlayan, who has always been well informed, had never heard of his name. This shows the attitude of the Wildhammer Dwarves.

The reactions of Gnomeregan and Khaz Modan were relatively indifferent, and none of the three Bronzebeard brothers came, and the representative of the dwarf was also an unknown diplomat.

Although Jia Liya was a little disappointed that countries did not attach importance to this congress, she also knew that there was no rush to improve diplomatic relations.

After calming down, Jia Liya, the host of the conference, first delivered the opening speech.

"Respected representatives from various countries, first of all, I would like to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to come to Lordaeron to attend my enthronement ceremony."

"I have said a lot of polite words in previous banquets, so I won't repeat them here, let's get straight to the point."

"That's right, just as everyone guessed."

Jia Liya wearing a crown is full of momentum~lightnovelpub.net~ Many people think that she is just a representative of ostentation secretly startled.

"It has been a full 10 years since the establishment of the Dark Portal Five Years Alliance."

"In the past 10 years, the member states of the alliance have gradually fallen apart, and this international joint organization that shined in the Second Orc War has gradually existed in name only."

"I know that this situation is largely caused by Lordaeron, which is the host country of the alliance. I will not avoid it, nor will I quibble."

"However, the times are different today, and the people in charge of Lordaeron are also different. I will no longer follow the authoritarian policy that my father used to use against allied countries."

Jia Liya looked around the round table with piercing eyes at the representatives from various countries with different ecologies.

"I, Calia Menethil, hereby formally propose in the name of the Queen of Lordaeron."

"I hope that all countries will abandon their previous suspicions and support Lordaeron to rebuild the declining alliance as they did when they faced the orc invasion, and jointly deal with the coming major crisis of Azeroth..."

"Invasion of the Burning Legion."
