No matter how hard Terenas tried, he could not convince Antonidas. From Terenas's perspective, this unreasonable Archmage wanted to send someone he liked to Kirin Tor's dissection table to see what this mysterious person was made of.
Terenas thought back to what Lord Presto had said in private, "These crazy Archmages are not good people. Your Majesty, have you ever thought that before opening the portal to Grim Batol, Antonidas would have sensed that there were a bunch of tribal chiefs there? Why did he insist on sending all of Lordaeron's elites there? "
Nearly a thousand of Grim Batol's elite knights had died, and this was a pain in Terenas' heart.
At the thought of this, he suddenly became distrustful of Antonidas.
That's right, it was my, the great Terenas Menethil II's, idea to make Lord Presto the King of Alterac. You bastards only have two choices. Obey obediently, or get out of my way.
"Antonidas, you're wrong. Letting a truly noble person rule Alterac, not a despicable traitor, is the wish of all the other human kingdoms. For the time being, I can't think of anyone better than Lord Presto. If there is, please let me know. If not, then I hope you can follow the will of Lordaeron. Also, if you are not suitable, the Alliance can still remove King Presto in the future. "
Antonidas was so angry at Terenas that he wanted to vomit blood.
Since when was the Alliance above the king's power? Would that kid of unknown origin still be so obedient when he went up on stage? Would he give in so easily and leave the stage himself?
"Terenas! You won't have a good ending if you keep using force. Don't forget, Duque has already made his move. " Even though he knew that Terenas hated Duque the most, Antonidas did not mind Duque being implicated.
King Terenas immediately thought back to that time. That time, he tried to use the lower nobles to threaten the Barov Family and control the whole of Alterac. In the end, the people he sent out were hit with iron 'white gloves' countless times, and became useless.
On the surface, that mission had nothing to do with Terenas, but everyone knew that it was a slap in the face to the Menethil Royal Family.
"Humph! Duque won't be able to save the Barov Family! "Terenas said firmly.
The drumming of the guards of honor outside grew louder and louder. The triumphant procession was about to reach the palace. Unless Terenas was seriously ill, he would have to go out and welcome the victorious warriors.
"Antonidas, promise me that the Dalajan will at least remain neutral on this matter. Otherwise, the Dalajan will be the enemy of the Rotterdam Kingdom. After this is done, I will compensate the Dalajan. "This was a blatant threat.
Antonidas looked like he had just eaten shit. He almost had a stroke. After a long time, he squeezed out a word through his teeth. "Okay!"
The kings who had just "rested" gathered again. In the huge square of the palace, Terenas received the cheers of more than 100,000 citizens.
No matter what, it was the Rotterdam Kingdom Alliance, and the Rotterdam Kingdom was the leader of the alliance.
This was an honor that no one could take away from him.
After symbolically inspecting the captured Orc weapons, Terenas walked in front of Orgrim. Originally, it was a very satisfying thing to have a Great Chieftain of an enemy force, whose strength was on par with each other, kneel to him.
Being pressed down by four strong humans, the weak Orgrim could not take it anymore. Even his neck was almost broken. He lowered his proud head to Terenas.
Unfortunately, he already knew that Orgrim did not have anything nice to say. Otherwise, Orgrim would have said the classic "Orcs will never be slaves" line.
Terenas was not interested in Orgrim's "submission". To him, the Orcs were a bunch of poor people. Not only did they cause trouble, but they also had nothing to gain from it. Other than being used as miners and gladiators, they had no value at all.
So, he pretended to accept the cheers of the 100,000 people and ended the victory ceremony hastily.
After entering the palace, just as the kings were about to sit down in the throne room, their true intentions were revealed.
"Wait!" Zeon suddenly said, "Not everyone has the right to enter here. Those who have the right to enter the throne room are either the kings and representatives of the various countries, or the heroes of the alliance. But now, there is a traitor here! "
King Gilnis's declaration shocked the dwarves and elves.
Traitor!?
As Zeon pointed, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Duke Barov who was about to walk towards Alterac.
Not only Duke Barov, but even General Haas, who was behind the Duke, suddenly turned pale.
Duke Barov was attending the throne room as Alterac's representative. To accuse a country's representative in a meeting like this, how much hatred was there!?
Without sufficient evidence, this was definitely a huge matter that could push an entire country to its death.
"You … What evidence do you have!?" Duke Barov was trembling as he pointed at King Zeon.
"Evidence? Of course I have it! " Gene snapped his fingers, and the door to the side hall suddenly opened. Twelve guards escorted two young men dressed in ordinary, but still relatively clean clothes into the hall.
Looking at the two faces that looked similar to Duke Barov's, everyone knew that the mystery was solved.
"I think many of you have seen these two before. They are the sons of Duke Barov, the first and second in line to the Barov family — Wilton Barov and Alex Barov."
Duke Barov felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled even more violently. He said in a trembling voice, "They disappeared long ago after the Alterac incident. I've already issued a declaration to strip the two unfilial sons of their inheritance and drive them out of the family. From that day on, everything they did had nothing to do with Duke Barov or Alterac. Now the only heir of the Barov family is Elucia Barov. "
"You stingy old man, how could you give the family's fortune to that bitch!? I am the only heir of the Barov family! "
"No, it's me! Wilton, go to hell! I am the true heir of the Barov family! "
The two unfilial sons of the Barov family were already fighting amongst themselves without Zeon's words.
Duke Barov argued back, "That doesn't prove anything?"
Zeon dropped a bomb with a smile, "Yes, but everyone must know that it was because these two from the Barov Family joined the Horde that Orgrim's army was able to easily pass through the mountains of Alterac, avoid all the sentries, and kill their way to Lordaeron like a divine army descending from the heavens."
