The Queen's Palace built by the fire elements was made from top to bottom by directly melting hard special rocks and pouring them directly. The entire palace was integrated, with a trace of metallic characteristics, and had an architectural style that was different from humans and elves.
Here, except for some tools inlaid with flame crystal cores as lighting on the walls, there is no shadow of bricks or rocks. The fire elements rarely use any fancy decorative tools. They are only used on the ceiling and the floor. The pillars were inscribed with some strange runes in the shape of flames.
Inside the palace, on both sides of the middle passage, stood two rows of strong, tall, elite fire demon royal guards nearly three meters tall. They held huge flame rune war blades and stared straight ahead with expressionless faces. But in fact, they are now pretending to be seen by the envoys of the human kingdom. In normal times, there is no chance for them to stay in the palace, and little Anne does not allow them to come to her palace casually.
And now, in the main hall of the palace, on the huge luxurious queen's throne inlaid with gems on the steps, a little girl was sitting cross-legged on the throne, talking fluently while holding a deer in one hand. Her legs were gnawed wide open, while her other hand was holding a glass of juice, and she was eating happily under the service of a maid. When she saw the group of people entering the palace gate, she just looked up slightly, and then He continued to be busy minding his own lunch, without paying any attention to the human envoys who came in.
"..."
The above is what Garithos, the Grand Marshal of the King of Lordaeron, and Paladin Dathrohan, the current commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand, saw when they walked into the palace of the Kingdom of Fire and wanted to meet the Queen of the Fire Element. all scenes.
They could never imagine why the Queen of the Fire Empire was such a human little girl? Are you sure this isn't a joke?
Before they came in, they had always thought that what they would see after entering the palace would be a strong and huge female fire demon or some other flaming creature! And now, their fire element queen is actually a little human girl? Could it be that they are dazzled? Or..., this little human girl was actually transformed into some kind of powerful fire element? As they know, some dragons can take the form of humans or elves?
Grand Marshal Garithos was also very confused, so he frowned and took a closer look at the human girl on the throne who was said to be the Fire Queen.
Anyway, no matter whether he looks sideways or vertically, up or down, whatever he wants to look at, the Flame Queen in front of him seems to be just a human little girl, no matter in appearance or behavior, right? What exactly is this situation? The Queen of the Fire Kingdom is actually a human?
Confused, Grand Marshal Garithos had no choice but to look at the Paladin Dathrohan next to him with doubtful eyes, hoping that he could explain a little bit why this was the case? Before they came, they had already prepared a lot of diplomatic words and response plans for the fire elements. But now, when he saw that the Flame Queen was a little human girl, all their original preparations seemed to have become less effective.
Seeing the Grand Marshal's questioning look, Dathrohan shrugged his shoulders awkwardly. He was also caught off guard by this situation! When they first met Old John's team transporting food, the other party didn't tell him that the Flame Queen was actually a human being!
He only knew at the beginning that there was a group of relatively friendly fire demons and other fire elements in the Flame Canyon. They all came from a kingdom of flames and had a queen. Then, he forgot to ask more details at that time. After all, at that time, all Dathrohan could think about was how to recruit those elite soldiers and that old second lieutenant John!
"Dear Her Majesty the Queen, the envoy from Lordaeron has been brought."
Shane Knox, the chief steward of the fire demon, took the lead in breaking the awkward situation between the two parties. After asking these humans to stand in the middle of the hall, it took a few steps forward, walked to the steps of the Queen's throne, and humbly faced the still Annie, who was eating so much, reported.
"oh……"
After casually responding, Anne raised her eyelids and looked at the human uncles standing in the hall. After only two glances, she lowered her head and continued to eat her food.
messenger? Lordaeron? Anne said she didn't know them, and she didn't even know these strange and weird people in front of her!
Today at noon, she had a fight with the big bat monster. Although she didn't take much action, it also wasted a lot of time. And now. She had to hurry up and have lunch, and then... see if she could still catch a nice nap!
As for these Lordaeron envoys in front of me? Annie didn't want to care what they were doing here!
"Ahem... Messengers of Lordaeron, as the chief stewards of the Kingdom of Fire, I am here to introduce you."
Seeing that Her Majesty the Queen didn't seem to want to pay attention to these humans, Shane Knox had to stand still. Who made him the manager? Since Her Majesty the Queen didn't say anything, he had to come out first to smooth things over.
"You have also seen that the person sitting on the throne is the Queen of the Fire Kingdom who is most respected by all the fire elements in our Fire Kingdom, the master of the Fire Demon and Fire Eagle tribes, the great lord of the Fire Land, the Fire Elementals The liberator, the mighty demigod, the Daughter of Fire, Her Majesty Queen Anne Hastur!"
"Now, envoys of Lordaeron, you can now reveal your identity. Then, declare your purpose to our queen."
Shane Knox uttered a long list of titles at once, which frightened several humans below. They had no idea that the little girl sitting cross-legged on the throne, eating in a very indecent manner, actually had So many awesome titles?
Look, it's the queen, it's the lord's, and there's a demigod behind it. Is this true? Don’t lie to them for their lack of experience. Are there such young demigods in the world of Azeroth?
"Dear Her Majesty the Fire Queen, I am the Baron of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Lord of Blackwood Town, Grand Marshal Osmar Garithos!"
Although there was still a little doubt about the identity of the little girl above, Garithos still gave enough face, stepped forward and performed the diplomatic etiquette when facing the king of another country, and revealed his identity.
It's a pity that apart from the prestigious Grand Marshal, his status as Baron seems to be a little lower, not to mention the Lord of Blackwood Town. Since it was destroyed by the orcs, it has not been rebuilt until now. Woolen cloth!
"Dear Her Majesty the Fire Queen, I am the current commander-in-chief of the Knights of the Silver Hand of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Grand Crusader, and Paladin Saidan Dathrohan!"
Dathrohan's identity is even more unbearable. Since Uther, the leader of the Silver Hand, the chief paladin, and the lightbringer, died in the battle of Regret Hill in Andorhal, the Knights of the Silver Hand have been killed to pieces by the undead. Got it!
As of now, there are probably less than half of the original members of the Knights of the Silver Hand left, right? Moreover, strictly speaking, the Silver Hand had been announced to be disbanded by the original Prince of Arthas, but later, due to a series of changes, the formal order was not issued.
"oh……"
After hearing the two people below loudly identifying themselves, Anne reluctantly raised her head and glanced at them, chewing food in big mouths while glaring at them with dissatisfaction.
Is there anything you have to say that you can’t finish quickly? Didn't they realize they were interfering with her lunch? Forget it, let's leave it to Shane Knox. She doesn't want to talk nonsense with them!
"Shane Knox..."
After thinking about it, Annie turned her head and squinted at Shane Knox and called him, believing that the fire demon would understand what she meant. Anne didn't care what these humans from the Kingdom of Lordaeron were doing. She just wanted Shane Knox to send them away as soon as possible and not bother her with such trivial matters all day long.
"Yes...my majesty."
Having been the general manager of the kingdom for so long, Shane Knox certainly knows what their queen means, and he can handle the next thing with full authority.
This is why Shane Knox has become so loyal. Look, what a good queen. She almost never takes care of things and delegates all rights. This is a good leader!
"Okay, human envoys, you have now explained your purpose of coming."
After bowing to Annie, Shane Knox walked up the steps and turned to face the humans below. His meaning was very clear. The matter was now handled by it. If you have anything to say, please speak up.
"..."
After Garithos and Dathrohan looked at each other, they decided that it would be better to just show off their cards. Because this Kingdom of Fire does not follow the formal diplomatic procedures at all, then they should explain their intention straight to the point. After all, they don't have much time to waste here.
"Your Majesty Queen Anne, and Grand Steward Shannox! We are here this time mainly because we want to submit two diplomatic resolutions of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to you!"
"First: We hope that you can release the thousands of Lordaeron refugees stranded in the Grand Canyon so that we can move them to Tyr's Hand in the south."
"Second: We in the Kingdom of Lordaeron will continue to pay attention to the fact that the Kingdom of Fire has occupied the territory of our Kingdom of Lordaeron, which is now the Forest Farm Grand Canyon, and we hope that you can give a reasonable explanation."
Grand Marshal Garithus took the lead in asking two questions, which is why they came here this time.
On the one hand, they need to relocate the population of more than 10,000 people as soon as possible, which is very important for their subsequent counterattack plan; on the other hand, they also need to test the Flame Kingdom to find out the opponent's purpose, and not to drive away the undead. Another group of fire elements have come to occupy their territory, which will cause big trouble!
"I think... you must have made something wrong! Let me explain it to you here."
After hearing the two questions from the other party, Shannox smiled contemptuously. The other party kept using the name of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but as far as he knew, all the royal families of the Kingdom of Lordaeron were dead long ago. And the Kingdom of Lordaeron? The other parties are just two generals who lost their country. How can they come here to conduct diplomacy with such confidence?
"First: Those people in the human camp outside were not imprisoned here by us, but they came to seek refuge on their own, and we saved them. And if they want to leave, we will never stop them! We The purpose of managing them is to prevent them from causing trouble in our territory!"
Shannox has never paid attention to the nearly 10,000 human refugees outside. It appointed John as the defense officer just so that he can restrain those humans well. If they want to leave, The General Manager will definitely welcome you with both hands!
"Second: This Flame Canyon was taken back by us from the hands of the undead, and it does not belong to your Kingdom of Lordaeron! Moreover, as far as I know, your Lordaeron no longer has a royal family, not even the capital. Most of the country has been occupied by the undead, and you are just the former generals of Lordaeron. In my opinion, you can no longer represent the Kingdom of Lordaeron!"
"Or, I can put it more clearly now, your Kingdom of Lordaeron should have been destroyed!"
Shane Knox shook his head at the humans below. Do they really think that they know nothing about what is happening in the outside world? The Fire Canyon they have now was snatched from the hands of the undead. What does it have to do with them in Lordaeron? They may not even be able to keep the remaining territory, so they still want to attack the Fire Kingdom? I simply don’t know what to say!
"No! Your Majesty the High Steward! You are wrong! The Kingdom of Lordaeron has not died! Because we are still alive! Even if Lordaeron does not have a king, Lordaeron will not die! We, the Silver Hand, will continue to fight until Fight to the last man and shed the last drop of blood! We firmly believe that there will be a day when we will regain our land! We firmly believe that one day, the flag of our Kingdom of Lordaeron will once again fly on the walls of the capital of Lordaeron. Above!"
After hearing the words of Shane Knox, Dathrohan inspired the holy light in his body and turned into a shining golden man. He strode forward, passed Marshal Garithos in front of him, and walked out righteously. He took two steps, raised his head and looked at the fire demon's chief manager.
His approach made the two rows of palace guards in the palace look at him. They all grasped the war blades in their hands. If they had any disagreement, they would step forward and cut these humans into pieces. trend.
"Dathrohan! Please calm down a little!"
Before the Fire Demon Chief was ready to speak, Garithos stepped forward and firmly held Dathrohan's shoulders. In Garithos' view, Dathrohan's approach was too impulsive, as he was now in the territory of the fire elementals.
Now, just the extraordinary powerful fire demon leader and these four rows of high-level palace guards in the palace can kill both of them in minutes! If you, Dasuohan, are still so stubborn, aren't you making yourself unhappy? Do you understand whether you can bend or stretch? It seems that these Paladins are not good at diplomacy. Next time, they will definitely not bring this stupid guy with them!
Negotiations have just begun now. From Garithos' point of view, there are still many things to discuss, such as the matter of human refugees, but you, Dathrohan, want to fight with fists whenever you disagree. Now here But it’s the home ground of the fire element!
"I'm sorry, Lord Steward Shannox, for causing you trouble. However, as Commander Dathrohan said, the Kingdom of Lordaeron has not died! We have never given up resistance to the undead! We can put the territorial issue on hold for now, but regarding the issue of refugees..."
"Don't make any noise!!" Annie suddenly raised her head and interrupted the other party's words.
Just when Garithos was about to express his thoughts about transferring the refugees, hoping that the other party would nod in agreement, he was suddenly startled by the flame queen's scolding voice. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt There were waves of vibrations like the earth was shaking, and at the same time, an extremely evil aura instantly filled the world. The violent and bloodthirsty pressure almost made him feel suffocated! This... what on earth is going on?
In shock, Garithos and Dathrohan looked at each other, and without caring about anything else, they quickly turned around and ran out of the palace, looking to the far southwest, towards the direction where the vibration and ominous aura came from.
At the same time, little Annie also dropped the food in her hand and flashed outside in an instant. After seeing this, Shane Knox also ignored the daze and quickly followed outside the palace and stood in front of their queen. behind.
The shaking feeling lasted for a while and then completely disappeared. However, the evil aura that still filled the world did not dissipate for a long time. The group of people just looked at each other uneasily and remained silent. Now, they don't know what everything that just happened means.
…
"Hahaha...ahhahaha...!"
At this time, the fear demon Balnazar, who was nailed to the cross in the square and awaiting death, suddenly laughed wildly, causing the panicked human envoys and fire demons to look sideways at him.
"Have you all seen it? Have you all felt it? What just happened is the great existence of our legion, our Lord Archimonde! He has arrived! Now, the Burning Legion is coming! And you ! You mortals, whether you are ugly fire elements, or these humble human bugs, your end is coming! We, the Burning Legion, will destroy everything about you! Ah ha ha ha..."
"Perhaps, you can consider letting me go now? Then, kneel down and pray for my mercy? At that time, I can pray for you in front of Lord Archimonde for a way to survive? Maybe you don't know, we, the Burning Legion... …ah!!!"
Balnazzar, the Dread Lord, seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope for himself. He quickly endured the pain of his soul being burned, and after explaining the powerful power of the Burning Legion and Lord Archimonde to the people in front of the palace, he began to slowly seduce him. , I believe these mortals should have felt the power of Lord Archimonde that destroyed the world just now, so now they should know the current affairs.
However, he seemed to have used the wrong method. Before he could finish his words, a huge fireball swallowed him up. After a burst of piercing screams, he, Balnazar, died after a while. Together with his soul, he was completely burned...
"It's so noisy! Do you know that it annoys me when you laugh?"
After throwing the fireball, little Annie snorted and turned back to the palace. She was going back to eat. As for the Burning Legion? Archimonde? Sorry, she also said she didn't know him.
Anyway, Annie thought, isn't it just a big devil coming? No matter how powerful it is, so what? If she can't be beaten, she can run away! There's absolutely no need to make a fuss or anything.
Annie would not believe that the other party kept chasing her!
Besides, I have the space gem. When the time comes, when I see that the situation is not good, I will open the door and escape, and the fire elements will go back to the land of fire. No matter how powerful the big devil is, can't he just stare?
