No one can succeed easily, even if his father is a king.
Sometimes Carlos also thinks that if he had worked one-third as hard as this life in his previous life, how could he have managed to travel through time and be reborn.
With such a mood, seeing his old father-in-law Terenas again, the atmosphere suddenly became gentle.
He is old.
The soil and water in Lordaeron cannot support people, and the wheat flour bread cannot support people as well as the millet in Shanxi. Although the king of Lordaeron is now powerful, he can no longer hide his physical weakness.
For ten years, the heavy state affairs had all fallen on Terenas alone, and this burden destroyed his health.
Even without the sword from Azeroth's most dutiful son, Terenas wouldn't have survived for a few more years.
This is not a curse on Carlos, but a visible fact.
Is that why he is so eager to unify all of Lordaeron?
Carlos felt as if he suddenly understood what his old father-in-law was thinking.
This peaceful age was created by me.
I will protect this peaceful age.
This peaceful and prosperous age continues because of me.
Terenas didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, whether it was forcing Gilneas to withdraw from the alliance, marginalizing Alterac or even ignoring the unrest in Stromgarde.
All this is done to restore the glory of the Arathor Empire.
No, the Arathor Empire has become a thing of the past. He, Terenas Menethil II, is for the glory of all mankind!
Just the moment they met and the teachings of his eyes, Carlos understood the heart of his old father-in-law.
This is troublesome, this kind of spiritual saint state...
Carlos would rather his father-in-law did it for his son Arthas's royal hegemony and the interests of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, so that there would be room for cooperation.
But with just one glance, Carlos understood that his old father-in-law had fallen into his ideal of lofty justice and could not extricate himself.
If there were no threats from the Burning Legion and the Old Gods, then Terenas' dream of a utopia might not be impossible to realize.
But there is no such thing as a peaceful age in the world of Azeroth. Every second is counting down to the end.
"It's great that you're back safely. It's great."
Terenas held Carlos's hands and shook them gently, sighing sincerely.
"I'm back."
Carlos was suddenly speechless, and the tit-for-tat diplomatic rhetoric he expected was beyond words.
"Originally, I wanted to set up a state banquet to entertain our heroes, but I thought there were some things you wanted to say to me alone, so I suppressed them first. You won't be angry, right?"
"Just what I wanted."
Terenas met with Carlos alone. Hundreds of Lordaeron dignitaries were waiting outside the royal hall, wondering what the two kings were talking about inside.
"The Scourge is about to rise, and the demons in the void are eyeing our world. Our situation at this moment is more dangerous than when Lord Lothar crossed the sea. There is no time, father-in-law."
Carlos composed his words carefully.
"I know, I know, our world has never been stable, and our country has never been truly peaceful. But you also saw it, you should see it, you must see it, don't pretend not to see it, create this alliance You are one of them. As long as we are united, no enemy is invincible! In the south, Varian has gained a foothold in Lordaeron, and we are prospering like never before. Carlos, you understand, if If you want, I can give up this crown to Alphonse."
It was Alphonse, Carlos's son of a bitch, not Arthas, Terenas' own son.
The king of Lordaeron can no longer look back on his glorious path to unifying all mankind.
Ultimately, it was Carlos who caused all of this.
The too easy victory over the Horde Orcs, the unprecedented expansion of the Alliance's strength, Lothar's death in battle, Carlos's disappearance, and the fact that Terenas, who was in sole control of power, did not degenerate into a tyrant are the brilliance of his personality that cannot be extinguished.
Who can stop the invincible king from achieving some of his pursuits in life?
Terenas wanted to rebuild the Empire of Man and reunite the scattered humanity.
For this, he can give everything.
If Carlos did not return from the star realm, Terenas would only have to kill his in-law Alex Barov to take possession of Alterac. After Arthas marries Jaina, Kul Tiras will essentially become a vassal of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. As long as he marries Varian again, two generations later, the fragmented human forces will finally be reunited, and the blood of the Human King will surely flow with the blood of Menethil.
As for Gilneas, it is no longer important. From the moment he quit the alliance, Genn Greymane has lost his morality.
Terenas's plan is a conspiracy and an aboveboard pursuit. What he does is right there, on the table. Those who can understand it are impressed by its beauty, and those who can't understand it are of no importance at all.
So when Carlos returned, Terenas was willing to make huge compromises and have a heart-to-heart relationship with his son-in-law.
How wonderful it would be if I didn't have those knowledge and memories, living in a drunken dream, squandering my life in infinite glory, not caring about the flood after death.
"Let me think about it."
"It should be, no rush, no rush, we still have time, I still have time."
Carlos's unwillingness to tell Terenas the truth is not out of selfishness, but intolerance.
The perfect alliance in your mind has begun to rot from the roots. Whether it is the Burning Legion or the Ancient Gods, they are powerful enemies that humans cannot defeat even if they risk their lives. They are desperate natural disasters.
How can a majestic eternal palace be built on a rotten foundation?
Carlos had also had a hint of excitement. The human empire had surpassed Thoradin's great achievements.
Unfortunately, a powerful enemy is ahead. Ten thousand years have passed and the Burning Legion is coming back.
There are no million lords, there is no infinitely resurrected foot man, and there is no branch that can never burn. Carlos, who has truly faced Archimonde, understands how terrifying the devil is.
This falsely prosperous alliance has no chance at the moment.
Only by recasting the army of iron and blood can we carve out a path of hope from the tragic future.
With each having their own concerns, Carlos and Terenas had a cordial and friendly meeting, during which they each elaborated on relevant ideas and had fruitful communication.
When the door of the royal palace opened, Carlos and Terenas appeared in front of everyone hand in hand.
For a time, the haze of war seemed to have dissipated from the lands of Lordaeron and Alterac.
Carlos made a partial compromise with Terenas, who also temporarily suspended the blockade of Alterac and believed in the threat of the "Great Shadow".
This meeting seemed to have an extraordinary effect. After settling the dispute with Carlos, Terenas hugged his grandson affectionately.
Kisses from the next generation are always particularly kind and kind.
Terenas bent down and kissed Alphonse's forehead, and then stood up. There was already a dagger that exuded an ominous aura stuck in his abdomen.
At the same time that the accident occurred, Prince Arthas, who was suppressing the orc rebellion in the south, looked at the corpses on the ground, remembered his promise to Daniel, and felt extremely sad and angry.
The little boy Daniel asked Arthas: "Will you bring them back? Those who were taken away."
Arthas replied in a gentle yet firm tone: "Don't worry, my children, I will take them home."
Sorry, I broke my promise.
Holy Light, I can easily defeat those bloodthirsty enemies, why can't I save my people?
Alsace was filled with anguish.
