The Dharma God of All Realms Begins with Harry Potter

After receiving Orgrim's promise, Aiden Perenold finally summoned all his generals and nobles to prepare to reveal the news to them.

Before that, he had only discussed and decided on this matter with a few big nobles on a small scale.

Of course, the Barov family did not participate in half of Alterac - their territory was the first to be captured by the tribe, and until now they are still trapped on the island in the middle of the lake, waiting for outside rescue.

How would they feel if they knew that they had been betrayed by the king?

"You call us, my lord?"General Haas, the commander of the Alterac army, stood in front of the half-open door of the map room.

The other army generals were also standing behind him.

"Yes. Come in, generals, officers."Perenold waved, trying to keep his voice calm."I just got news about the latest developments in the tribe, and I think it is necessary to inform you."

Haas and several other generalsThey exchanged glances quickly, but they didn't say anything and followed him closer to the huge map that covered the entire wall.

"I got this information from a trusted source."Perenold began to say."The tribe has occupied a small half of Alterac's territory, and the Barov family's territory has completely fallen. Now they are stationed in Megan Ridge."

Several generals took a breath in surprise.

"Apparently, they were planning to attack the Kingdom of Lordaeron and chose to cross these mountains in order to appear north of the royal city."

"When will they go on the offensive? Colonel Cardin asked eagerly."How many are there?" What kind of weapons are they carrying?"

Some other generals whispered behind him.

Perenold raised a hand, and the officers fell silent.

"I don't know when they started attacking. He replied,"Although I suspect it will be just one day, or two, not more." I don't know their numbers either, but all reports indicate they were a powerful force."

After saying this, the king smiled. He also knew that his smile was weak.

"However, this is no longer an issue we need to consider."

General Haas stood up straight.

"No need for us to think about it, my lord? he asked, his heavy breathing making his thick gray beard flutter."But we are members of the Alliance, and we have all sworn to fight with the others against the Horde.""

"Things have changed now. Perenold reminded him, now sweating profusely:"I have reconsidered our options and decided to reprise our role in this conflict." From now on, Alterac will no longer be a member of the Alliance."

He took a deep breath

"Believe me, we will be better off if we choose this path."

All the officers looked shocked.

"Sir, do you mean...？"Cardin asked

"I have a non-aggression pact with the tribe. Perenolde answered."We will not impede their movement across the mountains, and in return they will leave Alterac safe.""

His officers looked confused, some of them angry or distressed.

"Do you want us to be complicit with the Horde, my lord? Haas asked in a low voice, unable to hide the disgust in his voice.

"Yes, I am going to conspire with the orcs!"Perenold finally lost his calm and shouted angrily."Because I want us all to live!"

He poured out his anger and fear in his words without reservation.

"Do you know what we are facing? The tribe, the entire tribe, is planning to sweep across this mountain range! Through our homes! Do you know how many there are of them? Thousands! Haas and some others nodded reluctantly. They had all seen the same report."Do you know what these orcs look like?" I once saw an orc at the same distance as you are now. They are huge! As tall as a troll, but twice as wide! Developed muscles, sharp fangs - the orc I saw, it took three people to lift his warhammer, but for him, it was as easy as a child's toy to swing! No one can resist them! They're going to kill us all, don't you understand? They've destroyed the Kingdom of Stormwind, and Alterac will be their next target!"

"But the alliance——"After saying that, Perenold smiled resentfully.

"What happened to the alliance?"He asked."They show up? I tell you clearly, they are not here! We build alliances to protect our kingdoms from such attacks, but where are those precious alliances right under our noses? They abandoned us, you know?"

His voice was almost hysterical, and he took a while to calm down.

"Now is the time for each kingdom to think about itself."He said to the others as calmly as possible."I must prioritize Alterac. All other kings will do the same."

"Yeah, but those greenskins……"Another officer, Trand, spoke up.

"——Huge and deadly, that is."Perenold interrupted."But it's not impossible to communicate. I met with their leader. He can speak lingua franca! He listened to me and agreed that they would keep us safe if we didn't get in their way"

"We - can we trust them?"A junior officer asked.

Seeing many people nodding in agreement, Perenold finally breathed a sigh of relief. They raised this question to show that they have accepted the agreement - now they are just worried about whether the agreement can go smoothly. implement

"We have no choice."The king said slowly."As long as the tribe has this plan, they can easily defeat us. If they betray us, we're doomed. But if they keep their word - and I think they will - Alterac can survive. No matter what the price will be paid"

"I still don't like doing it. Haas said stubbornly."We have made commitments to other countries.""

But you can see that he is hesitant.

Perenold knew that the general was thinking about the current situation and began to understand the fact that this was the only way for them to survive.

"You don't have to like it."Perenold said sternly."What you need to do is obey orders. I'm the king here and I've decided this. You swore to obey me, and I think you will keep those oaths. He knew that this sentence would not be enough to stop their objections, but he hoped that it would convince them, at least convince them to remain loyal to him.

Haas stared at him for a moment.

"You are right, my lord. he finally responded."I will obey your orders.""

The other generals also nodded.

Perenold smiled.

"very good. Regarding the alliance, I will bear all the consequences personally."He turned back to the map."So now, the tribe will pass here, here, and here."

As he spoke, he pointed to some roads to the south. He was so angry that he found that his hands were shaking.

"All we need to do is keep these roads unguarded, and we can let the Horde pass without encountering a single orc."

Haas studied the bearings

"They are preparing to attack Lordaeron from the north."He thought for a moment and drew a line leading to Lordaeron that was not marked on this map."If it were me, I wouldn't choose this road, but I don't know. How many of them - or how arrogant they are."

He turned to Perenold, his expression mixed with suspicion.

"Soldiers may disobey orders, my lord." He said coldly."They may think this is a betrayal of their oath, or maybe worse."

His tone revealed that he agreed with this view.

"If they rebel, there is nothing we can do to stop them."

Perenold thought about it for a moment.

"In this case."Tell the soldiers that the tribe is planning to use those three passes in the northern mountains," he said. If someone asks you about the source of your information, tell them that it was valuable information that scouts and spies paid for with their lives."

He nodded, quite satisfied with his wit.

"This will keep each soldier busy completing his mission and not wandering into the Horde's path. Haas nodded stiffly.

"I will deploy our soldiers there immediately, my lord."

"That's good. Perenold gave the general the warmest smile he could muster to show that he had forgiven everything."You'd better get them all moving now." I don't want our men to be still on the march when the tribe arrives."

The officers saluted and all left the map room—except Haas.

"Is something wrong, General? asked Perenold, his voice sounding very tired.

"A messenger has come, my lord."The general replied."From the Alliance. You were there when he came...rest. He's waiting outside, my lord."

"Let him come in at once," replied Perenold."Have you spoken to him?"

"All he knew was who sent him. Haas said,"I understand you want to be the first to know the news he brings.""

When he said this, the general had already stood at the door of the map room, waving to someone waiting outside. A dusty young messenger wearing leather armor walked in, looking nervously at the ground.

""My lord," the young man said, raising his head, then lowering it immediately."I bring greetings and news from Lord Anduin Lothar, the commander of the Alliance."

Perenold nodded, put on his cloak and walked to the young man's side.

"Thank you General, it's okay now. he said to Haas. The general looked relieved, closed the door and left the room.

"Now, young man," continued Perenold, turning to the messenger,"what news do you bring?"

"Lord Lothar said you should take your army to Lordaeron," the young messenger replied nervously."The Horde will most likely attack there, and your army must go to support the defense there."

"I see."Perenold nodded. He touched his chin with one hand and put the other hand on the messenger's shoulder."Does he want you to go back and report our situation? he asked.

The messenger nodded.

"I see."Perenold said again."This is really a pity."

He turned to the young courier, grabbed him with his arm, and attacked him with the dagger in the other hand. The blade penetrated the ribs and pierced the courier's heart. The courier fell to the ground and died almost instantly.

"It would be nice if it came as a written message."Perenold whispered to the corpse.
