Which king did the reconstruction of the Araso Empire hurt the most?

The answer is undoubtedly Lordaeron, as the most powerful country in the current human alliance, once it is classified as an empire, the authority of the kingdom of Lordaeron will be extremely terrifyingly challenged, and its transcendent status will slip to the same level as other kingdoms.

And for Terenus. For King Minethir, this meant that the kings who had been so suppressed by him would have new and very effective ways to check and balance him.

If human beings have a common emperor, in the handling of daily affairs, the kings can play their own games without the emperor's orders, but once the country enters a state of emergency, then the emperor has the absolute majesty to meddle in the management of the affairs of various countries, unify the command of the human army, and completely twist the seven kingdoms into a rope.

So aren't the other kings worried that the future human emperor will clamp them down?

Of course they will be worried, but speaking, compared to the current situation within the alliance, even if it is a bad situation, it will not be worse than now, so why not?

As long as King Terenus still has a shred of sanity, he will not be willing to let the Arathor Empire rebuild, but the question now is that this is no longer a question of whether the old king is willing or not, under the gaze of all the great nobles of the alliance, as long as King Terenus dares to say "I am against the rebuilding of the empire", then the image of the king he has built all his life will collapse in an instant.

Even his people would turn against him because of it, and it would be an even more terrible disaster.

Therefore, many times, standing on the moral high ground to criticize other people is actually a very hegemonic act, because under the influence of various factors, the criticized person cannot refute it at all... Especially if the criticism is about "democracy, freedom", it makes the whole thing look very hilarious, almost like the worst farce.

However, this does not mean that the old king, who has been on the battlefield of power for many years, will close his eyes and wait for death, he has keenly grasped a very tricky matter to fight back.

That's about orcs and "peace".

Sure enough, when this question was mentioned, His Majesty Dai Lin, who had sworn just now, suddenly lit up, and Lothar's brows furrowed tightly, in front of the great nobles of the entire alliance, he picked out this matter that should have been discussed privately by the kings, and King Terenus's intentions were almost not clear.

But Lothar was not unprepared, and when the nobles began to whisper, he stood up and said to the other kings:

"Okay, so let's settle this matter before the official founding ceremony begins!"

"Very well, my suggestion is, let's kill them all!"

Dai Lin's sonorous voice resounded in the hall:

"The Arathas Empire has been rebuilt to protect our people, and humanity's greatest enemies are the Orcs at the moment, and those Greenskins have committed unpardonable sins over the past 10 years, which they must wash away with their own blood! If you don't want to, then I'll do it myself! ”

"I support His Majesty Dai Lin!"

Danas. Tolbain stood up and shouted:

"No matter where the orcs exist, their hatred for humans will not be weakened even a little bit, and we are the same, this is a war between races, and the war will not end until one side completely falls, orcs, must die!"

"I support it too!"

Gathiris clenched his fists, "I will never forget the scene when the orcs wreaked havoc in the kingdom of Lordaeron, it was a nightmare, and we can't let this nightmare repeat!" ”

"I don't agree with this rough disposition!"

The first person to object, to everyone's expectation, was Countess Caterina, a noble beauty of great beauty who spoke eloquently in front of all the nobles, and her soft voice resounded in the hall:

"The establishment of the Containment has proven to be a waste of the Alliance's wealth, and it has not worked at all as we thought it would be, and Mr. Lothar's proposal is very reasonable, I know that the hatred of the soldiers for the orcs is to the bone, and so am I, but from the people's point of view, what we need most now is not to continue the senseless war, but to let the people recuperate."

King Varian also spoke:

"Marshal Lothar has a very good saying, we were able to defeat the orcs before, then we can do the same now, the courage of human beings has never been to refuse the immediate peace, as nobles, we have to think long-term, everyone, with the population base of the human race, we don't need to worry about the threat of the orcs at all!"

"But you forgot at whose hands your father died!"

Dai Lin angrily rebuked Varian, "You have been blinded by the illusion of peace, you have forgotten who the real enemy is!" ”

"Your Majesty Dai Lin!"

Duke Berval stood up and said indifferently, "Watch your words! ”

And beside the duke, the Privy Council of Chaldeans, who came on behalf of the Holy Light Church of the Stormwind Kingdom. Pastor Morgan stood up, and he said mildly:

"Mercy is a virtue bestowed on humanity by the Light, and we should not be afraid of the orcs and let our people suffer, but what the two sides are arguing about, in my opinion, is actually a very simple question, His Majesty Dai Lin is worried about the danger of the orcs coming back, in that case, why not let the orcs show their sincerity again... I've heard that when Orgrim came to negotiate, he brought four young orcs, representing the four clans. ”

The Chaldean priest, with his fingers brushing over the purple ceremonial dagger at his waist, whispered:

"Well, why not keep them and some important orc figures as hostages in the Empire, I am sure that if the orcs really want peace, then they will agree to this request! If they don't agree, it means that under the peace they hand out, there is a greater ambition hidden! ”

——————————————

Not to mention the turmoil in human politics, in the middle of the continent, in the snowy mountains of Kazmodan, in the underground city of Ironforge, built by the copperbeard dwarves on the mountain, a letter was delivered to the mailbox of the famous Explorers Association.

The messenger was a dwarf dressed like an iron can, and he exuded an icy aura all over his body, but as he walked around the large calciner where the underground lava was extracted and forged, the rolling, visible heat enveloped the surroundings, and people didn't pay much attention to this strange creature.

Speaking of the Explorers Association, this organization that originally originated from the dwarves, in this era, has become an "international" organization, its members include humans who love to excavate archaeology, gnomes who like to travel around, and high elves who are very interested in antiquities and civilizations, and even some goblins who have mixed into this organization with bad intentions, and even rare creatures from another continent.

The Explorers' Guild was first founded hundreds of years ago, when the King of the Mountains ruled the Dwarven Kingdom, and the King of the Mountains loved to dig, and under his leadership, many active dwarves began to dig all kinds of ruins throughout the continent.

There is a special "impulse" flowing in the blood of the dwarves, they always think that they are born for a reason, and they have a sacred mission, but for some other reasons, they forget this mission, therefore, the Explorers Association is actually also responsible for finding this mission, and many of them will even take the merchant ships of the goblins to travel between the three continents, specifically searching for artifacts related to the history of the dwarves.

And the current honorary president of the Explorers Guild is Brian Ander. Copperbeard, born in the Copperbeard Dwarven royal family, is the current Dwarven King Magni. Copperbeard and the dwarven prince Muradin. Copperbeard's younger brother.

Compared with the two older brothers with very high force values, Brian can be called "powerless", but the whole dwarf brain is very flexible, since he was a child, he likes to travel everywhere, and when he grew up, he left behind the duties of the royal family and joined the Explorers Guild, so far, he has traveled almost the whole world, even the orc invasion has not stopped him from traveling everywhere, of course, he will also lead an excavation team to dig up artifacts in the barren land of distant Kalimdor.

"Brian! There is your letter! ”

The dwarven postman took out a large stack of letters from the mailbox, and the first letter was signed with the words "Great archaeologist Brian. Brass beard", the dwarf's loud voice rang out in the noisy hall, and soon, a dwarf dressed in a traveler's attire, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and a beautiful orange-red beard ran out of the hall.

"Huh? My letter? ”

Brian flipped through the envelope in his hand and looked at it, the font on it looked like it was written by an elf girl, full of a feminine feeling, the old dwarf muttered, and opened the letter casually, it was a folded letter, densely filled with words, and even a hand-drawn map.

"Dear old friend Brian. Brass Whisker:"

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I'm one of your friends, we've worked together for a long time, and we've discovered many amazing secrets buried underground."

Brian's eyes widened at this opening, and he was sure that the person who wrote the letter was definitely not his friend, because no one would describe him with the word "dear", but it also made Brian interested, and he grabbed the letter and walked into his room, and under the light of the hedron lamp, the old dwarf spread out the letter and placed it on the table in front of him.

"So, let old Brian see what fool's prank! When I find him, I'm going to have Muradin kick his ass! ”

Brian scolded and continued to read the letter, and the next paragraph attracted his attention.

"There are too many amazing truths hidden in the long time, and your duty and my duty is to bring these buried truths to the light of day, I always remember what you once said, "Even if I am buried in the sand for a thousand years, I will become very valuable", seriously, I appreciate your occasional bluntness, but today this letter is not to talk to you, but about the "mission" you have been looking for. ”

"That's right, dwarves are born with a sacred mission, and it's not just you, gnomes, humans all have the same mission, I'm sorry I can't say too much because I don't want to rob you of the joy of unearthing the secret with your own hands, as a true friend, I'll only tell you where to find it!"

"I remember that years ago, the Explorers' Guild discovered an ancient relic in a barren place not far from Lokmodan, but you've been digging for almost a decade and still haven't found the real vault! Luckily, while looking through some books from Karazhan recently, I found some clues that it was said to be a relic of a prehistoric civilization and related to one of the most mysterious "Titans" in history. ”

"Why did those beings with the power of the gods in legend come to our world?"

"What did they do when they came here?"

"What does the birth of the dwarves have to do with these titans?"

"These questions, these questions that have plagued you for hundreds of years, can be found in that secret room... The map enclosed with me is a hand-copied copy of mine, and I believe it will help you in the excavation of the Uldaman's ruins, but before you head to that place, I want to warn you that there is not only the truth hidden in that secret room, but also the danger! ”

"I sincerely hope that my friend, that is, you, Brian. Copperbeard, before heading to the ruins of Uldaman, bring a group of brave warriors with you so that you can keep your personal safety at all times.... But I believe that danger cannot stop you, and as we have said, personal safety is almost nothing compared to the truth and history! ”

"You don't need to doubt my sincerity, after you see the shining disc with your own eyes, you will know that I am definitely your best and most trustworthy friend, and in my mind there are many, many more secrets about these "Titans", which I would be happy to share with you, but only if, my friend Brian, you must prove that you are capable and qualified to see them! ”

"——- from Forteman, your best friend, in the Outlands, in the Shadow Moon Sea... Dark Gate 12 Summer. ”

"Outlands? Fordman? ”

Brian irritated threw aside the wide-brimmed hat on his head, grabbing his hair, he searched all his memories, and did not find a place called "Outland", let alone a guy named "Fortman", but from this guy's letter, there was a very familiar feeling, which made Copperbeard very puzzled.

After a moment, he picked up the hand-drawn map, and in the eyes of Brass Beard's professional eyes, he could see at a glance that this was indeed the underground map of the ruins of Uldaman, the excavation site of the Badlands, but unlike the map in the hands of the explorers, this hand-drawn map had added the directions of at least three secret chambers that the dwarves had not yet discovered.

The ruins that the old bronze beard had dug were not a hundred but eighty, and he could feel that the location of the secret room described in this picture should be true.

"Damn elf pussies! Don't let me find you! ”

Brian cursed, picked up his wide-brimmed hat from the ground, looked at the map in his hand, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and turned and walked out of the room.

"This ghost map, it's really ugly! I hope it won't be for nothing. ”

As he spoke, Brian trotted all the way to the King's Hall in Ironforge, he had to ask his brother for some guards before leaving, Old Copperbeard still valued his life, and he was a man who was willing to accept other people's opinions... Well, probably.
