38. Pandaria. Imperial. federation

"Buzz"

The surface of the portal shining with a turquoise halo, like the lightest water waves swaying, Gianna, who was wearing the archmage's robes, walked through the portal a little tired, and came to the continent of Pandaria, the capital of the panda people civilization, and the most prosperous area of the panda people society, the Emerald Forest.

The makeshift teleportation hall is located in an abandoned manor, and in the plaza there are more than a dozen large portals lined up to almost any part of the world.

The misty barrier off the coast of the Pandaria continent has completely dispersed 3 days ago, the sea route to this continent from the outside world has been unblocked, and the space teleportation can also be used normally, but after the news of the heavy losses of the Empire's Invincible Armada and the Federation's Black Ark fleet spread in the South China Sea, almost all well-informed people know that there are some dark and strange things hidden on the Pandaria continent.

Of course, for greedy pirates and merchants, such a little bit of chasing after the wind is not enough to stop them from chasing wealth, but the problem is that in the last few days, more than one merchant ship has seen a terrifying fleet of terror floating from beneath the depths of the sea... It is the most feared legend of the entire Endless Sea.

The Dead Sea Fleet of the Darkblade Legion!

It was a fleet commanded by the "Sea Devil" Dai Lin, and the terrifying legends about it have spread to every corner of the world in recent years, and the appearance of the Dead Sea Fleet seems to represent a terrifying future, that is, the Dark Blade Legion, which has been operating on the Northrend continent in recent years, seems to have set its sights on this new continent that has just appeared in the world.

It was timid-hearted news for all the pirates, but it was news for all the merchants to cheer.

Everyone knows that as long as you do things in peace and don't want to make some dangerous big news, then the Darkblade Legion will not make things difficult for ordinary merchants, and wherever the Dead Sea Fleet appears, the local entrenched pirate forces will be cleaned up in a cruel and outrageous way.

Now, they're finally in the South China Sea, and the damn golden waters, which have been chaotic for hundreds of years, will probably become orderly because of this?

"Where's my unreassuring brother?"

The queen of Lordaeron, the archmage of New Dalaran, looked at the guide beside him, it was an ambassador who had been sent to Pandaria a few days ago, and was the spokesperson of the kingdom of Lordaeron on this continent, and in the face of the queen's inquiry, the ambassador swallowed a little hard, and he whispered:

"I met His Excellency Prince Tanred once the day before yesterday, and the pandamen here did not mistreat him and his soldiers, but... But just yesterday, they were escorted out of the Emerald Forest by the warrior monks of the Shadow Sect, and it is said that they were sent to a place called Panlongji, where they were to serve up to three months of hard labor. ”

"Bold!"

Hearing that the brother she cared about was actually sent to work as a coolie, a trace of anger flashed on the beautiful face of the archmage Gianna, and the staff in her hand was pointed on the ground, and then said to the ambassador who was trembling in front of her with a frosty face:

"Take me to meet the supreme commander of the panda people here! They don't have the right to humiliate a prince of Kul Tiras! ”

And almost at the moment when Gianna's words fell, in the square not far from them, another voice with suppressed anger sounded almost at the same time:

"What? Valentine was sent to hard labor? Who gives power to those presumptuous panda people? That's an official of the Federation! They don't have the right to do that! ”

This roar attracted the attention of many people, including Queen Gianna, the archmage turned his head and saw an old acquaintance, and the roaring old man also turned his head at this moment, just in time to see Queen Gianna who was protected by the royal guards, and the eyes of both of them were a little weird, and at the same time there was a trace of embarrassment.

After a few seconds of silence, the old gentleman stepped forward, waved his hand to the federal government protection officers around him not to worry, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to Gianna:

"Little Gianna, we haven't seen each other in years, haven't we?"

"Field Marshal Maxwell... Oh no, I should call you Mr. "Councillor" now, indeed, we haven't seen each other since the founding ceremony of the Empire of Arathso, and that was almost seven years ago. ”

Gianna graciously took the hand of the old man who was dressed in a black dress, holding a cane, and had a temperament that was not angry and arrogant, and she blinked like a little girl, and said to the old man:

"This time, will you represent the Federation on Pandaria? Let me guess, also for the sake of the fleet? ”

Former Field Marshal of the Stormwind Kingdom, Reginald. When Marshal Windsor's old comrade-in-arms, Councillor Maxwell, heard this, a flash flashed in his calm eyes, and he whispered:

"It's a shame, little Gianna, it shouldn't have happened... Seriously, you should take good care of that troublesome brother in your family, I heard that all this was caused by Thanred forcibly forcing the Federation fleet to retreat regardless of the situation, and he was ashamed to declare that the waters of Pandaria were the Empire's maritime frontiers? It's really strange, how come I don't know, when did you plant the imperial flag on the continent of Pandaria? Young people, for these sensitive things, they always come with their mouths open! ”

Councilor Maxwell's tough words made Gianna behind the chief of the royal guard of Lordaeron, the king's knight Farek frown, and Gianna as a king, she could not retreat in this kind of matter that concerns the camp, she smiled gently, but responded with a needle in her heart:

"My brother was a bit reckless, but, this time, I don't think he did anything wrong."

The archmage reached out and brushed her long golden hair with a hint of white, and she smiled and said:

"Pure soldiers don't need to think about politics, that's not what they need to think about, Tamred just made a decision that wasn't perfect based on his status as a soldier, didn't your General Valentine make the same decision?"

"I'm not here to argue with you about this, little Gianna."

Councillor Maxwell raised his wrist and looked at the time, and he said to Gianna with some indifference:

"We have repeatedly stressed that the Federation and the Empire are not currently hostile, I personally hope that you will not continue your hatred of the Dark Blade to the Federation, Tanrid's behavior is a very dangerous sign, Your Majesty the Queen, the Federation is just unwilling to make enemies, it does not mean that we will let the Empire slaughter... But in the light of our private friendship, I would suggest that you and His Majesty Arthas behind you think carefully. ”

"If the current misfire turns into a full-scale war... Even without the help of the Darkblade, I don't think the Federation would lose! You and Arthas have seen the civilized society of the Commonwealth with your own eyes, and you should know this better than any other king. ”

After saying that, the somewhat old-fashioned parliamentarian bowed slightly to Queen Gianna, and followed the ambassador of the federal side to Pandaria, got into a carriage, and left in the direction of the Heavenly Temple.

"Let's go too."

Gianna watched her former elders leave, she sighed a little silently, and then said to Faric beside her:

"The panda people here don't seem to welcome us, so when you meet the panda people in charge, you should be gentle and don't wear weapons."

"Well, yes, Your Majesty."

———————————————————————

"I heard that the head of the Zhu sect gave the envoys of both the Federation and the Empire a dismount?"

The Great Lord, who walked in the elegant and fresh bamboo forest of the Emerald Forest, asked softly:

"That warrior monk with a tough personality sent Tanred and Valentine to the Great Wall of China to serve hard labor before the representatives of both sides arrived? Hehe, it's a beautiful job! ”

"That place is called Beaulie's Spine! It's not called the Great Wall. ”

The shadow following behind Tyrion corrected her boss's grammatical mistakes, and then she said in a brisk tone:

"Zhu Talan is very disgusted with these two forces because of the conflict between the Federation and the Empire in the open sea, which caused a rebellion, because of his intervention, the Golden Lotus Sect, which originally planned to open the port to the two sides for trade, also gave up this plan, according to the panda people, it seems that they want to investigate the attitude of the Federation and the Empire first... But anyway, the panda people are not stupid, I think that in a month at most, the ports of the Emerald Forest and Kasanlang Jungle will be open to both sides. ”

"Hmm... Based on your assessment, do you think the pandarens of Pandalia will be able to remain neutral in the gap between the Federation and the Empire? ”

Walking in the wind-blown bamboo garden with his hands behind his back, Tyrion said:

"And their attitude towards the Blightcaller's side?"

"According to the report submitted by Kodana, Zhu Talan and the Shadow Trace Sect under his command are a huge organization that has existed for 10,000 years, and the power of the Shadow Trace Sect is spread throughout Pandaria, although the Panda People do not have a superficial army, but only the Shadow Trace Sect and the apologetic warrior monks of the Four Heavenly God Temples combined, it is also an extremely large number, according to our assessment of these warrior monks who use "True Qi"..."

The shadow hesitated for a moment, and then said to his leader:

"If the Federation and the Empire want to coerce the Pandaren to turn to one of their side by force, they need to dispatch at least 5 or more standard legions to be able to defeat these well-trained warrior monks in a full-scale war, and I heard that on the Dragon's Back, the Pandaren also have a large number of extremely elite guardians, once those fierce generals who have been fighting the dangerous Zerg Mantis Demon head-on for many years join the battle, the resources that the Empire and the Federation need to invest will be multiplied."

"Also consider the influence of the supreme gods of this place on the war... In short, according to the preliminary assessment of the Intelligence Bureau, at least in the next 5 years, the Empire and the Federation should not be able to launch a large-scale conquest of the pandamen, but it is inevitable to win over neutral pandarens through trade. ”

"As for the contact between the panda people and the witherers, I don't see the results yet, but I have a feeling that the high-level of the panda people should be very interested in this kind of absolutely neutral third party... In particular, the Blightcaller's theory of "balance between life and death" is very similar to some of the important teachings in the traditional culture of the Pandaren, so Director Mavi and I are optimistic about the relationship between the Pandaburners and the Wither. ”

"Very good, well-reasoned, and convincing."

Tyrion did not hesitate to praise himself, he waved his hand, and said:

"Then let this situation continue to develop, throughout the history of the panda people, this is a race that is absolutely impossible to enslave or defeat, under that optimistic appearance, there is a heart that is more tenacious than the earth, even the legions of the former Titan Guardians have not been able to conquer them, although I am not afraid, but I do not want to destroy such a race with an extremely bright future... As long as we get rid of the influence of demons on this land... Then the panda people, who have stagnated their development for nearly 10,000 years, will definitely give us a surprise. ”

"But speaking of which, you shouldn't be on Ordam's side right now..."

Tyrion suddenly thought of something, he looked back at the shadow, and said with a serious face:

"Although I am in Pandaria, and the Darkblade's legions will enter here in the future, you should understand that Odham's actions are more than 10 times more important than Pandaria's side!"

"Director Mavi is in full charge of Oldum's operations!"

The shadow replied in a deep voice:

"She won't let you down! Trust me! ”

Tyrion didn't respond, he just stared at the shadow's blood-red eyes, and after a few seconds, he shook his head:

"Then I'm looking forward to the results she gives me... Speaking of which, between you and Mavi... Is it a revival of old love? Or..."

This sudden intimate question made Shadow's long ears jump twice, she thought she was hiding it well, but it was still seen through by Tyrion at a glance, and after more than ten seconds of awkward silence, Shadow turned her head to the other side, and she said as if complaining:

"You don't want me, don't you allow me to find anyone else?"

"Ahem"

Hearing this complaint, Tyrion coughed violently twice, this was not at all the action of the undead, it was clear that he was using this clumsy disguise to hide his embarrassment, and he walked forward as quickly as if he were fleeing:

"Uh, the green dragon is calling me, it's time to solve the suspicions of the Emerald Forest..."

"Also, I wish you all happiness, and..."

"I'm sorry."

Seeing Tyrion flee as if flying, the shadow standing in place shrugged his shoulders, and a moment later, a chuckle came from under the mask, and there was a hint of regret that could not be dissipated, the deputy director of the Darkblade Intelligence Bureau put his hands in his pockets, walking alone in this secluded bamboo garden, she seemed to enjoy the silence.

And a moment later, a vague sigh came from the bamboo forest:

"Aurelia... I was born thousands of years before you, but you are 300 years ahead of me..."

"It would have been nice if I had met him first..."

"You lucky woman..."
