41.The Wheel of Hate (Part II)

Miss Dryad Lunara has lived for nearly 10,000 years, she has personally experienced the Ancient War, she has seen the scene of the demon almost destroying the world, but she is not a well-informed person, after the Ancient War, she has hardly left the confines of the Night Elves, and her long life has hardly been mixed with anything other than the leisurely life of the Gray Valley.

As a result, she was unaware of the significance of the scene in front of her to humans and orcs.

But our Miss Lunara is also a good learner, so she quickly finds another person to inquire about humans and orcs.

"I've met your grandfather, Darth Rema. I also served as a commander under him, and fought demons with him during the War of the Ancients. ”

Lunara said to His Majesty Kael'thas, who was calm-looking:

"But unfortunately, 7,000 years ago, Darth Rema's followers created a magical explosion in Ashenvale, and then they were banished."

"Your name is also in the codex left by my grandfather, the eldest daughter of the forest."

Kael'thas looked at the lively dryad beside him, he had a sense of disobedience, as a member of the immortal species, Kael'thas rarely had this sense of disobedience, because the face of the dryad in front of him and the tone of her voice were like a young girl, but in fact, she was the elder of Kael'thas, according to the etiquette of the High Elves, Kael'thas also needed to show respect to this young and excessive girl.

But fortunately, the dryad in front of him didn't seem to care about these red tape, which made the Sun King breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"You want to know the story of humans and orcs? It's actually quite simple. ”

The Sun King watched the human kings sign the orc scrolls one by one, and as a bystander and participant who had personally experienced the two complete orc wars, Kael'thas also felt a little emotional.

He picked up a codex and handed it to the daughter of the forest beside him:

"This is the beginning and end of the war between humans and orcs recorded by the chroniclers of this race, and I can only say that these two races are definitely the most unlikely civilization to unite in the world of Azeroth, but they finally stand together, fate, sometimes so unexpected..."

"What about you?"

Lunara took Kael'thas's Codex, and asked curiously:

"You sit with the kings of the human race, and they respect you very much, does that mean that you have formed this kind of alliance with them... Coalition? ”

The question made Kael'thas smile, and the Sun King whispered:

"It's not just the Alliance, the eldest daughter of the forest, I've been seeking the independence of the High Elf civilization for some time in the past, but then something happened that made me realize that in this turbulent era, it may not be a good thing for a civilization that is not strong enough to remain independent... According to my predictions, if the Human Empire continues to develop benignly, perhaps in a few hundred years, the High Elves will become part of the Human Empire... Maybe they'll become their subjects. ”

"Then aren't you..."

"No, no, Lunara, it's not the dissolution of civilizations, it's the merging of two civilizations, which will eventually become a much more powerful civilization... Perhaps, this is also the future that the eyes that have been watching the world want to see... It's not fate, but it's more terrible than fate... If we are willing to submit to fate, why can't we obey its will? ”

Kael'thas smiled and stroked Miss Dryad's long green hair, and he whispered:

"In this era, weakness is the original sin."

The dryad didn't understand the helplessness in Kael'thas's words, and she was more curious about another question:

"It, who is it?"

The Sun King didn't answer the question, he fixed his eyes on the main podium, Thrall had already left, and it was time for the Night Elves to appear.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Ahem, I'm not used to this kind of situation."

Santis standing on the main podium. General Hazuki looked at those meaningful eyes below, she coughed lightly, and said aloud in a soldier-like manner:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I participated on behalf of the Night Elves in the Silisus War, when I was part of the Kalimdor Anti-Worm Front, and in that war, the army under my command suffered heavy casualties, and the Night Elves expressed our goodwill to you."

"Now, I still hope to invite, or ask you to participate in the ongoing war in the Ashen Valley and Mount Hyjal, or in the future, just like the battle of antiquity 10,000 years ago, where all the forces of civilization will unite to fight against the black hand who is trying to destroy the world."

General Hazuki took a deep breath, and there was a hint of murder in her beautiful eyes:

"I'm not a politician, I won't say too many pretty things, but I know, you know, once the northern frontier of Kalimdor is engulfed in the flames of war, the human empire will not be able to stand alone, no matter what the future holds, everyone longs for peace, so those black hands who try to stir up the wind and rain, that is our common enemy!"

"Wait!"

General Santis's speech was interrupted, and it was the orc chieftain Fenris who raised his hand, the old wolf cavalryman staring at Santis. Hazuki, he said in a deep voice:

"Elf, I know that you are not in the same league as those fools in Hyjal, you have participated in desert wars, and you are a comrade-in-arms that we can trust, but the question is, can you represent the entire Kadore civilization?"

The orc chief shook his head:

"Our Grand Chief is now imprisoned in Mount Hyjal, and he could die at the hands of your people at any moment, I don't want to threaten you, and I don't want to play up a horrible future, but the problem is, before we support you, or oppose you, we must see Orgrim's safety... If you can't commit to this, then the orcs can't trust you! ”

"It was an accident..."

Santis retorted, but was interrupted by King Liam on the human side, the young king with a scar on his face playing with the metal lighter in his hand, and he said in a deep voice:

"General Hazuki, you've made a mistake, you're our friend, yes, but your people aren't... Judging by Hyjal's previous attitude towards humans and other forces, your people have a kind of arrogance and stubbornness that we cannot understand, and the point of this matter now is that there are traitors within you... The threat of a traitor is more terrible than that of an enemy. ”

"And, do you really know what you want?"

Liam shook his head:

"Excuse me, what do you need us to do for you?" Hit Mount Hyjal and help you overthrow your mother's rule? Or help the Night Elves resist the demonic invasion? Or is it the Great Chief who rushes into the Moon Temple with the orcs and rescues the orcs as an elf? IMHO, General Hazuki, you have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. ”

Garin took Liam's words, he looked at Santis, who was a little dazed, and couldn't help but comment in his heart that this elven general who had lived for 10,000 years was really a political white girl, so the king simply directly picked out the problem that made Santis at a loss, he knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Shantis... Whatever you want me to do for you, now, as a foreign general, you are saying these words without the authorization of the supreme ruler, it means... You're trying to provoke a rebellion within the elves, even if your intention is to do good, but after the war is over, you're still going to be a rebel in your mother's eyes to collude with other forces, you know? ”

"I..."

Shantis subconsciously wanted to refute, but she was not a fool, she immediately realized that Garin and Liam were very right, she was bent on saving the impending catastrophe of Mount Hyjal and the Gray Valley, but she never considered the political aspects, the Night Elves ruled Kalimdo for 10,000 years, although these elves living in the forest are lazy by nature, it does not mean that they have no political factions within them.

At the beginning, Tyrande sent his adopted daughter Shantis to the Feras Wilderness, perhaps to avoid these **, but now, she has to step into it.

"So what?"

Garin and Liam exchanged glances, the two guys did not mean so pure, the two of them made eye contact for a few seconds, and then Garin asked seriously:

"Santis, you see, you are the most trusted elven general of the Human Empire, and I also know that you want to save your country and people, but can you really make up your mind? At the risk of breaking with your mother? Or even labeled as a rebel and bury all his future? ”

Now, even Drake and Varian understood what Garin and Liam were doing, but the two human kings did not stop it, on the contrary, they were happy to see the situation develop.

Politics is always so insidious and ugly, but it's no wonder that the kings of the human race, because the presence of the Night Elves has too much influence on the situation in Kalimdor.

Without asking for help, a civilization relied on its own standing army to withstand the frontal attack of nearly a million demons, and in the years that the war lasted, it firmly occupied the initiative in the war, and beat the fierce star demons to the point of being almost self-contained... This terrifying war potential, this terrifying advantage that the Night Elves have accumulated over the course of ten thousand years, is frankly enough to make any ruler close to the Elven civilization sleep.

Even if the Human Empire and the Orc Tribe help the Night Elves solve this conspiracy this time, will the three really be able to coexist peacefully in the future?

Look at how the elves treat the orcs, who are hostile to the elves even when they cut wood... And the Human Empire also needs these resources, and it is not obvious now, but if more resources are needed in the future, there is also a risk of being hostile to the Night Elves?

Is a civilization that can hold off the demon legions head-on that humans and orcs can really deal with together? No... This is another Dark Blade, perhaps not as terrifying as the Dark Blade Legion, not as crushing as the Dark Blade Legion, but the stubborn and unwilling Night Elves are still a threat to the surrounding forces... Especially if they don't want to communicate with the outside world at all.

But there is an opportunity hidden in any crisis, and as it is now, isn't this an opportunity to reasonably weaken the power of the Night Elves?

"Ahem"

Varian saw the confusion on Santis' face, the gladiator king who had been on the battlefield with General Hazuki couldn't help but cough lightly, he looked at Santis, and he said:

"We don't want to force you to make cruel choices, but as long as you nod your head, Santis, whatever you want to do, we'll help you, because you've shed blood for us, and now it's time for us to repay you..."

"Behold, this is man..."

The old chief, Kilrog, whispered to his son, who was sitting beside him:

"Learn more from this kind of shrewd thinking, and the orcs lack this kind of strategic thinking... If we could have thought of these things, we would have been founded in the Eastern Kingdom long ago. ”

Shantis. Hazuki was thinking confused right now, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

According to her idea, the union of humans and orcs, as well as the boar people and the minotaurs, as long as they twist into a rope, can rush into the gray valley and solve all the troubles that the night elves are currently encountering, they have defeated the terrible bugmen together, and they can also defeat the demons and other servants of the old gods, but... The price, after her human friend had pointed out to her the price of such an action, Santis hesitated rarely.

Although there is some conflict of ideas between her and her adoptive father and adoptive mother, she is not willing to stand on the opposite side of her parents, but now she knows the truth of the matter, while her mother is kept in the dark, and her father has been captured by the dangerous Empress Aishara, a dangerous traitor is hiding in the base camp of Mount Hyjal, the power of the Old Gods may attack at any time, and the innocent orc Great Chief imprisoned there...

Now, she must now make a decision.

"I... I..."

General Hazuki clenched her fists, which made her feel more difficult than carrying a warbow to face the old gods, and under the gaze of everyone present, Shantis. Hazuki closed her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm in the right thing... I, I need your help! Whatever the future holds, but for now... I need you! ”

"Good!"

Varian patted the table, and he muttered:

"The Seventh Legion will immediately assemble and unite with the Orcs of Glory to enter the Ashen Valley as the vanguard!"

"Kul Tiras's fleet will also depart at once."

King Drake looked at General Santis, and a gleam flashed in his eyes:

"But we need the Night Elves to be open to us in all ports on the Black Coast and Firas, only then can we put our army on the flanks of the battlefield as quickly as possible."

"No problem!"

Santis nodded, and the next speaker was Kael'thas, the elegant Sun King who said to General Hazuki:

"We can construct a portal phalanx from the Feras Wilderness to Ashenvale, but we need you to provide specific coordinates, and of course, if you can provide spatial coordinates that lead directly to Mount Hyjal... That couldn't be better. ”

"We need the elven army to open up all military rights of passage in the Stonetalon Mountains, so that the Horde's troops in the Stonetalon Mountains can go all the way north into the battlefield in the middle of the Grey Valley..."

"We need..."

One after another the demands were spoken, and Santis, who said it, was confused, and finally the Hazuki general couldn't help but shout loudly:

"That's enough, oh my! I promise you all! Don't waste any time! Let's go to war! ”

At this moment, a different light flashed in the eyes of all the delegates, and finally Varian said with a final word:

"Well, then as you wish!"

"Today, we will participate in this war!"
