Chapter 513: The Prelude to the Northern Expedition
The Alliance, on the other hand, has a lot of influence in Kalimdor with Darnassus and Essoda, compared to the fact that the Horde cannot even control half of the entire Kalimdor, and can only survive in the central part of the continent of Kalimdor.
A change must be made, this is a firm thought in Thrall's heart, now, the whole tribe has to face many problems, but it can only be done slowly, gradually changing the status quo.
Originally, he wanted to use the alliance to get rid of Kael'thas, and then use the hatred of the High Elves and the alliance to join the tribe, but this idea, with the return of Storm Fortress to Quel'Thalas, ended in vain.
After thinking about it for a while, Thrall said to Bloodhoof and Woking: "The tribe needs new members, the alliance is getting more and more powerful, and the relationship between Quel'Salas and us is unclear, we can't completely count on them, we need new members to improve the overall strength of the tribe." ”
"It's up to you to find new allies for the Horde."
Woking immediately understood what Sal meant, and Sal's meaning was likely to refer to Delaney, and the alliance had Delaney joined, and its strength had also been improved by leaps and bounds.
On the other hand, the area controlled by the tribe is barren, and even if the two sides do not fight and have no hatred, the development of the tribe is not as good as that of the alliance. However, under the existing factors, once there is a huge deviation in the comparison of strength between the two sides, then the good days of the tribe will come to an end, as evidenced by Nao Zu decades ago.
The first invasion of the tribe, the defeat of the Storm Kingdom, the fall of the entire southern part of the eastern continent, and the second war, the entire eastern continent was plunged into the flames of war, and all the human kingdom alliances almost never fought the tribe, if it weren't for Gul'dan leading the three clans to flee in a hurry, the result of the defense of the royal city of Lordaeron is not known.
Later, when the orcs were defeated, King Terenus completely raised the orcs as slaves. Now, if one day the orcs are defeated by the alliance and the tribe is completely disintegrated, Varian's hatred of killing his father and destroying his country will make the Stormwind Kingdom make a very "appropriate" choice for the orcs.
"I see, we'll do what you want." Woking and Bloodhoof immediately said.
Woking also made a point: "In addition to this, we need to maintain internal stability, and at the same time, we need to reconsider our relationship with other forces. ”
"Not bad." Thrall nodded and agreed, "We can't make enemies with the High Elf Kingdom now, and the Arcane Covenant formed by the Lord Regent will share some of the pressure of the Alliance for us." Tell Garrosh not to mind the affairs of the Blue Dragons, no matter what the Blue Dragons do, these things are the affairs of the Arcane Covenant and Dalaran and the Alliance, and we only need to be bystanders. ”
Lord Sarufar: "I've received the news, and for some unknown reason, the Blue Dragons have stopped gathering arcane energy. ”
"Let the Alliance and the Convention take care of their own affairs." Thrall continued, "Sarufin, Agmar, and Warnock-Windfury, the three of you are in charge of the Northern Expedition as a whole, and you personally lead the Kukaron forces into battle, with Sarufen continuing to serve as overseer. ”
"Yes." Three high-ranking officials received orders at the same time.
"Revenge is the first priority for the Forsaken, so let Sylvanas speed up the Northern Expedition, let the Forsaken land in the Howling Fjord, join up with the Kukaron army from east of Northrend to the Dragonbone Wastes, increase the Horde's influence on Northrend, and send Krena the Conqueror to set up camp in Grizzly Hills to keep an eye on the Forsaken's movements."
"What is this?" Hamuel-Rune Totem asked puzzledly, "Howling Fjord is inhabited by the Vikus, and the entire sea east of Howling Fjord has almost fallen into the hands of the Alliance, and there is only one newly established port of Quel'Thalas, so wouldn't Sylvanas land in Howling Fjord, push the Forsaken into the High Elves' sphere of influence?" ”
Woking Sr. explained, "It was precisely because the Howling Fjords were controlled by the Coalition that Sylvanas had to log in from there. The undead hate the living, and the Forsaken will definitely clash with the Alliance, and the purpose of the Great Chief is to weaken the power of the Forsaken and make Sylvanas dependent on the Horde, even if Sylvanas has Patrick's support, he will not dare to break away from us at will. The purpose of Krena entering Grizzly Hills is to receive the Forsaken, that is, to prevent the Forsaken from suffering too much damage in battle, and to neutralize some of the Alliance's influence in Northrend. ”
Thrall's calculations are sufficient, and he can count them in one fell swoop, weakening the uncontrollable, strengthening the Tribe's grip on the Forsaken, while calming the conflict between the Horde and Quel'Thalas, and hoping to increase the strength of new allies.
At the end of the meeting, everyone took the order and left.
In the end, Sal was left alone in the conference room, touching the dry chair behind him, and Sal muttered, "The tribe will not sit still." ”
……
Stormwind Kingdom, Stormwind City.
"Duke Berval, this big battle, please for you." After returning to Stormwind, Varian also began to prepare for the Northern Expedition, the vanguard of the Alliance had already left for Northrend, and now it was necessary to transport the main force over, and then the armies of the other forces would join forces and destroy Arthas.
"I will live up to my mission." Boval bowed.
As the former regent, Boval was ordered to assist the young prince Anduin in the management of the Stormwind Kingdom after Varian was kidnapped by Onexia. But Anduin is a big child, what ability can he govern the country, the military of the entire Stormwind Kingdom is controlled by Berval, and the administrative work is responsible for the entire House of Lords led by Catlana Presto, at that time, Katrana, who was in power in Stormwind City, had to look at Boward's face to do things, and Katrana did not dare to blatantly destroy the existing order in Stormwind City.
What's more, after Varian is no longer there, the military power of the entire kingdom is in the hands of Berval alone, and no one can control Berval at all, as long as Berval has a slight will, then the current king of the Stormwind Kingdom is him Berval-Vortagen.
"Our plan in the Outlands has failed this time, allowing Kael'thas to return to Azeroth, and now that Dalaran is under a lot of pressure, we may have to do something with Dalaran." Varian pondered. Although Varian was very unhappy, but the reality was like this, and he couldn't make a choice, thinking of Patrick's face, there was a thorn in Varian's heart.
"I'll do my best, Dreadnought Fortress has been established in the Borean Tundra and the Dwarven Explorers' Guild has taken root in Howling Sound, and it's only a matter of time before a battle line is formed."
