Chapter 656: Only darker

The strength of the Night Elves is the strongest among the various races in the Alliance, there is no doubt about this, and when the human dwarves and gnomes have no troops to send, everyone is naturally the first to think of them, but are the Night Elves really another ally in Leo's mouth?

Leo was about to elaborate on the sound of footsteps outside the temple, when a palace guard from the Stormwind Kingdom walked in quickly, it turned out that Itreg had finished discussing with Thrall, and the orc swordmaster was outside the temple.

Gianna and Ronin vanished, and they hid once again with their invisibility skills. If the orc messenger were to see the people of Theramore and Violet Castle in the Stormwind Fortress, no one knew what misunderstanding would arise, and this was not something that everyone wanted to see, although Leo and Varian and other high-ranking members of the Alliance really wanted these two human mages to make it clear that they supported the Alliance.

"The Great Chief has agreed to your request."

As expected by Leo, the orcs did not refuse the alliance's proposal, 30,000 orcs and Leo had mentioned before that this was an orc army, and it was already implying that the more than 30,000 blackstone orcs captured by Itreg were all young and strong who could fight when they took up arms, and there were no old and weak women and children, with the current population of the orcs, how could they refuse such a large number of laborers?

"However, the Alliance needs to equip them with weapons and armor, and the Great Chief wants them to be useful in the shortest possible time."

That's the condition of the orcs, they agree that the alliance will take prisoners as reinforcements, but the alliance can't let them go into battle empty-handed.

The Kalimdor continent where the orcs are located is very barren, whether it is Durontal, the Barren Land, the Thousand Needles Stone Forest or the Stone Claw Mountains, or Aishara are all desolate areas where a few grasses cannot be grown, and the real control of the Kalimdor Continent tribes is only the Mogaore Grassland, where the Minotaur is located, is richer, and the other gray valleys, the Firas tribe does not have absolute control, even the same desolate and desolate land.

It is not easy to thrive in such a land, and it is a big burden for Orgrimmar to ask the orcs to come up with armaments that can supply 30,000 people to fight at once, and the orcs already feel that they belong to the side that suffers in this incident, and they are naturally unwilling to put this burden on themselves.

"No problem, you can go and see those orcs now, and what you want will be delivered before you take them back to Kalimdor. Guards, take him to the place where the orc prisoners of war are being held. ”

Varian knew that the orcs would not budge on this issue, and the equipment of 30,000 troops was a burden to the orcs but not a problem for the Alliance, so he didn't bother to waste any more time on it.

Knowing that the other party was already calling for a send-off, and that he didn't want to stay in Stormwind for longer, Itreg walked out and received the more than 30,000 orc prisoners of war under the guidance of a palace guard who had been instructed to do so a long time ago.

"Tsk, that's a full 30,000 sets of equipment, and the orcs took it away in a word, can there be anything easier than this?"

Salgas shook his head after Itreig left, and the dwarven general was a little unhappy that Varian had generously agreed to equip the orcs with 30,000 outfits.

"I only promised to give each orc a set of equipment, and I didn't say that it was the equipment of the regular army."

Varian's fluttering words made Salgas's displeasure disappear.

In the division of the army, the equipment of the regular army is the most neat, up to the helmet and shoulder armor, down to the leggings and combat boots, and the weapons in the hand often need to be backed up, which costs a lot to get down, but if it is not a regular army but an ordinary local garrison, it is much simpler - a weapon to cut people, a pair of armor to protect the body. As for the militia further down, not to mention, the weapons are rudimentary, and it is good to have a piece of leather armor on the body to protect the chest and back.

Of course, it was impossible for Varian to equip the orcs with the militia's equipment, and although he wanted to, itregg would never agree, so the only thing the orc Juggernaut could receive was the standard configuration of the local garrison.

Sure enough, the kings were all black-bellied.

Leo looked at the dome of the hall with an expression that I hadn't heard anything, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there was a lot of equipment that the garrison in the Western Wilderness had replaced before, and it has been in the warehouse for two or three years and no one has used it, do you take this opportunity to deal with it."

It's just a lack of catties and two, you still fool people with second-hand goods, and sure enough, there is no blackest, only blacker.

Leo glanced at Onexia, who made this request from the Black Dragon Princess, who was the Countess of Presto.

Noticing Leo's gaze, Onexia bowed her head, and no one saw the panic that flashed in her eyes.

Although the story of the battle of Blackstone Mountain has not yet spread, how could she, as the real power of the Tempest Kingdom, not know?

It is precisely because of the Leo Alliance that not only destroyed the fire demon slaves of the Molten Heart, but also exterminated the Black Dragon Legion of the Black Wing Lair, although Onexia has learned from Xenaisaraya that the destruction of the Black Wing Lair is the result of Nefarian's disobedience to the Black Dragon Queen's orders, but the real executor is Leo is beyond doubt.

As soon as Leo was able to cooperate with Xinaisaraya, Onexia felt extremely jealous of him.

didn't pay much attention to the black dragon princess, Leo didn't know Onexia's thoughts, this black dragon princess who entered the interior of the Storm Kingdom was just a chess piece in his eyes, do chess players need to care about the thoughts of chess pieces? Obviously not, all he has to do is play the role of every piece in his hand and make a good hand.

Gianna and Ronin reappeared, neither of them saying anything about Varian's approach, their expressions falling on Leo's eyes more or less confirming some of his thoughts.

"Alright, let's move on to our previous topic." Sending Itreig away, Varian turned the subject back, "Leo, you mean to borrow troops from the Night Elves?" Although Darnassus is a member of the Alliance, it is still difficult for the Night Elves to intervene, and it is impossible for Tyrandeken to help the war in the Plaguelands for so long. ”

The Night Elves have the strength and arrogance, and it is very difficult to invite them, not to mention Varian, even Scarlett is not optimistic about it.

"Borrowing troops from the Night Elves? I didn't have that intention. ”

Leo waved his hand, Varian and they looked up to him too much, Leo couldn't do such a difficult thing, he didn't have that much face now.

Not the Night Elves!

The eyes of everyone in the hall flashed with doubt, except for the forces of the Night Elf Alliance, which force can still send enough reinforcements now?

Seeing that everyone looked like they were thinking hard, Leo raised his index finger and shook it, and the corners of his mouth outlined an indistinguishable arc.

"You seem to have forgotten that the Alliance has a kingdom besides the Kingdom of Stormwind and Alatho."

Gianna's Theramore is a neutral force, and although it is also a kingdom founded by humans, it is not part of the Alliance, and Leo says that it should be excluded in the first place.

Varian's eyes flashed, and he stood up with a snort, staring at Leo with blazing eyes: "Are you talking about them?" ”

Leo nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's them, the kingdom of Gilneth who closed themselves behind the walls of Greymanne. ”

The Kingdom of Gilneys, a kingdom founded by humans, a country that joined the Alliance at the end of the war with the Orcs under pressure from other countries, and although they defeated the Orcs along with the rest of the Alliance, the king of Gilneth refused to pay a huge sum of money for the establishment of the Orc camp, and Gilness withdrew from the Alliance.

This is the official version, and in fact everyone knows that the real reason for the withdrawal of the Kingdom of Gilneth from the Alliance is not the same, and the kingdom was initially subordinate to the Arathi Empire like the Kingdom of Alterac, until they became more powerful and had their own beliefs and customs, and the Greymane family, who ruled there, split the land.

After becoming a country of its own, Gilneys under the leadership of the Greymane family vigorously developed the military, and in a short period of time became one of the top military powers at that time. Greyman's confidence was so strong that he believed his kingdom was capable of dealing with all crises, so he refused to join the alliance until all the human nations pressured him.

Truth be told, the Greymane family, who control the country, have behaved very unkindly.

They did nothing to help in the midst of humanity's peril, watching their people die as the orcs and the Burning Legion attacked, and the Wall of Greymane, which it built to seal the entire country, was never opened, ignoring the countless people who had fled with cries and screams.

Who would be happy to deal with them in a country like this?

So much so that after they withdrew from the alliance, even the human kingdom of the same race turned a blind eye to them, and no one cared about the life or death of the Gilneth kingdom - since you have excluded yourself from the alliance, then the alliance will naturally not take you Gilneth to heart.

"You're talking about Gilneth, hehe!" Varian shook his head amusedly, unimpressed by Leo's words, "Leo, don't think that everyone is human so they will help us fight against the Scourge Legion, you don't know how selfish Gilneth really is. These guys are sturdy, but they speak vulgarly, and that's fine, and if that were the case, we wouldn't have excluded this kingdom from the alliance all the time, and the most disgusting thing is their selfishness, and the thought of these guys will sit by and watch their people be slaughtered without reaching out to help, and the thought of these guys makes me sick. ”

The Greymane family has offended a lot of people, but I didn't expect Varian to have such a deep grudge against them.

Leo was puzzled, and Scarlett leaned into his ear and whispered an explanation: "Leo, the people of Gilneth live in extreme isolation, and the most infuriating thing is that Jean has said very inappropriate things to Tyrenus. ”

So that's the case, Leo understands why Varian is so dislike to the Kingdom of Gilneis, King Jean of Gilness is actually disrespectful to Tyrenus, whom Varian respects the most, and this kingdom has done unpleasant things, so they deserve to be ostracized.

"Extreme isolation? Can Gilneth stay isolated? Leo didn't give up, "I think we should try, maybe the Greymans will accept our proposal." ”
