Chapter 798: A Party
Sixty days is two months, which is not too short, and it is not too long.
Two months may still make Leo feel a little bit when he's fine, but not when hectic.
Once a person is entangled in things, time passes imperceptibly, and only in the dead of night is saved - ah, another day has passed.
Since the news of the success of the Leo Shock Demigod came out, Riptide Castle has been completely lively.
The various forces of the human race itself, the races that are friendly with the human race, whether or not they have cooperated with the kingdom of Arasuo, have sent envoys to congratulate them.
The birth of a human demigod is not only related to Leo himself, nor is it just the matter of the kingdom of Araso, it is a major event of the entire human race, and it has a vital impact on the status of human beings.
Knowing that Leo was successfully promoted to demigod, even those who hate humans have to admit a fact - the status of the human race has risen.
With a demigod, humans are no longer cannon fodder races at the mercy of others, although they still don't have the strength to say no loudly in front of some powerful races, but there is still bargaining capital, and if you want humans to contribute in the future, you will have to pay the price.
Of course, this is on the premise that the human race itself can unify its understanding.
There is a famous saying that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and your human race itself is torn apart, so how can you have the qualifications to negotiate with those powerful beings?
The royal palace of Riptide Castle replaced the Stormwind fortress in Stormwind City as a place for the heads of the Terran forces to discuss important matters, not because the Kingdom of Araso is stronger than the Kingdom of Stormwind, but because it is inhabited by the only demigod of the human race who is actively involved in the affairs of the Terrans, Leo.
Guided by Verry, Ronin walked into Leo's room, and the Terran Master found himself the last of them to arrive.
Gianna of Theramore, Jean of Gilne, Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom, and Ferdin, who is actually in charge of the Silver and White Cross military objects, plus the two masters of Riptide Castle, Scarlett and Leo herself, the queen of the Kingdom of Arathus, the leaders of the largest forces in the Terran have gathered here, and if anyone can kill all the people in this room, the entire Terran will have to be in chaos.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Leo nodded to Scarlett and motioned for the paladin to start the party.
"You should understand that the AlaΓ§o sent someone to lead you here today to discuss important matters, and there are many people in the council hall, which is too easy to attract attention, so Leo and I chose this place."
Scarlett opened by pointing out the nature of the party - an important meeting that was very private and not suitable for outsiders to know.
Everyone present knew that it could be inferred from the fact that the people sent by the Kingdom of Araso had secretly informed them.
Ronin and Gianna didn't react, while Varian and Jean had relaxed expressions on their faces.
Originally, they thought that the kingdom of Araso wanted to take advantage of Leo becoming a demigod to ask for more say in the alliance and seek greater benefits, but now it seems that things are not as they think.
If Scarlett wanted to do that, the things that were being discussed at the meeting would not be private.
In fact, both Varian and Jean have made some preparations for this, but Scarlett doesn't mention it, and these preparations are not useful for the time being.
"Master Ronin, I wonder what the attitude of the Kenrito Council is right now."
Luo Ning was a little surprised, originally he thought that he had nothing to do, but who expected Scarlett to be the first to point to him.
Kenrito Council has always been neutral, what attitude can we have?
The Terran mages who have become a demitheus and are presiding over the rebuilding of Dalaran are welcome.
Of course, on the surface, they still have to maintain a certain neutral stance.
moved his mouth, Luo Ning was about to answer but suddenly stopped.
It's not that simple!
It suddenly occurred to Ronin that Scarlett was not asking about the attitude of the Kenrito Council towards Leo becoming a demigod, but the position of the Kenrito Council after this incident.
Whether to continue to maintain the current neutrality, or to move closer to the human race and be on the same side as the human kingdoms such as Alasuo.
Judgment, Ronin's gaze swept over everyone in the room, and he found Varian, Jean, and Gianna all waiting for his answer.
He was not the only one who was smart, and it was clear that the three Terran leaders had also heard what Scarlett really meant.
After a little hesitation, Luo Ning decided to tell the truth: "The Kenrito Council is biased towards the alliance from the heart, after all, we are both Terran mages, but many times things are not up to us, I have to consider other factors......"
"Like Crassus?"
Before Ronin could finish speaking, Leo interrupted him.
Crassus is a red dragon, and is the companion of the red dragon queen Alexta, the human race has no big back, and the mages of the Kenrito Council have learned from the destruction of Dalaran and are determined to hug the thick thighs of the red dragon, so that the human race can also have something to rely on.
This is wise even now, but after Leo became a demigod, there was no need to hold this thick thigh so tightly, and it could be loosened to a limited extent, and there was no need to look at the red dragon's face in everything.
After all, humanity, as a new race in this world, is inherently rebellious, and has no idea of being attached to other races, and they want to become a second elven race, and they want to deal with powerful dragons like elves rather than under their wings.
Luo Ning shook his head with a sigh, who would want to hug someone's thighs if it was unnecessary?
"You want us to give up our neutrality and join the alliance, I'm afraid this won't work."
Although the demigods are strong, they can't compare to the dragons, and Leo wants the Kenrito Council to give up its neutrality, which is forcing them to turn against Crassus, and it is impossible for the Kenrito Council to agree.
In a word, he wants the Kenrito Council to act according to his orders, and now Leo is not so face-saving.
Waving his hand, Leo motioned for Ronin to listen to him.
"I'm not asking the Kenrito Council to abandon its neutrality immediately, and it won't do anyone any good, at least until the Scourge is resolved."
"You want the Kenrito Council to act as a link between the Alliance and the Horde and join forces to march on Northrend?"
This time it was Gianna who interjected, the Lord of Theramore, who was fully in favor of Leo's proposal.
"That's right, just like the Council of Cenarion did when dealing with the Chira Beetles of Silishus." Leo's gaze turned to Varian and Jean, who asked for the human king's opinion, "What do you think?" β
Yes, of course!
Although they are reluctant to join forces with the Horde, Varian and Jean are not easily swayed by personal feelings when it comes to such matters.
The Northern Expedition to Northrend alone has left the Alliance mired in war with the Scourge once again, while the Horde has stood by and taken the opportunity to recuperate, and no Alliance leader will allow such a thing to happen.
In the face of the Scourge Legion, which brought death and plague, it was not only the Alliance that was harmed, but the Horde was also suffering, and they had no reason to refuse.
Seeing that Varian and Jean agreed, Leo made a decision: "Ronin, I hope you can convey our opinion to the Kenrito Council and ask them to contribute to this matter, as long as you can move Crassus, I believe that the tribe will not refuse if the dragon comes forward." β
With the Scourge being a common enemy of the Alliance and the Horde, and with the dragon as the go-between, Thrall couldn't refuse the request, even though he knew that the constant war would cause great damage to the orc's already small population.
The so-called people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, and there are some things that you know will suffer if you do them, but you have to do them.
"Of course."
Exterminating the Scourges is also good for the Dragons themselves, who let the Temple of Dragon's Sleep be in Northrend?
Ronin had nine points to convince Crassus.
"While cooperating with dragons is beneficial to us humans, I still hope that the Kenrito Council will gradually free ourselves from the dragons' control, we humans are not a vassal race of dragons, and I will not allow this to happen."
Leo meant something, and Scarlett, Jean, and Varian's eyes couldn't help but pass over Ronin and Gianna.
Needless to say, the Kenrito Council, where Ronin is located, has almost become Crassus's private place, and the mages of Dalaran have done a lot to hold on to this thick thigh, and so has Gianna, who was born in Dalaran.
There is a big difference between the reading race and the vassal race, and this difference is not in strength, nor in appearance, but in spirit.
A race that reads its own and stands tall on its own, with a degree of tenacity far beyond that of a vassal race.
Once the race of Reading Power chooses to become a vassal of a powerful race, they have already dropped a notch on the spiritual level.
If human beings don't have the ability to stand on their own, Leo can only pinch his nose and admit it, but human beings have this ability, even if they have a hard time, Leo will not allow humans to become vassals of others, of course, those who volunteer to be slaves Leo can't control it.
Gianna smiled, there was a bitter taste in her smile, no one wants to be someone else's vassal, but the situation is stronger than people, sometimes people really don't have a choice.
The Lord of Theramore sighed and said, "When the disaster happened, our Terran suffered too much, my teacher Antonidas, and Dalaran was destroyed, and I thought at that time that if we could have the support of the dragons like the elves, this would not be the case. As for what happened next, a lot of it wasn't what we intended. β
The death of Antonidas and the destruction of Dalaran seemed to drain all the spirit of the Terran mages, and the Terran mages who suffered greatly fell from the clouds to the ground in one fell at a time, and they changed from extreme pride to extreme inferiority, and they felt that they could not even stand up straight after being broken by Akmund.
Humans are the most extreme creatures, and from one extreme to the other, isn't that the inferiority of Dalaran's mage from the pride of establishing the magical capital to Dalaran's destruction?
Leo is not saying that these Terran mages are bad, in fact, it is their tight embrace of the dragon's thighs that has given the Terrans a limited degree of protection, and also given the Terrans a chance to re-establish themselves as a strong race after the war.
"Times have changed, and we can't always do things the same way. There are always times when people make mistakes, but don't be afraid to do things because they will make mistakes, as long as you are worthy of your heart. β
Leo looked at Gianna, who turned her head in the other direction under his gaze, and her performance made Leo sure of one thing, that the woman who was known as the First Mage of the Terrans did not care as much as outsiders thought that something had happened.
That's a point that can be borrowed.
Someone has a different thought in their mind.
