Chapter 655: How can there be a wall that can't be dug down
Leo said that the interests of the alliance are the same, and no one in the hall refutes it, and this is indeed the case, counting the cold night elves, the four races that make up the alliance are a whole, and since they are a whole, they certainly have common interests.
Little Anduin pondered what had happened in the main hall, and after a while he looked up at Leo and said, "I think you're right. ”
Leo bent down and patted Anduin Jr. on the back, motioning for him to go to Varian.
"I promised you to save the lives of those Blackstone Orcs, but after all, they are the spoils of the Alliance's warriors through heroic battles, and we can't let the blood of the Alliance's warriors be shed in vain, so even if we want to let them go, we must let the tribe pay accordingly. Your Royal Highness the Little Prince, it is good to have a benevolent heart, but you must do things in a way, and at the same time you can win the benefits you deserve while doing benevolent deeds, why not? ”
"Haha, I might want Anduin to learn with you for a while, Leo."
Varian laughed, Leo had done him a favor, both for the benefit of the Alliance and for the family conflict between their father and son, and he was in a good mood right now.
Shrugging his shoulders, Leo hurriedly excused himself: "Hey, Varian, do you think that's appropriate?" I'm a warlock, and Prince Anduin, if I'm not mistaken, he already has a faint amount of light in him, and I think you'd be more than happy to see a paladin born. ”
Just kidding, Leo didn't want to bring a small oil bottle, and he wasn't a daddy.
Leo refused, but Varian did not give up, and the king of the Stormwind Kingdom said meaningfully, "Can't a warlock teach a paladin?" That minotaur named Gamor was taught by you, the Walker, a believer in the sun god Anshe, it's really interesting. ”
Expecting this kind of thing to happen, Leo replied while walking towards Scarlett: "The Holy Light is generated by faith, how to obtain the power of the Holy Light is not a very secret matter, as long as you have the heart, everyone has the opportunity to become a paladin, the key is whether the faith you adhere to can be recognized by the Holy Light." Just like the original dwarven kingdom, the dwarves of Ironforge Castle will be born only after the approval of the Holy Light. ”
The close relationship between the dwarves and humans in Ironforge is greatly related to the fact that both races also have paladins, and the dwarves learned from humans how to master the power of the Light, and found identification with the Light in their own history, and the Light responded to them, so the first dwarven paladins were born.
"Leo, are you sure there's nothing wrong with Gamor?"
Compared to Leo who didn't take Gammour's becoming a paladin too seriously, Varian was worried, and the paladin who mastered the power of the Holy Light was the patent of the Alliance, but now he was learned by Gamor, and the impact on the Alliance was by no means extraordinary.
In Varian's eyes, a half-length minotaur with the appearance of a minotaur is also a minotaur, and as an ally of the orcs and a member of the tribe, it is not a good thing for the alliance that the Minotaur has been born among them to wield the power of the Holy Light.
If someone else brought the paladin's fire to the tribe Stormwind and Ironforge, he would have hunted him down and killed him, but the person who did it was Leo, who was in power in Aratho, the man who confronted the Firedemon Ragnaros head-on in the battle of Blackstone Mountain, the alliance could not take drastic actions at will, and could only be asked by Varian and other high-ranking leaders to ask him for a reasonable explanation.
"I know your suspicions, the Minotaurs are allies of the orcs and are not part of the Alliance, and they are technically our enemies. But don't forget, despite the alliance with Orgrimmar in Thunder Bluff, the Minotaurs are not directly involved in the war with the Alliance, and on the contrary, they have a good relationship with the Night Elves. ”
Speaking of this, Leo pursed his lips, not only is it not so simple, the entangled relationship between the Night Elves and the Minotaur is not an exaggeration to say that it is intimate, just look at the Cenarion Council to understand the cattle.
"You want to win them over?"
Varian's eyes lit up, he could hear Leo mention that the relationship between the Night Elves and the Minotaurs meant something else, Gamor was cultivated by the human kingdom of Araso, who would his heart favor between the Alliance and the Horde?
Leo snorted, with an expression that still needed to be said: "Although the famous flower has a master, it also needs to be loosened often, as long as the hoe is good, how can there be a wall that can't be dug down?" ”
As the first Walker Gamor's influence on the Minotaur clan will never be small, if the Walker is used as an opportunity to pry the corners of the tribe, even if it is not successful, it can cultivate a pro-alliance force in the Thunder Cliff, plus the Minotaur is already close to the Night Elves, their support for the tribe will be weakened a lot.
"That's a good idea, but will Kane watch the Walker grow?"
Varian, who didn't care about Gamor, was a little worried about this minotaur paladin, and the tribe hated him the most was the orcs who had a grudge against him to destroy his family and country, and he didn't really reject the minotaur Varian.
"Kane won't refuse, and the fact that the situation doesn't allow him to refuse the Walker." Leo, who had long considered this, was confident, "After the battle in the Plague Lands is over, the Silver Crusade will be led by the Great Lord to make a northern expedition to Northrender to conquer the Scourge Legion, the undead Scourge is a threat to the whole world, and it is impossible for the tribe to stay out of it, and at that time, it will become extremely important for the strong who can master the power of the Holy Light, and it will become inevitable to cultivate the Walkers." ”
Isn't the Silver Crusade Lord Scarlett?
Varian, Salgas and the others had a look of sudden realization on their faces, it turned out that Scarlett's purpose of uniting the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade was not just to fight against the Scourge Legion, and there was such a hand waiting behind.
The two who are in charge of the kingdom of Alaso are going to work together to pit Kane and the tribe.
got a reasonable explanation from Leo, and the matter of Gammor becoming a paladin was revealed, and what Varian wanted was just an attitude from the Kingdom of Arasuo, and if they could really use Gamor to pry the corners of the tribe, the high-level members of the alliance would be happy to see it.
"Okay, I've already explained what happened to Galmore, and it seems that everyone has no objection to my approach, so let's discuss how to send troops to the Plaguelands."
Leo had said in front of Itreig that the Alliance would send troops to the Plaguelands to stabilize the eroding situation there, this was not just to prevaricate the tribes, what is the current situation in the Plaguelands, everyone here knows that if there are no more reinforcements, once the Silver Crusade is defeated, the Plaguelands Scourge army will no longer have anyone to hold them back.
"The thought of Mograine at the command of the Scourge in the Plaguelands makes me feel like we're cursed, it's a tragedy that the Alliance has lost a great warrior and a noble hero, while those damned undead Scourge have one more outstanding commander."
Salgas tugged at his beard with a depressed face, the fall of the Ash Lord Mograini was another heavy blow to the Alliance after Arthas's father-killing, although no one wanted to see such a thing happen, but the reality ruthlessly kicked the Alliance's already wounded heart, and now they had to wipe the blood from their wounds to face this damn reality.
"Alas!" Varian let out a long sigh, his face heavy, "There are fewer natural disasters to deal with the plague land, and the army that goes there must also choose elites, but the battle of Blackstone Mountain has just ended, and the troops still need to recuperate, and we really can't draw enough manpower." ”
The current situation is indeed embarrassing, the alliance does not send troops to Kalimdor to participate in the war against the beetlemen, although it also has the meaning of sitting and watching the tribe suffer losses, but more of them are powerless, the Scourge Legion in the Plague Land is like a sword hanging over their heads, so that the alliance must always be careful to ensure that there are enough troops in their territory at any time, so that there are naturally not many people who can be deployed.
"There won't be any more troops in Ironforge, now is a good time to reclaim Nomorigen, we've been preparing for this for a long time, and even if King Magni agrees to move the army, the Mecatok Masters won't let them go."
Salgas scratched his head, distressed by the dwarven general's dispatch to the Plaguelands.
On the one hand, it is a dilemma to help the gnomes recover Nomorigan, and on the other hand, to fight the Scourge Legion to stabilize the situation in the Plaguelands.
"Leo, what do you think of Theramore's army? I can draw 20,000 troops. ”
Gianna and Ronin, who had been hiding since Atrigue came, walked out, there were not many troops in Theramore, and it was a big risk to be able to draw out 20,000, but in Gianna's opinion, it was worth it, and it was important to deal with the Scourge Legion.
"Violet Castle can support an army of two thousand mages."
The power in Luo Ning's hands is not weak, he lacks everything there is no shortage of mages, two thousand mages don't look at the number of people, but the lethality is very good.
Gianna and Ronin are both leaders of neutral forces, and it is inconvenient for them to participate in a war between the Horde and the Alliance, but now they have to fight against the Scourge Legion, and the two of them have much less scruples.
"Even with the addition of Theramore and Violet's armies, it's not enough."
There was a lot of anger in the palace hall, and the situation in the plague land was not enough, but it was sad that people could not ignore it.
"Why do we have to draw from our small number of troops?"
Leo's voice broke the silence in the temple, and his words made people wonder, where would they go if they didn't draw troops from Ironforge, Stormwind and Riptide? Soldiers don't say they have them.
"You seem to have forgotten that the Alliance has an ally besides Ironforge, Stormwind, and Riptide."
Is it possible to borrow troops from the Night Elves?
