Chapter 1068: This is the exchange
Leo always thought that putting on an underwhelming face, saying underwhelming, and going to other people's territory to make all kinds of arrogant waves was the privilege of the kind of villain who lived up to two episodes in a series, and he didn't expect that he would get such an errand one day.
Well, Leo admits that he came to Orgrimmar to be arrogant, to show off his might. Of course, if you want to understand it in a different way, it is the human messenger who has gained the upper hand and obtained the moral high ground to question the orcs.
In short, in short, Leo is the messenger of humanity and nothing more.
Coming to the Chief's Hall again, the hall is still the same hall, and the people are still the same people, but everyone's mood is completely different.
Bowing slightly towards Sal, Leo said with a smile on his face, "Great Chief Sal, long time no see. ”
After speaking, Leo turned his head to look at Lexa standing on the side of the hall, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Isn't this Lexa, Silisus I miss you when I say goodbye, you have been eating well and sleeping well recently?" ”
Lexa was furious, he knew that it was Leo who ruined his plan, if he could, Lexa really wanted to kill Leo now, but unfortunately he didn't dare, because once he made a move, it would be the entire orc clan that would be unlucky. For the sake of the entire race, Lexa couldn't do anything to Leo, and Thrall wouldn't allow him to do that.
Seeing Lexa's angry expression in his eyes, as if he didn't think he had enough stimulation for the other party, Leo sighed and admired: "Oh, I forgot, Lexa, you've done so much recently, and even the door of darkness has been opened by you." I just don't know what Manolos' appearance has to do with you, you see, the time of the appearance of the saboteur is too coincidental, so coincidental, so coincidental that people can't believe it, can you answer my question? ”
Is this guy here to frame him?
Lexa's teeth were clenched, and he was trying his best to contain the anger in his chest, not allowing himself to turn his anger into action, because he knew that Leo was deliberately provoking himself, and it was clear that he wanted to provoke him to make a move, and he couldn't let him get his wish, otherwise he would really jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it away.
Hitting a person to torture him from the ** is nothing, hitting him mentally, making him exhausted, making him angry but helpless, this is really cool.
Leo pouted at Lexa with a look of disdain, the look of hatred that Lexa really wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, the orc hero had never been humiliated like this since he could remember.
Bear with me, Lexa, I don't think you dare do it.
Leo chuckled, the laughter clearly conveyed such a message, Lexa's chest rose and fell rapidly, but he stubbornly held on to the last trace of clarity in his mind, and endured it patiently without moving.
It's a pity that the target of this taunt is Lexa, if it is replaced by Carlos. Hell roars at that guy whose brain is full of muscles, and it's perfect.
Leo thought with regret.
Someone was arrogant in his chieftain's hall, and it was impossible for Thrall to remain indifferent, so he interrupted Leo's action to continue to stimulate Lexa, and asked, "Leo, you are a human messenger, what is the matter with your visit to Orgrimmar this time?" ”
Leo shrugged his shoulders, Sal was pretending to be confused, as a human messenger, he came to Orgrimmar at this time, why everyone knows, but there must be an opening to talk about things, right?
Speaking of business, Leo immediately put away his hangy appearance and said solemnly: "Chief Thrall, I am here to express the concern of the Terrans about the opening of the Dark Gate. ”
Just a concern?
No one will believe this to a child.
Lexa's lips moved, and he forcibly endured, Leo was talking to Thrall, and it was a bit rude for him to suddenly interject, although the orcs didn't care too much about etiquette, but Lexa didn't want to take the initiative to send an excuse for Leo to ridicule him.
Thrall thought differently from Lexa, and when he learned that the messenger sent by the humans was Leo, he was relieved.
It is true that Leo came to Orgrimmar as a human emissary to deal with more difficult than the others, but Thrall clearly saw that the humans were unwilling to go to war with the orcs at this time.
Don't wonder why Thrall thinks so, just imagine, if humans send a nobleman to Orgrimmar at random, this person really can't suppress the grumpy orc, can't ask for the benefits he can get, and can't make the orcs make greater concessions, but the problem is that this human messenger came to Orgrimmar does not mean that humans really want to negotiate with the orcs, there is a greater possibility - let this human messenger die in Orgrimmar, pour another basin of dirty water on the orc, so as to create the most direct pretext for declaring war.
Politics is dirty, and how could Thrall, the chief of the tribe, not understand that human politicians don't have any psychological burden to do such things.
If the Alliance sent not Leo but other nobles, it would be too easy to let this person die, but it would be completely different if it was Leo.
First of all, humans do not allow a demigod of the clan to be sacrificed; Secondly, it is too difficult to kill him with Leo's ability, and with Elisar's understanding of Leo, if anyone dares to fight this idea, Leo will definitely retaliate madly, and when the time comes, if the orcs don't do anything, the Terrans themselves will fight, as long as the high-level Terrans are not fools, they will never do that.
The purpose of the alliance is not to create a pretext for starting a war, so Leo is here to ask for benefits, and humans want to gain benefits from orcs without using swords.
Thrall was in his right mind, and he knew that in the current situation, if the orcs were too tough, it would easily be resented by all races, because it was no secret among the various races that Lexar gathered ogres to open the dark door in Stoned.
If you do something wrong, you have to have the courage to take on mistakes, and Thrall is not a person who does not take responsibility, from the fact that he knew that Lexa's operation failed, and the alliance used its strength to resolve this crisis, he immediately recalled Lexa from Stonerd to Orgrimmar, and he was ready to resist the responsibility of this incident and protect Lexa.
Since the opening of the Dark Gate failed to calculate the Overwatch and weaken the strength of the Alliance, Lexa must be saved, otherwise the strength of the Alliance has not been weakened, but the orcs themselves have lost their own strength, isn't it a joke?
Thrall said to Leo with a heavy face: "The opening of the Dark Gate is not good news, in order to make it easier for the Alliance's army to devote itself to the war against demons, we orcs will fully cooperate with you." ”
If you say this, you don't say it, what does it mean to fully cooperate, and is there a standard? If you don't rely on your mouth, you can't do what you don't get the benefit of.
Leo shrugged his shoulders, his face full of regret: "Your Excellency, Grand Chief, in order to make the soldiers of the Alliance more comfortable to participate in the battle on the front line, King Varian thinks that it is most appropriate for us humans to take over this place in the Swamp of Sorrows. ”
Ask for the Swamp of Sorrow, that's what Stormwind Kingdom is all about.
The Swamp of Sorrows is too close to the hinterland of the Stormwind Kingdom, and Stoneard echoes the Gromgau camp in the Valley of Thorns, which is a huge threat to Stormwind, and Varian is eager to get rid of it, and now that he has such a good opportunity, if he doesn't know how to use it, he can only use a stupid word to describe it.
Hearing Leo's words, Thrall secretly said in his heart Sure enough, he had long known that Varian would not let go of such a good opportunity, and the Stormwind Kingdom would definitely take this opportunity to take down Stonerd and control the Swamp of Sorrow in their hands, so that they would only have to defend against the threat from the Valley of Thorns.
The Valley of Thorns had previously begun to build a new city across the river in the ruins of Zukunda, and once completed, this new city would pose a great threat to the Gromgol camp, and it would not be as easy for the orcs to send troops from the Gromgao camp as it is now.
Remembering the city under construction on the ruins of Zukunda, Thrall couldn't help but think of Woking, who hadn't been to Orgrimmar for a while, and was busy in the Echo Islands, and the trolls of the city built on the ruins of Zukunda were also a part of the city that could not be ignored.
I'll have to find some time to talk to Woking and find out what he thinks.
Despite his trust in Woking, Sal also knows that personal friendships cannot stand the test of the race as a whole, and that both he and Woking are qualified leaders who will not be swayed by personal feelings when it comes to matters related to the rise or fall of the race.
Thrall knew that talking to Woke was the next thing to do, and now he was facing Leo, so he quickly put away his wandering thoughts and replied: "Stoneard's army has been withdrawn, there are not many inhabitants there, and the alliance can take it in three days." ”
Simply, resolutely...... Leo secretly praised in his heart, Thrall deserves to be Thrall, he knows that the Swamp of Sorrow cannot be saved, and the Alliance will definitely take advantage of it to gain control of it, and the orcs are not reasonable at this time, and their strength is insufficient, rather than forcing the Alliance to turn around and throw away the Swamp of Sorrow, it is better to do the act of the strong man breaking his wrist.
Isn't your Union going to grieve the swamp?
Well, I promise you!
But I promised so much, your alliance can't go too far, and you can't mention the matter of Lexa again, otherwise don't blame me for turning the other cheek.
Simply throw away the swamp of sorrow that will inevitably be lost, and keep the Lexar that can be saved, this is the exchange.
Leo didn't dwell too much on this matter, he knew before he came that there was no suspense about the belonging of this place in the Swamp of Sorrows, otherwise Thrall would not have let the army of the Swamp of Sorrows drive back to Orgrimmar in advance, the alliance got rid of the thorn in the side of Stonerd, the orcs kept Lexa, and both sides achieved their goal.
What is negotiation, negotiation is more than patience, negotiation is to put the demands out one by one, so after settling the belonging of Stoneard and the swamp of sorrow, Leo put forward the next demand of the alliance.
"Your Excellency the Great Chief, now that the demons led by Manolos occupy the camp of the Alliance Expeditionary Force in Northrend, and our warriors have nowhere to go, King Varian and Queen Scarlett are deeply concerned about this, and as an ally in the crusade against the Lich King, we hope that the Horde Expeditionary Force led by Salufar can help us."
Leo said it was a request, looking at his aura without a half-begging gesture at all, he was clearly making a request, and Sal understood that the second condition of the alliance had come.
"In light of this lesson, the nobles of the kingdom agree that the warriors of the Alliance need a fortress strong enough to be prepared for any unexpected eventuality, and Utgard Castle, which is located in the same Avenger camp as the Horde Expeditionary Force, is a perfect fit for our needs."
