Chapter 1163 Divide the spoils and grab the land
The group hurriedly walked into the conference room, and the guards guarding the door of the conference room did not dare to step forward to stop them after seeing this group of people, who let this group include Varian, Jean, Magni and all the alliance leaders?
In the hall, Leo, Scarlett, Lagrol and Kael'thas were sitting in their seats waiting for everyone to arrive, and in the middle of the conference room a magical map was floating, judging from the content of the map, it was the topographic map of the Eastern Continent.
Varian was so grumpy that he asked before he could take his seat: "Leo, are you in a hurry to find out if we are Brian. Copperbeard has news? ”
The most worrying thing now is the situation of Ulduar, the Titan-built prison where the ancient god Yogsaron is imprisoned, and if something goes wrong, no one can stay out of it. What puzzled Varian was that if Brian. Copperbeard did find something abnormal, and the first to get the news should have been Magni. Copperbeard and Kadros. The Brute Hammer is right.
In this way, Leo asked everyone to hurry to the conference room not because of Brian's news, but because there was something else.
Thinking of this, Varian knew that he was too anxious to speak before he could figure out what was going on, which was really not appropriate.
Just as Varian thought, Leo waved his hand, motioning for everyone to take a seat, and said: "Brian has no news yet, excavating the ruins of the Titan is not a simple matter after all, we can't help much in this regard, we can only wait patiently." I've brought you here today for another thing. ””
Leo said as he pointed to the magical map of the Eastern Continent in the conference room, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and the Dark City came into view.
Leo pointed to the Undercity, could it be that he was planning to do something to the Forsaken?
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and with the relationship between the Kingdom of Arathas and the Forsaken, it was not surprising that Leo wanted to fight this tribal race that had once breached Riptide Castle.
Previously, Leo and Kael'thas had helped Sylvanas to persuade the others not to stop the army of the Forsaken from entering Icecrown, but the two of them turned around and started the idea of the Undercity, which surprised everyone.
Varian and the others had a look on their faces, no wonder Leo and Kael'thas would support Sylvanas in transferring the army of the Forsaken to Icecrown, it turned out that they were fighting this idea.
What else could Sylvanas do when the Forsaken's army arrived in Northrend to destroy the remnants of the Scourge and quickly dispatched troops to take the Undercity and destroy the main city of the Forsaken?
In addition to taking root in Northrend first, what else can she do if she has no stronghold in the Eastern Continent?
In this way, the power of the Forsaken has been driven out of the Eastern Continent, and the Horde's control over the Eastern Continent is almost non-existent, if Leo's plan can succeed, without the Forsaken's containment, it will be much easier for the Alliance to deal with the Frostwolf Clan who are fighting with the Thunderspear Dwarves in the Alterac Mountains.
Before Varian and Jean could say anything, Magni and Kadros's eyes lit up. Obviously, the two dwarven leaders had thought of this, after all, the Thunderspear tribe was the same dwarven clan as them, and if there was an opportunity to help their fellow dwarves, Magni and Kaderos would not refuse.
Especially Cardros, the Eagle's Nest Mountain, where the Hammer Dwarves are located, is next to Alterac, and now that the Hammer Clan has officially joined the Alliance, it can remove the Frostwolf Clan and the Forsaken who are threatening to him on his side, and Cardros welcomes it with both hands.
The reason why Jean and Arthas didn't talk was not that they didn't think about it, but that they had more to think about.
The territory of the Forsaken borders the kingdom of Arasuo, and this time the matter is led by Arasuo, looking at Leo's appearance, most of them have been prepared, if the Forsaken are destroyed, then whose territory is the down?
Is it Araso's?
If such a large territory is acquired by the Kingdom of Araso, won't their territory be directly doubled?
To be honest, Varian and Jean are not happy to see the strength of the Kingdom of Aratao swelled too much, there was originally a Leo Araso who was already gradually dominating the discourse of mankind, if it weren't for Araso's repeated wars and weak national strength, the Kingdom of Stormwind and Gilneth would have become its little brothers, and if the territory of the Forsaken was obtained by Arasuo, this defect would be made up in a very short time, and Alatho, who has a vast territory, would soon become the boss of the human race.
Varian and Jean are both heads of a country, and they are the ones with strong surnames, and they don't want to be subservient. Besides, a large part of the territory that the Forsaken now occupies is the former territory of the Kingdom of Gilneth, which Jean has been looking for an opportunity to get back, and naturally it is impossible to give it to Alatho.
From the standpoint of the Terrans and the Alliance, Varian and Jean are definitely loyal allies of the Kingdom of Arathus, but within the race, there is still competition between the three, and it is this competition that makes Varian and Jean hesitate.
As soon as Leo looked at Varian's expression, he knew that these people wanted to be crooked, which was not surprising, if he didn't know that Leo and Sylvana had already made an agreement, he really couldn't think of the mystery inside, after all, Varian They didn't know Sylvanas's thoughts, and they wouldn't spend energy paying attention to the movements of the Forsaken Queen. None of them thought about the future of the Forsaken after completing their revenge on the Scourge Legion.
Of course, Varian and the others are not obligated to think about the future of the Forsaken, because they are not Sylvanas.
"Don't be suspicious, for I have made a pact with Sylvanas that the Forsaken will move into Northrend, and we the living promise not to trouble them again. Unlike the Icecap, where we don't set foot unless we have to, the Forsaken don't need to eat, they don't feel the cold, and the harsh nature of the land has little impact on them. ”
Leo told the truth of the matter, lest Varian and his speculation lead to some unpleasant misunderstanding.
"It must be noted that after the revenge of the undead scourge, the Forsaken have lost the pillars that have supported them all along, and without the object of hatred, they will soon fall into confusion, if there is any friction between the Alliance and them at this time, out of the hatred of the dead for the living, what will happen?"
At this, Leo shrugged.
Needless to say, what will happen is clear to others, after the loss of the Scourge Legion as a target of revenge, the confused Forsaken will be dominated by hatred for the living, and they will frantically attack the living creatures, so that the conflict between the Alliance and the Forsaken will quickly intensify, and the probability of war between the two sides is 100%.
It is conceivable that if the Alliance officially goes to war with the Forsaken, the orc main battle faction that has been clamoring for the destruction of humanity will not make a fuss? Under the surging emotions, Thrall may not be able to suppress it, and then the war will escalate into a war between the two camps of the Horde and the Alliance.
"I personally have little interest in internal wars, and in my opinion the elimination of external threats like the Burning Legion is the most important thing." Leo cocked up his index finger and shook it, "So, I don't want to see something like that happen." Luckily, Sylvanas had thought of this, and she didn't want the Forsaken to become an abominable being like the Scourge Legion, so we had a basis for consensus. ”
Jean and Varian glanced at each other, Leo's words were not their primary concern, in their opinion, whether it was peace negotiations or armed struggles, they would eventually need to face a problem - what to do with the territory of the Forsaken?
How could Leo ignore such an important question, only to see that he made a small circle on the magic map, and this small circle just circled Hillsbrad inside.
"The hills of Hillsbrad are close to Alatho, this place cannot be left unmanaged, and the army of Fort Riptide will enter it to maintain order in the area after the Forsaken exit."
The subtext of this is that Hillsbrad is Arasah's favorite territory, and this place Arassol wants.
Jean and Varian breathed a sigh of relief, Leo didn't mean to eat the entire Forsaken's territory in one bite, and things were much easier. Although getting Hillsbrad greatly increased the strength of the Kingdom of Araso, it did not touch Varian's bottom line. What's more, in Hillsbrad's current situation, the hand of the Kingdom of Alaso has already reached in, and others can't compete with them.
Seeing Leo's expression, Jean took over the conversation before the others: "Silverpine Forest was originally the place of the Gilneth people, and now is the time for it to return to Gilness." ”
If it weren't for the current situation in the Kingdom of Gilneth that didn't allow it, Jean would have wanted to eat Tirisfa.
Of course, he also thought about it, after the Forsaken's territory was in Hillsbrad and the Silverpine Forest, there was only one Tirisfa, and it was impossible for Varian and other Alliance leaders to benefit nothing.
"The Alliance is dealing with the East and West Plague Lands, and I think these two places will be enough for you to work for a long time, and Tirisfa will be governed by the Blood Elves and the Alliance."
Kael'thas interjected at this time, and when he heard the Blood Elf Prince say this, Varian Magni and the others all frowned, and the Blood Elves were also going to take part in this matter?
No, Kael'thas is talking about elves, is there a shadow of the Night Elves in it?
Several alliance leaders kept exchanging glances, wondering if there was any inside story in it.
When the others were shocked, Scarlett said, "Prince Kael'thas has a good proposal, I agree." However, Tirisfa is the territory of mankind after all, and its ownership lies with humanity. ”
"Of course, Tirisfa is human territory, and we blood elves have no ambitions there, don't worry. I hope that if the territory is returned to humans in the future, we elves and people with elven blood will have enough say in the future. ”
As soon as Kael'thas said this, Varian and the others immediately looked at Leo with clear eyes, the reason why the blood elves intervened in Tirysfa was obviously invited by Arasuo, to be precise, at Leo's request. Varian and the others will not forget that the elf Vorsel was pregnant with Leo's child.
In this way, the human demigod is paving the way for his unborn child, but Tirisfa is now a borderland, and it is unreasonable for Leo to take it like this, what leverage will Leo use in exchange for their consent?
