where to go 2
What I should have been talking about, but after Illidan's insertion, my confidence was hit again. Yes, the strength I have now possessed is no longer in front of Sar and Malfurion. Illidan's discussion just now made me lose the moral commanding heights, so I could hardly put forward any opinions that would convince everyone in the following discussion. For example, giving up some land to gain a foothold. But this alone was indirectly denied by Malfurion and Saar.
"North of the Stone Claw Mountain and the Waterless Mountains are the inherent territory of our night elves, and south of this is the land of the Taurus and Centaurs, and the trolls. If you want, we can leave our land near our dividing line first." Malfurion took out the map and explained to me, and by just hearing these names, I knew this was a place of poor mountains and bad waters.
"Damn it, can you give me some good places? I looked at the map and found a better place. I think the Razor Ridge is good, and it is not the main gathering place for the Taurus Trolls."
"Sorry, Alsace, I think my people are already stationed there," Thrall explained. "Although there are no night elf residents there, it is a place where most of them are ogres."
"Ogre, that's not your Draenor creature, how could it be in our world?" I used this same sarcastic orc statement to question Thrall's reply, but then I was slapped in the face by the night elves.
"No, when some ogres stepped into the endless sea, some ogres broke away from his and Gugal's rule, and led by Kaoge to settle there. Later, when the orcs, the leader of the orcs, the black-handed brothers of the Destruction Hammer Sect surrounded Guldan, a lot of ogres were dispersed and came here."
Malfurio explained, and the ogre leader behind Thrall also nodded in agreement with his statement and expressed their opinions. I remember he was the huge ogre named Kaoge, a guy who could deal with a great Hellfire and the Doomsday Guard at the same time.
"I like orcs, but I don't welcome humans." The ogre explained, yes, this creature that doesn't pass through the brain makes me feel very angry when I speak.
"Okay!" I suppressed my inner thoughts. Yes, I knew that if I showed anger, the people behind me would be more likely to turn against them completely. With our current strength, doing so would be like suicide. But that's nothing. What's even more angry is that even if Malfurion had promised us to Shizha Mountain, the Taurus, who is the other landlord of this continent, did not buy it. They did not mean to cede any disputed land to us.
So I turned my eyes to the Taurus leader named Bloodhoof. The strong Taurus standing beside Thrall. Yes, I remember that their clan is a peace-loving clan, and he should have been slow to react.
"I want to go to the south to establish my own base. Can you give me some advice?"
"If the Dust Sludge Swamp can't accommodate you humans, I think I really have no place to do it."
The Taurus said yes, his words were straightforward and fluent, not because I thought they were slow to react. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that he is very aggressive to me. I still restrained a lot of this. Yes, there must be his reasons, and Jaina explained to me.
"My father had already planned to place the residents of Lordaeron who followed him. Although it was desolate, the land was very suitable for growing crops."
Please understand your own situation and speak. Bloodhoe continued to educate me. Yes, I don’t know where he got such a big resentment to me, but I really can’t care about him so much.
"Very good, I don't think I have anything to fight for. If possible, I think that's our place." I was still a little relieved when I heard this. Yes, if there are the residents who have left alone, I still have some capital. And with the help of Delin and Kultilas, at least we can still have a place in this continent.
My statement was not approved by others, and of course it was not criticized. After all, we have paid so much, so it is impossible for them not to give me a piece of land to live in.
I saw that the location was still very close to the sea, which helped us connect with Stormwind City and Kurtiras, and Iron Fortress. And according to the description of the Kalimdo Continental Scroll displayed by Malfurio, the Island of Theramo in the bathing east should be a good natural fortress.
In this way, the dusty swamp area belongs to us. Perhaps Bloodhoof knew that place was a good place, so he thought that we should not be greedy for other lands after we got it. Or he had heard that I had been alone and annexed the lands of other countries before, so he was uneasy about my appearance here. Who knows, but I am very sure that the Night Elf and Thrall's tribe would definitely not help me build my home. Because after Thrall made similar suggestions, he was directly rejected by Malfurion, and the reason was very simple, that the Night Elf's craftsmen and building materials had to rebuild their damaged buildings.
After finding the few winter foods and seeds for the coming year from Malfurion, he stopped fighting for anything, or he couldn't win at all. Thrall also tried to get more from the night elves, such as food and wood, but obviously these discussions are not clear in one sentence or two.
To put it a little off topic, I was surprised by their performance. For example, Thrall, at this moment, is no longer the orc slave of Dernholder back then. He is a qualified leader now, and Malfurion, although he is the same as he expected, I think he should be more kind. Perhaps it is because they represent the interests of their own race behind them. Or, as Illidan said, their race really pays a lot?
But behind these voices is all about their own strength. Looking at the people behind me, I feel that I can no longer go along with them. The issues they discussed about territorial divisions that they discussed next have long been separated from the scope of my discussion. It is time to end the discussion I should have and return to my people to see what the remaining army is doing now.
But after all, I belong to one force, so I can only stand between them. This will help me get more benefits from it. I thought wishfully, but the reality is that I didn’t get anything, but wasted the whole night as a foil here.
As soon as Chu Xiao was approaching, I really didn't want to continue, and I signaled my intentions to Jaina, and after saying a very brief farewell to the two forces of Salma Falio, the commander of our alliance left here and returned to the assembly place of our humans.
I saw a scene that was worse than I expected at our destination. The military camp originally thought it was just the woods and a simple group of night elves. During this period, there were a large number of wounded and used supplies. The painful shouts and the crowds that rushed to rescue made the place look messy. The fishy smell of blood and some garbage that could not be cleaned in time made it look more like a dirty and messy slaughterhouse. Compared to when I joined the coalition in the disguise of a red dragon, my soldiers had already lost more than three quarters. Maybe not only that. It is said that when I first arrived, our troops had already lost more than half.
In other words, we are only one-tenth of the troops who have just arrived. And most of the remaining living people are injured. But this is not what makes me most sad. What makes me sad the most is that my mage army, my most elite guards and the silver hand, have only less than twenty people left. This completely shows that our Lordaeron's main force has been completely lost.
Everyone was also very excited to see me appear, and they surrounded me and showed some excitement, but they were all sad, especially when a young wounded asked me a question.
"My king, the demon has been eliminated. Can we return to Lordaeron?"
"As long as there is our people, it is Lordaeron, the child." I can't say anything else. Looking at his somewhat disappointed eyes, I know that these disappointments exist in everyone's hearts, but compared to those who are not good at disguise, such as ogres, we can hide our hearts more.
Of course, even this cannot stop me from expressing this strong desire to return to my hometown: "We must accumulate strength, but I promise that we will be able to return to our hometown for twenty years, ten years, or less. Just as I promised to you at that time, we can defeat the demons and save our world, and I do what I say."
My voice kept everyone silent for a long time. Maybe I should think that this moment was no longer the scene where we swore to come here, or in layman's terms, we were no longer the power we had at that time... Or to be honest, everyone already doubted my promise to them this time. However, everyone still showed support for me, or they could only continue to support me, and there was no way.
Thinking of this, maybe I was wrong. After all the residents who have experienced such difficulties came out, they seemed to have great confidence in me, even if this may not seem realistic at all.
"We believe in you, my king." Some voices came out, and soon other voices were shouted out. While moved, I also deeply felt the pressure I was carrying in an instant. Yes, with only these powers, it took ten years without a generation to regain the homeland occupied by the thriving natural disasters of the undead.
I didn't continue to consider this unconsiderable issue, but instead went to Mana, Jaina and others to use their own identity as Paladins or ambulances to treat the wounded. Yes, after being favored by the Holy Light again, I found that I had not returned to the original power, perhaps because I was unfamiliar, but in my heart, I had already agreed that the Holy Light was not sacred, or after I was abandoned by the Holy Light and Archmond could better master the Holy Light, I was already disappointed with this thing. In other words, I regarded it as a practical power, such as healing the trauma of the people's current mind and physical trauma.
However, when it comes to treatment, the priestess of the moon is better at this aspect. There are many of them here, but if we want to restore the health of our soldiers faster, we obviously need them more, so an idea arises, especially when I discovered something...
"Thank you for your assistance, priestesses, but we may need more strength here," I walked over and asked half-kneel to the highest level of the moon priestess. Yes, I know that the moon priestess should be more kind and regardless of reward than the politicians who divide the so-called fruits of victory.
"I'm sorry." They also made the same move, but they felt very embarrassed about my request. "We are mostly directly belonging to Mavi's priestess..."
She wanted to say something, but for me there was no need to say anything more. Yes, Mavi and me experiences made everyone realize that I was favored by this elf lord. And I seem to understand why Wenleza valued Ronin at that time: If an elf has already paid so much for him and what he did is meaningful, it is worth paying more for him. Maybe, but why? What made her pay so much for me? If I used to be a prince, then I really have nothing left now, and my actual status is no longer as good as her as a night elf lord.
"I get it. I am very grateful to Mavie for his help, but I hope she can continue to help me and my people. Perhaps nothing needs her help more than now." I said a little discouraged...
"I will convey it, His Highness Arthas," the priestess explained, and also explained their difficulties. "But I still want to remind you privately that our leader Mavie is the second only to Archbishop Tyrande among us night elves. Her efforts to you may be criticized by our tribe, so..."
"I understand, then I'll take back my words and just convey my gratitude to me, or forget it, just pretend I haven't found you."
I immediately left and returned to my post. Yes, I naturally didn't want to have any negative impact on her because of me. And I recalled her performance last night, and obviously she also realized the concerns she should have as a night elf lord. It must be like this, but... I felt very unwilling to accept this, and this unwillingness also greatly affected my work efficiency and the concentration of my patients in dealing with them.
Soon Jaina noticed my fluctuations and discovered my thinking based on what I had just shown. So she pushed me away to a place where no one was.
"Are you thinking about Mavi?" Jaina asked me immediately. In this regard, I had known what she said, and took it for granted that I had already confirmed my own understanding.
"Yes, maybe I shouldn't have had such delusions. We are not the same as her. I will let her down."
"Yeah?"
My answer obviously did not make her agree, so I continued to explain what I thought was reality, but it was also at this time that Jaina's background also made me realize the real reality...
"She is a night elf and a lord. To put it nicely, she is just a prince without a home, and to put it ugly, she is a mountain king who has painted a big cake for her people."
"I am also the princess of Kurtiras, the only heir, and the strength of our country is not worse than that of the lord Mavie. Why don't you say in front of me that your status is to let me down?"
"We are not a political marriage. We have experienced so much. Can I explain my tacit understanding of you?!"
"But who would doubt the tacit understanding between you two on the battlefield?" Jaina's explanation surprised me a little. Yes, I realized my truest needs at this time. If Jaina thought so too... "Now she has paid so much to you, she can't take it back, and you can't afford it!"
"Gianna!"
"Nothing our people needs Mavie and their help than now. Not to mention her status, we also need such talents to help you revive Lordaeron. The generals you trained, the magicians you trained in the past, and the silver hand left to you by your father have disappeared. You must win her both publicly and privately, and her confidants can come to make me more convinced that she will follow you like me."
"Yes. I understand that I will ask for her opinions in private. But I don't want to affect her reputation and status. Of course, this time I am definitely not greedy for the property she has accumulated." I said to Jaina silently. Yes, when I said this, it came from my heart without reservation, and this also fully revealed some of my thoughts, such as: When I was fighting for Jaina, I also included some of my peeping of Kurtiras and my possession of the Rangers Guard among Sylvanas. Of course, it is not only that, but my statement also revealed my simple love and wish for Mavie in front of Jaina.
"That's right!" Jaina couldn't help but shed tears in the corner of her eyes when she heard this. At this time, I realized what I had revealed to Jaina while speaking, but what else can I say can only be to embrace it in my arms and enjoy the original and most longed for dependence and trust.
