Azeroth’s Death Track

Chapter 130 32. New Era [1100]

On the afternoon of the second day after Orgrim's trial ended, in the solemn chamber of Lordaeron's court, leaders and representatives from the Human Alliance and other kingdoms sat together.

The atmosphere among the kings was a bit weird, and there was still a trace of gunpowder. Obviously, the previous discussions did not seem to be going well.

The host, Terenas Menethil, who was sitting on the main seat, was a little tired. After all, he was already an old man, and the long disputes and discussions had exhausted his spirit. After enjoying an exquisite afternoon tea, The kings gathered again, and this time, the decisions between them would directly affect the fate of tens of thousands of captured orcs.

I know there are arguments between us, and I also know that it's impossible for everyone to agree to one approach.

The old king changed his tone and was no longer aggressive. He acted like an old man who stayed out of the matter and assumed the role of referee. This change of role made the other kings look bad.

Except for the little king Varian who was still a little ignorant, the other kings knew what Terenas's change of attitude meant.

He and his Lordaeron, by virtue of their performance in the war, have become the absolute leaders in the alliance, which makes other kings very dissatisfied, but in the game of thrones, at least on the surface, these nobles still maintain mutual respect. There are etiquette.

But the rebuilding of the Stormwind Kingdom is imminent. We can't take the risk of leaving those orc captives in the southern part of the mainland.

King Terenas narrowed his eyes, tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand, and said in a concluding speech:

There are still some tribes left in Blackrock Spire, Wetlands and Stranglethorn Vale. We need to separate them, so we don't have much time and reason for us. Therefore, I propose to vote now... on how to deal with the orc captives.

The old king's eyes swept across the crowd in front of him. Dailin's expression was ugly, Solas's expression was soothing, Greymane's expression was very flat, and Prince Kael'thas, the representative from Quel'Thalas, kept his expression the same. A gentle smile, from time to time discussing some magical insights in a low voice with Master Antonidas beside him.

As for the dwarf representing Prince Muradin, he was drunk without restraint under the abundant supply of fine wine.

As for Varian Wrynn, who was brought up by the old king, the little king of the Stormwind Kingdom frowned. Obviously, he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

All this fell into the eyes of the old king. He waited for a moment, and then said:

Kul Tiras and Stormgard believe that all the orc captives should be executed to prevent future troubles. It has to be said that this is a cruel but efficient method of disposal, and such a disposal will be very easy. Appease the resentment in the hearts of the people, and everyone who agrees with this approach, please raise your hand!

swish

Dai Lin raised her hand first, the admiral was well known in the alliance for his dislike of orcs.

Then there was King Solas of the Kingdom of Stormgard. He raised his hand shyly. The forces of Stromgarde also suffered heavy losses in the orc invasion. In his opinion, keeping the orcs is a disaster.

The third person who raised his hand was King Gene Greymane of Gilneas. The reason why the king wanted to execute the orcs was very simple. Quickly resume business transactions.

Other than that, no one raised their hands.

The old king's expression remained unchanged, and the record officer beside him quickly took down the result, then the old king coughed lightly, and said:

Lordaeron does not agree to execute all the orcs. We are a human alliance. We are more civilized and noble than the orcs. If we kill tens of thousands of captives without any explanation, what is the difference between us and the brutal orcs? According to Bishop Fao, he believes that these losers should be given a chance to redeem themselves.

Holy light is fraternal.

Speaking of high-sounding words, the old king raised his hand.

His starting point was not just so benevolent. After the war, Lordaeron was left to waste. Restoring order required a lot of manpower. Orc captives in shackles were the most suitable for those dangerous coolies.

The magic system used by the orcs is completely different from that of Azeroth. This represents another power that we have not discovered. Dalaran believes that we should learn this power to make us stronger.

Archmage Antonidas explained the significance of keeping orc captives from another aspect. While raising his hand, he said:

Coupled with the return of Master Khadgar, there are still many orcs left in Draenor. In order to cope with possible future wars, we must learn from each other's strengths and obtain strategic information in advance. Therefore, Dalaran believes that we should keep The next part of the orcs, not all kill!

This is also the opinion of Quel'Thalas!

The handsome Prince Kael'thas said something briefly, and also raised his hand.

The mines of Ironforge need more miners!

The dwarves don't have so many tricks, so the drunk Prince Muradin expressed his thoughts carelessly, and then raised his hand.

King Magni really has a big heart. Has he forgotten the brutality of the orcs in Khaz Modan?

King Greymane said something in a low voice, and Muradin smiled and waved his hand, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes:

Put the orcs in shackles, shackles, and put a musket against their heads. They are the best workers. Instead of killing them, let them atone for their sins at work, and create more value!

The current scene was 3:4, and there was still a king present who did not speak, so everyone turned their attention to Varian Wrynn.

The 17-year-old little king had a headache when he saw this scene, but in the end, he stood up, took a deep breath, and said to the other kings and nobles:

My father Ryan Wrynn died at the hands of orc assassins.

Varian organized the language, and he whispered:

Speaking of hatred, there should be no one here who hates orcs more than me, but... But I have been thinking, if it is my father sitting here today, or Marshal Lothar, who I respect as a father, they will what kind of decision to make.

The little king's tone choked up, and the kings present also fell silent. The death of Ryan Wrynn made Varian lose his father, and the disappearance of Lothar made the young man lose his support. For him, it was a little too cruel.

But at the next moment, Varian raised his head, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. Under the gaze of the kings, the little king gritted his teeth and said loudly:

Marshal Lothar told me before he left.

For the world, peace is a lofty and great goal, but it is also the same for individuals. His Majesty Terenas has always taught me to be a qualified king. I know that a king cannot make a decision by relying on By personal will, I should be the representative of the displaced people of the Stormwind Kingdom.

This war has been too long. Everyone is longing for peace. Let peace come. Don't let our people get blood on their hands. We have shed enough blood...

Varian clenched his fists like a real young man, his emotions got a little out of control, and his voice became hoarse.

Orgrim, who was unwilling to fail, said that he would expect the alliance to disintegrate and the fire of our civilization to be extinguished. Let us tell him the truth! He is the one who is really cowardly, and he is the one who dare not open his arms to embrace peace ...true cowards who brandish weapons and bring others to their knees, but we are not!

We are the alliance! We guard our people! Everything we insist on is greater than his brutal war! We defeated the orcs, and if they dare to come, we will win! We are not the same as those butchers!

Therefore, I agree with His Majesty Terenas, if those orcs are still alive after the war, let them continue to live.

Varian raised his left hand, tears flowed wantonly on his face, he gritted his teeth:

Let them continue to live as prisoners with no honor and crimes!

This remark is not outstanding, even a little confusing and illogical. If it was said by a certain old king, it would definitely make others despise it, but it was said from Varian's mouth, and He is only 17 years old this year, and he still bears a blood feud with the orcs.

All this is enough to impress anyone, even proud elves and dwarves...

My disciple, today, you really make me feel proud!

Prince Muradin, who was Varian's swordsmanship instructor, stood on a chair and was the first to applaud Varian's speech. The dwarf's eyes were clear, and there was no sign of drunkenness. The second one stood up and applauded Kyle. Prince Sass, this handsome prince made no secret of his admiration for Varian.

You'll make a great king! I never doubted that, boy.

King Terenas stood up, went to the weeping Varian, hugged him like a father, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered:

If Alsace can be as good as you in the future, it will definitely be the grace of the Holy Light.

So amid Varian's silent cries and the kings' sincere or false applause, the future fate of the orc captives was decided, but the meeting did not end.

After Ironforge, Quel'Thalas, and Varian Wrynn, who was about to return to the Kingdom of Stormwind, left, the remaining kings began to discuss another matter, and the atmosphere became heated at this moment. Obviously, this is something that is in everyone's interest.

The topic of the meeting was: How to deal with the traitors of the alliance, Aiden Perenolde, the traitor who almost sent the alliance to death, and his kingdom of Alterac...

Perhaps because of his noble blood, King Perenolde would not be executed, but there is no doubt that after the terrible act of betrayal, the kingdom of Alterac could not escape the reckoning after the war unscathed.

This country will inevitably be divided up by the covetous former allies, not only for strategic considerations, but also to complement each other's interests, just like sharing a cake. Laran sent a special negotiator to claim his part of the benefits.

I think it's the most appropriate way to deal with Zul'red Island and the nearby waters in Alterac to be managed by Kul Tiras!

The negotiator of Kul Tiras pointed to the map on the table and said in a serious voice:

With these few islands, the sea area of ​​the alliance will be completely connected. For example, the invasion of the tribe this time will be directly attacked by the navy at the first time!

Villages in hilly areas have been almost completely destroyed, and reconstruction will inevitably consume a lot of material resources!

The representative of the Kingdom of Stormgard, General Danas coughed lightly: I suggest that those orcs be placed here as a public resource, not far from several countries...

Alterac Valley has many rare resources that Dalaran needs...

There is also the southern area of ​​Silverpine Forest, which is very close to Gilneas, and we plan to establish a new frontier here.

Tarren Mill and Southshore...

This naked division of interests certainly cannot be dealt with directly by the kings, as it would be impolite, so the specific division will be carried out by the representatives, and the kings only need to sit in the sun and drink tea.

The old king entertained the kings on the balcony of the palace, leaning on his cane, and said softly:

There is one thing, I want to remind everyone that Aiden is still sitting on his own throne, which is unreasonable. I decided to remove Aiden's jurisdiction over Alterac in the name of the alliance recently. .”

All the kings nodded. There is no problem with this disposal. Dai Lin took a sip of tea and asked:

Then who will be in power? Aiden's son?

No!

King Terenas narrowed his eyes:

There is a very suitable candidate for the ruling, a very energetic and prestigious nobleman who cares about the interests of the alliance. His name is...Darval Prestor. He is a gentleman who makes people feel good.

During the time when the orcs besieged the city, he was stranded in Lordaeron. He was different from those timid nobles. He fully supported our war against the orcs, and he generously donated money and encouraged the soldiers. To be honest, I even They are planning to marry my daughter to him.

Oh? Such an outstanding person?

Dai Lin became interested, and he stroked his beard: He's in Alterac?

He will come to Lordaeron soon. At that time, I will introduce him to everyone. Believe me, we will rest assured that Alterac will be temporarily governed by him. When business is settled...ah, a new age of peace, as the Varian child said.

May the dawn of a new era of peace shine on this land forever.
