Azeroth’s Death Track

Which king would be hurt the most by the rebuilding of the Arathor Empire?

The answer is undoubtedly Lordaeron. As the most powerful country in the current human alliance, once it is designated as the territory ruled by the empire, the authority of the Kingdom of Lordaeron will be severely challenged, and its transcendent status will slip to the next level. on an equal footing with the other kingdoms.

And for King Terenas Menethil, this means that those kings who were once severely suppressed by him will have new and very effective ways to check and balance him.

If human beings have a common emperor, in the daily affairs, the kings can ignore the emperor's orders and play their own games, but once the country enters a state of emergency, then the emperor has absolute majesty to intervene in the affairs of various countries. Unify the command of the human army and completely twist the seven kingdoms into one rope.

So don't the other kings worry that the future human emperor will restrain them?

Of course they will be worried, but speaking, compared to the current situation within the alliance, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than it is now, so why not do it?

As long as King Terenas has a semblance of reason, he will not be willing to rebuild the Arathor Empire, but the problem now is that this is no longer a question of whether the old king is willing. Under the watchful eyes of all the great nobles of the alliance, As long as King Terenas dares to say I oppose the reconstruction of the empire, the image of the king he has devoted his life to establish will collapse in an instant.

Even his people would turn against him, and that would be a more terrible disaster.

Therefore, in many cases, criticizing others from the moral high ground is actually a very hegemonic behavior, because under the influence of various factors, the person being criticized cannot refute at all...especially the views on democracy, freedom ’, it makes the whole thing look ridiculous, like the worst kind of farce.

However, this does not mean that the old king, who has been on the battlefield of power for many years, will close his eyes and wait for death. He keenly grasped a very difficult matter to fight back.

That's about orcs and peace.

Sure enough, when this question was mentioned, the eyes of His Majesty Dai Lin, who was still swearing just now, suddenly lit up, while Lothar's brows were tightly frowned, and in front of the great nobles of the entire alliance, what should have been The private discussions of the kings were exposed, and King Terenas' intentions hardly need to be stated clearly.

However, Lothar was not unprepared. When the nobles began to whisper, he stood up and said to the other kings:

Okay, then let's settle this matter before the official founding ceremony!

Very well, my suggestion is, let's kill them all!

Dai Lin's sonorous voice sounded in the hall:

The Arathor Empire was rebuilt to protect our people, and the greatest enemy of mankind is the orcs. Those green skins have committed unforgivable sins in the past 10 years. They must use their own blood to wash away this sin. ! If you don’t want to, then I will do it myself!”

I support His Majesty Dai Lin!

Danas Trollbane stood up and shouted loudly:

No matter where the orcs exist, their hatred for humans will not be weakened even a little bit, and the same is true for us. This is a war between races, and the war will end only when one party completely falls. The orcs must die. !

I support it too!

Gathelis clenched his fists: I will never forget the scene of those orcs raging in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. It was a nightmare. We cannot let this kind of nightmare happen again!

I don't agree with this rough treatment!

The first person who objected was the Countess Katerina, as expected by everyone. This valiant and beautiful noble lady spoke eloquently in front of all the nobles. Her soft voice sounded in the hall:

The establishment of a shelter has been proven. This is a waste of the alliance's wealth, and it has not played the role we imagined at the beginning, and Mr. Lothar's proposal is very reasonable. I know that the soldiers' hatred for orcs is true. I am the same, but from the perspective of the people, what we need most now is not to continue the meaningless war, but to let the people recuperate.

King Varian also spoke:

Marshal Lothar said something very well. We were able to defeat the orcs before, so we can do the same now. The courage of human beings never lies in rejecting the peace in front of us. As nobles, we have to think about the long-term. Everyone, as humans Judging from the population base, we don't need to worry about the threat of orcs at all!

But you forgot at whose hands your father died!

Dailin scolded Varian angrily: You are blinded by the illusion of peace, and you forget who is the real enemy!

Your Majesty Dai Lin!

Duke Bolvar stood up and said indifferently: Please pay attention to your words!

And beside the Duke, Privy Bishop Chaldea Morgan, who represented the Holy Light Church of the Stormwind Kingdom, stood up and said softly:

Compassion is a virtue bestowed upon mankind by the Holy Light. We should not be afraid of orcs and cause our people to suffer losses. But what the two sides are arguing about is actually a very simple issue in my opinion. What His Majesty Dai Lin is worried about is the danger of the resurgence of orcs. , in that case, why not let the orcs show their sincerity again... I heard that when Orgrim came to negotiate, he brought four young orcs, representing the four clans.

The Chaldean priest brushed his fingers over the purple ritual dagger at his waist, and he said softly:

Then, why not keep them and some important figures of the orcs as hostages in the empire, I believe that if the orcs really want peace, then they will agree to this request! If they don't agree, that means So, under the peace they offer, there is a greater ambition hidden!

—————————————

Not to mention the turmoil in human politics, in the central part of the mainland, in the snowy mountains of Khaz Modan, in the underground city Ironforge built by the Bronzebeard dwarves, a letter was sent to the mailbox of the famous Explorers Association inside.

The messenger was a dwarf dressed like an iron pot. His whole body exuded a cold aura, but when he walked around the large forge that extracted underground magma for forging, the rolling, visible hot air shrouded his body. around, people will not pay too much attention to this weird guy.

Speaking of the Association of Explorers, this organization originally originated from dwarves has become an international organization in this era. High elves who are very interested in antiquities and civilization, even some goblins who have mixed into this organization with malicious intentions, and even rare creatures from another continent.

The Association of Explorers was first established hundreds of years ago when Anvilmar, the king of the mountain, ruled the dwarf kingdom. The bold mountain king liked to dig. Under his leadership, many active dwarves began Various ruins were excavated across the continent.

There is a special impulse flowing in the blood of the dwarves. They always think that there is a reason for their birth, and they have a sacred mission, but because of some other reasons, they forget this mission. Therefore, the exploration In fact, the Orb Association also shoulders the responsibility of finding this kind of mission. Many of them will even travel between the three continents on the merchant ships of the goblins, specifically searching for cultural relics related to the history of the dwarves.

The current honorary president of the Explorers' Association is Brian Bronzebeard, who was born in the royal family of the Bronzebeard dwarves. He is the younger brother of the current dwarf king Magni Bronzebeard and the dwarf prince Muradin Bronzebeard.

Compared with his two elder brothers with very high military strength, Brian can be called powerless, but the whole dwarf's mind is very flexible. He likes to travel around since he was a child. After growing up, he left the royal family behind. He joined the Association of Explorers and has traveled almost all over the world so far. Not even the orc invasion could stop him from traveling around. The Barrens of Limdor excavating artifacts.

Brian! I have your letter!

The dwarf postman took out a large stack of letters from the mailbox, and the first letter was signed The Great Archaeologist Brian Bronzebeard. The dwarf's loud voice sounded in the noisy hall. Soon, a man in Out of the hall came a dwarf in traveler attire, with a wide-brimmed hat and a handsome orange beard.

Huh? My letter?

Brian looked at the envelope in his hand over and over again. The writing on it looked like it was written by an elf girl, full of a feminine feeling. The old dwarf grumbled and opened the letter casually. It was a letter The folded letter was densely filled with words, and even a hand-painted map was attached.

Dear old friend Brian Bronzebeard:

You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I am one of your friends. We have worked together for a long time and discovered many amazing secrets buried underground.

This opening made Brian's eyes widen. He was sure that the person who wrote this letter was definitely not his friend, because no one would use the three words dear to describe him, but it also made Brian Interested, he grabbed the letter and walked into his room. Under the light of the spar lamp, the old dwarf spread the letter and placed it on the table in front of him.

Then, let old Bryan see what idiot's prank is! After I find him, I will make Muradin kick his ass!

Brian continued to read the letter cursing, but the next paragraph caught his attention.

Too many amazing truths have been hidden for a long time, and the duty of you and me is to bring these buried truths to light. I always remember what you said, Even if I am buried in the sand I will be worth a thousand years, and I will be very valuable. Seriously, I appreciate your occasional straightforwardness, but today's letter is not to chat with you, but to talk about the mission you have been looking for .

Yes, dwarves are born with a sacred mission, and not only you, gnomes, humans also shoulder the same mission, I'm sorry I can't say too much, because I don't want to take away the joy of discovering the secret with your own hands, As a true friend, I will only tell you where to find it!

I remember that a few years ago, the Explorers' Association discovered an ancient ruin in a barren land not far from Loch Modan, but you have been digging for almost ten years, but you still haven't found the real secret room! Luckily Fortunately, when I was looking through some books from Karazhan recently, I found some clues, it is said that it is a relic left by a prehistoric civilization, and it is related to the most mysterious Titan in history.

Those legendary beings with the power of gods, why did they come to our world?

What did they do after they got here?

What does the birth of the dwarves have to do with these titans?

These questions, the questions that have troubled you for hundreds of years, can all be answered in that secret room... The map attached to the letter is a copy of my handwritten copy. I believe it can be found in the ruins of Uldaman. I will help you in the excavation, but before you go to that place, I want to remind you that what is hidden in that secret room is not only the truth, but also danger!

I sincerely hope that my friend, that is, you, Brian Bronzebeard, will bring a group of brave warriors with you before heading to the ruins of Uldaman, so as to ensure your personal safety at any time...but I believe in danger There is no way to stop you, as we once said, compared with the truth and history, personal safety is almost insignificant!

You don't need to doubt my sincerity. After you see the shining disk with your own eyes, you will know that I am definitely your best and most trustworthy friend. In my mind, there is There are many, many secrets about these Titans that I would love to share with you, but only if, my friend Brian, you prove that you are capable and entitled to see them!

——From Footman, your best friend, in Outland, Shadowmoonsea... Summer of Dark Portal 12.

Outland? Footman?

Brian threw his wide-brimmed hat aside in annoyance and grabbed his hair. He searched all his memories, but he couldn't find a place called Outland, let alone a place called Footman. Guy, but from this guy's letter, there is a very familiar feeling, which makes Bronzebeard very puzzled.

After a while, he picked up the hand-painted map. With Bronzebeard's professional eyes, he could tell at a glance that it was indeed the underground map of the ruins of Uldaman, an excavation site in the Badlands, but it was different from the map in the explorer's hand. The difference in the map is that in this hand-painted map, there are at least three more locations of secret rooms that the dwarves have not yet discovered.

Old Bronzebeard had excavated eighty if not a hundred relics, and he could feel that the location of the secret room described in this picture should be true.

Damn elf bitches! Don't let me find you!

Brian cursed, picked up his wide-brimmed hat from the ground, and looked at the orientation map in his hand. After a while, he gritted his teeth, turned and walked out of the room.

This ghost map is really ugly! I hope I won't make this trip in vain.

As he spoke, Brian trotted all the way to the King's Hall in Ironforge. He had to ask his brother for some guards before he set off. Old Bronzebeard still valued his life very much, and he was a willing Someone who accepts other people's opinions...well, maybe.

It seems that I miscalculated the ages of Varian and Arthas, especially Prince Arthas in the first few chapters. It was my typo. In the 12th year of the Dark Portal, he should be 16 years old instead of 8 years old. The VIP chapter changed It’s very troublesome, I’ll change it in the past few days~ Thank you reader for pointing out~
