"Is it finally here?"
Turayan's open call did not go beyond Sharlayan's expectations.
By comparing the chronological time provided by the barrage, in this timeline where Sarlayan is located, the Lordaeron Alliance collapsed earlier than other world netizens knew.
Terenas has always dreamed of integrating the various human kingdoms and making Lordaeron the second unified empire.
In order to realize this dream, he shamelessly swallowed the entire Kingdom of Alterac, leaving no broth for Gilneas and Stromgarde.
In addition, Terenas also attempted to use the orc shelter as an excuse to force other alliance members to share costs and weaken the strength of other countries.
In the original history, Gilneas, Stromgarde, and Kul Tiras did not fall out with Lordaeron so early, and reluctantly handed over the money while pinching their noses.
This is also a helpless move. If Terenas does not agree to his proposal, this shameless old guy will cut off trade with them.
The wealthy Kul Tiras is not afraid of this, but the already poor Stromgard cannot afford such economic sanctions, and Gilneas, whose national power is not as powerful as Lordaeron, is not ready to completely fall out with them. Prepare.
It was not until a few years later that the Greymane Wall of the Kingdom of Gilneas was completed and it had strong external defense capabilities that Genn Greymane, who could not bear it anymore, officially announced his withdrawal from the alliance.
Taking this as an opportunity, Stromgarde and Kul Tiras, who had been prepared for a long time, also withdrew one after another. The Lordaeron Alliance did not officially collapse until the 15th year of the Dark Portal.
In the world where Sarlayan lives, the actions of Sarlayan's family caused a series of butterfly effects.
With Sharlayan's inadvertent help, Kul Tiras was the first to establish a comprehensive strategic alliance with Quel'Thalas.
With Kul Tiras as an example, Gilneas and Stromgarde, who were extremely disgusted with Terenas, withdrew from the alliance without hesitation after reaching a trade cooperation with Quel'Thalas.
Terenas, who was full of confidence, shot himself in the foot.
You have to pretend to be awesome, even with tears in your eyes.
Most of the cost of establishing orc shelters and maintenance fell on the Kingdom of Lordaeron. As a result, Lordaeron, which had not yet fully digested Alterac, began to decline earlier than it originally had in history.
Without the support of the three major human kingdoms of Gilneas, Stromgarde, and Kul Tiras, the Alliance's army has inevitably shrunk.
Turayan's face naturally didn't look good when the orcs used a trick in front of him.
After the orcs fled back to Draenor, he immediately called on the Alliance soldiers from Nethergarde to pursue them through the Dark Portal.
However, due to insufficient manpower, the first batch of alliance expeditionary forces had more than enough ambition and lack of strength, so they could only set up a front-line fortress in the wasteland named Hellfire Peninsula.
Ordering Danath Trollbane, who had been exiled due to the struggle for the throne, to stay in Hellfire Peninsula, Turayan hurriedly returned to Azeroth with Alleria, Khadgar and others.
In the name of protecting the future of Azeroth, he openly recruited generals and soldiers from all countries in the Eastern Kingdom.
The aging Anasteria has long seen the true nature of Terenas and has no interest in playing games with this ambitious human king.
But the orcs had attacked the gates of Silvermoon City, causing Quel'Thalas to suffer a lot of humiliation. It was impossible to say that Anasteria didn't hate these rough barbarians who came to the city.
Considering that his governing philosophy was incompatible with today's new era, Anasteria did not make an immediate decision, but relayed the news to Prince Kael'thas who was far away in Suramar.
Compared with Anasteria, who pursues stability and achieves nothing in his old age, the young Prince Kael'thas is more energetic.
Regardless of what is going on within the Alliance, the orcs who have drank the blood of demons are indeed a threat to the major kingdoms of Azeroth.
Kael'thas was willing to provide reinforcements to Turalyon if the orc threat could be eliminated once and for all.
The premise is that the troops sent by Quel'Thalas will not be affected by "certain" countries in the alliance due to political factors, and will only directly obey the orders of Turalyon and Alleria.
As Anduin Lothar's deputy, the second Grand Marshal of the Alliance, and one of the first-generation Paladins, Turalyon's noble character has long been recognized by many parties.
Kael'thas is willing to hand over the army to Turalyon and Alleria, but he doesn't want "some" country that has been struggling recently to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"So that's it."
Sarlayan asked thoughtfully: "What about the time limit? When will this round of recruitment end?"
"A month later."
Halduron, who has always been carefree, rarely put on a serious expression: "Prince Kael'thas has confirmed that he will send reinforcements. Considering the cooperation with other participating countries, this army will mainly consist of rangers and mages."
Sarlayan nodded knowingly: "It's normal. The alliance does not lack front-row cannon fodder. What they lack is strong back-row support. His Royal Highness's arrangement is very reasonable."
Halduron patted Sarlayan on the shoulder: "If you and Valeela decide to participate in this expedition, Prince Kael'thas will open a special high-speed channel for you to ensure that you can reach Watchfort within one day. "
"Um……"
Sarlayan pondered for a moment and then asked Valeela beside him: "What did you say?"
Valeera shrugged nonchalantly: "I'll do whatever you want. I'll follow you wherever you go."
"If you decide to join this expedition, we must resolve the crisis lurking in Highmountain as quickly as possible."
"It's best to get in touch with Prince Kael'thas first and formally establish cooperation with the Highmountain Tribe through an official level."
The hidden problems in Highmountain have not yet surfaced. It is unlikely that the enemy's clues will be found in a short period of time just by relying on secret passages and secret exploration by Sharlayan and others.
If the Gaoling tribe can be mobilized to participate together, the four major clans, who are local snakes, will definitely speed up the search process and force the black hands hiding in the dark to show their feet.
Sarlayan quickly made up his mind: "I have always regretted not being able to officially participate in the Orc War. I don't want to let this opportunity pass me by."
"Stella, please send a letter to Prince Kael'thas. I will explain in the letter the problems Highmountain is facing today."
"Achieving cooperation with the Highmountain Tauren will definitely bring a lot of benefits to Quel'Thalas."
For some reason, Stellagosa seemed worried after hearing the news from the eastern kingdom of Halduron.
After hearing Sarlayan's request, she steeled herself and nodded in agreement.
Sarlayan, whose mind was elsewhere, did not notice these details, so he took out a pen and paper and started writing furiously.
However, Valeera saw Stellagosa's change in demeanor, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
'Haha~ Looking forward and backward, she is indeed just an inexperienced little girl. '
…
Knowing that Sharlayan had established preliminary contact with the Highmountain Tauren, Kael'thas, who was teaching his apprentices in Shal'Alan, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Salayan, this guy really can't sit still. Going out to relax can also involve national affairs."
Jaina tilted her little head and asked curiously: "Teacher, don't tauren live in Kalimdor? Why are they here too?"
Kael'thas explained gently: "Just like the elves have branches such as night elves, high elves, and children of the night, the ancient race of tauren has also branched off into some branches in its long history."
"For example, the yak people who are rooted in the cold land of Northrend, and the buffalo people who were lost in the continent of Pandaria, etc., the high mountain tauren are also one of them."
Jaina nodded in understanding: "Just like the major human kingdoms?"
"That's pretty much it."
Although Jaina is still young, she is the princess of Kul Tiras after all. She has learned a lot of things since she was a child and knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Seeing Kael'thas walking aside and whispering to Voretal and other advisors, the little princess retracted her attention without any regrets and raised her little head to look at the artificial magic lamp in Shal'Alan.
"Brother Sarlayan and the others are experiencing interesting adventures again. I really hope I can grow up quickly so that I can follow them to explore this mysterious and vast world."
