Not to mention the impact that Yin Nasi carried the yacht back to the shore on the business travel port traveling to and from Salmara.
After returning to Unicorn Town as quickly as possible, Sarlayan immediately established remote contact between Stellagosa and the Sunstrider Royal Court.
Since they share the magic network of the Sunwell, the video call between Unicorn Town and Silvermoon City has no delay.
As soon as the scene in the royal court opened, Sarlayan first saw the cabinet ministers debating fiercely behind Kael'thas.
Valeela has already forwarded the news brought by the water elemental messenger to Silvermoon City through the intelligence channel of the Backlight Blade, and the cabinet ministers are quarreling over this matter.
The conservatives, led by Prime Minister Darkan Drashir, hope to postpone sending troops until the time comes.
Their reasons are very good. As the descendants of the high elves, the high elves should not lower themselves and rush to rescue the rough night elves civilians. They should take advantage of this to make a huge profit.
Darkan had his own selfish motives behind this move. He wanted to take the opportunity of this court meeting to expand his influence in the cabinet.
But it has to be said that Darkan’s control of people’s hearts was just right, and he used national interests as bait, which resonated with many people.
Including Sun King Kael'thas himself, many cabinet ministers also had similar thoughts in their hearts.
Traveling thousands of miles across the sea to Kalimdor, Quel'Thalas can't be in vain.
However, the reformists headed by the four nobles believed that they should send troops as soon as possible and take this opportunity to make the night elves owe a favor.
The value of favors is difficult to measure in terms of material things. There is a saying that free things are the most expensive.
No one can guarantee that Quel'Thalas, which owns the Sunwell, will encounter problems that cannot be solved by its own strength alone in the future.
If this cross-sea rescue can be used as a reason to request the night elves to send troops for reinforcements, the night elves will most likely not be able to refuse.
To put it bluntly, the focus of the debate among the cabinet ministers is whether to capture immediate interests or look to the future. Both sides have a reasonable logic. It all depends on how Kael'thas, the Sun King, chooses.
After the remote communication with Unicorn Town was connected, Kael'thas was obviously relieved and looked at Sharlayan who appeared on the screen expectantly.
"Marquis of Deep Shadow, what do you think?"
'I stood and watched...'
Sarlayan did not want to take sides between the two factions of cabinet bosses. No matter which side he chose, he would undoubtedly offend the ministers on the other side.
However, given his official position as the Sun King's most senior advisor, it was natural for him to answer the King's questions.
Since he couldn't escape taking sides, Sarlayan tried his best to stand in an objective and fair position and analyzed the pros and cons of the two options for the elders present.
Those who can sit in the meeting hall are all human beings. Do they not know the pros and cons analyzed by Sarlayan?
The answer is of course no.
But there are some things that they are not comfortable talking about, but Sharlayan, a "reckless man" with a straight personality in Quel'Thalas, can point it out to the point.
Anyway, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Excluding Onyxia, Sarlayan's team is not as old as Leleissa alone.
The people present are all veterans who have lived for at least a thousand years. It is not shameful to speak freely in front of them as a straight-tempered junior.
After listening to Sarlayan's analysis, Kael'thas nodded seriously: "Would you choose the present or the future...? It's a very interesting topic."
Darkan rolled his eyes cryptically: "Why are you pretending to be innocent? I don't believe you didn't see it before." '
After Sharlayan pointed out the key, Kael'thas took advantage of the opportunity and said righteously: "Because of the existence of the Sunwell and the joint efforts of all ministers, Quel'Thalas has always been Azeroth. As a top-notch wealthy country, we don’t lack for some immediate benefits.”
"I prefer to let the night elves owe this great favor, and there will always be opportunities for them to return it in the future."
Kael'thas glanced meaningfully at the cabinet ministers present: "The Republic of Dark Night has inherited most of the legacy of the Dark Night Empire. Their national strength... I believe you all know it, and this favor will not be taken lightly."
Now that the Sun King had made his position clear, the cabinet ministers present discussed among themselves and quickly agreed with Kael'thas's choice.
Their professional counterparts, Foreign Minister Calpurnia and Defense Minister Releza, took the lead in speaking, followed by Education Minister Belovar Salona, Health Minister Elena Fontaine, Sindelar Affairs Minister Talever and others. Then seconded.
Many senior cabinet ministers expressed their opinions one after another. Darkan, who saw what was happening and wanted to show his influence, could only hold his nose and vote in favor.
Kael'thas glanced at the unwilling Darkan with a deep look, and quickly stopped his slightly twinkling eyes.
"Since there is no clear objection from the cabinet, the matter is settled."
"Secretary of Defense Relessa Windrunner."
Liressa hurriedly stood up from the round table and walked out: "Liressa Windrunner is here to listen to your majesty's orders."
Kael'thas ordered seriously: "This Kalimdor expedition is mainly underwater combat, there is no need to send ground elites."
"How is the training status of the newly established underwater combat force? Is it already capable of actual combat?"
As the Minister of Defense, Lelessa is in charge of all matters related to military mobilization in Quel'Thalas. She is one of the elders with the most real power in the cabinet.
The Windrunner family has been loyal to the Sunstrider royal family for generations, and has guarded the frontiers of Quel'Thalas for thousands of years.
There is no doubt about Lelessa's position. She is definitely on the side of Kael'thas, who single-handedly promoted the Windrunner family to the core of central power.
With Lelessa as the Minister of Defense controlling the national army, Kael'thas at least did not have to worry about anyone daring to rebel against him.
"about this point……"
Leleza turned her attention to Sarlayan, who appeared in the meeting hall via remote video: "The Marquis of Deep Shadow personally tested the actual combat effectiveness of the underwater combat unit not long ago, and he commissioned the National Defense Research Institute to develop and produce certain equipment. It might as well be It’s up to him to answer that question.”
"allow."
A smile appeared on Kael'thas' lips: "Marquis of Deep Shadow, please introduce the situation of the underwater combat troops to everyone."
"As commanded."
Valeela, Onyxia, and Tinargosa were all taking the time to pack their bags and bring equipment and props that they might use in deep sea battles.
The only person beside Sharlayan is Stellagosa, who is responsible for maintaining remote communications, and she herself does not appear in the picture.
He explained to the cabinet ministers his original intention of designing underwater combat equipment, as well as the principles and functions of these equipment in simple and easy-to-understand terms.
"When selecting soldiers for the underwater combat force, they will give priority to soldiers with good water resistance. They have fought against the murloc tribes in the sea many times, and without exception they have achieved overwhelming victories."
"Of course, the combat capabilities of Naga and Murloc are not the same, but I have confidence in the combat capabilities of the underwater combat troops."
"Even if they face the attack of swarms of Nagas, they will not be easily overwhelmed. When fighting in conjunction with the night elves and water elemental allies, they will definitely be able to achieve good results."
One of the cabinet ministers habitually opened his mouth to question. Darkan, who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly and stopped his intention with his eyes.
Darkan saw clearly that by now, Kael'thas had made up his mind, and there was no point in wasting any more words. Instead, it would easily anger the high-spirited Sun King and the Marquis of Deep Shadow.
'Salayan Deep Shadow, pray that you can win this battle, otherwise... don't blame me for settling the score. '
In the rectification movement against the decadent nobles in the past few years, Darkan's wings were largely cut off, and his ability to obtain intelligence was greatly reduced.
A few years passed, and after returning to the position of Chief Civilian Minister, Darkan began to secretly rebuild a private scout dedicated to gathering intelligence.
Through many rumors from home and abroad, he had vaguely guessed Sarlayan's true identity.
If his guess is correct, it can explain why the two Sun Kings of Anasteria and Kael'thas have so much trust in Sarlayan.
'Dragon clan... Haha~ He is born with endless lifespan and superior bloodline abilities. It is really enviable. It's a shame that Julian can hide his secrets so deeply. '
If Sarlayan is really a hybrid of dragon and high elf, as his age and abilities grow, relying on the Sun King's unconditional trust, he will definitely become the biggest obstacle to Darkan's return to the top in the future.
'The road is long and difficult, let's wait and see. '
