Facing Jaina's question, Sarlayan smiled and nodded.
"If the new alliance can really be impartial in dealing with disputes among member states, and work hard to mediate conflicts between countries, and promote economic, trade, political, military and diplomatic cooperation between countries, Quel'Thalas will rejoin What’s the harm?”
The Burning Legion's patience with Azeroth's layout is limited. Now that the Scourge Legion is actively accumulating power in the dark, Kil'jaeden can still bear it.
But Ner'zhul, this rebellious boy, will sooner or later show his ambition to break away from the control of the Burning Legion. At that time, the Burning Legion will definitely change its previous attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and start to personally intervene in Azeroth's affairs.
To the Burning Legion, the Draenor Expeditionary Force that is opening the Dark Portal is just a partial force, mainly used to consume Azeroth's living strength.
As long as legion commanders of the level of Archimonde and Kil'jaeden can enter Azeroth through some medium, the game will basically be declared over before the wild demigods are resurrected on a large scale.
Of course, this is the plan of the Burning Legion. Salayanke never thought that the arrival of Archimonde represented the end of the world.
It is true that Archimonde the Defiler is powerful and has reached the threshold of breaking through to become a demigod and become a true god.
Even compared with the Eternals in the Shadow Realm, in terms of combat effectiveness, he is not much different, especially the two who are lower in strength among the Eternals.
But if Archimonde alone wants to kill Azeroth, then the Burning Legion is thinking too much.
In the ancient war ten thousand years ago, the main reason why the Burning Legion was so strong was the ownership of the Well of Eternity.
The Well of Eternity, which was originally controlled by Azeroth, was shared with the Burning Legion, allowing them to continuously summon demonic reinforcements from the Twisting Nether, and finally even brought in the demon king Sargeras.
With the support of almost endless reinforcements, the Burning Legion simply relied on the human sea tactic to kill several wilderness demigods.
Coupled with Deathwing's betrayal, the dragon clan's reinforcements were greatly reduced, and Xavius and other insiders tried their best to sell. The combination of various factors resulted in the tragic ancient war.
Now that the Well of Eternity no longer exists, the new Well of Eternity and the Sun Well created using the water from the Well of Eternity are far from being able to compare with the original Well of Eternity in terms of output, let alone the Night Well.
It is almost impossible for the Burning Legion to use a large magic source to summon endless reinforcements.
In the original history, Kel'Thuzad, who proposed using the energy of the Sunwell to summon Archimonde, was a spy planted by Sarlayan into the Scourge, and he would never let this happen again.
In order to allow his distant relatives to fall from the mid-air that is beyond the reach of other mortal races and regain their feet on the ground, Sarlayan planned to use a trick to divert trouble to the west as a last resort.
Kel'Thuzad will try his best to shirk the Burning Legion's request to summon Archimonde. If he can't push it away... then use the news about the new Well of Eternity and the world tree Nordrassil to lure them to Kalimdor.
After all... a dead Taoist friend is better than a poor Taoist.
The reason why the night elves can maintain a superior attitude towards other races is due to the eternal blessing granted to Nordrassil by the dragon kings.
Only by losing their privileges over other mortal races can the night elves truly fall from the clouds and reestablish diplomatic relations with other races on an equal footing.
It remains to be seen what happens with the new Alliance, and as for the new Horde...
In the original history, Guyin, the new tribal leader who led the orcs to re-rise, was still studying in the Frostwolf clan deep in the snowy mountains of Alterac.
He recently asked Talesa, who often went out to buy supplies, to send a letter from Steinblade to Unicorn City. The letter told about his academic progress and what he had seen and heard in the Frostwolf clan in the past two years.
The Frostwolf clan, which has avoided war since entering Azeroth, is considered the gentlest clan among the orcs. Even so, Guyin'er is still worried about the warlike nature occasionally displayed by the clan members.
Although Guyin'er is the only son of the former chief Durotan and the legal heir of the Frostwolf clan, at least so far, he has not been fully recognized by the clansmen.
It is precisely for this reason that the aging Drek'Thar guided Guyin'er to the path of shamanism.
Shamans hold a very high status in the traditional knowledge of the orcs, and the chief shaman is equivalent to the chief in status. One is responsible for leading the development of the people, and the other is responsible for guiding the souls of the tribe.
Guyin'er is of noble birth. If he can gain the recognition of the elements of Azeroth and become a shaman, if Drek'Thar intends to give up his throne, he can naturally take over what should be his. Chief of the Frostwolf Clan.
As Gu Yin'er's life gradually gets on the right track, his "destiny" will find him sooner or later.
However, unlike the prophetic predictions in the original history, this time, it was Sarlayan who arranged the fate for him.
In order to fight against the attacks of the Burning Legion and the rising Scourge at the same time, Sharlayan hopes to integrate as much as possible of all the forces available to Azeroth.
The new tribe of orcs led by Guyin'er was also included.
Sarlayan is not sure now whether the new tribe in this timeline can reach the heights of the original history.
As a member of the Eastern Kingdoms, Quel'Thalas has only two choices when choosing a faction.
The first is to join the new alliance and cooperate with many countries in the Eastern Kingdom to deal with various crises that will come in the future.
The second is to take the lead in establishing a brand new organization to include all neutral races and countries, including night elves and tauren.
Option two seems very good. The new organization can step in between the new tribe and the new alliance, forming a relatively stable three-legged situation.
But one more force means there may be more conflicts.
Not to mention how to convince the night elves with their noses raised to the sky to join, this new organization destined to be dominated by the elves has one biggest shortcoming.
Can't afford to die.
You can't just let the tauren and furbolgs and other races that can give birth to die in the front every time. It's okay once or twice. If this happens for a long time, it's strange that the races that are used as cannon fodder don't feel resentful.
Moreover, once Quel'Thalas, which is based in the Eastern Kingdom, joins the new organization, it can be said to be isolated from the Eastern Continent to a certain extent. It will be impossible to maintain close cooperation in all aspects with the alliance countries as before.
Sarlayan and Kael'thas have discussed this matter many times. Both options have their own pros and cons. The specific choice will still depend on the subsequent development of the situation.
If Arthas wins the battle for the throne of Lordaeron, rebuilding the alliance will naturally be out of the question, and Kael'thas will immediately start the process of creating a new force.
On the other hand, if Calia wins, it would be a safe choice to build a new alliance and join in with the help of the already established framework.
What? The balance of power between Alliance and Horde?
That thing has nothing to do with Sharlayan, and it's not a game. Who said that the two camps must be balanced in strength?
Jaina, who knew the discussion content of the conference in advance, could not make up her mind, so she immediately informed Dailin, who was godsoning her son in Boralus Palace, about this important news.
Kul Tiras is isolated overseas, and all connections with the mainland are by sea.
If given the choice, they would certainly hope to further strengthen trade with the countries in the Eastern Continent.
However, the alliance led by Terenas really disappointed Daelin. He still had doubts about whether Kul Tiras would join the new alliance and had reservations for the time being.
Sharlayan was not surprised by Daelin's choice. After all, the new alliance had not yet been decided, and even Quel'Thalas had not yet made up its mind.
The final choice must be flexibly adjusted according to changes in circumstances. Kael'thas generously handed over the decision to Sharlayan. He believed that the Duke of Deep Shadow would continue to make the right decision in favor of Quel'Thalas.
When teleporting back to the Kul Tiras embassy that night, Jaina unexpectedly learned from the ambassador that Arthas had not stayed in the embassy to wait.
After failing to find Jaina who was out in the morning, he turned around and left with a worried expression, and never appeared again.
"A lot of things on my mind..."
Jaina's expression became serious, and she shared this information with Sharlayan without hesitation.
"Oh?" Sarlayan tapped his fingers on the table with interest: "It seems that Arthas already has a preference... Kel'Thuzad, do you think he will accept your offer?"
Kel'Thuzad, who happened to be visiting on behalf of Baron Rivendell, was sitting opposite Sarlayan. He spread his hands and said: "Until the moment the final result is announced, I can't make any guarantees. I can only say...according to him Judging from the degree of fluctuation, the confidence is relatively high.”
