Sarlayan: "..."
[Laughing so hard, Valeela is still so considerate and goes straight to the topic without any detours. Is Xiao Sa touched? 】
[Salayan: Don’t dare to move, don’t dare to move. 】
Sarlayan: "God is considerate of others, right? He's a bunch of idiots, I'm really convinced."
[Fuck, if you can, say this in front of Valeera and Yinnas, and I will admit that you are a man. 】
Sarlayan sneered disdainfully in his heart: "There is no need to prove to you whether I am a man or not. Valeera and the others just need to know."
【? ? ? 】
[No, can you drive on this broken road? The wheels of the car hit my face. 】
Sarlayan implemented the principle that silence is golden and pretended to be distracted to engage in a passionate dialogue with the barrage.
Yin Nasi didn't want to embarrass her son in front of her wives. Seeing him acting like he didn't want to answer the question, she simply changed the topic to another direction.
"By the way, what is the situation over there in Northrend?"
Yin Nas asked curiously: "Judging from the performance of Baron Rivendell, Solas must have succeeded in seizing power. What was the process?"
Sarlayan, who had been playing dumb before, took the initiative to take over the topic and said, "We were not directly involved in the battle for Icecrown Citadel. Vereesa and Kel'Thuzad only told us the news after everything was settled. "
"To put it in one sentence, my plan was implemented smoothly. The only doubt is the whereabouts of Alsace's soul."
"Alsace?"
Yin Nasi asked in confusion: "What kind of trick did that stupid prince get up to?"
'Silly dick is okay...'
The corner of Sarlayan's mouth twitched slightly, forcing himself to ignore Yin Nasi's sharp comments.
"According to Kel'Thuzad, Arthas's soul should have been washed away by the souls who harbored deep resentment against him after Frostmourne was broken, but... in fact, his soul was not Fly away."
When he first received the contact from Kel'Thuzad, Sharlayan was also confused.
After some analysis and discussion with Valeela, Onyxia and others, Sarlayan came to a more likely conclusion.
"According to our guess, Alsace should have been rescued by someone when he was dying, and this person..."
Sarlayan's eyes were slightly narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If nothing else happens, it should be Emperor Denathrius who has been secretly paying attention to the Scourge Legion."
Onyxia took up the topic and said: "Denasius probably didn't expect that Azeroth would be able to fight on two fronts while fighting against the invasion of the Burning Legion, and defeat the Scourge in a wave. collapse."
"At this point, he had no choice but to stop his losses and bring Arthas, a still valuable soul, back to the Shadow Realm at the last moment to prepare for the future counterattack on Azeroth."
"Well..." Yinasi and Julian looked at each other, and Julian asked on behalf of him: "Why didn't he choose Ner'zhul, who has been working with him for many years, but chose Arthas, who has a broken soul?"
Onyxia's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc: "The reason is simple. Ner'zhul is really useless."
"The reason Denathrius initially chose him was just because this guy was easy to manipulate, and he didn't have much expectations for his abilities from the beginning."
Stellagosa took over and said, "Even if we didn't take action, Denathrius would have long wanted to silence Ner'zhul, who knows too many secrets and is unable to keep them."
"The Dreadlord who infiltrated Icecrown Citadel did so for this purpose."
Sarlayan finally concluded: "Since Ner'zhul is destined to be destroyed, Denathrius does not need to spend a lot of money to fish out this useless guy. It is better to replace him with someone who has a strong obsession with Azeroth." The soul continues to pua."
"Under the conditions at the time, the most suitable candidate was undoubtedly Alsace."
"This news..." Yinasi frowned and asked Sarlayan, "Does Queen Calia know about it?"
"No." Sarlayan sighed softly: "I haven't had time to tell her yet, let's wait until the alliance celebration meeting later."
"Today's Calia is no longer the weak Princess of Lordaeron back then. After years of experience in government affairs, her will has been tempered to be very strong. I believe she can accept this fact."
…
Baron Rivendell, who claimed to be the representative of the "New Scourge", took the initiative to seek peace. This unexpected move put Lordaeron in a dilemma.
Previously, the nobles and ministers of Lordaeron had never considered that one day they could sit down and negotiate with the undead, an undead creature that hated the living.
Counting from the counterattack surrounding the Dark Portal, Lordaeron has experienced several wars in succession, and it is now at the end of its tether.
Although the logistics supplies could barely keep up with the support of the allies, the soldiers of Lordaeron were not tireless undead.
Recently, the attacks of the Knights of the Silver Hand have been frustrated one after another, which is inevitably the reason why the combat effectiveness of their soldiers has declined.
Despite this fight, Calia remained calm and wanted to end the war and rest in peace.
However, in the view of the civil and military ministers of Lordaeron, the Stratholme region has not yet been recovered, and the war to regain the territory has not been completed.
If they cannot capture the last bridgehead of the Scourge in the Eastern Kingdom in one go, once they are allowed to recover, who knows whether the new Lich King will allow the Scourge to continue to expand.
Just at this time, Calia, who was still hesitant, received a letter from Alonsos Faol entrusted by Kel'Thuzad to send to Calia.
The letter explained in detail how the new Lich King Thoras successfully seized power and the Scourge's new philosophy.
Alonsos Faol promised Calia that all the Scourge would soon move to Draenor, leaving only Stratholme as their liaison base in Azeroth.
This base is mainly to facilitate the Scourge to convey the latest information from Draenor to Azeroth. The new Lich King promised in the name of Trollbane that he will never continue to expand his territory in Azeroth.
The importance of the Stratholme region to Lordaeron is self-evident. As the region closest to Quel'Thalas, Stratholme paid a large amount of taxes to central Lordaeron every year before its fall.
However, the matter has come to this, and Lordaeron, whose military strength is exhausted, is indeed unable to conquer. Uther has reported this problem to Calia more than once.
While other countries were busy celebrating the victory in the Battle of Seamountain, fierce quarrels were heard in the Lordaeron Council Hall for several days.
"Hey~"
Calia had a headache and interrupted the two ministers who were quarreling with red faces: "You two, let's stop here for now."
After gathering her emotions, Calia said seriously to the nobles and ministers who had different opinions in the hall: "I plan to bring this matter to the alliance meeting for discussion."
"It turns out that it is difficult for Lordaeron to regain Stratholme by itself. We need more help. We hope that the opinions of our allies can bring us some enlightenment."
The main war faction and the main peace faction exchanged glances with each other and agreed to the queen's suggestion.
After announcing the disbandment of the court, Calia returned to her palace and picked up the letter sent by Alonsos Fao again, her face a little uncertain.
"What should I do? Give up Stratholme and end the war, or use all the strength of the country to take back this taxing region?"
With the return of the Kalimdor Expedition, in theory, Lordaeron does have a chance to take back Stratholme if it can get help from other allies.
But here's the problem.
Not only Lordaeron is resting and resting, but other countries in the Alliance are also exhausted and urgently need to put down the war and recuperate. Calia does not think they will give much support in taking Stratholme.
"Does it...really just give up? Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
…
One week after Sharlayan's early return, the Kul Tiran fleet led by Tandre Proudmoore returned to the Eastern Kingdoms fully loaded with Alliance soldiers. The mighty fleet docked at the Northern Stream Port in Tirisfal Glades. .
Alliance soldiers with their heads held high entered the Royal City of Lordaeron in multiple neat lines, accepting inspections and awards from leaders of various countries, including Calia.
Sarlayan failed to hide behind the Sun King Kael'thas as always. As the nominal supreme commander of the Kalimdor Expeditionary Force, he could only stand at the front of all the phalanxes.
'What kind of public execution... it's better to end it as soon as possible. '
As a pragmatist, Sarlayan has never been interested in such formalistic things, but on this occasion, he cannot just slap his butt and leave. After all, he represents more than just an individual at this time.
Fortunately, the leaders of various countries also knew that their warriors were exhausted physically and mentally after being tossed on the sea for many days, so they did not waste time by talking too much nonsense at the celebration meeting.
As for rewards based on merit? Then they have to wait until their respective armies return to the country, and then their king will personally announce it.
"Um?"
After finally holding on until the ceremony was over, Sarlayan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to reunite with his family, when he noticed the look of help from Calia.
'what's the situation? '
