When you go out to hang out, you always have to pursue something.
According to incomplete statistics, 99.3% of warriors seek either fame or fortune, and 83.4% of adventurers seek both fame and fortune.
What? What do the other 0.7% of guys want?
Well~~~~~~
You are spreading sand everywhere, of course you are asking for your life.
In real big-shot talks, major issues concerning the world are often decided in a few words, a few glasses of wine and a cup of tea.
The talks between a bunch of "executives" sitting together were basically just nonsense, and they lasted for several days and nothing was decided.
Sorry for the slip of the tongue, let alone deciding, I can't even confirm anything.
But such meetings that are a waste of life and time cannot be avoided, because the participants will feel that they are taken seriously, which will be of some benefit in not causing trouble in getting practical things done in the future.
Tsk tsk, it’s boiling.
So when the Seven Kingdoms began to fight over the new round of alliance military expenditure sharing, Terenas was wandering in the sky, Daelin was carving wood carvings with a dagger under the table, Solas closed his eyes and rested, and Genn worked hard. Staring, trying to show his majesty, Alex Barov directly pushed his son up. He didn't know how happy he was. Antonidas must have been used to such meetings for a long time and couldn't see any clues. Ross immediately changed positions with the Alterac people and bragged in a low voice with Kael'thas.
The two had a small dispute about the fact that they always have to pay back when they go out to hang out.
"Where did your 83.4% data come from? What's wrong with adventurers gaining fame and fortune? Why do you need to hide your identity?"
Kael'thas used the three consecutive questions skillfully.
"I bought the data from a guy named Enkiai. Fame and fortune are hard to come by as adventurers, because others will be jealous."
Carlos explained to Kael'thas in a low voice.
“It is not convincing enough and the arguments do not fully support the argument.”
"Let me tell you, there is a guy named Sato Kazuma who is a professional adventurer..."
Although it was just a boast by two young people who were tired of meaningless talks, in the eyes of those who were interested, this was ironclad evidence that Alterac had the support of Quel'Thalas.
After the morning meeting, Alex explained to his son the advantages and disadvantages of being too close to the high elves in a serious and thoughtful manner. Carlos was stunned for a moment.
Why are people's hearts so complicated nowadays?
But there's always a wrong move. Silvermoon City's technology is a hundred years ahead of the league, so there's no harm in trying a little harder.
Therefore, Carlos ignored his father's advice and decisively skipped the afternoon meeting with Kael'thas to go to the high-end consumer area of Lordaeron for afternoon tea.
"By the way, Kael'thas, I have some doubts and worries that I would like to ask you for advice."
"Speaking."
"A few days ago, I gained a deeper understanding of the Holy Light, and within just one month, my height skyrocketed by twenty centimeters. Hmm... I'm a little confused as to whether this will have any side effects."
"It's a normal phenomenon. You've heard of the mages' arcane enhanced state. Your situation should be similar to that, because the capacity of your body has increased, but the quality has not increased, so the accumulated holy light will stretch your body. Now. Look at those wild animals in the wild that have absorbed magic power, such as wolves, bears, etc., don’t they also have this kind of sudden increase in size? Even some mindless mages have it. Don’t worry about it, just meditate more later. Just meditate, stabilize yourself, and it’ll be fine.”
"Then...can it be made smaller? My height of 2.2 meters was very satisfactory and suitable before."
"Hmm...Holy Light, I don't have much research to do. How about I give you a deformation necklace and you can maintain the shrinking technique for yourself."
"No, thanks."
Chatting is more interesting than discussing important military matters, but one is the king of Alterac, the soon-to-be-official marshal of the Alliance, and the other is the heir of Quel'Thalas, the future Lord of the High Elves, and the Eternal Sun Wang, even if these two people sit together and talk nonsense, in the eyes of outsiders, it will still be a secret conversation.
In this case, if we don't talk about serious business, we will be sorry for the audience's expectations.
"Can you tell me about the orcs and the Dark Portal? Regarding the tribe's intelligence, I hope to hear your opinion. Just looking at written information is not trustworthy."
"Huh?! Hear what you say, Silvermoon City is preparing to fully intervene in the war with the tribe?"
"Yes, Silver Moon City has finally reached a consensus."
"Let me think about what to say."
Carlos ate something, took another sip of his drink, put down his glass and began to think.
"Orcs are a respectable and formidable race. Orc warriors are really strong. Even I must go all out to treat every orc warrior. Any negligence may cost my life. I don't know Sir Lothar. It was like what it was like in Stormwind City, but when the war in Hillbrad started, it was really a hard fight. And the warlocks of the tribe... you are more professional than me on this, so I won't show off."
"No, from a warrior's perspective..."
Carlos waved his hand to signal Kael'thas not to interrupt him.
"Okay, you continue."
"But judging from the interrogation information, there is a reasonable explanation for the orcs' combat effectiveness."
"Um?"
Kael'thas straightened his body. He knew about Gul'dan, but this was the first time he heard about the gap in combat effectiveness. What a piece of information!
"The orc warlock named Gul'dan deceived the tribe. From the orc prisoners of war, we got a very important piece of information. The orcs who invaded Azeroth had all taken the blood of the demon lord. They called it [Blood of Blood]. Blessings]. And Gul'dan's betrayal led to the mental fatigue of the orcs. It was a fluke to win. After the orcs withdrew from Hillbrad, their individual combat effectiveness actually declined, and coupled with the collapse of morale, it became possible. Victory later. If it were the orcs at the beginning of the war, none of the 200,000 people who marched south would have come back."
"There is still such a saying!"
Kael'thas's eyes widened. What does Silvermoon City's intelligence officer do for a living?
"The most important point is that it is also the reason why I led the continuation of the war and was even willing to endure so much suspicion."
Carlos gave up.
"Please enlighten me."
Kael'thas has become serious.
"The orcs are not ghosts without roots, and the tribe has not failed."
"What's the meaning?"
"On the other side of the Dark Portal is Draenor, the home of the orcs. Gul'dan also has a teacher named Ner'zhul. The tribal orcs who invaded our world are only part of the orcs of Draenor. If the orcs are willing, they can form more A massive invading army, an even more terrifying tribe.”
"But... um... intelligence analysts believe that it is impossible for the orcs to assemble an invasion army of this size again. You see, the orcs' technology and magic are not ahead of us. The destruction of the Kingdom of Stormwind preceded us, and the orcs are no strangers to us. But they didn't get support from Draenor at the most critical moment. Well, Draenor. So you see, if the orcs have that strength, why don't they continue the war. This is unreasonable."
"Because the orcs are operating on the third front."
Carlos said something surprising.
"ah!"
Kael'thas lost his composure for the first time.
"There is no supporting evidence for the source of this information. Just listen to me. It doesn't matter if you just listen to it as a story."
"What you say is trustworthy."
Kael'thas used honorifics.
"The orcs in Draenor are at war with the Draenei, the Gorria Empire, and the Raven Empire on three fronts, not counting the tiger-men, leopard-men, Gronns and other powerful races that cannot be divided into countries. If we add in the invasion This tribe in our world is actually fighting on four fronts. The most troublesome thing is that according to one of my arakkoa friends, the ogre Goria Empire is about to compromise with the orcs, and the arakkoa empire is also preparing to do so. Retreat to make a truce with the orcs. The worst thing is that the draenei were caught off guard by the orcs and have lost the capital for a head-on confrontation. So your intelligence officer failed in his duty. The orcs not only have the ability to invade again, but also, if, When the orcs come again, they will be more ferocious and powerful. Because not only can they invade our world with all their strength, they are also likely to bring their new allies with them."
"Why didn't the intelligence services get any wind?!"
Kael'thas couldn't believe it. The methods used by mages to extract memories were not as good as the torture of soldiers?
Why does Silvermoon City or I know nothing about this!
"Two reasons."
Carlos thought for a while and decided to be honest with Kael'thas. After all, his attitude directly affected the decision of Sun King Anastarian.
"First, it is the reason for the orcs themselves. Most of the clans, tribes, chiefs and their commanders and centurions died in battle, and few were captured alive. Most of the underground soldiers were illiterate and could not get any valuable information. I want to piece it together. Exposing the panoramic view requires extensive torture and interrogation. It’s funny, but we guys fighting on the front lines learn the orc language better than the interrogators at the rear.”
"I've been taught, what else?"
"Second, those mages are so stupid... I'm sorry, I didn't talk about you."
"Ahem, please continue."
"In addition to bringing disaster, the orcs also brought shadow magic. The magic system of warlocks is completely different from the arcane magic of your high elves. Now the private research on warlock magic in human society has gone too far. Looking back, I will talk to Anthony Master Das talks about this issue. I am digressing. Secondly, who are the people whose memories are extracted by mages? They are orc warlocks. I'm sorry, it's not that I look down on mages, but when it comes to souls, warlocks are the experts. "
"is that so?!"
Kael'thas savored Carlos's speech carefully, chewing on its meaning.
"I tell you this not to express anything, but to tell you my thoughts. The Dark Door must be closed before we are ready."
"Um?"
Kael'thas felt that he did not understand what Carlos meant by this sentence.
"Some people think that the Alliance has already won? No, far from it. The Kingdom of Stormwind has been destroyed, and we cannot suppress the possible counterattack of the orcs with Ironforge alone. Therefore, we must first close the Dark Portal and cut off the channels for the orcs to invade us. . Then restore humanity... Sorry, I think you, Quel'Thalas, are not interested in building an enclave so far away. So the Alliance must restore its rule in the Elwynn region. Only in this way can we have the qualifications to counterattack and counterattack. capital."
"Counterattack?"
"Are the orcs allowed to fight but not us? The orcs are allowed to rob our wealth, but we are not allowed to go to Draenor to retaliate? This is not the Alliance's style."
Carlos said with a raised corner of his mouth.
