2. The clouds of war
"Damn the Rusty Water Plutocracy has dispatched all the merchant ships! Garry Vickers, the Prince of Trade, has gone mad, and the orcs have promised him the right to mine all the mines in Durontar and the Barrens, so he has violated the rules that goblin merchants are not allowed to intervene in the war head-on!The shareholders of the Hot Sand Harbor Company and the Venture Capital Company are furious, another trade prince, Rivigaz, intends to sanction Gary Vickers, and the mercenaries of Hessotech are also on the move.

"Anyway, there's going to be a war in the goblin world! Just because of these damn orcs! I'm going to lose at least 5 percent of my profits this month! They're going to hell and feed the lobster people!"
Goblin Warren Manes stood in a chair, holding a wooden pole in his hand, sliding back and forth on the map behind him, dressed in a well-textured little gown, with all sorts of luxurious rings on his ten fingers, and in an agitated tone.
Warren is the goblin merchant that Dick rescued on Warrior Island, probably out of gratitude, or the idea of an opportunist peculiar to goblins, after he was rescued, he did not choose to leave, but joined the court of Theramore, as a nail for Theramore to break into the goblin group, and accurately transmitted back a lot of secret information about the goblin chaebol for the kingdom.
With a background is always easy to do, the shrewd Warren not only delivered the news, but also ran his trading company prosperously, and is said to have been famous in the Tanaris Desert for a generation, and it is said that he also took a stake in the construction of an entertainment venue with a chaotic background in the Shining Plains south of Theramore.
The goblins talked too much about their business, until the goblins' chatter was interrupted by the goblins' chatter from the old courtier who had followed Princess Kaliya from the North to Theramore, and the surviving patriarch of the Barov family, who had once owned the largest landfall in the North.
"How many orcs did the Rusty Water Chaebol bring this time?"
"Well, a conservative estimate is at least around 1W5-2W orcs!"
Warren rubbed his fingers, the green head with big eyes, especially when they were very focused, the long ears that were very similar to the trolls would always move around unconsciously, and there was always an inexplicable sense of joy,
"And according to the news from the commercial spies I planted in the Rusty Water Chaebol, this is only the first transportation, and the number of agreements between the orcs and the Rusty Water Chaebol is at least 3 times!"
Moyns's fingers clenched, 6W Blackstone Orc, this will directly break the power contrast between Theramore and the Orcs in the Barrenland! He looked at the eldest princess of Kalia, the face of the tallest man in Seramo was also full of anger,
"I still can't forget the scene when the orcs besieged Lordaeron, especially the dark-skinned orcs, they are all murderous monsters! I can't let them continue to enter Kalimdor! I don't want Theramore to become a second Lordaeron!"
The eldest princess, who was cultivated as a standard noblewoman, rarely spoke so fiercely, and you can imagine how much trouble the orc's actions caused her this time, the eldest princess turned her attention to Dick and the generalissimo Gatherys, who had joined Theramore with the remnants of the Fourth Legion last year.
"Put pressure on them!Dick, and Marshal Gathris, I can tolerate the greenskinned orcs who have been tested by the Battle of Mount Hyjal and have expressed their intention to make peace live outside of our country, but I can't allow a bunch of savage warmongers to appear here! For the past 2 years, they have been fighting in the Burning Plains and the Stormwind Kingdom, their hands covered in the blood of their compatriots, and I don't believe that these orcs will become docile when they reach Kalimdor!"
Gathiris saved a life in the war at Thurperchel, but he left a part of his body forever in the land that had been overrun by the undead, and he lost a leg and an eye, and after barely surviving, he could no longer take up arms.
Now he wears a black blindfold and a black military uniform, and although his weakened body is no longer able to fight, no one will underestimate him, especially when he is loyal to Kalia, the last heir to the royal family of Minehir, and gets along well with the Silver Dawn of the Northern Earl.
At the moment when the eldest princess's words fell, Gathiris was a little weak, but full of strong voices, and immediately responded,
"Rest assured, Your Highness, our soldiers can attack those beasts from the Northern Fortress at any time!"
Dick was also annoyed by Thrall's hand, and after Garthris had finished speaking, he also said in a deep voice,
"Silver Dawn is ready for war at any time! If Thrall can't give us a reason, I'll personally lead the paladins to banish those Blackstone Orcs from this land that will only belong to Lordaeron!"
Gianna, who was sitting next to Dick, held on to the wide mage hat, and also made a sonorous expression,
"Theramore's mage forces are ready to join the battle at any time, and I've just communicated with Archmage Ronin, and if necessary, the rebuilt Dalaran will also help. ”
After Dick appeared, the eldest lady put all her energy on him, naturally it was impossible to pay attention to a green-skinned orc, in fact, without the influence of Sal, the eldest lady is still very indifferent to the orcs now, she may have a certain restraint towards the green-skinned orcs because she once fought side by side with Sal, but for those blackstone orcs who have dealt with her, and even almost killed her, there is no good feeling at all!
From this point of view, Dick can be regarded as helping Gianna, at least he no longer has to worry that Gianna will kill his father with his own hands for the sake of peace with the orcs.
The anger of the eldest princess of Kalia dissipated a little, after all, she grew up in a royal family, unlike a girl like Gianna, who was sent out of that bad situation by Dai Lin since she was a child, especially after becoming the lord of Theramore, she has matured a lot, so after thinking about it carefully, the eldest princess shook her head,
"Go to war... It's still a little too reckless, so be it, Earl Dick, it's up to you to deal with the greenskins, be tough, and if they question making a provocative move against peace, then..."
"Yes, Your Highness, I know what to do!"
Dick tucked his hat over his head, nodded to the other high-ranking people in attendance, and walked out of the conference room with Gianna, where the goblins were already waiting for him.
The three of them walked to the seats outside the palace, the goblin was always respectful of the benefactor who had saved his life and business, he rubbed his fingers back and forth a little nervously, looked at Dick, and asked softly,
"Mr. Earl, do you think Theramore and the Orcs will go to war?"
Dick shook his head,
"I... I don't know, but we have to be prepared to tear our faces, so, Warren, didn't you just say that the Hot Sand Harbor Company and the venture capital company are planning to sanction Gary Vickers? You are also involved! Find a way to promote this sanction, and we must not let those Blackstone Orcs set foot on this land again!"
When the goblin heard this, his two long ears couldn't help jumping, and his shrill voice rang out,
"But Your Excellency, I don't have enough chips on hand! I can't influence the decisions of those big people, I'm just a small merchant! I can't even muster a mercenary army!"
Obviously, the goblins are scared, and these little creatures who are crazy about profit have a natural fear of war, presumably because they are extremely weak in combat, so they are better at using cunning intelligence and money to get everything done.
Dick's eyes narrowed, he looked at the goblin, put his left hand on the goblin's shoulder, this action made the goblin's whole body tremble, and then he heard the paladin's voice lowered,
"No, you have it, take this thing, go to the Stormwind Kingdom's Western Wilderness Lighthouse, go to Senxia, he is your bargaining chip!Warren, I know you're not content to be a small trader, think about it, if you do this for Theramore, I can find a way to get you involved in the official business channels of Theramore, isn't that exactly what you want?"
"Black... Dark Lord Senxia?"
Warren was startled to hear the name of the pirate leader who had become famous in the last year, and the Warhammer badge that Dick had stuffed into his hand seemed to become hot, but goblins were goblins, and the pursuit of profit in their veins quickly made Warren determined.
"Don't worry, Lord Count! I'll do it for my country!"
Woking fastened his top hat over his head and quickly walked out of the court, his troll bodyguards were waiting for him outside the court, for goblins, all time means money, that is a precious thing!
"Actually, as long as I send a command to the Third Fleet of Kul Tiras, they can easily sink those merchant ships, and you don't need to use the power of Senxia's side. ”
Gianna gently rubbed her fingers on Dick's forehead, and she stood behind Dick, and the paladin closed her eyes, rested her head on the eldest lady's abdomen, and then replied in a non-compliant manner,
"Ah, I always feel like I'm in a position to change myself... Anna, this matter can't be officially dispatched, otherwise it could easily turn into another war between the orcs and the human world, remember the news from Pragg's side last month? There are also traces of dragon roar orcs on the side of Minahir Port in Ironforge Castle, plus the Blackstone orcs, the Warsong clan of Ash Valley, it seems that the "poison blood" of the orcs has been slowly cleared, their strength is recovering, and their ambitions are being restored together, Thrall can't control all the orcs, he can't even do it alone, we will have a war with the orcs... But it can't be now!"
"Why?"
The eldest lady looked at Liadleine who came from a distance, the corners of her mouth pouted unhappily, and then she saw Dick silently holding the red crystal that had been hanging around his neck since the battle of the dragons, and a slightly hot feeling came into Dick's palm, this dark red crystal was like an awakened beast, calling for its companions.
After 1,000 years of silence, it was finally about to wake up again! The paladin knew what this meant, and estimated that he was the only one in this country, and even in the entire Human Alliance, who knew what was about to happen.
The paladin's voice became ethereal, and it seemed to be so faint that only he could hear it.
"Because... Because another war, another disaster, is coming!"
