Chapter 315: For Lianmeng!
There has never been a large-scale ethnic civil war in human history, but the Seven Kingdoms are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface.
It all started with Stein Bryd.
At the end of the Age of the Seven Kingdoms, Steinbrad was the weakest of the human nations, but it was once the most extensive of its ancestors—it occupied all of the Hills Brad Hills, extending north to Hinterland and east to the city of Rapidsberg.
When the throne passed to a young pink-haired queen, the kingdom became aggressive and began to provoke the bordering nation - the young girl of the Hillsbrides had always been aggressive, and this queen was especially the queen, and the kingdom was expanding outward at a frantic pace under her leadership.
When the queen prepared her army to deal a final blow to the remnants of the Arathi Empire who were in her way south, and completely wiped Riptide Castle off the map, she was opposed by the elves, dwarves, and the other six nations - the elves had an alliance with Arathi's remnants, and the Seven Kingdoms all promised to guarantee the ** of Riptide Castle when they peacefully split the empire.
The civil war of the Union finally failed to start...... Despite its strength, Steinbrad has not yet challenged the power of eight nations at once, and the real reason for its isolation is that it is expanding so fast that everyone is afraid of it.
The authority of the royal family gradually declined, the lords of the kingdom no longer obeyed the Hillsbrad family, and Steinbrad fell.
But hatred will not disappear with the fall of the country, Alterac, who was often bullied in the past, bullied the decayed Steinbrad this time, and the two sides faced off and friction for more than ten years at the junction of the long hills and mountains, when Steinbrad could no longer withstand the harassment of Alterac. Finally, he asked for help from his in-law Lordaeron.
Lordaeron doesn't want to see a powerful Steinbrad, but he can't let it collapse completely - Lordaeron has to rely on Steinbrad, who is nailed to the hills, to stop the expansion of Alterac and Gilneis.
With a new belligerent in this bloodless war, Alterac is beginning to be overwhelmed, while his neighbor, the magical nation of Dalaran, is fighting in the Silver Pines Forest. The idea of belonging to the land of Gilneth.
The Masters usually take a very neutral position, but when they encounter what they want, they seem to be a little unreasonable - Ambermere's ownership is worse than bad debts, and it is not clear in any case, but for a long time, it has been controlled by Gilneth.
Overnight, the Gilneys were driven out of Ambermere by a horde of mages - Lordaeron had always been friendly with Dalaran. Acquiesced in this territorial annexation.
Naturally, Alterac and Gilneth came together, and although Dalaran was closer to Lordaeron, the Arches were worthy of being Archers, and they still adhered to a neutral stance. It's all the same as the hatred of the people of Gilneis.
The other two isolated human nations do not stop, the rising Stormwind has always regarded Lordaeron as an imaginary enemy, and the archipelago nation of Kul Tiras, which has the right to control the sea, has become the first stumbling block on the road to the rise of Stormwind.
Kurtilas has been Lordaeron's staunchest ally for countless years, and the two royal families have long been from the same family, and Stormwind has joined the remnants of the Arathi Empire in the Gilneth and Alterac factions.
Even the foreign races are drawn into the confrontation of human nations.
The Copperbeard Dwarves are close to the Stormwind Kingdom, while the Hammer Dwarves prefer Lordaeron. The High Elves hate all humans, but because of the ancient covenant, they have to express their support for Arahi's remnants...... Everyone forgot about the dwarf again. They also wanted to make a statement, but recently a terrible stone palatinous monster had sprung up beneath Nomorigan, and the gnomes had never taken sides.
When two military blocs with irreconcilable contradictions are formed, it is most likely a prelude to war.
It was also at this time that Medivan opened the Dark Gate and introduced the orcs to Azeroth.
At the time of the foreign enemy's present. The four tribes and eleven countries of the alliance temporarily broke the barrier and joined hands again.
……
In Loria's time. The remnants of the northern countries have long diluted the concept of national borders, in the plague-ravaged land. There has always been only a distinction between the living and the dead, and there has been no distinction between nationalities.
But in the era in which she now lives, people have not forgotten the antagonism of countless years.
In every country, there is no shortage of words for sarcasm against opposing nations—these young men do not have any hatred for each other, but they are always immune to the ideological influence of Kingdom education.
The reason why Adlina was able to get acquainted with Loria so quickly was not only because they were girls of the same age, but also because of different countries, whether it was Lordaeron or Steinbled, in the context of Kul Tiras, they both meant friends.
Of course, the same goes for the pair of Alterac and Gilneth on the other side.
Both sides instinctively distrust each other, and it would be wishful thinking to rally everyone by relying on the shrunken and relatively neutral Dalaran Spreg at this time, Loria thought it was funny, and the hatred that the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms forged against each other because of their selfish desires was something about ordinary people.
Humanity has not really fought, and there is no such thing as zài avenging his compatriots.
This unwarranted hatred is not so much the will of the state as the idea that the ruler instills in everyone.
Loria didn't know that although the contradiction had existed for a long time, it was her maternal great-grandmother who lit the first fire in the great confrontation of mankind.
If they are lucky enough to meet one day, the Pink-Haired Queen may pull Pink-Haired Lori's claws and earnestly warn her that she must fulfill her will - she must first kill those Arashi Souls, then kill the grasshoppers of the Six Kingdoms, and finally establish a steel alliance ruled by Pink-hair!
Well, if another tribe of steel pops up one day, the world will be very interesting.
……
"Hey, I said a few of you, come here. ”
Loria beckoned to the other three, and since these bear children didn't care about each other at all, she couldn't sit idly by - she had only experienced the horrors of hordes of natural disasters once a while ago, and this time, there was no powerful moon priest guarding her.
"Let's go north first, there should be abandoned houses near Stratholme to shelter from the rain. ”
When the other three people approached over, Loria was not polite and gave orders directly.
The old man who threw them over had said that the Scarlet Crusaders were planning an attack on Stratholme, and that it would be even more dangerous to the south.
"How do you know it's going to rain?"
Xi De looked up at the sky, and it didn't look like it was going to rain.
"Of course it was Adlina who sued me. ”
Loria walked on, she knew some of the Kurtilas at the monastery, and they said that when it rained, it was never clear.
It is said that the people of Kul Tiras learned to sail boats and watch the weather while still in their mother's womb
