Chapter 115: Conversation on the Road
"Sakin, the Great Chief has appointed you as a tribal envoy to negotiate with the Kokar Centaur Khan this time, have you thought about how to negotiate?"
Lexa and Sakin walked across the vast plains of the Barrenlands, with Misha and Hofer behind them, and Sbillet and Leok circling in the sky.
Thrall urgently summoned Lexa and Sakin back to Orgrimmar, firstly to ascertain Wojin's adoption of orphans from the Frostspear Clan, and secondly, to personally confirm the drastic changes in Sagin.
Both of these things have been confirmed, and it has also made a lot of changes in Saar's next deployment, and it is his new idea to assign several tasks to Sakin in one go.
The tribe is preparing for war, and many things are not available to be handled by reliable people, and the combination of Sakin and Lexa, which wanders on the fringes of the tribal system, gives Thrall more options.
First, they don't have to be too constrained by daily cumbersome affairs and systems, and they can handle things more flexibly.
Second, they are not in the regular leadership of the tribe, and can deal with situations where they do not have to pursue a strict diplomatic system.
This kind of negotiation with the Kokar centaurs falls into this category, and it is obviously inappropriate for the Grand Chief of the Tribe to personally negotiate something with the Minotaur feud on behalf of the tribe.
"The Great Chief seems to be not ready to accept centaurs into the tribe for the time being, but he doesn't have the intention of going to war, he wants to maintain a relatively relaxed relationship."
Sakin's mind was getting more and more sophisticated, and through his conversations with Sal, he had gained insight into the Great Chieftain's attitude towards centaurs, but it seemed that it was not easy to realize this vision.
"It's good that the Great Chief has this attitude, at least he won't pursue the Kokar Centaur military operation against the Barren Land too much, otherwise the Centaur and the Horde will not have any eased relationship."
Sakin continued, and while he felt sorry for the tribal warriors who had been killed and wounded in the First Battle of the Barrens, the Kokar centaurs were also victims, both of whom were burdened by the ambitions of the Overseer Kromza.
Of course, the Horde can take this opportunity to impose severe sanctions on the Kokar Centaur, but the Centaur Clan is far more than just a branch of Kokar, and it is clear that behind this operation is the desire of the entire race.
"Looks like you've decided not to pursue it? Proper iron-blooded means might be more intimidating to these centaurs, wouldn't they? ”
Lexa disagreed with Sagin's thoughts, having traveled for many years and was well aware of the ferocity and bloodlust of the centaur races, which were clearly more powerful than reasonable.
"Nope! Of course, it must be investigated, not only to let the Kokar clan know the seriousness of the invasion of the tribe, but also to let all the centaur clans know that the end of using force against the tribe without authorization will be very serious. ”
Sakin is definitely not a cowardly guy, and of course he will not easily turn such a thing that violates the bottom line of the tribe into a small thing.
He was just thinking about how to fulfill Thrall's instructions, and he didn't want to see more fearless bloodshed.
"Looks like you've figured it out, what are you going to do?"
Thrall ordered Lexa and Sakin to go together to settle the centaur incident and negotiate with the Khan of the Kokar Centaur clan, apparently not to let him follow and see the end of the matter.
The combat power of the Beastmaster and his companions is a very powerful help for Sakin to complete this mission, and he is not afraid that the other party will not abide by the agreement when necessary.
"Lexa, do you think Hernu is fit to be an Overseer?"
Sakin suddenly asked Lexa a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the mission, since Hernu was only the son of the previous Overseer.
"Not quite right!"
Lexa is cheerful, he has always been more straightforward, although he agrees with Helmza's beliefs, and Hernu has inherited his father's will, but this has no direct connection with serving as a military commander.
Hernu still seemed too mild-mannered, and not decisive enough to take on the burden of being an Overseer.
"Do you think so too?"
Sakin felt the same way, but he couldn't imagine that Lexa would be so direct, and a few words would deny Hernu the possibility of being an Overseer.
"However, if he doesn't achieve a higher position in the Centaur Clan, his life may be difficult in the future, right?"
The troll was thinking about the centaur friend, and he also asked about the centaur clan before receiving Thrall's order to leave Orgrimmar on a mission.
Such a race that admires force will definitely not accommodate a compatriot who has betrayed before, let alone a fighting idiot whose status is not high.
"Then let's take him away! Otherwise, with his performance this time, he is likely to be killed by his compatriots! ”
Lexa's suggestion shocked Sakin, and this was exactly what he had come up with, taking Hernu from the Centaur Clan and traveling with him.
"Lexa, I think so too!"
Sakin didn't hide his thoughts, he felt that this might be the best disposition for Hernu, that it was important to be alive, and that he had to find out what his father was.
"So among the conditions of your negotiation, there is Hernu?!"
Lexa wasn't sure if Sakin had added a man's fate to the negotiations concerning the future of the Horde and the Centaurs, at least none of the previous emissaries had done so.
In many cases, individual gains and losses, or sacrifices, are not worth mentioning in the face of a multi-clan collective of races or tribes as a whole, but Sakin does not see it that way.
"Of course, he is a very important negotiating condition, and putting his fate in the hands of the tribe is likely to promote cooperation with centaurs in the future!"
Lexa didn't know what Sarkin's idea was, but it seemed that he had a full plan in mind.
"Do what you want! Misha and I will support you, and they will definitely not back down even if they want to fight. ”
The Beastmaster has come to regard Sakin as his partner, and in his understanding, the companions who have been recognized by him should fully support each other, which is also the tradition of the Orcs.
"Thank you, Lexa, you're the best guide for me besides Narro!"
It seems that Sakin not only regards Lexa as a companion, but also as his mentor, after all, the common experience during this time has indeed taught him a lot of knowledge and skills in the wilderness.
"That's right! Why don't you go directly to the Bleak Lands this time, but first go to the Taurazu camp in the South Barrens, is there something else? ”
Lexa was a little puzzled by the route Sakin had chosen, but the main performer of this mission was a troll, and he was only assisting from the sidelines, so he was not questioning but curious.
"The big chief said that there are strange ores over there that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the tribal warriors, let me go and see if I can reserve a large amount of them and add them to the war materials......"
Sakin came out to accept a mission this time that was much more than just an envoy to the Kokar Centaur Clan!
