Chapter 633 [Who is the enemy, who is the friend]
Tonatiu sent Sara and the dragons away.
As for Kurtilas, Tonatiu didn't really care much about it. When Zandalar was invaded, Kurtiras did not send a single soldier, but the Kurtiras merchants fled at once.
Now that it was Kurtilas' turn to suffer, many of the Zandalar trolls heard that the God-King might lead a golden fleet to support, and even though Tonatiu was now extremely prestigious, some of the trolls objected.
For example, the troll wife of Tonatiu, and Her Royal Highness Tarangi, who is also a princess and queen.
"Ever since humans appeared on that island, they've been hating Zandalara! If it weren't for the fact that Zandalar had a golden fleet, maybe they would have fought a long time ago! ”
"When Zandalar was at its most dangerous, they evacuated all the merchants. Did they send someone, even if it was just one?! ”
"It's okay to rescue the dragons or the Night Elves, Zandalar owes them! But to rescue the humans of Kul Tiras, I am the first to object! ”
At the Zanshuli Council of the Giants' Seal, Tarangi, who sat beside Tonatiu, spoke loudly to the trolls below.
It's just that when she said these words, she had been paying attention to Tonatiu's expression, and it seemed that she was very concerned about the reaction of the God King.
In fact, selfishly, Tonatiu didn't want to help Kurtilas at all, even if Sara was the princess of Kurtilas.
Sara is an escaped princess who lives incognito on the trolls, and apart from Tonatiu and a few trolls, only her sailors know her true identity. Because of this, Sara didn't contribute at all when it came to the relationship between the trolls and Kurtilas.
And to save Kurtilas, on the surface, it seems that there is nothing to gain from other than the favor of some humans.
Therefore, whether it is from the point of view of feelings, selfishness, or superficial benefits, the fact that the Golden Fleet proposed by Tonathiu to rescue Kurtiras is not beneficial to the Zandalar trolls at all.
So it's no wonder that after the Loa incident, Tarangi, who became obedient to Tonatiu, stood up to resist and had a very resolute attitude.
Having said that, Tonatiu knew that the Golden Fleet had to go on this expedition.
Regardless of selfishness and feelings, there are also benefits on the surface. This time the Golden Fleet was able to go out to save Kurtilas, which actually outweighed the disadvantages of Zandalara.
If the Golden Fleet were able to go on the expedition, it would at least gain a lot of favor from the dragons and Cadore, and the trolls' new "firstborn son" argument would make it easier for other races to approve of it in the future.
In addition to this, there is also a huge unseen benefit - the possible creation of Azeroth Star Souls, and the increase in the favorability of trolls.
Strategically, the terrain of Kurtilas is very important. The orcs now occupy the area, and if they master the art of sea navigation and shipbuilding, the enemies of these trolls will also be a threat to Zandalara.
Looking at the agitated Tarangi, and the disapproving Zandalar trolls below, Tonatiu took a breath.
He knew that with his current prestige and power, if he insisted on going his own way, the Zandalar trolls could only do it now. Even if Zur was against it, he could not disobey his will.
Because the Loas were almost superficially subservient to him, the God-King was now known as the "King of Loa" among the trolls of Dasaro.
The Zandalar Troll Empire, dominated by Loa and honored by sacrifice. If you can influence Loa, you can also affect all the Zandalar trolls, and if you give an order, it is useless for the priests to disagree.
Even so, Tonatiu still didn't want to be a tyrant, at least on the surface, he still wanted to act like a wise man.
As the leader of the world's eldest son, Tonatiu, who has added himself the title of spokesman for Azeroth, does not want the hat of tyrant to be fastened on his head.
Anyway, he had a way of convincing the trolls.
"Your Majesty!" After getting married, Tarangi stopped calling him the King of the Desert, and finally began to call him "Your Majesty" instead. "Zandalar has lost a lot in the war, and we need to give birth and rest."
Tarangi was right, the Trolls of Zandalar had suffered heavy casualties in this orc war. Although it has awakened the blood courage of the ancestors, and looking at the exaggerated animal and plant performances around Dasaro in the past two months, it is obvious that Ai-chan has refocused on this place.
Even with these unseen benefits, it will take several years for the Zendalar Empire to regain its pre-war strength, at least until the younger generation of trolls grows up.
Emotionally, Tonathius didn't want to help, but intellectually he knew that the Golden Fleet had to go on a journey.
So after Tarangi's heated speech, Tonatiu spoke.
"I've been thinking about it all this time." Tonatiu's voice was soft, but such a light voice still made the trolls hear the sonorous sound of gold and iron in it.
"Why did the old Zur Empire fail? Why are trolls getting worse and worse after so many years? Why have so many generations of previous kings of the Zandalar Empire wanted to regain the glory of the Zur Empire, but they never succeeded? ”
"A lot of whys."
Tonatiu looked at the trolls with a smile: "Maybe everyone has the answer in their hearts, maybe these answers are different. ”
"After thinking about it for so long, I think I've finally figured out why." Tonatiu looked at Zur, who had stood below, at the front of the troll door, and had not spoken.
He continued, "I now believe that the trolls want to reclaim the Zur Empire and return to the glory of the world's firstborn. The most important thing is to find out who is the enemy and who is the friend! ”
"Who are the enemies of the trolls? Who are the troll's friends? Past efforts to revive the Troll Empire have had little success, and the basic reason for this is the inability to unite true friends against real enemies. ”
"The kings of Zandalar over the ages, and even all the troll kings and chieftains for thousands of years, have not figured this out! So all the trolls on the planet now can only cower in forests, ice fields, deserts and sand dunes, survive in secret, or live like kobolds! ”
"The kings are the trolls' guides, and if they go the wrong way, the trolls can't be on the right path. And the kings went the wrong way because they never figured out who was the real friend and who was the real enemy! ”
Speaking of this, Tonatiu couldn't help but stand up. His majestic body compared to Tarangi suddenly made her look up to see his expression.
"Who is the real enemy of the trolls?! Is it the Cadore who once destroyed the Troll Empire and drove us out of the core of the world? Or are they the other races that have oppressed us for countless years? ”
"For example, the humans who oppressed Gulabash in the Valley of Thorns, the High Elves who oppressed Dhakale in the Northern Rift, the High Elves who oppressed Amani in Zuaman, and the harsh climate of Falaki in Tanaris?"
"Zur!" Tonatiu suddenly called out the name of the prophet in a loud voice. "Do you think these are the real enemies of the trolls?"
The trolls in the palace were sealed by the giants, and their eyes were suddenly on the old prophet.
Zur, who had not spoken, opened his mouth with two huge fangs and replied to the God-King, "I think so." ”
"That's right! They are our enemies! ”
