Chapter Seventy-Eight: On the Complexity of Cooperation

Two weeks later, representatives of the Horde and the Alliance finally came together to discuss a true union. For the sake of fairness, the peace talks were chosen to be held on a small piece of high ground between Orgrimmar and the Alpine fort.

And, for security reasons, only a small number of representatives from both sides participated in the meeting.

On the part of the coalition, the delegation consisted of Dalin, Jean, Ares, Gianna, Egwen, and Reginald. The tribal delegation consisted of the brothers Saar, Kane, Woking, Itrig and Sarufar.

The meeting that decided the fate of Karimdor was attended by these twelve men. Because both sides have people who speak the other's language, there is no need for unnecessary translations for negotiations.

At the same time, since Ares and Gianna had already discussed the joint matter with Sal before, the meeting went relatively smoothly. Many issues have already been agreed upon, and it can be said that today's negotiations are just finalizing the final result. Still, it's just as important.

"We have the latest information on the swarm, the swarm that attacked Gakison before was just a small group of bugs that broke free from the seal, there are many of them, but that is only a fraction of this huge empire, at most a part of the fish that have slipped through the net. More bugs are trying to break through the seal, and they are burrowing out of the holes in the magic barrier in a way that may be more numerous than we can imagine. ”

At the Highland meeting, Ares was the first to stand up and speak. As a well-known figure on both sides, Ares does not have a large army like Dain, but he has a significant voice. It can be said that it was Ares who smashed the tribe and drove the alliance out of Karimdor, and it was Ares who facilitated the cooperation between the two sides......

"We have also learned the news, and now the question is what form of cooperation should be carried out."

Sal said calmly.

"The alliance is the mainstay, and the tribe obeys the command of the alliance."

Dai Lin said arrogantly on the side. But as soon as the words fell, they were opposed by the audience, and the tribe can be said to be sharpening their knives. Sarufar almost drew his axe and stood up, but Sal stopped him in time.

"Marshal Prodmore, put away your arrogance, the army of the tribe is larger than yours, if you have to compare one, I will take my people and accompany you to the end. But it doesn't make sense, as Ares said, our great enemy is now. This needs to be treated sensibly. ”

Sitting in his place, Thrall replied in standard human language. For a moment, Ares even felt that Daerin was more like a beast than Thrall...... But now is not the time to judge that. Sal's humility and courtesy were embraced and affirmed by the others present, and even Jean was silent. Obviously, everyone knew in their hearts that after the Battle of Orgrimmar, the strength of the Alliance was actually inferior to that of the Horde.

"I propose that our Grand Chieftain be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces."

Sarufar stepped forward and said in a high-pitched voice.

"If the Great Chief of the Tribes can be the commander of the coalition, then the commander of the alliance also has the power to lead the coalition."

Reginald was in trouble. There was a stalemate on the field, and it was true that Dalin and Sal were the most powerful to lead the army in terms of qualifications, but the status of both sides dictated that it was an unsolvable debate.

"Then I quit and let my warriors serve as the commander of the Kalimdor coalition forces. Varok. Sarufar, I believe in him. Sarufar has fought countless battles and, like me, fought in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, and after countless battles, he has not lost a single one. During the Battle of Mount Haier, when I found him, all his men were killed, and around him, there were layers of demon corpses. These are enough to prove his ability. ”

Sal continued.

"The ability to fight, not the ability to command."

But no sooner had Sal finished speaking than a mocking voice came. Jean sat down in his place and said coldly. Obviously, compared to Jean and Daelin, who were kings, Sarufar could only be regarded as a warrior at best, even if he had served as Orgrim's second-in-command commander, but for the people of the Alliance, the so-called commanders of the tribe could only be regarded as pointing out a direction of attack at most, and there was no skill at all.

They fought like a pack of wild beasts, roaring and screaming, picking up axes and hammers and rushing to fight. This is the first impression that humans have of orcs, and it is also a deeply ingrained impression.

"If we have to argue like this, this cooperation will not be completed."

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate again, Sal said in a deep voice.

"Sal, I have a suggestion."

At this point, Ares spoke.

The attention of the audience was once again focused. As mentioned before, although Ares does not have a large army, because both parties have an intuitive understanding of him, and the cooperation is made possible by the efforts of him and Gianna, when Ares speaks, everyone seems to pay more attention.

"Say it."

"Since it is impossible to elect the leader of the coalition forces, then simply command their own armies. Realistically, the conflict between the alliance and the tribe is not a matter of one or two days, even if we reach a consensus at the top to let someone lead this army, the people below will not be convinced, plus the difference in habits and cultures, if the tribe and the alliance are mixed, it will inevitably lead to new disputes. My opinion, each side led its own armies and attacked the temple of Angela. And Sal, you and I, we as the intermediary between the tribe and the alliance to pass on the signal. ”

In the center of the meeting room, Ares said reasonably. You can see that everyone present is frowning, this is not a very good suggestion, but it is a most realistic suggestion. As Ares himself said, the soldiers on both sides had different living habits, and the bitter hatred between the tribes and the alliance could not be eliminated in a short time, and marching and camping together would inevitably lead to new conflicts. In order to alleviate these troubles, they simply separated, each led its own army, and then joined forces in wartime to defend against the swarm.

Sal listened and nodded calmly. You can see that the old advisor next to him also turned his face sideways and whispered something to him.

The alliance is about to be reached.

"Well, I agree to such an arrangement."

After a brief discussion, Sal was the first to speak and say that he agreed with the proposal. Of course, for the alliance, it is also a hundred benefits and no harm. The proposal was quickly adopted.

At the same time, another question was brought to the table. That is the preparation of supplies. Marching into Angela is no easy task. Before the attack, it is necessary to prepare sufficient weapons, as well as supplies.

To put it simply, the army is fighting at the front, and how to continuously transport food from the rear to the front line is a top priority. Silisus is a barren desert where there is no food to be found without logistical food and water supplies. In other words, even if some food can be found, it will not be enough for the large legions.

However, whether it is the Alpine fortress of the Alliance or the Orgrimmar of the Horde, it is very far from the Angela Temple, and who is responsible for the delivery of these materials, or the proportion of the two sides, is also a big question worth debating......
