Chapter 45: The Alliance of Mountains and Seas
After listening to Medivan's lonely words, everyone present had different reactions after hearing them.
Tyrande and Malfurion's faces were calm and noncommittal, they naturally did not trust Medivan when they first met each other.
Sal recovers from the shock, but he still looks at Medivan with respect, no matter what Medivan has done before, but he has always been right to guide Sal.
Gianna looked sympathetic and tried to defend the other party: "Medivan, Kenrito has already found out what happened back then, and it is not your fault. ”
Claudia had wanted to let go of the king's left arm when she saw Varian drop her weapon, but she found that although his face was still frosty, his teeth creaked, and it was clear that his hatred had not been diminished much by Medivan's words.
I didn't expect Varian to hate Medivan so much, it seems that he has to continue to watch him, but this time he is so close to him in front of so many royal knights, it seems that there will be rumors everywhere after he goes back this time.
The girl sighed softly in her heart, and continued to hug Varian's left arm, but heard Varian next to her suddenly sneer and sneered unceremoniously:
"You just said you're going to turn the wrong thing back on the right track?"
"Then send the tribe to the original world, those orcs are the biggest mistake you have done!"
"Betrayer!"
After hearing Varian's sword-like words, Tyrande continued to look at Medivan as usual, Gianna frowned and looked a little headache, and Thrall was about to speak with a flash of anger on his face.
Claudia turned her gaze to Medivan with some apprehension, fearing that it would break out again, but she was soon relieved when she saw Medivan's expression, and his eyes were filled with guilt.
"Varian, I'm ashamed of Ryan, Lothar, and you, for losing your parents at a young age, ruining your family, and being displaced, and it's understandable that you hate me." Medivan bent down slightly, apologized sincerely, Varian snorted coldly and turned his head sideways, but his face was much better than just now, and Medivan's words continued:
"But it's not just you, countless orcs died in the last war because of me, and they also lost their homes."
"Now that your kingdom has been rebuilt and the tribe has a new home of its own, now is the time to defend our home against the Burning Legion."
Varian looked at Medivan again, his thoughts churning, and although there was still no warmth in his eyes, the chill had also receded considerably.
Although he regarded Medivan as the source of all misfortunes, he also knew that Medivan was controlled and betrayed by the demon back then, and the anger just now was more of an instinctive outburst of hatred for the other party for several years, and his sanity had returned after the other party apologized, although this did not mean that he forgave the other party, but he would not continue to deal with Medivan on this occasion.
In the end, Varian was expressionless and said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things, Medivan. Remember, if you have any more plots, I will send you to the grave again. ”
Medivan then looked past Gianna and Thrall to Tyrande and Malfurion, "I am the raven you have dreamed of these days. ”
Tyrande looked surprised: "It turns out that the prophet is you, and I always thought that a new god of the wilderness was guiding me. ”
Malfurion was also curious, and he and Tyrande began to ask about certain things about Medivan.
Varian didn't continue to care what they said, but looked down at his lieutenant, his left arm was still tightly held in Claudia's arms, and Varian's gaze softened: "Claudia, let me go." ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I ......." Seeing that Varian was back to normal, Claudia quickly let go of her hand and tried to apologize, but Varian stopped her words and said, "It's okay, I'll talk about it when I go back today." ”
After a few more words with Tyrande and Malfurion, Medivan managed to gain the trust of the two Night Elf leaders, and then he said to everyone: "I have not much ancient power left from Karazhan, and I can't help you buy time anymore, Akmund will personally launch a general attack in two or three days, you had better study how to coordinate the defense and how to fight Akmund." ”
The name Akmund has made those who have seen his power deeply jealous, especially Tyrande and Malfurion, who fought against it in the War of the Ancients, they know the horror of Akmund, Akmund and Manolos's combat power is completely two levels, even the strongest of the five guardian dragons, Nesario, once couldn't beat it one-on-one, in the current situation where the demigods of the wilderness have fallen silent and the guardian dragon has disappeared, how to fight Akmund.
"Prophet, can you fight against Akmund?" Malfurion asked, looking at Medivan expectantly.
"If I could, twenty years ago, I'm certainly not a match for it now." Medivan shattered Malfurion's hopes.
Malfurion fell into deep thought.
"I've got the message I need to get across, so I'm leaving, and I'll be back when necessary."
Medivin said goodbye to the crowd and refused to stay, and after glancing in Varian's direction again, he turned into a raven and flew away.
In the following time, there was another short meeting, in which Tyrande and Malfurion, although they were not as close to Sal and Broxas as they were to the Alliance, had a decent attitude, but Varian and Sal were obviously not dealing with each other, not only did they not talk to each other, but they never even gave each other a good look, Gianna has been trying to make peace with both sides in the middle, but the effect is obviously not great.
The meeting ended soon after, with only a brief discussion on how to deploy the defenses, and it was decided that the Alliance and the Horde would each retreat their defenses to the middle of Mount Hyjal first, so that the Night Elves could be reinforced in time, and the rest of the battle and counter against Akmund would be discussed the day after tomorrow.
After the meeting, Claudia was about to step down from the high platform with Varian and Gianna, but saw Sal and Broxs walking towards her and Varian, facing the approaching tribal leader, Varian pressed his hand on the sword with a serious and somewhat wary face and said, "Don't get any closer, the great chief of the tribe, I don't welcome you here." ”
"I don't like you either, the king of men." Thrall said in a deep voice, "And I'm not looking for you, I'm just looking for Gianna to catch up with the human girl next to you." ”
Faced with Sal's invitation, Gianna naturally politely agreed, and then she turned her eyes to the other two.
Varian frowned, he naturally heard who Thrall was looking for, but to be honest he didn't trust the orcs now, he looked at Claudia beside him, and the girl looked up to meet his inquiring gaze and replied softly: "Your Majesty, I believe in them, but I am your adjutant, and I listen to your decision." ”
Varian didn't refuse: "Don't take too long, we're going to leave soon." ”
"I will, my majesty."
Claudia followed Gianna and said a few words to Sal and Brox, she had helped the tribe a lot in the purification of the War Song Orcs and the killing of Manolos, and she had been missing for some time ago, so it was not until today that Sal found an opportunity to thank her in person, and after a few simple polite words, Claudia said goodbye to Sal:
"I'm sorry, Great Chief, I have to go back to my king, he won't allow me to stay too long."
Gianna also smiled and said goodbye after hearing Claudia's words: "Sal, let's stop here today, you also go back to prepare for the evacuation first." ”
Thrall glanced at the human king not far away, and did not hold on, but said to Claudia: "I have no intention of being an enemy of your king, I hope he will be the same, and Gianna and you are my friends, and I will remember what you have done for my people, goodbye, two ladies." ”
"Honorable Great Chief, please believe me, Your Majesty he has no intention of attacking the Horde, goodbye."
Claudia and Gianna returned to Varian's side, he was using this time to chat with the owners of the place, Tyrande and Malfurion, and saw that after the two returned, the humans also said goodbye to the Night Elves, and before leaving, Gianna also asked Malfurion for a few bottles of new moon well water.
After leaving the Night Elves' location, Claudia quickly returned to the station with Varian and the others, Gianna took the well water to find the other archmages to study together, and Claudia began to assist the king and other lieutenants with some official business.
In the current situation, the most important thing is to withdraw the army to the middle of the Hyjal Mountains to facilitate mutual support with the Night Elves, Varian after consulting with the other officers, one after another orders were issued from the king's tent, the officer of Seramo, Gaeran, led a part of the Seramo soldiers to immediately set off to reserve a position, and began to carry out simple construction of a new camp, as for the front camp, Varian has ordered Marshal Wendsol to abandon the defensive line, and withdraw the soldiers to the rear in batches to merge and rearm with him.
The current camp will not be abandoned today, but will become a simple transit point, where some soldiers will spend the night tonight, and Varian will spend another night in the camp and wait until tomorrow to leave for a new camp.
It was a lot of work, so Claudia spent the rest of her time busy when she returned, assisting Varian and the other lieutenants with orders, dispatching troops, arranging logistics, etc., and when the business was almost done, it was already dark and she realized that it was night.
I haven't got my luggage back yet, I have to evacuate tomorrow morning, and there is no need to find someone to help me set up another tent, so I'll go to His Royal Highness Gianna for another night.
The girl thought so, but heard Varian beside her say to the other two lieutenants: "Devon, Arthur, you go back first, you have worked hard today." ”
Wait, why don't you have my name? I'm tired, too.
After the other two retreated, Claudia looked at Varian expectantly, who met her gaze and said with a smile, "As for you, I have to think about how to punish you for your misconduct in the morning." ”
