!!! Note: I still have 200-300 words left to finish and revise, and now the update just means that I updated it on Sunday, please download it again in an hour!!
The Lich King apparently knew what it looked like in the Alliance, so he didn't say any more nonsense, and said succinctly:
"I have been betrayed, a large part of the Scourge Legion was taken over by the Burning Legion a few months ago, so the Burning Legion is your common enemy."
"Akmund is now recuperating, and the Scourge and Burning Legion could launch a general assault at any time from late tonight until early tomorrow morning."
"My traitors, the Lich Reki Winterhan, and the Dreadlord Annetheron will be in charge of the Scourge Legion, while Akmund and his two lieutenants, Kazloga and Azgalor, will lead the Burning Legion in its attack."
"I know you've made a lot of preparations for this battle, but even so, your coalition forces are generally weak against the Scourge and the Burning Legion."
"I can give you information on the Lich Reki Winterhan, the Dreadlord Annatheron, the Doomsday Guard Kazloga, and the Dreadlord Azgalor, as well as the approximate deployment of tomorrow's forces, and I promise to give you a crucial chance to turn the tide of the war."
"Whenever you kill the Lich Reki Winterhan, a traitor, I will have a way to deal with Anatheron and take back control of the Scourge Legion, and the Scourge Legion that is back in my hands will strike back at the most critical moment and send the Burning Legion to the grave once and for all."
"This way you can reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and I can also take back control of the Scourge Legion, which is what I call a win-win offer."
After the Lich King's words fell, unexpectedly, a large number of words such as "liar", "trick" and "lie" poured into it, most of the people in the Great Tent did not believe the Lich King's words, of course, a small number of people fell into deep thought, the Lich King did not care, but turned his gaze to the human king, although Varian had a frosty face and was not kind to his eyes, but did not express his position, but stopped the words of other people and asked the herald to invite Gianna and Marshal Wendesor and Duke Sadonbrick to come to the Great Horde.
After Gianna and the two ministers arrived, Varian introduced the identity of the zombie and motioned to the Lich King to repeat what he had just said, these three people were all smart people, naturally they would not deal with one of the Lich King's puppet bodies, they were also puzzled and fell into deep thought, after a long time, Marshal Windsol was the first to ask the Lich King:
"You say you have been betrayed, what proof do you have?"
The Lich King quickly replied, "It's not the first time you've fought against the Scourge these days, haven't you noticed that the commander of the Scourge is not Arthas and the other undead, but various demons and the lich?" Do you also think that only that lich can command the battle under my Scourge Legion? ”
The name Arthas made both Varian and Gianna uncomfortable, but neither of them said it in front of the Lich King, and in response to the Lich King's words, Varian turned his gaze to Gianna, who was the most qualified to speak, and Gianna confirmed:
"Yes, during this month's battle, the undead army has always been under the command of the demons, and the dangerous forward and broken work is undertaken by the undead."
After receiving the confirmation, Varian did not continue the discussion, but said to the Lich King, "Tell me what you know." ”
When the Lich King said the demons' scheduled combat deployment and the information of the four commanders, several lieutenants did the recording work one after another, the information of the Lich King was very detailed, whether it was the type and detailed number of the demon undead army, the scheduled attack position, or the abilities and weaknesses of the four commanders, it was all sold out, after saying the information, the Lich King did not wait for the human reply and finally said:
"My sincerity is enough, it's up to you whether you accept this proposal or not, of course, if you are confident enough, you can also try it with the Scourges and the Burning Legion, believe me It will not be a wonderful experience."
As the words fell, the Lich King withdrew its consciousness from the zombie, and then the zombie that roared and wanted to bite everyone with its remaining head was taken out by a royal knight to deal with it, and everyone in the tent fell silent for a while, and Duke Satumbrick thought for a moment before speaking:
"Your Majesty, the Lich King's words are not true, and he wants to use us as his knife."
Varian nodded: "Of course I know that a large part of his words are lies, I'm afraid that after the Lich King regains control of the Scourge Legion, he will preserve his strength, depending on how we fight with the Burning Legion, if we lose both, the Lich King probably has the intention of eating all of us." ”
Marshal Wendthor also made a judgment after reading the information handed by the adjutant: "Your Majesty, according to my experience these days, this information is at least eighty percent sure that it is true, it seems that the Lich King is determined to betray this time, he is not afraid of ......." ”
Before Marshal Windsor finished speaking, he had already figured out why the Lich King was not afraid of humans to hype up the Lich King's betrayal, and Gianna also explained: "The demon is the most suspicious, and we won't believe it when we say that he betrayed the demons at this point in time." ”
Varian also took the information handed to him by Claudia, and after reading it, he said to Gianna: "The matter is very important, you should send other mages as soon as possible to invite the tribesmen, General Santis, and Lord Tyrande to discuss the matter." ”
"Wait, Your Highness." Gianna was about to leave, but Marshal Wendthor stopped Gianna's actions and said to Varian: "Your Majesty, maybe we can not share this important information with the tribe, so that the tribe's losses will be more serious. After all, they are not like the Night Elves, and they will not be our friends. ”
"How can this be?" Gianna obviously couldn't accept Marshal Wendsol's idea, but the latter said: "Your Highness, I am also thinking about you, in the future, your new city of Seramo will be next to the territory of the tribe, aren't you afraid that the tribe will retain too much strength and attack your city in the future?" ”
"We should try to live in harmony with the tribes, and defense and suspicion can only reap hatred."
"Your Highness, I have been fighting with the tribes for many years, and believe me, I know those tribes far better than you, and the fantasy of peace between you and the tribe can only be a short-lived dream."
"Don't talk about it yet, let me think about it." Varian raised his hand to stop the argument between the two, and after a moment of thought, he made a decision: "This matter cannot be hidden from the tribe. ”
Varian then explained to Marshal Wendthor, "Since the Lich King has found us, there is no guarantee that he has not sought out the Horde, and it is likely that it is wishful thinking to keep the Horde from knowing, and it is easy for them to be suspicious. The tribe was already a little ostracized, and this battle was on the front line of resistance, and if they were suspicious, they could have put up a little resistance, and then put the undead and demon armies on our defensive line to let us fight with the enemy. ”
"Although this information is true, I still suspect that this matter may be a conspiracy of the Lich King, if we and the Horde have been suspicious of each other because of this information, this battle will not be fought, after all, the reason why we have come all the way here is to defeat the Burning Legion, not to fight the Horde."
"Your Majesty, you're right, it's me who didn't take this layer into account." Field Marshal Windsor had already been persuaded by Varian.
"And, Gianna." Varian turned his gaze to Gianna on the side: "I thought about it, this time, in order to show Sal's sincerity, I should take someone to the gate of the tribal camp to greet him in person." ”
Gianna was visibly pleased with Varian's words, and then she sent a mage to inform Tyrande, and personally went to Sal to communicate, and Claudia followed Varian to meet Sal, Claudia asked Varian why his attitude towards the tribe had suddenly changed, and Varian denied the change in his attitude towards the tribe, and said bluntly:
"I still can't trust the tribe. But I don't want to have an additional misunderstanding with the Horde because of a few words from the Lich King, and there is no room for error in the outcome of tomorrow's decisive battle and the lives of my soldiers. ”
When Varian arrived at the gate of the tribal camp, Sal, who had already communicated with Gianna, walked out with Itrigue, the Brox, and a few guards, and Sal's attitude was obviously much better than yesterday when he came to greet Varian in person:
"Hello, Your Majesty Wrynn, thank you for coming to greet you in person."
Looking at Thrall, who was as polite as a human nobleman, Varian returned the same politeness: "Hello, Grand Chief Thrall, the Alliance will welcome you." ”
As the two began to be polite, they chatted with each other a lot, and their perceptions of each other changed a lot, and shortly after the two returned to the Alliance camp, General Santis and Tyrande arrived, and Varian then asked Gianna to use a spell to recreate the image and distribute the information recorded by the lieutenants.
