Chapter 44: The Alliance of Mountains and Seas
Faced with the hostility of the Night Elves' side, Thrall and Blox quickly raised their weapons to be on guard, Medivan still hid his face under the cloak, he raised his hand to stop Thrall and Brooks' movements, and an old voice came from under the cloak: "This is the temple of the Guardian of Peace and the shelter of the Holy Spirit Malorn, any living being is qualified to worship it, do you want to use force against the creatures who come to worship it under the idol of the Guardian of Peace?" ”
Unmoved by Medivan's words, Tyrande still raised his bow and said coldly, "If it is a peace-loving being, we will naturally welcome it, but these orcs not only cut down indiscriminately in the Gray Valley, but also killed the son of the white deer god. ”
Medivan's old voice continued: "Venerable High Priest, you and I both know that Cenarius actually died at the hands of Manolos, and the tribe also participated in the killing of Manolos and atoned for his sins, not to mention that Cenarius did not really die, did he?" ”
Tyrande's face softened slightly: "Even if the culprit is Manolos, the tribe can't say that there is no responsibility, what are they doing in front of the white deer god statue?" ”
"Sal, tell the High Priest what you mean." Medivan looked at Sal beside him.
And Thrall took the initiative to step forward and saluted: "Honorable High Priest, I am the son of Durotan and the current Grand Chief of the tribe, Sal, we are now also a member of this world, and I want to do my part to defend this world. ”
Thrall's behavior changed Tyrande's original bad perception of the tribe a little, and the old orc beside Thrall didn't know why she could be trusted, so Tyrande's hostility quickly decreased, but she didn't answer immediately, but withdrew her bow and waved her hand, and all the members of the Night Elf Guard also brushed away their longbows.
Malfurion turned to Tyrande and said, "Tyrande, I think it's acceptable for them to join the ranks of defending the World Tree, we have seen the combat effectiveness of demons and undead, and it is always good to have more strength." ”
"Yes, Thrall and his tribesmen have been fighting against the Burning Legion and the Scourge Legion, and just yesterday they repelled another undead attack, and the pressure would have increased without their help." A clear voice also persuaded that it was Gianna who had worked well with Sal during this time.
"He's the Great Chief of the Tribe, Sal? It seems to be a lot more hypocritical than the other orcs. Varian listened to the conversation of the others and asked Claudia beside him, and he looked at Thrall coldly, as if he was thinking about how to kill the orc as quickly as possible.
Claudia, of course, knew what Varian's perception of orcs was, she looked at Varian's expression with some concern, and tried to persuade: "Yes, Your Majesty, he is Thrall, as far as I know, Thrall is an orc with wisdom and peace, and there is no need for us to have a conflict with him at the moment of the great enemy." ”
"Hmph, orcs who like peace?" Varian first sneered disapplaudively, then he noticed the slightly nervous expression of the girl next to him and then said, "Don't worry, although I don't trust the orcs, I won't settle accounts with the tribe now, you have to trust your king." ”
Also, although Varian has not continued to support each other with the tribe in the week since he came to Hyjal Mountain, he has not had a conflict with the tribe, so it means that he must also know the overall situation, not to mention that we are now guests of the Night Elves, he is familiar with diplomatic etiquette, and it is impossible to dominate the crowd, my concern is indeed a bit unnecessary.
"It was my mistake, I should have believed you, Your Majesty." Claudia apologized softly.
"It's okay." The coldness on Varian's face dissipated a lot after noticing the girl's apology, although his hatred for the tribe was still deep, but he was a person who put the interests of the country first, and in the case that the tribe had already run to Camlido to develop, not only did he not need to fight with the tribe in the current situation, but in the future, if he had to, there was no need to cross the endless sea to another continent to consume his country's financial resources and soldiers' lives to take the initiative to attack the tribe.
Varian turned his gaze back to the conversations of the other leaders, only to see that after a few more conversations, Tyrande had been persuaded by Malfurion and Gianna, she had experienced the battle of the ancients 10,000 years ago, and knew the horror of the Burning Legion, not to mention that this time the Burning Legion also added the helper of the Scourge Legion this time, which is really difficult to deal with, and the large number of casualties of the Night Elves these days proves this, if the tribe is willing to contribute to reduce the pressure and casualties of the Night Elves, then Tyrande will naturally not refuse, There are also good reasons to convince other people.
Varian also noticed the change in Tyrande's attitude, but he was not at all worried that the Night Elves would join the tribe, he knew the tribe too well, the tribe was not only completely different from the Night Elves, but also the contradictions between the orcs who needed to grab the living space in Camlido and the Night Elves who were the old masters of Camrydo would intensify sooner or later, and there was no possibility of long-term cooperation at all, if the Burning Legion was resolved, it was estimated that it would not be long before the Night Elves and the Orcs would be able to fight again.
"Your Majesty, what do you think about working with the Horde?" Seeing that Varian had not spoken for a long time, Tyrande took the initiative to ask.
"I have no opinion on this war alone." Varian said, motioning for the royal knights to let their guard down.
Seeing that the human leader had no objections, Tyrande then invited Sal and the other three to say, "We will not refuse the forces that want to participate in the defense of the World Tree, and please elaborate on it." ”
Thrall and the others then approached, and Varian turned his attention to Thrall again, but then he noticed a suspicious situation, the two orcs had been following the cloaked human, as if he was the leader.
Who was the cloaked human, who looked like a mage, and how did the human mage get mixed up with the orcs? And to be able to stop the arrogant orcs? Wait, isn't he?
Thinking of this, Varian suddenly became furious, and he no longer cared about the occasion, drew his sword and pointed at the man in the cloak: "Take off your cloak, wizard, don't hide your head again, face me with dignity!" ”
Tyrande didn't care about Varian's faux pas, she was equally curious about who the man in the cloak was, and knew a lot about the secrets.
Thrall's expression tightened, and the cloaked figure pressed Thrall and let out a sigh, then he removed his cloak, and a thin figure with a gray beard appeared, with a look of guilt on his face: "Varian, son of Ryan, you guessed it, I'm Medivan." ”
"Good, Medivan." Varian's anger was blazing, and the muscles and muscles on his face were jumping uncontrollably, "You are mixed with the tribe again, and you still have the guts to appear in front of me, although I don't know how you survived, but it seems that you need to die again, today, justice will be served!" ”
Claudia didn't expect Varian's attitude to be so fierce after seeing Medivan, but it was not an occasion for a battle at all, whether she could win Medivan or not, once she was a guest in front of the white deer god statue, what would the night elves think, not to mention that she had heard Gianna talk about Medivan, and Medivan had no evil deeds after reappearing and had been trying her best to resist the Burning Legion, so seeing that Varian was about to rush forward, she directly hugged Varian's left arm and pleaded:
"Your Majesty, don't do it, I know you're angry, but please don't let anger cloud your sanity."
"Let go of me! Adjutant! Varian yelled at the girl and tried to withdraw his arm.
Although Varian's roar made Claudia a little frightened, she hugged his left arm and said resolutely: "I won't let go, Your Majesty, if you have to do something to release your anger, hit me a few punches to relieve it." ”
Varian twitched his arm again and didn't pull it back, and he wasn't the character to be angry with a woman after all, so in desperation, he put down his sword with his hateful right hand.
At this time, Gianna also appeared next to him, but the words of admonition were completely different from Claudia: "Varian, pay attention to the occasion, we are here to form an alliance with the Night Elves, you are the king, and the overall situation must be the priority." ”
The big picture, and the big picture.
Gianna's words made Varian a little helpless, and his anger subsided a lot, and he turned to Tyrande and said, "I'm really sorry High Priest, I have a personal grudge against this man. ”
"It's okay, Your Majesty Wrynn, I want to know who this person is." Tyrande said he didn't mind and asked.
Varian then pointed his finger at Medivan in hatred: "He is Medivan, an existence that my father regarded as a brother and trusted deeply, but he not only betrayed my father, but also introduced the tribe into this world, and finally my father and countless soldiers and people of the Eastern Kingdom died tragically because of it!" ”
Tyrande and Malfurion turned their heads to look at Medivan, and even Thrall and Broxs looked at Medivan in disbelief, only then did they know that Medivan was the human who was in charge of connecting with Gul'dan and opening the Dark Gate, in the last war, the human race suffered heavy losses, and the orcs were not the last ten tribesmen who crossed the Dark Gate, and even the original world of the orcs Draenor exploded because of the Dark Gate.
Medivan looked at Varian with a look of remembrance and guilt on his face, and listened to Varian's accusations against him, and after everyone looked at him, he admitted: "He is right, I was one of the guardians of this world, and it was I who brought the orcs into this world, and I committed a crime because of this, and was killed by my friends and students, and the war between the orcs and humans has lasted for many years. Now, I'm back to defeat the Burning Legion and turn back on the right path what I did wrong. ”
