Because of the war, almost all the inhabitants gathered on the island of Theramore and Kukaz, and with the end of the war, the winter did not disperse, but the area near the coast of the dust swamp can still attract some residents to engage in farming, but most of them, especially the residents with surplus food, have not left Theramore, and it is true that only one island of Salamo, it is absolutely no problem to carry more than 200,000 people in addition to the people and horses, especially many supporting facilities tend to be perfect in Salamo, but this also greatly restricts the development of other areas.

Originally, the northern fortress and nearby places were inhabited, and if I wanted to hold on to so many territories, there must be inhabitants, so I had to think about whether my policy should be changed, such as how to guide the inhabitants here.

I asked Egwen for my opinion, and she gave me a good idea of that.

"Only when the facilities are in place can the residents come back here. In the past, no one went to Theramore because the infrastructure there was not perfect, and it is the same now, if we continue to simply strengthen the infrastructure of Theramore, this trend will only be more obvious, so according to our current situation, it is better to focus on the Northern Fortress..."

"So, it didn't happen overnight. ”

"Theramore is not the center of the geographical location, although it is very comfortable to live in, but if you want to control the overall situation, you still have to build the Northern Fortress, but it will be difficult, if you throw away the threat of the Horde, then the Northern Fortress is indeed a good place"

"I'll think about it... Perhaps this is a big burden. I said this hesitantly, and indeed I did not know in my heart the necessity of doing so, after all, as far as the happiness of the people is concerned, there is nothing wrong with the current situation. It's just that so much territory has been wasted, and now that I think about it, I really don't need to think about the more land I claimed in the war mediation. But while I was thinking about it, Egwene gave me a good piece of advice:

"If we can strengthen our contacts with the tribes, it may be easy, and when the trade is good, the people will propose to repair the northern forts, so that everything will be in order. ”

I nodded my head when I heard this, she was right, and indeed her insight and guidance were clearly more than just her experience in magic...

We continued to inspect our surroundings in the darkness of the night, and Egwene's magic continued to see through the darkness of the ground in the air, after surveying some of the supply difficulties reflected in the recital. We teleported to the north of the Oasis of Mansheng, which is the northernmost camp of about 500 people, where we can clearly see that this place is indeed completely different from other desert lands, full of life, abundant water resources, very suitable for living, and the soldiers here live in much better conditions than soldiers in other desert areas, at least they do not have to be troubled by wind and sand and difficult supplies.

We then teleported to the middle of the oasis, where we were separated from the tribe. Here I found out that our border region is indeed a good place for trade and distribution, and I even suspect that the Night Elves have arranged everything during the truce, but it is also the case, I feel that I have nothing to refuse, maybe I should really let Tyranforin hurry up and try it, and I think that after we have purchased all the commodity food of the Night Elves in the Filas region, I do have a certain amount of bargaining chips. So I started to plan for trade in my heart.

Of course, sensing my own information, we had to look elsewhere, so Egwene and I went to the border of the tribes to the north. And secretly teleported to some tribal areas, after a brief investigation I concluded that the situation of the tribe was already more difficult than ours as I thought, I also slowly planned some of my own plans and policies in my heart, yes, although we are in the war, my more than 200,000 people are far from being tribal opponents, but I believe that I will fight them in politics and trade.

After a whole night of action, I have an idea of what is going on outside. By the time we returned to the command post, it was already tomorrow morning, and although I was probably exhausted, I didn't have any intention of resting, but immediately began to work on the development of plans for the various stages of trade with the tribes, the construction of the northern fortress, and the development of mining and iron smelting.

As for Egwene, she may be too tired, or maybe for some other reason, she didn't stay here, but wanted to go back to her mage tower immediately and continue her duties...

I wanted to persuade the old mage to go to the Night Elf's room to rest, but she insisted on returning to her post, after all, this is the only time she will cherish the present time, and I wanted to keep her for a while by discussing the matter of strategy, but she still refused, she thought that such a thing would be more appropriate to leave to Maite Wynne.

"Maybe you should think about Sally, maybe soon she will prove that she can prove that she can prove that she is as good as Mavi, her loyalty to you is unquestionable, she is only very young, and her family is ruined, and in a family with strong traditional concepts, she is different from Gianna in that she does not have a small team like you to support her, maybe her joining will be more conducive to her growth, and loyalty to you and hope for herself"

At first, I wanted to laugh at Egwene's teaching tone, laughing at Egwen's evaluation of Lisa, yes, I don't deny that she has extraordinary abilities, but Mavi's absolute strength makes me realize that this possibility is extremely low. But as she continued, I realized that I had indeed overlooked something. I couldn't help but ponder about this, and at this time the two priestesses of Mavi also affirmed Egwen's statement and told me a piece of news.

"Lisa had been here in the morning, but had gone again, and I could tell she was worried about you. ”

"I see" Hearing this, I completely understood, and indeed for Mattwyne, it was enough to be grateful to be able to join me like many young Silver Hands at that time, instead of following the instructions of his superiors to stay in Lordaeron, and besides, they were almost all wiped out. So even if I don't recognize that she will have the strength that Mavi can match, then I have to believe in her loyalty, and the same treatment and hope for her. "Maybe I'm really wrong, I know what to do. ”

Egwene knew my purpose, she opened a portal and teleported here and left, and after a dozen seconds, Maitwyne walked out, and the portal vanished. And I didn't have any scruples about taking her into my arms, yes, maybe I shouldn't have paid attention to some false name and lived up to the existence of those who expected me. The sudden act made the two priestesses evade, and Maitwyne was stunned as well as enjoying the moment she had hoped for.

"Maybe it's time for me to reveal who you are. ”

She was surprised and delighted at my statement.

"But I don't have the ability to show yes, I'm not strong enough. ”

"It doesn't matter, I, Gianna, Mavi, will help you get stronger together, and there are others, maybe I should have done it a long time ago. ”

Mattwynne was thrilled by what I had said, she was so close to me that I had nothing to say about it, and I knew what I deserved, or what I could bring her.

But for now, I don't have much time to waste. Hurry up with Maitwynne to carry out my plan, and while we're busy, I've called Tyran to give some diplomatic assignments and other things.

Tyran arrived at noon, and according to Mattwyne, they had some crossovers before, so I was glad to keep him for lunch with the two Night Priestesses, and to give an account of his work in this way, and it was really in harmony as I imagined, and the two of them talked about each other a lot, and I learned a little bit about them, such as some other things about the Silver Hand and some of the characters, even though they were probably dead。

Yes, as the most trusted and powerful force of his father's guard, the Silver Hand is at the mercy of the hand. As a former member, I don't really know much about the daily life of this unit. After all, I have always devoted my energy to forming my own new army, and I simply realized that I would be able to fully inherit this loyal army in the future, so I did not get close to some veterans except Uther.

Perhaps I should have put more effort into increasing my influence there and elevating my status in their hearts, rather than bypassing them and simply contacting a group of paladins my age. So that more fighters will come here.

However, I quickly dismissed this idea, as I realized that the young paladins who had followed me were all but wiped out, and that it might be better for most of the Silver Hand to stay in Lordaeron or flee to Stormwind.

I cannot help but grieve at the thought of the dead warriors of Mount Hyjal, and it just so happened that at this time of my distraction, the two of them each made some of their own understandings, that there must be many old soldiers and inhabitants entrenched in Lordaeron, and that we should take advantage of this time to bring them back to us at once.

I was in my heart rejecting this suggestion, but in order to have a clear reason, I had to bring up a very real threat to us. I said that I was worried that I would stay in control in order to convince them of my reasons, and I told them about my experience of becoming an undead, and told them about my return to Kul Tiras and Fenna's golden sword to seize power, to justify my own reasons for not doing it first.

Of course, this is all to cover up the fact that most of the people who stayed behind were more extreme and not loyal to me, because if they were loyal to me, they would definitely follow Gianna to Kalimdor Continent, and the extreme was because they did not go to Stormwind or were not accepted by Stormwind. Perhaps Varian didn't go north to support them, and he must have had that in mind.

And I can't take this concern out of the table, so I can only prevaricate them with the words in front of me, after all, we need loyalty now, and this best opportunity is loyalty to me, which is very important to me, and I don't even care about his origin and race, even if I know any demon or undead that I hate, as long as he is loyal to me, I will treat him and ordinary people.

And this is something I realized after experiencing this invasion of the Burning Legion, Akmund's death was not so much killed by us as by his brother, and the troops that the Demon King really trusted were those otherworldly creatures who had been transformed into demons in the worlds he had conquered, or creatures that had not yet had time to transform, not Eredar or other demons of his own race at all. Of course, there are many such examples, and perhaps it is precisely because of my experience of turning from a prince to a ghost that I am returning to the king that I realized this truth. Of course, this understanding cannot be shared with them.

They were a little silent about my claim, apparently not fully convincing them, but the two priestesses rounded me up, and they proposed Mavi's plan to set foot in Lordaeron's homeland in Kurtilas, but I knew that the plan was only to go to the Silver Pines Forest and collect the giant trees to build ships, not the purpose of the survey as they had explained.

In order not to continue to deceive them, at this time I even announced an order that I would include Maitwyne. The excited Mattwynne and the surprised Tyran were still surprised, compared to the fact that Mattwyn didn't know that Tyran might be surprised that I would make such a coercive order, but looking at the excited and very reluctant Mattwyne, he seemed to understand something, and under the reminder of the two night priestesses, he joined them to bless Mattwyne, and the etiquette that a princess should have.

She quickly helped Tyran and the two priestess sisters up, but he was a little confused at this time, maybe some rumors about Renault and something else, fortunately he didn't mention it, but in order to make up for his doubts, he still said a knowing.

"But why did you tell me alone?"

"I'm just asking you to pass this information on to your father, I hope to get his consent, you know, there are some things that are not necessarily easy to talk to him, to be honest, my behavior is somewhat contrary to the desire for female possession, and it may make him angry again. ”

I said this, in fact, there is another purpose, which is to change the subject, and I will not say the same, but to my surprise, Tyran's answer surprised me a little:

"Maybe not, my father also hoped that Maite Wynne would have a good home, but he didn't expect it to be you, and this is the fulfillment of his old man's wish. ”

"Honestly, Lisa owes me a lot to be able to follow me here, and I don't want to leave her alone in a difficult situation. And I do want to get you, get all of you. ”

"It's my pleasure," said Matt Wynne, who was even more agitated, and we got into the other topics rather than going into the things I didn't want to talk about.

I can talk to Mattwynne about these things that I don't want to mention, but I have Tyran, the son of Fordin, near me, and I don't want to let my acquaintance affect his impression of me, that is, I don't want him to doubt my loyalty. So it's better to show my will directly, that is, to tell him directly about my relationship with Mattwyne. Otherwise, if others are aware of it, it may be even more detrimental to my image at that time, after all, he is not exactly my cronies.

And it just so happened that almost all of my cronies were in Kul Tiras, that is, Gianna. But when I think of Gianna, I really don't know what to say, after all, I still did so many things behind her back. Although she was able to forgive me, I must have felt more guilty in my heart. And it was at this time that Tyran asked a question that made me feel embarrassed:

"Does Queen Gianna know?"

But just as I didn't know what to say, the two priestesses, who had been silent, spoke, and they made arrangements for Queen Gianna, and brought me a letter that had granted Mattwyn, like a formal decree of appointment, with Mavi's behind Gianna's signature. I seemed to understand something, and I knew that it was clearly not just this one document she had left for the priestess, but I thought it was enough.

"But the real canonization will have to wait until they return, after all, they are still in Kurtiras. ”

"I understand, Your Majesty, that when the time comes, I will follow the arrangements of the Queen and Princess Mavi. ”

There, and because of Tyran's arrival, it seemed that my idea of staying overnight at Maitwyn could not be realized. She could only be reluctantly let go when Tyran left, but after her experience today, she obviously had no regrets, and she said that she would not live up to this title.

So, I was left alone, sitting in this empty command post, thinking about a lot of personal and political things.

The first is politics, where policies and directives have been given and answered, but plans for the future and future relations with the Horde and the Night Elves. Of course, this is only part of it, and there is also the matter of recovering the homeland proposed by Tyran, yes, when we had just eliminated the Burning Legion, we had already made such a plan, but with the fact that this place is comfortable and sparsely populated, this has to make me deny this understanding, but if I do, I am afraid that I will be criticized by people, which really makes me a little overwhelmed. Of course, I found that excuse, the black dragon is now more powerful than ever, but why is she so slow to move?and, of course, I have some hatred for the black dragon, after all, she killed Sylvanas and some of my other companions and some of her cronies. Sooner or later, I'll make him pay.

And in addition to these annoying and incomprehensible political affairs, I also thought about Maitwyne's private affairs, maybe because of some things, so that I accepted her, but I always feel that there is always someone behind the scenes, and that pusher, is obviously the existence that I think about the most now, I didn't expect Gianna and Mavi to have such a plan, maybe they also think that a big family may be more stable, of course, I have to make some efforts

But then again, or I miss them a little, and I really hope that they will come back as soon as they are done with the necessary tasks, but I just think so, I know that such a task may not be able to solve Lisuo in a week or two, and when Gianna comes, I am afraid that there will be some choice between them, I think it is better to get Maite Wynne at this time, and after a moment's hesitation, I still made up my mind to pass this message on to her, that is, the letter of appointment. Apparently she understood, after all, she knew very well that if it weren't for Tyran's here, she might not have been let go by me.

On the other side:

While Mavi went to her brother and sister to exchange food, Gianna was not idle, except for a thorough inspection and visit of the entire Kul Tiras and the nearby islands in the guise of the head of Kurtiras, and arranged some plans and personnel transfers with the others. In addition, a magical survey of the original Gilneth area was conducted to find out if there might be any obvious threats nearby. Just in case, let's choose a suitable landing and garrison point. Although the purpose was to build more warships and fishing boats, it could well be explained as a search for the homeland.

But even so, some of her biased behavior towards Lordaeron was somewhat complained by the people, but when Mavi arrived with a large amount of food and stockpiles of medical medicine, it seemed that nothing was questioned. And Gianna was relieved that Mavi would not be able to complete the task. Indeed, she knew that some of her arrangements and the current Kul Tiras economy was worse, and if she could not have these supports, it would not only mean that her reputation would be ruined, but even a mass starvation would occur, and civil change would be inevitable. But the good thing is that all worries are unnecessary.

Even this time Mavi is almost a super extra city mission, the arrival of a fully loaded ship. When she saw Mavi again, Gianna was so excited that she was about to cry, but Mavi knew that she couldn't lose her temper in public at this time, so she hurriedly flashed in front of Gianna and knelt down in advance.

"At the behest of Her Majesty, I have obtained enough supplies to arrive here. ”

Gianna immediately understood what she meant, yes, if the purpose of their visit this time was nothing more than to put Kurtilas on the right track, and at the same time, let Gianna completely control the hearts and minds of the entire Kurtilas, obviously she wanted to be a tall and controllable image, and not lose her temper because of her excitement.

"You've done a good job, Mavi, and I think we should distribute enough food to the inhabitants next. ”

"Follow Your Will"

With that, Mavi turned around and led Manic to carry out Gianna's orders, but at this moment, Mavi's hand was grabbed by Gianna and she didn't need to act on her own. and held her hand tightly, motioning to stand with him. Accept the cheers of the crowd around you. Yes, at this time, the soldiers and civilians of Kurtilas, who were waiting to receive their supplies, shouted in celebration of their leader, and this was exactly what Mavi had to do, which was to elevate Gianna's true status in the hearts of the people. Gianna has also been holding Mavi's hand, and she wants her to go with her to receive everyone's blessings. Obviously, Gianna also wanted to tell Mavi about her gratitude in this way, and anyway, this is Gianna's homeland, a powerful country that her father has created.

Later, after they left the port, they returned to the palace, and when they were alone in the room, Gianna immediately expressed her gratitude to Mavi, that is, she knelt down like Mavi, and Mavi was very embarrassed by this, and immediately pulled Gianna back

"Everything is what I should do, Kul Tiras is not only your home country, but also our strongest pillar, I will definitely be close to my full strength, and so will you. ”

"Maybe I shouldn't have said that, but I'm very grateful to you for joining us, it's a real privilege for us, and now we're all on track, thanks to you, Mavi. ”

"Gianna, I'm just close to my power to sustain our strong existence. It's my honor to know that you didn't hesitate to accept me, and maybe we shouldn't be like this, right, after all, we're all family. ”

"Yes, we are a family, a big harmonious family, and it will be even bigger in the future. ”

Gianna stroked Mavi's already bulging belly and said, to which Mavi smiled and said more about them, which was exactly what she wanted to discuss with Gianna.

"Maybe soon we'll have more in the family, and Maitwyn will be on board soon, but of course we can't guarantee that there will be more in the future. ”

"You're right, but right now, maybe Alsace won't. Gianna said with some conviction, but as soon as she finished speaking, Mavi denied it.

"Maybe you'll be disappointed, but the message we left him will do the trick. ”

"But Sylvanas and Marlan's affairs have always haunted him, how could he?"

Gianna disagreed, but Mavi seemed to have a more valid reason:

"It is precisely because of this that he will accept Matt Wynne, her heart is now longing for the warmth of home, and she is also enough to make Arthas care about her existence, it is difficult for a human who can learn the power of holy light and moonlight to appear, obviously she is favored by the moon god, so"

"Okay, I see, I just don't think it should be me so soon. Gianna was a little confused, yes, her tiredness and the excitement just now did prevent him from focusing on his sanity like this, and this made Mavi think that Gianna seemed to have some concerns or something.

"Gianna, you can't be so unconfident, you have to believe in yourself, your status is beyond doubt. ”

"I know, I just didn't expect that, you're right, we're going to have a lot of sisters, and as for me, I'm just a little surprised. ”

"I was also surprised, I was surprised, I thought you would say that I was your biggest threat. ”

Mavi said with a smile, while Gianna was like a sister, and scratched Mavi with a little grin. Normally Mavi wouldn't do this to people, even to me, but she did this to Gianna in private this time, which surprised Gi'an, and she knew that it was out of her intimacy with Gianna. That is, Gianna understands that she longs for this harmonious family, just like Sylvanas back then, although Mavi may lack some perennial common experience compared to her, Gianna is still sure that she can really be trusted. Still, she wanted to ask something. You must know that her joining and such selfless dedication still make some sense. So Gianna sorted out her mood, and after she calmed down, she still said a doubt in her heart more seriously:

"I'm curious to know, when exactly did you want to join our family?"

"I don't know, maybe you can only understand it if you go through everything I've been through, but it's not a feeling that can be spoken, or rather, it makes people feel like they're giving everything in this life. ”

"But to be honest, when I remember the first time I saw you come to see us in Alsatian disguised dragon form, maybe I guessed that you were already planning to get to this day, right?" Gianna asked as she stared at Mavi tightly, which made Mavi very embarrassed, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, especially Gianna's next question: " I'm curious to know when you chose us, I started to think that Tyrande suppressed you everywhere, or your relatives treated you badly, or your subordinates stumbled on you, but now I see that I have denied them one by one, so I think it should be Tyrande who wants to fulfill you before expelling you. ”

"I" Mavi didn't know how to answer when asked, but she felt that Gianna had already asked here, and she didn't feel the need to hide anything, so she decided to confess: "You guessed all right, but I promise that when I saw him, it was definitely not what you thought I was, I didn't have any good feelings for him at that time, but with some experience, I felt that kind of firm support, maybe I can't wait"

"Really?" Gianna questioned, apparently not believing what Mavi was saying, to which Mavi even swore her own poisonous oath.

"I can swear in the name of the moon god that the first time I met Arthas may not have been when I was fighting the Burning Legion, I had contact with you a long time ago, but you didn't know it now. ”

"Very early?"

Gianna questioned, and Mavi hurriedly explained that yes, she couldn't lie in her vows.

"I know a lot of your stories, such as the first time you met in Lordaeron, Arthas freed Orgrimmar, Arthas and Manic when he saved Thrall, and even swords against each other, etc., of course I know a lot of your secrets, these things are not what you told me, are they?"

"We thought we were doing it secretively, but we didn't expect it to be something you should know. That's the best, I forgot what I didn't tell you. ”

"But I still want you to tell me, otherwise I'm worried that I really don't know what I don't know, but it's not that we still have a lot to do right now, such as a mission to the Silver Pine Forest. ”

Mavi said implicitly, yes, her words were very secretive, always hiding something, but Gianna felt that she didn't know how to ask, but she was more sure that Mavi was really sincere, so she was ready to stop there.

"Yes, we still have to go to the Silver Pine Forest, where we are going to cut down the giant trees, but I really don't know what happened there, but I know some of the things about my stepmother Golden Sword, and the experiences that Arthas said make me feel that the humans in Lordaeron's homeland are very terrifying, and maybe it is a very dangerous task to go there. ”

"It's just that the invasion of the undead has made it very desolate, and the danger may not be very great, but all we have to do is ask for some trees, and we don't have the conditions to fight back against the undead of Lordaeron now, and our attempted landing like this can also alleviate the pressure of some public opinion that we have forgotten our roots. ”

"You're right, Master Strategist. ”

Gianna smiled.

"Gianna!"

"Yes, I don't want you to call me Queen, we still have to call me sisters in private, not by your name, but by you, which is better. ”

"No, this is a must, there will be some people who may join in at that time, maybe they can put more pressure on you than me, so you must also show your identity in private, and only in this way can you force you to be stronger, believe me that you will adapt to ruling us at that time, no matter how good anyone is, you will not feel the slightest pressure. ”

Mavi said it for granted, but before she could finish she seemed to realize what she seemed to be saying, and Gianna seemed to be waiting for her to say it.

"You're loyal to admitting that you've put pressure on me, Mavi. ”

"I'm just"

Mavi didn't know how to explain it, yes, at this time, Gianna looked very reasonable.

"That's good, I don't want Arthas to accommodate a mediocre existence, and your strength is enough to prove that he has a good vision, all of us recognize your strength and ability Mavi, and we all think that your appearance is a favor from God, Arthas can win your heart, maybe I really underestimate his ability. Gianna stroked Mavi's belly and said, indeed what she really envied in her heart was the child in her belly. "But you're right, it's just that my strength has reached a bottleneck, and I really feel like I'm a little too bad compared to what you've done."

"Gianna, I can treat you as if you were a sister and respect you for not your identity, you will prove your strength. ”

"You don't have to comfort me, I know my strength if it weren't for my daughter as an admiral, if I hadn't known Arthas so early, maybe"

Gianna said in a low voice, although she was very unwilling in her heart, but what she said was indeed the truth, no matter how hard a human being, no matter what his talent was, he could not match the Night Elf elite with tens of thousands of years of experience like Mavi in some aspects, but although Gianna said this, Mavi did not agree, because human beings have a unique way, that is, inheritance.

"No, if you're not that good, you won't learn such a trick as Death Finger. And Egwene's appearance is not accidental, she knows what she is really going to do, her time is running out, she just wants to let you inherit her power, the power of being a guardian. ”

"I have such speculations, but hasn't she already inherited most of her power to her son?"

"Trust my judgment, I've seen her before, the Guardians of all generations, they've all ended up giving everything they have to their perceived heirs, and as for Egwene now, her strength is missing, but her will remains. ”

"Inheritance of her will?"

Gianna was a little confused, and Mavi tried to explain:

"She felt guilty, and she knew you needed it. And she also hopes that she can preserve, and some of her own power can be passed on to the next generation, and this will is not dominant for you now, and will be fully integrated into your will over time. It's like Arthas's sister Galia, she absorbed all the High Elves named Valeera who had experiences with Arthas and Sylvanas, the one who was already going berserk, if not, Valeera would have gone crazy quickly, and Galia would have died of her injuries. ”

"But as far as I know, no one in Stormwind has the power to fuse the souls of two people into one. ”

"It may be that Onexia left this power behind when he divided Varian, or else they used that kind of soul fusion so resolutely at the time. Mavi explained, but that wasn't the point, the point was what she was going to say next, "So no one in Arthas and Stormwind thought Valera or Galia was dead, but a survivor, so Egwene was here to continue to exist like this." Placing her power on you, and her power is clearly a very powerful presence that is necessary for us, and her vast knowledge of magic and her ability to wield it will make you stronger than the power of all the mages of mankind, and she actively wants to do so. ”

"I see, you're letting her will take my place or merge with me"

"Gianna, I won't allow such an act, none of us will let her take your will, Egwene knows this very well, so she just wants to be a part of you, like the vengeful spirit I summoned, she is just your power, you are in complete control of everything about her, and you can even get rid of it, just like Arthas and the will of the one called Kel'thugad behind him, maybe you don't feel that Arthas is no different"

"I know, I trust your judgment, Mavi, it's up to you when the time comes. Gianna said, yes, after so many experiences, she already knew Mavi, although Gianna knew that Mavi and Egwene were probably old acquaintances, and as an existence second only to her, Gianna should probably be a little worried that her will would be deprived of her new body, but she still believed in Mavi, or she firmly believed that I would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Trust me, but make sure nothing goes wrong, and it's better that Ronin is involved, and we have to have no mistakes. ”

"It's enough to have you, I believe in Egwene, and I believe in you, she really wants to take my will, she could have done it a long time ago. ”

To which Mavi nodded. They weren't talking about it, because they were just preparing for it to happen in a few years, but they didn't think it was going to happen right away

At this time, Falik and Nasha had already arrived and told Gianna that the food had been distributed to the heads of each region, and that most of the rest of the goods had been registered.

"Registration so soon?"

"Actually, Her Majesty the Princess, on the way here, has already done the relevant statistics, and we have almost come according to this data, which is very relevant to our reality," Faric said as he handed Gianna a list dozens of pages long, as well as a few others. "We also have a share to repay Ironforge and Stormwind, and of course some support and trade, and now these goods are ready to depart at the docks, if you agree. ”

As he spoke, Falic handed Gianna another list of more than a dozen pages, but Gianna did not open it, but directly arranged for Falik.

"Then follow this and follow this, I will read this later, and if Princess Mavi executes any orders, just execute them directly, and if necessary, just present them to me afterwards. Gianna said with majesty, yes, it made people feel that everything was under her control, especially at this moment Mavi bowed her head to Gianna and wanted to kneel, and then was lifted up by Gianna. "You don't have to shirk, if you think it's good for us to do it. ”

"Yes"

After seeing that Mavi was still respectful to Gianna, Falik didn't say anything, he and the others had already understood Mavi's position on Gianna's side at the moment, and everyone was still worried that Gianna would be threatened or psychologically affected by Mavi's outstanding performance and being pregnant, but now, it seems that their worries are superfluous, Gianna has absolute confidence in Mavi, and Mavi's efforts are obviously not to replace Gianna's position, and this is also the most satisfactory ending for everyone。 Of course, not only that, after the necessary etiquette, Gianna still summed up the current situation with everyone in a very peaceful manner as usual, and discussed the next task. Build battleships.

When it comes to building warships, Kul Tiras's technology is not said, but the lack of raw materials makes it difficult to continue this project, so it can only go to the Silver Pine Forest to harvest giant trees, but to be honest, Gianna doesn't want to land at this time in her heart, she knows very well, because there is almost no intelligence on the mainland, plus the black dragon has absorbed the entire undead and the Burning Legion army trapped in this world, so such a move may anger the Black Dragon King, after all, every force on our side actually has an inner expectation, that is, the first goal of the Black Dragon King's attack does not fall on themselves, but such behavior, coupled with the hatred of the king and the black dragon king, it is difficult for us not to be the primary target.

During this discussion, Falic voiced such concerns, and he also offered other reasons to reject the plan.

"We're going to develop now, and in the foreseeable future, we don't need a large fleet of warships, so I don't think we need to do that, let's carry out this plan after a while, we have to see what happens on the Black Dragon's side now. ”

Faric's statement was echoed by quite a few people, even Nasha, though Mavi disagreed, and she also recounted her reasons for desperately wanting a battleship.

"We must reply to the fleet as soon as possible, this is not only asking us to ask for military, but also trade and transportation, so that we can better link Kalimdor and Azeroth, and the prosperity of Kurtilas itself depends on warships and merchant ships to prosper, if we cut off the means of building warships, then Kurtiras will also decline, and a large number of fishery resources can not be fully utilized, then this can only be a mountain to eat, as for the matter of the black dragon, I don't think we need to worry, if he wants to act, he will act a long time ago, after all, Ronin has ruined his good deeds, Arthas killed her daughterAlmost every one of us has a deep hatred with him, so we don't have to worry about such grievances, and we must also go to the mainland to investigate, otherwise, we will never know the situation of the enemy, although the humans over there may have stopped controlling or become puppets, but most of them are still waiting for our rescue, aren't they? Maybe they also hope that our people can set foot on their homeland again after learning about our current achievements, at least, many of our old people on our side think so. ”

Mavi's words once again left everyone speechless, and Gianna seemed to understand something, so she followed Mavi's advice, but when it came time to implement it, she decided to go with Mavi to the Silver Pine Forest area. Gianna wants to go back to Theramore with Mavi and implement this plan concretely, yes, although it has only been the past few days, Gianna feels it necessary to explore what is going on with them here, and when the supplies arrive, it will be equivalent to solving the current primary conflict, so it is very necessary to discuss the next plan and policy.

Mavi also agreed with Gianna's decision, yes, things were going much better than they thought, it was time to plan ahead, and it was at this time that a priestess arrived with another, more uplifting message, and that was about Winlessa.

"Winlessa's child was born, a twin man and a woman, and the mother and child were safe. ”

Everyone was thrilled by the message, including Mavi, who seemed to be as excited as Gianna, and the other priestesses. In this regard, everyone unanimously put down everything they were ready to go to Luo Ning's side to celebrate.

"Maybe we shouldn't have gone with so many people, Mavi and I will leave soon, this time we'll go first, you can visit another day. Gianna said this, and pulled Mavi to prepare to go, but before leaving, she thought that she had to explain some things to Farik: "Mana, you will take on the duties of lord tomorrow, and we may return to Theramore tonight." Gianna said this, and without waiting for Falik to nod, she arrived at Ronin with Mavi.

Luo Ning, who was already completely excited about the appearance of Gianna and Mavi, couldn't help but express her excitement, and she grabbed Gianna's shoulder to tell everyone the good news. And Mavi first went to check Wen Lesa's body when Gianna was "stopped", and it seemed that everything was not worried, and Wen Lesa behaved very naturally and healthily, in addition to her physical fitness and young capital. Mavi immediately thought of something, such as that she had been blessed by the same power, of course, not only that, but her body had more or less replaced the child's blood, perhaps this was also a way to alleviate her demonic illness. Maybe she should look into it, but it doesn't seem like the time yet.

However, Wen Lesa saw Mavi's intentions, and she was obviously more concerned about this issue than Mavi.

"Sister Mavi, I feel very good, can you find a way in me?" Wen Leisa, who was lying on the bed, asked, according to her demeanor, she couldn't see anything unusual about her at all, but Luo Ning didn't want her to have any mistakes, and ordered her to stay in bed, but judging from the actual situation, maybe Wen Leisa's physical fitness is still stronger than Luo Ning's mage.

"It may take some time to prove, but I don't think it will help much, because I think you're blessed by the Red Dragon Queen, but none of us have that power, do we?" Mavi sensed this power after grabbing the shawl behind Wenlesa's short hair, and it was here when she herself was blessed by Ysera, and as the sister of the Green Dragon Queen, they did the same, Mavi quickly found a similar blessing, of course, not only that, she noticed that Wenlessa's hair was almost identical to her own.

"That's right, but I think," Winlessa admitted, although she promised the Red Dragon Queen to keep it a secret, but the reality was that she had been discovered, and she really couldn't hide it, and Mavi motioned her not to explain, after all, she had already seen Winlessa's mind a little bit by this time, and of course there were more, such as why I liked to fiddle with her shoulder-length short hair like Winlessa, and Matt Wynne too.

"Wen Leisa, I will try, I believe I will help you find a way. ”

"I believe you, I heard that you won't let any of us down if you come again. ”

"I'm just going to do my best, and I've heard stories about you, it's said that Luo Ning has persevered because he thought of your existence many times when he faced despair, and I'm glad to meet you."

Wen Lesa was a little surprised to hear this, maybe there was some exaggeration, but she thought that what Mavi seemed to say was not wrong, so she accepted the kind salutation, and expressed her feelings at the moment:

"Me too"

On the other side, Ronin and Gianna were also chatting about something, and after the incident, she also expressed her blessing to Wen Lesa and the children who had just been cleaned, and inquired about their situation. Gianna was also very happy about the health of the child and Wen Leisa, because she also took it for granted that Wen Leisa's success might be a way to solve the High Elves. Of course, Gianna didn't express this intention, because such a task would have to fall to Mavi after all, and she was indeed busy enough now, and she was now physically prominent.

"Ronin, Mavi and I will pass this news on to Arthas immediately, and we may have to stay for a while, so the situation here can only be entrusted to you. ”

"I know that I will do my best for the stability of Wenlesa and her sons, believe me. ”

"I'll take care of the kids, and Ronin can devote himself to his work. Wen Lesa also asked like this, and Luo Ning became more determined in this regard.

As they walked out of the room, Gianna summoned Mavi, Ronin, Farric, and Nasha for a dinner-like meeting, where they exchanged ideas about their concerns. For example, Luo Ning, he is obsessed with the matter of the black dragon, and the only person who can get the information is Ma Wei, but for Luo Ning's threat, Ma Wei doesn't know what to answer, she is just sure that the Black Dragon King has no substantive action, but this can also show that the Black Dragon King seems to be waiting for some time. Although it was difficult for her to guess what the timing was.

In addition, they also talked about some other things, such as Egwene, Ronin was very surprised by Egwene's appearance, he didn't dare to imagine that she was still alive, and she was still here to help us, but Mavi also took advantage of this time to say the feasibility of letting Gianna absorb all Egwene's power and will, and hoped that Ronin could also participate in it and supervise the ceremony at that time. Surprisingly, Ronin questioned this, because he thought that doing so might affect the purity of Gianna's soul, because Ronin had read similar books, and the relevant records were not as Mavi said.

Yes, he wants Gianna to become stronger anyway, but only if Gianna remains Gianna. Mana, who doesn't understand magic, didn't speak, but Nasha didn't seem to agree with Mavi either, so she didn't speak. However, Mavi really didn't need anyone's support or not, she only used one example to convince Luo Ning:

"Maybe you should remember that vision, Master Ronin, the last moments. ”

After Ma Wei said this, Luo Ning couldn't help but leave a lot of cold sweat, and unconsciously dropped his utensils on the ground, many people were strange about Luo Ning's performance, and Gianna seemed to think of something, and just when he wanted to speak, Luo Ning spoke.

"Maybe we can change our fate, like Alsace?"

"I don't know, but we all have to face it. ”

"I see. ”

Ronin stopped questioning, and the others weren't asking anything.

After this episode, they also talked about some other things, such as changing the policy towards Kurtiras, which used to be very oppressive to the people and resources because of the war, but now, there is no need, and with everything in Theramore, there is no longer a need for Kurtilas to feed, but to feed back here, and indeed as Mavi said, to form a large number of trade teams, and sea power, because for now, if you can seize the sea, who can take advantage of the next era of peace。 And most importantly, Kurtilas is still Gianna's homeland after all, and the people here are loyal beings like the remnants of Lordaeron, and they must be treated completely without discrimination.

In this regard, Gianna and the others agreed on all the topics in this dinner, but after the dinner was over, the others left, and only Mavi and Gianna were left. Luo Ning still turned back and wanted to say something to Gianna, but he didn't know how to speak, and Gianna still warned Luo Ning to change his mentality. However, compared to this, Luo Ning knew that he should ask Mavi the question:

"Are all illusions real?"

"It's true, and it's going to happen. The unproduced vision of Alsace may or may not have happened at some point. ”

"If you know, what are you going to do? ”

"I've been through it for more than 10,000 years, I've seen too much life and death, and if there's one thing I have to do about it, it's to live every day well. After all, we mortals all have an end day, don't we?"

"You're right, I see. ”

Luo Ning didn't have any doubts, but left happily. Only Gianna and Mavi were left, but at this time, Gianna also had the same doubts as Luo Ning.

"Mavi, are you going to prepare it then?"

"I'm not prepared, because I know you'll save us. Save our world, I believe in you. ”

"I get Mavi, I'll do it then. ”

"I knew you would. Mavi said firmly, which made Gianna seem to know more about Mavi, at least something might make sense. That's why she gave up everything she had, even her life, to help herself and Arthas in the first place.

But just when Mavi was about to follow Gianna to meet Theramore, Gianna seemed to think of something, that is, to take Mavi to Stormwind City first, he hoped to let Gianna's sister go to see his younger brother and sister, and also tell Varian about things, after all, for now, Stormwind City is the backbone of the alliance, if we start a war, Stormwind City is still our strongest support, and Mavi is completely compliant with this, indeed she also wants to go to see the most glorious city of mankind today and go there to see her lieutenant SerraThe current situation of the moon guard.

Gianna teleported to the garden in the palace of Stormwind, and when the guards noticed the sudden appearance of Mavi and Gianna, they also led them into the nearby hall, and here, it just so happened that Serra, who used to be Mavi's deputy, is now the countess and happened to be in the palace with Queen Caria, and some of the Praetorian guards who originally wanted to confirm their identities didn't seem to need to do anything after seeing Serra and Mavi hugging each other tightly in excitement. And Gianna also hugged Jialia. And after this behavior, they also talked to each other about the current situation and the purpose of coming here, and other things. But before they do that, they first introduce their identities.

"I think you're the Mavi that Serra often mentions," said Galia, yes, she looked very energetic at the moment because she had fused with quite a bit of Valeera's body. And not the gesture of a pure princess effeminity. And Mavi is obviously also looking at the situation of Jialia, obviously she is also paying attention to this change, and it is indeed very different from the more dignified princess recorded in her own information, she looks very spiritual and lively, but she can still see the traces of the princess solemnity. Mavi realized that this soul fusion was indeed a success.

"Yes, sister, but please don't use the title 'you', I'm just your brother-in-law, Princess Lordaeron, my past identity doesn't matter, and it's in the past. ”

"Welcome, Mavi Minahir, I'm glad my brother can marry a princess like you, your glorious deeds have long been sung by the returning warriors of Stormwind, and more importantly, your changes"

Galia gently stroked Mavi's belly, though her belly wasn't as obvious as her own, and Gianna explained the good news. Maybe Jialia might have known about it in other ways, but Gianna still felt the need to tell her about it herself.

"The children of Arthas, the first case of a human being combined with a Night Elf, are very healthy. ”

"It's my honored sisters, and I'm really glad that a family like yours can accommodate me, an exiled elf. Mavi said, yes, compared to her status, she can only say this sentence with a huge age gap with her.

"Then your leader is really very discerning. As she said this, she grabbed Serra again, who had not spoken. "But rest assured, we will not treat you like your leader. ”

"Thank you, sister, I will cherish this opportunity you gave me, I" Mavi was about to bend her knees again to express her gratitude when she was helped up by Jialia, yes, this movement is very vigorous, and she is also a pregnant aristocratic human woman, this is obviously because of Valeera's body and that part of her will. But that's not all

"Thank you, if it weren't for you and the team you brought, we might not have just sacrificed more than just a few more people, but you have given us so much. Galia continued, and at the same time took out her treasured headband that she had once been Princess Lordaeron and put it on Mavi, yes, she was already the queen of Stormwind City and there was no need for her to wear it, and it was just right to give it to Mavi.

But this headband is not so simple, once Lordaeron was close to its strongest, as a princess, Galia was given to Sylvanas, and Sylvanas was handed over to Valeera, and then the headband was returned to the current Galia, and now to Mavi

Seeing this, Gianna seemed to know something, she knew that there must be a story going on here, plus the old things, Gianna seemed very excited, yes, if it wasn't for the insider, she thought that Gianna was jealous. Apparently Mavi didn't know it, but she could recognize something in Gianna's and Galia's equally moist eyes. Or maybe this is the feeling that can only be filled after the soul is united. At this time, Mavi also noticed a key point, as Alsace's sister, Galia didn't ask the two of them why Arthas didn't come. Perhaps at this moment, Mavi realized the key point, that is, now Jialia is not the main will of this queen of Stormwind, but a pure fusion of souls that account for half of each other, although the combination of these two wills will not be detrimental to Stormwind or the Alliance. But Mavi had to question what Egwene and Gianna would look like when they fused, and perhaps Ronin's worries were justified. Although "Jialia" tried her best to hide her other half's will afterwards, at this moment, Mavi knew that she had been completely exposed, because love was greater than family affection, but Mavi decided that it was best to hide it forever, as if nothing had happened

Back to reality, at this moment, Mavi was ready to possess herself again to express her gratitude, but was slowly stopped by Jialia. "There is no need for this between us sisters, and I am really glad to see you and you in such harmony. I think my dead parents would have been very happy to see this."

Galia began to cry, and Gianna and the others comforted her, and it just so happened that Varian and his party arrived at this moment, and they were overwhelmed by the scene of Galia crying with joy, and he felt that he should give them more time. But at this moment, he has arrived, and in this regard, Jialia said that she should avoid it, but Varian did not mean that, he still hoped that his queen could listen to the content, just like Gianna, maybe her participation in some politics may be of great help to him.

"Hello, Your Majesty Varian. Gianna bowed her knees to Varian as he had done, but again, Varian was reluctant to be treated like this by a friend who was a queen, especially if it would lead others to bow to him.

"I don't think we need to, do we?" said Varian, also remembering the etiquette of seeing Gianna when Lordaeron was leading the Alliance. "As you told me, we're friends to be cherished, and we don't need that kind of etiquette between friends, especially if we're in the same class, right, Gianna. ”

"That's right. Gianna smiled and responded to her, and took Mavi's hand, "I thought I could introduce you, this is the Mavi I mentioned to you." ”

"Sure enough, there is a strong soul in the weak body, and I seem to be able to imagine the one that my soldiers preached, no matter how strong the enemy you encounter, no matter how difficult the situation, you can see on the battlefield the goddess of hope who can bring victory to everyone. ”

"You're serious," Mavi said before stepping back behind Gianna, apparently thinking that Varian was talking too much about herself, or that she wasn't used to Stormwind's way of joking.

"Arthas didn't come, I think it must be that Kurtilas is having some difficulties, although we are not in a good situation in Stormwind at the moment, but we will do our best. ”

Varian said generously, but Gianna laughed and dismissed Varian's speculation.

"No, apart from this one, we are here to repay the aid, and there are some other supplies that have been under great financial pressure from the war for many years. We have twenty ships of supplies and food, and we estimate that we will be able to reach the port of Stormwind in four or five days, and I ask you to accept the relief of civilians when the time comes. ”

Gianna said as she handed a list to Varian, to whom the ministers behind him all surrounded their king, yes, it was clear that they needed supplies as much as we did, or were very skeptical that Kurtilas could give them back.

"Where did you get all this substance?"

"As you said, we have a goddess of hope who will help us overcome all difficulties. Gianna smiled and pushed Mavi behind her to the front as she answered Varian's question. Behind him, Varian seemed to have imagined something, and he couldn't help but show some jealousy about it.

"Maybe it's not just the gods' favor this time that Arthas has been favored, it seems that Mavi is more valuable than we thought, but thank you for your support, we in Stormwind really need these supplies, the Burning Legion invasion has almost exhausted all of our reserves so far, but I think you and I are here to just think about providing supplies for me. ”

"Of course, there's more to talk about, and a few things to come from. ”

Gianna and the others returned to the room and in a more formal setting, Gianna told Varian about the current situation, hoping to get some information about the current homeland of Lordaeron, as well as increased trade contacts, etc., and of course, the more sensitive topic was to re-establish trade relations with the Horde. For many issues, Varian agreed very much, and almost passed without any consultation, but for the trade of the tribes, although Varian did not have a clear objection, but he did not agree, he just said that they were too far away from the tribe, this is not his own consideration, but it should be me, and he said that he would not interfere, and he also revealed one thing, that is, the deep hatred between the tribe and the alliance is difficult to make up.

Gianna can't say anything about Varian's attitude, yes, Varian's parents died at the hands of the orcs, and the same orcs have relatives who didn't die at the hands of the Alliance, maybe the common enemy can unite us temporarily, but after all, after the enemy is eliminated, we have to go back to the original state

Of course, Varian expressed his opinion in some tactful ways:

"And I've heard Berva say that during the more than two months of hostility and war with the Horde, Arthas has repeatedly said that releasing Thrall and Orgrim was the biggest mistake he made politically, is that right?"

In response to Varian's claim, Mavi defended it:

"Now the Alliance and the Horde themselves know that neither can eat the other completely, so peace is possible, and it is better for us to show our sincerity, and trade is the best way, and it is also the way we are good at, if not for long-term peace, it can be regarded as a buffer against war. ”

"You have a point. "Varian doesn't seem to have anything to argue with, but one thing is realistic, and that's that he doesn't want war either, especially in a situation like this, and when it comes to trade, Stormwind doesn't seem to have much trade with the orcs across the sea. "But this is your Lordaeron business, and I don't think I need to intervene in these issues other than war, after all, we don't want to clash with them, especially now. ”

Gianna didn't say anything about Varian's explanation, after all, if she could get Varian's acquiescence, she would have already accomplished her goal, so they continued to talk about other topics, and they all reached an agreement. By the end of the meeting, it had turned from late evening to late at night, and after many issues had been agreed, the meeting had become a homely conversation, such as some of my things, and some of Varian's questions about us. For example, Egwene's presence with me, and regarding the Luna faith, it is clear that Varian does not advocate anything that would question the status of the Light. Of course, this does not affect any hostility and prejudice against her belief in the moon god, he allowed the moon god belief to spread in Stormwind City, but he himself will never take the initiative to take the initiative to promote this. In addition to this, Varian asks why I didn't come, to which Gianna explains the fact that I am alone in Theramore, and explains that my side is too little to keep busy.

Varian joked about this

"I don't think you should let Arthas go, maybe when you go back, you'll find that Arthas will introduce you to a new sister. ”

For Varian's ridicule, Mavi and Gianna couldn't help but laugh together.

"It may be late, but we should go back. ”

"Take care all the way, bring me a good picture of her, and I'll visit him when I have time." ”

The conversation ended, and Gianna decided to leave amid the blessings and greetings of the others, and they returned to their command post in Theramore. However, as soon as she returned here, Mavi said something that made Gianna feel comforted.

"Gianna, I think Ronin is right, we can't just raise your strength to make your soul accept Egwene's like that. ”

"Why did you say that at this point?"

"Galia may be in the past, and now she is a new soul entirely. ”

"You found out too?"

Gianna said with a smile, and Mavi looked embarrassed about this,

"It's just that I was wrong, I didn't expect it. ”

"You're not wrong, maybe I'm not wrong, you really see me as a sister, Mavi, thank you for being so kind to me. But I feel the need to get this power, as you said at the beginning, she is indeed a rare treasure, and her loyalty to our alliance is undisputed, and I know that I am really not strong enough, if I can't suppress her soul, I would rather be occupied by her, after all, even if I lose, it won't affect anything, just like the current Galia, isn't it, and we better give Egwen a chance to compete with me, isn't it, won't the fusion of my soul and her soul be better for us?"

"If you choose to compete with her, I'm not going to sit idly by, along with Alsace and Roning. Mavi said firmly, apparently as if she had a good idea, much to Gianna's laughter.

"So that's why I trust you, but I also trust Egwene, she's not Valeera, Valeera is a very young being who is only twenty years old, and her soul has a very strong desire for purity, while Egwene is the complete opposite, and I believe in her choice when the time comes, of course, I believe in Arthas and my own willpower. ”

Mavi didn't say anything when she heard this, indeed, she was sure that as long as Gianna was prepared, there might be some things that she didn't have to worry too much about, but at this time, the calm Mavi seemed to sense something, and she couldn't help laughing at it, because this argument with Gianna may have been lost, but there was one thing she guessed correctly, and that was the love that was happening in our room now.

"Perhaps, but Varian is right, Arthas did act on Mattwyne, so should we catch the traitor? ”

"Forget it, don't leave a shadow on Mattwynne for the first time, let's wait for tomorrow, let's go sleep with your men. Gianna said and entered her with Mavi, obviously their movement was enough to wake up the priestess who had already gone to bed, but obviously nothing on my side could stop me from releasing Lisa, after all, apart from the desire to conquer my nature, I knew how to completely return a lady who admired me to her heart, that is, to the maximum extent of all kinds of destruction and release without harming her body
