Chapter 191: Failed Appeal for Help
With the strength of the High Elves, it is not a strange thing to have a legendary mage, after all, the High Elves have been able to compete with trolls for thousands of years, and the trolls have the support of the gods.
Although the true strength of those troll gods can only barely reach the level of demigods, they are also related to the so-called 'god' after all, and they can definitely crush ordinary powerhouses.
If there were no legendary powerhouses among the High Elves, they would have been wiped out by the trolls thousands of years ago.
"The strength of the High Elves is really strong, and the current Undead Scourge may not be their opponent......" Song Zheng secretly rejoiced in his heart.
The strength of the Undead Scourge is strong, but the current Lich King Naozu cannot leave the Ice Throne, and the Kel'thugad who is in charge of operations on the eastern continent is at most a legendary-level mage, and his strength is definitely not as good as the High Elves who have many mage powerhouses.
However, to Song Zheng's dismay, the high elves spoke in Salas, and the speed of their speech was so fast that he couldn't understand it at all.
It was only when Darkan Drahier came to the stage to give a speech, perhaps to accommodate Song Zheng's feelings, that he adopted human language.
Song Zheng looked around in surprise, only to see that the other elven councilors did not show any surprise, obviously these were the best people among the elves, and being proficient in human language was not a pressure on them.
Darkan Drahir's eloquence was very good, and it could even be said that it was very demagogic, and when he said that he hoped to send troops to support Lordaeron, many elves immediately agreed.
Song Zheng secretly looked at the elves who supported sending troops to aid the human kingdom, and found that they were all relatively young elves, and it was estimated that these were the radicals that Yelena said.
Unfortunately, however, the number of these relatively radical young elven councillors is not dominant in this council.
Before Darkan Drahir had finished speaking, there were already objections to it, and the reason for the objection was the divination made many years ago.
"Have you forgotten your last divination prophecy? Since the defensive barrier of the Eternal Song Forest was built, we have decided not to get involved in the outside world, and His Majesty will certainly oppose the sending of troops to support Lordaeron. An elven old man with a long beard moved the king out.
Song Zheng had already understood the prophecy from Yelena many years ago, and knew that it was the Silver Moon Council that held the divination in the first place, so when the old man mentioned the last divination prophecy, almost everyone stopped talking.
"The last divination prophecy may not be wrong, but what we see is only a fragment of the future, and no one knows when it happened, maybe in a thousand years, or ten thousand years later." Darkan Drahir pondered for a while before he began to plead.
"No matter how long it will take, the destruction of Silvermoon City must have been caused by war, and it is for this reason that His Majesty the King has ordered that the troops of Silvermoon City be forbidden to leave Quel'Thalas, in order to minimize the chances of our elves getting involved in the war." The old man immediately retorted.
"The destruction of Silvermoon City may not be due to the war of others, but it may also be because we refused to help our neighbors, like the undead scourge after defeating Lordaeron, it is bound to increase in strength, and it will definitely come to attack us at that time, and at that time, we can no longer find human allies to help, relying on the defensive enchantment may not be able to resist the undead scourge, not to mention that our enemies still have those trolls, so I think it is better to send troops to help Lordaeron." Darkan Delahir continued, looking like the embodiment of justice.
This made Song Zheng sigh with emotion, "If this guy wasn't called Darkan Dragier, how good it would be......"
Darkan Drahir's words caused many in the hall to fall into deep thought, and what followed was an even more chaotic argument.
The final result was not as expected last night, although there were many radicals who supported it, but it still did not get the understanding of those old people, even if Song Zheng later went to the stage to give a speech, it did not change the situation.
"These elves are really stubborn, do you really want to wait for the elven king to come back?" Song Zheng's face was a little bad.
He'd been delayed for too long, and it was no longer clear what had become of Lordaeron.
He was even more worried that the elven king was also too old to approve of sending troops to support Lordaeron.
"This trip won't be in vain, right......" Song Zheng was faintly worried in his heart.
After all, in the history of Warcraft, there was no situation where Silvermoon City sent troops to help Lordaeron,
"I'm very sorry, but I didn't expect so many people to oppose sending troops, especially the Speaker of Parliament." Darkan Drahier whispered to him after sitting back next to Song Zheng.
Only then did Song Zheng know that the old man who had taken the lead in opposing it before was the speaker of the Silver Moon Council, who was a legendary mage and the mage whose strength was second only to the king in Silver Moon City.
"No wonder there are so many people who oppose it, most of them dare not resist the speaker." Song Zheng sighed secretly, so that he could only pin his hope entirely on the Elven King Anastarian Sunstrider.
Since Anastarian Sunstrider was still on Sunchase Island, he had to wait a few more days in Silvermoon City.
Song Zheng returned to the Blue Rose Tavern in great frustration, Catherine followed behind him and remained silent, she did not enter the council hall, she could only wait outside for him to come out, but she also quickly learned about the situation today.
Yelena soon appeared in front of Song Zheng, and she was also very surprised by the outcome of the matter.
"It's really strange that those guys in the council should take the initiative to push for troops in order to gain more power, and I don't know why they refused so harshly this time." Elena sighed under her breath.
Song Zheng had promised to give her a lot of rewards after receiving reinforcements, but now she could only give up those rewards in disappointment.
Although the mission was in a state of failure, while waiting for the king's return, Song Zheng took the opportunity to travel to the bustling Silver Moon City, and at the same time hoped to buy some rare magic props, especially to get a space ring that could be used without magic power.
Since none of the elves in Silvermoon City accept gold from humans, Song Zheng had to ask Yelena for help again, and finally borrowed some magic gems from her in the form of loan sharks.
