Battle of Gilneth (7)
"Alsace, I want you to bring news of peace. www.biquge.info"Uther and the troops have followed, as well as my companions, and yes, they are behind them some possible contingencies in the preparatory talks.
"I hope so, too, if their people can accept the decision to put the werewolves under our investigation. ā
I sighed... Such an attitude is completely to prevent the master from blaming me, but this...
"It's not realistic, Alsace. Greysideburns would certainly not accept such a proposal, and if you can't do so, you're declaring war on them in a different direction. ā
"Perhaps, but we have no choice, we have to let them do that, or it won't bring real peace. ā
"Then you mean we're going to get ready for battle. Gathers asked, and he hoped so. And his idea has also aroused the interest of some people. But what I'm about to say is probably going to disappoint them, because I still don't want to upset Uther, at least for now.
"Of course we have to plan for the worst, but we won't take the initiative until they make a move, so we need to strengthen our training and strengthen our defenses. I said to Uther, and it was clear that he was very pleased with the statement, such as my attitude.
"Alsace, if you really don't plan to start a war on your own initiative, I think you're doing the right thing, after all, our country must get a rest. ā
"Yes, we must put the first priority on the recovery of the country, not on the punishment of the warmongers. ā
I didn't say anything to them, but turned to lead my companions back to the barracks, waiting for the movement...
In the army, it is still preparing for war, and of course it cannot relax its intelligence collection. So I sent Ronin and Weunresa and Gianna and Sylvanas to spy on their side. For example, some of the movements of werewolves that I am most concerned about.
I had hoped to put Gilneth at odds with each other, but in the evening Gianna and they came back and said that the situation was not what I had thought, for Greysides seemed to accept my advice.
"Gilneth is preparing to unarm the werewolves and prepare to be sent into our territory in batches for our inspection. ā
Sylvanas reported the situation, and she seemed happy with the outcome as she didn't know about it, but for me it was a frustration. Unless someone doesn't have that plan.
"And what about Arugao? how could he possibly accept such an offer and let him lose the power of his army. ā
Arugao was angry at the decision, but he had already been fired. ā
"Can that mage endure it, or does he have some plans like Kel'thugad. ā
"There may have been a plan, but I know he will not be able to return to Kenrito, for after this war Dalaran has completely fallen to us, and he can no longer afford it. Luo Ning, who is Dalaran, said, but the criticism followed one after another. "Of course I mean the humans of Dalaran... I don't mean anything else. ā
"I'm not asking this, I'm wondering if he has made some small moves, such as usurping the throne or doing some experiments. ā
"Probably not, he's planning to go back to his hometown, but we'll keep an eye on this guy. ā
"Well... I understand. Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, and this action surprised everyone a little, yes, except for Luo Ning and Gianna, I originally thought that I would be happy to hear such peaceful news, but in fact this is just a relatively acceptable result.
"Arthas?" asked Sylvana, confused, and I made no secret of my surprise.
"I didn't expect Arugao to be a guy with no ambitions. ā
"Ambition? If Arugao had ambition, then Kel'thugad wouldn't have that status... I mean the former Kel'thugad. ā
"Okay. Then let's welcome peace, this is more or less acceptable..."In the face of Luo Ning's explanation, I seem to have misjudged someone's character, but there is no way, in this case, I can only accept this result. "You don't have to scout the situation, we'll just wait for them to send in batches of werewolves. ā
I turned back and walked back into my room, and it made everyone look at each other, but Gianna seemed to know me better, but she wanted to be sure of something...
"Arthas, you're trying to destroy the werewolves this way?"
"No, as long as they remain human, there's no reason why we shouldn't let them live in the world, we just don't want them to increase in number. I turned back to answer Gianna's question, to which she showed a little comfort, and then calmly asked a question that I had to face.
"What about Arthas, do you really want to get Gilneth?"
"Of course!" I didn't hide my thoughts in the face of this Princess Kul Tiras, yes, I don't think she would have any concerns about my ambitions, after all, she knew me, and just really wanted to confirm this, maybe, but I absolutely believed that she would absolutely support me, but still to dispel some of her possible concerns, I still added a nonsense. "Isn't it the same with our human ancestor Aratho, who unified us humans by various means?"
Maybe my explanation didn't cover up some of Gianna's concerns about her own country, but she didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with me doing this, after all, everyone knew that Kul Tiras and Lordaeron were already the same country, so such an explanation was completely redundant, but at the time, I was only thinking of being sincere to Gianna, and I didn't seem to realize that the realization of this ambition had caused some of the elves present to worry.
"Then I have a solution. Gianna didn't explain anything immediately, but after making sure that there was no one else around, she whispered to Ronin. Ronin was reluctant to do this, but finally nodded and left, and before we could all open our doubts, Gianna explained his plan. "I'm going to give something to Arugao so that Arugao will go according to your plan. ā
"One thing..."
Everyone asked Gianna suspiciously, and at this moment she explained to everyone the origin of that thing---- which was once given by Ronin when he came into contact with Deathwing, and through it, Ronin destroyed the demon's soul.
"It's the scales of Deathwing, and use it to engrave some words to make Arugao lead the werewolves to rebel in his name, so that Arugao has no reason not to do it, after all, he also knows that he has offended the Red Dragon and the whole of Lordaeron, so he can only take a desperate bet. ā
"But if Greysideburns encounters a werewolf mutiny, he won't be able to resist for long, and he won't even have time to ask us for help..."Sylvanas asked a little impatiently, it was obvious that she still wanted the war not to continue, but after seeing that everyone and Wenresa agreed with the plan, she herself did not insist on her opinion. "I'm afraid that Arugao will lead the werewolves back against us, so that we will have more sacrifices. ā
I know Sylvanas probably hasn't done much of the same with us, and I have to convince her, but first, I have to convince her with words.
"No, we just need to deal with Arugao, and then the werewolves will come to their senses and it will be easier for us to mediate. ā
"Arugao's strength is on par with me and Luo Ning, and if he wants to control such a huge werewolf will, it is difficult to do it with our human bodies alone, so he will not be able to concentrate on fighting with us. ā
Gianna was also relieved by Sylvanas, yes, she also knew that Sylvanas's mood at the moment did not fully belong to us Lordaeron, but as a native of Kul Tiras, Gianna's could make Sylvanas compromise, but in the face of a conspiracy like mine, she still had a lot of doubts and concerns.
"Then are we going to wait until Grey Sideburns is dead before we attack?"
"No, so that their king will give them the remembrance of the righteous as the righteous, and it will even make them recommend his descendants to be called successors. I said calmly, in fact, I had already shown a smirk in my heart, but in the face of Sylvanas at this time, it didn't leak out, but this behavior seemed to reflect my cold-bloodedness... It may be a far cry from what Sylvanas thinks I am, but I'm sure she'll compromise with me
"I want everyone to know the cowardly side of their king. ā
"It's unlikely, after all, he was a formidable warrior in his youth, even rivaling Uther. ā
"Outward strength doesn't hide your inner weakness, and that's true for everyone, Sylvanas. I took her shoulder to explain Sylvana's doubts or concerns again, and the words had seeped into her world as well as my mannerisms, "Maybe it's true, but when he realizes that he has done such a heinous crime for his country, his people, and the entire human race, all his strength may crumble... So I believe that the gray sideburns at that time may only follow the trend of the times and give everything he has to someone who is more suitable to lead Gilneth. ā
"Arthas..."Sylvanas was overwhelmed by this, maybe she recognized that something might be a little familiar, but she couldn't break free, she couldn't even argue with it, after all, feelings were still a little different from this, or maybe it wasn't a different thing.
"Sylvanas, you may think I'm mean, but I don't hide anything from you, and I have to do the same in order to reduce the loss of our personnel. ā
"I understand... Believe me, Arthas, I will also support you as Gianna did. ā
"Of course I believe you. And I can assure you that after the Battle of Gilneys, there will be no more war of any kind among the nations of the continent, and that you, as elves, and Winresa will be witnesses to this pact. ā
"Arthas, Iā" Sylvanas was about to say something, but was eventually diverted from his deeper subject by Winresa's words.
"Let's wait for Ronin to come back. ā
