Chapter 349: Mutual Reckoning
Before returning to Theramore, Kazik also went to the village of Stonehammer in the Dust Swamp, and he also took Sinsara, the Sand Caller, to Gianna's territory.
There's been a lot going on lately that makes Gianna feel terrible. Before King Varian arrived in Theramore, something seemed to be wrong with his fleet. Just when Gianna thought it wouldn't be a big deal, the next development of events made the mage girl feel a little at a loss. It had already been agreed that Varian would have a friendly meeting with the orc chieftain in the city of Theramore. However, without knowing what happened, the King of Stormwind unilaterally canceled the meeting, and he had returned to Stormwind with the assistance of the accompanying magician.
It sucks, it sucks!
Gianna didn't know why this happened, and the meeting between Varian and Thrall, no, it should have been that the peace talks between the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Orc tribe had collapsed.
Damn it!
The meeting between Stormwind and the orc tribe ended without a hitch, and now it was time for the Sandfury tribe and the orc tribe to negotiate trade.
"Ha, beautiful Miss Gianna, is it the pleasure of Chief Sand Fury to invite you to dinner?"
When they met again, the mage girl had lost a lot. The traveler knew what Gianna would do, and word had spread that King Varian of Stormwind had canceled his meeting with the orc chieftain for no apparent reason. There are many opinions that can be expressed in this matter, and you can interpret it however you want. The first stop of the orcs invasion of the world of Azeroth was the kingdom of Stormwind, where the previous king, Ryan. Wryon died at the hands of the orcs. Everyone talked about it, not only the hatred of destroying the country, but also the hatred of killing their father, and they could fully understand why King Varian would behave like this.
Gianna also heard the voices of these people, she had her own different opinions, just in Stormwind City, when the mage sister had just proposed to facilitate peace talks between the orc tribe and the kingdom of Stormwind, she knew that at that time, King Varian really wanted to negotiate with the orcs. What's going on? Why such a huge reversal?
"Humph! Have dinner together?! Kazik, you have such a confidante in the city of Theramore. You can't have forgotten about that delicate Alicia, have you? ”
was annoyed, hearing the joke of the traverser, the mage girl unceremoniously scolded back. In other words, when Gianna is in a good mood, she doesn't have too much of a good face for Kazik. Habitual!
"How is that possible?!"
Ignoring the sarcasm girl's sarcasm, the traverser is faceless and skinless, and he is used to such bickering. Let the sand caller Sinsara go to the activity on his own, Theramore was established little by little by the mage girl, there are a lot of treasures for sale here, maybe Sinsala will have a lot of gains.
"Since the beautiful Princess Kul Tiras is busy with official business, she is as considerate as I will not bother anymore. Well, I'll be there with Alicia, Gianna, and if Sal and his party come to Theramore, send someone to inform me. ”
Gianna wasn't wrong, if it weren't for her reminder, Kazik would have forgotten that there was still a delicate Terran girl waiting for him to pamper him.
Seeing the Sand Fury Chief arrogantly walking towards the northwest corner of Theramore, where the Terran girl lived, Gianna stomped her foot in hatred, this damn guy was living too chic.
"Did King Varian really cancel this meeting?"
"yes, it's already spreading."
"Although I understand, after all, there is such a hatred as killing my father and destroying the country, how can it be so easy to reconcile, but this has been promised, as the leader of one of the forces, Varian. How could King Ureon say that he would repent? ”
"Not really. King Varian temporarily reversed himself, which made it difficult for Miss Gianna, who had been instrumental in facilitating the meeting, to be in the middle, which was obviously a combination of the orc tribe. ”
"Yes. It is conceivable that it will not be so easy for Stormwind to start such a meeting with Orgrimmar again. ”
"Shh......h
"Miss Gianna!"
"Hello, Miss Gianna."
Wandering around the city of Theramore, there's really a lot of talk about it. Waving her hand, in response to the greetings and salutes of these subordinates, Gianna couldn't stop everyone from talking about it.
'The news spread so quickly?' Could it be that someone is stirring up emotions in it? ’
Hearing those whispers, Gianna felt more and more troubled in her heart.
The peace talks between Stormwind and Orgrimmar are canceled, and their already hostile relationship will only become more hostile to each other. The kingdom of Stormwind is a human kingdom, and the situation is expanding, which may also affect the friendly relationship between Theramore and Orgrimmar.
Who will fan the flames?
I was irritable in my heart, and a cheap smiling face appeared in the mind of the mage girl. Gianna was frightened by her own speculation, but then denied it.
Chief Sandfury does have a faint resistance to the orc tribe, but isn't he now in Theramore seeking trade negotiations with Chief Thrall? That's a good start.
"What's the matter, our beautiful and beautiful Queen of Theramore? The sad face is not so good-looking. ”
Slowly walked towards the mage tower, and the greetings of those subordinates along the way did not respond too much, and when they returned to the top of the tower, a very nice and kind female voice sounded. The voice was familiar, and when she looked up, a face that was also beautiful and extremely charming appeared in Gianna's eyes. Egwen.
"Lady Egwene!"
Seeing this beautiful, equally powerful mage, Gianna was overjoyed. All kinds of questions in her heart, as well as those inexplicable feelings and speculations, Gianna confided in Ms. Egwen. As the guardian of the Council of Tirispha, Egwene has guarded the human world for hundreds of years, and she should be able to help herself deal with this.
"Gianna, your worries are justified. I left this time because I had found some demons in Kalimdor. Demons, especially the Dreadlords, are what they do best at secretly manipulating the minds of mortal races. ”
"Lady Egwene, are you saying that King Varian is under such mental control?"
"Some speculation, Gianna. As you said, King Varian was initially willing to make peace with the orc tribe, but he didn't know what happened to make him suddenly make his current decision. If you want to get to the bottom of the matter, you should go to Stormwind for answers. ”
Indeed, news came from Stormwind that King Varian had returned to Stormwind. Rather than speculate here and try to find out the truth of the whole thing, the best way is to ask in person.
"Well, it's just that Chief Thrall is coming to Theramore, and without Varian, he still needs to negotiate amicably with Chief Sand Fury. Ms. Egwen, I had some bad thoughts, and I think Kazik should have something to do with this, do you think my concerns are justified? ”
"I don't know."
The former Guardian of Tirisfa shook her head, she couldn't speak up on this matter.
"Gianna, this Sandfury Chief does have some resistance to the Orc Tribe. Didn't you say that? He actually wants to negotiate trade with the orc tribe? ”
"yes. Any questions? ”
"It's not a matter of negotiation, it's not a question of trade. Gianna, you said that Chief Sand Fury was going to talk to the orc tribe about the timber trade, and that's the problem. ”
Timber.
Gianna actually knew what Egwen was talking about. Much of the wood of the orc tribe comes from the Ash Valley Forest, where orcs and night elves are in constant conflict. Kazik's actions seem to be financing the war between the orcs and the night elves in disguise.
Thinking of this, Gianna was really exhausted. The Orc Tribe, the Night Elves, the Sand Fury Tribe, and the Theramore forces that followed her, had joined forces against each other in Mount Hyjal. Now, how long has passed, and Lady Egwene has said that there are still those demons in Kalimdor, and even then, these former allies are almost all calculating with each other. Could this be the true face of the world, full of deceit?!
……
"Chief Thrall, our spies have determined that Varian of Stormwind has indeed returned to the Eastern Kingdoms. Our peace talks with Stormwind have come to an end, and it seems that Gianna is also distressed. ”
Above the clouds, it's a goblin airship that flew straight from Orgrimmar to Theramore. Not only the orc chieftain Thrall, but also a team of orc bipedal dragoons accompanied him. Now it was safe, only a few dragoons were on the alert, and the rest were resting on the deck of the airship.
Standing on the deck, looking down, Thrall could clearly see the city of Ratchet gradually disappearing behind him, and it would not be long before he entered Theramore's sphere of influence. Along with the Orc Chieftain, this is a troll, an 'old acquaintance' of Gianna and Kazik, and the chief of the Darkspear Clan, Woking.
"Woking, my friend, I have envisioned some possible scenarios for a meeting with Stormwind. I thought it wouldn't be that smooth, but I didn't think it wasn't going well, we didn't meet the king of Stormwind at all. But this Theramore still has to go. Orgrimmar was founded, and we have a strained relationship with the Night Elves, Theramore, the Sandfury Clan, and we need to be friendly with them. ”
"But, Chief Thrall, as you have said, Chief Kazik of the Sand Fury, he seems to be faintly resistant to us. This trade negotiation, there is a question about the timber trade, wise as you, Saar, I don't think you have thought about the crux of it. Timber, to build our homes, this requires a lot of wood. Because of this wood, we are in constant conflict with the Night Elves. The Kazik chieftain is now offering to buy these scarce timber resources from us, which can be said to be provoking an even bigger dispute between us and the Night Elves. ”
"That's right."
"Kazik is scheming against us, Sal, and even if that is the case, are you going to do what he wants?"
"Why not?!"
Holding the side of the airship with both hands, and looking into the distance, the barren land is magnificent, but it is always missing that touch of green. The barren land has vast meadows, but there is no wood that the orcs desperately need.
"Ashenvale, we have a big dispute with the Night Elves there, Woking, and there's almost no way to alleviate this. Perhaps, the wood from Stonetalon Mountain can also supply our construction needs, Stonetalon Mountain, where the Night Elves are also inhabited. Kazik's actions are indeed a sow discord between us and the Night Elves, but on the other hand, this is also a way to fund our military spending. Whatever Kazik thinks, Woking, I'm sure the Sandfury and the Night Elves have something going on as well. He was too eager......".
