"Humanity doesn't need allies hiding behind itself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
King Solas retorted.
"Ms. Aurelia has been fighting alongside us."
Arthas's childish voice came from the doorway.
Although this didn't seem to be the occasion for him to interject, Arthas felt compelled to say something for his friend, Winlesa Windranger.
However, because of his previous performance in the war, no one had any objection to Alsace's statement.
Of course, this is not about the content of the statement itself.
"Arthas, I think you may have forgotten that Lady Aurelia acted voluntarily, and that the High Elf kings and their council chose neutrality when we needed them most."
King Solas said.
"But the High Elves are different from the trolls, they don't hurt us."
For some reason, Daylin Proudmore hesitated and expressed his support for the High Elves.
"Neutrality is also a disservice to both sides that are allies of each other."
King Solas replied.
This sentence silenced Daylin Proudmoore, and at this moment, Drake actually felt that his father was a little depressed.
High Elf ...... What reminded my father? - Drake thought puzzled.
"If we declare war on the High Elves, we will inevitably hurt the High Elf rangers who fight alongside us...... In all likelihood, we will still be enemies of them. I don't think that's what the fighters like to see. ”
Prince Danas tactfully reminded his uncle.
"You can't just leave it at that."
King Terenus spoke suddenly.
Arthas opened his mouth, not saying anything.
At this time, the prestige of King Terenus was even greater than that of the original time stream, and once he decided something, no one in the alliance could object.
All those who had the right to vote against it, with the exception of Jean Torbain, were friends of King Terenus.
"If in the future...... We all know that there is an even bigger crisis coming. At that time, if the High Elves had chosen neutrality again......"
King Terenus's words silenced everyone present.
Most people don't want to go to war with the High Elves - the alliance between the two sides has lasted for thousands of years, even taking up a large part of human history.
The most glorious empire in human history is inseparable from the High Elves, and the most magnificent magical city, Dalaran, also has a considerable number of High Elf mages living in it.
Not to mention the relationship between the two sides, if there is a war with the High Elves, those agile rangers and those mages who are proficient in magic will be a nightmare for mankind.
And whether such a war can be fully supported by Dalaran is still unknown.
At least in the Kenrito Council of Dalaran, there are two High Elves.
(Crassus is also a High Elf by appearance.) )
But if that's it......
This act of neutrality, like a fishbone, stalks between humans and the High Elves.
Humanity's trust in the High Elves has taken a huge hit, and apparently, such High Elves are no longer worthy of human trust.
"The cost of rushing to war is too great."
Anduin Lothar said.
"We have the Red Dragon now."
King Solas felt that he had a new ally, and perhaps he could teach his old haughty allies a lesson.
"With all due respect, Her Excellency the Queen of the Red Dragon trusts Winlesa more than me, and as you know, Lady Aurelia's sister."
Arthas reminded.
"There will be no war, there is no point in that. However, these less loyal allies will have to pay some price. ”
King Terenus made the final decision.
"So what are you going to do? Terenus. ”
King Solas asked.
"We need reparations, and that must be made clear to the High Elves. They can't act as if nothing happened. As for what's next...... Then wait until they have a reply before making a decision. ”
King Terenus said.
"yes, you can't just leave it at that."
King Solas nodded.
Arthas stood in the doorway and smiled bitterly - how did he become like this? That yourself...... Do you want to tell Aurelia and Winlessa? What should I tell them?
Arthas was not interested in continuing to hear what was going on, although the kings still had a lot to discuss, but it was mostly a matter of detail.
The tone for the future of the Alliance has been set - to repair the Watchkeep, restore the power of the country before the orc invasion, and then launch a retaliatory attack on the trolls, pirates of the South Seas, and the Black Iron Dwarves after regaining the power.
Given that the dwarves had gone for a drink, King Terenus might have to talk to the dwarves alone after the meeting.
In addition to paying tribute to the Black Iron Dwarves, the Dwarves' long-standing enemies, the Brute Hammer Clan should be able to help with the trolls in the jungle.
King Soras's desire to finish his meal was still frustrated, and when it came down to detail, it took up more of the kings' time.
Archmage Antonidas and Alfonso Diltara took turns, one conceiving the construction of the Watchfort and the other converting them into gold.
Alfonso's arithmetic skills were so strong that they hurt His Majesty the Kings - the money spent on post-war recovery was divided equally among each kingdom, but it was a lot of money!
That's pretty good—Arthas thought to himself.
In the original time stream, there would be a large group of orc captives waiting for you to settle them, and that would cost a lot of money.
"Why do we want to split the same amount of money with this guy? This guy didn't do anything in the war! ”
King Solas grumbled dissatisfiedly.
However, His Majesty's complaint was not unfounded—the role played by the Kingdom of Gilneth in this war was naturally not the same as that of Riptide Castle.
Jean has a different opinion, though.
"The reason why the orcs have done harm to the kingdom of Stormgard and not to Gilneth is because our two countries are in different positions. My subjects don't pay more taxes because of Gilnehs' remoteness. ”
Jean Greymane said.
"But our warriors on the Arathi Heights are still in the camp in the southern part of the continent, while you cowards of Gilneth are still hiding behind the walls."
King Solas won't miss an opportunity to taunt Jean Greymane.
"The cowards you speak of are happy to take your place in the place of your soldiers and go to the southern camp to garrison. Because I'm fed up with you complaining like a. ”
Jean Greymane said coldly.
