Chapter Seventy-Four: Balance and Cohesion
"This" Darth Rema looked at Garrod, and he saw that Garrod was also looking at him. The two looked at each other and felt a little strange.
"Rest assured, I'm awake, my mind is clearer than ever." Glancing at Garrod and Darth Rema, Moon Shadow continued, "Maybe I was locked in a cage before. But just now I figured it out, there are some things I don't shy away from. I'm going to do it and make this world a better place. ”
"I will follow in your footsteps." Darth Rema put her hand to her chest as a sign of loyalty, and Garrod followed. At this moment, they suddenly noticed that Moon Shadow seemed to have changed a little, and his face was full of confidence. His slightly thin body seemed to have become taller at this time, making Darth Rema and Garrod look up, perhaps this is the demeanor of a king.
"Garrod, you sent scouts to keep a close eye on the Thorn Valley, and now they are in a civil war. We need to seize the right time to defeat them and bring them to their knees. Moon Shadow first assigned work to Garrod, and then looked at Darth Rema, "You go and have the soldiers camp at the southern junction to the Valley of Thorns, and let you, the diplomat, co-opt the departing troll tribe when the scouts find it." Of course, coercion is fine, we need results, not processes. But try not to stir up anger, because they will be my people soon. Moon Shadow smiled as he spoke, confident that this would succeed.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will handle this matter properly." Darth Rema said as he bowed again.
"I know you won't let me down, and this is my personal reward for you. I think you're going to love it. As he spoke, Moon Shadow reached out and appeared in front of him with two weapons, one a longsword he had forged from obsidian in the Deep Rock Continent, and the other a staff made from the branches of the World Tree. The weapon shimmered with a faint magical sheen. It is clear that these are two epic weapons.
Both Garrod and Darth Rema were overjoyed to have their weapons, and the Black Coast was famous for their early equipment. Moon Shadow is a master of magical equipment, and every piece of equipment he sells is the best and comparable to legend. They were delighted to have one, and Garrod tried to swing it with ease, like a stretch of the body, though the blade was not broad but not heavy, and the cold light on the blade clearly illustrated its terrifying sharpness.
Darth Rema also tried the staff's abilities a little. The mana amplification and mana recovery are greatly enhanced, and the wand is very distinctly shaped, and the head of the staff is a phoenix emblem with wings spreading. This is the sign of the upper elves. He put away his staff and saluted Moon Shadow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, I will use it for you." Garrod also saluted the Moonshadow.
"You don't have to, you've worked hard during my absence from Kadore, and these two weapons can only compensate for one or two at most. In the past, you could all get a lot of territory. Although the new law does not allow you to divide territories and make you lieges. But I'll compensate you in other ways. Moon Shadow smiled slightly, he regarded all his people as family more than the way of the Emperor, so he didn't want them to be burdened. Okay, you guys go get busy, I've got to go back to Cabraith and get something ready. As he spoke, the moon shadow slowly disappeared into thin air.
"Darth Rema, what do you think is wrong with him? It feels so much different! After Moonshadow left, Garrod looked at Darth Rema and sighed.
"I feel like it's a good thing, he's more of a king now than he used to be. We just have to follow in his footsteps. Darth Lema said as he straightened his clothes, "Okay, it's time for us to do the work Your Majesty has given me, I'm curious to see where he can take the whole of Kadore." Darth Rema smiled as he spoke.
With the return of the Moon Shadow, the arsenals around the City of Dawn begin to come alive. He summoned the old Ministries of the former Black Coast and the mages who had served in Quel'Thalas. Cadore began an intense process of equipment manufacturing, whether it was war or defensive armaments, it was never a topic of obsolescence. The entire factory began to work on the assembly line. Blacksmiths and tailors, as well as tanners, create primitive equipment that is carved by mages and researched by the Moon Shadow. Of course, due to the limitation of materials, the level of equipment manufactured on this scale is not too high, but it is also the best equipment.
Moreover, what the mages know is the basic runes of ordinary 'solid' and 'sharp', plus the comprehension ability is not high, but with the bonus of the power of the Titan rune, most general epic equipment is not necessarily better. Every day, a large number of weapons, armor and other equipment are produced, some of which are sent to the eastern continent and directly handed over to the army for use, and some are stored for later use. There was an air of tension throughout the sky over Cadore.
This tension certainly unnerved peace lovers such as the Druids, and Malfurion and Illidan had traveled from Felwood to find Moonshadow in person. Tyrande, who always likes to disagree with him, naturally joins this camp, and both he and Malfurion are full of fear and disgust for war, so they want Moon Shadow to know about what other plans they don't know about such a large-scale manufacturing equipment as Moon Shadow.
They went into the palace in the hope of getting an answer, and when they heard about Moonshadow's plan, Malfurion and Tyrande took a deep breath in addition to Illidan's excitement.
"You bastard, you're going to bring the whole country to disaster!" Tyrande was the first to get angry, she only wanted Kadore to be safe and stable. The crazy idea of Moon Shadow directly preparing to unify all of Azeroth was unthinkable to her. She was still cursing from time to time, "Crazy, crazy, you crazy." ”
"Old friend, although I know you don't like to hear it, I still want to say that it is too risky for you to do this, and we can easily go to the opposite side of all races." Malfurion was right, at least not jumping up and pointing at his nose like Tyrande. Illidan was noncommittal, he didn't speak, just looked at Moon Shadow and shrugged his shoulders.
"I know what you're thinking, but we've been at ease for too long. This is a disaster, especially for a world like ours. Moon Shadow said slowly, not angry at Tyrande's accusations, "Although we are almost eternal and have a stable life now, you all know what we will face in the future. So it's necessary to bring all the races of Azeroth together, and rest assured that I've considered the pros and cons. After speaking, he picked up the coffee on the desk and took a sip gently.
"Anyway, I don't agree, you don't want to take even one sacrifice from me." Tyrande was resolute, she was clearly not the kind of elf who changed her mind because of Moon Shadow's words. "Without the Priest's support on the battlefield, it will be difficult for the army to fight, and she hopes to discourage Moon Shadow from doing so.
"Tyrande, you know it's useless, my orders will not be disobeyed, even by your men's sacrifices. Of course, I hope that you will support me, and we will succeed. Moon Shadow said as he stared into Tyrande's eyes, and Tyrande went limp at the sound of Moon Shadow's words, and she knew that Moon Shadow was right. There may be some on her side, but the majority will definitely follow the king's orders. Moon Shadow frowned slightly at Tyrande's appearance, he felt a little like a villain, but there were things he had to do. Malfurion was silent for a while, he could see that Moon Shadow was determined and determined, and it was definitely not something they could persuade in a few words.
"Malfurion, as an old friend, I want you to do something. It is also a task as a diplomatic adviser to Kadore. Moonshadow paused, looked at Malfurion's expression, and continued, "I want you to lobby the Minotaur tribe." They've fought the Burning Legion with us, and you've been in contact with them, and I think you'll find a way to get them on our side. ”
"I'll do it, I know you won't change your mind about what we say. But listen to my last sentence. Malfurion looked at Moon Shadow and his eyebrows locked, and continued, "The teacher said that the way of nature lies in balance, and if all the power is concentrated in one place, it will definitely be a disaster. ”
"Malfurion I know what you mean, but magic and the way of warriors also teach me that it takes strength to be invincible. We need this in the face of the Burning Legion and others who are just as evil as they are. Moon Shadow smiled back at Malfurion. (To be continued......)
PS: Well, I'm more inspired at this time, but it's time to sleep and have to go to work tomorrow.
