Chapter 62 Meetings
"Humanity's ability to develop and reproduce is indeed a little too astonishing, and they are naturally aggressive and greedy, and there have always been some internal wars within them over the years. Especially in the past thousand years, they have been even more disobedient to us. I fear that sooner or later, they will not be satisfied with the current state of affairs and will wage war against us. Darth Rema said, frowning.
"How many people are there in the human race now, and how many soldiers are there who can fight?" When asked about this, Gadlow, who is the king's adviser, naturally needs to understand, after all, this is his duty.
"There are already more than 80 million people, and the number of soldiers who fight is controlled by various lords, but it is estimated that there are nearly 10 million." Darth Rema bowed his head slightly as he spoke, even though he was located on the Eastern Continent and had been in contact with humans. But there is no unified government for mankind now, and some detailed information is not known.
"So many !!" Malfurion couldn't help but be amazed, and everyone present was also shocked. You must know that after such a long time, Kadore has a population of less than 20 million, and an army of less than 3 million. So many troops were indeed a threat to Kadore, and everyone present couldn't help but ponder.
"So what is their average strength? What are the classes? Mavi frowned slightly and asked the key question first.
"Their overall strength is not high, almost all of them are around the sixth order. The classes are mainly warriors, but there are also some archers. However, there is a special class of human beings called paladins. This class can control a power called the Light, which is quite difficult to deal with. Darth Rema answered Mavi's question succinctly.
"Paladin? Holy Light. Tyrande seems to have taken an interest in these two terms.
"In other words, the current human race does not have a large number of lethal troops, and ranged troops, right?" Moon Shadow thought for a moment and asked, and Darth Remar nodded. "For the time being, we still have an advantage, the grinding given to us by the Ancient War has made our army's combat ability not comparable to ordinary miscellaneous armies, plus the strength of the troops currently serving is at least more than the sixth order, so we don't have to be afraid of them at all. And we also have the Legion of Magicians......" Moon Shadow was confident when she said these words.
"But the ability of human beings to reproduce and learn is really terrifying, and they can double their population in just a few decades. Although their lifespans are short, most of them can grow into a third-order or so combat officer in a few years. Our people need to grow up dozens of times longer than they do. Darth Rema said, still not very optimistic.
"You don't have to deal with this, we have two demigods in Kadore, and this deterrent power is enough for them to interrupt any arrogant thoughts. The important thing is that we have to prepare for a possible second invasion by the Burning Legion. Moon Shadow shook his head to signal that everything was okay, he had half a human soul in his body, and he was very good at stealing human nature. Human beings are a combination of contradictions, willing to leave everything behind when selfish, kind and cruel, greedy for life and afraid of death, and sometimes sacrifice for important things. The Moon Shadow will try to find a way to make all the lives in the entire continent dependent, and after the time is disrupted by him first, the second invasion of the Burning Legion will not be able to say the time at all. Everything has to be done with care.
"The second time? How is this possible・・・・・"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall obviously didn't believe it, but their pale faces showed the uneasiness in their hearts. The horror of the War of the Ancients was terrible, and no one wanted to experience it again. However, this is not their choice, and the inertia of time makes Moon Shadow feel terrible, so Moon Shadow has to prepare for the worst.
"Do you know the origin of the Burning Legion? I've told others before, but some of you may not know. Moon Shadow began to speak. From the creation of the Titans to the fall of Sargeras, Moon Shadow has spoken for a long time. Gradually, he spoke of how Azeroth had been targeted by the Burning Legion. Speaking of which, Malfurion glanced meaningfully at Darth Rema, who seemed to feel his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
"Maybe you don't know the point, but what the Burning Legion wants to destroy is the order created by all Titans. And the world of Azeroth has made them defeat once after defeating many worlds, so they will never give up the invasion of Azeroth, which is a stain on their record. Sargeras will certainly try to wash away this stain, and I think the next invasion is not far off. With that, Moon Shadow got up from her seat and slowly walked to the window.
"Then if the invasion of the Burning Legion is inevitable, why does Your Majesty still restrict the development of mages? With a large number of mages, maybe we can increase some of our odds. Darth Rema was clearly puzzled by Lunaris's words and began to ask questions.
"Our people are war-torn and I have to create an illusion for them. Just tell them it's all useless and let their hopes be dashed, do you know how cruel it is? And magic isn't everything, and my limits on magic aren't completely useless. He could at least delay the arrival of the Burning Legion a little. Moon Shadow smiled wryly as he spoke, and he was helpless about some things. But my second move should have begun, and the Well of Eternity in Quel'Thallas should have accumulated enough energy after all these years. ”
"What move?" Mavi looked at Moon Shadow with some questions, he realized that he still knew too little about this man. How many things in the vicinity he didn't know, he wanted to know this.
"I built a new Well of Eternity thousands of years ago, and then created a floating continent that we would later use to leave Azeroth when we were unable to fight the Burning Legion. You know a little bit about this, but you don't know that we Azeroth have a magical barrier made by Titans to protect it, and the source of all this energy comes from the Well of Eternity. After his explosion, the Dragonlords and I managed to create the World Tree as a replacement, but it was a simple device. What really will work is the new Well of Eternity that I have made in Quel'Salas. Moon Shadow paused. But what everyone heard was already in the clouds.
"He's right above this Cabraith, and it's an important magical node connected to the barrier of Azeroth, and I'm going to open the barrier I've sealed for thousands of years. Strengthen Azeroth by infusing it with arcane energy. This is to deter any invaders who wish to invade Azeroth. Moon Shadow finished and slowly returned to his seat.
"What does the guardian dragon think about this? Do they support it? Malfurion couldn't help but ask, his master, as Ysera's adopted son, still had a lot of respect for the guardian dragon. Or that no one can ignore this powerful force, after all, they are the guardians of the Titans.
"Rest assured, old friend, I will take care of this, you should know that I care about our people more than anyone else." Moon Shadow took a sip of the already cold coffee and replied to Malfurion slightly, who nodded and did not speak again.
"What kind of diplomatic posture should we make towards humanity?" Darth Rema was still more concerned about this matter, and he leaned down to ask again.
"You don't have to worry about human affairs, after the Moon God Sacrifice, I will personally come to the Eastern Continent, and I will personally solve the affairs there." Moon Shadow waved her hand casually, and Darth Rema nodded, after all, he recognized Moon Shadow's abilities. "Where is our main stronghold on the Eastern Continent now?" Speaking of this, Moon Shadow couldn't help but ask again, after all, many things have changed in the past four thousand years.
"In addition to the stronghold that was previously built mainly in the western grasslands, we have also built a province in the forests to the south, and the distribution of human beings is mostly in the northeast." Darth Lema answered Moon Shadow and began to think.
To the south of the Western Wilderness is the Twilight Forest, an area next to the Windward Trail and further south to the Valley of Thorns. The Twilight Forest was a continuous stretch of farms and forests before the Orc invasion, and like many small towns, it sent tribute to Stormwind and Lordaeron to the north. But then, in just five years, the region declined at an alarming rate.
This is thanks to the Tower of Medivan and the growing number of ogres in Azeroth. The undead who woke up from the Third World War also played a little bit of a boost. However, the danger that will appear in this area now is more likely to be the trolls of the Southern Thorn Valley.
