619. Meeting
The panda people moved faster than Du Teng imagined, and on the third day after Du Teng returned, the White Tiger Temple sent a messenger to tell Du Teng that the other factions had already sent people, and now they were waiting for Du Teng.
After thanking the messenger, Duten began to clean himself up.
He wore a suit of armor at random, although the previous armor was very strong, but it had been completely destroyed under his self-explosion, but as a strong man of the warrior profession, of course, he could not go to the meeting directly wearing leather armor or cloth shirt, in order to show his perseverance, he found a black armor that looked quite powerful from the supplies he carried with the ship.
Carrying the exterminator behind him at will, Du Teng, under the leadership of the envoy of the White Tiger Temple, led a dozen guards and walked up the tunnel in the hinterland of the mountain.
The White Tiger Temple was on the other side of the tunnel, which almost crossed the northern ridge of the Kunlai Mountains, and by the time Du Teng finally walked out of the tunnel, he was already in the White Tiger Temple.
"Your Highness, please go this way."
Du Teng was enjoying the scenery of the White Tiger Temple, but the envoy said very indifferently.
Du Teng didn't mind, and followed the other party towards the White Tiger Hall of the White Tiger Temple. This White Tiger Hall is the most important building of Whitebeard, and it is the place where all the disciples of the White Tiger Temple will be tested and challenged, and only the disciples who pass the challenge will have the qualification to go down the mountain to experience.
Today, however, the place has been renovated, not only has the snow been swept away along the way, the trees have also been decorated with ornaments, and in the main hall, there is a large table, and the table is already full of people.
Du Teng walked into the main hall, and the others stood up one after another.
Du Teng glanced at it, among these people, there were only a few people he knew.
For example, Zhu Talan, for example, Master Shangxi, such as Chen Storm Spirits, etc., as for the four masters of the Four Spirits Temple, he doesn't know it, and he doesn't want to know it, anyway, these people will definitely not form an alliance with him, and the only ones who can really fight for it are the Wuchen Temple represented by Master Shangxi, and the Storm Distillery represented by Chen Storm Spirits.
The former is one of the most powerful monasteries of the Panda People, and its armed forces are quite strong, no less than Gilneth. The latter is a major logistical support, and the Storm Distillery can brew a variety of fine wines with special properties, which greatly improves the combat capability of the coalition forces.
It's just that Chen is not a person who can get along very well, or rather, for Du Teng, the young head of Storm Spirits, is not a person who can easily deal with him. There is no other reason, just because the relationship between this young master and the tribe is very good.
Chen Storm Spirits was born and raised on Lost Isle, a vast land on the back of the giant tortoise god Mako. There, he honed his martial arts and wanted to emulate the pandaren travelers who had left Pandaria thousands of years ago to explore and discover new lands and new materials for legendary wines. Chen's wanderings led him on one adventure after another, from the creation of the hugely popular Wine Festival to the birth of Durotar.
During his adventures, he became good friends with Lexa and helped an orc shaman. When Lexa had completed all of Durotar's missions, Thrall asked Lexa to travel to a small outpost on the shores of the Endless Coast, south of Durotar. Lexa discovered a large number of anomalous movements of humans in the area and reported the news to Thrall.
Then he was tasked with finding out why Durontar's Thunder Lizard had started going berserk. Lexa discovers that humans are behind the scenes: their mining camp has disturbed the thunder lizards. After these events, Lexa's heart is no longer inclined to the human side.
When he and Nazgrell returned to the outpost on the Endless Shore, he found that all the orcs had been slaughtered by the human invaders! Enraged, Lexa ignored the "non-aggression pact" and quickly swept away the blood-stained slaughterers.
Lexa returned to Sal to report on the human offensive. Sal is so outraged by humanity's sabotage of the peace deal that he even wonders if Gianna Proudmore is as distracted as other human politicians. However, Thrall and Lexa's friend, the Troll Shadow Hunter Rock Khan, interrupt their discussion and tell them of their concerns about the human attack on the Darkspear Troll territory.
Unsurprisingly, the human fleet razed the unfortunate Darkspear Troll clan to the ground. Woking, the leader of the Dark Spear Trolls, turned Lexa, Lao Chen, and Rock Khan into bipedal wyverns, and launched a fierce attack on the human warship! Next, Wojin led the Darkspear Troll tribe to retreat inland, and these three strong men took care of the humans!
The situation is becoming increasingly tense.
Later, Thrall receives Gianna Prodmoore's advice on negotiations, and he realizes the danger possible, and Lexa volunteers to meet with Gianna. When Lexa arrives at the meeting place, he doesn't see Gianna, but is besieged by a group of humans, and Thrall is aware of the danger of the situation.
So Lexa decided to go and interview Gianna, and Thrall arranged a thorough cover for the operation, arranging a massive explosion on the shore of Theramore to distract the guards. Lexa managed to enter Theramore, and Gianna claimed that she knew nothing about the fleet's operations. Gianna wanted to see evidence of the "aggression", and Lexa took her to Durontar - where they were attacked by Naga, and after a fierce battle, one of the surviving human sailors told Gianna, "The Admiral will be glad to see you." ”
Gianna and Lexa return to the island of Theramore, where they meet Admiral Dalyn Prodmore. Admiral Prodmore did not listen to Gianna's advice and insisted on the war with the orcs, intent on killing Lexa, who escaped from Theramore with Gianna's help.
After helping Woking do many things, Lexa finally gained Woking's trust. Woking told him to go to the Minotaur tribe to find another helper for Thrall in Daelin's imminent invasion. However, when Lexa asks Kane Bloodhoof for help, Kane tells him "I'm tired of killing and told Sal I'm dead." ”
Kane's assistants explain to Lexa that Kane's son, Bane Bloodhoof, has been kidnapped by the centaurs, which is why he is so upset. Lexa and the Minotaurs rescued Bane, and the Minotaurs came to Durontar to help their orc and troll friends.
Obviously, these allies alone are not enough, and Lexa decides to go and recruit the Stonehammer Ogre of the Dust Swamp. After passing a series of trials, Lexa joins the Ogre Horde; Soon after, he defeated the chief of the Ogre tribe and became the leader of the Stonehammer Ogre.
Lexa led his ogre forces to Tidebend, where they prepared to repel Prodmore's army with orcs, trolls, and minotaurs. Sal was shocked by Lexa's results and awarded him the title of "Warrior of the Tribe".
Finally, the united horde drove the human forces back to the Dust Swamp, and then to the island of Theramore, annihilating Daelin's forces in one fell swoop. Lexa and Daelin engage in a fight to the death; After a hard-fought battle, Lexa finally kills Dalin. He told Gianna: "Your father is a strong warrior".
It's over. The Horde was completely victorious, and the humans of Seramo would no longer attack them; And the peace agreement between Sal and Gianna was re-established.
Chen was involved in this whole process, and it can be said that he witnessed the establishment of the tribe with his own eyes.
Just some time ago, he and his niece Lili embarked on an adventure and obtained the mysterious Pearl of Pandaria. With the help of the Orb, he returned to his ancestors' hometown, Pandaria, for the first time.
Throughout all his life experiences, Chen still loved the whole tribe very much, whether it was the Frozen Throne or the dagger in the dark who saved Woking, his every action reflected sincerity and friendliness. In his heart, he already regarded the tribe as his home.
So this person, Du Teng doesn't think he can easily win it, after all, the establishment of the alliance is bound to be opposed to the tribe, of course, the alliance is also one of the opponents of the alliance, but for Chen, maybe he doesn't care about the three-legged tripod, he only cares about the tribe, just Lexa and others.
There is also a problem here, that is, human beings, or human-led countries, are more exclusive to races that are different from human appearance. Dwarves and gnomes still have the appearance of humans, and although the Night Elves are quite different from humans, they still have the appearance of humanoid creatures after all.
Not like the tribes, either orcs or minotaurs, or trolls.
The aesthetics of both sides are completely different.
As for the panda people, in terms of appearance, for humans, they are actually no different from the minotaurs, and they all belong to the type that is completely unacceptable to human aesthetics. Therefore, Chen has also suffered a lot of discrimination in the human realm. Of course, the dwarves still welcomed him, but the humans' actions had made him unhappy.
The kindness of the tribe to him is in stark contrast to the human side,
So he will lean towards the tribe, and rightfully so.
At this time, Chen was followed by a panda man, because the appearance of the panda man was really a little different from a human, so it was basically difficult for him to distinguish the difference between the two. Of course, there are still differences, but he can't say whether the difference between the two is big or small.
Look at Zhu Talan again, Zhu Talan came alone, wearing a black leather armor with an expressionless face. It seems that for him, coming here to participate in this memory is just a routine.
On the contrary, Master Shang Xi was looking at Du Teng with curious eyes, and Ji Huozhang and Aisha Yunge behind him, both of whom were much younger than when the Panda Man plot began, looked like they were in their teens, and they were staring at Du Teng vigorously, and their curiosity could not be concealed.
These three people, Master Shangxi is the highest status of Wuchen Temple, and he is currently the head of Wuchen Temple.
And Ji Huozhang and Aisha Yunge are his two apprentices.
Aisha Yunge is a follower of the Earth and Water Sect.
The Earth and Water School pursues a solemn approach to life in silent meditation, harsh practice, and self-reflection.
Graceful and calm, Elsa has learned impeccable body and a noble and meticulous mind through persistent training. For her, the way of earth and water is the way to defend justice. She considers any victory achieved by dishonorable means to be contemptible. The culture of the alliance is eclectic, and it is its pursuit of supreme ideals and the values of justice that attract Aisha.
So in the plot, she finally joined the alliance and became the supreme leader of the pandaren alliance.
On the other hand, Ji Huozhang, as a loyal follower of the daring Huojin Sect Pandaren philosophy, firmly believes that inaction is the greatest lack of morality. In Ji's view, it is extremely honorable to defend his hometown and people at any cost.
He was outgoing and enthusiastic, but never thoughtful, and he was always the first to argue. Ji found himself aggressive and practical, in keeping with the tribe's usual style, and although it would cost him dearly, Ji decided to leave the Lost Island and join the tribe and become the supreme leader of the pandaren.
And the panda people of the future alliance and tribe all come from Wuchen Temple, that is to say, whoever can completely control Wuchen Temple will have a huge coalition army that can span the two camps.
Duten, of course, hoped to get such a coalition.
So after a brief greeting, the two sides sat down, Du Teng first explained his intentions, and then looked at the other panda leaders, waiting for their answers.
In fact, there is still a force of the panda people that has not appeared, that is, the legendary Supreme Celestial God Sect, they are a group of panda people who specialize in costuming the four spirits, and they do not participate in the rule of other panda people at all, including the Four Spirits Temple, the Shadow Trace Sect, and the Wuchen Temple, etc., are not within their consideration. They only serve the four demigods such as Snow Fury, and they don't care about anything else.
So Du Teng didn't think about them coming back at all, in fact, he didn't even look at the people from the Four Spirits Temple, his eyes were always staring at Master Shang Xi and the two apprentices behind him.
And the other party obviously understood this, so when everyone didn't speak, Master Shangxi slowly spoke.
"The panda people are a peace-loving race, and we have never been far from fighting with anyone, but we have never been afraid of fighting. Your Highness Limu, I roughly understand what you mean, you want to form an alliance outside of the alliance and the tribe to balance the dispute between the alliance and the tribe in a tripartite posture. But I would like to ask, how are you going to accomplish this idea of yours? Or, if war breaks out between the Alliance and the Horde, how do you deal with it? ”
"This is also what I want to make a special statement......" Du Teng said with a smile, he paused, and then stared at Master Shang Xi with his eyes fixed, "My alliance is also not afraid of any war, but we also advocate peace. For those who take the initiative to provoke war, take the initiative to destroy the peace, and actively threaten Azeroth, we will use the most drastic means to strike. But at the same time, for the sake of peace, we will balance the interests of all parties with a more rational and calm attitude. That's what I think, and that's what I'm going to do. ”
