Chapter 52 Resolution
In the original history of Azeroth, the High Elves withdrew from the Alliance and took a completely brainless approach.
They claimed that it was a human command mistake that led to the burning of the forest of Quel'Salas, and then withdrew from the alliance with humans without any nostalgia, in Mo Wen's opinion, this move had almost no effect except for making the humans who were already dissatisfied with the elves even more unhappy, the arrogant elves didn't seem to have thought about any diplomatic problems at all, and their cousin simply slapped the human race in the face, and then said Uncle, I'm not happy, I don't deserve to play with you' and left.
Maybe the elves at that time thought that entanglement with the human race would lead them into more war whirlpools, maybe they thought that there was a rune enchantment, and Quel'Thalas was the country that never fell, or the simple elves didn't know what diplomatic words were, and just said whatever they thought, in short, their announcement of withdrawal could be said to directly offend the human race to the end.
You elves provided some supplies without joining the war at the beginning, and we kindly helped you drive out the orcs who invaded the territory, and in the end even accused us of command errors.
The Terrans, who were already dissatisfied with the fact that the elves did not participate in the war at the beginning of the orc war, completely lost trust in their former ally, and finally led the human generalissimo Gasseris to force the blood elves to the tribal event.
It can be said that in the original history, regarding the withdrawal from the alliance, the diplomacy of the High Elves has simply failed to the extreme.
And now that he also proposed to withdraw from the alliance, although the reason given by Mo Wen was much stronger than accusing the Terran of being unfavorable in combat, in the eyes of the Terran high-level, it was not much worse than child's play.
It is true that the original covenant between the Terrans and the elves was indeed between the High Elves and the bloodline of Soladin, but over the years, the Terrans and the elves have long exceeded this range, at least when the Arathso Empire was divided, the elves did not say anything, and the interests of both sides have long been entangled together, and in the final analysis, the covenant is also based on interests, as long as there are interests, it doesn't matter who the elves signed the covenant with in the first place, isn't it?
Therefore, when they heard Mo Wen say that the descendants of Soradin had been severed, so the alliance between our High Elves and the Terrans had ended, the high-ranking people of the Terran were a little laughing in their hearts, and the original tense atmosphere was also relaxed.
Sure enough, the elves were still too tender to play politics, and the same thoughts echoed in the hearts of several kings, and then they saw Terenus cough lightly, and then said to Mo Wen with a smile: "Your Highness Kael'thas, although the covenant between you and me was indeed written in this way before, but now that time has passed, it is not impossible for us to sign a new covenant, at least judging from this victory, our alliance is still very necessary."
King Lordaeron knew very well that there might be other reasons behind the elves' withdrawal from the alliance, but this did not prevent him from using what Mo Wen said just now as an excuse to rebel against the army - since you elves use the unreasonable alliance as an excuse, then we can sign another one, unless you admit that you don't look down on our human race, then see what excuse you use to refuse!
It's a pity that looking at Terenus, who was a little colored between his eyebrows, Mo Wen was very indifferent." With whom should we sign a new covenant?"
Very insipid basis, Terenus was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then subconsciously replied: "Naturally, it is in alliance with us-"
The voice stopped abruptly, and I don't know what I thought, but King Lordaeron's face was already iron-blue, and several of the kings present also changed their faces.
A hint of mockery flashed at the corner of his mouth, but Mo Wen's eyes inadvertently glanced at the representatives of Gilneth and Alterac, and then said in a low voice: "Sign a contract with the Alliance, but I remember that two other countries have just announced their withdrawal from the Alliance, does it mean that our alliance will not include them in the future?"
Then, without waiting for any reaction from the Terran kings, Mo Wen immediately asked with some amusement: "What will we do with Quel'Salas when the alliance conflicts with these countries in the future, do you want our elves to take action and slaughter our former allies!" You may think you represent righteousness, but in the eyes of our elves, you are all human races, and there is no difference."
Mo Wen's words stabbed into the hearts of those present like a dagger, maybe they didn't realize it before, but now they have to be pulled back to reality - the alliance has been divided, the previous comrades-in-arms may become enemies in the next moment, and the current alliance does not represent the entire human race.
A hint of gloom flashed in Terenus's eyes, Mo Wen's words almost completely tore the fig leaf of the alliance, this internal division could no longer be concealed, he couldn't vent his anger at Mo Wen, so he glared at King Jean viciously, in his opinion, if it weren't for Gilneth, a bird, who was clamoring to launch the alliance, there would be so much to do today.
And Jean glared back, not to be outdone, in his heart, if it weren't for Terenus's inch, and he wanted to continue to control the alliance after defeating the orcs, the situation would not have come to this point.
The representatives of Alterac fidgeted on the sidelines, after all, they were also members of the Split Alliance, and they were one of the culprits, but it was probably because Alterac was too weak, so no one was looking for trouble with them at this time.
However, Dalaran's representative was a little unwilling, after all, the elves had the best relationship with their magical country, and the withdrawal of the elves also had the greatest impact on them, so he looked at Mo Wen and asked tentatively, "His Highness Kael'thas." Perhaps we can make a separate covenant, as long as you and each of our kingdoms areβ"
"Is Your Excellency humiliating us elves?" Before Deputy Dalaran could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Mo Wen. I saw him shout loudly: "We elves and the entire human race are equal beings, and those who can sign an alliance with our Quel'Salas can only be the representatives of all the human races." When Soladin the Great was there, we were willing to form an alliance with him, that is, he represented the entire human race, and was the same existence as our Sunseeker family, and now that the Arathor Empire is divided, it does not mean that we have fallen into a pact with his former subordinates! β
The loud voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone was stunned, Mo Wen had always been very gentle, and such an arrogant attitude and stern tone at this time made people a little uncomfortable. I just felt that it didn't look like the same person at all, but then everyone also reacted, and a trace of surprise flashed on their faces, - although this prince of the elven clan who seems to be very easy to talk to, but after all, he is still known for his arrogance, it is strange that he does not have this kind of temper, as for what Mo Wen said, it is not difficult to understand, Azeroth is still a relatively hierarchical feudal world at this time, and strength is the standard for measuring a force. Only equal parties can talk about the Covenant, otherwise it can only be a unilateral shelter or bullying of the other, or a provocation by the weak against the strong.
At this time, the power of Quel'Salas far surpassed that of any human kingdom, and only when all human races together could they have an equal status with each other. Dalaran's previous words are like asking Lordaeron, the strongest Terran, to form an alliance with a territory in the kingdom of Alterac, as long as King Lordaeron does not have a convulsion in his brain, he will never do such a disgraceful thing. And if Alterac's territory offered to form an alliance with Lordaeron, it would only be ridiculed by the whole world. Think they're not self-sufficient. After all, the words and deeds just now were also because Mo Wen's appearance had always been too harmless to humans and animals, so that Dalaran's representative ignored the power of the eternal kingdom Quel'Salas behind Mo Wen for a while. Otherwise, he would never have taken the liberty of asking such a question.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Kael'thas, I just lost my words, and I didn't mean to offend!" Being scolded by Mo Wen [splitting his head, Dalaran's representative also reacted, his face flushed slightly, and he had to lower his head to admit his mistake.
It's just that his words and deeds seem to have completely dispelled Mo Wen's patience, and he saw the latter snort coldly, and turned to King Lordaeron, who was presiding over the meeting, and said: "Your Majesty Terenus, let's be honest with you, until your human race is reunited, we High Elves will never sign a covenant with you again, and we will pay for the orc shelter, but other things, we can only say sorry!" β
After a long silence, the Terran kings were silent, and finally Terenus smiled bitterly.
"Okay, Your Highness Kael'thas, this time you won, our Terran side has its own problems, and we can't be harsh on our allies, so be it for you elves to withdraw from the alliance, I hope we will have a chance to fight side by side in the future!"
Looking at King Lordaeron, who seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, Mo Wen nodded silently in response, but a trace of disdain flashed in his heart.
Looking at the child who was sitting beside Terenus and listening blankly, he whispered softly in a voice that no one could hear: "Terenus, you don't know what the biggest problem of the human race is now, you don't know what the future disaster is, you ignore the power, and you are blindly immersed in politics, and your demise is also a matter of course. β
"There are still more than ten years to go, the most magnificent era is coming, and everything I am looking forward to will happen, and you Terenus are destined to turn into a handful of loess!"
"Death Knight, I look forward to meeting you!" (To be continued......)
