Volume VI Ice and Fire 65 Kings and Peoples
Stormwind is destroyed again.
For the first time, it was attacked, slaughtered, burned, trampled, and destroyed by orcs. The old city has since been in rubble. But one day later, it was rebuilt.
The people who built him were expelled from here, and the people who enjoyed him were rightfully served.
Today he was destroyed again, but it wasn't an earthquake, not a flood, not an orc! It's a dragon that fell from the sky.
Stormwind's glory comes not only from the majestic Valley of Heroes, with its tall and spectacular statues of heroes, but also from the heads of two dragons hanging from the city's head. One came from a black she-dragon, whose owner once had a name ...... Katrana. Presto. There was another, from an adult male dragon with a name unknown to most humans, named Nefarian.
The head of the female dragon was brought back from the swamp of Kalimdor on the western continent, and the head of the male dragon was cut from the nest of the Black Wing, the highest point of the Blackstone Mountains on the burning plains north of the Red Ridge Mountain.
The heads of these two dragons demonstrate the strength of the Stormwind Kingdom, and also represent the birth of a new power for humanity, a new leader for humanity.
But today, the light of humanity is almost extinguished, the core of the human kingdom is almost razed to the ground, and the two dragon heads are missing. All that remained were the sighing crowd, the weeping crowd, and the dying crowd.
I'm not gloating, but when I see the ruins, I can't help but think of the scene when I was working here. I was reminded of the past.
I'm a grudge bearer, and hatred isn't so easy to forget.
The streets were full of displaced people, maimed people abounded, their houses had collapsed, they had to sleep among the ruins, and even the taverns were not spared. The streets were full of soldiers, busy picking up the broken bricks and rubble, busy helping the victims.
It will take a lot of money for the city to return to its former state. And who pays for it? Ha! The treasury, of course. But where did the money come from in the treasury? Of course, it was paid by the common people. When there is not much money in the treasury, this money is not enough...... It has to be made up by the common people, and it is doubled.
In my impression, when the world is peaceful, the people at the bottom can eat, and it is good to have a place to live, and when the world is in chaos, the people at the bottom can eat, and it is even better to have a place to live. The people at the bottom are just for a bite of food, they are no different from wild beasts, pigs in the pigsty, chickens in the henhouse, sheep in the sheepfold, and cattle in the cowshed. Completely...... For a bite of food.
To live.
Now the ruler needs the people again, he needs the working people again!
Come, give your money, and your labor, and your lives! Come on! For Stormwind, for the King! In order to...... Glory!
Glory...... Who is it for?
Is it the king's? Is it for the common people?
The king is so strong! The king is so powerful! The king is so wise!
The king, cheered by the crowd, was radiant, majestic, and towering. The people below who raise their hands and cheer give everything they have to make this person radiant, majestic, and famous! Then say you're proud.
When they see these people lying in the ruins, is this their pride?
Yes, man is a social animal, he needs to lead, he needs to be led, otherwise he can't do anything big as a collective, I admit it, and I can't solve such a problem, or this is an eternal problem, a problem that can never be solved, an eternal cycle of eliminating the other.
It's just that most people at the bottom will never think of it, and even if they do, they can't change anything.
A ruler will always be a ruler, and the people will always be the fuel for the empire to advance.
Burn yourself and warm the ruling class.
The priests and monks on the street are busy all the time, and it is their duty to save lives and help the wounded, because although they are not the ruling class, they serve the ruling class and are the most powerful arm that the ruling class can never do without.
Religion plays a vital role in calming the masses and maintaining stable rule in times of disaster. Once you have faith, you have idols, and if you have idols, you will blindly follow.
Yes, I am not wrong with this word, it is blind obedience!
Everything that idol says is right, everything is good, and the appearance is cute and amiable no matter how you look at it, and the reputation must be maintained. And its followers will fall into complete blindness, lose themselves, lose consciousness, and willingly give everything they have.
Didn't I say that religion is bad, religion is good, persuade people to be good! Is it just to be friendly?
But the flexibility of this thing is too large, and the human nature is like the channel in charge of fertility and entertainment in people, and how inclusive it can be depends entirely on the contents. It can be infinitely inclusive, or it can be difficult to move an inch.
Hehe, do you know why it's so hard to move an inch?
You're still young, so you may not be able to understand what I'm saying. When you get to that level and need to mix in that circle, you'll know what I mean by that.
And I think...... You're going to need it.
But I advise you to hurry, after all, I don't have much time left for you.
Fear?
Why should I be afraid?
You tell them, and a lot of people in your hierarchy already know about it. But only the top management knows, and the people don't know yet. I just want you to tell some people, and then when the end comes, they know how to run, how to hide, how to prepare in advance, and then there will be revenge and resentment and complaining.
Huh, got it?
And...... I can tell you now what you will face in the future.
That's ...... All the ...... in my heart Resentment.
There are pure people in this world, first of all some babies, and then some pious young boys and virgins, all of which have not been polluted by your civilization.
Why partial? And is it some?
People have souls, but when this soul is attached to them, it determines whether the person will be a so-called good person or a "bad person" as you call it. This thing is determined by nature, of course, there will be a reason for the day after tomorrow, but ...... Innate is more critical.
These sinful, flawed souls determine whether these children will raise a butcher's knife against their own people, take off their pants, be treacherous and deceitful, or steal chickens and dogs. And the hearts of some young men and virgins are pure before they are civilized. Can be contaminated once ......
A drop of ink in a glass of pure water, although you may not see the change in color, ...... It's actually contaminated.
Everyone's soul is such a glass of water, some are pure black, some are cloudy, and what I want to do is to extract the black from everyone's glass of water, and these darkness is the judgment you will face.
Prayer?
Ha! Are you saying that they should start to become religious now?
This utilitarian behavior will only make this glass of water darker and darker.
Whether it's good or evil, it's all from the heart. This kind of thing...... In your words...... It's sincere! It is an emotion and willingness that comes from the bottom of the heart, wholeheartedly, and is not mixed with any other thoughts.
All the acts of forcing yourself...... It's all fake.
It's like an actor, you look at the performances of those people in the stand, some of them look like they're acting, and some of them you feel...... Ah, that's the man! That character should be him! He's what that character should be.
It's something like this, can you understand it?
Hmph, it's okay if you don't understand, huh...... Your eyes and expressions tell me a lot, and the two of us have known each other for more than ten hours, I ...... I want to tell you that you better be prepared too. Don't be surprised when you see another you standing in front of you! And I've got some small gifts for you, as you'll see.
Well, let's get down to business and talk about Stormwind.
You should know about this, yes, it's something that the whole world has been worrying about in the past few years.
Former Guardian of the Earth, Deathwing, Destroyer...... Nefario and the feats he performed.
Actually, he also has two names, one is Davar. Presto.
That's right, it's Katrana. Presto's ......
No...... Not a brother, but a father!
He also had another name, Farrell Nerta, and he also gave himself the title of count. You have to remember this name, it should be kept, though the people of Lordaeron don't know it, not even the most knowledgeable of your royal library directors.
It's not that this man's influence isn't big enough, or because he doesn't deserve to be mentioned, but because his presence has led to the North standing by and watching the orcs invade the Stormwind Kingdom. That's the man! That's the name. But later, due to the war and the fall of the Stormwind Kingdom, this matter was overshadowed.
Hum...... I knew this guy was fake when he showed up, and I had a premonition that something was going to happen, but this guy was beyond my imagination, and he not only ruined me, but almost beheaded. Later, the kingdom of Stormwind was destroyed and fled to the north, and Lordaeron took in the refugees, but no one would be happy to mention it.
The people of the Stormwind Kingdom would not ask King Terenus why he would not save him when he saw him. Tyrenus wouldn't say that I had been deceived by an earl who claimed to be the Stormwind Kingdom. But I offended a lot of people at that time, and I offended at both ends.
Ha! I had returned to Stormwind Kingdom from Lordaeron, claiming to be reinforcements from King Alterac. This is awkward for both parties. So no one mentioned it, and it is impossible for anyone to mention it.
Do you understand?
