Chapter 287: The Butterfly Effect That Gradually Emerges
"Is it finally here?"
Tulayan's open call-up did not come as a surprise to Sarjan.
Comparing the chronological time provided by the barrage, the timeline that Saljan is in, the collapse of the Lordaeron Alliance is earlier than netizens in the other world know.
Terenus had always dreamed of merging the kingdoms of humanity and making Lordaeron the second unified empire.
In order to achieve this dream, he cheekily swallowed the entire kingdom of Alterac, leaving not even the broth for Gilneth and Stormgard.
In addition to this, Terenus also tried to use the orc asylum as an excuse to force other Alliance members to share the costs and weaken the other countries.
In the original history, Gilnes, Stormgard and Kurtilas did not turn against Lordaeron so early, and reluctantly pinched their noses and gave out the money.
This is also a helpless move, and if he does not agree to Terenus's proposal, the shameless old fellow will cut off trade with them.
The wealthy Kurtilas were fearless about this, but the already poor Stormgard could not afford such economic sanctions, and Gilneth, whose national strength was inferior to Lordaeron, was not ready to completely turn against them.
It wasn't until a few years later, when the Gilneth Kingdom's Wall of Greymane was completed and had a strong external defense capability, that Jean Greymane, who couldn't bear it, officially withdrew from the alliance.
Taking this as an opportunity, Stormgard and Kul Tiras, who had been prepared for a long time, also withdrew, and the Lordaeron Alliance officially collapsed after 15 years of the Dark Gate.
In the world in which Sarian lives, the actions of Sarjan's family have caused a series of butterfly effects.
Under the unintentional facilitation of Sarren, Kul Tiras was the first to form a comprehensive strategic alliance with Quel'Thalas.
With Kurtiras as an example, Gilneth and Stormgard, who were extremely disgusted with Terenus, did not hesitate to withdraw from the alliance after reaching a trade cooperation with Quel'Thalas.
Confident, Terenus lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
If you pretend to be forced by yourself, you have to finish it with tears.
Most of the cost and maintenance costs of building an orc shelter fell on the kingdom of Lordaeron, so that Lordaeron, which had not yet fully digested Alterac, began to decline earlier than the original history.
Without the support of the three human kingdoms of Gilneis, Stormgard, and Kurtilas, the Alliance's armies inevitably shrunk.
was tricked by the orcs in front of a set of big flower guns, and Tulayang's face naturally did not look good.
After the orcs fled back to Draenor, he immediately called on the Alliance soldiers at Fort Watch to pursue them through the Dark Gate.
However, due to the lack of troops, the first group of Alliance expeditionary forces had more than enough strength and could only set up a front-line fortress in the wasteland named Hellfire Peninsula.
Ordered Danas Thorbain, who had been banished for the throne, to stay behind on the Hellfire Peninsula, and Tulayan hurriedly returned to Azeroth with Aurelia and Khadgar.
In the name of protecting the future of Azeroth, he openly recruited generals and soldiers from all the countries of the Eastern Kingdom.
The old and sophisticated Anastria had long seen the nature of Terenus and had no interest in playing games with the ambitious human king.
But the orcs had made it to the gates of Silvermoon and humiliate Quel'Thalas, and it was impossible to say that Anastria did not have a grudge against the barbarians who had come to the city.
Considering that his governing philosophy was no longer compatible with the current new era, Anastria did not make a decision immediately, but relayed the news to Prince Kael'thas in Sulama.
Compared to Anastria, who pursued stability and no success in old age, the young Prince Kael'thas was more energetic.
Whatever the Coalition may be up to, orcs who have drunk demonic blood are a real threat to the kingdoms of Azeroth.
If the orc threat can be solved once and for all, Kael'thas is willing to provide reinforcements to Tulayan.
The premise is that the army sent by Quel'Thalas will not be politically involved by "some" of the alliance, and will only be directly under the orders of Tulayan and Aurelia.
As Anduin Lothar's deputy, the second generalissimo of the Alliance, and one of the first paladins, Tulayan's noble character has long been recognized by many parties.
Kael'thas was willing to hand over his army to Commander-in-Chief Tulayan and Aurelia, but he didn't want "some" country that had been struggling lately to take advantage of it.
"I see."
Saljan asked thoughtfully, "What about the time limit?" When is the deadline for this call-up? ”
"A month later."
Hadurun, who has always been a fool, put on a rare serious expression: "Prince Kael'thas has confirmed that he will send reinforcements, and considering the coordination with other participating countries, this army will be dominated by rangers as mages. ”
Salian nodded knowingly: "It's normal, the alliance is not short of cannon fodder in the front row, what they lack is strong support in the back row, and His Royal Highness the Prince's arrangement is very reasonable." ”
Haduron patted Sarean on the shoulder: "If you and Valera decide to join this expedition, Prince Kael'thas will open a special high-speed passage for you to ensure that you can reach the Watchport within a day." ”
"Hmmm......"
Salian pondered for a moment and threw the question to Valilla beside him, "What do you say?" ”
Valilla shrugged her shoulders disappreciatively: "Whatever you want, I can do it, and I'll follow you wherever you go anyway." ”
"If you decide to join this expedition, we must resolve the hidden crisis at the High Ridge as soon as possible."
"It's best to get in touch with Prince Kael'thas first, and formally establish cooperation with the Kaolin clan at the official level."
The hidden problem of the Supreme Ridge has not yet surfaced, and it is unlikely that the enemy's feet will be found in a short period of time by relying on the secret passage and the covert exploration of Salian and others.
If the Gaoling clan can be mobilized to participate together, the four major clans, as the head snakes of the land, will definitely be able to greatly speed up the search process and force the black hands hiding in the shadows to show their feet.
Saray quickly made up his mind: "I've always regretted that I couldn't officially participate in the orc war, and I don't want to let go of this opportunity to make amends." ”
"Stella, please send a letter to Prince Kael'thas where I will explain the problems facing Supreme Ridge today."
"Reaching a cooperation with the Kaolin Minotaur will definitely bring a lot of benefits to Quel'Thalas."
For some reason, after hearing the news from the eastern kingdom of Haduron, Stellagosa seemed to be preoccupied.
Hearing Sarren's commission, she pulled herself together and nodded her head in agreement.
Saljan, who was elsewhere, did not notice these details, took out his pen and paper and began to write.
Valilla saw the change in Stella Gossa's demeanor, and there was a vague look of amusement in her eyes.
'Heh~ Looking ahead, it's really just an inexperienced little girl. ’
……
Knowing that Sarren had established initial contact with the Kaolin Minotaurs, Kael'thas, who was teaching an apprentice in Shar Aland, couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"This guy Salian really can't sit still, and going out for a walk can also involve national affairs."
Gianna tilted her little head and asked curiously, "Mentor, don't the Minotaurs live in Kalimdor?" Why there will be here too. ”
Kael'thas gently explained, "Just as the elves had branches of the Night Elves, the High Elves, and the Children of the Night, the ancient race of the Minotaurs has branched off from a long history. ”
"For example, the yak people rooted in the cold land of Northrend, and the bison people lost in the continent of Pandaria, etc., Kaolin Minotaur is also one of them."
Gianna nodded as if she didn't understand: "Just like the great kingdoms of the human race?" ”
"That's pretty much it."
Although Gianna is still young, she is the princess of Kul Tiras, and she has learned a lot since she was a child, and knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Seeing Kael'thas step aside and whisper to Warretar and other advisors, the little princess withdrew her attention without hesitation, and raised her little head to look at the artificial magic lamp in Shar Alan.
"Brother Sarean, they are going through interesting adventures again, and I wish I could grow up soon, so that I can follow them to explore this mysterious and vast world."
