Chapter 409: Night Elf Republic?
During the Battle of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, Malfurion Fury was undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the mortal camp, and he made a significant contribution to the eventual expulsion of Sargeras and the Burning Legion.
Studied under the demigod Cenarius of the forest, Malfurion was the first druid of Azeroth's history, and the strongest druid to date, if not one.
Vandal Deerhelm, Korda Steelpaw, Sean Moonpaw, and Lensar Giant Hoof were all stalwarts of the Cenarion Council, all of whom were disciples of Malfurion.
Don't look at the original history in which Malfurion squatted in the beast's den all day long and slept a lot, in fact, he did not touch the fish, but assisted the green dragon in the Emerald Dream to maintain the dream world and curb the expansion of the nightmare power.
According to the barrage, in the plot of the game they knew, Malfurion's role was consciously compressed, and his strength also dived significantly.
In the end, Malfurion is too strong to play without cutting him.
As long as there is a forest, theoretically he can summon an entire army of Treants and War Ancient Trees alone, how can he fight?
Compared to Malfurion's personal prowess at the pinnacle of mortals, his ability to govern was not very good.
…… But one thing to say, no matter how cold it is, it's much better than Tyrande.
With Garrod's return, Mavi, who was already disheartened, rekindled her fighting spirit and wanted to change the status quo of the Night Elves being raised by Tyrande.
But it will not be easy to achieve this goal, and Tyrande, who is still addicted to food, will not obediently hand over the authority.
Although Malfurion was very embarrassed by Tyrande's way of holding on to power, he was also his own stupid mother-in-law, and he was not good at elbowing outward.
After the last great gathering of the tribes of Azeroth, the conflict between the Shadow Elf conservatives and reformists finally officially erupted.
This internal dispute was jokingly called the tearing between two strong women by the barrage.
Although Garrod, Deerhelm, and Malfurion also have the heart to change the status quo of the Night Elves, except for Deerhelm, who is more aggressive, the other two are out-and-out honest people with relatively gentle personalities.
The real charge was nothing more than the two lionesses of Tyrande and Mavi, who would not give an inch to each other.
After suppressing Illidan Fury in the Watcher's Prison for 10,000 years, Mavi saw all of Tyrande's deeds in those 10,000 years.
With the return of his only relative, Garrod, with his wife, Mavi, who has rekindled her fighting spirit, finally suffers from Tyrande's incompetence.
According to the information sent back by the spy agents of Backlight Blade, there are still many priestesses in the Luna belief system who firmly believe in Mavi and believe that she is the true leader who can lead the Church of the Luna and the Night Elves back to the top.
Tyrande? It's just an old king who fell from the sky with Elune's favor.
If it weren't for Tyrande, with Mavi's ability and qualifications, the authority of the High Priest would not have fallen to anyone else.
Although Tyrande has promoted many loyal young cronies in the Church of the Moon God over the past 10,000 years, those veteran priests have always been dissatisfied with her and have always listened to her.
After Mavi officially returned, she shouted the slogan of innovation and waved her arms, and the senior priests who had been waiting for a long time did not hesitate to join her command.
The Luna Priests loyal to Tyrande still sit on Mount Hyjal, while the Priests who follow Mavi are stationed in Astrana in the Ashen Valley with their spiritual leader.
While both sides are intent on controlling the scale of the conflict, continuing this internal friction may split the still united Night Elves into two nations with different philosophies.
This is clearly an outcome that Malfurion does not want.
It was a matter of national importance, and Malfurion could not continue to pull the strings, and he finally decided to stand up and settle this internal dispute.
After secretly passing the gas with Garrod, he first made a suggestion.
Since the fall of the Night Empire, the Night Elves of the post-Azhara era have not established a de jure unified state, and Malfurion and Tyrande are only nominal race leaders.
When challenged by other authority figures within the race, even if the two want to use their power to forcibly suppress it, it will be a bit unjustifiable.
This strange form of government has been able to maintain for so many years, and Tyrande is definitely to blame.
In Malfurion's opinion, the Night Elves did not need to have a king on top of their heads, so the government of empires and kingdoms was impossible.
Garrod had previously obtained a lot of information about the current world when he was communicating with Salian in Asuna, and learned that there was a special kind of governing body such as the Council in the kingdom of the High Elves.
No king? It doesn't matter, it's okay to have a parliamentary coalition.
Tyrande and Mavi are not subordinate to each other, and continuing to make trouble with them will only harm the interests of the Night Elves as a whole.
In that case, it would be better to put both of them within the framework of parliament and form a new form of government in which the direction of the country is determined by voting.
Hearing this, Sarjan looked at the deer helmet with a strange expression.
“…… Parliamentary? A well-elected leader would be a proper republic. ”
"Elected leaders? Republic? ”
The deer's helmet froze for a moment, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
The corners of Sarjan's mouth twitched slightly: "I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously." ”
"No ......"
The deer helmet rubbed his thick beard thoughtfully: "Maybe...... Feasible? ”
Neither Malfurion nor Garrod were professional political leaders, and the form of government they had conceived was imperfect and had many loopholes.
The big question is who should appoint the appointment, dismissal, and change of leadership.
Without a mature plan that works, even if a parliament is formed, it will eventually turn into an embarrassing situation.
Unlike Quel'Thalas's kingdom system, the republic system was learned by Sarjan from the barrage, and theoretically does not exist at this stage in Azeroth.
The core of the republic system is the election of leaders, and there is no such thing as the divine right of the monarch and the monarch of the mandate of heaven, and there will be no hereditary ruling power, and the will of the people is the foundation of the state system.
In the different world where the barrage is located, the history of the republic can be traced back to a country called Ancient Greece.
In their opinion, the Night Elves' current loose government without a king does have a basis for a republic.
But the premise is...... The current nominal Night Elf leader can accept the consequences of losing the election.
That's you, Tyrande.
Malfurion's desire to rally the Elves was to brainstorm and use the wisdom of these distant relatives to help the Night Elves develop a new government that would be stable for a long time.
Of all the elven leaders, Malfurion was the most humble.
But the xenophobic thinking engraved in the elves' bones still influences some of his decisions.
Now, for example, when faced with a political crisis, Malfurion's first consideration is not to humans, dwarves, gnomes, and minotaurs, but to seek the help of relatives such as the High Elves, High Elves, and Children of the Night.
Malfurion must sit in Nodashir, with him and Garrod there, and still be able to barely suppress Tyrande and Mavi, who are incompatible.
However, repression is not a long-term solution after all, and the contradictions that accumulate deeper and deeper will eventually erupt again one day.
“emmmmmm……”
Salian said with some confusion: "Don't rush to a conclusion, let's talk about the specific time of this elf gathering first." ”
The deer helmet shook his head, putting aside some of the thoughts carved into his mind for a moment.
"Two months later, it will be held in the Dream Woodland of Varsara, and all members of the Elven Clan can elect representatives to participate."
Salian nodded solemnly: "Yes, I will convey the news to Prince Kael'thas." ”
"Even if he can't be there in person due to complicated affairs in the kingdom, Quel'Salas will send heavyweight representatives to the meeting."
Deer Helmet sighed softly: "I hope that day will come sooner, I'm really fed up with the oppressive atmosphere during this time." ”
Watching Deerhelm lead the delegation out of Unicorn Village toward the northern part of the forest, Sarean watched their backs rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"Parliament, is it a republic......
Valilla, who was beside Saljan, raised her eyebrows: "What?" Do you really have a plan? ”
"Sort of."
Saljan, who came back to his senses, smiled noncommittally: "It's too early to think about this, let's wait until the enthronement ceremony is over to think about it in the long run." ”
