Chapter 1036: Alliance Reconstruction
It has been almost 10 years since the alliance was essentially divided.
Ten years is nothing for a long-lived species, but in a short-lived community like humans, 10 years is enough for a lot to happen.
The original alliance was to fight together against the powerful foreign enemy of the orc tribe, so that the controversy could be put aside and united.
In a similar vein, Galia called on the kings of the former alliance members to gather in the royal city of Lordaeron to discuss how to deal with it, using the Burning Legion, which was about to invade again, as an imaginary enemy.
It has to be said that this trick is very effective.
Except for Dalaran, who has always had the habit of collecting knowledge, the human countries actually lack sufficient understanding of the Burning Legion.
This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the real rise of human civilization is only about 3,000 years ago, and the great war that happened 10,000 years ago is too far away for them.
Galia took a trick and connected the Burning Legion with the orc tribes that had caused deep damage to the countries of the Eastern Continent, and bluntly pointed out that the Burning Legion was the real mastermind behind the orc invasion.
The War of the Ancients is too far away, and the First and Second Orc Wars are history that many human kings have witnessed with their own eyes.
Solitary in the south, Stormwind Kingdom is closest to the Dark Gate, and Stormwind King Varian Ureon is one of the most active leaders in rebuilding the Alliance.
While Varian was a bit sorry for not being able to "inherit" the Coalition from Lordaeron, now was not the time to think about it.
Once the Dark Gate is reopened, the Stormwind Kingdom will bear the brunt of the onslaught of the Burning Legion, and they are in desperate need of assistance from the Northern Kingdom.
Under Varian's deliberate co-optation over the years, the relationship between the Stormwind Kingdom and Kazmodan and Nomorigen has become closer and closer.
Magni and Gerbin Mecatork also expressed their approval, and Furstad Hammer naturally voted in favor of them.
To Varian's surprise, his positive statements also garnered the support of an unexpected race.
Black Iron Dwarves.
In the past six months, the dwarves of the three tribes have sent diplomatic envoys many times to form tripartite talks.
Grumpy dwarves spit at the meeting, fighting for the good of their own people.
Under the ambiguous attitude of the Brute Hammer Dwarves, the main forces in this war of words have always been the Copperbeard Dwarves and the Black Iron Dwarves.
Queen Moira Sorisen, who was present on behalf of the Black Iron Dwarves, argued.
Pointing to the face of Muradin, the second uncle who represented the Copperbeard Clan, she denounced the Copperbeard Clan's decision to usurp the throne without permission for the deathbed decision of the King of the Mountain, Anweimar, and the exclusion of the Brutehammer and the Black Iron Clan, monopolizing the Ironforge Castle and the Kazmodan Kingdom, which were supposed to be ruled by the three clans.
One thing to say, in this matter, it is indeed Madolan Copperbeard who did not do enough.
Anyone can see that the heir of the King of the Mountain does not have the ambition and ability to inherit the kingdom of Kazmodan.
But you're so good at acting, even if it's just a puppet on it, it will look better, won't it?
The out-natured Madolan Copperbeard was not on the wrong side, and after winning the Battle of the Three Hammers, he was so satisfied that he immediately ousted the heir appointed by Mosdim Anwemar, the king of the mountains, and replaced him with his own grandeur.
At this point, Prince Copperbeard was officially crowned King Copperbeard, and it seemed that he rightfully inherited the throne of Kazmodan, but in fact, it also left a lot of hidden dangers.
Moira showed no mercy when facing her father's clan who raised her, and she asked the last descendant of Anweimar to accuse the Copperbeard Clan of usurpation on the spot, which made the self-proclaimed Muradin's face a little unbearable.
Seeing the change in the direction of the wind, Furstad Brute Hammer slowly stood up and took a stand, echoing the claims of the descendants of the King of the Mountains and the Black Iron Clan, believing that the Copperbeard Clan had indeed done something wrong in this matter.
Seeing that the second uncle Muradin, who had always been strong with the outside world, was speechless, Moira pursued on the spot, and loudly proposed to rebuild the Council of the Three Hammers, and the three clans re-honored the descendants of the King of the Mountains as kings.
Of course, everyone attending the meeting knew that the so-called veneration of the descendants of the King of the Mountains was just a cover.
The Anweimar clan has long been far away from the political center of the Kazmodan Kingdom, and has long been raised by the Copperbeard Clan, and they have no ability to rule the kingdom at all.
If the Three Hammers Council is rebuilt, it will still be the three major dwarven clans that will make the decision on national policy, but it will change from the previous decision of the Copperbeard Clan to the joint discussion and decision of the three clans.
Salian had taught Moira a lesson beforehand, using Quel'Salas as a stark negative example to explain to Moira in detail about the inefficiency of a pure parliamentary system.
Parliaments can exist, but they must not be allowed to have equal voting rights to determine the direction of the country, and they must have a dominant leader.
Just like the new parliamentary system of the Night Republic, what seems to be a parliament in which the members of the parliament discuss and decide on national policies is actually mainly decided by the speaker Malfurion, with other members of the parliament assisting the left.
Moira also knew in her heart that it was impossible to bring down the Copperbeard Clan, who had essentially ruled the Kazmodan Kingdom for more than 200 years, at once.
If she made this suggestion with an iron heart, I am afraid that in the end, the two clans will have to continue to fight and fall into a long tug-of-war, which is not in the interests of the Black Iron Clan.
As a result, when Moira proposed that the Copperbeard Clan be the leader of the Three Hammers Council, with the Brute Hammer Clan and the Black Iron Clan supporting the left, the originally dark-faced Muradin, could hardly hide his shock.
This is another use of the classic eclectic theory mentioned in the barrage.
"If you say it's too dark and you need to open a window, people won't allow it. But if you say you're going to tear down the roof, they'll be willing to open the windows. "—Lu Everything, I said it, Xun
Long before the three clans officially met, Magni and Muradin had guessed in advance that the Black Iron Clan must be trying to kick the Copperbeard Clan from the supreme throne of power in the Kazmodan Kingdom and replace them themselves.
However, Brian, who knew that his niece often played cards out of the ordinary way, disagreed, predicting that Moira might make a more surprising but acceptable request.
Muradin unconsciously recalled Brian's shyness when he said this, and involuntarily smiled bitterly in his heart: "Don't play cards according to common sense...... I was really told by that boy Brian. ’
Although Furstad, who attended the meeting in person, was also a little surprised that the Black Iron Clan's requirements were unexpectedly low, this situation was a win-win situation for the Brute Hammer Clan, which had a good relationship with the Copperbeard Clan.
With Furstad's strong approval, Muradin, who was undecided, asked for a temporary adjournment.
After long discussions with Magni and Brian, and lengthy bargaining with the Brute Hammer and Black Iron clans, he finally came to a compromise conclusion that would satisfy all three clans, and was only one last kick away.
The endless tug-of-war with the Black Iron Clan made the Copperbeard Clan physically and mentally exhausted, and Muradin, who gradually developed a war-weary mentality, did not want to continue to fight this dwarven civil war for a long time, and it was the dwarves themselves who were hurt by the fights.
It was at this time that the Kingdom of Lordaeron made it clear that it wanted to rebuild an alliance that had been divided for many years, and called on the countries of the Eastern Continent to actively participate in the upcoming invasion of the Burning Legion.
Taking this as an opportunity, the three dwarves decided to participate in this grand gathering attended by the heads of state with their own independent positions.
If the nations of humanity that are deeply divided with each other can put aside their disputes for the sake of a common foreign enemy, why can't the dwarves be able to do so?
At the same time, the dwarves of the three dwarves who had reached a consensus hoped that the eastern kingdom would re-form a cohesive large international organization.
After all, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
After the dwarves and gnomes of the three tribes expressed their positions one after another, the Sun King of Quel'Thalas, who was also of the same race, Kael'thas Sunstrider, also chimed in, followed by Kul Tiras and Dalaran, who had always had a good relationship with Quel'Thalas.
Stormgard, who had recently benefited from mutual trade, had finally taken the first steps on the road to revival, and the Regency did not want to break off trade with Lordaeron again because of this.
After some consideration, the Speaker, who was present on behalf of the Regency Council, voted in favor.
After King Atlake's Atherton agreed, the final blow was handed to Gilne's old diehard, Gene Greymane.
From Jean's father's generation, the Greymans have been isolationist.
To this end, Jean spent a lot of money on the construction of the Greymane Wall after falling out with Lordaeron, completely separating the Silverpine Forest from the core territory of Gilneys.
In the original history, it was because of this majestic border gate that Gilneth was able to survive the natural disasters and turmoil that spread across the continent.
But at what cost?
The never-ending civil strife, and the werewolf scourge that followed.
The territory of the Kingdom of Gilneth is not just a small core centered on the royal city, the Silver Pine Forest is also their inherent territory.
For example, the Croré family, who are famous in Gilneis, have their territory in the Silver Pine Forest.
King Jean's move amounted to the direct abolition of the territories of these nobles, and the destruction of the foundations they had worked so hard to operate for many years.
In Azeroth, where the feudal aristocracy was still in place, it was not surprising that this practice did not cause civil strife.
When the Werewolf Rebellion in the original history occurred, due to the extreme isolation from the outside world, the anxious Gilneth couldn't find someone to ask for help.
Jean could only watch his country be turned upside down by werewolves, and the banshee king who followed him to break through the defenses, and even Liam, Jean's proudest prince, died heroically to protect him.
After losing almost everything, Jean and the remnants of Gilneth were luckily rescued by the Night Elves who happened to arrive in search of the Luna Scythe, and began a multi-year journey into exile.
Let's go back to the canonical history of this timeline.
Since the completion of the construction of the Wall of Greymane, Jean has been annoyed by the rebellions of the nobles of the Silverpine Forest, led by Crowley.
Prince Liam has also repeatedly persuaded him to abandon his long-term isolationism and re-embrace this changing world.
I don't know if Jean figured it out on his own, or if Prince Liam's tireless efforts paid off.
Under the anxious waiting of the other kingdoms, King Jean finally did not oppose against the tide, and sighed and voted in favor.
At this point, the major kingdoms of the Eastern Continent unanimously passed the resolution on the re-establishment of the alliance, and the kingdom of Lordaeron, as the host, naturally continued to serve as the host of the alliance, which was announced by the emotional Queen Caria......
After nearly 10 years, the international cooperation organization "Alliance" was officially rebuilt in the royal city of Lordaeron, the former Union Chamber.
