Chapter 1087: Sarjan: Win-win, that is, I win twice
The Scourge Legion is actually not a small harm, once they are allowed to roll the snowball up, the massive army of undead will also pose a big threat to Azeroth.
However, compared to Acmund, who was about to descend on Azeroth in his form, this "minor problem" was insignificant.
Unlike the historic Kalimdor, most of the races in the Eastern Kingdoms, with the exception of the High Elves who crossed east from Kalimdor and the trolls who are returning more and more, have only about 3,000 years of civilization history.
If Malfurion had also been at this meeting, he would have tried to call on the demigods of the wilderness to fight the powerful polluters without a prior plan made by Sarren.
Akmund is not something that mortals can defeat at all, and even among the many demigods, the Polluter is the best of the best.
The learned mage Dalaran was only aware of the existence of the demigods of the wilderness, and had nothing to do with these transcendent creatures.
In the face of Akmund's imminent huge pressure, Ronin didn't know how to deal with it, and subconsciously looked at Kael'thas, the sun king who was the first to propose this earth-shattering crisis.
"Your Majesty the Sun King, I wonder if the Duke of Deep Shadow already knows about this matter?"
The meaning of Ronin's words was obvious, he wanted to ask if Sarren had any plans to deal with Akmund.
It has been a short time since Kael'thas ascended the throne as king, and he has accumulated a lot of experience in his daily political affairs and repeated tugging with Darkan and other cabinet officials, and he understands the true meaning of Ronin's words at once.
"As Speaker Ronin knows."
Kael'tham's expression was still serious: "Sarren had just returned from Karazan and Dalaran, and before his ass was hot, he heard the news of the theft of water from the sunwell and the imminent arrival of polluters. β
"Through the connections of his mother, Yinas, Sarjan has been in contact with the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep first, and the guardian dragons, led by Alekstasa, are urgently discussing the dispatch of troops."
Kael'thas's words reassured Ronin, who knew the horrors of polluters, but Ronin, who had not lost his composure, could see that Kael'thas had not finished his words.
Sure enough, the turning point came immediately.
"But ......," Kael'thas said with a wry smile, "dragons are transcendent beings with infinite lifespans, IMHO, they ...... In Sarean's words, most have severe procrastination. β
"Even if the dragons are willing to provide full support in this battle against the main army of the Burning Legion, Yuanshui will not be able to save the near fire."
"We must first find a way to survive this most dangerous period until the guardian dragons lead the dragon army to reinforcements."
Due to her daughter Gianna, Dai Lin has been close to Quel'Thalas and Dalaran over the years, and Kurtilas has the most in-depth intelligence research on the Burning Legion of any of the nations present.
As the old saying goes, ignorance is bliss.
The more you know, the more worries and fears you have.
Compared to the other kings of the alliance members who were still somewhat ignorant, Dai Lin, who knew the strength of the polluter, felt more pressure in his heart than them.
"Sun King, Speaker Ronin, are you sure that you can use the Alliance's existing forces to block Akmund's attack?"
Kael'thas and Ronin glanced at each other, both of them showing bitter expressions at the same time.
Kael'thas: "If Akmund himself doesn't make a move, we should have some certainty. β
Luo Ning also added with a wry smile: "Once the polluter himself is gone...... No matter how much we struggle, I am afraid that nothing will change the outcome. β
"Humph!"
Jean Greymane snorted in displeasure, "After all, this polluter was created because Quel'Salas lost the water from the sunwell, and Quel'Thalas should bear the main responsibility." β
Jialia frowned slightly and stopped Jean's words: "Now is not the time to hold accountable, if the Sun King and Speaker Ronin's descriptions are true, once the response is not effective, the entire Eastern Kingdom will ...... All of Azeroth will be destroyed at the hands of the Polluter. β
"It is imperative that we come up with a proper response strategy, preferably as best we can to hold off the main army of demons without Akmund himself intervening, and wait for reinforcements from the dragons to arrive."
"...... on this point"
Kael'thas didn't care about Jean's attack, after all, it was a development that Quel'Salas had guessed beforehand.
Kael'thas turned his words around, giving the king present a new hope.
"As far as I know, Akmund was a greedy man with an insatiable thirst for power, and as early as 10,000 years ago, he coveted the Well of Eternity, a powerful source of energy."
"If the sunwell is used as a bait to set up an ambush, it should theoretically lead him to the island of Queldanus, but unfortunately, ......"
Kael'thas spread his hands helplessly: "Even so, when Akmund absorbed the energy of the sunwell and his defense was relatively weak, we didn't take the opportunity to defeat his killer weapon. β
Ronin frowned and rejected Quel'Thalas's proposal of self-sacrifice: "No, if you don't have the certainty of inflicting a one-hit kill on Akmund, absorbing the power of the sunwell will further enhance his strength." β
Kael'thas took the opportunity to propose a long-prepared alternative: "So...... We're going to have to get the water to the west. β
Galia, who had been taught in the history and geography of Sarjan, had a moving expression: "Sun King, what do you mean...... Use the World Tree Nodashir to lure Akmund to Kalimdor and let the deep-rooted Night Elves join the team that ambushes him? β
Kael'thas nodded solemnly, "The Night Elves participated in the Battle of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, and the war heroes of that time, Malfurion Fury, Tyrande Whisper, and Garrod Shadowsong, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, are still alive today. β
"The sacred mountain of Hyjal, where Nodashir is located, has always been home to the demigods of the wilderness."
"If Akmund is lured by the World Tree to cross the sea and attack Mount Hyjal, not only the dragons, but also the living demigods of the wilderness will inevitably rise up to defend their homeland."
"Then do it!"
Kudran Brutehammer, a member of the Brute Hammer who attended on behalf of the Council of the Three Hammers, did not hesitate to clapp, saying, "With this great crisis that threatens the survival of all of Azeroth, the Night Elves cannot hide on the other side of the sea! β
Darkiron Councilor Dagran Thorrison also coldly agreed: "Since they participated in the Battle of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, it means that they have sufficient experience in dealing with the Burning Legion, and are better suited to face the threat of Akmund than us. β
One thing to say, this is somewhat shameless.
However, as the saying goes, friends of the dead do not die of the poor, and the kings of all the countries present without exception agreed with Dagrande's suggestion that he was somewhat immoral.
No one wants to put the battlefield on their doorstep, after all, they still need to spend time and resources to repair the damaged land after the war.
If you don't get one right, the whole country will be wiped out by polluters on a whim.
This is no joke, the original historical Dalaran was easily destroyed like a toy by the polluters, and it took years of reconstruction to gradually recover.
When the sky falls, there should be a tall person who should be on top of it first, this is the truest thoughts of the kings present at this moment.
'Heh~' Seeing that the direction of the meeting was developing very accurately in the direction predicted by Sarjan, Kael'thas complained with a smile in his heart: "Is this what Sarian said about the evil of human nature?" It's brutal, but it's also true. β
At this point, the outline of the plan for the diversion of the water to the west was preliminarily drawn up.
Next, the talented people of various countries will work together to further refine this plan based on the information provided by the Burning Legion selflessly provided by Quel'Salas, and be sure to direct Akmund's attention to the continent of Kalimdor on the other side of the sea.
Since Kael'thas consciously proposed to sacrifice the Sunwell from the beginning, the kings, including Jean, have significantly softened their views on Quel'Thalas.
Even if Ronin does not stand up for the veto, given the distance between Sunwell and Nordasil from their own countries, the kings will almost certainly choose to sacrifice Nordasil after Kael'thas proposes a more suitable alternative.
After all, this is Kang Others' feelings.
For a period of time after that, the countries of the alliance will keep in close contact, first look at the reaction of Akmund after his arrival, and then come up with corresponding response strategies according to the emergency preparedness prepared in advance.
β¦β¦
Sarena did not personally participate in the alliance summit in Lordaeron, but the process of the meeting developed almost exactly as he had predicted.
Kael'thas did not return to his home country immediately after leaving the royal city of Lordaeron, but took the time to visit Barov Castle first, and met with Saljan for a short time.
Seeing off the hurried Sun Queen, Sarjan, who hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, was still staring intently at the Legion portal that Kel'thugad had built in East Wild.
"I'm sorry for you guys...... though."
Salaan took a deep breath and whispered with a determined expression, "In order to get the polluters out of the game once and for all, and to let the night elves, who have been high for tens of thousands of years, claim to be above the mortals, return to the ground." β
"This is a win-win situation, don't blame me for pulling you into the water."
[GodTM wins, Quel'Salas wins twice, right?] γ
[Xiao Sa's shameless speech is quite an old man's style, and I hope to continue to carry it forward. γ
γGrass! What about the face? γ
Ignoring the agitation of the barrage, Saljan suppressed the many emotions churning in his heart and turned to Stella Gossa, who had arrived with Kael'thas not long ago.
"Stella, how's Gianna doing? Will it be possible to break through before the climax of this big war? β
Stella Gossa shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure, we've done everything we can, and the next thing can only depend on her own efforts." β
Salian nodded wordlessly, and once again shifted his gaze to Uther's long-standing Darsun Farm defense.
"Once Akmund arrives, in order to show his unrivaled strength and destroy our psychological defenses, he should first find an opportunity to dismount."
"Darsun Line...... No, I'm afraid Andohar won't be able to save it. β
