Chapter 1163: The Change of Times That Quietly Begins
The Coalition Celebration at the Royal City of Lordaeron will last for a whole week, and the number of visitors from all countries of the Alliance will be overwhelming, which will greatly boost Lordaeron's tourism tax revenue and contribute to Lordaeron's post-war reconstruction.
Salian had expected King Jean of Gilnes to be unhappy with this, and with his temper, he would curse and gossip such as "it is better to move the host venue to Kyrgyzstan".
However, unexpectedly, King Jean, who came to the meeting in person, did not make any inappropriate remarks, and behaved very calmly throughout the whole process.
"I guess I'm planning to retire officially."
At the main venue of the celebration banquet, when Sarren and Kael'thas were talking about this, the Sun King took a leisurely sip of red wine and said, "During your absence, King Jean handed over most of the political and military affairs of the country to Prince Liam. ”
"The king of the alliance of the same era as Jean is only a half-retired and still dedicated to raising the crown prince, and the lifespan of humans is not as long as that of the High Elves, and it is time to think about the next generation of heirs to the throne."
Kael'tham's analysis amused Sarean, but from his point of view, it was only natural that he would come to such a conclusion.
According to the barrage, the old wolf king Jean Greymane was still active on the front line decades later, and even survived Varian Ureon, who was a generation younger than him.
Sarian and Barrage also analyzed and discussed this, and initially speculated that it should be due to the power of the werewolf to extend his natural lifespan.
At this point in the current timeline, Sarean is unsure if Gilneth will encounter the Werewolf Rebellion, after all, many things are very different from the original history known by the barrage.
As Kael'thas said, after this minor illness, Daileen Proudmoore, who has always been in good health, has to admit that she is getting old.
Dalin's eldest son, Drake, was tragically killed in the Second Orc War, and his eldest daughter Gianna had no intention of inheriting the throne of Kurtilas, so he could only pin his hopes on his youngest son, Tandray.
In all fairness, although Dai Lin is in his 50s, his body is still very healthy.
If he continues to sit on the throne of Kurtilas, it is conservatively estimated that he will be able to fight for at least another 10 years.
However, seeing that the younger generation such as Galia, Varian, Ronin, Atherton, and Danas gradually took over the mainstream, Dai Lin, who felt that her mentality was getting older, was interested in retiring and handing over the future of Kurtilas to Tandre, who could better understand the thoughts of the younger generation.
Excluding people like Quel'Salas and Kazmodan and Nomorigan, Danas, who is in his early 30s, is already the oldest of the younger kings of the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind, and there will be a generation gap between him and Dareen and Jean, who are in their 50s.
As Prince Liam gradually took over the military and political power of Gilnehs, Jean, who had laid down the burden of power, became more Buddhist than before, and the grumpy Jean in other people's perception seemed to be completely two people.
"If nothing else, Liam will officially inherit the throne in 3 years at the latest, and Tanderley's side should be about the same."
Sallian nodded: "Indeed, in the battle of Kalimdor this time, those old subordinates of Dai Lin in the fleet assisted the left from the side, and Tandere performed remarkably. ”
Kurtilas was not directly involved in the final Battle of Mount Hyjal, and their fleet dutifully patrolled the eastern shore of Kalimdor, bombarding the small demonic forces along the coast with naval artillery to ensure that the coalition forces were not left behind.
At the same time, a large number of new artillery pieces supplied by Kurtilas also played an important role in the decisive battle on Mount Hyjal.
Overall, Tanderley, who was the first commander of the fleet, did well, and the proud smile that Dai Lin had always put on his face could tell how satisfied he was with his youngest son's operation.
Gianna was also by her father's and younger brother's side at this time, praising Tandere, who was still a little unaccustomed to such a large social occasion.
Don't look at Tanderley's shy behavior at the banquet, Salian has seen his passionate attitude when commanding naval battles, and he does have a bit of Dai Lin's demeanor, and the real future is promising.
Unconsciously, fewer and fewer kings had personally participated in the founding of the First Alliance, and Sarjan truly realized the huge difference between the long-lived and short-born species.
"Don't think about it so much."
Noticing the emotional expression on Sarren's face, Kael'thas smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have a long future ahead of you, and you'll see the day when my grandchildren and great-grandchildren succeed to the throne."
"According to you, the next few years will be a rare time of peace in Azeroth, so take this opportunity to adapt to the life of the immortals as soon as possible."
"Human beings only have a short lifespan of 100 years, so they will live as good as possible in a limited amount of time."
"But we are different, if you have been tensing yourself so tight, when you have nothing to do in the future, you will sigh the boredom of life, it is better to learn to enjoy life as soon as possible."
"Do you enjoy life......
Salian sighed softly, "I'll try my best." ”
If Sarren can really be idle, it means that there has not been anything big enough to alarm him in Azeroth recently, and he has truly entered a period of peace and stability.
……
The kings did not participate in the week-long celebrations in full, and after the feast, they returned home to deal with the aftermath of the war.
Early the next morning after the banquet, Galia strongly suppressed the advice of the ministers who advocated continuing the attack on Stratholme, and decided to withdraw the troops and let the soldiers who had been on the front line for a long time withdraw to the rear in shifts to rest.
With the orderly withdrawal of Lordaeron's army from the front line, all fighting in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom has officially come to an end.
In the Valley of Thorns in the south of the continent, the Dark Spear Trolls broke through the defense line of the Gulabash clan after a wave of attacks, and broke through the jungle troll capital Zurgrab in one fell swoop, ending the madness of the Gulabash clan led by the sorcerer Jindu.
Under the rebellion of the Bloodtop and the Crackling Skull Clan, Haka, who had not yet fully descended, was re-stuffed back into the subplane where many Loa joined forces to seal it, and the leader of the Gulabash Clan, the Blood Lord Mandokir, was reluctantly surrendered after being defeated head-on by Senkin.
It's a pity that due to the lack of troops caused by the division of troops, Senjin was unable to catch the sorcerer Jindo, who escaped early.
The long-lasting civil war of jungle trolls in the Valley of Thorns has officially come to an end, but it has also left an uneasy hidden danger because of Jindu's escape.
The Darkspear Clan replaced the weakened Gulabash Clan as the new suzerainty clan of the Jungle Trolls, still with their capital in Zur Grab.
As the son of Senkin, Woking's status is naturally rising.
Once Woking and Senkin have taken care of the aftermath of the Echo Islands and the Valley of Thorns, respectively, Salian will ask Kurtilas to cooperate with Woking in a bitter ploy to stop his ship on the shore of Zandalar Island.
After returning to Silvermoon City with Kael'thas and Sarrenn is not able to take a vacation, the Sun King will reward the High Elves who participated in the Kalimdor Expedition.
The Burning Legion is one of Azeroth's greatest enemies, and as a descendant of the High Elves who fought in the War of the Ancients, Quel'Salas values his role in slaying Akmund the Polluter.
High-ranking officers who participated in the Battle of Mount Hygar, including Sylvanas, Lotherma, Aurelia, Haduron, and Liadrin, were all rewarded handsomely by the Cabinet and the Sun King.
In addition, Winlessa, who participated in the battle to decapitate the Lich King in Northrend, has not been forgotten either.
The first is Sylvanas, who, as the heir to the head of the Windranger family, will sooner or later inherit the Dukedom title on Lyresa.
As the commander of the Ranger Force, it is difficult for her to continue to be promoted in her official position under the premise that Sylvanas herself clearly does not want to enter the central government so early.
After some trade-offs, Kael'thas bestowed Sylvanas with the Celestial Wrath, the artifact longbow that was stored in the royal treasury, and increased the fief size of the Windranger family.
Aurelia voluntarily renounced her family succession many years ago, and she was awarded the title of viscount by the Sun King for her outstanding performance in the Battle of the Seamounts, and Winlesa was made a baron.
However, due to the balance of power and the annexation of land, both Aurelia and Winresa have no titles, no fiefs.
Officers such as Liadrin, Haduron, and Lotherma were also rewarded according to their wishes, some choosing knighthoods, others weapons and armor, or promotions.
At the suggestion of the Sarjan, the officers and men of the major legions were awarded different ranks of military merit medals according to their performance on the battlefield.
After the award of rewards to officers and enlisted men, it is the real highlight.
In the square in front of the Court of the Sunstriders, Kael'thas announced in an impassioned tone the reward for Duke Sarjan Deepshadow.
"As the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, Duke Deep Shadow developed and participated in the entire plan to ambush the polluter Akmund, and made an unparalleled contribution to thwarting the invasion of the Burning Legion!"
"Here! In the name of the Sun King of Quel'Salas, I have promoted Saray Shadow to the rank of Grand Duke of the Kingdom! Hereditary replacement! ”
"Sons of Quel'Thalas! Cheers to the first Grand Duke born after the Founding War! ”
Kael'thas shouted in a fanning tone, "Whatever your origins, Quel'Salas will not treat anyone who has served the kingdom badly!" ”
"I hope! In the future, there will be more people like the Grand Duke of Deep Shadow who will be crowned with wives and shadows for their merits! The future of Quel'Salas is up to you! ”
Seeing that the emotions of the scene had been fully mobilized, Kael'thas raised his right hand and took the lead and shouted, "Glory to Queldore!" ”
"Glory to Queldore!
”
