Chapter 1849: Unruly Thorns
One thing to say, it is not easy for such a large group of people with the most noble status in their respective countries to sit together honestly and discuss rationally.
Even with Salian as the moderator, the discussion, which was friendly at first, gradually changed its taste, and the smell of gunpowder became heavier and heavier.
There were already many contradictions between the countries represented by the leaders present, such as Zandalar and Kurtilas.
Zandalara, also an island nation, fought a fierce battle with the sea kingdom of Kurtilas, which ended with the destruction of Zandalara's golden fleet.
Since then, Zandalar has been suppressed by Kurtiras and unable to sail around the archipelago, so he can only rely on the help of the shark Loagroll to smuggle out of the country and continue to wreak havoc around the world.
It was only in recent years that the political landscape within Zandalar had changed dramatically, and Kultiras had taken the initiative to loosen its grip on the Zandalar Islands at the behest of Sarean.
It happened that the domestic political situation of Kurtilas also fluctuated slightly due to the change of throne, and the golden fleet of Sun Tzu for several years seized the opportunity to recover.
Today's king of Kurtilas is Tandrey Prodmore, the youngest sister-in-law of Daline and Catherine, and many people in Kul Tiras, from nobles to commoners, did not expect that the last person to take over the throne would be this "hairy boy" who has been determined to become the admiral of the kingdom's fleet since he was a child.
Not to mention that others didn't expect it, Tandre himself was very surprised by this.
As the youngest child in the family, Thandley is also blessed with two siblings, the eldest brother Derek, who has been recognized as the perfect prince by Kul Tiras since he was a child, and Gianna, the elder sister Gianna, who showed great arcane talent at an early age and was sent by her father to Quel'Thalas for further study.
As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
Prince Derek, who was in the prime of life, was tragically killed in the Second Orc War, and it stands to reason that the throne should fall to Gianna, the second in line of succession.
However, Gianna, who was bent on seeking the truth, had no interest in becoming king, and told her parents early that she would retire from the succession.
So, of course, the throne of Kurtiras fell to the youngest Tandre.
Interestingly, Tandre, who grew up on the ship with Dai Lin, has a typical military temper, and he actually has no intention of competing with Gianna for the throne, who knows that in the end, it will be a pie from the sky, smashing Tandre, who has become the captain of the Kurtiras Navy at the time, into a daze.
As far as Sarean knew, the boy Tanderre, dissatisfied with Gianna's abandonment of his responsibilities, had sneaked away from his father and mother to Dalaran in an attempt to persuade his sister to change her mind.
But what about the result...... It can only be said that the sister's suppression of the younger brother's blood is innate, and poor Tandre finally returned to Kurtilas with a blue nose and a swollen face, and the result of persuasion speaks for itself.
Even though Dai Lin has been taking Tandere with him in recent years, which has calmed his original impatient military temper a lot, but as the so-called nature of the country is easy to change, many times Tandere can still talk but not brain, and he drives his behavior with enthusiasm.
Just like now.
Although Tandre's temper is relatively impatient, his importance to his family is indisputable, whether it is for his parents or his sister.
In Tanderley's opinion, even if the wedding was not officially held due to dragon customs, Sarjan was indeed his brother-in-law.
Seeing that the new god king Tarangi of Zandala, who has a more serious personality, repeatedly asked about the details of the plan, Tandere subconsciously thought that this guy was deliberately making things difficult for his brother-in-law, and his violent temper exploded on the spot.
"Smack!"
Without waiting for Tarangi's 100,000 to get another patient answer from Sarjan, Tandere, who was already very dissatisfied with Zandalara, suddenly took the case...... After all, the two countries have had large-scale bloody conflicts before, and it is normal for them to dislike each other.
"Blue-faced fanged monster! You're enough! Where are so many questions! ”
Tandere slapped his chest with a sworn swear and said: "In this large-scale plan, Salian is the real leader, we are just soldiers who follow orders, where are the soldiers chasing the commander to get to the bottom of the matter?" ”
"And, even if Sarren explained it to you one by one, are you sure you can understand it all if you don't have enough knowledge?"
"Huh?"
The same young Tarangi was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when she saw that it was Zandalara's long-time enemy Kurtilas who stood up and forced her to talk, she turned back on the spot.
"What do I have to do with you, little kid king? What kind of hair did you jump out of and frieze? ”
"You're looking for a fight!"
"Come on! Who's afraid of whom! ”
The childish quarrel between the two like a child against a cow made Sarren's eyes almost roll to the sky.
And that's not all, taking the opportunity of Tandre's questioning of Tarangi, King Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom stood up not to be outdone, pointing the finger at a certain orc who had been staring at this side with provocative eyes on the opposite side.
"The brown-skinned orcs over there! What are you staring at me all the time? Want to fight? ”
"Huh?"
The brown-skinned orcs in Varian's mouth are none other than Garrosh Hellroar, one of the leading figures of the Young Zhuang Orcs, who was brought over by Gouyle and Grom to gain knowledge.
Varian didn't wronged him, Garrosh did stare at the other side with mockery on his face from the beginning of the meeting, but he didn't specifically target Varian, but he despised all Alliance kings equally.
In this timeline, due to the early submission of Onexia by Sarren's dragon training staff, Varian has not suffered a soul split, and naturally has not fought in the gladiatorial arena.
That doesn't mean Varian's temper is any better, though.
Varian had witnessed his father, Ryan, be killed at close range by orc assassins, and it was Garona, a half-orc who had been trusted by Ryan at the time.
Although Varian learned the truth about Garona's betrayal from Salian many years later, the scene at that time still left a huge psychological shadow on the young Varian.
As a result, his hatred for orcs is no less than that of Dai Lin, who lost his son in middle age, and they are two of the most hostile tribal kings among the members of the Alliance.
After Dai Lin voluntarily abdicated, although the newly appointed Tanderley also had no good feelings for the orcs who killed his own brother, under the guidance of Sarian and Gianna for a long time, he still knew that he was concerned about the overall situation and did not plan to follow Varian to act as an alliance hawk.
A slap doesn't make a sound, and if the tribe has been honest and can't find an excuse to attack, Varian won't be fine.
However...... There is also no shortage of hawks on the tribal side who want to be more hawkish on the outside world, and they have long been unhappy with the overly tepid foreign policy of the Gouil.
Garrosh Hellroar, who advocates the use of strength to solve all problems, is the most typical representative of this group of young hardliners, and it is only natural that he and Varian, who already harbor hatred for orcs, quarrel.
Fortunately, at this time, there is still someone who can persuade Garrosh not to let him go to a dead end.
"Tell me to be quiet! Did Lao Tzu let you speak? ”
Before Garrosh could take the opportunity to get up and invite him to fight, Grom, who had already had to be completely white, smashed his fist on the back of his stupid son's head with an angry fist.
"It's so majestic, Young Master Hellroar."
The real eldest sister of the Maghan Four, Agna, also spoke in a strange way: "Do you want to ruin the reputation of the entire tribe by yourself? Don't sit down yet! (End of chapter)
