Chapter 385 One Condition Must Be Attached
Doesn't Alleria love Quel'Thalas?
wrong! She loves her country more than any elf. As the saying goes, the depth of love is the depth of hatred.
When Duke notified her for the first time, she was much ahead of schedule, and rushed back to warn when the tribe was far away in the Hinterlands.
She was ignored!
He was also given the high hat of a Howling Parliament.
The second time she broke into the Silvermoon Council when the rune stone circle was broken. It seemed that some progress had been made, but she immediately discovered that the Sun King and the Council were still arguing for power and profit when the enemy was at hand!
A group of high-level officials who have never been willing to understand the enemy pulled out a small army with mixed trump cards and miscellaneous cards, and they actually wanted to defeat the 100,000 tribes elite army that had been prepared for a long time?
Unsurprisingly, Prince Kael'thas's first expedition has had the most dire consequences.
Then the parliament faction tried to stand out, and aimed to overwhelm the royal party. They also didn't want to know their enemies, so they went to deliver food to Orgrim and Zujin.
The 25,000 royalist army was defeated, and less than 5,000 came back.
The 40,000 parliament's "elite" troops were all wiped out, and less than 400 returned.
Including the garrison team lost on the frontier, in just one week, more than 70,000 high elves soldiers died in battle. If you add the loss of civilians who were too late to retreat, that's 150,000 people.
High elves are inferior to humans in population. The opposite of a long lifespan is a low fertility rate, and high elves generally don't like to raise offspring prematurely. Millennials are nothing new at all.
This makes the total population of high elves never exceed one million.
How much capital can the high elves spend?
Alleria cried bitterly, begged, felt sad, and despaired. Even though Duke has repeatedly vaccinated her, telling her that the senior management of Silvermoon City is just such a group of bastards who hold each other back for power regardless of people's life or death. Before experiencing all of this, Alleria always had a glimmer of longing and hope for the Sun King and the council.
Until this moment, the cruel reality told her that there is no end to death.
Until countless wooden stakes were erected in the open space outside Silvermoon City, and a dead elf was stuck on each wooden stake.
Until every 15 minutes outside the city, a group of elves were beheaded and killed one by one by the cruel troll amidst the sound of wailing and despair.
Alleria finally gave up on the Sunstrider royal family and the Silvermoon Council!
Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, this group of guys, like rats eager to escape from a sunken ship, remembered Duke's army. The elite army that had been waiting on the border from the very beginning and was strictly prohibited from entering. The reinforcements that Alleria had long ago desperately brought in at all costs.
Alleria's indifferent answer gave the congressmen an ice bucket challenge.
Having played political games for thousands of years, these congressmen have already had a way to deal with almost any situation.
Agreeing does not mean fully agreeing.
It was rejected because the price tag was too low.
Resolutely refused because the price tag was ridiculously low.
This kind of utter disregard is the last thing these congressmen, who have spent their lives in the political game, fear most. The other party refuses to have all communication with you, which in itself means that there is no need to talk about it.
It wasn't until this time that the congressmen remembered that Duke had always sent a liaison officer in Silvermoon City.
They quickly and temporarily gave up on the tough-as-nails Alleria, and instead focused on the diplomat who was also too young.
Ilucia Barov, the eldest daughter of the Alterac aristocrat Duke Barov's family, a student of the alliance's vice-commander Gambler Marcus?
This qualification will not be ignored in the case of any king of the human kingdom. That is to say, the elves with upturned nostrils dared to hang people in the state guesthouse as offerings, and ignored them for a full 10 days.
The only problem is that this Miss Barov has the same astonishing age as her master, she is only 16 years old this year.
16 years old may be an age that is easy to induce, but 16 years old can also be a time bomb, because youth represents impulsiveness.
Lengtouqing, who holds a big killer, is an opponent that makes every politician's scalp tingle just thinking about it. Because all the prejudgments and adult rules of their thinking patterns may not necessarily apply to this kind of person.
They worry too much.
Ilucia, who was left hanging for ten days, didn't feel any excitement, anger or joy, because Duke had told her how she might be treated. In fact, Duke doesn't want a young lady like Ilucia to suffer in the military camp with her. Even though mages always get the best treatment, no matter how comfortable they are, they can't compare to Dalaran or her home Keldar. Long.
Ilucia had an audience with the king, and she was very well dressed, with black and flowing hair, a proper forehead ornament and necklace, a set of generous and decent aqua-blue mage robes, and a quiet ladylike temperament... This makes even the right The high elves, who are extremely picky about their dress and appearance, can't even pick a single word about Ilucia.
"Ilucia Barov, a disciple of the Grand Duke Marcus of the Stormwind Kingdom, has met the Sun King and the members of the Silver Moon Council." Almost formulaic greeting without any information revealed.
The Sun King nodded: "The Silver Moon Council wants to find you." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and remained motionless as if under a petrification spell.
Councilor Mollens, who is now the acting speaker, the high-ranking Mage Huiyue bravely stepped forward and said to Ilucia: "To be honest, Quel'Thalas has encountered a little difficulty now. The Silvermoon Council I would like to express my gratitude to Duke Marcus for his initiative to come to help. Now I want to discuss whether the Alliance of Lordaeron is willing to start negotiations on the addition of new members."
Ilucia's first sentence choked Speaker Morans to death: "I can only represent the opinions of Grand Duke Marcus himself, not the Alliance of Lordaeron. If there is something to do with the Alliance, I suggest that the Speaker Look for His Excellency Lothar, the commander-in-chief of the alliance, or His Majesty Menethil, the most influential king in the alliance."
This is obviously making things difficult.
Who doesn't know that Lothar and King Menethil are fighting nervously in Silverpine Forest. They didn't even have time to think about themselves. Who would be so far away from Quel'Thalas who gave the Alliance enough face?
The only thing that can be counted on is Duke, the deputy commander of the alliance, and his troops.
A member of the House of Representatives vomited blood after being beaten by Ilucia's Tai Chi, Morrows had to ask: "What if the Silvermoon Council wants to have a formal face-to-face meeting with His Majesty Marcus?"
"Yes. But as the price for my teacher who treats me coldly, there must be a condition attached."
During the first three days of National Day, the update time will be very erratic...
