Chapter 839 38. Pandaria. Empire. Federation

"hum"

The surface of the portal shone with a blue halo, swaying like the lightest water waves. Jaina, wearing the robes of the archmage, walked through the portal tiredly and came to the continent of Pandaria, the capital of pandaren civilization, and the most important place in pandaren society. The bustling area, Jade Forest.

This temporary teleportation hall is located in an abandoned manor. On that square, more than a dozen large teleportation gates are lined up there, which can lead to almost any place in the world.

The fog barrier off the coast of Pandaria has completely dissipated 3 days ago. The sea route to this continent from the outside world has been unblocked, and space teleportation can also be used normally. However, with the Empire’s Armada and the Federation’s Black Ark fleet After the news of the heavy loss spread in the South China Sea, almost everyone well-informed knew that there were some dark and strange things hidden in the Pandaria continent.

Of course, for the greedy pirates and merchants, such a small amount of pretentious things is not enough to stop them from chasing wealth, but the problem is that in the past few days, more than one merchant ship has personally witnessed the sea from the deep sea. The terrifying fleet floating down the sea... that is the most frightening legend in the entire endless sea.

The Dead Sea Fleet of the Dark Blade Legion!

That is the fleet commanded by the "Sea Demon King" Dai Lin. Horror legends about it have spread to every corner of the world in recent years, and the appearance of the Dead Sea Fleet seems to represent a frightening future. That is, the Dark Blade Legion, which has been active in the Northrend continent in recent years, seems to have set its sights on this new continent that has just appeared in the world.

This is news that makes all pirates feel timid, but it is news that makes all businessmen cheer.

Everyone knows that as long as you do things in a safe manner and don't want to make some dangerous big news, then the Dark Blade Legion will not make things difficult for ordinary businessmen, and whenever the Dead Sea Fleet appears in the sea area, the local pirate forces will be entrenched Cruel to heinous means to clean up.

Now, they have finally come to the South China Sea, this damn, the golden waters that have been chaotic for hundreds of years, probably will also become orderly because of it?

"Where is my worry-free brother?"

The queen of Lordaeron and the archmage of New Dalaran looked at the guide beside her. That was an ambassador who was stationed in Pandaria a few days ago and was the spokesperson of the Kingdom of Lordaeron on this continent. Facing the queen's question, the ambassador swallowed with some difficulty, and said softly:

"I met His Excellency Prince Tanred the day before yesterday. The pandaren here did not mistreat him and his soldiers, but...but just yesterday, they were escorted out of the Jade Forest by the Shado-Pan monks. It is said that they were sent to a place called Beaulieu's Back, where they had to serve up to 3 months of hard labor."

"Bold!"

Hearing that the younger brother she cared about was actually sent to be a coolie, a flash of anger flashed across the beautiful face of Archmage Jaina. The staff in her hand touched the ground, and then she faced the trembling ambassador in front of her face like frost. explain:

"Take me to the chief of the pandaren here! They have no right to humiliate a prince of Kul Tiras like this!"

And almost at the moment Jaina's voice fell, in the square not far from them, another voice that suppressed anger sounded almost at the same time:

"What? Valentine was sent to hard labor? Who gave those unbridled pandaren the power? That's an official official of the Federation! They don't have the power to do that!"

This roar attracted the attention of many people, including Queen Jaina. The archmage turned his head and saw an old acquaintance. Queen Jaina, who was protected by the guards, had strange eyes and a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, the old gentleman took the initiative to step forward. He waved his hand to let the federal government protection personnel around him not to worry, and then offered his hand to Jaina:

"Little Gianna, haven't we seen each other in years?"

"Marshal Maxwell...oh, no, I should call you Mr. Senator now, indeed, we haven't seen each other since the founding ceremony of the Arathor Empire, and that was almost seven years ago thing."

Jaina gracefully held the hand of the old man who was wearing a black dress, holding a cane, and possessed a calm and majestic temperament. She blinked like a little girl, and said to the old man:

"This time, are you going to visit Pandaria on behalf of the Federation? Let me guess, it's also for the fleet?"

When the former Field Marshal of the Storm Kingdom, the old comrade of Marshal Reginald Windsor, Councilor Maxwell heard this, a wave flashed in his calm eyes, and he said softly:

"It's a shame, little Gianna, it shouldn't have happened...seriously, you should discipline that troublesome little brother in your family, I hear, all this Is it all because Tenred ignored the situation and forcibly forced the federal fleet to retreat, and he also brazenly announced that the Pandaria sea area is the sea area of ​​​​the empire? It's really strange, I don't know, when did you insert the empire's fleet on the continent of Pandaria? Flags? Young people, always open your mouth when it comes to these sensitive things!"

Councilor Maxwell's tough words made Lordaeron's royal bodyguard behind Jaina, Knight of the King Farric, frown, and as a queen, Jaina couldn't back down on this kind of faction-related matter , she smiled gently, but responded in a subtle way:

"My younger brother is indeed a bit reckless, but this time I don't think he did anything wrong."

The archmage reached out and brushed her long golden hair with a trace of white, she said with a smile:

"Pure soldiers don't need to think about politics, and that's not what they need to think about. Tandred just made a not-so-perfect decision based on his status as a soldier. Didn't your General Valentine make the same decision? "

"I'm not here to argue with you about this, little Jaina."

Congressman Maxwell raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said to Jaina indifferently:

"We have repeatedly emphasized that the federation and the empire are not yet hostile. I personally hope that you will not extend the hatred of the dark blade to the federation. Tanred's behavior is a very dangerous sign. Your Majesty, the federation is just unwilling Making enemies does not mean that we will be at the mercy of the empire...but because of our private friendship, I still suggest that you and His Majesty Alsace behind you think carefully about it."

"If the current misfire turns into an all-out war...even without the assistance of the Dark Blade, I don't think the Federation will lose! You and Alsace have seen the civilized society of the Federation with your own eyes. Regarding this, you should Knows this better than any other king."

After finishing speaking, the somewhat staid congressman nodded slightly to Queen Jaina, followed the ambassador of the Federation to Pandaria, got into a carriage, and left in the direction of the Heavenly Temple.

"Let's go too."

Jaina watched the former elders leave, she sighed silently, and then said to Farric beside her:

"The pandaren here don't seem to welcome us. When you meet the pandaren's leader, you should be gentle and don't wear weapons."

"Well, as I command, Your Majesty the Queen."

————————————————————————

"I heard that Sect Leader Zhu gave the envoys of the Federation and the Empire a severe blow?"

The great lord walking in the elegant and fresh bamboo forest of the Jade Forest asked softly:

"The monk with a tough personality sent Tenred and Valentine to the Great Wall to serve hard labor before the representatives from both sides arrived? Hehe, what a beautiful job!"

"That place is called Beaulieu's Back! It's not called the Great Wall."

The shadow following Tyrion corrected her eldest brother's grammatical mistakes, and then she said briskly:

"Zhu Taran hated these two forces very much because of the conflict between the Federation and the Empire in the outer seas that caused the sha energy riots. Because of his intervention, the Golden Lotus Sect, which originally planned to open the port to the two sides for trade, also gave up this plan. According to According to the panda people, they seem to have to examine the attitudes of the Federation and the Empire first... But how to say, the panda people are not stupid, I think that in a month at most, the ports of the Jade Forest and Krasarang Jungle will be correct. It's open to both parties."

"Hmm... Based on your assessment results, do you think the pandaren in Pandaria can continue to remain neutral in the gap between the Federation and the Empire?"

Tyrion walked with his hands behind his back in the bamboo garden blown by the breeze. He said:

"And what about their attitude towards the Blightcaller?"

"According to the report submitted by Cordana, Zhu Taran and his Shado-Pan faction are a huge organization that has existed for 10,000 years. The power of the Shado-Pan faction spreads all over Pandaria. Although the pandaren have no superficial army , but just the addition of the Shado-Pan sect and the four guardian monks of the Heavenly God Temple is an extremely large number, according to our evaluation results of these monks who use "Zhen Qi"..."

Shadow hesitated for a moment, and said to his leader:

"If the Federation and the Empire want to coerce the Pandaren to fall to one of their sides by force, they need at least five standard legions to defeat these well-trained monks in an all-out war. It is said that on the Serpentine Spine, the Pandaren still stationed a large number of extremely elite guardians. Once those warriors who have been fighting the dangerous Zerg mantid head-on all year round join the battle, the resources that the Empire and the Federation need to invest will multiply."

"We also need to consider the impact of the supreme god here on the war... In short, according to the initial assessment of the intelligence agency, at least in the next five years, the empire and the federation should not be able to launch a large-scale conquest against the pandaren action, but it is inevitable to win over neutral pandaren through trade means."

"As for the contact between the Pandaren and the Blightcallers, we can't see the results yet, but I have a feeling that the senior leaders of the Pandaren should be very interested in this kind of absolutely neutral third-party force... especially the Blightcaller The latter's theory of "balance between life and death" is very similar to some important teachings in the traditional culture of the pandaren. Therefore, both Director Maiev and I are optimistic about the relationship between the pandaren and the Blightcaller. "

"Very good, reasoned and convincing."

Tyrion was not stingy with his praise, he waved his hand and said:

"Then let this situation continue to develop. Looking at the history of pandaren, this race is absolutely impossible to be enslaved or defeated. Under that optimistic appearance, there is a heart that is tougher than the earth. , even the Legion of the former Titan Guardians failed to conquer them. Although I am not afraid, I do not want to destroy such a race with an extremely bright future... As long as we get rid of the influence of the Sha on this land... then The panda people, who have stagnated for nearly ten thousand years, will definitely surprise us."

"But speaking of it, you shouldn't be in Uldum now..."

Tyrion suddenly thought of something, he looked back at the shadow, and said with a serious face:

"Although I am in Pandaria, and the Legion of Dark Blade will enter here in the future, you should understand that the actions of Uldum are more than 10 times more important than those of Pandaria!"

"Director Maiev is in overall charge of Uldum's operations!"

Shadow replied in a deep voice:

"She won't let you down! Trust me!"

Tyrion didn't respond, he just stared into Shadow's blood-red eyes, and after a few seconds, he shook his head:

"Then I'm looking forward to the results she gave me...Speaking of which, between you and Maiev...Is the old relationship revived? Or..."

This sudden private question made Shadow's long ears twitch twice. She thought she was hiding it well, but Tyrion still saw through it at a glance. After ten seconds of awkward silence, Shadow turned his head to the other side , she said as if complaining:

"You don't want me, don't you allow me to find someone else?"

"cough cough"

Hearing this complaint, Tyrion coughed twice violently. This was totally not what an undead should do. Obviously, he was using this clumsy disguise to hide his embarrassment. He walked towards the front walk:

"Uh, the green dragon is calling me, it's time to solve the evil spirit of the Jade Forest..."

"In addition, I wish you happiness, and..."

"sorry."

Seeing Tyrian fleeing like flying, the shadow standing there shrugged. After a while, a chuckle came out from under the mask, and there was still a trace of regret that could not go away. The deputy director put her hands in her pockets and walked alone in this secluded bamboo garden. She seemed to enjoy this quietness very much.

And after a while, a faint sigh came from the bamboo forest:

"Aurelia... I was born thousands of years earlier than you, but you are 300 years ahead of me..."

"It would be great if I met him first..."

"You lucky woman..."
