Seven days after the coronation ceremony of the Imperial Emperor, a shocking news spread rapidly from the Winter Palace in New Stormwind to the entire Empire.
His Majesty Emperor Varian Wrynn will break the political deadlock between the Empire and the Federation and hold talks with the Supreme Council Speaker of the Federation, His Excellency Edwin VanCleef, at Boralus Port in Kul Tiras.
According to rumors flying all over the sky, it is said that after this meeting, the Empire and the Federation will open their borders to each other, and people from both sides can freely travel between the two countries. They only need to pay an inexpensive fee. In the Empire
You can apply for something called a passport at the administrative office.
The merchants of the empire also found out the good news in advance. It is said that during the meeting between the emperor and the speaker, there was also an agreement on trade between the federation and the empire. In other words, from now on, they no longer need to do smuggling work and can work openly and openly.
The two countries are doing business. Of course, those guys who just like to do black work will have to wash their hands and go ashore. Therefore, once a real trade agreement is signed, it means that both sides will start to crack down on smuggling at the same time.
This made many large merchants feel pain, but they were actually very happy. After all, who doesn’t like money transferred openly?
The last piece of gossip is about the Stratholme area in the northern frontier of the eastern continent.
That place is a disputed area between the Federation and the Empire. The Empire considers it to be their ancestral land, but the Federation wants to continue to maintain the existence of the Order of the Silver Dawn and is unwilling to just return Stratholme to the Empire.
According to those who are well-informed, in the end of this matter, it is likely that both sides will take a step back and allow the Order of the Silver Dawn to truly become a buffer zone for both countries. It is said that it will change from a military area to
The news of becoming a free trade zone also caused many speculators to buy tickets to Stratholme as quickly as possible.
They will take advantage of this peaceful east wind to show off their talents on that ancient land.
These chaotic and surprising news also successfully attracted the curiosity of the people in the empire, making them ignore the changes happening around them, such as those nobles who suddenly disappeared, such as those properties that were surrendered, and such as various
The administrative talents in the kingdom who are willing to accept the invitation from the empire are heading to New Stormwind City in batches to undergo administrative ability assessments and regain official positions in the new system.
Under the management and order of the Emperor, the empire's center began to operate again. Many staff who had followed Emperor Lothar returned to their jobs at Varian's call, and with the help of the darkness under the light of the empire
With the help of the world's forces, those nobles who try to escape or resist will be captured by MI7 agents before they can actually take action.
Basically, there are no large-scale conflicts, only some small local wars. Information about these wars is also tightly sealed and will not be known to the people of the empire.
Amid the attention of those homesick people, time finally came for the summit meeting between the Empire and the Federation. In today's Port Boralus, the Proudmoore family dispatched almost all their soldiers and put the entire city under martial law.
The significance of this talk is so important that if any omissions occur, it will be a terrible disaster for human civilization.
In order to express his sincerity, Emperor Varian Wrynn personally led the four guardians of the empire to welcome the Federation Speaker from afar at the Port of Boralus.
The original kings became grand dukes, but they also had new, cool official positions.
For example, Garin Trollbane's Warden of the North, Liam Greymane's Warden of the West, Derek Proudmoore's Warden of the East, and Arthas Menethil, Warden of the South.
As the spokespersons of the Varian government in the major kingdoms, they are the real military and political leaders. Their rights are no less than when they were kings, and they are still in the operation of the overall system. Of course, with the development of the empire,
After re-stabilization, the power of the guardians will inevitably be replaced by a gradually complete political system in the future, until finally, the empire truly becomes a united country.
There may still be conflicts between them and the emperor, but that's okay. After all, they have already taken the most difficult step.
"Bang, bang, bang"
As the federal fleet docked at the Port of Boralus, a 48-gun salute accompanied by musical horns sounded throughout the port. Speaker Edwin Van Cleef in a wig appeared on the deck a few minutes later.
He wore a black tuxedo lined with a white shirt. Although the speaker's figure was a little out of shape, no one would care about this on this grand occasion.
When Speaker Edwin waved his hand to the people in the port, bursts of warm calls filled the port, and behind Van Cleef, the federal parliamentarians, humans and elves in formal attire
, dwarves, gnomes, werewolves, vampires, and the undead are also sizing up the territory of the empire. In the past confrontations, not only the empire would distort the federation, but the federation would also distort the empire. For some congressmen, this is their
In a real sense, it is the first time to set foot on the land of the empire.
But they felt no hostility...
Looking at the cheering crowd, they felt that there was actually no difference between the two sides.
"Speaker Edwin, thank you for your visit."
When the Speaker walked down the gangway, Emperor Varian took a few steps forward and took the initiative to extend his left hand. Edwin Van Cleef looked at Varian's face that was covered with scars and traces of time.
Face, he suddenly fell into a strong sense of déjà vu, and his shrewd thinking seemed a little confused at this moment. He said to Varian:
"When you were still in charge of Stormwind City, I was just a foreman. I led the Mason Brotherhood to build the city wall for you, but you couldn't come up with the money to pay us..."
"yes."
Emperor Varian was not angry or at a loss. He looked at Van Rief in front of him and said:
"If I could have come up with enough money at that time, maybe the scene where we meet now would be different."
"Ha ha"
The Speaker smiled, stretched out his hand, held Varian's hand, and said softly:
"If you had paid at that time, I would definitely not be qualified to meet you on such an occasion now, but what can I say...it's all over! Thank you for taking this step, Your Majesty the Emperor, you have shown goodwill,
The Federation...the Federation will not disappoint you either.”
"Um."
Varian nodded and said softly:
"I'm sorry that I disappointed you back then, Lord Van Cleef, but this time, I won't do it again!"
The hands of the two people are holding together, which is quite a bit like meeting each other and letting go of grudges with a smile. This moment will also become a moment that will be remembered by history. It may be written into textbooks and become a must-have history question that children hate the most.
, all the gentlemen present will also be greeted a thousand times a few years later by those children who have a headache for exams.
But no matter what, it's over...
new era...
Set sail here...
—————————————
At the same moment when the leaders of the Empire and the Federation began to talk, on a small island in the Endless Sea, Dornan Dawn Blade had just completed a major event in his life.
This girl's hands were filled with powerful elemental power. Amidst the surge of storm, fire and earth power, in front of her eyes, the powerful water elemental lord imprisoned by the void of shadow roared unwillingly.
In the end, he had to accept Dornan's elemental contract, which became the last link to complete the balance of the four elements in this girl's body.
This water element lord is different from ordinary water elements... Well, this is almost Dornan's style. The elements she contracts are different from ordinary elemental creatures.
For example, the last descendant of the original earth in the world of Draenor, the rebellious earth elemental lord Krog'Maw.
For example, the small Ragna of fire element was born from the power essence of Ragnaros, the King of Fire Demons, and has unpredictably powerful potential.
Another example is Sunderland, the Wind Chaser who was once a prince of the wind element, and whose powerful power of quiet wind could command all winds.
Finally this one!
In the Throat of the Abyss of the Water Elemental Realm controlled by the Tide Hunter Neptulon, the famous Duke of Elements, Duke Hydraxis, whose body is filled with the oldest and purest power of still water.
It is a very powerful elemental lord. At least the ancient Wind Chaser Sunderland once said frankly that Duke Hydraxis, like it, is a powerful ancestor element that was born when everything in Azeroth first opened. It was in the abyss.
The status in the Throat is very noble, similar to Sunderland's status in the Sky Wall. Once the tide hunter Neptulon dies unexpectedly, the Duke of Hydraxis will most likely become the next one.
A wave hunter.
But now, this tyrannical being of the Throat of the Abyss has been contracted by a little shaman who has not yet fully grown up to become his own elemental creature. This makes the water element very angry, but it is unable to resist because there is a more powerful and ancient being.
The power of the void is commanding it.
In the ancient times of Azeroth, the Elemental Lords were servants of the Old Gods, and now, the power of the void that binds Duke Hydraxis comes from a true void creature.
.Uh, a pretty young lady with black hair on her head.
Xalatath, who claims to be the fifth ancient god!
Under her suppression, Duke Hydraxis's resistance was meaningless. He could only passively wait for his fate. On the other side of the island, the great lord Tyrion stood on the island holding a sword.
On the beach, in the water in front of him, Tidehunter Neptulon, the elemental lord in the elemental realm of Azeroth, was holding the trident that commanded the sea, confronting the great lord.
The tide hunter came to rescue his subordinates, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed up, he saw the great lord Tyrion waiting for him. The moment he saw the great lord, the tide hunter instinctively thought
Escape from this sea, because as the oldest element, it can clearly feel the power of death that has been completely sublimated in Tyrion's body.
That is not an opponent it can deal with... Even the most powerful fire demon Naglaros among them cannot compete with the big lord in this world. Unless the four elemental lords gather together, it is slightly possible, but according to the elements
Due to their chaotic nature, the four elemental lords gathered together. Not to mention joining forces to fight against Tyrion, I'm afraid they would have to fight within themselves first.
But now, the tide hunter can feel that the big lord in front of him is not hostile. He is just intimidating it so that it will not interfere with his daughter's important affairs, that's all.
And as time passed little by little, seeing that Duke Hydraxis could no longer escape the fate of being contracted, Tidehunter Neptulon gritted his teeth, and this very anthropomorphic water element king prepared to truly
It retreated, and at the moment it retreated, Tyrion, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke:
"Neptulon...I have a question for you."
"Um?"
The tide hunter turned around, looked at the great lord, and said coldly:
"Am I obligated to answer you?"
The moment the Lord of Elements spoke, the entire sea within Tyrion's field of vision began to fluctuate. As long as Neptulon was willing, he could instantly set off a war that would destroy everything in this sea.
Ocean tide.
"You have no obligation, but I really want to know, so you'd better tell me!"
The great lord put away his sword and said to the elemental lord in front of him:
"Deathwing has been hiding in the Earth Elemental Realm and Deep Rock for the past few years, right? What conspiracy is it brewing? And... Stonemother Therazane, has it turned against Deathwing?
That side?"
"I have no idea!"
The Tide Hunter answered simply. The water element shook its crystal body with a faint blue light, and said in a deep voice:
"My relationship with the Stone Mother is not as good as you think, but recently, there are indeed some disturbing rumors in the elements. It is said that the fallen guardian of the earth has gathered a huge dragon clan in the Abyss Continent.
Legion, what is with him is not the black dragon mother, but the red dragon queen Alexstrasza, but that red dragon has been reduced to a miserable fertility machine..."
"The mixed blood of the two giant dragons gave birth to some destructive beasts with great power but not enough wisdom, and the Stone Mother... Deep Rock Continent is its territory, but it allows the death to happen.
The wings are developing their own power there, so I think they may have united, but why would they unite? Frankly speaking, I can’t figure it out.”
The Water Elemental Lord showed a puzzled look, while the Great Lord nodded silently. He thought about it for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the tide hunter in front of him, and said:
"I will tell you the answers you want to know, about the power behind Deathwing and the reasons for the choices the Stonemother made, and I will tell you more, but not now... Anyway, wait until I say it
After that, go back and prepare, Neptulon."
"A grand war is about to begin, and your Throat of the Abyss and all the water elements in the world..."
