The surface of the portal shone with a blue halo, swaying like the lightest water waves. Jaina, wearing the robe of the archmage, walked through the portal a little tiredly and came to the continent of Pandaria, the capital of the Pandaren civilization and the most important part of the Pandaren society.
Bustling area, emerald forest.
This temporary teleportation hall is located in an abandoned manor. In that square, there are more than a dozen large teleportation gates lined up there, which can lead to almost any place in the world.
The fog barrier off the mainland of Pandaria has been completely dispersed 3 days ago. The sea route from the outside world to this continent has been unblocked, and space teleportation can also be used normally. However, along with the Empire's Invincible Fleet and the Federation's Black Ark Fleet
After the news of the heavy losses spread in the South China Sea, almost everyone who was well-informed knew that there were some dark and strange things hidden on the continent of Pandaria.
Of course, for greedy pirates and merchants, such shady things are not enough to stop them from chasing wealth, but the problem is that in the past few days, more than one merchant ship has witnessed with their own eyes the sight of something coming from the deep sea.
The terrifying fleet floating on the surface of the sea... That is the most terrifying legend in the entire endless sea.
The Dead Sea Fleet of the Dark Blade Legion!
It was a fleet commanded by "Sea Demon King" Dai Lin. Horrible legends about it have spread to every corner of the world in recent years, and the emergence of the Dead Sea Fleet seems to represent a frightening future.
That is, the Dark Blade Legion, which has been operating in Northrend 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 merchants cheer.
Everyone knows that as long as you do things peacefully and don't want to make some dangerous big news, then the Dark Blade Legion will not make things difficult for ordinary businessmen, and wherever the Dead Sea Fleet appears in the sea area, the pirate forces entrenched in the local area will be treated with a kind of
Cleaned up with outrageous cruel methods.
Now, they have finally arrived in the South China Sea. These damn golden waters, which have been in chaos for hundreds of years, will probably become orderly because of this, right?
"Where is my troublesome brother?"
The Queen of Lordaeron and the Archmage of New Dalaran looked at the guide beside her. She 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 inquiry, the ambassador swallowed hard and said softly:
"I met with His Excellency Prince Tanred the day before yesterday. The pandaren here did not abuse him and his soldiers, but...but just yesterday, they were escorted out of the Emerald Forest by Shado-Pan monks.
It is said that he was sent to a place called Panlongji, where he had to perform hard labor for up to three months."
"Be bold!"
Hearing that the brother she cared about was actually sent to work as a coolie, Archmage Jaina's beautiful face suddenly flashed with anger. The staff in her hand hit the ground, and then she looked at the shivering ambassador in front of her with a frosty face.
explain:
"Take me to the highest commander of the pandaren here! They have no right to humiliate a prince of Kul Tiras like this!"
And almost at the moment when Jaina's words fell, in the square not far away from them, another suppressed angry voice sounded almost at the same time:
"What? Valentine was sent to hard labor? Who gave those unbridled pandaren the power? Those are official officials of the Federation! They have no power to do this!"
This roar attracted the attention of many people, including Queen Jaina. The Archmage turned his head and saw an old acquaintance. The roaring old man also turned his head thoughtfully at this moment, just in time to see the royal family.
Queen Gianna was being protected by the guards. Both of them had strange looks in their eyes, and a hint of embarrassment at the same time.
After a few seconds of silence, the old gentleman took the initiative to step forward. He waved to the federal government protection personnel around him not to worry, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to Gianna:
"Little Gianna, we haven't seen each other for several years, right?"
"Marshal Maxwell... Oh, no, I should call you Mr. "Congressman" now. Indeed, we have not met since the founding ceremony of the Arathor Empire, and that was almost seven years ago.
It’s something.”
Gianna graciously held the hand of the old man who was wearing a black dress, holding a cane, and had an unruffled 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 about the fleet?"
When the former Field Marshal of the Kingdom of Storms, an old comrade-in-arms of Field Marshal Reginald Windsor, and Congressman Maxwell heard this, a wave of ripples flashed across his calm eyes, and he said softly:
"This is a regrettable thing, little Gianna. It shouldn't have happened...Seriously, you should discipline that troublesome brother in your family. I heard that all this
It's all because Tanred ignored the situation and forced the Federation fleet to retreat, and also brazenly declared that the Pandaria sea area is the Empire's sea territory? It's really strange. How come I don't know when you inserted the Empire's territory on the Pandaria continent?
Flag? Young people, you are always open to talking about these sensitive things!"
Councilor Maxwell's strong words made the Lordaeron royal guard captain behind Jaina, the King's Hand Knight Farric, frown. As a queen, Jaina could not back down on such a matter that related to the camp.
, she smiled gently, but responded cryptically:
"My brother is indeed a little reckless, but I don't think he did anything wrong this time."
The Archmage reached out and brushed her long golden hair with a hint of white, and she said with a smile:
"Pure soldiers don't need to consider politics, and that's not what they need to consider. Tanred just made a less than 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, little Gianna."
Congressman Maxwell raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said to Gianna indifferently:
"We have repeatedly emphasized that the Federation and the Empire are not currently hostile. I personally hope that you will not extend your hatred for 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 allow ourselves to be slaughtered by the empire...but due to our personal friendship with each other, I still suggest that you and His Majesty Alsace behind you consider it carefully."
"If the current misfire turns into a full-scale war...even without the assistance of the Dark Blade, I don't think the Federation will lose! You and Arthas have seen the civilized society of the Federation with your own eyes. Regarding this, you should feel that
Knows this better than other kings."
After saying that, the somewhat staid congressman nodded slightly to Queen Jaina, followed the federal ambassador to Pandaria, got into a carriage, and left in the direction of Tianchan Monastery.
"Let's go too."
Jaina watched her former elder leave. She sighed silently, and then said to Farric next to her:
"The Pandaren here don't seem to welcome us. When we meet the Pandaren in charge, we should be gentle and don't wear weapons."
"Yes, as ordered, Your Majesty the Queen."
———————————————————————
"I heard that Master Zhu gave a severe blow to the envoys of the Federation and the Empire?"
The great lord walking in the elegant and fresh bamboo forest of the Emerald Forest asked softly:
"That tough-minded monk sent Tanred and Valentine to the Great Wall for hard labor in advance before the representatives from both sides arrived? Haha, what a great job!"
"That place is called Panlongji! It's not called the Great Wall."
The shadow following Tyrion corrected her boss's grammatical error, and then she said in a brisk tone:
"Zhu Taran hated these two forces because the conflict between the Federation and the Empire in the outer sea triggered the Sha energy riots. Because of his intervention, the Golden Lotus Sect, which originally planned to open the port for trade between the two sides, also gave up this plan. According to
According to the panda people, they seem to want to check the attitude of the Federation and the Empire first... But how can I put it, the panda people are not stupid. I think that in a month at most, the ports of the Emerald Forest and Krasarang Jungle will be right.
It’s open to both sides.”
"Well...based on your assessment, do you think the Pandaren of Pandaria can continue to remain neutral between the Federation and the Empire?"
Tyrion put his hands behind his back and walked in the bamboo garden that was blown by the breeze. He said:
"And what about their attitude towards the Blighter side?"
"According to the report submitted by Cordana, Zhu Taran and his Shado-Pan are a huge organization that has existed for ten thousand years. The power of the Shado-Pan is spread throughout Pandaria. Although the Pandaren do not have an apparent army,
, but the total number of protective monks from the Shado-Pan and the Four Heavenly God Temples is also an extremely large number. Judging from our evaluation results of these monks who use "Qi"..."
Shadow hesitated for a moment and said to his leader:
"If the Federation and the Empire want to use force to force the Pandaren to side with them, they will need to dispatch at least 5 or more standard legions to defeat these well-trained monks in a full-scale war, and I heard
It is said that on the Dragon Spine, the Pandaren also stationed a large and extremely elite group of guardians. Once those warriors who have been fighting against the dangerous Zerg Mantid all year round join the battle, the Empire and the Federation will need to invest resources.
It will multiply.”
"We must also consider the influence of the Supreme God here on the war... In short, according to the preliminary assessment of the Intelligence Bureau, at least within 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 definitely inevitable to win over the neutral Pandaren through trade."
"As for the contact between the Pandaren and the Blighters, we can't see the results yet, but I have a feeling that the top management of the Pandaren would be very interested in this absolutely neutral third-party force...especially the Blighters.
The theory of "balance between life and death" is very similar to some important teachings in the traditional culture of the Pandaren. Therefore, Director Maiev and I are optimistic about the relationship between the Pandaren and the Blighters.
"
"Very good, well-founded and convincing."
Tyrion was not stingy with his praise. He waved his hand and said:
"Then let this situation continue to develop. Throughout the history of the Pandaren, this is a race that is absolutely impossible to be enslaved or defeated. Under that optimistic appearance, hidden is a mind that is tougher than the earth.
, even the former Titan Guardian legion 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 eliminate the influence of the evil demon on this land... Then
The panda people, whose development has been stagnant for nearly ten thousand years, will definitely give us a surprise."
"But speaking of which, you shouldn't be in Uldum right now..."
Tyrion suddenly thought of something. He looked back at the shadow and said seriously:
"Although I am in Pandaria, and the Dark Blade's legion will also enter here in the future, you should understand that Uldum's actions are more than 10 times more important than Pandaria's!"
"Director Maiev is fully responsible for the operations in Uldum!"
Shadow replied in a deep voice:
"She won't let you down! Please believe me!"
Tyrion did not respond. He just stared at Shadow's blood-red eyes. After a few seconds, he shook his head:
"Then I look forward to the results she will give me... Speaking of which, between you and Maiev... is the old relationship rekindled? 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 more than ten seconds of awkward silence, Shadow turned his head to the other side.
, she said as if complaining:
"If you don't want me, why don't you allow me to find someone else?"
"Ahem"
Hearing this complaint, Tyrion coughed twice. This was not an action that an undead should make at all. It was obvious that he was using this poor disguise to cover up his embarrassment. He hurried towards him as if fleeing.
Walking forward:
"Well, the Azure Dragon is calling me. It's time to solve the mystery of the Emerald Forest..."
"Also, I wish you happiness, and..."
"sorry."
Seeing Tyrion fleeing as fast as he could, the shadow standing there shrugged. After a moment, a chuckle came out from under the mask, and there was still a trace of regret that would not go away. This person from the Dark Blade Intelligence Agency
The deputy director put her hands in her pockets and walked alone in the quiet bamboo garden. She seemed to enjoy the silence.
And a moment later, a faint sigh came from the bamboo forest:
"Alleria... I was born thousands of years before you, but you were 300 years ahead of me..."
