Noticing Tandre's movement of quietly sighing in relief after finishing his explanation, Kael'thas smiled and expressed his approval for his coherent description.
"As Crown Prince Tandre said, the ideological battle between Rastakhan and Zul has been going on for many years."
"It is precisely because of this difference in governing philosophy, one to the left and the other to the right, that Zandalari's policies have been somewhat erratic over the past few decades."
"But..." Kael'thas's expression became serious: "With the declining spirit of Rastakhan, he took the initiative to give in, and now the Zandalari Empire has almost become Zul's voice."
"Princess Talanji nominally replaces Rastakhan as regent, but her philosophy is quite similar to Zul's. There is no conflict between the two parties...at least not yet."
"According to the intelligence provided to us by Sen'jin, Princess Talanji is one of the Zandalar envoys who assisted the Darkspear trolls in defeating Hakkar this time."
Kael'thas said solemnly: "Under Senjin's subtle words, the young and inexperienced Princess Talanji inadvertently exposed part of Zandalari's next plan."
Velen, who had already sorted out his thoughts, stroked his beard and asked in a deep voice: "Zandalar wants to help the forest trolls and frost trolls regain their prestige?"
Velen's question answered the doubts in the minds of the leaders present from a side perspective.
King Zeon, who was suddenly enlightened, twitched his lips and said with habitual sarcasm: "No wonder Duke Shadow and the Sun King describe this matter so vividly. It turns out that Zandalari threatens your vital interests."
Jean's words were a little unpleasant, but they hit the point.
Both the forest trolls and the frost trolls have spheres of influence bordering Quel'Thalas. If they are really persuaded by Zandalari's plan, Quel'Thalas will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the impact.
Sarlayan didn't pay attention to Genn's ridicule, and took over the topic and continued calmly: "Quel'Thalas does not force you to fully help in the conflict between elves and trolls."
"The mainland of Quel'Thalas is confident enough to resist the attack of the forest trolls. Even if Zandalari sends Loa to help, we are confident of holding the line of defense."
"The problem is that……"
Sarlayan frowned and pointed to the Arctic continent on the map: "Northrend."
"Every king should have heard of the concept of the 'Battle of Ulduar' to some extent. This is an important war that is not directly related to the mortal kingdom, but its outcome is closely related to everyone in Azeroth.
"
"Regarding the recent changes in the situation, my only request is that I hope you can provide strong logistical support to the Northland coalition forces in Kul Tiras and Quel'Thalas."
"My requirements are not high, as long as I can ensure that the unrest caused by the trolls coming from Dakkar will not affect the battle situation in Ulduar."
Calia, who had received help from Sarlayan not long ago, was the first to express her gratitude without hesitation.
"Lordaeron has no objection. As long as we are not allowed to directly participate in the war, some logistical supplies are not worth mentioning."
Varian also followed up with his statement: "The Kingdom of Stormwind is also facing the threat of trolls. Although the jungle trolls led by the Darkspear clan have no intention of expanding externally for the time being, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
"
"The Kingdom of Stormwind is willing to provide supplies. I hope that the Northern Alliance forces can successfully win this local conflict. Through this proxy war, we will weaken Zandalari's influence on the three major troll empires and consolidate the borders of the Kingdom of Stormwind in disguise.
.”
In the wars of the past few years, the biggest losses suffered by the alliance countries in successive wars were their population.
As long as they are not allowed to send troops to directly participate in the war and just provide some logistical supplies, there is no harm in it.
Moreover, as Sharlayan said, the civil war between the Titan Guardians has no direct connection with mortals, but if Loken... or Yogg-Saron behind him wins, it will be a big blow to the entire Azeroth.
A disaster.
Therefore, the kings of various countries who had a good view of the overall situation were willing to provide some help within their capabilities. Even King Jean, who had the most bad temper, did not speak out against it at this time.
…
With this most important matter in the near future reaching an agreement, the Alliance Conference ended, and the kings of various countries entered the portal and returned home.
Sarlayan will also end this rare period of relaxing vacation and embark on a new journey again.
Before setting off again, Sarlayan and Kael'thas had a discussion about the current domestic situation.
After the last fishing bureau hosted by Anastria during his lifetime ended, the stubborn old aristocratic power completely declined.
Recently, various branches of the founding aristocrats are still fighting each other desperately, waiting for the last winner to inherit the huge family business.
Kael'thas, who was busy taking care of red and white affairs, did not put much energy into their internal struggle. As the real winner who was hiding behind the scenes to control the situation, he only had to wait patiently for the outcome.
No matter who comes to power, the founding aristocracy will no longer be a hindrance to Kael'thas's continued reforms. He can freely work with the cabinet to implement many new policies that have been prepared for a long time.
Sarlayan is not very interested in the changes in the domestic political situation. He is concerned about the possible new actions of the forest trolls and frost trolls.
Fortunately for the forest trolls, their capital city of Zul'Aman was captured by Quel'Thalas a few years ago, and the overlord clan Amani was almost completely wiped out, so it no longer poses a threat.
The most powerful forest trolls today are the Vilebranch clan who settled in the Hinterlands, followed by the Deadwood clan that wandered between the Hinterlands and Arathi.
These two clans are too far away from the mainland of Quel'Thalas, and they also have their own local competitors that they need to face. It is unlikely that they can penetrate the alliance's defenses and go north to Eversong Forest.
The forest trolls closest to Quel'Thalas are the weaker Rottenmoss clan, and Sharlayan doesn't think they will come here to die on their own initiative.
If the Zandalari envoys are really so eloquent, Sharlayan wouldn't mind letting them experience for themselves the defensive bonus that the upgraded Sunwell can provide to Eversong Forest.
In contrast, the frost trolls, who have long been determined to retake Drak'saron Fortress, are more likely to launch a counterattack with the support of Zandalari.
According to the recent information sent back by the Backlight Blade branch in Northrend, the movements of the trolls coming from Dakkar are indeed questionable.
As early as more than two months ago, they stopped their endless struggle with the grizzly-throated furbolgs and took the initiative to withdraw from the border of the Grizzly Hills.
Retracting their fists does not mean that the Dakkari trolls have given in to the furbolgs. Lylas Windrunner stationed in Drak'saron Fortress speculated that they should be doing it to ensure that the next punch will be more powerful and more infuriating.
Unprepared.
Since Lalas was unaware of the changes in the world situation, he subconsciously believed that the next attack target of the Trolls from Dhaka would still be the Grizzly Maw Furbolg.
"Send Vereesa to help."
Regarding the defense of Northrend, Sarlayan put forward his own suggestions.
"Laras's growth is basically in line with expectations, but his overall view is still lacking. This war can be used by Vereesa to teach him by words and deeds."
Kael'thas nodded in agreement and said, "That's what I planned too. Ranger General Sylvanas had better stay at home just in case. It would be appropriate to let Vereesa, who is temporarily fine, go over to reinforce her."
Sharlayan sighed softly: "To be honest, I don't want to kill all the frost trolls."
"The land east of Drak'saron Fortress is too cold and not suitable for high elves to live in. Even if we capture the entire Zul'Drak, it is of little significance. It is not worth investing a large number of troops to fight the frost trolls."
A cold light flashed in Kael'thas's eyes: "But we can't let the trolls from Daka step on us, and we must not be soft when it's time to show off our swords."
"A few years have passed, and they may have forgotten the painful lessons of the past. It is necessary for us to remind them through this local war."
"besides……"
Kael'thas solemnly asked Sharlayan: "Based on the current situation, do you really think it is possible for Zandalari to sign that unanimous foreign agreement?"
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not sure, we can only see Vol'jin's subsequent performance. I hope he can convince the Zanchuli Council with his sharp tongue...at least Princess Talanji."
"Princess Talanji..."
Kael'thas touched his thin golden eyebrows thoughtfully: "Talanji has only become active in Zandalari's political scene in recent years, and the Backlight Blade doesn't know much about this princess.
Do you think she has the potential to be a facilitator of an agreement?"
"Maybe." Sarlayan looked up at the gorgeous chandelier on the ceiling: "My understanding of her comes from Wo'jin. Strictly speaking, Talanji's governing philosophy is different from Zul."
"Compared with Zul's gentle treatment of his own race, the cruel approach of foreign races may be due to his lack of qualifications. At least so far, Talanji has no obvious prejudice against the major races in Azeroth."
"In my opinion, the young Princess Talanji will be more persuasive than Zul, whose views have long been finalized."
