Zul could not hear Sharlayan's soliloquy from thousands of miles away at this time, but as an evergreen tree in Zandalari politics and an old man skilled in maneuvering, he could vaguely sense the recent trend in Dazar'alor.
Not quite right.
Relying on the contract and blessings obtained from the kings Lo'alaizan, the god-king Rastakhan appears to be only middle-aged, but his real age is more than three times that of the senile Zul.
Due to Laizan's consistent tough attitude, Rastakhan, as a contractor of Laizan, was involuntarily pushed to the position of representative of the hardliners.
After experiencing the failure of the naval battle with Kul Tiras, Rastakhan, who is not sluggish, clearly realized that blindly being tough will only lead to the end of Zandalar, whose national power is weakening day by day.
Using the death of his wife and the failure of the war as an excuse, Rastakhan, a representative of the hardline faction, pretended to be crazy and retired, temporarily handing over the power of Zandalar to the leader of the Zandalari Council, the relatively moderate leader of the Zandalari Council, the Prophet.
you.
Rastakhan, who has hidden behind the scenes, has not recovered from this. He has been secretly planning the major event of replacing the kings of Loa, hoping that through the downfall of this hard-line pillar, Zanda, who still has no self-awareness, can advance rapidly.
Apply the brake immediately.
Acting always requires a full set, and Rastakhan, who "lost his fighting spirit", is inconvenient to go out. His only daughter, Princess Talanji, naturally becomes the agent of the God King.
Although Rastakhan and his daughter put most of their energy on preparations related to replacing the kings of Loa, this does not mean that they are indifferent to the war in Northrend.
Facts have proved that Zul's foreign policy of uniting the three feudal empires seems to be out of date in the current era.
Rastakhan temporarily handed over the power to Zul, his old partner who had cooperated with him for many years, out of trust. However, Zul's performance made him very disappointed.
The war in Northrend, which was originally thought to be a sure thing, has been unable to achieve a breakthrough. The blood trolls that have been suppressed in the past few years are showing signs of resurgence. The foxes and snakemen who had been staying peacefully in the Voldun Desert actually also plan to fight.
March into Nazmir and get a piece of the pie.
The wise Rastakhan knew that all the bad news that was coming one after another could not be entirely blamed on Zul. However, other members of the Zanchuli Council did not think so, including Talanji, who was still young and inexperienced and lacked experience in governing.
Princess.
Sharlayan recently heard from Vol'jin, who was behind enemy lines, that Princess Talanji had complained privately many times that Zul had led Zandalar into the quagmire.
This evaluation was only circulated among the second-generation Zandalari elite circle with Princess Talanji as the core at first. However, the paper cannot contain the fire after all, and related gossip has gradually begun to flow into the people.
First of all, it needs to be made clear that the Zanchuli Council is by no means monolithic, and there are many senior Zandalari people who are jealous of Zul's power.
As the saying goes, everyone pushes against the wall. Seeing that Zul, who has suffered successive setbacks, is showing signs of losing power, some conspirators trying to take advantage of the opportunity have begun to secretly move forward, waiting for the final result of the Northrend war to be announced.
In Sharlayan's opinion, Zul just took too big a step and broke his legs.
Although the Zanchuli Council holds a high and powerful position, the Zandalari Empire is not the binary system it was in the early years of Quel'Thalas.
Since it is called an empire, the authority of the emperor is always supreme...unless the contemporary emperor is a mediocre person visible to the naked eye.
Let’s not mention the iron-headed guy Laizan. The aging and sophisticated Councilor Zanchuli all know that Rastakhan’s decadence is deliberately pretending, which means that the power of Zandalari is still in the hands of the God-King.
Prophet Zul? The god-king is just temporarily delegating the power to control the country to him, and he can take it back at any time.
While Zul was fully promoting his plan to unite the three feudal empires, he ignored the hidden dangers from within the empire.
That is to say, Rastakhan has not yet spoken. Once the news of Northrend's defeat comes back, even if the God-King is unwilling, he will have no choice but to let Zul, who is currently the leader of the ruling party, take the blame.
【Behead Ma Su with tears?】
[That’s what I mean, but I don’t think Zul, who has a lofty ambition, will take the blame honestly. I’m afraid there will be some turmoil within Zandalari. 】
[The more chaotic the better, many people in Zandalari’s upper echelons still haven’t recognized their situation in the current era, and still cling to the glory of their ancestors in the past.]
[It’s time to give them a wake-up call. If they don’t learn a lesson, those old trolls with noses that reach the top of their heads will never learn what it means to be pragmatic.]
With Vol'jin, the internal agent, delivering information on his behalf, and Bwonsamdi's subordinates adding fuel to the fire, Zandalar's internal turmoil will happen sooner or later, but it's not yet clear how big the turmoil will be.
After Foreign Minister Calpurnia rushed from the mainland, Sarlayan, who temporarily took charge of the military and political power as a grand duke, completed the handover with her, and planned to return home without incident.
As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Vereesa will temporarily stay in Northrend. After the results of the diplomatic negotiations are announced, she will return the military power to Lylas and return to the homeland with Alleria.
After being "fooled" by Zandalari twice and failing twice, Malak finally made up his mind to draw a clear line with Zandalari.
But as the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Although Malak chopped off the head of the Zandalari envoy with an axe, he did not dare to make any rude move towards the direhorn dragon Loato Kali.
Although Tokali signed a contract with the Zandalari, she did not care about the death of individual Zandalari...after all, the envoy who was hacked to death was not her believer.
There is a high probability that when Dhaka comes later, there will be some friction with Zandalari, and only after finding a way to send away the great god Tokali will they cut off contact with Zandalari.
However, these post-war chores have nothing to do with Sarlayan. Officials from various departments who came with Calpurnia will properly handle the aftermath.
On the fifth day after the armistice between the two armies, Sarlayan finally waited for Onyxia to return from Zandalar Island.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since neither snakes nor foxes are good at arcane magic, Onyxia, who retired after completing the plan, could only fly across the sea first.
Boralus, the capital of Kul Tiras, and then use the teleporter directly to New Shandalar.
After reuniting with the Black Dragon Princess, Sarlayan and his party of five quietly passed through the portal and returned to Silvermoon City.
Stellagosa, whose injuries have not yet recovered, returned to Unicorn City under the care of Tinagosa. Sharlayan and Valeera needed to go to the Sunstrider Court to report their duties first.
Onyxia, who has been busy for a while, is ready to reward herself. She plans to put down all her chores and relax in the bustling Silvermoon City for a while.
The battle of Ulduar is over, and the big stone weighing on Sarlayan's head is finally put down. With Laden and other guardians guarding Ulduar, at least for a short time, there is no need to worry about Algalon's destruction of the world.
If nothing unexpected happens, Sarlayan will rest in China for a long time.
You may still go out intermittently for various small things in the middle of the journey, but at least until Deathwing jumps out to do something big, it's unlikely that you'll be out and about for as long as this time.
In order to ensure victory in the Battle of Ulduar, Sarlayan made a lot of preparations, but due to some accidents, many of his back-ups were not used.
For example, the Pillar of Creation artifact is used as a secret weapon to press the bottom of the box.
Except for the Guardians using both the Shield of Aggramar and the Hammer of Khaz'goroth in the final battle against Yogg-Saron, the Eye of Aman'Thul borrowed from Suramar was placed on Saron from beginning to end.
Leian's space package was filled with dust.
Including Grand Guardian Laden, the Titan Guardians knew little about the power of time. However, Nozdormu, who was good at this, was unable to enter Ulduar to participate in the decisive battle. Until the end, no one used the Eye of Aman'Thul.
Take advantage of it.
After returning to Silvermoon City after the war, Sharlayan entrusted Kael'thas to arrange for trusted confidants to return the Hammer of Khaz'goroth and the Eye of Aman'Thul back to Highmountain and Suramar respectively.
Before leaving Ulduar, Sharlayan specifically asked for Laiden's opinion, and the Great Guardian agreed that Sharlayan should keep the Shield of Aggramar for his own use.
At least for the next few years, the Titan Guardians will be busy with various matters in rebuilding Ulduar and are unlikely to rush to the front lines to participate in the battle in person.
Rather than letting the Shield of Aggramar sit in Ulduar and gathering dust, it would be better to let Sarlayan put it to good use.
After marriage, Kael'thas no longer works all day long and late at night as before, and he will consciously squeeze out some time to accompany Queen Anweina.
After sending away the old King Anasteria with his own hands, Kael'thas realized the value of his family, and he did not want to regret it after losing it.
Excluding those side tribesmen who are not close to each other, Anweina is Kael'thas' most important family member. He is determined to maintain this relationship and stay with Anweina for a long time to come.
"It turns out that there are so many things happening behind this war."
After listening to Sharlayan's detailed description, Kael'thas sighed with emotion.
"Thank you for your hard work. Fortunately, you are running around for me outside. I don't have the energy to take care of all kinds of important events at home and abroad at the same time."
Sarlayan smiled and shook his head: "I should, but I plan to take a good rest for a while, so I'll ask you for a leave first."
Kael'thas responded gently: "It is indeed time for you to rest. There are endless things to deal with. Spend more time with your family. Don't be like me... In your words, a child wants to be raised but cannot be loved.
