Since the death of her father, whom she depends on for life, Vesina has been living in a haze, following the fleeing people. Occasionally, at the request of others, she will use the knowledge she learned from her father to provide them with some reference.
Her life has become so miserable that Vesina feels that she has nothing worth losing and nothing worth gaining from others.
Vesina wants to take revenge on the undead from the natural disaster that took away her father, but as the daughter of a scholar, she can't guarantee it in other aspects. She still has self-knowledge.
As a non-combatant, it is no more than wishful thinking to seek revenge against the undead of the Scourge. We can only hope that the regular army of Azjol Nerub can defeat the Scourge and take back their homeland.
Most of the refugees who escaped together were not aware of the horror of natural disasters, but Vesina, who was considered an intellectual after all, knew this very well.
Unless the entire natural disaster army can be wiped out with thunderous means at once, leaving them truly exhausted, this group of undead monsters that feed on war and fight more and more will only become more difficult to deal with day by day.
So the question is, can Azjol-Nerub's regular army defeat the Scourge?
Vesina is just a preparatory scholar who was born as a civilian. She has no understanding of military aspects and dare not make any random conclusions.
However, judging from the performance of the long-lost security forces in her hometown, Vesina does not have high hopes for this.
While the confused Vesina was wandering around and escaping to the surface with the refugee team, she accidentally met several weirdos who claimed to be high elves.
The aesthetics of different races are completely different. In the eyes of Sarlayan, Valeera and others, Vesina's bugs have a rather ferocious appearance and are a bit slimmer than other bugs.
However, according to the standards of the Nerubians, Vesina is a well-known beauty.
In the same way, in Vesina's view, Valeera is also an ugly girl with a weird appearance.
Although it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, it is undeniable that appearance is the first impression when interacting with others. Good-looking people are usually more likely to gain favor from others.
Vesina instinctively doubted whether the "ugly girl" in front of her was just talking nonsense and boasting.
But then she thought about it, besides this beautiful skin, she had nothing to lose.
Vesina once learned a lesson from her father.
How to fall in love if you are of different races?
In Vesina's eyes, Valeera is an out-and-out ugly girl, but Vesina does not think that her aesthetics are universal values.
Perhaps in the eyes of this race called high elves, the pleasant-speaking young lady in front of them is also a beauty?
Maybe in Valeera's eyes, she is also an ugly girl with a strange appearance?
After having random thoughts in her mind for a while, Vesina forced herself to focus again.
"I'm... not sure if I can fulfill the role of middleman you mentioned. I've never seen a king in my life."
Vesina was born in a small town on the border of the Kingdom of Azjol-Nerub. Growing up, she only went to the capital twice with her father. The highest-ranking official she met was the director of the Institute of History.
Valeera didn't care about this, all she needed was a local to guide her, so that she could minimize unnecessary trouble on the way to the capital of Azjol-Nerub.
As for the identity of the other party, it actually doesn't matter.
According to the latest battle report from the Faldorei scouts who have sneaked into the vicinity of the battlefield, more and more natural disaster undead are gradually taking the initiative on the battlefield.
Without outside intervention, the Kingdom of Azjol-Nerub would likely be completely destroyed by natural disasters, and the entire clan would be transformed into undead spider monsters.
This is obviously what Anub'arak, the king of Azjol-Nerub, does not want to see. No king would want to feel the grief of a country's demise.
To put it simply, Azjol-Nerub needs outside help, and Quel'Thalas can give them the reinforcements they want.
After more than two years of renovations, the new recruit training in Sundala City has long ended. Those apprentices brought out by veterans who have fought hard on the battlefield will definitely not only know how to talk on paper.
However, without personally experiencing the trials of blood and fire, recruits are still just recruits after all.
The Scourge of the Undead is the enemy of all living people. In the same continent of Northrend, New Shandalar City will conflict with them sooner or later.
In this case, for future considerations, it is better to take the initiative to intervene in a war involving the undead natural disaster and give the soldiers of New Shandara City a vaccination in advance.
Only in this way can they experience the difficulties of the undead natural disaster and prepare for possible wars in the future.
Of course, this is only one aspect, the other is a political issue.
Even though Sarlayan has repeatedly mentioned to the cabinet the harm that the Undead Scourge may cause in the future, he has never had actual contact with it. Most of the cabinet ministers have always been suspicious of Sarlayan's empty talk and think he is a bit alarmist.
It's not that the ministers are deliberately targeting him, they are just too confident in Quel'Thalas, which has existed for more than 7,000 years and is still strong today, and they don't have enough understanding of the undead Scourge's characteristic of relying on war to support war.
To put it simply, it is a kind of self-confidence.
Sarlayan hopes to use this local war taking place underground to awaken the ministers in the cabinet, so that they can see with their own eyes the actual combat reports submitted by the frontline soldiers, and be sufficiently vigilant against the expansion of the undead disaster.
The reason why Sarlayan originally proposed to rebuild Shandara was to divert the overcrowded population of Yongsong Forest, and planting Akandor was only one of the main purposes.
And another, more obscure goal that could not be stated clearly at the time... was to closely monitor the undead natural disaster that would inevitably rise in Icecrown Glacier in the future.
Since the new city of Shandalar was successfully built under the baptism of war, of course it must play its role as a barrier in the North, providing early warning of the expansion of the undead disaster in Northrend, so that the local area can prepare for it in advance.
Sharlayan indeed plans to use the undead scourge as an external threat to reunite the armies of Azeroth, which are scattered internally.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He plans to establish a transcontinental military organization led by Quel'Thalas to protect Azeroth.
This military organization is different from the alliance and tribe mentioned in the barrage. It will not focus on internal fighting, but mainly targets external threats including the undead, ancient gods and demons.
Considering the powerful national power of the Night Republic, Sarlayan did not plan to immediately invite the night elves from the other side of the continent to join. He planned to further strengthen the reputation and influence of Quel'Thalas in the Eastern Kingdom first.
Today, the country with the strongest presence in the Eastern Kingdom is still Lordaeron, known as the first kingdom of mankind.
If you want the Undead Scourge to develop to the point where it can attract the attention of the Burning Legion, it is inevitable to allow them to grow to a certain extent.
So where do the sources of natural disaster troops come from?
The answer is self-evident.
[Salayan wants to sacrifice the people and territory of Lordaeron to weaken their international influence and take the opportunity to make Quel'Thalas bigger? Isn't this... a bit despicable? 】
【?】
【Holy Mother? Or Holy Mother Bitch?】
[Salayan is a high elf, and it is natural for him to seek the welfare of his own country. What is there to complain about using external forces to weaken enemy countries? 】
[I also agree that Lordaeron is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. Although it can barely maintain its title as the first kingdom of mankind, the signs of decline are already visible to the naked eye. 】
[If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to step on them and gain power, how can Quel’Thalas gain more say in the international community? How can we become the helmsman of Azeroth? 】
[But sacrificing the people of other countries to pave the way for myself, I always feel that...it’s not right.]
[Brother, in the face of the general trend that affects the survival of the country and even the world, if it were you, would you give up your own interests and give priority to taking care of your neighbors? 】
【This is human nature, human nature is selfish.】
【When there is no spare time to take care of the overall situation, trade-offs are inevitable.】
[After all, Quel'Thalas is still too weak and has no power. 】
[Under the tremendous pressure from both the Burning Legion and the Ancient Gods, you can’t even guarantee your own safety. How can you have the energy to care about others? 】
[Don’t forget, Quel’Thalas has the Sunwell, a source of hugely attractive magic power. If the Burning Legion’s attention is not diverted... do you think Quel’Thalas will have a good outcome? 】
[A dead Taoist is not a poor Taoist, Terenas, you’d better die first.]
The barrage disagreed on whether Lordaeron should be sacrificed to fatten the Scourge, but their quarrel would not affect Sharlayan's decision.
In the words of Danmu, if I don’t go to hell, who will.
Even if he is accused of selfishness by other countries in the future, Sarlayan has no intention of changing his original plan.
Reinforcing Azjol-Nerub was part of his plan.
Although he has made up his mind to limit the growth of the Scourge, Sharlayan does not want to lose control, so it is necessary to prepare enough limiters for Ner'zhul.
The mole Kel'Thuzad is one, the new city of Shan'dalar is another, the new city that the night elves are building in the Sholazar Basin is another, and Azjol Nerub may become the fourth limiter.
But before that, Sarlayan must first find out the position of the nerubians and find out whether they still have contact with Ankhet, who is loyal to Yogg-Saron.
