Chapter 729 Its not me thats wrong! Its the world!
The alliance with Azjol-Nerub is of great importance, and Sharlayan cannot just listen to Anub'arak's words. He must confirm it himself before he can truly make a conclusion.
If you hurriedly form an alliance with Azjol Nerub, but later find out that these nerubians have been in contact with Yogg-Saron, then you are really putting a sheep in the tiger's mouth and actively giving Yogg-Saron the opportunity to infiltrate Quelsa.
Lars' Ladder.
Fortunately, the wise Anub'arak understood Sarlayan's caution.
"Okay, when facing a cunning monster like the Ancient God, you can never be too careful."
"Seeing is believing. Marquis Shenying should go to the border area to check it out personally, but..."
Anub'arak walked down from the throne platform: "I plan to rush to the front line in person to buy some time. I hope that you can complete the inspection work as soon as possible and bring the much-needed reinforcements to Azjol Nerub as soon as possible."
Anub'arak's statement that he would go on a personal expedition caused an uproar. The ministers ignored Anub'arak's previous threats and turned the meeting hall into a vegetable market.
"Your Majesty! No!"
"General Anub'Rekan was resurrected by the enemy. You should also know his strength. If you have something in case on the battlefield..."
"No ifs!"
Anub'arak said categorically: "Now is the critical moment for the survival of the kingdom. I am the strongest warrior in the country, and I should be at the forefront to boost the morale of the soldiers."
"No need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind."
Anub'arak spoke earnestly to the ministers with different expressions: "Due to the death of Anub'rakhan, the morale of the frontline army has hit rock bottom and has been routing to the rear."
"At this time, someone must stand up to stabilize the situation and revive the morale of the military. Only I can handle this task."
From a logical point of view, there is nothing wrong with Anub'arak's explanation.
But in the eyes of Azjol-Nerub's ministers, the once glorious Azjol-Nerub actually fell to the point where the king himself needed to go into battle to restore the situation, which made them very ashamed.
[Haha~ Isn’t this strange? The king of Azeroth often charges on the front line. Anub’arak is not the first, and he will never be the last. 】
[That’s why the death rate of Azeroth’s kings remains so high. Look at the Kingdom of Stormwind. From the earliest Baratheon to Laarne, and then to Varian, three generations of the family have all died violent deaths. 】
[You put it this way... I always feel that Anduin's future is worrying. There may be problems with the genetic inheritance of the Wrynn royal family. ]
[It’s not just Wrynn’s family. The Sun King and his son from the Sunstrider family also didn’t end well in the original history. The same goes for the Menethil royal family. 】
[There are also Thoras Trollbane, Liam Greymane and the Perenold clan. The king of Azeroth is really in trouble. 】
Anub'arak was determined to go to the front line personally to restore the situation, but none of the ministers could defeat him.
The king has set an example, and the ministers can only grit their teeth and contribute their own private soldiers legally raised, and let them accompany Anub'arak to the front line, making sure to protect the safety of the king.
The Scourge Legion has proven with actual actions that they are capable of killing the powerful Nerubians.
Anub'rakhan has been sent, and the ministers cannot accept that Anub'arak also died at the hands of the undead.
Putting aside the issue of the kingdom's survival, just thinking about two powerful crypt spider demons standing in the enemy camp, the Nerub ministers could feel despair, and they would never let this happen.
Until Sharlayan personally confirms Azjol-Nerub's position, further in-depth negotiations will not be possible for the time being.
Seeing Anub'arak leading the private soldiers that the kingdom's ministers had hurriedly gathered to rush to the front line, Sarlayan and his party did not waste any time.
They followed Anub'arak and left the royal city from the other direction. Under the leadership of Vesina and Polva who volunteered, a group of seven people rushed to the border area with Ankahet as quickly as possible.
.
According to Vesina, the historian's daughter, the ancient kingdom Ankhet was larger in area than Azjol Nerub, and its vast territory symbolized the heyday of the Nerub civilization.
After escaping from the underground and re-establishing the kingdom of Azjol Nerub in the upper levels, and after years of diligent management by the Cryptid Nerubians, the population of the Nerubites began to slowly recover.
However, according to the research of many historians, today's Azjol-Nerub is still not as good as the Ankhet Kingdom at its peak in terms of population and territory.
This is actually easy to understand. The civil war at the time consumed a lot of energy among the Nerubians, and the kingdom of Noda was split into two due to Yogg-Saron's conspiracy.
The Nerubians who fled to the upper levels to establish a new kingdom were at most only about one-third of the number at Ankhet's peak.
For more than 10,000 years after that, Azjol-Nerub was still at war with the fallen of Ankhet.
With a large number of soldiers dying on the border battlefields every year, the population of Azjol-Nerub will naturally not grow faster.
On the way to the border of the kingdom that leads deeper underground, Sarlayan curiously asked Vesina what she thought.
Vesina has expressed many times before that she is very confused about her future, and just follows the crowds of refugees to seek refuge everywhere, without any real goals of her own.
Anub'arak's courage to rush to the front lines to save the kingdom's existence, regardless of her own safety, had some impact on her outlook on life.
Since her father died at the hands of the undead, Vesina has always been resentful towards the kingdom's senior officials who failed to save her hometown from destruction in time.
This is also human nature. The selfish psychology of intelligent creatures will make them instinctively shift their faults to other people or things.
A certain guy in the barrage also gave a vivid example of this.
[My mother was playing with her mobile phone in the living room while she was boiling water. When she heard the sound of the kettle and the water was boiling, she immediately rushed over to turn off the fire. However, she accidentally tripped over the fan wire she plugged into the wall. 】
【Did you fall?】
[No, she just staggered two steps, but she immediately turned around and scolded my dad in anger, saying that he didn’t even move when he heard the kettle ringing, causing her to almost trip over the wire.]

【Is this even okay? 】
[Hey! This is so true. My mother is the same. Anyway, once the trouble is revealed, it will never be her who is at fault. There must be someone or something interfering nearby. 】
【It’s not me that’s wrong! It’s the world!】
【Grass, it smells like that.】
The words are rough but the reasoning is rough. Although the examples given by the barrage guys are a bit crude, the meaning they want to express is easy to understand.
Intelligent creatures are accustomed to shirk responsibility. This is the instinct of self-protection. Only a few people can bravely stand up and admit their mistakes immediately. Most people will subconsciously find reasons for the mistakes they make.
After witnessing with her own eyes Anub'rakhan's courage to risk everything for the safety of the kingdom, Vesina felt very ashamed of her villain mentality.
The Skye family that Polva belongs to has always been loyal to the royal family. When Polva was a child, his father took him to the border and witnessed the brutal battles between border guards and degenerates, in order to make him realize that the peaceful life he enjoyed every day was hard-won.
Polva did not live up to the expectations of his old father. Born in a border town, he did not spend all his time chasing chickens and chasing dogs like those noble playboys in the royal city.
After being personally encouraged by King Anub'arak, Polva, who was not completely decadent to begin with, felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. He wanted to immediately go to the front line and give his last effort to protect the kingdom.
Saryan was not too surprised that he was willing to lead the way to Ankhet.
Vesina's volunteering was somewhat beyond Sarlayan's expectations.
He originally thought that the daughter of a historian who had lost her life goal was just a weak little girl who would only be sad for her future life and had no practical knowledge of national affairs.
After entering the palace and meeting King Anub'arak, Vesina's thoughts seemed to have changed.
In her own words, without her as a translator who was proficient in Elvish, communication between Sharlayan and others and the Nerub buggers would have been problematic.
Most of the people who are proficient in the Elvish language are the upper echelons of Azjol Nerub, and ordinary people cannot understand the language of the Elvish tribe at all.
[Why do you feel like your neighbor who lived a good life in childhood admired Chinese culture during the Warring States Period? 】
[Hey, it really makes sense. Senior samurai at that time were required to be proficient in Chinese, and also required to be able to read Chinese poetry and write Japanese songs. The miserable common people at the lower level couldn't do it at all. 】
[I’m going too far, let’s get back to the topic first.]
【The border has arrived.】
When we arrived near the passage bordering Ankhet, many of the surrounding Nerubian buildings were damaged, and ruins of buildings destroyed by war could be seen everywhere.
Obviously, the defense line built by Azjol Nerub on the border cannot be eliminated once and for all. From time to time, the fallen army of Nerub will still invade this heavily defended border village.
I wonder if Yogg-Saron knew about the actions of the Undead Scourge from some channel and wanted to beat up the fallen dog. The vicious offensive of the Fallen has not stopped recently.
Due to the unstable situation at the rear, the morale of the defenders on the border was low, and they were repeatedly attacked by the Fallen. The situation on the defense line was once extremely dangerous.
Sarlayan and others arrived at just the right time. The Fallen Nerubians were launching a new round of attacks on the border defense line. Two groups of Nerubites with slightly different appearances were fighting fiercely in the border area.
Sarlayan narrowed his eyes and looked at the fallen Nerub who were darker in color. Onyxia suddenly said: "Those are the fallen. As expected, their bodies are all affected by the power of the void."
