The Dread Lord has a clear understanding of his own strength, and he is not arrogant enough to think that he is more powerful than the Faceless Overseer.
Under the joint attack of the Alliance, Kezan and the Night Elves, the fall of the Dread Lord was no surprise. What only made Li De worried was that when he pierced the rune blade into the heart of the Dread Lord, the other party was actually there.
Smile at him.
"Protector Li De, I will come back one day. You must live well before we meet next time."
The miserable green evil flames ignited and burned the Dread Lord's body to ashes.
Li De frowned and looked at the place where the Dread Lord disappeared for a long time without saying anything. Dai Lin, who was also sweating and panting, was a little confused.
"Li De, what does this guy mean?"
Grand Magister Ansrem Tilede solved Dai Lin’s doubts.
"The Dread Lords are a type of high-level demon that can be seen in the history of Dalaran. They were born in the Twisting Nether and are almost never killed in the physical world.
The Dreadlords we killed today will be reborn in the Twisting Nether soon. Of course, because they did not come to the physical world in their true form, the Dreadlords in Azeroth will also be greatly reduced in strength."
"Big discount?!"
Not only Dailin, but also the Kezan goblin opposite was frightened.
If only part of his power is so difficult to deal with, how terrifying will his true strength be?
"Azerite, the Ancient Gods, the Burning Legion... what a troubled time it has been."
Staghelm said with a dark expression, and Shandris and Grashina also showed fear. They had all experienced the ancient wars and witnessed the disasters brought to the world by the Burning Legion.
Ruido Fons ordered people to change to a set of tables and chairs used for negotiation, and tried to make his voice thicker when he spoke.
"Goblins have never cared about world security, because these things were very far away from us in the past thousands of years. But now it seems that those things have really harmed the interests of goblins. For us interest groups in the physical world, it is best to choose a truce now.
The right choice."
Everyone could understand the subtext of these words, and the faces of the senior leaders of the alliance did not look very good.
It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to uncover threats within the alliance today, but the biggest problem is that this guy was discovered by the goblins.
There are also evil forces on the Alliance's side that are fueling the war. This incident undoubtedly undermines the legitimacy of the Alliance's war.
"Let's go back to the starting point. The threats of the Faceless Men and the Dreadlords have been eliminated. External threats do exist, but matters within the physical world still have to be resolved using the order of the physical world."
Li De knew that at this time, he had to clear up the source. It was absolutely impossible for Kezan to escape the sanctions.
"I understand that Kezan certainly recognizes the order of the physical world and hopes to participate in jointly maintaining order in the future. I just hope that the alliance will not forget Kezan's contribution in these two incidents."
Hot Sand is a smart man. He knows that it is unrealistic to offset the alliance's sanctions just by pointing to these two things, so he just gives up.
But Kel'Thuzad became interested in something.
"I actually have a question, how did Kezan realize that there was a problem with Boris's identity?"
A trace of panic flashed in Gigvonte's eyes but he soon regained his composure.
"I am both an alchemist and a mage. The evil energy represented by the Dread Lord is opposite to the arcane arts practiced by mages. As a mage, it is reasonable for me to be sensitive to evil energy, right?"
Although Gigfunt disguised himself well, Kel'Thuzad was able to capture the fleeting panic.
"Is this really the case? You must know that the disguise of the Dread Lord is a perfect disguise. Boris has always shown himself as an ordinary person. Neither I, the magister, nor the Great Magister Ansrem can catch the evil spirit."
If you can react, how do you see through his disguise?"
Gigvondt could only answer bravely.
"This is our internal confidential technology in Kezan. I have no comment."
Such reasons obviously could not convince Kel'Thuzad, but just when he was about to continue questioning, Staghelm interrupted him impatiently.
"Okay! Don't waste time on these minutiae! We have much more important things to deal with!"
Staghelm doesn't care about the interests of Kezan and the Alliance. There is only one thing he cares about from beginning to end, and that is Azerite.
Under Staghelm's interruption, Kel'Thuzad had to stop questioning, which made Zigvount and Hotsand secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and also became more wary of the mage.
…
The Twisting Nether is located at the edge of the universe, and Nathretha, which is the most edge of the Twisting Nether, is the home of the Dread Lords.
The Dreadlords are just the name given to this demon race by the people of Azeroth. Their real name is Nathrezim. The soul of every Nasrezim is placed here, which makes them unable to be killed in the physical world.
.
An image of the Dread Lord gradually took shape in Nasreza, and Nasrezim, who witnessed his rebirth process, said with a bit of ridicule.
"Hey, look, who is this? Isn't this the amazing Mal'Ganis? You are really embarrassed to be killed on such a weak planet."
Although not angered by the opponent's taunt, Mal'Ganis still responded with vulgar curses to maintain his dignity.
"Shut your mouth, Balnazzar, you ignorant bastard."
In the endless years before, they, the Dread Lords, followed the Burning Legion and destroyed countless worlds. Both Mal'Ganis and Balnazar had established outstanding military exploits, and the two sides had always had an unabashed competitive relationship.
"Of course I don't understand it as well as you. You know it best and know how to be killed."
Every Dread Lord is an eloquent person, and seductive words are their most powerful weapon. They believe in strategy more than force, so the Dread Lords' verbal sparring is always entertaining to watch, and of course it gets exciting.
It is also the most irresponsible.
"Haha, with the Archdruid, the Archmage, and the heroes and warriors gathered together, with such an enemy lineup, if you were there, you would lose faster than me. My defeat is not the point, the point is the details of my identity being revealed."
Mal'Ganis' words sounded like sophistry to Balnazzar. Although the Twisting Nether and Azeroth are separated by countless time and space, the Dread Lord can still observe Azeroth with the help of evil energy. In fact, Mal'Ganis
Balnazar watched the entire defeat.
"Isn't it because of your negligence that your identity was discovered by those arcane mages?"
"Fart, that's why I say you are an idiot. How can a mere arcane mage see through Nasrezim's disguise? Fortresses are always breached from the inside. There is a warlock in the negotiation scene."
"Warlock? There is a warlock in Azeroth?!"
This really surprised Balnazzar. After several orc wars, all the warlocks among the orcs were wiped out. There are actually races in Azeroth who can learn from the orc warlocks?
"That was a goblin warlock. He gave me the feeling that evil energy did not come from orcs. That guy was probably an independently developed warlock. After all, evil energy is the most inclusive source of power in the universe.
Chaos is everywhere in the universe and can never be eliminated. We must have faith and confidence in this regard."
Mal'Ganis' words made Balnazzar laugh.
"There is some truth to this, but what is the inevitable connection between this and your defeat?"
Gu Xiu
"Of course, our purpose is to create chaos in Azeroth. Now that the seeds of chaos have been planted in Azeroth, why do I have to do it myself?
I was killed neatly at this time. The goblins and the Alliance were partners in dealing with the evil energy, so the chance of being suspected was of course reduced a lot. In other words, my death could win the evil energy for them in secret.
Room to grow.”
After Mal'Ganis finished explaining his intention, Balnazzar nodded in agreement, and then felt a little strange.
"We are competitors, right? Why do you want to tell me your strategy?"
"Hehe, internally we are competitors, but externally we still have common interests. Don't forget, the Nasrezim are a united race."
After talking nonsense in a bad way, Mal'Ganis finally told the truth.
"If I can do it myself, of course there is no reason to tell you this. I was killed once and need to recuperate here for a period of time. I will not be able to come to Azeroth within more than ten years.
Although you are an idiot, you still have some merits. When you carry out operations in Azeroth, you must not forget that there is a seed of evil energy among the goblins."
…
The heart of Azeroth is immortal in the Twisting Nether, and while the Dread Lord is brewing evil plans, the negotiations on Kezan Island have finally come to an end.
Kezan formally submitted a letter of surrender to the Alliance. The general content of the letter of surrender is as follows:
Kezan conditionally surrendered to the Alliance and reduced 70% of the army; paid war compensation of 2.4 million gold coins (90% from the Six Kings of Kezan and 10% from Booty Bay; a one-time delivery of 1 million gold coins,
The remainder will be delivered in ten-year installments); return all Union prisoners of war.
As a condition, alliances and other groups need to guarantee:
Kezan can still engage in business activities within the sphere of influence of the Alliance and other groups (under the supervision of the Alliance and other groups);
Accept goblins into the joint meeting of all races (until the war reparations are paid, they only have the right to observe, not discuss the matter);
To be exempted from war crimes including Rangsand (Rangsand and others are required to hand over 50% of their illegal gains in gold coins in addition to war reparations, hand over all items obtained from the black dragon, and explain all information related to the black dragon to the Dragon Legion)
material).
Attached:
Regarding the Azerite matter, given that the veins exist underground in Kezan, Kezan has ownership and partial disposal rights.
But the prerequisite is that a seven-member team composed of night elves, dragons and the Alliance must conduct a secret evaluation of Azerite (except for the supervision team, key information will not be disclosed to the respective races).
In other words, after the surrender ceremony, there will be such a group to conduct a survey and evaluation of the Azerite underground in Kezan to promote the harmlessness of Azerite.
…
Three days after everything was settled, King Terenas of the Alliance came to Kezan after two teleportations and one transfer to a sea ship. The important figures who also came here were the Red Dragon Queen and the Bronze Dragon King.
Everyone gathered in Kezan to participate in this surrender ceremony.
Resha, who was dressed in plain robes with a stern face, led several other trade kings to submit letters of surrender to the alliance.
Terenas, Daelin, Li De, Staghelm, Alexstrasza, and Nozdormu signed their names on the surrender letter one after another. After that, the Bronze Dragon King cast magic on the surrender letter, ensuring that
Within twenty years, the treaty will be effective. If that party dares to breach the agreement, it will suffer corresponding magical backlash.
In fact, both parties are more or less dissatisfied with this letter of surrender. However, if you think about it from another perspective, it can be understood that both parties are satisfied if they are not satisfied. At least it is relatively fair overall.
The most dissatisfied among them was Staghelm. After a lot of mediation by Li De and others, he reluctantly accepted the arrangement for Azerite.
If given a choice, Staghelm still hoped to completely ban Azerite, but in the end he also understood that this matter was unrealistic.
First of all, with the Faceless Men and the Dread Lords, a truce is an inevitable trend. It is unrealistic to expect the goblins to completely abandon Azerite. Instead of pursuing an impossible goal, it is better to settle for the next best thing.
In this context, an organization such as the "Supervision Group" finally emerged.
The so-called seven members of the supervision team actually refer to the core members. There are naturally a larger number of officers surrounding these seven core members.
Therefore, what is not found in the details of the treaty is that there will be an "office" for Azerite in Corzan later, which is essentially a garrison in Corzan.
Staghelm had already made up his mind. He must join the core group of seven. Although the treaty had been enchanted by Nozdormu, Staghelm was confident that with his outstanding operation, even if Azeroth was not revealed.
With unique key information, you can also plant trees on the ground to form a magic circle, turning the underground Azerite veins into a great World Tree.
…
"Strim Wilder, this is the result of your hard work? An extremely humiliating treaty!"
After the surrender ceremony, Mogul held the treaty and shook it around. If he hadn't been afraid of the hot sand, he would have thrown the treaty on the opponent's face.
"You should have raised your doubts earlier. Now that we have signed the treaty, isn't it too late for you to complain again?"
I didn't even bother to raise my eyelids due to hot sand, so I said it in a neutral tone.
"..."
Mogul was speechless. Of course he signed the treaty with his own hand. In fact, he was just venting his emotions.
"Do you understand that this treaty is a shackles on Kezan! As long as this treaty exists, Kezan will not be able to develop further."
Resha nodded to express his understanding, and then spoke again.
"You are right. This treaty restricts Kezan, but it cannot restrict the goblins. The magic here requires the goblins not to break the contract, but it also supervises the other parties.
What you see is how much compensation we paid and how many troops were disbanded, but what I see is that from now on, the goblin business practices are protected.
Has this defeat made you lose your self-confidence? Goblins are the most outstanding business race, so what can they do even if they are under supervision?
In the future, if goblins can bloom all over Azeroth, Kezan will be a hair above the nine."
The words of Hot Sand really made everyone excited, but Mogul sighed.
"It's a pity that some people don't think like us. That night elf named Staghelm has definitely begun planning to use life spells to drain away the Azerite from our underground!"
Although it was just a guess, I have to say that Mogul's guess was very accurate. This was also related to the fact that Azerite was his last resort, so he paid special attention to Staghelm.
After Resha learned about Mogul's worries, he was still confident and comforted.
"Don't worry, that Staghelit can't make it into the seven-member core group."
…
And as if to confirm Hot Sand's words, a tall and majestic night elf appeared in front of Staghelm. The pair of antlers on his head symbolized his supreme status among the night elves.
