War is about one-stop fighting, especially in this war mode that relies more on the individual bravery of soldiers, the emotional changes of soldiers will directly affect combat effectiveness.
The original life-and-death environment can arouse people's impulse to kill and maintain a strong desire to fight. However, the emergence of non-combatant zones gave soldiers on both sides a haven to calm down.
In this way, the battlefield rhythm of both sides was completely disrupted.
Although it disrupted the war situation, on the high elves' side, no one would publicly criticize it, even if they did not understand or disagree with the mediation team's approach.
Even as more and more casualties were rescued in non-combatant areas, the reputation of the Mediation Group in Silvermoon City became higher and higher. The direct impact this had on non-combatant areas was that High Priest Vondelor and his apprentices entered
Camp.
Seeing that the mediation group was playing its role again, Beloir, Vondelor and others who were originally rationalists also saw hope. In this way, the high elf priests also joined the ranks of treating the wounded on both sides.
Although the priests of Silvermoon City are also inspired by the Holy Light, they are from the same sect as the Holy Light Church of the human race. The injured who were rescued did not care about this, they only saw the high elves treating them.
At first, the high elf priests were very resistant to treating enemies, but under the inspiration of the managers, they also learned to treat everyone equally.
Of course, there are some things that are unacceptable no matter what, and naturally they leave the camp and only shine in their own camp.
It is worth mentioning that after two weeks, several Amani trolls actually chose to stay in the non-combat zone and became members of the rescue team, and there was even an Amani witch doctor. As for the hundred-year-old named Azib.
The husband, the captain, is also among this group.
The wounded who returned to the battlefield also began to share the wonderful experience of being injured with those around them. This can be said to be an invisible weakening of the morale of both sides.
For Amani, it is not only the invisible power that has been weakened, but more importantly, the establishment of a non-combatant zone has cut off their important source of military rations.
Every Amani is prepared to be eaten after death, but as long as they are alive, they only think about "eating food" rather than "turning into food".
Trolls are a hunting race and occasionally collect some fruits. The natural barrier of the Amani Trail keeps the high elves out, but it also prohibits the Amani from hunting. After the war began, apart from the dried meat that had been stored in the past, there was only the dried meat on the battlefield.
The corpses were left for them to eat.
Hunger is gradually destroying Amani's will to fight.
Amani also thought about taking the initiative to attack the non-combat zone and remove this disruptor. However, their attack was met with a joint counterattack by the non-combat zone and the high elves.
Whoever attacks a non-war zone will be subject to a joint attack. This principle did not even need to be proposed by Li De, and the high elves had already understood it on their own.
In this way, Amani's conspiracy was shattered. After their attack was repelled, the dead and injured were still taken away by the rescue team, which made those Amani even more desperate.
In order to prevent the desperate Amani from killing each other, Li De would send people to the front lines every day to deliver them supplies just for food.
The person escorting the supplies was naturally Lal. Recently, his daily task was to bring the supplies to persuade them to surrender, and then Zuljin would drive them away with crossbows and arrows and axes. Of course, Zuljin accepted all the supplies as ordered.
Despite Zul'jin's prestige, the Amani have not yet experienced large-scale desertions, but even Zul'jin himself knows that it will be difficult for the Amani to continue fighting.
The same is true for the high elves. They are inherently more rational than the Amani, and many wounded soldiers have different thoughts after returning to the army. As more and more such people become more and more, different voices have begun to appear in the army.
Although the voice is not loud, it is already a serious problem if an army cannot be unified.
Moreover, Sylvanas and the others also heard that just a few days ago, the wounded in the non-combat zone organized a football match. How can we continue to fight after a battle has ended like this?
"This is too ridiculous. Your Majesty must be asked to make a decision. Whether it is war or peace, there should be an explanation."
Sylvanas said angrily that she was just a general responsible for fighting, and the problems she was encountering now were beyond her capabilities.
Anastria is also tired. There are too many troll villages. The Dragon Eagle troops he sent can only investigate the situation of one village in two days. The intelligence he has received in the past half month is very limited.
However, judging from the available intelligence, the figure of 200,000 is definitely false, but there is always an army of 20,000 to 30,000. The troll army in the south is gathering in one place, and it is time for him to make a decision.
…
"I want to talk to you."
When Sunstrider disguised himself and took the initiative to visit the Eagle Wing Plaza Hotel to say this, Talanji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they are confident about the second mediation plan, everyone is still nervous until they see the light of day.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Talanji said with a smile.
Archmage Ansrem, who rushed over from the next room after receiving the invitation, also had an expression as if the stone had finally fallen to the ground.
"Before Archmage Antonidas leaves, he appoints me as his full agent. Dalaran will still seek benefits for Quel'Thalas."
His words made Sun Chaser feel better. After all, he took the initiative to seek peace, which was too shameful. Lothar, who also came after hearing the news, happily shook Sun Chaser's hand.
"Hello, Your Majesty, I will serve as a witness for this secret conversation."
The specific details of the secret talks are unknown, but the final result is that the high elves promised not to occupy Zul'Aman, but the land they own must be pushed forward fifty kilometers on the original basis of the Yanghen-Fengxing line to connect the north-south road.
It is completely under the control of Silvermoon City.
Zandalari recognized Quel'Thalas as having more land, and promised to help execute the war criminal Zul'jin and persuade the forest trolls who were heading north.
…
With the secret talks the night before, the formal announcement of the resumption of the armistice agreement the next day was nothing more than a formality.
When the news reached the front line, there was an uproar among the high elves, but many people also cheered.
As for Li De who was not in the war zone, he was very calm after hearing the news. It was inevitable to restart peace negotiations. Instead of being prematurely happy, it was better to think about how to land smoothly.
"Teacher, I'm back!"
While Li De was thinking, Niebuhr, who was dressed in rags and carrying only a wooden stick, walked into the conference hall under the leadership of Brad.
"Ha, you're back. How's it going? Have you figured out the situation?"
"It's clear that among the forest trolls that are heading north, the most powerful one is the 'Evil Branch Tribe', and their sphere of influence is in Xinsaro in the Hinterlands.
After Orgrim united with Zul'jin, they also sent a team to join the Horde. However, they have basically been damaged by now.
This time the forest trolls responded to Zul'jin, the Evil Branch tribe mobilized more than 5,000 people, and their priest Hex was also elected as the commander of this army.
And I also discovered that this Hex has his own ambitions. He wants to occupy Zul'Aman himself after the high elves get rid of Zul'jin!
It was just because he was under the banner of aiding Zul'jin that he gained support from other tribes, so he did not make any public announcement about this matter."
Because there was too much content, Niebuhr deliberately wrote it down on parchment and read it to Li De.
Li De clapped his hands and laughed happily.
"This is all thanks to you! Tell me, how did you find out all this?"
Not long after the non-war zone was established more than half a month ago, Li De was preparing to restart negotiations. The Amani tribe was already declining, and what really needed to be taken seriously were the trolls heading north.
At the beginning, Li De made the beggar-thy-neighbor strategy of blooming trees, implying that the alliance countries would let the forest trolls run wild. Now that the purpose of putting pressure on the Sunstriders was achieved, they could not really be allowed to invade Quel'Thalas.
So Li De sent Niebuhr and 100 people to investigate the situation. Unexpectedly, the situation was investigated so clearly in just ten days.
"After you sent me out, we left Yongsong Forest and at the junction of the two places in East Wilder, we put on these clothes and pretended to be wild trolls."
As he spoke, Niebuhr pulled off his tattered clothes.
"Before the first negotiation, I left a small team in East Weald. This time I contacted Samuelson first, and they had already figured out the situation in various places.
Soon we grasped the movements of the forest trolls, so the 100 of us found an opportunity to join their team.
Let’s just say that it is the Zogen tribe that separated from the Amani thousands of years ago, but it has never had a large population, so it is not famous. Now to help Zul’jin, we must also contribute.”
While recounting this episode, Niebuhr bent down again and took two unsteady steps, making everyone laugh.
"Then what happened?"
"Things became much simpler after that. There were many small tribes and villages like ours, with at least a few dozen people, who joined the coalition. We were able to sneak in easily.
After entering their team, they were given nothing more than wine, meat and gold coins. Everyone dispersed to inquire about information. I secretly bribed a guard of the Evil Branch tribe and obtained a lot of important information from him.
After confirming that there were no new harvests, we escaped from it at night. Others changed their clothes and were waiting to pass the high elves. I couldn't wait any longer, so I climbed back up the mountain to report the news."
Li De was moved after hearing this. Niebuhr said it simply, but how dangerous would it be? Unknowingly, Niebuhr had grown so much.
"Thank you for your hard work. This journey must have been difficult."
Niebuhr shook his head.
"Thank you, teacher, but I really don't have that many difficulties this time. The most difficult thing is probably to pass through General Halduron when we set off."
Thinking about this now, Niebuhr was still full of complaints. After they received the mission and set off, in order to avoid misunderstanding, they specially brought release warrants from all levels, including Sylvanas, and even invited a Dara
Master Ran and a high elf accompanied him to see him off.
But even so, Halduron searched the 100 people one by one on the pretext that there might be Amani spies. If he hadn't been carrying a heavy responsibility, Niebuhr really couldn't bear this arrogance.
Vondelor, who is here, is ashamed of this. Years of conflict with Amani have made Halduron neurotic. He is kind and upright to his own people, but he is a completely different face to the outside world.
Li De could only comfort him.
One moment and another, this is not the main conflict at the moment, so you can ignore it for now. However, things are changing, and Azeroth is so dangerous, who can't help it?
Fortunately, there were no glitches in the process, and the movements of the southern tribes were understood. The next step was to solve the problems of Amani and Zul'jin.
