"What?" Sylvanas was shocked, and the little chance she had left in her heart was instantly shattered. She couldn't wait to grab the document and read it carefully.
Sylvanas looked calm as usual, but her heart was already turned upside down. The brat told her again that the human invitation letter had arrived. After the negotiation, it was time to directly lead the troops to go on an expedition.
What should I do? Is my sister really going to elope with that Turalyon? Sister! Sister! Is it so difficult for you to find a man? Quel'Thalas is so big, but there is no man you like? Why do you want to like it?
A human being? Human beings can live for 100 years, but you have to live for 300 years. Are you willing to be a widow for 200 years?
Alleria looked at Sylvanas who was in a daze strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Sylvanas's file?"
"Sister, if the negotiations go smoothly to form a coalition, who do you think the king will send to lead the army?" Sylvanas thought for a while and asked.
"It depends on the intensity of the war. If the scale is small, a mage group may be sent out. If the war is large-scale, even our Ranger Corps may be sent out. From the documents, human Stormwind City
It's very difficult now, which shows that the scale of the war may be relatively large, and the possibility of the Ranger Corps being sent to support is also high."
Alleria said: "Judging from the current situation in Quel'Thalas, there are two ranger legions that are most likely to be sent to support, one is the Farstriders, and the other is our Windrunners. The Farstriders are farther away from Silver City.
From the perspective of defending against trolls, it is unlikely that we will be dispatched. Our legion is in the far south, farthest from Silver City, and is most likely to be dispatched. Therefore, I am naturally the one with the greatest possibility of leading the troops.
.”
As Aurelia analyzed, Sylvanas's heart sank.
"Is it okay if you don't lead the troops to go to war?" Sylvanas said: "Let me go!"
"Maybe your ID card is not enough. If you really want the Ranger Legion to join the war, you need at least a general to lead the army. You are just a company captain now." Alleria shook her head and said.
"Then let other legions go!" Sylvanas said.
"I guess not," Aurelia shook her head and said, "Besides us, we are the only ones left with the main battle army of Taquilin, but Taquilin's place is much more important than ours. So the king and parliament will not transfer them there.
Yes, the subsidized legions will not be allowed to go into battle. Then there are only four legions stationed in Silvermoon City and Quel'Danas Island. Those royal parties have always only stationed in Sunwell and Silver City, and generally will not go out.
"
"I want to join the negotiating team!" Sylvanas said.
"Aren't you always not interested in these things? Why are you so direct this time?" Aurelia said strangely.
"Sister, wait a minute, I'll ask Lor'themar to bring you some information." Sylvanas stood up and walked out the door to call Lor'thema, and she continued her instructions.
After a while, Lor'themar came in with two thick investigation reports, put them on Alleria's table and said: "This thick report is about the various classes of nobles and commoners in the seven human kingdoms.
There are 7,000 investigation reports in total. This one is an investigation report on nobles and commoners in Quel'Thalas."
After speaking, Lor'themar performed a military salute and left the camp.
"These are..." Alleria looked at the two thick stacks of documents and asked Sylvanas doubtfully.
"It's about the different views of all walks of life in various human countries and all walks of life in Quel'Thalas after humans helped us fight off the troll attack last time. It's very interesting. You might as well take a look." Sylvanas
smiled.
"When did you have the time to do this?" Alleria asked casually as she opened an investigation report in Quel'Thalas.
"Last year, didn't Lor'themar indicate the date of the investigation under the report?" Sylvanas said as she stood up, walked to the table and picked up a compilation summary report and said: "Don't read those first.
The investigation has been completed, let’s take a look at this summary!”
She handed the text in her hand to Alleria and said.
Alleria put down the text in her hand and took the summary report handed over by Sylvanas. After reading it for a while, Alleria's face turned ashen.
"These humans are too greedy! Do they think that if they don't fight the trolls, the trolls will let them go? We have taught them magic and helped them establish Dalaran, what else do they want?"
Lelia threw down the report angrily and said.
She had participated in the Troll War, and she probably knew what that war was about.
"It's nothing. We in Quel'Thalas think we don't owe humans anything, but humans are different. They always think that we owe them a lot. This invitation letter is actually not an invitation letter, but a debt collection bill."
Sylvanas sneered: "They believe that this is the time for us to repay our debt. Only we high elves still foolishly think that this is an obligation based on the friendly alliance with humans."
"We don't owe humans anything!" Alleria said angrily.
"Of course we don't owe them anything!" Sylvanas sneered: "More than 90% of the people in the country think so, but on the other hand, more than 90% of the human population thinks that the elves owe them humans. So I
To join the negotiating team, I want humans to understand that Quel'Thalas owes humans nothing. Don't they want us to teach them magic and help build Dalaran before sending troops? They just don't know what humans can give us this time.
thing."
"What can they give us? Is there anything in this world that can be comparable to magic?" Alleria sneered: "What else do they have besides a large population?"
"That's what they should be thinking about!" Sylvanas said, staring at her slender fingers.
"Don't look at your fingers all the time, they are already beautiful enough! Speak carefully! What do you want to do?" Aurelia asked.
"What else can we do? Of course we have to learn from them. We helped them build the magic city of Dalaran and taught them how to use magic before they would send troops. How can we not learn from them? Otherwise, we will never pay the debt in the future.
It’s not over.” Sylvanas smiled.
"What do you want?" Alleria asked, "What is the equivalent of magic?"
"Of course there is nothing equivalent to magic! But this is what we think. Maybe humans think it is enough without using anything! Those old stubborns in the Silver Moon Council still don't know that humans are here to collect debts this time.
Come on! Maybe they are still arguing about whether we should send troops for the sake of the alliance!"
Sylvanas sneered and said: "I don't care. Humanity has to pay something for sending troops. What is expensive? It seems that they only have big ships that are more expensive. Let's just make up the number! How much should we collect? I have to think about this carefully.
.”
"Why do you need so many big ships?" Alleria said with a frown.
"If that doesn't work, just give it to the fishermen to catch fish! Oops! There are a lot more wild animals recently. Bobcats, bears, wolves, and wild boars all need to eat meat. Let's catch more fish!" Silva
Nas still looked at her fingers and said with a sneer.
"How many ships do you want?" Alleria was dissatisfied with Sylvanas always looking at his fingers and said, "Stop looking at so many!"
"I don't know, the more the better! But will they give me as much as I want? They are here to urge us to pay off our debts, so it is possible that they won't pay us. Besides, who knows what those old guys in Silver Moon City will do
I think, maybe I’ll pat my head and agree to send troops generously!”
Sylvanas smiled and said: "They still think that they send troops to help humans for the sake of the alliance, and humans will burst into tears of gratitude. How could they have thought that humans would say in their hearts that the debt has not been repaid!"
Alleria thought about it, and the parliament was currently divided into two opinions. Those who were not in favor of sending troops believed that both sides of the last covenant had fulfilled their obligations, and the so-called covenant had no effect. Because that so-called covenant was more like a temporary agreement.
In the transaction, the elves and humans each get what they need. Now that the transaction has been completed, the covenant has naturally expired.
The reason for those who agree to send troops is naturally that humans have helped the elves. Morally speaking, the elves should send troops. However, the Arathor Empire, which signed the alliance back then, has split. As the successor of the orthodox Arathor Empire, the Arathi Kingdom, at this time
However, no invitation letter was sent out. This resulted in a much smaller number of supporters of the side that agreed to send troops.
What's even more fatal is that Lothar, the legal heir to the royal family of the Arathor Empire, is now serving as the marshal of the Kingdom of Stormwind. This adds fuel to the fire, because the high elves also need a sufficient reason to send troops, one that can convince the domestic people.
reason!
Without the recognition and support of the domestic people, it is unthinkable to forcefully send troops. Not to mention how much pressure from public opinion the king and parliament, as decision-makers, will face, the morale problem of the soldiers sent out is a big trouble.
The only legitimate reason for the supporters to ask Quel'Thalas to send troops is to receive Lothar's request to Quel'Thalas in the name of the Royal Family of the Arathor Empire and in the name of the Kingdom of Arathi, the orthodox successor of the Arathor Empire.
Only a letter will do.
However, none of them have achieved these two goals, so they have been asking the Windrunner family to support them. However, the Windrunner family has not yet given a clear answer.
"Okay, I'll find a way to get you into the negotiation team!" Aurelia said: "Keep these things with me for now. I have to show them to the old fools in the parliament."
"When are you going?" Sylvanas asked.
"Don't worry, I'll send these investigation reports to Silvermoon City first to see the reaction of those old bones. Baron Blood Eagle is right. Quel'Thalas is not just for the king and the council, we are
We can't let them sell Quel'Thalas without knowing it."
Alleria said: "Make dozens of copies of this summary report and distribute it to various ranger regiments. In addition, send a few copies to the media organizations in Silver City and the Catherine Magic Academy on Sunchast Island, and share your thoughts with them.
Write it down, it will probably take a while. Those old fools should think about what to do instead of arguing in the parliament all day long."
"Oh, so you're not pressed for time." Sylvanas smiled.
"Humans are the ones who should be nervous. Why should we in Quel'Thalas be nervous?" Alleria said.
