War Hymn of Warcraft [WOW]: Chapter 36 summit
Three months later, Stormwind Keep...
"It's so annoying! Valian gave me so many official duties while I was in a good mood recently, I want to strike!" Zhan Zhixing looked at the mountains of documents in front of him, and ruthlessly pulled his hair, "Isn't it just in the outer domain? I've been leisurely for two months, why would he treat me like this..."
"Don't worry, brother Zhan," Tylan Fording joked to Zhan Zhixing while handing over the documents after the initial trial to Reginald, "You have been free for two months anyway, but we have been busy in a row It's been three months."
Reginald Yefu sang and followed suit: "Yes, there are a lot of things on the expeditionary force side, and His Majesty is also responsible for coordinating the division of labor between the various races in the alliance and the agreement with the tribes. These military affairs can only It falls on us marshals and generals."
"When Varian gave me the rank of general at the time, didn't he say that it was just a name? Name!" Although Zhan Zhixing complained, he was not idle in reviewing military affairs. After all, there is not enough manpower in Stormwind City. I didn't see that even Tailan, a paladin, had to stay in Stormwind Fortress. As the general of Stormwind City, he must do something anyway.
However, in the midst of being busy, Zhan Zhixing still remembers some previous things in his mind. Ever since Zhan Zhixing and Garrosh returned to Galadar from the Black Temple, they knew that once the Dark Portal opened, the two would be separated again—one of them is the general of Stormwind, the other is the chief of Mag'har. Not someone who can stay out of it.
After more than two months of sweet life, as expected, Garrosh and Zhan Zhixing had to separate after the Dark Portal was completely opened: Zhan Zhixing was urgently called by Varian to return to Stormwind City, And Garrosh also led an army stationed in Hellfire Peninsula, ready to meet the expeditionary force from Azeroth.
As for Outland, Illidan did as he said, silently killing the demons and blood elves that did not belong to him. Now the only ones in Outland still on the Burning Legion side are the blood elves in Netherstorm. At the same time, because Illidan led a large number of naga and the demons who took refuge in him, he had to join the alliance as a new race-the Illidari, and did not return to the night elves.
Of course, Illidan joined the alliance because of Tyrande. After all, the entire night elves are in the alliance, including the high elves who broke away from the blood elves. Even though the temperament of the demons may be more compatible with the Horde, Illidan resolutely threw himself into the arms of the Alliance.
And because of the instigation of the butterfly Zhan Zhixing, Shattrath City and Adar's Shadar Legion, which was originally biased towards neutrality, even attended the summit as a member of the alliance. This means that even if the Naru of the Shadar Legion did not choose to join the alliance in the end, he would still have a strong alliance color.
The leaders of the alliance and the tribe fought for several days, and finally determined the result of the division of the outer domain - whichever side first obtains absolute control of an area, which camp the area will belong to.
With Adar's Shadar Legion, Illidan's Illidari, and the fortresses cast by the heroes of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, the Alliance's expedition is not without difficulty. The south of the Hellfire Peninsula, including the Hellfire Peninsula Zangarmarsh, Terokkar Forest, and Shadowmoon Valley have all become alliance territory. Although the expansion of the territory is due to the increase of alliance members, it also represents the progress of the alliance as a whole.
The current alliance is actively attacking the direction of the Blade's Edge Mountain. As long as the Blade's Edge Mountain is taken down, the Netherstorm will be close at hand. However, in the progress near Blade's Edge Mountain, the Horde side can be said to be better: they sent a legendary hunter, Rexxar, the king of ogre, to participate in this expedition, and Blade's Edge Mountain is the base camp of ogre, as the cannibal The advance speed of Rexxar of the Demon King is naturally not comparable to that of the Alliance.
However, the Nagrand Grassland should be merged into the territory of the tribe, Zhan Zhixing couldn't help but think, after all, although there is Tara Town built by a group of Kureni Breakers on the Alliance side, the entire Nagrand area is still The homeland of the orcs, moreover, there is a Mag'har tribe whose strength is far greater than that of Kureni, so no matter how they say it, they will not be taken over by the Alliance.
Speaking of Mag'har, Zhan Zhixing thought of Garrosh again, and couldn't help being stunned, staring blankly at the document in his hand. Suddenly, Zhan Zhixing felt someone pat on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, Reginald looked at himself teasingly, and squeezed his eyebrows: "Hey, Zhan Zhixing, since you came back from Outland, you have Something is wrong. Could it be that...you have a sweetheart?"
"Cough, no way." Zhan Zhixing blushed slightly, and was immediately caught by Reginald.
"You still said no, you see your face is red." Since Zhan Zhixing returned to Stormwind City, whenever he seized the opportunity, Reginald would definitely throw stones at Zhan Zhixing—who told Zhan Zhixing before he left? Don't forget to have a parting kiss with Tai Lan, which has always been remembered by Reginald, a typical representative of self-inflicted crimes.
"Yeah, yeah, I have a new love in Outland, who looks like Tailan..." Rolling his eyes, Zhan Zhixing saw Tailan Fording who was snickering, and immediately dragged him along Enter the battlefield.
Since talking with Zhan Zhixing, Tailan only has the same affection as a brother for Zhan Zhixing, and Reginald has long been nourished in love. Hearing that Zhan Zhixing dragged him into the battle group, Tai Lan quickly waved his hands: "Don't drag me in with the matter of the two of you, I'm innocent."
"Zhan Zhixing, I want to duel with you!" Reginald looked at Zhan Zhixing's teasing face, and knew that he was teasing himself, so he slapped the table pretending to be angry, clamoring to fight Zhan Zhixing on the battlefield See you above.
Zhan Zhixing shrugged indifferently, and slumped himself in the armchair: "Okay, duel is duel, we will see each other in the church square."
Reginald froze in an instant. He was only a half-hero fighter, and he had no chance of winning against this guy who even had a pseudo-hero in his second job.
Looking at Tailan as if asking for help, the latter also shrugged helplessly: "Even if you add me, you can't beat Brother Zhan, anyway, he is also a heroic paladin, okay?"
Reginald burst into tears, and when he met a bad friend like Zhan Zhixing, he said that he would never love again.
"There will be a summit between the Alliance and the Horde tonight, I think you don't want to go?" Reginald quickly changed the subject, stuffing a dozen documents in his hand into Zhan Zhixing's arms, "Go back and approve the military report , otherwise, we will never even think about leaving tonight."
Thinking of staying here again all night, Zhan Zhixing couldn't help shivering: the rumors of ghosts in Stormwind Fortress have never stopped, even though there are two paladins here, he still doesn't dare to spend more time here. Stay.
Hurrying to continue to review various military newspapers, the three of them worked together and finally completed the task belonging to the three of them in the evening. After a hasty meal, Zhan Zhixing and Reginald, as high-level military officials in Stormwind, went to the Mage Tower, where they were going to find a magician to open a portal for the two of them to participate in the battle at Mount Hyjal. summit.
"Oh, I'm so sleepy, there's still a summit tonight." Zhan Zhixing yawned as he walked, he was really sleepy, "As long as Tyrande Varian and the others go, what else do we need to do?"
"It is said that in the outer domain, except for the Netherstorm where the storm fortress is located, other areas have confirmed their sovereignty. It is estimated that this summit is mainly to finalize the distribution of the outer domain, and organize a team of people to raid the storm fortress to solve the last one to build a new world in the outer domain The problems faced by the barrier." Reginald combined some of the statements he heard from Varian before, and guessed with some uncertainty, "As the main person in charge of the logistics scheduling of the alliance, I must make some reports; As for you, it is estimated that you will be sent to Storm Fortress again."
"Okay, okay, I can't be free anymore." Yawning again, Zhan Zhixing and Reginald finally found a free mage and opened the portal to Mount Hyjal for them. The two also hurried into the portal and rushed to the summit.
If the Nagrand Prairie is the center of Draenor since ancient times, then Mount Hyjal must be the core of Azeroth. Here, there is the Well of Eternity that Illidan once poured into here, the world tree Nordrassil blessed by the four guardian dragons, and the beautiful and dreamy Moonlight Grove. Of course, there was also a tragic war here: Archimonde the Defiler, one of the three giants of the Burning Legion, was defeated by the mortal race here, and disappeared from the world forever.
Even without those magnificent histories, Mount Hyjal is still an extremely beautiful place: countless elven dragons happily play here, the World Tree emits bursts of natural breath from time to time, and the Well of Eternity still exudes a faint glow under the confinement of the World Tree. The Ao Neng...
It's a pity that Zhan Zhixing and Reginald didn't have time to enjoy the scenery here. They were anxiously jumping off Mount Hyjal and heading towards Night Harbor in Moonglade.
Night Harbor is one of the largest refuges in the Kalimdor continent, and its residents are almost all druids. Therefore, it is also one of the most concentrated sources of magic in the world of Azeroth. Because they firmly believe that the druids can ensure peace here, every summit of the alliance and tribes will be held here.
After passing through the sparkling Luna Lake, the two of them soon arrived at Yongye Port. The owner of Moonglade, Remnos, the son of Cenarius, is watching quietly in front of the door. Seeing the arrival of Zhan Zhixing and Reginald, Remnos said gently:
"Welcome to Yongye Port, representatives of human beings. This summit will still be held at the old place, so you can go there directly. I also want to welcome some friends who are attending the summit for the first time."
In every summit, Remulos will wait here until the last person to attend the summit arrives in order to show respect. But this time, according to what he said, his task became to guide the people who participated in the summit for the first time to the venue of the summit. Reginald and Zhan Zhixing glanced at each other, and they immediately understood his intention: probably to welcome Naaru and Illidan who had just merged into the alliance.
However, when he arrived at the location of the summit, the sharp-eyed Zhan Zhixing saw Khadgar representing A'dal, and Illidan leaning against a wall. Due to the previous trip to the Dark Temple, Zhan Zhixing and Illidan were relatively close, so he ran to him directly and asked quietly:
"How did you and Adal find this place? Since it wasn't the two of you, who is Remnos waiting for?"
"Don't forget that I participated in the summit with A'dal before, when the Portal of Darkness just opened." Illidan stretched out his hand and yawned, and then blinked mischievously, "Guess who will come back here?" ? You'll know later, don't worry."
Seeing that Illidan refused to say anything, Zhan Zhixing had no choice but to go back to Varian and ask him for information. However, Varian also looked at Zhan Zhixing with a mysterious face, shook his head and sighed:
"It's really right to send you to the outer domain. I really can't tell you who will come in a while. You will know later."
They all started playing the game of secrecy when they had nothing to do. Zhan Zhixing gritted his teeth with hatred, but he also felt helpless for this group of people. He retreated behind Varian and quietly waited for the arrival of other members who participated in the summit.
Gradually, there are more people around. High elves, Forsaken, Orcs, Tauren, Blood Elves, Trolls... The representatives seem to be divided into two distinct factions based on factions: Jaina and Tyrande as the main body, Varian, King of Stormwind, Great dwarf craftsman Gelbin Mekkatorque, Dark Iron Dwarf King Magni Bronzebeard, Theramore Queen Jaina Proudmoore, Alliance High Elf leader Vereesa Windrunner, Draenei The Prophet Velen, Illidan the Lord of the Illidari, and Khadgar representing the Shadar Legion all stood on the east side of the room. Even the representative of Dalaran, who tended to be neutral, was standing far away from the alliance side. It is also relatively close.
On the west side of the room, there are only a few people around Thrall: Vol'jin, leader of the Darkspear troll, Lor'themar, regent of the blood elves, Kyle Bloodhoof, chief of the tauren, Sylvanas Windrunner, queen of the undead, even the general The ogre leader is counted, and the Horde has far fewer people than the Alliance. I'm afraid this is not a good thing. Didn't you see that Jaina and Tyrande were frowning all the time?
Even Thrall's expression is not so good-looking. The Azeroth expedition to Outland, to put it bluntly, is just a hunting competition, and whoever wins is the king. Originally, the tribe was established for a relatively short period of time, and there was no way to compete with the alliance's thousands-year-old foundation. This butterfly fanned Shadar's naaru army to the alliance. I'm afraid it was a disaster rather than a blessing.
Just as Zhan Zhixing thought about it, Remnos walked in. He looked around at everyone around him, and introduced the figure behind him into the hall:
"Next, welcome to the new members of this summit..."
The author has something to say: Guess who this person is?
