Rise of the blood elves

185【Attendees’ withdrawal and helplessness】

Under the leadership of the three commanders of the Silver Hand, the first few topics of the meeting were consultations on the number of subsequent troops sent by each tribe and the transportation of logistics materials.

Because compared to the coalition formally established in Dalaran, the so-called "coalition" at this time is actually no different in name only. It is more like a loose alliance composed of troops from various races after the Battle of Dalaran. It does not want to be a real coalition. In that way, a Supreme Military Council was established for joint decision-making by leaders of all ethnic groups, and there was no unified command and deployment. It was difficult to reach an agreement on many issues in the first place, which was a waste of time.

Logistics supply is not a big problem. The most critical difficulty lies in the subsequent dispatch of troops.After all, the losses in that battle during the day were too heavy for all races.Especially the remnants of Lordaeron who have no roots, and the Wildhammer dwarves who are not large in size.

It is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect the remnants of Lordaeron to continue sending troops.

After a year of arduous war, the population of Lordaeron has been reduced so much that it can be said that there is no one left. Except for the [-] elite soldiers and generals now, the huge Lordaeron has millions of refugees, but it cannot squeeze out more. The troops are strong.

"We have recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers from the refugees stranded in the Arathi Highlands, but they are poorly trained and have incomplete equipment, making it difficult to send them to the battlefield in a short period of time."

The noble old man who was elected as the leader by the refugees from Lordaeron said in a deep voice.

Everyone understands that this is the case.Asking those poorly trained conscripts to go to the battlefield is almost the same as sending soldiers to the undead army.

They will only be massacred without any suspense, and then resurrected by necromancy and plague, becoming members of the Scourge, who will in turn deal with the coalition themselves.

Sarlacc Eagle Axe said briefly: "Eyrie Nest Mountain can only send an additional three hundred gryphon cavalry."

It's not that these dwarves who go straight don't want to send troops, it's just that they don't have that many troops to send.

As we all know, the population of the Wildhammer dwarves is quite sparse, and everything from the selection of military griffins to the training of a qualified rider is a long-term process.In a short period of time measured in years, they were able to send an additional three hundred griffins, which was already a great effort.

While the spokespersons of various tribes were discussing this issue endlessly, Angmar had been sitting quietly in his seat, listening and secretly observing the people in the meeting.

It seems that the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Stormwind are retreating.As early as the establishment of the Dalaran Alliance, the two countries did not show a strong willingness to participate in the war because one of their armies was weak and the other was far away in the south. They only promised to provide material and military support.

Later, Dalaran was destroyed, and the defeat of the war was almost a fait accompli.If it weren't for the lobbying of Luo Ning and his wife, a pair of outstanding diplomats, they might not even be willing to send an ambassador to understand the situation.

Now that there are very few remnants of the coalition forces, they are definitely not willing to continue to send aid and help the "coalition forces" continue to make this war a failure without any doubt. Stopping losses in time is the most rational approach.

This is human nature when it comes to national and racial interests.There is even a deeper relationship, that is, Countess Katrana Prestor, the incarnation of Black Dragon Princess Onyxia, has controlled some of the great nobles of Stormwind Kingdom, and I dare not say that she dominates the politics of Stormwind Kingdom. Said, but the right to speak was so great that even the young King Varian Wrynn could not ignore it.

The black dragon princess, who is afraid of the world being in chaos, is of course happy to see the Eastern Continent being devastated by natural disasters.

I'm afraid if it hadn't been for her, the Kingdom of Stormwind would definitely have sent troops to help simply because of Lordaeron's kindness in accepting Stormwind refugees during World War II and helping them rebuild the kingdom after the war.

Angmar didn't believe that there was no shadow of her behind this matter.

Looking at the Stormwind Kingdom ambassador, Angmar had a sneer on his lips.If I am not mistaken, this ambassador should also be a member of the noble faction who was bewitched by Onyxia.While he was chatting in low voices with the entourage behind him, a young nobleman who looked like a lieutenant behind him seemed to be the one who had attended the Dalaran Summit with Grand Duke Bolvar. His expression seemed impatient.

At this point, Angmar suddenly realized that in a meeting of this level, ambassadors outside the kingdom have a lot of autonomy, and the selection is very important.It seems that Grand Duke Bolvar also compromised with Katlana.

The national politics was dominated by an evil black dragon. Even Grand Duke Bolvar, who inherited the legacy of the late king and served as regent to assist the young Varian in his administration, was bewitched by the black dragon princess. It was really sad and helpless to say that.

Angmar shook his head, basically giving up any hope that the Kingdom of Stormwind would send troops.

But without the assistance of the Kingdom of Stormwind and Kul Tiras, although this war will not be unwinnable, there will be many obstacles on the road ahead.Because the Lordaeron military, represented by the Silver Hand, plans to recruit soldiers from refugees, train them for a year and then put them into the battlefield. Without the support of huge armaments from the two countries, it is difficult to implement.

But it was the Bronzebeard Dwarf Ambassador who made Angmar couldn't help but take a second look.

The dwarf went against his usual hot temper and did not intend to speak rashly. He looked at his old acquaintance Angmar from time to time, and after looking at him, he smiled kindly at him.

This smile basically made his meaning clear and gave Angmar some confidence. He knew that the Bronzebeard Dwarf would definitely send troops.

Compared with the human nations that have the same origin and are originally related by blood, the Khaz Modan Snow Mountain Plateau where the Bronzebeard Dwarves are located is the most easily defended and difficult to attack area. It is far away from the disputes, no matter what happens outside. It looks like it has nothing to do with them.

However, during the Second War, the orcs passed by Khaz Modan and preemptively attacked Ironforge, trapping the Bronzebeard dwarves in the mountainside fortress and unable to get out, and they were dragged into the war.

The Bronzebeard Dwarves must have learned from this painful experience. They knew that the Scourge Legion's ambitions were not just limited to the northern part of the eastern continent. After destroying the northern tribes, the next plan was to go south. There was no reason why Khaz Modan, who bore the brunt of the attack, would not be spared.

Therefore, they will not give up the opportunity to isolate powerful enemies from the land.The willingness to participate in the war is undoubtedly much stronger than that of Kul Tiras overseas and the Kingdom of Stormwind in the south.

Outsiders often think of dwarves as reckless and short-term, which is a fundamental prejudice.In fact, most dwarves have a far-sighted vision than humans. The most fundamental reason is that their life span is three to four times that of humans, and it is not a problem to live for 300 years.Muradin Bronzebeard, who once served as the Bronzebeard ambassador and taught the young Alsace various martial arts, and the brother of Magni Bronzebeard, King of Khaz Modan, is a two hundred-year-old "senior" old man.

For humans, things are far away from the next generation, but for dwarves, they are things that will happen in middle age.Therefore, this point is destined to have differences in thinking patterns between the two races. The latter looks at things from a longer-term perspective than humans.

"Everyone, there are still millions of undead left in the lost land of Lordaeron. If we want to win this war, it is almost impossible with the tens of thousands of troops we have on hand. We must send more troops." Seeing that everything is about to come to nothing, Dassault, who was born in the military, stood up suddenly, with a hint of anxiety in his words, and cast a look for help at King Jean Greymane, who had been silent.

The other two Silver Hand commanders, like the noble old man, frequently looked at King Greymane of Gilneas.

Greymane had already promised to send troops to help, but outsiders didn't know it yet.If he could declare this at this time, it would definitely allow the ambassadors of the two countries to reassess the situation of the war and continue to transport supplies by sea.

But Genn Greymane was quite calm, ignoring everyone's anxious gazes, and instead looked at the blood elves exploratoryly.

Seeing this, the blood elves have already lived a long time. How can their extremely thoughtful leader not understand the truth?

Genn Greymane is waiting for the blood elves to express their stance first.The blood elves are the most powerful remaining tribes among the northern tribes. If the blood elves are unwilling to send troops, Greymane will not break his promise and will still send troops to defend Ambermere, but his cooperation with the coalition can only go so far.

"What an old fox."

Angmar laughed secretly and cursed.Then he looked at Lor'themar and the others, with a questioning look in his eyes.

At this point, the blood elves had to take the lead.If the blood elves don't express their attitude first, Gilneas will not take advantage of it, and Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Stormwind will not have any confidence in this war.

After a few short exchanges in low voices, the other people nodded affirmatively to him.Angmar took a deep breath to calm down, pondered for a moment, and then stood up.The discussion suddenly subsided, and people turned their attention to him.

Every move of the relatively powerful blood elves affects the hearts of these people.The attitude of the blood elves is really important.

In the earlier communication with the people of this tribe, everyone unanimously decided to let Angmar be the spokesperson for this summit.There is no other reason. Whether it is the experience of serving as the prince's envoy to Dalaran in the past, or the series of righteous deeds he has done to the north since then, plus the display of prowess in the battle during the day, the foreigners are more Being familiar with him makes me more convinced of him.

Taking all factors into consideration, he is more suitable to speak on behalf of the blood elves.

"Blood Elf General"

Just as he was about to speak as planned, announcing the number of blood elves to send troops, a man stood up in the corner, attracting everyone's attention.

The ambassador of Stormwind Kingdom looked around arrogantly and said
