Menethil's Power

529 King to King

The door opened with a creaking sound. The interior of the hall of power of this new tribe has always been in the simple and extensive style of the orcs, without too many decorations. The crimson flame burns in the brazier, illuminating the darkness.

A figure who was not stalwart walked in, just seeing his white skin, the Kor'Kron guards in the hall couldn't help but hold the handle of their weapon, but they couldn't do anything, the chief had already issued an order Let them have to exercise restraint.

Thrall was sitting on the throne of the clan, trying to keep his waist still. The poison that had not subsided made him a little haggard, but he was still full of energy. He looked at the human beings who came in with calm eyes, and the faces of the other people were unforgettable to him. , After all, it can be said that this young man created the current Great Chief Thrall.

Thrall felt a little indescribable about his senses, hated it?No, although this human prince declared him his "slave", he never deliberately insulted him, and of course Thrall didn't feel any warmth from him.

The young chief took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Logically speaking, he should be grateful. After all, as a hostile race, the other party brought up the orc orphan who had no father or mother. What purpose, Thrall did not die because of him after all.

So even if the other party broke into Orgrimmar unreasonably, Thrall still let him enter the chief's hall to have this conversation in the name of peace, but it didn't start in a peaceful mode at all.

Isaacs is not in a hurry, he seems to be able to feel the change in Thrall's heart.Behind the human prince, Drek'Thar and Lunara came in one after another. The dryad looked around indifferently, looking like a curious baby, while the old orc shaman looked solemn.

He had heard Thrall describe his early experiences in detail, and he knew that such a meeting was bound to happen. The two parties had an extraordinary relationship, and at the same time represented the Alliance and the Horde.

A new generation of Alliance and Horde.

Isaacs looked at Thrall, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The chief of the tribe in this timeline not only appeared normally, but also seemed to be doing better than before.

Obviously, this is all due to him. He taught a better son of the tribe, able to awaken the fighting spirit of the orcs, and at the same time won the recognition and loyalty of almost all the elders of the tribe. He united the Tauren and the Darkspear troll , and even got the Bilgewater Plutocrat to join early, these are not easy tasks, and Thrall has used what he has learned very well.

"Teresa will be happy to see that you are so good." Isaacs's first sentence did not tease, did not threaten, nor was it a proper diplomatic rhetoric. maid.

This was obviously the right choice, and a crack was opened in Thrall's calm and calm shell immediately, "Teresa...how is she now?"

The warchief's throat seemed a little dry.

In both the altered and unaltered timelines, that kind girl played a vital role in Thrall's upbringing.

"She is by my mother's side now, and she is already a senior lady in the Lordaeron palace." Isaacs replied.

Isaacs is very clear that the reason why he did not get the treatment that Blackmoore received in the original timeline was not just the kindness of "bringing up" by Thrall, but more because of Teresa. Compared with the kind girl who took her as a mistress and finally killed her cruelly, Isaacs looked like an angel.

As long as Teresa is around, Isaacs has an invisible chain that binds Thrall.

Back then, Isaacs had a shallow understanding of the timeline, and he wanted to copy Sal's growth process, so he took Teresa as his maid, but he was not a villain after all. All kinds of other energy-intensive things stopped, and after more than ten years, the crying little girl grew into a beautiful and slim girl.

Isaacs is not in the palace for at least ten months a year, so it is a bit wasteful to have a personal maid. It stands to reason that court maids of Teresa's age can marry by themselves, but as Prince Lordan's personal maid and tribal leader It is obviously impossible for a special person like the chief "Sister Yi" to enjoy this right.So Isaacs sent her to his mother, just as Teresa didn't like fighting, so she could follow Queen Leanne to believe in the Church of the Holy Light.

Religion can be very effective, at least in terms of calming the mind.

Hearing the news of the person he cared about, Sal didn't seem to be overjoyed, "Is she your wife now, or a plaything?" He asked suddenly.

Isaacs was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a meaningful expression, "I can tell you some good news, no, she has nothing special to do with me."

This is the truth. Although the title of personal maid is easy to associate with certain aspects, it does not mean that the maid will definitely have a relationship with the master. Teresa does not have any special talent. Naturally, it was incomparable to Christaza, Kalia, and Valeera. Considering Isaacs' upbringing taste, this kind of petite jade was really not his style.

But obviously, Sal still misses that sister. What kind of feelings does he have for her?Family?love?Or maybe both?
It's a pity that in the original timeline, because Teresa was killed by Blackmoore prematurely, all this is unknown.

Blackmoore is considered a heroic figure. The reason he adopted Thrall was to let him control the orc army for him, but because of meeting Isaacs, this plan that was destined to be impossible to succeed was directly aborted early.

Isaacs forcibly bought Thrall and Teresa's family, and Blackmoore, who was eager to seek some benefits from Lordaeron, was sent to a medium-sized city as a sheriff. They disappeared—although the Cult of the Damned could only cause chaos in North Gilneas and Stromgarde, the city Blackmoore was in charge of happened to be on the edge of Silverpine Forest, and the not-so-tall city walls did not stop the wave of undead.

What's interesting is that it was the only city in Lordaeron that fell in the plague and all senior officials died.

Thrall lost his composure, and Isaacs successfully used Teresa to gain the upper hand in this negotiation. If this trend continues, he will always firmly hold the initiative.

The young warchief had also realized this, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his blue-gray eyes became clear.

He knew that his side was in a weak position, whether it was himself against Isaacs or the Horde against the Alliance of Lordaeron, not to mention that the other party came with the Dryad, which meant that the Alliance and the Kaldorei who had just clashed with the Horde There is also a certain relationship.

So he must remain calm and rational, and not be led by the nose by the other party.

He is no longer the half-big orc boy who was thrown into the arena and was at a loss. He has his own beliefs and knows what he should do.

"The past is dusty, and we shouldn't just talk about what happened in the past now." He said, not only affirming to Isaacs but also persuading himself not to be affected by the memories of the past, "I am the great chief of the tribe now, Ai Your Highness Prince Sax, what exactly is the 'peace' you bring?"

"A way for the Alliance and the Horde to coexist peacefully." Isaacs replied lightly.

"Forgive me." Drek'Thar said. The old orc shaman had been listening in until now, and he didn't express his opinion until now. "Is it really possible to coexist peacefully? I thought the hatred between the Horde and the Alliance had already to the point where it cannot be resolved.”

"The fundamental reason is the war more than ten years ago." Isaacs did not deny it, "But in essence, the orcs were just used by the demons. The Alliance and the Horde are actually fighting for their own survival. There is nothing wrong with either side in this respect.”

Drek'Thar was moved, he didn't expect Isaacs to be so "objective".Thrall, on the other hand, remained calm, knowing that his accurate understanding of the relationship between the Alliance and the Horde was instilled in him by Isaacs.

Lunara stood aside obediently, knowing that she couldn't get in the way at this time, she just stared at Isaacs' face.

The human prince has no time to take care of her at this time, "However, the orcs have indeed caused serious damage to the human kingdoms. This kind of crime can only be repaid even if you are forced to work hard for ten years. It stands to reason that Lordaeron should send a fleet Attack Durotar directly."

There was silence in the hall, both Thrall and Drek'Thar remained silent.

Isaacs glanced at them before continuing unhurriedly: "But," he cleared his throat, "since all the orcs in the shelter have been liberated and have established a new home in Kalimdor, in line with Thanks to the benevolence and forgiveness of the Holy Light, Lordaeron decided not to exterminate the orcs, after all, the purpose of establishing the shelter was to prevent large-scale massacres."

"A high-sounding statement, the consistent style of human beings." Thrall didn't speak, but Drek'Thar said sarcastically, "How should we believe you?"

"Because there is no need for internal fighting to consume the power of this world." Isaacs said coldly: "The number of enemies this world faces is beyond imagination, and the orcs have been in Azeroth for more than ten years. And formally settle down, then you must bear the corresponding obligations and responsibilities.”

"If the world is in danger, the tribe will definitely send enough forces to protect her." Thrall said without thinking.

"But that's not enough. What I need is more than an empty confession." Isaacs said bluntly, narrowing his eyes. "What I really need is the integration of Azeroth."

"Azeroth integration?" This is a new vocabulary for Drek'Thar, and Thrall is also a little puzzled. He has not seen this word in the textbook Isaacs wrote for him. .

The so-called integration naturally includes politics, military and economy, but politics should be impossible, so there are only two aspects left.

"Two requirements." Isaacs stretched out two slender fingers, "First, when facing enemies that threaten the world, the tribe must send at least half of its troops to cooperate with the alliance to fight. Second, the tribe must fully open trade , no tariffs, circulation and use of gold coins minted by Lordaeron, and allows investors to build factories in tribal territories such as Durotar, Mulgore, and the Barrens."

Both Thrall and Drek'Thar were taken aback.

Drek'Thar felt a little puzzled. Compared with Isaacs' aggressive attitude, his attitude was not very harsh. The old shaman originally thought that he would be asked to cede land for compensation, or even be asked to submit directly, but Isaacs The request made him somewhat unexpected.On the other side, Thrall had already stood up directly from the clan throne, "This is absolutely impossible!" He said firmly.
