Chapter 1270: Stormy Disturbance (Today there is a power outage and the internet is down, how miserable)

After killing the ancient god named C'Thun, Duanmu Huai patted his butt and returned to the Inquisition base in Tirisfal Glades.

After all, he originally went out to investigate the situation of human beings in this world. As of now, human beings still occupy a dominant position in this world, which is enough for Duanmu Huai.

As for those aliens in the tribe... Duanmu Huai doesn't have time to waste on them.

After returning to the base, Duanmu Huai gave everyone the gifts he bought from Stormwind City.

Of course, the biggest winners were Mary and Ann, but Duanmu Huai did not show favoritism and brought gifts to other girls as well, except for the rare ones like magic mounts which were simply not available.

Ann and Mary also liked the magic mounts given by Duanmu Huai very much. In fact, Duanmu Huai did not say which one he would give to which one at the beginning, but let them choose by themselves.

The result was that Ann chose the relatively gentle Qiu Yi fox, while Mary fell in love with the lively and playful Warm Day cat.

This actually surprised Duanmu Huai a little, because according to his observation, Qiuyi Fox's personality is similar to Mary's, both are quiet. And Nuanri Flannel Cat is lively and playful like An. Duanmu Huai originally thought that the pet would resemble its owner - but unexpectedly, the two chose the one with completely different personality, and these two magic pets seemed to like their owners very much.

Maybe this is what is called complementarity?

While stroking the fox, An began to report to Duanmu Huai what had happened in the Tribunal base during the time he was away.

As expected, this place attracted many forces to secretly test. Of course, adhering to the Tribunal's usual open strategy, An did not put much effort into vigilance. Basically, when someone came to investigate, she would open the door to welcome them. There were also several people like Mathias from Storm Kingdom who went to investigate and were invited in for tea and chat with a confused look on their faces.

According to An's arrangement, in addition to the Storm Kingdom that Duanmu Huai had visited before, there were also dwarves, gnomes, and a race that called themselves blood elves who had all come here to conduct investigations and even received a representative from the Church of Holy Light.

Overall...well, the situation is not optimistic.

All forces seem to have complaints about the human supremacy of the Inquisition, and even the bishop of the Holy Light Church, who is also a human, thinks that this approach is not suitable for the current world. In the final analysis, they still hope to coexist peacefully and fight against foreign enemies together...

“That’s all bullshit.”

Duanmu Huai simply threw the information in his hand aside.

"Do you think we are fools? The Alliance and the Horde are so crazy, and you are talking to me about racial unity? Why don't you unite with the trolls or orcs?"

At this point, Duanmu Huai sneered. When he was in Stormwind City, he had some rough knowledge of the history of this world. He knew that several years ago, a race called orcs opened the Dark Portal and invaded Azeroth, causing great damage to the Eastern Kingdoms. Later, the human kingdoms at that time joined forces to defeat the orcs.

  However, after that, the king of Lordaeron made a decision that Duanmu Huai thought was very stupid. Instead of executing all the orc captives, he set up a number of shelter camps and took in the orcs!

Perhaps the king's original intention was to use the orcs as slaves, but in Duanmu Huai's opinion, this was no different from being mentally retarded.

In fact, many players have discussed such a contradictory topic.

  Is that why there are always powers that like to conquer foreign races and use them as slaves?

Logically, this seems to make sense. Slaves can be used and killed at will, and they can do all the dirty, tiring and dangerous work. All we have to do is lie down and count money, which is a happy and comfortable life. Slave owners or nobles can think this way, and there is no problem.

But from the perspective of the country, there is a problem.

  That is—slaves do all the dirty, tiring and hard work, so what about the poor people in the country?

There is no country without poor people. So how do the poor survive? The best way is to let them work. However, most of these people do not have any extraordinary wisdom or cultural knowledge. If you want them to work, then they should do the dirty and hard work that does not require any skills or culture.

But if slaves were to do all these things, then the poor would be out of work and would starve to death, wouldn't they?

The question is, are they willing to starve to death?

  Indeed, slaves may eat less than poor people, do not need any wages, die when they die, and have no human rights. But the problem is that from the perspective of national stability, this practice of giving to friendly countries rather than domestic slaves, isn't it forcing the poor to rebel?

Is it worthwhile to sacrifice the entire country just to save a few dollars?

The same is true for the orc internment camp opened by Lordaeron. In Duanmu Huai's view, these orc captives are not assets, but burdens. Facts have proved that Lordaeron eventually played itself to death. The original largest human country has now become a happy scene of dancing in the graves of the dead. A large part of the reason is this.

Similar situations have occurred in history before, the most famous of which was Bai Qi's massacre of 400,000 surrendered soldiers.

  Why do this? The reason is simple: Qin can’t afford it!

As for releasing it? Of course, we can't release it. If we release it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

But they couldn't afford to raise them, so what could they do? They could only kill them all.

In Duanmu Huai's opinion, what Lordaeron lacks is Bai Qi.

If we had killed all the orcs, we wouldn't have all these troubles now. What was the result? You set up an orc internment camp, and in the end, you created a tribe! The Alliance and the Horde have been going back and forth for so many years, and the number of deaths is probably no less than when the orcs invaded Azeroth.

It once again proves that if you don't uproot the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze is really a famous saying.

If it were the Inquisition, they would definitely kill all these orcs, and even attack through the Dark Portal to completely exterminate them! To prevent future troubles!

A momentary show of kindness will only bring long-term pain and disaster. Look, isn’t this a ready-made example?

If Bai Qi had not killed those 400,000 surrendered soldiers, Qin might not have been able to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world.

Instead of killing the orcs, Lordaeron built a shelter for them. As a result, they are now in ruins, with the undead dancing on their graves every day.

Duanmu Huai also told An about the King Varian of Stormwind Kingdom whom he had met. Basically, Duanmu Huai didn't think much of Varian, and to be honest, Duanmu Huai was somewhat pessimistic about the current situation of humans on this planet. He originally planned to support human forces to rise to power, but the problem was that Varian didn't seem to be a very ambitious person.

This is very... a headache.

People like Palpatine or Count Dooku are easier to deal with. The Inquisition is not afraid of you being unprincipled, but is afraid of you being too principled.

"Miss An."

Just when Duanmu Huai was complaining to An Da, Mary walked in with her big orange cat.

"The Kingdom of Stormwind has sent a division to contact us." "Oh? Why are they sending them?"

Before An could speak, Duanmu Huai asked curiously.

"You don't want to build an embassy here, do you? I won't do that."

"They hope to reach a deal with the Inquisition to purchase one hundred logging mechas."

"Mecha for logging?"

Ann was confused when she heard Mary's retelling.

"Does the Inquisition have this thing?"

"of course."

Duanmu Huai just chuckled.

"How do you think you bought your pets? I don't have the currency of this world."

"Uh...Mr. Knight, you are too..."

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, An was speechless. Finally, he sighed helplessly and stood up.

"Okay, okay, for the sake of the gift, I'll go negotiate with them... I can sell it, right?"

"You can sell it, but we don't want money. You can do it yourself."

The currency of Azeroth is of no value to the Inquisition. If Duanmu Huai wanted to, he could use the Inquisition's technology to create Azeroth gold coins that are indistinguishable from the real thing in minutes, which would be enough to cause the inflation of the entire Azeroth continent to increase by a hundred times.

So Duanmu Huai wants more local specialties. As for what kind of specialties...you can decide for yourselves. I won’t get involved.

The Inquisition here began to further cooperate with the Stormwind Kingdom, while in Silithus, some people were busy dealing with the mess left by Duanmu Huai.

“What on earth is going on…?”

Standing on the edge of the big pit, the night elves looked at each other in bewilderment. Above Silithus was the night elves' Feathermoon Fortress. After discovering the abnormality in Silithus, Shandris Feathermoon, the general of the night elf sentinel unit stationed in Feathermoon Fortress, personally led his soldiers to Silithus as quickly as possible for support.

Shandris Yuyue had participated in the Battle of Quicksands and knew a lot about the Qiraji and the ancient gods behind them. In fact, at the beginning, she thought that the Qiraji had found a way to lift the seal of the Scarab Wall and had unlocked the seal in advance, which had become fragile due to time.

The result... Well, there is almost nothing left here.

The night elves searched Silithus, but found no useful clues except for a few bronze dragons that were half dead from falling.

"Doesn't anyone know what's going on here?"

Shandris Feathermoon stared at the garrison troops of Cenarion Hold in front of her, who dared not even breathe under her sharp gaze.

At this moment, a night elf soldier suddenly stood up.

"I, I think I can guess some."

"Guess?"

"Yes."

Facing Shandris Yuyue's eyes, the soldier became very nervous and swallowed.

"When I was in the Eastern Kingdoms, I learned that the Forsaken had been annihilated..."

"so what?"

Shandris Feathermoon was somewhat disappointed to hear this answer. The extermination of the Forsaken was a big deal, and even the isolated night elves had heard about it.

"I heard that when the Forsaken were destroyed, dozens of pillars of fire appeared in the sky..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Shandris Yuyue's expression changed slightly.

"You mean to say that the force that destroyed the Forsaken is the same one that destroyed the Zerg in Ahn'Qiraj?"

"I, this is what I think......"

"…………………"

After hearing the soldier's answer, Shandris fell silent. She stared at the big pit in front of her and thought for a moment, then turned around.

"I'm going to report this to my superiors. Perhaps we need to go to the Eastern Kingdom."
