Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1383 16. You don't even want to call me Godfather of Gilneas 【1720】

   "Speaking of who knows me best in this world, it has to be your majesty. We are worthy of being friends."

  In the prayer room of His Majesty Fao, Blake rubbed his hands, blinked and said:

   "I'm going to talk to you today about Gilneas. I believe you have heard of the situation over there, who have been in the northern border. A few days ago, Queen Mia Greymane escaped from the royal city of Gilneas alone.

   Her husband hurt her and her children were just rescued from danger by me.

   We are planning a righteous redress in that dark country, and all this needs the support of the Church.

   At least, the paladins were able to block the way to other kingdoms in Gilneas while we were desperate in Gilneas.

  You know that once the werewolf curse spreads, all wars and contradictions, all preparations and protections will become meaningless. "

   "That's why I returned from Stormwind Kingdom."

   Pope Fao nodded, his face was very worried.

   The old man drew a religious symbol on his chest. He looked at Blake and said:

"The archbishop of the Diocese of Gilneas has been missing for half a month, and none of the priests under his command have sent back any news. Only an old friar who was on a mission abroad was accidentally sheltered by Lord Godfrey, who was hiding at the border. Escaped.

   The news that the monk brought back was frightening. It is said that a dark evil **** is about to descend in Gilneas? It is said that Jean has fallen into the darkness and cannot extricate himself?

   It is said that he and his generals have begun preparations to convert all humans throughout Gilneas into werewolves? "

   "No, your message is seriously out of date, Your Majesty.

   This is why the Church needs us, the Templar Assassins. Without us, your intelligence organization is so ineffective that it makes you shake your head. "

  Black shook his head and said:

   "Genen and that **** named Lyral Blaze weren't going to do that, they're already doing it! They're already planning to start what they call a 'war of conquest'.

   Right now, in the kingdom of Gilneas, which is completely cut off from the outside world, as we talk, innocents are being forcibly cursed with werewolves every minute.

   Over the past three months, the number of werewolves throughout Gilneas has skyrocketed.

  From the city to the countryside, from the harbour to the forest, countless wolves are roaring and galloping, and even the night of the country is full of despair and madness.

  According to my calculations, two-thirds of the humans in Gilneas will become active or passive members of the wolf pack after half a month at the latest.

   And Gilneas isn't the only target of these wild wolves.

  Lordaeron, Dalaran, Stromgarde, and even Alterac, the entire northern frontier from the Arathi Highlands to the Tirisfal Glades are their coveted dark territories.

   They want to build a kingdom of darkness in the northern border of the Eastern Continent for their evil gods. I think this is a serious challenge to the Holy Light, so I came here and hope that the church can take action. "

   Having said this, the pirate raised his head and said to Fao:

   "I don't need the paladins to invade Gilneas in a big way, your army is too scattered, you can't take the initiative to attack in a short time, and even defending Silverpine Forest is very difficult.

  I just need to use your influence, Your Majesty, to make Lordaeron and Stromgarde, which border Gilneas, take care of this matter.

   What I want is to see the darkness of Gilneas bound in that land, until a new order is born after a time of chaos.

   Oh, yes, by the way, tell King Terenas, His Majesty Thoras, and His Majesty the Sun King. "

   Black let out a weird laugh, pointed to the north, and said:

   "Watch out for the werewolf marines on the fleet they are sailing on the frozen seas, and the Gilnean fleet.

  Gene is not the only one who wants to defeat me in the North Sea this time.

  To be honest, in the upcoming naval battle, I don’t think I can even send the top three strategic goals of the old wolf king.

  If the other kings don’t act quickly, I don’t know if my undead pirates will still exist after this battle, but the Alliance fleet and the Three Kingdoms navy will definitely belong to Gilneas.

   If all goes well, and if Lylar Flamingo has enough control over the werewolves, then after Genn conquered the land of the northern border, he will also have a very luxurious configuration of 'sea wolves'.

  Tsk tsk, this is the ruthless mind and werewolf wisdom that the old wolf should have. This old guy, Jean, can always inadvertently give us all kinds of cruelty.

   To be honest, I'm starting to like him a little bit.

   Now I apologize for my humiliating behavior in the past, and I don’t know if it’s too late to form an alliance with him. "

   "Don't say these crazy things! The Holy Light is watching you."

  Fao scolded Black, but the news that Black brought back really made people feel very bad, and even the prophet who came to Azeroth for the first time felt the bad problem from the description of the smelly pirate.

   But he is not very familiar with the northern border, so he can only listen to Black's description while looking for the location of the forces that appear on the map he carries.

   When Fao was thinking, the Prophet finally figured out that Gilneas and the land of other kingdoms bordered, which made him look extremely worried.

   He stroked his perfectly manicured white beard and said to Black:

   "The model of the Werewolf Curse reminds me of the undead. There is no other meaning, it is just purely emotional, such a crisis cannot be ignored.

  Especially knowing that the werewolf curse can infect humans, maybe you should take the same action as last time and hire aliens who will not be infected for border defense? "

   "This suggestion is good!"

   Black gave the Prophet a thumbs up and said:

   "But this is out of my control. It depends on whether your majesty can persuade old Terenas and Thoras Trollbane to hire those alien warriors, and you don't even need to hire them."

  The smelly pirate played with the jug in his hand and said:

   "There are enough 'Aliens' in Lordaeron and Stromgard to fill the line"

   "Huh? Are you talking about the orc captives?"

   The Pope, who was thinking about it, suddenly reacted to the meaning of Blake, and he frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Blake's behavior that did not take human life as his life.

   But think about it, the outrageous suggestion of pirates is actually not without feasibility.

   Anyway, keeping the green-skinned orcs in the shelters of various countries is a waste of money and food. After confirming that the orcs will not rearm, it is not a matter of natural wrath to drive them to the border to defend against the werewolf who may invade.

   Moreover, although Old Man Shengguang didn’t like it, but he had a very high political literacy to guess, he was basically certain that as long as he wanted Terenas and Solas to make this suggestion, the two old kings would definitely agree.

   They don't have any favors for orcs, just as they don't favor werewolves either. No matter who dies, the kings won't be distressed enough to shed a single tear.

   But it was precisely because of Fao's superb political sense that he suddenly realized a very important thing that the stinky pirates did not state clearly.

   The old man of Shengguang narrowed his eyes, glanced at Black, and said:

   "What about the future of Gilneas?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

  Blake pretended to be silly and asked.

   His Majesty Faao shook his head, and he said bluntly:

   "You said that you accepted Queen Mia's request to start a campaign to bring things right in Gilneas. I have always been confident in your destructive power, and you have a good chance of participating in such a high-profile operation.

   So, after the victory? Black, what are you going to do with Gilneas? Like you arranged for Alterac? "

   "Huh huh!"

  The pirate was really surprised.

   He blinked his eyes and looked at His Majesty Faao, and said in surprise:

   "How do you know that I have my own arrangements in Alterac? Although Oridon is a bit of a waste, he has been losing ground in the political battle with the Barov family, but I have confidence in his ability to keep secrets.

   Logically speaking, the fact that he was manipulated by me should not be leaked so easily. Let me guess, the Barov family planned to do something in Alterac, and then they begged the Church of the Holy Light?

  Did they tell you all my arrangements? "

"more or less."

   Mr. Fao obviously does not intend to discuss too much on this issue. He really has no interest in dirty politics at all. But he didn't, and Blake was very interested.

  The pirate pursed his lips and said:

   "With the Barov family's behavior, they want to subvert Alterac's kingship and truly become the masters of that small country, and the rewards they can offer are not enough to impress the church.

  After all, the people of Alterac are sturdy and cold, and neither wealth nor power can convince the top of the church, unless the Barov family brings out what you value most.

   Do they promise you that they will help the Church of the Light spread the faith in Alterac? I guess they must have 'mortgage' the religious power of that country to the church in order to persuade your acquiescence. "

   "Why do you care so much about Alterac?"

  Her Majesty Fao was very tired of Black's questioning, he waved his hand and said:

   "I have rejected the request of the Barov family, and I have no intention of letting faith intervene in the whirlpool of politics!"

   "No! Your Majesty, you should agree."

  Black shook his head and said:

   "But instead of compromising with the great noble Barov, I heard that people in that family have some psychological problems, perhaps because of the bad habit of internal marriage for many years, their bloodlines have developed diseases.

  You may discuss this matter with His Majesty Alliden Perenold.

  I will send him a letter to let him use official means to cooperate with the spread of the Holy Light belief in the bitter cold land, and I will even give some support to help you build a church deep in the mountains.

  The Uncrowned under my command will also be responsible for keeping church members safe in Alterac! I will try my best to turn the conservative Kingdom of Alterac into the 'Earth God Kingdom' of the Holy Light in the northern border!

   in exchange.

  I want the Church of the Holy Light to completely withdraw from Gilneas!

   One country for another, this transaction is very reasonable, right? Your Majesty. "

"boom"

   Pope's fist slammed on the table in front of him. Blake's shamelessness completely angered the sincere believer. The whole body of the old man of Holy Light was burning with golden flames. He angrily scolded:

   "There are nearly seven million people in the southern region of Gilneas Light! Counting the frontier people in the Silverpine Forest Territory and the mountain people in the kingdom's mountains, the Holy Light has nearly 10 million people in that country.

   And Alterac has less than 1.2 million citizens!

   Blake Shaw!

  You are challenging the bottom line I can tolerate! "

   "But I don't think the Holy Light taught you to evaluate the amount of faith by the number of people, right?"

  The pirate shrugged, and before the angry crown, he said calmly:

   "And half of your so-called Gilneas people have become werewolves, and I'm not racist, but I don't think werewolves full of beasts in their hearts will obey the teachings of the Holy Light.

   About this, we can consult professionals in this field. "

   Speaking, Blake turned his head to look at the lively prophet Velen next to him, and he asked seriously:

   "You have also seen werewolves, Your Excellency the Prophet. With your knowledge of serving the Holy Light for 30,000 years, do you think such creatures can be influenced by the Holy Light?"

   "Uh, if lightcasting. It's ok."

   Velen thought about it and said:

"No matter what creature has flesh and soul, it will establish an absolute connection with the Holy Light after the light casting ceremony, but if the light casting ceremony is not considered, the werewolf, a wild and wild spirit transformed from wild and animal nature, does not belong to the Holy Light. the realm of light."

   "Look, Your Majesty!"

  Black looked at the silent Fao again and said:

   "I didn't buy the bargaining chip of His Excellency the Prophet. You have heard what he said. Even without my intervention, the Church of the Holy Light would lose its believers in Gilneas sooner or later.

   That's it.

   I am not asking those Gilneans who are still human to give up their faith in the Light.

   But don't interfere with the beliefs of the werewolves. To be honest, with the irritable characters of the werewolves, once there is a conflict in beliefs, it is easy to lead to quite terrible results.

I will help Queen Mia to establish a druid sect that belongs to werewolves alone, and help her to better manage werewolves, but if the Holy Light is really declining in that dark place, I also hope you can accept this result rationally .

   I know these words are too much for a sincere believer.

   But Your Majesty, you should understand that the Holy Light is not the only truth in this world! You should bless the children who are destined to escape from the embrace of the Light and run into wild nature, not forcibly keep them in your hands.

   In the end, when you calm down, you will find that what I am doing is essentially the same as what you are doing.

   We all want the civilization that gave us to get better, not worse. "

   Speaking, the pirate pushed Blake and the box containing the Naru fragments to Fao. He looked at the Pope who gradually calmed down and said in a low voice:

   "So, Your Majesty, shall we make a deal?"
