"Your Highness, what do you think of orcs?"

Angmar walked to the wall where the world map hung.

This slightly yellowed map is very accurate. Don’t underestimate a magical civilization that has been glorious for nearly seven thousand years. The blood elves know Kalimdor far better than other races in the Eastern Kingdom. After all, before the eastward journey, the blood elves

The ancestors of the elves have lived on that land for three thousand years.

Kael'thas put down his quill and raised his head with interest, waiting for Angmar's next words.

Angmar said: "Bloodthirsty, savage and violent... Everyone looks at those green-skinned monsters this way."

"But in fact, if they had not been enslaved by the Burning Legion, the orcs would not have launched this war against the Eastern Continent. Although from a certain perspective, the orcs are also victims of the war, but who cares about this? Number one or two

During this war, countless innocent people were massacred by the orcs, and the blood feud between the tribes of the Eastern Continent and the orcs cannot be washed away even by the water of the Endless Sea."

Angmar spoke eloquently.

Since Orgrim defeated Blackhand, exposed the Shadow Council's conspiracy, and took power as the orc warchief, the meaning of this war has changed for the orcs. They are no longer slaves to the devil, but to fight for themselves.

A land of survival to replace the destroyed homeland.

Before Orgrim came to power, the Horde launched several attacks on the Kingdom of Stormwind, pushing both sides into a deadly situation, making peaceful coexistence impossible. This man possesses military talents rarely seen in the world, and he knows that not only humans are

With the obstacles on the road ahead for the orcs, all the tribes in the Eastern Continent are bound to unite to fight against the menacing orcs. As for the protracted war, the orcs who have no foundation in Azeroth will definitely not be able to defeat the indigenous groups that have been operating for many years. If they want to win this battle

In war, we must take advantage of the war machines of various tribes to start operating and completely crush them with the force of thunder.

It only took him a very short time to destroy the Kingdom of Storm, ending the first war, and then quickly sent his troops north to kick off the second war, killing all the tribes in the Eastern Continent until they lost their armor.

Orgrim divided his forces and besieged Khaz Modan, trapping the dwarves in Ironforge and unable to escape, eliminating the possibility of the dwarves sending troops to rescue humans. The dwarves in Gnomeregan not far away were not spared either, and were also killed and wounded.

The result was disastrous. Then he pretended to attack Quel'Thalas, but in fact he pretended to attack east and west. When the Alliance army was exhausted, he personally led his army to besiege the King's City of Lordaeron, the alliance's military and political center.

Unfortunately, Gul'dan betrayed the Horde at a critical moment and took half of his elite troops with him.

With his troops greatly reduced, Orgrim was unable to reverse the decline even though he devised endless schemes. Not only did he fail to capture the Royal City of Lordaeron, but the orcs also failed to recover, retreating steadily, and were finally defeated by the Alliance army in the Battle of Blackrock Tower.

The whole clan became prisoners of the subordinates...

Orgrim is the myth of the orcs. Although he was defeated, he was honored. But these two wars also caused the various tribes to form a bloody feud with the orcs.

Angmar reached out and pointed at the location of the Barrens on the map.

"The Tauren envoy once told me that his tribe is migrating to the Mogore Grassland with the help of the orcs. He also said that the trolls of the Darkspear tribe have joined the orc tribe..."

"It is said that the orcs have not yet established a homeland. They are in urgent need of settling down, but due to lack of supplies, they do not have the conditions to move inland and choose the best place to live, so they can only choose a nearby place."

Angmar drew a large circle around the Barrens with his finger.

"With the Barrens as the center, Ashenvale to the north is occupied by the night elves, the Stonetalon Mountains to the northwest are rugged and uninhabitable, and the Thousand Needles and Tanaris Desert to the south are not to mention, and they will be attacked by quilboars along the way.

...Only here," his finger rested on the coastal land in the northeast of the Barrens, which has not yet been officially named Durotar, "the rich fishery resources can meet the primary food needs, and it is far away from the harassment of centaurs. It is the orcs'

The land most likely to be settled. But everything is good here, except that there is no wood necessary for construction."

He pointed to the Valley of Ashen.

"Only the Ashenvale region can meet the huge demand for wood for large-scale construction. But the night elves, who regard the forest as life, will definitely not allow the orcs to cut down the land. Will the orcs give up the construction of the settlement because of this? No. A battle for supplies.

It's very likely that this will break out."

He then drew a line along the eastern coastline of Kalimdor.

"Let's not mention the orcs for now. Judging from the time, the fleet led by Princess Jaina will soon arrive at Kalimdor. They also do not have the conditions to move inland, and will most likely choose to settle in the coastal areas where there is ample food.

, and became neighbors with the orcs. After the third war, will her land be regarded by the tribes of the Eastern Continent as a bridgehead to curb the development of the orcs? After all, no one is wary of such a war-loving race."

"As for the night elves, the forest dispute is likely to trigger a war. Will they form an offensive and defensive alliance with the tribes of the Eastern Continent to jointly guard against the invasion of the orcs? Peace is extremely fragile, not to mention that the two sides are sworn in.

The Horde and the Alliance. So I think that the battle for supplies surrounding Ashenvale is likely to be the trigger that triggers this war across the two continents."

Angmar said, "If all this really happens, how will our clan deal with it?"

His words caused Kael'thas to think deeply. The prince stood up and walked to the map. He stared at the continent of Kalimdor on the map and pondered for a long time. After a while, he said: "Angmar, your vision and mind are very outstanding.

Your prediction about the situation in Kalimdor may very well come true. But..."

The prince turned around with confusion in his eyes: "What does this have to do with the Princess of Lordaeron?"

Angmar did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Your Highness, if these two camps are really formed, which one of the blood elves should join?"

"If your hypothesis is true, it is impossible for us to join the Horde. The orcs have committed numerous crimes against Quel'Thalas, and everyone hates them." Kael'thas said without thinking.

Kael'thas originally regarded the emergence of the Alliance and the Horde as a speculation, which may not come true, let alone which one he joins. The prince believed that even if he did not join the Alliance, the blood elves would never join an organization dominated by their enemies.

Tribe, there is no need to think about it at all.

But Your Highness, the blood elf who was extremely weak in the official history was forced to accept the help of the Banshee King Sylvanas and joined the tribe under the latter's recommendation. Angmar thought to himself.

Isn't this a kind of helplessness?

As a time traveler, Angmar does not hate the orcs. However, the trend of the world does not depend on personal will. He must plan ahead and prepare for his people in advance. The road to rise is far away, and he wants to have more choices when choosing his side in the future.

If there is no room for it, we must find another way.

Of course, Angmar could not tell what was about to happen to the Forsaken. Without the support of this key argument, his point of view was somewhat weak.

"Your Highness, our family's internal worries have been eliminated, and it's time to spread our influence abroad. I believe that after the third war, the world situation will be dominated by the two multi-racial interest communities of the Alliance and the Horde. We can no longer use the outdated

Concept, look at the relationship between oneself and the world. It is necessary to plan and layout in advance..."

Angmar drew a circle around the east and north continents with his finger.

"The ethnic groups living in the vast northern continent, bounded by the Sador Strait, all have a common goal: to get rid of natural disasters and regain the country. This is a natural bond that connects us. After the end of the third war, our ethnic group is likely to

To become one of the most powerful ethnic groups left here, why not use your own influence to help all ethnic groups form a powerful union? After all, the fate of all ethnic groups has been closely linked together by natural disasters.

.”

Angmar added: "The Alliance is not only a military alliance against the Scourge. Once the Alliance and Horde I mentioned really appear, the Alliance will transform into a geopolitical alliance that can compete with the two.

Your Majesty, no one can underestimate us, so I have advised you on the importance of the hundreds of thousands of Gilnean refugees, as well as Princess Calia, who has a huge influence on the remnants of Lordaeron."

After a long talk, Angmar's mouth felt dry.

Kael'thas pointed to the glass container filled with wine, motioned for him to be casual, and then said: "So in the final analysis, you want to take over this matter and help the Princess of Lordaeron..."

"Restore the country?" Kael'thas looked sharply.

Angmar nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. Helping in times of need is far more important than adding icing on the cake. The war continues to ferment. Currently, only the blood elves have the ability to help Princess Calia. No matter from which perspective, the integrated Lordaeron

The remaining people are in line with the long-term interests of our clan."

"So... we must seize this opportunity. I believe that in the near future, our clan will inevitably become the leader of the Northern Alliance."

After speaking, Angmar bowed respectfully, poured water to drink, and waited for the prince's decision.

He believed that Kael'thas would understand his intentions.

Kael'thas stared at the map unblinkingly, making it impossible to judge the slightest tendency from his expression. After a long time, he turned back and sighed: "Angmar, you can always give me

Surprise. How old are you? Twenty-three years old? Which high elf can have such far-sighted vision at your age? You convinced me. But you also know that the status difference between men and women in humans is staggering.

, women have always been regarded as men's vassals. As far as I know, Terenas has never cultivated Calia as an heir. It is true that she is well-educated and knowledgeable, but that is the limit. You accept Lordan indirectly

Lun’s hopes were placed on the wrong person.”

Angmar said firmly: "That's why I have to go, Your Highness. Opportunities don't come often, and everything depends on man-made efforts."

The prince laughed dumbly: "I really don't think much of this Caliya, but I believe you. Then you go and get in touch with her. Before you leave, you must explain your work and must return within five days. Do you understand?"

"As you command, Your Highness," Angmar bowed deeply, "Then... what about our follow-up support to Amber Mill?"

Kael'thas began to sort out government documents and said without raising his head: "I will send three squadrons of spellbreakers and twenty mid-level mages."

Angmar was overjoyed. Before he could speak, the prince continued: "Young Angmar, you are not the only one who can see the situation clearly. I have already sent people to sign an alliance with Darius. I will continue to provide assistance.

Help his people gain a foothold in Hillsbrad."

Angmar said from the bottom of his heart, "Your Highness is wise," thinking that he was indeed the Sun King. It turned out that he had already seen through the situation in the north.

"In addition, Norton Blue Sky has been transferred to the south by me. I will send someone to take care of your adoptive father. The domestic political situation is turbulent, and many families will offer you olive branches. You are still young, so don't get involved in the disputes between the old and the new factions.

Go, I will take care of everything, just do what you should do."

The prince's plain voice fell into his heart, and a wave of warmth stirred up. Angmar suddenly realized that without Kael'thas's understanding and kindness, he would not have been able to reach this point today.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave first." He bowed deeply and left.

Walking through the corridors of the ruins of the Sunwell Highlands, his mind was filled with longing for the future. How far will the blood elves who have been reborn from adversity in this life grow?

Soon his heart was filled with worries - he hoped that the prince would no longer be lost in the desire for power. The blood elves no longer had to rely on outsiders to obtain the power to save themselves.

The squadron of spellbreakers and mages were quickly assembled. Before leaving, Angmar went to the private courtyard provided by the prince to Anselon, but found that Istaria was also there.

"You did a good job, yes, that's it. Imagine the ubiquitous nature, whether it's the wind or the fragrance of flowers...do you feel the vigorous breath of life?" The night elf girl's clear voice like silver bells was far away.

spread.

Angmar stood quietly by the door and watched. Leah was doing something with a pot of flowers under the guidance of Istaria. She clasped her hands on the flowers and bit her lower lip gently.

Very serious.

After a while, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the floral fragrance in the air seemed to be stronger.

"That's amazing! You succeeded on the first try! I can't imagine that besides the night elves, there are people who can understand the way of nature!" Istaria's eyes were filled with stars, and she hugged her excitedly.

He held Leah's arm in a very affectionate manner.

Leah blushed and whispered: "Stop praising me. I have been a stupid child in my father's eyes since I was a child. You don't know how stupid I am."

"Who said that? That's not the case..."

The two girls soon started chatting with each other, from their childhood experiences to their favorite clothes to cute little pets, and they burst into sweet laughter from time to time. During this period, Istaria kept holding hands.

Holding Leah's hand.

Angmar did not disturb the two of them, and left quietly after saying goodbye to his adoptive father.

But until he walked into the portal leading to Amber Mill, he was still thinking: "Why does this Istaria... look weird?"
