Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid Chapter 318

"What exactly is going on?!"

Looking at the report brought by Li De, Greymane's face turned ashen.

He only knew that because of the conflict on the northern border, rumors were spreading in the country, but he didn't expect the problem to be so serious.

"Two days ago, we intercepted two merchant ships and found a total of 718 Gilneas smugglers, and those two ships were from Kul Tiras."

"Is this really related to Kul Tiras?"

It was also today that Daelin, who arrived in Gilneas, was in a trance after hearing what Li De said.

Because others have been in Booty Bay recently, Greymane's question to Kul Tiras was not sent to Daelin immediately, but to Daelin's wife Catherine. It was sent to Daelin in Booty Bay via Catherine.

After taking the letter in his hand, Daelin subconsciously felt that this was ridiculous. Kul Tiras itself is not short of population, so there is absolutely no reason to traffic people from Gilneas.

"Unfortunately, it is indeed related to Kul Tiras. These trafficked people, deceived by human traffickers, will be sold to the Stormsong family's shipyard and the factory on Kezan Island."

Huanhai Protector was able to detect such a vicious case, and thanks to Zandalar for his help, in the eastern waters of the Endless Sea, the influence of the Hanhai Protector is still relatively weak.

"Thank you for saving these people, Li De protects them."

Greymane said with a solemn expression, while Li De was very humble.

"You're welcome, this incident is also helping Hanhai Protect themselves. Our intelligence officers learned that the criminals were able to deceive the victims because they claimed to be able to help them immigrate to the Hanhai Protector.

If we don't care about this matter, it will greatly damage the reputation of the Protector of the Ocean. "

Li De's words made Greymane's face darker. The criminals could rely on the Vast Sea Protector to lure stowaways on board. Does this mean that the Vast Sea Protector is better than Gilneas' life in disguise?

"Please give me the list of criminals in Gilneas, and I will impose the severest punishment on them."

Greymane said through gritted teeth, and Daelin immediately expressed his stance.

"I'm going to go back to China to investigate the Stormsong family. I will never appease the criminals and give Gilneas a satisfactory answer."

This matter has little to do with Li De, but Li De hates those human traffickers and buyers to death. It is hard to imagine how smeared the reputation of Duhu Huanhai would have been if he ignored Van Cleef's report at that time?

"I plan to have our countries send a stern diplomatic note to Kezan, and let Resha give us an explanation. As for those who were rescued... The report said that their current mood is very unstable, and the current situation in Gilneas, also It is not suitable to accept these people back home.

My opinion is to take them to the Huanhai Protectorate first, do some mental building for them, and then extradite them back to Gilneas after the situation stabilizes. "

Greymane's mood at this time was extremely complicated, with both shame and anger, Daelin sighed and followed suit.

"Greymane, it is the right choice for Gilneas to stop the fighting as soon as possible. As long as the fighting is not stopped for one day, the panic of the people of Gilneas will not stop, and similar incidents may happen again."

The external pressure from various parties has made Greymane unbearable. Domestic public opinion is also deteriorating day by day. It is indeed impossible to continue to develop like this.

"I will accept Lordaeron's mediation. As for those who were rescued, I will trouble Han Haidu first."

Greymane knew very well that even if the 718 people rescued by Han Haidu were brought back to Gilneas, they wouldn't say anything good to their own country, and it was a destabilizing factor for Gilneas.

Under the internal and external difficulties, Greymane finally agreed to the mediation of Lordaeron.

The place of negotiation was Ambermere in the south of Silverpine Forest. It was here that Terenas and Greymane met the true leader of this orc: Fenris.

"Your Majesty Terenas, the orc Fenris salutes you."

Unlike the other green orcs, the brown-skinned Fenris made a good first impression on Terenas. The other party wore a thick wolf-head mask, and his burly figure made him even more heroic.

"I'm a little curious, why did Lord Fenris not add his clan when he introduced himself?"

It was not a few years ago. Terenas also had a certain understanding of the orcs. As far as he knew, the orcs all had a strong clan complex, but Fenris did not see this at all.

"The orcs should have learned from their failures. I'm glad that the Horde lost to the Alliance in the end. Orcs should need more advanced cultural transformation in Azeroth. At this time, clinging to clan-like traditions will only make us look stupid."

Fenris' words made Terenas feel comfortable all over. Such obedient orcs who are willing to accept transformation are what Terenas wants to see. Seeing that Fenris is so acquainted, Terenas even has a problem. A realistic expectation, perhaps this Fenris can be used for his own use, to fight those orcs who are unwilling to submit to the Alliance.

Saurfang stood on the sidelines and looked on with cold eyes. An idea flashed in his heart. Fenris, who had joined the Thunder King from the Frostwolf clan, was more like a wolf than everyone in the Frostwolf clan.

Fenris has all the qualities of a wolf, aggressive, cruel and cunning.

The vast majority of ordinary orcs do not understand Common, so no matter what Fenris says in front of Terenas, it will not damage his image among the orcs.

He can have one set of faces in front of the league and another set of faces internally.

Abandoning the traditional clan concept is definitely not what Fenris said in front of Terenas. His real purpose is to break the old clan and concentrate all power on him alone.

Just relying on rhetoric, he won the favor of Terenas, and the deal couldn't be more cost-effective.

Finally, with Terenas' mediation, Fenris and Greymane reached a consensus. All the orcs under Fenris promised that they would never invade the lands of the Alliance countries other than Silverpine Forest, which also acquiesced in Silverpine Forest as the actual residence of the Fenris tribe.

And the condition for Fenris to do this is that Gilneas needs to correct the cruel treatment of the old tribe's prisoners of war.

Of course, Fenris did not demand the release of prisoners of war by Gilneas or other allied countries in a whimsical way, but negotiated the following results:

The Alliance can punish the old tribe prisoners of war with hard labor, but they should not be persecuted maliciously. They hope that the old tribe prisoners of war can be given a clear sentence, with a view to releasing them one day in the future.

Fenris' words can be said to be extremely soft, but he only proposed an idea and did not ask for a clear time limit. Even Greymane could not call it an unreasonable request.

In the end, Terenas did not give a clear answer to this. He only said that this matter needs to be carefully considered and can be discussed later.

Even so, compared with the past, the orcs in the prisoner of war camps have a fundamental difference in the nature of their identities. Those orcs suddenly changed from beasts to be slaughtered to "people" recognized by the alliance.

In this way, even if those old tribe prisoners of war will never be released, the orcs outside the camp will always remember Fenris' exploits.

Just as Saurfang thought, Fenris really did one thing with the Alliance, and another thing when he returned to his own.

After the negotiation, Fenris never mentioned his humility in front of Terenas, only high-profile propaganda that the leader of the alliance agreed to release the orcs in the prisoner of war camp.

Not to mention that Terenas just agreed that this matter could be negotiated, and the release of prisoners of war was just a concept.

But even so, Fenris still praised him more than once. This was the result of the united struggle of the nine thousand orcs in Silverpine Forest, which made more and more orcs accept in their hearts to abandon the old clan concept and establish a unified racial identity.

Of course, at the end, it is always necessary to inadvertently mention that the orcs of various clans can be united without the wise leadership of the Fenris chieftain.

Fenris' tactic of shooting targets out of nothing has successfully allowed their orcs to legally live in the Silverpine Forest, and the reform of the tribe has also achieved remarkable results.

At the same time, the human trafficking case in Gilneas finally made a breakthrough, and "all" the suspects were brought to justice.

This is a case conspired by the three evil forces of Gilneas, Kul Tiras and Kezan, except that Greymane actually executed a Viscount who dared to attack his own people, the Stormsong family and the Heat The Sarawak Group is much more treacherous.

The Duke of Stormsong handed over a steward of No. 4 Shipyard, and Hot Sand handed over a personnel manager.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just the white gloves of the two parties, but these two guys are very cunning, and there is no evidence in the whole case to point directly at Duke Stormsong or Hot Sand for instructing his subordinates to do this.

At the end of the day, this matter will be left to nothing. After all, there is no way to really convict Stormsong and Hotsand. Is it possible that they can really fight?

It is said that this incident has caused Greymane to be in a very bad mood for a long time, but it is said that Stormsong and Hot Sand may not be the main reason.

Greymane is not a fool, he had long expected that the two parties would launch a scapegoat. What really made Greymane feel bad was the mastermind in Gilneas.

It's not that the viscount is also a scapegoat for a big man, but on the spot where he was executed, the viscount who was executed shouted injustice.

What was he talking about with his mouth full of nonsense: he was Greymane's scapegoat! Today, the whole country of Gilneas is engaged in the slave trade, and because he is selling his own people, he will be beheaded. As the biggest human trafficker in Gilneas, who sells Greymane of other races, who should chop off his head?

According to some rumors, Greymane's face was black and scary that day. After the viscount was executed, everyone present was asked to keep their mouths shut.

It's just that since that day, there have been new rumors in Gilneas.

After it was confirmed that Gilneas would accept the mediation, Li De did not care about Gilneas.

Even when he learned about Fenris' methods and the rumors of Gilneas, Li De just smiled.

In this magical world where evil gods and beasts are rampant, he won't be surprised what happens now. In the fifth year of the establishment of the Vast Sea Protector, he has accepted the reality that his power is exhausted.

He is not a man with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. He is destined to be unable to let every detail develop according to his wishes. What he has to do is to grow his team as much as possible, so that he can change the world with absolute power.

In the middle of the mountains in the west of Alterac, a large area of ​​land has been leveled and the foundation has been laid. In the near future, a wide factory building will be erected here, and the thick chimneys will also be belching thick smoke. .

"When the industrial zone is completed, I will send a force to protect the safety of the factory on the bright side. As for the secret threat, Duke Ravenholdt needs to do his best."

Li De and Lothar stood side by side, watching the busy workers say so, and the accompanying Ravenholdt solemnly made a promise to Li De and Lothar.

The location of the factory was chosen here for safety reasons.

Ravenholdt had mentioned to Reed that he had a manor just west of Alterac, near Hillsbrad, in the mountains middle.

Now Ravenholdt has been reused by Lothar, and Ravenholdt Manor has also become the intelligence center of Alterac. There is only a mountain away from the heavy industrial area. The elite sneak troops trained by Ravenholdt will pass through a hidden underground tunnel to guard the intelligence and security of the heavy industrial area.

"Li Deduhu, I admire the business ability of your country's Bureau of Geographical Statistics. I wonder if I have the opportunity to communicate with Director Van Cleef?"

Li De is also very interested in the idea proposed by Ravenholdt. If the top intelligence agencies can carry out joint operations, what kind of combat power will they explode?

However, the intelligence organization is also a double-edged sword. If it is not used properly, it will also cause great harm to itself.

"This matter must be arranged in the most thorough way, and a strict internal review must be done. The Faceless and the Dread Demon are the best lessons to be learned. If we are infiltrated by those enemies in the shadows, we will face the defeat of the whole line. ."

When it comes to the Dread Lord, Li De remembered that he still has one thing on his mind, and that is how to deal with the fel energy problem in Nogfogg.

After arriving in Alterac, Reed wrote a letter to Antonidas, Lothar's neighbor, by virtue of the convenient location, and then Dalaran sent a mage to Alterac.

This mage named Helkula is a student of Kel'Thuzad. He collects a drop of blood from Nogfogg's body every day and collects other relevant data.

Li De did not expect that Kel'Thuzad was not much older than himself, but he had already taught a high-level mage. Think again that Kel'Thuzad will soon become the youngest member of the Kirin Tor Council, and also possesses outstanding military and political talents...

Sure enough, Tianzongqi can't be guessed by common sense. Thinking of this, Li De can't help but slander: This guy is the one who got the script for the protagonist, right?
