Chapter 72: Alliance's Opposition

Richard said with a face full of displeasure: "Why don't you suspect the dwarves? There are more dwarves than just goblins. The only thing left in the dwarf kingdom of Khaz Modan is the Iron Fortress. Isn't it normal for a traitor to appear in other lost areas? Besides, the dwarves are most famous for their gunpowder technology. I think the dwarves that appeared under your city are completely possible to be dwarves!"

Terenas did not agree with Richard's explanation, but he did not refute it either. He just thought about something expressionlessly.

Richard cursed the damn old thing inwardly, and then said, "The accident in Alterac caused our store to suffer considerable losses. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, I need to add more armed forces to the store."

Terenas finally opened his mouth: "We need to hold a meeting to discuss this matter."

"Understandable."

After sending Richard away, Terenas opened the secret door, and Proudmoore walked out.

Terenas said, "You heard what I just said. What do you think?"

Proudmore looked at the door and said, "The dwarf's explanation is very likely, but I don't believe the Naga. I have long since slaughtered all the Naga in the waters near Kul Tiras."

"But his explanation makes sense. If the Naga were a race, your kingdom would have been retaliated day and night."

"Humph." Proudmore snorted and agreed with Terenas, "But I still don't believe him."

Terenas smiled and said, "Because your caravan business was robbed? Haha, what do you think about him wanting to increase the armaments of the store?"

Proudmore said without hesitation, "Of course I will refuse."

Terenas nodded, "That's what I thought, too. You contact Gilneas and Stromgarde, and I'll contact Dalaran and Alterac."

"What about Quel'Thalas?"

Terenas said slowly, "It's still unclear who has the greater power in Quel'Thalas now..." "

Forget about raising thieves for your own benefit. Their powerful mercenary group can repel the main force of orcs, so it is impossible for them to be unable to defeat those remaining trolls. I believe Anathritan can see this clearly."

Terenas waved his hand: "I understand what you mean. We can't give up on the elves of Quel'Thalas. I will find an opportunity to meet with Anathritan, but not now."

Proudmoore said, "Then it's up to you. I believe in your decision."

Richard, who enjoyed a few days of alone time with Selena in Lordaeron, received replies from various kingdoms. Except for Quel'Thalas, which had to pay its debts, Stormwind, which had not yet restored its country, and Alterac, which was in a state of internal chaos, the rest of the kingdoms rejected Richard's request.

Richard smiled and said, "It's interesting. Are they all united? Fina, pack your bags and return to Kozan Island immediately."

In the staff room of Kozan Island, Richard met Primatis, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

Richard asked, "Is Primathis back? Is the Sintland War over?"

Primathis nodded, "Everyone has been cleared, and the prisoners have been handed over to the Alliance. The Alliance is now selecting a site to build a concentration camp. Among those prisoners, I carefully selected a hundred people and sent them to Kozan Island. No one knows about this. Now these hundred people are undergoing 'training' under the Twilight Priest Yang Hua."

Richard praised.

Vashj asked lazily, "Master, how come you have time to go back to Kozan today?"

Richard leaned on the table and said, "Two things. The first is that during the last Kul Tiras naval battle, humans suspected that the Naga had attacked them, and Terenas questioned me on their behalf. The second thing is that my proposal to increase the store's defense force was rejected by the five nations."

Vashj's eyes became sharp, "I received the Kul Tiras naval battle. According to the report, Ms. Nazshar attacked a human ship. I will punish her for her unauthorized attack. The second thing... the five countries working together is not easy to solve openly, but we can let our people disguise as adventurers to go in and out daily, which can also play a role in increasing the armament. "

Richard said: "The more the five countries oppose, the more I want to impose it on them."

Primatis suddenly said: "I have an opinion."

Richard motioned for her to continue.

"After fighting in the Alliance for so long, I can feel that the Alliance is not united. The five nations suddenly united to oppose our proposal, but they did not boycott our shops and goods. This shows that our pace was too fast and aroused their vigilance. They do not want us to increase our power again. It is not advisable to increase power by an inch. If you force it, you will show your tiger and wolf nature. By then, what the five nations can do is not as simple as opposition. After all, we are just a nomadic merchant group and mercenary association. In addition, Quel'Daras should also be vigilant. A suspected attack by the Naga can alert them. We have more mercenaries in Quel'Thalas than their regular army. It is difficult not to produce "

Vashj took over and said, "Quel'Thalas now has four mercenary regiments, some of which can be withdrawn. There are almost no enemies now, and the experience has been earned. It will also be beneficial for us to let them temporarily lower their alert level."

Richard nodded and said, "Then Quel'Thalas will keep Loki's people, and they will station in the newly acquired forest after they have cleared the trolls. We can give up increasing the garrison forces in major cities. This force has no effect, but it is rude not to reciprocate. The Five Nations hate me, so I have to give them some trouble. Did Big Chin reply?"

Vashj said, "I replied. He is a little interested in that matter. He said he would find a time to meet you."

"That's good. Next we should slowly dismantle this damn alliance. Several major belligerent countries have suffered heavy losses. Don't worry about Gilneas, who is in a remote place. He will perish sooner or later. Let Big Chin go to Alterac to disrupt Lordaeron and Stromgarde. Kul Tiras has encountered the Naga, so let them encounter more. It's just an island country. Without maritime transportation, they are nothing. The old king of Quel'Thalas is very proud. In order to reduce the interest, he has made several deals with us. We can start with him."

"Yes, master."

Richard thought of an orc warlock: "Have you found the orc who came out of the Tomb of Sargeras?"

Vashj replied: "It's under control. I extracted some power from Gul'dan's skull and integrated it into Gul'dan's bones. Those bones can be used as energy."

"Very good, this time the orcs will be defeated, and humans will definitely destroy the Dark Portal, but who says the Dark Portal can only be used once. Let humans worry about the war on the front lines and the troubles in the rear."
