Chapter 461 A Strange Ceasefire Agreement
The floating fortress was attacked. When the layers of defenses built by the gargoyles were breached, the griffon dwarf thunder warriors discovered the eye of the storm: the Scourge fortress on Redemption Isle.
All disputes are temporarily set aside; the focus of our attacks shifts...
On both sides, naval gunboats and air power launched a landing operation, with their target being Atonement Island.
......
The Dark Tide Navy of Undercity withdrew from the battlefield of Redemption Isle Bay under the cover of poison, while the four-winged Angel of Death guided the Forsaken to the Whispering Coast...
Apart from Lorraine, it seems that none of the Forsaken participated in this battle of shared hatred.
One reason was that the Gilnean warships, under the cover of night elf hippogryphs, seemed poised to break through, and the Darktide navy confronted them at sea off Gilneas. The other was the exposure of a treasure the Scarlet Crusade had been hiding, causing the Queen's warriors to turn their guns on the secret port on the north shore, intending to eliminate the traitors...
The withdrawal of the Forsaken brought a brief period of peace to the Alliance and the Horde on the edge of Hillsbrad Foothills.
A buffer zone appears.
......
The reason for this joint effort to combat natural disasters is...
It was because the Alliance's new commander and the Horde's ambassador, the witch doctor, reached a rudimentary truce...
Marcus and the Zandalari ambassador, Kalai, who was a witch doctor, agreed that the Alliance and the Horde would temporarily maintain their respective territories on the two continents, and, when conditions were right, would jointly send troops to fight their common enemy, the Scourge or demons.
The division between tribal and alliance territories is simple and straightforward.
Currently, whoever has more strongholds and troops is the owner... Conversely, if both sides have strongholds on a piece of territory, as long as they have not been destroyed for the time being, it is considered territory under contention.
The so-called neutral zone, where neither side has a foothold, is where the real battlefield lies...
Everyone should use their own abilities to seize neutral territories!
If other factions voluntarily join the alliance or tribe, their original territories will also be protected by the agreement... Before attacking, the other party must be notified, otherwise stronger troops and weapons of mass destruction will be deployed...
In the struggle for territory, the two sides cannot engage in meaningless mutual attacks, mainly meaning that there will be no major battles between their main forces... Small-scale resource acquisition is acceptable.
In general, the goal is to maintain the status quo, rely on each other's abilities, and avoid escalating the war.
If you want new territories and resources, then seize neutral or hostile regions that do not belong to the Alliance or the Horde. For example, the Lich King's territory, the troll homeland, and small factions that refuse to join the Alliance or the Horde and think they can play both sides.
This agreement was the optimal solution agreed upon by the Alliance leadership and the Horde Warchief's advisors after the secret alliance between the Dark Queen of Undercity and the Kirin Tor of Dalaran was exposed by an insider.
They declared that all evil forces threatening Azeroth, such as the Lich King Arthas, the Demon Hunter Illidan, the Twilight Church suspected of wreaking havoc, or the minions of the Burning Legion, must be considered enemies of all.
......
It doesn't matter if this agreement sacrifices the interests of some members; what matters is that it's an agreement reached between the Keepers of Order behind Dalaran and the main leaders of the Alliance and the Horde.
It wasn't just a simple alliance between Marcus and the troll witch doctor Kalai.
Behind it lies the will of Dalaran, the Dragon Aspects, the Church of the Light, Shattrath Naaru, and even the Legion of the Light... The timing of the signing coincided with the unknown fate of the Dark Queen Sylvanas and the split between Prince Kael'thas and the remaining Blood Elf Council within Silvermoon City.
The opinions of gnomes in the Alliance and night elves in Kalimdor seem to be disregarded. Just as tauren and trolls in the Horde follow the orcs' lead... the Forsaken and blood elves are already marginalized.
Thrall agreed to the resolution, partly due to Jaina's mediation...
The Sunreaver's Temple in Dalaran, and the elusive Three-Eyed Blood Raven Prophet, also hinted that the Argent Dawn, using Northrend in the north as its blueprint, demonstrated the Scourge's plans and urgency to the Horde and Alliance.
The first one to fight was the Lich King...
The Naaru followers in Outland are using Outland as a source of profit, and the threat posed by Illidan must also be eliminated at the same time. This is the will of the Holy Light, to prevent the Burning Legion from taking advantage of the situation.
Khadgar and the Council of Tirisfal have been telling everyone that the real enemies are the extraterrestrial demons and the Old Gods, and even the Void...
While most people only know of the Lich King or have heard of traitors like Illidan the Demon Hunter, they know nothing about the demonic legions, the Old Gods, the elemental minions, or the Void Lords.
The leaders, however, knew perfectly well...
Thus, this bizarre and strange ceasefire agreement was passed smoothly...
A strange situation has arisen in Azeroth: sometimes the two sides are locked in fierce battles in neutral territory, and other times they can be sitting down and drinking together in neutral territory just outside a valley...
Of course, this is only a temporary agreement, and it is based on the premise that a common enemy exists, which means there will be peace... It is both bizarre and absurd, yet it is the reality.
War and peace, fleeting moments; alliances and confrontations, friends turning into enemies over a single disagreement—these are all common occurrences... An agreement is not a guarantee of peace, but rather a trigger for conflict...
Little did they know that this seemingly insignificant peace agreement was hard-won, costing countless lives and requiring courage and compromise.
......
The alliance strongly protested from the nobles of Katarina's party.
On the Horde side, Undercity is furious about the Forsaken's pitifully small territory. Apart from Silverpine Forest, which is close to Undercity, all the surrounding territories are contested!
Apart from its old territory, Silvermoon City is not protected by its allies in Quel'Thalas' original lands... especially since the Horde does not intend to send troops to attack the Zul'Aman trolls and wants to maintain the status quo.
The Zul'Aman trolls were once part of the earliest orc tribes, but after the orcs were defeated, they faced retaliation from Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, which led to their current miserable state.
Thrall's new Horde was originally intended to allow the Blood Elves and the Zul'Aman trolls to temporarily put aside their hatred. Little did they know that the two sides had a blood feud that had lasted for thousands of years, an irreconcilable conflict that was even more difficult to resolve than the so-called history of the Horde and the Alliance.
The last time the witch doctor Khalai was sent to Zul'Aman, she almost didn't make it back... She had been working hard to achieve results, and things took a turn for the better after Katarina was dismissed.
......
The current situation is that the jungle troll Zul'Aman can't reach an agreement... and the blood elves are even more unhappy.
Aside from the Dark Queen sending reinforcements to help eliminate the threat of the Scourge, the Horde didn't actually offer any substantial assistance to Silvermoon City.
Orgrimmar's attempt to win over the third city, Zul'Aman, made the already ambivalent Silvermoon Council feel that neither humans nor orcs were trustworthy. The proud and confident blood elves, clinging to what was now half of Silvermoon, sought a return to a supposedly neutral state...
Unfortunately, the Blood Elves were also internally divided. The prince's fickle nature and betrayal of his people left Silvermoon City in a precarious state. They could only maintain a superficial alliance with Undercity, playing both sides under the banner of the Horde...
The Sunreavers have returned to Dalaran, seemingly unrelated to Silvermoon City...
It is actually a very important matter.
