Ranger King of Azeroth

Chapter 42: Old and faint?

??Chapter 42 Old and faint?

?? While Charlemagne was passing the time by spreading his thoughts, Anasterian's speech finally ended.

??The heartfelt applause from the elves below made His Majesty the Sun King smile with satisfaction, but if he knew the true meaning of the applause, I wonder if he would still be in such a good mood.

??In fact, the second Sun King, Anasterian, was also a wise king who worked hard when he was young.

??Under his auspices, the high elves formed an alliance with Emperor Thoradin of the Arathor Empire and finally defeated the troll war that was secretly planned by the Zandalari trolls.

??In this war, the Amani trolls lost their leader Xinsa and a large number of loa primitive spirits at the time, and it was only after this that Zujin quickly took over to clean up the mess.

?? And the Zandalari trolls who were gesticulating behind their backs also fled back to their isolated overseas island in desperation. The frustrated Zandalari believed that the once glorious race of trolls had completely lost the chance to make a comeback.

?? Discouraged, they no longer participated in the affairs of all the trolls in Azeroth, and the various troll tribes began endless infighting on the two continents.

??Even the Darkspear troll tribe, which shined brilliantly in later generations, is still competing with other tribes for the right to survive in Stranglethorn Vale.

??But Anasterian, the once wise king, like all old men, gradually became stubborn and faint as he grew older.

??In the past year, he has been obsessed with intrigue with the Silver Moon Council, completely closed the country and has no contact with the outside world. He also likes the people's praises of him. All the qualities that a faint king should have have begun to appear in him.

??Charlemagne looked at Anastrian, who was enjoying the applause with his eyes slightly closed, and shook his head in disappointment.

??‘If the Sun King still had the courage of his youth, the high elves wouldn’t be beaten so badly when the old tribe invaded...’

Not communicating with the outside world also means having no allies. Facing the power of orcs to devour the world, humans, dwarves, and dwarves joined forces to form an alliance. However, when Anastrian invited the high elves to join He refused without hesitation.

Although ultimately forced by the oath he had made—to be loyal to the blood of Emperor Thoradin forever, Anasterian sent a small group of travelers led by Alleria as representatives to support Andu, the descendant of Emperor Thoradin. In Lothar.

??However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that this group of far travellers is obviously not an elite force of high elves. This method of dismissing beggars completely angered the alliance.

??If Alleria hadn't persuaded Turayang to come to support, I'm afraid the high elves would have been completely destroyed by the old tribe at that time.

But it’s hard to say how much of Turalyon’s actions at that time were public and how much was private, but what is certain is that if Aurelia hadn’t played a role in it, Anasterian might have made a move. The alliance is not so easy to send troops to support.

?? After repelling the threat of the orcs, the old king became stubborn again. In order to avoid the responsibility and expenses of establishing the orc shelters, he resolutely withdrew from the alliance and started to close the country again.

?? But the next time he was not so lucky, someone came to save him. The undead disaster eventually destroyed half of Silvermoon City, and also destroyed the pride of the high elves - the Sunwell.

?? Anastrian himself paid the price for his stubbornness, dying under the Scourge's onslaught.

??Prince Kael'thas came back and then hurriedly lowered his stance and ran to beg Garithos, the leader of the remnant army of Lordaeron, the largest force in the northern part of the Eastern Continent at that time.

??However, the tragedy is that due to the death of his family, this Garithos blamed the high elves who were not rescued in time, so this guy is a serious hatred of the high elves.

??Kael'thas was not valued at all by his subordinates, and even encountered difficulties everywhere. In the end...Kael'thas led his people to follow Illidan to the Outlands, seeking a way to redeem the people.

??But who would have thought that Kael'thas would be so addicted to fel energy that he couldn't extricate himself, and even bypassed Illidan and directly joined Kil'jaeden, one of the three giants of the Burning Legion.

?? It goes without saying that Kael'thas died, and the blood elves in Silvermoon City had to join the tribe that had attacked Quel'Thalas in order to survive.

??Charlemagne once thought about whether the series of tragedies that followed would change if the high elves could lift the closed-door policy early and actively join the alliance.

??However, the final conclusion is... hard to say!

Perhaps during the Orc War, the high elves could successfully defend Quel'Thalas with the strength of the alliance. However, in the event of natural disasters, after the largest human country, Lordaeron, was breached from the inside, the fate of the high elves was actually basically the same. Already doomed.

??The northern part of the entire eastern continent had no other reinforcements to rely on at that time, and the remaining scattered troops of Lordaeron barely protected themselves.

??The Kingdom of Stormwind in the south was overwhelmed by the riots of the Brotherhood of Masons. Even King Varian's Queen Tiffin was killed. Of course, there are other "people" behind this.

?? The dwarves were unable to support the main city of Gnomeregan, which was invaded by a large number of cave dwellers. The dwarves had a reason to be free. After all, the king's younger brother Muradin Bronzebeard was "killed" by Alsace.

??However, the distance between the two sides is too far. Whether the dwarves will come to support from a long distance is a question mark. It is also doubtful how effective their troops will be after they come.

??The only neighbor who can help is Gilneas, but that time period happened to be when Genn Greymane, who had not yet become the wolf king, had a brain twitch. What is not easy to learn, and started to implement isolation policies like the high elves.

??They built a majestic Greymane Wall, blocking everything from the outside world, and lived a happy life inside... until the werewolf crisis broke out.

??So Charlemagne reluctantly came up with a way out after thinking hard for a long time. First of all, it is necessary to increase the number of allies of the high elves, and joining the alliance is also necessary.

?? Speaking of this, it came back again. It is impossible to join the alliance without persuading the Sun King and the Silver Moon Council, but with the stubbornness of Anastrian who is now acting old and faint... Charlemagne said that it would be a lot of pressure to convince him.

??Although the Silver Moon Council is extremely good at fighting internally, it is no better than the Sun King externally. They are also die-hard diehards.

When looking for allies, it is also necessary to ensure that there are no problems within Quel'Thalas, which makes the already high difficulty even more difficult...so Darkan, a guy with a rebellious back, has long been on Charlemagne's must kill list.

??In terms of other allies... Charlemagne already has some ideas. Although it is very difficult to realize it, it is human-made. If you don't do it, how will you know whether it will succeed.

??'The future of **** difficulty...Fortunately, there is still enough time. First, use the 16 years to solve the problem of orcs, and then consider the Scourge. '
