Chapter 298 The Return of Drek'Thar
This trump card of Rivigaz is still very lethal.
Stranglethorn is home to the world's largest tropical rainforest in the proven world and produces more than half of the world's total production of palm fiber.
With current technology, brown wool is really not a high-quality material for the textile industry. But the brown rope made from it is inseparable from any country.
Many things that can be seen everywhere in life actually play a vital role in maintaining the normal operation of society. Whether it is production or military, it is inseparable from such a common thing as a rope.
All countries need the brown wool produced by Stranglethorn Vale. Previously, they could only leave the port from Booty Bay. This is the confidence of Rivigaz.
Li De's brows also wrinkled, this is indeed a difficult thing to do.
Rivigaz has been operating in Stranglethorn Vale for many years, and has formed a tacit understanding with the local jungle trolls, and the locals only trade with Rivigaz.
As for the Kingdom of Stormwind in the north, the relationship with the various jungle trolls is extremely bad, not to mention that there is only one mountain road that is extremely tortuous and difficult to travel south.
"At the end of the day, you still intend to hurt others and not yourself, and you want to hurt both sides of the alliance? The 'blocking the alliance' in your mouth, doesn't it mean that you are more hurt in the end?"
Reid had no choice but to ignore Rivigaz's move, still emphasizing the importance of trade to Booty Bay.
"Oh, don't make a mistake, the goods I can get are just not sold to the Alliance. I said that Stranglethorn Vale has a long coastline. Although I will pay a certain price, the goods in my hand will eventually be able to Send it to the buyers I am willing to trade, and I have many business partners... there are many of you Terran."
Li De knew that this guy was referring to black market transactions with smugglers. Stranglethorn Vale was indeed too big. It was like an outstretched hand in the southern part of the kingdom, with some long coastlines on the east and west sides.
The Alliance fleet is based in the Kingdom of Stormwind and does have a huge influence on the west coast. If you want to block the east coast, you are really powerless.
If Rivigaz has the courage to open up a new port on the west coast and establish a new trade route from the sea west of the kingdom mainland, it will indeed be quite difficult to complete the blockade against him.
"You are too naive. What if the Alliance also builds a naval base on the West Bank? The Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows are already under the Alliance's control. As long as the Alliance is willing, it can completely block you from the east and west! "
Anyway, it's all a brain hole, Li De tried to theoretically fight Velazquez.
"Are you scaring me?! I don't believe that the Alliance will really build a naval base in the Blasted Lands or the Swamp of Sorrows, those are two completely unprofitable lands, and the money spent building a base there is enough for the Alliance to fight a war. , just to block me from doing this, it is completely to get the business at a loss!"
Li De didn't expect to be questioned by Rivigaz at a loss for words in the battle of words.
"If you don't believe it, let's wait and see if the Alliance will tolerate you, a guy who is unwilling to give in! My giant dragon partner has made it very clear just now that even if it desires peace, the Alliance will never give up using it. The means of force! When the time comes, including your narcissistic statue, we will all destroy it!"
The statue mentioned by Li De is a statue of more than 20 meters high that Rivigaz built for himself in the bay.
Li Weigaz heard Li De suddenly mention the statue, and his heart suddenly froze. The first thing he thought about was how the information was leaked. He built this giant statue, in addition to satisfying narcissism, the more important thing was to hide his treasure.
But then he calmed down, because as early as the beginning of the war, he had considered the safety of these treasures once Booty Bay fell.
"Hehe, I don't know where you got the news. I might as well tell you that the treasure in the statue has already been moved by me to a safer place."
Li De sighed inwardly when Li Weigaz said triumphantly, and the card in his hand seemed to be invalid.
At this time, Rivigaz's tone softened. He is not crazy. In fact, if he can negotiate and solve the problem, how can he be willing to take the most extreme path.
"After you go back, think about it carefully. What's the point of continuing this long-term confrontation? It is good for all of us to restore peace as soon as possible. The big deal is that I will give the alliance some concessions in business.
As for wanting me to be exempted from the indemnity, Kezan really lost to you, but I don't think I've lost the battle. "
"Okay, since we'll wait and see, do you really think you can always be proud in Stranglethorn Vale? It's just the snort of the jungle troll."
Li De knew that he was destined to have no way to dispel this guy's illusions by relying only on himself today. He began to think about what to do next. There was actually a card in his hand that could be used, but he was not sure how much it could play a role.
"I'll be waiting for you here, but I think you should consider my proposal more carefully."
Rivigaz saw them off with a smile. Li De took Ander to the port and went out of the bay to return to the Alliance fleet.
"Duhu Li De, how did the negotiation turn out?"
Varian looked at him hopefully, making Li De feel a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't convince Rivigaz. It looks like I can only think of other ways, that guy has a lot of luck, and I can't dispel his illusions by myself.
There is still a living space in Stranglethorn Vale that he relies on, so I plan to ask Zandalar for help. Ask them to convince the jungle trolls to stop cooperating with Rivigaz. "
Li De didn't plan to use this card unless he had to. Asking for help is naturally not in vain. A Li Weijiaz is really not worthy of Li Dehua's favor.
"Great, if that's the case, it should be able to force Rivigaz to surrender."
Varian seemed very happy, he knew that Zandalar and Reed had a good relationship.
"Well, I hope. When I communicated with Princess Talanji of Zandalar, I learned that the jungle trolls are in chaos now, and it is still unknown how much influence Zandalar can have in Stranglethorn."
Li De didn't say too much, and it was considered a vaccination for Varian in advance.
...
It's just that Li De didn't expect that before he could play the Zandalar card, a new card was sent to him voluntarily.
This is a letter, not to Li De, but to Varian.
"General Turalyon's message, the Dark Portal has finally come to fruition."
When the letter was handed over to Li De, Varian's expression seemed a little complicated.
Varian asked himself that he would never eradicate his hatred of the orcs in his life, but at this moment he also knew that this information was very important to the current situation.
Drek'Thar, the old shaman of the Frostwolf clan, managed to get out of the Dark Portal. Not only did he survive a world that was about to collapse, but he also returned to Azeroth with some special friends!
"This news is too timely for us!"
Li De said happily, but to take care of Varian's emotions, he still asked for opinions in a consultative tone.
"Can we invite Drek'Thar to come here? If it goes well, we will have the leverage to force Rivigaz to surrender."
Varian sighed, and finally uttered only two words.
"Can."
...
Standing side by side on the deck, blowing the gentle sea breeze, Li De hesitated for a long time and still spoke to Varian.
"Varian, as a king, you have to consider issues from the perspective of national interests. Excessive emotionality will only blind you to hatred. There are no permanent enemies but only permanent interests. What I said, and It's not just about orcs."
Varian looked at the ship that was approaching them, nodded with an uncertain attitude, and said nothing.
The boat approached the boat that Li De and the others were on, and the passengers on it climbed the rope ladder to come to Li De and the others.
I haven't seen him for a few months. Drek'Thar looks older than before. It seems that it is difficult for him to stand still, as if he will fall down when the wind blows, but Li De can clearly feel that his spirit is stronger than before. enough.
"Shaman Drek'Thar, it looks like you finally saved Gorongas?"
When Li De asked this, he didn't expect the old shaman to shake his head very simply, and then laughed again.
"Manpower is insignificant in the face of nature, and we are powerless to prevent the collapse of a world. Fortunately, an old world collapsed, but we ushered in a new world!"
Li De didn't quite understand Drek'Thar's words, and he also noticed that following Drek'Thar were two draenei Broken.
The uncomfortably contorted face of the Broken was indistinguishable, but Reid recognized that one of them was Magtur. The Shaman of the Shattered, who resolutely stayed with Drek'Thar in a world that was about to collapse, unexpectedly, he also survived.
After Li De and Magtur exchanged a few words, they looked at another Broken.
He was sure that he didn't know this person, and he also noticed the great respect for the Broken One in Magtur's eyes.
"Can you two introduce us to who this is..."
Li De looked at the two and said, but before the two could speak, the Broken took the initiative to lean over to Li De.
"Noble leader of the human race, Shaman Nuboden the Shaman, salutes you."
Nuboton looked ferocious, and his voice was harsh, but his temperament was very modest. As for his low profile, Li De immediately expressed that he did not dare to take it and was in awe.
He had long heard the name of the first Shaman of the Broken. Under the desperation of the draenei suffering, it was he who was accepted by the Elemental Spirit of Gorongas and became a shaman. Many draenei like him, including Mag'tur.
Drektal said with emotion.
"The world is crumbling, I will never forget. The orcs committed such unforgivable crimes against the draenei, but when I was in trouble, the shaman Nuboden helped me. He brought a group of shamans with him. , work together with us to save Gorongas and leave the last spark of fire in this world."
There was not a trace of emotional fluctuations on Nuboton's face, the shaman who had experienced countless hardships and became enlightened, said calmly.
"Delanor, the fate of countless people has been intertwined since the day this name appeared.
Demons are like maggots on the tarsus, a curse the exiles cannot escape. To be a slave is not the intention of the slaves. The slaves brought misery to the exiles, and the slaves' homes still gave the exiles a chance.
Only when we are united can we hope to break the shackles. If we cannot accept the arrangement of our destiny first, how can we change our destiny? "
What Nubotton said was very obscure, but Li De could understand that he was telling his own experience, so he responded with a smile.
"Life always finds a way to find a way out. As survivors, we have no choice but to move forward."
A strange light flashed in Nuboton's eyes, and he looked at Li De's face seriously.
"There is no doubt that you have chosen a great path, in the midst of turbulence, the most difficult thing is to master the balance. Please forgive my rudeness, in you I see the elements are out of balance, you are in the process of practicing the great path , please also give the elements some attention."
Similar words have also been said by Soul Walker, but I didn't expect that Nubotton, who met for the first time, would also give such a warning, which made Li De surprised and even more afraid to despise the Shaman of the Broken.
"Du Hu Li De, I think it's time to talk about some specific issues."
At this moment, Varian reminded behind him that everyone entered the cabin with good deeds.
Sitting at the long wooden table, Drek'Thar told Reed and Varian about Gorongas' current situation.
"With the help of the Nuboten shaman, we got most of the response from the elemental spirits, and the four elemental kings mobilized the elemental power to create an elemental plane to contain Gorongas.
Frostfire Ridge, Gorgrond, Tanaan Jungle, and Zangarhid all changed dramatically, but the world stopped falling apart. The four elements have been rebalanced, and the desolate world will return to life in the future.
It's just that it takes time for the world to recover, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take fifty years, but the survivors of Golongas can't wait that long.
Now Golongas has very rich mineral deposits, but there is a serious shortage of crops and livestock, and the survivors have no food. We want the two worlds to trade, exchanging minerals and other specialties for food. "
In the traditional culture of orcs, there is a lack of interest in trade, but because of the ogres and draenei, they are no strangers to trade.
Now in order to survive, Drek'Thar has decided to break with tradition.
Li De did not express his position immediately, but gestured to Varian who was beside him with his eyes.
Drek'Thar understood, stood up from his seat and said sincerely.
"King Varian~www.novelbuddy.com~ The tribes of the past have committed crimes. The experience of being enslaved by demons has not only brought you misery, but also an eternal shame for the orcs.
We will always remember the mistakes of the past, and the orcs will never be slaves! I beg you to give these poor survivors another chance, they are innocent and honorable, the orcs who remained in Gorongas never supported acts of aggression!
What's more, among these survivors, there are more innocent draenei. Even if it is for them, please be kind. "
Varian watched Drek'Thar silent for a long time, and when the old shaman was about to become discouraged, Varian finally spoke.
"How many of these survivors are there? Even if it is a fair trade, we must first know whether there is so much food for you."
