Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid
Chapter 289: The return of hot sand
, !
Li De didn't know what kind of heart Boris had for doing such a thing, so he didn't make any noise because of Garin's report.
"You did the right thing by not being shaken by this, but you also don't show hostility to the Borist staff. It's just that from now on, no one will be allowed to mobilize the army without my order!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li De decided to deal with the matter coldly.
He was not sure whether Boris contacted Garin privately, whether it was this guy's impromptu intention, or whether it represented the meaning of Terenas. However, from Boris to Kalimdor, Li De has always been satisfied, and he doesn't want to fall out with the other party if it is not necessary.
After negotiation, the Alliance confirmed that Reed, Derek Proudmoore, Benedictus, Shandris, Anachronos, and Boris, with twenty soldiers, were supervised by the former base camp of Hot Sands. Kozan goblins.
Since entering the territory of Kezan, there have been too many extracurricular branches, so Li De will not feel relieved to go there in person.
The addition of Boris to this team was specially arranged by Li De. Boris seemed a little resistant to this, but the reasons given by Li De were also very sufficient. This negotiation that determines world peace requires Boris' mediation. Witness of home.
Before leaving, Reed specially brought Buck Romworth to Kel'Thuzad and Garin.
"From now on only my order will move the army, and Buck will be able to communicate with me one-way. After we leave, the three of you must keep the other two in sight at all times."
Li De's seriousness made Kel'Thuzad a rare serious expression.
"What's the matter? I saw Garin reporting to you just now. Did something happen?"
"Don't ask, I'm just making an extra guarantee."
…
There was almost no communication between the people of the alliance and the people of Kezan, but their interiors were not calm.
The exchanges between the several trade kings in Kezan are still commonplace, and it is nothing more than the issue of profit distribution. The alliance side is much more interesting.
On the way, Boris took the initiative to come to Li De's side and asked in a low voice.
"Duhu Li De, do you intend to end this war with a negotiated truce, or to completely defeat Kezan?"
"What does the commissioner want me to do?"
When asked by Li De, Boris showed a very serious expression.
"To be honest, in just a few short months, I have already recognized the goblins, and they are clearly a rogue race that can't shed tears without seeing the coffin.
If we take the road of negotiating a truce, we may not be able to obtain the expected wealth. The recent stalemate on the battlefield has made the war bonds of the countries in the rear very weak. The tone of the letter from His Majesty Terenas to me seems to be There is also some dissatisfaction. "
"Um."
Li De nodded, indicating that he already knew, but in the end he didn't give Boris an accurate answer.
…
Soon people came to the palace of Hot Sand. It seemed that after Zonoz was killed, all its minions lost their source of power, all lost their disguise, and turned into the indescribable posture of the Faceless.
Among Zoroz's minions, only a few are the ancient faceless ones who were summoned by Stromwild along with it, and more are the goblins originally under the hot sand, who were transformed by Zoroz and are facing the faceless. They are transformed, so they all take on the state of half goblin and half faceless, which is more disgusting than pure faceless.
For these Faceless minions, neither the Alliance nor Kezan showed the slightest mercy. After some fierce battle, all the Faceless monsters in the Hot Sand Palace were wiped out.
"Alas, Stromwilder..."
Seeing the pus and blood all over the place, turning your splendid hot sand palace into a **** on earth, Giggundt couldn't help but mention his friend's heartache.
"How filthy it is."
Benedictus frowned, spreading the power of the Holy Light to purify the shadow-filled pus and blood as much as possible.
"Your Majesty! There is a discovery here!"
At this moment, a goblin from the Alchemist Association shouted to this side, and everyone immediately followed the shout to the deepest part of the corridor, where a very special painting was hung on the wall.
The content in the painting is actually lackluster, and it is a relatively scarce religious theme within the goblin race: the prophet St. Gaboraz sacrificed his eldest son to the **** of commerce to prove his loyalty to gold coins.
Although the ending of the story is good: the **** of commerce sent an angel named "Interest" to prevent St. Gabriel from killing his eldest son. But this also shows a cruel truth. Under the cruel business logic, all family and friendship must give way.
Such paintings are still common in goblins, but the special feature of this painting is that it is three-dimensional.
"What happened to this painting?"
Li De asked a little puzzled, but Jig Wundt was very clear.
"Behind the painting is Strim Wilder's secret room, which holds his collection over the years. He once took me to visit. If I remember correctly, this secret room should be opened like this."
As he spoke, Jig Wundt stretched out his hand and pressed it down on several raised places such as the knife in St. Gaboraz's hand, the tip of the eldest son's nose, and the gold coin on the chest of the angel "Interest".
After a few protrusions were pressed down, the whole painting was pushed outward, and then a door opened, revealing the secret room behind it.
After everyone walked into the secret room, they saw Streem Wilder sitting alone inside.
Hot Sand turned his back to the door, and when he heard the door of the secret room being opened, he spoke in a tone of loneliness mixed with sarcasm.
"Heh, are you monster interrogating me again? You give up, don't try to get anything you want to know from me."
Just this sentence made everyone feel the bitterness, Jig Wundt said excitedly.
"Strim Wilder! You're still alive! We're here to save you!"
Hearing his friend's voice, Resha turned back in disbelief.
"Giggundt! It's really you! I knew you'd come to my rescue!"
Resha stood up abruptly during the speech, he looked a lot thinner, and even walking seemed a little unstable.
It's just that Li De feels a little uncomfortable. To be honest, now, he has a hard time believing that there is such a thing as "sincere friendship" among the Kezan goblins.
And Li De didn't forget how Giggundt knew that Zonoz was fake hot sand, and he concealed many details, which made Li De believe that the two had a lot of acting elements at this time.
But now this is not the focus of Li De's attention. What he needs to make sure is that the hot sand in front of him is real, and it will not be counterfeited by some messy things.
The same concern exists in the hearts of Ruiduofengsi and others. When the hot sand comes back, it means that the trade king has become five again, and others can no longer divide the interests of the hot sand group.
There is real gold and silver in the middle, and there is no room for sloppy.
So in order to prove that the hot sand is really hot sand, it went through a series of very complicated procedures. First, Jig Vundt used several drugs to test the reaction, and even released a few drops of blood to the hot sand to let Benedita Si used the Holy Light to test whether there was a shadow reaction.
Gu Li
After doing all this, the other trade lords asked the hot sand one after another, and finally determined that the guy in front of him was real.
After confirming their identities, Hot Sand and Jig Vundt both let out a sigh of relief. It is a risk that he has not undergone the deep transformation of fel energy. In the field test, the problem of fel energy was also ignored because of the Faceless. It didn't break his identity as a warlock.
…
"It's been a long time since Li Deduhu, and seeing you in Kezan, I knew that a lot of things happened during the time you were imprisoned.
I need a little time to get acquainted with the situation and decide how to negotiate with the alliance, so now can you leave with your people first? "
Hot Sand's request is not excessive, and Li De is still more willing to deal with Hot Sand than a guy like Mogul, but while agreeing to Hot Sand's request, he still gives restrictions.
"I can only give you another 24 hours, the alliance has no patience. And I advise you, you must understand the situation, Kezan's defeat to the alliance is inevitable, I can only allow you to bargain, but Kezan In general, there is a price to pay to surrender to the league."
"I see."
Hot sand looked at the expressions of the other trade kings, and finally nodded to Li De.
…
Just after Li De led people away, Resha invited other trade kings to his living room. Although he no longer had to worry about his life after becoming a warlock, the loss of his control over the group and his influence over Kezan still left him seriously insecure.
It is only now that he is sitting on his sofa, Hot Sand has the feeling of "all come back".
"It seems that we lost the war with the alliance very badly. Everyone, what do you think?"
Hearing Risa's tone of being the master of freedom, Mogul felt unhappy for a while, but the embarrassment in front of the public just now made him swallow all the words back in his stomach.
"Alas, now that I finally understand the situation, there is nothing to admit defeat. We lost so embarrassedly in the battlefield, and there are such problems in our interior.
Even if we abandon Kezan in the end and move to another place, if the alliance or other military groups attack us again, I have no confidence that we will be able to achieve such results as defending Kezan.
We really have no other way out than to surrender to the Alliance. What happened to you while you were incarcerated, Stromwilder, I don't want to ask.
I just hope you can tell us the truth now, what the **** do you think? If we are not united within, disasters like Zoroz the Faceless will surely befall the goblins again. "
Ruiduo Fengsi, who has always disagreed with him, can say such words, which really surprised Risa, and he fumbled around for a long time to find a cigar to light.
"Dekzik, I have the same opinion as you, surrender is indeed a surrender, and we can't afford it. I can't bear to exchange the complete decline of the goblins for the vitality of the alliance.
It's just that how to surrender and what price to surrender can still be negotiated. Li De just gave us a hint, which can give us some room for bargaining.
As for how to bargain wisely, that is a matter of knowledge. "
Having said this, Hot Sand paused and glanced over Mogul.
"Azerite is indeed a good bargaining chip, but it is obviously not used in this way. This kind of perishing move is completely useless for us. Taking it out casually will only lower its price, and also Raised enemy thresholds.
Which Azerite is the most deterrent? The answer is that Azerite, which has not yet detonated, is the most deterrent!
As long as the Azerite beneath Kezan survives, Kezan is absolutely safe.
Even if it can be handled properly, when we face the threat of life and death in the future, forces such as the Alliance and the Night Elves may take the initiative to protect our safety. "
Resha's remarks made Ruiduofengsi and others stunned for a while. After thinking along his lines for a while, they suddenly realized, and they all admitted that they are indeed inferior to this guy in terms of the overall situation.
"Don't worry, after this surrender, no matter how the Alliance punishes us, as long as they don't kill all the goblins, we'll have a day when we can get back to glory, starting from the dark days in that mine in St. Gabriel. , Goblin is a tough race that is good at surviving in the cracks."
It has to be said that a race that only values interests still has a spiritual background similar to religion in its bones. Whether the so-called era of Gaboraz is real or not is still a question, but it can give goblins cohesion in the most difficult times.
…
After a long talk in the hot sand palace, the other trade kings left on their own to prepare for the surrender, but Gigerundt deliberately walked slowly.
"I knew you had something to tell me."
Hotsand wasn't surprised by Giger Wundt's stay.
"You destroyed the base station of the Tinker Association, right?"
Jig Wundt asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.
"That's right, you go to the negotiation to start, until the monster is seen through... The whole process, I am observing from a distance with the eyes of fel energy.
I have always believed in Rydowson's technology. From the goblin teleporter to the airship, and even the miraculous giant flying golem, he has never gone wrong. I can't bet on the tiny chance of failure of the base station.
If I didn't do the sabotage, Morgul might have actually blown up the Azerite. How could the fate of Kezan be controlled by a guy like that? "
After solving this doubt, Giggundt asked a second question.
"Where's Nogfogg? He knows the secret of your becoming a warlock and has been silenced by you?"
"How come, he is Li De's right-hand man and a very important person. Silencing him is equivalent to completely angering Li De, and there is no benefit.
On the contrary, a living Nogforge is a good place to live, and on your way, I will transfer him to another safe place and imprison him.
In the subsequent negotiations, he can be a good bargaining chip, please ask that Li Deduhu to raise your hand a little. "
After listening to Hot Sand's explanation, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Jig Wundt looked at each other in admiration.
"Mastering the situation ahead, destroying the base station of Rydowphons, transferring Nogfogg, and forging the situation in the secret room, you have done so much in such a short period of time.
You're beyond the limits of a normal goblin, and now I really don't know what to do with you. "
"Oh, my friend, evil can bring me far more than that. It even allows me to touch the true meaning of this world, which is why I have the confidence to make goblins great again."
Jig Wundt is still somewhat resistant to fel energy. He only thinks that Hot Sand is just a newcomer to fel energy and is a little blindly optimistic, so he is not willing to talk about this aspect.
He was reluctant to talk about it, but Hot Sand was very interested in certain details.
"If I guessed correctly, the human race standing beside Li De at that time seems to be the special commissioner..."
"Commissioner Boris, he represents Lordaeron."
"That's right, that Boris, when Li De and the others left, I found that guy very interesting."
