Menethil's Power

Chapter 323 The Sadness Buried Deep Under the Sea
Kul Tiras, Tiragarde Sound, Boralus Harbor.

It was only in the early hours of the morning, and there was a thick fog drifting on the sea, but a large number of people had already gathered on the pier, most of them were dressed in brightly colored clothes, and they were obviously not the common seamen, coolies or businessmen in the port.They were looking forward to it, and their eyes were all focused on the misty sea, as if they were waiting for something.

With a dull sound, a huge black shadow broke through the sea fog. It was a giant ship, the bow of which was an anchor sculpture familiar to all Kul Tirans, the "Sea King", just like it Like his name, this huge ship represents the status of Kul Tiras sea supremacy.Soon after the Majesty of the Sea more ships emerged from the fog, and the crowd on the pier cheered loudly.

The Kul Tiran Expedition Fleet is back!This fleet, which gathered most of Kul Tiras' naval power, now has only two-thirds of the original number of ships, and many ships are still covered with scars. However, the flag of Kul Tiras is still flying high. What returned was not only pain, but also glory.

The Battle of Quel'Thalas is a battle that concerns the safety of the entire world, and Kul Tiras is the human country that has contributed the most besides Lordaeron. The man of the sea country has proved himself with blood and courage.

The Proudmoore family stood at the forefront of the line at this time. Both Queen Catherine and Prince Tenred were faintly excited, but Jaina looked hesitant.

She was a little afraid to see her father.

Calculating the time, she should have not seen her father for more than three years. At the beginning, she went to Dalaran with the hope of her parents, but now...

The King of the Seas docked, and Admiral Daelin Proudmoore appeared in the sight of everyone. Nobles, merchants, and ordinary citizens all cheered, but Admiral Ben was still sullen, showing no joy. Feelings.

The protagonist of the triumphal ceremony seemed to be uninterested, so the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Everyone was a little at a loss, but they still tried their best to maintain the feeling of celebration. "Welcome home, dear." Catherine stepped forward, kissed her husband on the cheek, and winked at him for something to say, but the admiral was indifferent.

The welcome ceremony ended hastily, and even the admiral of the triumphant banquet afterwards did not show any good looks. After the nobles left the castle with interest, only the Proudmoore family was left in the castle. Dailin finally spoke. His majestic gaze looked at To Tandred.

"On the way back, I found a group of goblin ships, which were full of orcs. I don't understand why these dirty beasts would openly claim the territorial waters. What's even more absurd is that those goblins also claimed to have acquired Kul Tiras. Aren't you going to say something, my son?"

Jaina froze mentally.

"Uh, please listen to my explanation, father." Tandred said hastily, "We did discover the orcs very early, but they didn't invade our country, they just used a way, and those goblins expressed their willingness to pay the toll. The tide The sage told me that there are very powerful shamans among the orcs, and if they intercept them forcibly, both sides will suffer. Considering that there are not many ships left behind, we must maintain sufficient defensive strength, so I did not conflict with them..."

Out of his brother's love for his sister, he didn't mention Jaina's role in the whole incident.

"A long time ago?" The admiral's face darkened quickly, "Does that mean there were more orcs passing through the waters of Kul Tiras before?"

"Yes." Tenred bowed his head.

Traveling west to Kalimdor is not an easy task. Even if Gallywix joined the Horde as in the original timeline and provided all the transport capacity he has mastered, he still needs to go back and forth many times to complete the task of transporting all the orcs. This is a very large project.

"It's ridiculous!" The admiral scolded, "I never thought my son would be so cowardly and incompetent." Disappointment appeared in his eyes, "It seems that I shouldn't have sent Kul Tiras The defense work is entrusted to you, you are far behind your brother."

Tenred smiled bitterly, but could only remain silent.

"Okay, my dear, calm down," Queen Catherine smoothed things over, "After all, Tenred is still young, young people always make mistakes, and he will learn from them."

"That's for ordinary young people. Tandred is different. He is my son. All the mistakes he made will be borne by the whole of Kul Tiras. I was still worried about which child to choose to inherit the navy. Admiral position, but now it seems that I don't have to choose."

Tandred could only continue to smile wryly.

"Please don't blame Tyred, father." Jaina said, she couldn't see her brother take the blame for her, the girl summoned up her courage, "I let him let the orcs go."

The whole room suddenly fell into silence. Tandred and Drake tried their best to wink at Jaina, but the girl didn't seem to notice. She stared at her father seriously with pure eyes and a clear conscience.

Dai Lin was silent for a while, "Well, my dear daughter, this is the gift you gave your father when you got home? I need an explanation."

"Those orcs no longer have the idea of ​​​​invading and killing. They left the Eastern Kingdom on their own initiative and went to Kalimdor to build a new home. I don't think we should stop them from pursuing a new hope of life, so I persuaded Tenred Let them go and avoid more bloodshed and conflict than necessary," Jaina said.

"Kalimdor? Looking for a new life?" The admiral raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure? Those orcs really went to that continent?"

"Yes, the orc leader told me personally." Jaina tried her best to explain: "They are looking for peace, and they don't intend to be enemies with the alliance anymore."

"Really? The orcs will live a peaceful life in Kalimdor?" The admiral sneered, "Derek, order all the fleets to assemble immediately. It's not the time for us to rest, and those orcs actually We must not let them go, while we fight the demons and flee in despicable ways."

Everyone was amazed, and Queen Catherine exclaimed immediately. This lady who was no longer young but still dignified seemed really angry. "What are you doing, Dailin?" She asked sternly: "Did you just Are you leaving your family to fight again when you come back?"

The admiral looked at his partner with a rare tenderness in his eyes, "I'm sorry, my dear, please forgive me, I have to do this, this is the responsibility of a human monarch."

"Why, father?" Jaina felt a little unacceptable, "Those orcs are no longer our enemies, they just want to find a new home!"

"I have to correct one of your ideas, Jaina." The admiral regained his serious expression, his back was straight, and he became the majestic sea god of war again, "The orcs cannot be called 'humans', these beasts have an astonishing reproductive capacity Ability and destructive power, even in shelters, their numbers are growing rapidly. If they are allowed to recuperate on a continent without alliances, then we will soon face a new tribe, one that is not as strong as ten years ago. How much weaker the new tribe will be!"

History has proved that the admiral's vision is so accurate.

"I'll convey your order immediately." Drake said, and left quickly. He was the only one among the three siblings who participated in the second war, so he could best understand his father's thoughts. Anyone who participated in that war I will never forget the horror of orcs in my life.

However, Jaina is still very confused, "Then why can't peace be maintained between the two races? Apart from skin color and fangs, where is the difference between humans and orcs? Why must they be obsessed with hatred? Azeroth Si is so big, it can accommodate two races!"

"You're still too naive, kid." Daelin had put on his armor again, and the admiral was ready to go again in just a few minutes, "This is my lack of education, it seems that you It was a wrong decision to send you to Dalaran, which made you lack the vision and insight that your peers should have. You must know that Isaacs is only two years older than you, but he is already a hero who leads the alliance to fight against demons. No wonder you made that terrible mistake in Silverpine Forest."

Jaina's face suddenly turned pale, and she took a step back. The plague in Silverpine Forest has always been her worst nightmare.

"Daelin!" Catherine shouted, seeing her daughter's appearance as a mother made her feel distressed.The admiral also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he still had to maintain his father's dignity. "I hope you understand, Jaina, that only war can bring peace. With your brothers and I here, I still hope you can give up those ridiculous fantasies and see the reality of this world. Alright, Catherine , take her back to the room to rest."

Catherine stepped forward and held Jaina's arms. She was a standard good wife and mother, and she had a close relationship with Daelin, and she would hardly object to her husband's decision.Jaina, who was a little bit out of her mind after being mentioned sad things, did not resist her mother, and the two Proudmoore women walked towards the stairs.When she was about to go upstairs, Jaina suddenly turned around and asked: "How do you deal with the orcs you encounter, capture them and send them back to the shelter?"

"No, Kul Tiras didn't set up a prison to house them. Those beasts are now with the sharks." The admiral said calmly.

Jaina staggered.

Now only the Admiral and Tenred are left, "Can I go with you?" the second prince of Kul Tiras asked cautiously.

"No, you have to reflect on yourself." The admiral refused bluntly, "I really don't understand how ungrateful you are to let Jaina mess around."

"Yes, father." Tandred lowered his head again.

Daelin looked at Jaina's back. He suddenly felt that he needed to have a good talk with his daughter and correct some of her ideas, but he had to wait until the chasing orc came back to have this father-daughter conversation.

Queen Catherine sent Jaina back to her room, and the girl dismissed her mother on the grounds that she wanted to be alone.She sat on the bed with her arms around her knees and started to be in a daze. When she thought of more deaths happening because of her, she felt panicked.
