Humans, dwarves, gnomes and high elves are all immersed in the joy of victory.
However, after the celebration, they have to face a harsh reality-life will never go back to the past.
The war destroyed the entire Eastern Kingdom, and countless villages and towns were bloodbathed by the tribe. From Stormwind City to Alterac, from roads and trails to mountain passes, all corpses are like mountains, which makes people unbearable.
For every member of the alliance who went into battle to kill the enemy, the destruction of the Dark Portal does not mean the end of the war.
The survivors are haunted by terrible nightmares every night; many soldiers have lost relatives, friends, and even all their family members; and some soldiers will be dragged with their disabled bodies to live through their lives in the future.
It takes a long and difficult process to find inner peace. This battle is far more difficult than the battle against the tribe.
There are many parts of the entire Eastern Kingdom that need to be rebuilt.
The rulers of the alliance soon agreed to unite the resources of the nations to make up for the wounds left by the war.
Of course, Alterac, who betrayed the coalition forces, also needed to be dealt with, but the leader of this country had already died in the war.
The nations of the alliance have not yet reached a consensus on how to deal with the traitor kingdom, and the debate will continue for several weeks.
In all work, the reconstruction of Stormwind is of vital importance.
King Terenas generously decided to help the Kingdom of Stormwind regain the kingdom and help his old friend Ryan Wrynn return to the throne.
In the eyes of many people, the Kingdom of Stormwind symbolizes the future of mankind.
Because if even the Kingdom of Stormwind can be reborn from the ashes, then anyone can cheer up.
Refugees in the Kingdom of Stormwind have a mixed sentiment towards the news of the reconstruction of Stormwind City: many of them are unwilling to return to their dilapidated homes, so as not to see things and feelings, which will only increase their grief. These refugees would rather start a new life in Lordaeron.
But there are still some refugees who choose to return to their kingdom.
Under the leadership of Ryan Wrynn, most of the citizens of the Kingdom of Stormwind returned to their homeland. Bovar Fortagan and others assisted him, actively engaged in the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Stormwind, even Andu In Lothar also resigned from his position as the supreme commander of the Alliance — and this position is no longer needed — to concentrate all his energy on the work of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Chapter 0619 The Dispute About Alterac
After the end of the war, many of the troops established because of the war also had other tasks.
The high elves' volunteer force was disbanded. This force was originally recruited by Alleria in Quel'Thalas to support the Alliance. Now that the war is over, the members of this force will naturally go back to their homes.
The archers formed by Ye Ting are now a separate army. Although in Quel'Thalas, which is scattered throughout the forest, this army is not so useful, but the impressive achievements they have created have caused Quel'Thalas to give up and disband. The idea of this army.
In addition, another army that has not been disbanded is the Knights of the Silver Hand.
Although their establishment was also for this war, the end of the war does not mean that their mission is over.
The Paladins and the Church of the Holy Light united to help the Alliance continue to advance, while treating the sick, while providing shelter for those survivors who had been hit hard in the war and were unable to take care of themselves.
In this process, the knights inevitably split, and the high elf paladins headed by Liadrin belonged to the new archbishop of the high elf, that is, under the command of her adoptive father Van der Rohe.
With such a new force, the power of the Holy Light Church among the high elves gradually began to expand, and there were constantly high elves fighters joining them because of their interest in the profession of paladins.
Of course, no one, including Van der Rohe, knows that Liadrin, who has been trained by the chaste saint, is actually no longer a fanatical believer of the holy light. She has seen the essence of the holy light and started from another level. Control the Holy Light.
Although the armies of various countries have returned to rest and reorganization, and soldiers have begun to disarm and return to their fields, this does not mean that the various races of the alliance have put down their hatred of the orcs.
After witnessing the tragic death of countless people in this war, driven by the desire for revenge, a large number of humans, elves, dwarves and gnomes embarked on a journey to hunt the remnants of the orcs, searching in the remote wilderness and mountains of the Eastern Kingdom. Prey, use this method to relieve the pain and sorrow of the heart.
In the process, the hunters of the Alliance captured many orcs, and many were killed on the spot, even for revenge for those relatives and friends who were killed by the war.
In the original history, Alleria Windrunner will also be one of them. The Horde colluded with the forest troll and attacked Quel'Thalas. In the process, Alleria lost seventeen. A relative, her brother and mother were among them-this is the fate she might have encountered.
But now, thanks to Ye Ting's efforts, the troll has been eliminated early, and the tribe has hardly made any major breakthroughs. The Windrunner sisters are not clear about it, but their tragic fate has indeed been changed.
Ye Ting didn't feel any pity for such a result.
In his opinion, he and the Windrunner sisters have passed the stage of doing good deeds long ago. As long as they can help each other, it doesn't matter if they don't get their gratitude.
It's a pity that Ye Ting can directly help a few people around him. Even if he tried to make the whole war change drastically, he also greatly reduced the loss of the alliance side, but there were still many people he couldn't see.
Not only ordinary people have different views on orcs, even kings do.
On the issue of how to dispose of the prisoners, there was a clear disagreement among the members of the alliance.
Gene Greymane of Gilneas and Thoras Trollbane of Stormgard proposed that these criminals be executed immediately, but Terenas of Lordaeron did not agree to do so.
They believe that the reason why the Alliance is more civilized and noble than the Horde is precisely because of their compassion.
Compared with the execution of these orcs, Terenas believes that they should be locked up in a prisoner of war camp that will be funded by the Alliance.
The Kirin Tor Council of Six in Dalaran also agreed with this approach.
After Aegwynn brought Medivh to her retreat, the Tirisfal Council had faded out of history. The original duties of the secret organization were all transferred to the shoulders of the members of the Kirin Tor, which also included investigating demonic activities.
The mages of Dalaran hope to study the orcs and their strange magic, and while pursuing knowledge, they can also satisfy strategic needs.
But on the surface, Dalaran’s reason is that only by better understanding the orcs and learning from each other can they defeat the enemy in future wars.
In the end, after a series of lobbying and voting, the alliance finally reached an agreement that all members will jointly fund the construction of a prisoner of war camp for the detention of orcs.
After the construction of the camp is completed, it will be supervised by the famous warrior Danas Trollbane of Stromgarde. If it works well, the Alliance will allow the camp to continue. If not, all these orcs will be killed.
In addition to the placement of the orcs, how to deal with the betrayed kingdom Alterac has also become a major problem for the Alliance. Even Gilneas, which is located at the top of the southern peninsula and is very far from Alterac, is also Get involved.
The first to have ambitions for Alterac's land was Stormgard.
Alterac and Stromgarde are neighbors to each other, and since the beginning of this war, the two countries have some disagreements.
Thoras Trollbane, the king of Stormgarde, initially devoted all of Stormgard's forces to support the Alliance of Lordaeron. This may be because Stormgarde is adjacent to Khaz Modan, and cooperation with the Alliance is the only option for this mountain kingdom.
However, no one can doubt the toughness of Trollbane's warriors.
If it were not for their existence, and the alliance had fallen into a large area of territory in the first week of the war, then the whole situation is obviously very likely to develop to another very bad result.
Now that peace is coming, Thoras Trollbane has begun to demand. He believes that as compensation for the sacrifice in wartime, Stormgard should get the entire eastern territory of its former traitorous neighbor.
However, Terenas of Lordaeron didn't think so.
He is still weighing the pros and cons of the two plans: whether to turn Alterac into a subject state or to establish a new and more obedient monarch on top of its king...In short, it is subject to Lordaeron's control.
Although Stormgard was indeed a loyal and firm ally in the war, people also knew that they respected each other. But this situation still makes the political relations between the two countries tense.
Originally Gilneas was not in such a complicated relationship—it had always had very little contact with the western countries.
Therefore, many people know that the reason for Gene Greymane's intervention is not only to increase his own reputation, but also to realize his dream of expansion.
A nephew of Perenolde fled to Gilneas after the betrayal, and there are rumors that Greymane is supporting him as heir to the throne.
In this way, the base in Alterac can transport a large amount of resources lacking in the southern kingdom to Gilneas, and at the same time give Gilneas warships an excuse to cross the endless sea-although this will threaten Kultira Sri Lanka is a very possessive country for maritime hegemony.
