Acceptance
Just as Hamuul Runetotem himself said, he did not give up, nor did the compassionate Shu'halo; they actively persuaded Thrall to accept the Forsaken and engage in mutually beneficial relationships.
After being persuaded by Shu'halo and the others, Thrall also wavered. It wasn't that his will was weak, but Forsaken if the Forsaken were not accepted by the Horde, they would most likely be accepted by the Alliance. As the Warchief, he had to consider the impact of the situation on the Horde.
Fearing the situation, Thrall sent his spies to Theramore to gather intelligence. After learning that Jaina had also been approached by the Forsaken and refused their offer, he became more resolute. However, he was also worried that other Alliance nations on the other side would accept the Forsaken.
Thrall was deeply conflicted, and ultimately succumbed to this indecision, rescinding his previous decision and allowing Kozwen to remain in Orgrimmar, giving the Forsaken a chance to convince themselves. If they could not, the Horde would still refuse them entry.
The Forsaken quickly seized the opportunity, and their queen, Sylvanas, sent her loyal subordinate, the human apothecary Putress, to Orgrimmar to demonstrate the Undead's potion-making skills to the Horde.
Although the technology of using Undead as biological weapons plays a crucial role on the battlefield, Thrall did not back down. The Horde disdained such things and rejected this reason for accepting the Forsaken.
Faced with Thrall's refusal, Sylvanas once again sent her loyal subordinate, Velonara, High Elves like herself in life, who brought a letter that could influence Thrall's decision. The letter came from a place called Outland.
The letter was written by Kael'thas, who was in Outland, to Quel'Thalas. The reason it could affect Thrall was because it mentioned something about the Orcs that had appeared in a place called Outland —brown-skinned Orcs.
Thrall, and all the Orcs in Orgrimmar now, except for Orcs Orcs Rexxar, are green. Before being tainted by Fel energy, the Orcs ' skin was actually brown.
The Orcs ' brown skin signified their immunity to evil energy, a piece of news that shook Thrall. The Forsaken were not fools; they used this opportunity to negotiate, and Thrall ultimately decided to accept the Forsaken.
Thrall didn't consider any of the constraints Hamuul Runetotem had previously proposed, nor did he set any requirements for the Forsaken to enter the Horde, such as the requirement to lead them to the brown-skinned Orcs, because that would be pointless. The Horde had its Horde code of conduct, and if the Forsaken to deceive him with fakes, he would make Forsaken never forgot that behavior.
Thrall made only one request: that Sylvanas, the Queen of the Forsaken, personally go to Orgrimmar to swear allegiance to the Horde. Venalola agreed to this request on Sylvanas's behalf, but the remnants of Lordaeron's army were preparing to besiege them, and the Queen was unable to leave.
The Horde's support for the Forsaken naturally falls to the Amani, who are also on the Eastern Kingdoms. After carefully inquiring about the letters from the brown-skinned Orcs, Thrall made a request to Zul'ra, who agreed. Zul'ra first wrote a letter to Broken-Tooth in the Amani before returning to Ashenvale.
Before leaving Kalimdor, Zul'ra needed to make proper arrangements. He would entrust the Amani affairs here to Malacrass, while Haimuxi would assist him.
Some of the Dark Trolls tribes on Mount Hyjal have now descended to Ashenvale and are living with the Amani. They get along fairly well, and Zul'ra is quite satisfied with this.
Aside from making arrangements before her departure, Zul'ra also took a special look at the situation of the Night Elves. Thanks to the assistance of the Horde and the Natural Faction, the Night Elves had successfully completed the purification of Felwood and Ashenvale, but they had encountered new troubles.
Hamuul told Sanra that the World Tree in Teldrassil, which was originally planted by Archdruid Fandral Staghelm on the island that rose from the west coast and was intended to be his new home, had malfunctioned.
Nordrassil is still badly weakened, and now Teldrassil, their new home, is also in trouble. Tyrande Whisperwind is extremely irritable, and just when things are at their worst, some new evil creatures have appeared in the shadows of Felwood. These creatures attacked the Night Elves ' team that was clearing out the Talonbranch Furbolgs.
Because the situation was unclear, and he had already given too much help before, and now he had too many things to deal with, Zul'ra could no longer help the Night Elves. He wrote a letter and asked Hamuul Runetotem to pass it on to Lunara, and then left Ashenvale with thirty Tooth-Soldiers to head towards Ratchet.
Because of the urgent situation of the Forsaken, and the fact that the Horde is currently undertaking major repairs on its ships, Zul'ra can no longer travel by ship back to the Eastern Kingdoms. Instead, she has to Goblins the goblin airship from Ratchet to Faldir's Cove.
"Attention passengers, please line up to board the airship! Please line up to board the airship! Please be careful and do not push. Also, this airship provides animal enclosures for mounts, but tickets are required." The Goblins officer, who was barely 1.5 meters tall and had a bow tied under his chin, shouted, staring at Zul'ra and the giant deer and Raptor led by his guards.
Zul'ra glanced at the guy staring intently at her as he rode the Lukulai Kulai Mao'er, her gaze shifting almost imperceptibly. Who was she? Was she the kind of person who would sneak onto an airship without a ticket?
Although she didn't want to say it, the airship ticket was indeed frighteningly expensive. While boarding the airship, Zul'ra wondered whether she should turn back and ask Thrall to reimburse her for the fare.
The Goblins airship was a behemoth, its hull resembling a ship, capable of holding a hundred or so passengers. During her journey aboard, Zul'ra saw all sorts of people: Night Elves, Tauren, Orcs, humans, and even a Darkspear Trolls.
Zul'ra told the Tooth-Soldiers, including Tral, to rest, while he himself prepared to chat with someone, inquire about the situation in Ratchet, and secretly investigate Baine Bloodhoof's work.
"Guides, those guys are pretty good. They've made things easier for everyone coming and going, and they've brought us a lot of business!" the Goblins crew member replied aggressively.
"A bunch of busybodies." The Orcs's reply was very sullen, and his face was dark.
"They're a bunch of freaks, I don't know where they get all this free time, but I have to say, they've made things a lot easier for me." The human's reply was tinged with disdain, but also expressed a degree of affirmation.
Although some people answered, quite a few others refused to comment or talk. Zul'ra didn't want to pry too much, so he could only stop his visit. However, as he returned to his seat, a voice called out to him from behind.
"Zul'ra Jin?"
"Who are you?" Zul'ra turned around and saw a female Night Elves in a robe standing in the corridor of the airship, looking at her. She had the purple skin unique to Night Elves, and her features were delicate and beautiful. She seemed vaguely familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Don't you remember me?" The female Night Elves looked at Zul'ra, her silver pupils blinking slightly. Zul'ra noticed that there were many companions sitting beside her, and all the Night Elves were staring at her.
