Behind Closed Doors
When news of the envoys from Stormwind and Kul Tiras leaving Silvermoon City without a word reached Zul'Aman by Broken-Tooth, Zul'ra had barely managed to appease Tarecgosa, and he wasn't particularly surprised by the news. ☞💔 ☠🌷
"It seems that the Black Dragonflight has a deep-seated fear of other dragons!" Zul'ra was not surprised by the departure of the Stormwind and Kul Tiras envoys, because that was why he brought Tarecgosa to the vicinity of Silvermoon City, and even encouraged Malygos to seek help from Silvermoon City.
Zul'ra's promotion of Blue Dragonflight near Silvermoon City was a warning to Countess Katrana Prestor, who was serving as Stormwind's envoy and was also Onyxia, the Black Dragonflight.
The female Black Dragonflight's fear of other dragons was deeper than Zul'ra had imagined; she left without even saying goodbye. However, considering what Neltharion the Black Dragonflight King had done to the Blue Dragonflight during the War of the Ancients, Zul'ra wasn't surprised.
Katrana's departure was not unexpected, but the fact that she and the Kul Tiras emissary left without saying goodbye was quite interesting to Zul'ra, suggesting that the Black Dragonflight's influence within the Alliance was about to expand further.
The Black Dragonflight has a very deep connection with the Old God. The Black Dragonflight's parasitic expansion within the Alliance means that the Alliance will inevitably undergo a certain degree of deviation in the future.
The dark forces are parasitic within the Alliance, so when this force erupts, the Horde will have an excuse to unite with neutral forces to attack the Alliance. Zul'ra believes this is an opportunity, but it also carries risks. The dark forces may use the Alliance as a front to launch a major offensive, potentially triggering a massive crisis, even the destruction of the world.
Just as Zul'ra was contemplating the future situation, Sylvanas arrived in Zul'Aman, following closely behind Broken-Tooth, and went straight to the point in making her demands of him.
I need your help!
"I am not your servant, Queen Sylvanas." Zul'ra held enough leverage, so he was very relaxed when facing Sylvanas, even joking that as long as the Sin'dorei didn't join the Alliance, joining the Horde wasn't necessary.
"But we are allies, aren't we!" Sylvanas's face darkened as she faced Zul'ra. Even her family in Silvermoon City treated her coldly, yet she had to rack her brains for the future of the Sin'dorei, even enduring the humiliation from this Trolls.
"Then I have no obligation to serve you. I only need to safeguard the Horde's base in the Eastern Kingdoms. Also, Sylvanas, don't forget the request you made to the Warchief when you joined the Horde." Zul'ra smiled and raised her right index finger. The Horde accepted the Forsaken for two reasons: first, to maintain the balance of power in the Eastern Kingdoms, and second, to find out the whereabouts of the brown-skinned Orcs.
"I haven't forgotten, I'm working on it, so I need help!" Sylvanas gritted her teeth. The whereabouts of the brown-skinned Orcs was also the reason she needed the Sin'dorei to join the Horde. Only a few people in Quel'Thalas knew how to enter Outland, where the brown-skinned Orcs lived.
"Then tell me, why should I help you?" Zul'ra looked at Sylvanas, who was clenching her teeth, and winked with a smile.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Sylvanas couldn't help but furrow her brow.
"Amani lacks nothing right now. We are hurrying to land on the northern continent to deal with the the Scourge." Zul'ra turned his gaze away. After the war to retake Silvermoon City ended, the Giant Deer Army had already set off for Northrend, and he believed that there would be results soon.
"You need my army's help?" Sylvanas's gaze darkened. The Scourge, something she was destined to end, but she was currently preoccupied with her own affairs.
"Tell me first, what do you need me to do?" Zul'ra raised her eyes, not taking the initiative to speak. The Giant Deer Army in Northrend would certainly not be able to achieve enough results against the the Scourge, but her purpose in sending them to Northrend was not really to attack the the Scourge.
"Help me get the Sin'dorei to join the Horde," Sylvanas requested. She hadn't been able to do this Zul'ra, but the situation was different now. Although the Alliance had faced changes, she had to ensure the Sin'dorei joined the Horde as soon as possible.
"In return, the Forsaken and the Sin'dorei must stand on my side in future wars between our peoples. Even if they don't, they cannot be our enemies." Zul'ra pondered for a moment and then made his own demands.
"The war of the Trolls." Sylvanas was somewhat taken aback. She hadn't expected Zul'ra to propose such a condition—a war between the Trolls races. Did this refer to the Darkspear, or other Trolls?
"Yes, and I don't believe your promises. Your reputation is bad. I demand a written commitment from you. On the other hand, I will also sign the same document with Silvermoon City." Zul'ra made her demands clear and solemn.
"Okay." Sylvanas was a little confused about what Zul'ra wanted to do, but after thinking for a long time, she decided to agree to the condition. She didn't necessarily have to help Zul'ra, as long as she didn't join his opposing camp and remained neutral. As for his doubts about her credibility, she couldn't be bothered to argue about it.
After much negotiation, Sylvanas agreed to not participate in the Trolls civil war, and even to side with Zul'ra during Trolls war, in exchange for Amani's help in bringing the Sin'dorei into the Horde. This deal was written down and signed by both Sylvanas and Zul'ra.
After signing the documents, Sylvanas immediately requested that Zul'ra use his abilities to spread the news of the Sin'dorei joining the Horde throughout the Alliance lands, especially Dalaran, where the message must reach.
Sylvanas's schemes were extremely ruthless; she used false information to sow discord between the Alliance and Quel'Thalas, especially targeting Dalaran, where a significant number of Elves resided.
Once the Alliance believes that the Sin'dorei of Quel'Thalas have joined the Horde, the Elves living in Dalaran will face an awkward and even dangerous situation. They will have only two choices: either return to their homeland or sever all ties with their homeland and become part of the Alliance.
Zul'ra was delighted with Sylvanas's ruthless plan and quickly wrote to the Syndicate in Durnholde, asking them to help make it happen and spread the news to the Alliance and Dalaran that the Sin'dorei had joined the Horde.
While Zul'ra and Sylvanas were pulling strings behind the scenes, a major event occurred in Silvermoon City: Prince Kael'thas, far away in Outland, sent back a message that ultimately determined Quel'Thalas's allegiance.
That's all for tonight, I have something to do today.
