"So, is this really true?" Aaron murmured after listening to Sylvanas's explanation.
Aaron once thought about finding a place for himself. After all, he can't always be a rootless duckweed. After all, he still needs to have his own place, so that he can have the confidence to participate in all the major events that will happen in the future, instead of participating as an adventurer, which would be difficult to participate in the decision-making level.
Just like this Zul'Aman battle, Aaron relied on Varian's reputation to enter the coalition command headquarters, and could only serve as an observer. Even if they wanted to provide some information to the coalition forces, they had to ask the coalition forces for a chance to speak out.
If you want to change this embarrassing situation, Aaron must have a significant identity. If you want to do this, Aaron must either join a certain force and keep climbing up.
However, according to the political systems of human countries, no matter how outstanding Aaron is, he will only be able to reach the status of Uther, which is great. In the end, he will still be restricted by others and will not be free.
In addition, if Aaron wants to have a say among the Alliance, it needs to control a force that is important enough for the Alliance to join Alliance.
Originally, according to Aaron's plan, if he wanted to do this, he would probably need to plan slowly. If Alliance's power structure did not change significantly, he would have no chance. After all, he could not go against all countries alone, right?
So when will Alliance encounter a big change? Aaron thought about it, probably Third War ten years from now... Thinking of this, Aaron suddenly felt a sense of despair. By then, it would be too late to build up his own basic base.
As for Ya-Mei Trading Company, Aaron never felt that he could rely on this company to sit on the conference table of the Alliance bosses, unless he could expand the scale of the company to the point where Alliance countries could not do without it. In Aaron's view, achieving this goal was no easier than tearing a piece of flesh from the Alliance countries.
Unexpectedly, a territory fell from the sky this time. Aaron remembered all the farming articles he had read at that time, and couldn't wait to get the appointment and go to the new territory to show off his talents immediately.
"Aaron, I need to remind you of a few questions." Sylvanas looked at the gradually brightening smile on Aaron's face and frowned. He was thinking about not reminding Aaron at all, no. After taking a look at Vereesa, Sylvanas still resisted the idea of throwing Aaron out and said, "You don't think you can get a territory no smaller than Silvermoon City without any restrictions, do you?"
Hearing Sylvanas say this, Aaron immediately sobered up a little. As the other party said, even if the peripheral Zeb'Nowa is not counted, Zul'Aman itself is It is a very large territory. Although this land is not really a good place from a livable point of view, there is only one small road connecting it to the outside world, and it is not a small problem to transport supplies in and out. However, the area of this land is enough to make many people covet it.
So the question is, can such a large piece of land be handed over to Aaron without any additional conditions? It is impossible no matter how you think about it. After thinking about it, Aaron calmed down a lot, looked at Sylvanas and asked, "Have you agreed on any conditions now?"
Sylvanas shrugged and said, "I can't get involved in this matter, but according to the news I heard, it seems that both Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas will be sent to your territory. Administrative officer, and you have to wait until, whether it is Lordaeron or Quel'Thalas, there must be many people eyeing this position. Once something goes wrong with you, I am afraid you will have to bear pressure from all aspects."
"I'm quite prepared for this," Aaron smiled. This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing will definitely attract a lot of people's attention, but Aaron has the confidence to stand firm. If he can't even do this, how can he talk about changing Azeroth's future? He might as well commit suicide and ask the big boss behind the scenes if he would be accepted into Halls of Valor.
After nearly ten days of lengthy meetings, Alliance parties finally reached a consensus on a new covenant. Gilneas was determined to leave Alliance after all. Genn left the meeting angrily midway through the meeting and took his children home.
Quel'Thalas and Stromgarde both stayed in the Alliance, but Stromgarde refused to continue to provide funds to the Orcs concentration camp established by Lordaeron on the grounds that it needed to be rebuilt.
Varian said that he could send his subordinates Stonemasons' Guild to Stromgarde to help with the reconstruction. Anyway, the main buildings of Stormwind City have basically been rebuilt, and there is actually no need for a professional team like Stonemasons' Guild to do the rest.
In addition, the other member states of the Alliance have also agreed on the obligations and rights they need to enjoy among themselves. In fact, most of the remaining countries have no plans to withdraw from the alliance. Therefore, after the problems of these three member states with strong withdrawal intentions are resolved, the continued existence of the Alliance is a foregone conclusion, and the remaining cornerstones will become a matter of course.
After the Alliance leaders' meeting, Terenas proposed that this meeting could become a regular practice and that meetings be held regularly in the future, so as to eliminate the differences and contradictions within the Alliance as soon as possible - Needless to say, this suggestion was also made by Aaron.
After that, what was left was to reward the heroes in this war. The craftsmen of Quel'Thalas urgently created a batch of commemorative medals. Alliance gave each person military rank and monetary rewards according to their merits. However, the monetary rewards were not large and were more of an honorary nature.
Aaron won the honorary military rank of lieutenant general for his achievements in killing Akil'zon and Zul'jin and leading a raid on the Hex Lord's Hall (PS: I know that the lieutenant general is Horde's army) title, but Alliance's corresponding military rank is commander, which I think is too strange as a military rank), but that's not what Aaron cares about. The announcement at this ceremony that he will be the lord of the new territory captured by the coalition forces is more important to him.
However, when he was awarded the sword and wheat ears that symbolized the authority of the lord, Aaron's expression was always subtle, while Vereesa, who was watching from the side, kept his head lowered, with a shy blush on the tips of his ears.
As for why the two of them are so strange, we have to mention the conditions that Sun King told Aaron in private: the next lord of the new territory must be a half-elf, and the old fox's calculations are also very similar. Simple: When a half-elf inherits this territory, it is obvious whether he will prefer Quel'Thalas or Lordaeron. When the time comes, this territory will definitely belong to Quel'Thalas.
However, when Anasterian gave Aaron the wheat ears that symbolized the authority of the territory, he did not notice the mysterious smile on the side of Terenas, otherwise he would definitely be more vigilant.
