Three more matches followed: the Silver Hand Squad vs. the Darkspear Squad, the Dwarves Mixed Squad vs. the Tauren Squad, and the Kor'kron Squad vs. the Theramore Mixed Squad.
In the end, the Silver Squad, the Tauren Squad, and the Kor'kron Squad emerged victorious. Vol'jin remained silent, Muradin glared fiercely, and Thrall's expression was calm.
"Due to a bye in the draw, Team Stromgarde automatically qualifies for the top six," Uther announced, eliciting envy and resentment from many.
There are 3 teams in total, and only one team gets a bye. Whoever gets drawn is lucky!
The top six: The Forsaken Squad, the Kirin Tor Squad, the Silver Hand Squad, the Tauren Squad, the Kor'kron Squad, and the Stromgarde Squad.
Uther looked around. "Now we'll rest. The rest of the matches will take place this afternoon. Please come here to draw lots to determine the order of the afternoon's matches."
Jiang Jie chuckled...
The Night Elf had no competitive spirit, and the warriors they sent weren't even their strongest. They accepted defeat without complaint.
The Forsaken team won, which is normal. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this team will definitely make it to the top three.
Two Horde teams advanced to the top six, while the Alliance had three teams, which was fairly evenly matched, considering that the Alliance was significantly stronger than the Horde. This also reflects the bravery of the Horde Warrior.
After the draw, Uther gave a wink, and Jiang Jie stayed behind, along with Admiral Daelin, Bolvar, Sylvanas, Jaina, Muradin, Highlord Falstad, and Modera, among others.
All the Alliance commanders of the Northrend Expedition were present, and all eyes were on Jiang Jie.
"Let me guess... You want to ask about the Forsaken? Are you worried about the Forsaken causing trouble? Or are you worried that I might do something that would harm the Alliance, like... leading the Forsaken to establish a kingdom of the dead?"
Jiang Jie smiled, his expression nonchalant. " Uther, His Faol is your teacher, don't you trust him? Admiral Daelin, my father-in-law, you once fought alongside King Thoradin, don't you trust him? Jaina, and Master Modera, you should all know something about Master Meryl, right? He has existed as Undead for nearly three thousand years, don't you trust him?"
It's not that we don't trust them, it's that we can't trust them.
Uther sighed and said, "Teacher Faol wants to promote the Way of the Holy Light among the Undead. I've seen Holy Light Undead in the Forsaken camp, though few, but it at least proves that Teacher Faol's idea is correct. All beings can believe in the Holy Light; Orcs can, and so can the Undead. However, the Undead and the living are opposed. Death is the deepest fear in everyone's heart. The existence of the Forsaken will inevitably cause panic in the world of the living, and if this continues..."
"If this continues, the living will get used to the Forsaken."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "When the Orcs Ogres appeared, the reactions of the Alliance countries were probably even more panicked and surprised than they are now. Grand Duke Bolvar must have felt this most deeply."
Bolvar nodded, still shaken and terrified as he recalled the scene, "Hundreds of thousands of Orcs, like madmen, poured out of the Dark Portal and destroyed everything! We had never seen such savage, such terrifying creatures. Stormwind City's defenses were as thin as paper; human Warrior were no match for the Orcs. It took at least five fully armed soldiers to deal with one Orcs Warrior, and even then, the outcome was uncertain! When I first saw Orcs, my legs trembled with fear!"
"But now, we've gotten used to the Orcs ' presence. Highlord Tirion has even become friends with the Orcs Eitrigg, and Jaina and Thrall seem to have a good relationship too, right? I've seen humans and Orcs fight side by side, entrusting their lives to each other, in the Gurubashi Arena."
Jiang Jie said, "Although the hatred remains, it is racial hatred. In truth, Orcs and humans are not much different; both are intelligent beings... Admiral Daelin, I know the Orcs killed your eldest son..."
I feel that hatred all too well. But you can't deny that Orcs are intelligent beings too; they can learn our language, our customs, everything about us... Thrall is the best example. It was humans who nurtured Thrall, who created an unprecedentedly Warchief for the Orcs.
Without Thrall, the Orcs might still be in decline, and the new Horde would never have been formed.
No one can deny this.
"If we can get used to the presence of Orcs, why can't we get used to the presence of the Forsaken?"
Jiang Jie said, " Orcs are different, but many of the Forsaken are your friends and relatives from your previous lives. Apart from their physical form, what makes them different from us? They also have souls, intelligence, and memories of their past lives. Why can't we allow them to exist? Think about it, if your relatives and friends die, you will be very sad... but if they are resurrected in another form and can live forever, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
So, is this another form of immortality?
A thoughtful expression appeared on Sylvanas's face.
The High Elf have a deep understanding of life and death.
They were once part of the Night Elf, but because they were far from the World Tree Nordrassil and the Well of Eternity, they not only lost their ability to live forever, but their physical condition also deteriorated. Now, they are not even as good as humans, let alone Night Elf.
Their lifespan is getting shorter and shorter.
The generation of Dath'Remar can live for another four or five thousand years, while the previous Sun King lived for more than three thousand years.
By their generation, most High Elf would not live more than two thousand years.
Their next generation will only live for about a thousand years.
Generation after generation, fewer and fewer.
Perhaps one day, they will become as few as humans.
Those who have never possessed something will yearn for it, like short-lived humans;
But having once possessed something and then lost it is not just about longing; it also involves a deeper level of fear and... resentment.
Who doesn't want to live a long life, or even immortality?
The sheer number of people lured by the promise of immortality, joining the Cult of the Damned and serving under the Lich King, speaks volumes.
The Cult of the Damned has never been completely eradicated because everyone desires immortality.
In the past, there was fear and dread. But as more and more people become accustomed to and understand the existence of the Undead, perhaps more and more people will yearn to become Undead?
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; their whereabouts are unknown. Even though Priest proclaim, " The Holy Light is with us," who can see it?
What can compare to true survival?
The Undead are a continuation of the living.
How many people can resist this temptation?
