The Horde didn't have the strength to threaten the Alliance, let alone their position.
As a great leader, Sal's charisma was unquestionable. He abided by his principles and couldn't bring himself to ask Duque for territory, especially on the eastern front where the Horde didn't participate.
Being principled was Sal's strength, but it was also Sal's weakness.
If he was more ambitious, the Horde might be more aggressive and have a wider territory than it was now. Conversely, Duque wouldn't have allowed the Horde to exist until now.
After receiving news of the Horde's internal strife, Jaina immediately went to find Duque through the portal.
"How will the Alliance deal with it? Theramore is already under martial law. "
In this life, Jaina didn't have any sympathy for the Orcs because Duque deliberately tricked her when she was young. It was even more impossible for her to have an unclear relationship with Sal like in history.
If Theramore had been established for her own cause, after she became Queen of Bakur Tiras and moved the focus of Bakur Tiras to Hidden Treasure Bay under Duque's suggestion, Theramore's position changed.
Now, Theramore was not only a window of communication between the Alliance and the Horde, but also a bridgehead for the Alliance to invade the Horde's territory when necessary. Apart from retaining the necessary functions of military logistics and a trading port, Theramore was purely a stronghold.
Faced with Jaina's question, Duque smiled and shook his head. "The Horde's current conflict is just the inevitable result of their expansion being suppressed. In fact, solving the conflict is very simple. As long as there is enough territory to settle the excess Orcs who migrate from Nagrand and let them live and develop, then nothing will happen. "
Jaina immediately understood Duque's position. Her pretty face was full of cold sneers. "If the Horde's territory is not enough, the Alliance has the obligation to fight for new territory for them? If it's not enough, do we have to cut our own flesh and feed it to these green-skinned creatures? "
After all, they were the leaders of the Alliance, not the chiefs of the Horde. How could they do something stupid and give away their own territory just for the survival needs of the Horde radicals and their endless greed for territory?
It could be said that fifteen years after the Beastmen arrived at the Kalimdor Continent, Duque had been secretly restricting the development of the Beastmen, and it had finally paid off.
Duque's plan was very big, and no one in the tribe noticed. By the time Sal and the others found out, the Alliance had already stopped the development of the tribe.
In the Kalimdor continent, there were many ownerless lands. Whoever could occupy it first and stabilize it would develop well. Moreover, Duque and Saar both knew that if Azeroth hadn't been threatened by so many evil forces, the Alliance and the Horde would have already started a war.
Since there was no way to start a war, the game between the Alliance and the Horde would be reflected in their own development. The Tribe's population was small, and their economic foundation was even worse. They were destined to need to develop at a faster pace in order to obtain strength that was close to that of the Alliance.
The original history was that the Lordaeron continent was completely destroyed, and the Alliance's strength was greatly reduced. The Horde took the opportunity to catch up.
Duque's appearance not only saved the Lordaeron continent, but even revived the three destroyed kingdoms of Lordaeron, Alterac, and Stromgard.
Coupled with all kinds of black technology and economic policies that transcended the era, the Alliance's economic strength and military strength were far above the Horde's after ten years.
That made Sal even more afraid to start a war.
However, the situation had now changed.
The influx of more than two million Orcs from Draenor had indeed greatly increased the population of the Horde, but it had also brought a heavy burden to the people's livelihood. The continuous natural disasters, as well as the Calamity Army and other dark forces causing trouble, made the Orcs who had escaped the destruction of Draenor feel like they had just escaped the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.
When the cataclysm broke out, the internal contradictions that had been accumulating for a long time were finally fully exposed.
Orgrimmar, and even the entire Horde, were now like a powder keg. With just a little spark, there would be a big explosion that would blow the Horde into pieces.
"Does Sal dare to lead the Horde to war with the Alliance?" Jaina asked.
Duque shook his head. "It's precisely because Sal is rational and is the Orc who knows the Alliance the best in the entire Horde that he doesn't dare. On the contrary, ignorance and recklessness make him fearless! "
Jaina immediately understood what Duque meant, and the sarcasm on her face intensified. "Those Orcs whose brains are still stuck in the prehistoric era really think that the Alliance is the sparsely populated Draenei?"
Traditional Orcs were extremely barbaric.
If they were unhappy, they would fight!
If they were unhappy, they would fight!
Anyway, they would fight for territory every day. How could there be no deaths?
If they lost, they would admit defeat.
If the other party did not let them go, they would simply exterminate the Horde.
Over thousands of years, countless clans had disappeared in the long river of history, and countless ambitious Orcs had become independent from the old clans and created new ones.
Back then, the Orcs had established the old Horde, launched a war against the Draenei, and won. In fact, there were several important reasons.
First, the absolute value of the population was disproportionate. Before Draenor was destroyed, the Horde had a population of at least tens of millions. And the Draenei were automatically chased by Kil 'jaeden's Burning Legion, and had never exceeded a million.
The Draenei had lost too much technology, and only had Holy Light magic left.
This allowed the Horde's population advantage to play a role.
In addition, Kil 'jaeden had given Gul' dan evil magic and nurtured a large number of [Warlocks] among the Orcs, which largely offset the advantage of the Holy Light.
And now?
The Alliance had popularized modern weapons on Earth with TNT explosives as the core, and there was also the magical black technology of the Flying Fortress and Flying Battleship. Not to mention that the Horde had less than three million people, unless all the Warriors in the Horde were professionals who had stepped into the Hero Realm, even if there were ten times this number, they would not be a match for modern artillery.
Was it so easy to produce a Hero Realm expert?
Including the Morning Level Mages, at most, whether it was the Horde or the Alliance, they could only reach four digits.
After hearing Jaina's words, Duque also sneered. "If you want to destroy someone, you must first make them crazy. The Horde is already a crazy train heading towards Hell. No matter what Sal does, it will only delay the speed of their descent into Hell. If we don't fundamentally remove the influence of the traditional Orcs, the Horde is destined to be destroyed. "
As Duque concluded this, Sal, who was in Orgrimmar, turned his head and pointed at a stack of documents. "Do you see this? Even the Horde's reports for recording important events use the Alliance's paper … Do you really think that the Alliance's lead over us is in a single area? No! That's an all-round backwardness. "
"Unfortunately, many little bastards think that even if these technologies are really useful, as long as we defeat the Alliance, we can get all the Alliance's technologies …" Varrock's voice was full of bitterness.
