What else could Tirion say?
He could only nod dejectedly.
In his mind, most of the members of the Tribe had been deceived by Garrus, and did not deserve to die.
This was the difference between the minds of the clergy and most of the rulers.
It had to be admitted that the High Pure who believed in the Holy Light could not represent everyone. In this world, the evil and the good were the minority. Perhaps some people admired the holiness of the High Pure and envied the freedom of the Great Demon King, but not many could do that.
After all, the world was ruled by mortals.
This was also the reason why most religious armed forces did not have a good ending, both in ancient and modern times. Either the royal power overrode the divine power, and the divine power became an ornament. Or the divine power controlled the royal power, and the royal power always secretly resisted.
The decision of the Throne Conference was made public six hours after Theramore was destroyed by the magic bomb.
In the magic mirror, Sally Whitemane's pretty face was full of frost as she sat upright.
"A few days ago, the Alliance launched the war in advance without a declaration of war. At first, the Alliance showed restraint, hoping to confirm through diplomatic channels whether this was an individual act or an all-out war initiated by the Tribe. However, the Great Chief of the Tribe, Garrus Hellscream, firmly ignored it. "
"Six hours ago, the Tribe used the treasure [Focusing Rainbow] stolen from the Blue Dragon Army to create a terrible magic bomb and used the cruelest method to destroy the Alliance's commercial port, Theramore, on the Kalimdor Continent. It was originally used for trading with the Tribe."
"Thirty years ago, millions of orcs launched the first War of the Dark Portal and destroyed all of Stormwind. The second War of the Dark Portal swept through the entire Eastern Kingdom. Nearly ten countries were captured and their territories were ravaged. Tens of millions of people were killed or injured, and tens of millions were displaced. "
At this time, the middle-aged and old people listening in front of the magic mirror, no matter men or women, unconsciously clenched their teeth and fists …
"Five years after the War of the Dark Portal, Ner 'zhul, as the Great Chief of the Tribe, once again led the Tribe through the Dark Portal. They were all wiped out by the brave soldiers of the Watchtower near the Dark Portal. "
"Even though the old Rotterdam Kingdom once turned more than 100,000 Orcs into slaves, and used the uncivilized method of slavery to dominate the Orcs, that was not enough for the Orcs to shout 'Orcs will never be slaves' and glorify themselves as victims."
"Under the threat of the Scourge Army, who was the enemy of all living beings, the Alliance Commander at that time, Duke Marcus, gave up on hunting down the Orcs with the utmost kindness. He put aside his past grudges and joined forces to deal with the Scourge Army. We even lent them ships to cross the Endless Sea and reach the new continent, Kalimdor, to start a new life. "
Speaking up to here, Sally's tone suddenly became stern, her beautiful eyebrows raised coldly, "But how did the tribe treat our alliance?"
"The Horde trampled on the goodwill of the Alliance with the greatest cruelty. Their target was very clear. They wanted to be like their fathers and start a war to wipe out the Alliance. They want to destroy our civilization and kill all humans, dwarves, gnomes, blood elves, night elves, draenei, naga, qiraji insect people, murlocs and other vassal races. "
Unknowingly, all the people of the Alliance started to show their veins and gnash their teeth.
"All the leaders of the Alliance, after an emergency discussion at the Throne Conference, finally unanimously passed the resolution of 'waging a full-scale war against the Horde'!"
"All active soldiers and reservists who are on leave are to immediately cancel their leave and report to the nearest military station."
"The Alliance has officially expanded the scope of reservists and plans to recruit 3 million reservists. At the same time, all adult men above the age of 16 and below the age of 50 must undergo military training three times a week, each time not less than two hours. Girls of the same age who voluntarily accept military training will receive special subsidies from the Alliance. For details, please consult the local civil affairs department … "
There were still many announcements from the Alliance. For most of the people, the previous ones were already enough.
There were originally less than a third of the rational and wait-and-see factions, but this time, it was completely ignited.
Because this was a huge explosion of new and old hatred.
When the news spread, it was already past five in the evening. The recruitment offices of the Alliance, which were already bustling with noise, suddenly exploded.
In Stormwind, the recruitment offices of small cities like Goldflash City and East Valley Lumberyard, which were now upgraded to small cities, the lines of people were as long as 500 meters.
And in places like Stormwind City, Rapids Fort, Alterac, Silvermoon City, and Iron Furnace Fort, which had been ravaged by the Orcs in the past, it was even more exaggerated. Five lines of people lined up five kilometers away.
Just like that, the lines of people occupied the streets and alleys of such a large city. Even though it had clearly affected many shops and pedestrians, everyone was extremely understanding.
Because every pair of eyes was bright and full of vigor, with the blazing flames of revenge.
They were silent. No one made any noise. At most, they would do their best to lower their voices and whisper.
They all knew how their current comfortable life came about.
They also knew that the Alliance army did not want unorganized and undisciplined hooligans.
Every young man displayed their firm will to the world with such a face.
Among the people in the queue, there was no lack of middle-aged men with gray temples. They stood straighter and straighter than those young men. With one look, it was obvious that they were once retired soldiers.
The tribal invasion in the first year of the Dark Portal had caused the deaths of tens of millions of humans, dwarves, and elves. The pain of the previous generation was still imprinted in the deepest depths of the souls of the older generation.
Silence did not mean that they were forgotten.
Even for the shortest lived humans, 25 years was not enough for this group of people to all grow old and die.
The soldiers who had fought on the front lines 29 years ago had now become the pillars of the entire Alliance. Those who still remained in the Alliance army were at least colonels. Those who left the Alliance army, under the military conversion system set up by Duque, received almost free decommissioned ships, and often had a higher starting point than others.
For example, retired colonels and lieutenants could receive different grades of ships according to their military ranks for traveling business without mortgage. At the same time, the ship could be repaid interest-free in installments ranging from five to ten years. In addition, there was also insurance: if the ship really sank in an accident, there was no need to pay.
And the veterans who were disabled in the war also received enough social security. They would be assigned to various places. They would either be taught knowledge and culture and then join the civil affairs department or become a local patrol.
Children who lost their fathers or even their mothers in the war would receive a high monthly subsidy that was enough for their daily needs.
