Chapter 409: Night Elf Republic?

In the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, Malfurion Stormrage was undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the mortal camp. He made a major contribution to the final expulsion of Sargeras and the Burning Legion.

Malfurion studied under the demigod Cenarius of the forest. He is the first Druid in Azeroth's history, and he is also the most powerful Druid so far, not even one of them.

The backbone of the Cenarion Council, such as Fandral Staghelmet, Koda Steelclaw, Shane Moonclaw and Renza Gianthoof, are all disciples and grandchildren taught by Malfurion.

Regardless of the original history, Malfurion squatted in the den and slept all day long. In fact, he did not touch fish, but assisted the green dragon in the Emerald Dream to maintain the dream world and curb the expansion of the nightmare forces.

According to the barrage, in the game plot they knew, Malfurion's role was consciously compressed, and his strength also plummeted.

In the final analysis, Malfurion is too strong, and other races cannot be played without cutting him.

As long as there is a forest, he can theoretically summon an entire army of treants and ancient war trees by himself. How the **** do they fight?

Compared with Malfurion's personal strength at the peak of mortals, his ability to govern is not so outstanding.

...But one thing to say, no matter how shabby it is, it is much better than Tyrande.

With Jarod's return, the disheartened Maiev rekindled his fighting spirit, determined to change the status quo of the night elves being raised and abandoned by Tyrande.

But it is not easy to achieve this goal. Tyrande, who is still addicted to food, will not obediently hand over the authority.

Although Malfurion was very embarrassed by Tyrande's way of holding on to power, he was still his own stupid woman, so he couldn't turn his elbows outward.

After the last gathering of all races in Azeroth, the conflict between the conservative and progressive factions of the shadow elves finally officially broke out.

This internal dispute was jokingly called by the barrage as a tear between two strong women.

Although Garrod, Staghelmet, and Malfurion are also determined to change the status quo of the night elves, except for Staghelm who is more radical, the other two are honest people with a relatively meek personality.

The ones who really charge forward are nothing more than Tyrande and Maiev, the two lionesses who do not give an inch to each other.

After suppressing Illidan Stormrage for 10,000 years in the Warden's Prison, Maiev saw all of Tyrande's deeds in the past 10,000 years.

With the return of her only relative, Jarod, with his wife, Maiev, who has rekindled his fighting spirit, finally can't bear Tyrande's incompetence.

According to the information sent back by the intelligence staff of Backlight Blade, there are still many female priests in the Luna belief system who firmly believe in Maiev, believing that she is the true leader who can lead the Church of Luna and the night elves back to their peak.

Tyrande? It's just an old king who descended from the sky with Elune's favor.

If there is no such thing as Tyrande, relying on Maiev's ability and qualifications, the authority of the High Priest cannot fall on other people.

Although Tyrande has promoted many loyal young confidants in the Church of the Moon God over the past ten thousand years, those veteran priests have always been dissatisfied with her and have always listened to her voice.

After Maiev officially returned, she shouted the slogan of innovation and waved her arms, and those senior priests who had been waiting for a long time joined her without hesitation.

Luna priests loyal to Tyrande still sit on Mount Hyjal, while those who follow Maiev are stationed in Astrana in Ashenvale with their spiritual leader.

Although both sides intend to control the scale of the conflict, if this internal friction continues, it may split the still united night elves into two countries with different ideas from each other.

This kind of result was obviously not what Malfurion wanted to see.

It was a matter of state affairs, and Malfurion couldn't help but continue to sideline, so he finally decided to stand up and resolve this internal dispute.

After secretly venturing with Jarod, he first made a suggestion.

Since the fall of the Night Empire, the night elves in the post-Azshara era have never established a legally unified country, and Malfurion and Tyrande are only nominal leaders of the race.

When faced with challenges from other authoritative figures in the race, even if the two wanted to use their power to forcibly suppress them, they would not be justified.

Tyrande is absolutely to blame for this bizarre political system being able to last for so many years.

In Malfurion's view, the night elves don't need to have a king over their heads, so the political system of empires and kingdoms is impossible to realize.

Garald obtained a lot of information about the current world when he communicated with Sharlayan in Azsuna, and learned that the kingdom of the high elves has such a special governing body as the parliament.

no king? It doesn't matter, there is a parliamentary coalition to govern.

Tyrande and Maiev do not accept each other, and if they continue to quarrel, it will only harm the interests of the night elves.

That being the case, it is better to put both of them into the framework of the parliament to form a new political system that decides the direction of the country by voting.

Hearing this, Sharlayan looked at Staghelmet with a strange expression.

"...Parliamentary system? If the leader is elected by the people, it will be a proper republic."

"Elected leader? A republic?"

Lu Helmet froze for a moment, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The corner of Sharlayan's mouth twitched: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

"Do not…"

Lu Helmet rubbed his bushy beard thoughtfully: "Maybe... is it possible?"

Neither Malfurion nor Jarod was a professional political leader, and the political system they conceived was not perfect, and there were many loopholes.

The biggest problem is who should designate the appointment, dismissal and replacement of leaders.

If there is no effective and mature plan, even if a parliament is formed, it will eventually turn into an embarrassing situation where chickens talk with ducks.

Unlike the kingdom system of Quel'Thalas, the republic system was learned by Sharlayan from the barrage, and theoretically there is no such system in Azeroth at this stage.

The core of a republic is the election of leaders. It does not pay attention to such vain things as the divine right of the king and the mandate of the monarch, and there is no hereditary ruling power. The public opinion is the foundation of the national system.

In the different world where the barrage is located, the history of the republic can be traced back to a country called ancient Greece.

In their view, the night elves' current loose regime without a king does have the basis for realizing a republic.

But only if... the current nominal leader of the night elves accepts the consequences of losing the election.

It is you, Tyrande.

Malfurion wanted to gather all the elves, and his purpose was to brainstorm and use the wisdom of these distant relatives to help the night elves formulate a new political system that could be maintained stably for a long time.

Among the many elf leaders, Malfurion can be regarded as the most humble one.

But the xenophobic thoughts engraved in the bones of the elves will still affect some of his decisions.

Just like now, when encountering a political crisis, Malfurion's first consideration is not humans, dwarves, gnomes, and tauren and other foreign races, but to seek assistance from relative races such as high elves, high elves, and nightborne.

Malfurion must sit in Nordrassil, with him and Jarod, he can barely suppress Tyrande and Maiev who are in conflict.

But suppression is not a long-term solution after all, and the conflicts that have accumulated and deepened will eventually erupt again one day.

"emmmmmm..."

Sharlayan said with some hesitation: "Don't rush to draw conclusions, first talk about the specific time of this elf gathering."

Deer Helmet shook his head, and temporarily put aside some of the thoughts engraved in his mind~lightnovelpub.net~ A month later, it will be held in the dreamland of Valsharah, and all members of the elves can elect representatives join. "

Sharlayan nodded solemnly: "Understood, I will pass the news on to Prince Kael'thas."

"Even if he can't be there in person due to complicated affairs in the kingdom, Quel'Thalas will send a heavyweight representative to attend the meeting."

Lu Helmet sighed softly: "I hope that day will come sooner, I am really fed up with the oppressive atmosphere during this time."

Watching Staghelmet leading the delegation leave the Unicorn Village and head towards the northern part of the forest, Sharlayan looked at their backs and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Parliament, a republic..."

Valeera beside Sarlayan raised her eyebrows: "What? Do you really have plans?"

"That's right."

Sharlayan recovered his senses and smiled noncommittally: "It's too early to think about it now, let's make a long-term plan after the enthronement ceremony is over."
