35. The prince and the prisoner

The Sunsail Harbor, the only large port on the territory of the High Elf Empire, is anchored here by the Sunsail Fleet that Quel'Thalas has spent nearly 1,000 years, this fleet of only 42 ships and ships, although it is far inferior in number to the Kurtiras Invincible Fleet that crisscrosses the seas, and even the number of standing ships in Lordaeron cannot reach. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But this is the second-largest fleet in the entire Eastern Continent, because these 42 ships are all magic ships, which even Kurtiras, the most powerful country on the sea, can't do.

But now, this fleet, which was supposed to be at the mouth of the inland river and cooperate with the ground forces to attack the undead, had stayed in Yangfan Harbor for a whole day, and outside the port, a long line of 17 refugees was quickly boarding the ship under the maintenance of the elven sailors.

Silvermoon City has become a battlefield for Quel'Thalas and the Demon Legion, and even the most stubborn people have to choose to leave their homeland under the high intensity of the battle.

They will be sent to the town of Southsea, land in the hills of Hillsbrad, and disperse to the Tallenmir and Arathi Highlands, and a small number of young people with a certain combat ability will be sent to the East Dalon Mill region to temporarily join the Knights of the Silver Hand and hone their martial arts skills on the battlefield of West Darloomir.

When the Sunstrider royal family launches a counterattack, they will be able to enter the Wraith Land through the Elven Gate of Stratholme and cooperate with the royal family to clean up the undead that have been flooded.

This is a big transfer of 70W people, even if the extremely fast Sunsail fleet is running at full capacity, it will take at least 15 days to transport all the people, but after Kael'thas sent a letter to the controller of Kurtilas, Admiral Dailen Prodmore, the controller of the Sunstrider royal family, this wise general who once fought against the Orcs with the High Elves, has replied, saying that the Fourth Fleet of Kurtiras will depart immediately and arrive in Sunsail Harbor in 4 days to assist in the transfer of High Elf civilians.

This is definitely the best news that Prince Kael'thas has heard in these days!

It has been a full 3 days since Darkan detonated the demon portal, and under the infiltration of more and more demons, a quarter of the city on the surface of Silvermoon City has been declared to have fallen, but with the efforts of the Firewing Guards and the Mage Council, the demons still can't open up the spatial passage directly to the Sunwell, so they can only use the most primitive method to attack the Sunwell little by little.

On the southern front of Quel'Salas, the war against the undead has also not stopped, but with the Red Dragon Mage Crassus in charge, the threat of the undead and the casualties of soldiers have been reduced to an acceptable level.

But this is not enough to satisfy Kael'thas , the Sunchaser is now in a two-front combat situation, and His Royal Highness the prince knows very well that the barely maintained Silvermoon City is based on the fact that the elven mages do not hesitate to destroy the city to block the progress of the demons, but the energy of the mages is limited, so he must find a proper way before the mages collapse.

His Royal Highness the Prince took his eyes back from the civilians who were waiting to board the ship, their faces were sad, he turned around, the fiery red robes, outlined a floating shadow in the wind, Kael'thas stretched out his hand, and with a light stroke in the air, a silver-white portal appeared in front of him, His Royal Highness hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the portal.

The Mana Cage, which is a cage used by the High Elves to hold dangerous people, is different from ordinary prisons, there are no walls in the cage to prevent escape or exit, it is a special confinement place composed of one pure white sphere after another, and inside the sphere is a forbidden space, without any magical elements.

There are four huge electrodes standing in the four directions of the south, south, and north, and the blue electric light is wound on the electrodes, and finally flows into the surface of the sphere, and the prisoners who are imprisoned in the sphere will be stimulated by a strong current as long as they touch the surface of the sphere, which is simply painful.

However, the elves designed this torture in the first place, and the symbolism was far greater than the practical meaning, and before Dick settled in it, there were less than 20 prisoners in this prison the size of three football fields, which is still the number of prisoners from more than 2,000 years ago to the present.

The imprisoned paladin was stripped of all armor and defenses, wearing only a thin shirt, and sat in the center of the mana cage, the elves were polite to the paladin who had helped them, and the mana cage had a rudimentary set of tables and chairs. ,

When Kael'thas silver portal lit up in the prison, Dick was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, pipe in his mouth, and His Royal Highness the Prince stepped out of the portal to see Dick's undashing back.

"Knight Dick... On behalf of my father, I want to say sorry to you. ”

Kael'thas waved his hand to unleash a large soundproof barrier, pondered for a moment, and said, "Quel'Thalas shouldn't have done this to a warrior who helped us. ”

"While you're apologizing... But I know you're not going to let me out, are you? ”

Dick didn't look back, after Kael'thas apologized, his lazy voice came out, and at the same time, there was a spicy white smoke, Dick's face was shrouded in this white smoke, and it looked a little blurred, but because he lowered his head, he couldn't see his specific expression.

In the face of Dick's questioning, Kael'thas was silent, and after more than ten seconds, the handsome elven prince spoke again,

"Yes, Mr. Dick, some of your thoughts... It's too dangerous for the Sunstriders, so I can't let you out until this war is over. ”

Hearing Kael'thas explain, Dick shook his head, and his lazy voice turned to a faint mockery,

"The war is over?With the wisdom of His Highness, do you really have hope for this war?Darkan has tied the spatial rift and the defensive rune together, if you want to end the demon's attack, you have to destroy the defensive rune, but you can't do that, once the undead army of Arthas is fully pressed, even Crassus will not be able to protect the stability of the front line. ”

The paladin stood up from his chair, he turned his head and lifted his unshaven face, his squinted eyes full of sharp light, and he looked at Kael'thas with a dangerous smile curled into the corners of his mouth.

"Kael'thas, do you know? It seems to me that you and your country are now rats stuffed into bellows, you can't move forward, you can't go back, you want to keep both the sunwell and the land, you want too much, but you can exchange it for too little, if I'm not mistaken, the situation in Silvermoon City is now very difficult to hold onto, right?"

Kael'thas ignored Dick's impolite words, and he looked at Dick with a strange gaze on his hand with the golden staff of Quel'Salas, and after a full minute, His Royal Highness let out a long sigh.

"Dick... You don't understand the meaning of the Well of the Sun to the High Elves, and my father and I didn't know that destroying the Well of the Sun would restore the current bad situation to its previous state, but after the foundation of this Quel'Thalas's founding state was destroyed, the entire High Elves would not be far from collapse. ”

But Kael'thas did not impress Dick or arouse even the slightest curiosity on his part, and he smiled exaggeratedly at His Royal Highness, cleared his throat, and whispered.

"The foundation of the Well of the Sun is the first generation of ancestors of the Sunstriders 7,000 years ago, the eternal well water that the upper elven lord Darth Rema-Sunstrider who experienced the battle of the ancients smuggled out of the Elven Empire, this treasure from the origin of the world of Azeroth, from the moment it fell into the Well of the Sun, it has been constantly exuding pure energy outward, Quel'Salas is called the Magic Country, and it is also because of the existence of this pure energy. ”

"But the Well of the Sun is not a complete Well of Eternity after all, the energy it emits is very single, and its manifestation is magic, the concentration of magical elements in the entire Quel'Salas is higher than that of other parts of the entire world, in the first 1000 years, this magic has protected you from living here, but in the next 5000 years, all the High Elves have lived in such a high-concentration magical environment, and your body has been changed by this magic!"

"Your Royal Highness, you said I didn't understand the meaning of the Well of the Sun to the High Elves... I know better than you what the destruction of the Well of the Sun will do to your lives, the High Elves seldom travel and live, because you can no longer tolerate the barren elemental concentrations of the outside world, you are like addicts who suck the blood well, if you lose the energy of the Well of the Sun, your body and mind will collapse and become a desperate walking corpse in pursuit of magic. ”

Dick's face rose again, a strange brilliance blooming on his face, and he tilted his head to look at Kael'thas,

"So, am I right?

Kael'thas subconsciously took two steps back, and for the first time an expression of disbelief swelled up on his handsome, elegant and reserved face, and he pointed at Dick, trembling his arms, but he couldn't say a word.

What Dick said is a secret that only the Sunseeker royal family and a very small number of archmages who have studied energy know about it in the entire Quel'Thalas, and it can be said that this secret is already the biggest secret buried under Quel'Thalas's political arena.

"You... Who the hell are you!"

Kael'thas took two deep breaths to calm down, he looked at Dick, his eyes full of vigilance, "An ordinary paladin, it is impossible to know this! Who are you! What do you have to do with the Cadores of Nodashir!"

"I have nothing to do with them. ”

Dick shrugged his shoulders and pointed to Kael'thas at the pure white orb outside his body.

"If I can propose the destruction of the Sunwell, it means that I naturally have a solution to the High Elves' addiction, but you know that your father can't make up his mind at all, so tell me, Prince Kael'thas, what can you do to protect your people?"

"Bang!"

When he heard Dick say that he had a way, Kael'thas immediately took two steps forward and put his hands on the surface of the mana cage, and the light blue electric light instantly wrapped around his palm, but it was blocked by a thin layer of mana enchantment, and there was no way to hurt Kael'thas at all.

His Royal Highness looked at Dick, the expression on his handsome face changed violently, and finally he took off his prince's seal from his waist and pasted it on the operating table next to the mana cage, and the pure white mana barrier was lowered, and there was no longer any cover between Dick and Kael'thas.

"You say you have a solution to the symptoms of addiction? If you really have a solution, then I'll go crazy with you!"

Dick placed his left hand on his unshaven chin, rubbed it, and grinned.

"Deal!"
