173 Blood Elf General
Xia's slick answer made Nathanos choke
"Thea, you weren't so articulate before." He touched his nose in a smug manner. "I miss the shy you used to be - or you used to be cuter."
Thea replied without showing weakness. "General Nathanos wouldn't have had to break the casserole like this before."
"Okay, let's leave this matter aside for now." Nathanos was also very able to take it down, and he directly asked him what he was most concerned about at the moment. "Did you see Simon when you came to the Plaguelands this time?"
Nathanos's words made Thea stunned - good, why did he mention Simon? But in this matter, she didn't think there was any need to hide it, so she nodded. "Yes."
As soon as Nathanos heard her expected answer, he immediately went on to ask, "Then have you been with him all this time?" ”
Thea frowned. "It's not! We only met by chance in the Western Plaguelands, and I didn't stay with him all the time. Then we were separated before we entered the Eastern Plaguelands. ”
Listening to her answer, Nathanos knew that his intention to get some information out of Thea's mouth was in vain. But he still didn't give up and asked, "Do you know where that Simon guy is now?" ”
Thea wondered how much Nathanos cared about Simon, but she replied truthfully, "I don't know where he went?" The last person to see him was supposed to be Alex. ”
Nathanos frowned in annoyance, remembering what was on his mind, and even unconsciously biting the nail of his thumb. Just as he came back to his senses and wanted to say something, Alex pushed the door open and walked in. "General, your bat is ready."
Listened to this. Nathanos glanced at Alex coldly - this guy's efficiency was surprisingly high this time. But he didn't show his face, just smiled at Xia and spread his hands: "Well, we still have time to spend time here in the Plaguelands anyway. I don't have to rush either. Then, Thea, I hope you'll be here when I come back. He took Thea's hand and kissed it gently.
"Of course I will, General." Thea replied calmly.
"Oh. That's right. Nathanos seemed to remember something as he walked out the door. Turning back to Xia Ya, he said, "According to the original plan, I'm afraid that the reinforcements of the blood elves will arrive in these two days." I heard that the general they took the lead this time seems to be your acquaintance...... I think you're definitely very impressed with him. ”
Nathanos' words sent a palpitation in Thea's heart. "I don't understand what you're talking about. General Nathanos. I don't know any blood elves. ”
"Don't understand? Never mind. Nathanos smiled. Anyway, you'll understand when the time comes. Still, do you think he'll be as talkative as I am? ”
"Have a nice trip." Thea didn't want to talk about it anymore. Although she didn't admit it, in her heart she was almost sure who Nathanos was talking about. If that's the person. That's really annoying, it can't be worse!!
How could she have forgotten that hateful face! All her happiness and all her hopes were wiped out by the blood-stained light.
Nathanos' face was gloomy, and she knew what she was saying. Then he let out a long laugh and turned away.
After a while, Alex returned to the office, Ya was still embarrassed, and couldn't help but care, "Thea." You okay? ”
A grin gripped of her face. "It's alright, Alex, if it's okay, I'd like to go back to Silver Dawn first. You know. I just came back and a lot of things are not clear. It will take some time to get used to. ”
"Okay, I'll send you over, and by the way, I'll hand over the supplies to you."
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
Fortunately, with Alex's help, Xia quickly received the supplies provided by the Forsaken, which was an excellent completion of the first task after taking office.
And for the next few days, Nathanos did not return. Instead, the Dark Queen's official assignment was issued—and Alex officially took over Nathanos. This also relieved Commander Maxwell, who had been worried about this. And Sia, who was busy taking over and learning the logistics management of Silver Dawn, was gradually too busy to put Nathanos's parting words in the back of her mind.
Avena and Carré, who came with her to Silver Dawn, and Rowling also temporarily settled in the chapel inn because Avena insisted on staying with Thea.
There were a few hiccups in between - in the days of idleness, the inquisitive Avena was eager to learn magic, but strangely enough, although Carré and Rowling were both knowledgeable mages, they couldn't teach Avena to use even the slightest element of magic, and they had no idea why Avena couldn't learn magic in the first place. The reality of this trough cake undoubtedly made the young and studious Anvina very frustrated. However, she quickly adjusted her goals and went to Xia's side to help her handle the logistics together. According to Avena, "I can't be a mage, but I should always be able to handle things that don't require magic." ”
Fortunately, Anvina really has an amazing memory when it comes to handling affairs, and she can never forget it, which quickly helped Thea a lot and allowed her to regain a lot of self-confidence for herself.
If it weren't for the fact that Avena was still thinking about her parents, who didn't know her whereabouts, and was ready to leave to find them as soon as there was news of her parents, maybe Avena would have joined the Silver Dawn. It's just that the three people who know it tacitly don't want to expose this beautiful lie.
And for this enthusiastic and studious little girl, not only Thea, but also those who have come into contact with her up and down Silver Dawn like her very much. As a result, no one raised any objection to her staying in the logistics office as a non-member of the organization, and instead acquiesced in her role as Shia's aide-de-camp.
Finally, the second batch of reinforcements arrived.
On this day, Xia, who was immersed in work, suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Is something wrong?"
"I'll go" Anvina was still so energetic and curious, and as she said that, she left what she was doing and walked out, and after a while, she brought a piece of news that made Thea a little panicked.
"It's the reinforcements and supplies sent by the blood elves of the tribe Silvermoon City that have arrived."
Sia couldn't help but clench the page under her hand. "So, have you heard who the general of the army is?"
Avena frowned, pouting and looking at the sky in an effort to remember. "I heard it's a beautiful general! What's it called, huh...... I hate it, why did I just hear it and forget it now......"
"Hu ......" heard that it was a female general, Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in her heart. Nathanos's message may not be entirely correct.
Anvena didn't notice Xia's expression at all, and said to herself, "I heard that the blood elves have brought a lot of supplies this time. I heard Jessica, the innkeeper, talk about it. The population of the blood elves is sparse, so although they also participated in the joint military operation launched by Silver Dawn to encircle and suppress the natural disaster, they are mainly to provide supplies, and the army can't help much. ”
"Oh...... "Now that she's relaxed, Thea would have been happy to listen to Avena tell her about what she'd heard at the inn.
"Speaking of which, the military side has to rely on the human side to help." Anvena said to herself. "Is it because of this that Silver Dawn has been delaying its action? But let me tell you, it's not easy to transport human and dwarven armies across half a continent. ”
"Hmm." Speaking of human beings, Xia's heart was slightly fluctuating. "However, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Eastern Plaguelands were to be completely taken over by the Undead Scourge, they would soon be able to attack south of the Eastern Kingdom. Instead of waiting for the undead to attack, it is better to send troops to fight to the death in the plague land. At the very least, fighting here won't have any major impact on human logistics. ”
Anvena smiled with some adoration: "Xia, you think so much. I can't think of what you said at all, but I think that the army will waste a lot of manpower and material resources to go back and forth, and I am still too naïve. ”
Thea smiled silently. Politics is such a thing...... She really hoped that the naïve Avena would never understand.
"Don't talk about that. Anvina. Thea digressed the subject. Since you said that the Blood Elves have brought a large number of supplies, should we prepare to receive them? ――For example, have the warehouses been vacated, and have the details of the important materials that need to be replenished in several sub-warehouses been sorted out? ”
Anvena stuck out her tongue. "Alright, let's get ahead of it! I'll be sure to take care of it for you before they come to hand over the supplies. ”
Thea picked up the pen in her hand again and smiled helplessly at Avena. But why did she have a premonition in her heart?
What Xia didn't expect was that the first person to meet an old friend was the careless bounty hunter Rowling.
"Rowling? It's Rowling. Frost leaves? Rowling, who was at the Blood Elf camp, suddenly heard a voice that was so familiar to her that she could hardly forget.
Rowling was a little surprised by the female general of the Blood Elves in a plate armor uniform. “……”
The elven general hurriedly took off her helmet and her blonde hair fell down. "Rowling, don't you remember me anymore?" Xu was excited to reunite after a long absence, and this female general, who had always been strong, actually had slightly red eyes.
Rowling looked complicated. "How are you?" (To be continued)
