Back at the Chapel of Light's Wishes, nothing seems to have changed since before leaving. γStarterγ
The causes and consequences of this Anvina incident and her true identity have been truthfully reported to Fordin. Although this involves the highest precision of the blood elves. But Thea's stance, as well as her trust in Fordin, led her to make such a decision in the end.
As the supreme leader of the Silver Dawn, it is absolutely necessary for Fording to understand the important role that Anvina, a little girl who was originally inconspicuous in the Silver Dawn, will play in future decisions. There is no doubt that because of this incident, the blood elves can be said to owe Silver Dawn a great favor. Even without mentioning this turmoil, the reception and protection provided by Silver Dawn to Avena before is enough to serve as a solid foundation for future cooperation between the two sides.
While this may not be appropriate, as the supreme leader, Fodin must turn all possible factors into advantage. Faith alone is not enough for Silver Dawn to continue to fight and survive in this harsh plague land, and even to continue to develop and grow. This is what makes the difference between the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders - if necessary, Fording can also smoothly transition into the role of politician without losing the bottom line.
Therefore, in Ferdin's heart, Anvina's identity determines that her role in staying with the blood elves will definitely be much greater than staying in the Silver Dawn.
"Well, I'm afraid Anvina won't come back." After listening to Thea's statement, Fording concluded.
"Yes." Thea replied.
"Well, she's not what she used to be...... This is also completely understandable. Furding put an end to the affair lightly. But he was thinking about how to use this favor, and that was another matter. "Well, other than that, is there anything else to gain this time?"
Fording just asked casually. But Thea really remembered something. Felicia's hastily left warning - don't return to the wish of the Light.
"Lord Fordin, has there been any special changes in the Plaguelands lately? Didn't the Scourge react at all after suffering such a major defeat? β
"Huh?" Fording was stunned by Thea's sudden change of subject. He replied a little dazedly, and after understanding Xia's question, he touched his chin and frowned, "What's wrong, is there any problem?" β
Thea briefly reminded Felicia of the warning she had given her. But she still hid Felicia's identity and said vaguely: "When we are on our way back." There's a Death Knight...... Perhaps a warning. She told me not to come back here. I can't confirm the truth of her warning, but you might be able to analyze something in light of the recent changes in the Plaguelands. β
Thea's words made Fording take it very seriously. He twisted his beard repeatedly, recalling the latest information.
"Be specific. Is she talking about the Plaguelands, or the Chapel of the Light's Wishes? β
"Chapel of the Light's Wishes."
Thea's affirmation made Ferding pay more and more attention to this information. "Speaking of which, the Plaguelands have been ...... lately But it doesn't have much to do with us. β
Fording paced a few steps to the hanging map of the Plaguelands.
"Come, Thea."
Thea walked over to the map. Ding pointed solemnly at the map. "Here - the Scarlet Crusaders' largest base - the Hand of Tyr. A few days ago, it received a major blow from the Death Knights of the Black Blade Fortress. β
Xia couldn't help but jump out of the corner of her eyes when she heard the news.
Fortunately, General Abydis had already led his army north and officially marched to Northrend. Therefore, although the counteroffensive of this natural disaster was huge, it did not cause any damage to the Scarlet Crusaders. β
After a pause, Furding focused on the map in Diel's hand and continued, "At present, the three divisions of the Scarlet Crusade, General Abydis and Grand Prosecutor Whitemayne, have reached an agreement to join forces to march north. The Great Crusaders of Stratholme chose to stay in the Plaguelands. After this Scourge Legion's blow. He had already sent men in to take over the hands of Tyr. After all, the grain-producing areas of the plague lands are precious. In addition to these few things. I can't think of anything else that could be called a big deal. β
After listening to Fordin's analysis, Xia also fell into thought.
"Then why...... What would she say like that? β
Ferdinha laughed and patted Thea on the shoulder. "I think that the words of a Death Knight may not be reliable, but we should cheer up anyway. Anyway, this is the land of plagues, and we should be ready to fight the scourge to the death at all times. β
"Hmmm! You're right. Fordin's attitude reassured Thea. Yes, whether Felicia said it was true or not, as long as they were ready to fight at any time, it should be fine.
Thea finished reporting everything she wanted to report. But there is one thing, she still wants to ask Fording for verification, but how to open this matter, Xia is still slightly entangled in this. It wasn't until her expression that she couldn't help but speak for her.
"Anything else? Dear Thea. β
"Uh...... Bolwal ...... He...... How is he? Thea stumbled.
"Hah!! He's fine, just a little emotionally upset. Although his medical officer did not understand why he was so devout and so emotionally exposed, it even affected his physical recovery. But I think I get it......" Fordin smiled knowingly. "But I think he'll get better soon. Isn't it? β
Thea didn't know how to deal with Ferdin's innocent teasing, and lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes at a loss.
Fording was clearly aware of Thea's embarrassment, however, Thea was now back at Silver Dawn. It's only a matter of time before he meets Bolval. Fording couldn't help but kindly reminded Thea: "Thea, although I don't have much to say about this matter. However, I guess there are different factions in any camp. If it's for Bolval's sake, you should at least hide your true feelings. I think you understand what I'm talking about. β
How Sia didn't understand what Fording meant. She's just concerned about it. But Fordin's words also made her determined. "I understand your good intentions. Then I have one last thing, Lord Fordin, and I would like to ask for your approval. β
"What's the matter?"
"Something is wrong with my body. I may need to leave for a short period of time for treatment. β
Thea's words made Ferding frown. "Your body? Could it be that there are any after-effects of the wounds he sustained in that battle with Kel'thugad? That can't be delayed. He stroked his beard and said to himself, "The priest of Silver Dawn is not good at healing the forsaken after all. If it's really what you say, then you really should hurry up with treatment. β
Ferding pressed his hands on Xia Ya's shoulders, and said with a solemn face: "Xia Ya, you have to be good!" Your life is more precious than you think. β
Ferdin's solemnity made Thea couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Her life...... Is it really that precious?
On the way back, she kept thinking about whether she should listen to Simon and leave with him, or gamble willfully, whether the truth would be as serious as Simon said.
However, the balance in her heart finally tilted in the direction of Simon.
For some reason, she instinctively thought that Simon would not deceive her when it came to the continuation of her life.
Thea sighed in her heart countless times.
If she had a choice, she would certainly choose to sleep peacefully in Stormwind and never wake up. But when she returns to this world - though she still won't be grateful to the one who killed her and pulled her back into this world - Simon. She will still covet the world.
She didn't want to die again.
Even to live in such a pathetic posture.
But just think that she could see those who she loves again in such a gesture, even if the hope is as slim as a candle in the wind. She couldn't be ruthless enough to say goodbye to this world again.
"I'll finish the handover as soon as possible before I leave. Rest assured. β
"Hmm. I think you'll be in time to attend the celebration before you leave. β
"Huh?" The term celebration feast made Xia a little unrefreshed.
Fording understood Thea's confusion. He smiled helplessly. "Although the current conditions are very difficult and not suitable for any celebration banquet, it is also necessary to properly boost the morale of the soldiers. And ......" he lowered his voice and said, "Speaking of a celebration banquet, the most important thing for us commanders is to fight for the ownership of the Kel'thugad Bone Box. β
Xia asked with some confusion, "Isn't there still a conclusion to this matter?" β
Fording shook his head. "The Alliance wants to get a result in their favor as soon as possible, but the Horde is delaying on the grounds that Kare, Nathanos, and you, the most important heroes, are not there. In addition, the recovery of several other Warriors who attacked Naxxramas was not stable enough. Therefore, it has dragged on until now. And you're back, so there's no need to delay any longer. β
Thea understood. She suddenly laughed.
"Presumably, Erigor's recovery must have been influenced by adults."
"Haha......" Furding laughed dryly. He didn't want to offend, so of course he could only acquiesce and cooperate with the tribe to use the procrastination. And, more importantly, once the fruits of victory have been divided, the coalition forces will immediately leave the Plaguelands and return to recuperate. Because after all, whether it is a tribe or a coalition, long-term support for an army expedition is a large expense for the side.
And from Ferdin's position, it is natural to hope that the coalition forces will be in the plague land as long as possible. (To be continued......)
