Chapter XVI: Under the Same Banner
Nalarex, a Night Elf druid, has been studying how to restore life to the Barren Lands for a long time, and when he took action to do so, he created an oasis through its rich underground water system in a place called the Wailing Cave, and then expanded the surface oasis by planting more trees and vegetation to gradually improve the harsh environment of the Barrenland.
In fact, he was halfway there, he had successfully communicated with the greater force of nature by entering the Emerald Dream from his sleep, but he was about to awaken and use this power to guide and transform the Wailing Cavern when the Emerald Nightmare appeared...... Although he was tormented by the Emerald Nightmare and came to his senses with the help of the Green Dragon Legion and other friendly forces, the weakened Nararex wanted to take a break before continuing the great cause with his followers, but it wasn't long before the invasion of demons and the undead came.
The frail Nalarex unsurprisingly received a call from the Grand Druid Vandal Deerhelm, which forced him to temporarily abandon his studies and return to the Cenarion Council in the Moonlit Glade with his friends Browl Bearskin and Elerethere Flard, the three of them played a significant role in Azhara's fight against demons, and now, after Tyrande regained command of the Night Elf forces, they were sent to Ashendale to temporarily join a human general named Anaheim in a battle to slay demonsγ
When Edran saw the three druids in front of him who reported to him, he felt a little flattered, he was completely unaware of his importance, and even felt that Tyrande attached a bit of a fuss to him, but after thinking about it, he understood what Tyrande meant, one must be to ensure that Manolos can be completely killed this time, the Abyss Lord is Akmund's lieutenant, and the impact on the entire battle after killing him is of great significance; Instead, the priority is to complete the mission, although this has been the iron law of the Watchers for thousands of years, and once Edlan is dead, Tyrande does not know what else can make Illidan gain the power of the world to return to the group.
From this point of view, Tyrande's complicated feelings for Illidan can really be made into an eight-o'clock series...... However, in any case, Tyrande was still very good and powerful, bypassing the Deer Helmet and sending 3 powerful druids to help, which gave Edlan another reassurance. Take a look at these 3 druids, which one is not a "history" or "future" awesome person, even Chromie, who has been silent, was a little surprised when she saw this scene, but what surprised her was still to come......
"I'm Nalarex, ahem...... Thank you for coming all the way to Kalimdor to help the Night Elves. Nalarex's voice was hoarse, related to the torture he had endured in the Emerald Dream, from which he had not fully recovered.
This one may be a weak chicken in the game, but think about it, in the fission of the earth, he single-handedly induced the rapid transformation of the barren land, turning it into a fertile land where water and grass flourish and all kinds of plants grow! The mere fact that he can change the landscape is enough to see how strong he is, but due to the influence of the nightmare, the plants there are a little overgrown and accompanied by some strange aggression......
Moreover, Nalarex, a druid who was not well-known in the early days, also had a famous friend, and that was the Hamuel Rune Totem...... Of course, Hamuel was not yet a druid, but he was still resolutely standing by the side of his little Kane's bloodhoof, and participated in the Horde's attack on Manolos. Historically, Hamuel was inspired by the selfless sacrifice and dedication of the druids in the war after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, after which he found Malfurion and was allowed to begin learning the ways of the druids.
Since then, many people have begun to learn the way of the druids under his push, and his achievements have been immeasurable. It can be said that Hamuel was the first Minotaur Druid, who made the Druid Way flourish among the non-Night Elf races, and he was also the first non-Night Elf Druid to be accepted by the Cenarion Council as a foreigner.
"Hello, human general, at the behest of the Priestess of the Moon, Brower Bearskin reports to you. β
The one who spoke was Browl Bearskin, who may have been known to many as one of Varian's best mates during his gladiator days, but few know that he was one of the few Night Elves with antlers, including Malfurion, representing his amazing talent for druids, and Browl's antlers were innate. Malfurion even privately regarded Brolle as a person of equal status to himself.
It can be seen what a powerful guy this guy is. "Historically", Browl was alone for several hours at the Battle of Mount Hyjal, and was eventually defeated by the Abyss Lord Azgalor, but it was this battle that cost him a lot, including his family...... Hatred pervades his heart, causing him to lose his way and leave the Night Elves wandering the world until he is bought by a gladiator merchant and meets his two golden partners......
"May the stars guide your path, young human general. "It was a green-haired female druid, and her outfit was inconspicuous, except for her ethereal and melodious voice, which was so inconspicuous even compared to the sentry archers.
Knowing this name, Adelan did not despise her, because Ellerethrefral was another great druid at a young age, and she would appear behind the northern bunker of Ddambadar in the Alterac Valley in the "Hereafter", and she and the other three druids from the Cenarion Council were originally trying to save the flora and fauna of the Alterac Valley, but due to the war, she was with her
Unable to stop the two forces from fighting in the valley, they have to join the Thunderspear Guard to keep themselves safe, and the price they have to pay is to collect enough Storm Crystals to summon an ancient Treant Forest, King of the Forest, Ivos. Thus confronting the Ice and Snow Lord Lockhora, summoned by the Tribal Shaman......
"Lord Elerithor, can you summon some ancient allies to give us a better chance of victory?"
This scene made Edlan think that it was a strange feeling that he and the footmen had worked tirelessly around the great druid, protecting them and participating in their summoning rituals, but now the great druid had to obey his orders.
"I'm sorry, but every Treant I can contact is already on the battlefield fighting the demons, and I can't summon any of them here. β
To Ellereth's answer, Edlan waved his hand indifferently, he was almost joking with bad taste, but now that the bad taste is satisfied, it's time to get down to business, he said seriously: "It's okay, but we're not alone...... Friends, the demons are eyeing Mount Hyjal, this is no longer the matter of the Night Elf family, the countries of the Eastern Continent, no, it should be said that all the people of insight in the entire Azeroth should unite against the demons, and the people who come here are among the representatives. So it's my pleasure to let me introduce it to you......
Edlan walked over to a middle-aged man, dressed in a formal naval uniform and wearing a captain's hat, with nothing useless on his body, his sailor knife and gunpowder pistol in the most comfortable position, he was energetically holding a pipe in his mouth, rubbing his bearded chin with one hand, and he was observing everything in front of him as the three druids reported to their homes. Although he was pleased with the excessively young General Lordaeron in front of him, he was also apprehensive when he participated in the meeting of the alliance under the persuasion of his daughter, and he was apprehensive before seeing these Night Elves, but when he saw the elite troops and special forces of the Night Elves, when he saw these heroic druids who popped up at every turn, his heart relaxed a lot.
"This one is the ruler of Kul Tiras, Lord Commander of the Navy, Lord Daryn Broadmoor, who has brought 5,000 elite Kul Tiras sailors to reinforce us, while his main fleet, 500 large warships, is bombarding the demons on the coast near the waters of Al Shara. β
Edlan's introduction caused everyone present to let out a wave of surprise and joy.
Dalin is a veteran general who has experienced the orc war, his eldest son died in the flames of the red dragon enslaved by the dragon-throated orcs, he can be said to hate the orcs very much, this kind of blood feud is not easy to resolve. Originally, when the natural disaster struck, Dalin was very righteous and his fleet was sent to Lordaeron, but when they arrived, the situation in Lordaeron was hopeless, and they had no choice but to help Gianna transport all the refugees of Lordaeron and establish Theramore.
Edlan didn't have much friendship with him, but Daelin was very righteous and made the merchants of Kul Tiras provide Anaheim with too much war materials at a reasonable price, which made Edlan still have a good impression of the old general.
Later, when more and more information became known that there was an orc in Kalimdor and that they had established a "homeland", an enraged Dalin took his armada out and headed for Theramore, intending to join up with her daughter's forces and go on a crusade against the damned orcs. However, Gianna returned with her wounded soldiers and was ready to lead the troops of Ironforge and Nomorigen to reinforcements, and then the father and daughter and Brad Copperbeard had an in-depth exchange about the current situation.
Thankfully, Dahlin was a man of general knowledge, and after learning from Gianna and the Dwarven Prince that this was an existential war, he put aside his hatred for a while and sent his fleet to assist the Night Elves and Green Dragons of Azhara in dealing with demons, while he himself led his army north with Gianna to join Edlan.
Dalin wanted to kill all the orcs, but with a strong sense of honor, he heard that the orcs had sent large forces to the front line to fight the demons and the undead, and he rejected his subordinates' proposal to take the opportunity to directly bombard the Echo Islands and Orgrimmar. Of course, Sal and the others broke out in a cold sweat after hearing that a swaggering armada passed by their doorstep......
"Then the next one is the leader of Theramore, Lady Gianna Proudmoore, and I believe that she has already impressed you with the way she fought against the Theramore Vanguard. β
Gianna smiled kindly at the Night Elves who came to watch the ceremony, and the sentinels who had been in contact with her were very fond of her, which also led the other Night Elves to respect the young mage who had fought with his weak army for a long time.
"This is a descendant of Darth Rema, ruler of Quel'Thalas, King of Sindore, Kael'thas Sunstrider, who has brought with him an elite army of rangers and mages along with his Ranger general, Lady Sylvanas Windrunner. When Edlan saw that many Night Elves were still frowning because of their identities, he continued: "Under the threat of the Burning Legion, let the past grudges pass, Lady Tyrande has already agreed to acknowledge Sindore's exploits and what they have done for this war!
Kael'thas stepped forward and saluted gracefully, "Sindore has no intention of being an enemy of his compatriots, we are only here to contribute to the safety of this world. His low profile and humility were quickly recognized by everyone, and at least the Night Elves, who were very averse to magic and blood elves, did not see any superficial emotions.
Kael'thas with Haduron Wings and Archmage Beloval had been hiding in Eresaras (Air of Doom) for a long time
The Sindras were in contact, and they were invited by the Eruditoists to "visit" the "city" that was now under the control of the Sindra.
Knowing the difficulty of the situation and Sindra's predicament, Kael'thas immediately chose to help the poor people, and after a lot of effort to deal with the demon and the prince who had gone completely insane, the weakened survivors Sindra was sent to Theramore, where they stockpiled a large amount of mana crystals transferred from the Anaheim Territory, enough to give them a short but adequate nourishment.
Kael'thas and the others stayed behind, using the remnants of the magical energy in the air and the knowledge recorded in the library to restore the ancient rune sword Flame Strike and the Cadore Crystal Staff, two relics of his father that meant a lot to Kael'thas and were also symbols of the Sunseeker royal family.
It was precisely because of his concentration on repairing the two artifacts that Kael'thas didn't pay much attention to the situation in the outside world, and he couldn't contact the other clansmen in time, which made the great star sorcerer Solan Lian and others who stayed in Lordaeron a little uncomfortable.
Despite not being able to obtain information from Sindra's library on how to effectively plant Akando, Kael'thas was satisfied with the operation, after all, it was better than anything to harvest this ancient knowledge and save Sindra's compatriots, not to mention that Magister Roman had reported to Kael'thas that the campaign in the Blue Wing Roost was coming to an end, and the druid who had studied Akando for many years agreed to help them, but on the condition that Quel'Thalas accept the exiled Chardore after the planting was successful.
Kael'thas naturally gladly agreed, and at the same time, it can strengthen the national strength and allow more elves to have a stable living environment, which is what Kael'thas is now fighting for.
But now, Kael'thas had to put his career aside, and when they returned to Theramore to board the ship from here, they found that a catastrophe that threatened the world had come, so he and the second group of rangers and magisters led by Sylvanas went north together, and the elite army of 5,000 people hurried all the way, and just arrived in Ashendale to meet with Edlan.
At this time, Edlan discovered that Kael'thas, who had inherited the Flame Strike, had indeed been recognized by the artifact, and the appearance of the artifact had changed, and the sword could now be called the Atlas of the Stars. The entire sword body is as transparent as if it is made of crystals, and there are five twinkling stars strung together in the crystal, and the hilt part of the sword is composed of several structures that rotate around the largest transparent crystal ball in the middle, and the overall red hue makes people see at a glance that Kael'thas has taken a step forward in fire magic, so that the originally transparent crystal is also dyed with the color of fire.
After introducing Kael'thas to Kael'thas, Adlan said to the dwarf who was drinking nearby, "Here's the one below"
Unexpectedly, the playful dwarf prince directly interrupted Edlan's words, and he said: "I'm Brian Copperbeard, okay, young man, don't waste time on these red tapes." The reinforcements of Fort Ironforge and Nomorigen will be at your command. Come on, let's go kill those damned demons and undead!"
The dwarves' straightforwardness is a bit annoying at times, but on the battlefield, if you can fight alongside the dwarves, you can tell that they have always been very tough and affectionate, so after this old guy interrupted Edlan's introduction in this way, Dalin, who had worked with Brian in World War II, also laughed heartily.
Daelin patted Edlan on the shoulder and said, "Boy, since you can be recognized as the commander of the coalition forces by these ancient races, then I have nothing to say, the 5000 sailors of Kul Tiras will obey your orders." β
After the two bigwigs of the alliance side, Brian and Dalin, also followed up and said: "Although the Theramore Vanguard Army has suffered heavy losses, it is our duty in the face of the world's disaster. ...... In addition, I have just received the news that His Excellency Maudra will lead the battle mages of Dalaran to join this great holy war at a later date, and the mages will abide by the agreement of the Lordaeron Alliance and return to the command of General Adlan. β
Kael'thas didn't say much, because Quel'Thalas had rejoined the alliance before, so he just said very calmly, "As long as you need it, Sindore will be your most loyal ally!"
At this time, Mavi Shadow Song also stepped out and said, "Although we Kadore have not joined any alliances, our friendship of fighting side by side is genuine, and the Warden will fully support this demon slaying operation. β
"......" This kind of formation really flattered Edlan, but he quickly adjusted, "Okay, then please enter the camp commanders, we need to share information and make plans in detail, and the adjutants also ask to organize their respective troops immediately, I need the troops to be fully rested and ready to leave at any time, and if there are any logistical problems, please ask my star officer Herold or Ms. Liadlin to solve them." β
After that, the group acted with a clear division of labor.
This scene was seen by the veterans of Lordaeron, Kul Tiras, and Ironforge who were watching from afar, and they were quite touched, and many of them could not stop their tears, once upon a time, members of various races were united under one banner to fight against the evil that endangered their homeland. Now the mountains and rivers of Lordaeron are in ruins, but the glory of the Lordaeron Alliance is still there! Another hero like Sir Lothar has stepped forward and once again united the people of all races under the same banner!
There is no great reason or wisdom in the hearts of these rough soldiers, they just feel that this is a just battle to save the world, and they firmly believe in a few words in their hearts that justice will win!
