Chapter 14: The Wheels That Can't Stop

The soldiers were hurrying to rescue the wounded and clean up the battlefield, and at the regular meeting that had just ended, it was decided that after a short rest, Tyrande would lead the main force to continue north, which did not include the combined forces of humans and blood elves, only the sentinels of the Night Elves, after all, this was also Tyrande's original plan.

Adlan volunteered to stay and participate in the killing of Manolos, partly because he wanted to wait for Gianna's follow-up troops to follow, and by the way, to see how she could use to launch a magical mass teleportation to bring or take away the entire army as in "history". On the other hand, all the high-ranking members of the coalition are not optimistic that those people of the tribe will be able to take out the Abyss Lord, so they must be prepared to solve the problem themselves. In fact, there were disagreements at the top on the choice of Adlane and his troops, after all, the auxiliary role played by the paladins was too powerful, and Adelan used his actual actions to "show" his "military talent" and "personality charm" to facilitate peace talks, which was enough to make the high-ranking Night Elves regard them as the same type of talent as the Garrod Shadow Song who had been missing for nearly 10,000 years.

Garrod is Mavi's younger brother, the sheriff commander of Surama, and the commander-in-chief of the Night Elves' fight against the Burning Legion.

Therefore, the higher-ups, especially Tyrande, really wanted Edlan to go to Felwood Forest with the main force and even go directly to Mount Hyjal to take over the position of commander-in-chief that had been vacant, but the other party was a foreigner after all, and the night elves who stayed behind had not seen the strength of this person, and there would definitely be various problems when carrying out orders, which gave her a headache......

And the matter of Illidan also made her hesitate, she wanted to help Illidan regain the recognition of the clan for more than a moment, the power ......of the Holy Light Tyrande had already understood its power, if Illidan could use the power of the Holy Light to create a new profession, even if it was only for the clansmen to increase their abilities, they could slowly gain the recognition of the clansmen!

"Wouldn't the Night Elves have been the same in years without Garrod?" Eventually, Tyrande convinced himself with these words, and then gave the choice to Edlan.

For Edlan, it's like playing a game with branching options, and every major choice he makes will affect the outcome of the story, such as now, after Tyrande clearly tells him that if he chooses to go to Mount Hyjal with her, he will most likely take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Night Elf army with her support, which makes Edlan simply flattered, and even secretly speculates about how Tyrande's brain circuit is doing? Or is it that the Night Elves' army can't play without Garrod? and even needs a foreigner who knows a little bit about marching and fighting to take over?

To be honest, when he heard Tyrande's invitation, Edlan was very moved, even if he was not a person with a strong desire to control, I am afraid that no man with a violent factor engraved in his genes can resist the temptation of becoming a chess player and commanding an army of millions to dominate the world, right? This feeling that a word and deed can decide the life and death of thousands of people is really unimaginable......

That's right, the Night Elf troops mobilized under the wartime system can reach one million, not counting the logistics and auxiliaries, but the problem is that these immortals have not been baptized by the fire of war enough to exterminate the race for too long, and only the regular army and the hundreds of thousands of elite troops can maintain their combat effectiveness, as for the troops (militia/reserve) mobilized later, Edlan feels that it is suitable to stand on the city wall and act as an archer.

But this did not stop him from hesitating, this unique opportunity made Edlan feel that he would not have this shop after this village...... But the heavy responsibility of the Holy Light Tool Man is pressing him, and his current source of power is the Holy Light, who knows if he doesn't complete Zela's mission, will they sell themselves clean like they abandoned Lafayette?Lafayette is still the vanguard of the fight against the evil forces, but its light obscures the comeback of Illidan, the son of Destiny, and those benevolent and loving Holy Light creatures completely abandon him, leaving Tirio to die in the Battle of Broken Beaches in the "Hereafter......

"If Dad is troubled, use the energy stored here so that Dad doesn't have to worry. ”

Regardless of how Avena "saw" Adelan's hesitation and entanglement, her words were indeed very constructive, but at a time when Adelan couldn't even protect herself, if she completely took the power of the Sunwell Essence possessed by Avena as her own...... The advantage is not only that he can be separated from the power of the Light to become his second source of power, but he can also protect himself when he does not go according to the plan predetermined by those tangrams, but the disadvantage is also obvious, the source of power is there, but it takes time to master this new power and learn tricks and skills, and nothing can be so convenient overnight......

This is like meeting a peerless master who is about to die in the martial arts world, he has a fate with you to pass on his skills to you, and after opening up the second pulse of Ren Du, he only passes on his skills, rather than passing on the other party's schools, moves and experience together, those that take time to learn and skill, if even those can be passed on at once, then it is not called passing on the skills, but calling it a plug-in.

So this is the case with Adlan now, and if he accepts the full energy of the Sunwell Essence, then he will undoubtedly become a miniature "humanoid Sunwell", in this case, there must be a lot of powerful existence peeking at him, and it is a problem for him to protect himself, not to mention the obscene development that has time to rest assured, now is not the relatively calm Azeroth of the Dark Gate 20 years ago, the Dark Gate has been in turmoil for 20 years and all kinds of world-destroying events have emerged one after another, how dare he play like this?

"Anvina, I appreciate your kindness, and I will do it if I really need to, the same thing

It also frees you from this unnecessary bondage...... Even though it's a dangerous world, I'd love to see with your own eyes and feet what a beautiful planet your mother was. ”

After a short and serious exchange with Anvina, Adlane still decided to stay by Illidan's side and wait for the opportunity to complete the task, even if Tyrande's "mouth escape" failed, he could still get as close as possible to the future demon hunter boss to see if he could find an opportunity to "mouth escape", after all, Zela did not set a time to complete it, did he?

......

"It's rare, Tyrande, that you'll ask me out alone...... But I don't think it's the right time to look at the flowers with you...... It's a bit of a shame. ”

In the face of Illidan's composure and straightforwardness, Tyrande was a little nervous, she didn't even know how to speak, even if she had quarreled with Mavi in order to create this opportunity to talk to Illidan alone, and the result was that Mavi was in the position of being upwind that even the watchman's hearing could not hear, but she could stop Illidan who was "trying to escape" at any time.

Mavi kept her distance from her watchmen on the periphery, coldly watching Tyrande sneering in front of her first love like a little girl, and the "fresh" appearance of the leader really made the watchers who usually had only boring and brutal training or only ruthless pursuit of criminals feel novel. But only Mavi and a handful of people knew about the inexplicable green years between Tyrande and the Fury Wind brothers.

"Illidan, do you want to come back, and I think Malfurion will be happy to be recognized by everyone and become the mainstay of the Night Elves, right?"

In the face of Tyrande, who was a little afraid to look at him, Illidan was very happy to see the shyness of his sweetheart for a long time, which deepened his love for her, but when he heard Malfurion's name, Illidan's face fell, "It has nothing to do with me whether they approve or not, as long as you approve, I don't care." ”

This is not to say that Illidan has a bad relationship with Malfurion, he does not hate his brother for his choice to finally get Tyrande, even if he decides to expel himself from the clan and put him in prison, Illidan has not had any resentment towards his brother, he is just resentful, after all, he has been in prison for 10,000 years because of Malfurion's decision, isn't it?

Illidan's complicated feelings for his eldest brother are still a "love" word, and the choice of Malfurion is Tyrande's choice, although he does not feel that he is worse than Malfurion, but Illidan respects her choice. In the same way, Malfurion's imprisonment was already a sign of brotherhood, otherwise the number of people Illidan had killed, even if he was dealing with demons, would have been counted as an evil deed that 10,000 deaths would not be enough for the people to be angry, and Malfurion had only made a punishment of expulsion and imprisonment, which was already magnanimous for what Illidan had committed.

Of course, from Malfurion's position, there is no problem with such a "grand and selfless" sentence, and there is no problem with Tyrande's choice, if Tyrande chooses herself, then what kind of infamy will she bear? This is what Illidan does not want to see, he would rather see her with Malfurion, with his excellent brother, than to see Tyrande be ostracized by his people if he chooses himself......

This is also what Illidan slowly figured out in the long time of 10,000 years after he was imprisoned, and at first he was a little indignant, he had made a remarkable contribution to the survival of the Night Elves, even if some people died because of it, it would not be able to counteract his efforts, and in that kind of situation where he could not effectively resist and would be wiped out, it would be better to die in battle, to be killed by a wide range of magic, and to be smashed by the hellfire that fell from the sky...... There are all kinds of ways to die, and when facing desperate demons, dead people are a common phenomenon, and Illidan doesn't even feel that he is wrong, because it is with the sacrifice of those compatriots that the strength they contribute can make them strong enough to fight against demons and kill more demons!

This is nothing more than a difference between dying first or dying later, what's wrong with that? Until now, Illidan didn't feel that he was at fault, if he didn't use the energy of these still alive compatriots to deal with the demons, the powerful demons needed a spell to make these self-proclaimed elites die, instead of making them worthless, it was better to let them play a greater role in the continuation of the race at the end of their lives!

And whether it is Tyrande or Malfurion, they naturally know this truth, but the truth is not human affection, let alone understanding. Not everyone is on the front line, and when the rumor that Illidan killed his people in exchange for demonic power spread among his people, Illidan did not refute it, and more and more physical evidence pointed to Illidan actually doing such a thing. Therefore, under pressure and for the sake of internal stability, Malfurion sentenced and punished Illidan.

Is it wrong for the Night Elves who applauded for this? Are the Night Elves who lost their families to Illidan's killing wrong for hating him? No, it's an unsolvable proposition, even if Illidan stood up for himself, and there were examples of what he did to kill more demons, even if it was in such a righteous situation, the fact that Illidan killed his own people could not be changed, and those who hated him would not forgive him for what Illidan killed their family for......

In fact, Mavi Shadowsong hated Illidan so much because he almost killed her brother Garrod Shadowsong in an operation to absorb energy to deal with demons, and Garrod was the only survivor of that battle besides Illidan, and also confirmed Illidan's evil deeds as a witness, which made Mavi, who was already full of justice and responsibility, and a little bit of a brother in various ways, hate Illidan even more.

Now, although Tyrande had heard him say this kind of "love words" to him several times after Illidan was released, every time he heard Illidan say this, Tyrande always felt happy and sad, which made her even more unsure of how to face Illidan.

So Tyrande lowered his head, pinched the corners of his clothes loosely, hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his head, stared seriously at the place where Illidan had lost his eyes, and said, "As long as you fight for your clan, I will approve of you no matter what." But if you want to come back to us, then go to Edlan, he may have a way to get you to choose another way back to us. ”

"The human? Okay...... I could indeed sense that there were two energies of different nature in him, and they were both powerful. But I need to think about it...... Tyrande. First, let me be quiet. ”

"Hmmm......"

Tyrande left, and by the way, Mavi and her watchers were also evacuated, although the latter was reluctant, but Tyrande's order was serious, that is, let them be responsible for spying on the tribe's intelligence and use their years of training to determine the specific location of the Abyss Lord Manolos as soon as possible, Tyrande did not want to leave the Night Elves' back road safely to those invaders, even if she was relieved, her soldiers were not at ease at all.

But no one expected that when Tyrande and the Watchers left, a man with a very restrained aura appeared here.

"Illidan Fury, if you're hungry for greater power, I think we need to talk about the location of an evil artifact and the power it contains. ”

Looking at this death knight who was obviously a living person, but no different from a dead man, Illidan looked solemn, even if the other party was extremely restrained in his breath, but at such a close distance, he could still feel the powerful pressure of the other party, especially the rune sword in the other party's hand that exuded freezing gas, that ancient and evil thing He even smelled the smell of demons!

"Rub it!" the Blade of Aeginos appeared in Illidan's hand, and he said unhappily, "I hate to be interrupted while I'm thinking, and I don't mind letting you die if you can't give me a good explanation, Death Knight." ”

......

On the other side, Thrall was dealing with official business with a gloomy face, due to the death of Grom in battle, coupled with the efforts of the tribal shamans, who temporarily pacified the orcs who were controlled in Orgrimmar with demonic blood in their bodies, so Sarufar brought a second batch of tribal reinforcements.

At the same time, as the information sent back by the wolf cavalry and the bipedal dragoon became more and more obvious to confirm the place where the abyss lord was "hiding", the demons and undead who had been hiding their heads and tails all this time began to pour out of the unknown canyon and immediately fought with the tribe's army, and at the same time, they also cooperated with another undead army that was pestering the alliance and blood elves to separate the alliance and the tribe's army.

Thrall hated those undead so much, no matter how he said that Grom died on the battlefield, that can be regarded as the opponent's despicable bullying of the less, and in the end he died with all his strength, but after the warrior died, the corpse was desecrated by those damned undead!

Death knights are still the evil products of the orc warlocks, which were born in the orc war, and the Shadow Council led by Gul'dan made it, in order to better destroy the will of human resistance, by collecting dead corpses and digging graves, etc., those soldiers and strong people who died in battle were made into death knights to serve the tribe!

The appearance of these death knights quickly reaped the rewards, and after seeing the faces of these terrifying undead creatures and their comrades who had only been killed in battle, the human defenders' will to resist was quickly disintegrated, and the progress of the tribe's war was quickly advanced...... Until more and more paladins appear on the battlefield......

Thrall ended his memories of Orgrim's diligent teachings to teach him not to trust the dark forces. The Death Knight is the first thing that the tribe came up with, even if it disappeared later due to Gul'dan's betrayal and was completely abandoned by Orgrim, but there are always a few warlocks who like to study these things, and the diligent and studious Thrall has also discussed this problem with those warlocks, although because of Gul'dan's betrayal, Thrall is very wary of those spellcasters who use dark power, so this makes the status of those warlocks very low, and they are not from the Gul'dan line, let alone know the advanced and evil skills of making death knights, but Thrall still warns them not to do anything unpleasant to everyone。

So Thrall knows the Death Knight, and what those necromantic spells left behind by Kel'thugad mean, the vicious magic that will rob the Warsong Clan of its last glory! Grom will become one of the undead, his soul will be enslaved, controlled, he will raise that glorious roar of blood, but this time his target will likely be his own people!

This made Thrall furious, but he couldn't find the erratic undead spellcaster troops! If it weren't for the fact that the coalition on the other side was dominated by the power of nature, arcane, and holy light, Thrall would have wondered if it was the damn human paladin conspiracy!

"Chief, I know you're angry right now, and so am I. But we should deal with the demons now, and from the information we have received, the Night Elves don't seem to be at ease with us, and their reconnaissance is ongoing, and I think it won't be long before they find Manolos' location. ”

Sarufar's words pulled Thrall back from his memories and anger, "I see, Varok summoned Kukaron, and then called Woking and Bloodhoof, and we're about to do something my ancestors couldn't accomplish!"
