Chapter 29 Arrogance is the original sin

"By the way, if the Great Lord Alessandros comes to you and asks why the Paladin profession is open to civilians, then tell him that there is something to talk about when I come back, and if he wants to carry out a decision that is different from ours, don't pay attention to him at that time, the territory will be as usual, after all, he still has to listen to me according to his rank. ”

Before leaving, Adlane left this inexplicable and somewhat overheaded instruction that made these left-behind officials feel big, after all, after Uther and others died in battle, in addition to Da Sohan, only this Alessandros Mograini was left as a meritorious veteran, but although this veteran had a knighthood, his rank in the Knights of the Silver Hand was not very high, but his status was just transcendent, and Adelan was a general promoted by Princess Kalia......

An upstart, a veteran, almost never lived in peace, and some people even expected that the great lord who was not very good-tempered would return to Lordaeron and see the ruin of the country and Edlan's "messing around", I am afraid that he will be angry. This is a typical fairy fight for the officials below who execute, and the little ghost suffers......

......

Vorheatel Denev is a trainee member of the Order of the Silver Hand, a High Elf and the child of a mage in Dalaran. Dalaran was certainly a comfortable, wise, and free city, and even her parents wanted her to study magic in such an academic atmosphere, after all, many High Elves were born magicians. She was supposed to be on the arcane road smoothly, but in the midst of a rebellious period of immortality, one day, she felt that something was missing from her unchanged life.

However, during the rebellious period, Miss Dnev was not willing to follow the path arranged by her parents, as an immortal, due to the different growth environment, she longed for the fast-paced life of human beings and the various new gadgets that appeared quickly, such as the belief in the Holy Light. This kind of energy, which was different from elemental magic, immediately intrigued her, and when she learned that there was a group of organizations in the Kingdom of Lordaeron that specialized in using the power of holy light to fight, she happily ran to join this organization.

It's just that her Holy Light affinity is still not high, which is why she is still just a trainee member after so long. I have to say that the fate of this High Elf has also been invisibly rewritten by Edlan, in the original history, after she wanted to become a paladin to no avail, she also realized that the Holy Light was useless to her through her travels and the events of Lordaeron's death, so she returned to Dalaran, and then after the fall of Dalaran, she followed the wave of refugees to Stormwind City, and was finally favored by Madias Shore, leading her to the path of shadows and becoming a capable officer of MI7.

But now, not long after Phossel Denev followed the Knights of the Silver Hand to reinforce the Undead Barrier, it was completely destroyed, and although she had fought bloodily, she was outnumbered and finally fled with the rout to Anaheim.

Then, after Vanessa founded a MI7-like organization called Shadow Creed, the first person she recruited was this Visel Denev, and of course, how Vanessa took a fancy to this talent and how she wooed this talent is another story.

Now, after receiving simple training as an assassin, the first task that this High Elf received was to follow Adelan to the Kingdom of the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, one is to protect Adelan as a paladin on the surface, and the other is to have a good communication bridge as a High Elf, and the third point is also an additional task given by Vanessa, that is, on the basis of completing one and two, use the knowledge and skills learned to obtain all the information of Quel'Salas as much as possible, which will become an important test to determine whether she can become a full member of the Shadow Creed。

Soon, the new Operator was given her chance to perform.

The approach of a small human-shaped offshore vessel puzzled the rangers in the Windranger Tower, and at the same time they were very vigilant and entered a state of readiness, until they saw a High Elf lady holding a white flag on the bow of the approaching ship, and they lowered their alert posture.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and a dozen rangers, led by a commander, lined up in a loose line on the shore to wait for the other party's landing, while the commanding heights and hidden places were still guarded.

For the sake of respect and non-hostility, Edlan disembarked with Miss Denev without any armament and had a brief conversation.

“Anu belore dela'na。 (May the sun guide you.) )”

“Bal'a dash,malanore。 (Hello, Traveler.) )”

Denev was the first to greet each other in his native Salas, which was a way to get closer to each other. And the commander of the High Elf Ranger led by him also responded in his native language, which shows that her move can still win the favor of the clansmen.

Then, naturally, the elves changed the language of communication to the lingua franca after understanding that there was another human present.

"I'm Fursser Denev, and I'm on an important matter with the general of Lordaeron to visit Lady Sylvanas Windrunner. ”

After listening to Dnev's words, the ranger commander frowned, at first he thought that this human was the entourage of this Dnev lady, but he didn't expect the other party to be so big, and the young one turned out to be the general of the Lordaeron Kingdom. However, this does not look like a formal channel at any time, and how can there be an application for a meeting in which the general will come forward directly from the very beginning? Shouldn't someone be sent to confirm the time and general content of the talks, and then agree on a high-level meeting between the two sides after the talks? Moreover, I have never heard of a general personally coming to talk with another general, so shouldn't the matter of talks be handled by politicians?

After thinking about it, the Ranger Commander decided to take matters into account first, "Then please show me your diplomatic photo." ”

Denev pulled out a letter stamped with Baron Anaheim's fire paint and handed it to the other party. Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas have a relatively close relationship, and the elves are immortals, the ranger commander can see at a glance that this is not the fire paint of the seal of the royal family of Lordaeron, so he asked suspiciously and vigilantly: "This is the seal of a nobleman, what power does he have to represent the royal family of Lordaeron?"

What else did Denev want to say, but Adlane tugged at her lightly, signaling to himself, after all, he didn't have that much time to play diplomatic games with this ranger commander, Arthas estimated that he was almost to Quel'Thalas, if he was not mistaken, at this time, Sylvanas should also go to the front line to defend the elven gate that separates the Wraith Land from the East Lordaeron region, right?

"I am Baron Adelan Anaheim, General Lordaeron, Supreme Commander of the Tirisfardah, this is my seal, now I have an important matter to ask General Sylvanas, I have brought the latest information on the undead scourge, the stakes are very high, please ......"

Before Edlan could finish his words, the ranger commander replied disdainfully, "Oh, General, she's too busy to play political games with you human nobles. As for the undead, you don't have to worry, the general has already gone to the Elven Gate in person, and any undead will not affect us, so please go back. ”

It can't be said that the High Elves have a bad attitude towards humans, after all, this is the norm, and they have always been "Lao Tzu's first in the world" If it is really someone sent by the royal family of Lordaeron, they can also be used as a formal diplomatic deal, but now they are just an ordinary human noble, or a little baron, even if his official position is high, but this kind of messenger who is not from the representative of the country, then they have nothing to say, they will even feel that this human who does not follow the rules is insulting them!

Moreover, the will from Silvermoon City is to regard the plague that broke out in the territory of Lordaeron as the internal affairs of other countries, and we High Elves only need to guard the territory, and the affairs of the human world will be tossed by the humans themselves, and they don't want to be "used" by the humans anymore. After all, the last time he chose to join this "alliance" was because Anduin Lothar was the last descendant of the Soladin Emperor's bloodline, and the High Elves had sworn that they would keep their oath to help Soladin when they needed help.

Although this is also due to the revenge of the orcs and trolls cooperating to fight the territory of the elves, but the cause is still due to the identity and request of Lothar, which led to the loss of many excellent young people in the last war, which also caused the high elves with a small birth rate and population in the last war to lose a lot of excellent young people, which also made the Silver Moon Council and the Sun King no longer pay attention to the affairs of the human world, they don't want to have anything to do with humans anymore, and then they found a very suitable excuse to withdraw from the Lordaeron Alliance.

So now, the Ranger Commander didn't directly drive people out because he had a fellow citizen standing with him.

"Please be generous, I really have important information!"

A very nasal snort of disdain came out of the Ranger Commander's nose, and he looked at the young man who claimed to be a general, and spoke in a low voice to his little Ranger Commander, which was a joke, but it also greatly satisfied the vanity of this man, so he sarcastically said, "Oh, then what is the important information that wants a noble general to make a trip himself?"

Edlan naturally heard the other party's sarcasm, so he also got angry, so that if you don't listen, you have to scare you to pee to be happy?" "The 'mere undead' in your mouth has destroyed most of Lordaeron, His Majesty Terenus was assassinated, Uther was killed, Marshal Garithis was killed, General Abydis was killed, the Knights of the Silver Hand collapsed, and there are more than three million undead disasters in Tirisfa, Andohal and Stratholme in total, which can become anything that stands in their way at any time!" And I have every reason to believe that they are coming towards Quel'Salas under the leadership of a powerful and evil villain, and that your Ranger General will not be able to withstand the undead Scourge of the Dead!"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency is really alarmist! Lordaeron destroyed the country, the Knights of the Silver Hand destroyed, and your human jokes are not funny at all. The Ranger Commander was a little flustered, but quickly calmed down again, after all, there was no evidence, and he also knew the strength of Lordaeron, and if he said that he would be destroyed, he would be destroyed, and he was really an undead who was shopping?

"Is it a joke, you can see it with your own eyes, my ship is here, you can also send someone to the Elven Gate to contact Sylvanas immediately, if you can't make a decision, then someone who can make a decision will tell me! I don't have time to waste with you!"

"Hmph, I understand what you mean, I have also received your warning, as for what we are going to do, it is not up to you to interfere, with my authority I can only keep you here, but I advise you to leave our territory as soon as possible, after all, we do not welcome human beings. ”

In the face of this almost stubborn Ranger Commander, Adelan misses Haduron Mingyi very much, if he stays here, I'm afraid that Adlan and his party should be introduced to Silvermoon City now, right?

But just as Adelan was wondering how to wake up the "man who was pretending to be asleep", a bloodied chocobo rider came running from afar, alarming the outposts on the periphery of the Windranger Tower. From the distance from which Edlan could see not only the blood on his body, but also the fatigue of the chocobos, he could see how anxious the rider was.

"The Elven Gate has fallen, and the general wants us to abandon the Windranger Tower and make every effort to evacuate the people of Windranger Village, Moon Sanctuary, and Golden Mist Village, and bring them back to the magical defense enchantment!"

The ranger who reported the news had a loud voice, and was very anxious, and before he could get close to this place, he shouted loudly, shaking out what he knew.

Thanks to this loud-voiced ranger, Adlane has an excellent reason to intervene. "You want to evacuate the people, right, it's very dangerous to walk on the road, I can lend you this boat, although it's not big, but you can place the old and young on the boat, the young and strong can follow us on the road, and the boat is very convenient and fast to take the waterway, it is estimated that we can go halfway to the road, and the boat can go back and forth three times, isn't it?"

The Ranger Commander faltered in the face of Edlan's suggestion, which was like a "demon's whisper", and he gritted his teeth, "Far Travelers will not forget your kindness, human general...... Travelers, take action! Carry out the general's order, let's evacuate the people!"

I have to say that these rangers are very efficient in their actions, and almost at the same time as the order is given, they quickly gather here from their respective hiding places and line up, looking like they can be pulled out at any time.

"Dnev, let the paladins disembark, we're ready to work. After Edlan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the injured chocobo rider, and he was a holy light technique, relieving the other party's injuries and starting a slow treatment, his actions won the favor of the High Elves, but in the face of their thanks, he waved his hand and didn't care, but he needed to know more information, so he asked, "Your general, what are the plans of Lady Sylvanas now?" If she still wants to delay the undead march, then cut off the land bridge as soon as possible. Blocking the passage can also delay some time, and it is very unwise to resist the army of the undead head-on. ”

"You're right. The ranger who reported the news continued to their commander: "The general orders us to take the bones of our compatriots as well, if we can't...... Low incineration...... Otherwise, he will be reawakened by the evil necromancy and become a member of the undead army. ”

The race of the living attaches great importance to the peace of the dead, and no one wants to destroy the peace of their compatriots after death, so after hearing such an order, the commander instantly understood why a human kingdom as powerful as Lordaeron was almost wiped out almost overnight!

What an evil thing to use the dead against the living, to awaken the bones of the dead, and to continue to serve death!

Edlan was relieved about this, a corpse that was not awakened was a good corpse, so he said: "Don't be so troublesome, as long as you pour holy energy or pour high concentration of holy water on the dead in the cemetery, you can stop it, we have more experience in dealing with these than you, although we all have the experience of losing battles." ”

"What about you...... How many clergy are there with you?"

"Including me, there are twenty-one paladins in all. ”

"Okay, then please come with me...... The rangers go collect supplies, bring all the supplies that can be used, and we will have a hard fight. ”

Soon, with the help of Edlan's group of paladins, more than a hundred tombstones in the graveyard of the Windranger Tower were infused with holy energy to ensure that these bones would not be desecrated by necromantic magic.

Here, through a High Elf translation, Adlan discovers a tombstone named Liras Windranger, the fourth eldest of the Windranger family, the youngest son of the family's doted on and the least powerful of the Windranger's family, who is said to have died in the war when the orcs allied with the trolls to invade Quel'Thalas. For this almost unfamiliar figure, Edlan maintained the most basic respect.

Soon this operation ended, the paladins were able to follow the 100 rangers left here, and Edlan was not in a hurry to see Sylvanas immediately, anyway, after evacuating the people, these rangers must be going to reinforce their generals, and the final destination of both sides is Silvermoon City, so it is natural to meet the famous banshee king of the "later generations". Moreover, in someone's "impression", the battle that has only broken out at the Elven Gate is currently broken, and Sylvanas has no chance of dying in battle, so he is not too worried, unless the second line of defense, that is, after the magic barrier that the High Elves are proud of, is broken, east of Sunny Wind Village, that is the place of the Ranger General's sad song......

......

While Edlan and the others began to evacuate the people, Sylvanas Windranger, the Ranger General of Silvermoon City, was leading the remnants of the Ranger Force, and more than 3,000 people were making a final effort, Haduron Brightwing was urgently dispatched to evacuate the people of the Sun's Sanctuary, the Far Wanderer's Land, the Star's Spire, and the Suncrown Village.

After a head-on defeat, the Ranger General knew that this was no longer a situation that her Ranger troops could handle, and after Sylvanas quickly sent scouts to inform the various camps and Silvermoon City of the situation on the front line, she herself led the main force to carry out guerrilla attacks and harassment in an attempt to delay the undead army's onslaught.

As for her other right-hand man, Lotherma Theron, who had been tasked with leading a tour of the front line in Zuaman, was confident that the other party would soon come over to check on and reinforce her after discovering her signal.

But what Sylvanas didn't expect was that Arthas quietly hid gargoyles, an air unit that he had mastered later, and after carefully designed tactics, they were hidden and scattered into the Ghost Lands, and their first mission was to hunt down all the scouts and set off a killing frenzy behind enemy lines!

This trick is indeed very effective, at least the scouts sent by Sylvanas to the direction of Silvermoon City were all wiped out, and the one who was lucky enough to arrive at the Tower of Windranger was also covered in scars, and also because he was just an ordinary elven ranger and did not have a big picture, he was attacked by a gargoyle halfway, and did not tell this important information in time, which also led to the inevitable miscalculation in the details although Edlan knew the "plot" and the general direction.

Because, after his paladin troops and rangers successfully evacuated the people of Windranger Village, when they escorted Qingzhuang all the way to the Moon Shelter, it had become a Shura field......

P.S1: The Blood Elf's Legacy Armor quest process has been completed, and it can indeed supplement a lot of unclear information in War3......

P.S2: In addition to those famous ones in the Holy Light Temple (the career hall of the Holy Knight), there are also many blood elf paladins who also have a little background, such as the two paladin trainers in Silvermoon City, who are also inside, and if they don't compare carefully, they are really treated as ordinary NPCs who serve as façade models......
