The brief and scholarly discussion was finally over, and Anastria Sunstrider regretted to "return" to his kingship from this brief period of complete relaxation.

After all, in normal times, the conflict of political opinions between the parliament and the king is commonplace, and almost every time there are various calm "quarrels" and political games behind it, which makes it difficult for the growing sun king to parry. It's just that today I was able to "waste" a lot of time on irrelevant topics for those parliamentarians, which made Anastria's face very happy, and my body and mind were relieved a lot.

Moreover, the Sun King himself is also a powerful mage in the first echelon among the mortals in the world, so he is also very interested in the new spell research topics thrown by other mages. A discussion on a topic that is not bad, a topic that can temporarily put aside the burden of kingship, and an opportunity to listen to the opinions of other mages, this is a rare thing for a king who has been burdened by heavy state affairs and has ruled for more than 2,800 years.

In the same way, these members of the Silver Moon Council also feel that after such a long "quarrel", now they finally have a suitable opportunity to relax a little, do their favorite things, study and discuss magic, which is really much better than playing those dirty and boring politics!

As for the defense of the country, there was a foolproof magical barrier, and they were not worried at all! And they had already sent Sylvanas and her ranger troops, plus other professionals and a large number of Silvermoon City guards, a total of 15,000 regular troops had already reached the second line of defense, monitoring and defending against a possible crisis, although this crisis was completely negligible.

As for the problem that almost the entire Ghost Land has fallen? It was not the traditional territory of the High Elves in the first place, it was snatched from the hands of the Trolls of Zu Aman, it was originally a vast and sparsely populated High Elf Kingdom, and many citizens were reluctant to migrate and immigrate to the Wraith Land, but in order to monitor the growing Lordaeron and the feud Zu Aman, they had to do so.

Topics such as "whether the land of ghosts is suitable for my people" appeared countless times in the "quarrels" of the imperial council, but for these countless "quarrels", the elves of the immortals had too much time to quarrel (waste), so that the king and the council have not come up with a clear plan, and have always acquiesced in the fact that the defense force composed of rangers is defending in the land of ghosts, and has also migrated a group of adventurous clansmen and relatives of those rangers to settle in the land of ghosts.

Therefore, in such an environment, it would be better for some people to lose the Ghost Land, not only saving them the saliva of continuing to "quarrel", but also better enriching the defense force and population of the Yongge Forest, which is more conducive to high-level control of the country. After all, the state of the long-lived species is generally more lazy, and the higher the population density, the more convenient it is to manage.

So under all kinds of objective and subjective conditions, Adelan was almost cold in the main hall for at least twenty minutes!

If this were a short-tempered person, it is estimated that he would have left angrily by now, but Edlan watched the almost final "harmony" scene in the court of the Sunseeker with the eyes of a dead man.

Because seeing this, he also more or less understood, just like a person who pretends to be asleep can't wake him up even if he uses urine, a person who is unwilling to save himself, how can outsiders save him?

"Oh, my councillors, I know you're all very passionate about the study of spells, but we can't let that snub you, and I apologize only on my own behalf and to the Silvermoon Council, Mr. Edlan, thank you again for your valuable information......" Anastria was still sitting in that upright position, not even nodding his head, still looking down from above, without making Edlan feel any apologies or gratitude, "...... Is that all you want to convey and warn our country about?"

Hearing the Sun King's inquiry, Adlane wanted to directly throw out the new topic of "there is a traitor among you", but after experiencing so many "encounters" over the years, he had learned that when his identity and strength were not enough to "follow his word", he simply gave up the practice of using the pale form of language to prove his correctness.

After all, you are a foreigner, without any evidence, without even knowing what the other person looks like, to accuse a person you have never met! Adelan is naturally referring to Darkan, the traitor who buried almost the entire Quel'Thalas for his own selfish desires, but now that he has not been revealed, Darkan is still a respected archmage of Quel'Thalas!

Therefore, even if Adlan used the method of death advice, he would not get any effect immediately, unless Darkan himself showed his feet and was caught in advance, but an old coward who had been disgruntled and secretly acted for many years would be caught so easily?

And even if Edlan succeeds in making the Sun King vigilant and sending people to monitor it, how can there be no one who has a good relationship with Darkan among the councillors here? 2800 is the reign of the king, so what about the members of the Silver Moon Council? Edlan has no idea how long these people have been in the position of councillor, and what their network is, and rash action will only make him angry.

Therefore, Edlan hesitated, but still did not tell the truth, "...... There are some former mages who will throw themselves into the arms of death to become necromancers, and there are also some high-level members who have been transformed into death knights, and all high-level members of the Scourge can command low-level undead, with these high-level members they are a complete army, if not, they are simply awakened corpses...... As for the composition of the army of the undead, I think Lord Sylvanas has already reported to you, as for the rest...... No, Your Majesty. But I have a proverb for you in the human world. ”

"Your experience is useful, I will remember it. Speak, then, human proverbs. Anastria said this, but there was not the slightest hint of humility in his tone.

"The strongest fortresses are often breached from within. Edlan said solemnly, his eyes fixed on the elderly High Elf King, but the other party did not react much.

It was clear that Anastria hadn't listened, but he did get a little upset. Although they didn't pay much attention to whether the Wraithlands were alive or not, the millions of undead were indeed a real threat to Quel'Thalas's safety, so after hastily agreeing on the reward, he waved his hand and sent away the "Lordaeron Emissary", which was now a dead country. The Sun King will continue to argue with the councillors, whose private soldiers will he send to fight the undead? How can he convince the other party? How much profit will he have to give up to persuade the councillors to mobilize their troops?

This is the biggest headache for the Sun King right now.

As for the question of whether to call Prince Kael'thas and his entourage back, everyone unanimously felt that there was no need for this, and there was no need for the crown prince to come back in such a "small scene". The Sun King didn't want to disturb his children's studies, and the councilors didn't want the prince to return to lead the army, and if the prince led the army and won the war, and finally gained merit, it would be very undesirable for them to fight for power in the future.

As for whether to do a good job of evacuation and evacuation of the people, this is very unified, and none of the high-ranking people here will choose this kind of situation that almost tells everyone that the country is about to be in turmoil, and Quel'Salas will not be swayed by those few undead at all, in this case, he should transport his own people (harmony) to other places for refuge? This is an extremely unfavorable situation for the rule of the top and the stability of society, and the resettlement of civilians who have been withdrawn from the Ghost Land is enough for them to drink a pot, so how can they have this time to do any thankless things......

Edlan left with the palace attendants, just as he came disappointed and left disappointed, he didn't even want to mention that he could take this opportunity to help Quel'Salas train a group of paladins, what could he say?"

Believe it or not, the entire Silvermoon Council and the Sunstrider royal family immediately fried the pot, and probably treated him Edlan as Arthas...... If you really say such a thing in front of these high elf executives who are so arrogant that they have no friends, it will be tantamount to a slap in the face! I'm afraid that the information that Adlane said before will be suspected of being conjecture.

This is a country that has been sleeping, and perhaps only after a painful lesson will the phoenix become nirvana......

......

The High Elves were very generous, and gave each of Edlan and his party a High Elf-style enchanted weapon as a reward, and almost every paladin got a phoenix double blade, and even Herold, who was extremely unaccustomed to using two-handed sword weapons, was excited that he could have a high-quality two-handed sword!

As for Edlan, because his weapons and shields are dragon-style, and his armor is enchanted by dragons, the Sun King specially gave him a holy deed of the "Blazing Redemption Sacred Codex" compiled by the Sun King after studying some holy light energy.

Compared with the previous "Healing of the Light" written by Alonsos Fao, this "Healing of the Light" is more inclined to exert the healing and auxiliary nature of the Holy Light, and this "Blazing Redemption Sacred Book" is more inclined to exert the aggressiveness of the Holy Light! This is a very valuable treasure for Edlan, who is determined to follow the path of punishment!

Although the Sun King's research on the Holy Light Energy is relatively shallow, but this characteristic of being infused with flames by the Sun King, after being made into a "magic jewelry", the damage increase to Edlan's divine spell is obvious, just hanging on his waist, he feels that this Holy Covenant is very compatible with him, which makes him even happier, the burning effect caused by the Holy Flame will definitely have a qualitative leap, he feels that he can finally hit higher damage, otherwise it will always be so much "dps", in having so many "blue" In this case, I can't say it, now with the increase of the Holy Contract, I am finally a veritable hero-level paladin, right?

These treasures may seem astronomical to mortals, but in the eyes of the rich Quel'Salas, they are nothing more than a little kindness to the outsiders who saved the lives of their people.

Later on the second floor of the hotel, in Edlan's room.

"My lord, the councillor you asked me to check is a bit of a problem, he hasn't been on leave for several days, and as far as his magic apprentices are concerned, he locked himself in the room, which is eerily quiet, and if it weren't for the fact that the self-destruction technique in the house hadn't been triggered, the apprentices would have thought Darkan was dead inside. After all, even the servant who delivered the food was not allowed in, and the servant with the broken mouth even swore that there was no one in the room...... "Lady Denev dutifully began to report on the task that Adlan had given her.

"That's it......" Edlan was a little disappointed, but at the same time, she felt that it was enough for her to be able to find out this information, at least she could be sure that Darkan was going to do it in the past few days, the defense line of the entire Yongge Forest was not too long, with Darkan's identity and strength, if she wanted to sneak out, how could those grassroots soldiers find out?

"Then go ahead with your mission, but remember that no matter what happens, remember to make it your best priority. ”

"Yes!"

"We've been allowed to stay here, and even though Quel'Thalas doesn't say anything about it, I think we'll be allowed to stay for a few days. So you'd better check what we're doing here every day, and if you're separated, remember what I said, stay away from the sunwell, go to Yangfan Harbor, even if it's mixed in with the flow of refugees. ”

For Dnev, Adlanti's first awakening she could understand was concern for his subordinates, but the second ...... This near-absolute speculation and blind confidence that Quel'Thallas will be overrun by the undead, and even Silvermoon City or even the Sunwell will be destroyed. Denev didn't take this to heart, even though she was born in Dalaran, she had heard countless times from her parents about the power of the magical barrier of the Eversong Forest, and as long as it was there, Quel'Salas would be an absolutely safe country!

And so, with distrust and the confidence of the same High Elf in the magical barrier, Dnev went on a secret mission, while Adlan had nothing to say, continuing to train the rookie paladins who came out with him, while waiting for his application to assist Quel'Salas in his defense work to see when it would come to pass.

After all, their team of twenty-one paladins has very few people in front of a country, but it is also the regular and official armed force of another country, and it is very inconvenient to move in the capital of another country, especially in this situation without any permission, so the necessary application is necessary.

The past few days have been boring and dull, and after gradually getting used to the luxury of the High Elves, the rookie paladins have slowly become fresher, and they have devoted themselves to Edlan's personal teaching, and Herold's growth is obvious to all.

After this guy changed from a warrior professional who could only dance knives and guns to a paladin, he still retained his fighting style when he was a warrior, and integrated the paladin's martial arts into it, and even found a set of combat methods that were very suitable for him, such as the paladin's version of Sword Storm......

This is enough to shock everyone's jaws, Edlan thought that this thing was also a dual-professional, but the talent of the warrior was too good, after learning the martial arts of the paladin, the use of holy energy was integrated into it, and the specialty of the two professions was combined, although it still seems relatively immature now, but in time, this guy Herold will definitely become a powerful paladin.

This reminded Adlan of Duke Berval Vertagen...... That old guy is alone in the "afterlife" to support the chaos of Stormwind City, protecting the little prince Anduin Wrynn, and whenever a horde player slaughters the city, they have to face an old warrior with extremely high skills and talents...... So if we continue to grow and develop like this, Herold will be able to grow to that height in the future, right?

A few days later.

It was a foggy morning, and with the blessing of Silvermoon City's special magic, no one would feel that such a fog would bring a humid and stuffy environment, but it was unusually dry. The paladins were about to start their morning exercise under the leadership of Edlan, but the palace attendant who had received Edlan arrived in a hurry, bringing with him permission from the Sun King to assist in the defense of Quel'Thalas, and a shocking news for the High Elves—

The magical barrier that surrounds the Forest of Eternal Song has failed......

Compared to the panicked High Elves, the human side is much calmer.

"My lord, you really said this......" Herold was also stunned when he heard the news, because in the past few days in Silvermoon City, he had learned more than once from being despised by other High Elf civilians how much they believed in this magical barrier, and he also had no good impression of these human paladins who wanted to come over opportunistically to defraud the royal family's treasures, and in their opinion, these human buns must have been infatuated with the beautiful and fertile environment of Silvermoon City, which made them reluctant to leave.

There is a feeling that my good things have been spoiled by my native relatives in the countryside.

Edlan knew about this, of course, but he always told Herold and them, "How to train your heart, this is a good opportunity", so all the paladins began to ignore this deliberately instigated racial barrier. He figured out what it should be a bad thing that the idle egg of the councillor secretly screamed about, and he didn't have the heart to care about that, after all, all the truth would be revealed at that time, so why bother with the guy who was dying and didn't save himself.

"I'd rather it wasn't ...... me said," Edlan muttered to himself.

"What did you say, my lord?"

Edlan patted Herod on the shoulder, and said seriously: "It's nothing, Herod, you take this token, I want you to rush to Yangfan Harbor with Alan and Amin immediately, give the token to our captain, and let him return to the territory quickly, and drive all the ships that can be used, those long ears will be used soon." ”

"Uh, yes!" Herold took a cross-shaped token from Edran, and beckoned Alan and Amin to reflexively go to the hotel.

"Wait!" Edlan called out to Herold, "once you've completed your mission, you'll just be able to follow the ship as a defensive force." Stay safe on the road and find a place to hide if you can't do anything!"

Herold was stunned when he heard this, he had never heard such a strange order since he joined the army, but the good quality of a soldier made him salute again and obey the order.

"Bang!" Edlan clapped his palms and motioned for everyone in the small square to look, "Alright, boys, let's go buy some time for those long ears." ”

......

Edlan's primary target is naturally Sunny Wind Village, and he did so much to put it bluntly, not so that the fate of a certain ranger general should not be as miserable as the "future generations", and it is far more comfortable to communicate with a straightforward soldier like her than an old politician like the Sun King, and it may be better if she is in charge of the overall situation in the future? But Kael'thas should also be easier to talk to, right? After all, at that time, for the survival of his clan, his stature can be described as terrifyingly low.

But that's all for later.

By the time Edlan led the remaining seventeen paladins to Sunny Breeze Village, it was still safe, and an organized evacuation had begun. When the team rushed further, they found that the second elven gate separating the Ghost Lands from the Eternal Song Forest had been breached! The army of the undead in Arthas did not choose to take a detour at all, and passed almost straight through the already spacious Ellunda River.

The ranger troops led by Sylvanas and the army sent by Silvermoon City turned out to be the same tactics as before, resisting head-on!

Even with the addition of priests, mages, warriors, blade carts, and even dragon eagles, Quel'Thalas's defensive power is nothing but nothing in the face of the army of the undead who have the advantage of being outnumbered!

Those majestic and high-spirited defenders, those who share the same hatred, although they fought with all their might, although they were very cold-blooded to kill their "comrades" who had just died and awakened by necromancy, they were outnumbered, they were powerless to save this defeat, they could not even delay the offensive of the undead scourge!

At this time, Sylvanas's hope that the stars and the moon would come to the Sun King personally to command the most elite mage legion in Silvermoon City to meet the enemy was disappointed, and she was waiting for a human paladin army of only eighteen people whom she had only met once......

P.S1: The nostalgia suit is open, and the PVP servers are full at 6 o'clock...... The queue is all 4-digit bottom...... This figure will definitely be higher during the evening rush hour. So is it really hot or is it supported by the business of studios and streamers? It's really hard to say...... If you look at the server status after a month, it may cool down a lot, right?
