"It's really good, from Silver Moon City to Maple Creek Valley, all the way, our reinforcements have been walking for almost a month, amazing, amazing."

When Darkan arrives in Maple Creek Valley, he is warmly welcomed by Aurelia.

But in private, such rumors and rumors kept coming, making the archmage extremely angry, embarrassed, and embarrassed.

The compatriots who went forward are fighting bravely, and the results are brilliant. And the reinforcements from formation to march, all the way to the end, all the way to the delay. He is at least a nominal dispatch officer, and he is not a professional military personnel, so he can't suppress these guys.

As a result, it took a week to transfer troops and a week to allocate supplies, and the journey took 12 days, which was originally less than eight days.

and the polite and honest Darkan silently endured the cynicism of those compatriots who were full of war.

"Marshal Aurelia, what are you interviewing me for alone? Blame me for the postponement? ”

Darkan saw Aurelia sitting gloomily on the newly made simple wooden chair, silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask with chagrin and anger.

"I don't mean that, Master Darkan, you've worked hard, it's hard to bring such an army. I don't know who came up with it, you really worked hard to stuff such a few troops with grudges together, but let you have a mage to lead the team. ”

Aurelia didn't mean to be sarcastic, but just comforted the archmage with the truth.

There are no factions in the party, there are all kinds of strangeness, there is no domestic system, and fools don't believe it.

Anastarian's idea was good, but it was a pity that the Sun King, who was in a high position, was too tall and radiant to see the shadow at his feet.

When it comes to fighting for their country, all the Queldore elves are good. But at the not-so-essential juncture, there's never a lot of fucking up within the military. There are many mountains and factions. Talk about relationships, talk about blood sources, recognize teachers, and worship people. The ranger looks down on the cavalry, the mage looks down on the law breaker, and all kinds of can annoy the commander to death.

And Anastarian in order to balance the situation. Except for the rangers of the Far Travelers, and the transfer of a hundred mages who are his cronies, the rest of the troops are all the forces of the great nobles.

It is not only to give Aurelia aid, but also to weaken the influence of nobles and councilors in Silvermoon City, killing two birds with one stone.

With the wrist of Aurelia's fame, it is not a problem to hold these guys down, the only problem is to suffer Darkan along the way.

"It's alright, it's all for Quel'Thalas."

Darkan also calmed down when he saw Aurelia so polite. Said gently.

"Has Your Majesty decided when to receive the King of Alterac?"

"Well, no, or I don't know."

"Master Darkan, a king who fought for Quildore, and our king pretended not to see it?"

Aurelia's breathing grew heavy.

"I'm sorry for such a great deal of kingdom to kingdom, king to king. I have no right to speak, and I dare not make up words to mislead you. ”

Darkan said truthfully.

"Then please ask me to communicate with His Majesty the Sun King. I need to talk to him. ”

Aurelia made a request.

"No problem."

Darkan readily agreed.

Even if the High Elves have a high level of magic, there are still not too many mages who can perform two-way video communication spells.

The theory is simple, but the difficulty of casting spells is too high, and even if ordinary people learn it, they may not be able to cast it smoothly.

From Darkan's casual response, Aurelia couldn't help but glance up at the archmage who hadn't had much contact with before.

Ordinary audio-visual transmission spells are nothing more than recording a piece of one's own video sound to transmit to the recipient. Then the other party will reply to you with a video voice in the same way, just like a pen talk, you say a word, I say a word.

It can be used, but the latency is huge. It is also susceptible to interference and snooping.

The communication spell cast by Darkan directly unfolded a magical curtain, and under the curtain, His Majesty Anastarian, the Sun King of Quel'Thalas, was clear and agile.

"Darkan, what do you have to report?"

Anastarian asked, still a little unpleasant at the Archmage disturbing him during his lunch break. Even among the long-lived elves of Queldore, Anastarian is the longest-lived. Although in terms of physical condition, this strong middle-aged elf is very healthy, but it is a feeling that his energy is not as good as when he was younger, and it still swells up in Anastarian's heart from time to time. Therefore, the Sun King is generally on his lunch break and does not deal with official business.

But when it comes to military affairs, there are always special exceptions.

"I'm the one who wants to see you."

Aurelia rose from her chair and stepped into the curtain of magic Darkan had cast.

"Aurelia, I'm glad to see you."

Anastarian laughed heartily.

"But I couldn't be happier. Your Majesty, the trolls and orcs have suffered heavy losses under the blows of the coalition forces, but they are still not something that my army can withstand. And because of your neglect, the king of Alterac feels insulted, and he has decided to withdraw his army. A king, who had so selflessly helped Quel'Thalas, left in a fit of rage. Because of you, Your Majesty. ”

In the face of Aurelia's accusations, Anastarian's magically simulated image had a smile on his lips like that of an elder looking at a naughty child.

"Is it really because of me? Aurelia, it's not that kid from Alterac I asked to come. ”

"But you're the king!"

"Yes, I am the king, so I ignored your accusations, both big and small."

"I'm for the people of Quel'Salas!"

Aurelia's voice grew louder and higher.

"Well, I trust you, in part because you're an easy little brute. Aurelia, listen up. If I want to receive the king of Alterac, I must invite him to Silvermoon City. So what about his army? Follow? So what's the use of inviting him? However, the friendship is too great, and I may have to pay a very heavy price for your recklessness. Human beings are always greedy and do not know how to be satisfied. Aurelia, you are too rash, if you ask a general for help, then everything is easy to handle, money, honor, magic items, magic weapons, always satisfy him. But you have invited a king, or a proud king. I have been waiting for his letters, waiting for his messengers. But there was nothing, he was waiting for me to open my mouth, waiting for me to reward him in a way that was befitting my status. Aurelia, I'm afraid I can't afford what he wants, and if I can't talk about it, it's worse than not talking about it. I ignored your king friend, not because I was rude, but because of your recklessness. ”

“……”

Aurelia is not good as a whole, a political veteran overestimates a political rookie, and a muscular king is waiting for a scheming king to invite him to dinner.

"Your Majesty, if you may, I would like you to authorize me as an envoy while I go negotiate with the king of Alterac. For the sake of your people, please. The Forest of Eternal Song is burning, and Queldore is crying, please. ”

Aurelia pleaded in a low voice.

"Darkan."

"The minister is here."

"As an envoy, help Aurelia deal with this."

"Yes."

"Uncle Anastarian, thank you."

"Hehe, when will you change your little brute temper."

After Darkan finished the magic communication, he couldn't help but think that there was Aurelia. For people like Windranger, Quel'Salas can still be saved. (To be continued......)
