Chapter 134 The eldest sister is like a mother, and a mother's love is like a mountain
Aurelia is a hero who became famous in Quel'Thalas during the Troll Wars a few years ago, and naturally has her own ethics and beliefs. However, the long life and comfortable life made Aurelia, who admired courage and fighting spirit, gradually dissatisfied in her heart. For thousands of years, the Windranger family has been a member of the Silvermoon Council and a regular visitor to the Sunrise Court, and has been active in various fields of the kingdom, including politics and military, and has been respected by the world. But so what? As a witness and participant in the family's history, Aurelia is tired of endless political squabbles. A family is a family, I am me! In addition to caring for her three younger siblings, Aurelia is gradually downplaying her influence in the family. How much fame and status I have in Aurelia is not a reason for you to lie on my merit book and climb up.
The ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven may be a necessity of political ecology in the human world, but in Aurelia's view, her family is a kind of depravity by doing so, and this behavior is so ugly that it makes her sick. So Aurelia Windrunner hasn't seen his father, uncles, and uncles in over a hundred years.
At home, the two younger sisters are in a rebellious period, so don't mention it. Only his youngest brother Lillas, the simple and kind Lillas, can always arouse the love in his heart.
Named the younger brother, the young Rylas can be said to have been raised by Aurelia single-handedly.
After giving birth to Lillas. After Windranger, the mother of the four Windranger siblings died of a postpartum illness, and Aurelia took care of all the errands for her brother except for breastfeeding.
Because their mother's death could have a bad impact on their brother's life, the three sisters shared the need for motherly love in Lillas's childhood and childhood. However, when Rillas entered the youth, Sylvanas and Winresa gradually grew tired of the errand, gradually getting tired of being a "mother", and began to return to the identity of "sister" for Lillas. Aurelia, on the other hand, has always cared for her younger brother like an elder. Because in the process of growing up in Lilas. Aurelia paid attention and expected too much. In a way, in Aurelia's eyes, Lillas is another idealized, masculine self.
So even though the war was urgent, Aurelia returned to Quel'Salas and decided to go back to her hometown to visit her brother first.
However, when Aurelia went all the way north. The first thing I felt was the disturbance of the magic in the Great Enchantment. It didn't take long to discover the ruins of towns near the east, as well as the remains of the corpses of clansmen and trolls.
"The two of you split up and go to Silvermoon City and Quilleslyn to report the situation."
Although there were only five rangers around her, Aurelia was decisive in dividing her forces.
The first thing Aurelia sensed was wondering, why were the trolls able to go so far into the interior of the Great Barrier, and what were the patrol guards doing?
Immediately afterward, there was an anger mixed with pleasure. Aurelia had long spoken to the royal family and the Silvermoon City Council about the dangers of blindly believing in the Great Enchantment. The High Elves should build a second set of defense and early warning mechanisms in their territory.
Aurelia once advised the Sun King to at least learn from humans, or to set up a rudimentary beacon. However, before His Majesty the Sun King Anastarian could speak, the people of the Royal Mage School jumped out to object, saying that Quel'Salas's magical defense system was impregnable or something.
Aurelia endured and endured, and finally gave up on her advice.
The cost of building a hundred proposed beacons is not as good as you mages playing with an arcane puppet, what kind of reaction is such a big reaction, I'm afraid that the frontal soil method is easy to use, will His Majesty Anastarian cut your research funds?
And so far. Quel'Thalas had been invaded, but there was no survey force or defense corps to be seen. This is ample proof that the Magicians' vaunted Quil'Salas Magical Defense System is not the impregnable one that rumors have been rumored.
But ironing the magicians did nothing to improve the situation she was facing, and a sense of foreboding swelled up in Aurelia's heart, and uneasiness and anxiety began to grow within her.
The analogy of the dragon eagle determined that this magical creature was not suitable for long-distance flights, and it was also a reasonable choice to change mounts in her brother's village, and Aurelia gave such an order.
Before dark, the Ranger Lord Aurelia came to the place of impression. There was indeed only a scene of ruins and dried blood.
Ignoring the exclamations of the subordinates around her, Aurelia jumped directly from the saddle of the dragon eagle in mid-air, rolled on the spot twice after landing to relieve her strength, and quickly ran to the ruins to investigate the situation.
Judging by the extent of the burnt wreckage and blood stains of the wooden buildings, the battle took place at least three days ago.
There is not much corpse remains. Considering the size of the village and the cannibalistic habits of the trolls, either the village retreats or the troll army overwhelms the territory. Either is not good news.
Aurelia scurried through the ruins, relying on the route she remembered to make her way to the Windranger family's dwelling in the village.
When they arrived, the charred walls and ruined gates put an end to Aurelia's last chances.
"Lilas!" Aurelia screamed and rushed into the ruins of the house, but there were no survivors or corpses except for blood and the scorching blackness.
Calm down, you have to calm down! Aurelia told herself that there was hope without the body found!
After the other three rangers controlled the dragon eagle to circle and land, their subordinates found Aurelia who was investigating the scene.
"Lord Aurelia, please don't do such a dangerous maneuver again, what if there are still enemy troops lurking in the village?"
Aurelia, who had already adjusted her mood, ignored the persuasion of her subordinates and gave the order directly.
"Start a search and rescue effort immediately to see if there are any survivors."
Soon after, before the rangers could hear from them, the survivors of the village came to the door themselves.
"Lord Aurelia! Did the Sun King send you to save his people? ”
The representatives of the survivors wept silently with tears in their eyes.
"Please stay calm and tell me, what's going on?"
Aurelia's heart pounded, but as the Ranger Lord, she put Quel'Salas first.
"It's trolls, lots of trolls, and orcs, and a human like the dead."
It took a while for Aurelia to finally straighten out the whole thing from the survivors.
Runestones are stolen, trolls and orcs raid the village, and the Death Knight is involved in this massacre against the High Elves.
"His Majesty Anastarian will not leave his people alone, and you will soon be properly rescued and resettled." After reassuring the survivors, Aurelia finally asked the key she wanted to know. "Lilas, how is Lilas?"
“……”
Faced with the silence of the survivors, Aurelia felt like her heart was about to break.
"Please tell me, Lillas. Whereabouts of Windranger. Aurelia shouted.
“……”
Still no one answered Aurelia's question.
"As his relative, please tell me, please tell me."
Aurelia's voice grew lower and lower, and her heart grew colder. (To be continued......)
