Chapter 377: Lucky Veredith
Under the curious eyes of the human soldiers, Veredith followed the soldiers leading the way to the docks. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info around him, and the elven rangers who are responsible for his safety are also full of interest in humans.
For the first time in so many years since the Second War, the armies of the human kingdom have set foot on their territory.
While the soldiers compare with each other, they also judge the equipment and attire. They marveled at each other's dress habits as they tried to make themselves more energetic.
In this regard, all people of different races are the same, they all want to make themselves look more energetic in front of people of other races.
Veredith didn't have that much in mind, he was looking worriedly at the damaged buildings on the docks. The human bombardment caused several houses near the dock to suffer.
They were swept up by artillery fire and blown into ruins.
Fortunately for Veredith, there is a warehouse next to it where luxury goods are stored. The warehouse hadn't been attacked by human fire, and those who had lost their minds didn't seem to have any idea of it.
He was still worried that the human soldiers would take the contents inside, but when he saw that the human soldiers were just standing guard outside, his heart calmed down a little.
As he passed the burning pile of corpses of the Heartless, Veredis stopped, and sighed as he looked at the burning fire.
At the beginning of the loss of the magic of the Sunwell, the elves were in a widespread panic. They have been affected by magic for thousands of years, and they can't do without this thing at all. Soon, countless people lost their minds due to the inability to resist the frequent torture of demonic addiction, and they left their homes and wandered the wilderness and forests, searching for all the magical energy they could breathe.
The original Heartbreakers did not show great aggression, and at most they snatched the magical items in the hands of normal elves without hurting anyone.
In the initial period, the number of people who lost their hearts increased to a peak. Many elves who lack willpower have become heartless. Almost every elven family has them, which is why the Heartbreakers roam around Quel'Thalas, but no elves are seen trying to kill them.
The first is that they will not take the initiative to attack people, and secondly, they may be their own relatives, and who will attack their own relatives?
After losing the magic of the Sunwell for a while, the High Elves gradually adapted to the days without magic. The frequency of addiction has also decreased compared to before, and the number of people who have lost their hearts has begun to stabilize
Therefore, when some of the disheartened people gathered in Yangfan Harbor, Veredith did not react very much. He just asked the rangers who maintained order in the port to watch these disheartened people and not make trouble.
Gradually, there were elves who disappeared from time to time, but this was normal in Yangfan Harbor, a port city. Because of the high flow of people in the area, those people may have left the city.
With this in mind, similar reports were thrown aside by him. And the increasing number of heartbreakers did not attract his attention. In his opinion, perhaps it was the heartless people from other regions who wandered here.
And as a result of this, Yangfan Harbor was caught off guard by the heartbreakers who suddenly went berserk. He and his rangers were forced to evacuate the city before they could put up an effective defense.
The reason is terrifying, these are obviously different from the previous heartbreakers, they actually use magic to absorb the magic from other elves! Many of the elves caught by the Heartless were sucked alive into jerky, crumpled and without a trace of blood...
In the face of this horrific death, Veredith could not raise the desire to fight. What's more, he wasn't an archmage yet, and his abilities weren't strong enough to escape under the hands of this group of mindbreakers. He's just the manager of their family, and the family will find a way to reclaim it.
And all he has to do is report, and then just wait.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the human army from Lordaeron would actually beat this group of heartbreakers away?!
This embarrassed Veredith a little, could it be that their elves had fallen to the point where even human soldiers could not compare?
However, if the loss of the port is really investigated, he must be responsible, and he has not run away. Thankfully, humans had no intention of helping him. He considered himself lucky not to have to be transferred to a remote magic tower to study magic.
Studying magic and molecules all day long, how can it be interesting to eat and drink with nobles and attend banquets here?
After thinking for a while, Veredith put away his thoughts and bowed to the pile of burning corpses as a sign of respect for all the dead.
Soon, he was brought before the commander of the human force.
A very young-looking human officer, next to him was the comrade he had seen on the mountain.
Veredith was keenly aware that this young human general must be the commander of the human race here. This is not difficult to see, because all the soldiers around, including the same clan in front of them. Intentionally or unintentionally, to the young human general, to resist the attack path from all directions.
This made Veredith a little surprised, and he couldn't help but wonder, what is the origin of this young man? How can it have such a high status?
"Hello, Your Excellency. I am the commander of this force. Locke apologized and explained to Veredith, "I'm sorry, but we destroyed some of the buildings in the harbor to resist the attack of those madmen..."
"Hello, Human General. I'm Veredith Xuechen, the steward of this port. If I were in this environment, I would have chosen to do it. Veredith smiled and continued, "Actually, I should thank you for not hitting the shells in the warehouse area of the docks. Otherwise, I would probably have to spend the rest of my life in the Eternal Song Forest, studying magic in some unknown corner. ”
"......" Locke smiled and didn't say anything, he wasn't sure what the attitude of the elf in front of him was, after all, he blew up a few houses on his dock, this matter can be big or small, it depends on what he says.
"Hah, just kidding." Veredith straightened his clothes, then bowed and bowed to Locke, and said with gratitude in his mouth, "Thank you for your help in reclaiming this city from the hands of the Heartbreakers." Thank you! I will keep your name in mind, may I ask what your name is? ”
"My name is Rock Harvey, and you don't have to. I did this to protect myself. After thinking about it, Locke pushed Noelis out of the way, "This comrade-in-arms of mine is your compatriot as you can see. She cares about the heartless, can you tell her anything you know? ”
Veredith then turned his gaze to Noris, and he carefully examined Norris, as well as the longbow in her hand. The expression on his face was a little confused, and he couldn't help but say out loud, "You longbow ....., are you from the Morning Star family?" ”
"If you're talking about the Morningstar family on Queldanus Island, then yes," Norris nodded, "I'm from the Morningstar family. ”
"But didn't your family follow the prince to Lordaeron? Now it's said to be out there..."At this point, Veredith stopped talking, he glanced at Locke vaguely, and then looked back at Noris, "Didn't you go along?" ”
