Chapter 137: The Sun King is neither Louis nor Fourteen
Stepping through the majestic Shepherd's Gate, the former Silvermoon City Ranger General Aurelia . Windranger walked heavily into the High Elves' heavenly home, the capital of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and the brightest pearl of the Azeroth earthly world, the capital of all the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, Silvermoon City.
Along the Elder Walk, the bustle and bustle of the Garden Market and the Royal Trade District did not slow down the pace, and the residents of Silvermoon City did not receive the respectful courtesy they deserved from the heroes. Pushing aside the mere formalities, Aurelia walked into the court of the Sun without hesitation, wanting to express her anger in such an unreasonable way, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Once a trainee ranger, Aurelia was also the latest in the grandeur of Silvermoon City, enjoying the convenience of magic and being proud of Quel'Salas's power.
But as she grew older, Aurelia felt more and more that the magnificent and beautiful Silvermoon City was a huge prison cage that bound the pioneering spirit of the Queldore Elves.
While humans were still fighting alongside the High Elves, the High Elves lived in the Eternal Song Forest.
While humanity expanded its sphere of influence from the Arathi Highlands to almost the entire northern continent, the High Elves still lived in the Eternal Song Forest.
The facilities of Silvermoon City are becoming more and more perfect, life in Silvermoon City is becoming more and more convenient, and the people of Silvermoon City are becoming more and more satisfied, and the High Elves are becoming more and more xenophobic and isolated.
Out of some inexplicable concern, Aurelia has not set foot in this breathtakingly great city for a long time since stepping down from her position as Ranger General in Silvermoon City.
"Aurelia, long time no see, what makes you so emaciated?" Anastarian. The Sunstrider was summoned by the guards and decisively terminated a less important meeting. Make time to meet your former Ranger General.
Heroes, always enjoy special treatment.
"It is the shadow of war and the wounds of the loss of loved ones, great Sun King, your Majesty the wise and wise Anastarian, do you not know that Quel'Salas is being invaded?" Aurelia was amazed by Anastarian. Didn't the patrol report the information on the performance of the day chaser? From the troll invasion to the self all the way to the road. At least eight days have passed, and His Majesty the King of Quel'Salas doesn't know what happened to his kingdom?
"Please wait a moment, my child, it seems that something not so good seems to be happening in a corner I don't know." Anastarian had been king for more than a thousand years, and Aurelia's haggard and unexpected look and tragic words alone made the Sun King understand that there was no information asymmetry between the two.
Anastarian. The Sunchaser poured Aurelia a glass of morning dew, pressed Aurelia by the shoulders and forced her to sit down, then walked away quickly. After about a quarter of an hour, he returned to his room.
"Aurelia, you say, I'll listen." Anastarian returned to the room with a calm face and sat down beside Aurelia.
"Apparently, the trolls have joined the Horde, and they have been helped by the Horde in every way, from weapons to tactics to spellcasters. Warlocks among the orcs have discovered ways to deceive and shield the Great Enchantment. Our eastern rangers have been wiped out, and Rilas is dead......"
"I'm sorry......"
"Your Majesty Anastarian. It's not your fault, but we have to be decisive and we have to give the tribe a head-on blow! Quel'Salas is bleeding, the Eternal Song Forest is burning, and your people are weeping. Your Majesty, we need to mobilize the army. We need to mobilize in full force, and we will not be able to defeat this strong enemy with the Far Ranger troops alone. The trolls, who have joined the Horde, are now alone! Your Majesty. Mobilize for all-out war or join the alliance, we have to make a choice! ”
"Did you say that the trolls have mastered the way to shield or deceive the Great Enchantment?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"That's important!"
"Your Majesty, as long as the trolls are defeated, we will have time to track down this matter!"
"Aurelia, until we figure this out, we can't rule out that this is a big trap for the High Elves! I can't risk it! ”
Aurelia didn't react for a moment, stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses and couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Majesty Anastarian, since when did we Quel'Salas, our Queldore Elves leave the Sunwell, and there will be no war?"
"Aurelia, I'm really sorry for the loss of the Windranger family, but you are a general, you should understand that we Queldore elves are not humans, our number is much smaller, and in an uncertain situation, you want me to blindly send a large army to fight against an old opponent who has become a stranger?"
"I brought intelligence! I brought the information! I bring the anticipation of the tragic deaths and the people of Quel'Salas who are struggling to survive! They are waiting for the Sun King, whom they have always believed in, to save them! ”
"Aurelia, I'm not a ruthless king, you don't have to provoke me. In this case, I will arrange a discussion speech at once, and you can convince the Silver Moon Council, and I will support you. ”
Anastarian. So says the Sunstrider.
As king, Anastarian. The Sunstrider's decision was not wrong, Quel'Salas had such a complete magical defense system that had been exploited by the enemy, and for so many days since the enemy invaded, he had been kept in the dark, and the Sunwell, which had always been regarded as a solid backing by the Queldore Elves, might have gone wrong.
In this case, if the army is dispatched and falls into an ambush by the enemy, it is likely to be in danger of destroying the country and extinction. In the face of an unknown enemy, it is always right to be cautious and cautious about temptation.
But Aurelia in the midst of her pain didn't think so, she felt a deep powerlessness and grievance, and a stinging sense of betrayal. But out of the centuries for Anastarian. The trust of the Sunstriders, Aurelia. Windranger chose to accept the Sun King's advice anyway.
So, at the emergency meeting of the Silvermoon City Council, Aurelia made an impassioned speech and conquered everyone present with her beautiful voice and powerful speech.
The Council of Silvermoon City promised to raise an army of 5,000 men within a month to repel the enemies who invaded the Eternal Song Forest.
"Hahahahaha, it took me a whole day, no, it was a waste of a whole day to get such a guarantee! A month, another month! How many more people will die under the butcher's knives of trolls and orcs in a month's time! ”
Aurelia knew that the trolls and orcs were now tempting, only operating in the eastern and southeastern regions of the Eternal Song Forest, and if Quel'Salas could not respond reasonably, the invaders would be even more unscrupulous!
"I can't imagine that in the end, I will still use nepotism, which I hate the most."
It also takes a lot of time to recruit volunteers, and what Aurelia is lacking most right now is time.
Aurelia decided to use her previous influence to garner maximum support. (To be continued......)
PS: I was hesitant to write this chapter because I was applying realistic political thinking. In the case of unclear hostility, the disposal of the Sun King Anastarian is actually reasonable, which is cruel politics. So the audience who sprayed this tapped.
