Chapter 11 If I am the king (middle) I owe two more
The current twilight in Quel'Thalas can hardly be called a golden twilight, and the sunset on the horizon is more like blood.
The elves were rescued, and only thirty-three remained, six of whom were patrols from Quettalin, tasked with patrolling the western coast and clearing the lone undead along the way. There were ten of them when they set off, and the martial arts and magic were sparsely dead in this battle.
"Lord Sylvanas, are you really alive?"
A ranger who claims to be a subordinate, he is brought to Sylvanas in the twilight.
Sylvanas didn't know him, but that didn't affect the Q&A, the Ranger had enlisted at the Elven Gate after the Orc War. At that time, Sylvanas was already a Ranger General.
"We are the garrison from Quettalin."
"On the way to the coast, I encountered the undead besieging the cantonment point. Only leave the militia in the way, and break through with the spirits who have no combat effectiveness in the direction where there are fewer enemies. ”
"I want to keep this land, and all of us are not afraid of sacrifice."
“......”
Under the explanation, Sylvanas learned a little about the situation. Because the prince took most of the elite with him, it was difficult for the elves who remained in Quel'Thallas to survive, and the Ghost Lands were able to remain in the kingdom with the help of the Undercity.
When Sylvanas asked about the Undercity, the Ranger instinctively avoided the question. Not only this one, but the rangers who follow Sylvanas are also avoiding this question.
'They are all choosing to believe what they want in their hearts' Sylvanas knew full well that the Undercity was the city she ruled over in this world, the undead who helped Quel'Thalas. As the news spreads, sooner or later you will see yourself in this world.
Returning to the lands of the Windrangers with the rescued elves, they saw fields, canals, vineyards, and in the night breeze, sitting around the fire, the female rangers took out their harps, played and sang, and there were also couples dancing to the song.
The Night's Watch Ranger is on the defensive wall, occasionally smiling and humming an elven song. Farther afield, the real elite lurks in canals, in fields, on trees, behind stones.
"General Sylvanas, the civilians are willing to stay."
With just another night, the civilians made their choice.
"Put them in extra houses, and let them be trained as rangers from tomorrow," Sylvanas said to her men, taking the opportunity to say something else at the same time.
"I've thought about how we're going to evolve and not just stay in the Tower of Windranger. I want to build a military cantonment, with the Windranger Tower as the center, to the east, at a distance of one hour of support, and build four military cantonment posts with 100 rangers. In this way, after a season, we will be able to save a lot of food and control more areas. ”
'There's a lot more to the population,' Sylvanas didn't say.
Whatever the reason, Sylvanas's right and left men, High Priest Aurora, and Ranger Captain Hawksbill had no reason to object.
"Then do it," Sylvanas finally decided, and the lands still belonged to the Windrunners legally.
"It's a pity that no one wants to stay with the team from Quettalin," Hawksbill said.
"It also shows that they understand their responsibilities," Aurora receives: "Choosing to leave our position easily can be dangerous for us." ”
"Acting as a mole?"
"Lord Sylvanas, we need to be wary of any of the Elves of Lotharma."
"Yes, Lotherma will be hostile to any elf who opposes him."
The two subordinates had a deep-seated prejudice against Lotherma, and Sylvanas did not hear the second half of the conversation.
The four military outposts were first erected on a cliff near the sea to the north, with abandoned farmland and streams below. There is also a trail to the bottom of the cliff, where there is a tidal cave that is currently occupied by a school of lobsters and can be used as a food source.
Sylvanas was stationed here for the time being. There are no Arcane Golems, and for the sake of efficiency, large labor requires her stone elemental to help transport wood, stone, and pit wasteland. After building a simple fortress for the rangers here, she continued to move on to the next cantonment, which was built on the edge of a stream, and could be used to dig a useful moat using the S-shaped waterway.
Once she arrived, she was at work, and she couldn't stop until the elves who followed her were safe, and until Quel'Thalas could actually rehouse them. It is likely that you will also have to prepare for a clash with Silvermoon City.
If it did get to that point, Sylvanas expected that he would be able to control the bleeding again.
She was even more nervous now than she was on the first day she became a Ranger, but it was impossible to turn back.
"General, there's good news from the sea cliff sentry in the north" At the second cantonment point, Sylvanas, who was busy controlling the earth element, heard his subordinates excitedly say, "Fish oil has been extracted from the lobster's body over there. ”
Hawksbill next to him rubbed his hands happily, fish oil can be used as fuel, antifreeze, spices, etc., there are too many effects. If you have an apothecary, you can even concoct a multi-bladed bolt for the burning Mithril ballista.
"Everything is going for the better, isn't it," Sylvanas laughed.
————————————
"Yes, everything is going for the better, I thought so before"
Silvermoon City, Sunfury Tower, Lotherma sat in her room in distress behind her desk, a glass of amber liquor in her hand, but it was bitter in her mouth. At this time, it was wearing the green robe of the Far Traveler, and even if it became the regent of Music City, it did not change it.
When he turned his head, he could see the new appearance of Silvermoon City, as well as the pot of emerald thorn grass on the windowsill, which was used to warn him of flowers.
"Who can tell him why there are two Sylvanas?" This is the reason for Lotherma's troubles.
The queen wrote to him to explain if an elf was impersonating him, and the news from Quettalin was that it was Sylvanas Windranger. But he still couldn't believe that it was some kind of magic, or some kind of curse.
He was even more afraid of the one in Silvermoon City making a radical move. Even if there is no radical move, as long as the Undercity stops supporting, the Ghost Land will not be able to remain in the territory of the kingdom, it is a land left behind by countless elves who have fought day and night, and cannot be abandoned.
And the new Sylvanas took the exiled elves to the land of the Windrangers. They had fought like any other citizen of Quel'Thalas, and he had personally driven them out of their homes five years earlier. He could imagine what would happen if he let it go. His policies will gradually be questioned, then countless opposition will emerge, and finally the gradually recovering Silvermoon City will become chaotic and everything will be in vain.
There is also the secret of the incarnation of the sunwell.
"Boom-boom"
"Lotherma, I'm in"
"Come in."
"Lotherma."
"Hadurun, I know what you're going to say."
Haduron also poured himself a glass of Silver Moon Bordeaux and sat directly down on his friend's table: "Have you really decided to go over?" Those people might kill you. ”
"If it were you, you would have gone." Lotherma's answer made Haduron happy.
"You know me too well."
"I'll have to go and find out for myself"
"Bring the Blood Knight and our Ranger?" He Haduron said slowly, thoughtfully: "If it were true, what would you do?"
"I don't know", Lotherma frowned, "Do you remember the time under Sylvanas?" ”
"Of course I do, but what does it have to do with this?"
"I wonder if it's true, how many rangers will come back to her command if she shouts."
Haduron jumped off the table and looked directly into his friend's gaze, "Don't you trust your ranger?" Are you so unconfident? ”
"Those are your rangers too," Lotherma replied, trembling with anger for a moment, but after a moment his shoulders went limp. He really didn't have faith.
"Lotherma, my friend, what can you see from the window?"
"Silvermoon City"
"To be precise, the New Silver Moon City, the Silver Moon City built from the ruins. From the island of the sun to the village of Sunny Wind, we have rebuilt the kingdom. And the technology that Romans brought back from the Outlands, we pulled ourselves out of the abyss, all that happened when you were regent, so to speak, are you confident? ”
"Thank you."
