I didn't expect that Magasa had attacked our back, and most of the wounded, artisans and some reserve troops who had been left behind here were brutally killed by Magasa. Although it was only a short fierce battle, the flames and broken walls were enough to show the fierceness of the battle. But the most terrifying thing is the efficiency of this army, it can sneak into the city in such a short time, destroy so many soldiers and civilians, and when the war is unfavorable, it can immediately retreat, which is terrifying to think about. What's even more terrifying is that if our side fights against the tribe or the battle is stalemate, then it is only a matter of time before we are completely annihilated by the enemy. Now that I think about it, the reason why Gianna didn't help me in the battle down there was because the situation here might not be much safer than mine...

In general, I have never experienced such a brutal war, although we have won, but counting the soldiers and civilians, we are almost equal to the tribe, both of them are hundreds of thousands of killed, and we have to give up the northern fortress and the whole dust swamp area, where we have just built houses, farms, and heaven and earth, all of which must be abandoned to the tribe. But as far as the ending is concerned, this is acceptable, at least Gianna and her friends survived, and there was further support from Stormwind and Ironforge, plus a little support from Mavi. Either way, we're definitely ready to fight the Horde right now. And I'm determined to fight them, as is the case with all alliances.

Gianna, still conscious, saw my arrival, and she was ready to wait for me to take her into her arms as before, but just as he was about to do so, he spotted Mavi, and she chose another way, which was to hug Mavi. She knew that Mavi would come, and if she could give me so much in the fight against the Burning Legion, there was no reason why she should not show up when I was in the most dire situation, and Gianna was so sure that she didn't look surprised.

"Sister, you're finally here. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm late..."

"Don't leave this time, okay?"

"I've been resigned from everything the Night Elves, and I'll be loyal to the Alliance from now on..."

They communicated like this, and while they hadn't crossed paths much in the war against the Burning Legion, they didn't anymore, and they didn't seem to be strangers. In the end, Mavi's words shocked me, but if you think about it, it's not surprising that since she came to me, she naturally gave up all she had in the Night Elves. It's like Sylvanas back then...

I didn't think much of it, anyway it was enough for me that she would submit to our Alliance, especially when she said allegiance to the Alliance.

"Welcome, Mavi. I was really excited to see this day. ”

"Alsace... Your Majesty. ”

"I'm not a king now, and I don't want you to call me that in the future, Mavi," I said, taking Gianna into my arms, and placing my other hand on Mavi's shoulder. "Just like before. ”

Surrounded by Luo Ning and others, Mavi's Mavi did not refuse at this time, after all, he gave up everything he had just to be with me, and I naturally would not have a reason to refuse. Of course, I'm glad that Gianna was able to fulfill me like this, just like when I accepted Sylvanas...

But now is not the time to be warm...

After simply packing up the wounded and nearby supplies, we led the army to the harbor. And rely on the naval power of Bolva to march all of us here towards Theramore. On Birva's flagship, I settled Mavi and Gianna, and because of the tight cabin, I did not give Mavi a separate room, but squeezed her into Gianna's place, in order to treat Gianna as soon as possible. Of course, during this period, I naturally wanted to go and have a chat with me. After three hours of notice to the main commanders for a meeting in the flagship's conference room, I plunged headlong into their room.

At this time, Gianna was being treated by Mavi, yes, she didn't know how much higher than my healing skills, Gianna's injury was nothing at all, and here Mavi was not wearing her elaborate armor with the Night Elf emblem, she had already changed into the casual clothes of the Priestess of the Moon she had brought, and because it was a room, she didn't comb her hair almost to her ankles, but let it hang down and lower her head to release a soft light towards Gianna.

I like her very much, and there is a thin and powerful being hidden under this waterfall, and this existence is completely attached to me, but compared to Gianna, this attachment sometimes carries a certain coldness, although I am sure that this coldness is only aimed at the enemy, but it does not allow me to act recklessly against her on any occasion, and as it is, the more I feel that the more I feel the sense of accomplishment in conquering this being.

After Mavi almost completely regained Gianna's physical strength, I also lifted Mavi's hair without Annai's own restless heart. This time, though, she rejected me, because it seemed to her that she had important things to do and couldn't be bothered.

"Arthas, you'll have to wait for me to finish my care. ”

"No, I'm fully recovered, and there's still some time left before the meeting..."

Gianna smiled and said yes, she understood the current situation, and she did regain her injuries and strength. But Mavi was clearly not talking about her body and her current condition.

"Your hands have been eroded by the destruction technique you've used, and I think I can try it. ”

Gianna couldn't help but smile at this answer, she knew very well what the after-effects were, that is, her hands were no different from the dry carrion of the undead, and Isera was probably the only one in this world who had the ability to restore her. But this time Gianna didn't cause her hand to become like this for the sake of the world's resistance to the demonic invasion, so it was impossible for Ysera to sacrifice her strength to save Gianna who volunteered to do so because of the war between the races.

"Only Ysera has the ability, but she won't help me..."

Gianna shook her head, but Mavi wasn't referring to Ysera, but herself

"I'm not completely sure, but I feel like I need to give it a try. As she spoke, Mavi took out her dagger and prepared to cut off her hair. And such an act was stopped by Gianna. "What are you doing here? ”

"I have the power that Ysera has given me in my hair, and that's why I've kept it to this day, and now it's finally coming to use..."

"Ysera's power?" I said as I said this, and I seemed to feel it in her hair... I realized something, but I soon had some doubts. "And what do you do with your hair?"

"Melt into Gianna's palm and rejuvenate her!"

"It's not necessarily going to work, it's going to cost you a head of hair, and it's not worth it. ”

"Even if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to keep my hair long. He couldn't help but touch his stomach as he said this, and Gianna realized something, and that was her situation, and although Gianna hadn't experienced it, she still noticed Mavi's twin bodies.

"Alsace kids?! Seeing Mavi nodding, Gianna said excitedly, and I was slow to react to a burst of consternation, yes, I didn't expect it to be like this, but anyway, I deserve to celebrate for something like this...

Once upon a time, I also wanted to have my own children, but this situation has always been unpeaceful and I really can't distract myself from dealing with such things, once I thought that my undead experience would cut me off this ability, but now everything is superfluous.

"We elves have always been low-fertility, especially when we have the protection of the World Tree, our Night Elves are worse than the High Elves, although the High Elves and humans have crystallized, but so far there is not a single crystal of Night Elves and humans. So I'm going to cherish this opportunity. As for the long hair, I won't cut it off, so I'm going to try to use it to heal Gianna's sister's hands anyway. ”

"I see, I'll cut your hair... Mavi, since you have been denied your title by your superiors and have come to our alliance, then you are no longer the lord of the Night Elves, nor the high priestess of the moon, but my lady, second only to Gianna's princess, so you can no longer leave me as before, you and our children should belong completely to me and our alliance, and as for you really to cut your hair short, then I will do it, let me defile your beauty. ”

I pointed at Mavi's chin and said, yes, that's what I said to Mavi, Mavi lowered her head when I let go of my hand, and I removed the delicate headband from Mavi's head, and compared to the others, Mavi seemed to only care about this thing, but when I took it off, there was only a subconscious gesture of reaching out. I didn't know it was something Tyrande had given her, but I thought it was important to her, so I traded it for the dagger in Mavi's hand, smoothed her hair, took her into my arms, and gently cut her hair short.

Mavi closed her eyes as I cut her hair, and it was clear how much she cherished her long-standing hair, which seemed to me to be as much history as her past as the leader of the Night Elves, and the growth of her new hair was a testament to all she had in the Alliance.

I handed her waterfall hair back to Mavi, and she put it in Gianna's palm to meditate on something, and soon these hairs turned into soft energy to moisten Gianna's hands, maybe it was too much energy or something, these energies even filled Gianna's whole body, and Gianna bathed in such power, and made her body more and more young and energetic, the hair that was once gray has also returned to the golden color of childhood, of course, not only that, when all the power is absorbed by Gianna, she is like a new life, and this is not at all the beauty and beauty that magic can modify, and after going through so much, Gianna is also more and more noble.

Gianna and I couldn't believe all the changes, but she knew they were gifts from Mavi.

"Thank you Mavi, thank you for doing this for me, thank you..." Gianna hugged Mavi again, and I took the opportunity to surround them both. If there is anything that can be done, it is only that there can be no one less, as expected before. And for more than two hours, like at the beginning, we were still able to do something.

When we came out, Mavi's subordinate Mana and the others were already waiting behind the door, and although they were still in their previous costumes, their logos had already been changed to Alliance. Seeing them like this, I seem to realize a very real problem, that is, I do lack some personal guards now, and some close maids, after all, Gianna, as a mage and leader, she has almost no time to clean up the room, and I am naturally not used to it. And their respectful appearance is obviously the right person to have both.

But that's all for later, Mavi came out next, she no longer needed the heavy and wide armor that could hide all her hair, but instead wore the Ranger suit of Winlessa that Gianna had asked Ronin for a long time, although this was a High Elf costume, but unlike other High Collar clothes, it had the Lordaeron logo on it, and their bodies were familiar and they were both shawls and silver hair, which really made her fit perfectly.

Seeing this, some things are self-evident, but compared to others, Luo Ning himself knows that this uniform may never come back.

But that's not all, when Gianna reappeared in a new way, everyone felt even more breathless, because they felt Gianna's strangeness, but this strangeness could not be expressed publicly.

I entered the room with all of you, and the commanders I had gathered had already entered and started talking about the matter, and it was clear that they had already discussed it, and had discussed the results, and were waiting for me to make a decision.

But before that, Gallisus and Froud and Berva gave a description of the battle, and as I had guessed, the Tribal Navy was far more powerful than I expected, and they had relied on Captain Greenskin's pirate fleet to raid our transports, and then try to attract Gallisus to escort them. But the route from the Dust Swamp to Okaz Island is very long, in order to eliminate Captain Greenskin once and for all, Garithus gathered all the ships and fought with Captain Greenskin, but this happened to fall into the trick of the Horde, and the main naval force of the Horde also wanted to eat our main force, and finally fought a war of encirclement and counter-encirclement on the north side of the Dreaded Coast, with Captain Greenskin Pirates in the innermost, Garrissus in the middle, and the main fleet of the Horde in the outermost. This sandwich situation is very unfavorable to Garissus, although the situation has improved after the intervention of Gloder's air force, but the situation is still with the fall of our large-tonnage ships one by one, so that the situation is still developing in the direction of our defeat, until the battleships of Stormwind City Ironforge led by Berva are supported, the Horde's fleet was repulsed, although we completely wiped out the main force of the Greenskin pirates in this battle, but we also paid dozens of warships like the Horde, and compared to the Horde's kind of battleships, we except for the flagship of Garissus, the rest of the large-tonnage Kurtilas battleships were all sunk。

Gallisus blamed himself for the state of the war, but who could say that he had done anything wrong? if it had been my fault, and if it hadn't been for Birva's timely help, perhaps I would have ruined the entire alliance that had followed me.

"This war was all my fault, I underestimated the power of the Horde, and we were almost destroyed. But now that we have new support, we have to give them a good look, so what advice do you have? ”

I first blamed myself and asked everyone, and as soon as I had finished speaking, Gather continued to give his opinion.

"Of course, it's to level the Echo Islands and completely wipe out the Horde's navy!" Gallisus, who was still scarred from the treatment of the priestess Simana, was the first to suggest to me, yes, it was the first time for him to be tricked by an orc, and the loss of his troops would make him feel extremely angry and ashamed, and he naturally wanted to be disgraced by the next war.

His angry determination also led many other commanders, and they all agreed with this advice, yes, whether it was revenge or the big picture, it had to be done, but I would like to hear if there are any other suggestions.

At the same time, Falic offered a realization.

"It is inevitable to attack the Echo Islands and completely destroy their navy, but it is not necessary to retreat all the land forces to Theramore, because it is not where our cavalry and men are good at, and since we have taken the initiative at sea, there is no possibility for the enemy to land on the island, so we must use our mobile forces in their own positions. ”

"And what do you want to do?" I asked my closest friend, Falik, who was now a qualified general, and who knew me better than anyone else, and was more loyal to me and Gianna.

"Since they can raid the hinterland of our alliance, we can also treat them in the same way. And they're far less mobile than I thought, and a handful of Wyverns are a bit of a nuisance, but as long as the sea gives the horde enough of a threat, then I dare say we'll be able to establish an advantage on land. ”

"Where do you mean going?" I asked, and his answer was the same as I had guessed.

"Go to the hinterland of Mogaore, the centaurs are very familiar with the situation here, and when we attacked Bloodhoof Village, we already had the possibility of bloodbathing their other villages, so if they invade our homeland, then we will also destroy their homeland, so that it can also involve the main force of the tribe and give us more options in future tactics. ”

"That's a good idea. I said this, but at this moment he set his eyes on Mavi, and I knew that his intention was to give him this task, after all, whether it was familiar with the terrain or the relationship between people and horses, or even for her to show loyalty to the alliance and make contributions to the alliance, etc., in any aspect, Mavi was indeed the most suitable person. But that was before she got pregnant. Faric's eyes moved many of the other commanders present, and they understood something...

They also knew about the relationship between Faric and me, and many times there were things that I should or should not say through him. Moreover, almost all the commanders were extremely hateful to the tribe, and they were very supportive of Falik's suggestion, so they expressed their support one after another, and according to Faric's eyes, some people began to suggest that Mavi should be the commander this time.

Obviously I'm not going to let Mavi go, and I think it's time to make Mavi who she is now. "I think Mavi is the most suitable, but she's pregnant with my baby now, and I can't put her in trouble..."

My words made everyone whisper, yes, they didn't expect it to be like this, and unlike in the past, when I had all Lordaeron soldiers under my banner, half of the human soldiers were now from Kul Tiras, so everyone, including Falik, turned to Gianna. Gianna made a statement on my behalf and gave Mavi her rightful identity.

"The late General Sylvanas Ranger and the former High Priestess and Lord of the Ashenvae are second only to me as Princess. Please don't have any objections," Gianna said, but seeing that everyone was still silent, she continued to talk about something. Some Mavi can have chips for this identity. "Although Mavi is a Night Elf, her contribution to our alliance is also obvious to all, if it weren't for her, maybe we would have starved to death in the Gray Valley, and the wounded would not have been treated. And when she silently helped us in Arthas in her original dragon form, they were already together so much that they conceived a child, so she deserved this title. ”

Gianna's words left no one to disagree, and the episode ended. Instead, we discussed the specifics, such as how to do it. Finally finalized the plan of Garissus and Ronin, but Faric's plan was cut in half, because our human war horses are not necessarily suitable for the climate of Mogore, so this task was handed over to the centaurs to complete, after all, the island is relatively small, and the vengeful centaurs may become a difficulty in law and order if there is no matter, so it is better to leave such a thing to them, of course, it is still Farik who leads them, Muradin and Ronin and some of the hard-fought griffin knights of Flaude, of course, as regret for Mavi's absence from the land battle, Mana and half of the priestesses assisted Faric.

Unlike us, the troops led by Falic were to stay at Theramore by transport, land in Tidefly Bay in the south immediately after being recharged, and then turn to the south of the Dust Swamp to the west, and then pass through the southern part of the Barrens to reach Mogore. As for the other priestesses, they still went to take care of Mavi and the civilians, and of course it was not only the remnants of the recruits who returned to Theramore, but also the army brought by Garissus to defend themselves against a possible airship raid by the enemy. The rest of the fleet and transports, as well as the human cavalry and some of the main army forces, were assembled at Okaz and awaited a possible landing battle against the Horde. And the main fleet of the alliance that I led will also go to Darkspear Island to fight a decisive battle with the main troll force entrenched there and the main naval force of the tribe after a little rest on Okaz Island.
