Unfortunately, this did not last long, we soon got on our assigned ships, Gianna, who had no soldiers to deploy, naturally followed me, and as a ranger general, she could only return to the elf's place, so she hurriedly led her own battleship south. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yes, we were still worried that Anubaraq might catch up with us, but luckily after a few hours of sailing, the Ranger at the Sailtop Lookout was no longer looking north, and I was confident that the Spiders would not be chasing us again.

Although I don't think they are our opponents at sea, I really don't want to fight them at this time, after all, not long ago, we were still allies, and we were still eating the food they gave us, and if we fought now, it would undoubtedly go against our will, and I was worried that the rangers would subconsciously form a sense that the alliance was not always unreliable.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not thinking about them, but looking at my current vehicle and this leisure trip.

The size of the undead warship is much smaller than our Terran warship, one can carry a maximum of 100 people, but even so, his travel speed has not surpassed ours, I believe that the military will not like this inferior warship. In addition to the inferior technology, the most unpleasant thing is his comfort.

Because this is a battleship to carry the undead, there is no place for people to rest except for the reserve. It would also mean that I would be lying on the horse-fed deck with everyone, and I would no longer have any privacy.

Of course, by private space I mean that there are no private rooms at night. It's hard for me to accept, and it's impossible for me to set up a conspicuous tent or a bedroom.

During the day, though, I was able to stay with the Sylvanas and talk about topics of interest, and she came to me not through Gianna's spells, or not often, but mostly through dwarven griffins.

I didn't expect them to become a means of transportation at this time, and they were happy to transport people who wanted to get around the warships. There were even soldiers who simply rode them around in the air. And the cheerful dwarves don't care that others use their mounts at will, after all, for them, being able to lie on the deck and bask in the sun does make them feel comfortable and don't like to care.

This kind of leisure is also because the work of driving a boat can be completed by only a few people, and even if it is rotated, most people will still have nothing to do during this time. The act of riding griffons was perhaps their best way of relaxing at sea, and it was also during this time that our races had a more harmonious communion, and even in the evenings we mingled with each other in boats that did not belong to us, and went to talk to our new friends about things of interest.

It can be seen that everyone is enjoying this wonderful journey. Maybe if it weren't for the fact that everyone was responsible for our war with Gilneys, they would have preferred the speed of the warship to be slower, including the elves, who were a little looking forward to going home as soon as possible because we were worried about our hometown. At first, I understood their feelings, but soon I felt wrong, because as the goal got closer, it became more intense, even beyond my imagination.

Are they all worried that their general will be abandoned by me, or are they worried that they will have to say goodbye to their general?

I don't think it's the latter, because they'll be together for quite some time, but if it's the former, I'd like to promise in public that I wouldn't fail her in the name of a paladin, and I should have made these elves not worry about anything.

However, I was wrong, and it was only when an uninvited guest came that I realized the real reason....... that they had come to join our Northern Expeditionary Army against someone's will.

.....................

In order to dare to go to the royal city as soon as possible, he did not go to the northern shore of Stasom, but went directly to the shore through the western coastline, yes, this is the fastest way to reach the royal city. But it is also because of this that we are also very close to the port north of Quel'Thalas, which means that we are about to reach the border area with the elves.

In fact, at this time, the rangers can leave and go back to their lives, or they don't have to follow us, and go directly back to the port of Quel'Thalas. Yes, they can't and don't need to join us in the war with Gilneth because they are out of the alliance, but Sylvanas chose not to hesitate to follow us back to the royal city to participate in the war that may still be ongoing. Maybe they don't know if they want to follow us on, or if they just give us the best ride. So the rangers' warships finally landed with us in the western region.

"Lotherma, you lead the troops back, and I'll go to Lordaeron. After the ship docked, everyone got off the ship. So, in front of all the soldiers, Sylvanas first explained something to her deputy.

"General, are you sure you're going now?" the politically savvy Ranger knew what that meant, and said something I hadn't expected. "You haven't greeted the upper side since you supported the Alliance's Northern Expedition, not to mention that we don't know the situation of the war yet, if it's still at war, are you sure you want to help Lordaeron in your current capacity?"

Yes, after he said this, I realized their situation, if the undead of the Northern Expedition can still be said to be reasonable, then joining the war within the human race is a matter of nature, and she is not the exiled Winlesa, Sylvanas is now the representative of Quel'Thalas. She's now joining our side to resist Gilneth is tantamount to dragging elves in as much as declaring war on Gilness, and it's a serious problem.

"Sylvanas, you don't have to choose that way. You go back with your soldiers first, and Gianna and I will come to you soon after the war is over. ”

"No, I swear I won't leave you when you're in danger, even if I lose my reputation as a Ranger General, or be exiled like my sister....Arthas, I'm going with you to fight those creatures. ”

"Sylvanas..."

I whispered her name, yes, I knew that such a choice would be subject to great public pressure, such as in Quel'Thalas, where she voluntarily renounced her name to follow a human prince, which would be tantamount to a traitor in such a political environment, and if human politicians would not treat her the same way as Winlesa, they would probably think that she was an opportunist, and even that she would be a stumbling block to our good relations with Kul Tiras, especially when the admirals did everything in their power to help us resist Gilneth。

I believe Sylvanas should know these results, maybe I should have persuaded her not to do it again, but at this moment, Gianna was with her, and snuggled up with her, supporting her point of view to me with body language, yes, Gianna at this moment, best understood Sylvanas's deepest thoughts. And, if she had her full support, Sylvanas would probably have a lot less public opinion here in the human race.

I didn't say anything about it, but put my hand on her shoulder and nodded firmly to her. Seeing that I agreed with her, Sylvanas nodded and turned to her soldiers again.

"Let's go, I'm not your general, I'm going to Lordaeron to fight for my faith. ”

At this time, all the rangers fell silent, as if they had thought of such an outcome, but their hearts seemed to become more hesitant at the moment, yes, I believe they also very much want to participate in our war against Gilneth. Perhaps, but there's another Ranger who undoubtedly will.

"Then what else do I have to say, I am originally human, General, if you leave, then I think it is time for me to return to my homeland. Nathanos said with the same firmness, and this invisibly brought some other elves who experienced life and death with us.

"That's... General, if you insist on doing that.. Then we'll too—" Lotherma said hesitantly, I thought he was going to Lordaeron with us, but at that moment, a teleportation circle appeared near us and disrupted the atmosphere.

.....................

I thought it would be Ronin, but soon I realized it wasn't, and in Gianna's uneasy face, I seemed to sense who it might be, yes, on his realm, and it should have alerted that guy to what we were doing now.

"Long time no see, Arthas! and Lady Gianna... I didn't expect you to kidnap my most elite troops. He said as he looked at the rangers and the few soldiers of our alliance, but quickly smiled again. "It seems that I have to thank you for helping me bring back almost the entire army, but you don't seem to be so lucky, and the losses are a bit heavy. ”

He teased us, but when I saw that the faces of all the rangers were gloomy at the moment, my thoughts that I wanted to refute changed instantly.

"Indeed, I envy a strong Ranger force like this, but our sacrifice is worth it...", I replied with some bitterness, and then changed my tone, "I hope you will forgive me, Prince Kael'thas, the situation did not allow me to ask for advice from your side, but I trust your sense of justice and will support us in destroying those evil creatures." ”

I bowed my head and replied to his questions as if I were his subordinate, and the result was only the anger of my own soldiers and the sympathy of the other rangers, and Kael'thas realized something, so he no longer prepared to joke with me, but became calm.

"You're really good at talking, Arthas..."In the face of my defense, Kael'thas couldn't help but calm down a little, and gradually revealed his bottom line, which I began to think was the main purpose of his trip. "It is our duty to destroy the source of the plague, but we peace-loving Arthas will not be involved in the war between your human race, and you should not want to drag us into your war. ”

He said with his fist raised, and then glared at Sylvanas fiercely, yes, everyone knew the reason for his anger at the moment. In this regard, I naturally cannot tolerate the attitude of the elven prince.

"Kael'thas, both elves and humans have their own choices, and I remember when you criticized us Silver Hand for what we said about raising slave acolytes, I don't think you would do anything against democracy. ”

I used to reason with him one of his words, but I seemed to have forgotten a basic common sense.

"But she's the Ranger General of Quel'Thalas, and she can't disobey the army, don't you know this common sense?"

I was a little speechless about this sentence, and it was at this moment that Gianna, who had been Dalaran's apprentice, stepped forward and confronted this Kenrito Councillor, and seeing this, the elf's attitude became as relaxed as it had been at the beginning.

"If she's not your subordinate, can she follow us to Lordaeron?"

"Of course, but as her boss, I need to hear her say the decision to leave me, don't I?"

Kael'thas smiled in response to Gianna's question, which angered me, yes, and that apparently contained some of his meaning that Dalaran was Gianna.

But that's not a big deal, after all, he's telling the truth, and I'm worried about the purpose of what he's saying. I think he should have heard some rumors about me and Sylvanas. That is, he knew that this was the time when it was easiest to shake Sylvanas's determination.

Yes, an excellent ranger general who has served for more than a hundred years will not subconsciously disobey the orders of her superiors, especially in front of such a person and the soldiers she personally led, it will be difficult for her to say the decision to leave the camp, and this is tantamount to putting my relationship with her into an extremely awkward situation.

"Kael'thas, I didn't expect you to embarrass a woman like this!" Muradin was a little overwhelmed, and his role as the first bystander blamed the elven prince, but was quickly retorted by Kael'thas and left him speechless.

"There is no distinction between men and women in the army, and I think you know that, dwarves. Kael'thas did not hide his stern expression towards us, and the tension of the situation made our soldiers feel angry, and it also made the elves feel uneasy, yes, they were really worried about how to clean up the situation if a fight broke out. After all, elves have to support their own princes, just like their own soldiers...

But this may not be the most serious, what worries me the most is Sylvanas's current thoughts, and this environmental pressure is all invisibly pressed on her as a client, and she is now with a low and already red face, closed her eyes and does not say a word, maybe Kaizi will succeed, because at this time women will always make concessions against their will.

At this moment, I really want to go over and smash Kaizi, but I think Kael'thas must want me to do the same, because once I am at a disadvantage, or on the oppressed side, Sylvanas's nature may really be on the side of the original. But if he didn't act, such an environment would constantly put pressure on Sylvanas.

Just as I was staring at each other, wondering what to do, Gianna stood up again, and her theories really overwhelmed the elven prince.

"Kael'thas, did you overhear our conversation in the immediate vicinity at the beginning, and couldn't help but show up just as Lotherma was about to say that she was going to Lordaeron. At this time, Kael'thas was shocked, yes, if he denied it, maybe with Gianna's current strength, he would be able to find some magical evidence. But with this attitude, there may not be any need for those evidences, because his hesitation and stunned expression has already made everyone understand that Gianna is talking about his heart. "By doing this, you are fundamentally embarrassing Sylvanas and forcing her to make a decision against her will.... Kael'thas, I respect you as my elder, and I hope you will be honest with us if what I said is true. ”

"Gianna, you're right, I've been here since the beginning, but I wasn't going to force Sylvanas like that. ”

"Then Your Highness, why are you doing this? Lotherma asked her prince, and the gesture immediately made Kael'thas angry.

"That's because I can't watch my most elite troops fall into the arms of humanity or involve Quel'Thallas in this Terran civil war, we're not dwarves, we're not allies, and we're not obligated to help Lordaeron fight against the werewolves of Gilneis!"

"If they eliminate Lordaeron, aren't you worried about your next target?"

Gianna refuted Kaiko's remarks, but he clearly had his own concerns as an elven leader.

"But if you Lordaeron and Kurtilas wipe out Gilneth, then the next target will be different. Kael'thas said something to Gianna in passing. "Yes, you Kul Tiras don't seem to be worried about this, for you have become vassals of Lordaeron. ”

"I promise not, I swear in the name of my paladin, we will live in peace with you, and if you are not at ease, you can completely let Sylvanas as a witness, after all, you elves can live for thousands of years, don't you?"

I said this, and Kaizi was obviously not as angry as he was at the beginning, maybe he realized something, such as Sylvanas coming to Lordaeron is a win-win situation.

"Oh, Arthas, you seem to have reminded me of something. ”

"Isn't your original bottom line that I won't take your Ranger troops away, you can rest assured. I only want to take Sylvanas and his human Nathanos, and I promise that our borders with you will always be where they are now, and that we humans will never set foot in your territory without your permission. I said so, and went over Sylvanas in Kaiko's presence. "Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, you don't use your so-called duties to pressure her. ”

I thought that my actions with Sylvanas would touch Kael'thas, but in fact, he was not moved at all, and even looked at me with some expectations, and I couldn't help but wonder if the purpose of his trip was not to break me and Sylvanas apart as I had thought at first.

"I guarantee this, of course, and I promise that she will come and go as she pleases as she did before, in the name of General Ranger....and not be accidentally exiled ..... Arthas like her sister, you know what I mean, right. ”

"Thank you very much... Your support. "I didn't answer his question directly, yes, I know he's figured it out now, and it was my secret instigation that made him make the reckless decision to exile Winlessa. And it's better not to confess such a thing, so I bowed deeply to her to apologize, and Gianna also acted like me, and Gianna showed a determined face, maybe she also realized that it was my conspiracy, but Gianna still did not hesitate to support what I did with her actions, which I was very happy about.

And this is like a slap in the face for Kael'thas, and he is not revealing my old truth, but looks at Gianna angrily, yes, at this moment I realize what he really thinks now, that is, he wants to prove to Gianna that I am a sinister and vicious, playful hypocrite. Yes, I should have thought that this was his purpose.

But seeing Gianna support me so much, maybe the idea that he reserved the most hope would also be destroyed, yes, he probably didn't expect that even when I was doing something, she would support me wholeheartedly, even like my 'accomplice'. On the other hand, if I had known from the beginning that Gianna was his purpose, then there would be nothing to worry about.

For this reason, he was very angry at first, but soon regained his composure, and then let out some innocuous cruel words, or renounced the declaration.

"No, I didn't mean that, I'm curious to see what Prodmore would think of this political marriage. With that, he turned to leave, turning to Lotherma and the other rangers. "Come back to Quel'Thalas, and none of you can get caught up in the emotional traps set by humans!"

In this regard, the rangers could only hurriedly bow their heads to us and go to keep up with their prince's pace. And I seemed to recognize that I had forgotten something.

"Wait, Your Highness Kael'thas, I want to ask you a little bit about the battle between our Lordaeron and Gilneth, we...."I reverently asked him, yes, if there were any other parties, I would definitely not look for him, but I was still worried about the news of my country. In this regard, Kael'tham, who was impatient, turned his head to us with our 'personal friendship'.

"If you go back to the royal city now, maybe you can catch up with the counterattack on Gilneth....hell knows, the combat power of those werewolves is actually as low as...."

He made no secret of his anger, and almost all the Lordaerons cheered at the news.

"Great..."

"We succeeded..."

Originally, Kael'thas didn't want to see us in this scene, but after hearing what was said in the cheers, he couldn't help but wonder, yes, he knew that we were just going to Northrend to eliminate the source of the plague, and it had nothing to do with Gilneth in the south. But it was at this time that Lotherma answered the question on her prince's face.

"It was our coalition that destroyed the demons, the source of the werewolves' power..."

"I didn't ask you!" Hearing this, Kael'tham's face turned even greener, yes, he knew that his own people had ruined his good deeds to a certain extent, but for him, Kael'thas himself had no choice but to fill his anger and personally lead the rangers back to his homeland quickly.
