Where to go from here3
These are short-lived, we still have to go back to our posts to treat the wounded, let us recover our combat strength as soon as possible to get there as soon as possible, if we can have a home here that can survive, this is also a minimum explanation for our people.
But to get there, you have to go through a large area called the Desert Land. From the information I received, I learned that it was not easy to walk, because the minotaurs and centaurs fought there for many years. In this war with the demons, the Centaur race did not join our coalition. This is enough to show that their hatred for the minotaurs is still so deep. So if you pass through their area, it obviously won't go very well. And I hope that Dai Lin's advance force can help us clear the way.
But when it comes to Dai Lin, the first thing that comes to my mind is that we have no news from him. Ronin is no longer here, and it is clear that the task of finding information can only be given to Gianna, who is also a powerful mage, although we don't want to leave each other at this time.
"I remembered one thing, how is the situation on your father's side, is there any news?"
I approached Gianna and asked, and Gianna expressed her concern.
"We've not been there since we parted on the coast east of Razor Ridge, my father went south with the civilians who came with him, and we went north to attract the main demonic force... Originally, we were going to meet him in the north after he settled the refugees, but now..."
"I feel the need to send an advance team to take a look, and I'm vaguely worried..."I wanted to continue to say what I thought, but I felt that Gianna shouldn't be nervous at this time, so I was a little distracted, but Gianna had already seen what I meant.
"Actually, I've wanted to go and see the situation over there for a long time, firstly, because I really don't know their location, and we don't know anything about this continent, where do you think they will go?"
"Go to the island of Theramore! If it was true, as the Minotaur said, Daelin went to the Dust Swamp, then he would have run the big island. ”
"That's right, I'll be over here!" Gianna said as she prepared to cast her magic, apparently eager to see her father as soon as possible...
"Wait. I motioned for Manic and the few remaining guards to come over, and motioned to follow Gianna. And they tacitly followed Gianna. "You go together, I hope you can find out where you are, the absence of news from that side always makes me uneasy. ”
"Hopefully I'll find them soon. Gianna nodded, yes, she knew she had to have someone on her hands, but she didn't forget to tell me one thing while she was leaving. "We're running out of food, and if Malfurion can't provide food soon, I think we can borrow some from Mavi first. ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, yes, I didn't count the food, and Gianna said that I naturally knew what to do. As for my movements, Gianna nodded understandingly.
Just as Gianna was about to leave, Lotherma appeared and he also heard my suspicions, so he also planned to go with Gianna, yes, there were High Elf civilians over there, and he also wanted to see what was going on over there.
"I also want to know how the elves who followed Daelin are doing. He said this, yes, I can understand his fear, the current High Elves in the Burning Legion, specifically after the betrayal of Kael'thas have changed a little, and have become a little more sluggish than before, especially after the end of the war, they have even appeared periodic mania. It's like they're starting to spread some kind of disease. It's just that the proportion of high elves here is very small, and some of the chaos they cause can't affect the overall situation...
Lotherma wanted to see the High Elves over there, and she should be so worried about them. Of course, I don't want him to go, because these elven rangers are in better shape than the other high elves, and they can still control the situation under his leadership. Of course, not only that, but most importantly, I am afraid that Lotherma will suddenly fall ill and become a burden while following Gianna, and if I can't bring him back unharmed, the temporary leader, I am afraid that it will become a criticism from the restless elves.
I was silent, but Gianna, who was eager, agreed to his request before I did.
"Come on, you elves can also make it easier for us to move. ”
So Gianna took them and left. I watched them go away and meditated on my hopes..."I hope they didn't have any difficulties...", and then went on with my treatment.
As the day passed, the number of wounded gradually decreased, and by the evening there were almost none, and I have to say that everything was faster than I thought, thanks of course to the Night Elves' Priestesses of the Moon, especially since they seemed to have a knack for the treatment of the High Elves whom I had no idea what to do. Of course, just in terms of the level of treatment, they are also a notch higher than us.
Seeing how grateful my troops were to their priestesses, I felt compelled to have them join us. Then I thought of Mavi again. But is it possible? If we can form an unbreakable alliance against the Burning Legion, but by the time the Burning Legion is over, our alliance will be dead in name only, and I doubt even that Malfurion will actually be able to deliver on his promise.
If you think about it at worst, if he refuses to deliver any food aid, I think we have almost no food to survive and then... I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when I thought of Mavi stabbing the demon with her sharp blade and the countless blades she flashed into the air. Yes, if we are enemies ... These things that I don't want to see are definitely going to happen.
I felt like I was overthinking it, so I quickly retracted it.
Of course, I was too pessimistic, and I was really uneasy, everyone was resting, and there was no news from Gianna's side, and I was also very uneasy. Because teleportation magic doesn't take too much time. If she didn't come back, it would only mean that she hadn't found Dalin, or that they were in trouble and there was no other possibility, and of course worse.
I feel even more uneasy when I think about this, and the Night Elves' food has not yet arrived, and the rest of the food has been used up more than half of today, which also makes me even more anxious now. Plus what's happening right now isn't so smooth and comfortable... I was really anxious.
But I can't show my inner state at this time, after all, everyone's relaxed mood can't change back because of my worries, so the best way is to use my holy light to heal the wounded soldiers all the time, and use the faith of a paladin to affect the mood of my own soldiers...
If you feel anxious, you have to make other people less anxious, which is really hard. Although it can be temporarily relieved in oneself while calming their mood, with their physical and mental exhaustion and practical embarrassment, their anxiety will also flood into their hearts in the short moment when they change patients. And this cycle of pain accompanies almost the whole day.
It was almost late at night, and when the last patient was no longer in pain, he could finally rest for a while. Of course, the so-called rest is only as the role of his own paladin, and as a leader, he has more things. When he said goodbye to the Yuezi priests who helped, he repeatedly expressed to them his current difficult situation, hoping to get their material assistance as soon as possible. But for my request, it is clear that these priestesses are not in charge. They could only promise to help me relay the message.
Maybe I should go to Malfurion, I know their Night Elves won't rest at this time. But I don't think he's going to see me. It was a turning point, a turning point in an era, and they were certainly negotiating the future of the Night Elves. And their Night Elves are not like us, their structure is very complete, if I were them, or if I had more than half of my current structure, I would definitely do the same. But I'm almost alone on my side now. The other dwarves and gnomes who were with me last night don't really have much status in their race, but they've been following us in Lordaeron for a long time... That is to say, at most they can represent their race, but as for the rest, they cannot represent their race at all.
I couldn't help but sigh at this thought, of course, this is not the most worrying, I know that Malfurion's conference table, any opinion will be spit out, and there must be some Night Elf commanders who have proposed to fend for ourselves, for which I just hope that Mavi can fight for us, after all, she is still more kind to us.
Goodwill... I also have some emotional factors in this thinking, and yes, I find that she is the elf I want more and more. Thinking of this, I still have the urge to find her, but when I go to her so late, I am still worried that the possible do-gooders are using this to attack her, although I have not yet found the do-gooders I am worried about among the Night Elves... Yes, I thought so, also because of some emotional timidity towards her in my heart, especially after she rejected it last night...
The more I think about it, the more disturbed my heart becomes, maybe my body has long realized that tonight is going to spend time with Gianna, and I haven't gotten along with each other for a long time, which obviously makes us cherish such moments even more. But now everything will be a ghost.
My sanity made me realize that this was extreme, so I knew that the best way to do that was to walk around and be in this quiet place. In the name of patrols.
At this time, the High Elves were no longer able to take on the work of the Night Watch. And the few remaining paladins were already very tired. Or maybe they thought it was a really safe place, and I didn't give such an order, so they all rested. After all, everyone knows in their hearts that it is almost unnecessary to go on patrol in our current state, and if the Night Elves really acquiesce to anyone or want to sneak attack us, then we have no possibility of resisting at all. But even if you think so, it's okay to make your own patrols, after all, it will also calm everyone's mood and let them know that I am with them.
When Nathanos, the human ranger from the High Elves, learned of my intentions, he wanted to join me, but I refused. Because I think the best way for him to stay in the High Elves and take Lotherma's place and control the situation there. And he's a human... There are no humans like those High Elves. To put it another way, he and I are of the same race, so I hope that he can establish his own authority at this moment, when Lotherma leaves, so that it will be more beneficial for the High Elves to be kind to us. Of course, that doesn't mean that Lothmar has any gap for us, but I think it's a bit more appropriate for us.
"Your High Elf people still need your care, at this time you should show your advantages as a human being, the current High Elves are different from the past..."
I told Nathanos implicitly, and I realized that I couldn't say any more, but he quickly understood what I meant. And agree with me.
"I understand, Your Majesty Arthas. ”
Yes, I think he understood, after all, he was human, and a human born and raised in Lordaeron. I think he's loyal to his country anyway. Of course, more than that, he is loyal to Sylvanas... He knew what he would do if she was still around... Thinking of this, I feel some cramping in my heart. And now, thinking about the plan to find the black dragon to take revenge, I really don't know that it's the Year of the Monkey.
However, when it comes to whether humans are still loyal to us Lordaeron among other races, of course I also think of the humans on the orc side, Tirio Ferdin. Because we and the orc Tirioferdin, to be honest, I haven't seen him for a long time, and it is said that after one wound he quit the battlefield and went to work as a doctor. I think he'd probably be treating the orcs if he survived, and yes, Thrall's lack of revelation of his death clearly means he's still alive.
Just like those priestesses of the moon who healed us, no matter how the political direction develops, as long as it is not finalized at the moment, he is going to save the dead. But now that his mission has been accomplished, it's time for him to come back, because the tribe is no longer the weak tribe it was back then, and the alliance is not the alliance that Lordaeron was when it was strong.
In addition to him, there is Taresha, the human woman who looks a little similar to Gianna, Sal's confidant, I think she should forget it, her magic, the role of her staying in our alliance, compared to the role she played in the tribe, is almost negligible, after all, she and Sal are still childhood sweethearts, and the difficulty of getting her back is tantamount to... She left me and went back to the elves, and I was even more bored when I thought about it. Of course, in Sarna's triumphant appearance, I was sure that she was alive and following him...
"Childhood sweethearts. ”
I silently said: I feel a little uncomfortable thinking about Thrall and humans, especially a human like Gianna in Thrall, but I also thought that maybe the Night Elves see humans with them is our perspective. Thinking of this, I thought back to Mavi, yes, if it's possible... Maybe when I'm as strong as Lordaeron again, Malfurion will use a similar trick to keep Mavi on my side by default... Of course, there is a more feasible way to really capture her heart... But when he thought of her, he thought of Sylvanas as a matter of course, and he instantly felt some inexplicable timidity towards her. Maybe their personalities are similar, or that there is always a shadow of her in her, and more importantly, Mavi is a lord, an existence second only to Tyrande, and her sense of responsibility will not make her lose her sanity in some aspects.
Maybe a political marriage, but only if I have the strength to stand up to the Night Elves, but that would have to go back to the glory days of our Lordaeron! I thought about it crookedly, and I slowly realized that my mind was really hot. Maybe it's just been reborn, who knows?
However, reason still forced itself not to fantasize about anything, but to return to reality and fulfill my duty of inspection. In other words, to put it bluntly, I completely give up and give up those unrealistic fantasies tonight, and the patrol is just a distraction, and I want to use a distraction to dissipate those chaotic thoughts in this dark night.
I forced myself to think about it, and the inspection work began in earnest. But it wasn't long before I was still worried about when I was going to fall into deep thought, and the best way to clear my chaotic thoughts came to me. Although I absolutely don't want this to happen....
Because I felt that a huge dark figure was watching me in the dark grass, and I should have concentrated on what I should have done...
