The team was exhausted by the continuous journey, and when they reached the once burned goblin town on the southwest side of the Dirty Bay, the Dreadhorn Outpost, Falic decided to let his troops rest that night and prepare for the next day's dawn.

When stopped, some of the dwarves prepared to cook and walked up to Ronin to ask him to help light the fire, but this behavior was quickly stopped by Manik, because in his opinion such a move would be discovered, and the dwarves with high freedom were very reluctant to do so, but there was nothing to be done. In response, Nasha, Mavi's deputy, stood up to the priestess, and although she did not have any status here, she decided to go and persuade Farik as the commander.

"Commander, I can guarantee that there will be no tribes within a five-kilometer radius. Nasha made a squatting ritual and explained to Faric the feasibility of cooking over a fire. "That is, you can make a fire and cook. ”

"How can you guarantee that?" said Falik, taking it for granted, yes, although in the war against the Burning Legion, except for Mavi, Manic did not see any other priestess fighting on the battlefield. Moreover, Nasha was a woman and made a condescending and respectful appearance, and Falic took it for granted that she was a weakling, especially since I also explained that I was responsible for their safety, and it was obvious that he took it for granted that these women were weak. Nasha didn't say anything to this, just pointed to her ears and eyes, yes, they even had better eyesight than the High Elves, and their good hearing was good enough to make them aware of their surroundings. Of course, not only that, but after Nasha's eyes revealed the same determination as Mavi on the battlefield, Manic suddenly thought of the opposite, such as I seemed to say that they were also good on the battlefield. Knowing this, Manic who despised them said uncomfortably, "Just in case." But this apparently did not convince her as a priestess.

"My sister and I scout the neighborhood. But before that, it's best to have a hot meal for all of our soldiers here. ”

"You can't go out. ”

"Are you still worried about us tipping off the tribe? ”

"Of course not. Falic hastened to explain. "It's just these four weeks... Very dangerous. ”

Faric said this, of course, there are other reasons, such as this was once a relatively prosperous town of goblins, but after being slaughtered by us, it became so decaying, and it was precisely because we did not burn this place, so there is still a lot of evidence of our crimes nearby, obviously Faric does not want these Night Elf priestesses to know, of course, there is what he wants to express, then this is already night, and this place is indeed very dangerous. But what Manic overlooked, and that was...

"We Night Elves are more accustomed to operating in the dark. And our master, Mavi, has arranged for me to keep you safe. Naturally, I will not put you in possible danger. ”

"I'm sorry, but that's what our king told me, so I don't want you to put you in danger. ”

"Faric, as a commander, you can't be bound by some requirements, as a commander, you must be very clear about how to benefit your troops, rather than deliberately protecting anyone, which will restrict the entire army, and observing the surrounding reconnaissance situation is our specialty, we do this, not only to ensure that our raid is not discovered by the tribe, but also to ensure that our troops can get a good rest, so that it is more beneficial to us. ”

Manic was a little hesitant, but at this time, Ronin spoke, he seemed to understand something, such as the temper of some elves, many times some feelings are combined in the quarrel and passage between humans and elves, just like he and Winlesa at that time, and Ronin also realized in their arguments that Mavi and I had this intention, and he also noticed that there were many shadows among them similar to me, Tulajan and Ronin himself.

"Lady Nasha is right, we must ensure that we are not detected in this raid, otherwise the sneak attack of our entire army will fail. Luo Ning agreed with Nasha and said, of course, Faric was a little reluctant, and he was very unhappy that his Luo Ning, a friend who had gone through too many trials together, actually turned his elbow out, Luo Ning didn't think so, and even arranged another mission for the Supreme Commander Manic here as a similar commander. "Since you have promised Arthas that you will take care of them, why don't you go with them? ”

"Ronin?" Manic seemed to be aware of Ronin's thoughts, but in response to the question, Ronin used a spell to tell Manik's brain some private words directly in this way.

"Believe me, that's what Alsace and Mavi want. ”

"But..."

Manic questioned Ronin, but at this time, he found out that Ronin didn't speak, and Ronin used spells to send some information to answer Manik's questions.

"Remember, I have seen some of the future, you can't escape your fate with Nasha, and you don't have to escape those fate. ”

In fact, Luo Ning has not seen this, but he deceived this paladin friend like this, after all, he was originally regarded as "alternative" when he and Wen Leisa started their relationship, although because Wen Lei and himself did make a great contribution (saving the Red Dragon Queen), plus my strong support, so no one criticized her for having elves of the opposite sex around Luo Ning, but Luo Ning still appeared to be not so comfortable in the jealous eyes of his peers and others on some occasions, and so on. Obviously, Manic is like this, and he can somewhat alleviate this feeling of himself, and add an 'alternative' like him, and he is also very aware of the benefits of having an elf girlfriend. Thinking of his friend, he decided to make up the lie that he had foreseen their future to trick Manik.

Farik was helpless, yes, he knew something about Ronin being able to see the future, and he didn't suspect that Ronin was lying to him. He was thinking, if he really said that his other half was this night elf, he was still very willing, after all, he had long been very envious of Luo Ning having an elegant elf like Wen Lesa by his side, and in the war, he had also seen their elves in the war, which seemed to be weak but agile and interspersed with the battlefield, although they did very dangerous actions, but in fact, it was something that was easy for them. Such an act would make anyone want such grace, especially if one of them could attach themselves to it, and Nasha was clearly such a brilliant elf like Winlessa.

Especially with Ronin's indirect reminder, Manic seems to have sensed my intention to give him to take care of the priestesses (in fact, they don't have to take care of them at all on the battlefield), which is to really let these priestesses really stay in the Alliance. It's just that the sudden situation caught him off guard. However, at this time, his mind was not quick, and Muradin, who was a former martial arts teacher of Manik, also began to reprimand his apprentice.

"You should take your responsibility, there's nothing to worry about here, you and her go around to scout the enemy. ”

Maybe everyone's attitude has been clear, that is, let Falik act with her, yes, everyone knows what this means, after all, the Silver Hand has been lost for a long time, and the infiltration of the black dragon in Stormwind City has also killed many paladins in Stormwind City, which makes the paladins who are already regarded as treasures in the alliance army even more precious, and as these excellent representatives, Falic has been committed to the front line, and now that he has become the CEO of Kul Tiras, it is time to think about something。 But at this time, Nasha still spoke, she was not as embarrassed as Manik, maybe the Night Elves did not have eyes, and of course, maybe she was also the same as the High Elves to enjoy the attitude of other races towards her

"Commander Falik, are you going with us?"

"Lady Natha, if you don't feel like I'm holding you back, I'll follow you. ”

In this way, under Farik's sincere reply, they acted, and under Nasha's arrangement, each Night Elf observed the situation in groups of almost threes and twos, and of course Manic followed Nasha here. And Nasha is different from Mavi's silence, she is still very active in communicating with Manik, and out of curiosity, Manic is also very eager to understand the Night Elves.

Along the way, he asks a lot about the Night Elves, such as their beliefs, history, and their relationship with the High Elves. In this regard, Nasha told him about the time when Azhara ruled the entire elven world 10,000 years ago, as well as the fall of Azhara and the introduction of the Burning Legion, as well as the battle between their priestess Druid and the Burning Legion, and then detonated the Well of Eternity, causing the old Kalimdor continent to be introduced by a huge amount of sea, resulting in the current continent being torn apart. Of course, this history is almost the history recorded in the dark night.

Of course, there are also things that happened in the past 10,000 years, such as Darth Remar High Elves assisting the Night Elves in fighting against Aishara, but a thousand years after the expulsion of the Burning Legion, they tried in vain to reshape the Well of Eternity, so they had a serious dispute with the Night Elves and failed, and were exiled to the continent of Azeroth by Malfurion. Then Darth Rema used the only remaining water from the Well of Eternity to create the Well of the Sun, and with the help of some magic interference stones, it was well hidden, and even the battle of quicksand last thousand years ago, yes, if it wasn't for the Night Elves who took the initiative to transfer the battlefield to the continent of Kalimdor at that time, maybe humanity would have been wiped out at that time and so on.

It took a long time for Faric to realize what he thought, but by this time Nasha had already informed Farik that her men had helped her patrol her direction. By this time, Falic had already learned about Nasha's situation, and yes, she had wanted to come for a walk with her. And in this regard, as a paladin, Falik finally couldn't let himself be silent, after all, when expressing her heart, it would not make her very embarrassed to let her take the initiative to say that she had to do something, or say something.

The inexperienced Manic thought for a moment and first thought of this sentence.

"Nasha, in fact, we are very grateful to you for joining the alliance. ”

"We Night Elves are loyal to our master, Mavi, and since she has chosen to be with Arthas, then we will naturally obey your will, Lord Mana, so please don't call me 'you', if you are above the subordinate, you need to call me 'you'. ”

"I'm not a lord, I'm just custodian of Kul Tiras, and I only recognize my status as the captain of the guard. ”

"You seem to enjoy your position as captain of the guard. ”

"All my accolades were won at that time, before that I grew up with Alsace, and I honestly really miss the time when we were kids, when he showed great talent and more importantly he took good care of us and recognized us, and I was loyal to him not only because he was a king. You get the idea. ”

"But to tell you the truth, as far as I know, your position as captain of the guard will be given to me after the war is over, and you may have to think that I will take over the work at that time. ”

"Perhaps, but then we can talk again. ”

Faric said happily, but Nasha asked rhetorically:

"Can't you do it now?"

Falik was speechless when asked, and he still didn't respond positively to her question, so he changed his way, and even became a little nervous...

"So, can you tell us about your situation, your relationship with Mavi, I think you, as her closest person, must have some story. ”

"It's very similar to my experience with Mavi, who I grew up with and joined the Luna Temple, and she has always been the best of our priestesses. And she took great care of us, in fact, everyone thought that she would be the successor of High Priest Heldney, after all, the High Priest was very old at the time, and existed almost at the beginning of our Night Elves. And there are many indications that the high priest is also preparing for the aftermath and training Mavi to take on this position. But it wasn't until the addition of Tyrande and the invasion of the Burning Legion that she seemed to focus on Tyrande, but even then they were actually equal, but the High Priest gave this responsibility to Tyrande before he died, many people speculated that it was because Tyrande was better than Mavi, but I think it was because Mavi was sent on a mission at the time and was not around. ”

Hearing this, Faric nodded, yes, he had seen Mavi's combat power, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the limit of mortals, and it was indeed a bit unreasonable to say that such strength could not become a high priest, of course, Falik obviously not only observed this, but also had some character relationships.

"It is said that Mavi and Tyrande do not have a good relationship. Mavi thinks that Tyrande has always been a novice and naïve in her thinking, so she shouldn't be subordinate to Tyrande herself?"

"No, that's what Mavi wants to show people, so that it can show that Tyrande has a big heart, so that it is more suitable to enhance her image. Moreover, Mavi's younger brother was the commander-in-chief of the Burning Legion at the time, not the war you imagined Marfurion commanded, but neither of the sisters was keen on power, and even now, Garrod did not participate in a new confrontation with the Burning Legion, but had been guarding the fortress of Feather Moon in the Firas region of our southwestern territory with Tyrande's daughter, Shantis. ”

"I see... You've certainly been through a lot over 10,000 years, but to be honest, I'm surprised to know what made you decide to leave the Night Elves and lose your noble status to our Alliance. Is it love, please understand, you have experienced so much and it is incomprehensible, especially Gianna has stood firmly by the side of our king. ”

"Maybe if you have that 10,000-year experience, you will understand, 10,000 years of loneliness is probably waiting for a support..."Nasha's explanation was a little confused, but she reversed course and explained the reason in another way: "I'll say it again." You can also recall Arthas's experience from the time before the invasion of the Burning Legion to the present: he was killed by Kael'thas and resurrected as a puppet, and then abandoned after being ruined by the behind-the-scenes efforts to ruin his reputation, and then the indomitable Arthas gathered all the forces he could muster to continue to fight against the Burning Legion, and Arthas, who could not return as an undead, could only choose to go to Stormwind to indirectly help Varian defend against the Scourge and the Burning Legion, but he recognized the Black Dragon Princess and killed her, and then after being teased by the Black Dragon King, he was saddled with a reputation for dishonesty and made him live in guilt for the death of Sylvanas and your companions。 Then, although he was saved by Crassus, he was forced by the Red Dragon Queen to become his spouse and was rejected after all kinds of devastation, but he still persevered until he arrived here, and he was willing to bear the difficult task of nine deaths arranged by Gianna. And it's all experienced with Mavi, don't you think these experiences won't move Mavi?"

"It's... I don't know these details, I don't know that the king has been through so much before this, it seems that some of the rumors are true, and I thought they were all lies made up by some rebel militia to inspire everyone. ”

"Then why do you think those are lies?"

"Actually, to be honest, I've been through so much with him, probably no one knows him better than me except Gianna, and I think he will unify the entire continent with the power of Lordaeron. And the means and methods used are all for this goal all the time, but the invasion of the orcs and the appearance of the Burning Legion of the Scourges completely broke the original plan, and Gilneis, Oakrant's death-seeking behavior also helped us to take over them in the name of justice, otherwise I would have thought that our king would use other ways to unify, and I have almost participated in these conspiracies, and I also firmly believe that he has always wanted to become a more powerful existence, so the paladin he studied, and used some means to win the trust of Ronin, and created the contradiction between Winlesa and Kael'thas so that she was expelled The way completely came to Lordaeron, And Sylvanas and her elite ranger troops, even his political marriage with Gianna at the beginning of me, even Gilne's werewolves and Marlan and so on... So..."

"But he is not as dark as you think, things change with experience, and many evil things cannot be escaped by himself after all, and what Arthas did does not mean that his heart is dark, as Tyrande's first deputy, Mavi also helped Tyrande do a lot of things that the high priest could not do. And Mavi has also done a lot of wrong things, and even some things have endangered the safety of the whole world, but this does not mean that they are all dark, in fact, many times she and Arthas are similar, so it is precisely this that they walk together. ”

"Really?"

"Of course..."

They questioned each other, and then they all smiled at each other, yes, these things should be something that neither of the most confidant people on either side should say, but now they have all said it.

"But I still have a question in my mind..."

Farik stopped asking, but she couldn't say it, but Nasha stopped, and she pressed her eyes against Farik as if trying to read his mind.

"Is there anything that's hard to talk about?"

"I want to know what you will do with you and Mavi, who have joined us in such an identity, if there is any conflict between the Night Elves and our alliance in the future. ”

"It's very unlikely, the Night Elves aren't belligerent, Arthas isn't what you think, he's the kind of person who gets his full desire endlessly, and he's been proven in the Red Dragon Queen... In fact, he had a chance to get all the power of the Red Dragon Queen, but in the end, as long as he left, the Red Dragon Queen began to give him the power to transform into a dragon, which was enough to prove that he was definitely not the kind of selfish person. ”

"And such a thing,"

Nasha nodded in explanation, apparently she had something else to say to Falik.

"If, according to you, didn't your companions who grew up with you, Melwyn and Thassarian, also be used by him? Arthas also needs your loyalty, so he nurtures you with his abilities and powers, and entrusts you with important tasks. Nasha explained, apparently catching Falk off guard, yes, not themselves. "But it's nothing, none of the people you speak to you are fools are, they could all abandon Arthas after his downfall, but none of them do, and when you all think he has been sacrificed, don't fold his banner and continue to fight. Even those of your companions that I mentioned after they became undead, didn't they insist on following Alsace, who had fallen into disarray. It's not that he's taking advantage of you, he does crave power and power, but he prefers to have people like you, to support him, to trust him. For example, at Thrall at that time, Arthas let him go privately, did he think that these orcs would become your slaves and fight for him? Obviously not, but now the hostile situation with them is also the choice and growth of Thrall at that time that surprised everyone. ”

"You're right, we're loyal to him definitely not because he's a prince, but because of our closeness and trust and—" Falik couldn't express it, but something suddenly occurred to him. "You know so much. ”

"We Night Elves are close to nature, so you can't even notice when we observe you. "Nasha explained this prevaricatingly, and also explained other things, in fact, anyone who sees you like this wants to be in your midst, so that's why Mavi sees Arthas as her final destination, because she also wants to be in such an environment, and it will also be more conducive to the relationship between the Alliance and the Night Elves..."

Falik nodded in agreement with what Nasha said, until she reached the end, when Manic interrupted her continuation as he suddenly realized something.

"We humans only have a lifespan of a few decades or a hundred years, and you can survive countless epochs, how can we say that your final destination is with us?"

"After the World Tree was planted, we received the blessing of immortality, but with the fall of the World Tree, this blessing disappeared, and we are now the same as the High Elves, only with thousands or even tens of thousands of years of lifespan, but I have experienced too many years like Mavi, if we calculate according to the average elf lifespan, we are already considered old, and nature will end our lives at any time, so I don't want to leave us with regrets. ”

"I see. Falic nodded, he now understood somewhat of the meaning of the illusions that Ronin had said (which actually lied to him), and the meaning of her and Mavi's coming here, of course, these meanings were understood by them. That's why Mavi chose this place, not wanting to spend the end of her life in the midst of all that tedious politics. ”

Nasha also smiled at Faric's statement, of course, some things were obviously not something he could understand. So his self-explanation is also a good statement.

"There may be more secrets that I don't know, but I never doubted that she would do so, and when Arthas appeared here I knew that she would definitely leave the Night Elves after the war was over, and the reason why she didn't accept Arthas's retention in the first place was because she was a lord, the leader of the Wardens, the high priestess second only to Tyrande, she still had a lot to arrange, and she also had to take care of the High Elves who were plagued by demons. Nasha said this, and she also changed the subject, that is, she continued to explain the knot in Mana's heart, or the knot in the hearts of many people in the alliance about Mavi's identity, that is, she was interrupted by Manik. "And as for what you are most worried about, what will happen to us if the League fights us, in fact, the answer to this question is actually something else you can think about for yourself, just when Uther and Arthas turned into undead and faced off, Sylvanas chose to shoot Arthas who was controlled. Sylvanas, who was in the shadows, couldn't have missed, but her hesitation helped Uther have a reaction time and blocked the arrow for Arthas. As Nasha said this, she felt that she was a little off-topic, so she got straight to the point. So Sylvanas knew what to do to be true to Arthas's true will, the Arthas she knew deeply, not to him who had become a puppet, or who had strayed far from his own will. And this is her greatest loyalty, and so does Mavi and us priestesses. ”

"You're right, so you think you'll still fight us when the Night Elves and the Alliance are at odds. ”

"If you have to do that. Otherwise, we will cut ourselves off because we have chosen the wrong one, and we cannot feel guilty about our people. ”

Nasha said sadly, and Falic hurriedly put his hand on Nasha's shoulder and explained.

"This is never going to happen, Arthas is not going to do that, and Ronin and the others have never seen any of the Alliances and Night Elves at odds with them when they are peeking into the future. ”

Falic said this, and this statement piqued Nasha's interest even more:

"What will happen to us in the future?"

"It's said that it's very sad, I don't know when, our world is like the end of the world, and the remaining mortals are trapped on a high mountain that has not yet been corrupted as our last position, resisting the last onslaught of the Burning Legion. And the only thing left in our position is the white-headed Gianna and a large number of your Night Elves to fight against the Burning Legion, and this may be our final end. I wish that time would come slowly. Manic sighed, "But that's the distant future. And in another illusion it is said that the two of us are—" Falic couldn't help but put his hand down on Nasha's shoulder as he said this. And there was a bit of a sideways avoidance of her.

"What's wrong with the two of us?" Faric was silent, perhaps Nasha's excited look was enough to make people guess, but Nasha looked at Faric's silence and narrated it in a different way. "Are we going to be together, or am I going to die?"

Nasha looked very sad when she said this, and Manric, who didn't want to be like this, suddenly grabbed Nasha's shoulders with both hands and said

"No, it's not, we'll be together. ”

Faric looked embarrassed when he said this, but Nasha laughed out loud, but as the laughter continued, his smile grew heavier and sad.

"I'm sorry, I've lived for more than 10,000 years, but we don't have much chance of being happy, we Night Elves have few males, we priestesses are generally not subject to affection, and every millennium their men go to sleep, when they wake up, it's often the beginning of war, and when the war is completely subsided, they don't have much stability, they will still continue to sleep. So in the face of happiness, I don't want to lose it categorically. By the end of the day, she had put Manik's hand back on her shoulder, and she had lowered her head and waited for Manik's next move, and she didn't have to wait long for Manic to let her hold her tightly as she wished.

"I understand, after the war is over, I will ask Mavi to ask you to come over, but only after the war is over..."

......

It was a long time before they regained their composure and returned to camp with a smile on their faces, and the moment they were discovered by the first Night Elf, Nasha was once again waiting for her servants to pass on a message as if nothing had happened to Manik, even like a commander with no personal relationship. And in the information obtained, it was also reported that there were no orcs and other mortals around, after all, the tribe set out from the northern fortress and would not easily set foot here. However, there were still some people who reported about the discovery of a large number of goblin corpses, and Nasha directly stopped the priestess's report and did not let her make any accounts of the goblin corpses. Seeing this, Farik was completely relieved, he knew that Nasha was still in his heart, and he didn't want to report in front of the dwarves that he and Arthas had killed the goblins publicly, so he didn't have any psychological baggage when he thought of this.

Unbeknownst to the others, Muradin and many of his colleagues expressed regret for Falik, who could only smile awkwardly. After all, he knew that such a situation would be more conducive to their current march. But there was still one person who was not, he finally patted Faric on the shoulder, but he gave Manic a thumbs up gesture in private, yes, Ronin, who had the same experience, obviously knew the character of the elf better. In this regard, Falik could only make a gesture to Luo Ning in private, and then tacitly understood it.

In the end, the night passed peacefully. At dawn the next day, they continued their journey. And the duel between the dust swamp and the original main force of the tribe is about to begin.
