The final chapter: The Northern Expedition is over

I sighed, but just as I was about to go back and help Falic take care of the wounded, I found that there were many more tents than I had imagined, and that was definitely good news, because it would mean that there would be a lot more survivors than I thought, but why, I remember that there were less than fifty of us left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as I was about to ask Gianna about this, Sylvanas returned with her hunting party, and in their ranks, I found the answer, most of the survivors had gone out in search of physical objects and wood, including the Lothmar and Nathanos who I thought were dead, and a whole army of rangers behind them, yes, the number of elves seemed to have not been sacrificed from the beginning to the end of the Northern Expedition.

"Arthas, you're alright. Sylvanas hurried over to me, and embraced me with a few tears in her eyes, not caring for the presence of her subordinates.

"Sylvanasβ€”" I also muttered her name mate, holding her tightly in my arms, and also to avoid embarrassing Gianna, I also motioned for Gianna to come along, yes, this is what I wanted, and at this point, I don't think I need to hide our relationship anymore.

Although none of them complained or objected, and pretended to ignore us and continue to do what they were supposed to do, I still wanted to know if everyone's hearts supported me to have them both at the same time, and unconsciously, I also thought about what they thought about us at the moment

Humans and perhaps all of them will secretly enjoy themselves in their hearts, and these soldiers who have experienced life and death with the elves will definitely not have any political and racial prejudices, and they will definitely hope for such an outcome if they just want to be able to live a stable life in the future. As for the dwarves, these enthusiastic and very close races to humans naturally do not object to anything.

Others may not think that way, though, so I locked on Sylvanas's men. Although they were all calmly loading and unloading some large prey, I could feel that the elves were probably dealing with me and their generals with all kinds of mixed feelings, maybe I was only with Sylvanas, they didn't have to say, but the fact that she wasn't my only one must have made them feel a little pimple.

I felt that it was all the more necessary to take this opportunity to communicate with them and see their true attitudes, so my eyes stayed on the most powerful representative of them, Deputy Sylvanas, who was puzzled by his appearance.

"Lotherma, wait a minute. ”

I let go of them and beckoned to Lotherma in the manner of a chief. In this regard, he did not hesitate to obey my orders and walked towards me, and consciously bowed to me without even making a glance at their general.

I don't know if it was a reluctant act or if he did it out of necessity, but I was very pleased that he treated me with such respect, although I still pretended to be very calm on the surface.

"Your Highness, you called me?"

"Where did you go in the final stages of the battle? I didn't notice you. I asked him almost expressionlessly, and it was obvious that I would think I was settling accounts with him again. After all, his sudden appearance intact was clearly defiant of my command. I believe that as an adjutant general, he knows very well what kind of crime this will be in military law. And I didn't realize at this time that I was doing this again.

His already pale face grew paler, and Sylvanas also looked uneasy, yes, she knew that I wasn't the kind of person to fight against my subordinates, but she was ready to bend her knees to me in order to protect her lieutenant from such severe punishment.

That's when I realized that I might have misunderstood...

"I just want to know how you survived...", so as not to make things embarrassing, I hooked up on Lotherma's shoulder as if I were dealing with Manic and them, and it was only then that everyone realized that I didn't mean to punish him, but just out of concern. At that time, I really thought that you were all dead, so I kept blaming myself for the great sacrifice that you elves made for our alliance. ”

I said this, and this attitude and tone made him feel ashamed and guilty...

"I'm sorry Your Highness, but I didn't expect it to be easy for us to win this victory, so I led my soldiers to save the wounded while trying to leave the battlefield. ”

"There are dense undead on all sides, how do you do it. ”

"With the help of the spider-men, I opened the tunnel and escaped to the original passage..... but when I went out to inspect the enemy, I found that things were not what I imagined, and you finally led the rest of the troops to win the decisive battle, while I became a deserter and shared your strength..."

He said with some discouragement, yes, although his approach did weaken our strength a lot at that time, but his approach was exactly what I originally thought, to let everyone escape from the battlefield as much as possible. I didn't dare to try it, and he did.

"I really didn't expect you to escape under their noses, don't they chase you into the burrow?"

"That's because I found out during the battle that they all seemed to be going for you, so I led the people in the opposite direction to you..... it turned out that I had made a serious mistake. ”

"But you're right, no one would have thought that we would be able to win..."

Through this incident, I seem to realize that at that time, after the destruction of the whole of Quel'Thalas, and even after the betrayal of Kael'thas, there were still a considerable number of elves who survived, and that was to have a person who knew how to lead the people to find life. "I should learn from you this, how to preserve vitality when you are absolutely disadvantaged. ”

"Your Highnessβ€”" I boasted about him, and it made him feel guilty and uneasy, yes, I said it as if I were burying him. I quickly thought of a way to keep him out of that kind of restraint. It's the kind of holy light that boosts morale.

I used my greatest strength to release my greatest strength, and with this illumination of my heart, I sighed to him earnestly.

"I mean, really, if I could lead people out of this difficult situation like you, maybe there wouldn't be so much sacrifice. I said with empathy, and at this moment the light emitted by me seemed to sense some power, and became more brilliant, as soft as the feeling in the archbishop's church, and at first I even wondered if there was something else seeping into my power, but soon I realized that it was only me, a power that could be compared to Uther.

I don't know why this is happening, if it's because the Light feels his sincerity, or if it's because of the contact with Frost Sorrow like Gianna has given me a lot of strength. I don't know, but after seeing the enjoyment of everyone bathing in the holy light, I don't seem to have to worry about such a problem, after all, it is enough to restore everyone to a state of calm.

This power also washed away Lotherma's guilt, and made him deeply appreciate my sincerity and respect for him, so he made a very satisfactory and pertinent evaluation and decision to me under the light without any identity concerns.

"But if we hadn't done it your way, maybe we wouldn't have won the final victory...."He glanced at his general, and continued to say calmly, "Your Highness, you have done something that is difficult for ordinary people to do, and we are naturally convinced of your choice. ”

"Yes, it's our choice...."I looked at Sylvanas, who was bowing her head to me, as if recognizing what he meant.

"We'll all bless you, but we'd rather hope that the Elves and the Alliance will be able to regain the unity they once had. ”

"Yes, I swear, I'll let you return to the Alliance of your own volition. When the time comes, we will once again be united regardless of race. I said it from the bottom of my heart, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I realized that the alliance I was talking about was two alliances that fought against the tribe, and I was telling them that I would not let them join the tribe. But there doesn't seem wrong with that. After all, they elves have the same vision of a peaceful and united world as our soldiers, not the immediate interests of those politicians.

At least not yet, I thought as I looked at Lotherma, but one thing I was absolutely sure of was that this ranger knew how to compromise, how to keep his best interests in the face of difficulties, and not be emotional, and I think that was very important as a leader, but I don't know if he still had that chance.

All my worries about them disappeared, because I knew that even if he had some reluctance against Sylvanas in his heart, I think he would have chosen to compromise at this point.

"We'll have your back, and no one doesn't miss the unity we felt," Lotherma said to us and left on her own. I knew there might be more than just an answer to my question in his words, but it didn't matter at all, because I wouldn't doubt Sylvanas' heart for me, though her eyes were a little moist at the moment.

...........

There is really no need to pursue some unrealistic things, but to be realistic, such as the duty of a paladin to replace Manic and others to treat the wounded. So I went with Gianna and Sylvanas to the tent to treat the wounded.

Actually, I wanted Sylvanas to stay in her Ranger unit to comfort some friend or friends, but I realized that she didn't hesitate to follow me like Gianna, so I didn't say anything about it. Maybe she might use her good at field treatment as an excuse to deny me such an arrangement, it's hard to say, hehe, maybe.

Anyway, I'm glad she's with me, because she's able to create a Gianna-like image among us humans, and that's what matters to her in the future. I thought so, but it was at this time that I couldn't help but sigh, yes, I now thought that there might be a lot of obstacles for her to be able to enter my palace as smoothly as Gianna.

They soon noticed my action, but neither of them said anything, but showed the same expression as I did, and Gianna knew what I was thinking, but as for Sylvanas, I think he would have thought I was sighing because of her lieutenant, Lotherma. For, just as I do now in the tents of the wounded, she knows that my main purpose is to visit my fellow paladins who are still working.

And it was at this time that I suddenly couldn't feel that the three of them still had any traces of releasing the Holy Light, and I couldn't help but worry about their situation at the moment, and I knew that they would come to see me when I woke up, unless...

Gianna saw what was on my mind, and I seemed to be overwhelmed in her smile, and she led me to a tent where they were. As expected, the three of them fell to the ground exhausted, while the wounded who had also been treated on the haystack beds had fallen asleep.

To be on the safe side, I checked on the three of them and used the Light to restore their strength and prevent them from having any accidents at the moment. But the reality was that I disturbed their sleep....soon the three of them woke up and smiled happily at me, and saw that they were back to their old ways in such private situations.

"You have treated all the wounded. ”

"Yes, except for you. ”

"That's because we know who can take care of you better than we do. ”

"And the truth is right in front of you, you're very healthy right now. ”

The three of them narrated the whole thing separately in this particular way as before, and even though they were all for me, I still don't think they should have done it.

"If the threat of the enemy is still there, let yourself collapse, what if you encounter a sneak attack. I rebuked them, but Gianna made a judgment that surprised me.

"No, Arthas, the war is over, and the threat of the undead is largely gone..."

"But their head, the voice, should still be alive, and we must destroy his body. Although she said this, I did not agree with it, and this made the prostration partner who was already smiling with a smile on his face tense again. But Gianna shook her head at me anyway.

"Their heads have been cleared, and the few remaining undead have lost consciousness, and there are no more undead on this continent that can threaten us. "She even showed me a map of Karegos, and here, there was no sign of the undead, not even Icecrown.

"Is he really gone?" I asked Gianna with a heavy heart, and this attitude made Gianna frown, and the gesture made me realize that I had said the wrong thing, yes, as if I suspected that she still had the Lone Spirit of the Lich King. I hastened to explain this. "I mean Anubarak, is he dead too?"

"He didn't die, but he regained his self-knowledge and remorseful for what he had done before us. ”

"Then you'll let him go. ”

"Arthas, I don't think he should be held primarily responsible for the death of those soldiers, and the spiders have accepted their return as king, so I chose to let everyone put aside their hatred. ”

"Yes, since the spider-man has accepted Anubrak, then we can't seek revenge against him, after all, we must not be enemies of the spider-man now. "I nodded to Gianna, yes, she made the right choice, but we are victims, so we should get some compensation that we deserve, after all, we are very short of supplies..." I thought of Gianna and said that, though I might not have thought of it at the time, I wanted Gianna to show weakness to me, so that I could feel a sense of satisfaction. But at this time, Sylvanas sabotaged this little attempt of mine

"Anubarak compensated us by giving us tents made of cobwebs, quilts and other items, and as for the warships, there are many of them in the port of the undead. Sylvanas explained, and it made me a little embarrassed, I was trying to show that I was better at the bigger picture than them, but in fact, they were doing a flawless job.

"Well, I'll admit you're doing a great job," I chuckled, yes, and though I felt a little frustrated in my dignity as a commander, I was glad that they did their duty as a commander. But I didn't want to smile proudly for them at the moment, but pretended to be very lost, because I knew that they would cling to me at this time to pretend to comfort my so-called self-esteem. And that's what I wanted.....that no matter how powerful they were in front of outsiders, they only had a personal role to lean on me in front of me, and that's what they wanted in their hearts.

In the same way, my companions also created this opportunity for me, and the three of them completed the Holy Light healing for the entire barracks in my place, with the aim of giving me more energy to do what I wanted to do. It's just that it's still a long time, and before that, we are still more willing to get along with everyone and let go of our identities to talk about some happy things together.

After dinner, I discussed with a few lieutenants in my tent the arrangements, which were as simple as announcing the end of the Northern Expedition and charting the route home. And such a thing is completely finalized with everyone just by swiping on the map with one hand.

During this period, after reporting on the situation of some wounded and the food reserve plan, the purpose of this meeting was basically accomplished. After I arranged the vigil, everyone dispersed. Only Gianna and Sylvanas, who were not assigned by the matter, were left, yes, everyone knows what will happen next ....

When the last general was about to leave the tents, Gianna immediately used magic to close the windows and the windows, and at this time, I think no one can stop us from unleashing the wildness of our hearts to warm each other.
