Seeing that Thrace had made up his mind, Eldara, though extremely angry, could not do anything at all, unless he could directly make the words clear here.

Erigor breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the blood elves don't completely withdraw from the plague land, then there is still room for relaxation, at least not for the time being!

According to the information that came from the chapel just now, Maxwell has already indicated that the Scarlet Crusaders are difficult to fight, and now the allies in the Plaguelands are the Blood Elves in front of them, and if even they retreat, then Silver Dawn will probably have to face the counterattack of the Scourge army alone.

Even if they are arrogant, no one would think that the newly rising Silver Dawn would be able to stand up to the Scourge army on its own, at least until the Blood Elves intervened, and the impoverished Silver Warriors were able to survive entirely on the might of the Scarlet Crusaders. Therefore, Maxwell had only one order in the petition, which was to leave the blood elves in the plague lands and let them wade through the troubled waters with him, hoping to have a chance to survive.

Erigor naturally understood the crisis, so as soon as Kitaya received the order, he supported the Thrace and the natural disaster duel, and even directly brought reinforcements with them. If something happens, the Blood Elves won't be able to leave their 'zealous' allies behind and flee back to the Wraith Land on their own, right?

"Thrace, now we can't move on," he made up his mind, and immediately began to prepare for battle: "We must take the initiative and find a suitable battlefield!" ”

"The most terrifying thing about natural disasters is that they seem to have an endless number of troops, and it is better to find a narrow place to limit their advantage." Thrace nodded calmly.

Erigor took out a map of the march, pointed to the two places on it, and hesitated: "With the narrow terrain, with the current position of us and the natural disaster, there are only two places to choose. ”

Eldara leaned over and looked at it, and without hesitation, pointed to another place, and shouted to Thrace, "Choose here!" ”

The other two suddenly had a black line. Choosing the valley and terrain leading to the Wraith Land is very suitable, but what is the difference between doing so and retreating directly?

"Let's choose here~" Thrace couldn't help but sigh, pointed to the three-way intersection where Xie Feng led his troops to ambush in the last war, and said:

"Hold this place, hold out for at least three days, and wait for the Scarlet Crusade, the Forsaken and other forces to respond in time to send reinforcements! It's enough for us to hold out until the general comes! ”

Erigor was overjoyed, and choosing this place meant that the Blood Elves had given up their retreat to the Land of Spirits, and could only stay in the Land of Plagues and the Scourge to the end.

The two finalized the location of the battle, and instead of greeting Eldara, they directly ordered a change of march, and sent messengers to make Hawksbill retreat to the battlefield.

The army moved slowly, but the rangers were on their own, running from the North Valley to the Northland Watchtower in less than half an hour. Not long after Hawksbill and Valen retreated, the sentry brought the news that Thrace and the others wanted to ambush the scourge at the three-way intersection, and the two commanders were stunned

"No, how could Thrace lead his troops to ambush somewhere?" Valen's face was full of bitterness, frowning and whispering: "If the retreat is blocked by natural disasters, we"

Hawksbild's eyes rolled widely, and he pouted in disgust. He now understood why Xie Feng didn't reuse this old man who had been following him and promoted the rookie in Thrace from the beginning. Such a big thing, this person hasn't been able to figure out the key to it?! The news of this messenger came from Thrace, not Eldara, that is to say, the plan has changed, and the blood elves did not calmly withdraw as Xie Feng expected, but fell into this big quagmire and frowned and thought about it, Hawksbill gritted his teeth and said to Valen:

"You lead the blood knights to escort those supplies to retreat north according to the original plan, hold on to the predetermined location, and if the natural disaster pursues, you can fight it, and you can't fight it and retreat directly to Zumashal! There are enough supplies for an army of tens of thousands to support half a month, five hundred elite rangers, four magisters, plus adventurers in the North Valley, enough for you to deal with the offensive of the natural disaster! ”

"Zumashal?" Valen was stunned, and then remembered that Hawksbill had left with the troops for a while a few days ago, thought about it, frowned, and asked, "What about you?" ”

Hawksbill pointed to the south and said, "The three-way intersection is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is narrow, even if there are more blood knights, there are only two thousand people who can fight against natural disasters, and only ranged troops such as rangers and mages can give full play to their greatest advantages!" Naturally, I'm going to support with the Ranger! ”

After a pause, he said, "Also, send a message to Taquilin and ask them to be vigilant!" Although the chances of a scourge making its way into the Wraith Land are slim, it's better to be careful."

"Understood!" Valen nodded solemnly, summoned the three Blood Knights and let them march towards Taquilin, and then led his Blood Knights to retreat to the north.

Qualifications, brains, strength, these innate aspects of Valen have no advantages to speak of, but he has a blood elf and its rare talent stability!

Maybe that's why Alex is willing to leave his back path to you? Hawksbill looked enviously at Valen, who was methodically directing the retreat, shook his head, took his rangers, and galloped in the opposite direction.

The Scourge Legion, which followed closely behind, did not feel entangled in this in the slightest, and did not hesitate to divide their forces to continue the pursuit. Anyway, the last thing the undead lack is troops! It's just that perhaps it has detected the information that a large number of troops are gathering in the south, and most of the natural disasters are still pursuing Hawksbill in the south, but there are not many chasing Valen

On the other side, after walking for about a quarter of an hour and reaching the mountainous area at the three-way junction, Erigor, who had been gathered together, finally left with the silver generals and went to line up to wait for the enemy.

On the continent of Azeroth, the generals pay attention to leading by example, unless it is a legal profession, even a ranger general must rush to the front line! Naturally, Eregor didn't have to shoot in an ordinary small battle, but in the face of the main force of the natural disaster, he still had to run to the front line to fight in person.

Thrace, after arranging the formation of the Blood Knights and Rangers, and repulsing the surrounding idle soldiers, leaving only a few generals, began to face Eldara

"General Morningwalker, I'm sorry for what just happened!" Changing the cold, indifferent, Thracian smiled bitterly and saluted the expressionless Eldara.

At this time, the female general, looking at Thrace with an apologetic face, and the blood elf generals around her brains for a while, suddenly had an urge to throw herself into the arms of Iserius and cry bitterly Since being Liadrin's negative deputy, how have she ever suffered such a grievance? Reluctantly suppressed his troubled thoughts, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "How did Alex explain to you?" Why is this happening? ”

And the surrounding generals, who had awakened from Thrace's actions, glared at him one by one, eager to cut him down with a knife

Thrace wanted to cry without tears, and with a sad face, he explained: "The general only said that he would hand over these troops to me and do his best to clear the natural disasters in the North Valley, and as long as the war begins, the Morning Stalker Lady will come and seize power in due time, and then there will be nothing to do with me." But I didn't expect that Erigor and others were also present at that time, if the smell of direct call for military power and conspiracy was too obvious, the result was "

"As a result, I was incompetent and failed to snatch the power from you, did I?" Eldara almost went crazy and spared a big circle, but in the end, it was because of her poor skills that she made such a fuss

Thrace was silent, anyway, he acted according to Xie Feng's instructions, who is to blame if you don't give it yourself? said an apology, and then looked at the nose and nose, and stood there without saying a word, looking like you were at your disposal. But in the current situation, how dare Eldara risk a mutiny against him?

The other blood elf generals looked at each other one by one, and they didn't know what to do. The reason why this farce of seizing power failed was all caused by a few of them, among which the guy who claimed to be a blood knight shrank his neck and stomped behind the ranger general next to him, although he earned back a white eye, but it didn't matter at all.

He was completely speechless to the deceitful guy in front of him, Eldara. The law does not blame the public, and Xie Feng is on top of it, so he is sure that he has nothing to do with them

The "General of the Morning Walker" was silent for a moment, and Thrace weakly asked the expressionless female general, "What exactly does the general want us to do in his plan?" ”

"Retreat! Retreat to Zumashar to defend to the death! "Iserus was also in that meeting, and although he didn't know the full plan, he still knew where the blood elf army would go.

Thrace was stunned: "Retreat to Zumashal? Are we making way for a natural disaster? After a pause, he said, "And then?" What's next? ”

The only difference between defending Zumashar and guarding the hut and watchtower is that one can block the way out of the natural disaster, so that they are stuck in the throat, and they will never continue to march without destroying the blood elves, but the other can stay outside the main battlefield, sit back and watch the natural disaster enter and exit wantonly, and attack any place in the Eastern Plague!

"Watch the show!" Eldara gritted her teeth, squeezed out two words, and turned to leave

"What are we going to do next?" Seeing Eldara leave, the captain of the Blood Knights, who had a weak heart, finally stood up and whispered to Thrace, "Do you want to withdraw now?" ”

Thrace hesitated slightly, and replied: "We can't retreat now, why do we have to fight, anyway, it's the silver dawn that is set in front, and we still feel sorry for those arrows?" Wait until the silver dawn can't hold it anymore and we'll retreat. After a pause, he said, "By the way, the situation is a little different from the general's prediction, and he needs to be invited back."

―――――― the Scarlet Cathedral, led by Farbanks, who had been healed by Darian, a blood-colored high-level sat in the side hall, silent.

With Xie Feng's proposal, Tyran's support, and Fairbanks' tacit approval, Renault was forced to stay and sit in the last seat. Next to him was the Grand Prosecutor Whitemane, the death of old Mograine, the undead who was treated by the Holy Light, and she was almost collapsed after a series of changes in a day, and only by holding her lover's arm tightly could she have a little comfort~ Fairbanks is the oldest, naturally sitting in the main seat, and Darian and Demitea have a tacit understanding on both sides of him, so only the two senior brothers, Tailan and Xie Feng, are left, sitting together like friends, depressed and depressed.

The Scarlet Servants and Warriors who had witnessed the events in the church had long been ordered to keep them under strict control, and not to reveal the slightest bit of information until the matter was finally concluded. And the other two high-ranking people here, Herold and Duane, chose to forget very tacitly

"Ahem~ Guys, don't you have anything to say?" Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely heavy, Xie Feng laughed dryly, wanting to break the deadlock.

"All the beliefs of the Scarlet Crusaders are based on reverence for the Holy Light and hatred for natural disasters, but now you have used the Holy Light to kill the undead" Tyran shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "If this matter spreads, I can guarantee that the Scarlet Crusaders will lose more than half of their combat effectiveness for a long time to come!" ”

"Did I treat it?" Xie Feng muttered in a low voice. It's Darien! Although it was instigated by itself

He shook his head and said, "Don't be so pessimistic, I haven't seen a more tenacious class than a paladin!" On the Stormwind side, Lothar died and Turayan succeeded, and Tulayan lost Bolval's inheritance. Lordaeron is the same, Uther died in battle Alexander inherited, Alexander died in battle Old Ferding inherited the same source of blood, not so easy to fall! ”

"Wait, what do you mean when you say Old Ferding succeeded Alexander?" Farbanks suddenly raised his head, stared at Xie Feng, and asked with some excitement.

Finally piqued your interest? A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Xie Feng's mouth. However, instead of answering his words, he turned his head very rudely and looked at the last two: "Renault, Sally, do you want to know why I brought Demitea and Tyran here this time?" ”

Whitemane was indifferent and ignored. Renault's eyes didn't move at all, and he said indifferently: "The command of the Scarlet Crusaders of the Abbey? Take it if you want."

"Worthy of being one of the Scarlet Great Lords!" Xie Feng smiled and nodded. Although Renault's character is a bit sick, his ability is still worthy of recognition. "But that was just now, and now I've changed my mind! I found that you are not as hopeless as you imagined! ”

Renault pursed his lips and sneered, "Because I don't need to be saved at all, but just be executed, right?" ”

"Uh" Xie Feng smiled bitterly, worthy of being the son of the Ash Messenger who is known for his extremism, even at this moment, his temper has not diminished? Shaking his head, he said solemnly: "You should repent of what you have done, but this does not mean that all the blame must be borne by you!" As I said, you're not even a rookie in front of those Scourge liches who play with their souls and hearts! Don't be stubborn and think that what you do in a situation is the intention! ”

"Alsace is a prime example of this! He had done a lot of wrong things before he pulled out the Frost Sorrow, but there was no denying that he was still fighting for Lordaeron at that time! In the same way, even at the moment when you stabbed the sword, didn't you still think of your father's approval? ”

Fairbanks was suddenly shocked: "What do you mean by that?" Is it the Dreadlord who misled Tyran? How can it be? ”

Xie Feng shrugged his shoulders and said leisurely, "You must know that the Dread Demon King is an expert in playing with the mind!" And they can't be killed! ”

The others also changed color when they heard this, and Demytia stared at Xie Feng even more, gritted his teeth and said:

"It's a well-established fact that Arthas killed Malganis in the North Pole, so why do you think the Dreadlord can't be killed? And on what basis can it be concluded that the Scarlet Crusaders have been infiltrated? ”

Xie Feng smiled: "Just because I'm a blood elf!" Just when our ancestors were fighting the Burning Legion, humans were still herding sheep in Arashi! After a pause, he added:

"As for whether the Scarlet Crusaders have been infiltrated, you can ask Renault!? I don't think anyone would be idle and have the idea of killing their own father~"

Demitea gritted her teeth and turned back to Renault and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”

The others also looked at him expectantly, and occasionally flashed a trace of anger towards the Dreaded Demon King that Xie Feng said, and everyone hoped from the bottom of their hearts that what Xie Feng said was true.

Renault also glanced at everyone with a shocked and blank face, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and he said in a lost tone: "I don't know, I was in contact with too many people during the time I was in the Valley of the Hearth, and I couldn't make a judgment, but after all, I did the same thing as Alsace, and I couldn't turn back."

Xie Feng pursed his lips disdainfully, not that he couldn't judge, but he didn't dare to judge, right? Dassault Khan, as the oldest person in existence of the Scarlet Crusader, if he is accused of any mistakes, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the now scarred Scarlet Crusader!

"You are lucky compared to Alsace! At least you can go back! Xie Feng shook his head and said, "You have two advantages that Alsace doesn't have!" ”

"First, you are not completely controlled by the Dreadlord and know to repent of your mistakes, that is, you think you can still be redeemed!"

"And the second?" Knowing that his brother could not do anything wrong, the innocent Darien had completely ignored his crimes and began to think about him.

Xie Feng pointed to the big prosecutor with a look of hope in his eyes and smiled: "Sally! Renaud was very lucky and didn't have a lover like Gianna~"

Ignoring everyone's stunned eyes, Xie Feng pursed his lips disdainfully, and looked at Renault and the two with envy: "Even if she already knew that Renault had taken the wrong path, Sally still held on to hope and did not give up on him!" But Gianna, outside Stratholme, before Arthas had taken that step, left him first! ”

Then he looked at the people who fell into a stupor, and sighed seriously: "This is the gap~"

Moved by what Xie Feng said about love, although Lenault's face did not change, he quietly withdrew his hand and held Sally's hand tightly. Fairbanks seemed to think of his lover, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, which then turned to sadness, and finally returned to normality again. Demytia and Darian paused slightly, and glanced at each other secretly, but they happened to see each other's gaze, and quickly withdrew their gaze and pretended to be nothing, but at the same time, a trace of blush involuntarily appeared on their faces.

As soon as Xie Feng saw that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately reached into his arms and stroked the ornaments on his chest, and soon there was a smirk on his face, leaving Tailan alone, looking at the roof of the shed with a full face

I don't know how long it took, and the people who fell into their 'adultery' finally eased up, and then they remembered the topic just now.

Renaud's facial lines softened a little, and he sighed slightly: "Sally, she is the most cherished person in my life!" But how can I keep her with me?"

Now Xie Feng is completely speechless, can't you think about the benefits? Why does it have to be you who brought Sally into the ditch, not Sally's love that saved you?

All of them shook their heads depressedly, and then cheered up: "Don't underestimate the power of love!" That is a being greater than the Light! It can save your soul! ”

"Want to hear a story?" Xie Feng tilted his head and said slowly: "A story that circulates among adventurers, a love story about the Night Elves"

Everyone was silent, quietly looking at Xie Feng, waiting for him to tell this story

In the northwestern part of the Kalimdor continent, in Oberdeen on the Black Coast, there is a Longbridge pier. There, there is a night elf druid, who has been quietly waiting for 10,000 years~ Sererion*Whiteclaw. He once gave an adventurer a mission to kill an elven ghost

"After the battle of the Well of Eternity was over, Amisalan was destroyed, and the Night Elves of the city became the city's burial companions, including my beloved Annaya."

"I also didn't expect that thousands of years after that catastrophe, the memories of Annaya would still haunt my dreams. Once, as I wandered through the forests of the Black Seashore in a trance, I found myself in the ruins of Amisalan when I saw my beloved, her tormented soul. ”

"She must be free, but I don't have the courage to do it, because to set her free, you must first destroy her undead"

The adventurer went through the most painful battle of his life, killing a weak ghost, bringing her necklace to Sererien, and then

I heard an unforgettable conversation

"Sererion: Annaya? Didn't my eyes deceive me? Is it really you?

Annaya: The years have been cruel to me and to you, my love, but in the end we met again.

Serielion: My love, do you hate me? I have destroyed your body in desperation, because only in this way can I be permanently freed from my suffering.

Annaya: Don't feel guilty about that, my dear. You have freed me from endless pain and torment, and I will only love you more for it, but even this reunion, which has been exchanged for thousands of years of separation, is so short-lived, my connection with the world is gradually weakening, and I am slowly leaving you, leaving you

Sererion: No! Annaya, Annaya! Please don't leave me! No

Anaya: Goodbye, Sererion, my love. We'll see you again

Annaya's soft voice echoed softly in the mist, I love you forever

Sererien: What to do, my lover without you, how can I have the courage to survive in this world without you"

Looking at the people who were caught in their own good memories and contemplation, Xie Feng smiled and sighed, and said slowly: "The short life of human beings can brew countless happiness, or poignant love, but who can guarantee that this love, which seems to make you give up everything at this time, can last for tens of thousands of years?" ”

"Therefore, in a short life, those blind loves, more touching than the poignant love that is finally forced to give up because of various fetters, at least it is simple!" looked at Renault and the Grand Inspector Whitemayne and smiled kindly: "Even if it's for each other~"

No one spoke, all thinking about Sererion and Annaya's eternal love over the years, and comparing it with their own.

Immediately, the eyes that looked at Renaud and Sally were more or less full of envy and blessing

After a long time, a glimmer of hope finally appeared on Renault's face, and he shook the hand of Grand Prosecutor Whitemayne and said with a firm, smile:

"Thank you Alex! Your story has made me regain my confidence," he said, and walked over and saluted Xie Feng: "You're right! Even if it is for the sake of Sari, I will not give up, even if it is difficult, I will get my father's forgiveness and let him send us his blessings! ”

Xie Feng sighed with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "I really doubt that there is a hidden Dread Demon King here, what did I just say?" Saying that, he was depressed for a long time: "We will kill you when we come, and then let Tyran seize the command here!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they all smiled from the heart

For the first time since the Scarlet Crusaders moved in, the cathedral has a harmonious and warm atmosphere that has not been seen for a long time.

Demitea, who had always been quite resentful of Xie Feng, finally let go of his urban construction and sent a kind smile

After a while, Fairbanks, as usual, smiled and stroked the heads of the two Renault brothers, turned back to Xie Feng and asked:

"By the way, Alex, what are you talking about about Old Fordin? Is it the Tirio brothers? ”

Xie Feng nodded again and again: "It's him!" A bad old man who cheered up because his son was 'killed'" said and looked at Tyran next to him, and asked with a wicked smile:

"By the way, Tyran, the story I just told moved you, right? Would you like to tell a story about love and family now? ”

(To be continued)
