Chapter 66: Pressure
The Moon Shadow slowly put Santis on the bed and slowly went out, a touch of crimson sunset shone on the western mountain, and the blue sky was filled with large white clouds, which were as red as flames in the light of the setting sun, and if you looked closely, you would see the clouds fluttering in the air, like a dream like a light veil, which would keep you away from troubles. A refreshing night breeze blew in the face, as if all worries and fatigue were put aside, and every tense nerve in the body was gradually relieved; The surface of the river wrinkled by the wind rippled with layers of ripples, refracting the crimson glow, like a river of red agate, shining brightly; The forest in the distance shimmered with green light, gently swaying the leaves in the breeze, and the wind blew the rustling sound of the leaves, like singing a beautiful song; The wind in the sky chased, teased, and tore at the clouds.
Finally, the last rays of sunlight disappeared on the horizon, and the air near the castle was filled with life. Whether it is day or night, the Night Elves dare not slack off, too many of them have died due to their lifestyles before. Still, they love the night, and the moon and stars, like the Well of Eternity, give them strength.
Compared to the Moon Shadow City on the Black Coast, Blackcrow Castle can only be regarded as a small city. In addition, the refugees from Sulama migrated and the armies of all sides became crowded in the city. And the Crow Fort was built as a military fortress, and there were not enough houses for civilians to live in. A large number of civilians who had migrated from Surama had to camp in the streets of the city at will. Food is also in short supply, and although most elves can go hunting in the surrounding forests, there is no risk of catching a cold at the moment. These things weighed on Rafincrest's heart, and he was tormented. Luckily, the soldier had just come to report that Moon Shadow had woken up, and as the leader of the resistance, these headaches could be thrown at him.
Led by the soldiers, Moonshadow soon arrived at Rafincrest's study, an old elf who was not a powerful professional. This can be seen from his collection of books, which is mostly biographical books. When Moonshadow entered, Rafincrest got to his feet and a smile spread across his face.
"Oh, Lord Chief, you've finally woken up, blessed by the Empress."
"Thank you for your concern, I don't want to return to Mother Moon so soon before the mentor is rescued." Moon Shadow smiled slightly and made a small joke.
"Hahaha. The leader is really humorous. Rafincrest smiled.
"It looks like you're a little bothered." Moon Shadow looked at Rafincrest with a sad look on his face, and couldn't help but ask.
"Alas!" Rafincrest sighed and shook his head, then told Moonshadow about the predicament facing Blackcrow.
"If it's just a problem for the civilians of Sulama, you can transfer them to my Black Coast first. Although a group of Essarine's refugees have been transferred a while ago, the studio has also had some savings over the years. It should still be able to handle it. Moon Shadow thought for a moment and touched her chin.
"But Blackcrow Castle is a long way from the Black Seashore, this." Rafincrest had a sad look on his face.
"You forgot that I'm a great magister, and it's easier to set up a portal from Crow Castle to Moon Shadows." Moon Shadow sat down.
"You can really build a stable portal at will?" Rafincrest was a little surprised, the portal was an advanced spell that could only be mastered after the Magister, and it was difficult to operate. It's not like Moon Shadow is casual, it's even more difficult to build a stable portal, and you have to know enough about the space. Moreover, the stable portal plays a major role in military strategy, whether it is attacking or retreating.
"Do I have to lie to you about this?" Moon Shadow looked at Rafincrest with a surprised expression, in fact, Moon Shadow was able to build a stable portal at will thanks to the Zandalar Empire, which had been wiped out for thousands of years, and the stone tablets collected that time added him a lot of knowledge. Later, the stone slabs collected from the goblins were even more precious, giving him a deep understanding of space.
"Oh, I didn't mean that, you don't know what that means. Your portal can put us in the driver's seat in the war, which can greatly reduce our casualties and give us a surprise victory. Maybe we can just open a portal to send the troops to Aisaline, and go directly to the palace to rescue the Empress. Rafincrest spoke eloquently, spitting at each other.
"It's not practical to open the portal directly in Aisaline, which is actually very fragile. It has to have a mage to stabilize it, or it has to use a mana crystal. But it's easy to be interrupted no matter what. Moon Shadow sensed that the old elf Rafincrest was a little whimsical, and couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"Well, we'll talk about this later, I think we'll find a way to do it, and now we have to organize a meeting as soon as possible to discuss how to attack Esaline and rescue the Empress. I've already informed some of the senior management to prepare for the meeting in the evening and so on, I wonder what your opinion is, Leader? Rafincrest asked, looking at Moon Shadow. In fact, he was ready for everything, just Moon Shadow nodded. After all, the rebels only belong to the Alliance, Moon Shadow and Rafincrest do not belong to their subordinates, and Moon Shadow was still in a coma when Rafincrest notified.
"Naturally, I don't have an opinion on this, the mentor must be rescued as soon as possible." Moon Shadow nodded, he didn't care that Rafincrest had overstepped his rights, he wasn't the kind of person with a lust for power. Moreover, Rafincrest is a scheming man, and he is more skilled in dealing with other high-level officials than he is.
"Oh, it's great that you're okay, I'll have the attendants inform the others as soon as possible." Rafincrest said, pausing and looking into Moonshadow's eyes; "Speaking of which, I seem to have noticed a fugitive from Sulama who seems to be mixed in with your army. Maybe you've been deceived. ”
"You mean the orc, right? I've looked into his name is Brooks. He came from a faraway country, and this time he was swept here because of the magic of the Well of Eternity. And so is the mage named Ronin, who has the same goal as us. The home was also destroyed by those demons, so it can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms in this battle. Moon Shadow said slowly, half-truthfully, he knew that Rafincrest would not be fully convinced, but it was enough to prevaricate for the time being.
"Oh, since you've said so, I naturally believe in your character, after all, you're the only disciple of the Empress, and I don't think you would do anything to ignore Kadore." Rafincrest smiled and said slowly.
"I wonder when the meeting will start? If it's still early, I want to go back and rest first? Moon Shadow got up from herself and straightened her clothes.
"Oh, there's still a while, I'll send someone to call you when the meeting begins. You can rest first, and I won't bother you! Rafincrest smiled and sent Moon Shadow out the door.
Moon Shadow couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he looked at the moon in the sky, and slowly walked to the room, he really didn't like this kind of occasion. Rafencrest felt uncomfortable talking to him, but the old elf was loyal to Azhara.
Moon Shadow shook his head and stepped into the room, the moment he entered the room, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back and his scalp tingle. This is a murderous aura, and Moon Shadow is busy with a "flashing technique" that flashes to the other corner of the room. Looking back, the murderous Mavi was standing in the doorway, looking at Moon Shadow, her face was full of anger, Moon Shadow shrank her head, and wondered where she was provoking her again.
"Who is she?" Mavi looked at Moon Shadow and pointed to the corner, and Moon Shadow couldn't help but turn her head. The female archer Santis was squatting in the corner, her face was full of grievances, how could she explain Moon Shadow's headache? The Sword Spirit had warned him that he couldn't just tell anyone about space.
"Moonshadow-sama, where is this?" Santis saw Moon Shadow ducking behind Moon Shadow and looked at Mavi with some fear. Seeing this, Mavi's eyes were even more angry.
"Her name is Shantis, and she's a child of the Black Coast." Seeing Mavi's expression, Moon Shadow knew that she had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.
"You're amazing! I didn't expect you to deceive a little girl so quickly, in addition to having an unclear relationship with the two maids! Mavi smiled unremittingly when she heard Moon Shadow explain.
"My lord, is she the lord's wife?" Santis looked at Mavi and then at Moon Shadow, and asked curiously.
"Who is the lord's wife, I have nothing to do with him." Mavi snorted and turned her head to look away.
"Mavi, listen to me!!" Moon Shadow walked over to Mavi and pulled Mavi's hand, but Mavi gave him a dagger. Moon Shadow couldn't help but feel a little big.
"Actually, I was a refugee who escaped from Aisaline, and it was the lord who saved me, so I joined the lord's army. But my parents didn't have that kind of good luck, and they both died at the hands of demons. I wanted to die with them when I saw the demons again, but the lord saved me once again. As a result, the lord was wounded. Santis said, bowing her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's all over, don't worry, we'll win, and your parents will want you to live happily." Mavi couldn't bear to see it, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat Santis on the shoulder and comforted her.
"Your lord said the same, you are all good people." Santis looked at Mavi with a slight smile on her face. Mavi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Moon Shadow, and Moon Shadow also looked at Mavi at this time, and the two of them met their eyes. Moon Shadow smiled slightly, and Mavi narrowed her eyes and turned her head away from him.
Thank you all for your continued support.
