Chapter 312: Want to break off the relationship?
Also with magic, what is the difference between a short-lived human and an immortal High Elf?
It should be said that for most humans, the short lifespan has led to a more fanatical pursuit of magic than the High Elves.
It is precisely because of humility that we pursue greatness; It is precisely because of the shortness that the pursuit of eternity; Because he is as weak as an ant, he pursues the power that can be equal to that of the gods.
Race is like that, there is always no equality. But the more fragile a life is, the more likely it is to explode with higher potential and passion.
In the magical country of Dalaran, the shackles of magic research in other parts of the world have been completely removed. As a result, the mania for knowledge, mysteries, and power in the mages' bones was completely and 100% exerted.
However, in the pursuit of power and fanaticism, it is also the easiest to get lost.
This result leads to the most essential difference between human mages and elven mages, human mages live based on their own strength, and elves are more inclined to collective glory in the growth of their own power.
At the time of the Orc War, it wasn't that human mages couldn't create powerful war magic, but that very few human mages would be willing to do so. They consider themselves free and noble, and unlike ordinary human civilians, they are not willing to be constrained too much.
Kael'thas led the elves to the place where the first tower was, and after he made his request, many of the human mages became angry and laughed.
"Why?"
"This is our territory."
They said this, and gathered the crowd, not inending to back down.
Kael'thas stared at them quietly, and when these mages gathered, he coldly gave an order:
"Cripple them."
His words reached the ears of the elves, who raised their staff without hesitation.
"Boom" "Boom"
The floor shook, and countless spikes roared from the ground in an instant, piercing the calves of a large number of human mages.
Screams erupted on the field, and blood flowed all over the ground.
This is the biggest difference between the individual and the collective, the elves here are not stronger than humans, but their combined attacks are not something that these humans can stop.
"If you have the ability, don't cast spells collectively."
"What kind of ability is a sneak attack?"
Some of the human survivors who escaped in time wiped their cold sweat and yelled, but in Kael'thas eyes they were just a bunch of fools.
"Get out of this tower."
He said coldly, and then summoned Xiao Ao out with his hand.
Sharp phoenix chirping. The legendary phoenix, which was more than ten meters wide, appeared wrapped in flames all over its body.
It flapped its wings low, and its burning stance made the entire area scorching, and almost in a moment, the human mages were running away.
[The strong is the truth.] 】
It seems that these humans have finally realized that he is already a legendary mage.
Kael'thas continued to stare at the tower, waiting for its 'current owner' to come out.
Aesas had said that the Tower was not habitable for ordinary people, and he wondered which human mage would dare to touch the Elven building.
He was disappointed, the tower was empty.
[Ran away? 】
Kael'thas thought so, but his men kept going, continuing to let the elves move forward.
This area originally belonged to the High Elves, and of course Kael'thas wanted to take them all back.
The human mages were unceremoniously kicked out, and these people who were full of anger immediately came to their senses after seeing the blood stains and the flying phoenix in front of them, and left without any objection with a shiver.
Kael'thas allowed these mages to take their belongings.
He waited for half an hour, and finally everyone was almost gone.
"Y-How can you do that!"
Kael'thas was just about to give another order when an angry voice rang out from behind.
He looked back and saw that it was an epic old mage.
"Why can't I do this?"
Kael'thas didn't even bother to ask the mage by name, and asked directly in a cold voice:
"Are you the mage who controls this place?"
He finally waited for the mage to appear.
But to Kael'thas's surprise, the old mage's expression was a little stiff and nervous, although his face and tone were full of anger.
It was as if someone had ordered him to do so.
"Your Highness Kael'thas, you elves have been away from Dalaran for a long time, and these buildings no longer belong to you."
The old mage said in a violent tone:
"Even if you want to get it back, you have to go through a normal meeting and get the consent of a few councillors."
What he said was reasonable, and the human mages who were watching around changed their faces when they heard this.
"yes, the other councillors haven't spoken yet!"
"This guy is so crazy, obviously looking down on us because of his identity."
"Tell the councillors to come out and do justice."
Upon becoming aware of the other councillors, the humans instantly became confused as if they had found a place to support.
Even some of the mages who were carrying their luggage stopped
"Huh"
Kael'thas laughed:
"We built these buildings, do we need to have a meeting to decide on them?"
He's not that stupid, and it's even more complicated if he agrees to a meeting.
"Besides, more importantly, did you take them away with the consent of our High Elves?"
Kael'thas sneered and glanced at the mages around him, the question was enough to make everyone speechless.
It had been a long time since the High Elves had sent a leader to Dalaran, and Kael'thas had never heard of it before he returned.
In other words, human actions are autonomous, taking things from the High Elves without their consent.
In that case, why did Kael'thas have to retrieve these buildings step by step?
"You took these things without our consent, can I consider this a repudiation of the covenant?"
Kael'thas looked up, looked at the Violet Castle, and said slowly:
"You human mages, do you want to break ties with our High Elves?"
This sentence instantly made the entire venue silent, and even Antonidas and Crassus, who were watching from above, were shocked, and their faces immediately turned pale.
Can Dalaran leave Quel'Thalas?
The answer, of course, is no, Quel'Thalas can do without Dalaran, but Dalaran can't do without Quel'Thalas now.
Whether it's magical or political considerations, without the High Elves to rely on, Dalaran would have been in an awkward position.
And Kael'thas, as the prince of the High Elves, he can completely sever ties with Dalaran on behalf of Quel'Thalas.
