Chapter 231: The Wind Rises (1st Update)
Kael'thas * Sunseeker stood silently in front of the dimly lit Well of the Sun, looking unbelievable, not knowing what he was thinking. The Templar's Latest Chapter...... Maybe it's the bumpy future of the people who are plagued by demonic addiction, or maybe it's the miserable situation of their people who have lost their minds...... Or await the unpredictable fate of the High Elves?
Behind the Elven Prince, the six top High Elf Magisters, the Prophet Voletar, the Arch-Mage Romans, the Magister Idonis, the Arch-Mage Astaror* Bloodoath, the High Psychic Celevor, and the Arch-Mage Isath* Sunsnatcher stood side by side. This can be said to be the most luxurious arcane master configuration in the world of Azeroth, except for the Council of Six of Dalaran.
But at this moment, these masters who are enough to turn the tide of the battle in a battle are all waiting for the most cruel fate with solemn faces.
They want to detonate the source of Queldore's power, the Well of the Sun.
The seven, including Kael'thas, all had the heaviest burdens and responsibilities on their shoulders. One wrong step can lead to an abyss. No one knows what awaits them in the future, and what fate the High Elves will bring...... But they had to gamble once.
betting, there is still a glimmer of hope; If you don't gamble, you can only sit back and wait for destruction.
"Your Royal Highness, we... Let's go! β
The atmosphere in the Temple of the Well of the Sun became more and more solemn, and it was oppressive. After a long time, the oldest and highest-ranking Volettar finally stepped forward on behalf of the Magus and whispered in Kael'thas's ear.
And after hearing Voletar's reminder, the elven prince finally woke up from his contemplation, nodded heavily, and said lightly:
"Remember! The eternal sun guides us, and everything we do is for our people! β
"Prepare for the ceremony, we... Begin. β
"Queldore is invincible, we will stay the course!"
After the prince's order, the solemn atmosphere in the temple finally eased...... The six magisters agreed in unison and walked to their places. A large six-pointed star array appeared beneath the Magus' feet, covering the Well of the Sun. The elven prince opened the arcane realm and floated step by step towards the middle of the well of the sun, where it was finally suspended. After a moment of silence, he began to chant a mantra that had been passed down through the ages in the royal family of the Sunseeker:
"The eternal sun guides us so that we do not lose our way in the darkness."
"Blazing as fire, purifying the demonic barrier...... On the eve of sunset, sow the last light before the night! β
"Dark times have fallen, and Queldore will regain hope at dawn!"
"The Well of the Sun temporarily extinguishes your will and shines with the brightest light!"
With the chanting of the incantation, the magic in the bodies of the six High Elf Magisters surged out wildly, pouring into the elven prince's arcane realm along the six-pointed star array, reflecting the majestic magic of Kael'thas. Suspended in mid-air, Kael'thas* Sunstrider took a long breath and pressed his hands down to channel all the gathered arcane power into the dim Well of the Sun......
In the next second, the activated Sun Well erupted like a volcano, and the golden energy converged into a huge beam of light and soared into the sky! Piercing through the vault of the temple and breaking through the clouds that obscure the sun, the arcane energy that pierced into the sky burst through the sky at a height of 10,000 yards, turning into countless points of light scattered around the world...... Northrend Ice Valley.
Malygos, the king of the blue dragon, who was immersed in the energy lines of the magic net in the Eye of Eternity, suddenly opened his eyes, felt the violent tremors in the magic net in disbelief, and after a long time he put down the focused rainbow in the dragon's claws and muttered to himself:
"Stupid elves, stupid mortals! The secrets of the arcane are as superficial as you understand? β
β¦β¦
Kalimdor, the shore of the Endless Sea...... A dark-covered raven perched on an old tree, combing its feathers. Suddenly, as if sensing something, the crow turned sharply, his pupils widened suddenly, and he looked at the other side of the endless sea, speechless for a while.
After a long time, the crow's face showed a complicated expression, shook his head, and let out a few "quack" chirps, spreading his wings in the direction of the Stonetalon Mountains with a hoarse and noisy chirp.
β¦β¦
The once rich land of Lordaeron is now the land of plagues.
The Grand Lich Kel'thugad, who was helping Arthas regenerate the Scourge troops, abruptly stopped the spiritualism he was guiding. The vast shadow power dissipated in a moment after losing the gathering guidance of the caster. The soul fire in the eyes of those skeletal undead who had been struggling to crawl out of the dirt and condensing into shape began to flicker brightly and dimly, and finally extinguished. And these semi-finished products, which have lost the support of strength, are reduced to broken bones and rotten flesh in an instant.
Arthas glanced at Kel'thugad suspiciously, even though the Lich now had only a terrifying skull countenance, the Death Knight could clearly spot the surprise on the face of the Lich King's lieutenant Liang.
Pulling out the Frost Sorrow, which had been inserted into the ground and constantly "resurrecting" the corpses underground, Arthas walked over to the Grand Lich and asked unpleasantly;
"What's going on?"
"I didn't expect those stupid elves to be so decisive." Arthas's inquiry brought Kel'thugad back to his senses, and the hideous skull smiled grimly, "The Well of the Sun has been detonated by those elves!" β
Hearing Kel'thugad's answer, the Death Knight was slightly stunned for a moment, then regained his previous coldness, narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully:
"If Kaizi's stupid goose hadn't even made this decision, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today. From the beginning, I never thought your little tricks would work. This time it's cheaper for them. But next time, I won't make them feel better! β
"Hurry up and recruit troops, and then go to Dalaran to snatch the broken book you want......" With that, the Death Knight turned away regardless of Kelsegad's reaction, and continued to resurrect the undead and join his celestial army.
β¦β¦
The Arcane Capital of Dalaran.
In a secluded conference room, a dozen mages with mages covering their faces were arguing fiercely, and the reason for their quarrel was a "proposal to increase the defense force of Dalaran City" submitted by mage Arugao to the Council of Six.
Originally, Kenrito had a six-member adjudication council, which was responsible for discussing important matters and voting on them.
But now that one of the members of the Council of Six, Kael'thas * Sunstrider has returned to Quel'Thalas to organize the High Elves to resist the invasion of the Scourge, and another former council member, Kel'thugad, has been expelled for spreading the plague, and the Council of Six, with only four members, has already existed in name only, and has to convene several other deacons to the adjudication meeting, which will lead to the gathering of more than a dozen mages.
"No, I absolutely disagree with this proposal!" A mage wrapped in a black robe said angrily, and from the sharp voice and the delicate curves under the black robe, it was not difficult to tell that it was a woman, "We can't be sure that the ancient demonic beasts summoned by Arugao will obey our orders!" This scheme is too risky! β
"Modra, I hope you understand where we are now!" As soon as the female mage's words fell, the other male mage sitting on the seat immediately retorted, "The Scourge Legion will target Dalaran at any time!" With only battlemages and no flesh shield troops, we can't stand up to the demented Arthas and his army of the undead! β
"That can't pin your hopes on the summons that have a huge hidden danger!"
"Then what do you say you should use to resist the undead natural disaster, and do you personally go and fight those undead in hand-to-hand combat...... Wow! The sound of fingers tapping on the table abruptly sounded in the noisy conference room. The old man sitting on the throne cleared his throat and stood up, it was Antonidas, the city lord of Dalaran, "Okay ladies and gentlemen, be quiet!" β
One of the strongest mages in Kenrito's history, Antonidas is the most authoritative member of the Council of Six. For many, Antonidas is the de facto leader of Kenrito. And his wise, fatherly face became Kenrito's public image, and this qiΔ made the old man's prestige in Dalaran unparalleled! Therefore, as soon as Antonidas spoke, the conference room, which had been constantly arguing, quickly fell silent.
Looking at his partner who was sitting under him without saying a word, Antonidas raised his eyebrows and asked, "Crassus, what is your opinion?" β
"Me? Hmm, I guess this proposal ...... "The named arch-mage had just been apparently out of sight, not expecting to be asked for his opinion. But just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, all the mages in the conference room suddenly changed color.
"This direction...... Is it Quel'Salas? Antonidas, who has always been calm and introverted, was full of astonishment at the moment, and muttered out of shape. Such powerful energy fluctuations...... Could it be that even the High Elves have failed? β
"It's the Well of the Sun!" Crassus, who was sitting at the bottom of Antonidas, frowned and chewed for a long time, then suddenly stood up, saluted Antonidas, and then said goodbye: "Antonidas, lose company, I have something to do!" Regarding the motion, I abstained! β
Anyway, Crassus has opened a portal and dodged in. No one noticed that in the dense forest beyond Dalaran, the huge red dragon soared into the sky and flew straight towards the island of Queldanus......
And in the conference room, Antonidas, who had recovered from the great changes, once again turned back into the resolute leader, showing his strength. In an unquestionable tone, he announced to a black-robed mage in the corner, "Arugao, I have allowed your proposal!" From today you take the place of Kel'thugad and sit in the Council of Six! I'm going to see a detailed report on your proposal in my mage tower this afternoon! β
"Now, adjournment!"
"Gianna, come to my study!"
As soon as the words fell, Antonidas's entire body had disappeared from the conference room, leaving behind a group of mages who were still in a state of shock.

Twenty years into the Azeroth Calendar: The Dark Gate, the Well of the Sun, which had accompanied the High Elves for nearly 10,000 years, was detonated by Kael'thas* Sunstrider, kicking off the Battle of Mount Hyjal. The storm of the big time began to rage...... Chronicle of the Great Eraγ
