Chapter 140: The Beginning of Chaos
"What's the solution?" Xie Feng was a little strange, it stands to reason that the four mages were at a loss, what could she do, a seventh-order arcanist? The others also looked at her with suspicion, and Sylendis even pursed her lips disdainfully, completely unaware of being a captive.
Dustorn was somewhat embarrassed by the obvious contempt of the crowd, gritted his silver teeth, and threw out a bombshell: "I know of an arcane magic array. Four mages above the seventh order can forcibly suppress the target's strength by using fifty percent of their mana to suppress the target through this magic array at the same time and using fifty percent of their mana! β
Hearing Dustdown's words, everyone present looked at each other. Forcibly suppressing the four ranks, or using magic to suppress this kind of continental-made spell, and she said that a mage above the seventh order made a move~~ In other words, even the ** master will be sealed into a fifth-order rookie by this?!
"Fifty percent of mana, is it permanently lost or temporary?" Quirintis asked astringently.
"For now! Just like a normal battle caster, you can replenish and recover to your strongest state by meditating! Dusthorn ignored the four Magus in a cold sweat and uttered something that nearly broke them.
Not only the four Magisters, but even Selin was a little scared when he heard this: "Is it effective for all professions?" Or is it just for mages? β
"Yes! As long as it is a profession that uses energy, it can be sealed even if it is a sacrifice borrowing the power of the gods! Dusthorn went on to strike at the crowd.
Think about a person who has struggled all his life, wants to die or live to rise to the ** level, and then feels terrifying when he thinks about being imprinted by this magic array! As for the hero level, theoretically yes, but where do you find four mage heroes to shoot at the same time?
Looking at the frightened expressions on everyone's faces, Dusthorn suddenly let out a vicious breath, and the bad mood caused by being slighted was also much more relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and a slightly mischievous charming smile appeared on his face.
Xie Feng didn't know that it was difficult for the aborigines to ascend, so he didn't think it was a big deal, he just felt that it was magical. After seeing Dustsdon's smile on the success of the prank, she also understood that she was scaring everyone, and there must be something inadequate in this seemingly anti-heaven magic array.
However, seeing this consultant, who has always been serious, calm, and even wise, occasionally revealing a hint of naughtiness, he felt that it was pleasing to the eye, and he was not in a hurry to expose it, and sat with a wicked smile on his face to watch the excitement.
"Ahem~" After a while, Dusthorn saw that everyone was frightened, put away his joke, and coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention: "Actually, the effect of this magic array is also temporary!" β
"Fifty percent of the mana is sealed for five days, and four percent is four days. And so on, eight days at most, three days at the minimum! β
As soon as everyone heard her explanation, they immediately knew that she had been tricked. But it's also that I look down on others first, and it's hard to say anything, and the tangled expression on my face is called a wonderful.
Dusthorn ignored everyone and walked straight to Xie Feng, who was snickering, and rolled his eyes: "General Alex!" Slept well, right? Can we have a good talk? β
"Uh~ Sleep well, sleep well!" Xie Feng smiled a little awkwardly. His actions just now were indeed rude.
Then he pointed to Sirendis and said, "Let's solve her matter first, let's talk about it!" β
Dusthorn nodded very simply, took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Xie Feng: "This is the detailed explanation of the magic array drawings and the use of mana, they should understand it!" β
Xie Feng nodded, he didn't look at it, and he couldn't understand it anyway~ He threw it directly to Dalenis, who was closest to him, and pointed at Sirendis, signaling them to implement the seal. At the same time, he casually asked Dustorn, "How can you have such a magic array?" Looks like a chicken?! Who would be bored enough to study this? β
"Oh~" Dusthorn replied, "The purpose of this magic array is to imprison the captives!" In order to make them lose their resistance and obedientness, it is usually used in magical prisons as well. β
Xie Feng understood.
As they spoke, the Magus had already walked out of the hall with a resentful expression on her face, and had gone to find a place to cast a spell. Dusthorn waved his hand to let the entourage behind him out, then looked at Xie Feng and said:
"After the battle yesterday, I used the teleportation magic array to report the situation here to Silvermoon City, and they also have new instructions there!" Speaking of this, he paused and waited for Xie Feng's reaction.
Seeing her movements, Xie Feng's expression suddenly became solemn. In this heavily guarded barracks in Talunmir, you still need to be so careful, it seems that this news is very unusual~~
got up and walked to the side of the small conference room and opened the door, frowned, and said, "Come in!" β
He wasn't shy about his men, but after all, the walls had ears, and it wouldn't be good if others heard them.
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly followed up.
After everyone went in and closed the door, Xie Feng asked Terri to put a magic enchantment to insulate the sound.
After everyone sat down, Dusthorn said with a solemn face: "This magic message, the Silvermoon City Council has only explained one thing to you!" β
"Take part in the Battle of Arathi! And the victory of the Horde must be guaranteed! β
Xie Feng: "Needless to say, I will do my best!" β
"AlsoγThere must be a tough battle or two! Regardless of casualties, be sure to play with momentum and let the mainland see how powerful we are!! β
"!" Xie Feng scolded unceremoniously, and said angrily: "What do you mean regardless of casualties? Who the fuck said that? Why didn't he come in person, regardless of casualties? β
Dustsdorne was silent: "It's a magic letter signed by the Regent, General Haduron *Mingyi, and Romans ** Division!" In other words, it is a joint decision of the entire parliament!! β
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent.
These three people almost represent the new Silver Moon Council, which means that this order is the result of the joint recognition of the entire Silver Moon City, and it cannot be easily disobeyed at all!
If it was just an order from the regent Lothima, Xie Feng could refuse it without hesitation, but the three members of the council, including Romans, jointly ordered it
Why is this happening? These rangers led by Garinder are the first to return to the Blood Elves, and if they fall victim to politics because of the factions in Silvermoon City, what will the other High Elves think outside? For this alone, Lothima and Haduron would not have attacked them, otherwise they would not have signed the high-level certificate in Xie Feng's hand so happily. Not to mention Romans, who was originally on the same front, and he didn't offend Liadline in order to deal with himself. This order also participated, which only means that he has passed through the anger with Liadrin, and has her acquiescence!
Xie Feng was puzzled by this, could it be that there was something that made the top management of Yinyue reach a consensus?
While he was thinking, Dusthorn took out another piece of magic letterhead and said to Xie Feng: "General, Lord Liadrin's letter to you alone!" β
Xie Feng was startled, and after reaching out to take it, he didn't open the letterhead immediately, but stared at Dusthorn, waiting for her explanation.
She said that this was a letter from Liadlin to Xie Feng alone, indicating that in addition to communicating with the official of Silvermoon City, she also maintained contact with Liadlin in private. Otherwise, if there is anything to say, Romans can also be passed directly and secretly, and there is no need for Liadlin to run alone.
Seeing Xie Feng staring at him, Dusthorn replied very cheerfully, "I, like Lady Oliphilos, belong to the old aristocratic forces of Silvermoon City!" After the dissolution of the original Silvermoon Council of the Scourge War, I swore allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Lord Leadline unilaterally contacted me. β
Xie Feng nodded, the old aristocratic forces used to be attached to the old Silver Moon Council, but after the battle of the natural disaster, most of the old councils died, and these forces attached to them gradually lost their power and were suppressed by all sides, so they had to choose one side to take refuge. I think the same is true of Dustdorn.
After figuring out the situation, he looked down at the scroll in his hand.
It was a magic letterhead, rolled into a scroll, with a small secret magic circle at the seal. If there is no specific way to force open the scroll, the entire letterhead will be burned to ashes in an instant. The information on it disappears at the same time, so that it will not be leaked. The small magic array shone with violet arcane elemental light, and from time to time there was a flow of arcane corroded holy light energy unique to the Blood Knight, which showed that this was a special letterhead that circulated alone in the Morning Striker Legion, and it should have been written by Liadrin.
Xie Feng took out the Morning Blade Seal he had obtained from Liadrin, injected holy light energy into it to activate it, and shone it on the magic letterhead. A crisp voice sounded, and the magic array on the letterhead dissipated.
After removing the secrecy measures, Xie Feng put away the seal and began to read the information on it carefully~~
It didn't take long for Xie Feng to roll up the letterhead and throw it on the ground after reading it, and with a slight stomp of his left foot, a golden flame of holy light rose from the ground, burning the letterhead to ashes in an instant, and then began to meditate and close his eyes and ponder~~
Although everyone present was curious about the above content, they still suppressed their thoughts and sat quietly on the side and didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of disturbing him and interrupting his train of thought~
There are not many words on the letterhead, Xie Feng has already read it in an instant, but the information contained in it, any one of them is leaked, it is enough to cause turmoil in the entire continent!
The first thing is the latest news from Prince Kael'thas in the Far Outer Realms. He has obtained water from the Well of Eternity from Illidan, and has built several mana forges throughout the Void Storm with the Storm Fortress as a hub for the Blood Elves of the Outlands to cure their addictions.
In addition, Illidan has breached the Dark Temple, capturing the demon lord there, Mathridon, the Child of Hell, and imprisoning him in a fortress on the Hellfire Peninsula under the command of Grand Chief Kargas Bladefist. and gathered his demon army, Naga and the blood elves are preparing to attack Shattrath. At the same time, Kilgardan has ordered Kazak, Lord of Doom, to begin working on opening the Dark Gate again!
Prince Kelseth has ordered the Blood Elves to send a large army to the Outlands as soon as the Dark Gate opens, to support his actions in the Voidstorm!
These two pieces of news are enough for Xie Feng to judge a lot of things from them~~~ Kilgardan has already begun to prepare for the burning expedition. Prince Kael'thas has not yet made contact with Kil'Gardan and has not begun to engage in the skin of the tiger, and he is still very sober. Illidan hasn't fallen out with Kil'Gardan yet, and he hasn't been suppressed as an otaku in the Dark Gate, and he can still come out and hang out twice.
Second, the Scourge Legion has once again increased its forces through the floating fortress Naxxramas to the Eastern Plague and has begun a full-scale counteroffensive, and Silver Dawn has already asked the Alliance and the Horde for help under pressure. To this end, the Alliance and the Horde once again concluded a peace treaty that would be shattered like a membrane, and each began to prepare for a coordinated attack on the Plaguelands.
Third, the growing friction between orcs and night elves in the Ash Valley woodlands on the continent of Kalimdor has been temporarily mediated by the Cenarion Council. The Great Druids who had been sleeping in the Emerald Dream suddenly woke up in large numbers recently, because they had a premonition in their dreams that an evil force was awakening, and at the same time, the four dragons guarding the entrance to the Emerald Dream were affected by unknown forces, frantically attacking all the beings that entered their eyes. According to the druids, this is likely to be related to the Battle of the Quicksand a thousand years ago, and now a large number of druids have gone south to Silishus. The Council of Cenarion is also working with various parties to organize a coalition of forces against this evil force.
Fourth, Stormwind has been moving frequently and massing forces recently, and the 'infamous' MI7 is also a scout, and its troops are aimed at the Burning Plains.
Maybe others will be puzzled by these things, but Xie Feng certainly understands what these things mean. The names of the familiar large dungeons jump into my mind~ Naxxramas, Angela, Molten Heart, Blackstone Tower~~ If the Alliance succeeds in rescuing the long-lost Marshal Wendthor, there will also be an Onexia Lair!
It's okay to say if it's still the previous ones, but now, with the whole world real, can you expect a group of sixth-order rookies to push the big ice cream and the black dragon prince? Can they be counted on to score Naxxramas? As soon as I thought of these, Xie Feng began to have a headache~~
However, according to the calculation of time, there is still a period of time before the start of these wars, and there is still enough time for you to plan and make choices for the time being~~
Now the imminent question is the immediate problem, the order of Silver Moon City, what should I do?
If you connect the things mentioned in the letter, it is not difficult to find a problem. This Battle of Arathi will be the last big battle between the Alliance Tribes in the short term! After that, all the forces cooperated and traveled everywhere in order to resist the evil forces and save the whole world.
How much strength the Blood Elves will exert in this battle is directly related to the second thing, how much strength the tribe will exert to help the Blood Elves in the Plague War. Similarly, the performance of the Blood Elves in the Plague Battle will also directly affect how much of a position the alliance will occupy in the future expeditions to the outer regions! Therefore, all the high-level officials will desperately give Xie Feng a death order, so that he must use all his strength, and there can be no hesitation and retreat! Use the casualties of these rangers in exchange for the unsparing support of the orcs in the future, and at the same time, once again prove the strength of Silver Moon City to the mainland!
Although their approach is very chilling, it is indeed the best choice from the perspective of the interests of the entire race.
But Xie Feng couldn't do it! This kind of thing of using the lives of his soldiers as bargaining chips, Xie Feng really can't do it. Even if you know that this is beneficial to the overall situation, it is likely to save more people's lives and reduce a lot of unnecessary sacrifices~~
Liadlin also understood Xie Feng's character, and knew that he would not easily give up his rangers because of orders from the higher-ups. Therefore, he wrote a separate letter, telling him all the ins and outs of everything, and let him weigh the pros and cons and choose what he thought was the right path.
However, isn't this forcing Xie Feng to sacrifice the rangers? Without this letter, Xie Feng would not have hesitated in the slightest about his decision, but although he was still firm now, he was finally a little shaken.
"Maybe Lotherma and the others knew that I was in contact with Liadrin, so they gave the order without telling me why? Although these things are confidential, I can still know about them in my current position as the person in charge, right? But when they say it, it will bounce back with my character, but let Liadline say it~~ at least it shakes me ~~"
"Liadrin~~ Don't you really understand their plans? ~~Why are you writing this letter~~"
At this point, Xie Feng involuntarily felt a trace of loss in his heart, and the strength in his body seemed to be suddenly drained, and he sat down on the chair.
"My lord! You, what are you going to do~~ Ready? While Xie Feng was pondering, Garinde asked a little nervously. After all, if you really follow this order to fight one or two tough battles to show the strength of the Blood Elf Clan, then you must let the ranger troops take action, and in the face of tens of thousands of alliance troops, even if they win, how many rangers are left under their command? All of this depends on Xie Feng's decision
"Nothing to talk about! I will never let the lives of my people be a joke!! Xie Feng replied without hesitation, and then said suspiciously: "I'm thinking about the reason for the high-level move~~"
Hearing Xie Feng's promise, Garinde quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Seeing Galinde's relieved look, Xie Feng suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart~
"Perhaps, I should plan for myself and for these people who believe in me."
After a long time, Xie Feng suddenly sat up straight, opened his eyes and stared at Dusthorn, and said firmly: "Reply to me!" Tell them that I refuse to let the Rangers bump into the Alliance! In this battle of Arashi, I will only lead a small number of elites, and the large army will stay in Tarunmir to rest and recuperate, and I will definitely not bring it over! β
"If anything goes wrong with this operation, I'll take all the blame! Including what they calculated for the future! β
Everyone was stunned for a while, they didn't know what was written on that letterhead, Xie Feng would have such a big mood swing after reading it, and now he was even openly an order to resist Silver Moon City.
"General Alex! ThisγIs this ~~~" Dusthorn hesitated a little.
"Nothing like that, just reply! If they have the ability, let them come and fight on their own! Xie Feng waved his hand to interrupt her, and reiterated again with impatience on his face: "Now, I have the final say here!" β
"Yes!" Seeing Xie Feng's imposing and resolute look, Dusthorn replied helplessly: "I will convey your meaning!" β
Xie Feng nodded with a gloomy face, and said to Galinde: "Pick two hundred elite rangers and let me bring them to Arashi!" You stay here and lead the rest of the rangers and guard Tarummir! β
"Everyone else, come with me!"
After speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he asked Tyri to open the enchantment, kicked away the chair in front of him, and slammed the door out~
"Adjournment! Get back to sleep for me! β
