Chapter 391: Azhara to Ashenvale
Sunlight pours through the windows into the temple, and a new day begins.
Kael'thas stood in front of the window, looking out at the orange world as he straightened up for Valera to put on his armor.
It was the first time he had worn armor, and he didn't even know the order of wearing it.
"But, Your Highness, why do you have to wear armor?"
Valera squatted down, carefully helped him arrange his knee pads, and then said:
"You're not a warrior."
Kael'thas withdrew his gaze and moved his stiff elbows.
"I'm not a pure mage either."
He explained with a smile:
"Once I'm used to it, the armor shouldn't get in the way of my movements."
Of course, Kael'thas did not name the most important reason.
He had heard about the armor from the human companion a few years earlier, and now, the heavy and hard armor reminded him of the path he wanted to take.
In fact, different dresses will have a certain impact on a person's usual behavior and actions, armor - this can make Kael'thas heart tighter.
Perhaps more of an autosuggestion.
The armor he wears is significantly different from the armor worn by ordinary soldiers, and in addition to a more ornate style, there is also a stronger defensive magic to protect the clone.
The first two Sun Kings were both powerful warriors when they were young, and Kael'thas was looking for that feeling.
Compared to his predecessors, he had too little experience.
"What, isn't it right for me?"
Kael'thas half-jokingly said to Valera.
The female thief shook her head at once.
"Nope. It's perfect for you. ”
Valera spoke her mind.
Golden armor, slender body, blonde hair and royal cloak scattered behind the back, plus handsome enough to be proud of other elves.
Kael'thas changed his previous weak aura and became as sharp as an unsheathed sword.
[It's a pity that a weapon is missing.] 】
Valera had some regrets.
If you wear a long sword on your waist, Kael'thas will be perfect.
But Flame Strike cannot be summoned lightly. Seven weapons are not suitable for being released all the time, which is also a helpless thing.
They walked to the inner square of the temple, and some elves were ready.
"Solan Lianne. You and Valella are here to wait, and I'll let you know when I take Aurelia and Lannacel and they decide where to settle down. ”
Kael'thas ordered the two of them to stay in the temple with the large army, and then to take the rangers and warriors, plus a hybrid force of hundreds of elves and trolls. Begin to prepare to leave the Temple of Akolan.
Yakorok, who had not welcomed them the night before, was now reluctant to let the Kael'thas go—he was rarely able to be friends with people of other races.
Of course, in the end, Kael'thas and the others left.
As is customary, some elves and troll thieves went to explore the way beforehand, and the main force moved cautiously behind.
The blue sky, but the whole of Eshara is autumn.
Autumn leaves are scattered all over the forest, and they fall slowly with the wind, and from time to time they fall on the elves.
"It's amazingly beautiful."
Aurelia watched the chocobo step on the maple leaves all over the ground, and let out a happy voice.
Ever since Sylvanas' death, this was Kael'thas seeing the ranger's cheeks relax slightly.
"There's something wrong with the withering of this maple leaf. It shouldn't be a normal formation. ”
Lannathel followed suit.
The two of them walked side by side with Kael'thas on the left and right, carefully guarding his safety.
In reality, however, Kael'thas does not need protection.
"The explosion of the Well of Eternity has affected this area, and these maple leaves may be cursed." …,
He smiled at his two companions:
"But the whole world is more similar to Quel'Salas here."
The golden Quel'Salas of eternal spring. Eternal Autumn Red Azhara Kael'thas has always thought the two are somewhat similar.
"Then why doesn't Your Highness build a city here?"
Aurelia turned her head, frowned, and asked:
"That sea giant also said last night that Aishara doesn't have a strong force now, isn't it great?"
For some unknown reason, the Night Elves have all but abandoned Azhara for thousands of years, and only a small village remains on the land for guarding.
The orcs have placed their capital in Durontar, below Azhara. But the power did not develop towards Azhara either.
In both respects, Al Sala is a very good place to be – it also has a direct connection to Quel'Salas via the sea.
However, Kael'thas was reluctant to stay in Azhara if he could, at least not for now.
"Aurelia, do you know the World Tree?"
Kael'thas asked.
"Yes, Nordasil"
Aurelia said with some disgust:
"Receiving the blessing of the guardian dragon is something that will keep the Night Elves alive."
These things are not hidden in history.
After the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the Night Elves should have escaped from eternal life. However, Illidan, a traitor to the Night Elves, rebuilt a small Well of Eternity using the water stolen from the Well of Eternity. Naturally, this behavior was pursued by the Night Elves, who were disgusted with demonic methods.
Illidan was imprisoned to prevent an accident from the Well of Eternity. The Night Elves, along with the guardian dragons, laid the seeds of the World Tree in the well water, masking the fluctuations of magic.
The World Tree's name is 'Nordasil', and it has grown from the power of the Well of Eternity, and has been blessed by the guardian dragons.
The Night Elves have relied on the protection of Nodashir and have enjoyed eternal life for 10,000 years. The High Elves who have been expelled have changed for several generations.
"Yes, Nodashir, it's in Mount Hyjal."
Kael'thas pointed to the place west of Aishara that was cut off by the mountains, and explained:
"It's the goal of the demons this time."
He sneered.
"It's too close to Mount Hyjal. Building a city is not a good idea. ”
Several areas around Mount Hyjal could be affected by war, and building a city was a foolish idea.
Already facing great pressure, Akmund will definitely reshuffle the forces around him first.
Or maybe this shuffle has already begun.
That afternoon, deliberately bypassing Orgrimmar, Kael'thas and they left Azhara through a long river to reach a new place.
Ash Valley, an ancient forest. Possess plants that have not been touched by the mortal race for a long time.
Although it rains a lot, the climate is very mild, and the trees in the Ash Valley are very old and densely vegetated. Even the washed rain only trickles through the dark canopy.
It is worth mentioning that Ash Valley belongs to the Night Elves.
Kael'thas dared to set foot in this place because he knew that the Night Elves were not as strong as the other invaders.
A while ago. The Warsong Clan, led by Grom, is cutting down trees to build a base in Ashenvale, where the Night Elves have lost their sight.
This just gave Kael'thas a chance to cross the Ashendale to the south.
He didn't pause and walked straight south.
However, the thieves from the perimeter brought the unexpected news that the orcs were fighting the Night Elves.
This caught the attention of Kael'thas. …,
"You take this with you and don't let anyone else find out."
He gave a phoenix feather to the thief and told him to take it to the place where the battle was taking place.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
After the thieves left, Aurelia asked Kael'thas questions.
"That feather is more useful than any magic item, I can use it to see what's going on on the other side,"
Kael'thas explained it to her.
They traveled south for a few minutes. Kael'thas brought the team to a halt.
"That's it."
As he spoke, he recited a spell and unfolded a vision in the dim forest—a vision of the feathers.
The scene of the battle was revealed.
On one side are roaring orcs, and on the other are night elves roaming around on leopards.
These Night Elves still retain their original appearance, and are about the same height as the trolls. Violet's skin, and some dark lines still remain on the face.
"These guys are no different from what is documented."
Lanna Cel said.
A lot of the High Elves who watched didn't, should say that they were blood elves now, and they also acquiesced to Lannathel's words.
Children of the Stars, Night Elves' complexion and physiognomy still maintain ancient traditions.
In fact, it should be said that the blood elves have changed too much.
When they migrated, they became short (on a par with humans) because of their weakness. After that, it changed the way it operated at night. became blonde and blue-eyed, and gradually became what it is now.
After a long time, the Night Elves and Blood Elves bear little resemblance other than the same pointed ears.
"Those rangers, they're strong."
Aurelia saw another problem.
The Night Elves rode nimbly through the forest on leopards, meeting their enemies with arrows, apparently a group of rangers or sentinel hunters.
The Blood Elves rangers are obviously not as nimble as these Night Elves.
But if it does, the Blood Elves won't be disadvantaged - their rangers know a little bit more about magic.
Kael'thas remained silent and continued to observe the situation.
As he thought, while Dark Night was strong, Grom's Warsong Clan was a little stronger.
That Warsong Chief even dragged half of the Night Elves on his own.
How far has it been now?
Kael'thas was even more distressed because he didn't know where the feud between Grom and the Night Elves had reached.
This is very important intelligence.
Grom's conflict with the Night Elves, who is the first outsider to come into contact with the Night Elves. When the Warsong Clan fights the Night Elves, the jungle demigod Cenarius will help the Night Elves defeat Grom.
After that, demons appeared, and the Abyss Lord Manolos contaminated a well in Ashen Valley with his own blood. Grom's desire to kill drove him to find this terrible source of water and drink it, and when he was full of power, he would kill the demigod Cenarius.
Kael'thas needed to know where he was now.
He is unsure about the hidden whereabouts of the demon (welcome to your support, is my biggest motivation. )
