Chapter 6 The Storm is Coming
"I'm sorry, but I've been gone for a long time this time. You've worked hard all these years," Moon Shadow turned and slowly walked to the table, looking at these old friends, he shook his head slightly, and his face was apologetic.
"You don't have to blame yourself, King, we exist to share it for you." Darth Rema shook his head and bowed his head, as a subordinate, this former high-level elf can be said to be dutiful. His loyalty to Lunaris is evident for thousands of years, and he fully supports Lunaris's ideals over Malfurion's friends. Moon Shadow nodded with some relief, and Illidan and the others all said that he didn't need to care too much. However, Moon Shadow also felt it, and the distance between him and his friends became more and more distant.
From the moment he became the king of the Cadore, this distance began to arise; It wasn't until he became a demigod that he began to strengthen. Moon Shadow didn't pay much attention to it before, but after all the years, Moon Shadow felt a little helpless when everything came to the fore. Once the estrangement is created, it will not disappear easily, and Moon Shadow turned around and sighed slightly.
"I just came back to China and I don't know much about it, so I called you here to ask you. Although Onexia gave me a brief explanation before, they certainly don't know the details as you do. Moon Shadow said as he walked over to his desk and sat down slowly, then he shifted his gaze to Malfurion, "Old friend, how did I do with the task I gave you?" ”
"I have to say that with the help of the World Tree, we have achieved remarkable results, and there are many new compatriots who are willing to join this cause." Speaking of the druid's treatment of the earth, Malfurion's face couldn't help but be happy, but then his face darkened again: "It's just that the ancient wars have caused too much damage to the earth. Knowing that we've only repaired less than a tenth of this shattered continent right now. ”
"There's no need to rush this matter, anyway, we have an endless lifespan that can be completely repaired one day." Illidan raised an eyebrow as he spoke, and continued, "I feel like we should still tighten our grip on the other races, and those short-lived species have been making more and more small moves over the years; I think that's the number one priority. ”
"Why do we have to dominate others?" Malfurion, apparently disgusted by Illidan's proposal, immediately began to quarrel.
"Alright." Moon Shadow interrupted them, saying that it would not be enough for them to quarrel for a few years, and then he looked at Darth Rema and asked, "How's it going?" Tell me about it. ”
"Yes king. Over the years, our national strength has grown every year. Coupled with the trade between the Eastern colonies and the human race, our treasure trove is almost overwhelmed. In the last few hundred years, there has been another race called dwarves in the East, and their ancestors seem to be the earth spirits who fought with us during the ancient wars. They are very fond of drinking, and I opened a trade route with them a few years ago. In short, financially, we have a surplus every year. Darth Lema was only briefly introduced, but he was clearly satisfied with his work with his chest held high.
"It's really good." Moon Shadow smiled heartily and nodded, although he drove the head, Darth Lemar managed it and gradually saw that there were many means. Lunaris then turned to Gadenor and Illidan, "Abundant finances can make our people rich, but we must also have defenses that can protect them. What is the increase in the army? ”
"One-tenth of those who are now serving are veterans of the War of the Ancients. The rest are all recent recruits, but all are well-trained and well-equipped. According to your instructions, I have also trained enough Horned Eagle and Griffon troops to be independent, and the strength of the army has tripled compared to 5,000 years ago. I think now even if the Burning Legion returns, we have the strength to fight. "Garnod is full of confidence, and he speaks without being humble or arrogant. But perhaps because of Mavi, he has a little less respect for Moon Shadow. Illidan glanced at Garnod and said no more.
Moon Shadow didn't care, and turned to look at Tyrande: "Malfurion has been outside, and in the end, you can talk about internal affairs and diplomacy collectively." ”
"As you said, there is no problem with the surplus and the prosperity of the people. As for diplomacy, I don't usually leave the Temple of the Moon, you can ask them. Tyrande glanced at Moon Shadow and said casually, then turned and walked to the window where Moon Shadow had been standing. She wasn't interested in politics in the first place. At that time, the reason for being an internal affairs officer was mostly because of her status as a high priest.
"In terms of diplomacy, it has been complicated for the past 5,000 years, and we are indeed a little powerless to deal with a series of problems such as human beings stealing magical knowledge, coupled with human civil strife." Darth Lema's chest lowered as he spoke, it was clear that he was basically in charge of diplomacy after Malfurion's departure, and he did feel disgraced about some things.
"Not the queen and her precious son yet," Illidan suddenly became angry, but halfway through his words, Darth Rema glanced at him, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back. Moon Shadow's face also turned unpleasant, and Illidan knew that he had lost his words and turned away without saying a word.
"Overall, we are still dominant in all aspects. At this stage, all races are not to be feared. No race dares to underestimate us elves. Garnod saw that the atmosphere was not right, and broke the embarrassment with his words.
"Ahh Got up from his seat and paced to the window, looking at the night sky and falling silent. Illidan and Malfurion exchanged glances, and both shook their heads and waited for Moon Shadow's next step.
"We have 10,000 years of recuperation with this land, but I expect someone to break the peace soon." Ten thousand years have passed, and all the estimates that should have happened will follow. Moon Shadow had tried his best to prevent things from going in this direction for years before, but the news he had received from the dragons told him that what was supposed to happen seemed to happen.
"What?" Moon Shadow's words stirred up a thousand waves, and several people in the room looked nervous. You must know that Moon Shadow must have said this, and there must be something big about to happen. It is enough to make a demigod sigh, and the danger can be imagined. Everything is on the right track, and it's their hard work.
"We were never safe, and even our victory in the War of the Ancients didn't change much. We have too many enemies with this planet, and every danger is enough to destroy our race and this planet. Moon Shadow said as the Void grabbed a wine glass, then took out another bottle of wine, poured half a glass, and handed it to Tyrande. Then he gave a glass to each of them. Finally, he shook his glass and took a sip.
"You say we're always in danger, and there's no such thing as absolute security, and I can understand that. But the planet can be destroyed, but the Burning Legion has found it back. Illidan couldn't resist his curiosity at first and began to ask.
"The Burning Legion is indeed about to return to Azeroth, and I think you have all discovered that some abyssal demons must have infiltrated this planet over the years, and they are the vanguard of the temptation." Moon Shadow said as she drained the glass of liquor before pouring herself half a glass.
"There are indeed some demons that have descended on Azeroth, and I have seen some of them, but they are just some weak demons that basically can't cause much harm, and the Burning Legion shouldn't be so weak if they are the vanguard." Malfurion shook his head, believing in Moon Shadow but having some doubts about his words.
"Of course, Azeroth's defenses are left behind by the Titans, and naturally they can't pass through easily. It's just that these symptoms have told us that he has found this planet. These temptations are all about finding a way to break through the Titan barrier, and that's not the only thing we're in trouble with. Do you remember that crazy black dragon back then? Moon Shadow leaned against the window, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she took a sip of the liquor.
"Wasn't it imprisoned by you and the dragon kings?" After hearing Moon Shadow's words, Malfurion, Tyrande, and Illidan's brows suddenly tightened, and they naturally remembered the crazy Nesario. Everything was reduced to ashes under the golden light, and it was indeed not easy for those who survived that massacre to forget him.
"I got information from several dragon kings of the dragon clan that the black dragon king Nesario successfully escaped from prison. And having stolen that golden artifact, the Dragon's Soul, he was no less dangerous than the Burning Legion. Moon Shadow frowned as he spoke, he now hated the Shadow who had banished him twice. Something he hasn't said yet, and the threat of the Elder Gods will soon manifest itself. The Battle of the Wall of Quicksand is about to begin, and the Bronze Dragon will begin to appeal to various races for help. And these threats he had prepared to deal with four thousand years ago.
