The slanting light of the moon rippled on the boundless sea, and the sky gradually brightened.

At dawn, ships from Quel'Salas arrived, one by one.

Kael'thas stood on top of a sea cliff, the leaves rustling in the wind around him, his golden cloak fluttering.

His eyes were fixed on the shore.

Hundreds of young, old elves stepped out of the ship and were arranged into the small town of Quelldany.

The decision to evacuate made by King Anastarian, the first personnel have already arrived.

However, too slow is still too slow

Akmund's footsteps were on, and in less than two days he would reach Quel'Thalas.

In two days, how many people can be evacuated?

Kael'thas didn't know.

But he, like Anastarian, chose between the Well of the Sun and the elves: to protect the new generation in the face of inevitable catastrophe no matter what.

Adult and powerful elves will be the last defense.

The last struggle

"Salorian, I'm going back to Quel'Thalas."

He spoke softly, with an unmistakable taste.

"Your Majesty's order, I can't refuse."

After the voice, Salorian's figure appeared silently behind Kael'thas .

At the moment when everyone went to rest, only the warrior was still following Kael'thas.

Anastarian's orders kept him on his toes, and Kael'thas was not strong enough to get rid of him.

But

"The Everyday Family has never been an evasor, Salorian. I don't want to betray this tradition. ”

Kael'thas turned, his gaze fixed on the elven warrior in golden armor.

He saw the color in the other man's eyes.

"You too, from the moment I saw you in Nanhai Town, I discovered your inner struggle."

"You don't want to leave Quel'Thalas to defend me."

In the cold wind, Salorian's face turned stunned.

But he shook his head.

"Even so, I will not disobey orders."

replied very stubbornly

Kael'thas looked at him with a little contempt.

"I heard that the Holy Sword Queldra would choose its owner, but I didn't expect its owner to be so cowardly this time."

He gestured to the holy sword that Salorian was holding. Said sarcastically: "Even I feel its restlessness. ”

"Why don't you listen to it? Or say"

Kael'thas walked up to Salorian and said in a deep voice, "Do you dare to take it where it wants?" ”

"Passarian. You should seriously think about it, this sword shouldn't have been silent here."

Kael'thas then walked past the warrior without the slightest hesitation.

Dawn rises. A thin mist enveloped the entire town of Queldani.

Densely packed with elves, but quiet.

Kael'thas returned to the command post and walked straight to the lab on the side.

The members of the Sun-Seeking Research Institute left behind in Hinterland have been studying the plague here for half a night.

"How?"

Kael'thas asked as he went in.

The elves hurriedly sorted out the report, and then sent a young representative over.

"Your Highness, this plague has no effect on us."

The representative reported his conclusions before explaining the reason: "The exact structure of the plague is still unknown, but it is activated by a trace of demonic blood, which can be considered a semi-magical effect. ”

"Our elves have a high resistance to magic and can ignore these effects."

Kael'tham's tense heart relaxed a little.

"Is the conclusion confirmed?"

To prevent accidents. He asked again.

"Sure!"

The representative nodded affirmatively, but he paused, adding, "But if the concentration of this plague increases, it may also affect some children." ”

[Child? 】

Kael'thas frowned, though there were not many High Elf children. But it's also precious.

"Can you work out a solution?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the pride on the faces of these researchers.

…,

"Yes, Your Highness, it has been studied."

The elven representative turned around and took a small bottle from his companion's hand, then held it up and said, "This potion will keep the children defenses for a week, at the cost of casting spells more difficult than usual. ”

It seems to be a way to temporarily isolate the child from the magical element

I've heard that some elite rangers also use this method when training. Used to reduce dependence on the Well of the Sun - Quel'Thalas has a very small force that minimizes his addiction.

These troops are the healthiest troops after the destruction of the Well of the Sun in history.

Kael'thas also has some of these rangers under him, so he knows a little bit about it.

"Does it produce energy?"

But he was also concerned about the yield of the potion.

And the researchers used the facts to make that concern disappear.

The potion does not require a high level of craftsmanship to make, and herbalists with a certain amount of knowledge can make it independently.

In this way, Kael'thas was relieved.

He called some priests to learn how to make potions, and ordered the researchers here to make them for the children of Hinterland.

By the time everything was done, it was nearly noon.

Everyone got up from sleep and got ready for lunch.

While eating lunch, Kael'thas suddenly said, "In the afternoon, let's go back to Quel'Thalas." ”

The news surprised all the elves.

Sylvanas and Aurelia were happy, while Lanather and Liadlin were nervous.

The latter two looked at Salorian.

The saint-level warrior was silent, but finally acquiesced to the act.

As Kael'thas said, Salorian didn't want to leave the country at risk and come here.

For the first time in his life, he betrayed Anastarian's decision

After lunch. Kael'thas was greeted by some of the trolls from Cynçalo and their ships.

The Hammer Dwarves were also enlightened in providing cargo ships.

With the priests who had learned the herbs, Kael'thas took the group and the empty ship to the north to pick up.

In the evening, the ships landed on the shore of the Forbidden Sea.

The port was crowded with people, and countless teleportation arrays were shining, constantly teleporting the elves in the inland city.

"Your Highness, do you want to meet with His Majesty the King first?"

Aurelia asked.

But Kael'thas refused.

Neither he nor Salorian were fit to meet Anastarian right now.

"Solan Lianne."

Kael'thas called the astrologist and commanded her, "Go tell your father about our return." We will help with the evacuation and reassure my father that we will not go where we are dangerous. ”

Solanlian nodded gloomily in acceptance.

She left with a faint bitterness in her heart, and it was clear that Kael'thas had a pimple with her.

And after the astrology left. Kael'thas asked the priests to make potions and teach the others, and when they were done, they ran with the rest of the people to the woods.

Everywhere along the way, you can see the teams of elves moving away.

Now is the time when the situation is at its most dangerous. The migration of the elves has only just reached its peak, and if the time for the demons comes, it will be all over.

According to the intelligence, Akmund will need to travel for almost 2 days, and there may be humans on the way to deal with it, but it will not take more than 4 days at most.

But for 4 days, the vast majority of the elves have not left.

He had to find a way to stall a little longer.

――

Solanlian soon arrived at Silvermoon City and reported the news to King Anastarian.

"Did he really come back?"

This elven king was holding a huge staff, but there was no surprise on his face.

"Your Majesty, do you know?"

Solan Lian couldn't help but be surprised.

"Of course I do."

Anastarian replied in a deep voice: "I know both his and Salorian's personalities, in fact, I originally put my hope on that little priest. ”

"But it doesn't look like she's as useful as I thought she would"

It's not just useless

…,

[It is impossible for her to disobey His Highness's orders. 】

Solan Lian could only smile bitterly.

"Alright. If he comes back, I'll send some people to help him. ”

Anastarian said, then waved Solanlian back.

But before the astral could leave, he stopped her again.

"You go to accompany the queen, she wants to see you."

Simple commands.

But Solan Lian's eyes suddenly turned slightly red.

"Yes. Your Majesty! ”

She bowed her head and left.

Not long after leaving, the black dragon princess came out of the shadows again.

"Doesn't it matter? His Highness Kael'thas "

She frowned awkwardly.

Anastarian, however, was pleased with the name she called her child.

"He has outside benefits, but he also has back benefits."

He looked at Onexia and said in a deep voice: "Salorian is useless, then you watch him from behind and don't put him in danger." ”

Onexia nodded.

She lifted her feet and walked out.

"Is this the last time I'll see you?"

I didn't take a few steps. Onexia asked abruptly back.

“”

Anastarian was silent.

He looked at the flaming strike he was carrying, and finally nodded.

"That's right, Kael'thas will leave it to you in the future"

Onexia was stunned.

She sighed and smiled wryly: "You are different from my father."

She said this, then shook her head again.

"No, you're a bit like him."

"Neither of you is a qualified father, but you are indeed a qualified husband."

The Black Dragon Princess turned to leave, and Anastarian saw her waving her hand with her back to her.

"Go all the way."

A soft, quiet feminine voice

It was obviously Onexia's departure, but it was said to Anastaryan.

This was the first time that the Elven King had received the care of the black dragon, but he could only hear it in tone

[It's really not frank]

Anastarian tilted his head and smiled nonchalantly: "Just like me"

I didn't be frank for half my life, but in the end, I was able to make a frank choice.
