Chapter 217: The Secret Loyalist

When Mephites received news from King Anastarian, he was amazed at what had happened in Quel'Thalas, but he couldn't help but laugh.

All along, Darkan, a former companion, had become a thorn in his heart, worrying Mephites.

Unexpectedly, Darkan turned around and went to a desperate situation by himself.

This mage, who was lost in power, was discovered in time before he caused great harm.

Although the High Elves have lost a strong man, it also means that the internal stability has not been lost, and the unity that has been inherited for thousands of years has not been lost.

Kael'thas would eventually inherit a nation without a lord's dissenting intentions.

Still, Mephites held back his joy, knowing it was too early to rejoice.

Until Darkan was actually dead, the man was always a threat.

[Let's not tell Your Highness yet.] 】

Seeing Kael'thas busy, Mephites thought about it, but still didn't tell him about it, including the theft of the runestone.

The elves have been busy for almost a month, and the refugees from the Arathi Heights have returned, and they have also started a new life without a hitch.

Kael'thas finally received a new order - to go to Danmoro.

As mentally prepared for a long time, the alliance could not hold out on the frontal battlefield. Judging from the content of the order, this is because the tribe sent the black dragons over and completely suppressed the alliance.

Kael'thas was a little worried, so he took the elves on the southbound journey.

They crossed the majestic and massive Sador Bridge, left the Arathi Heights, and came to the first stop of the South Road: the wetlands.

The scenery of the wetlands is exactly the same as it was a few years ago, and the continuous wetland swamps have amazed many elves who have seen them for the first time.

Almost all of the elves have never been to the South Parkway, and these elves generally stay in Quel'Thalas, and occasionally come out to play and study in the human society, and most of them are in the North Road and Dara.

Kael'thas and the others coincidentally met a group of mages from Dalaran in the wetlands.

These mages were very different from the elven mages, wearing purple robes, the color of Dalaran.

The magical capital of Dalaran, the most powerful kingdom of mankind, the realm of mages, their characteristics are visible at a glance.

Unlike all humans, these mages did not look at the High Elves with surprise or awe, but treated them with a very calm and familiar attitude.

"Hello, friends from Quel'Salas, are you also heading to Danmoro?"

The leader of the mages of Dalaran came to greet him, and he was a high-ranking professional.

Although the human mage did not recognize Kael'thas's identity, he also saw that he was the commander of the elves, and made a mage salute to Kael'thas:

"I'm Aemon Spike from Dalaran."

"Kael'thas * Chaser."

Despite having no impression of the human's name, Kael'thas returned the favor with a smile.

When he said his name, the human mage was visibly stunned, and the other mages behind him even looked at Kael'thas in horror.

The mage of Dalaran, there is no one who does not know the surname Kael'thas and the Chaser, because this elf is a member of the Council of Kenrito, which they have long established, and one of the rulers of all mages.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Kael'thas."

Mage Aemon quickly collected his surprise, but his attitude became visibly deferential.

The rest of the human mages followed him, saluting Kael'thas with some restraint.

It's a group of mages who aren't very powerful, and the magic that exudes them tells Kael'thas that they're almost all mid-level professionals.

In the human race, where there are often extremely talented professionals, it can be said that talent is everything, and it is clear that these mages are not people of exceptional talent.

Kael'thas couldn't help but be a little worried, at this stage, what could these mid-level mages help?

He is not a human after all, and in the eyes of humans, the value of a mage is very high, even if it is an intermediate mage, his diverse abilities can provide relatively large help for a small battle.

"We're going to Danmorrow, if you don't mind, come with us."

Kael'thas returns to the first question of the human mage and initiates the invitation.

"Of course I don't mind."

Emon was overjoyed, nodded and said:

"Let's follow you."

The road ahead was not as simple as it had been, and Eamon understood very well why Dalaran wanted one of his high-level mages to take this group of mid-level mages to Danmoro.

On the road to Danmoro in the wetlands, many mage squads have already been attacked and killed by hidden tribal orcs.

Aemon was worried about encountering those green-skinned enemies along the way, and now that these elves are around, their safety is 100% guaranteed.

So, the human mages came to the rear of the elven troops and continued their journey south with them.

Halfway through, Onexia suddenly stopped Kael'thas.

"There are enemies."

She told it simply.

Kael'thas looked at Mephites, and the old mage nodded in response.

[It seems that my strength is still too low.] 】

Kael'thas thought to himself, and after stopping the group, he looked around cautiously.

There were flat swamps on both sides of the road, and it was clear that the enemy could not hide on the ground.

He looked up at the sky.

Ten seconds later, he saw a group of black dots coming.

"Black dragons and orcs, prepare for battle!"

Kael'thas raised his hand and motioned for the elves to prepare.

However, these uninvited guests stopped and did not come any closer.

They may be hesitant to attack.

The ranks of elves are more than a thousand, and as long as they are not stupid, this group of orcs should also know how to dodge.

But they flew over anyway.

Kael'thas was puzzled, but when he saw that the orcs on the back of the black dragon were picking up something, he understood that the orcs had come to drop bombs.

Orcs may not be going to fight, but that doesn't mean they just leave doing nothing.

[Can't those dwarves destroy the bomb and fail?] 】

Kael'thas cursed the dwarves for leaving the bomb for the enemy, but he also knew that the orcs could not be approached now, and no one had told him that the high-level professions could withstand the explosion of the bomb.

"Xiao Ao."

So he cried out and summoned his phoenix.

After the flaming golden phoenix appeared, it flew directly towards the black dragons without unnecessary orders.

It arced gracefully in the air, causing flames to burn on each black dragon's body.

The black dragons screamed miserably, spitting flames from their mouths to fight back, but they had no effect on the phoenix.

"Destroy it!"

The orcs screamed and attacked Xiao Ao in a panic.

"Py~"

Xiao Ao makes a crisp cry, giving people the feeling of being happy, as if they are playing.

The elves on the ground, who were a little worried, were also relieved when they heard its chirp.

Immediately after, the two dragons couldn't withstand Xiao Ao's flames, shook a few times, and fell to the ground.

"Destroy them."

Kael'thas said to the elves behind him, his eyes lit up.

Several elves quickly left the group and ran towards the place where the orcs had fallen, and then dealt with them cleanly before they could come to their senses.

"Quick, get out of here!!"

The orcs finally realized the danger and began to flee.

After two more black dragons fell, the figures of these orcs also disappeared into the sky.

"No need to chase."

Kael'thas stopped O's pursuit and decided to continue south.

"Little one, why don't you let me chase it, and I'll help you deal with those orcs."

Onexia suddenly spoke:

"Maybe I can destroy the other party's lair and add a credit to you!"

Kael'thas swore that he saw this moment, and the Black Dragon Princess had a clear sentence written on her face - 'Actually, I'm bored'.

He felt that the surname of the Black Dragon Princess was similar to that of a child, and he didn't like things that were too restrictive.

"You can go if you want."

Kael'thas replied, not stopping her.

Soon, the black dragon princess quietly left the team.

And after a short battle, the human mages at the back of the team also quietly discussed.

"Didn't you say that His Highness Kael'thas was about the same age as us? How doesn't it feel like it? ”

"That's right, didn't you say that elves can only reach adulthood and advance in hundreds of years?"

"Obviously not, with the pet just summoned, His Highness Kael'thas is not only a high-level mage!"

"Isn't his talent better than us humans?"

"How is it possible, he is definitely not as good as Luo Ning, and the new disciple that Lord Antonidas accepted is also a super genius."

"How can you compare elves to humans?"

In the midst of the group of mages, Aemon whispered, "Don't forget, elves are dozens of times older than humans. ”

"His Highness Kael'thas is now equivalent to a human child a few years old, and if he can have such a powerful power, after thousands of years, he will definitely be the most powerful mage in the world."

"Wow, he's going to be better than Egwene?"

"Of course."

Aemon replied as a matter of course, he had already made a small calculation in his heart.

It is obvious that in the future, when His Highness Kael'thas becomes the lord of Dalaran, he will be the strongest mage who has ruled for thousands of years.

If he can get his approval, then Emmon will be richly rewarded for this life, and even for his children and grandchildren.

[This is a good opportunity. 】

Aemon thought carefully.

He is now just a high-level mage, with no background and talent, and there is little possibility of ascending, perhaps the arrival of Kael'thas will give him a chance.

In any case, in a few years, when Kael'thas came to Dalaran, Aemon would have a chance to be loyal if anyone was dissatisfied.

"By the way, what was the pet he summoned just now?"
