Chapter 0093: The Return of the King?
The first moment they teleported, Kael'thas and his party immediately noticed that something was wrong! Because, they found that between heaven and earth, a gray patch, and a dark cloud cover in the sky, blocked the afternoon sun. Topmost. There are still a lot of big ones that haven't gone away... Mushroom? Looking around, the sky is full of desolation, and the air is full of suspended smoke and dust......
"This, this can't be! How can it be? It shouldn't be like this...... Can anyone tell me what's going on here! What about Silvermoon City in our Kingdom of Quel'Thalas? What about our Eversong Forest? Why did it become like this? ”
On the top of a hill not far from the former site of Silvermoon City, this was originally an external teleportation circle outside Silvermoon City. Under normal circumstances, it is guarded by a few garrison mages and double the number of elite guards, plus a small number of rangers. Only those who are allowed or have permission can teleport here! This is like Prince Kael'thas who must have this authority!
Kael'thas and several of his followers had just used Dalaran's teleportation circle to teleport back to this position. Originally, they thought that when they came out, they would be warmly welcomed by the mages and guards stationed here, after all, their esteemed Prince Kael'thas had not returned to Quel'Salas for many years.
But now? It's completely different from what they imagined! Now, not only are there no mages, Silvermoon Guards, and Ranger in charge of garrisoning, but even this teleportation platform, which was originally paved with tough marble slabs, has become unrecognizable! Including a beautiful red-roofed wooden elf-style cottage next to it, they're all gone!
The smooth floor that was once inscribed with the circle has now turned into a pile of shattered and charred rubble, and the beautiful hut is gone! There, there were only a few charred wooden stakes buried deep in the dirt and a little smoke coming out of them......
At this moment, it should be a sunny afternoon, under the light of the sun, the golden oaks begin to reflect the golden light, and the beautiful city complements each other, it is the time for the High Elves to have a leisurely afternoon tea!
But now the sky was gray, and the air was filled with mist-like floating dust, which smelled like rusty metal, and it was disgusting!
Prince Kael'thas even felt a not weak residual of radiant energy in the air, and he didn't know why this was the case! Where does all this radiation dust come from? What about the huge mushroom cloud in the sky that hasn't dispersed yet?
And most importantly: who can tell him about Prince Kael'thas! Where is the magnificent, beautiful and luxurious magic capital of his home, the Silver Moon City of the High Elves? Under this teleportation array platform, why is there only a pile of broken eaves left in the original location of Silver Moon City? What's going on with that big pit in the middle of the city? Could it be that a big meteorite fell from the sky?
If it weren't for the comparison of the surrounding terrain that was burned beyond recognition, Kael'thas could have basically judged that this was indeed their Silvermoon City, and he would have almost thought that he had teleported to the wrong place!
"Why is this ......happening, it's only been a few days, what happened here in Quel'Thalas? What about the others? Father, what about them? ”
As if struck a huge blow, Kael'thas slumped to the ground, bowing his head and muttering, letting his beautiful blonde hair fall to the dirty ground. Now, his lips were a little trembling.
Just a few days ago, he had been in contact with his father in the palace of Silvermoon City, and in the magical communication, they chatted with each other about some interesting things that happened on both sides of Dalaran and Silvermoon City, and Prince Kael'thas was joking at the time, reporting on the great changes that had taken place in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and at that time, the father and son had repeatedly sighed and gloated, and they also laughed at the stupid royal family of Minethil in the newsletter, which had destroyed the mighty kingdom of Lordaeron overnight......
But now, look, retribution is coming! He Kael'thas came back today to see that their Quel'Salas turned out to be the same as the Kingdom of Lordaeron, in just a few days, and it was gone? Was it really the prophet that Gianna had touched? Is the Eastern Continent doomed to a dead world?
No one cared about Prince Kael'thas sitting on the ground anymore, and the few attendants next to him were now all more ugly than the other! They were looking around with a sad expression, and they didn't know why Silvermoon City had become the way it was!
Their home and their relatives are in Silvermoon City, but now? The entire Silvermoon City is gone, and the surrounding area has been burned to the ground! Not only the city, but even the tall and beautiful golden oak trees in the Yongge Forest have been burned away! Looking at the past now, it's all scorched earth......
"Who's over there? Who the hell is it! Undead? Or elves? ”
When Kael'thas and his entourage were in a panic and helpless, almost about to cry out in pain, in the distance, up and down the dusty hill, suddenly there was a loud question, and then, several feathered arrows shot from below, nailed directly to the ground in front of several people, if they dared not answer, the next round of arrow rain is probably aimed at their bodies!
"I'm Kael'thas ! Kael'thas ? The Sunchaser! Who are you? ”
Hearing someone in the distance, questioning himself and the others in the familiar and friendly Salas language, Kael'thas quickly stood up and replied loudly.
Since the other party is using the language of the High Elves, and has shot the special arrows of the High Elf Ranger, then, it must be his own person, he is desperate to find an elf who knows, he Kael'thas wants to know immediately, here in Silvermoon City, here in the Kingdom of Quel'Salas, what is going on?!
"His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas ?"
After hearing the reply, the group of about a dozen High Elves slowly approached the teleportation platform above from the dust and fog in the sky, each wearing goggles and covering their mouths and noses with thick numbness.
Today, after the explosion, the high-level mage Filendre took the initiative to ask Ying to follow a group of ten rangers to Silvermoon City to investigate the situation.
As a high-level mage, Ferendre knew all too well what an explosion of this magnitude meant! After learning that the explosion was caused by a special bomb dropped by Master Annie, he realized that it was probably some new type of magic weapon!
So, as a mage, of course, he had to find an opportunity to come here as soon as possible to study it well! Besides, after this big explosion, he didn't think that there were any undead here who could threaten them, and they were just scouting, in case they really ran into a large group of undead, just run away! There won't be any danger anyway!
At that time, after they received the order of the Ranger Lord Lotherma, when the explosion slowly subsided, the twenty or so of them set off in two groups, one of which was responsible for investigating the movements of the undead in the south of the Eternal Song Forest, and the group of Ferendre was responsible for investigating the vicinity of Silvermoon City.
When they got closer, after a simple reconnaissance, everything was as Ferendre had guessed, and there were no more active undead in and out of Silvermoon City! Presumably, they were all destroyed by the explosion of Silvermoon City, and the hundreds of thousands of undead who were still menacing in the morning have now all disappeared! There's no better news for the High Elves!
As the rangers dispersed to investigate, Ferendre also took a sample of the nearby soil and airborne dust. After a brief period of research, he soon discovered that these ups and downs actually contained strong radioactive energy, could it be that such a powerful weapon was made of radioactive magic materials? Therefore, when he was temporarily unclear, he hurriedly asked them to cover their faces with sackcloth and wear goggles to prevent further damage from the radioactive dust.
After observing the situation inside the ruins of Silvermoon City for a while, Filendre didn't dare to lead the rangers to walk in recklessly, he was a high-level elven mage, and inside Silvermoon City, especially near the big pit, was still emitting high temperatures and deadly radiation, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to lead the team in to find death!
Therefore, after making sure that the undead were basically wiped out, he planned to directly lead the team back to Darth Viser Bay, after all, the radiation on the periphery was still quite strong, and there was no need to continue to stay here.
But who would have thought that when they passed the path under a primitive teleportation circle outside the city, Filendre suddenly found that there was a fluctuation of teleportation on the circle that should have been blown up, so he hurriedly took the rangers to quietly touch it up to find out......
"It's really His Royal Highness the Prince! That's great! It's really you! ”
Vigilantly approaching Ferendre, after seeing the wool and clothing of several people on the ruins of the teleportation circle, he finally shouted happily! That's great! His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas of their Kingdom of Quel'Salas is back!
"Your Highness! It's me! I'm the High Mage Ferendre! You're finally back! Ferendre whimpered, ripped off his masked linen and goggles, and threw himself in front of Kael'thas and bowed half-time.
"Ferendre? Come on! No need to be polite! Get up! Now, be sure to let me know! Here, what's going on? "That's what Kael'thas desperately wants to know! As for Ferendre? He couldn't even remember such a person, and he had long forgotten that there was such a name!
"Your Highness, this has to start with the invasion of the undead, it's a long story, and I won't be able to explain it for a while, let's hurry back to Darth Viser Bay, our people are over there now, and Lord Sylvanas will tell you ......everything you want to know."
After putting on the goggles and covering his mouth and nose with a sackcloth again, Ferendre planned to take the Prince's Royal Highness on behalf of this terrible place first!
Now Ferendre was completely convinced of Sylvanas, and if she hadn't forcibly ordered all the citizens to prepare for evacuation as soon as she returned yesterday, he wouldn't have dared to imagine that he would be able to escape from the 200,000 people under the fangs and claws of the undead.
"Sylvanas? Isn't she a Ranger General? When did he become a duke? How is this possible? While Kael'thas was grieving, he suddenly felt that what had happened in Quel'Salas during this period of time was definitely beyond his imagination!
"Your Highness! Let's get out of here first and go back. You must have also discovered that the dust in the air here has a very lethal energy radiation, and if you inhale a large amount, I am afraid it will be troublesome! After all, we have too many wounded now, and the priests are almost too busy, and the radiation injury is very troublesome to treat without the help of the priests! ”
