Chapter XXXVIII: Alliances and quid pro quo
The Night Elves are equally clear about what is happening on the Eastern Kingdoms continent.
Since the departure of the High Elf adventurer, Boss Hu has ordered to regularly send elite ranger scouts to carry directional teleportation scrolls (disposable Hearthstone) across the ocean to the Eastern Kingdom Continent, scattered everywhere to act as eyes and ears, and inquire about important news.
For the strong rise of the human empire in Arathor, although the night elves on the other side of the ocean are also interested, it is no more.
The victory of the War of the Ancients, the favor of the gods of magic, and the eternal blessing of the guardian dragon king made the Night Elves feel superior.
For the mortal race, especially a young race as nascent as humans, they had the same thoughts as the High Elves, and deep down they were not considered a threat.
However, an incident happened that made the Night Elves decide to step in and officially end their life in the Dead House.
Those who have volunteered to be exiles, self-proclaimed Old Elf compatriots, whose kingdom of Quel'Salas is now under full assault by the Amani trolls.
Originally, the Big Four bosses of the Dark Night Council had a meeting and decided to continue to eat melons and watch dramas, and not to participate in the things on the continent on the other side of the Hehai Sea.
The High Elves of Darth Rema, they love to die, and they have nothing to do with us.
Then, naturally, it was the Emperor of Sarodar who jumped out and said: Go, why don't you go!
Besides, the High Elves are also compatriots, even if they are exiled forever, that can't change that, and now you don't save you when you die, and you are not ashamed!
Well, since Lord Shenzun has spoken, then there is nothing to say about this matter, just do it obediently.
The Night Elves made a decision and began to make unhurried preparations, while in the Eastern Kingdom Continent, the war over there was already a loud fight.
Amani's trolls burst out of the depths of the forest, raiding High Elf towns and facilities, and killing them all at every turn.
Even more terrifying, some of the trolls still haven't gotten rid of their habit of eating the corpses of their enemies, munching on elven hearts, believing that this will lead to greater power and the favor of the gods.
Well, the gods that the trolls worship are a group of animal gods that don't exist in this world at all, but they are real.
Some animal gods are brutal by nature, while others are mild, depending on which troll clan believes in which one.
For example, Haka, the blood god worshipped by the Hakale trolls, is completely an extremely brutal and ruthless animal god in another space.
Strictly speaking, the strength of this group of animal gods is higher than that of the wilderness demigods of Azeroth, but it is far lower than the Titans of the Pantheon, and their status has always been inferior.
However, the High Elves did not care about this at the moment, they were extremely angry at the atrocities of Amani Trolls, and Darth Rema led the elven troops to launch a full-scale counterattack against them, and at this moment, the southern region of the Yongsong Forest has become a fierce tug-of-war battlefield.
The battle situation was stalemate for a while, plus the number of elves was not as large as that of trolls, and the voodoo of the troll witch doctor was extremely strange and ferocious, so the overall situation began to turn downside, and the High Elves began to lose their frontline positions.
At this time, the Human Empire reached out to the High Elves.
Emperor Soladin expressed his willingness to send troops to the aid of Quel'Thalas, and to send the most elite legions to attack with all their might, not to play tricks.
However, the Emperor had only one condition, and that was that the High Elves would teach humans magic lessons.
As long as you agree, the huge army of the Arathas Empire will be immediately deployed, and it will be a voluntary part-time job, and there will be no benefit fee.
The High Elves also expected the request of Emperor Soladin, after all, human beings have always had this wish for a long time, and it has never changed.
The High Elves eventually agreed to Soladin the Great's request in exchange for much-needed reinforcements.
Soon, the first hundred High Elf mages set out for Fort Riptide in the Arathi Heights, where they would discover and teach the most gifted children of humanity, take them as their own magical apprentices, and then train them to become qualified mages.
Humans have a short lifespan and have not had any previous magical cultural heritage, so letting them learn the power of magic will not pose much of a threat to elves.
What's more, Quel'Thalas also left a hand, and he was ready to just teach humans to learn all kinds of basic war spells, and it would be enough to be a battle mage to fight on the front line, as for the more esoteric, the High Elves were naturally crossed out from the textbooks.
Almost half of the spells they had mastered now were castrated spells from the Well of Eternity, and the rest were new spells that they had developed on their own.
Such spells are quick to cast and easy to master, but not as powerful as the full version from the Well of Eternity period.
First, the times are different, and secondly, there is no luxury like before.
And what is ready to be taught to mankind is the castrated version of the castrated version, and the degree of shrinkage is simply the difference between the world and the beggar version and the top version.
But it turns out that the High Elves have not only looked away and decided that humans have no talent for studying magic, but that humans have proven themselves in the future, not only do they have a completely different magical talent than the elves, but they are also extremely good at innovation.
The first Arathor Empire legions are ready to march into Quel'Thalasas under the leadership of Imperial General Lordan to support the High Elves who are fighting the trolls there.
General Lordan was a trusted and beloved general of Emperor Soladin, and the Emperor even gave him the honorable surname Minethir.
And this war was commanded by him throughout the whole process, which is enough to show the importance of the Araso Empire.
The capital of the Araso Empire, Fort Riptide.
A hundred High Elf mages were greeted with great pomp, and Emperor Soladin himself attended the grand banquet.
At the banquet, the High Elves were extremely surprised to see another group of outsiders: the Night Elves.
Oh, the same hundred Upper Elves, to be exact, fifty Upper Elves, fifty Children of the Night.
This made the High Elves extremely puzzled, what kind of virtue their own people were, they still knew a lot about this, how could they become so nosy now.
And they thought that the upper elf group must have declined under the influence of mainstream consciousness, and then switched to the arms of the druids, but now looking at these fifty children of the night, it is clear that they have fully accepted the arcane transformation and have turned into the form of energy symbiotes, which is something that Quel'Salas would not dare to think of, and only exists in the experimental plans of the laboratories of various mages.
But then they found out.
On the high platform in the center of the banquet hall, a young man wearing a black robe with a huge rune disc floating behind him, and next to him was a two-meter-long stalk with a huge rune crystal inlaid on the top, four small crystals swirling around, and a gorgeous staff with unusually large energy fluctuations around his body.
At this moment, he was talking happily with Soladin the Great, and the proud Soladin was unusually respectful at this moment, like a courtier who spoke with the emperor.
Oh, that's not surprising ... Isn't that surprising?
