Chapter 67: The Oath of Redemption

When the Silver Crusade was founded, it was set on the mission that they would shelter any race or civilian who resisted the Scourge Legion. But there is a small loophole in this, that is, the purpose does not include other forces that already have a leadership mechanism.

This group of elven civilians who fled from Quel'Salas was not very large, probably only a few hundred. If it were just these people, Baron Tairosus would not hesitate to take them in. But when the baron heard that behind these elven civilians, there were thousands of elven refugees, and the one-eyed dragon finally began to consider whether to accept these elven refugees.

The Silver Northern Expeditionary Army had its own difficulties, the first of which was material. At present, the human kingdom in the northern continent of Lordaeron has all perished, leaving behind some similar semi-military forces. For example: the Silver Northern Expedition, the Scarlet Crusaders, and Fort Riptide. These forces themselves have weak production capacity, and can only be half peasant and half army, unable to support a large flow of refugees.

The second point is leadership. The Silver Crusade is ultimately an army that resists the Scourge Legion, and requires absolute obedience. The number of elven civilians is small, and they can digest it, but once the chapel takes in more than a certain number of elven civilians, it will inevitably produce a leader within the elves. So when the time comes, how should the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army deal with itself.

The third point is the contradiction between the humans and the High Elves of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. After the Second Orc War, the High Elves arrogantly withdrew from the Lordaeron Alliance, and Quel'Thalas chose to stand by and watch whether it was the Stotherol incident or Arthas's leading the Scourge to attack the kingdom of Lordaeron.

And now the high elves of the dead country have come to the Chapel of the Wish of Light, you must know that the vast majority of the people who maintain the Chapel are human civilians of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and the two will inevitably have a lot of conflicts in peacetime. This is also a difficult problem that Baron Tairosus must focus on.

Originally, Baron Tairosos was reluctant to go to Xu Mo on the issue of elven civilians. The stalker's cunning and cunning in "repairing equipment" made the Baron instinctively avoid involving him in such political matters.

However, after consulting with the three elven elders selected by the elven refugees, he found that there was really no way to bypass the leader of the old K mercenary group. These three elven elders are not only the leaders of the hundreds of elven civilians in front of them, they are also the representatives of the tens of thousands of high elves on the border of Quel'Salas.

There was only one disagreement between Baron Tairosus and the Elven Elders, and the Baron asked the Elven civilians not to gather all of them in the Chapel of Light's Wish, but to disperse to the Valley of the Hearth, the Eagle's Nest, the Hand of Tyr, the Riptide Castle, and even Dalaran. In this way, all the problems of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army will be solved.

However, if the elven civilians really did as Baron Tairosus said, they would scatter and ask for refuge among the remaining racial forces on the northern continent of Lordaeron. So how many elven civilians can be left on the long journey, not to mention for the time being, at least the high elves as a whole race will quietly perish.

Although the elven civilians were in dire need of help, the three elven elders would never agree to beg for help from other forces at the cost of racial annihilation.

In the midst of great loss and humiliation, they remembered the old leader of the K mercenary group that had been circulated in the mouths of elven civilians. The Captain of Cole is currently at the Chapel of the Light's Wishes, and they have heard that the Mercenary Captain has recently won a military victory for the Silver Crusade.

As a result, the elven elder immediately asked the baron noisily to see the head of Cole. When Xu Mo entered the headquarters and conference room of Baron Tairosos, he happened to see this scene like a vegetable market.

"Alright, Captain Cole is here, you can ask him for help!" The baron was a little annoyed by the three elven elders, and when he saw Xu Mo, he immediately gloated, "When you finish discussing with Captain Cole, I'll come over!" ”

Baron Tairosos left his office in a huff, in his opinion, no matter how capable Xu Mo was, he would not be able to solve the problem of elven refugees, and in the end, he still needed the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army to wipe the butts of these elves. However, he very much hoped that through Xu Mo's mouth, he would tell these elven civilians about the practical difficulties of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army, so as to provide substantial help for the next real solution to the flow of elven refugees.

However, Baron One-Eyed Dragon never expected that this happened to fall into Xu Mo's hands. The leader of the old K mercenary group, since he had taken great pains to stir up all the forces in the northern continent of Lordaeron, just to rescue thousands of elven civilians, how could he not arrange a follow-up.

If Xu Mo was still only on paper about his plan during the secret discussion of the Saldo Bridge, then after so many days of intelligence gathering, he had thoroughly perfected the next steps of the plan, and used the only few people in the old K regiment to make follow-up arrangements.

"Dear Captain Cole!" The three elven elders came up one after another to salute solemnly, for these down-and-out elves, the mercenary leader in front of him was an out-and-out elven benefactor.

Xu Mo smiled and accepted the Elven Elder's thanks, and in the conversation with the Elf, he quickly learned about the differences between the Elven Elder and the Baron. couldn't help but shout lucky, in fact, in Xu Mo's plan, the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army was a threshold that could not be bypassed, and he never thought that he could get all the elven civilians.

But what he didn't expect was that Baron Tairosus would actually put forward a proposal to exterminate the High Elves, pushing all the elf refugees into Xu Mo's arms. Obviously, the leader of Tirio Fortin, who remained in the Chapel of the Wish of Light, can be described as a political idiot in other respects, except for his outstanding military talents.

Since Baron Tairosos couldn't figure out the reason for the Elven Elder's anger, Xu Mo naturally wouldn't try to resolve the misunderstanding between the two. The leader of the old K mercenary group immediately explained the plans and arrangements he had made in the past few days to the three elven elders......

After listening to Xu Mo's plan, the three elven elders immediately looked at each other and fell into deep thought. The mercenary captain did show them a way out, but it was a thorny path. If the elven civilians evacuated from Quel'Thalas really embarked on this path, then it is foreseeable that the High Elves will have to sacrifice countless lives in the future.

Xu Mo looked at these elven elders with cold eyes, and the hesitation and embarrassment on the elves' faces were visible at a glance. Unlike Tairosus, although these elven elders are not nobles of Silvermoon City, the elves' long life also gives them a wealth of experience and wisdom.

"You have to think clearly, the Silver Crusade is an army that wants to help the elven refugees, but it is impossible to allow the Chapel of Light's Wish to become a second kingdom for the elves. Although my suggestion will cost countless High Elves their lives in the future, the High Elves are still a race, and they still have hope of recovering their country! ”

Xu Mo said lightly with cold words, "What's more, Quel'Thalas's arrogant decision to withdraw from the alliance has not yet been forgiven by the major alliance forces on the continent. You are dead, and if you still refuse to abandon the boring arrogance and selfishness of the High Elves and make sacrifices, do you still want to count on the other races of Lordaeron to help you recover your country? ”

The three elven elders shook their bodies at the same time, and quickly realized that the current high elves no longer had the lofty status they had before, they were just a bunch of refugees and slaves who had lost their country. Thinking back to Baron Tyrosos' suggestion just now, which was almost equivalent to exterminating the High Elves, they finally made a decision.

"As long as you can save the elven civilians, as long as you can preserve the hope of recovering the country, Aaron Sunstrider (Herrion Silverlight, Sarina Mingyi) hereby swears that all elven refugees will obey your orders!" The three elven elders finally lowered their arrogant heads and knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Mo.

Xu Mo raised his head and looked through the humble window silently at the starry sky that was gradually dimming outside the window. He knew that his plan had achieved the most critical step and laid the foundation for the entire strategic layout. No matter what happens, his plan will rumble forward like a train full of coal, and no one can stop it.

This ordinary day in the Chapel of the Wish of Light will be known in future elven history books as the "Redemption of Sindore". On this day, the three elven elders of the High Elves and the legendary stalker leader of the old K mercenary group, the epic hero Cole, agreed on a "vow of redemption".

When Baron Tairosus returned to his office again, he was surprised to find that the three elven elders had lost their previous excited expressions, and their flat expressions had become more determined, as if they had made a major decision. The one-eyed dragon vaguely sensed that he had made a big mistake, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Baron Tyrosos, after my discussion with the three elders, we feel that the Silver Northern Expedition is indeed in great difficulty if it wants to help all the elven refugees. Therefore, we have decided to leave the Chapel of the Light's Wish and simply ask Baron Tyrosus to provide some tents and food for the hundreds of elven refugees at present! Xu Mo smiled and said something that the baron couldn't believe.

"This ...... Of course! It's just that...... Where are you going? The baron asked with difficulty as his eyes widened.

Although the departure of the elven refugees solved the problem of the Silver Northern Expedition, Baron Tairosus felt that it was unacceptable. After all, the Silver Crusade was created to eliminate the Scourge and the Lich King, as well as to unite and help all races enslaved by the Scourge Legion, especially their civilians.

"We're going to Death Rift and Poison Glades!" Xu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said the whereabouts of the elf refugees flatly.

"What!" Baron Tyrosus rose from his chair in shock, and with an abrupt gesture overturned the chair beneath him.
