Walking out of the headquarters of Tairossos, the sky was already completely dark, Xu Mo looked up at the starry night sky, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists tightly. The success of his dealings with the elves was due in large part to the mistakes of Tyrosus.

From the point of view of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army alone, Baron Tairossos has done a good enough job. Accept the current elven refugees, and use the relationship of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Force to help the subsequent elven refugees ask for help from other forces in the northern continent of Lordaeron.

However, this is not enough for the elven civilians, even after experiencing the death of the country, these high elves still do not get rid of the stubborn tsundere habit from their bones, they want to live with dignity.

Tairosus' suggestion was a humiliation for the High Elves, and coupled with the potential extinction crisis, it was destined that these High Elves, who had not yet reached the end of the mountain, would not consider this suggestion.

In addition to this, Baron Terosus apparently did not take into account the difference between elven civilians and human civilians. Once human civilians leave their homeland, they lose the basic conditions for survival. Without force and a continuous source of food, under the pressure of hunger and cold, we are destined to be sent to the fence and rely on people to breathe. All hopes for national restoration and national righteousness must give way to basic survival.

However, the elven civilians are different, and the elves' long life has allowed most of them to master certain fighting qi martial arts and magic. Although elves are generally thin and slender, they have a stronger physique than humans. In addition, most elves like to be close to nature and can adapt to the wild environment better than humans.

In addition, the most important thing is food and protective weapons. Human civilians flee in an emergency, they generally carry precious metals and small amounts of food, and when they are eaten and used up, they are completely a burden on the superiors until they really settle down.

Elven civilians, on the other hand, flee in case of emergency, carrying with them a small amount of food, as well as a more practical substance than precious metals - a variety of plant seeds. Some of these seeds are the seeds of the homestead trees where they live; Some are tree and vine seeds that can be used as fences to defend against wild beasts; And, of course, a variety of fruit seeds that are the main food of the elves.

It was because of the misuse of magic that the High Elves were expelled from the continent of Kadolim by the Night Elves. Perhaps there are not a large number of high-level magicians among these elven civilians, but most of them are able to use magical energy to quickly ripen these seeds and rebuild their homes at a speed that humans can't imagine.

The Death Rift and the Toxic Woodlands also contain remnants of the undead plague, which is a deadly threat to humans. However, for elves, it is nothing. Flames can cleanse the air of viruses, fast-ripening plants can absorb toxins from the soil, and elven civilians close to nature are adept at concocting potions and using life magic to save poisoned people.

The Death Rift was originally the headquarters of the Knights of the Black Blade, and although the Death Knights had all withdrawn, there were still a lot of basic buildings left in the camp, plus the dilapidated houses in the human village below the hillside, which was enough to house the first few groups of fleeing elven civilians.

In addition, Max in the Knights of the Black Blade, as well as Sasarian and Kurdila, who had just been rescued by Xu Mo, could all contribute to the Knights of the Black Blade to provide a small amount of weapons and tents to the elven civilians. Later, the elves could use the mines to get metal, and the lumberyards to get wood, and make rudimentary weapons and bows and arrows.

Therefore, as long as the elven refugees are provided with a batch of food and weapons in the early stage, the elves themselves can use the seeds they carry, as well as the mines and lumberyards next to the village to support themselves. Next, as long as they are willing to make great sacrifices, they are fully capable of clearing the poisonous woodland, truly winning themselves a paradise of survival, and waiting for the time to return to Quel'Salas and restore the country.

However, the number of elven refugees was too large, and although Xu Mo only needed to supply them with food and materials in the early stage, he also had to rely on the assistance of other forces in the northern continent of Lordaeron. Therefore, Xu Mo asked the three elven elders to leave messengers to transmit messages to the various alliance forces.

In the mouth of the elven elder, Xu Mo had learned that all the members of the Eagle's Nest Castle had launched to rescue the elven village of Quel'Salas. Then let the Brute Hammer Dwarf take out a little backup material, and I believe the dwarf will not refuse. Therefore, Xu Mo instructed the elven messenger who went to the Eagle's Nest Castle to ask him for more weapons, after all, dwarves are natural blacksmiths, and there may be a shortage of food, but there will be no shortage of weapons.

The second elven messenger, Xu Mo asked him to go to Dalaran, although the Mage Council only sent a group of battle mages to Quel'Thalas, and there was no movement from behind. But Xu Mo still believed that while the Scourge Legion had not returned to the Plague Land now, they should not refuse to let the wealthy mages send a batch of food and magic props to the former magic teachers.

The next few messengers were sent by Xu Mo to the Valley of the Hearth, the Hand of Tyr, and Fort Riptide. For these human forces, Xu Mo didn't have any expectations, he just had the idea of how much he could get, and just tried it casually.

As the elven refugees were in full swing and began to rebuild their homes in the rift of death and human villages, Xu Mo ate and waited for death in the Chapel of the Wish of Light every day, without leaving the room for half a step. Even if you go out for a stroll, you have to bring a few Cerna with you, or simply let the three elven elders accompany you.

"Mistress Cole, you seem to be very worried about your safety, is it because the Silver Crusade is trying to turn against you?" Finally, one day, Aaronnis, one of the three elven elders, couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm worried about some mean, cunning old lizard!" Xu Mo sighed helplessly, and told him about his previous deception of Deathwing, "It's been a few days, and that old black dragon should have returned from Grimbaatar." He can take on the form of a human or an elf, I can't be careless! ”

"You...... You're really ...... It's powerful! Alonnis was stunned and didn't know what to say, and finally held back a sentence after holding back for a long time.

"Are you sarcastic?" Xu Mo turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the elven elder.

"Huh? Yes...... No! Aaronis laughed dryly twice, thinking that no matter how despicable and cunning the Black Dragon King was, he probably wouldn't be as bold and brazen as the mercenary leader in front of him.

The elven refugees who had retreated from the border of Quel'Salas entered the Chapel of the Wish of Light one after another. Under the arrangement of the elven elders, the death rift and the village below were slowly filled. During this period of time, the two official members of the old K group, as well as Li Ze and Hong Jian, both received a lot of small tasks from the elven elders, but they were busy and gained a lot of fame and mission benefits.

Seeing that the rift of death and the village began to be overcrowded, Xu Mo duly summoned the three elven elders and asked them to send some powerful rangers to start an investigation of the poisonous woodland. At the same time, Xu Mo asked them to recruit elven civilians with strong combat ability among the elven civilians, form an elven advance team of hundreds of people, and begin to gradually clean up the undead in the highly poisonous woodland.

During the formation of the elven advance team, Xu Mo demanded that these elven warriors must come to the chapel and pass the test of their combat skills. Xu Mo did this, on the one hand, by using various Azeroth combat classes such as magician, arcanist, warrior, knight, and stalker among the elven civilians to familiarize himself with his newly acquired stalker professional skills such as stealth, chiseling, void flash, and shadow dance.

On the other hand, Xu Mo hoped to subtly influence this elven advance team by teaching elves and showing his strength, and deeply imprint himself among them. Obviously, at this time, even if an elf felt a little strange, he would not refuse Xu Mo's help.

The undead of the Poison Glades are numerous, the few cave demons and cursed wizards are strong, and the elven advance team is making slow progress, with a large number of casualties almost every day.

However, this situation was originally expected by everyone, and with the support of the life and death of the race and the ideal of restoration, the elven civilians showed a great spirit of sacrifice. The elven advance team was disabled once, and they used their relatives and children to complete the team. It can be said that under every inch of the poisonous woodland that can be safely moved, there are buried bones of elven civilians.

Under Xu Mo's strict requirements, the elven advance team, which was composed entirely of civilians, gradually showed a sharp edge like a sword being tempered, and slowly had tacit cooperation and a brave military style.

At this time, the other members of the old K group still didn't understand that Xu Mo had been planning the strategic layout since the secret discussion of the Saldo Bridge. At the beginning of the world of Azeroth, because of the strategic layout of Black-Eyed Lot, in fact, there was a big gap between the old K group and the Black Widow team in terms of plot power.

Because of this, Xu Mo began to form his own plot force in a targeted manner after understanding the layout of the black-eyed Lute. Xu Mo didn't set his sights on the elven civilians at the beginning, if the Scarlet Crusaders were destroyed by the Scourge, he would find a way to use Brigitte to control a part of the Scarlet Warriors.

If it was Dalaran, he would use the prestige of Ronin, the Eagle's Nest, and then the dwarven genius girl Amira would be his gimmick. Compared to the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Crusade with a stable leadership structure, the elven civilians are a more ideal plot force.

Elven civilians generally possess force, and as long as they are given a certain amount of time to hone their skills, they will not be able to form a large army, but they will be enough to form an elite squad.

Forests burn down, homes are in ruins, and works of art are turned into garbage by the undead. As soon as these dispossessed elven civilians awaken from their fears, they will turn into vengeful angels in their grief and rage, and they will not hesitate to go into battle with their lives, declaring war on the Scourge with their bows and arrows and blades.

Xu Mo's original idea was to control a part of the elven civilians through Wen Leisha, an elven ranger with a prominent family. But Baron Tairosus's mistake allowed him to completely grasp all the elven refugees. Even without Wen Leisha now, Xu Mo believed that he could also master this elven armed force.

As long as he gives the elves a glimmer of hope for survival and recovery, these elven warriors will obey Xu Mo and become the sharpest bayonet in his hand, eradicating all the enemies in front of him for him. The existence of the death rift and the highly toxic woodland became the last piece of the puzzle in Xu Mo's strategic layout. Now, for him, everything is ready, and only one time is missing to send troops.

On the eighth day of the elven advance team clearing the poisonous woodland, the Chapel of Light's Wish welcomed the other members of the Old K Mercenary Regiment, and brought great information that shocked everyone.
