Chapter 464: Clumsy Love
Along with the arrival of winter is a cold snap from the Northrend continent, and the first snow of winter is fluttering on the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom continent. Fortunately www.biquge.info because of the unique hobby of the Titans, the mountains on the continent cut off patches of areas, but prevented the temperature from plummeting.
The majestic royal capital of Lordaeron, with snowflakes flying, could not reduce the joyful and celebratory atmosphere. Flags of celebrations and festivals were hung all over the city, and the flags of the countries of the alliance were hunted and danced in the cold wind, standing out in the snow.
Many of the citizens of the royal capital braved the snow to celebrate the victory in the various squares, and the taverns and other places were full of people. Although the alliance also suffered heavy losses, I don't know how many people lost their husbands, sons or brothers, but they won after all, didn't they? Not having to be used as slaves or even food by those filthy green-skinned monsters, the feeling of the aftermath is especially strong for the people of Lordaeron's royal capital.
And it is not shy to say that as residents of the royal capital, they are all middle and upper classes in this country, except for a few children who joined the army because of honor, most of them only supported the war from other aspects, and the feeling of bereavement was not great.
At this time, they also don't want to talk about those who died for the sake of the alliance. After all, the dead are gone, and people have to move on with the rest of their lives, right? What's more, it is said that the soldiers who died will receive the greatest amount of compensation. And those who should have mourned have already been silent.
Just the day before yesterday, under the leadership of the leader of the Alliance, His Majesty Terenus of Lordaeron, the entire nation of the Alliance mourned together, and although the main object of the mourning was Marshal Anduinlosa, there were also people who died fighting against the Horde.
Not to mention on the planet Azeroth, even in the modern era of Earth, it is impossible for marshals and creeps to enjoy the same treatment. It's good to be remembered by those big people and promise to covet a heavy pension. As an ordinary person, how can you be more demanding.
After all, ordinary people in this world do not have such a high consciousness, and the reason why they are soldiers is that only a few people really have the idea of protecting their families and defending the country. It's more just because the nobles ask for military service, in order to be able to be tax-free, in order to be able to earn more food.
As for those knights who were mostly born into the middle and upper classes, they had honors, had a better family base, had higher pensions, and could not ask for more. Compared with those illiterate peasants, they still understand some truths about the existence of the country without a home.
On the spacious streets, the sheriff and his subordinates ordered the people to sweep the streets. From time to time, a group of knights or carriages drove from the cleaned streets to the palace. In the tavern on the street, there are people who analyze which country each other is from according to the flag, badge, and even body type.
Although the war is not completely over, it is impossible for the tribe to turn around, at this time those orcs only cared about fleeing, after the previous few organized counterattacks were easily defeated, they completely lost their morale, swarmed to flee to the dark door, and even those arrogant, rude and tenacious orcs began to surrender.
From here, it can be seen that this war has come to an end. But there are still many things to deal with next, such as the handling of orc captives, and whether to counterattack the orc world, as well as the compensation of the damaged countries of the alliance, and the handling of the defected countries, etc.
There are countless things in Lin Lin, and they are not a family matter, so the high-level leaders of various countries and races have gathered in the capital of Lordaeron to discuss.
In the royal palace, the high-level officials from various countries and forces were not idle, and before the official meeting was held, they were all in series, wanting to determine some affairs first, so that their respective countries could get more benefits, and even go through the wind in advance to confirm the ideas of all parties to ensure that the meeting went smoothly.
As some of the army's high-ranking officials, with the assistance of Mage Dalaran, rushed back to the royal capital of Lordaeron through teleportation, this act of ventilation reached its peak after King Terenas announced that the meeting would officially begin tomorrow.
Among them, Deathwing Nesario, who is incarnated as Lord Presto, is particularly active, and after the kingdom of Alterac allowed the tribe to pass through the valley of Alterac unhindered due to fear of loss, there is no doubt that Alterac became a traitor. King Perinord's family will be punished.
What Lord Presto wanted, many people understood, was nothing more than an exchange of interests at this time. It's just that after a hard day's work during the day, this Lord of Presto should have continued to connect at night to ensure that his wish was fulfilled, but the inexplicable anxiety made him restless in his room, and he didn't continue to act.
In the middle of the night, the palace of Lordaeron gradually quieted down, and in the night, only the figures of the guards were gradually left. A tall figure wandered in the night at this time, although she did not deliberately dodge, but because of her special talent, many guards ignored her inexplicably.
Before coming to a garden in the palace, there was no shelter, and the tall figure appeared in the moonlight, with a tall and vigorous figure, as well as a delicate and picturesque face, and a fresh and pure temperament like a mountain spring, which is the High Elf Aurelia Windwalker who is now very popular among the Alliance army.
It is a matter of course that such a beautiful and powerful woman will be loved and supported by her comrades-in-arms and even other families. What's more, this high elf came to support in accordance with the covenant, and took care of her subordinates in the war, and in the eyes of many people, she was like a Valkyrie.
Shredded snowflakes fluttered, reflecting the magic lights everywhere, and they looked particularly bright under the gloomy sky. Aurelia looked up, her eyes a little misty, and the snowflakes fell on her face, cold and wet. With a long exhale, Aurelia still had a faint sadness on her face.
The coldness of the snowflakes calmed Aurelia's restless mood a little, and she didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since the higher-ups ordered them to return to the royal capital of Lordaeron through teleportation magic with the cooperation of the mage, she had been depressed.
Aurelia knew she didn't want to come back for a meeting, even if it seemed so necessary. But in Aurelia's eyes, there was little need for her. She had only come in accordance with the Covenant and had not thought about what she had to gain from this war.
The people who came and went in tandem gave her a smell that she hated very much, and that was bureaucracy. That's the last thing that elves who like nature and freedom like the least like. This is true not only of humans, but also of the High Elves today.
I don't know when the Silver Moon Council began, and it has become so bureaucratic, prevaricating and slow to pursue fame and fortune, and so on. If it weren't for that, maybe the Windranger family wouldn't have come to this point. There weren't as many rangers who died under the orcs' tomahawks and forest fires.
Is it because of the sacrifices of his family and colleagues that he has complained about the Silver Moon Council and even the top of the alliance? Aurelia thought earnestly. Perhaps, after all, some tragedies could have been avoided, but the losses were magnified because of their own people.
No matter how abrupt and incredible the orc's attack on the Silvermoon Forest was, no matter how powerful the orcs were. However, Aurelia believed that the Ranger force she left behind must have found a trace, but due to the slow response of the Silvermoon Council, the Ranger force did not have time to support and evacuate.
Also, Marshal Anduinlosa, who commanded the Alliance forces, no matter how noble his character was, no matter how strong he was, but there was no doubt that he lost to Orc, the Great Chief Orc, and was led by Orgrim's nose. If the movements of the orcs can be discovered, the alliance's losses will not be so great!
These were the thoughts that crossed Aurelia's mind, even though they made her feel a little guilty and felt like she was shirking her responsibilities.
But is this really passing the buck? Aurelia was a little confused, and her heart became more and more restless.
She was also uncertain about the future, and the orcs ruined her family and killed her parents. Now that the Alliance has defeated the Horde, and she has killed countless orcs, is that revenge? But she didn't feel the slightest sense of relief, after all, her parents would never come back.
Do you want to exterminate the orcs? Isn't that a way to make you more comfortable? Even if she can't wipe out the orcs on her own, she still has to rely on the power of the alliance. Thinking about this, Aurelia became more and more depressed.
Take a few deep breaths and try to calm down. Aurelia pondered as she seemed to be in a restless mood tonight, not just because of these, but for other reasons. It seems to be a bad premonition, and Aurelia still trusts her instincts. But where does this uneasiness come from?
Suddenly, Aurelia turned her head and looked around the corner. Even in the dim environment, it does not affect her special vision at all. Seeing the person who came, Aurelia's eyes softened as if she were an arrow, but she didn't say anything, still looking up at the snowy sky, and the Valkyrie rarely showed a delicate aura. No matter how strong she is, she still has her own limits, and being strong does not mean that grief disappears.
A tall figure walked out of the corner, and the distant light reflected the person's image. Tall and strong, even if it was late at night, he was still wearing plate armor, but he didn't wear a helmet. The blonde hair is a little messy, and the angular face is full of determination. This is Turayan, the man who took over as Marshal of the Union after the death of Lothar. Born in a middle-class family, he was able to become the marshal of the alliance, and he has obviously reached the peak of his life.
Tulayan, who was resolute and resolute in both combat and command, seemed to have returned to his youth at this time, his mouth opened and closed several times, and his voice trembled and asked:
"Why don't you sleep yet? I think your parents would be relieved to see the victory of the alliance and see your growth. They don't want you to be sad. ”
After such a long time of training, although he stumbled, the care experience was very clear, and what was even clearer was the love in his eyes, which was extremely hot. Aurelia couldn't help but burn her cheeks slightly, and she turned her head away from Tulayan.
Aurelia knew Tulayan's affection for her, and even many people knew it. Aurelia also has a good impression of this man from an ordinary background, but he works hard. The other party's bravery and tenacity are all qualities that make her heart break. But Tulayan didn't really show his love, and Aurelia was still in the way.
It's not because Tulayan is human, and there is a huge lifespan gap between him and the High Elves. But because of others, on the one hand, Aurelia felt that she still needed to take care of her two younger sisters, and it was impossible for her to leave the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and on the other hand, she was a little angry with Anduinlosa, and as Anduinlosa's most valued disciple and successor, Aurelia also had some knots in her heart.
But it is undeniable that under Tulayang's clumsy but sincere care, the knot is slowly melting. "I don't know why, I had a bad premonition after seeing the Red Dragon Queen and that mysterious human a few days ago, and tonight this premonition is especially strong......," Aurelia frowned slightly.
"The dragons, as proud as they are, have little interest in the world. I heard that they guard the entire planet of Azeroth. Isn't it a bad guy who can stand with them? ”
Tulayan has been fighting alongside Aurelia for so long, and he doesn't dare to ignore her instincts.
"We can't control what the future holds, we can only do our best to defend our homeland and country, no matter what the outcome is, at least with a clear conscience."
Tulayan's words are resounding, and although there is no solution, the boldness and determination are extraordinarily powerful. Aurelia looked at Tulayan, causing his rough cheeks to flush slightly, and said softly:
"You're right, we'll just do our best."
The two didn't say anything more, Aurelia quietly looked at the snowflakes flying in the air, and Tula Yang looked at her quietly, the two of them silent but not embarrassed.
The next morning, the bell wakes up the sleeping city, and the people start to busy eating. In the royal palace, the high-ranking people of various countries and the high-ranking military gathered in the specially built hall of the royal palace, which was a large hall for the alliance.
The hall is shaped like a round table, with a row of chairs for each nation and race, headed by Lordaeron, the leader of the Alliance. The seven kingdoms of the human race, except for Gilneth, who did not participate in the alliance's war, the remaining six kingdoms are all involved. Of course, the betrayal was already certain for Alterac. At this time, Alterac's seat was occupied by Lord Presto.
Dwarves, gnomes, and high elves also sat throughout the hall.
King Terenus was a qualified and even distinguished man of state and states, and the meeting went smoothly under his advance preparation and chairmanship, first mourning the casualties and then celebrating the difficult victory.
After once again publicizing Anduinrosa's exploits, the first topic was to help the House of Wryon rebuild the kingdom of Azeroth...... (To be continued.) )
