Pedal Pedal Pedal ......

There was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and soon they came to the door.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Du Teng sat behind his desk and said without raising his head.

The door opened, and an armored guard entered.

"Your Highness, urgent report from the Silver Pine Forest!"

The guard said, holding a scroll in his hand, kneeling on one knee.

"Bring it."

Only then did Du Teng raise his head and look at the other party.

"Yes!"

The guard got up, walked up to Du Teng, and put the information beside him.

"Okay, it's nothing to do with you, you can ......" Du Teng was just about to speak, when suddenly he smelled a bad smell between his noses, although it was not obvious. This is where he works and reads, and he likes to light some incense while working, so the smell in the room is good.

Now there is a strange smell that suddenly appears, and there is no need to think about it, it is also related to this guard. And this smell Du Teng smelled more than once, he knew, it was the smell of corpses.

He subconsciously looked up, and when he saw it, it was a sharp knife.

Boom!

The sharp knife stabbed into the wooden tabletop, and the table smashed all over the guard.

By the time the guards outside the door heard the movement and rushed in, Du Teng had already subdued the guards in his room. In fact, it is not a guard, but an undead who uses magical fantasies, commonly known as the Forsaken.

"Hehe, a bunch of bone dregs, but the courage is getting bigger and bigger. I left you alone before, I just think that you are also a group of poor people, I have no problem with you joining the tribe, but you actually want to sneak attack me, hehe, what a big boldness, do you think that you can hurt me with your ability to embroider your fists and legs? ”

Du Teng looked at each other with a sneer.

At this time, the magic illusion on the other party's body had been broken, and a rotten face appeared in front of everyone.

A look of disgust flashed across the faces of the guards who rushed in, and they held their swords and shields, and looked at the undead on the ground with a wary expression.

"Ho ho, of course we don't think we can succeed in the sneak attack, in fact, I am just an insignificant pawn, and my mission is just to distract you, now that the mission is complete, the whole of Gilneth will soon become a paradise for the undead, and you will also become a part of the undead!"

The "monster" on the ground, let's call it a monster, the dead come back to life, and they can think and live like the living, what is not a monster?

The monster sneered, and broke off his right forearm, and in the arm bone, a small white bottle slowly rolled down. As soon as the small bottle hit the ground, it shattered, and in the next second, the incomparably huge power of holy light exploded.

The top part of the tower where Du Teng was located exploded in an instant, like a small sun, so bright in the night sky that even the green barrels that kept falling around it were not as eye-catching.

Almost as soon as the holy light erupted, Du Teng and several guards outside the door disappeared from the spot, and when they reappeared, they had already come to a rooftop dozens of meters away.

Putting the wand away, Duten noticed that in just a second, the entire outer walls of Gilneth had been engulfed in flames.

Countless green barrels rose from outside the city walls and fell into the city of Gilneth in a huge arc through the air. Although the defenders tried to intercept them as best they could, there were always fish that slipped through the net. When the barrel hits the ground, it explodes, filling it with a green liquid, which quickly evaporates and turns into a green mist that fills the surroundings. Moreover, even those barrels that are intercepted in the air will have a green liquid falling after they explode.

Du Teng looked at these things, his brow furrowed.

It's either venom or plague potion, these guys are really bold.

Ordering his own guards to convey the order, Du Teng walked alone in the direction of the city wall.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's a plague, there are a lot of priests in Gilneth City, and he has been increasing the training of priests and magicians over the years, although the number of priests is not comparable to that of Stormwind City, but it is enough to dispel all these plagues. It's just that if the priest is all used to dispel the plague and toxins, the wounded will be left unhealed, and the defenders' defensive ability will be reduced due to the lack of healing after the undead attack.

After all, do you still have to do it myself?

Actually, Gilneth is not incapable of blocking the attack of the undead, but it will cost a lot since then, and don't look at Gilneth is now the leader of the alliance, but this leader is more because they have led the alliance to fight against demons, and because of their high reputation, they are currently recognized by others.

But the actual power, Gilneth may not be able to compare to Stormwind City.

In the final analysis, it was the previous policy of seclusion and seclusion that had allowed the country to be comfortable for too long. The result of comfort is a serious lack of combat effectiveness, and if there is no external invasion, then there is naturally no problem. But once it encounters a strong enemy, the country can't hold out for long.

In this life, because of Du Teng's relationship, the werewolf's toxin did not spread in Gilneys, so after losing the huge help of the werewolf, even if Du Teng has worked hard to develop the country's strength, but after all, the time is still too short, even with the help of allies, Gilnis's combat effectiveness is still a little stretched.

In the face of the sudden attack of the undead, although the guards on the city wall have done a good job, what can be met is that if the battle continues, the living people who are relatively poor in resistance to various external forces may not be able to stop those undead.

Otherwise, the Undead Scourge would not have plunged most of the continent into war.

Du Teng thought solemnly, when necessary, he was afraid that he would have to make a move, otherwise, these guys would be very difficult to deal with.

He was right, however, events had clearly turned out more than he had expected.

Just as he walked up to the city wall, ready to fight back, a huge holy light suddenly exploded in the army of the undead below, and hundreds of undead instantly dissipated in this holy light.

It's von Delauer!

It's a blood elf!

In the distance, the troops of the Blood Elves slowly appeared, and even at night, the constant flickering magical light of this team was clearly visible. On the city walls, Gilneys' soldiers cheered, while the undead below changed color, and they quickly retreated towards the shoreline, and no one stopped them, and soon let the fellows go.

The gates of Gilneth opened, and the priests and soldiers went out to clear the battlefield, while Duten walked down the walls to meet the Blood Elves' troops near the gates.

The Blood Elves had set out three days earlier, passing through the East and West Plague Lands, through Lordaeron and the Silver Pine Forests, and finally arriving at the city of Gilneth at the most opportune time.

They came, originally there were other things to discuss with Duten and Gilneys, but they didn't expect to encounter the undead attacking Gilnes, von Delors as the most powerful priest in Silvermoon City, the holy light magic is naturally not used to brag, that huge pillar of light is enough to explain the problem.

Von Delors is here, Liadline is here, Lothmar is here, and Sylvanas is coming.

Sylvanas is the leader of this team, and although Lotherma is currently the leader of the Council of Silvermoon City, it is Sylvanas who supports him in this position. After all, the Windranger forces need Sylvanas' management, and she doesn't have time to manage the entire Silvermoon City, so the position of council leader is given to her lieutenant, but in fact, in terms of prestige and power, Sylvanas is higher.

She was now basically the supreme leader of the Blood Elves.

When the two sides meet, it is naturally a set of greetings.

After greetings, Duten led the Blood Elves into the city of Gilneth. Although it was late at night, the previous battle still woke the city up, and now countless people saw the blood elves, because the two sides have a common fighting origin, so the people of Gilneys burst into enthusiastic cheers for the arrival of the blood elves.

When the blood elves' team entered Gilneth, the first thing they did was naturally to settle them to rest.

The normal blood elves were sent to the camp, where there were enough barracks to accommodate the men. In fact, there are not many blood elves who come, and there are only about a hundred or so people when they are full, but the number of masters is very large.

Sylvanas, Von Delors, Liadrin, Lotherma, Duharen...... Basically, everyone else who has a good relationship with Duten is here except Romans.

And the purpose of their coming here is also very clear, that is, to discuss the future of the blood elves.

Blood Elves and Night Elves, or High Elves and Night Elves, although they are in the same vein, they still have a very big contradiction with each other.

The Night Elves believe in the ways of nature, and they believe that the World Tree is the most important thing in the world. The upper elves believe in the way of magic, and the ancient high elves have the Well of Eternity as their core.

As a result, the Well of Eternity attracted the Burning Legion, and all of Azeroth was exposed to the eyes of the fallen Titan Sargeras, sparking endless disputes.

How did the orcs get here? Isn't the true source of this the High Elves' misuse of magic?

So if you want to talk about the development of the plot line of Azeroth, the most important culprit, the High Elves must definitely take a share of the credit in it.

After the first Burning Legion invasion, the continent of Azeroth fell apart, and the Night Elves hated their own people and imprisoned them. The High Elves, of course, couldn't bear it, so they chose to go into self-imposed exile.

Then there was Silvermoon City, then there was Quel'Thalas, there was Sindore, who used magic, and then ...... In fact, there is no need to say much, in a word, after such a long history, there is only hatred between the night elves and the blood elves.

There is no love!

So when Du Teng wanted to include the Night Elves and the Blood Elves into the alliance camp at the same time, I didn't know what the Night Elves had in mind, but on the Blood Elves side, there was already a lot of dissatisfaction.

Yes, Gilneth has helped Quel'Salas a lot, and Sindore is grateful for his help. However, without the Night Elves, they would be a very loyal ally of Gilnes. It's a pity that now that the Night Elves have joined in, they can't bear it.

Sindore's idea is simple, there is no other with me, either the Night Elf or the Blood Elf, Duten, one must be chosen.

This, I believe that the Night Elves also think so, but they are now busy fighting the nascent tribes in the Ashen Valley region, and the battle is quite fierce, so they can't bother to send people over for the time being...... Well, it is possible that the ambassador is already on the way, but in the final analysis, it is still a sentence, Duten and Gilnes, you must choose one of the two.

This...... It's a very difficult choice.

How to choose the Blood Elves? What to do on the Night Elves' side, he can't sit idly by and watch the Night be wiped out by the tribe, and the other races and kingdoms in the Alliance, because of the hatred between them and the Orcs, they are also more inclined to the Night Elves.

On the contrary, it is the blood elves, or because of their dark history, so other races are not particularly welcome to them.

But if you choose the Night Elves, the Blood Elves will become the biggest nail in the tribe here. In such a race where all the people are mages, if you don't get it right, you will become a terrifying enemy.

Especially now, Gilneth has taken all the apprentices who originally belonged to the kingdom of Lordaeron and the kingdom of Oakrant, as well as the destroyed Arathi Empire, as his own. In other words, the East and West Plaguelands, the Silver Pine Forest, the Hillsbrad Hills, and the Hinterland are all Gilneth lands.

To the north, they bordered Quel'Thalas directly, and once launched, the Eastern and Western Plaguelands would instantly become a battlefield. And there, it was originally the most important grain producing area of Lordaeron, and Du Teng was unwilling and impossible to give up.

That's why he still has to win over the blood elves.

This has almost become an irreplaceable contradiction.

How to choose, Du Teng has had a headache for a long time, but he has not been able to come up with a reasonable plan.

Until the arrival of the Blood Elves......

Because the blood elves came relatively late, Du Teng arranged for them to rest first. The welcome banquet was scheduled for the next day, to which the haughty Sindores did not object.

Turning the pages, it was soon the next day.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the castle comes alive.

The old king, who had abdicated to make way for Xian, rarely did not go fishing, but appeared at the banquet.

In the banquet, everyone was staggered and not lively, but behind the excitement, there was an urgent form, in any case, this time Sylvanas brought so many people, the meaning has been very clear.

Either an alliance or a break, there is no other possibility.

And the key problem is the Night Elves.

Whether or not to accept the Night Elves became the most critical issue.

Avoiding the others, Du Teng came to the balcony alone, looked at the moonlight at night, and fell into deep thought.

"Is His Highness Lim still in trouble? It seems that Sindore's status in His Highness's heart is not high. ”

A female voice appeared behind him, it was Sylvanas.

Why do you say that? I'm a fool to know the importance of Sindore, and I want to be a firm ally with you......"

"But Kadore must leave!"

Sylvanas interrupted, "These distant relatives of mine, their very existence, has caused a lot of opposition in Silvermoon City, although I can not mind the existence of Kadore, but the others can't. His Highness should understand that the Council of Silvermoon City ...... After all, we still have to serve all the people of Silvermoon City, so we can't completely ignore the opinions of the people. ”

"That's right, I know it well, so, I already have an idea......"

Du Teng smiled, his eyes were very bright.
