"Catch her!"

A loud shout came from the front, and the speed of the little figure running under the stimulation of this shout suddenly increased by a level, even with the innate agility of the elf race, the speed of this little guy is really impressive, but unfortunately, although the agility is extraordinary, this little guy is obviously a little sloppy, and the little figure who is panicking does not see the road in front of him at all, and crashes into my body.

But I don't know if it's my illusion, I seem to see a shallow arc at the corner of the other party's mouth, as if some kind of plan has succeeded.

A panting elven guard ran ahead of us, the other party's equipment was not complete, and the leather armor and shoulder pads on his body were obviously from two different standard equipment, and the once powerful High Elf race could only arm its own soldiers in this patchwork way.

Just like the vast majority of blood elf soldiers now, this ordinary soldier who is responsible for maintaining law and order in Silvermoon City is only an armed civilian who has only undergone a short training and is not even a trainee, and his expression was suddenly startled when he saw Prince Kael'thas standing in front of him, and then he saw Alayah, the most eye-catching among us, his expression became even more sluggish, until the embarrassed Kael'thas coughed that the panicked guy came back to his senses.

"What's going on?"

Kael'thas asked with displeasure on his face, his soldiers' rude behavior in front of the oracle made him feel embarrassed, and then he looked down at the child who was hugging my waist tightly with a disgruntled look - a little girl with short blond hair and dirty all over her body, whose face was covered with dirt and could hardly be seen as it was, except for a pair of bright green eyes that shimmered smartly, making the little girl look a little more cute.

Noticing the gaze of His Royal Highness the Prince, the little elf girl looked away unnaturally, and then she suddenly noticed Alayya, who was standing aside and looking at her with a puzzled gaze.

I felt the little girl's body shake suddenly, and she seemed to be quite scared of the angel sister next to me, who was looking at me with gentle eyes.

This makes me a little puzzled, it seems that angels in this world are not terrible things, right?

"Your Royal Highness," the nervous elven soldier scrambled for a while before he finally remembered how to salute the army, and after a hurried salute, he pointed to the little girl and said, "This child is infected with the plague!" ”

The word "plague" was like a signal, and as soon as the words fell, there was a commotion around us, and Kael'thas's eyebrows immediately rose.

Plague, now these two words have only one meaning: natural disaster.

The little girl was infected with the undead virus, and it was the kind of high-level undead plague virus that could not be dispersed or cured at all, so she had to run away desperately, because during this period, any civilian infected with the incurable undead plague could only accept "purification", which was a sacrifice that had to be made for the safety of the entire race, but basically no one would be willing to make such a sacrifice.

I finally noticed that the little girl's tattered clothes were stained with dark red blood, and on her back there was a wound on her back, which was small and had crusted over, but there was an unsettling black patch near the wound that did not look serious.

"I'm sorry, my lord......"

Kael'thas's voice rang out beside me, but I didn't look back: "Alayah, can it be cured?" ”

"It's easy," Angel Sister said with a hint of confidence in her soft tone, "as long as her soul remains, healing the flesh won't be a problem." ”

In the eyes of mortal priests or paladins, this kind of infection directly invaded by the natural disaster virus is basically equivalent to becoming a part of the undead, but for Alayya, whose body is condensed by divine energy, it is not difficult to dispel this level of virus infection, and the precision of her control of the holy light is completely unimaginable to ordinary human priests.

The dirty elf girl immediately raised her head when she heard this, and her eyes flashed with surprise, however, I also found a little confusion in it, and seemed to be quite surprised that the angel sister said such a thing.

A strange little girl.

But it was just a small episode, and the virus on the little girl was easy for Alayah to dispel, but it needed a quiet environment, so we took the little girl and went to the palace of Kael'thas with us.

The Tower of the Sunwrath, one of the only remaining intact buildings in Silvermoon City, and the grandest and most powerful mage tower ever built by the Blood Elves, would not have survived if Arthas had it not been for Arthas's unwillingness to waste time after resurrecting Kel'thugad in the Well of the Sun, and now, as one of the few intact buildings in Silvermoon City, this massive mage tower is used as the new palace of the Blood Elves, and is also the residence of the Magus who support the Great Barrier of Quel'Thalas- They had to guarantee an uninterrupted supply of mana to the entire Great Enchantment, so it was impossible to leave the tower, which served as the hub of Quel'Salas' magic.

And the target of our trip, the Magic Net Node, is at the bottom of this tower.

I first asked for a room for the elven girl and asked Alayah to take her to the purification ritual, and then asked Kael'thas to retire the guards who were with him.

"I guess you need to meet someone first."

I said this when Kael'thas asked what kind of help we needed from the Blood Elves, and motioned for Sylvanas, who had been following us, to remove her hood.

"General Sylvanas!?"

As expected, such an exclamation sounded.

But soon, Kael'thas calmed down from the shock of seeing the long-dead general, and remembered the worst fate of the venerable woman in front of him.

"I'm an undead now," Sylvanas didn't lose her temper as she did, and despite the rare fluctuations in her mood from returning to her former homeland, she did a good job of hiding it, "and at the same time, I'm also working for God now." ”

In fact, although he had heard of the Divine Envoy uniting mortals to form the Salvation Army, Kael'thas did not know much about the situation of this new coalition, and the huge crisis faced by the entire race made him have no energy to pay attention to other things, so when he saw the former Ranger General who was an undead now standing next to the gods, he felt that the entire world was crazy.

Whoever it seems, the gods and the undead standing together is a pretty unbelievable thing.

As if pleased by the shocked expression of the Blood Elf Prince in front of him, oh, the Blood Elf King by now, Sylvanas gave a rare mischievous smile and said, "The gods are fairer than you think. ”

Although Kael'thas was a little dazed by the fact that the former Ranger General appeared in front of him as an undead and told him that she was already a member of the Celestial Camp, he was the leader of the Blood Elves after all, and he had the calmness and wisdom that this position should have, and he wisely did not dwell on this issue too much, but made the most appropriate response according to the current situation.

"I guess I can imagine...... I'm sorry, my mind is a little messy right now......" Kael'thas rubbed his forehead and smiled, "Anyway, it's a pleasure to see each other again, honorable Ranger General, and even though the situation here is so bad, I'll say, welcome home." ”

Welcome home, the most ordinary greeting, but it is said here with an unusual meaning, killed in the battle to defend her homeland, resurrected as an undead and a slave of the Lich King, leading the people who yearn for freedom to survive in the ruins of Lordaeron, betrayed, banished, ostracized by almost every race on the entire continent, and here, at last, there is someone willing to say to her: Welcome home, how heavy will this sentence be?

But Sylvanas's expression did not change much, not that she was indifferent to the words, but that the long loneliness made her almost forget what it was like to be moved, so that she habitually showed a cold expression, but soon, she smiled.

"I guess if I hadn't come this time as an ally of God but just as an undead, you wouldn't have said welcome to me."

Kael'tham's smile was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he soon noticed that the corner of the Ranger General's mouth in front of him showed a nonchalant smile, so he was relieved, let go of this topic that was a little embarrassing to him, and said, "I have also heard about what happened in the Undercity, so what do you want me to do this time?" Is it to subdue the Undercity? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, as you've seen in Quel'Thalas, the Blood Elves have taken care of themselves—and I'm ashamed to say that, but there's nothing we can do. ”

Sylvanas looked at me and said, "I understand your situation, rest assured, you don't need to make any sacrifices, and I don't want to see more casualties among my former compatriots...... We're just going to borrow this tower, to be exact, as the tower's energy source - the Magic Net node. ”
