Chapter 12: Sylvanas
Sylvanas. Windranger, Aurelia. The younger sister of the Windranger, the future known Queen of the Forsaken.
When they were young, the relationship between these two sisters was not very good, not that there was any hatred, jealousy or anything like that, but that the two equally excellent sisters didn't like each other.
Aurelia became famous earlier, and Sylvanas was more talented, the latter became an ordinary ranger in only a hundred years after becoming an adult, becoming a ranger general, on an equal footing with his sister, of course, the current Sylvanas is only just emerging, at best he can only be regarded as a powerful ranger among the far travelers.
Before the Orc War, the parents of the Windranger sisters were still alive, and Aurelia was born early and was very good, so she was naturally regarded as a role model for her two younger sisters at home, and was constantly praised by her parents, but Sylvanas was inevitably a little arrogant because of her good talent, so she was not very convinced, and Aurelia felt that this sister did not respect her sister at all, far less cute than the youngest sister Wen Leisa.
Seeing Sylvanas coming over at this time, Aurelia's brows furrowed unconsciously, and then she said unceremoniously: "Ciel, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”
Sylvanas smiled shallowly, she was not very old, but she actually showed a charm that was even more charming than her sister, and said, "My sister, if you are not afraid, why do you question Your Highness's orders?" Before we came, General Haduron specially instructed us that we must obey His Highness's arrangements for this operation! ”
Aurelia's brows tangle together. She glared at Ciel, and then said angrily, "But the general didn't order us to die!" You've fought those trolls when you're at the border, so don't tell me you can't tell you're messing around! ”
But Hill didn't care about playing with his long hair. looked at his sister with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"My dear sister, do you think you're the only one who thinks of this? Or do you think General Haduron and His Majesty the King will send us to our deaths in vain? Just now I saw Lord Salorian in disguise among those elven knights, and he didn't say anything, so what do you have to worry about! ”
Aurelia fell silent, gave her sister one last glance, and then turned to follow the group.
Now that Salorian has arrived, with his prestige and status second only to the king among the High Elves. That's really not a need for Aurelia to meddle in anything, presumably those big guys have their own ideas.
And with a powerful warrior in Queldra's hand, there is no guarantee that these elves will be safe. But at least it's not a problem to break through at critical moments.
After his sister left, Sylvanas didn't follow, but turned back to look at Mo Wen curiously.
Because of his talent, Sylvanas loves his race. I also respect the Sun Chaser family. But he was not as deferent to Mo Wen as other high elves.
I saw her glance at Mo Wen back and forth a few times, but she pinched her waist and smiled lightly, "That arrow just now is very good, when will you compete with me!" ”
Just now, Sylvanas and her sister both noticed the thief's, but their movements were not as fast as Mo Wen's, so she was really not very convinced by Mo Wen, who had just been in the limelight. There is a bit of eagerness to try it out between the manners.
Mo Wen didn't pay much attention to this, let alone Sylvanas, who was far from his peak now. Even the later Queen of the Forsaken is not enough in his eyes, but he has coveted the Windranger sister flower for a long time, not only is she beautiful, but also has a high status among the High Elves, and she is very suitable to be a subordinate, so in the face of Sylvanas's provocation, he just pouted and said indifferently: "Okay, after this operation, you are welcome to come to me at any time!" ”
Sylvanas was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect Mo Wen to win so happily, and glanced up and down at the prince, who was a little younger than herself, and she suddenly burst out laughing.
"Your Royal Highness, don't cry then!"
In a burst of crisp laughter, Vanas disappeared into Mo Wen's eyes in a few flashes, chasing after the team that was one step ahead.
Behind her, Mo Wen gently touched his chin.
"It's a bit nerve-wracking, without the Queen of the Forsaken, I'm afraid no one will be able to control those Forsaken, do you want to save her?" ――
In the jungle of Zuaman, violent explosions rang out frequently, startling countless resident birds from the forest and flying into the distance.
Although there is a toxin left by the troll shaman in the jungle, it is nothing under the treatment and dispersal of the priest, and the elven army of thousands of people gathered together and quickly advanced towards Zuaman City in the depths of the jungle. Although the forest trolls gathered in Zuaman City are the majority, there are many tribes on the periphery, and a single army can only be drowned by the sea of trolls.
"Arcane Shield!"
With the low shout of an elven knight leader, the row of knights standing at the front of the line raised their shields in unison, and the light of magic converged on it, but it formed a multicolored shield wall, and the weapons of the troll warriors ping-pong smashed on it, only splashing a faint ripple.
At the same time, the distant travelers behind them struck one after another, and arrows mixed with various colors of brilliance shot out from the gaps in the shield at various tricky angles, heading straight for the trolls' eyes, throats, hearts, and other vital points, and almost instantly took away the patrol team that had crashed into the hands of the elves.
With a hint of brilliance in her eyes, Aurelia looked at the intact defense line in front of the team, her face was full of disbelief, she slowly withdrew the longbow in her hand, and said to Mo Wen with a little surprise: "Your Highness, this knight skill system you have developed is really good, in the past, even if our warriors erected a shield wall, they would be smashed by those trolls." With that skill, we can intercept these attacks intact, as long as we have more knights. There's nothing to threaten us anymore! ”
Her own military attainments are not low, and Aurelia can naturally see at a glance the importance of these knights to the entire elven clan. Because of their physical reasons, the elven warriors are actually not suitable for the skills of ordinary warriors who live on their bodies, so she didn't have any expectations for the melee skill system developed by Mo Wen before, but she didn't expect Mo Wen to find another way to use arcane magic to strengthen defense, which greatly strengthened the advantages of elven knights.
"Nothing. It's just a whim for a while, not to mention just solving a patrol of dozens of people, and the real graduate school entrance examination is still to come! ”
A humble smile appeared on Mo Wen's face. But I don't care much about it.
The so-called elven knight system is actually improved by the paladin skills he learned in the dark world, and it has naturally been perfected a long time ago, how can it be possible to make a mistake in the face of a troll team of only a few dozen people.
Since being reincarnated as Kael'thas . Mo Wen had actually been thinking about enhancing the High Elves' melee strength. Finally, more than ten years ago, he selected the Dark Paladin's skill and improved it to make it more suitable for the constitution of the High Elves.
Because of the same magical world, there were not even any major problems in the improvement process, and after replacing some skills that needed to drive the power of the Holy Light with arcane energy, the entire system was roughly formed, allowing Mo Wen to easily brush up his prestige. After all, compared to the paladins of this world who control the Holy Light. The Knights of the Dark World are more similar to the Elemental Knights, and their damage is mainly from the elements of ice, fire, and thunder, as well as the aura of aura that is biased towards spiritual cultivation. Compared with the paladins of this world, it is more in line with the physique of the High Elves.
Most of what Mo Wen said at this time was true, but it was different in Aurelia's eyes.
The problem of strengthening melee combat with magic, the high elves have not studied it before, but those who are qualified to study these skills are often some powerful mages, and the results of their research may be a little possible to manipulate as some mages, but ordinary warriors can't do it at all, and to become a mage, a few people will go back to do melee combat if they have nothing to do, and in the end, it is still relying on the research results of His Royal Highness Kael'thas to have the current achievements.
The bad impression caused by the previous conflict was reversed a lot, and Aurelia felt that although his Royal Highness the prince was a little arrogant, it was not without reason, at least to develop such a system, and His Royal Highness Kael'thas was definitely the best in intelligence.
Not only her, but standing in the ranks of the Far Travelers, Sylvanas's eyes were also rippling, constantly looking at Mo Wen, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
If it were a normal time, Mo Wen, who noticed this, would definitely find an opportunity to show his courtesy to the two beauties, but now is not the time, just as Mo Wen and Aurelia were talking, another team of troll patrols heard the movement and rushed over, accompanied by a burst of footsteps, a tall moss monster appeared behind the trees.
A troll warrior led by him was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, looking at the corpses of his clan all over the ground in front of him, as well as the nearly a thousand elves with menacing momentum, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Run separately for me, go back and report to Lord Zurkin, those bastards are here!"
The trolls were not stupid, there were only a few dozen of them, and they could only follow in the footsteps of their companions if they charged forward, so at the captain's command, they all turned their heads and ran back, swaying from side to side as they ran, and dodging the elves' dark arrows through the trees.
"Want to run?"
Seeing this, Aurelia sneered, set up her bow and arrow, and didn't aim much, hitting one of the fleeing trolls in the neck.
And the far-travelers around her were not to be outdone, they shot one after another, it was like arrows raining down, and in the blink of an eye, the troll squad of twenty people was put into more than a dozen people, and only two were too far away to be shot.
Looking at the two trolls who were about to disappear from sight, Aurelia took a light breath and reached for her quiver.
But before she could do anything, a feathered arrow pierced through the cracks and hit the back of one of the trolls' neck, breaking its entire neck.
Aurelia took a quick look and saw her sister holding the bow in her hand, looking at her with a smug expression.
"This damn girl!"
With a curse in her heart, Aurelia was about to deal with the last troll, when she heard a deep voice suddenly come from her ear.
"Go, Ao!"
The dazzling golden light, the sudden rise in temperature, and the sudden appearance of a magic array on the ground of the jungle.
Then, with a cry, a giant bird with a burning flame flew out of it, and with a whistling it rushed into the distance, and one leaned down, and the flames from its mouth burned the troll to charcoal.
"That's—" Looking at the flame bird, Aurelia was speechless for a moment, both surprised by the bird's gorgeous appearance and the power it contained.
And standing beside her, Mo Wen took a few steps forward unhurriedly, and said casually: "That's Ao, the phoenix I recruited from the elemental realm!" ”
Reincarnated in Azeroth for more than a hundred years, Mo Wen did not spend it in vain, because of his physical affinity, his attainments in fire and arcane magic are very good, several of Kael'thas signature spells in the original book were easily developed by him, and following what he said before, he shifted his attention to mystery, and began to try not to use guò magic, but only to control the energy to attack.
The effect is not bad, and after nearly a hundred years of training, simple elemental energy attacks can be easily combined at will. Relying on the High Elf bloodline amplification and their own efforts, the inherent skill of energy control has been raised from C+ level to B level.
Energy Mastery (B/A+): A constitution that is naturally compatible with energy greatly strengthens your ability to absorb, control, and apply energy, and sometimes deprives the other party of the power in the body. (Effect - Passive, energy absorption, induction enhancement, energy damage reduction, energy treasure power enhancement - active, no higher than their own level of enemies can forcibly absorb the energy in the opponent's body, and strengthen the power of their own energy attack in a short time.) )
Because of the appearance of the elemental phoenix, Aurelia was speechless in surprise for a while, but looking at the gradually rising temperature and the smoke ignited by the flames, her face changed, and she said to Mo Wen a little anxiously: "Your Highness, put away your phoenix first, if you continue like this, we will soon be discovered!" ”
But Mo Wen shook his head, and with a slight gesture, Ao roared and spewed out a ball of fire, burning a dark path through the muddy and shrub-ridden forest.
With an uncertain glint in his eyes, Mo Wen took a deep breath, and then shouted: "All attention, now start the rapid march, the target is Zu Aman City!" ”
Without any questioning, a thousand High Elves followed behind the phoenix and quickly rushed forward.
Then Mo Wen turned around and explained softly to Aurelia: "We have already encountered two waves of troll patrols in a row, which means that we have reached their hinterland, and it is impossible to hide again, rather than delay a little time, it is better for us to catch the trolls by surprise before they finish gathering their army!" ”
Looking at Aurelia with a stunned face, Mo Wen immediately sneered again.
"I wish Zurkin was still in Anzuman City, otherwise I would be sorry if I couldn't cut off its head with my own hands!"
The golden and silver eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, the long hair fluttered slightly behind the head, and the confidence was a little arrogant, and the Mo Wen in front of her made Aurelia's heart tremble slightly, she felt that this was not a young prince, but a king as dazzling as the sun.
Wanting to follow him to create her own legend, a thought crept into her mind, and then it never lingered.
And as if sensing something, at the back of the line, Sylvanas, who was advancing, suddenly turned around, looked at his sister who was staring at Mo Wen in a daze, and then pursed his lips and laughed playfully, as if he had found something interesting. (To be continued......)
