The fortress of Rivendell was now much larger than it had been when Edward had left, and its long walls stretched across almost the entire coastline of northern Lordaeron, enclosing it along with the peaks and vast expanses of the territory. In the midst of www.biquge.info fortress, there are many watchtowers, on which from time to time paladins in silver-white armor patrol and guard. Trebuchets, dwarven cannons, and crossbows all mark this as an unusually strong, fanged beast of war.

To the north of the fortress is a sprawling harbor filled with thousands of sails, including ships flying the Seeker's flag, which is not much like the Witcher Knights, as well as ordinary merchant ships, goblin chaebol merchant ships, and even ships of the High Elves - nay, the Blood Elves as they should be called now.

At the land exit of the fortress, a large number of paladins on armored horses rode and patrolled the plain, and watchtowers towered over the plain, dividing the plain into two parts from north to south—the dividing line between the Knights of the Seekers and the Undercity, as you can imagine.

"Oh my God! The Knights of the Seekers are growing so fast!" Milhouse exclaimed, "In the time of the Scourge and the Burning Legion's invasion, there are too many people who want to join this organization against the undead. ”

"There is no Knights of the Seekers!Millhouse. Edward scolded, "The Knights of the Demon Hunters will not split, and we will be a pure organization against evil." ”

"Well, you have the final say, my boss. Milhouse shrugged his shoulders and said, "Still, you can call me Mir, it's more cordial." ”

Edward covered his face, tempting to tell the dwarf, who was often crooked, that it had little to do with business.

Edward in the air emitted the Demon Hunter Commander's Holy Light emblem, and the sentries on the ground towers soon discovered his presence and blew loud horns.

Soon after, a group of dragoons flew up from the sky, at first in a welcoming formation, but when they saw Edward, they immediately changed into battle formation. Obviously, they didn't think that a male human riding a giant monster would be their leader, Hayley.

"Descend and be examined by us!stranger!" led by the Dragon Eagle Knight, a Holy Ranger, his voice broke through the wind in the air and reached Edward's ears clearly.

Edward manipulated Alan and quickly lowered to the ground, and the dragon eagle knights also descended, surrounding Edward.

"Who are you!Why do you have our leader's emblem of the Light?" the Eagle Knights pointed their bows and arrows at Edward and the others, "You'd better not lie, or I'll give you a taste of the power of the Light Arrows." ”

Edward didn't answer his question immediately, but looked at the Holy Ranger with a frown.

In his memory, there was no Holy Ranger in Rivendell. Before Edward left, the fortress consisted only of paladins and shamans, as well as some warriors and ordinary archers. But these humans and blood elves in front of them, their bodies are indeed filled with powerful holy light, and the bows and arrows they use are indeed used.

Edward thought of a possibility, and he thought of the High Elf Ranger, Aurelia Windranger.

"Hey guys, take it easy, we're not enemies. Seeing that Edward didn't answer for a long time, Milhouse immediately shouted, "You people listen to me, standing in front of you is Edward Lee, the founder of your Demon Hunter Knights and the pioneer of paladins, and the powerful great mage who can survive the teleportation failure, Milhouse Mana Storm!"

The Dragonhawk Knights automatically ignored the second half of Millhouse's introduction, and were full of shock at the first half of the introduction. They looked at Edward carefully, and suddenly realized that the man in front of them did resemble the statue standing in the central square of the fortress - their leader, who prayed in front of this statue every day, was already familiar with it.

"You really are ......," the leader of the Eagle Knights swallowed.

"Let Hayley come out, I think we need to talk. Edward said calmly.

"Mistress Haley has gone to the Outlands, and now our commander is Lord Karen. The Dragon Eagle Knight said.

"Stop!" Edward was about to pass through them and into the fortress, but the Eagle Knights were clearly very loyal and still held him back.

"Stand down!" a man in the armor of a general galloped out of the fortress on a war horse, shouting with unconcealed excitement.

Without waiting for the horse to stop, he leaped off his horse, rushed to this side, and hugged Edward tightly.

"Instructor, you're finally back!"

There was no doubt that the man was Karen Lothar.

Edward smiled and patted him on the back, grabbed his shoulder pads, and looked at him.

At this time, Karen had long since faded from the childishness of his youth and had become a tall, upright, heroic young man.

Yes, youth and not middle age. In terms of age, Cullen was already in his forties at this time, but the demon hunter-like light had slowed down his aging and made him stay in the stage of youth. From him, Edward felt a powerful power of holy light, even more powerful than Legolas, a half-monked holy ranger!

The dragon eagle knights around, the travelers passing by, and the holy rangers on the city walls all stared at the commander of the Knights of the Seeker with wide eyes. Cullen gave them the impression of being mature and secure, and they had never seen such an excited commander!

Karen wiped his eyes without a trace, a relieved smile of excitement on his face.

He turned to everyone and shouted, "Now, everyone in Rivendell, cheer to heart's content." Paladin Herald, Your Excellency our Commander, Edward Lee is back!"

As Cullen shouted, they all fell to their knees, paying their highest respects to Edward, and their hearts were filled with surprise - he had been missing for more than twenty years, the first paladin in Azeroth, and the famous Knights of the Demon Hunters, who had been founded during the First War!

Being able to witness the return of this hero may be the most talked about and glorious thing in their lives.

In a salute, Cullen led Edward into the Demon Hunter Fortress, and after a brief tour, he entered the Consulate Hall of the Fortress, where Cullen had a lot to say. As for Millhouse, it was clear that he was more interested in publicizing his great deeds in the fortress than in Edward's past.

"Alright, calm down, Karen. Edward did not sit in the commander's seat, but sat at the round table with Cullen, looked at the excited Cullen and said, "I heard about you, I'm proud of you, you did a great job. ”

"It's a great honor to receive your compliment. Cullen gradually calmed down, but when it came to the end, he didn't know where to start, and there were so many things he wanted to say.

"Let's start with Hayley, why did he become like this? Edward Road.

"Don't you know? Ever since you left, Hayley has been getting thinner and thinner, and her longing for you has led to her madness and paranoia. Cullen was obviously unhappy with Edward's sudden disappearance, and bluntly said, "She thinks you abandoned her and abandoned us, that's why she ......"

"Say no more, Karen. Edward suddenly realized, a pained expression on his face, "It's my fault, I'll get her back and make her the same Hayley again." ”

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, instructor. "She's been to a lot of places in search of you. As time passed, this longing tormented her all the time, and she gradually became a person with a thirst for power. ”

"Not long ago, she gave up praying to your statue every day, and instead left Azeroth with her men and Prince Kael'thas for the Outlands. ”

She now believes that if you have enough power, she can find you. ”

"What do you want to say? Karen. Edward suddenly had a bad feeling and asked nervously.

"Demon, Instructor Edward. "I once felt the power of the devil in her room, and that was the day when our companion Hayley joined Prince Kael'thas with all the members of the Order who were loyal to her!"

"You mean, Hayley was seduced by a demon?" Edward's face immediately sank, and his worst fears had happened.

"Yes. Karen sighed, "I can't stop her, she has the same strength as I do, and she has a force that is even stronger than those of us who remained, and with Prince Kael'thas troops, it would be good to be able to keep Rivendell Fortress." ”

"Ever since the Burning Legion invaded, demons have been everywhere. They seem to be watching us all the time, tempting us at the slightest flaw. ”

"With pure light and a heart of faith, we can easily resist the temptation of demons, but Haley can't......"

Edward stood up, walked back and forth and thought for a while, and said, "Haley's affairs are my responsibility, and I must go to the Outlands to stop her from continuing to fall. ”

"I'll go with you, and I'm responsible. Callendau.

"So ...... Rivendell Fortress"

"The fortress is safe for the time being. Cullen suddenly became a little embarrassed and said, "The undead scourge in the Plaguelands has basically been wiped out, and no one can threaten Rivendell Fortress. Queen Sylvanas will also take refuge here. ”

"Queen Sylvanas...... She's Aurelia's sister?"

"That's right, of the three Windranger sisters of Quel'Salas, Aurelia is now in the Outlands, Sylvanus is in the Undercity, and the youngest of them, Winresa Windranger, is now the ambassador of contact between Silvermoon City and our Demon Hunter Keep, many of the Holy Ranger in the Stronghold are from the Silver Covenant of Winresa, would you like to meet her? ”
