Chapter 984: Status Quo
Hayley used to be a priest at Northshire Abbey, and when she became a disciple of Edward, Boward was still a child who stole teachers, and in Bowval's psyche, the legendary Lady Seeker was like an older sister.
What's more, almost everyone in the Azeroth Plane knows that the Lady of the Seekers eventually found Edward and became his wife, living together as she wished.
The appearance of Hayley also means that Edward is here.
Berval, the current commander of the Demon Hunter Knights, who is very stable in the eyes of others, actually rushed up directly and hugged Hayley like a child begging for comfort.
Hayley generously hugged Bolval, looked Bolval up and down, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years? ”
"We have been fighting almost every day for the past few years, and if the Light is not strong, we will hardly be able to do our duty. Bowval coughed lightly, noticing a female human standing behind Hayley, and asked, "This is ......"
"Let's go in first, and leave the rampant demons in the courtyard to Ciri. Hayley smiled and walked in, glancing at the few people standing next to Anduin, nodding in greeting, and then focusing her gaze on the central coffin.
"Varian...... Your Majesty...... He's gone?"
"Yes, Ms. Haley. Anduin said sadly, "My father was in the back of the palace with Commander Karen to cover the departure of the others......"
"Karen Karen too?" Hayley was shocked, although Varian was nominally her king, but in terms of intimacy, Hayley cared more about Karen Lothar, the friend who had been training with her since the beginning.
"Do you know anything about Edward? Ms. Haley. Gianna's first sight of Hayley ignited hope that she, Arthas, and Varian had been very good friends, and she expected Edward to pull Varian up.
"He went to Rivendell Fortress. Hayley's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Varian's coffin, "But even if he's here, he won't be able to resurrect Varian." I can't feel the soul of His Majesty Varian, no one has been able to resurrect him. ”
"No...... It's not true...... Gianna was so grief-stricken that she wept bitterly, and even Anduin shed tears.
Hayley's words were like Varian's death trial, and behind him, Viren and the others also sighed deeply, bowing their heads to mourn the departure of the king of Stormwind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please mourn. Hayley was silent for a moment before asking, "I want to know, how did Cullen die, what happened to his body after he died, and did his soul survive?"
"I rescued Commander Karen's body. Prince Lim replied, "When Commander Karen was besieged by the Burning Legion and died from all his strength, Queen Sylvanas and I ventured into it while the demons of the Burning Legion turned their attention to His Majesty Varian, who was being protected by Commander Karen. I snatched the Commander's body, and I saw Sylvanas collect the Commander's soul, but there was nothing we could do about His Majesty Varian, and his soul was also at that time, by the demon leader of Gul'dan."
"That's good, if that's the case, Karen can still be saved. Hayley saluted Prince Limu, "Thank you for your help, may I ask ...... you are"
"I am Prince of Gilneth, Lim Greymayne, and King Jean is my father. ”
"Gilneth, you're also in the Alliance?" said Hayley, "I remember you were ...... when Edward and I left."
"Lady Haley!" Malfurion said impatiently, "we all want to know Edward's whereabouts now, is he coming with you?"
"Yes, Lord Malfurion. Hayley replied, "Not only is he here, but he's also brought with him a large number of Demon Hunter Knights troops, just to completely eliminate the threat of the Burning Legion and bring Azeroth to a time of peace forever!"
As soon as Hayley's words came out, everyone present clenched their fists and cheered in a low voice, and even the old and serious Viren swung his fist vigorously and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Edward came this time and brought four people, including me. Hayley let Hermione out behind her, "Let me introduce you, this is Hermione Granger, like me, Edward's wife." ”
"Hello everyone. Hermione generously saluted the crowd and said, "You can call Hermione, it's my comrade-in-arms Ciri who cleans up the demons in the courtyard." Another Sid went to Rivendell Fortress with Edward. ”
Anduin and the others returned the salute and introduced themselves to Hermione.
The arrival of Hayley and a large number of Demon Hunter Knights has injected a boost into Stormwind and the Alliance, which are in a state of grief. The newly decadent new King Anduin was also much more uplifted, and after arranging some business for Varian's funeral, everyone moved to the palace chamber to dine and tell Hayley and the others about the current situation in Azeroth.
"It seems like the end of an era. Viren smiled wryly, "Almost all of the culprits responsible for the chaos in Azeroth have emerged. ”
"The Burning Legion of the Shattered Isles is our greatest enemy at the moment, but the Old Gods who take advantage of the chaos in various places should not be underestimated. The Twilight Legion took advantage of our lack of skills to grow again and turn into a colony that harmed all races. However, the current situation has not deteriorated to the point of becoming a catastrophe, and you Demon Hunter Knights are very good at dealing with the whispers of the old gods, and without their help, the situation would be even more chaotic. ”
"The Old Gods?" Hayley raised an eyebrow, she remembered that Benedictas tried to pollute Edward, and that Twilight priest used the methods of the Old Gods, "We'll have to settle accounts with them sooner or later, but now our main enemy is the Burning Legion, and once the Burning Legion is completely wiped out, the threat of the Old Gods will not be good." ”
"What is Edward's plan to do with the Burning Legion?" said Tyrande, furrowing his long eyebrows, "The Burning Legion is now firmly established in the Shattered Isles, relying on countless portals to send demons to Azeroth, while also coercing the Children of the Night of Asuna to become their puppets......"
When Tyrande said this, he sighed in unison with Malfurion: "This is the homeland of our Night Elves, and now the Archmage Elisandr, who rules there, is going to fight us with our enemies......"
"Concrete actions also require us to understand the situation. Hayley couldn't sit still, he was eager to see how Cullen was doing, "However, you can rest assured, don't say that the nominal commander of the Burning Legion is Gul'dan now, even if Kil'Gardan is in person, our Demon Hunter Knights will never back down." ”
"In fact, it's not just the Burning Legion and the Old Gods that are in trouble. Gianna advised, "The Broken Isles of Sulama, Valsala, the High Ridge, and the Stormfjords all have our enemies. If Edward wants to attack the Night Fortress of Asuna directly, he must first solve the troubles in these places. ”
"Oh, what other enemies do we have?" said Hayley, laughing, "more difficult than Kil'Gardan?"
"For example, the vengeful Naga of Surama, whose leader is the former Elven Queen Aishara, or the Nightmare King of Savis in Varsara, and Hela in Stormfjord......"
"Wait, you say Savis?" Hayley was impressed by Savis, the Nightmare King, who was the only one who could cross the barrier of the plane and harm Edward, and almost made Edward go mad when he was in the shelter plane, "Hasn't he been eliminated by Edward?"
"Not really. Tyrande said sadly, "We originally thought that after the last Nightmare Battle, Savis would be able to recuperate for a long time before he could wake up. But the Burning Legion's return shattered all expectations, and the power of the Elder God hastened his awakening and gave it enough power to control the Dream Guardians......"
"Dream Keeper, you mean Miss Ysera, she'......"
Tyrande closed his eyes and said, "Savis took control of Ysera with Elune's Tears, and he corrupted Sara Dahir, the world tree of Valashar, before we even got here, making her a Nightmare Heart. The controlled Ysera became his puppet......"
"It's worse than Edward expected. Hayley fell silent, "I didn't expect the Dream Guardian to suffer this catastrophe......"
"When I heard the news, I couldn't imagine it. Anduin said distressedly, "I experienced the last nightmare battle, and it was that battle that allowed me to overcome my nightmare and contributed to my heart of faith. How sacred and beautiful Lady Ysera was then, and now ......"
"What's the current situation in these places, isn't Savis making trouble in Valsala and not allowing the Anti-Demon Coalition to be attacked on both sides?" said Hayley, a little confused.
"Of course, we also have allies. "In Valsala against Savis is the Hamuel Rune Totem, in Surama is the Naga tribe led by Queen Vasqi of Ilidarre, in the High Ridge there is the High Ridge Minotaur tribe, and in the Stormfjord is Odin and his Vaghri. ”
"The situation is still under control, but the chaotic battlefield everywhere could deteriorate at any time. Gianna added, "Our enemies are far stronger than ours, and we desperately need reinforcements. ”
"Then we can't afford to delay any longer. Hayley also realized the tension of the situation, and opened a portal with one hand, "I'm going to Rivendell Fortress right now to discuss the war with Edward, do any of you want to go with me?"
Everyone stood up, even Anduin was desperate to see the teacher he hadn't seen in a long time.
Of course, he knew that he still had his father's funeral to officiate and couldn't leave Stormwind, so he explained, "I just want to meet the teacher and be back right away." ”
Veren and the others nodded, and then entered Hailey's portal.
............
As the headquarters of all demon hunters in the world of Azeroth, Rivendell Fortress has evolved over the years and is no longer the fortress it was built of wood and stone. It covers almost a large area of plains to the north of the Undercity, with walls stretching to the north of the original village of Brill. The port fills up the entire northern coast.
Hayley's teleportation array appeared directly in the council chamber of Rivendell's Lord's Mansion where Edward had set up the Holy Light Path Marker in Rivendell, and when a group of people came out of the portal, they didn't see Edward and Sid, and there was only an acquaintance waiting for them in the hall.
"Marcus!" Hayley stepped forward and hugged the old friend, looking up and down.
"Hayley, it's been a long time. Marcus also smiled and patted Hayley's shoulder, "It's been so long, it looks like you're growing up a lot faster than us, I really miss it, the original chubby girl is now out and ......."
"Shut up, you big mouth, don't mention the little chubby chick to me!" Hayley glanced at Hermione and Ciri, who were snickering, and warned viciously, and changed the subject, "Where's Edward?"
"The instructor went to the Undercity. Marcus frowned slightly, "There may still be some trouble, Tirio Fording wants to take Cullen's body to the Chapel of Light's Wish for burial, but how can Sylvanas, who is on the verge of collapse, agree? ”
"I'll take a look. Hearing this, Hayley immediately opened a portal again and looked at Anduin and the others.
"We're not going, the Undercity is the main city of the tribe after all. "Get Edward back as soon as possible, and then we'll go to Dalaran over the Broken Isles to counsel, and the Khadgar and Kenrito councils will be glad you're here." ”
Hayley nodded, and led Hermione and Ciri through the portal.
The Undercity is still the same Undercity, a massive city that lies underground and as deep and dark as its name.
Hayley appeared directly in the Queen's Hall of the Undercity according to Edward's sign, and Edward stood in the middle of the confrontation between Tirio Fording and Sylvanas. There is also an acquaintance - Winresa Windranger, the leader of the Silver Covenant.
Tirio has aged a lot, but Wen Leisa hasn't changed much, just matured a lot.
What makes Hayley care is Sylvanas, the only one of those to be resurrected!
On her body, Hayley did not see any of the characteristics of a person to be resurrected, even her soul, which was completely the appearance of a dawn elf!
However, Her Majesty the Queen, who had been successfully resurrected, was not in a very good condition right now, her long silver hair was draped haphazardly, her eyes flashed red under her slender eyebrows, and even the cloak she was wearing was a little scattered.
