Chapter 32: The Silver Hand-Wood-Death
"Zumashal?" rubbed his chin, and the mid-level mage looked at the girl mage.
"That's right, Zumashal!"
"Isn't there a high elf from the north who has been encircling and suppressing them?"
"If the elves had been able to encircle and suppress it, they wouldn't have a heavy army there, and—" Gianna continued, glancing at Kiel.
"After so many years of encirclement and suppression, we have found that Zumasal seems to be more than just an enclave of trolls, it is very likely that there is one or even several passages to Zuamaman in the Zulunkab mountain range behind it!
"How is that possible!"
The middle-level mage glared at the girl, Zuaman is the only troll kingdom in the Northern Continent, including the Ghost Lands up the Stratholme region, the Song Forest, the northernmost part of the Northern Continent was once its territory, and even the current Imperial Capital of Quel'Salas, Silvermoon City was established on the ruins of a large border city in the Kingdom of Zuaman.
Of course, the founder of the so-called ruins, even the first emperor of Quel'Salas, Darth Rema, it was the great lord of the Night Elf Empire who led the remnants of the upper elves to land on the northernmost island of the Northern Continent, and after clearing the small tribes of trolls on the island, he completely gained a foothold, and then marched into the Chanting Forest, with the assistance of a powerful mage army, swept through the entire Chanting Forest, destroyed the only troll city, and then officially established the country and established the imperial capital of Quel'Salas - Silvermoon City on the original site.
Then, the High Elves who had thoroughly digested the Singing Forest began to unfold a millennial grudge with the Troll Kingdom of Zuaman in the Land of Ghosts, until the First Emperor was transformed into a shrine, Anastarian? The Sunchaser carried the banner of the High Elves, and His Majesty, who is still in power today, whimsically used a means of distant and close attack, enveloping the Arathi Empire, which was just rising at that time, but it was this alliance that was not favored by most of the upper echelons of the High Elves at that time, but it completely changed the fate of mankind and elves.
Under the traction of the eternal covenant of the two emperors, Anastarian and Saladin, the human cavalry legion and the High Elf mage legion destroyed the remnants of the primeval troll empire, completely sealed the trolls of the northern continent near Zuaman City, and even broke the gate of Zuaman City several times, although in the end it did not completely destroy the troll king's capital, but it almost broke the backbone of the last descendant of this ancient troll empire, and in the following thousands of years, without the nourishment of the vast territory, Zuaman can only become weaker and weaker in barrenness。
Zumashal, sandwiched between the Stratholm region and the Great Kaulin County, was also migrated during the war, a half-blood tribe formed by the gathering of several remnant troll settlements. As soon as they settled, the High Elves established the Elven Fortress of the Northland Outpost at the intersection of Stratholm and the Land of Ghosts, and began to deal with these remnants of trolls, but because Stratholme had left the territory of Quel'Thalas, the main task of the elves was actually not to exterminate this tribe of trolls, but to hold the passage through the Land of Spirits, after all, fighting with the trolls of the forest species in the mountains and forests, even the elven rangers of the same rank were at a disadvantage, and for the already sparsely populated High Elves, it was not cost-effective to sacrifice the clansmen to destroy these remnants。
And it is precisely because the trolls of Zulmatha have completely lost contact with Zuaman, which is regarded as rootless water, so the elves will be so careless, and even keep these trolls for thousands of years with the intention of training, until the human race begins to multiply in this area, and even after the establishment of the Great Kaolin County, the human race has begun to worry about these small strong people who can't fight to the death, but it is only distressing, after all, this remnant has been destroyed by the elves like cat and mouse for thousands of years, and it is good to be able to retain the barely tribal formation.
"I thought Zurmatha's trolls were almost dead..."
The middle-level mage's face gradually cooled and muttered, his oak forest was next to him, if a large number of trolls broke through the elves' defenses, not to mention his small town guarded by a four-change mage, even Stratholme could fall.
"That's because it's sealed, this is the real hinterland of Lordaeron, whether it's Stratholm or Grand Cowlingshire, or even Daronshire, it's a place where a large number of ordinary people gather, if they knew that there was a bomb that could detonate at any time above their heads, it would have caused a wave of displaced people!" glanced at Kyris angrily, but Gianna's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Kyle, take me quietly on this winter hunt! ”
The mid-level mage glanced at the shadow man who heard the girl's mage's words, and immediately turned like a shadow man like a dead father, and shook his head slightly.
"Your Highness, this is not a spring outing, you can't participate in it justifiably, you can't be regarded as a descendant force of the major forces, not even a regular army. can only be used as cannon fodder, if you have three long and two short, I will definitely not see the moon the next day. "Nonsense, in this kind of terrifying winter hunting activity, the first echelon must be cannon fodder such as mercenaries, then the elite regular army, and finally the true elite descendants of the major forces.
The so-called war is the process of throwing one team after another into a meat grinder, consuming each other, and comparing endurance. And even this kind of small-scale encirclement and suppression, because it is facing a creature with a large physique like a troll and it is still in the mountainous jungle, only relying on the cannon fodder troops with a large number of people to spread out in the lofty mountains and mountains, either force out the main force of the opponent, and then annihilate it with an overwhelming superiority in troops, or rely on a carpet search to knock out the enemy's elite, and then annihilate by their own elite, although the balance of victory has always been on the human side, but the consumption can be vaguely felt from the faces of the shadow people around them.
"Hmph, I hate timid men the most!" Her Royal Highness the princess, who had nothing to gain, could only use her last trick, looking at the middle-level mage with contempt, and then in exchange for only a faint smile, which seemed to have a bit of a cheap thief smile.
"Your Highness, I am an enchanter, and even in wartime, I was the first to retreat. The ultimate goal of magic is not to destroy but to create!" Respectfully bowed to the girl mage, and the middle-level mage walked out of the barrier with his follower Shi Shiran.
"Have you seen Arthas?" but before he could touch the barrier, Gianna's voice came from his ears again, and the girl mage said as she puffed up and followed.
"He is the prince of the kingdom, and I can see him if I want to. Glancing at Gianna, Kyris said calmly as she stepped out of the barrier.
"He's in the Silver Hand team..."
Before entering, the sky was still bright, but I didn't expect it to be a little dim, Her Royal Highness the princess of Kurtilas looked at the small group of paladins who were still guarding the gate of the barracks and said in a daze, the small group of middle-level paladins just now has been replaced by a normal low-level silver hand apprenticeship.
"I must participate in this winter hunt!" the girl's eyes immediately certain, and she glanced at the mid-level mage with an unusually bright look, and then walked forward quickly.
Looking at her back thoughtfully, Kyris smiled slightly, and followed with Kiel, this pair of bitter mandarin ducks in history seems to have begun this grievance.
With a mess in their hearts, the two middle-level mages slowly walked through the gate guarded by the paladins.
"Be careful!"
Kiel's exclamation was heard in his ears, and then Kyris was pushed away and crashed into the body of a paladin, but fortunately, the paladin was originally a meat shield of meat shields, and the small body of a mid-level mage was not shaken at all.
But before Kelreth could stand firmly, he felt something hit him behind him, this time the paladin couldn't withstand it, and took a few steps back to stabilize his body, and the mid-level mage also turned to look at the thing that hit him, and then, his whole face froze.
Kir leaned down at his feet, judging by the position, it seemed that he was the one who hit him just now, but the Shadow One was now lying quietly on the ground, silently looking at the mid-level mage, and in his chest, a finger-thick pure black arrow pierced through his chest.
"Be careful!"
Another exclamation, only this time it was the maiden mage Gianna, and Kyris had come to her senses completely.
A long arrow that was exactly the same as the murder weapon that crossed Kiel's right chest passed through the afterimage of the middle-level mage in Gianna's exclamation, and in the next second, Kelreth had already appeared in the farthest distance of the girl's mage's vision, and the terrifying thunderstorm directly covered a low house in front of the middle-level mage, and the house collapsed in an instant in a spell similar to the lightning domain.
"Die!"
Kyris shouted violently, and the staff slammed into the figure that suddenly burst out of the ruins of the house, and the figure let out a piercing scream, but it immediately stopped abruptly, and with a squirt, it turned into a corpse and fell to the ruins.
"Give me death!" With a scarlet light flashing in his eyes, the middle-level mage casually threw out a dozen or so large fireballs that directly turned the ruins into a sea of fire, although one had been eliminated, but in his perception, there was obviously a mouse hiding under the ruins, but unfortunately he had not learned a spell similar to earthquake magic, so he could only use this method to try to force this guy out.
"Roar, sea!"
The terrifying fire snake even began to spread around, but the middle-level mage still refused to give up, the fireballs smashed into the sea of fire one after another, and Gianna, who ran to his side, would take out the staff, and the water elements began to gather, like a waterfall directly extinguishing the fire, glancing at the middle-level mage who was staring at him with scarlet, Gianna took a step back, and then snorted coldly, the staff slammed into the ground, and a silver-white frost path extended from her feet to the ruins of the house, and in an instant, the entire ruins became an ice palace。
"Let's go see him!" Gianna hesitated to see that Kyris was still glaring at the Ice Palace.
In the next second, the figure of the mid-level mage appeared beside the Shadow One.
"My lord, I am glad to see such a look in my eyes before I die. ”
Holding the tail of the arrow in one hand, the Shadow Person, who had originally closed his eyes, seemed to sense the mid-level mage, looked into the eyes of Kelrith and said with a smile.
"Death in battle is the fate of our generation, please don't grieve!"
Looking at his first follower in silence, the scarlet in the eyes of the mid-level mage slowly dissipated.
"I really want to see the sea in my hometown..."
The smile slowly faded as Kiel looked at the dim sky and muttered, as if he heard the distant waves again.
Looking at the Shadow One's slowly dilating pupils, Kyris slowly closed his eyes, but immediately looked up into the air, his face completely like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
