The flight speed of the phoenix is much faster than that of the flying eagle.

The next morning, despite being hundreds of meters in the air, Lanlos was unable to see a single inch of Sin'aisari despite his extreme eyesight. Even the Well of Eternity, which was as bright as day in the night, had vanished before dawn.

At his feet was a rolling wilderness, with dense forests and mountains. And almost every once in a while, the landscape below completely changes.

It was expected to take about a few days, but less than a night had passed, and Lanlos had already seen the extremely conspicuous road signs.

On the horizon in front of the horizon, a tall figure rose from the ground and stood shoulder to shoulder with the sky, woodlands and mountains, all prostrate at its feet.

The World Tree, Shaladashir, the Crown of the Night.

It is the guardian tree of the land and the mother tree of the Valsara Forest. Compared to the collapse of the heavens and the earth after the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the other World Tree planted by the Night Elves in Mount Hyjal, Nordasil, which existed before the Cataclysm, is obviously much older.

However, unlike Nordasil, there is no direct relationship between Shaladasir and the Night Elves, and relevant records are relatively scarce, and Lanlos does not know exactly when it appeared. It is only known that under its influence, this forest, called Valsara, has become the closest thing Azeroth can reach to the Emerald Dream Realm.

It is for this reason that the gods of the wilderness gather in this land, and even the king of the forest, the demigod Cenarius, inhabits here.

Despite the conspicuous figure in sight, it is still a long way to reach Surama through the Varsara Forest.

Lanlos looked at Shaladaniel at the end of his sight, and he was deeply struck by the incomparably large figure in the contrast between the mountains and the woodland. With great difficulty, he touched the feathers on Niko's back, harnessed the phoenix, and sped straight in that direction.

From Sin Asali to Sulama, Saladanir is a must-see landmark, and with such a conspicuous guide, even if you don't have a sense of direction, you will never get lost.

——————————

In the richly decorated room, Kutalos sat back on the soft leather sofa as usual, boredly flipping through the reports of the territory.

The Crow Fortress is located in the western part of the Valsara Forest, on a stretch of high ground that stretches almost the entire length of the hill. Standing on the highest point of the fort, you will be able to overlook the entire forest without any obstructions. Kutalos Ravenkes, the owner of the fortress and the lord of the area.

Although it was built as a military fortress between Sin'asari and Surama, the Raven Fortress was not only responsible for assisting in the defense of the two cities, but Kutalos was also obliged to train the talents and elites of the Night Elf Empire's forces. Whether it was Ravencais's retainers or the squire guards, they all had to undergo rigorous screening and training.

At the same time, because of its special geographical location, Kutalos has another duty on weekdays. That is to protect Shaladasir, to maintain the relationship between the gods of the wilderness and the night elves, and at the same time, to keep an eye on the powerful natural demigods in the forest.

After all, this is the hinterland of the Night Elves, and if these powerful wilderness demigods have any plans against the kingdom and have no defense, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, this responsibility was never mentioned to anyone by Kutalos. This is also the reason why for so many years, he has been able to overwhelm many clansmen and has been the lord of Ravenkes. He was always keenly aware of the meaning behind the Queen's orders.

Knock knock!

"Lord Ravenkeys?" the door opened softly, and a night elf with a deep voice and a calm voice walked into the room.

Seeing this, Kutaros frowned.

Every morning he would work on official documents in his room, a habit that almost the entire non-commissioned officers of the Crow Fortress knew. Latusius is the commander of the arcane forces of the Crow's Keep, the Moon Guard, and he would bother himself at this time, thinking that something was wrong.

"I'm here, just say what's wrong. Putting down the official document in his hand, Kutalos sat up slightly straighter. Maintaining grace and majesty in front of subordinates at all times is a must for a qualified lord.

Latusius also knew that his actions had disturbed the lord, so he didn't talk nonsense, nodded, walked to the opposite side of the desk, and placed a crystal ball in front of Ravenkes.

"The Moon Guard's detection magic has detected an anomaly, and after our investigation, we have discovered that a powerful fire elemental creature is flying from west to east in the direction of Shaladaniel at great speed. ”

As the arcane energy surged, the crystal glowed with a burst of crystal, and soon, the sky and the forest appeared in it. As Latusius flicked his fingertips, the picture quickly zoomed in, and the orange-red figure froze under the sky.

"This is a picture captured by long-distance observation magic, and it is preliminarily speculated that it should be a fire elemental phoenix based on its appearance and size. ”

"Phoenix?" Ravenketh furrowed his brow vigorously, with obvious caution in his tone, "Is it someone from the Sunstrider family?"

As an upper-class elf, he had many opportunities to meet with Darth Rema, and he also knew that this unusual upper-class elf had an unusual interest in ordinary Night People, and often traveled back and forth between major cities.

Rao is like this, and Darth Rema has never directly used the Phoenix to travel. What's the urgency?

"No, it shouldn't be. Latusius shook his head, "In recent months, we haven't received any flight notices involving this airspace, and look here. ”

The image grew larger again, and though it was blurry because of it, Ravenkees could clearly make out the long gray hair, and the skin tone that was clearly different from that of the Night Elves.

Confirming that it was not the nobles of Kadore who were serving the Phoenix, Ravenkes's tone suddenly became stern: "Although I don't know why he was able to serve the Phoenix, I can't let such a powerful fire element approach Shaladaniel. Go, inform Desdell Stareye, intercept him at once, and bring him to me. I'd like to see how this guy stole the Sunstrider's phoenix. ”

That's right, steal. Kutaros would not have believed that the noble nobles of Cadore would share their family honor with a gray-haired and white-skinned alien for no reason.

————————

After several days of long journeys, the inability to enter meditation, and the lack of a magical shield to protect against the cold winds, Lanlos was now looking more and more emaciated.

Niko has always been very excited, compared to the fire elemental plane full of lava and fire, Azeroth's mountains and rivers are majestic, and the scenery is beautiful, it is indeed a good place to have fun. It's a pity that because of the orders of his master, he can't jump into the air and fly at full speed wantonly, and from time to time he has to find a place to land and rest, which is really disappointing.

Lanros was clutching his arms, trying to hold on to the last wisps of warmth on his chest, when he heard Niko's grunt of displeasure, and her frozen face struggled to pull on a bitter smile.

It is equivalent to taking an airplane to open the window, although the height is not so exaggerated, but Lan Luos's body is now very empty, and Rao is original extraordinary physique can't withstand the howling cold wind at a height of hundreds of meters. If Nicol had been allowed to climb and gallop with all his might, I'm afraid he would have been frozen into an ice sculpture long ago.

At this moment, I have to slow down again.

Just as she was thinking, Lanloth's stiff palm trembled and patted the phoenix's back, and Niko understood, with another displeased chirp, slowly lowered her altitude, ready to find an open space to land.

"It came down. ”

In the woodland ahead, on a high ground shaded by a canopy, several Night Elves hiding in the shadows silently focused their attention on the brilliant and hot figure in the air.

"Be prepared. The Moon Guard, who was using long-range observation magic to monitor the target, pulled out his energy and whispered to a few people behind him, "Wait for Captain Stareye to give the signal, launch an attack immediately, and be sure to shoot it down." ”

Several people nodded silently, and then quickly and orderly lifted the pile of grass around them, revealing a four-wheeled wooden cart carved with elf-style patterns. The front wheels are significantly thicker than the rear wheels, which makes the wooden car soar high, and if it moves quickly, there is a high risk of overturning.

Of course, this kind of tool is not used to carry people.

There weren't many other fittings on the body, no saddle or steering wheel, just a pair of tightly closed, flat wings that lay vertically on the wooden car. Although it is also wood, the exaggerated hardness and toughness can be clearly felt from the texture.

And between the wooden wings, there is a three-pointed bladed oversized dart.

Blade Thrower, a heavy weapon with an extremely wide range of Night Elves. The three sharp blades embedded at equal angles will rotate extremely quickly in the air while the blade throwing cart throws them out, and with such size and weight, it can easily completely empty the entire straight line of trees hundreds of meters away in an instant.

That powerful penetrating power can easily cut it into two pieces the moment it touches the flesh and blood. Not to mention people, even if it is a giant dragon, in the face of the attack of the blade car, it is not very daring to make a hard connection.

Although it does not have the same wide coverage as the artillery's area attacks, the Blade Cart's attacks can easily break through trees or other cover, are more silent, and the weight of wooden structures can be easily transferred.

Several well-trained Night Elves quickly adjusted the angle of the blade throwing car, and slowly aimed at the figure in the air that had landed quickly.

"It's now!"

After a moment of silence, the crystal in the Moon Guard's hand suddenly bloomed with a brilliant brilliance, and almost at the same time, he let out a loud shout, and the Night Elf in charge of shooting immediately picked up the sledgehammer and slammed down the buckle on the rear of the throwing cart.

With a dull crash, the car's wings suddenly spread out to the sides at breakneck speed, pulling the rope and causing the giant blade to spin with great acceleration. There was only a whistling sound, and almost at the same time as the wings were fully extended, the blade was driven by the rope and sped forward along the track.
