Chapter 159: Children distinguish between good and evil

The defeated tribe fled all the way south, and the alliance naturally did not let go of this great opportunity. However, at Tulayan's instructions, the Alliance did not rush to pursue, but hung far behind the tribe, driving them towards the depths of the dark swamp like a flock of sheep.

He had long since learned from Khadgar about the existence of the Dark Gate, the defeat of the Great Chief and the collapse of the Horde, and the thousands of orcs would naturally want to go home. Rather than forcing the enemy to jump over the wall and increase the losses, it would be easier to drive them out of this world, and then completely close the passage connecting the two worlds.

Lothar's death was a blow to anyone, but it also inspired them, and the pity for the general and the hatred for the enemy made the soldiers put aside their cowardice and exhaustion, and marched through the impassable swamp without a single complaint.

Although most mounts are difficult to use in such terrain, as a mage, the spells of Lanloth and a group of spellcasters have helped many mounts regain their mobility. Riding a landing bird slowly in front of the troops, Lanlos turned his head and looked at the blonde young man beside him who was holding a broken sword and saying nothing.

Lothar died, and as his deputy, Tulayan naturally carried the banner of the Alliance. Although the latter's victory over Orgrim was stolen by the appearance of Ranros, his leadership and potential as Lothar's lieutenant convinced the majority.

Coupled with the full support of Corporal Uther, Tulayan became the commander of the alliance.

The excellence and fame of this kid does not lie in one or two amazing achievements, but in the commendable outstanding performance from beginning to end.

This point made Lanlos especially envious. Unfortunately, as he told Aurelia, he couldn't be so calm. His pressure is far greater than others think, and he has to be urgent, in every sense of the word.

Looking into the depths of the swamp, the mage's gaze became more and more gloomy: "We have arrived. ”

Khadgar jumped off his mount first, crouching and studying the ground: "It's weird. ”

"Did you find anything?" Tulayan frowned.

"This is also the realm of the Dark Swamp, which should have been wet, dirty, and smelly like the place we had passed before. As he spoke, he tapped the red earth that spread from his feet into the distance, "It's more like stone than dirt." ”

"It's like being roasted by fire. A dwarf with a wide-brimmed fur hat stepped forward, "but ordinary fire can't do that." ”

The dwarf's name was Brian Copperbeard, and unlike his two heavily armed brothers, he was dressed in leather armor and was passionate about archaeology and literature. This makes him and Khadgar like-minded, and the two have contributed a lot to the league's current success during this time.

Then again, the dwarves from Ironforge are the best at stones and gems, and it's a little unsettling that Brian can't even recognize the ground beneath his feet.

No, it's not that he didn't recognize it, but that ......

The dwarf was silent for a long time, and then subconsciously looked at Lanloth, and this action successfully made everyone turn their attention to the latter.

After a brief pause, those eyes flashed with realization, and what followed was a very unified question.

"Evil power. Lanlos did not panic, and slowly stepped forward in the face of everyone's doubts, "This is the power of the devil, and the radiation will gradually take away the life of the land. Everywhere the Burning Legion went, it was the color of destruction. ”

"It was through their power that the orcs opened the door that connected the two worlds. ”

"Not long ago, you used this kind of power, right?" Uther stepped out, the calm elder not showing his thoughts as plainly as the others, his expression and words were flat, but they were full of majesty that could not be ignored.

This majesty lies not only in his character and experience, but also in his recent performance at the foot of the Black Rock Mountain, which not only helped him win the title of 'Messenger of Light', but also made his prestige spread all over the country.

Lanlos didn't deny it, and of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to deliberately draw everyone's hostility to him: "So, I have a way to close their portal." ”

I have to say that Lanlos is still a chicken thief. As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes softened. But he overlooked that not everyone could be detoured into the bend by him.

"But why do you convince us that you're not with them?"

Seeing Muradin's jealous and hateful face, Lanlos rolled his eyes in his heart. is worthy of being a dwarf, this upright temperament is really difficult.

In fact, he knew that most of the people in the alliance would not trust him so easily, but after all, he had defeated two of the tribe's generals in one fell swoop not long ago, and it could be said that he was a major contributor to the alliance's victory. Coupled with his previous performances in Stormwind Kingdom, Hillsbrad Hills, and Quel'Thalas, people will have doubts, but they will never express their suspicions about him.

After all, if he really wanted to help the demons, the scale of war would have tilted a long time ago.

But these dwarves who have been blocked by the tribe for many years in Ironforge do not know it. With their hatred of orcs, they can't say that people are unreasonable if they hold on to their braids.

Lanlos was helpless, but he didn't rush to defend himself, he knew that someone would help him with this.

"I believe in him. In the midst of the silence of the crowd, Khadgar stepped forward, "Dalaran and I owe him a favor. ”

Hearing this, Lanlos frowned, but he was a little unhappy. Although he knew that Khadgar was thinking about Medivan's reputation and did not elaborate, it was really easy to blame the trust on 'favors'.

As he thought, while Khadgar was a little embarrassed, the faces of the dwarves and gnomes also changed badly. Fortunately, while Lanlos had no choice but to support his forehead, others also expressed their positions.

Needless to say, although she was a little timid in the face of such a battle, she still walked to Lanloth's side very resolutely. Met the latter's grateful gaze, she glared fiercely, pouting and looking away.

This little girl's anger hasn't disappeared yet.

Lanlos's expression became bitter, and the appearance of Aurelia beside him made him even more inexplicably flustered. As if the fuse was lit, Lotherma, Haduron, Aslan, although many people were skeptical, and although Lanloth's evaluation was polarized in the country, at this moment, at least all the High Elves present chose to believe in this mage.

Not only because he is their kindred, but more importantly, Lanlos has earned their respect for his contribution to Queldore.

Seeing that there were faint signs of division in the army, Tulayan did not wait for Muraddin and Utherdo to say anything, and immediately rushed to the middle of the crowd: "Everyone, now is not the time for conflicts. ”

"I know that Lanloth wields powers that we don't understand, and your fears are right. Looking at his mentor and the warrior of the Copperbeard Dwarf, Tulayan said slowly in a calm and powerful voice, "But from the beginning of the war to the present, his performance is obvious to all, and we can't be suspicious of the heroes of the alliance because of the mustard of unknown forces, let alone provoke internal conflicts at such a critical time." ”

Seeing that his words had made the two elders finally restrain their hostility, Tulayan breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at the mage, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to the elven ranger beside him. A trace of sourness and helplessness welled up in his heart, Tulayan took a deep breath and calmed the waves in his heart with difficulty: "This is a critical time to drive the tribe out of Azeroth in one fell swoop, I need you, and this world needs us to unite and deal with our common enemy. ”

"And they're right in front of us. ”

Clearly capturing the fleeting loss in Tulayan's eyes, Lanlos glanced meaningfully at Aurelia. After a short period of doubt, he didn't think much about it, and took the opportunity to get up and step forward.

"The commander is right. Drawing everyone's mixed eyes back to him, Lanlos looked into the distance, as if he could penetrate the crimson earth and look directly at the tall, pitch-black magical door.

"Just drive the orcs back into their world, and I'll close the Dark Gate as soon as possible. The Horde is our common enemy, and only by defeating them, we have time to discuss these. ”

Seeing that everyone's emotions had finally stabilized, Khadgar also came to him, trying to further strengthen everyone's confidence: "I have basically integrated what the teacher taught, and I can help you." ”

"Nope. Unexpectedly, Lan Luo shook his head very decisively and refused, "I'll do it alone, you try to preserve your strength and ensure the smooth progress of the plan." ”

The temperature around him dropped a few points, and the originally relaxed atmosphere quietly solidified again. In fact, Khadgar's name is more about surveillance, so that others can be at ease. As long as he was with him, Muradin and Uther would certainly not say anything more.

Did this guy not get it? Or did he really ......

"Keep up, Khadgar. It wasn't until Tulayan's voice came that Khadgar realized that the group had continued their journey. As a last resort, he could only keep up with a little uneasiness.

Not far away, Lan Luo glanced quietly at the white-headed young man with a frowning brow, and an extremely faint light flashed in his eyes. The sharpness, and the danger, are creepy.

"I'm sorry. Suddenly, a tall figure blocked his view. As he raised his head, a muscular knight with thick brown hair and beard met his eyes.

"I am the Paladin of the Silver Hand, Tirio Fordin. Seeing the surprise on the other party's face, Tirio thought that the other party didn't know him, so he didn't get angry, but introduced himself very modestly.

"Your Excellency is unfamiliar, we have seen it in the chapel. Nodding his head, Lanlos's every move revealed sincere respect.

Although he was one of the founders of the Silver Hand, Tirio was not well-known at the moment, and he was a little surprised by the other party's performance. However, Tirio, who came from an aristocratic background, quickly restrained his flattery: "Yes, I have a strong memory of that day, especially when the Light came upon you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lanlos instantly understood.

"That's why Uther was just like that. Seeing his enlightened expression, Tirio apologized again, but soon, his expression became serious, "The Holy Light is a noble faith, and it is the supreme glory of the Silver Hand. Not only him, but also my colleagues and those of the Silver Hand cannot understand you......"

Realizing that his words seemed too sharp, Tirio took a deep breath and did not continue. After all, the meaning he wanted to convey was already in place.

"No wonder. Lanloth smiled and glanced at the Lightbringer who was still looking at him from time to time, and without hesitation, he directly removed the Adruin from his waist.

"But you're wrong, and it's not me who chose the Light, it's she who chooses me. ”

"We have a common enemy and a similar hope. A faint golden light appeared in the hollow in the middle of the holy sword Adruin, as if in response to Lanloth.

This scene simply made Ferdin's eyes stunned: "You, you and the Holy Light, are partners?"

"Partner, you're overestimating me. He was impressed by Fordin's shock, but Lanros didn't take the opportunity to fake it, but said meaningfully and thought-provokingly, "I should, it's her bet." ”

Looking at the mage's distant back, Tirio couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Lanlos's description of the Light was completely different from what he had been taught in the church, but the familiar power of holiness could never be faked. His faith, in the Lanlos display, was more like a living creature than a spirit?

Complex and tangled emotions intertwined in his heart, and Tirio lost his mind for a moment. No one knew what kind of impact this conversation would have on this noble paladin.
