When Saljan and Valera entered the Emerald Dream together, Quel'Salas, far away in the northernmost part of the Eastern Kingdom, someone happened to be discussing something related to them.

Even with a flying mount, it took more than a month to fly most of Kalimdo.

After the end of the Second Orc War, the once-united alliance fell apart due to the continuous manipulation of Terenus Minahir.

Gilnes, Stormgard, and Kul Tiras broke away in anger, and Quel'Salas took the opportunity to quit the group, which had gone sour.

However, the political struggle in the rear did not affect the officers and men at the front for the time being.

The main forces of the Alliance, led by Tulayan, are still stationed in the Cursed Lands, closely monitoring the movements of the Dark Gate.

The war is over, and for the sake of food consumption, there is no need to hoard too many troops in the Land of Organization.

When the armies of the nations began to return, Sylvanas also led the Ranger troops to begin their return journey.

Winlessa and Lyras are among the returning party, with the Windrangers missing their eldest sister, Aurelia.

Sylvanas, Winlessa, and Lyras are part of the Ranger Force, and are regular troops that must act on orders from their superiors.

But Aurelia is different, she is the leader of the Far Wanderers, and has a lot of autonomy, and the Far Wanderer Rangers under her command do not directly follow the orders of the Sun King.

The mages, led by Khadgar, Kel'thugad, and Dredden, have come to the conclusion and are trying to close the Dark Gate.

Aurelia decided to stay in the Cursed Lands for a while, and she always felt that the tribe would not admit defeat so honestly.

When the 7th year of the Dark Gate arrived, Saljan and Valilla had just entered the Emerald Dream when Melia Starling, who was far away in the Tower of the Morning Star in the Eversong Forest, suddenly received an encrypted arcane message.

"It's ......"

Melia, who was located at the observatory at the top of the tower, frowned in confusion, using the equipment of the Tower of the Morning Star to analyze the source of the signal.

“…… Kalimdo? No way. ”

After many calculations, Melia's results were all similar.

The encrypted signal came from Kalimdor on the other side of the ocean, and the information it contained was even more incredulous.

"Hiss~ The upper elves who have survived from ancient times to the present...... You're not kidding me, are you? ”

The full text of the message is not long, but the content is strong enough.

A group of high-class elves calling themselves Sindra wanted to relocate to Quel'Thalas, and commissioned Meria to get a glimpse of the Sun King's mouth, with the signs of Sarean and Valeera attached.

Such an important matter, even a person like Melia who is not in tune does not dare to assert it.

Meria had always been a loner, and she had a poor relationship with those noble mages in Silvermoon City, and the Morning Star Tower, far away in the southern part of the forest, received no one to detect the signal.

After hundreds of years, Melia teleported back to Silvermoon City after a long absence.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the big events she once caused have gradually been forgotten, and the people on the street have long been unable to recognize this person who was once called "witch" by countless people.

Pulling on her hood and hurrying away, Melia got in touch with the royal archmage Roman through the communication channels she had left behind, and entered the palace that night to meet the Sun King and Prince Kael'thas.

"Sarjan?"

Hearing this name, Anastria, which was originally a little lazy, immediately sat up straight.

"Kael'thas, get the message out."

"Yes, Father."

The prince of Quel'Salas, Kael'thas, returned to China half a year ago, and after a series of open and secret battles, he finally gained a foothold in the country and began to attack the traditional nobles represented by the Silvermoon Council step by step.

This tug-of-war off the table is difficult, the power of the traditional aristocracy is deeply entrenched, and the royal family of the Sunchaser can only do their best to win over the meritorious nobles who have risen after the battle of the trolls.

Among them are the Deep Shadow family and the Sangunar family.

After the end of the Battle of Quel'Thalas, the four nobles gradually lost their ground, and the minor nobles who bet on the Silver Moon Council took their place.

Of course, it is impossible for the four nobles to watch the family decline, but it is not possible to recover the vitality of a large number of radical clansmen at one time.

If they don't want to be crushed by the tide of the times, they have to choose between the royal family and the traditional aristocracy.

According to common sense, the four nobles, who are the apex of the traditional aristocracy, should naturally stand on the side of the Silver Moon Council.

The problem is that the radical faction has been secretly executed by Anastria, and the more moderate faction that is more inclined to cooperate with the royal family remains.

Most of the young generation of the four nobles, such as Mattis Firehawk and Solanlian Morningstar, stood firmly on the side of the royal party.

Taking this as a breakthrough, Anastria and Kael'thas adopted a strategy of combining vertical and horizontal to divide the four nobles who were originally united, and completely brought the Flame Eagle family and the Morning Star family together.

The Sun King and the prince moved very quickly, and the two acted separately, changing the overall situation overnight, and the traditional nobles did not react at all.

Seeing that Yan Ying and Morning Star, who were both old rivals and old friends, moved their butts first, the Sun Shadow Family and the Fire Feather Family immediately panicked, and they also threw themselves into the arms of the Wang Party one after another under the old king's silent means.

The four nobles all joined the royal faction, and the balance of power between the royal court and the traditional nobles finally appeared to be obviously unbalanced.

At this point, the situation of the internal struggle in Quel'Salas gradually became clear.

While the traditional aristocracy, based on the Silvermoon Council, is still resisting, anyone who knows the truth behind the scenes knows that their time is running out.

In order to prevent the traditional aristocracy from taking risks, Anastria showed the courage of his youth for a long time.

He mobilized all the four major legions to camp near Silvermoon City, and quickly recalled the main force of the ranger force from the front line, blocking all possibilities for the opponent to jump over the wall.

In order not to let this internal struggle affect Quel'Salas too much, Anastria did not want to push it too quickly, and he planned to boil frogs in warm water.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, the tired Sun King was preparing to rest for a while.

Melia, who has lived in the "countryside" for a long time, brought a bombshell news at this time.

"Sindra ...... of Eresaras"

Anastria's increasingly cloudy eyes flashed with memories: "When I was a child, I heard my great-grandfather Darth Rema mention them. ”

"Before deciding to cross east, Darth Rema sent someone to Erezaras to try to get in touch with Sindra and invite them to leave Kalimdor together."

"Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end."

Anastria shook her head with a smile: "I didn't expect that thousands of years later, I would hear Sindra's name again, and they even took the initiative to ask to join Quel'Thalas. ”

"Heh~ Sarjan, following the in-depth cooperation with Kul Tiras, this little guy has brought us another surprise."

Kael'thas also smiled, "Maybe this is the so-called luck, Sarian himself may not have much forethought, but what he did benefit Quel'Thalas." ”

Melia, who hadn't been in the political inner circle for a long time, didn't know what the king's father and son were talking about, but she didn't ask much.

Archmage Romans asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, what ...... about this matter?"

Anastria's right hand rested on the arm of the chair to support the side of his face, and he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Exactly! The matter was left to Prince Kael'thas to take sole responsibility. ”

"Remember, don't make a noise, treat these Sindra Scholars as a secret card, and play them out when necessary."

After learning the way of thick black with his father for half a year, Kael'thas quickly understood what he meant, and smiled knowingly: "Yes, father, I will let them stay in the south of the forest for the time being." ”

"Melia."

Melia, who was a little distracted, hurriedly bowed her head and responded, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please command." ”

Kael'thas smiled meaningfully at her, "Your Tower of the Morning Star is in disrepair, it's time to expand the interior space." ”

"Starting tomorrow, the royal family will secretly provide you with all the resources you need to expand the Mage Tower, and be sure to make arrangements for your guests from afar."

'Hey~ My quiet and leisurely days are probably gone forever. ’

Melia complained bitterly, but on the surface she still maintained a respectful attitude and took the task.

Compared to the last time she was separated from Sarean, Anastria's face became even older.

After Melia left, he turned his head to look out the window at the starry night sky, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That kid is really fast, he just arrived in Kalimdor and did such a big thing."

Kael'thas joked, "I'm looking forward to his next moves, and I hope he can continue to convince the Night Elves to ally with Quel'Thalas." ”

The Sun King couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe~ Those distant relatives who hate arcane arts are not so easy to give up their stubborn ideas, but ......"

"The Boy of Salian has always played his cards out of the ordinary, with his blood ties to the Dragons, and the friendly relationship between the Dragons and the Night Elves...... Who knows? ”

"Let's wait with anticipation." (To be continued)
