Chapter 275: A Fool Falling from the Sky
On the way up the mountain with Emeryll, Sarayan finally had time to read the information provided by the barrage in detail.
The Hidden Pathways is a secret organization made up entirely of hunters, sentinels, and rangers, founded by Sentinel Namulia Ringo shortly after the end of the War of the Ancients.
The Hidden Pathway is a completely hidden secret organization, where all prospective members are personally invited by the current leader and subject to rigorous trials and a special oath before they can officially join the organization.
The Hidden Pathways were originally established to monitor and fight the Burning Legion and protect the peace and tranquility of Azeroth, and the first leader, Namulia Ringo, lived this idea with his own life.
As early as the first battle of the quicksand a thousand years ago, Namulia, who led the secret passage to participate in the battle, unfortunately died in Angela.
The current leader, Imeryl Shadowguard, is one of Namulia's apprentices, and she is the only core member of the Hidden Pathways who survived the Battle of the Quicksands.
The barrage station gave an evaluation from an objective point of view.
Compared to her mentor Namulia, Imeriel's personal strength is mediocre, and she is self-aware of it.
Thousands of years ago, when Quel'Salas was founded, Namulia sent Imerel to lead a group of members of the Hidden Pathways to the Eternalsong Forest to help the High Elves who were overwhelmed by the trolls of the forest.
At that time, the High Elf general who was responsible for defending against the attacks of the forest trolls was none other than the first Ranger General of Quel'Thalas, the ancestor of the Windranger family, and the first holder of the Sardora Artifact Longbow, Taranas Windranger.
As a result of the good karma forged at that time, members of the Windranger family were secretly invited to join the Hidden Path.
Riresa Windrunner has been a member of the Hidden Passage for thousands of years, but due to the special rules of the Hidden Passage, she has not informed her children of the news.
The new generation of Windrangers has a total of 4 children, excluding the younger brother Lyras, who is still working hard to level up, and the three Windranger sisters have all entered the scope of Emeryll's investigation, but they have never found a chance to officially contact them.
Not long ago, Winlessa, the third sister of Windranger, led some elite rangers to accompany Prince Kael'thas on an expedition to the Broken Isles.
Dozing off just as someone sent a pillow, Imeriel, who learned the news, quietly contacted Wen Leisa, which is also the reason behind Wen Leisa's sudden desire to go out for a walk.
While Sarjan and the others were still discussing the creation of the Paladin Force with Prince Kael'thas in Shar Ayland, Winresa had already arrived at the Marksman's Camp at the Supreme Ridge Eagle Claw.
She successfully passed the trials of Imeryll and was officially sworn to be a member of the Hidden Pathway.
The barrage also mentions in passing that Sheldis Hazuki, the sentinel general known to Salian and Valeera, is also a member of the Hidden Path.
Emeryll, who knew that her abilities were limited, had always wanted to find the right leader for the Hidden Pathway, but most of the members she had recruited over the years had their own jobs to do, and they couldn't serve the Hidden Path wholeheartedly.
Therefore, the position of leader of the Hidden Pathway still rests on Imerel's head, and the other members have no objection to this.
In their eyes, Imeriel's strength is indeed limited, and she cannot be a strong leader in the front of the army, but she is quite successful in overall management.
Moreover, Imerel has been dedicated and conscientious in dealing with the work of the Hidden Path, and in this respect he is also a qualified leader.
Salian agrees that it is not necessary for a person with superior combat strength to become the leader of the organization, as long as he can show his leadership skills, even a helpless person can act as a spiritual leader.
Originally, outsiders like Sarian and Valera were not allowed to enter the marksman's camp, but they witnessed the liberation of Kaesong by Sulama, and Imerel felt a lot about it.
She began to reflect on whether the Hidden Pathways should also change to a certain extent and readjust to this changing world.
The Marksman Camp is located on Eagle Talon Peak, west of the Supreme Ridge, and has been the headquarters of the Order since the establishment of the Hidden Pathway.
Over the years, the rulers of the High Ridge, the Kaolin tribes, have consistently given strong support to the Hidden Path.
In the barrage, the marksman camp is jokingly called a farmhouse.
Salian didn't quite understand the meaning of the term, and after reaching the peak, he didn't have time to ask the barrage for details.
"Intruder! Eat Me a Shot! ”
Just as Imerel was about to brief the three of Saljan about the Marksman's camp, a behemoth suddenly jumped from the roof of the camp's main building, which was in the style of the Night Elves.
Since it had been confirmed in advance that the Hidden Passage was a friendly party, Sarian did not raise any vigilance at all during the climb.
After hearing the sound, he looked up and watched, and a large man who appeared to be a minotaur smashed a long-handled gun down on the head.
Imerel also noticed this scene, and hurriedly changed his face and shouted: "Ulan! Stop it! ”
"Huh?"
At the last moment, the big man, known as Ulan, turned the blade of his gun in a different direction and struck the unresponsive Salian on the forehead with the blade of the gun.
"Hmm!"
The dizzy Salrian staggered back two steps while covering his forehead, and Valera and Stella Gosa, who had been in a calm state, showed a fierce aura at the same time, glaring angrily at the "villain" who was hiding in the shadows and attacking.
Even Tina Gosa's puffed up her body was filled with arcane energy, and she was about to break through the illusion disguise and turn back into her original form as a young dragon.
"Hiss~ wait!"
Salian held the two of them in pain, and looked at the bewildered sneak attacker with an unkind look.
Imerel stood on tiptoe in exasperation and slammed it on the big man's head who realized he was in trouble.
"What are you thinking,! How could the person I personally bring over be an intruder! ”
"Ah, this ......"
The big guy with a silly face smirked embarrassedly, and sincerely bowed his head to apologize to the injured Sarren.
"I'm sorry! It's me who is too reckless! ”
Salian was indeed a little annoyed by being attacked inexplicably, but when he saw the not-so-smart expression on this fool's face, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.
"Forget it, I didn't get hurt anyway."
"What is it really compared to the second goods......
Imerel knew Ulan's strength very well, and although he had withdrawn a lot of strength in the end just now, it was not something that just an ordinary person could bear.
Not only did Salian eat the attack head-on, but he also looked like he was fine.
The redness and swelling on his forehead quickly dissipated in just a few minutes, and this physical fitness and recovery ability made Imerel look a little stunned.
After Imeril's introduction, Sarian and the others finally knew the identity of this fool who hid on the roof and attacked him.
Ulan Gaoling, a member of the Hidden Path, is also the young patriarch of the Gaoling clan and the heir to the next Great Chief.
Valera was glad that Sallian had held him back at the critical moment and hadn't let her attack Ulan on impulse.
The main purpose of the Sarian and the others coming to Zhigaoling this time was not to travel and relax, but to establish friendly relations with the Takamine Minotaurs.
If there is a conflict with their young patriarch here, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a lot of twists and turns in the future.
Under Wen Lesa's introduction, both the Hidden Passage and the Sarian side have some basic understanding of each other.
Knowing one of the purposes of the three of Saljan's trip, Imoryel introduced Ulan Kaolin to them.
The Kaolin clan is the collective name of the four major Minotaur clans that rule over the highest ridge.
These four clans are led by the Gaoling Clan, which sits on the Thunder Totem, and is assisted by the Rivermane, Tianjiao, and Blood Totem clans, which each occupy a portion of the land of Zhigaoling.
Ulan Kaolin is the next leader of the Kaolin clan and the reserve chief of the Kaolin clan.
The current Grand Chief, Mulla Gaoling, is very old, and because of the old injuries he suffered in the early years of the war, his energy has not been as good as before in recent years, and he has begun to deliberately cultivate Ulan, hoping that he can take over his position as soon as possible.
But...... As Salian and the others had seen, Ulan was simple by nature, and there were not so many twists and turns in his mind, and he still lacked some heat to become the great chief of the Kaolin tribe.
The Gaoling tribe has always maintained close cooperation with the Hidden Path, and although Gaoling has a strong smell of gunpowder recently, it is still relatively peaceful overall, and there are not many places for Ulan to exercise.
…… In fact, I am afraid that this fool will accidentally break the delicate balance of the Supreme Ridge.
For many reasons, Mura handed over his silly son to Imerel to toss, allowing him to accumulate more experience through the tasks given by the Secret Pathway, hoping that he would mature as soon as possible.
But judging from the current situation...... It doesn't seem to be going well.
