Chapter 1094 - The Dog Can't Change ......
The people of Quel'Thalas never believed in gods, and almost all of the High Elves believed in the Well of the Sun, which brought them everything.
However, in a fantasy world like Azeroth, where supernatural powers exist, even sane High Elves believe in some mystical things.
The new Archmage's breakthrough before the Duke of the Deep Shadow was about to lead his army across the sea to Kalimdor was a good omen to most of the High Elves.
Leaving aside the question of whether Gianna, who is Sarren's partner, counts as a Quel'Salas.
When Silvermoon City was in a state of jubilation due to the birth of a new archmage, Gianna, who had successfully broken through, had already appeared outside the gate of the Deep Shadow Mansion using a short-range teleportation technique.
Gianna, who had just broken through, was still unable to perfectly control the powerful mana in her body, and her eyes shone with a rich blue-purple arcane glow as she held the staff of Elunis.
"Papa~"
As Gianna's mentor, Kael'thas was the first to applaud her with satisfaction: "Well done, Gianna, you have once again exceeded my expectations. ”
"I believe that the day when you will surpass me and continue to make great strides will not be too far away, and I am proud to have taught you."
Gianna gracefully lifted the hem of her robe and curtled to Kael'thas: "Without the careful teaching of my mentor and the selfless provision of Quel'Thalas's large collection of books, I would not have been able to achieve what I am today. ”
Salian stepped forward with a smile and interrupted the business exchange between the two: "Okay, that's all for the polite words." ”
"Your Majesty the Sun King, let's go into the house and talk in detail?"
"Nope."
Kael'thas smiled bitterly and sighed: "Thanks to you, I still have a lot of work to deal with, next time I have time, I'll go back to the royal court to continue working." ”
An apologetic expression appeared on Salian's face: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Your Majesty. ”
Kael'thas smiled and turned around and waved his hand, "Where, this is my duty as a king. ”
"I should thank you for giving me a chance to keep busy after Akmund's arrival."
The archmages present were all human spirits, and they could hear the deep meaning of Kael'thas words.
As high-end talents in Quel'Thalas, the Archmages knew how attractive the Sunwell was to Akmund and the Burning Legion.
Saljan had previously made a terrible assumption in front of all of Quel'Salas's higher-ups.
The arrival of Akmund on Azeroth was a plan of the Burning Legion, and the fraudster Kilgardan behind it will do whatever it takes to achieve this goal.
The Scourge is his tool to achieve his goals.
In order to summon a demon lord of Akmund's level to Azeroth, a huge amount of energy is required.
It stands to reason that the Scourge should have gathered all their forces to attack Quel'Thalas and capture the Sunwell.
With Sarean's skillful manipulation, Quel'Salas perfectly avoided this possible future.
Kael'thas took the initiative to give a large dose of pure solar well water to Kel'thugad through secret channels, claiming that the well water had drained the energy of the solar well in a short period of time.
This prevents the Scourge and the Burning Legion from directing their next move to Quel'Thalas, who is already "useless", and instead turns their attention to the World Tree on the other side of the sea, Nodashir.
In fact, the water from the sunwell that was given to Kelsugad did temporarily drain the sunwell.
However, the duration of this "temporary" is not as long as outsiders think, and it only takes 1-2 months to basically restore energy production.
If it weren't for the miracle Goa Kandol that Sarian had brought back and popularized in advance, a large number of heartless people suffering from demon addiction would have been born in Quel'Salas in just 2 months.
Once again, the Quel'Salas hierarchy, including Kael'thas, was impressed by Sarren's foresight.
As Sarren initiates the long-prepared plan to divert the Flames, Akmund and the main force of the Burning Legion are unsurprisingly guided to Kalimdor.
With only the Scourge Legion in the absence of the elite, Quel'Thalas has much less pressure to bear...... Not to mention that within the Scourge Legion, there are also two or five boys that Sarian has buried a long time ago.
Based on the current situation in Azeroth, Sarian suggested that Kael'thas split Quel'Thalas's forces into three.
The largest number of these elites were led by Sarjan himself, who would sail across the Broken Isles to meet the Children of the Night and the Kaolin Minotaurs, and then unite to Kalimdor to reinforce the Night Elves.
Aurelia volunteered to join the army shortly after returning to Quel'Thalas to reunite with her family, accompanied by high-ranking generals such as Ranger General Sylvanas and Morning Striker Commander Liadrin.
The Second Army was to remain at Quel'Salas just in case, concentrating its main defensive forces on the Salas Gate, on the border with East Wild, led by Laras Windranger, who had recently been urgently redeployed from Northrend.
Compared with the other two armies with important tasks, the pressure on the remaining Laras is relatively light.
Under the leadership of Kel'thugad and Baron Rivendell, the chances of the Scourge remaining in the Eastern Kingdoms attacking the already "worthless" Quel'Salas are slim.
The Third Army was led by Winlessa, who was familiar with Northrend's environment, and consisted mainly of the garrison of Northrend's New Shandara and the Northern Expeditionary Army of Kultilas, in addition to the covert support of the Nilub Bugmen who were lying in ambush underground.
The main purpose of this army is to ensure that Solas Torbain can successfully pluck the peaches at the necessary time, and take advantage of the battle between the Burning Legion and the Scourge led by Tikdios, so as to make a move for the benefit of the snipe and the fisherman.
Unfortunately, the Night Elf Pioneer Force, led by Vandal Deerhelm, had recently been called back to Kalimdor to assist in the defense, and could not attack Icecrown from both sides, but it didn't hurt.
Without the tremendous pressure exerted by Akmund in the near future, Kael'thas could sit in Silvermoon City and provide sufficient logistics for the tripartite battlefield with his hands and feet.
After seeing off the busy Kael'thas and the archmages who had come to congratulate him, Sarjan did not immediately return to Sunsail Harbor, but stayed behind to discuss his next plans with Gianna, who was still trying to control the spilled arcane energy.
Gianna asked a little depressed, "It's hard to become an archmage, can't I really follow you to Kalimdor?" ”
Sallian gently rubbed Gianna's long bright golden hair: "You can't control your strength well now, and it's very dangerous to go to the battlefield at this time." ”
"Just because you're in the back doesn't mean you have nothing to do, on the contrary, you'll have a lot to do."
Sarjan said to Gianna, "Do you remember what we saw in Dalaran before? Ronin, who was striving for reform, was entangled in the old school and was never able to show his strength, and even the issue of sending troops to reinforce Kalimdor this time was not able to pass the parliament. ”
Speaking of this, Gianna also straightened her face: "I know what to do, I need to meet Mentor Antonidas first." ”
Salaan smiled and gave Gianna a hug, "Go, I hope that the next time you meet in Kalimdo, you will be able to control your power as the new Senator of Kenrito." ”
……
Despite its name as the Magic Kingdom, Dalaran is actually a very liberal independent city-state.
Except for the city of Dalaran, which has been transformed into a floating city, the territory under the rule of the Kingdom of Dalaran is not large, only a small circle around the satellite town of Ambermir.
The mages of Dalaran have always done their own thing, but they at least know the truth of survival and death.
After learning that the main force of the Burning Legion had descended with Akmund, the mages who had been left to study near the Dark Gate returned to Dalaran one after another.
However, on the issue of the allocation of these mages, Speaker Ronin disagreed with Modra and other councillors.
It's still an old problem, even with the support of the Isaac Sunsnatchers, Ronin can only be annoyed that the votes are equal with the old legislators, and no one can convince anyone.
If the previous discussion of the reform of Dalaran's cabinet was just a difference of ideas between the two sides, this time the old-school archmages such as Modra are a bit of a bit of a matter of taking the overall situation of the world into a situation.
They hoped to use this to force the responsible Ronin to make concessions on the replacement of the councillors, and the archmage Vargos recommended by them to join the Kenrito Council.
However, once Vargas, who has a conservative stance, joins, the balance of power that can barely be maintained will be immediately broken, and Ronin, the speaker of the parliament, will become a rubber stamp, at the mercy of Modra and others.
Ronin, who is determined to revitalize Dalaran with reforms, cannot tolerate this happening, but considering the situation in Kalimdor, he can't play a political game with the safety of Azeroth like the faceless and skinless Modra.
If Gianna hadn't taken that step, Ronin would have been forced to give in in eventually, but it was clearly not in the interests of Ronin himself and Quel'Thalas.
Not only is Sarlian eagerly waiting for Gianna to break through, but Ronin has also been waiting eagerly for his old friend to deliver good news from Quel'Thalas as soon as possible.
Just as Modra, Ainsleem, and Kalayin were trying to press on each other, a huge "bad news" suddenly fell on the heads of the conservative councillors.
Gianna Prodmore, who had high hopes from Antonidas and Ronin, officially broke through to become an archmage in Quel'Thalas, and at the moment she was "gossiping" with her mentor in Antonidas' hermitage.
"How is this possible!"
Ka Laiyin scratched his grassless head a little frantically: "Archmage who is only 19 years old?!" Titans are on top! Is this some kind of nasty joke? ”
Ansrem sighed bitterly: "It's come to this, and there's nothing I can do...... Let it go, don't satisfy your selfish desires with the big things that affect the safety of Azeroth, you don't have to be cheeky, I still want it. ”
Modra was silent for a long time before she said with difficulty: "Then let's do it first, the many forces represented behind Gianna are not something we can offend, Luo Ning...... Let's make him happy for a while. ”
Modra gritted her teeth and said, "Dalaran is a magical kingdom that belongs to humans, and the next step is to get rid of that ungrateful foreign lackey first!" ”
"Tell Vargas not to be discouraged, and let him be ready to make up for him at any time."
"The road is still long."
