Menethil's Power

Chapter 29 Quel'Thalas Burning
Much of Quel'Thalas is covered in vast forests.High-level spirits retain some habits similar to their distant relatives on Kalimdor, and seem to have a special preference for trees.In addition to maintaining the concentration of mana, the force field covering this elf kingdom also plays an important role in creating a suitable environment for trees to grow.These giant trees have grown quietly for thousands of years in a high-magic environment, but now they are facing catastrophe.

A huge crimson beast streaked across the sky, spraying flames wantonly, and everywhere it passed was a sea of ​​flames.Seeing that it was about to hit a golden barrier, the orc on the dragon's back suddenly pulled the reins hard to force the mount under his crotch to move in the same direction, and at the same time made a rude gesture in the direction of Silvermoon City.The Horde's relentless offensive came to an abrupt end in front of Silvermoon City, and Doomhammer had to order to stay and recuperate.The newly recruited Dragon Riders were entrusted with the task of patrolling and setting fires in order to cause trouble for humans and elves.

Alleria, who witnessed all this, clenched her fists tightly. Those ancient trees are like friends to a ranger, so she was very sad.As a hero-level powerhouse, she has the strength to kill a low-level dragon, but the distance is too far.Alleria suppressed her emotions. She had an important mission, and this was not the time for extra trouble.

The orc dragon knight walked away, while Aurelia continued on her way.The female elf walked through the jungle like a female leopard, and soon a huge city shrouded in a golden light curtain appeared in front of her eyes - Silvermoon City.This great city is the heart of Quel'Thalas, almost an unfallen city.

Alleria took out a moon-shaped crystal, passed through the light curtain without any hindrance, and then climbed up the tens of meters high city wall effortlessly, and was pointed at by several bows and arrows, but these vigilant rangers were very Recognizing her soon, they put down their weapons, and the leading male elf said, "It turned out to be you, Alleria, welcome back."

The elf nodded to him absently. "Hi, Lor'themar, where's Sylvanas?" she asked hastily.

"The general is patrolling the Shepherd's Gate." After receiving the answer, Alleria turned around and left. Lor'themar, who wanted to say something, could only shut his mouth in embarrassment, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. For some reason, he was easily ignored since he was a child. It exists, but you get used to it over time.

Sylvanas is the main person in charge of the defense of Silvermoon City. She has the same outstanding appearance and capable abilities as her elder sister Alleria. The two sisters can be said to be the most outstanding women in Silvermoon City.The general of Silvermoon City was adjusting his longbow when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. Looking back, it was indeed the reckless Alleria. Cirvanas couldn't help showing a smile, "Did you have a good time? dear sister."

"As a tourist, it's really terrible." Alleria said, the two sisters who looked alike stood together to form a bright scenery, but the elf soldiers around didn't look sideways and didn't dare to take a second look. "How is it going?"

"Silvermoon City is impenetrable," Cirvanas shrugged. "We don't need to do anything at all. Those monsters can't break through the barrier of Silvermoon City, even if they ride fire-breathing red lizards."

"But they are burning our forests and slaughtering our compatriots! You must be ready to fight at any time, Sylvanas." Alleria said seriously, "We can't stay in Silvermoon City forever, The enemy must be driven from Quel'Thalas as soon as possible."

"You don't need to remind me, sister." Cirvanas deliberately emphasized the word "sister". Both of them are ranger generals, so Cirvanas is not as convinced by Vereesa as her elder sister. "His Majesty Anasterian is discussing with the council. If you want to report something, go to Sunfury Tower, but I don't think they will listen to you."

It has been more than 7000 years since the founding of Quel'Thalas, but its ruling status has remained stable and has never changed.The Sunstrider royal family still held the power in name, but the nobles almost monopolized the magic resources and had overwhelming power over the lower classes.Although the royal family is not a decoration, it cannot compete with the entire noble family.Thus it was not the Elven Kings but the Council of Silvermoon that decided the fate of Quel'Thalas, and had been for [-] years.

The consequence of this unhealthy understanding is that the work efficiency is extremely low, which is why Quel'Thalas was almost unprepared even though he had received the news a few months ago.At this time, the Sunfury Tower said that a military meeting was being held, but it looked more like a leisurely salon. There was a beautiful wine glass in front of all the nobles, and Alleria could clearly hear the two congressmen beside him Talk about the art of engraving.

The intrusion of the elf ranger brought a discordant atmosphere to the salon. The nobles stopped talking and focused their attention on the female elf who was standing upright.Anasterian, who was seated at the top, stood up, "What news do you bring, Alleria?" He asked majestically.

Alleria took a deep breath and looked up at Anasterian.This king has been in power for more than three thousand years, and now he is almost at the end of his life. His long hair has turned white, and his skin is like parchment, like an old piece of wood.He looked frail already, but his blue eyes still had a hint of authority, and his voice was equally authoritative. "I have brought vital news, news about our enemies and allies." Alleria tried her best to stabilize her voice.

The old king motioned her to go on. "The news that humans sent a year ago is true. Now the enemy outside Silvermoon City is the Horde, a violent group composed of orcs from another world." Alleria glanced at the nobles present, "Their goal is To conquer the world, and to do so they will join forces with our greatest enemies - the trolls."

There was a huge commotion in the conference room. Alleria and the others calmed down and continued, "Fortunately, we don't need to fight alone. Human reinforcements have arrived in Quel'Thalas. They are at war with the Horde. We must send troops immediately support."

"Please wait a moment, ma'am." A nobleman with a smile said suddenly. Alleria knew him, a disgusting guy named Darkan. "You mean you let humans in without a permit?"

"Those orcs also didn't get permission when they entered the country." Alleria countered.

"I think Alleria's behavior is within her authority and very appropriate." Anasterian spoke.Darkan immediately changed the subject and continued to attack, "You didn't disclose all the information, you concealed that the tribe has the ability to manipulate the red dragon."

The councilors exclaimed. All the elders here have participated in the battle of the ancients, so they have a clear understanding of the strength of the Dragon Clan.Darkan was very satisfied with this effect, and he looked at Alleria with a little complacency.

"This is exactly what I want to state," the female elf's eyes burst into anger. "The tribe only has the ability to enslave low-level dragons. The dwarf griffin knights on Eagle's Nest Mountain are enough to deal with them."

"Humans, dwarves," Dar'Khan thought thoughtfully, "When did the high elves fall to the point of needing the charity of these lower races?"

"You seem to have forgotten who helped us fight the trolls 3000 years ago."

"It is undeniable that when we were alone, but those humans were also fighting for their own survival, not to mention that we also took out the most precious magical knowledge as a reward." Darkan said boldly, and his words quickly received a lot of support. echo.He turned to face the parliamentary seat, "We are the noblest and most powerful race on this continent, we can easily drive those bugs out of our homes. Silvermoon City's barrier is unbreakable, why should we give up our greatest advantage and To let our precious people sacrifice in vain?"

The nobles all agreed, and Darkan's smile became more confident. He didn't give Aurelia a chance to speak. "Since those lower races are willing to show their bravery, we might as well be beautiful adults, and then destroy that so-called tribe with thunder when they realize that they are overwhelmed." He spread his hands, "After all, in my opinion, Those humans are also not to be trusted, and they have been plotting against our magic."

Alleria looked at Dar'Khan in disbelief, "Coward!" she scolded, "Our homeland is burning, our compatriots are howling, and you think we should sit idly by in this turtle shell?"

"Your statement is not true." Dar'Khan was not angry. "According to your information, the main force of the Horde is fighting against the Alliance in front of Silvermoon City, so it is impossible to cause too much damage to other areas of Quel'Thalas. .And once they have the idea of ​​changing the attack target, we can launch a fatal blow while they are marching. So, initiate a vote, Your Majesty the King." He looked at Anasterian.

There was no expression on the old king's face, but he still initiated a vote according to his words.Unsurprisingly, Darkan won more than two-thirds of the votes, in which case even Anasterian didn't have a veto power.

Alleria felt that her chest was about to burst, "I'll take my leave first." She said, and then left the Sunfury Tower at an extremely fast speed, heading straight for the Shepherd's Gate, and saw Xi'an in the distance. Sylvanas she shouted: "Sylvanas! Gather all the troops we can mobilize!"

The general of Silvermoon City was obviously frightened, "Are you going to rebel?"

"How is that possible." Alleria, who rushed in front of Cirvanas, tapped her on the forehead angrily, and then said seriously, "Those stupid councilors chose to stand still, and now the Quel'Thalas Destiny depends only on the two of us."

"You must be crazy." Sylvanas rubbed his forehead and murmured, "But it looks like I'm going crazy too. Lor'themar!" She regained her ranger-general momentum in an instant, "Call all rangers , and find someone to invite Halduron of the Farstrider!"

"Correct idea," said Alleria, who was very satisfied with her sister's decisiveness. Halduron Brightwing of the Farstrider Legion should be the only discerning person who can win over at this time.At least she doesn't have to fight alone. This is the only good news so far. She relaxes and looks to the southwest again. She is running around with her compatriots, but she can't take care of her hometown and family. Lilas, Wen Lei Sa and everyone in Fengxing Village, I sincerely hope that you are safe and sound, Alleria began to pray silently in her heart.
