193【Encounter】
At noon, the port of Silver Moon City.
The bright sunshine is shining down, the sea is sparkling, and the visibility is excellent.From a distance, you can see the golden light that competes with the sun on the isolated island of Quel'Danas.It has been a week since I obtained a drop of water from the Well of Eternity from the Sun Well.
The magic fluctuations emanating from the Sunwell are getting stronger and stronger, and there are even faint signs of catching up with the heyday.During this time, even the blood elf soldiers fighting in the south of the country could feel with great joy that the magic flowing in their blood was becoming more and more vigorous, and it seemed that the recovery of the Sunwell was just around the corner.
This is undoubtedly great news, especially for those drug addicts who suffer from addiction. It somewhat dilutes the confusion caused by the prince not being in the clan and losing the way forward.
The days are getting better every day.
Since the domestic environment has stabilized, the port of Silver Moon City has become increasingly busy, with a large amount of materials being landed here every day to meet the needs of urban reconstruction work.
Today it is even more of a lively scene.
Sweating workers were busy at the port, and boxes of military supplies were moved to docked warships.Originally, this kind of physical labor was usually done by arcane puppets, but due to the emergency of the war, all puppets of all types were requisitioned by the military, so this kind of work could only be done manually.
Amid the shouts of the officers, groups of soldiers walked towards the dock in neat steps. The boarding team formed three long queues. Whenever a warship was full, it would leave the port and anchor in the open sea, leaving its position. Give way to the remaining ships.
At this time, in the open sea, there are at least a dozen warships that can carry 20 soldiers in addition to sailors and are fully loaded, waiting for the triggering of the large force.There are still a lot of airborne warships, about [-] or so.
These soldiers are the follow-up troops that will go south to participate in coalition combat operations. The total number is about [-].
These soldiers will carry the hope of the blood elves, and together with the tens of thousands of additional troops sent by the other races of the alliance, they will be stationed in the newly recovered ruins of Dalaran. They will become the sword hanging above the heads of the Scourge, constantly threatening on the south shore of Lake Lordaemir. they.
Let them not dare to ignore the threats that are close at hand, and make a detour to attack Quel'Thalas, the Hinterlands and even the Arathi Highlands where the remnants of Lordaeron are entrenched.
After high-level discussions, Halduron Brightwing, who has been promoted to Ranger Lord, will lead this army as the overall commander.The remaining forces in the country will take advantage of the recent defeat of the Scourge Legion and the opportunity to consolidate the defense line on the southern border, and then turn around and completely wipe out the remaining undead in the Ghost Land.
No ethnic group in the north can fight against the natural disaster forces alone. As trust is gradually established, the coalition forces that are truly twisted into a rope will surely become a powerful force to contain the natural disaster forces.
Angmar stood on a high platform, surrounded by civilians who saw off the expeditionary force.
The plan to go to Kalimdor to "search" for the Skull of Gul'dan has been determined and will be carried out at the same time as other plans.Originally, everyone was opposed to this extremely unlikely and dangerous proposal, but they couldn't bear Angmar's insistence on going his own way and had to follow his choice.
While Ronin and the blood elf magisters stay in Dalaran to explore other possible options to open the cross-planet portal, Angmar will lead an elite team to Kalimdor to face the Burning Legion. "Try your luck" to see if you can recover the head of Gul'dan. Everyone thinks this is difficult to achieve.Those artifacts must be held by powerful demons. Everyone urged Angmar not to act rashly when he knew he couldn't do anything, and to ensure his own safety.
As for the manpower for this trip, due to the tight war situation in the north, natural disasters may still attack at any time. It is impossible for each tribe to participate in the war, and there are not many manpower to dispatch.But when they finally saw the list of candidates for Angmar, others were still surprised.
Because he brought too few people.
Angmar already had a clear plan in mind.
The Skull of Gul'dan is in the hands of Tichondrius, and if nothing else happens, it will still be obtained by Illidan Stormrage in the end.
If you want to use it to open the portal to Draenor, you either have to take it from Tichondrius one step ahead of Illidan, but this option is undoubtedly the most dangerous.Tichondrius is the leader of the Dread Lord clan, and his status and strength are far from comparable to those of the three Dread Lords who escaped with two deaths in the Battle of Dawn.
The legendary strongmen of the alliance have important matters and cannot go with Angmar. If they want to achieve this goal, they must rely on Kalim's multi-faceted power.
More importantly, this is a real world.
Any historical process will present more details than the plot he was familiar with in his previous life. He acted rashly relying on his perspective as a time traveler, and in the end he didn't even know how he died.
The second option is to find Illidan in the Tomb of Sargeras in the Broken Islands after he was expelled by his brother Malfurion as much as possible after Illidan obtained the Skull of Gul'dan and absorbed the evil energy in it to become a half-demon. In front of Sargeras, he "borrowed" Gul'dan's head.
Angmar prefers the second option. No matter from which perspective, the possibility of success is greater.But dealing with this maverick post-demon hunter might not be that easy.
Angmar even had the idea that since he had traveled to 1 years ago and participated in the casting of Flamestrike, would he also participate in the War of the Ancients in the near future? Perhaps he would also work with Malfurion and Illidan. What kind of interactions have brothers had?
If this is the case, the success rate of this trip will be much higher.
Angmar will not place all its hopes on uncertain guesses, and will prepare for the worst.
This time I returned to Silver Moon City to confirm the candidates for my followers.
After handing the list to Carlyle, he originally wanted to go home and say goodbye to his family, but when he witnessed the departure of the expeditionary force at the port, he couldn't help but stop and watch.
Two thousand and eight hundred years ago, after the alliance of high elves and humans defeated the Amani trolls, generations of rangers and soldiers firmly suppressed the remnants of the trolls in the southeastern border area of Quel'Thalas, using blood and Life has won a peaceful and happy living environment for the tribe.
Sitting on the Sunwell, long life, long history, and extremely developed civilization
All kinds of unique conditions made the high elves inside the Bandinore barrier start to feel proud. The pride gradually turned into complacency and even arrogance. Most people have forgotten the taste of war.Until a sudden war broke out and trampled all their pride into the mud.
When everything is shattered, the sudden change changes everyone's life drastically.
Decadence, addiction and a series of existential dilemmas ensue.
It is hard to imagine that in just three months, this race that was once struggling on the edge of survival has undergone fundamental changes.
No one will be lazy anymore, and no one will complain about the simple food rations. Everyone will confidently devote all their enthusiasm to the recovery of Quel'Thalas, doing whatever they can, such as dock porters. , workers, or the dirty work that they were unwilling to do when they were once aloof.
Some people may think that in order to survive, they have no choice but to gather in front of the recruitment notice in the city hall and accept the job for a meager remuneration, but Angmar can see hope and longing in people's eyes, which is different from coping. Errands are fundamentally different.
The blood elves have changed.
With repeated victories in wars against the undead in the country, the status of soldiers in the hearts of the people has risen to an unprecedented level.
People gathered quietly on both sides of the road passed by the expeditionary force, chanting blessings and blessings for these good men of Quel'Thalas.
The woman holding the baby in her arms hugged her husband with tears in her eyes, because this farewell was most likely to be an eternal farewell.
People's eyes are full of reverence and reluctance, because these soldiers who are about to travel far will shoulder the important task of isolating the undead from the country and go deep into the front-line battlefield to fight face to face with the undead.
Perhaps when the war is over, when fathers, wives and sons gather at this port again to welcome the return of their loved ones with great expectations, all they will get is a death notice.
Suddenly, a disharmonious scene appeared.
Angmar keenly noticed that a tall girl about ten years old took advantage of the crowd to hug the soldiers of the expeditionary force and approached the supply truck in the team. With a touch, she magically took out a mana crystal and quickly put it in in his arms, and then walked away as if nothing had happened.
a thief
He is also a very skilled thief.
Curiosity prompted Angmar to follow quietly.
The girl's footsteps were very fast. After leaving the crowd, she immediately walked towards the buildings on the south side of the port. She led Angma through the ruins covered with scaffolding for a long time, and finally came to a deserted place.
Although reconstruction has been ongoing, there are still many areas in the city that have not had time to be repaired, such as this area that is filled with high-rise buildings and does not have very good lighting.
Angmar remembered that before the war, this seemed to be a port warehouse used to store goods.
The girl stopped, turned around, cast a disdainful look at Angmar, threw away the mana crystal she had just stolen, and said:
"You have been following me all the way. Your footsteps are so loud. Do you really think I can't hear you? Are you a dock gangster who comes to ask for dirty money, or are you a colleague who is greedy for my harvest? There is no one around here. Why don't we settle it here? ."
The tall girl pulled out a sharp dagger like a magic trick.Having said that, she had no intention of taking a preemptive strike at all. There was still a sneer on her lips, as if she had determined that Angmar could be beaten to the ground without any effort.
Angmar couldn't help but laugh.
Because he was worried about being too conspicuous, Angmar changed into casual clothes before returning to restrain the fluctuations in his mana.In addition, he didn't deliberately cast any spells to hide his whereabouts along the way. He walked like an ordinary person, so he was regarded by this girl as a low-life thief who wanted to take advantage of others.
It looks like she is still a veteran.
When the girl saw that he was silent, she even raised her finger at him. Her delicate facial features were full of provocation, and her expression was somewhat similar to that of Lana Thel, which made Angma feel strange.
When the Eye of Dalaran self-destructed, among those who were teleported to the Outland were Aesas and other princes and the mage, as well as Lana'thel.
She is waiting for her to be rescued.
Angmar's smile slowly faded, and he looked at the girl's shabby clothes. He took out a small bag of gold coins from his arms, opened the bag and gestured to the girl. It only contained gold coins, not dangerous goods, and then tied it up again. Throw the bag away.
I don't know why, maybe because it reminds me of Lana Thel, Angmar has a certain liking for this girl.
The girl reached out to catch the money bag and blinked in surprise, completely confused as to what he meant.
Angmar asked softly: "Do you know that the mana crystal in your hand is the most precious military supply for the soldiers of the expeditionary force?"
He doesn't ask stupid questions like "Why did you steal?"
The girl curled her lips after hearing this, raised her hand and threw the money bag back, and replied: "It turns out that he is a rich kid with a Holy Mother's heart. I don't need your education, so put away your love. This is the hard currency now. Who still uses gold coins?”
As she spoke, she weighed the mana crystal in her hand.
Angmar was stunned. He really didn't know that the status of gold coins had become like this.In fact, if you think about it, under the comprehensive rationing system, there are very few buying and selling activities. At least among the civilians of Silver Moon City, bartering is more popular. The most valuable one is undoubtedly that it can make people drink it beautifully. Mana crystal for a while.Even if the Sunwell is almost restored, no one can have too much of this kind of thing.
"Stay away from me, otherwise I won't mind disfiguring your pretty face." After gesturing with a dagger at Angmar twice, the girl turned and left.
Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, and stopped her movements abruptly. Her eyes kept scanning Angmar's waist. She seemed to have discovered that Angmar's wallet was taken out of the enchanted space bag out of thin air. She looked at her delicate face. Zi showed a smile.
"Sure enough, he is a kid from a rich family. Give me your enchanted space bag, and I won't break your fingers." After saying this, the girl walked towards Angmar, as if she was treating him like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Angmar snapped his fingers helplessly.
With a "pop" sound, the dagger in the girl's hand disappeared and appeared in Angmar's hand. With a gentle squeeze from him, the tough dagger was turned into dust by arcane magic and scattered in the air.
The girl was immediately frightened and turned pale. She knew how tough the dagger that had been with her for a year was. It was a military weapon stolen from a Yonge Ranger. It could cut steel without curling the blade. , but was turned into powder by the spell that the other party picked up at her fingertips, which made her immediately have the idea of escape.
This tall and lanky guy is a mage, and a powerful mage. Damn it, damn it, damn it, it’s going to break, it’s going to break.
But the next second she realized that for such a being, running away was meaningless. Thinking of the other person's kind act of educating her and throwing a bag of gold coins to her, she immediately understood that Angmar was not a The man who was not easy to talk immediately showed a pleading look on his face and said sincerely:
"I'm sorry, Master Mage. I will return the mana crystal immediately. Please don't catch me to the guard team."
Looking at the girl who bowed to apologize and changed her expression extremely quickly, Angmar laughed again and couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"
"Valila Valila Sangunal."
Angmar was stunned.
How could it be her
He clearly remembered that during the natural disaster invasion, Valeela was just a little girl, not even a girl, but the woman in front of him looked only a few years younger than him.
Speaking of which, there is a small loophole in the setting of this character.
Because not long after the natural disaster invaded, Valeela's parents were brutally killed, and she would be sold to Kalimdor by human traffickers. Just a few years later, she actually turned from a little girl into an adult and fought with King Varian. The arena.It is simply impossible for a normal person to grow up so fast.
After thinking about it, he could only sigh. It seemed that this concrete world had fixed many unreasonable settings.
