Rise of the blood elves

574【Shifting the blame】

"'The catastrophe is coming', my prophecy has come true," Angmar looked around quietly and said softly, "Now can you understand the difference between 'prophecy' and 'prophecy spell'?"

Except for Elisande and Illidan, the other three apprentices lowered their heads in shame. They never took the prophet's prediction seriously.Especially Thalyssra, when she thought of the series of random thoughts before, her cheeks felt hot and she did not dare to make eye contact with Angmar.

Elisande is different. As Angmar's earliest "apprentice", she completely trusts Angmar and has a full understanding of the ancient war.What happened today seemed to her to be inevitable.

The same goes for Illidan. He is actually very eager to try this war and can't wait to join in to prove himself.

"Teacher, what should we do?" Thalyssra asked, finally willing to call her Teacher Angmar.As soon as he finished speaking, other apprentices also raised their heads, looking forward to his answer.

The news earlier today was too shocking. The Well of Eternity, the center of the empire, was captured by a terrifying enemy who came from nowhere. Even the Queen herself was unable to reverse the defeat.

Ever since the Kaldorei Empire developed a prosperous arcane civilization, the night elves have regarded themselves as the worthy masters of this world.Because even the once prosperous troll race became a stumbling block in the rise of Kaldorei and was instantly crushed.

No night elf could have imagined this day coming.As for the younger generation, when all pride and pride are completely shattered, they are confused about the future and don't know where to go.

"Do what you should do," Angmar said gently, "'You are all leaders in various fields, and your future achievements will not be limited to the title of 'Prophet and Disciple'. Join this war, you will Find your final destination, undergo tempering and tempering during this period, and eventually grow into a pillar of talent - a key figure who can influence the changes in world history."

The expressions of Thalyssra, Oculus and Valtroy all looked a bit unnatural. Not only were they young, but they were also unknown.Anyone who hears such words will feel unreal.

But if it were in the past, they would definitely not take this kind of illusory and quasi-"prophecy" to heart, but the lessons learned from the past are so clear that they can no longer believe it.

"Don't be doubtful and believe me. Your future is far more brilliant than you imagine."

Angmar said with a smile, then took out a few skin care products from his arms and handed them to several apprentices.

"In order to destroy this world, the devil will use any means. Conspiracy, lurking, assassination...the methods used by the Burning Legion to successfully break through the world inhabited by intelligent races countless times in the past will all be repeated in this war... …”

"Burning Legion?" The apprentices had never heard of this name.

"That's right... wear these talismans with you. The magic of detecting demons is solidified on them. If there are demons disguised as your compatriots nearby, the talismans will sound a warning. Protect yourself." Angmar ended the conversation with one sentence. A conversation.

"You... want to leave us?" Illidan keenly noticed something.

Angmar nodded.

"Teacher, since you accurately predicted the arrival of the Burning Legion and are so aware of the threats the world is facing, then in this war, all night elves need your guidance... You can help us end this war faster. War can save countless innocent lives, so why should we leave us at this time?" Illidan thought that Angmar would never come back, and his words were a little anxious.

Angmar said: "Don't be anxious, my apprentice, I understand your worries, but I am only leaving for a while. The Burning Legion is not the only threat facing this world.

"There are still many ancient evil entities hidden in unknown corners. They all want to take advantage of this whirlpool and seek benefits in the three-party competition. I must deal with them. And... just by the dark night The elves are not enough to defeat the Burning Legion, I have to win more allies for you."

"Okay... okay." Illidan said no more, but was a little curious as to what the "ancient evil existence" Angmar meant.

"Illidan, there is no need to hesitate. Remember what I said, you will soon stand out in this war, and the man who will help you understand the world and your own heart is in the city right now." Angmar said meaningfully.

Illidan looked back at Suramar City in confusion. Just when he was about to ask something in order to get precise guidance, Angmar clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the apprentices, and then said:

"Okay, put the amulet around your neck, and then go do what you should do."

The four apprentices each left thoughtfully.

Seeing that there was no one around, Elisande stepped forward and hugged Angmar gently, and whispered in his ear: "No matter where you go, protect yourself, okay?"

After learning that Angmar had been near the Well of Eternity all day yesterday, dealing with demon-related matters, Elisande no longer minded his failure to fulfill his promise and was very considerate.

"Okay." Angmar took a deep sniff of the girl's silver hair, patted her back gently, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, it's not like I won't come back."

Elisande rubbed her arms in his arms and said insecurely: "I don't know why, but I always feel that... on a sunny afternoon, you will leave me quietly, saying Not even a word of farewell."

"Hey! Don't say such unlucky words!" Angmar yelled exaggeratedly, stopped moving his hand, grabbed the girl's elasticated bra strap, and then let go...

Only a crisp sound of "pop" was heard.

"Ah!" Elisande screamed briefly, his face turned red instantly, and he was too embarrassed to raise his head. He just pinched Angmar's waist hard, "Why didn't I realize before that you are actually like this?" people……"

Angmar chuckled, and after the atmosphere became more relaxed, he said seriously: "I have to do this, don't think about it. Stay in Suramar City and study the Eye of Aman'Thul with all your heart, and wait for my return."

The girl gave a soft "hmm", repeated words such as "pay attention to safety", kissed him gently on the face, and reluctantly returned to the city.

Looking at the girl's figure gradually disappearing into the night, Angmar sighed quietly.

At this moment, a slight sound came from behind.

"Ahem." Krasus, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't stand it anymore, coughed deliberately, and appeared.If it weren't for the light-colored robes that contrasted sharply with the night, Krasus's pale and haggard face would definitely be mistaken for a ghost or something like that, causing panic.

"I have to say, sometimes I envy the way mortals express their love to each other." The Red Dragon Mage suddenly said without any clue.

Angmar was quite amused. He made sure that he had brought all his belongings and followed Krasus towards the forest. "Have Master Ronin and Krasus passed by?"

Krasus nodded and said: "I should have met with Cenarius... Do you really think that we can fulfill this period of history step by step?"

"Of course it's not enough," Angmar said as he walked. "What really worries me is the Old Gods. For these evil beings who are good at conspiracy and conspiracy, it is necessary to inflict heavy damage on the premise of ensuring that the Burning Legion is defeated and the world is not destroyed. There is simply no difficulty in resisting the forces of this world. Our trip is not only to win the help of the wilderness demigods and the five-color dragon clan, but also to make them face the threat of the ancient gods - no matter how many thousands of years they have been dormant before, It seems so harmless."

Angmar waved his hand gently, and a portal emitting blue light immediately appeared.

"So... where is the mortal queen?" Krasus suddenly asked.

Angmar was startled, and kept stroking the edge of the portal with his hand. He stepped inside with one foot and stayed there for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "I will do my best to let her... accept all this."

Immediately he disappeared into the portal.

Krasus shook his head, and he could hear the bitterness in Angmar's words.

It is easier said than done to make a person who will lose everything because of this war understand the necessity of this war to the world, be freed from pain, and practice the right things that even outsiders find difficult to practice consistently... ?

……

In the upper city of Suramar City, on top of the spire overlooking the city, an important meeting was taking place.

Several high-ranking female priests of the Moon Temple, led by Priestess Dijana, top members of the Magister Council, and prominent families in nearby areas... The attendees included not only the leading figures in the Suramar region, but also those from Black Crow Castle. Lord Culotas Ravencrest.

Even Jarod Shadowsong attended the meeting as the low-level head of the local paramilitary force. However, his seat was relatively far back and he rarely had the opportunity to speak. It was obvious that no one really paid attention to this person who had always been responsible for leading. The captain of the guard who arrests criminals and maintains law and order.

"30 gold coins? Elune, how can the Star Eyes family get it? It's better to stop all magic research work in Suramar City. In this way, we will have sufficient funds..."

"Lord Ravencrest, I personally believe that the command of the levy army should be shared among everyone, rather than being ruled by you alone. This is completely inconsistent with the law!"

The meeting room was in a mess, and the agenda was undoubtedly not going smoothly, as the nobles would often push back and forth over trivial matters.

They either questioned the amount of funds allocated by the Parliament to various families to purchase armaments, or questioned the legitimacy and legality of Lord Ravencrest's command of this local levy force.

Recruitment is not a trivial matter. With the population base of the Suramar region, even if most of the young men were recruited in the earlier expansion war, it is not a problem to form an army of tens of thousands in the face of national crisis.

Moreover, with the resources and wealth of Suramar City, it is not difficult to arm these tens of thousands of people to the teeth and maintain the supply line that will surely grow longer and longer with the wave of counterattacks.

But the difficulty is that the nobles present all understand that no matter how much financial resources and sweat they have spent in the recruitment process, when the day of victory comes, the greatest credit will definitely be attributed to the commander of this army, not themselves.

The upper elves among them understand this truth better (the upper elves are the powerful class of the night elves, and can be understood as the great nobles of the Kaldorei Empire. Lord Ravencrest, who is the "frontier official", is among this group. There is also the mother of Vashj'ir, Lyselia Vashj'ir, who is Lord Vashj'ir).

What's more, the Suramar local army would have been integrated with the fifth and eighth legions that had been withdrawn from the eastern border.The Queen has already issued a decree. Once the two sides join forces, the command of the Fifth and Eighth Legions will be transferred to Lord Culotas Ravencrest, who has great command skills, and he will be responsible for the subsequent battle.

In the view of these nobles, since Lord Culotas Ravencrest already has two legions and the command of his own private army in the territory, he should not divide the cake that should belong to him.

These people did not realize the horror of the Burning Legion at all. They still held the idea that "the Children of the Stars are invincible" and even regarded this catastrophe as a game to compete for favor and credit in front of the Queen.

One noble even pointed out that since this army was funded by everyone, in order to ensure the legal rights and voice of each family, a command committee should be formed. Each family would send representatives to serve as committee members to discuss the army through voting. all decisions.

As soon as he finished saying this, Lord Ravencrest held his forehead helplessly, and even several of his followers couldn't help but laugh.

Because this is simply a big joke, it’s a shame these nobles could figure it out.

In an ever-changing war, it is undoubtedly the most foolish approach to establish such a committee that will greatly delay decision-making and cause the order to lose its timeliness.When they finish the prevarication, there will still be precious fleeting fighter opportunities left with them that will never come back.

Everyone was helpless and could only listen to the verbal quarrels between these nobles.Even the big shots at the top were like this, and Jarod Shadowsong and others in the seats at the back were even more speechless.

During this period, there were always people who cast curious eyes on the few followers behind Lord Ravencrest.Among them was a night elf dressed as a mage, who looked very much like the Moon Guard of Black Crow Castle.

People are very fond of this name.

The Moon Guards of Black Crow Castle are all battle mages who have experienced hundreds of battles. When ordinary mages spend their time on magic research, they are constantly honing their combat skills. With sufficient combat experience, looking at the entire Cardo The Thunder Empire is unique in that it can make excellent use of the magic power from the Well of Eternity to amplify itself and kill its enemies.

Facing these elites, even the learned men of Suramar City had to admire them.After all, most of the mages of this era have never been on the battlefield, and are not good at using spells to fight enemies.

"That's enough!" Lord Ravencase finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed his hand on the table. The conference room was immediately silent. "While we are sitting here wasting time, the entire empire is facing the devil's attack all the time. Threats. You can continue to argue, but I also have the right to truthfully report all this to Her Majesty the Queen...Do you want to face the wrath of the Light of Light?"

All the nobles remained silent.Lord Ravencrest is deeply trusted by the Queen, and he does have a way to report everything that happened here.

At this moment, the door to the conference room opened and a guard appeared at the door.

"Who is so rude..."

Just as a noble was about to scold the guard who came in without knocking, he saw that his body suddenly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if something had instantly sucked away the essence of life.

Everyone was shocked, and then there was a plop, and the guard who had long been turned into a mummy, together with the armor that could no longer hold up, fell to the ground crookedly, revealing the terrifying...

Cerberus.
