Rise of the blood elves

628【The Mantid Arrives】

When we arrived at Suramar City, it was already bright.

"Swipe, brush..."

Several enchanted brooms were sweeping the road by themselves, making a rhythmic sound.

The rising sun casts a golden glow on the rows of street buildings.Walking on the broad street, you can't see the prosperity of the past. There are only a few pedestrians, most of whom are old, weak, women and children. There are almost no young and strong men, not even half-grown young people.

At the entrance of the tavern run by Cheri, there are no longer drunk night elves preparing to get drunk during the day, nor are there any Yingying Yanyan preparing to start the day's work.

The street scene of Suramar City at this time was very different from the glorious magic city of the past. It seemed quiet and empty.

From time to time, Angmar's body would be swept by a wave of magic. Looking up, he saw a looming giant barrier covering the city.It seems that Elisande, who communicated with him in the long-distance magic communication dozens of days ago about the idea of ​​​​the devil detection position, has succeeded.

This giant stand that encompasses the entire city of Suramar is the result of Elisande's research.

but……

It seems that even with the detection position, the guards still did not relax their vigilance.Every time you pass a street corner, you can see the guards holding portable magic crystals with demon-detection spells attached to them, checking the passers-by one by one.

Angmar is hidden in an invisibility spell and stalks the streets like a ghost.Invisibility is just to look for demons that may be there, bypassing the detection spell and lurking nearby.Otherwise, if he appeared openly in front of people, how could those demons show up?

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the Magister's Tower located on the border between the upper and lower city areas.This place where the Magister Council that governs the city works daily is much more lively than other places in the city. People of all kinds come and go in a hurry, including nobles, soldiers, guards, mages...

A small transmission network node was set up not far away, and messengers kept coming out of it, rushing into the Magister's Tower with letters sealed with fire paint and stamped with military seals.

Angmar stood outside the tower and looked for a while, distinguishing the spell model of the teleportation spell solidified on the teleportation network node, and quickly confirmed that this was the new, more efficient teleportation network node developed by Oculus.

and……

As Elisande said to himself before, its energy supply method is closely related to the arcane energy supply network formed around the several Akando magic trees in Suramar City.

Angmar was quite proud. He stepped into the Tower of the Magister, passed through the heavily guarded gate, densely covered with detection spells, and went up the spiral staircase for a long time. Finally, he arrived at Elisande's office - an office located at the top of the tower. It has a good view and is only a room lower than Lloyd, the Grand Magister of Suramar City and the Speaker of the Council of Magisters who govern the city.

It can be seen that Elisande is taken seriously and has begun to stand out.

"Madam, Master Star Eyes..." an embarrassed voice came from the office, "requires us to immediately imitate the Moon Guard of Black Crow Castle and form a battle mage force with no less than [-] people."

Starry eyes?

Angmar frowned.

He remembered this name very clearly.

If Lord Ravencrest, who has experienced hundreds of battles, is a true Kaldorei noble who is loyal to the empire and his people, except for the harmless loyalty to the queen...

Then Star Eyes is an irrefutable waste.Meat eaters are despicable, corpses are vegetarians, immoral and incompetent... All the words that can be used to describe a stupid superior who does not seek to achieve his goals in his position can be used to describe this person.

In the official history, after Lord Ravencrest died in the assassination, he was the highest-ranking Star Eyes and naturally took over the position of commander.But he has a high self-esteem, not only does he have no matching talents, but he also treats war as a child's play. He is greedy for profit, thinking only about military exploits, and even despises the Burning Legion.In times of crisis, if Jarod Shadowsong had not stepped forward, he would have almost ruined the entire Suramar City Front because of his foolish decision.

But now that Lord Ravencrest, the owner of Black Crow Castle, is rushing to the Well of Eternity area to join the war, Star Eyes has become the highest-ranking noble in Suramar City.Commanding thousands of private troops stationed in the south of Suramar City, he was responsible for the follow-up recruitment and defense of Suramar City. He couldn't bear the loneliness and was eager to obtain some military exploits to improve his status, and then make some less impressive things. Such praise... Angmar wouldn't be surprised at all.

It’s just... what is the so-called fight against invasion?Isn't Suramar City very safe? Does Star Eye still want to lead the troops left behind in Suramar City to join the battle?This... is so stupid.

"Experienced mages have been sent out, and the remaining manpower must be used to guard against the demon's attack. Tell him that Suramar City is not his back garden, and the Magister Council is not a workhouse where he can take whatever he wants," Alisan De's voice came out, "As long as you don't interfere with my work, I don't care what he wants to do."

Angmar smiled slightly. There was no helplessness in the girl's tone, and there was no indignation in the face of unreasonable demands that is very common among young people. She seemed to have gradually adapted to her position and had begun to gain a hint of the majesty of a superior.

Chancellor Lloyd has long gone with the army to the Well of Eternity war zone. Currently, she is the highest-ranking magister remaining in Suramar City, responsible for overseeing all affairs.

I don't know what happened, but Angama suddenly felt... like a daughter in her family had grown up, and she was very, very proud.

Logically speaking, as the temporary chief executive of this place, it is best to have a good relationship with the nobles and cooperate sincerely to facilitate the work, not to mention that it is wartime.But... there's nothing wrong with thinking like this if you want to put others aside, but that's Star Eyes.

Fighting such a stupid person back is undoubtedly the best option - no matter what he wants to do.Because he always brings trouble and destruction to those around him.

"Madam, I think... we'd better send someone to monitor Lord Star Eyes' actions in the name of assistance. Just before I left his military camp, I heard... that he was already preparing to launch an attack on the insect people in the south. "The man said again.

Bug man?

Angmar was stunned.

"What?" Elisande replied immediately, his tone raised an octave, "Those insect-men clearly showed no intention to attack!"

Angmar outside the door became more and more confused. Why did it sound like a "bug man" force came very close to Suramar City? The reason why the commander of the garrison outside the city asked Suramar City to organize a battle The mage troops assist him just to attack these uninvited guests?

"With all due respect, according to the ancient history of the empire, those insectoids appeared in the war between trolls and Aqirs 6000 years ago, and have been determined to be a branch of the Aqirs... They are a threat. Yes, maybe we should strike first, whether they show offensive intentions or not."

Angmar's heart moved. Could it be that this insect man is...

"It's different," Elisande's voice came out again, "Those are the mantids, loyal friends of my teacher. Go tell Star Eyes immediately that I have sent a messenger to contact those bugmen this morning, asking them to Don’t act rashly! Otherwise, you will face the wrath of the Prophet and the Queen!”
