LIVE: Azeroth

In order to realize Sarlayan's plan to lure the king into the urn, Suramar, who holds the important bargaining chip of the Nightwell, can only temporarily make a compromise with the Burning Legion.

It is said that a qualified politician must be an excellent actor.

Elisande is self-aware of her own abilities. She is not a qualified politician in the eyes of the general public. Otherwise, she would not have made the decision to seal the city for tens of thousands of years and place all her hopes on the future explored by the Eye of Aman'Thul. , almost caused a civil commotion due to long-term accumulated conflicts.

It was precisely because he realized his misunderstandings and the limits of his abilities that after the city of Suramar was unblocked, Elisande boldly delegated the power of governance to the advisory group headed by Talisa, and even under the leadership of Queen Azshara After the Dark Night Empire returned with force, they chose to re-affiliate without hesitation.

Elisande was given the title Grand Mage personally by Azshara in ancient times. He was always given the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

After long-term contact and communication with Elisande, Sarlayan has a very good understanding of the great mage's character and abilities.

In a word, Elisande is a typical academic bureaucrat. Just as she knows herself, Elisande, who has a limited thinking mode, is actually not suitable to be the leader of a city.

Sound familiar? Yes, from a certain perspective, Elisande's positioning is quite similar to Jaina.

After Elisande awakened from the future picture shown by the Eye of Aman'Thul, she also had a clear understanding of the limits of her abilities.

In the past few years, she had spent most of her time in the Azsuna region, personally presiding over the reconstruction of Narthalas College, and entrusting the management of Suramar to the chief advisor Thalyssra, who was more capable of governing. .

But even so, for the majority of the Nightborne people, Elisande, who has protected Suramar for thousands of years, is still an important banner.

They could accept that the advisory group would manage Suramar on their behalf with Elisande's authorization, but they could not accept that Elisande himself did not appear in person to speak out when the entire Nightborne clan needed to make a major decision.

With this in mind, Sarlayan deliberately caught Elisande, who was studying academics while hiding in Narthalas College, and asked her to personally sit in Suramar and preside over the ultimate fight with the Eredar twins.

So far, Elisande, who calls himself a second-rate politician, has played pretty well.

However, his family knew their own affairs, and under the pressing pressure of the experienced Eredar twins, Elisande felt that he could no longer hold on.

Fortunately, Sarlayan gave new instructions in time, and Elisande no longer had to worry about continuing to play Tai Chi with the Eredar twins.

Although Elisande will still need to work up her energy to fool the Burning Legion in the next period of time, with the "merit" of proactively opening the Night Well, the pressure on her shoulders will at least be alleviated.

Moreover, after Sarlayan freed his hands, the main pressure has been transferred to him. Elisande only needs to relax his brain and obey the orders, without having to be as nervous as before.

Under the premise that both parties had a tacit understanding, the negotiations between the Burning Legion and Suramar regarding the requisition of the Nightwell went very smoothly.

It was against this background that the Eredar Twins opened the champagne at halftime and happily held an open-air party in their villa to celebrate.

Almost at the same time, Kil'jaeden, who had suppressed his anger on Sargeras' side, once again urged the eredar twins to speed up the follow-up negotiations. He could not wait to enter Azeroth in person and catch the "shameful traitor." ”——Wei Lun.

But even though the fraudster was distraught, he did not completely abandon his long-held caution.

In Kil'jaeden's view, the reason for the Nightborne's surrender was indeed logical, but just in case, he would not completely trust these foreigners who had not had deep contact with the Legion.

The War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago is a lesson worthy of attention. Even if the top leaders, led by Elisande, defect to the Burning Legion, the lower-level civilians of the Nightborne may not necessarily obey their orders completely.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, Kil'jaeden still followed the original plan specified in advance and sent a team of agents into Azeroth to perform a secret mission before the army set off. The leader of this special agent team is Lakesh, the son of the prophet Velen, whom Sarlayan had heard about from the barrage before.

Kil'jaeden's purpose was very clear, using Rakish to lure Velen out of the heavily guarded city of New Shattrath.

Sharlayan wanted to lure Kil'jaeden into the urn of Azeroth to catch turtles. Although Kil'jaeden could not yet understand the enemy's complete layout, he also had his own plan. You will fight yours, and I will fight mine. Look. Whoever couldn't hold it back first was forced to change his tactics.

Once the plan is temporarily changed, some flaws will inevitably be exposed. Kil'jaeden, known as the Deceiver, is best at seizing the enemy's weaknesses and attacking, destroying Azeroth's defense plan with a single point of Arrancar.

However, even though Kil'jaeden had raised the alert level against Sarlayan more than once, he still did not expect that Sarlayan's plan would be so bold as to counterattack Argus.

Since the Burning Legion had basically reached an agreement on cooperation with Suramar, the day after the night of absurdity ended, the eredar twins brought a red-skinned Man'ari who was covered in fel herpes and hideous scars to the front. Come meet Elisande.

Elisande looked at this Man'ari demon who seemed to have a high status in confusion: "Who is this?"

Saloras shrugged and introduced: "Our colleague, you can call him Lakish. He and the elite soldiers under his command are the advance troops sent by Lord Kil'jaeden to Azeroth to perform special tasks."

‘Rakish? that is not……'

There was a hint of wariness in Elisande's eyes. She had heard this name before when she and Sarlayan were discussing possible sinister strategies against the Burning Legion.

‘Did he guess right again? ’

Elisande, who was filled with turmoil in his heart, still maintained a smile and politeness on the surface, and nodded to the taciturn Rakish: "Welcome to Suramar, General Rakish, I hope you like my city."

Under Kil'jaeden's hundreds of years of brainwashing, Rakish has been shaped into a revenge tool specifically targeting Velen, and his heart is filled with resentment towards the traitor Velen.

Rakish, who has suffered countless inhuman tortures, has become a man of words. Only when he faces Velen will he explode the emotions suppressed deep in his heart.

Don't get me wrong, Rakish, who has lost all his past memories, has no father-son affection for Velen. The emotions mentioned here are hatred and resentment with an excessive concentration.

Facing Elisande's overtures, Lakish remained unsmiling and just nodded to her indifferently.

"I hope we can cooperate happily, the Grand Magister of the Children of the Night."

Oreses, one of the Eredar twins, took over with a smile and said, "Lakish has an important mission on his shoulders. I hope Suramar can fully cooperate with his actions."

Elisande's expression didn't show anything strange. He nodded to the three high-ranking Man'ari in a dignified manner and said, "No problem. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

"Then I'm not welcome." Lakish made the request straight to the point: "I need the scouts of the Children of the Night to help me spread the news that the Naaru-Lula who was abandoned by Velen is still alive. At this time, he was Imprisoned in the Tomb of Sargeras and tortured in every possible way."

"Lula?" Elisande calmly showed doubts: "Who is that?"

Rakish shook his head: "It's too troublesome to explain. Let's just pass the news like this. When the draenei hear the news, they will definitely jump out and save me from wasting time and energy rushing to Bluemyst Island to knock Crush their broken turtle shells.”
