Rise of the blood elves

The ruins of Andorhal were very quiet late at night, with white Alliance military tents and dilapidated walls everywhere in sight.From the dilapidated buildings, one can vaguely see the former prosperity of Lordaeron City.

As a transportation hub connecting Hillsbrad Hills to the south, Hearthglen to the north, and Stratholme to the east, Andorhal not only has developed commerce, but also has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. The grains produced are even exported to Kurti. Lars.Caravans from all over the country would pass here, buy grains, leave behind a wide variety of goods, and then transfer to their destinations.

The prosperity of Andorhal is comparable to that of the Royal City of Lordaeron. It is the third most populous city in Lordaeron after the Royal City and Stratholme. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.But with the arrival of the Scourge, all of this has turned into a dream.

After Arthas sent his troops north to Quel'Thalas, [-] Alliance soldiers, led by Garithos, recaptured the city and tried to use it as an advance base to regain the lost territory.

Angmar walked out of the high-ranking officers' camp, and the further he went, the more frightened he became.Throughout the alliance military camp, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The guards were alert and fully armed, and no one relaxed at their posts.

As soon as it was the designated time to turn off the lights and go to bed, the military camp became silent.Even in the officers' camp, there was no noise of gambling and entertainment.Passing by a tent with loose curtains, he found that the sleeping soldiers were all wearing their armor and were wearing close-fitting leather armor linings and leggings.

Once the alarm is sounded, soldiers can put on full body armor as quickly as possible to participate in the battle.

This army is so disciplined, and I have to say that Garithos does have a good way of running the army.

After walking for a full 10 minutes, Angmar finally arrived at the Knights of the Silver Hand station on the west bank of Lake Darrowmere.

Keldaron Island, located in the center of Lake Daronmere, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The owners of that land, the Barov family, have betrayed the Alliance and all mankind and defected to the Scourge.Although the most wealthy and prominent family in the Kingdom of Alterac was forced to rebel by Terenas' unwise ruling, regardless of whether they were bewitched and coerced, it is undeniable that they are now serving the natural disaster.

The island of Keldaron is large enough to station an entire Scourge army. What's even more frightening is that it can also serve as a transit point for the Scourge Gargoyles to launch fierce air attacks on Alliance positions at close range.There must be troops stationed on the west coast to be on guard for possible attacks from the islands in the middle of the lake. The Knights of the Silver Hand are responsible for the defense along the coast.

The Knights' station was brightly lit, and heavily armed patrol teams passed by from time to time.Before he could enter, Angmar was stopped by guards from a distance.

"who"

"I am Angmar Morningstar, the special envoy of the blood elves, coming to see Tyran Fordring, the paladin of your group."

Angmar explained his purpose, and after the guards learned of his identity, they hurried in to report.Not long after, a young knight squire came out and said to him: "Captain Tailan is on the defense line by the lake. Please follow me."

If the Alliance military camp made Angmar feel awe-inspiring in terms of military discipline, the Knights of the Silver Hand would also add another word "more".

Everyone is carrying out their work in an orderly manner, standing guard and carrying materials. All movements are quiet, as if they are afraid of disturbing their colleagues who are resting.The guards who stood up straight looked at him without squinting, not at all distracted by the appearance of a rare blood elf in the station.

When passing by the open space in the center of the camp, Angmar noticed that many people gathered in front of the simple chanting platform in the center of the open space and prayed devoutly. Even if the army pressed on the border and the enemy and we were very different, there was no trace of fear in the eyes of these paladins. They only fought to the death. The determination of perseverance and selfless dedication.

It truly is the most elite combat force in the alliance.

Since there were only about a hundred core members of the Silver Hand left, and including the squire knights and subordinate armed forces, there were only more than a thousand people, so the size of the station was not large. The two soon arrived at the shore of Lake Darrowmere. .

In front of you is a trench about 200 meters long, with semi-embedded wooden bunkers at regular intervals, but most of them are not yet completed.Boxes of arrows were piled up in the trench, strong crossbows and longbows could be seen everywhere, and there were even two ballistae mounted on the shore.

If the natural disaster troops on Keldaron Island want to sneak attack the flank of the Alliance military camp, there will be no return.

"Please wait a moment." After saying this, the squire knight trotted into the ditch, and soon he brought a young man wearing Silver Hand standard armor.

This is Tyran Fordring. Angmar saw him in the crowd at the war meeting not long ago.Tailan looks like his father, about 1.9 meters tall and relatively strong.He was looking at Angmar with confusion, as if he didn't understand why the blood elf envoy came to find him.

Angmar's mind moved, and Tyran's attribute detection came to mind.

The tiger father has no dogs.

"Come here rashly, I hope you don't mind. This dagger." As soon as he took out the dagger that Lafayette had given him for self-defense, Tailan could no longer look away.

"Can you show me?"

Angmar handed him the dagger. Tyran's trembling hands stroked the pattern on the dagger's handle, and tears soon filled his eyes. "Yes, this is my father's relic. It was made for him by the blacksmith of Hearthglen. There is also the emblem of the Fording family on it. Thank you. Where did you find it?"

"This is indeed your father's, but it is not a relic." Angmar said.

Tailan immediately understood the meaning of his words and said in surprise: "My father is still alive here. This is impossible."

Poor Tailan has been living in the white lies of those around her.Growing up, everyone hid the truth about Tirion's exile and told him, "Your father died in the Second War. He was a true hero."

Tailan has always followed the heroic deeds of his "late" father as an example and strives to become a hero like his father.During the ceremony to join the Knights of the Silver Hand, his father was hidden in the crowd and witnessed everything from a distance.

"It's absolutely true. During the day, I was surrounded by the undead due to a teleportation error. It was Lord Tirion who saved my life."

Tailan was obviously a little doubtful.Angmar was also a little bit dumbfounded by this. He was the special envoy of the blood elves, but he did not go through the official channels and sneaked over to find people in the middle of the night. No matter how you think about it, it was a bit shameful.

What's more, the blood elves and high elves have a poor reputation in the alliance. It's no wonder that Tyran doesn't trust him.

"Lord Tyran, only you can convince Lord Tirion to return to the Knights of the Silver Hand. I have no intention, I just want to do what I can to make up for the mistakes my people have made. I just miss you these years. Do the same thing," Angmar said.

Tyran raised his head suddenly and looked at Angmar in surprise.

He had heard a lot of rumors about his father.Some people say that he is not an Alliance hero who died heroically at all, but a traitor who committed treason and a criminal who colluded with the orcs.

What pained him was that so many people were saying the same thing.Sometimes he would even wonder if everything he knew was a beautiful lie spun by the people around him. When Lord Uther was still alive, Tyran asked whether his father was dead or exiled. , but Lord Uther just kept silent.

In fact, he understood it at that time, but he was resisting the truth from the bottom of his heart.

Tailan can no longer tell whether all these years of hard work are to match the heroic father in her heart, or to clear the name of that treasonous father.

"So, my father is really a treasonous criminal" Tailan asked in a low voice, seeming to have accepted the reality.

"Nothing in this world is more important than family ties, Lord Tyran. If it were you, you would make the same choice as your father. In order to fulfill his oath, Lord Tirion sacrificed everything, including his family, status, Wealth is even willing to bear infamy for this. No one is more deserving of the word honor than him, and no one understands the meaning of sacrifice better than him. If you figure it out, you can come to me, and I should be able to help you find him."

After Angmar finished speaking, he nodded, saluted, turned and left.Sometimes people are so strange. They have to wait until it's too late to understand. They hurriedly want to do something, only to find that things are irreversible.

The love and family mission in the official history took place four or five years later. At that time, Tyrann Fordring missed his father more than anything else.As soon as he learned that his father was still alive, he didn't even bother to stabilize the Scarlet Crusade with Xu and Zhizhi, and was about to run away on the spot, and eventually died under the siege of Elison and his lackeys.

Angmar thought as he walked, that since he came to this world, he had a new understanding of the so-called "hero".

These heroes are not what they appear on the surface. Kael'thas, who is majestic in front of others, will also be in pain due to regret; Jaina, who supports the entire Theramore by herself, will also be helpless because of disagreements with her mentor. He couldn't understand the selflessness of Lafayette. He even felt that Lafayette was a bit pedantic. Not only did he care about his own honor, but he was also afraid that his return would bring shame to his former brothers.Does Lafayette have to wait for his son to go astray before he is willing to stage another regretful "love and family" drama?

After love and family, Lafayette was sublimated. From then on, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Holy Light and vowed to eliminate all evil in the world, but his son was gone.

Again, sometimes people are just so weird, they have to wait until it's too late to understand. But no matter how hard you chase, you will always end up with a regrettable end.

"and many more"

As soon as he left the Knights of the Silver Hand's station, Tailan caught up with him, holding a piece of crumpled yellowed letter paper in his hand.

"I'm sorry. I apologize to you for my behavior just now. I can't leave my post without permission. If you can meet my father, please give this to him and tell him that his son will always be proud of his choice."

Angmar smiled, it is true that a tiger father has no dog son.
