Rise of the blood elves

Upon hearing this, Angmar gave up her position, and Liadrin knelt down beside Salorian, closed her eyes and prayed.

She frowned and her expression was very solemn.

After a while, Angmar heard the sweet and light voice again, as if a ray of dawn penetrated the darkness and shone in his heart.

At the same time, Liadrin's hands also glowed with holy light. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, her beautiful eyes full of doubt, as if she didn't believe that the Holy Light would answer her call again.

Perhaps sensing her doubts, the holy light quickly dimmed.

She hurriedly calmed down and closed her eyes again, no longer daring to think about endless questions. She carefully communicated the power of the Holy Light and guided it to Salorian's injured leg.

In everyone's surprised eyes, as soon as the faint holy light came into contact with Salorian's injured leg, the poison was wiped away in an instant.The rolled flesh at the wound slowly closed, and tender raw flesh quickly emerged.

"It worked"

Salorian was in disbelief. He stretched out his hand to touch his knee, which was still intact. He also flexed and stretched his left leg a few times, stood up and moved a few times, and praised: "It's incredible, this leg is as good as if it has never been injured. "

Liadrin, who had completely cured him, looked at her hands suspiciously and murmured: "How is this possible?"

"No matter what, we have welcomed back a highly skilled high-level priest." Kael'thas said.

Lor'themar Theron also smiled happily.

Only Angmar knew that it was not Liadrin who healed Salorion, or not entirely her.

The light music just now reminded him of a certain race that traveled through the universe and spread divine light to countless living beings.

night.

The civilians have recovered from the panic, and Kael'thas ordered people to set up outposts on the peaks facing the sea to always be alert to troll attacks from the sea.

The day's battle ended with Zul'jin's defeat.

Under the leadership of Kael'thas and the support of a group of magisters, Taniguchi's defense line was rock solid with almost no casualties.On the contrary, civilians suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 2000 people died at the hands of the trolls or were trampled to death by compatriots who panicked.

If the Salorian Morningseekers hadn't turned the tide and repelled Zul'jin, the number of casualties would have increased tenfold, and it would have been very possible for the Taniguchi defense line to be overrun by their own people.

At nightfall, Prince Kael'thas personally held a funeral for the deceased, and then led everyone back to Silvermoon City and convened a meeting of advisors.

The journey to regain their homeland was extremely arduous, and most people went about their own business.Except for the prince's advisors, including Angmar, only Lor'themar, Rommath, Salorian and Liadrin were summoned.

The academic hall of Silvermoon City Magic Academy is still in the same messy state. On the half-story high platform surrounded by a sea of ​​books, there is only an ordinary long desk that was once used for reading books. It is dripping with wax but has no traces. People were cleaning up, and there were only chairs for half the people.

Saladre found a broken high stool that didn't match the "décor" of the academic hall from somewhere, but at least everyone had a seat.

People sat high and low around the long table, with more than a dozen lit candles floating in the air as lighting, but the dim light was far from being able to illuminate the entire hall, and everyone's faces looked somewhat gloomy under the flickering candlelight.

This was the meeting initiated by Kael'thas and bringing together more than half of the leaders of Quel'Thalas.

Shabby, very shabby.

"Lor'themar, allocate some manpower to closely monitor the movements of the Amani trolls, and be sure to prevent incidents like today from happening. Natural disasters have already given us enough headaches, and I don't want to be stabbed in the back by the trolls." Kaelsa Si said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lor'themar's whole body was shrouded in shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Kael'thas noticed something was wrong in the ranger general's tone, and waved his hand: "Don't blame yourself, this is not your negligence. All our attention was firmly attracted by the natural disaster, and no one expected that the troll would attack us. attack."

Lor'themar nodded slightly and said nothing.

"Okay, let's forget this matter. I summoned you today for two things. The first one is the two items Angmar brought back for us, and the second one is about the shocking discovery in Dalaran recently. Shocking fact."

Kael'thas nodded to Angmar, "You tell me."

Angmar placed the Sacred Pact of Stromka and the Silver Hand on the table, took a deep breath, and said: "Everyone, this weapon is familiar to everyone. It was the weapon of Emperor Thoradin more than two thousand years ago. The weapon of the Great Emperor, Stromka, known as the War Destroyer, was enchanted by the hand of the late king. I recovered it from the Tomb of Tyr. For more than 2000 years, it has been sucking the power of shadow from Zakaz. , now possesses unimaginable power, enough to rank among the ranks of artifacts. During the day, Lord Salorian used it to repel the elite Troll Corps. Due to drinking the blood of the Trolls, the Trolls faced it. There is overwhelming fear, which I believe is exacerbated by the power of the Shadow. Lord Salorian can attest to this."

Salorian nodded and said: "That's right. The troll I was fighting had obviously lost its fighting spirit due to fear. Moreover, I was under a voodoo curse at the time, and the moment I held the Stromka in my hand, it completely broke it. .”

"Sir, does the so-called elimination target the spells cast by the trolls, or does it target all shadow spells?" Someone grabbed the key point of the question and asked.

Salorian thought for a while, seeming to recall the battle process during the day, "I think it's both. The anti-magic effect that can penetrate my armor, and the spell that makes me incapacitated are terrifying, Storm Kabuto can destroy it in an instant. This artifact will undoubtedly be a great aid in the fight against the Amani trolls."

Everyone looked at Stromka on the table, and everyone could feel the power of shadow faintly emanating from it.

"The power of shadow alone is powerful enough. Compared with it, the restraint of trolls is secondary. You have recovered a powerful artifact for us, Angmar." Rommath narrowed his eyes. , took a look at Angma, and his heart was full of doubts.

Where did this young consultant learn about the whereabouts of this artifact?

There was also the thick metal-covered book, and he could feel a faint wave of holy light on it.There must be some strong person who is well versed in the way of holy light and carries it with him every day, so that this ordinary item of material can be stained with a trace of sacred energy.

"Master Rommath, this is what I should do." Angmar said modestly, and found that everyone turned their attention to the Holy Deed aside. He began to explain: "This is a collection of all the Holy Deeds developed by the Knights of the Silver Hand. The Holy Pact of Magic.”

"What?" Roman stood up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground with a clang, "How did you get it?"

Everyone else present had the same reaction as him. This thing is equivalent to a mage's spell book. It is extremely precious and everyone will hold it tightly and refuse to show it to others easily.They all thought that Angmar obtained this holy deed through some improper means.

Although the Knights of the Silver Hand have been recruiting members from all members of the alliance, including even dwarves, they have always been willing to share their skills and experience in the use of sacred spells with their allies.

But that means something different, because not only are the blood elves not a part of the Alliance, they are also ostracized by the Alliance members.

His Highness the Prince has recently intended to return to the alliance, and at this juncture he has stolen the foundation of their top combat power. Isn't this setting a self-imposed obstacle?

The powerful combat effectiveness of the Knights of the Silver Hand is obvious to all, and the foundation of their powerful combat effectiveness is based on the experience they have spent countless efforts summarizing since their establishment. Now it is in front of everyone. It is impossible to say that they are not tempted.

"This is" Saladre's breathing was a little short. He took the Holy Deed and looked through it. After a moment, his eyes were shining and he said: "Yes, it is extremely detailed. With it, we can quickly train a batch of My own Holy Knight Angmar, you have really done a great thing."

"I suggest returning it immediately. Once the Silver Hand learns about this, it will be detrimental to our plan to return to the Alliance. At least this original copy must be returned, and we can make another copy and keep it secretly." Someone immediately came Showing his worries.

Another old consultant retorted: "Don't even think about going back. We need all means to improve our strength to tide over the difficulties. As for the plan you mentioned, I think it's just shooting yourself in the foot. You Do you think others can’t see through your little thoughts?”

A group of advisors soon began to discuss, but most of them were planning how to keep him without anyone noticing, and secretly train paladins to fight against natural disasters. Few people Really consider whether future allies will be disgusted by this and become even more repulsive to the blood elves.

Angmar couldn't help but sigh. These people were not short-sighted. It could only be said that they were concerned and confused.In the face of a catastrophe for the country and the undead, the role that the Paladins can play is so great that few people can calm down and think about the real gains and losses.

"Angemar, how could you show it to others so brazenly without fear of leaks?" Romans frowned, his tone full of complaints.

It wasn't that he didn't trust everyone present, but that Darkan's betrayal cast too great a shadow on him.As a result, the prince's most trusted mage was very sensitive to anything involving the word "confidential".

"Everyone, listen to me." Angmar cleared his throat and stopped the discussion among his colleagues by pressing his hands. "The Holy Deed was not obtained through illegal means. It was obtained by the leader of the Silver Hand as a thank you for me. They welcomed back a legendary strongman and shared the artifact information back to our clan."

Everyone was stunned, but soon someone asked again: "Artifact information"

Angmar had to explain again about sharing the information about the Silver Hand Warhammer to the Knights of the Silver Hand.

"What a powerful artifact, you just handed it over to others like this?" As a result, the focus of the consultants' discussion once again went astray.

"You should report this as soon as possible"

"That's the weapon left by the guardian. It can play a far better role than Stormka. How dare you make your own decisions? This is Yanyue, Yanyue"

Accusations were heard endlessly, and most advisors held the same attitude. Some even wanted to hold Angmar responsible.

He found helplessly that his previous views on these guys were too optimistic.

"That's enough." Kael'thas' majestic voice resounded throughout the audience, "Lor'themar, Liadrin, Rommath, Salorian, and Angmar, the five of you stay, and everyone else leaves."

The advisors all bowed, bowed and took orders to leave.As a result, a heated discussion broke out as soon as they arrived at the door. Someone said something for Angmar, saying that his move was correct. In the long run, the significance of this sacred contract is far greater than an artifact, the Silver Hand. They will also become rare and valuable allies.

It was the voice of counselor Sara Del Rey.

Angmar was so moved that he wished he could become his confidant right away.

"It's so stupid that anything can compare to such a powerful artifact. The Knights of the Silver Hand are just a group of pedantic human priests and warriors. Even without them, we can figure out the training of the Holy Knights on our own. "Method" The consultants immediately attacked in groups and criticized Saladre to the point of being embarrassed.

People who understand will naturally understand. The rest of the people here looked at Angmar with novel eyes as if they had discovered a new world, making him very uncomfortable.

"Rommath, now you should understand why I value him," Prince Kael'thas said with a smile, looking at Angmar with eyes full of joy and pride in seeing his younger generation achieve something.

Rommath nodded slightly, "Understood, Your Highness. I will be happy to teach him."

teach

Angmar was confused.

Kael'thas explained: "From today on, you will learn magic knowledge from Rommath. Not every time you are seriously injured and on the verge of death, you will be lucky enough to save a life. Your strength is too weak, you must learn How to protect yourself.”

Angmar couldn't help turning his head to look at Rommath, and found that the latter was also staring at him, his expression extremely serious.

He could imagine how harshly Rommath would treat him, but it was worth it to get the guidance of such a legendary mage.

Kael'thas turned to Liadrin and asked: "This holy contract is given to you. You will learn its contents, and then be responsible for the selection and training of paladins, and form an army of paladins of our clan. I I will give you the greatest authority. Do you have any questions?”

Realizing that this was a heavy responsibility, Liadrin hesitated, "Your Highness, I just dare to do it."

"Yes, or not?" Kael'thas interrupted with a frown, his eyes bright.

Liadrin's face straightened and she said firmly: "No, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, I think calling this army the Blood Knights is very consistent with the current situation of our clan." Angmar said in a timely manner.

"Blood Knight" Kael'thas smacked the taste of the word and quickly smiled, "Okay, then I'll call you Blood Knight Salorian. After you recover from your injury, you will be responsible for assisting Liadrin in carrying out the blood knight's mission." Selection and training work.”

The Salorian Morningseeker nodded solemnly.

"Lor'themar," he looked at Lor'themar, who immediately straightened his back and waited for the order, "recover Fairwind Village as soon as possible and wipe out the wandering undead near Silvermoon City. In addition, let Halduron speed up before going south. The undead and defense issues in Silvermoon City must be completely resolved.”

Finally, Kael'thas said to Rommath: "I leave it to you to repair the energy network of the Tower of the Sun and the temples in the Eversong Forest. We must calm down the chaos of the magic network and restore the warmth to the Eversong Forest." "

Romans' eyes sharpened instantly, and he slightly lowered his jaw in response.

"Everyone, in half a month, I want to see the initial results of your work Liadrin. You are already specialized in the way of Holy Light. I hope you can learn at least half of the spells in the Holy Contract. Three months Within half a month, I will be able to pass it on to those who come after me.”

Kael'thas narrowed his eyes and said in a sonorous voice: "We will respond to Dalaran's call and go south to work with our allies to deal with the threat of the Burning Legion."
