Rise of the blood elves

Just as news of the Burning Legion's invasion swept across Azeroth, and various tribes were preparing to send envoys to Dalaran for confirmation, the blood elves were still struggling to escape their tragic fate.

Fortunately, the undead left in Quel'Thalas are basically mindless wanderers, at least those north of the Arendal River.These undead souls have no unified leadership and will only act according to instinct, attacking all living things that can be discovered with incomplete senses. This is the only good news for the arduous cleanup work.

Most of them are concentrated in the Scourge's march route from south to north, from the southern border of Quel'Thalas to the Sunwell Highlands on Quel'Danas Island, which is several hundred meters wide and more than a thousand kilometers long. .

Looking down from a high altitude, this route, trampled by countless natural disasters and full of corruption and death, is like a scar in the beautiful forest.

Now it has a new name: Mark of Death.

The southern Eversong Forest, that is, the forest south of the Allendale River that was burned by the red dragons driven by the orcs during the Second War, was much more severely affected than the northern part.

More than ten years have passed, and the forest, which has finally regained its vitality from the ashes, has been completely destroyed due to the arrival of natural disasters.The plague completely corrupted the land, and countless undead were entrenched in it.

People call it the "Land of Ghosts" to pay homage to the countless sad souls who died from natural disasters.

In half a month, Kael'thas led his troops to completely recover Silvermoon City, which was almost in ruins.

In order to eliminate the corrupting influence of the plague, after collecting any usable supplies, the magisters had to use magic to light a fire and burn Silvermoon City.

The fire burned all night, and even Qingfeng Village dozens of kilometers away could see the night sky lit by the fire that night.

The flames purified the corruption caused by the plague and swallowed up the mountains of undead corpses.But what was also burned to the ground was the capital of the high elves that had stood in the north of Quel'Thalas for dozens of centuries.

Most of Dongcheng District, except for the Garden Market, was reduced to a sea of ​​flames.

The Farstrider rangers, under the leadership of the new ranger general Lor'themar Theron, cleared away the undead outside Silvermoon City and restored smooth roads to Fairwind Village. The less affected western region was able to communicate with Silverymoon. The city has restored connectivity.Survivors or small groups of previously dispersed troops are constantly returning to Silvermoon City.

The newly reorganized Sunfury Legion headed east, preparing to build a defense line fifty kilometers south of Darth Visor Magic Academy to guard against the trolls in Torvasari. At the same time, they would clear out the wandering undead along the way and allow them to inhabit villages one by one. Restore safety.

The recovery operation against Yongsong Forest is in full swing, and everything seems to be getting better.At this gratifying rate, within a year and a half, the vast forests north of the Arendal River will return to the hands of the blood elves and regain their former vitality.

When the survival of the race was in danger, Prince Kael'thas showed strong leadership skills and a dazzling charisma like the dawn of dawn.

He broke the deep-rooted lineage theory that had been practiced in high elf society for thousands of years, and discovered talents from all social strata. A large number of talented people with lofty ideals appeared in important positions that were once monopolized by nobles, and were able to display their outstanding talents.

For example, Gacios, a once unknown junior officer, was promoted to the first adjutant of the commander of the Silvermoon City garrison because of his outstanding performance in the battle to regain Silvermoon City.

Saranis, the former captain of the Third Squadron of the Border Guard Army, is quick-thinking and proficient in tactics, but was not reused because of her poor background.She is now the only female member of the Sunfury Legion's staff team. She has planned and led five reconnaissance and sneak attacks against Torvasa, and has been a great success without exception.

In addition, plot characters that Angmar was once familiar with have also begun to emerge.Tyrazon Thathriel, the brother of Baron Thathriel; Caine Sunfury; Duchess Marande who succeeded her deceased father's title; Pasarion who is proficient in mathematics and engineering

These people with lofty ideals will follow the prince's footsteps to the death and happily devote themselves to regaining the country and saving their homeland.

Tower of the Sun, Sun Chaser Island, midnight.

"You learned very quickly, actually, too quickly." Looking at Angmar, Rommath was so surprised that he sighed repeatedly, "Come on, I still have some final things to teach you about spell casting skills. ."

Looking at the extra line of numbers in the skill column of the attribute panel, Angmar was filled with joy and bowed respectfully to Romans: "Thank you, Master Romans, for your teachings these days."

Rommath has been running around repairing the magic network connection for the past half month, and Angmar has been following him for a month.

From the several long-abandoned magic temples at the ancient magic network nodes in the extremely dangerous Ghost Land, to the two temples in the Eversong Forest that have not yet resumed operation.During the day, Angmar assisted the legendary mage in consulting the classics and worked with the magisters to repair the magical devices in the temple.In the evening, Rommath taught Angmar the valuable experience he had gained from being immersed in arcane magic for many years.

Angmar knows that the native creatures of Azeroth have never known what experience is. This is a traveler benefit that only belongs to him.

For him, experience points can be used to upgrade and learn skills, and are one of the most valuable things.

During his time in Lordaeron, he participated in a large-scale battle and completed an elite mission to enter the Tomb of Tyr and kill Zakaz.

The total amount of experience gained reached an astonishing 20.

It was enough for him to upgrade his level to Elite 10.

But just increasing the level is nothing more than increasing the attribute points.Although the three levels of high-level elites have considerable attribute growth for each level, they cannot bring about a transformation in strength.

Unless one can break through to the epic level in one fell swoop, there is no essential difference between elite level 10 and level 7.

The key factor that really affects a person's combat effectiveness is the number of skills he masters.

A mid-level elite who masters a large number of skills can still win even if he faces a high-level elite with much higher attributes.Of course, this phenomenon is not common.

The main skills of the profession will derive many small skills. For example, the "Master Level Evocation Spell Casting Technique" he just learned is a branch-derived skill of the Evocation Department.

Just like the literal description, this is a technical top-level auxiliary skill, which is directly reflected in simplifying spells to increase spell casting speed, optimizing mana output and reducing mana consumption.

Ordinary people do not have attribute panels, and those who can reach the corresponding level of "Master Level Evocation Spell Casting Skills" are all legendary mages who have studied this skill for many years and have summarized their experience through countless spell castings.

But Angmar can choose to avoid this cumbersome procedure and spend some experience points to speed up the learning process, which is undoubtedly a big shortcut.

This is why he was favored by his mentor during his apprenticeship. Who doesn't like "smart" students?

In addition to the branch-derived skills just now, Romance taught him the prerequisite skills for the mage's advanced epic field: advanced arcane mastery.

Fortunately, he didn't put all his experience into it at once, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to learn this "master-level evocation spell casting technique".

He quickly browsed through his properties panel.

"Come on, show me your learning results." Romance waved his hand, used magic to push away the tables, chairs and books everywhere to clear the place, and also summoned a target made of arcane energy.

Angmar did not dare to fully display the master-level skills he had just learned, and used advanced skills to weave a fireball technique, the most basic of the evocation system.

With the spells and gestures in place, fire elements simulated by arcane magic began to gather in his palm, and soon a fireball the size of a coconut was formed.

He marked the target with arcane magic, then opened his hands and pushed the fireball out.

The fireball, which escaped the shackles of its master, flew toward the target like a meteorite, exploding with a "boom" sound.

"Genius, what a genius." Romans praised with eyes shining.

I wonder what his expression will be when he learns that Angmar has mastered master-level spellcasting skills.

"His Highness just sent a message, asking you to rush back to Silver Moon City to meet him early tomorrow morning. Of course, you can also go back now. The teleportation orb has been reactivated. If you put your hand on it, you can teleport to the Garden Market."

As he spoke, Romans cast a spell to restore the room to its original state, and once again sat behind the desk and read ancient books.

"Okay, thank you again for your teachings these days, Master Romance."

Angmar stepped back respectfully and closed the door gently. He was ready to go back now.

Kael'thas is so busy these days that Angmar has no chance to talk to him. He must ask the blood elf leader as soon as possible about his specific plans for going south.

At the same time, Angmar was also considering whether he should tell Kael'thas about Anveena, the incarnation of the Essence of the Sunwell, and what to say, as it might involve the traitor Dar'Kan.

"By the way, help me find Solamnia" Romance's voice came from behind the door.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Angmar responded.

Wellkeeper Solamnia, you can't sleep again.

Romance is a typical workaholic. In order to make the spell that keeps the Eversong Forest spring-like all year round, it still takes effect without the energy supply from the Sunwell. He reads a lot of ancient classics and rests for no more than five hours a day. Even eating is in the pile of books.

The busiest person these days, apart from Angmar who travels between Fasselin College and the Royal Library of Silvermoon City to collect relevant expositions for him, is Solamnia, the well guard who came to the Tower of the Sun after the destruction of the Sunwell. Now, I often have to stay up all night with Roman to read ancient books and study magic theories.

The legendary mage is probably the only one who dares to use and can use the well-respected Well Guard Solamnia.
