Rise of the blood elves

Maiev frowned and said, "Since everyone has given the important task of distributing food and fresh water to the Sisters of Elune, please believe that we can do it fairly and justly. Now is a special period, we should"

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Look at these guys," someone said angrily, pointing to Paoze, who was seriously injured on a stretcher. "We lack medical treatment and medicine, and we can't save them at all. What's the point of wasting the few supplies we have on them?" We should give them a good time. This is good for everyone."

"You are a lackey raised by the nobles." A strong man with a bandage on his arm walked quickly, picked up the speaker with his good hand and scolded him, "If we hadn't sacrificed our lives to fight, how could you be standing here now? The battle is over, we are about to cut off our food and water.”

"That's right. These noble private soldiers who are greedy for life and fear death have always been hiding behind us."

"Damn it, let me go, you stupid farmer"

The conflict between the two men quickly aroused deep-rooted conflicts within the army.The wounded soldiers immediately divided into two groups and started blaming each other.

Maiev and a fellow priestess looked at each other and saw deep concern in each other's eyes.

The composition of the troops led by Star Eyes is extremely complex.Among the total of 1 soldiers, 2 are the private armed forces of the eastern nobles represented by him, [-] are the first-line regular army baggage troops pulled from the eastern border, and the remaining [-] are recruited in the Suramar area. New recruits and veterans who had participated in the expansion war.

Star Eyes is the highest-ranking noble in this army. According to the laws of the Kaldorei Empire, he should enjoy irrefutable command rights.Another commander with a similar status to him is Tersod, the leader of the 13 eastern border regular troops and the commander of the Empire's No. [-] Legion.

The two were supposed to make decisions together.

However, given that the third component of this army, that is, the [-] recruits and retired veterans, were all recruited and armed by the eastern nobles, and the officers at all levels were sent by the eastern nobles, this resulted in the The eastern nobles headed by Star Eyes occupy more seats, so Star Eyes still has slightly more say than the commander of the Tersoder Legion.

The problem lies with Star Eyes.

This high-ranking elf noble's prediction of the war situation was seriously inadequate.To a large extent, they regard this war as a game of seeking military exploits and rewards, and underestimate the strength of the enemy.

On the way to the Edori Pass, whenever he encountered a small group of demons that blocked or harassed him, he would always send out the private army of the eastern nobles to fight against them. He called it training the armed forces of the nobles who had never been on the battlefield in order to fight against them. Arrive at Edori Pass with greater military prowess.

But in fact, everyone knows that he just wants to take the credit.It is completely effortless to defeat these demons. After the battle is completed, the achievements of the eastern nobles will be highlighted in the daily battle report in exchange for the Queen's favor.

The regular army faction has been watching this with a cold eye. Of course they are aware of these small actions, but they don't take it seriously. They just hope to reach the Edori Pass as soon as possible and stay away from this wealthy noble.

Ten days ago, the troops suddenly lost contact with the front line.The military mage made many attempts but failed to restore communication.The troops had no choice but to continue marching to find a solution.But that night, a strange scene happened.

One moment, they were walking on the fertile fields of the Eastern Great Plains where birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The next moment, they were entering the dead land they were in now.There are green clouds rolling in the sky, the whirlpool is spinning endlessly, it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, and there is endless wasteland in all directions.

No one can explain how they walked in.The top brass of the army immediately made the decision to return along the way they came, but after walking for a long time, they found that they were just going around in circles.The mage accompanying the army speculated that the troops were affected by the illusion, but no one dared to imagine what kind of existence could drag 5 people into the illusion at the same time without the recipients being aware of it.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out of the predicament.For a while, everyone was in danger, but in this situation, they had no choice but to use existing means to locate themselves and keep moving in one direction, hoping to get out of the scope of the illusion before the supplies were exhausted.

The demons did not let them get what they wanted. Every day, a large number of demons took turns consuming their energy, but they tried their best not to kill any night elves.Gradually, there were more and more wounded in the army, and the shortage of medical supplies became more and more severe.

In the illusion, the reconnaissance magic of the accompanying military mage was completely ineffective, and the demon, who was so comfortable in water, could not be detected by the naked eye until it was several kilometers away.Many attacks amount to surprise attacks.

The soldiers had to tense up at all times to guard against the sneak attack that would come at any time.It was extremely painful to be harassed in just a few days.

Food and fresh water, even though they had been rationed since the day they entered the illusion, were almost exhausted today.The soldiers lacked medical treatment, food and clothing, and all of them were undergoing unprecedented tests.

But the real troubles faced by this complex army are far more terrifying than these.

In these days of fighting, Star Eye and some of the eastern nobles with command power have repeatedly exposed their own shortcomings, and their wrong decisions and tactics have caused many unnecessary casualties to the troops.

In a battle a few days ago, the troops were attacked from two sides. Star Eyes and No. 13 Legion Commander Telsoud were in charge of one side of the battle respectively.But Star Eyes ignored a cavalry unit under Tersod when it was besieged and allowed it to be annihilated by demons, almost causing the front line on that side to be breached.

Afterwards, Tersod exploded, accusing Star Eyes of only caring about preserving his own strength, regardless of the overall safety of the troops.Star Eyes's defense was so pale that he actually claimed that Tersoud himself suggested that he do this.

how can that be

Cracks arise and the seeds of conflict take root and sprout.The aristocratic private army hid food and drinking water, refused to share it, and repeatedly gave up advantageous positions during battles, causing casualties to friendly forces. It was a bad record.The new recruits, who have always been regarded as cannon fodder, completely distrust them, the veterans are dissatisfied with them, and the regular soldiers of the No. 13 Legion also regard them as a cancer.

The eastern nobles headed by Xingyan have become a existence that almost everyone shouts about.

But it was that night a few days ago that completely intensified the internal conflicts in this unit. The commander of the No. 13 Legion, Tersod, was assassinated, and the murderer turned out to be Star Eye's personal guard captain.Even though the subsequent investigation clearly showed that there were traces of evil magic on the body of Star-Eyed's personal guard captain, and that he was controlled by the devil to commit such evil deeds, the anger accumulated by the soldiers of the No. 13 Legion in the past few days was no longer enough. Control, anger finally overwhelmed reason, and actually launched an attack on the aristocratic private army garrison.

The conflict soon evolved into armed fighting, and the armed fighting evolved into armed confrontation. In this strange illusion, it seemed that the negative emotions in people's hearts were completely aroused, and they were out of control.In just a few hours, more than a thousand people were injured and more than 200 soldiers died.

If the middle-level officers hadn't stayed awake and tried their best to calm down the conflict, maybe that night, this army would have been completely annihilated by the demons waiting for work.

What's more terrifying is yet to come. In the past two days, many soldiers have claimed that the souls of their dead comrades have come to their dreams and brought terrible news. The front line has been defeated, and no one can stop the wave of demons.

Many soldiers also described an eerie dream that was surprisingly consistent.A woman wearing white clothes and exuding holy light turned her back to them and cried endlessly. Some people said that it was Elune who was crying, there was no hope, and the devil was destined to destroy the world.

Even if people know that this is in an illusion and everything may be a conspiracy of the devil, in such a desperate situation, who can really not be affected at all?

"Enough of what you are doing"

Just when the two groups of wounded were about to fight, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the crowd.Jarod Shadowsong stood out from the crowd. After seeing this resolute-faced guard captain, whether he was a wounded soldier from the noble private army, a regular soldier from the No. 13 legion, or a newly recruited recruit and returning The veterans all fell silent.

Jarod Shadowsong is highly respected.

On the night when the commander of the Tersod Legion was assassinated, if the guard captain from Suramar City had not organized an effective defense and called on everyone to stabilize the defense line, they might have died in the demon's surprise attack.

"water, water"

There was a sudden noise at the front of the line, attracting everyone's attention.

People looked around in shock, and saw more and more soldiers breaking away from the team and running madly down the hillside.

Through the gaps in the crowd, you can vaguely see sweet spring water gushing out from a spring.As soon as they saw the gurgling spring water, the soldiers could no longer look away.
