Rise of the blood elves

"Calia Menethil." Angmar silently read the name on the letter, thoughtfully.

She is the eldest daughter of King Terenas, the hero of Lordaeron, and the sister of the fallen prince Arthas.Ten years ago, she was almost married by her father to Deathwing, the incarnation of Lord Prestor, for the purpose of political marriage. In fact, since she met Presto once, all her original dissatisfaction disappeared, and she was attracted by Presto. Risto was smitten.

Later, Deathwing was defeated by the four dragon kings, and Lord Presto disappeared for no reason. This good story finally "ended without any problem."

When Arthas killed his father and destroyed the country at the beginning of the year, Calia disappeared. Countless capable people loyal to the Kingdom of Lordaeron tried their best to find her, believing that she had been killed by the undead.

In fact, she was not dead. According to the official history, the resurrected Archbishop Fao accidentally found her and guided her to follow the path of the Holy Light and become a priest.But Angmar changed Faol's fate and indirectly changed Calia's fate.

As a result, she embarked on a completely different life trajectory.

"Calia, the only remaining heir to the throne of Lordaeron"

Calia was very depressed during this period, and was hit hard by Alsace's betrayal and the death of her father. If it weren't for Faol's teachings, she might have continued to sink.But for such a weak woman, to those Lordaeron soldiers who were still fighting, her appeal was so strong that even she herself could not imagine it.

Seeing this name, the first thing Angmar thought of was a land encompassing the Strait of Sador (the natural chasm where the Sador Bridge is located, which separates the wetlands and the Arathi Highlands, and is also an important geographical landmark that divides the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom continent). A geopolitical alliance composed of multiple countries and organizations.Calia's influence on the remnants of Lordaeron can be used.

For the upcoming Alliance and Horde, the power of this alliance cannot be underestimated.The same is true for the Lich King in Northrend.The people of the northern continent who were destroyed by the Scourge Legion share the same hatred. This is the natural bond that closely connects everyone.

The population of the blood elves is declining, and their rise is far away. It will be difficult for them to catch up with the mainstream ethnic groups in Azeroth in a short time. If they want to increase their voice and influence, and occupy a place in the Alliance or the Horde, they must rely on and use the outside world. With all his strength, he finally went north to kill his enemy Alsace.

Regardless of the outcome of the Third War, in this three-thirds of an acre in the northern part of the Eastern Continent, the blood elves, which have eliminated most threats, will be one of the most powerful remaining forces, only after the upcoming Forgotten Ones.How to leverage this advantage is a question worth pondering.If we can win over everyone, we will have more protection when we launch the final battle against the Lich King in the future.

Angmar only had a preliminary plan in his mind, and he still had to decide how to do it step by step, but at least he understood that things depended on man-made factors.

He made up his mind, collected the letter and walked out.

Seeing that he was about to leave, a magician who was adjusting the magic device asked: "Sanxi, where are you going?"

The tone was very humble.

In the temple hall, whether they were recording the readings of changes in the magic network, casting spells to infuse arcane energy into the sacred tree, or the mages communicating with the night elf druids, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at those who walked to the door. Angmar.

"I may have to go out for a while and continue to cultivate the core of the Holy Tree according to the method I summarized." He said, "The focus of my future work will be on accelerating the growth of the Holy Tree."

Everyone nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Angmar bowed slightly, turned and left.

After he left, researcher Duer sighed: "When the three seats leave, our work efficiency will be reduced by at least half."

"Half" Intermediate mage Xing Ge inserted the mana crystal into the stabilizer, shook his head and said: "It has to be reduced by at least 80.00%. How did you say that the three seats did it? Except for him, the Holy Tree does not communicate with others at all, Anweina And never smile in front of others.”

Duer squinted at the readings of the stabilizer, made two notes in his notes, and said, "Shut down the No. 3 pipeline for three minutes. The energy of the magic network will overflow."

An apprentice immediately followed the order.

Duer put away his notes, "I heard that the three seats have been blessed by the holy tree and have long been closely connected with the Sunwell. Based on this alone"

He quietly glanced at the magisters who were assigning tasks to everyone, turned around and whispered in Xingge's ear: "It's hard to say who will be the next great magister."

"Come on," Xing Ge smiled and waved his hand, "San Xi is only in his 20s. Most people at this age are still endorsing in the academy."

"Are the three seats ordinary people?" Duer's eyes were bright.

Xing Ge was stunned for two seconds, then nodded with deep understanding: "No."

"Duer, Xingge, you are lazy again." Suddenly, the angry voice of Magister Carlyle came from afar.

The two of them shivered and hurriedly went to do what they had to do.

Due to the importance of the Holy Tree and the Sunwell to the blood elves, after being promoted to the third position, Angmar was allocated far more manpower than normal needs.There are more than 20 mid-level mages, seven or eight high-level mages and three magisters to assist him in his work.

These people are all scholar-type mages selected from a hundred, and they used to study the Sunwell before the natural disaster came.When it comes to understanding wells, few can surpass them.One of the magisters even proposed a brand-new energy transmission theory, which reduced the energy transmission loss from Quel'Danas Island to Quel'Thanas, and gained a high reputation in the country.

They were naturally unconvinced by the airborne appointment of young Angmar.It is believed that he only obtained this position by relying on the favor of the prince.But after a few days of working together, no one dared to look down upon him.

Because his ability to communicate with the Holy Tree and the New Sunwell {Anweina} is several times stronger than all of them combined.He can use the energy of the well at his fingertips, making the magician Carlyle, who has been immersed in this way for more than a thousand years, ashamed, and he can also carry huge magic power that can burst a legendary strongman.

Who can be dissatisfied? Who dares to disobey? From the initial doubt to the current admiration, the transformation is so fast that it is staggering.

Even the magister Carlyle, who has the highest status among these people, couldn't help but admire: "With such potential, I am afraid that within a few years, the three seats of Angmar will become an existence that we and others can look up to."

In more than 800 years, no one has been as closely connected to the Sunwell as the three seats. The Sunwell is the most precious treasure of the blood elves. As it recovers, this ability becomes even more important.

How can a three-seat position be worthy of such a unique ability? Some people think that if Angmar hadn't been too young, he might have been the chief.

"please wait"

Not far away, he heard someone calling him. Angmar stopped and found that it was the druid sent by Fandral. His name seemed to be

Can not remember.

The druid wore a plain cardigan robe decorated with some kind of toughened leaves.I don't know why, but his face was full of excitement, as if he had run over, and he was panting and out of breath.

"Sath'ala and the Emerald Dream are connected," the druid, who was a full head taller than Angmar, said excitedly, "It's incredible."

Emerald Dream Angmar thought to himself, isn't the Holy Tree originally connected to the Emerald Dream? What's so exciting about this? It's like discovering a new continent.

The Druid was still minding his own business and said: "I hope you will allow us to widen the channel connecting the Emerald Dream. If the holy tree can be included in the dream, all natural creatures here will benefit immensely."

As long as it is related to spreading vitality, these druids will flock to it.After arriving here, they were either investigating the ecology or busy awakening the vitality of the sacred tree. They had no time to spare.Angmar admired his selfless work attitude.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the druid said anxiously: "Without the life energy of the dream, your holy tree cannot be restored to its original state. No matter whether it is good for the holy tree or the ecology, this is completely beneficial."

Angmar was in a dilemma.

Anweina has been finalized, but the core of the Holy Tree combined with the remains of the Sunwell has a lot of room for growth. In time, it may not be able to match Anweina's energy intensity.Had he not known that the nightmare would engulf the Emerald Dream in a few years, he would have agreed to the druid's request.

"Can the passage be closed after it is opened? I mean can the Holy Tree be allowed to escape from the Emerald Dream?" Angmar asked. He did not want the Holy Tree to be corrupted by the nightmare.

"What?" Druid didn't know why. In his opinion, this was a great good thing that benefited all things. Why are there still people who don't want to do it?

"Okay, yes, yes. But without the nourishment of dreams, the holy tree will gradually shrink no matter how big it grows." The Druid replied helplessly.

"How long will the separation process take?" Angmar asked again.

The druid was a little depressed by the cautious attitude of this layman, and patiently explained: "It's only a few days at most."

That's all. Angmar was overjoyed and claimed that he would ask His Royal Highness Prince Bingming to make a decision. He also said that he might not be around during this period and that all work plans could be discussed and decided with Magister Carlyle.

Bidding farewell to the overjoyed big druid, Angmar arrived at the location of Prince Kael'thas.The prince will stay on Quel'Danas Island in the near future and is currently reviewing domestic government documents.

Angmar told him good news about the tree.After careful and detailed questioning, the prince nodded in agreement.Today, the prince has paid more and more attention to Angmar's advice and had a long chat with him for a whole afternoon, talking about everything from military to politics.

Angmar is not good at these aspects, and only has a few general directions in his mind that are not well thought out.

On the military level, the blood elves suffered a sudden disaster and the population was greatly reduced, and the fertility rate was extremely low. They could only make up for the lack of soldiers with elite high-end combat power.The Blood Knights and Spellbreakers are both elite troops that are extremely difficult to train and cannot meet the demand in the short term.

Angmar said that now that Anveena has returned and the sacred tree is thriving, the blood elves have once again gained a huge source of energy and should take this opportunity to train a large number of mage apprentices.It is not necessary for them to master comprehensive knowledge, it is enough to be able to skillfully use lethal spells.In this way, training costs can be greatly reduced.

As a result, Prince Kael'thas was already doing something similar. Under his order, all magic academies that reopened for classes relaxed their entry requirements and selected all apprentices with magical talents for unilateral training.

The prince handed him several draft plans, which contained new rules for military rank promotion, standards for rewards and punishments for idle mages to accept apprentices on their own, and standards for talent selection that broke the old concepts of Quel'Thalas.

After reading many detailed and thoughtful drafts, Angmar could only shake his head and sigh: I can think of it, how could the majestic Sun King not think of it?

"Your Highness, I want to travel far." Angmar handed Quel'thas's magical letter to Kael'thas.

After Kael'thas scanned everything, he raised his head with interest and said with a smile: "Why, I feel that my current job is too boring and I want to go out for a walk."

"Uh"

"This is humankind's own business. Don't worry. I will order someone to inform Dalaran about this. Your task is to take care of Anveena and the Holy Tree. No one except you is qualified for this job." He said. Kael'thas lowered his head, picked up the quill and started writing on the document.

Angmar knew that His Highness the Prince would not let him go unless he showed his true abilities.

He took a deep breath and prepared to start his tirade.
