Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Miss Maiev, who had witnessed the disaster with her own eyes, heard Black's inquiry, which made her feel that the mysterious gentleman beside her seemed to have a way to save the crisis.

Pirates certainly can.

Now he can easily kill through the demon army alone when he goes to Zin Assali and strangle all the evil elements in that city one by one.

Or simply have a central flower.

Stand on top of Queen Azshara's palace and perform "The Coming of the Silent", easily driving all the demons insane and causing them to kill each other.

This is very easy for a living god.

But therein lies the problem.

The pirates' actions 10,000 years ago were, to put it bluntly, a "smuggling".

Although the conspirators in the other world have not yet sent their minions of death to Azeroth, given the importance of this world, Emperor Denathrius has already laid out his spies.

The Dread Lords who came with the Legion all had the eyes of the King of Sin. Once Black showed up here with great fanfare, his plan to meet Sargeras was ruined.

Although the time span is 10,000 years apart, the impact of changing time on the future is instantaneous. Blake has experienced this many times.

The increase in "non-existent memories" is simply hard to guard against.

He had to keep a low profile.

To put it simply, you must play the negative side, not the positive side.

Fortunately, Black is better at this kind of covert destruction than frontal combat. His old silver coin style can maximize destructive power and stealth under such tactics.

"Go ahead and tell the high-ranking priests in the temple what you saw, and they will report it to the city's higher-ups."

Black patted the pale Miss Maiev on the shoulder and said in his ear:

"Let them be prepared for the demon's attack. As for the refugees, they can be saved, but it depends on your army's organization and determination."

"Must be saved!"

Maiev made the Luna Church's ritual gesture on her chest, and she said seriously:

"This is Lady Elune's teaching."

"No, the Moon Goddess will not appear at this time. I made an agreement with her in advance, you little fool."

The pirate corrected:

"This is entirely your own idea."

"Can you save them? Lord Black, if you are strong enough to talk to Ms. Elune, you must have a way to calm all this, right?"

Maiev looked at the pirate, who shrugged and said casually:

"You can, but it's not necessary. This is not my war, Miss Priest, this is your trouble. My involvement in it will not do you or me any good at all.

But I promised that you can make a request to me every time you hear a story. So, Miss Maiev, do you want me to save those poor people who are about to fall into the mouth of the devil? "

"I"

Maiev wanted to answer, but saw Blake put his finger in front of her face and shook his head. The pirate said in a meaningful tone:

"Remember our conversation last night? You should be more careful before making a wish."

The trainee priest hesitated for a moment. She thought seriously for a moment and nodded to Black. This opportunity to make a wish was temporarily saved, and with the help of the pirate driving wind, she was sent back to the temple dome.

Maiev straightened her clothes and walked quickly towards the stairs of the temple. She wanted to tell the high priest what she had just seen. Behind her, Black reminded:

"Attribute everything to the revelation of the Moon God, Miss Maiev. For the sake of the mental safety of the priests, please do not expose my existence for the time being."

"I see."

Maiev replied and quickly walked down the stairs to the temple hall.

At a glance, she saw Tyrande, the trainee priest who was on duty to clean the temple today, talking to a tall moon guard on the grass in front of the temple.

Maiev recognized that guy.

His name is Illidan Stormrage. He is Tyrande's good friend who grew up with him. He seems to have an older brother. Looking at the powerful and mysterious Moon Guard robes on his body, this kid should have joined Kutalos. Under the command of Lord Ravencrest.

Miss Shadowsong is not a gossip.

She didn't think of stepping forward to eavesdrop on the conversation between the childhood sweethearts.

But she keenly sensed Illidan's anxiety, and seemed to be persuading Tyrande to leave the temple and go to a safer place.

This made Maiev feel that the situation was serious again. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the high priest's meditation room, walked in, and told her mentor everything she saw.

"This is Lady Elune's will, mentor. She allowed me to see all of this, the people who escaped from Zin-Azshari, and those terrifying alien demons. This is a warning from the gods.

We must report this situation immediately. "

Maiev's report made the high-ranking priest look at her talented disciple in surprise.

She hesitated.

It stands to reason that clergy should pay attention to such "oracles", but now it is different from the past. After Lord Ravencrest took over the city's defense, it may be inappropriate to rely on oracles without providing evidence. .

After all, the high lord is an upper elf who does not believe in the moon god. They believe more in the evidence they have seen with their own eyes and the logic based on arcane power.

But High Priest Ms. Diana believes that her apprentices will not joke about this kind of thing. Maiev Shadowsong is one of her two most promising apprentices. This girl will definitely become Elune in the future. High priest.

She couldn't lie in the name of the gods.

"You and I come, and we will inform the great lord of the information you saw."

The high-ranking priest thought for a moment, stood up and said something to her disciple, but there were still some words she had not said.

Diana was well aware of Maiev's intention to tell her this information, and her apprentice hoped to save those who were fleeing. However, as a high-ranking priest who had participated in foreign wars with trolls, Lady Diana knew very well the way soldiers think.

If the terrifying demon is really about to attack, Lord Ravencrest will probably not take the risk of dispersing the city's defense forces and allocate his strength to save the poor people who are being pursued.

The war came so suddenly, and the city's defense was far from complete.

Young Maiev did not realize this. While her mentor was preparing, she quickly returned to her dormitory, took off her bow and put on her quiver, and also took out a sword and wore it behind her back.

The priests of Elune are not just reciting scriptures. Every high-level priest is a very powerful warrior. But as Black complained before, the Elven Empire has been at peace for too long, and the trainee priests are not familiar with combat skills. The practice is somewhat rusty.

She walked out of the Temple of the Moon and followed her mentor on a walking Mistsaber to the headquarters of Lord Ravencrest. This scene was noticed by Tyrande who was sending Illidan away outside the temple.

She saw her companion Maiev and her mentor leaving with weapons, and the smart trainee priest looked at Illidan beside her who was persuading her to leave Suramar.

She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:

"Illidan, tell me honestly, is this city going to change? Is a war coming?"

"Well"

Illidan bit his lip. He glanced at the beautiful cheeks of the girl who grew up with him, which fascinated him. After a few seconds, he whispered with a straight face:

"I can't tell you, this is military business."

Although he refused, it was actually a change of affirmation, which fully proved Illidan's cleverness. He had been very good at this kind of thinking loophole behavior since he was a child.

"Is that why you persuade me to leave Suramar and go to a safer place?"

Tyrande took a deep breath, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and said:

"Does Malfurion know?"

Hearing that Tyrande was immediately concerned about Malfurion after learning of the danger, a dim light flashed across Illidan's unique amber eyes. He shook his head and said:

"I can't contact my brother. He must still be learning spells with the old-fashioned Cenarius in the forest. Val'sharah is far away from here, and he will not be in danger.

What matters now is you, Tyrande.

You must obey!

Leave here immediately, and I will use magic to send you to the Moon Guard Fortress. From there, you can go to Val'sharah to find Malfurion, who will protect you. "

"how about you?"

Tyrande frowned and said:

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"I am a soldier, Tyrande."

Illidan touched the emblem of Black Crow Castle on his chest and said:

"Lord Kutalos values ​​me. He said that I will definitely achieve a great career. He gave me respect and the opportunity to display my ambitions. I can't let him down, and I can't let myself down.

I will prove to Malfurion that even if I cannot become a qualified druid, I will become a powerful mage.

those demons

Don't worry about me, Tyrande, I've already killed a demon!

I will kill more. "

Tyrande wanted to say something to Illand, but a few seconds later a low horn sounded in the distance. Illidan looked up suddenly, then lowered his head and said to Tyrande:

"That's the summoning horn of the Moon Guard. Something must have happened. I have to go gather. Tyrande, be obedient! Don't be stubborn at this time and get out of here."

Take your companions and leave together. You are just trainee priests. You should not set foot on the battlefield.

Be good, okay? "

After saying that, Illidan glanced at Tyrande one last time, turned around, mounted his Black Panther and ran towards the center of the city.

Tyrande, who was wearing a moon-white priestly robe, watched her good friend leave with concern. She felt the deep meaning in Illidan's words and some of his passionate feelings for her, which made the young priest feel confused.

She bit her lip to calm herself down. Now that the news of the coming war had been confirmed, she had to prepare for it.

She won't leave.

Not just because Lady Elune's temple is here, not just because of the moon god's teachings, but also because the city where she grew up needs her.

All this was seen by Blake who was standing on the dome of the Temple of the Moon. The pirate held the wine bottle with a very strange smile on his face.

It's like an aunt laughing.

"Well, the green love of young people is so beautiful. The sweet feeling is like the taste of first love. Unfortunately, the young and shy Illidan doesn't know how to grasp the tail of love.

He hasn't lost yet.

At least not yet.

They all started to move, and it was time for me to move around. "

He laughed and jumped forward as Tyrande walked into the Temple of the Moon. He jumped from the 100-meter-high dome and disappeared halfway into the air.

In the city headquarters, the serious-looking Lord Ravencrest listened to the report of the high priest Ms. Diana.

He frowned.

Although the lady could not provide any evidence and only told the news of the coming demon in the name of the moon god's revelation, the great lord did not think that the news was forged.

The belief in the Moon God is the oldest inheritance of the Elf Empire. A high-ranking priest would not joke about such a thing. However, the high lord rejected the rescue plan proposed by Priest Diana without hesitation.

"The city's defenses are severely inadequate, ma'am."

The high lord looked at the defense map in front of him. He was shocked by the number of gaps in the city's defenses. He shook his head and said:

"The soldiers are gathering. They rely on teleportation to rush here to complete the defense. The time is very tight. The Moon Protector Fortress is also gathering. The number of mages can guarantee that the shield will be supported outside the city.

There is no more power left. "

"Are we going to let our compatriots die at the hands of demons? They escaped from Zin-Azshari and came here just for a remaining hope!"

Miss Maiev, who was standing behind Priest Diana, couldn't help but say:

"We can't do this!"

The high lord was not offended by the trainee priest's rebuttal. He just looked at Maiev indifferently and said softly:

"Miss Priest, do you know how many civilians in this city are eager to be protected? I know this is cruel, but I must consider the safety of most people.

However, if you can organize manpower without disturbing the army's defense, I can allow you to act on your own. As far as I know, there should be some trainee priests in the Moon Temple who have not been assigned tasks. "

"You're asking them to die, Ravencrest."

Dean Alya Blue Moon, who was resting next to the great lord with her eyes closed, shook her head and said:

"The trainee priests have no fighting ability. They have never dealt with demons. In fact, neither have we."

"Let me go!"

Just as a group of people were arguing, a deep voice sounded outside the hall. Lord Ravencrest suddenly looked up and saw the alien emperor walking in with a beautiful and majestic staff.

Emperor Shaohao, wearing monk uniform, said:

"I know the significance of city defense. You really shouldn't use your hands to weaken your own strength at this time. Miss Priest, if you can accurately point out the location of the group of escapees, then I can bring them back."

"Your Majesty Shaohao, you are a distinguished guest."

The high lord frowned and said:

"I don't want to see the nobles of foreign races being harmed on our land."

"I am a legendary monk."

Shaohao glanced at the great lord and said:

"I also have a demigod guard. It is no exaggeration to say that I am the most powerful person in this city. The strong naturally protect the weak. Is this a mistake in your elven culture?"

"I can be your guide, Your Majesty."

Maiev did not hesitate, she said:

"I still remember the route of those innocent people. With the help of spellcasters, they should have reached the hills near the Great Temple by now."

"The Great Temple is the front line of the battle line. I arranged for Captain Asa Asahi Yue to command the hunter troops to set up defenses there."

Lord Ravencrest pointed at the map and said to Emperor Shaohao:

"If your rescue goes well, take them there. If it doesn't go well, retreat immediately. That place will become the first line of battle against the devil."

"Um."

The emperor nodded and gestured to Maiev beside him. The two left the command center, and soon the roar of Xianglong sounded in the air.

Ravencase watched them leave. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said to the adjutant beside him:

"Xingyan, arrange a group of city guards to follow His Majesty Shaohao. We can't let others say that we elves don't understand etiquette. Send a moon guard to support them.

Well, let Illidan go.

The boy was fearless and had experience in dealing with demons.

He will grow up in this war, and he will definitely become a good soldier. "
