Chapter 82: The Ranger Lord is not a Chinese cabbage
The land of ghosts, the traces of corrosion.
This was once the battlefield where high elves and Amani trolls fought desperately for the survival environment and space, and it was also the starting point for the undead army of Alsace to completely tear the Quelthalas Forest.
From seeing the land full of death with your own eyes, Gao He clearly felt how powerful and terrifying the power contained in it was. It is hard to imagine that this was actually a power that a former Paladin and a former human prince could control.
"The power of Arthas is not easy to imagine now."
As if he saw what Gao He was thinking, Nasanos just whispered this sentence, and then his eyes looked at the undead base that shouldn't have appeared here at the end of the Corrosion Strike.
"Is it...the undead natural disaster troops? They are still staying here, and..."
Standing on the forest trail at the edge of Corrosion Strikes, Gao He can clearly see that there are constantly reviving skeletons, disaster warriors and spliced hatreds gushing out from it, then waves weapons and kills along Corrosion Strikes towards Silver Moon City.
“This is very interesting…”
Nasanos? The Withered laughed disdainfully.
"Can't we... go inside and take a look?"
“No need for that.”
Nasanos even lacked time to consider Gao He's proposal.
"The only thing we have to do now is to arrive in Silver Moon City and meet directly with Lothema Theron."
"etc……"
Gao He was a little confused about this sudden strange name.
"That Rothema...who is it??"
"It's Lothema Theron."
The wither repeated it patiently.
"He was once an adjutant to Lord Sylvanas, but now he is personally appointed by Prince Kelthas, the Regent of Silvermoon City."
“…wait…”
Gao He had to interrupt Nasanos's words again.
"Isn't the Regent of Silver Moon City called Aqiang? This was Xi? Xi told me in person..."
“…”
For a moment, Gaohe noticed that Nasanos almost fell off his mount.
"Forget it... maybe this is the reason why Her Majesty the Queen did not choose to come in person but sent me."
Nassanos, who comforted himself in this way, emphasized the name to Gao He along the way.
"Lothama Theron, not Aqiang? Theron is not Aqiang, nor Aqiang, it is Luothama... Well, you only need to call him 'you' at that time."
"Okay... OK."
Although I don’t know why, judging from Nassanos’ tone, the Regent... that person seems to care about his name very much.
Gao He, who was thinking about this question in his heart, accidentally glanced at the right side of the path, but saw the quaint stone building contour hidden in it between the lush jungle.
“There is the temple of the ancient Amani trolls.”
Nasanos introduced calmly.
"When the high elves first arrived here, the ancient trolls, who were indigenous people, launched a fierce attack on them... Haha. These arrogant elves almost perished under the attack of trolls that they thought were barbaric races."
"... the covenant with mankind was also concluded at that time?"
"good."
Nasanos nodded, his tone was filled with nostalgia.
"Humans help high elves to jointly resist the invasion of ancient trolls. In return, the elves taught various knowledge to humans who were still in the ignorant stage at that time, including various survival and combat skills, as well as...the knowledge of magic and magic use."
This history, Gao He once read in the universal library that in the ancient times when the Kingdom of Araso was still alive, the mutual assistance covenant between humans and the higher elves continued until the Second War. However, after the battle with the orcs, some of the higher elves unilaterally announced that they would no longer fulfill the ancient covenant on the grounds that "the forest of Quelthalas was severely damaged when resisting the orcs."
Of course, such high elves are only part of them. At least Gao He knew that the three Fengxingzhe sisters were the one who firmly opposed such treason. However, this right to speak was reintroduced in the hands of the Silver Moon Council after the three sisters died or disappeared one after another.
Later, the unfair treatment that Prince Kelthas suffered in the human army finally prompted the vast majority of high elves, which were renamed "Blood Elves" after that, completely cut off relations with the human race, and even developed to the current situation where they were almost enemies of each other.
"The place not far ahead should be Taquelin. Let's go there and make some adjustments."
Nasanos, who did not want too much memories of this history, led Gaohe through the jungle with ease. Soon, the blood elves she mentioned were built on the outpost and transit town of Ghost Land, and soon, they also appeared in front of them.
"here it is……"
"...So even Taquelin has been destroyed."
The two of them quietly rode their mounts and stopped in front of this dilapidated town, saying nothing for a moment.
There is no living person in this dead town. Although most buildings with the unique style of high elves still stand tenaciously in place, the breath of death and declining scenes all prove that this place has been abandoned for many years.
"Is it the undead? Hum..."
At this time, both of them also noticed that it was the undead that had previously surged out of the cemetery at the end of the Corrosion Strike, who now wandered in this dilapidated town. There was no doubt that these undead were the culprits that became so dilapidated here.
"...It seems that we can only pass through here in one breath and take a rest after we arrive at Silver Moon City."
Nasanos did not express any of this, but Gao He could see the loss in her eyes.
"Are you familiar with this place...?"
"……Um."
While killing the unconscious walking zombie approaching the mount, Nasanos gave a nearly inaudible answer.
"…I was here to train as a Ranger and grew up to be an outstanding Ranger..."
In other words, here... it is actually Nasanos, the beginning of the glorious life of the Ranger Lord.
Unfortunately, even the glorious life will eventually end. Just like now, Nasanos is no longer a Ranger Lord but a "Windler" who is scared of everyone. As for the Taquelin in her memory, it has finally become a ruined ruin.
Along the way, there was no conversation between the two. Apart from the breeze in their ears and the sound of horse hooves under their feet, there were only rustling sounds in the jungle.
There were several times. Gao and clearly saw that something flashed through the surrounding forest. In fact, since he really set foot in the heart of the Quel'thalas Forest, such a shadow has been following the two.
Soon, when they entered Yongge Forest, a land of peace and prosperity for thousands of years, a team of blood elves guards had already blocked them.
"Explanation of your purpose, outsider."
Perhaps because he felt Nasanos's power and inviolable will, or perhaps because he had learned of the Forgotten, these blood elves did not attack indiscriminately, but instead interrogated carefully.
After learning about Gao He and Nasanos's purpose, these blood elves quickly gave up a path, and led them to the nearest village with one of the rangers as a guide, which is also the one that resists the traces of corrosion now - the blood elves here are called "Secrets of Death" - the front line of the dead, Qingfeng Village.
Soon, after Gao He and Nasanos briefly enjoyed the fatigue of a long journey, the envoy sent by Silver Moon City had arrived in front of them.
"Haduron...is it you?"
Nasanos looked at the tall and handsome blood elf in front of him with great interest.
"In fact... I really can't be sure who else in Silver Moon City is qualified to receive you..."
The blood elf called Hadurun shrugged helplessly, but his eyes fell on Gao He who was beside her.
"Then...Nasanos, this kid is..."
"Paladin Abu, you can understand him as... a bloody crusader, a silver dawn, and even... a representative of the Human Alliance."
“…”
Perhaps Nasanos' introduction was too sensational. Even this ranger who seemed to have known Nasanos for a long time did indeed stare at Gao He with a surprised look.
"Let me introduce it, Hadurun? Mingyi, High Elf Ranger... No, I think, now... maybe I shouldn't call you that, right?"
Nassanos's words attracted the laughter of Hadurun Mingyi.
"Enough, Nassanos, you know, in front of you, no high elf ranger is qualified to boast—you have done many things that high elf can never do in your lifetime in just ten years."
This sentence once again made Gao He look at Nasanos who was safe around him. In fact, when Gao He learned that his spies actually attacked Nasanos, the leader of the Light Source City Intelligence Organization, Madyas Shore, roared at his subordinates, Gao He still remembered clearly:
"Do you know how many ranger lords have appeared in history? Do you know how many human ranger lords are among them?!"
There is no doubt that Madyas knew very well the value of Nasanos, the former human ranger lord. Unfortunately, she is now a member of the Forgotten One, and in fact, Hadurun Mingyi, who is standing in front of him, also knew this.
So next, Gao He also heard the self-introduction of the blood elf ranger as he wished.
"A guest from the human race, the Ranger Lord Hadurun Mingyi, welcomes you here."
.(To be continued...)
ps:p.s: So here is a long-lost wow tip.
Speaking of Ranger Lords, I found the so-called "Five Lords of Light Rangers" after a little bit... Well, the omnipotent Rangers are always good at using these fish-eye mixed content to deceive the innocent little Peng Yu. In fact, although there are not many Ranger Lords since the historical records of Azeroth, there are still many... they are not that small.
In fact, so far, the characters written in these chapters include Hawksbill, the supporting actor who guards Quellins' cottage - the translation of this guy in the national server is "King of Rangers" - including the three sisters of Windrunner, the Ranger General Hadurun Mingyi, the Regent Aqiang, and the former Nathanos Maris, the "last Ranger Lord" of human beings... Well, please pay attention to this description.
Have you discovered it? There are already 7 people here, you can summon the dragon.
One thing to mention here is that the "Ranker General" that sounds similar to "Ranker Lord" is a completely different concept. The "Ranker General" here refers to the senior general responsible for the defense of the entire Silver Moon City and even the Quelthalas Forest. It is equivalent to the highest military commander of the Blood Elves. The previous positions include Sylvanas, Aqiang, and now Hadurun Mingyi.
