General Shandris Yuyue has not been in a good mood recently.
This night elf sentry general who is over 10,000 years old has a graceful figure, an almost perfect figure, and a very beautiful face. Especially after wearing armor, he can always attract the attention of the opposite sex. Many of them have status in the night elf society.
Many men have expressed some kind of "goodwill" to her, but the iceberg-like Shandris always dismisses these suitors.
She already had someone in her heart... Unfortunately, that man has disappeared for thousands of years.
Of course, the reason why General Yuyue is in a bad mood recently is not because of personal feelings. As a member of the Sisters of Elune, and a high-ranking officer who has experienced the War of the Ancients, the War of Satyr and the War of Quicksand,
, she does not put personal feelings before official matters.
In other words, the general's bad mood was because of the high-level affairs of the Kaldorei... to be precise, it was related to certain decisions of her adoptive mother and adoptive father.
"I also know that the threat represented by demons is stronger, but...how can I completely ignore the threat of Silithus..."
General Feathermoon was riding on her black Frostsaber. She looked back to the north from time to time, which was the direction of Ashenvale, where the elite troops of the Sentinel Legion and the druids were trying to encircle and suppress the evil forces entrenched in Felwood.
demon.
It is too close to the holy mountain Hyjal, and too close to Nordrassil, the world tree that the night elves rely on for survival. The general can understand the inner persistence of his adoptive father and mother, but if the price of protecting the holy mountain is to completely abandon the southern border of the continent,
, Yuyue disagreed.
After all, she has been here for nearly 10,000 years, and she has her own feelings for this land, and she knows better how much damage it will cause to the entire Kalimdor once the bug-men in Silithus break through.
Influence.
"At that time, even if you defeated the devil and went back to clean up the mess... I don't know how long it will take. Mother, do you really not see this threat? Or... you do.
, is it just that you don’t want to pay attention to it?”
Shandis was thinking about this problem in her heart. She occasionally raised her head and could clearly see the human army marching forward in the desert. There were many of them, including cavalry and a large number of infantry. This should not be the first
A group of warriors went to Cenarion Keep to participate in the Battle of Quicksand.
What makes Shandris most curious is what kind of magic power those steel weapons carried by humans have.
She heard that not long ago, the soldiers on the anti-bug front used this weapon to defeat the bugs in Tanaris.
As a true battlefield general, Shandis is very aware of the changes that weapon innovation will bring to war. Therefore, under the cold appearance, General Yuyue also wants to figure out this new weapon originating from the Human Empire.
, on what principle does it operate?
"Speed up and move forward!"
Thinking of this, Shandris, who was wearing a black battle helmet, pulled up the reins of the frostsaber, turned to the huntress captain next to her and said:
"We must get to Cenarion Fortress before sunset! Let the sisters hold on a little longer!"
"Yes! General!"
————————————————————————
Before the War of the Ancients, the army of the Elf Empire did not value talent, but distinguished its officers based on blood. This led to the fact that in the early days of the War of the Ancients, when facing the demon army, the standing army of the elves almost collapsed at the first touch, except for the powerful Ravencair.
Except for the Black Crow Castle Legion commanded by Lord Si, there are basically no other noble legions that are very capable of fighting.
After the War of the Ancients, Tyrande, as the leader of the religion, decisively changed this decadent military system. She single-handedly created the Sentinel Legion and attracted a large number of elven women to join the battle. Of course, in the recent period, there were also male Sentinels.
Although they appear in the legion, women still make up the majority of the sentry troops.
The senior leaders of the Sentinel Force are basically members of the mysterious organization known as the Sisterhood of Elune. This organization has appeared as early as the heyday of the Elven Empire. They adhere to a strange concept: that only women can be better.
Understanding the will of the moon god, therefore, there is no male in the Sisterhood of Elune. After the leader of the sisterhood, Tyrande Whisperwind, became the religious leader of the night elves, this directly led to the fact that the upper echelons of Kaldorei were basically all women.
.
In other words, this civilization can be regarded as a civilization in which yin rises and yang wanes, but that is not always the case. After women hold up half of the sky, men often join the Druid sect to seek the principles of nature, or become lone rangers.
..The night elf rangers are also famous among the elves, at least as good as the high elf rangers.
But the Sisters of Elune, a relatively liberal organization, has another stubborn idea:
Due to the chaotic nature of arcane magic, the Sisters of Elune do not approve of the way the high night elves use arcane magic. They hate all abuse of magic, and the once-existing Well of Eternity is especially considered a potential source of danger.
In fact, long before the Upper Elves abused magic and brought about the disaster of the War of the Ancients, whether the Well of Eternity should be used had already become a widely discussed topic in the classes of the Sisterhood of Elune... and Shandris Feather
Yue is a high-ranking member of the Sisterhood of Elune. She is influenced by her adoptive mother Tyrande, and she agrees with this concept from the bottom of her heart.
This is why Staghelm and Marlys have to complete an inventory of the interior of the fortress before Shandis arrives. Once Shandis knows that there are sentries in the fortress who have joined the cult and abused corrupted magic, then in this case
Many people will definitely be implicated in the indifferent sanctions of a sufficiently iron-blooded general. The attitude of the Luna Priests towards betrayers will not be better than that of the Paladins of the Holy Light Church.
"Master Staghelm..."
The dusty Shandris Feather Moon jumped down from her Frostsaber, walked up to Staghelm with a soldier-like pace, and nodded slightly in salute to him. Shandris also heard about Staghelm's rebellion.
Cenarion Circle matters, and his actions to resurrect the Wild Demigod, but because she is not a druid, she is not willing to participate in the internal affairs of the druid. Therefore, her attitude towards Staghelm is not too
Big changes.
Regardless of whether Staghelm is a member of the Cenarion Circle or not, he is a respectable warrior and defender. Shandris knows this very well, because she and Staghelm are from the same era.
"Please follow me, General Shandis. The journey will be difficult, and the commanders are already waiting for you."
Staghelm said something gentle to the general in front of him, then turned around to lead the way, but was stopped by Shandis:
"No, wait a minute, Master, before I meet with the commanders of various tribes, I have something that I want to discuss with you in private."
"Um?"
Staghelm looked back at Shandris. After noticing Shandris' unhappy look, he seemed to understand something. He nodded, and the two commanders walked into the fortress surrounded by the sentries.
Side hall.
"I bring my adoptive father's apology..."
In the side hall, Shandris sat on a chair and said to Staghelm sitting opposite:
"Malfurion said that he misunderstood you and ignored your feelings, especially when it came to resurrecting Agamaggan, the demigod of the wilderness. You did something that the night elves had not been able to make up their mind to do for ten thousand years. In fact,
He admires your courage, and he hopes that there can be peaceful contact and coexistence between the Cenarion Circle and the Blighters... He invites you to go to Mount Hyjal and other Boulder kingdoms after the war.
Druids."
These words did not change Staghelit's expression. The great druid still had the gentle look before. After Shandis finished speaking, Staghelit picked up the cup filled with tea and drank the tea.
Afterwards, he said softly:
"Malfurion is my mentor... I should respect him, but, with all due respect, the teachings of the Cenarion Circle and the Blight Ones are in conflict with each other, and coupled with the expectations of the wild demigods for resurrection, the two
It is basically impossible for people to coexist peacefully."
"You should be able to understand what I mean, Shandris. If the Cenarion Circle still cannot make a choice, then we can only bear the responsibility of resurrecting the Wild Demigod. We have this ability, and the Wild Demigod falls into the
I believe you will not be unclear about what the wither's belief system means..."
Deer Helmet closed his eyes and said:
"The Cenarion Circle will inevitably split... This is a future that any intelligent person can see. I am very curious about how Malfurion will change this future, and whether Tyrande will be willing to do it for
Is the husband’s career supported by the decline of his clan?”
"Haha, I'm very curious."
These words made Shandris' eyes darken, but she did not blame Staghelm like those lower-level druids did, because she knew very well that Staghelm was doing the right thing. Since it was the right thing, then
Why are you being blamed and blamed?
"Okay, I will bring your words to Malfurion. There is one more thing. When I left, my mother, Ms. Tyrande, asked me to convey her opinions to you about the Battle of Quicksand. She believed that
Without the participation of the night elves, the chance of winning the Battle of Quicksand is very small. She promised to send to Silithus immediately after the war in Ashenvale slowed down for a while..."
"Alright, Shandris!"
Before General Yu Yue finished speaking, he was interrupted by Deer Helmet. The Archdruid looked at the general in front of him seriously and said:
"Don't fool me with such words, Shandris, you are not a person who plays political tricks at all. Even I can see the frustration in your eyes. Don't try to hide Tyrande's true thoughts from me. You and I both know
, what is her idea..."
"Maybe she saw this future when she leased the central part of the continent to the restoration of the human empire. Tyrande's calculation was so good. If the bugs want to attack the Kaldorei group, they must first cross the goblins.
, the border between humans and orcs, whether they want it or not, they must stand in front of the bugs advancing northward!"
Staghelm showed a mocking smile, which made Shandris feel a little uneasy:
"Until the blood of humans, orcs, and other civilizations is cleansed, the bugs can't harm the night elves, but the night elves can use the demon invasion as a perfect reason not to go to war, and wait until both the anti-bug front and the bugs are defeated.
At that time, the night elves once again appeared as the savior, sweeping through the weakened Qiraji with an intact army, saving the entire Kalimdor."
"In the victory of Kaldorei, the faith of the Moon God will also spread to the hearts of other civilizations... Look, Shandris, I understand her tricks very well. Religious leaders all do this. Humans
This is how she spread the teachings of the Holy Light to the centaurs. I understand Tyrande's plan very well... You don't have to cover anything for her."
Lu Helmet put down the tea cup and coughed:
"She wants to protect her people. This is a decision that a qualified leader should make. I can understand it, but what I am curious about is that if the Kaldorei treat other civilizations on the same continent like this, then one day, when the Kaldorei
When we need help, what can we do to ask other civilizations to lend a hand? You have stayed in Mount Hyjal for too long, and you have been unable to see the changes in this world. It has become more dangerous than it was ten thousand years ago.
..”
"This is no longer the era 10,000 years ago. No matter how powerful the night elves are, they can't repel those endless invaders by one person... Maybe this is a bit presumptuous, but I still want to say... The thinking is still stuck
Tyrande thousands of years ago didn't know how to lead our people at all. She thought the leaders of other civilizations were stupid fools. However, other people were very smart, at least smarter than Tyrande imagined."
"No! Staghelm!"
Shandris couldn't listen anymore. She stood up and said loudly:
"Our army is indeed trapped in a confrontation with demons. I just came back from Ashenvale, and I can see it clearly!"
"It's you who should shut up, Shandris!"
Staghelit's tone became even colder:
"You are the Sentinel General. You have experienced all the big wars. Tell me honestly. From your perspective, with the strength of the two Sentinels in the north and the south and the entire Cenarion Circle, it has been almost a year, but
I can't even kill a group of entrenched demons. Is this normal? Do you really think I'm blind?"
"So tell me now, Shandris, why are you here?"
There was a hint of impatience in Staghelm's voice, and Shandris knew that it was time for a showdown.
General Yuyue sighed. She stood up, adjusted her armor, and looked at Deer Helmet:
"Yes, what you said makes sense, Staghelit, what I want to say is that I agree with most of your ideas, which is why I insisted on rushing here with the soldiers who stayed at Feather Moon Fortress...
"
"I, Shandris Feather Moon, on behalf of the Kaldorei civilization, I apply to join the Kalimdor Anti-Insect Front!"
Shandris' request made Staghelm narrow his eyes. After a moment, the archdruid asked:
"Are you sure you can represent the Kaldorei? Are you sure you can represent your foster mother?"
"If she's not enough, Staghelm... what about me?"
Another hoarse voice sounded behind Staghelit. The Archdruid turned around and looked at the slender figure walking out of the shadows. There was a smile on his lips:
"Welcome, Ms. Maiev."
"Of course...of course you two can represent the Kaldorei...you are welcome to join this war!"
