19. The Great Tsunami--For Ouyang Huaiqing Brothers【2/10】
Tanred Proudmoore has been having a very happy time recently.
The bohemian third prince of Kul Tiras is still very young. Compared to his elder brother, His Majesty Drake Proudmoore, who is troubled by the politics of the Human Empire and the unstable domestic situation, and his already married
, and became Jaina Proudmoore, the sister of the Queen of Lordaeron. Tanred was like a true playboy born into a noble family.
He doesn't care about politics or the turbulent undercurrents of the nobles in the country. He doesn't care about the strict family restrictions among the nobles. When he was still underage, he had already wandered around Kultira with the image of a playboy.
Various strange and romantic relationships developed between various nobles in Sri Lanka and with those noble ladies. After reaching adulthood, Tanred's "romantic" reputation spread to his own country, and he was famous throughout the human empire.
famous.
Of course, because Tanred was sealed at the edge of the world for several years by the power of darkness surging under the sea for a period of time in his past life, and in the space at the edge of the world, time does not exist.
It will flow, which makes Tanred, a young man, younger than his actual grade.
Virtue's bad reputation was replaced by that of a "savior."
But the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Tanred's lazy and lustful nature meant that his good reputation did not last long...
Some time ago, the two noble girls of Stromgard were jealous of each other in order to win Tanred's favor, and even got into a fight at a banquet organized by the king.
Under the strict request of Queen Jaina of Danlon, Tanred had to temporarily leave the Human Empire and command the Kul Tiras Armada to patrol the empire's waters.
Fortunately, this bohemian young man did not dislike life on the sea, so in the end no more troubles occurred.
However, while assisting the night elves in the battle of Mount Hyjal against the demons, this amazingly charming sea prince developed a new and interesting love affair on the other side of the world.
His "new" girlfriend is a night elf, to be precise, a noble moon priest...
It’s hard to imagine, right?
A sincere priest who swore to dedicate everything to the moon god Elune would actually pour out his emotions to a young human. This sounds almost impossible in the Kaldorei society with sincere beliefs, but it is
It just happened, and this is not the first time for our Prince Tanred.
His previous list of prostitutes included female priests from the Church of the Holy Light, priestesses from the Cenarion Circle, and a female Draenei Vindicator...
According to the diary of Prince Tanred's good friend, a paladin named Marcus, Marcus praised Prince Tanred as the most feminine human noble he had ever seen, and this man was as beautiful as the sea.
The human prince is equally gentle and bohemian, and his gentle affection for women is enough to capture any innocent girl.
If love is regarded as a never-ending war, then Tanred Proudmoore is definitely the most terrifying war king in this rosy battlefield.
"Well..."
In Auberdine's small villa by the sea, a shirtless Tanred, wearing only a pair of military trousers and carrying half a bottle of rum, walked out of the house and leaned against the railing on the second floor of the wooden house.
His blue, ocean-like eyes stared at the calm sea of mist in front of him. His slightly messy long golden hair was casually draped over his shoulders. On his chest, there was a silver anchor pendant hanging, which was his
His sister Gianna gave it to him on their wedding day.
It is the most important inheritance of the Proudmoore family.
His strong muscles are covered with scars left by the war. For women, this is almost the most amazing medal for a man.
"I've been here too long..."
Tanred took a sip of wine and stared blankly at the turbulent sea in front of him. He had been in Auberdine for almost more than a month, and staying with a woman like this was not Tanred's style.
, but he really did it, this only shows that his new girlfriend is surprisingly attractive to him, not only the raw and innocent, undisguised feelings, but also the amazingly flexible
A different kind of experience brought to him by his body.
Unknowingly, Tanred has even regarded this seaside hut as his "home". After finishing his duties in the fleet every day, no matter how late, he will return here, because he knows that the simplicity is almost stupid.
The elf will wait for him here until she falls asleep.
"Shua"
Behind Tanred, who was looking at the sea, the sea breeze was blowing the white dress of Moon Priest Tiana Xingsong. She walked out of the house barefoot, like a silent assassin, in Tanred.
When Rhett was lost in thought, he quietly approached behind his lover, then stretched out his hands, as if joking, and hugged Tanred tightly from behind.
Xinge buried her face in Tanred's back. At this dusk, the sea breeze blew Xinge's gauze dress constantly swaying. This kind of dress of the Priestess of the Moon looked from a human perspective.
It's very retro, but you have to admit that when this long skirt is blown up, it looks so beautiful.
Even with the most picky aesthetics, Tiana Starsong can be regarded as a real beauty. Her skin is lighter than the purple skin of ordinary night elves, which means that Tiana has a trace of the blood of the high elf.
She has long purple hair, and her forehead is decorated with crescent-shaped gemstones of the Moon Priest, which makes this delicate Moon Priest look mysteriously beautiful.
However, because Tiana has not passed the final trial of the Moon Sacrifice, she does not have green magic patterns painted on her face like her leader Tyrande. This is more suitable for human aesthetics... and from Dark Night
From an elf's point of view, Tiana, who just turned 4,500 years old this year, is just an out-and-out young person. She was born 4,500 years ago and has never experienced the ancient war or the Satyr War. She is just a human being.
A priest apprentice who grew up in a peaceful life.
This makes her seem a little naive, which is why she goes against the teachings of the Church of the Moon and lives with a human... She has not yet understood the night elves' plain and watery view of love, which is like a blank sheet of paper.
On paper, after meeting Tanred, she quickly immersed herself in the fascinating tenderness this human man brought to her.
"What's the matter? Tanred, my son of the sea..."
Tiana pressed her face against Tanred's strong back and whispered:
"I can feel that you are a little confused. Is there anything that is troubling you?"
"No."
Tanred threw the wine bottle in his hand on the wooden table aside. He turned around, leaned on the railing, stretched out his hands, held Tiana Starsong in his arms, and rested his chin on Tiana's hair.
Up, he said softly:
"It's just that...the fleet's anchorage period in the Dark Coast is almost over. I am a soldier, Tiana. Sometimes, I have to obey orders."
"Are you leaving?"
Xinge's heart tightened suddenly at this moment. Tanred could feel the girl's arms holding him harder. He didn't know how to answer Xinge's question, so he could only hold the girl in his arms.
The girl hugged her tightly.
Maybe...maybe I should take her away?
An idea appeared in Tanred's mind. This was an idea that the romantic prince had never thought of before when he wandered among the flowers. But at this moment, once this idea appeared, he could no longer get rid of it.
While Tanred was hesitating, Tiana Xingge was also struggling in her heart, whether to completely break off this forbidden relationship at this moment of separation... The Xinge family is not a small family in the Kaldorei civilization.
Unknown people, as early as the era of Queen Azshara, many big names were born in the Starsong family. As a member of the Starsong family, Tiana does not have much power to decide her own future.
Especially after becoming a trainee priest, faced with the belief in the Moon God, none of her choices allowed her to fly away with Tanred without any worries. Faith... This may only be the case for humans.
It is a spiritual choice, but for the theocratic Kaldorei civilization, this is a very serious matter and cannot be joked about at all.
Maybe, she and Tanred should not be together from the beginning...
Just when Tiana, who was obsessed with the gentle world given by Tanred, was in panic, Tanred let go of his hands and gently stroked his lover's cheek with his fingers. He looked at the beautiful face in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Looking into Tiana Xingge's eyes, he whispered:
"Anna, are you willing to leave here with me? Go and live in Kul Tiras... When my father was still alive, he always said that men from the Proudmoore family were born sailors. Although sailors love the sea,
Sailors must have a harbor, I...I know, I never said such words in the first 21 years of my life, but this time..."
Tanred took a deep breath, knelt on one knee in front of the Moon Priest, held Miss Xingge's finger, and asked seriously:
"will you marry me?"
This sudden proposal made Tiana Xingge feel very confused. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it... Looking at Tanred's gentle eyes that made her enchanted, she was at a loss. She didn't know what to choose.
Faith, you should still follow the urging of your own heart and bravely choose the fleeting love in front of you.
As time passed by second by second, Tanred, who had finally made up his mind to face the silent Xing Ge, began to feel his heart sinking little by little, and the atmosphere between the two became stagnant.
However, just when the spark of this relationship was about to extinguish, a sudden noise caused Tiana and Tanred to turn around at the same time. In their vision of the sea of mist, they were on the sea nearly a kilometer away.
, a huge wolf nearly 20 meters high, like a crazy water curtain rushing forward on the sea, rushed towards Auberdine.
The disaster that will destroy everything...is coming!
————————————————
"Ahhhhh"
When seeing the huge waves approaching, the entire Auberdine Port became panicked. The local elves, human and goblin merchants, as well as some jungle guardians stationed here, as well as the defenders of the Sentinel Legion
They are all trying to save themselves in their own way.
But the tsunami set off by Azshara this time was too terrifying. The most powerful magician in the history of Azeroth used the tidal scepter in his hand to set off a tsunami thousands of meters away at a super speed.
It pounced on the unprepared Auberdine City with destructive force, leaving the residents of the city less than 10 minutes to react before the first wave of tsunami arrived.
With such a small amount of time... apart from giving people in the city enough time to repent of their life's sins, almost nothing can be done...
But there is one force that is an exception!
All the warships of the Third Fleet of Kul Tiras anchored in the anchorage outside Auberdine Dock are made in Kul Tiras itself, and each warship carries the blessing of the Tide Sages.
, this special church that draws power from the sea has the strange power of tides. As long as there are tide sages on the battleship, it can prevent the battleship from being destroyed in a big storm.
Although there are rumors that the Tide Sage's power actually comes from an indescribable thing under the deep sea, no matter where this power comes from, it can indeed help Kul Tiras' fleet avoid such a tsunami that destroys everything.
This is why Kul Tiras' fleet can sail across the sea.
However, even with the troop transports and supply ships, the Third Fleet only has 45 ships, and after the Tide Seer Rebellion in Daelin's era, the current Tide Seers on the fleet are not enough to allocate each ship.
There is one person, that is to say, in such a large tsunami of more than 20 meters, the Third Fleet can hardly protect itself, let alone rescue other people.
"Send the children up! Quick!"
Colonel Taylor temporarily replaced Tanred who had not yet returned to command the entire fleet to leave the Auberdine port as quickly as possible. During the collision of the big tsunami, the warship may not be damaged by the waves, but it will definitely be affected by the destruction of the city.
The destruction of the wreckage after destruction, so the fleet must stay away from the city of Auberdine, which has a high probability of being completely torn apart.
But before leaving, Colonel Taylor also issued another order. Facing the local elves asking for help, the colonel could not save everyone, but he could at least take away most of the children... This is also the rule for all civilizations in Azeroth.
The bottom line is that in the face of any disaster, if possible, no matter what force, we will do our best to protect the underage children.
Even a heinous force like the Dark Blade Legion would not harm unarmed civilians and children on the battlefield...
"Taylor! Open the barrier quickly!!"
Tanred's beast-like roar was faintly heard in the collision of the turbulent waves of ridicule. Colonel Taylor, who was on the deck, suddenly raised his head and saw two trembling elf children holding in his arms, with a girl on his back.
Tanred was rushing towards the warship. Behind him was an elf priest wearing a long skirt who was also holding a child. However, behind the third fleet at this time, there was a giant city wall that weighed hundreds of
Tons of terrifying water wall was slamming into the insignificant city in front of us in an overwhelming manner.
It represents the resentment that has been hidden under the deep sea for thousands of years!
And amid the malice of the cold sea tide, even the dusk sun was completely obscured... For Auberdine, who was right in front of him, the cruelest doomsday... had arrived.
