Chapter 1005 The strange lord and the strange subjects
Even though Onyxia spends all day huddled in her territory and having fun, seemingly not caring about business, it is only when she is really needed that she discovers that Onyxia has excellent abilities in all aspects.
Needless to say, in terms of military force, excluding the older generation like Inas, Onyxia is the only demigod-level combatant in Sarlayan's small circle.
Taking into account the growth of Sarlayan and others, Onyxia will not take action in most cases, and will only act as a final insurance to hold the line from behind, just in case.
In terms of political capabilities, after Onyxia in the original history split Varian into two people and sent them away, she controlled the regency with Duke Bolvar Fordragon for a long time, assisting Shang.
The young Anduin Wrynn ruled.
As we all know, Bolvar is the commander of the most elite seventh legion in the Kingdom of Stormwind. He is essentially a general-type noble. Although he is helpless in government affairs, he is definitely not a talent.
It was under Onyxia's care that the Kingdom of Stormwind remained seemingly stable for many years after Varian's disappearance, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Stormwind who had been ready to move before were manipulated by her smooth hands.
between.
In terms of strategy, Onyxia also has outstanding abilities.
In some areas involving conspiracy, even Sarlayan, who has been enlightened by barrages for a long time, feels inferior.
In this timeline where Sharlayan is located, perhaps it is because there is no performance and survival pressure from Deathwing. Although Onyxia's abilities are still there, her behavior clearly shows a "fake" attitude.
mean.
Under normal circumstances, Onyxia does not show any sharpness and looks like a typical descendant of a noble who only eats, drinks and has fun.
But she didn't do anything like some dandy nobles who bullied men and dominated women.
In Onyxia's own words, she got tired of playing this boring and outdated game thousands of years ago.
Many people in the territory knew this dark-haired beauty who often appeared in various entertainment venues and obviously had an unusual relationship with the lord. Most of the people in the territory thought that she was just a vase who served others with her beauty.
It doesn't hurt.
Many people in the Duchy of Deep Shadow privately believe that their lord is too self-disciplined and does not enjoy it at all like the nobles they have heard of.
In their understanding, the lord is either out there working for the benefit of Quel'Thalas, or he is working hard in his office, working hard to further develop the territory.
It is said that many residents of Unicorn City are worried about Sarlayan's physical and mental health. His lifestyle is obviously not in line with the common perception of immortal species such as high elves.
Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Sarlayan had a "suspected" lover like Onyxia.
In the aristocratic feudal era, what the people of a place feared most was not the king who was high in the sky and the emperor was far away, but the local lord who was right in front of them.
There are many elderly high elves who have never seen such a good lord as the Duke of Deep Shadow in more than 2,000 years.
In this era, ordinary people's demands were very simple, which was nothing more than food and clothing.
High elves with better living conditions may have more requirements, such as having some spare money and being able to have some fun after their busy work.
Most of their wishes are fulfilled in Unicorn City.
Thanks to the many monopoly businesses that continue to operate, the Duchy of Deep Shadow has not been short of money since a long time ago, and the annual taxes that the people need to pay are obviously much lower than other aristocratic territories.
Living in the prosperous Duchy of Deep Shadow, the local residents never have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Their income not only meets their daily needs, but also leaves a lot for spending on entertainment projects.
This is why Unicorn City has specially built an entertainment street that is open all night, because the people have the spare money and also have this demand. As a lord, Sarlayan naturally has to satisfy the spiritual needs of his people in addition to material pursuits.
.
It is rare to meet such a good lord, and the citizens of the Duchy of Deep Shadow wish Sarlayan long life.
Yes, long live, the blessing that humans often say "long life" is actually a curse to the high elves.
Sarlayan, who has a strong sense of responsibility, will care about the daily life and spiritual needs of his subjects, and the subjects who reciprocate his kindness will naturally worry about his physical and mental health.
Knowing that Sarlayan has never been married and only has a few ambiguous confidantes around him, the residents of Unicorn City once secretly held a "draft"-like event, hoping to recommend as many outstanding beauties as possible in the territory to Sarlayan.
Next to Leian.
This ridiculous folk activity even alarmed Kael'thas, who even specially called Sharlayan to the Sunstrider Court to make fun of him.
Although it seemed like a joke on the surface, Kael'thas was actually a little worried about Sharlayan's love life. He revealed that he wanted to introduce his distant cousin to Sharlayan, and hinted that he should not be too busy with work.
Busy and exhausted.
Sharlayan knew who the distant cousin Kael'thas mentioned was a member of the royal branch named Lianda Sunstrider.
According to the barrage, Lianda was somewhat ambitious and talented. In the original history, she once obtained the Sun Chaser's artifact, the Flame Strike, but the price was her life and her soul.
In the end, Leanda, who had long lost her soul and turned into an empty shell, was killed by the footman who was searching for artifacts to fight against the Burning Legion. The Strike of Flame was also regarded as a return to Quel'Thalas by Aethas Sunreaver, the second fifth son of Quel'Thalas.
Dalaran's Certificate of Vocation.
Leaving aside Lianda's character issues, Sarlayan had no interest in this kind of arranged marriage where neither party knew each other, and rejected Kael'thas' proposal on the spot.
Afterwards, he returned to the territory with a helpless look and told all the people in the territory that they would not have to worry about their emotional problems.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to appease the worries of the people in the territory, not long after Sarlayan and his party left the territory, Inas made no secret that the Lord already had four partners.
The news was informed to all the people in the territory, and there was a huge cheer.
This strange phenomenon in which the people of the territory did not worry about the lord recruiting beautiful women from everywhere, but instead worried about the lord's emotional problems, made foreign merchants and travelers marvel at it.
The Onyxia in the eyes of the people is not what she really is, at least not entirely.
It is true that, once she untied the shackles of Deathwing around her neck, Onyxia did let herself go a little bit and became much more lazy than before.
But when Sharlayan really needs her, the Black Dragon Princess will step forward and take responsibility without hesitation.
Sharlayan and Valeera need to sneak into the Razorfen to find Agamaggan's soul. Among the four people left outside, Stellagosa and Tinargosa are not good at planning. Jaina is essentially a scholar.
He is not the kind of person who is good at scheming.
In this case, only Onyxia can stand up.
Outsiders don't know Onyxia's abilities, but Sharlayan knows them all.
By leaving Onyxia in charge of the outside world, Sharlayan can safely sneak into Razorfen to complete his mission.
Seeing the silhouettes of Sarlayan and Valeela quickly fade and disappear, Onyxia looked at the densely packed wild boars in the distance and touched her chin thoughtfully.
"The Wild Boars...compared to the War of the Ancients, these guys don't seem to have made much progress. Instead, they have become lazier and weaker than before?"
…
The wild boars also participated in the ancient wars following the demigod Agamaggan they believed in. With their strong fertility, they shouldered heavy responsibilities on the front line and sacrificed many people.
Of course, this is mainly because the wild boars are relatively weak individually, and their advantage is their overwhelming numbers.
As far as Onyxia knows, wild boars give birth to an average of three litters a year, and each litter gives birth to about ten piglets.
Although due to insufficient resources, only 23 out of 10 piglets survive, the fertility rate is already astonishing.
This is why Sarlayan doesn't want to force his way in.
Yes, but it's not necessary. It's a waste of time, and he doesn't want to cause such a big killing.
Ordinary quilboar men were apparently unaware of Calgar Thornrib's treacherous behavior.
As long as this culprit and her followers can be dealt with, and Agamaggan can personally guide her again, maybe a large number of quilboars can be sent to serve as artillery when fighting the Burning Legion in the future... Vanguard, consumption of the Burning Legion
of military strength.
While Onyxia was outside trying to attract the quilboar's attention, Sharlayan and Valeera had quietly sneaked into Razorfen.
According to Sarlayan's observation, the so-called Razorfen is actually the body of Agamaggan after his death, and the entrance is a huge open pig's mouth.
[What kind of weird and shameless operation is it to use the corpse of the demigod you believe in as your home? 】
