Chapter 1099 Alleria: Who is not a genius anymore?
When Alleria began to work in Quel'Thalas, it happened to be the period when the power of the Silver Moon Council was at its peak.
The old king Anasteria was forced to hide his power and bide his time. After sending Prince Kael'thas away, he slowly began to deal with the great nobles.
The Windrunner family is a die-hard royal party that has been loyal to the royal family since the founding of Quel'Thalas.
Their ancestor, Taranas Windrunner, was awarded the title of Duke for his achievements in exorcising the forest trolls, and was also awarded by the Sun King at that time to Thasdorah, the artifact longbow that had been soaked in the Sunwell.
Note that this is only a duke, not a hereditary and irreplaceable grand duke.
However, this seems to make no difference to the descendants of the Windrunner family. Generations of Windrunner heirs have been able to inherit the title without being demoted due to their merits in guarding the border of Quel'Thalas.
This magical tradition continued until Lelessa's generation, and the Windrunner family finally gave birth to a "weird" whose behavior was incompatible with the ancestors.
That is Lelessa's eldest daughter - Alleria Windrunner.
At that time, the Sunstrider royal family was engaged in a fierce power struggle with the Silver Moon Council, which was dominated by the great nobles.
After finally catching the Windrunner family, the hardcore royal family, the then Speaker Darkan Drasil naturally used Alleria's maverick behavior as a breakthrough point to launch a fierce attack.
However this is of no use.
The Windrunner family has never been interested in the political struggles in Silvermoon City. As long as the Sun King continues to trust them, the Windrunner family's status will never be shaken.
Anastria understood very clearly that if the Windrunner family was captured, who would guard the borders of Quel'Thalas and resist the ferocious trolls who had a deep hatred for the high elves?
As long as the Windrunner family does not offend against national interests, a minor issue like the occasional rebellious descendant is not worth making a big fuss about.
Although the Silver Moon Council failed to have any effect on the Windrunner family's impeachment, Alleria, who held a grudge, wrote down the name of Dar'Khan Drasil who proposed the motion.
Alleria, who was fearless, made a special trip to Silvermoon City, and faced the ridicule of a large number of city nobles for being "weak-legged", and gave Darkan a brutal treatment in front of him at a noble banquet.
Darkan didn't think that Alleria would dare to do anything to him, the powerful Speaker of Silver Moon.
However, Alleria, who was still very young at the time, followed the rules of the nobility and without hesitation threw a white glove on Darkan's face in public.
[Holy shit? If I guessed correctly, Alleria had a one-on-one duel with Darkan? 】
[Ah... how old was Alleria back then? Can she beat that old fox? 】
[Let’s laugh at it. Darkan is an old man who can sit in the position of Speaker of the Silver Moon Parliament after all. He is also a great mage at the end of the day, right? 】
Faced with the question raised by the barrage through Sarlayan's mouth, Alleria shrugged indifferently: "Archmage? So what? Who is not a genius anymore."
Sylvanas pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Alleria is the youngest legendary ranger in the history of the Windrunner family. She was only 25 years old when she broke through and entered the legendary realm."
For kings of Quel'Thalas like Sharlayan and Valeera, a 25-year-old legend may not sound surprising.
But at that time, hedonism was prevalent in Quel'Thalas under the connivance of the Silvermoon Council. Why stand up and work hard when you can just lie down and enjoy?
In Quel'Thalas at that time, those who could enter the legend before they were a hundred years old were the geniuses among geniuses, and Alleria's achievements were unprecedented.
When she challenged Dar'Kan, Alleria had just passed a hundred years of her life.
All joking aside, apart from her lack of combat experience, Alleria's strength is not much worse than that of her mother Lelessa.
If coupled with the power of the artifact longbow Sasdora, Liresa can't say that she can definitely defeat her.
Liresa is a practical warrior who fought on the battlefield, while Darkan is just an academic archmage who sits in the council hall and gives orders all day long.
There is no need to think carefully about who will have stronger actual combat ability.
The final result of this duel was just as Danmaku, Sarlayan and others expected.
The junior threw the gloves on his face. Darkan, who had never suffered such humiliation before, angrily accepted Alleria's challenge on the spot, determined to show off this flamboyant junior.
Then... he was beaten without any temper.
Afterwards, Alleria left with satisfaction, but Darkan was ridiculed and shunned for hundreds of years by his fellow council members who had long coveted his position because of this humiliating defeat.
For a long time after that, the Silver Moon Council was busy seizing power internally, and Anasteria, who was forced to breathe by the great nobles, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Valeela asked with a strange expression: "Sister Alleria, are you..."
Alleria shrugged unabashedly: "Yes, I did it on purpose. You don't really think I was just impulsive, do you?"
"Before provoking that duel, I asked His Majesty the Sun King for instructions in advance, and only took action after getting his support."
"Ha~" Sarlayan shook his head and said with emotion: "Sure enough, ginger is still old and hot. This slap in the face at least bought the Sun Chaser royal family a hundred years of breathing time."
As a party to the slap in the face incident, Darkan, who originally wanted to pursue the victory and continue to squeeze on the royal family, regrettably fell short and hated the Windrunner family represented by Alleria.
However, as a military boss guarding the border, the Windrunner family is not afraid of the Silver Moon Council, which can only play tricks around Silvermoon City.
In order to prevent the Windrunner family from letting the trolls drive in in anger, the Silver Moon Council did not dare to offend them too severely.
But the gap was thus forged.
After that, Darkan often played tricks on the logistics supplies delivered to the ranger troops. With the support of the Sun King, the experienced Lelessa tried to make ends meet, and no one could do anything about it.
Before Alleria entered the Dark Portal with the expeditionary force, although the Silver Moon Council had lost power due to its collaboration and treason during the orc invasion, Dar'Khan, a smooth old man, was still alive.
Returning to Quel'Thalas after many years, Alleria was surprised to learn that Dar'Kan had suddenly become the prime minister of the cabinet after she left, and that he had been violated by Sarlayan's mother not long ago.
Killed in public.
Because there are so many secrets involved in Darkan's death, there are many unclear things in the investigation report released by the royal family.
While serving as a senior officer in the expeditionary force in Delano, Alleria was also responsible for a lot of clerical work and accumulated a lot of experience. She saw a lot of tricks in this report.
It was definitely inappropriate to ask the Sun King directly. Alleria planned to ask Sarlayan, the immediate family member of the person involved. She did not think that Inas's behavior was really just a coincidence and a willful act.
Regarding the whole story, Sharlayan learned about it in detail from his mother after returning to Quel'Thalas.
Knocking out Darkan was not a sudden decision. The Sun King and the Deep Shadow Family had already planned to put the blame for smuggling Sunwell water on Darkan.
This required that Darkan must be in a speechless state at that time.
It was expected to discover the connection between Darkan and the Nightmare King, but Sarlayan did not dare to be 100% sure about this, and could only say that it was a high probability event.
In any case, Kael'thas had already made preparations to nail Darkan's coffin.
Whether he colludes with the Scourge or the Nightmare King, it is enough to convict him of treason and seeking glory, and there is very "sufficient" evidence.
The only difference is that one is solid evidence, and the other is false evidence made with the cooperation of Kel'Thuzad.
"ha!"
After learning the ins and outs behind this incident from Sarlayan, Alleria laughed to herself.
"In terms of evil people, you politicians are still good at playing tricks. Fortunately, I am on your side."
Sarlayan smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "First of all, let me state that I am not a politician. I am only a participant in this plan."
Alleria rolled her eyes angrily: "You little fox, how dare you say that Inas would suddenly kill Darkan if you weren't the one behind it?"
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sister Alleria, you really have wronged me."
"I just pieced together the clues I tracked down not long ago that Darkan may have colluded with the Nightmare King. It was my mother who decided to break the rules and attack him. I didn't know she would be so tough."
"My original plan was to work with Kel'Thuzad to put a blame on Dar'Kan. First, capture him and imprison him, and then take care of him slowly. Who knew that my mother would directly kill him."
Alleria smiled and ruffled Sarlayan's hair: "Now that the matter is over, there is no point in discussing a dead person anymore. Let's end this matter here, but..."
Alleria asked with some worry: "Are you really sure that... Kel'Thuzad will not betray you?"
Sarlayan spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure. Kel'Thuzad is a complete rationalist. He only cares about who offers the higher bargaining chip. He doesn't have much loyalty at all."
"But I have been working happily with Kel'Thuzad over the years, and I hold the information he needs most and the key to the Shadowlands."
"Unless absolutely necessary, there is really no need for Kel'Thuzad to fall out with me."
"It is true that Kel'Thuzad can also get in touch with the Shadow Realm through other channels, but compared to the price I gave, the sincerity of that side is not so high. After all..."
Sarlayan smiled meaningfully: "No one wants to be a puppet in the hands of others, especially someone like Kel'Thuzad who pursues truth wholeheartedly. Free will is particularly important to him."
"The Shadow Realm..."
Alleria thoughtfully tapped the table in front of her with her fingers: "Azeroth is really in trouble. The Burning Legion and the Ancient Gods are already a headache, and now they appear again.
A shadow realm on the side of death."
Sarlayan smiled and comforted: "It's not that the entire Shadow Realm is coveting Azeroth. We also have like-minded allies there."
"Now is not the best time to concentrate on solving the crisis in the Shadow Realm. Let's focus on the present first."
"really."
Alleria looked out the window at the endless sea level with a solemn expression: "The top priority right now is to deal with the invasion of the Burning Legion first. By the way...are you really sure that you can kill Archimonde?"
