Chapter 1160 The Duke of Deep Shadow is back! It will be dawn!
Thinking from Tinagosa's point of view, between her sister who always imposes strict discipline and Sharlayan who dotes on her every day, she doesn't need to think too much and just instinctively knows who to get closer to.
Stellagosa actually knew this very well, but she had just experienced a tough battle and reunited with her sister after a long separation. Originally, she was looking forward to getting a hug, even if it was just a comforting hug. Who knew...
Sarlayan, who felt the chill from his back, hurriedly winked at little Tina in his arms.
The ghostly Tinagosa understood immediately, turned around and threw herself into the arms of the dark-faced Stellagosa, coquettishly, and finally calmed down Little Xingxing before her anger exploded.
Onyxia curled her lips in disappointment: "Tsk~ It's boring."
Sarlayan turned around angrily and flicked her forehead with his finger: "If the world is not in chaos, can't you hope for something better?"
Before Sarlayan could even enter his home, the residents of Unicorn City discovered that their lord had returned home quietly at some point.
As the supreme commander, Duke Deep Shadow led the alliance to reinforce the expedition across the sea. The news had already spread throughout the Eastern Kingdom. Seeing the relaxed expressions of the returning lords and their families, people with a little more intelligence could guess the war in the distant continent of Kalimdor.
ending.
"Congratulations, Lord, on your triumphant return!
"
At first, only a small group of people took the lead in cheering, and the noise they made quickly attracted the residents of Unicorn City who were still unaware of the reason.
Since the Alliance army on the expedition to Kalimdor had not yet arrived, Sarlayan did not want to inform ordinary people of the victory in the war in advance, so as not to give people the impression of overstuffing the guests and grabbing the credit.
However, the plan could not keep up with the change. The voice of Little Tina when she rushed over was too loud, which attracted the attention of the people working near the Lord's Mansion.
In order to avoid causing a bigger sensation, Sarlayan simply waved to the citizens who spontaneously started cheering, and led his family into the lord's mansion at a faster pace.
Sarlayan's mother Yinasi was not as unruly as Tina Gosa, so she waited in the hall obediently.
Hearing the cheers coming from outside the door, Yin Nasi could roughly guess what happened.
"Kids, thank you for your hard work."
Yinasi walked forward with a smile on her face and gave Sarlayan and others warm hugs one by one.
Sarlayan turned his head and looked around in confusion: "Mom, where is my dad?"
"He..."
Yin Nas curled her lips and complained: "I was worried that the Ancient God faction would take advantage of the invasion of the Burning Legion to cause trouble secretly, so I volunteered to go to the beach to communicate with Azshara's Naga."
"Don't worry about him yet, he will come back by himself in the evening."
Yin Nasi and Julian once settled in the underwater city of Nazjatar for several years. During that time, they met many friends from the Naga tribe. This personal relationship was not severed when their identities were later exposed.
Julian's worries were not groundless.
During the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, the Ancient Gods had done this kind of trick. They took advantage of the invasion of the Burning Legion to secretly corrupt the Black Dragon King Neltharion, and started a dragon civil strife that shocked the world.
Fortunately, Sharlayan had just severely damaged the Corrupted Naga under Enzos in the Battle of Estorante not long ago.
Until Deathwing recovers from his injury, Thousand Bearded Demons, who are short of cards, can only keep their tail between their legs for the time being.
Not to mention Yogg-Saron, that guy is still busy escaping from prison in Ulduar, and his tentacles can't even reach out of the Storm Peaks.
Under the strict supervision of the orthodox Nagas of the Azshara faction, Enzos did not dare to jump out and cause trouble at this time.
"Not surprisingly."
After listening to Yinasi's description, Sharlayan calmly analyzed: "Although the Burning Legion and the Ancient Gods also covet Azeroth, the two forces themselves are also enemies of each other."
"En'Zoth is also worried that if it moves too much, it will attract the attention of the Burning Legion. Anyway, it is unable to cause trouble for the time being, so it is better to just admit it and pretend that it didn't see it."
The original intention of Sargeras in founding the Burning Legion was to destroy the Lord of the Void. In Sharlayan's view, the Burning Legion's hatred of the Void was far higher than that of Azeroth.
Ten thousand years ago, the ancient god relied on years of hard work to steal a chicken, which caused internal fighting among the dragon clan and then helped the Burning Legion in disguise.
At that time, the Burning Legion focused its main energy on how to conquer Azeroth. As for the Ancient Gods... after taking Azeroth, there was plenty of time to slowly concoct them.
Deathwing, regarded as the chief warrior by the Old God faction, was a terrifying enemy that was difficult to defeat for mortals, but to the Burning Legion, which had many elite soldiers at the time, it was nothing more than that.
Even without Sargeras personally taking action, any Deceiver or Defiler can suppress Deathwing without any suspense.
Xavius, the King of Dream Demons? This three-surnamed house slave was still a loyal lackey of the Burning Legion at that time.
…
News of Sarlayan's victorious return quickly spread from Unicorn City to the surrounding areas, and soon the whole of Quel'Thalas began to frantically discuss the specifics of the Battle of Seamount... Of course, since the detailed battle report has not been leaked, the enthusiasm among the people
Much of the discussion consists of baseless personal speculation.
As the news spread, Julian, who was communicating with Naga outside Yangfan Port, also learned the news of his son's return.
Just as Yin Nas said, Julian hurried back before the dinner started, and the family exchanged the information they had obtained during this period in the lord's living room.
Julian has nothing worth saying. Enzos has been very honest recently and shows no sign of jumping out to cause trouble.
Yinas explained in detail the causes and consequences of Tichondrius's infiltration into Stratholme and his death. Some of the details made Sarlayan, Valeera and others dumbfounded.
Not long after, Verlais, who had received the charter from Kael'thas, also arrived with his wife and children.
While the Deep Shadow family was enjoying a warm family banquet in the Lord's Mansion in Unicorn City, the news of the victory in the Battle of Seamount was brought out of the Thralas Gate by business travelers from various countries traveling to and from Quel'Thalas, and quickly spread throughout the entire world.
Eastern Kingdom.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is an old saying in another world, it is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river.
The speed with which this kind of good news spread spontaneously among the people surprised even Kael'thas.
After an urgent remote communication through arcane communication, the leaders of the alliance countries unanimously decided to officially inform the people of the victory of annihilating the Burning Legion.
As official news spread, the cloud of uneasiness that had hung over the Eastern Kingdom for months dissipated.
Whether it was Lordaeron as the host country of the alliance, the Kingdom of Stormwind in the far south of the continent, or the Darkspear trolls in the jungle of Stranglethorn Vale, all without exception began to celebrate with singing and dancing.
…
"Is that really the case?"
After listening to Uncle Wilraith's talk about Lordaeron's military progress in recent times, Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully.
Under the initiative of Kel'Thuzad and Baron Rivendell to give in, Lordaeron, which kept its main force at home, was advancing on the battlefield.
Except for the Stratholme region, which abandoned East Tirisfal, retreated in advance and built various fortifications to take a firm stand, most of East Weld, which was once captured by the Scourge, has been recovered.
The main force of the Knights of the Silver Hand is stationed in the long-deserted Darrow County, and has made many attempts to attack Stratholme through the Thoril Trail.
Unfortunately, under the command of the calm Baron Rivendell, the Knights of the Silver Hand's offensive has never made substantial progress.
Not long ago, the spirit of Ner'zhul, the first generation Lich King who was ambitious but lacking in talent and ambition, died. Thoras ascended the Frozen Throne to replace him.
Under the instruction of the second-generation Lich King Solas, Baron Rivendell formally submitted an armistice agreement to Lordaeron in the name of the new Scourge.
Because Dalaran, who knew the inside story, was on his way back to the Eastern Kingdom from Northrend, when he received the peace document from the Scourge, all ministers at all levels in Lordaeron except Queen Calia, who had expected it.
Confused.
"Speaking of which..."
Yin Nasi stared at Sarlayan meaningfully and asked: "Er, do you have any secret connection with Queen Calia? Why do I feel that she is not surprised by the 180-degree change in attitude towards the Scourge?"
?”
"Well..."
Sarlayan shrugged and turned to look at Valeela, who was in charge of intelligence work.
Valeera took the topic knowingly and said, "Queen Calia does not know the full extent of Sarlayan's plan."
"However, because he knew in advance that Alonsos Faol was resurrected as an undead, and secretly cooperated with Sarlayan on a big plan, the ice-smart queen's subordinates should have more or less guesses about the direction of the situation."
"As for whether there is a secret connection..."
Valeela smiled half-heartedly and turned the topic back to Sarlayan, who wanted to pass the blame.
"This question should be answered by Sarlayan himself. I only know that they have been 'paper masters and apprentices' for several years, or... pen pals?"
