Since Kul Tiras was unable to mobilize enough icebreakers at the first time, the Quel'Thalas Northern Expedition was divided into two groups.
The first batch is an attack team mainly composed of the Morning Frontier Legion and Ranger troops, as well as arcane golems and engineering teams for construction.
The second batch is the trump card of Quel'Thalas - the magister troops specially drawn from the major legions.
Since it takes a lot of time to mobilize and reorganize the mage team, Kael'thas plans to let them set off on the second batch of icebreakers, which is expected to arrive about 5-8 days later than the first batch of troops.
Before the Northern Expedition arrived, Stellagosa and Tinagosa had figured out the flow of the magic network in Crystalsong Forest, and applied for permission from Malygos, who was in a good mood recently.
As soon as the engineering team arrives, they can immediately start construction centered on the rerouted Magic Network node.
In addition, Sarlayan also did not forget his other purpose of taking over Crystalsong Forest.
Fandral Staghelm's action did not go as smoothly as he expected.
After returning to Mount Hyjal, Staghelm spent a lot of time trying to convince Malfurion who had doubts. Finally, with the help of Jarod, Malfurion agreed to Staghelm's help in Quel'Thalas.
Rebuild Shantara.
When Staghelm excitedly appeared at the foot of the giant rune tree through the dream passage, Farodin the Valley Walker happened to be teleporting from Shal'Alan to Crystalsong Forest with the improved new Arcandor seeds.
Although the Northern Expeditionary Army has not arrived yet, the corresponding preparations can already be started in advance.
The first is the transformation of the rune giant tree.
With Stellagosa's assistance, Staghelm established a direct connection between the rune giant trees in Crystalsong Forest and the mother tree of Eversong Forest, Sath'ara.
In this way, the endless magic power of the Sunwell can be directly transmitted to Crystalsong Forest through the magic network that has been transformed by Stellagosa.
After the preparations were completed, Farodin immediately planted the seeds of New Arcandor.
Catalyzed by the Druid's natural magic and a steady stream of magic power, the tree seeds sprouted and grew rapidly, growing into a small tree in just a few days.
In the process, Stellagosa discovered a problem.
Perhaps due to long-distance transmission, the speed and efficiency of the sunwell's energy output are subject to certain limitations, and it cannot be used as unscrupulously as in Quel'Thalas.
However, it is more than enough to supply Arcandor's growth and the engineering team's arcane puppets at the moment.
Like the original Arcandor, with ample supply of natural energy and magic, this small tree will mature in a year and produce thousands of miracle fruits at once.
In order to protect this precious tree of miracles, Kael'thas decided to build a city with Akandor as the center and guard it in the center of the city.
Staghelm and Farodin came and went in a hurry, and then they had to rush to areas around the world where other giant rune trees were located to plant the seeds of New Arcandor one by one.
Before leaving, Farodin left behind two assistants.
These two druids had participated in the entire process of the original Arcandor's growth and maturity, and knew how to take care of the Miracle Tree and how to deal with the many problems faced during its growth.
In addition to the thieves of the Backlight Blade who were still busy delivering information every day, until the Northern Expedition arrived at Howling Fjord and passed the Dragonblight Wilderness and entered Crystalsong Forest with permission, Sarlayan, Stellagosa and Little Tina continued to
Guard next to Arcandor.
The city has not yet begun to be built, and now Arcandor is at its weakest defense, and Sarlayan dare not leave even a step away.
Seeing the arrival of the main force of the Morning Herald led by Liadrin and the ranger force led by Sylvanas, Sharlayan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't say anything."
Sharlayan waved his hand to stop Liadrin, who was wearing armor, from saluting, and nodded to Sylvanas, who had a strange light in her eyes.
"The architects have already finished the drawings of the new Shandara City, right? Let the engineering team take action first and build the Lord's Mansion and the inner city for me."
This was not the first time for Liadrin and Sylvanas to deal with Sharlayan, and they knew that he had such a resolute temper.
Liadrin shook her head and laughed, waving her hand to the engineering team protected behind to push up the arcane golem for construction.
After the construction site was surrounded, the arcane puppets immediately began to take action.
With a sufficient supply of magic power from the Sun Well, these engineering puppets can work 24 hours a day, and can lay the foundation of the new Sundala City in the shortest possible time.
Leaving a small number of troops to guard the construction site centered on Arcandor, Sarlayan led a large army down the river and arrived near the ruins of Shandalar City in the eastern part of Crystalsong Forest.
The forest was not suitable for cavalry to gallop, so the paladins of the Morning Herald Legion were left to camp nearby, while the rangers followed the officer corps and continued eastward until they came to a dense forest near the junction of Crystalsong Forest and Zul'Drak.
pace.
This time the ranger troops went on an expedition to Northrend, and Sylvanas left her lieutenant Lor'themar Aqiang...ah, Lor'themar Theron to stay in Quel'Thalas.
Although the Amani Trolls are no longer able to fight back, who knows whether the Moss Rotten Trolls will be persuaded by them, so necessary precautions must be taken.
The purpose of the Farstriders is to guard the borders of Quel'Thalas and protect the interests of all high elves in Azeroth from harm.
To put it simply, this civilian ranger organization usually only participates in battles related to guardianship.
This time, Quel'Thalas' attack on Zul'Drak has gone beyond active self-defense. The Farstriders, led by Vereesa, do not intend to participate in the war, which is inconsistent with the Farstriders' philosophy.
Although Vereesa herself did not intend to participate in the war, she sent her younger brother Lyras here to temporarily serve as Sylvanas's adjutant as the next head of the Windrunner family.
The Ranger Force was originally established by the Windrunner family, and no one would question Lyras's promotion.
After all, the only male in the Windrunner family will most likely replace the second sister in the future and become the new Ranger General.
But that will be at least a hundred years later, and Sylvanas is not ready to let go at this stage.
Lyras still has a lot to learn and a lot of experience to accumulate.
After returning from Dalaran last time, Sharlayan quietly told Sylvanas and Vereesa about Lyras's ambivalence.
Since the Windrunner family sent him to join the Northern Expedition, he himself is willing to join, which shows that the conflict in Lylas's heart has been alleviated to a certain extent.
Lyras frowned and looked at the listless troll soldiers in the Drakkari Vanguard Camp.
"These blue-skinned guys are the Drakkari of the frost troll clan? How do you feel..."
Sarlayan smiled knowingly: "Very lack of energy?"
"This is natural. After all, not long ago all the senior officers of this vanguard army were assassinated in one night. It is strange that morale can be boosted so quickly."
"Assassination..."
Sylvanas's expression was still cold, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes when she looked at Sarlayan.
"You did it?"
Sarlayan shrugged: "It's not my fault alone, the Backlight Blade also contributed a lot."
"By the way, speaking of the Backlight Blade..."
Sarlayan scratched his head with a naive expression: "Did Valeera ask you to bring any news?"
Liadrin, who was born as a legitimate noble lady, covered her mouth and smiled gracefully, but Sylvanas, a free-spirited noble lady, rolled her eyes without hesitation.
"She asked us to warn you not to mess around with women in Northrend, and to send a message to Stella to ask her to keep an eye on you."
"Huh?" Sarlayan complained with his dead eyes: "Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between public and private affairs? That little jealous..."
Stellagosa suppressed her smile, shrugged her shoulders and assured, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him."
"And Sharlayan doesn't have time to flirt with women at all. This guy is born to work hard. He has never been idle since he arrived in Northrend."
"Hmph~"
Sylvanas hummed noncommittally: "I hope so."
While Little Star was telling Sylvanas and Liadrin about the situation of the Drakkari trolls, Sharlayan quietly grabbed Lyras who was about to follow him.
"Come here, I have something to ask you."
Lilas followed Sarlayan to the side in confusion.
"What are you doing? We are still talking about business."
Sarlayan pouted at Sylvanas Debon's back with some distress: "Have I ever offended your second sister? Why do I feel like her nose is different from my nose and my eyes are different from my eyes?"
"Haha~"
Lilaspi smiled without a smile and twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are really a noble person who forgets things. Do you still remember who got that title that made her crazy?"
"Honestly, I'm surprised that she was able to restrain herself from punching someone."
