Chapter 842 Sitting high in the sky? Come down here!
Lyras is now the leader of the Far Walkers. As the only male in the Windrunner family, he will need to inherit the Windrunner family fortune sooner or later.
In order to increase his knowledge and experience in commanding troops in combat, Sylvanas specifically applied to the Sun King to bring him with him in this raid into the Molten Core.
Far Traveler is not an official organization, but an organization founded voluntarily by private individuals.
In principle, even the Sun King has no power to give them orders.
That being said, when the Sun King lowers his dignity and issues a commission in a private capacity, it is impossible for any leader of the Far Travelers to completely lose face.
Moreover, Sylvanas was only following the procedures out of her public duties to prevent civilians from entering the military camp and breaking the rules.
If she wanted to be more serious, Sylvanas could force Lyras to accompany her as her sister. Most people would choose to turn a blind eye to such borderline violations.
Unless the territory and citizens of Quel'Thalas are in danger, the Farstriders, whose purpose is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of all highborne elves and their descendants, will not easily send troops.
Lyras only followed Sylvanas on the expedition in a private capacity this time, and his lieutenant Halduron Brightwing stayed behind in the Farstrider camp to take care of daily affairs.
After many years of separation, under the strict urging and teachings of many ranger elders, Lylas's strength has made great progress.
His ranger level has reached level 45, and he is not too far away from entering the legendary realm. This rate of progress is even beyond Sarlayan's expectations.
But being motivated is ultimately a good thing.
As the Scourge enters its active period, Azeroth is about to enter a precarious era again, and the Burning Legion and the forces of the Old Gods will one after another jump out to cause trouble.
The stronger you are, the more confident you can be to protect yourself and the important people around you, and protect the home you rely on for survival.
If we follow the original historical timetable, there will still be 3-4 years before the Scourge Legion officially launches its attack.
However, in view of the many changes that Sarlayan has caused to important historical events, this time is not necessarily accurate.
Under Kil'jaeden's urging, Ner'zhul may launch it earlier or later, but it is unlikely to accurately block the original timeline.
Once Ner'zhul plans to officially announce the rise of the Scourge to the world, Kel'Thuzad will definitely find a way to inform Sharlayan of the news in advance, so that the guardian forces of Azeroth can have sufficient preparation time.
In short, the rise of the Scourge is an inevitable event, and the so-called Lich King is just a pawn of the Shadow Realm and the Burning Legion, and can only dance under their command.
Before one's own strength is sufficient to cope with the unknown dangers that will inevitably come from changing history, rushing to exterminate the Scourge will only lead to more serious consequences.
With Sharlayan's advance plan, it is impossible for the Scourge to cause the huge and irreparable damage to Azeroth as it was in the original history. At least Sharlayan will never allow Quel'Thalas to be breached by the Scourge.
As for Kil'jaeden's attempt to obtain the power of the Sunwell to summon Archimonde the Defiler... Sarlayan also came up with countermeasures, but he just had to waste more time.
After discussions with Danmaku, Sarlayan basically agreed with their views.
Archimonde the Defiler must come to Azeroth, and he must die in Azeroth.
For big demons of Archimonde and Kil'jaeden's level, if you want to resurrect them, the amount of energy you need to consume is no joke, it must be an astronomical figure.
In the original history, Archimonde has been dead for many years, but the Burning Legion still has not resurrected him.
In other words, if Archimonde can be killed in Azeroth, the Defiler will semi-permanently withdraw from the long-lasting war between the Burning Legion and Azeroth, making it easier for the future decisive battle with the Burning Legion.
Difficulty.
And Sarlayan has another consideration.
The night elves have enjoyed the eternal blessing of the world tree Nordrassil for ten thousand years. Some night elves even distinguish their existence form from mortals, and always assume a superior posture when communicating with other races.
Sharlayan can't stand this. He doesn't allow any mortal race to claim to have a different life form and step on the heads of other races, even if the other race is a distant relative of the high elves.
Therefore, Nordrassil is bound to explode.
Strictly speaking, it was not Nordrassil that exploded, but the arrogance brewed by the night elves enjoying privileges for tens of thousands of years.
At least until things develop to this point, Sarlayan will not take action to change history.
After the Third War is over, the night elves who have lost their immortality will return to the same level as other mortal races in Azeroth.
At that time, other countries, including Quel'Thalas, can truly negotiate equal terms with the Dark Night Republic and jointly build a strong defense line to protect Azeroth.
Some people in the barrage thought this plan was insidious and a typical plan to benefit oneself at the expense of others.
Salayan did not comment on this, nor did he intend to refute or explain.
Looking at the overall situation, it is necessary to bring the night elves down from the altar, but there is no need to let them lose too many people in the third war like they did in the original history.
Sarlayan briefly reminisced with Lyras and encouraged him to continue working hard.
After that, he squatted in this unnoticed corner with the soldiers of Quel'Thalas, waiting patiently for Valeera to deliver the most critical item to disintegrate the Molten Core.
Since they can't move around, Sarlayan and others can only entertain themselves.
While watching Lyras and Liadrin play the Hearthstone card game, Sharlayan took the opportunity to chat with Sylvanas, who was also watching the game.
As a senior officer in Quel'Thalas, Sylvanas' efficiency in receiving intelligence is not as high as that of the Backlight Blade thieves, but it is not much slower.
She also heard about the increasingly frequent changes in the Dark Portal, and with complicated emotions mentioned Alleria to Sarlayan after years of separation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the 8th year of the Dark Portal, Alleria volunteered to stay in Draenor with the expeditionary force. Since then, the Windrunner family has never been seen again.
Have seen her.
Not only Sylvanas, Vereesa who is stationed in New Shandalar and Lyras who is working hard to improve himself miss their eldest sister.
Although Liressa, who was in charge of the cabinet, did not say anything about it, as her children, the three Windrunner siblings could all see their mother's concern and longing for Alleria's delay in returning.
"Aurelia..."
Speaking of Alleria, who was far away on the other side of the Dark Portal, Sarlayan's expression was a little subtle.
If the development of the original history is followed, Alleria developed a relationship with Turalyon while staying in Draenor, and gave birth to a half-elf son named Arator.
In this timeline, Sarlayan didn't think there was any romantic connection between Alleria and Turalyon, but things like historical inertia... who can say for sure.
After working together in Delano for 6 years, it wouldn't be surprising if the two of them really developed a romantic spark.
Although there is no definite basis yet, Sarlayan has a hunch.
Perhaps when the Scourge officially launches its attack, the Dark Portal will be opened again at the same time, launching a two-pronged invasion of Azeroth.
If the Burning Legion really enters Azeroth through the Dark Portal, the number of troops currently stationed in Nethergarde Keep will not be enough.
To put it more seriously, even if the Kingdom of Stormwind devotes all its efforts to attack, there is a high probability that it will be unable to do so. At most, it will delay the advancement of the Burning Legion.
The Kingdom of Stormwind is the most important line of defense guarding the Dark Portal. The northern countries have learned a lesson once and must not let the Kingdom of Stormwind perish again.
Otherwise, the demons that destroyed the Kingdom of Stormwind could easily march straight into the densely populated areas in the north, just like the old tribes did.
Fortunately, after receiving Sharlayan's reminder, the young King Varian immediately raised his alert and requested reinforcements from Eagle's Nest Mountain, Gnomeregan and Ironforge, as well as the Alliance of Lordaeron, which had long existed in name only.
A warning letter was sent.
After retracting his wandering thoughts, Sarlayan patted Sylvanas on the shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, you also know Alleria's strength. She will not be killed by the demon so easily."
"Even if she encounters an enemy she cannot defeat, with her mobility as a ranger, there is no problem in escaping from the battlefield."
Sylvanas smiled bitterly and nodded: "I'm afraid that Alleria will be stubborn and give up her ranger advantage to go head-to-head with the devil in order to gain control of the Dark Portal."
Sarlayan hesitated: "This... probably, no."
[In fact, it is not completely impossible, but the premise is that Alleria did not fall into the trap of the Burning Legion and was picked up by the Legion of Light in the Twisting Nether. 】
