Sharlayan and his party did not stay in the Kingdom of Stormwind for long.
After having lunch with the enthusiastic King Varian and the still lively Queen Tiffin, with the assistance of the court mage, the four returned to Quel'Thalas in the far north of the continent through the semi-permanent portal.
"It turns out there is this kind of relationship between them."
After learning the origin of Edwin VanCleef from Sarlayan, Valeera, who was in charge of intelligence, said with emotion: "I wonder how it is possible for a mere mason leader to suddenly become a senior cadre of MI7.
"
Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "In the eyes of ordinary people, thieves are low-level people, and their social status cannot be compared with legitimate jobs such as masons."
"If it weren't for Patsonia's teachings back then, Van Cleef, who already holds a high position in the Masonic Brotherhood, would not have resolutely joined MI7."
"Okay."
Saryan clapped his hands: "The story of Van Cleef ends here for now."
"Valeela and I are going to report to the Sun King what we have learned from this outing first. Oni, you and Stella should go back to Unicorn Town first and check whether Little Tina's government supervision work is going smoothly."
Speaking of her sister, Stellagosa's brows twitched: "To be honest, I'm a little worried about that girl... Oni, let's set off now."
"Ha~" Onyxia yawned lazily: "Okay, let's leave first. You two remember to come back early."
During this trip to Blackstone Mountain, Valeera was the last one to leave Unicorn Town.
Before setting off, she handed over the task of supervising the territory to Tinagosa, who was still working hard to complete her homework.
With her rapidly growing little friend Gianna as a reference, Tina, a "child" who is over 100 years old, finally put away her playfulness and worked hard to complete various training tasks assigned by her sister. Her playful and playful mentality gradually matured.
Sarlayan, Valeera and others have watched Tina's growth, and letting her stay in the territory to supervise government affairs this time is a test.
If she can successfully complete the supervision task, Sarlayan will take her with him the next time he goes out. If the supervision task is not completed satisfactorily... then Sarlayan will have to reconsider his promise to her.
Watching the anxious Stellagosa and lazy Onyxia open the door and leave together, Sarlayan shook his head in a funny way: "This can be regarded as caring and chaos, we can all see Tina's growth, but
Du Stella is still worried that she will get into trouble."
Valeera also smiled and said: "After all, we are sisters who grew up together. It is impossible not to worry."
Under the guidance of the court mage from the Tower of Sunfury, Sarlayan and Valeera entered the Sunstrider Court and went straight to Kael'thas' private office.
Coincidentally, Welles was reporting to Kael'thas in the office about the news coming from the other side of the sea.
"...To sum up, as the situation in the sea is getting worse and worse, the night elves put aside their arrogance for the first time and asked for support from Quel'Thalas and Suramar."
"The situation at sea? Support?"
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows curiously: "Did Naga launch a large-scale attack again?"
Kael'thas, with a tired look on his face, forced a smile to Sharlayan: "You are finally back. It's a little later than I expected. Did you encounter any emergencies?"
Sarlayan took out the slate delivered by Daglan from the space package and gently laid it flat on Kael'thas' desk.
"It went very smoothly in Shadowforge City. The people from Backlight Blade should have compiled the detailed information about the Molten Core War and handed it over to you, so I won't go into details."
"The problem is later."
Sarlayan's expression became serious: "Due to the unusual behavior of the Black Dragon Prince Nefarian, I specially sent Valeera and Onyxia to sneak into the Black Wing Lair to investigate for intelligence."
Kael'thas frowned slightly: "What did you find?"
"To summarize, there are two main things."
Sarlayan stretched out his right index and middle fingers one after another: "Firstly, Deathwing's return will be at least 3 years later. Secondly, Nefarian has long planned to part ways with Deathwing, but because it is still in its infancy, it has not been done yet.
Take action.”
Kael'thas was stunned for a while before he smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples: "It is indeed important information... Thank you for your hard work."
Sarlayan turned his attention to Uncle Welles, who was still looking businesslike: "So? What is the situation over there with the night elves?"
Out of courtesy, Verlais did not immediately answer his nephew's question. Instead, he first looked at Kael'thas, who looked tired, and asked for instructions. After receiving approval, he told the whole story.
The main reason why Sarlayan wanted to seize the time to solve the problem of Molten Core was to obtain the summoning information of the King of Elements kept by the Thaurissan clan.
In recent years, Naga's expansion speed in the sea has accelerated significantly after obtaining the Tide Stone.
Sarlayan handed over the Tidestone, and he should of course bear responsibility for the consequences.
Naga Queen Azshara kept her promise and did not set foot on land again before the end of the agreed time. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the coastal countries including Quel'Thalas, Suramar and Kul Tiras.
information.
But when making this deal, Saryan missed one point.
That is the unsolvable class hatred between Naga and Night Elf.
Not all of the Dark Night Empire's capital city, Zin-Azshari, sank into the sea. To this day, many architectural ruins from the outer city of Zin-Azshara still remain in the Azshara region.
What really suffered was the inner city area of Xin Aisali, which was the aristocratic area where dignitaries gathered.
And these high-ranking high elves during the Dark Night Empire looked down upon the night elves commoners. They never thought that Queen Azshara's solid rule would be overthrown by a group of lowly mud-legged people.
During the ten thousand years that they sank into the sea, the earliest batch of Nagas never forgot their hatred for the night elves' "traitors".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A slap in the face can't make a difference, and some night elves led by Tyrande, the high priest of the moon, also deeply hate the high-borne elves who were riding on their heads and domineering.
The conflict between the two is a typical class conflict. To put it bluntly, it is a butt fight. It has nothing to do with who is right and who is wrong. It is just a simple struggle for interests.
Azshara did promise that she would not invade land again before the end of the agreed time, but she did not say that Naga could not attack ships sailing at sea.
Naga regards the sea as its own restricted area. Any ship going out to sea may be attacked by Naga, and the ships of the Dark Night Republic are the hardest hit areas.
In order to support Fandral Staghelm's continued development of the Sholazar Basin, Estorante Port in the Azshara region often sends ships to transport supplies and manpower to land in the Borean Tundra, and then transports these manpower and manpower overland.
Transport physical resources to their destination.
Naga spotted this route and sent people to harass it every two days.
As a last resort, the night elves signed a cooperation agreement with the Hydraxia water elementals in the Azshara region to jointly fight against the expanding Naga forces.
However, the leaderless Water Elemental was no match for the well-disciplined and well-organized Naga. As time went by, the attacks on the ships of the Republic of Dark Night became more and more serious.
Naga made it clear that they wanted to trap the night elves on the mainland and prevent them from having any contact with overseas.
When Sarlayan sent someone to explain the situation to the water elemental of Hydraxia and ask for the water essence, the night elves also contributed a lot behind the scenes.
However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst. Even if Sarlayan can successfully expel the Fire Lord's clone and obtain the summoning information from the Dark Iron Dwarves, it will still take a lot of time to change the fire elemental summoning into a water elemental summoning.
Fandral Staghelm has not received support from the mainland for several months, and it has been pressed hard recently.
In order to ensure that this batch of materials and personnel could reach their destination safely, the night elves, who were not familiar with underwater warfare, could only bite the bullet and ask for help from Suramar and distant relatives in Quel'Thalas.
"Is this so..."
Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "I can contact Dailin and ask him to send reinforcements, but..."
Sarlayan spread his hands helplessly: "Kul Tiras is a maritime power, not an underwater power."
"The Kul Tirans are indeed very brave when fighting on the sea, but it is still unknown how effective they can be in the face of the Naga who are prone to diving and drilling ships."
Kael'thas was also troubled by this.
It's rare for a night elf to reach out for help, and both Quel'Thalas and Quel'Thalas should try their best to win this favor.
But Kael'thas was still a little unsure about the diving equipment that Sharlayan had requested in advance.
"How about this."
Kael'thas thought of a compromise: "We are preparing two plans. While contacting Kul Tiras, we will also conduct high-pressure actual combat tests on the batch of diving equipment you requested."
Kael'thas said with a deep look: "We don't need Daelin to send a large number of warships. Those bulky ships cannot give full play to their advantages when facing Naga."
"What we need is a spellcaster unique to the sea kingdom of Kul Tiras - the Tide Sage."
