Lylas Windrunner was a playmate who grew up with Sharlayan and Valeera. The three of them had a close relationship and talked about almost everything.
Compared with Sarlayan, who was either fighting or on the way to a fight when he was young, Lylas was a bit naughty, but the troubles he caused were far less than Sarlayan.
After the defense of Quel'Thalas caused by the massive invasion of the Horde, the "awakened" Sarlayan left his hometown with Valeera and embarked on an adventure journey to become a legendary hero.
Lyras stayed in the Ranger Army due to family reasons. As an ordinary soldier, he followed the Alliance army to defeat the Horde in the decisive battle of the Searing Gorge.
Before the three of them parted ways in Quel'Thalas, there was little difference in strength between them.
After the war, Lylas followed his second sister Sylvanas back to Quel'Thalas, while Sharlayan and Valeera continued to wander outside and experienced countless hardships and practical tests, which led to Lyras'
The speed of progress was gradually lagged behind by the two of them.
As a member of the Windrunner family, Lylas also inherited from his blood the strong will and unwillingness to admit defeat from his ancestors.
Under Sharlayan's guidance, Lyras, who had lagged behind in his progress in strength, began to catch up, and successively served as a ranger troop captain, adjutant, and leader of the Farstriders.
In the past two years, Lylas has led the Farstriders to go to the Hinterland Highlands many times, and with the cooperation of the Wildhammer dwarves, they have conducted actual combat training with the local Vilebranch Trolls.
He also responded to the invitation of the Wildhammer dwarves and established a Farstrider camp named Quel'danil in Cintra.
Under the supervision of his two sisters, Lilas, who worked hard to improve himself, made rapid progress.
Although his rising speed cannot be compared with that of a genius like Jaina, it is not much slower than her.
Since Lyras started at a higher level than Jaina, now he, like Jaina, is stuck before he can break through and become a legendary ranger.
The ranger troops in the North cannot be easily mobilized. Even if Vereesa, as the commander, is ordered to return to the homeland, someone must take her place.
The Ranger Force has always been run by the Windrunner family. Kael'thas is very aware of the Windrunner family's loyalty to the country and their contributions from generation to generation, and has no intention of changing this tradition that has lasted for thousands of years.
Today, among the core members of the Windrunner family, the head of the family, Lelessa, sits in the cabinet as the Minister of Defense, holding a high and powerful position.
Sylvanas took over the position vacated after her mother left and became the new ranger general. She could not easily leave the mainland of Eversong Forest.
Alleria stayed in Draenor on the other side of the Dark Portal with the Alliance Expeditionary Force, not knowing when she would be able to return home.
Excluding this, the Windrunner family only has the third sister Vereesa and the youngest brother Lyras who can be mobilized at will as mobile forces.
In comparison, Vereesa is stronger and more experienced, and is more suitable than Lylas when someone needs to be employed in an emergency.
The situation in Northrend is currently relatively stable, and leaving Vereesa there would be a bit of a waste. Kael'thas plans to transfer this powerful legendary ranger back to his homeland for his use.
"Hmm..." Sarlayan murmured and touched his chin: "After Lylas gave up his playfulness and gradually matured, his progress in the past few years has been visible to the naked eye. He has already reached the threshold of legend, and only needs the final step.
One kick."
"And he has experienced a lot of practical experience as the leader of the Farstriders. There should be no problem in sending him to Northrend to take over Vereesa's position."
"...Of course, the premise is that Northrend will not encounter any major changes in a short period of time. Otherwise, with his current strength, it will be difficult for him to gain favor from those cunning enemies."
With the defeat of the Dragonflayer Vrykul at the hands of Kul Tiras, there are only a few forces in Northrend that can pose a threat to New Shandalar.
Loken, the Drakkari troll, and the Scourge hiding in Icecrown Glacier are quietly growing.
According to Sarlayan's speculation, Loken should not dare to make big moves in a short period of time. If Raiden suddenly descends from the sky... With Raiden's supreme authority in Ulduar, this guy may not be able to fight on the spot.
GG.
The Drakkari trolls... can't be completely ignored, but Sharlayan doesn't think they dare to jump out and cause trouble, otherwise they wouldn't be so quiet in the past few years.
The last Scourge is the force that worries Sarlayan the most.
On the one hand, it is because the Scourge is secretly extending its tentacles to the Eastern Kingdom, using the "Eternal Life" sect to recruit those old nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death to strengthen themselves.
On the other hand, it is also because of the Burning Legion who is hiding behind the Scourge and causing trouble secretly.
Those fear devils seem to be quite honest in recent years, but even Sharlayan can't guarantee whether these big bats that can change their shapes at will have quietly sneaked into the major kingdoms to quietly cause trouble.
In any case, Northrend should continue to be peaceful until the Scourge has accumulated enough strength.
Once there is any trouble, Kel'Thuzad, who is lurking within the Scourge as an undercover agent, will immediately inform Sharlayan of the news.
After listening to Sarlayan's analysis, Kael'thas nodded with confidence.
"That's no problem. The pressure in Northrend is not great at this stage. It's just enough for Lylas to stay away from his warm homeland and the elders who always take care of him, and go to the ice-covered Northland continent to have a good experience."
"Maybe we can take this opportunity to help him break through the bottleneck."
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "I have no objection, but... what should the Farstriders do if the leadership position is once again vacant? It is impossible to hand it back to Vereesa."
Kael'thas shook his head: "Of course that's impossible. I still have another use for Vereesa. Let's leave the Farstriders to that lazy guy Halduron Brightwing to manage for the time being."
"During your absence, there have been frequent warnings coming from the Watchfort in the Cursed Land."
Talking about this matter, Sarlayan's expression became serious: "Is there something wrong with the Dark Portal again?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yeah."
Kael'thas's expression was also a little solemn: "According to the inspection of Archmage Ansrem Ruinwevor, someone is trying to repair the transmission channel that was blown up by Khadgar on the other side of the Dark Portal."
Sarlayan frowned and rubbed his temples: "Burning Legion? Has the Expeditionary Army lost control of the Dark Portal?"
Kael'thas shook his head: "We don't know for the time being, but we must prepare for the worst in advance."
"The mages of Dalaran are actively interfering with the progress of the people on the other side in repairing the Dark Portal, but after all, there is a limit."
"According to Archmage Ansrem's prediction, if this progress continues, the Dark Portal connecting Azeroth and Draenor will be opened again within a year at the latest."
"One year..." Sarlayan sighed with a wry smile: "By then, I'm afraid the Scourge Legion will also take the opportunity to rise up... It will be a disaster."
Kael'thas smiled and comforted: "This situation of being attacked from both sides was within the scope of your prediction, but I didn't expect it to actually come true."
"Huh~"
Sarlayan rubbed his cheeks vigorously and quickly adjusted his mood: "So, you are planning to let Vereesa lead a part of the ranger troops to enter the Watch Keep in advance to prepare more fully for the defense of the Dark Portal that will inevitably start in the future.
Prepare?"
"Yes, this is the suggestion of Defense Minister Leleza, and I and the cabinet ministers think it makes sense."
…
As the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts. Liressa has led the ranger troops for many years, and has extremely rich experience in troop command and combat.
The judgment she made based on her professional knowledge and experience should be correct. Of course, Sarlayan would not let an outsider instruct an expert to question her decision.
The Backlight Blade in Kael'thas' hand can quickly produce detailed reports about Lyras, but his spiritual abilities are difficult to define by outsiders.
This is also the reason why he asked Sarlayan, Lylas's disciple, for advice.
After gaining Sarlayan's approval, the transfer orders regarding Vereesa and Lylas were basically finalized.
Both Vereesa and Lylas themselves chose to obey the sudden orders without hesitation.
Now that Quel'Thalas is very peaceful, Lyras can't always lead the Farstriders to travel thousands of miles to the Hinterlands to fight trolls. He should always change his enemies to practice his skills.
Vereesa had no objection to being transferred to Nethergarde Keep.
Alleria had been trapped in Draenor for several years. When she learned that the Dark Portal would soon open again, not to mention Vereesa, Sylvanas, who also missed her eldest sister, almost couldn't help but volunteered.
.
Knowing that Sarlayan planned to go to Northrend for business in the near future, Kael'thas approved his request without saying a word, and asked him to take Lyras with him, and handed the official transfer order to Vereesa.
, allowing the two siblings to complete the handover of duties on the spot.
Kael'thas's knack for beating snakes and throwing the blame away from the stick left Sarlayan a little speechless, and complained angrily: "When are we going to set off? There are old and young at home, so you should let me go home for a few days to recuperate."
