Li De felt very guilty. The number of casualties in this disaster exceeded 1,000. In his opinion, if he had paid attention to it earlier, this disaster could have been avoided.
Looking at the devastated deep sand plain, Li De's heart was bleeding, and when he saw the changes in Chen Stormstout, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Chen Stormstout found an iron ring out of nowhere and tied up his messy hair. Now he completely became a toutuo.
Chen Stormstout, who has deep inner demons, puts another heavy burden on Li De. He knows that he must not be crushed now. No matter how many difficulties he encounters, he will overcome them.
…
Elements only appeared in the ancient city of Petra at first, but gradually, activities of elemental life appeared in many places throughout Tanaris, and the types are not limited to fire elements!
First, the earth element appeared near Zul'Farrak, then the wind element appeared in the southern part of the deep sand plain, and finally the water element was discovered near the clear spring. So far, all four elements have appeared in the vast sea.
Protector!
Li De was very lucky to have left the First Division behind the Hanhai Protectorate after the war, otherwise the Hanhai Protectorate would never have been able to withstand this massive elemental riot!
But even so, the military strength of the Hanhai Protector seems to be stretched thin. Troops are needed everywhere within the territory. No one knows where the elusive element will suddenly appear next moment.
At the time of crisis, Li De made a promise to all the people of the Hanhai Protectorate that he would never leave the Hanhai Protectorate until the disaster was over, and vowed to live and die with the Hanhai people.
After this, Li De, on behalf of the Hanhai Protector, sent a request for help to the joint conference and alliance of all ethnic groups.
The elemental riot that occurred in the Hanhai Protector has already involved the original power, and naturally it has attracted the attention of the entire world.
"In the past, the Protector of Hanhai has helped many of our countries and races. Now it's our turn to repay this kindness!"
At the urgent joint meeting of all races, Krasus's words resonated with many people. It was the Zandalari who first responded to the Dragon Clan. Because of the Loa faith, they have always maintained a good relationship with the Protector of the Vast Sea.
Then there is Kurdran Wildhammer, who has a close personal relationship with Reed.
"The Wildhammer dwarves are a race that masters elemental magic. I will personally lead a troop to the Vast Sea Protector to assist Li De!"
In the operation to save the Red Dragon Queen, Li De and others helped the Wildhammer dwarves regain their lost land of Grim Batol. Due to the warlike nature of the previous Kozan War, and the busy rebuilding of the severely damaged Grim Batol,
So the Wildhammer dwarves were not involved.
Now that the Hanhai Protector is in danger, Cullan, a gentle man, steps forward to help.
Naturally, the other countries in the alliance didn't need much. Even Gilneas sent a rescue team of 200 people.
At this time, the value of Li De's long-standing emphasis on diplomatic work was revealed. As the initiator of the new world order, the Protectorate of the Hanhai Sea has extraordinary significance.
Pumilo, who attended the meeting as a representative of Hanhai, couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw what happened in front of him. He believed that Li De, who was on the battlefield at the moment, would be very happy to know about it.
However, after various countries provided assistance, they had to face another problem.
From the Kingdom Continent to Kalimdor, even if the boat ride goes smoothly, it will take a week. However, the situation of the Hanhai Protectorate is extremely critical now, and there is not that much time left for them.
It is unrealistic to use the portal to send troops there. At this time, there is definitely no such thing as being reluctant to consume arcane crystals. Even if Alterac and the Guardian of the Vast Sea go out of their way to consume arcane crystals, the portal itself is not like this
With such a large carrying capacity, once the magic circuit of the portal collapses, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Kingdom Continent still needs to keep in touch with the Protector of the Vast Sea at all times. The portal can only teleport alone. There must be no mistakes at this time.
"Maybe we could try mass teleportation?"
At this time, Khadgar, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
Khadgar's current status is very transcendent. Although he has always lived in Dalaran, he is not under the jurisdiction of Dalaran. Almost everyone has acquiesced in one thing. In the future, he will take over from Medivh and become the leader of Dalaran.
The next guardian of humanity.
This is why he can participate in the joint conference of all ethnic groups in a very special capacity.
"You mean to use the group teleportation array like we did in Gorongas?"
Antonidas' snow-white thick eyebrows suddenly raised, and Khadgar had successfully teleported the entire army across the continent twice. However, the prerequisite for successful teleportation is not only a large amount of arcane energy, but also the existence of evil energy.
.
Gorongas is a different world, and you can ignore the rules when you are in a hurry, but it is different in Azeroth.
Fel energy is not tolerated by the world in Azeroth, and Dalaran only conducts small-scale research in order to further understand its enemies.
If evil energy is actually applied, it will inevitably cause bad effects.
"I don't agree to do that. It's too dangerous. In history, Dalaran's abuse of arcane magic has caused the tearing of space and attracted the invasion of demons. If evil energy is used, it will inevitably attract more terrible things.
enemy."
"Great Magister Antonidas, the Protector of the Hanhai Sea is in danger. At this time, you are still looking forward and backward. Doesn't it mean that you don't plan to rescue the Protector of the Hanhai Sea?"
The impulsive Kurdran asked angrily, and the expression on Antonidas's face froze instantly.
"Your Excellency Kurdran, please don't get me wrong. I unconditionally support assisting the Hanhai Protector. I just said that we should try to use safer methods of assistance.
The Protector of the Hanhai Sea is strong, and Protector Li De’s personal ability is also extraordinary. I wonder why we don’t give Protector Li De more trust. I believe that even if a more secure navigation route is adopted, the Protector of the Hanhai Sea will be able to persist.
to our aid.”
At this time Pumillo stood up from his seat.
"Great Magister Antonidas, please forgive my rudeness. But now the Hanhai Protector has entered a critical moment of life and death! Every time we delay for one day, many people will die!
Do you think that the report I just read is that we are deliberately exaggerating the facts? If you don't believe it, please go to Gadgetzan through the portal and see with your own eyes what really happened there!
That is our capital city, but even in the capital city of Hanhai, you can still see traces of the raging elements!"
Pumillo's words made Antonidas even more embarrassed, and Kurdran began to speak rudely.
"Grand Magister, we have known each other since the middle of the Second Orc War. I have known you earlier than I have known Li De. I have always respected you, and I am deeply impressed by your selflessness and fraternity, but
I really don’t understand your words and deeds today. Could it be that the great mage I have always respected has begun to have selfish motives?"
Kurdran's words deeply hurt Antonidas. After Fao's death, he became the most respected elder in the entire alliance. Looking at Antonidas, he deserves to be evaluated as selfless.
But now he does have a hint of selfishness in this matter.
Group teleportation arrays have undoubted advantages over single teleportation gates. Most of Dalaran's financial income now comes from the teleportation industry. If the world realizes the advantages of group teleportation gates, it is likely to have an impact on teleportation gates.
industry.
Of course, this only accounts for a small part of Antonidas's objection to the use of mass teleportation.
The main reason that really makes Antonidas oppose mass teleportation is that mass teleportation requires the existence of evil energy.
Once countries realize that group teleportation is better, they will inevitably find ways to imitate it. Abusing arcane magic is already very dangerous. If evil energy is abused, the world will also be in crisis.
But at this moment, Antonidas himself began to doubt himself. Once his thoughts were opened, amplified self-doubt followed.
Could he really be a person who values self-interest? Antonidas, who fell into self-doubt, finally let out a long sigh.
'Fa'ao, my old friend. Although you have never allowed me to accept the Holy Light in my life, your noble character has deeply influenced me.
I have always had a clean conscience, but now there are gaps in my impeccability.
If I pay a heavy price in the present because I am too cautious about the future, the little 'cause' of Dalaran's selfish interests will torture me for the rest of my life.'
After a difficult inner struggle, Antonidas sighed.
"Using evil energy is a dangerous thing after all. It is a last resort to use evil energy under special circumstances. This kind of behavior should be under the supervision of the joint conference of all races."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Antonidas undoubtedly agreed.
Khadgar was relieved and said to Antonidas with a smile.
"Grand Magister, you made a right choice today. Please believe me, the bad things you imagined will never happen in the future."
After returning from Gorlongas, Khadgar often enters a strange state, which is an inexplicable feeling, but Khadgar is confident that he can see the future more clearly than Antonidas.
The reason why he cares so much about Antonidas's opinion is because setting up a group teleportation array is a very energy-consuming task, and Khadgar can never complete it alone.
He needs the mages of Dalaran to assist him in completing the magic circle and provide subsequent arcane energy.
…
The news that the joint conference of all ethnic groups would arrange a magic circle to send the rescue troops over was handed over through the portal after the meeting.
This made Li De feel very gratified. The kindness he had put in in the past few years was responded to at this moment. Afterwards, Li De wrote a letter to Khadgar and arranged for Nogfogg to send the letter to Ott.
Rank.
The headquarters for the fight against the elemental uprising was located on the mountain north of Gadgetzan, next to the First Prison.
The headquarters is located here not only for the safety of the headquarters, but also to make it easier to observe the situation.
After sending Noglfogg away, Lid returned to his seat. In front of him was a large map of Tanaris, with the coordinates of every element that would appear densely marked on the map.
Li De looked at the map and frowned. He was trying to find the pattern of the enemy's troop deployment: the type, quantity and time of the elements. The biggest problem of the Hanhai Protectorate now was that there were not enough troops. He had to find the pattern of the enemy's appearance, and then use
Allocate troops in the most reasonable way and avoid wasting personnel as much as possible.
"My dear, please take a rest first."
At this time, Shandis came in with a tray containing a bowl of soup and a piece of bread. During the war, everything was kept simple, but even so, Li De didn't eat for two days.
"How can I rest?"
Li De raised his head and said with a wry smile to Shandis. As he spoke, he looked at the battle traces on Yuyue's mail armor and still said it emotionally.
"Thank you for staying with me at this time."
During the crisis, Shandis persisted and chose to stay and fight for the Protector of the Vast Sea, which moved Li De beyond measure. Then Li De noticed that Shandis seemed to have something on her mind, and she hesitated to speak several times.
The confusion was reflected on his face.
"Dear, do you have anything to say?"
Shandis finally made up her mind.
"The thing we talked about last time should be postponed for a while longer... Three months will come soon, but in this situation, I will understand you."
Li De knew that she was referring to evil energy. He was happy to see Shandris's understanding, but he still shook his head.
"This matter is not just an agreement between the two of us, it also determines the fate of a race and the security of the whole world.
The situation is not so difficult that all the people are mobilized, and our army can still cope with it. I don't remember that I gave the order to suspend the government and research institutes."
Even Li De himself must abide by the discipline of the Protector of the Vast Sea, and he must strictly keep secrets even from Shandis. After informing some of the situation tactfully, Li De grabbed the bread, took a few bites, and poured out the cold soup.
After finishing the drink, he said with a smile.
"Okay, the break is over, we are going to hold a military meeting."
Shandis walked out doubtfully, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that under such circumstances, the Protector of the Vast Sea did not interrupt the research on evil energy?
Shandris, who is accustomed to the ancient war model, may not understand that war is often the time when technological theory advances the fastest.
After confirming that the evil energy was not harmful to Nogfogg himself, and returning to the Vast Sea Protector to preside over the situation, Li De also issued an order to the institute to officially launch the research on the evil energy.
In Alterac, Noggen Forge has experimented with almost all types of substances that can be seen in daily life. Now that the elemental riots are happening, experimental samples are simply delivered to your door.
Although it can't be said that a bad thing has turned into a good thing, something can really be gained during the research process, and it can be regarded as recovering a debt from the elements.
The data compiled by Nogfogg from Alterac, coupled with the data obtained from testing elements after returning, and theorizing by so many smart minds in the institute, the final results are gratifying.
And just now he sent Nogfogg to Alterac to deliver a message, which was sending a signal to Khadgar.
Living in the turbulence of time, Li De, who is driving a small boat, doesn't even know where he is going. The future is an adventure!
