It was late at night, but Antonidas had not rested yet, but chatted with Belovar until late at night.
"I am a mediator on your side, helping you solve problems. If you can't be honest with me, then there is really no way for the negotiation to proceed."
Belovar kept apologizing and expressing his apologies. As one of the few understanding people among the high elves, he knew very well what weight Antonidas, who was also a great wizard, had in his words.
Just as the two were talking, an elf ranger walked in and whispered in Belovar's ear.
Antonidas noticed that Belovar's expression changed, and then looked towards him again.
The Archmage thought that the other party had something important to deal with, but it was difficult for him to say it openly since he was present.
"How about I avoid it first? Of course, if it's something related to negotiation, I still suggest you have a chat with me."
Antonidas said this, and at the same time he stood up and wanted to leave, but Belovar stopped him.
"If you stay, I really need to let you know about this... Don't mention any more negotiations. The truce is over and we and the trolls are going to start fighting again."
"how so?!"
Antonidas couldn't believe it. Belovar had always been a rationalist. How come his attitude changed 180 degrees after listening to a few words from his subordinates?
Beloir sighed.
"It's not that I want to fight. I just received a report that Ragthel Sunwatcher, a member of the delegation, was killed. The murderer was Lord Lal of Zandalari."
"What?!"
Even if he still didn't believe it, he wouldn't know what to say when Antonidas and Belovar arrived at the scene and saw the head on Lar's bed.
The son of a high-ranking member of the Silvermoon Council died at the hands of a high-ranking member of the Zandalari. If this matter is not handled properly, it can almost be tantamount to Zandalari declaring war on Silvermoon City. There is still a trace of Zandalari.
The wary high elves now completely released their hostility.
A group of high elves surrounded Lal and were in a confrontation, but Lal was unable to argue. Talanji protected Lal with half of his body, and while defending Lal, he did not forget to ask Lal what was going on.
But the high elves didn't believe Lal's explanation at all. If Lal really chased people out of Taquelin, how could the alert sentry not notice two people who ran out in succession?
This made Lal feel bitter about it. How should he explain the magic of Loa's power? As a Loa priest lord, Lal respected Loa the most. He couldn't say it anyway: he was suspected of using Loa's power.
The forest troll is a suspect in the eyes of the high elves.
In an instant, the atmosphere became tense, and even Talanji was under suspicion. Zandalari's entourage all showed their weapons. If they really took action, they would defend the safety of the princess to the death.
"Get ready to fight, Zandalari is our ally. If the talks really break down, we can only break through if we unite with each other."
Brad quietly approached Niebuhr and whispered softly. Niebuhr was still looking ahead and gently stroking the steel spear with his hand.
"I know very well that these elves have no intention of letting us go."
Niebuhr and the others were apparently members of the Zandalari troops. With the current tense situation, they were naturally targeted by the high elves.
"It's difficult to handle. We have too few people. Now we just hope that those explosion experts will be more reliable."
Brad sighed and said that before entering the Eversong Forest, they had divided their forces in the East Wilder area. They selected a dozen trolls with the strongest survival ability in the wild and thirty goblin engineers.
There is also Samuelson, lurking in the mountains.
While Han Haijun was worried, a loud shout attracted everyone's attention.
"This must be Zuljin, it must be his fault!"
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Lal finally could no longer tolerate it. It was inevitable that negotiations could not continue in the current situation, and he could not just stand up for Zuljin.
Ral yelled at the top of his lungs, and people noticed that Zuljin was not present!
"Where did Zul'jin go? Aren't there people watching him all the time?"
Belovar also realized that something was wrong. During the negotiations, although Zulkin was not immediately designated as a prisoner, and there were no guards to directly monitor his daily life, there were always people watching him secretly to prevent him from escaping.
But now that such a big thing has happened, why didn't anyone notify Zul'jin? The people monitoring Zul'jin didn't come to report his movements?
Just when everyone came to their senses and no one had seen Zuljin tonight, the entire Taquilin suddenly sounded a piercing alarm!
"The great wizard, Zul'jin killed the guards and led his troops out of Taquilin!"
An elf ranger covered in blood came to report. Belovar slapped his forehead and stamped his feet fiercely.
Although he agreed to the negotiation, Zul'jin did not give up the command of the troops. At the same time, in order to check the high elves, in addition to the main confrontation with Malacath on the front line, the two thousand troops left in Sebunuwa were also used by Zul'jin.
Erjin was brought to Tarquelin, but he was always stationed under the surveillance of the high elves.
If Ragthel's head hadn't focused most people's attention here, Zul'jin would never have had the chance to organize an army to fight out of Taquilin.
Now realizing that this was probably Zul'jin's trick, Belovar immediately led people to chase in the direction of Zul'jin's riot. Talanji and Ral were also unwilling to follow, and they also wanted to ask Zul'jin.
What on earth is Jin going to do?
However, before everyone chased them out for long, they saw the corpses of many high elves along the way, and Beloir's expression became more and more serious.
Then they encountered a confused ranger team. At the front were two rangers carrying a stretcher with the unconscious Halduron lying on it.
"How is this going?!"
Beloir asked eagerly.
"General Halduron has always suspected that Zuljin has evil intentions. Just now Zuljin led his troops in a riot. Although the general was outnumbered, he still went to fight Zuljin, and was seriously injured by Zuljin and fell into a coma."
The ranger who was asked answered with a tearful voice. Now Beloir could not bear it any longer. The great wizard could not control the large army behind him. A blazing magical light burst out from his body, and he disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
.
"I'll rush over first! You hold the troops steady!"
Antonidas also eagerly confessed to Ansrem, followed Beloir's footsteps, and also flashed to catch up.
"Princess, I leave this to you. I want to catch Zuljin and ask him! Why did you frame me!"
Lal also said the same thing, and several high elves around him immediately said that they would not allow him to act rashly.
"Get out of my way!"
Why did Lal care about them at this time? A pair of huge leather-winged shadows suddenly appeared behind him, and violent power erupted from his body, pushing the high elves several somersaults, and then moved in the direction of the two great wizards.
Soar away!
The other high elves present were a little dumbfounded. They had fought with Amani for so many years, and they had never seen Amani use the power of Loa, but what Lal showed completely refreshed their understanding.
Talanji knew that Ral was really angry. In this unclear situation, Talanji, Ansrem, and Lor'themar could only put everything aside for the time being and follow with a large force.
However, when everyone chased them to the outskirts of Taquilin, they found that Zulkin had already led his troops out of the cordon and was heading south towards Sebunuwa.
Zuljin, who was riding on the giant bear, looked at the people behind him, waved goodbye proudly, and at the same time ordered his men to shout in unison.
"Recast the glory of the trolls, Zandalar will last forever!"
…
This voice could not be heard clearly even though it was transmitted several miles away, but who among the people present does not have unusual senses? After figuring out what Zuljin's troops were shouting, Lal and Tallan, who were chasing after him,
Ji's face looked extremely ugly.
Belovar, who was a little tired after the flashes, was even more angry. Three flaming magic orbs appeared out of thin air on his head, and violent energy gathered in the hands of the great wizard.
Almost several "pillars of fire" rushed out from Belovar's hands. This magic was so powerful that it actually traveled several miles and burned to the end of Zuljin's army, taking away the lives of dozens of Amani trolls.
.
But that's all. With such a long distance, even the great magician can't do much without the help of the magic network. Sebunuwa has always been under the control of Amani, and has not passed there.
Carded magic web.
"This bastard! What on earth is he going to do?!"
Lal wanted to curse him, but Beloir's expression at this moment was quite amusing.
"Mr. Lord, what did Zuljin and the others mean by the last words they shouted?"
Ral has always had a good temper, but now his mood seems very unstable. Talanji quickly took over and explained.
"Your Excellency Belovar, can't you see? Zuljin is obviously trying to sow discord between us."
Beloir nodded.
"I hope this is just the case. The suspicion of Lord Lal's murder has not been cleared yet. I'm sorry, I'm just doing business. Before finding out the truth, I hope you can cooperate. Your actions need to be restricted."
Belovar tried his best to speak tactfully, but both Talanji and Ral knew that the other party wanted to put them under house arrest!
The two of them were not incapable of escaping, but after they left, other people accompanying them would be in danger. And they were innocent, so why did they escape?
Just looking at the mess in front of them, the two of them looked at each other, but they were thinking about the same thing.
"This deceptive mediation work is too difficult to handle. This guy Li De has drawn a big pie in vain, but it has put them in an embarrassing situation. Now that they are in this situation, the troops of the Hanhai Protector are also thrown here. Just look at
How are we going to deal with this guy?"
Not only Talanji and Lal, but Brad and Niebuhr are also calling for their lords. Because of his status as a human race, Brad has been staying with Antonidas and can guarantee his personal freedom, but Niebuhr and the others have not.
They were all confined to the camp.
And where is Li De, who everyone is calling for now? He, Lothar, Turalyon and others are in the black swamp at the southernmost tip of the kingdom's continent. Standing in front of them is the "Dark Door" that opened everything.
