"Let my daughter go! Hoofman! Last warning."
Besides Sunwell, General Alleria Windrunner looked indifferently at the dangerous man with blue leather hoofs in front of him. The Hunting Battle Halberd in the latter's hand had knocked over at least twenty Phoenix Guard in the short and fierce battle just now. The most terrible thing is that
"Mother, leave me alone! Kill her!"
Alleria Windrunner, who was captured by mistake, struggled in Neri's arms, but she was paralyzed by Red Maw's poison and couldn't exert any strength at all. She could only shout weakly:
"For the sake of Windrunner family's duty, shoot this arrow at me!"
"That's a terrible request, and of course your mother can't bear it, my dear."
Neri understood Thalassian. She endured the pain of her injured tail and dragged Alleria back while gesturing Rexxar and Tila Saran to approach the portal opened by Millhouse at the back.
God knows where that portal leads, but now is not the time to pick and choose.
These Quel'Thalas elves are really tough. They are blessed by four divine rings. Neri even used Argus Heart and they almost didn't rush out.
"I won't hurt her, elf!"
Neri shouted to General Lirath:
"Take care of my people, bring them to Dalaran, and we exchange hostages! I must tell you, this was an accident, and the reasons are complicated, but we have no malicious intentions. In fact, we come with good intentions. Please ask Master Arantien behind you specifically."
Then, under Lirath's cold, murderous eyes, Neri dragged Alleria and disappeared into the portal.
Ranger General sighed, put down the battle bow in his hand, and looked back at the captured Griselda Blackhand and Arantien who were forcibly sealed by the Spellbreakers.
At this moment, great doubts appeared in her mind.
The tough hoof man said that he was going to Dalaran to exchange hostages, but why did their portal end at Aerie Peak? From the scenery reflected by the portal, the waterfall of Seawatch Cliff can be clearly identified.
So, is this some strange conspiracy?
In addition
"As Phoenix Guard, you actually watched them escape through the portal?"
Ranger General turned around and glared at the big Lich who appeared in the teleportation light. She said coldly to Mr. Farodis:
"I have enough reason to suspect that you sent them away on purpose!"
"Not only that, the dwarf mage opened the portal in a panic and into the deadly trench a thousand meters below the sea. It was I who secretly helped him modify the space parameters, which allowed them to land in Wildhammer Dwarves's territory.
Do you really think any cat or dog can enter the Sunwell lobby without my permission?"
Mr. Farodis, who just returned to Quel'Thalas a few days ago, said with a smile:
"So, does the stern Ranger General need to imprison me for dereliction of duty?"
"You must have your own ideas when doing this. With my position, I am not qualified to comment on Phoenix Guard's plan. I just want you to confirm that you know what you are doing."
Lirath suppressed his anger and said:
"Just the fact that Sunwell was invaded is embarrassing enough. The accusations against you from the court will only come like a storm, although personally, in my opinion, this is absolute malfeasance!"
"You are wrong! If we don't let them go to Wildhammer Dwarves, Gryphon Rider won't be able to mobilize in time."
The smile on Farodis's face turned serious, and he said:
"If you don't let Archbishop Nali take away your daughter, you, Ranger General, will have no chance to escape from the increasingly dull party struggle in the court and lead a small but elite group of Farstriders rangers to support Stormwind.
This transmission was indeed an accident, but it opened up valuable possibilities.
Go to Dalaran as soon as possible to get your daughter back, but I have to add someone to your team."
"Who?"
"My granddaughter, who is also your sister-in-law, escort her to Stormwind to meet her fiancé. Just treat it as a private request from an old man like me, because your grandfather stole two "Raven Guard" hand crossbows from me back then and you thought I didn't know about it.
That is a rare legendary weapon.
Even the Sath'dorah War Bow in your hand was designed by me myself."
"That's enough! Phoenix Guard, you are too much."
"Huh? I have no problem with you calling me my job title in public, but what are you going to call me now in private?"
"Ah, damn, okay, Grandpa, please don't do this? No wonder those Silvermoon Councilors are targeting you everywhere. The political network you and your two daughters and five grandchildren have compiled has almost taken down half of Quel'Thalas's country.
I beg you, my ancestor, to restrain yourself."
"Where are we going now? After my little granddaughter marries Little Kael'thas, and my little fourth girl marries Lothar, then you, my granddaughter-in-law, and Stromgarde Kingdom's weak claims are also included.
Hum, Sun King and his Ranger General, the human emperor and his Stromgarde Grand Duke are all my grandchildren. At that time, I, the old Lich, was called "powerful".
I told Dath'Remar a long time ago that instead of working hard to expand the dynasty, it would be more practical to have more children.
This is the real strategy of immortality!
As long as I live, I can do whatever I want."
Old Lich, whose family was prosperous, stood above Sunwell with a proud look on his face. Then he saw General Lirath still standing beside him and scolded:
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get ready to go to Dalaran to rescue my well-behaved great-granddaughter? Also, don't let Alleria have too much contact with humans. I did a divination for her when she was born.
No!
Not only her, but my three great-granddaughters will be ruined at the hands of hateful humans for the rest of their lives!
Oh, this Diakum himself is very powerful, and his confidante is also very tough. Each of these Ancient Eredar is really amazing. If my granddaughter is not enough, I must find a way to marry him.
In this way, the bloodline of Nar'thalas can be spread among the stars of Argus."
"Traveler" Lelan is currently hiding in the crowd with a transformation spell.
This is the Arcane Magic she learned from the super powerful Lady Aegwynn a few days ago. It can hide her appearance and height that are different from humans. Today is the second day after she arrived in the Tirisfal area.
She originally planned to follow the Saint order relayed by Yrel to secretly search for the whereabouts of Ashbringer and Eredath, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't have to search at all!
The most popular news about this ghost place in recent times is about "Duke Mograine and his demagogic Demon Sword". Because this incident is scary enough and involves Lordaron Kingdom's top nobles, it is naturally viral. It has spread to the point where even beggars on the roadside will make critical comments about this incident when they are begging.
But when he heard this gossip, Lelan knew that something bad was going on. What Diakum Uncle was most worried about happened!
When Draenor, Vigilant strictly prohibited those Draenei Garrison Commander who admired him from touching his weapons privately. This is a kind of Proper protection, if you contact Ashbringer without the guidance of Holy Light, you will definitely be infected by Holy Light Doctrine left in it by Vigilant.
To the extent that Diakum Uncle is loved by Holy Light, there may not be more than ten believers in the entire human world who can withstand the refinement of Holy Light with their own spirits.
Human beings are a bit mediocre in all aspects, and their mental power is not at the same level as Draenei.
She hid in front of Duke Mograine's manor. A few days ago, it was said that Grand Duke was inspired by Holy Light and decided to transform his luxurious manor into a monastery for Holy Light Follower to find faith. Even the name was changed to "Ashbringer Monastery". This shows how deeply he was baptized by that holy blade.
The crowd outside the monastery did not just come to watch the excitement, there were indeed many devout believers who came to pay homage to the "holy relic".
For example, the young and handsome Priest who is chattering next to Lelan is preaching to others.
He seemed very popular, and he was preaching in a gentle voice:
"Don't listen to the so-called "Demon Sword deception", Holy Light believers, Archbishop Alonsus Faol personally came into contact with the sacred blade, Holy Light gave him enlightenment, it is the Saint sword from the sea of stars, from our fellow believers.
The light of the holy blade will protect every believer and punish every evil.
I heard that a demon hiding among us tried to steal it not long ago, but when the demon came within twelve feet of the holy blade, the ignited White Holy Flame burned it away, leaving only a sea of scorching ashes.
That was a miracle I saw with my own eyes!
It is precisely because of this that Duke Mograine firmly decided to form "Ashen Crusade". He saw with his own eyes that the devil is hiding among us, and at this dangerous moment, the holy blade fell from the sky!
Believers, this is really a warning given to us by Holy Light, letting us be wary of those dangerous darkness."
This little story made the surrounding believers more and more devout, and they began to recite Holy Song, and Lelan became more and more strange. After the young Priest finished speaking, she reached out to touch the other party's shoulder and asked in a low voice:
"Hello, I am a mage from the north of the mainland. My compatriot, can you describe in detail the miracle you saw that day? I mean, what does the demon you saw look like?"
Facing the inquiry from this "Northern Master", young Priest said seriously:
"It was a demon with huge wings and sharp claws. It had cow-like hooves and was covered in armor. At that time, it was hiding in the shadow of the famous "giant" Dathrohan Lordaeron. It planned to take the opportunity to desecrate the holy blade, but when brother Dathrohan approached the holy blade, the hot holy flame suddenly erupted.
That Holy Fire burned away the cunning demon, but brother Dathrohan was unscathed in it!
Obviously, this is proof that the holy blade protects good people, and brother Dathrohan also felt the call of Holy Light. He has decided to join Ashen Crusade and fight with Duke Mograine to eliminate those evil things."
"Hmm, it sounds like a Nathrezim. Secretly desecrating the Holy Blade and so on is indeed the style of a cunning demon, but is there already a Dreadlord lurking in Human King country?
The situation is really chaotic."
Lelan frowned upon hearing this.
She felt more and more that Eastern Continent was in a precarious situation, with Orcs invading the south and demons lurking in the north. The two major scourges joined forces to serve mankind. How small a blessing could this be?
"Are you here specifically about that demon? This does seem like Dalaran's style."
The name Priest said with a smile:
"I have heard that there is an organization specializing in tracking demons in Dalaran. Are you also a member of "Tirisgarde"? (Ps1)"
"No, I'm not, I'm Wild Mage."
Lelan didn't want to talk to this guy anymore, but he seemed to be very interested in her. He introduced himself:
"My name is Turalyon, I am Priest of Lordaeron City, and I am also a disciple of Archbishop Alonsus Faol. If you are interested in the Holy Blade, why not follow me to pay homage?"
"No, no, I still have something to do."
Lelan kept pushing away, she already felt something was wrong.
But the next second, Turalyon said in a gentle tone:
"That's not up to you, lady of mysterious origins."
"Huh?"
Lelan felt something bad, and was about to resist when she was held down by two Gleam's shining hands, one on the left and one on the right. In the echo of Holy Light Proverb, the Arcane Magic on her body was also dispelled, revealing Draenei's strange appearance.
Turalyon was also shocked.
He originally thought he had caught a "dark element" mixed in the crowd, but he did not expect that the true identity of this lady was really shocking.
"Lelan? Why are you here?"
A surprised voice then sounded, causing Lelan to turn around and see two hooded Holy Light warriors beside him, opening their faces, revealing that they were also Draenei.
"Aquinus! Davenius! It's you two! That's great."
Lelan saw the two Holy Light Chosen who were "implicated" by her and were randomly teleported to the Tirisfal area. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly:
"Where is Eredath? Is he with you? Vigilant told me he is here too."
"Eredath In the monastery, the three of us were lucky enough to land together. After we landed, we heard what happened here and hurried over, but we were still a step too late."
Holy Light Chosen Davenius sighed and said:
"Vigilant's fanatical morality on the sword has infected the local believers. Eredath is preaching for them, trying to use the balance of light and shadow to bring them back to a normal state. However, Eredath himself has limited understanding of "Path of Light and Shadow".
The current effect is not obvious.
But the good news is that we already know the news that Vigilant has arrived at Stormwind, and the local faith leader Archbishop Alonsus Faol will lead the elite Priest and this "Ashen Crusade" to Dalaran tomorrow, and go to Stormwind through the mages' portal.
We can go over together and meet up with Vigilant."
"We must deliver "Ashbringer" to Saint."
The taller Aquinus said in a deep voice:
"The Holy Blade can no longer be allowed to stay in the Tirisfal area. Overly fanatical beliefs are not a good thing for the current Northern Borderlands situation. The king of Lordaeron is still very sensitive to changes in people's beliefs.
In short, go and see Eredath first, he is also worried about you.
Turalyon Priest, you don't have to worry, this is our clansman, Ashbringer is the sword of her father's generation."
"Please forgive me for my previous offense, Ms. Lelan."
Turalyon sincerely apologizes and says:
"I'm a little too sensitive about that demon."
"It doesn't matter. You can't be too sensitive to demons."
Lelan waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing, but she said curiously:
"You've been here these past few days, have you touched the holy blade?"
"I have been in contact, but I did not choose to accept the call of the Holy Flame."
Turalyon marked Holy Crest on his chest and said:
"It is a sacred thing, but its power is too sharp and inconsistent with the Holy Light Doctrine I insist on. I firmly believe that Holy Light will give us different missions based on different personal perceptions."
"Yes, Turalyon Priest are the few local Priest who were not affected after coming into contact with the Holy Blade."
Davenius said with great admiration:
"This is enough to prove that he is the real Holy Light Walker, and that he has condensed his own will in the light."
"But this sword at your waist"
Lelan looked at the samurai half-sword worn by Turalyon outside the Priest robe in surprise, and she whispered:
"Priest is generally not worthy of a sword, right?"
"Uh."
Turalyon's smile suddenly became a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and whispered:
"It is impossible not to be affected at all after contacting the holy blade. And after seeing the real existence of the devil with my own eyes, I also feel that having a sword in my hand can make me safer when I am on tour Holy Light."
"I'll just say it."
Lelan laughed, followed the others into the monastery, and saw Duke Mograine leading more than a hundred strong men to practice swordsmanship in the large garden.
They uniformly use two-handed giant blades with the same style as Ashbringer, but the lack of Naaru crystal results in no brilliance on their swords. However, a few strong ones have gathered their Holy Light on the weapons, causing the grooves of the giant blades to also pulse with glow.
"Oh my god."
The traveler covered his eyes and she whispered:
"Isn't this the Garrison Commander swordsmanship improved by Diakum Uncle? They have even learned this?"
"Ah, look at me "Blade of Light"!"
A loud noise sounded not far away, and as Lelan watched in shock, a shirtless human warrior swung a giant blade and struck "Divine Storm".
But his Divine Storm is rather strange.
Vigilant and Hand of Argus Veterans' Divine Storm is Radiant Holy Sigil that converges into a geometric sharp Holy Light that spins into a hot energy storm, but the samurai in front of him spins with a giant blade, gathers his Holy Light on the weapon, and draws out a dazzling sword light.
Isn't this "Holy Light Edition·Big Windmill"?
Don't bully me. I have never seen Sword Saints using Bladestorm!
"That is "Herod", the most fanatical young knight under Duke Mograine, and the most fanatical punisher among Ashen Crusade."
Holy Light Chosen whispered:
"I don't know what kind of inheritance Vigilant left in his sword, but the few believers who first came into contact with the holy blade have now even mastered "Avenging Wrath".
They are not Garrison Commander.
But they call themselves "Paladin", probably because they were originally knights.
Look!
Alonsus Faol Archbishop and Eredath are here."
Lelan raised his head and saw Eredath, who was wearing a hood to cover his face, leaning on Blessing's staff, and Priest, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and holding a holy scripture in his hand, walking over.
But then, Lelan's expression became weird.
Because she could clearly see that the Priest crowned Alonsus Faol was wearing a half-hand sword on his waist while riding a horse! And judging from the way the middle-aged Priest held the sword, she knew that he must have been secretly practicing swordsmanship in private for several days.
What a sin.
"Pa"
Lelan covered his eyes in despair.
Diakum Uncle ah, look what you have done!
The good archbishop of mankind has been turned into a "sword-wielding Priest" by you. This is simply blasphemy!
And what is certain is that the first batch of human Paladin are so fanatical. Their future development as Church of the Holy Light will definitely become more and more "full of martial virtue". If they encounter some "adventures" or something in the future, a batch of human versions of "Hand of Argus" will be just around the corner!
"Ahem"
Holy Light Chosen Aquinus coughed and reminded in a low voice:
"Don't just look at Archbishop Faol's sword, it's all a small problem! Look at his forehead, look carefully!"
"Huh?"
Lelan opened her eyes wide. When the other party approached, she clearly saw the faint Spiritual Light like light seal on Fao's forehead, which shocked the traveler.
She whispered:
"Why does this even have the inheritance of "Light Archon"? Diakum Uncle! Please stop carving all the messy things into your sword! If this continues, won't it become a hodgepodge of Holy Light?"
"Ah sneeze!"
Diakum suddenly sneezed. In his human form, he rubbed his nose and complained that this must be the Greater Demons in Twisting Nether talking about him again.
Then, he smiled and said gently to the little prince who was "blocking the road" in front of him:
"You just said, what do you want to learn from me?"
"When I grow up, I want to be as powerful as you Warrior!"
Varian Wrynn clenched his fists and said loudly:
"I heard your story from Khadgar, and I want to become a human "Vigilant"! Save this world and defeat the devil!"
"Well, I believe your oath, kid."
Diakum looked at him and said softly:
"The world will definitely remember your bravery in the future, beloved High King. But I will not interfere with your destiny, you have to hold it yourself."
He took out the black and simple Flame Blade, held it in his hand, and said to Varian, whose eyes were shining:
"Do you want to touch this sword? This is a weapon that only the most powerful Sword Saint in the Draenor world is qualified to hold. Come and try it and see what you, little Warrior, can learn from it."
Ps1:
"Tirisgarde" and "Council of Tirisfal" are two different organizations.
The former is a team of battle mages formed by Kirin Tor specifically to hunt down various dangerous creatures that appeared due to magic experiments. The latter is an organization that once established the position of "Guardians of Tirisfal". This organization is strongly bound to Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.
Aegwynn's husband, Nielas Aran, is an elite member of Tirisgarde. He has been hunting Aegwynn for many years. The two of them have solved many dangerous problems together, and finally came together under this relationship of being both enemies and friends.
Therefore, the two of them really have feelings for each other, but the "drugged" setting in the ancient version was a bit too astringent.
