Although Aaron and the others were already very fast, when they followed the traces left by Undead and rushed to the seaside, they could only see that Scourge's warship had left the coast and sailed into the vast ocean, and it was difficult to find any trace.
However, the evacuation of Scourge was still very embarrassing. Most of the Undead who escaped the collective bombing of the dragons were left among Eversong Woods. It is estimated that only Aaron A small number of demons and high-level Undead were able to escape. They were not even able to drive away all the ships. At least half of the ships were left on the coastline from Windrunner Village to Sunsail Anchorage.
The reinforcements that came all the way from Lordaeron finally faced such an embarrassing situation. The main force of Undead had been eliminated, and all that was left was a group of enemies scattered throughout the forest.
For the reinforcements, which are mainly humans and dwarves, this environment is not suitable for them to fight. However, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of traveling thousands of miles without being able to fight the enemy, the reinforcements still bite the bullet and break up into small teams to clean up Undead in Eversong Woods for several days, although there is no guarantee that they can clean up all of them. Undead has at least reduced the number of enemies to a safe level. The remaining Undead and demons are no longer enough to pose any threat to the various settlements of High Elf, provided that the High Elfs are still willing to return to these settlements.
The situation in other villages and towns Aaron is not very clear. At least Windrunner Village has been completely turned into ruins. Although the Undead wandering here has been cleaned up, the power of death that penetrated into the ground cannot be dissipated in a day or two. Plus the time it takes to rebuild the village, Aaron estimates that Windrunner Village will not be able to change back to its original appearance within half a year.
Sylvanas, who returned to Windrunner Village at the same time as Aaron, probably had the same opinion. Aaron noticed that the Ranger General's face had always been very ugly, especially after walking around outside Windrunner Village, his face was so gloomy that it even vaguely reminded Aaron of Banshee Queen in the game.
Aaron once tentatively asked Sylvanas why her mood was so bad, but she only got Sylvanas's gloomy eyes and a warning. "Don't talk to Vereesa about... that Banshee thing."
Although it was a bit baffling, Aaron still agreed. I guess Sylvanas had her own reasons for doing this, and it didn't look like she was being raped by some Banshee The appearance of being possessed by - Aaron tested it with Truthguard. In this case, there is nothing wrong with agreeing to her request. Maybe one day Sylvanas will be willing to explain it.
For High Elf, the Undead wandering in Eversong Woods and the several settlements where demons have been destroyed by Scourge are nothing more than minor troubles. After all, Silvermoon City is home to about 80% of High Elf, and Eversong Woods is not that important to them.
What happened to Sunwell was enough to shake the entire High Elf community. Not long after the war ended, some Silvermoon City members had begun to express their dissatisfaction. Fortunately, with the help of With the reputation Sunstrider family has accumulated over thousands of years, Kael'thas has suppressed this voice. However, if Sunwell is unable to recover, someone may take the opportunity to cause trouble and shake Sunstrider's dominance.
When Kael'thas and Aaron talked about these things, their expressions were very low and hesitant. They were no longer the high-spirited princes they had been before. Although Aaron was worried, he didn't know how to persuade him. It could be seen that Kael'thas fully understood his father's choice, but still couldn't cheer up.
"Actually, Sunwell has a way to repair it, although it's a bit troublesome..." Aaron thought for a while and said to Kael'thas. Although he didn't quite understand the operating principle of Sunwell, he couldn't stand it. He was a "prophet". The current situation was the same as in "official history" How similar is the flower monk in Sunwell who chose to self-destruct in order to prevent Kil'jaeden from coming to Azeroth? However, in the "official history", it was the self-sacrifice of a Naaru that allowed Sunwell to recover, but where can we catch a Naaru now?
"Can it be repaired? But if it is repaired now, the devil will come again, right?" Kael'thas's eyes lit up and then dimmed again. He took a long sigh and said to Aaron, "Aaron, please leave me alone."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." Aaron nodded, parted ways with Kael'thas, and walked alone to where Sunwell was originally. He wanted to see the current situation of Sunwell.
The original Sunwell Plateau had been flattened a lot by the earth-shattering explosion, and most of the surrounding buildings had collapsed, allowing Aaron to reach the original location of Sunwell, Shrine of the Eclipse, without any hindrance.
There is still a spring of water where Sunwell was originally located. On the surface, this fountain is still gushing out, but the Arcane energy originally contained in it has disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Xal'atath's voice suddenly sounded in Aaron's heart, "Aaron, don't move."
"What?" Aaron didn't react, and saw Xal'atath flying out. He reached out and grabbed it in the air, and gathered several golden translucent fragments together. In the blink of an eye, they gathered into the shape of High Elf. Aaron lost his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Anasterian?"
"It's me, I'm..." It was Anasterian who appeared in front of Aaron in a soul state, but Sun King's situation was very bad, and his soul was in pieces. His appearance was a bit worse than the Tyr Aaron saw in Halls of Valor. If Xal'atath hadn't been helping to maintain it, I'm afraid he would have dissipated immediately.
Seeing Anasterian reappear, Aaron hurriedly told him what happened to Kael'thas. Unexpectedly, Anasterian showed a happy expression on his face. "This child has finally started to grow up. The situation was similar when I took over the throne from my father. Don't worry, Sunstrider's descendants can definitely cheer up."
Aaron's original intention was that Anasterian would comfort Kael'thas, but looking at this, Sun King felt that his son needed to think for himself OK, it seems like this is Sunstrider's family tradition. Aaron didn't have much to say, but Xal'atath invited him to Halls of Valor.
"Does becoming a heroic spirit lead to immortality?" Anasterian's soul thought for a moment, then slowly but firmly shook his head. "I have lived for three thousand years, and I have lived enough."
"Okay," Xal'atath seemed to say casually. When Anasterian refused, he returned directly to Aaron's mind. After losing her power, Anasterian's soul quickly dissipated.
Anasterian realized that he was about to disappear, and that he might not have a chance to survive this time, but his face still had a calm expression, as if he didn't care about his impending death at all.
"Aaron, I remember you... Father?!" However, at the moment when Anasterian was about to completely disappear, Kael'thas's voice suddenly sounded behind Aaron, and it stopped unexpectedly.
