"Archer?"
Vereesa was already a little sleepy by this time, but after hearing this conversation, he immediately became energetic. He pressed the long bow on his back and was about to walk over to see the situation, but was stopped by Aaron who was standing aside. "Don't worry, let's see the situation."
"What are you looking at?" Vereesa yawned. Although the rangers have also been trained for the situation of being unable to sleep for several days in a row, Vereesa, as High Elf, still suffers from physical decline at night like humans. It can only be overcome by willpower.
"I'm an adult, and there aren't too many archers, right? Aren't there a lot of demons that can fly?" The Night Elf girl, who looked a little thin, said seriously to the soldier in front of her who was responsible for selecting those who would join the castle garrison.
Hearing this, the soldier put away his slightly joking expression, looked at her seriously, and said, "Okay, we will treat you as an adult, but I still can't let you go up the city wall. Look at your arms. Maybe your archery is very accurate, but your lack of strength will limit your range, so..."
The soldier spread his hands regretfully, indicating that there was no need to discuss the matter.
"Huh!" The girl walked aside angrily, without further delaying the others to accept inquiries to determine what work they should do next.
Aaron and Vereesa, who were watching the whole process, looked at each other. Vereesa took the initiative to go over and communicate with the girl, while Aaron looked at the girl from the side. He always felt that the girl looked familiar, but he could not match up with any Night Elf he knew.
Until Vereesa came over with a strange expression on his face, Aaron didn't remember where he had seen this person.
Vereesa first introduced Aaron to the little girl, "Aaron, one of the advisors of Lord Ravencrest, he may be able to help you."
Then Vereesa coughed lightly and said to Aaron, "Let me introduce you, this is Miss Feathermoon."
"Feathermoon?" Aaron was startled for a moment and exclaimed, "Are you Shandris?"
"Yes, it's me." The slightly immature Shandris shrank back in fear, seemingly frightened by Aaron.
Aaron didn't notice this at all. He just understood the source of the inexplicable familiarity before. As for why he couldn't correspond, Aaron looked at Shandris. You can tell from the clean face. The war lines on Shandris's face after ten thousand years have almost covered the entire face. Coupled with the traces left by these ten thousand years, Aaron would be damned if he could really recognize it.
From Shandris's point of view, Aaron looked like a legendary weird uncle at this moment, especially the inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, which made Shandris extremely uncomfortable. However, her inner desire defeated her fear, and she had the courage to speak, "Can you help me join the troops defending the city? My archery skills are very strong."
Under Vereesa's "gentle" reminder, Aaron came to his senses, and while rubbing the back of his pinched blue hand, he thought about whether Shandris's request was possible.
The result of thinking is... it can't be done. Although Aaron holds the position of consultant, there are not hundreds but dozens of consultants serving Ravencrest Family in Black Rook Hold. When it comes to power, Aaron really has no power. If you want to stuff Shandris into the city wall, Aaron can't do it.
Although if Aaron takes the initiative to talk to Kur'talos about this, the other party will probably agree, but Chromie will definitely jump out to stop it. If Shandris is really allowed to go to the city wall, then her ending will probably be the same as that of most of the soldiers stationed at Black Rook Hold. This would distort history too much.
But when I thought of Chromie and Aaron, I had another idea. If we don't change history, let's just obey history and introduce Shandris directly to Tyrande. In this way, slightly changing the time when the two met is insignificant to the long history of 10,000 years.
But before Aaron could open his mouth to "trick" Shandris into getting to know Tyrande in advance, he heard a sharp explosion in the air. He looked up and saw a bunch of purple light exploding in mid-air, turning into meteors and scattering around. For a moment, it even covered the bright moon in the sky, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
"Signal? Who is it for?" Aaron saw the spell that was obviously a signal bursting out in the air. What he was thinking was: Could this be something that the guys from the command center discussed after he left? Has it been used so soon?
However, the soldiers and Arcanists around him also looked confused. Like him, they had no idea what this meant. Some even speculated that some boring mage was wasting his magic power and setting off fireworks.
Until a short scream came from the crowd, no one had reacted. Only Aaron saw a soldier falling to the ground with his eyes open. There was a deep wound on his neck, and behind him was a sneaky Night Elf who wanted to hide in the shadows.
What's worse is that there was more than one scream. Ever since the signal appeared, there have been several screams in succession. These Night Elf assassins who came from nowhere acted very quickly and hid very quickly. There were basically no traces of being caught, leaving only lifeless corpses.
"There is an assassin, everyone, be careful!" No matter how slow their reaction was, others realized what was happening. Both the Night Elf civilians and soldiers were a little panicked. Some of them shouted loudly, while the rest subconsciously wanted to escape from here.
When Aaron saw this, he no longer cared about whether he had relevant powers as a consultant, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, please don't move, don't give the assassin a chance to escape, soldiers pay attention to maintaining order, mages pay attention to the surroundings, be careful at this moment Stealth."
Due to his experience in battles, Aaron had a vague power that made people want to obey when he shouted. He himself was not conscious of this. He only felt that the soldiers were probably frightened by the sudden appearance, so they subconsciously followed his command.
For the current messy situation, it is a good thing that the soldiers are willing to follow Aaron's command. If the assassins cannot maintain order immediately after they appear, it will be easy for the assassins to hide again and cause greater damage.
After the Night Elfs calmed down a little and could hear what Aaron was saying, he began to organize everyone to find the assassin. Aaron actually didn't have much experience in this kind of thing. He used to rely on Truthguard to find him, but now he had to use more troublesome methods.
