Continue the journey (below)
A kind of hope, perhaps only in this way can we help us get out of here. I thought so, and then I returned to the tent to discuss the future arrangements and arrangements with the generals left behind.
Although I only left less than 20% of the troops, the faces were still there, and Sylvanas was still here. Yes, she would not leave the team because of personal conflicts with me. After all, in such a dangerous place, only unity is the way out.
Only unity is the way out... But the current environment is not consistent with that. During the discussion, I and the vast majority of participants had serious differences in decision-making. Their meaning was very clear. The purpose of our troops here was to hold the demons and attract the attention of the enemy to delay time. Then, after destroying Gilness with Kultilas, they were attacking the demons' lair north with reinforcements. But my opinion was completely to the left, that was...
"I must find the main force of the demon to fight him!" I sternly expressed my own opinions, but even so, they still firmly insisted on their opinions and confronted me one after another.
"Do you think we can still defeat those demons? Your Highness."
"I don't want to defeat them. Why do we stay here and escape war?" I refuted again, but was met with more opposition.
"Your Highness think about it. If we had captured the bunker in the north last time, only these people, could we defeat the enemy?"
"There are at least seven enemies showing such strongholds on the map. How could we defeat such a number of enemies?"
"And there are almost no mages in our team, and we can't deal with the creatures of the crypt demons at all."
.....
Watching them all raise objections to me, the heavier my head is. Yes, what they say is not without reason, but there is no meaning to stay here. I must defeat the enemy here no matter what. Because only in this way can I truly attract the attention of the demons and reduce the pressure on the main city.
I couldn't help but look at my partner. Yes, no one spoke for me. It was obvious that they seemed to have the same view as these Stasom officers in their hearts, and Sylvanas, a radical, did not express any objection. I believe that she really regarded herself as an outsider at this time, or she liked to watch my good show.
In short, this time I might have to rely entirely on myself to debate with those guys. So I lowered my anger and discussed it with them, but I didn't expect that I would get a more extreme answer...
"What you mean is to stay here and wait for the enemy's attack?"
"Or we can, retreat to the port..."
"Are you guys the turtle shrunk?!" Before the general finished speaking, the roar in my heart suddenly broke through my control and directly lifted the conference table. Yes. I really didn't expect these guys to be more cowardly than I thought, and they actually thought about their own way out! There was no intention of fighting against the enemy at all.
Seeing me like this, Jaina came over to comfort me. After calming down a little, I realized my impulse just now, but what can I do? The problem has not been solved. Looking at everyone's discomfort and shock, I really don't know how to make everyone follow my arrangements unless I use coercive means... But if I deviate from their will and force everyone to go to the front line, how can I defeat the enemy that is already very difficult for us, such as our army.
Or I should leave those who want to attack in the morning instead of these guys. But now that I can only change my way of compromise.
"Take the baggage left behind and camp in the fortress in the north. If anyone is unwilling to capture the demon's position, he can stay there as a response. If he is willing, continue to follow me in the northern expedition." I left these few words and left here alone to pack up my luggage. Everyone hesitated for a while, and finally obeyed my orders to go north to the fortress...
On the way, I was really a little disappointed. Maybe I should have thought of this result long ago. After all, no one wants to see these damn creatures and the extreme weather here, especially in their hometown, I have seen the threats of that creature to us...
Regarding our threat? I think about this conclusion now, and it really feels a bit untrue. The reason is that the undead has just started. In addition to the main city of Stasom, there are also the Fireplace Valley and some major granaries. Other Stasom jurisdictions probably understand those creatures only in the rumors of citizens fleeing from the main city of Stasom, and other provinces may not even have the shadow of the undead. So these guys are so unworking, maybe I ignore that they actually did not realize the real threat of that kind of creature.
"Damn!" I scolded myself again, but now that I have come to this point, I have no choice but to bring some volunteers to attack there, but if the army is only a small part, I don't know what power I have to defeat Melganier unless...
"Alsace, if we can find that legendary weapon, maybe..." Perhaps Muladin saw my helplessness and suggested to me that I felt even more impatient in my heart.
"Don't talk about this to me..." I scolded my teacher, and this anger surprised my friends around me. Unknowingly, they thought I took my anger at his irrationality.
Yes, I was very irrational. When I realized that I was popular with my teacher, I suddenly regretted it. But after all, the reason I did this was because of my subconscious desire for that sword.
"Sorry, I've lost my composure."
With everyone's strange eyes, I raised the "invincible" forward this time. Maybe I'm more quiet at this time... Maybe
I walked quietly along the way. At night, we finally arrived at the destination. After searching for the fortress that had been captured, the soldiers relocated the facilities. In fact, during this period, I wanted to hold a mobilization meeting, but in the end I didn't say anything. I just explained the arrangements of each camp. It was only after the final question from Manaco that I was "forced" to make military arrangements.
"Your Highness, about the Northern Expedition you mentioned..."
"Volunteers gather at the north gate tomorrow morning..." After saying that, I left the conference hall and lonelyly searched for a quiet place.
Yes, looking at such a situation and decline, the more I felt it was a bit in vain. Perhaps this was the result that the devil wanted, but even if I knew that this was his plan, I could not adjust myself at all. In this regard, I seemed to feel that I was getting closer and closer to that kind of fate...
I sighed and couldn't help but think about what I was like at that time. I don't know if I could still stick to my consciousness after becoming that kind of creature, and if I can't, or if the demon reshaped me into that kind of character, then what should I do? Follow the bloody understanding at that time, or continue to explain the meaning of human nature. I think I will choose the latter at this time no matter what. After all, I am still a human being and a silver hand, and I must stand from the perspective of my own people.
So I made the worst plan because I knew that maybe some things could be avoided, such as writing down some possible things and asking some survivors after this war to find ways to bring it back to Ronin and prepare him. So I returned to the room and took out paper and pen from my backpack and wrote some knowledge about the future under the vague kerosene lamp.
There are no too many greetings in the letter, but they only include some future problems. For example, if you see me appearing in front of my father with a sword, you will knock me down regardless of the situation. I believe that if you have seen some future situations, you should understand the meaning of me. Secondly, there are some advices about Medivh. If that guy still wants us to go to Kalimdou in the west, he will follow the advice of the crow; and when he meets some local residents in Kalimdou, such as seeing another elves with a violet skin color similar to the elf or a guy with a bullhead, try to find a way to get along with them peacefully and not have any conflicts...
Actually, I still want to continue writing about the future, but at this time a familiar figure appeared and was about to approach me, so I quickly put it away, but this was in vain. Before I could hide it, she had already seen what I just acted.
"Alsace, what are you writing?"
"A letter..." I answered Jaina's question with a sigh. I looked at her curious gaze, obviously wanting to know what's in it, but if she knew about these things, maybe I would have to explain something I didn't want to talk about, so I changed my words, "A suicide note."
But after I finished speaking like this, I immediately realized that this statement made me even more embarrassed. However, Jaina didn't seem surprised. This made me a little strange, or she also had some empathy and a sense of understanding...
"I want to leave it to Luo Ning..." When I asked her this, I nodded unconsciously and admitted it, but she seemed not only to know this. At this moment, I suddenly remembered that the last few words that Luo Ning told me were tricky.
"What are you all talking about."
Jaina and I asked each other at the same time, which made the scene feel awkward at first. Then we laughed unconsciously, but compared to her, mine was more of a bitter smile, but it really adjusted the current atmosphere.
"I think it seemed like a long time ago when I laughed last time."
"That was just the night before yesterday. You were the same as you are now..."
"The night before yesterday?" I suddenly realized the time she was talking about. It was the smile I smiled when I saw Medivh first after seeing Medivh, and she knew that this obviously also represented another possibility. "Are you peeking next to me?"
"Yes, I'm nearby. From the time you first met the mage, and after you finally had a fight with Sylvanas and left, I was there until you left, and I didn't show up to comfort her, and then Nathanos came over..."
"Gianna..." I had nothing to say in the face of her admission, and at this time I thought she would ask me about a lot of things, but in fact it was not. She just calmed down to me about something that shocked me.
"Do you know? Actually, Luo Ning's last words were lying to you. I know you won't let me stay here, so I asked him to give you a warning by placing the Dragon of Time."
"Impossible, he always presses his nose when he lies!"
"I warned him to pay attention to this detail..."
"Gianna, you!" Hearing this, my eyes suddenly turned black and I wanted to scold her, but when I looked at her resolutely, I felt that nothing seemed meaningless. It would be better to confess everything to her completely. She no longer cared about anything this time, but just told me this request with concern...
"Okay, I think you know something!"
"Arsace, I think no matter what I gave birth to, can we face it together?"
"But you can't be in danger, because you have to take on greater responsibilities in the future."
"Maybe, but maybe others will do better than me, but I will regret it for life if I give up on me, Alsace, we have agreed to be together before."
Looking at her affectionate look for me, I know that her heart is now, and now I think that I have failed her too much, but since she is determined to face any difficulties with me like this, I will never reject her feelings. As for the impact on this world, it may have nothing to do with me at that time.
"Gianna, then let me be selfish once... never separate"
I said this, and then I hugged her tightly, and she closed her eyes at this moment and enjoyed the warmth of each other. It was not until a long time before we let go. At this moment, we were already much better than before. At least we could smile knowingly. Yes, if some things are destined to be unavoidable, it would be a kind of happiness to be able to witness them together. Since that is the case, there is really nothing to hide from her with myself. I believe she is part of my absolute trust...
"Do you want to see my last words?"
I took out the thing I just wrote and asked her, but she thought about it and finally shook her head.
"I think you'd better leave it to him. I'll teleport you to their place. I believe they should have arrived at the port."
"Okay, then let's say goodbye to old friends, too."
"kindness…"
With a spell, we arrived at a huge reef in the sea not far from the port and watched them carry their last cargo onto the ship. Looking at the vague crowd, I now realized that I was indeed very coincidental because in a while, they were likely to leave.
Since they were about to leave, I naturally had to find Luo Ning quickly, but it was wrong when I stepped, because it was an island on the sea and I couldn't get close to the ships on foot. However, Jaina seemed to have done this on purpose. Yes, she knew that Luo Ning should be able to sense the existence of her spells. The location was chosen in this place, which may have caused criticism to prevent others from seeing us.
"Arsace, I knew you would come to say goodbye to us." As soon as I realized this, Ronin and Wenleza flashed to us, and seemed to have known about our presence for a long time, but compared to them, I was indeed a little unprepared.
"Goodbye? Yes, I'm here to say goodbye to you, and I've left you a letter."
As I said this, I handed him the roll of paper, and he was curious and wanted to open it immediately...
"Arsace, you're still here."
"stop!"
Seeing this behavior, I roared unconsciously, obviously scaring him and surprised him.
"Yeah? Didn't it give it to me?"
Luo Ning asked, but I could only answer slightly awkwardly.
"No, I mean when you defeat Gilness..." I felt that the mage, who was naturally curious, would definitely not obey my arrangements, so I shook my head and murmured, "At least, when we leave."
"Okay..." Luo Ning nodded as if he had realized something, but his casual look still made me feel that my plan might be disappointed. I need him to pay attention to this matter.
"Anyway, please believe what's inside!"
"Yes, I will." Luo Ning looked at my face and said firmly. I felt that I had nothing to say about it. Besides Wen Leisa, she was also a little reluctant to speak, which made me realize something.
"Wenlesa, I promise I will let your sister come back safely...I swear." I said firmly, and Wenlesa was still like that. I could only shake my head. "Maybe I can only guarantee this. As for those feelings, I can only say that I will not give up, but..."
"I don't mean to force you..." Wenresa murmured, then turned a smile. Although it was obvious that it seemed to be a compulsive smile, the motivation was still from her heart... "Althuss, you have to believe in yourself."
"Well..." I nodded to her. Apart from this, I seemed to be unable to say anything else. And at this moment, the whistle of the flagship sounded, which also meant that the fleet was about to ship.
"I think we should leave."
"Good luck to you." I said goodbye to them, but before I could finish, they disappeared, leaving only Jaina, who was close to me, on the reefs that were constantly hit by the waves, watching their warships sailing home one by one, until the last ship disappeared beyond the sky with the bright moon... At this moment, I couldn't help but whisper the monologues of the Overture of the Undead.
"When the last ship disappeared from the distant horizon, I stared at the rocks and let my thoughts slowly spread like smoke and weave them into my...Dream Legend"
"What are you talking about?" Jaina asked in confusion about what I said. Obviously I couldn't explain these things to her...
"This may be a war song given to me by future generations."
"What is a dream legend?"
"It's nothing, I don't know why I thought of this word..." Actually, I really don't know why this sentence was there. Could it be that I told her that all this is my dream? But Jaina just held the crimson necklace on her neck tightly and nodded firmly. She muttered a sentence that I didn't understand.
"I see…"
