Chapter 3 Whispering Shores Landing

Unfortunately, this did not last long. We quickly boarded the warships assigned by each of us. There were no soldiers to be assigned by Jaina. The 21-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-0

Yes, we were still worried that Anubarak might chase us, but luckily, after a few hours of sailing, I went to the Rangers who stood at the Sailtop Observatory Station on the Rangers' battleship, no longer observing the north, and this also made me convinced that the Spider people would not chase after him again.

Although I don't think they are our opponents at sea, I really don't want to fight them at this time. After all, not long ago, we were in an alliance and we were eating the food they gave. If we fight now, it would undoubtedly go against our will, and we were worried that the rangers would form a subconscious understanding that the alliance has not always been unreliable.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not thinking about them, but examining my current vehicle and this leisure trip.

The undead warship is much smaller than our human warships, and one ship can carry up to a maximum of 100 people, but even so, his progress has not surpassed us. I believe the military will not like this kind of inferior warship. Apart from the inferior technology, the most unpleasant thing is its comfort.

Because this is a warship to carry the undead, there is no place for people to rest except the reserve warehouse. This will also mean that I will lie with everyone on the deck with everyone on the horse grass, and no longer have any private space.

Of course, what I call private space only means that there is no single room at night. This is a bit hard for me to accept, and it is impossible for me to go for it. In addition, a conspicuous tent or a bedroom is set up.

But during the day, I could stay with Sylvanas and talk about some interesting topics, and the way she came to me was not through Gianna's spells, or not often, most of the time it was through the dwarf's griffin.

I didn't expect that at this time they became means of transportation, and they were happy to transport people who wanted to wander around the warships. Some soldiers even rode them on them to cruise in the air. The cheerful dwarves didn't care about others using their mounts at will. After all, for them, being able to lie on the deck and bask in the sun really made them feel comfortable and didn't care about these guys who wouldn't get lost.

Such leisure is also because the matter of driving the boat can be completed by just a few people. Even if it is rotated, most people will still do nothing during this period. The behavior of riding a griffin may be the best way for them to relax at sea. During this period, several of our races also had a more harmonious exchange. Even at night, they were mixed up on the boat that did not originally belong to them, and they went to talk to each other about some interesting things with their new friends.

It can be seen that everyone is enjoying this wonderful journey. Perhaps if everyone hadn't been on the war between us and Gilness, they would have been willing to slow down the warships, including the elves. Compared to our worrying about our hometown, we were still looking forward to returning home quickly. The difference is that they didn't want to go back. At the beginning, I understood their mood very well, but soon I felt something was wrong, because this mood became more and more intense as the goal approached, and even surpassed my imagination.

Are they all worried that their general will be abandoned by me? Or are they worried that they will say goodbye to their general? There are only two reasons.

I don't think it's the latter, because they will be together for a long time, but if it's the former, I would like to promise in public that I will not let her down, and that these elves will not worry about anything.

But I was wrong. When a person's guest came, I realized the real reason... that is, they had already violated someone's will when they came to join our Northern Expedition Army.

……………………………………………………………

In order to dare to go to the royal city as soon as possible, we did not go to the north of Stasom, but went directly to the coastline to the west. Yes, this is the fastest way to get to the royal city. But it is also true that we are also very close to the port in the north of Quelthalas, which means that we are about to reach the boundary area with the elves.

In fact, at this time, the rangers could leave and go back to report directly, or not follow us and return directly to the port of Quelthalas. Yes, they escaped from the alliance and could not and did not need to join the war between us and Gilness, but Sylvanas chose to follow us back to the royal city without hesitation to participate in the war that might still be ongoing. Maybe they themselves didn't know whether they wanted to follow us or they just gave us the best way. So the rangers' warships finally docked in the western region with us.

"Lorthema, you lead the troops back, I'll go to Lordaeron." After the ship docked, everyone got off the warship one after another. So, guarding the face of all the soldiers, Sylvanas first explained some things to her deputy.

"General, are you sure you go now?" The Ranger Deputy who knows politics knows what this means, and also tells some things that I didn't expect. "You have not greeted the superiors after supporting the Alliance's Northern Expedition, let alone we don't know the situation of the war. If you are still in war, are you sure you want to help Lordaeron as you are?"

Yes, after he said this, I realized their situation. If the undead in the Northern Expedition could be reasonable, then joining the war among the human race is a matter of nature, and she is not the exiled Wenleza, and Sylvanas is now the representative of Quelthalas. She now joins our camp to resist Gilness. Dragging the elves into the same way as declaring war in Gilness is definitely a serious nature problem.

"Silvanas, you don't have to make a choice like this. You go back and report to your soldiers first. After the war is over, Jaina and I will find you soon."

"No, I swear I will not leave you when you are in danger, even if I lose the reputation of the Ranger General, or be exiled like my sister.... Arthas, I will go with you to fight those creatures."

"Silvanas..."

I murmured her name, yes, I know that such a choice will be subject to huge public pressure. For example, in Quel'thalas, she voluntarily gave up her name and followed a human prince, which would be like a traitor in such a political environment. Similarly, if human politicians would not treat her like Wenleza, they would probably think she was a speculator, or even think that she was a stumbling block to interfere with our beautiful relationship with Kurtiras, especially when the admiral did his best to help us resist Gilness.

I believe Sylvanas should know these results. Maybe I should persuade her not to do this again, but at this moment, Jaina is with her and snuggling with her, supporting her point of view with body language. Yes, Jaina can best understand Sylvanas's deepest thoughts at this moment. And, if she has her full support, then Sylvanas may have much less public opinion among humans.

I was not saying anything about this, but reached out to her shoulder with my hand and nodded firmly to her. Seeing that I agreed with her opinion, Sylvanas nodded and turned to her soldiers again.

"You go, I am not your general, I am going to go to Lordaeron to fight for faith."

Once this was said, all the rangers became silent. It seemed that they thought that this would be the result, but their hearts seemed to be even hesitant at this moment. Yes, I believe they also really hoped to participate in our war against Gilness. Perhaps, there is another ranger who will undoubtedly do it.

"Then what else can I say? I am a human being, general. If you leave, I think I should return to my homeland." Nathanos said firmly, and this invisibly led some other elves who were experiencing life and death with us.

"Then...General, if you insist on doing that... we will..." Rothema said hesitantly. I think he was going to Lordaeron like us, but at this moment, a teleportation array appeared near us and disrupted our atmosphere.

…………………………………

I thought it would be Ronin, but soon I realized it wasn't, and in Jaina's uneasy face, I seemed to notice who it would be. Yes, in his realm, that guy should have alerted us about our current behavior.

"Long time no see, Alsace! And Ms. Gianna... I didn't expect you to kidnap my most elite troops." He looked at the Ranger and the few soldiers in our alliance, but soon smiled. "It seems that I have to thank you for helping me bring back almost complete troops, but you don't seem to be so lucky, and the losses are a bit heavy."

He joked with us, but when I saw that all the Rangers' faces looked gloomy at this moment, the idea that I wanted to refute changed instantly.

"I am indeed envious of having a powerful ranger unit like this, but our sacrifice is worth it..." I first answered with some pain, and then changed my tone. "...I hope you can forgive me, Prince Kelthas, the situation at that time does not allow me to ask for advice from you, but I believe in your sense of justice. I will support us to eliminate those evil creatures together."

I lowered my head and replied to his questions, as if I was his subordinate. The result was only exchanged for the anger of my soldiers and the sympathy of other rangers. Kelthus also realized something about this, so he no longer prepared to talk to me, but became calm.

"You are really good at speaking, Arthas..." Facing my argument, Keirthas couldn't help but calm down, and gradually revealed his bottom line, which is what I began to think of as the main purpose of his trip. "Destroying the source of the plague is our unshirkable responsibility, but we who love peace will not participate in Arthas, which is the war between your human race, and you don't want to drag us into your war."

He raised his fist and said, then glared at Sylvanas fiercely. Yes, everyone knows why he is angry at this moment. Naturally, I cannot tolerate the attitude of the Elf Prince.

"Kelthas, both elves and humans have their own choices. I still remember that you criticized our Silver Hand for saying that some slave servants were raising them. I don't think you would do anything against democracy."

I took a word from him before to argue with him, but I seemed to have forgotten a basic common sense.

"But she is the Ranger General of Quel'thalas, and she cannot disobey the army's orders. Don't you know this common sense?"

This sentence made me feel a little speechless, and at this moment, Jaina, who was once an apprentice of Dalaran, stood up and faced the Kenry Tom directly. Seeing this, the elf's attitude became as gentle as it was at the beginning.

"If she is not your subordinate, can you follow us to Lordaeron?"

"That's certain, but as her boss, I have to hear her say the decision to leave me, right?"

Kelthas smiled and answered Jaina's question, which angered me. Yes, this sentence obviously also contained some of the meaning of him being Jaina in Dalaran.

But that's nothing. After all, what he said was the truth, and what I was worried about was the purpose of his words like this. I think he should have heard some rumors about me and Sylvanas. That is, he knew that this was the easiest time to shake Sylvanas's determination.

Yes, an outstanding ranger general who has served for hundreds of years will not subconsciously disobey the orders of his superiors, especially in front of such a person and the soldiers she brought with him. It will definitely be difficult for her to make a decision to leave the camp, and this is tantamount to putting my relationship with her into an extremely embarrassing situation.

"Kelthas, I didn't expect you to make things difficult for a woman like this!" Muladin couldn't stand it anymore. He first accused the Elf Prince of the bystander, but was soon refuted by Kelthas and left him speechless.

"There is no distinction between men and women in the army. I think you understand this very well, dwarf." Kelthas did not hide his stern expression and faced us. Such a tense situation made our soldiers feel angry and also made the elves feel uneasy. Yes, they are really worried about how to deal with the situation if they fight. After all, the elves have to support their prince, just like their own soldiers...

But this may not be the most serious. What worries me the most is Sylvanas's current thoughts. This environmental pressure is invisibly all pressing on her, the person involved. Now she lowers her face, her eyes closed and says nothing, and she may be successful by Kaizi, because at this time women will always make concessions against their wishes.

At this moment, I really want to walk over and beat Kaizi, but I think Kelthas definitely hopes that I will do this, because once I am at a disadvantage, or on the oppressed side, Sylvanas's nature may really be on the side. But if I don't take action, this environment will continue to put Sylvanas pressure on them.

Just when I stared at me like this and didn't know what to do, Jaina stood up again, and her theory really made the Elf Prince a little overwhelmed.

"Kelthas, did you hear the conversation between us nearby at the beginning, and you couldn't help but appear when Lothama was about to say he was going to Lordaeron." This statement was once, and Kelthas was shocked. Yes, if he denied it, perhaps with his current strength, Jaina might find some magical evidence. But this attitude may not require that evidence at all, because his hesitation and astonishment expression had already made everyone understand that Jaina spoke to his heart. "You are simply making things difficult for Sylvanas to do so, forcing her to make a decision against her wishes!... Kelthas, I respect you as my elder, and I hope you can admit and tell us if what I said is true."

"Gianna, you're right. I was here at the beginning, but I didn't plan to force Sylvanas to do that."

"Why do you do this, your Highness?" Lorthema asked his prince, and this behavior immediately made Kelthas feel angry.

"That's because I can't watch all my elite troops throw themselves into the arms of mankind, or will involve Quel'thalas in this human civil war. We are not dwarves, not alliances, and we have no obligation to help Lordaeron fight against the werewolf of Gilness!"

"If they eliminate Lordaeron, aren't you worried that your next target will be you?"

Jaina refuted Kaizi's remarks, but as an elf, he obviously had his own concerns.

"But if you Lordaern and Kultilas eliminate Gilness, then we will be the same next goal." Kelthas said, jokingly said to Jaina. "Yes, you Kultilas don't seem to be worried about this problem, because you have become vassals of Lordaern."

"I promise not. I swear in the name of my Paladin that we will live in peace with you, and if you are not at ease, you can give Sylvanas a testimony. After all, you elves can live for thousands of years, right?"

I said this, and when Kaizi heard this, he was obviously not as angry as he was at the beginning. Perhaps he realized something, for example, Sylvanas came to Lordaeron, which was a win-win situation.

"Oh? Alsace, you seem to remind me something."

"Isn't your original bottom line that I won't take your Rangers' troops? You can rest assured. I just want to take Sylvanas and his human Nathanos, and I promise that the border between us Lordaeron and you will always be in your current position. Without your permission, we humans will never step into your territory." I said this, and then guarded Kazi's face to capture Sylvanas. "Of course there is a prerequisite, that is, you should not put pressure on her with your so-called responsibilities."

I thought my actions and Sylvanas would touch Kelthas, but in fact, he was unmoved at all, and even expected to see me as I could do so. I couldn't help but wonder that the purpose of his trip was not to break up Sylvanas and me as I had thought at the beginning.

"I naturally promise this, and I also promise that she would go in and out of Quel'thalas as before, as the Ranger General... instead of being accidentally exiled like her sister..... Alsace, you know what I mean, right?"

"Thank you very much... for your support." I did not answer his question positively. Yes, I knew that he had figured it out now. It was my secret instigation that made him a reckless decision to exile Wenleza. And don't confess such things, so I bowed deeply to her to apologize. Jaina, who also acted like me, also showed a firm face. Perhaps she realized that it was my conspiracy, but Jaina still supported my actions with actions without hesitation, and I felt very relieved about this.

And this was like a slap for Kelthas, and he was not revealing my true feelings, but looked at Jaina angrily. Yes, at this moment I realized his true thoughts now, that is, he wanted to prove in front of Jaina that I am a sinister and vicious hypocrite who likes to play with. Yes, I should have thought that this was his purpose.

But seeing Jaina supporting me so much, perhaps he retained the most hopeful idea and was destroyed. Yes, he might not have expected that even when I was doing some activities, she would support me wholeheartedly, even like my "accomplice". On the other hand, if I knew from the beginning that Jaina was his purpose, there would be no worries or fear.

For this reason, he was furious and very angry at first, but soon recovered from peace and then made some ruthless words, or gave up the declaration.

"No, I don't mean that. I really want to know what Prodmore would think of this political marriage." After saying that, he turned around and left, and turned to Lothama and the other rangers. "Go back to Quelthalas with me, neither of you can get into the emotional trap set by mankind!"

In response to this, the rangers could only hurriedly bow to us and follow their prince's steps. And I seemed to realize what I had forgotten.

"Wait, His Highness Kelthus, I want to ask you some questions about the battle between Lordaern and Gilness, we..." I asked him devoutly, yes, if there were other parties involved, I would definitely not look for him, but I was still worried about the news about my country. In this regard, the impatient Kelthus turned to us with our "private friendship".

"If you go back to the royal city now, you might be able to catch up with the counterattack against Gilness... I know that the combat power of those werewolfs is actually lower than that of shit..."

He expressed his anger without any concealment, and when he heard this news, almost all the Lordaeron people cheered and excited.

"Very good…"

“We succeeded…”

Originally, Kelthas didn't want to see this scene, but after hearing what was said in the cheers, he couldn't help but wonder. Yes, he knew that we were just going to Northrend to eliminate the source of the plague and had nothing to do with Gilness in the south. But at this moment, Lothama answered the question on his prince's face.

"It was our coalition that eliminated the demons, that is, the source of the werewolf's power..."

"I didn't ask you!" Hearing this, Kelthas's face turned greener. Yes, he knew that his people had ruined his good things to a certain extent, but for him, Kelthas himself had no choice but to fill his anger and took the rangers back to his home quickly.
