Upheaval 4
Before we left, Garithers came over from the palace gate to see me off, and just attended the meeting. 21?? It was really not easy to see me at this time, and I was not surprised and had no resentment for him not taking over my side. After all, according to the original timeline, Lordaeron would have to rely on him in the future, so I took this time to give him instructions.
"Your Highness, you really insist on running away without fighting. Is the enemy really so powerful?"
Before I could greet me, he asked me. Obviously he didn't understand my choice, and he was very hesitant to follow me, maybe, but I didn't have time and no need to persuade him and his troops to join me.
"Yes, I believe you know that if I had a 10% chance of winning, I would have fought all my strength, but this time we have no chance of winning here at all."
"But even if it is true, I cannot disobey the king's order."
"Everyone has their own choices, I won't force you." I don't know if what he said was sincere, but I have no reason not to trust this general, especially when he can still come to see me at this time. "As long as it doesn't go against his will..."
"Then, I can do something for you, if things are really as you said..."
"After the appearance of the Demon King, we must preserve our strength and avoid his sharpness."
"Do not avoid the edge? Then aren't we just waiting for death?"
"Their goal is not our Big 6, but the Kalimdomain 6 where I want to go. After we go there to unite other races to eliminate the demons, you will also unite the various races here to regain lost land." I said as I remember. "But remember, don't have any prejudice against other races in any way. In fighting against demons, even orcs and trolls are worthy of trust. Of course, elves, dwarfs, and dwarves should regard them as our kind."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because only in this way can our world have a way out. Remember my words, Lord Lord."
"I must remember it."
Hearing his promise, I still felt that I was not at ease riding out on the "Invincible". Yes, it was because of his arrogance and extremeness that the elves were thrown into the tribe... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn around and return to Garithers who was watching me, and continued to repeat the explanation.
"Also, don't take your anger on them just because the culprit this time is the elves. Then he will treat them as if they are like us, remember, remember."
"kindness…"
Seeing that he agreed in confusion, I was not saying anything, yes, I can only say this.
...
A few of us walked like this. During the three days of our journey to Quel'thalas, we also heard a lot of rumors about the demons. The closer we got to Quel'thalas, the more information we had. Although we had never seen it myself, both the villagers and the garrison were very sure that the creatures had appeared. In this regard, I just told them to prepare for the retreat south and walked forward in a hurry.
Until the northern end of the Tyrisfalin land was close to the border area of the elves, I finally saw the demons I had seen in Stasom. Although this was not the first time I encountered them, I was still very alert when I saw myself. The armor formed by their natural horny and the thick body several times still made me remember it. However, compared to these, I was more worried that everyone would be afraid of their appearance in the final battle. I wonder if we can maintain a brave heart when our main force confronted them.
And that's why I only brought my personal guards here, because they have all experienced fighting with them and have the experience of fighting with them. At least I can guarantee that they will not be at a loss with the demons.
This was an unexpected encounter with four or five demon teams, who intimidated us without blindly attacking. It seemed that it also showed that these creatures also had a basic understanding, and I didn't know their specific number, so I had to start before they could summon their companions.
Under my order, they were quickly resolved. Although this time was easier, as I entered the border area, more and more demons appeared, which still made me feel a little nervous and worried about worse things...
"Your Highness, can you, Quel'thalas have been captured?"
"No." Although I didn't provide any evidence, I could only comfort my personal guards in this way, until I arrived at the trading post with Quel'thalas, and I began to shake myself.
This place was once considered a very wealthy place, with elves and human-style buildings echoing each other, verifying the harmony between our two races. It was only with the tension of border relations and the outbreak of the war with Gilness that this place completely declined. However, there are still many residents living here, but now there are burnt traces. The broken corpses and spilled finances and objects on the ground are enough to verify that the massacre was encountered, not for the sake of property or secular slaughter, so there is only one explanation, that is, the demons. They attacked the place, and in the direction of the north, perhaps this has already shown a problem, that is, what we were worried about just now.
At this moment, the appearance of a ranger still made me feel quite pleased because I could tell him about the current situation where they are and her news.
"His Highness Alsace, I'm glad to see you... Haven't you sent troops here?" He spoke very hesitantly. Perhaps he had his own hidden secrets, but I did not notice this immediately, but was concerned about what I was worried about.
"Where is Sylvanas? How is the situation inside you?"
"We haven't seen the general very early, maybe Lothema knows more."
"Then where is he?"
"At the gate." He pointed to the direction of the gate of the border of Quel'thalas.
"Is he okay?"
“We are all very good….”
He said with some shame, and when I saw his intact look, I realized something.
"The devil is not targeting you, right?" I grabbed his shoulder tightly and said seriously, and his speechless look completely evident in my guess. "What are you all doing? Watch the humans near you suffer from blood disasters.
"Lothama won't let us go out of the city. I'm here this time just to investigate the situation here and go back to report it."
Hearing this, I was even more angry and rode my horse towards the elf gate to find that friend who was inactive...
"You'd better give me an explanation for why such a thing happened!" But I came to the front of the elf gate first, and saw him and his team greeting me, and were not polite, but immediately dismounted and blamed him. He looked very innocent.
"Sorry, His Highness Alsace, Prince Kelthus ordered us not to leave the city, nor to allow any human beings to come in."
"Kelthas!" I wanted to scold him angrily, but now I am on the elves' territory and I can't do this, or before they know the truth, so I must first tell them what happened and persuade them to fight against their prince... "But you are not going to obey his orders in your heart. You are leaving the city now and let your subordinates investigate the situation there."
"This is very necessary for us, and I have to figure out what the situation is now."
"Very good, Lothoma, then I'll tell you the truth!" I lowered my tone when I said this. "If you knew that these were summoned by your prince, how would you feel?" I said this, and he did not show too much strangeness, which seemed to indicate that he guessed that it would be the result. "I think you have doubted it too."
"It's just like gray-haired..." He said helplessly. Although it was like this, he felt very unwilling to accept it...
"You chose to obey the order!"
"I'm an elf..."
"But he is not your king yet. This matter must be known to Dasrema and let him make reasonable decisions. If you think you want to violate your inner obedience orders, then you should also obey the orders of the king, not a prince."
I severely blamed the loyal general, and at this moment, Nathanos next to me told me a common sense.
"The Rangers are all affiliated with Kelthus. We are almost the same as your guards to you..."
After hearing what he said, I realized something, so I prepared to settle for the second best.
"Okay, then I won't force you, tell me where Sylvanas is?"
"Since she came back, she hadn't seen her, she should be still at home."
"Damn, she is in danger." When I heard this, my anger rose again. Yes, if she was really just at home, she would never lose contact with Ronin. And Ronin said that this message was intercepted by Kelthus, and Sylvanas's loss of contact would definitely be inseparable from him. I also had to go to the Sunwell to stop Kelthus in person, and before that, I would persuade the rangers to listen to my orders.
"Why do you say that?" Rothema asked curiously, and I also returned to my calm tone.
"Well, if you still remember Frost's sorrow, it was the weapon that caused Jaina and I to lose our nature separately, and it was now in your prince's hands."
"What!"
"He was controlled by the demons, and everything he did was to let their final master, the leader of the Burning Legion, come to this world."
"Are you sure?" Lorthema asked, as if he wanted to have such suspicion with him, but as a subject, he did not have any thoughts.
"If you still remember why Aurelia's expeditionary army went to the outer realm, it wasn't it just for the artifacts that could summon demons, but now they are all close to your Sun Well, if any of you understand that spells should be able to feel that they have appeared nearby."
My words attracted his thoughts, but soon he made up his mind.
"What do you want to do? If you don't bring the army, it's hard for us to stop this."
Lothama was convinced by me, and I immediately told him about my next plan.
"No, we can convince you king!"
"How could His Majesty the King doubt the prince because of our words."
"I don't know, but for your elves and for our big 6, aren't we worth a try?"
"I understand that if you are willing to take risks like this, then I will be charged with betrayal."
"It's responsibility, for your people." I said calmly to him, and I silently recited to him an expectation, 'Maybe you will understand!'
"Then how do we do it?"
"Go to meet your king with me and rescue Sylvanas!"
"good."
Rothema ordered to his men, and the rangers whom I knew were also supporting our actions, so we went north and towards the second gate together.
