Wheel of War: The High Elves Gaiden(2/2)
"If the league practice gives you the same price, will you turn the gun around?"
“That depends on the price…”
"Of course it's more money than the tribe."
"Is that more important? I think I can recommend you to meet our Chief, who is a more greedy man than me."
Nathanos hesitated for a moment, but he still firmly believed that the goblin who had received the money would help him, so he accepted his suggestion, handed the wallet to him and released him to lead the way. After the goblin realized that it was indeed a human, he also made his own plans, such as introducing him openly to a focal area and attacking him.
On the way he was moving, Nathanos felt a little suspicious. He felt that the goblin wanted to frame him, but did not lead him into a road but towards the dock. He became alert to this, but he really realized the danger. When he saw the goblin's eyes that were very hatred and surprised to him, he realized the danger of the situation. At this time, the goblin who was kidnapped by him couldn't help but shout out.
"There are human spies, come and help..." Before he could finish Nathanos killed him, and after cutting the wallet just now before the goblins operation, he thought about running inland. Yes, he didn't expect this to happen. How could goblins be so hostile to humans? You know, a few months ago, the Alliance and the goblins fought side by side on Mount Hygar, but now...
He didn't know why, he could only choose to run. While he was running, some goblins chose to pick up these gold coins, but some ignored the gold coins and went directly to chase Nathanos, which made him very surprised. Obviously, he didn't know why they regarded humans as their mortal enemies. However, Nathanos knew that he had to tell Lothama the news that he asked him to attack here to destroy the supply line of the entire tribe.
At this moment, he had no weapons, and the goblins had a large number of shotguns with near-range and star-difference shotguns, but these were all avoided by Nathanos. On the way to pursue, Nathanos chose a mountain clump and hid in a place, and used assassination to deal with the goblins who followed and dispersed one by one. However, it was not a success. After all, he did not carry a bow and arrow. After a few of them, the goblins next to him still called more partners to come over. They approached Nathanos with long-range weapons.
Soaked in the cold sea water for a long time, and his physical energy consumption and his serious unfamiliarity with the terrain here made him very disadvantageous. Looking at this situation, Nathanos seemed to know his fate. He could not be the opponent of the goblins with so many guns. Perhaps he could fight a few more, but he was worried that he would be investigated by the goblins who knew what he knew after being captured. He decided to stop himself from this. After all, he thought that his death would definitely make Lothama alert. With their manager's eyesight able to observe the situation here, he should be able to make wise judgments, and he could only expect that elf partner to recognize this reality.
Nathanos couldn't help but sigh and began to waving his dagger. However, at this moment, a corner suddenly shot out a bow and arrow, and shot many goblins in an instant. The goblins didn't know the situation. They thought that there must be a lot of ambush when they shot out so many arrows in an instant, so they hid in an instant. But even so, they still couldn't stop the bow and arrow from falling accurately on them. In this regard, the goblins instantly ran away like birds and beasts, because in their eyes, this place was a buried place, and an elite archer unit was ambushing them.
But this can be hidden from others and cannot be hidden from Nathanos. He knew that this was not done by a team, but by a person, and based on experience, he was sure of the identity of this person.
Nathanos was excited and walked to that position, but at this moment, a bunch of bows and arrows shot at him again at the hidden point. However, the target was not Nathanos, but the position in front of him signaled him not to move forward, but how could Nathanos agree? As his spiritual pillar and the object of his loyalty, he vowed to see her even if he died under her arrow. Nathanos continued to go there. When the figure that she, who was exactly the same as in his mind, ran away, Nathanos was more convinced that it was Sylvanas, but how could he catch up with Sylvanas's pace, and his current condition was not very good.
"I know it's you, why are you running?" Nathanos said, but obviously the figure ahead ignored him, and as he drifted away, he said something he thought was most useful. "You know everyone thought you were dead, but Arthas still firmly believes that you are alive."
"Impossible..." Sylvanas turned around and stopped. Yes, this has always been her question. The Black Dragon King followed this spiritual breakthrough to control Sylvanas, but just as she wanted to continue asking, she found that her will still not allow her to continue asking. At this moment, Nathanos explained to her at a relatively far position, for fear that she would run away.
"It's true. When Arthas got Gul'dan's head that time, he wanted to use this thing that could destroy the world to find the Black Dragon to exchange for you. Many night elves are witnesses about this."
"Really?" Sylvana was a little excited, but soon another sentence popped up in her consciousness... "But he didn't do that."
"So are you so cruel to him? Do you think you were abandoned, or do you think you should live and die together at that time, rather than give everything to save your other half?"
Hearing this, tears fell in Sylvanas's eyes. Yes, whether she pretended or beat her from the bottom of her heart, these were indeed superficial actions without any concealment. She also wiped it quickly, and then continued her pace with a word.
"I'm not Sylvanas, I'm already a dead person."
"No matter what form you are, you are yourself, even if you don't have the will to freedom..." Nathanos retorted, but Sylvanas had already run away at this moment, and perhaps he could no longer hear it. Looking at Sylvanas who was gradually moving away and unable to reach him, Nathanos was already indulged in love. He didn't think that after he lost her news, she would have such an attitude towards him when she appeared again. Nathanos had always dreamed of seeing Sylvanas, but he didn't expect that he would have such recognition.
Know. Originally, Nathanos could hold on to this day, but it was nothing more than continuing to hold on to the will that Sylvanas had never insisted on. But if he gave up this idea, what would he insist on? So he picked up the dagger again, but this time he stretched to his neck and finally told her his will before he was about to cut his throat... "I have always been persisting until now. Sylvanas, if I know you are still alive and abandon us, then what else can I do when I am alive?!"
When she heard this, Sylvanas stopped a little, perhaps a little moved, of course, it was more about his plan. She was convinced that this human ranger was completely loyal to her existence, which completely verified her own conjecture, otherwise she would have killed him even if Nathanos did not commit suicide.
"Nathanos..." Sylvanas walked back, walked into Nathanos and snatched his dagger. Nathanos was very excited to see this. Perhaps if it weren't for some consideration, he might have wanted to hug Sylvanas, but Sylvanas looked like he had taken the dagger and wanted to kill him himself. However, before that, she also wanted Nathanos to explain some things.
"I am the undead, maybe when I will be controlled again. Although I escaped with the help of Sasarien, I don't know when I will be controlled by him. Moreover, the natural disaster of the undead is still very powerful now. If they find me comfortable, I will definitely become their puppet again. Look at me again. I am full of rotten flesh. Maybe one day I will only have a skeleton or even annihilated. I am very dangerous around you."
After Sylvanas said that, he gently brushed over the outermost cell on the skin on Nathanos's neck. After confirming that he had not dodged, Sylvanas no longer doubted his new job and loyalty to his new job and returned the dagger to the original owner. Yes, on the other hand, Nathanos was very excited to see Sylvanas treat him like this.
"So you are secretly helping us silently?"
"I don't think I'm doing anything."
Sylvanas said, turning his head, which made him even more anxious.
"Don't you really want to go back? Now the Alliance and the Horde war is about to break out, and Mavie gives us ships, and she abandons everything she has in the dark night to help us."
"High-level priestess, Lord Mavi of Ashes Valley?" Sylvanas realized something. He knew this night elf lord in Onyxia's memory. She really didn't expect that Mavie would give up everything and follow me. However, Sylvanas, who had similar experiences, realized something. For example, he himself was not the case. Although his own status was far inferior to Mavie, it was all the same. At this moment, an indescribable jealousy and ashamed feeling in her heart arose. "Is that so? It's really good..."
"Maybe you should go back to Arthas. He has used his undead identity to prove in Mount Hygar that the undead body does not represent anything, and what is really determined is our form. Jaina must have some way to help you avoid others' control."
"No...no" Sylvanas decided, and she didn't want to continue talking to him. Whether it was for hiding or the message Nathanos told her, it made her feel inexplicably heartache. "I can't go back, I can't go back..."
"What should you do? Wandering like this, then I'll be with you?"
"I'm not a wandering person. I just want to do my best to help you. Go back and tell Rothema about the situation here, tell him to destroy the entire goblin position, and then support the alliance."
"But why are goblins so hostile to our alliance?"
Nathanos asked, but Sylvanas could tell him clearly about this question.
"According to them, the Alliance slaughtered all the goblins in the Dust Swamp area after the Burning Legion's War, and the reason why the Alliance did this was that Dailin and many human civilians died at the hands of the goblins... But now is not the time to hold anyone responsible. Go and help find Lothama and let your warships destroy it, otherwise it will be troublesome if these ammunition and artillery support are given to Zulkin. I have prepared a steam speedboat in the north. Go quickly, I will create destruction before you arrive."
"I understand!" Nathanos said and was about to leave, but he suddenly thought of a key question. "By the way, if you don't come to the league, how can I see you?"
"With this dagger, I will find you. When I help the league defeat the Horde, I will completely reclusive... Arthas no longer needs me, Mavie and Jaina, and maybe there will be others, I am redundant."
When Nathanos heard Sylvanas say this, he couldn't help but pluck up the courage to show her a will. Yes, at this moment, he realized that this might be the last chance given to him by God and the best chance. So he did not persuade Sylvanas to return to me, but considered his feelings:
"If you think you are redundant, then I hope I can continue to follow you in my personal name. I hope you agree."
Nathanos grabbed Sylvanas's hand and said, "Yes, it's really hard to refuse, and it was when Sylvanas was in love with each other and needed comfort. Sylvanas seemed unable to refuse, and there was no reason to refuse, because she wanted this sentence.
"If you and I can survive, then we will leave everything, but that is when you complete your mission in the league, and you must not tell anyone about my existence. We must do it. At that time, we will go far away without asking about the world. If you still want to see my corpse at that time."
"I understand, I will obey any of your orders, you must wait for me..." Nathanos said and left with tears in excitement. Yes, at this moment he did not expect that his wish would be fulfilled. It was this feeling that completely occupied his brain, making Nathanos ignore the pursuit of her identity. At this moment, he was just thinking about helping the alliance completely defeat the tribe, and then releasing himself and Sylvanas to live in seclusion. His heart was full of excitement.
Similarly, Sylvanas authorized her to do this, because in the single challenge against Nesario more than ten years ago, Kardga used the inlay of inferior nuts in the body of Deathwing and the weak armor links created by the poor welding process to easily defeat him. This not only caused him to lose Gul'dan's head and a large number of artifacts such as the Book of Medivh, Sargeras Scepter, and Eye of Dalaran, there was also a whole generation of black dragon eggs, which of course also gave him an additional record of defeating the North Human Mage. Although no one could record it, it had left a shadow in Nesario...
After nearly two hours of sailing, just halfway through the morning, the excited Nathanos returned to the flagship of the high elf who had just set out. It was just at this moment. A violent explosion occurred in Xiushui Port. Perhaps it was awakened by a sudden sound. The warmth of Rothema and Leaderin who had recovered their will was interrupted instantly and quickly dressed. However, no one could compare with Nathanos' speed. He quickly arrived in this room, ignored the untidy appearance of Rothema helping Leaderin and reported the situation directly to Rothema who was about to accuse him.
During this period, he did not talk about the situation of the war, but told them about the current situation of the goblins and our conflicts, and suggested that they completely eliminate the goblins in this area when they had a fire.
Rothema hesitated for a moment about Nathanos's suggestion, but after Leadline reminded the goblins to provide a large amount of artillery and ammunition to the abandoned warships of the alliance, Rothema still agreed to Nathanos' suggestion. After all, in his opinion, the war between the alliance and the tribe is not a big problem, and their support is not needed at sea, so it is better to take advantage of the chaos of the goblins to kill their lives.
Also at the suggestion of some high elves and Nathanos, these warships continued to hang night elves' peugeots to goblins to fight in order to divert hatred. Although Rothema refused, there was no way. If the flag was changed, it would take a lot of time, and what they lacked the most was time, so they got on.
On the other hand, when the goblin saw the night elves' warship here, he thought it was cruising around to help put out the fire. So he relaxed his vigilance and even sent him to greet him. However, when all the night elves' warships reached a favorable position, the goblins were greeted with countless shells.
Because they were in a hurry to transport, the shells fell on the ammunition depot of the goblins and produced more and larger explosions. The fires and the fear brought to them by the explosion made the goblins unable to organize any resistance at all. Rothema took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to attack other residential areas and camps on the coastline. The shells poured out in the coastal areas where the richest and most residents gathered. In an instant, the wealth accumulated by goblins for centuries, or even more than ten centuries, was gone. The war even ignited camps and residential areas on the coast and forests, and Rothema still had no intention of stopping, because the shells here could be replenished continuously, and even if the naval guns were broken, there were a large number of parts and even finished products for repair.
Accompanied by the goblins' screams and anger, Lothama and the others seemed to feel less guilty at this time. In addition to hatred, there was another important point that they were troubled by demonic devotion. However, using the goblins' best machinery and explosions to trample on their lives is also a kind of satisfaction, and can completely suppress the desire for demonic devotion. So Lothama had no reason to refuse to do so.
The bombing lasted for a week, and when there were no goblins on the coastline, Rothema led his own ranger troops into the land to clear the goblins hiding in the mountains and forests. Yes, this kind of removal is as easy as adults bullying the children who think they are hiding well. After all, goblins are not trolls. The gap between their agility in strength and vision and mountain adaptability and the difference between high elves and high elves is not a small part, and the practice of hiding in the mountains and forests is undoubtedly to cover the ears of high elves.
Sylvanas, who turned into a black dragon, was very satisfied to watch this scene appear in the clouds. He satisfied himself to complete the task assigned by Deathwings, and also helped the Black Dragon King prove the barbarity of mortals, which also indirectly promoted the goblins to understand the alliance's mortal enemies. Of course, it was not only that. The alliance slaughtered the goblins in the name of the night elves, which obviously would anger the neutral night elves. Although the alliance took advantage of the tribe in this war, in fact, this only increased the depth of mutual hatred and the night elves' disgust of the night elves with the alliance. Although the night elves do not like logging, they do not like to massacre civilians, especially in their own name.
On the other hand, the goblin leader Gary Wicks, who had almost escaped to the night elves, was very hesitant to escape to the night territories, because he clearly saw that these ships were night elves, but reason told him that this might be a fraud, because if the night elves attacked themselves, why did they no longer attack directly on the border, but instead go to the beach. Moreover, they had just helped the night elves without reason to be so fired by this peace-loving race because of some trees secretly cut down. Then it might be that it was made by the high elves.
After some survivors came back to report this fact, Gary Vickers decided to lead his refugees into the Ashes Valley of the Night Elves. He immediately reported to the Night Elves that someone had massacred civilians under their banner, and hoped that the Night Elves could make the decision for them.
However, the night elves were also in a difficult position for Gary Vickers' proposal, because most of them were soldiers loyal to Mavi. They were not sure whether this was Mavi's meaning. After all, she had joined the league now, and it was not until the arrival of Tyrande. As a high priest, she realized the seriousness of the problem. She could not believe that the situation would develop like this. In this regard, she and Malfurion had to re-examine any help for the alliance and mediation, but this was a later story (it was hard for Ronin). He took them in first. He sent a large number of troops to the territory of the goblins to prevent the high elves from being massacred. Yes, although the high elves were good at mountain warfare, the night elves were better at it than them.
When the people of Rothema realized that the night elves were intervening. After attacking the goblins for so many days, he realized for the first time that he might be playing big. There was no way. He could not be an enemy of the night elves, and he didn't know whether he would become the target of the night elves' attack. In this regard, he could only choose to quickly leave here in shame after scraping the bullets and possible supplies.
On the way, the fleet that had been cheerful suddenly became as silent as dead as each other. Yes, if the night elves were enemies with the Alliance, they were undoubtedly the sinners of the Alliance. But the bad news was not only that. After two days of traveling south, Cordana and Mait Wynn's horned eagle arrived here, and in addition to telling them about the crisis of the Alliance Navy, they were just rebuking them for not acting in the Azshara area after four weeks.
In this regard, Nathanos and Lothama briefly introduced the process of destroying Xiushui Pier and Goblins, which may be a good reason, but there was also some tricks that were discovered by Kodana, that is, they were hung with the flag of the night elves... As a member of the night elves, he was very angry with the behavior of the high elves acting under the name of his own tribe.
Yes, she came to the Alliance for nothing more than Mavie. In her heart, she was still completely the will of a night elf. The Alliance's actions undoubtedly deeply hurt her heart. However, he did not argue, but chose to leave on his own horned eagle beast and return to the familiar Ashes Valley area in the north. He did not want to stay here, but wanted to return to his home...
In this regard, Mait Wynn could not keep it. She would indeed be like this if it was on Mait herself. However, she did not blame the high elves. After all, they were also helping her Lordaeron, so she still skipped the topic with Lothemma and went straight to the topic, which was the question of how to reinforce the alliance's main force in the beach of exile that had been surrounded.
On the other hand, it is not just the black dragon Sylvanas who secretly observes Xiushui Port, but also his predecessor, or an important branch of their high elves, the once orthodox high elves.
With Sargeras' death and Archmond's destruction, the power in the deep sea in the east of Azshara area was no longer afraid of anything. They began to try to observe the world by themselves, instead of relying on the oral narratives of fishmen who could not hear what they said to understand the current situation. Therefore, Naga saw everything happening around Azshara's sea area very clearly. It happened that through these things, they realized that the mortals in the world today seemed not so noble. Of course, this noble was the high elves talking about. However, what annoyed the master of Naga the most was not how despicable his survivors were, but because their race was almost destroyed and morbid. While she scolded the incompetence of Dasrema, her former subordinate, also realized that he had to prepare.
However, it is best not to alarm the snake during the century war of this alliance tribe. So I continued to lurk in the deep sea and use her secret crystal ball to observe what was happening outside. However, at this moment, she discovered the resentful Cordana, the night elf palace maid who served her in her palace in her early years, and later became a priestess. Yes, she realized the pain and helplessness of the night elf, and knew that the priestess had a lot of meaning to her infiltration into this world. So she summoned the figure here with her own magic.
And on Cordana's side, because she was lost in her mind and the power was very sudden and powerful, she instantly introduced Cordana to her underwater palace. When Cordana suddenly saw Huihonghong and Hongda's palace, she thought she had a daydream problem, because everything in front of her was exactly ten thousand years ago. The night elves and the capital Azshara, who lived together indifferently. Yes, he dreamed like this almost every week, but this time it was extremely real, as if it was not a dream...
"This is not a dream! It's Naga!" After seeing a creature like Naga, the immersed Kodana was thinking of taking out weapons to fight against these creatures that regard herself as mortal enemies. However, at this moment, behind these neat Nagas, an irresistible voice sent an order to her. Although it has been ten thousand years, and she has long regarded this voice as mortal enemy in her heart, she still unconsciously knelt down on her knees.
"Codana, right? It's still as stubborn as you first entered the palace..."
If the voice spoke, if it were just to look at his elegance in appearance and perfect body curves, Tyrande would probably feel ashamed, let alone Kodana herself. It was still the feeling of the past, and the feeling of oppression in the past, but when she unconsciously looked up and saw her legs, she also realized that her former light had become the queen of Naga. But even so, she did not have the courage to disobey after her death.
"Abide by the orders... Queen Azshara"
In response to this, the light of the former light burst out laughing. She originally thought that it would take some means to make them surrender, but it was obviously unnecessary. She didn't say anything about it, but personally helped the excited tears priestess.
"My people still need me, right?"
"No doubt, as I promised before, our people promised, to fight for you, Lord Queen..."
"Why did I surrender to me like this? I almost destroyed this world? Or are you afraid that I would kill you and be devout to me?"
"No, this ten thousand years of experience made me realize that the justice we are doing is nothing more than obedience to the justice of a few people, and you are trying to summon the Burning Legion to weigh a force, but Malfurion robbed the reputation."
After hearing Cordana's answer, Azshara was very satisfied. Yes, she was right, she really thought so. She just wanted to use the power of the Burning Legion and the Ancient God to engage in a duel, otherwise the deeper corruption of the Ancient God or the secret infiltration of the Burning Legion would cause a catastrophe to the world, so instead of waiting for death, it would be better to try to intervene them all in and take a look.
Then they didn't politely, but Cordana went to Azshara in detail and without reservation to Azshara from the rise of the World Tree to the recent events of Illidan in Mavi's gang. However, Azshara was Azshara. She had the power of guarding the dragon and easily saw that the war between the alliance and the tribe was still caused by someone's trouble, and she immediately thought of it as the Wings of Death. She was also sure that for now, the Wings of Death are intervening in the fight between the Scourge and Illidan. However, he was not afraid of Death Wings, even if he was about to get the undead and the remaining Burning Legion, he was not afraid at all. Because he knew the weakness of Death Wings, that is, he would never lose anything beyond his own calculations.
Thinking of this, Azshara decided to stop most of the preparation activities. She just let her confidant Vasqi's army take action alone, and the purpose of letting her act alone was to let the mortals on the ground understand that the Naga race was led by Vasqi, not herself. The purpose was to give everyone an illusion that she was still dead... But she knew that when everyone realized that she was still alive, it would be her time to re-control the entire world, and then her humiliation for thousands of years would be released to other races in the whole world together.
Chapter completed!
