Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 25 .Secret Wharf

In the sky of the ghost land, a dark sky curtain appeared for unknown time, but it has been hanging there. In Sylvanas’s memory, it has always been like this when she was born. It is said that it was in her When the fathers first came to this land, this dark sky already existed.

Arthas stood on the edge of the ghost land, his gray eyes reflected the sight of the other side of the river in front of him. The maple leaves were in full bloom and the air was full of fragrance, which reminded him of being in Lordaeron. His memories, even though he is now, don’t need those memories.

For the deceased, memories are painful, so the deceased do not need to sleep, but even so, every time the tide of memories comes, they will be plunged into the scene of the past, unable to extricate themselves, and the beautiful memories collide with the cruel reality. At that time, the spirit of the dead will feel great pain.

Arthas has become accustomed to this. The evil mana of Frostmourne has made his body stronger and his spirit tough. He will not be driven crazy by the scene of the past like those low-level undead. Don’t allow your subordinates to have such a bad situation.

“coming…”

Kel’Thuzad’s deep voice sounded in Arthas’ mind, and the King of Death Knight turned around, and a delicate gem was placed on the stone behind him. In the darkness of the ghost land, a silver light curtain appeared. Above the gems, on the other end, there is a high elf with long golden hair and blue eyes, who looks decent, but has traces of time on his face.

Judging from the appearance, it should be a great mage.

“Darkhan, I found what you need!”

Arthas stretched out his hand and waved forward. A tall figure appeared behind Arthas. As he approached the light curtain, the faint light illuminated his face, thin, pale and indifferent.

“This is the most powerful warrior under my command. The best part is that he has secrets about defensive runes in his mind. So, Darkan, now I need you to do what you promised me, and wait for everything. When the dust settles, I will reward you!”

Arthas looked at the grand mage with surprise and joy in the light curtain, and a stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“I am a generous person. Whether it is the Sunwell or the secret of eternal life, I can give it to you!”

After a few seconds, the elf on the other side of the light curtain spoke. His voice was very magnetic, gentle, and clear. At first glance, he was a big figure with high authority.

In fact, he is indeed.

Dar’Khan-Drassil, one of the Lords of Silvermoon City Council, in addition to King Anastrian and Prince Kael’thas, one of the twelve members of the Supreme Council of Quel’Thalas , This is already at the apex of Quel’Thalas.

But Dalkhan inherited all the high elves’ enthusiasm for magic. He longed for stronger power, but he was also a speculator, so Dalkhan would not pay attention to Alsace’s promise.

This elven mage is similar to Kel’Thuzad, but he is more sensible than Kel’Thuzad. He only believes in the power he can get, so even if he and Arthas are imagining the snake, it is only to break the sun with the power of the King of Death Well tightly protected.

As long as he could gain the hidden power in the eternal holy water of the Sunwell, it would be enough for him to be transcendent.

Therefore, in the face of Alsace’s request, Dalkhan said with great restraint,

“Of course, my ally, just give me a little time…I can open the door to defensive runes for you, but I need a little time…”

“I will give you time, Dalkhan, 7 days! You only have 7 days!”

Arthas stroked the ebony ring on his finger and said coldly,

“If the sun sets on the seventh day, I haven’t seen the defensive rune unravel, then all your trades with Kel’Thuzad will spread throughout Silvermoon City. You and I know what that means. .”

A gleam of haze flashed in Darkan’s eyes, but his face remained unchanged. He nodded in an elf-specific manner.

“Very good, 7 days, enough, but I need all the memories of General Theron. Remember, it’s all. The defensive rune is a very complicated magic structure. Even if it makes a little mistake, it will attract the attention of the Sunstrider. , I can’t bear the result, neither can you!”

Arthas did not speak, but placed his hand on Lor’themar-Theron’s forehead, and as his fingers gently pulled outward, a brilliant silver spark appeared on Arthas’s fingertips. He moved it to the surface of the gem, and the next moment Dalkhan’s pleasant voice came over.

“Ah…I can feel it, these are the secrets that were dictated by the top of the Ranger Army, very good, I know!”

The light curtain shattered, Arthas gently stroked, and the powdered gem was swept aside, Kel’Thuzad’s voice sounded again.

“Dalkhan is not a good collaborator, I can only do this step!”

“Enough, as long as the defensive rune is opened, I will do the rest myself. These stupid elves believe in the power of magic, but they will soon see the power that will not be surrendered by magic!”

Arthas turned to look at the indifferent death knight-Lor’themar-Theron, and said with a chuckle.

“That’s… the real power!”

In Alsace’s laughter, the ghostland once again returned to seclusion. As Sylvanas’ replacement, Lor’themar Theron, the original elf regent in history, his fate was also affected. changed.

When Sylvanas fled, Arthas quickly found a substitute. As a means of showing his power, he personally gave the dead Lor’themar-Theron a new life. Before Kel’Thuzad was resurrected, Lor’themar, whose strength was only one line lower than Sylvanas, became the number one general under Alsace.

The 4000 reinforcements led by Lor’themar and the rangers wiped out by Sylvanas’ entire army, in addition to the hundreds who fled at the last moment, accompanied their commanders, became the sharpest bows of the undead natural disasters.

Of course, Dick didn’t know the fate of Lor’themar, nor did Sylvanas. They were now walking quietly towards Quel’Thalas along the bank of the river not far from Fengxing Village, as expected. Elvanas said that after Fengxing Village and Jinwu Village were destroyed, the undead here were also transferred away, leaving only a miserable ruin.

Dick stretched out his hand and made a stop motion. Everyone sat in the woods. The tamed horses seemed to know the bad condition, but they were only silently eating the fodder taken out by the knights and regaining their strength.

Mela, Dick, Sylvanas, and Liadrin were sitting at the forefront. They were eating cold dry food while discussing the next plan.

“As long as you cross the Golden Mist Village tonight, you will be able to reach the bank of the Ghost Land. The opposite is the Eversong Forest in the defensive rune. There is a portal directly to Silvermoon City, so as long as we get there, we will be safe. !”

Sylvanas used a small branch to drew the approximate shapes of Ghost Land and Eversong Forest on the ground, while Dick frowned.

“How far is Jinwu Village from the battlefield of Tacqueline?”

“It takes about 4 hours to march at full force. Our route is equivalent to walking around the battlefield of Tacqueline.”

Liadrin explained to Dick, “Sylvanas is pointing to the right path. This is enough to throw off our chasing soldiers. This section of the road is difficult, only the real The ranger knows the shortcut we have taken.”

“Ok…”

Dick nodded. Although there was still a bit of grudge against Sylvanas, he had already seen the ability of the Ranger General during the day and night of the escape. Whether as a sentry or breaking the latter, Sylvanas did. It was the best. She even used four simple traps to easily kill the three-headed abomination pit in the mud.

From Dick’s point of view, this ranger general should be regarded as a mixture of shooting hunters and survival hunters in essence. In addition to being unable to have animal companions, her abilities are the same as her body, which is amazing.

“What I am worried about now is that Arthas is likely to set up a line of defense along the edge of the ghost land, and his troops are enough for him to squander.”

Dick took out his pipe and took two sips before he pointed to Sylvanas’ simple map.

“Look, there are only 6 bridges across the big river in the border area between Ghost Land and Yongsong Forest. As long as he divides one-third of the soldiers, it is enough to block these places tightly, and According to the general ranger, Halduron and Theron withdrew to Quel’Thalas, so even if they receive a signal for help, it will take at least 20 minutes to come over.”

“No… it doesn’t take that long, we don’t even need reinforcements.”

Sylvanas pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then said,

“This belongs to the confidential information of the Ranger Troops. Let me put it this way. There is a reason why I must ask you to go to Jinwu Village. There is a small pier, which is the secret base of the Ranger Troops. There are always five small boats powered by magic. As long as we get there, we will be able to enter Quel’Thalas with full confidence.”

“So, do you only need to reach Jinwu Village?”

Myra-Dawn Blade’s excited eyes widened. Although as a Paladin, eradicating evil is their bounden duty, the endless battles these days have already bored everyone including Dick.

“Yes, as long as you reach Jinwu Village, but…the terrain there is a depression, it is a natural trap. Once Alsace sets up an ambush there, we can’t escape!”

Sylvanas looked solemn, “Although this is only a secret known to the top of the Ranger army, I am not sure whether this secret has been exposed or not. If you think about it, this is a big gamble!”

“No… actually this is our only chance.”

Dick glanced at Liadrin and let out a sigh of relief.

“I have been hiding from everyone before. In fact, our food is not enough for half a day, and the horses and knights are exhausted to the extreme, and the comfort of the Holy Light is also limited. If this continues, everyone will collapse, so Jinwu Village The dock is our only opportunity!”

Dick stood up and stuffed the last bit of dry food into his mouth.

“Distribute all the holy water, don’t use it sparingly, Myra, you take your brothers to protect Liadrin and her pastors, and select 10 less injured brothers to join me as the candidates after the break. This time, we must send everyone to Quel’Thalas!”

Myra and Liadrin both nodded, and Dick finally set his eyes on Sylvanas.

“Ms. General, I hope you can truly fulfill your responsibilities after crossing the river. Quel’Thalas is really not as solid as you think. Arthas hasn’t appeared this day. Presumably you also thought of that. The worst result is that once the high elves are breached, Lordaeron’s defense line will also face terrible pressure from the north. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. Saving you is equivalent to saving ourselves. I hope you can These words bring your king, let him truly understand what Quel’Thalas is facing now!”

The Ranger-General closed her eyes, she took a deep breath, and then nodded. Dick also nodded, looking at Myra and Liadrin.

“Then, go and rest. Two hours later, we will set off to Jinwu Village!”
