Chapter 701 Staged Victory
Whether in the hearts of the Burning Legion or the demigods, the outcome of this war is irrelevant, because both sides are still in the stage of testing each other. After the demigods appeared, they only tortured the food a little and cleared out some miscellaneous soldiers, but did not confront the truly powerful demons in the Burning Legion.
But for the night elves, this victory is undoubtedly difficult and timely.
They saw hope in despair and felt the selfless assistance from the demigods. However, Jarod did not celebrate his victory with a loud shout like the others.
He knew that this was just a small victory in a long war, and there was still a long way to go.
"We have always believed that the excellent Guard Captain Shadowsong can lead us to unite as one and jointly resist foreign enemies." Cenarius said.
"Are you talking about me?" Jarod Shadowsong heard this and hurriedly shook his head in denial: "Master, you are exaggerating. I, I am just an ordinary officer. How can He De take on this important task? Now I can stand Commanding the troops here is just a matter of luck and luck.
Cenarius smiled slightly: "Garold Shadowsong, you don't need to be overly modest. At this juncture, it is even more important for you to step forward. Tauren and other races have joined our ranks, but they need us to give them their due. respect. Only when they see the sincerity and respect of the night elves, will they sincerely fight alongside us. The war is not over yet, and the future of Azeroth is still full of unknowns and variables, and we need their strength."
When Jarod heard this, his shoulders dropped helplessly. He knew the arrogance of those elves. It would be impossible for them not to discriminate against foreigners without imposing orders. This important task belongs to him.
He took a deep breath and said firmly: "I will do my best to live up to your expectations, Master. Although I cannot guarantee any brilliant results, I can use my life to assure you that I will do 457 To everything I can do.”
Cenarius nodded with satisfaction: "Your words are enough, Captain Shadowsong. We believe you can lead us out of this predicament [to usher in new hope."
Jarod straightened his back, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "I will immediately start reorganizing the resistance army and let them appear on the battlefield with a new look. But Master, I have something to ask for. The other demigods will How to deal with the next situation?”
"We will stay here." Cenarius said. "Although the legion was defeated this time, they will never give up. I am worried that they will come back soon, and the next attack will be more ferocious and cruel."
"I have not yet learned your name, brave tauren warrior. Jarod's eyes fell gently on the tauren in front of him, and his voice was full of respect and curiosity.
Behind him, the white deer Aiteluo lowered his head gracefully and leisurely chewed the only clean green grass on the ground, as if adding a touch of vitality to this moment of tranquility.
The tauren warrior straightened his back, and his voice was low and powerful, like thunder in the wilderness: "My name is Huon Highmountain, Commander Shadowsong. The warriors of the Highmountain tribe are always ready to obey your orders. Levin· Cuiye told me that you are a trustworthy leader."
"Thank you for his trust." A warm current surged in Jarod's heart. He was a little surprised and touched by the trust of this druid whom he had only met once. He nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for your support too. ,kindness."
But now is not the time to say this. He paused and then said: "But please call me Jarod. The title Commander always makes me feel like an old man." As he said that, he revealed a An easy and friendly smile.
(ciag) Hu En's thick lips curved upward, revealing a simple and sincere smile: "Okay, Jarod.'
After saying that, Hu En turned his head again and looked at the King of the Forest, Cenarius, with his eyes full of respect. "Great Cenarius, it is my greatest honor to be able to see you here."
Cenarius smiled and nodded in response: "Huun, I have deep respect for your race. Your piety and respect for Mother Earth are the precious wealth of Azeroth. Today, the world is suffering from an unprecedented disaster, and it needs Your strong and powerful arms will protect us. Please stay and fight side by side with us."
"I understand, Cenarius." Hun's voice was firm and powerful, "I will obey Jarod's command and fight for the future of Azeroth together with my compatriots!"
He held up the eagle's claw stained with the blood of demons - the Spear of the Wild Gods in his hand. This weapon shines sharply in the sun, as if telling the story of its past brilliance and glory. With this weapon and his firm gaze, Hoon won the respect and trust of everyone present.
"Great, we have welcomed another powerful ally!" Jarod's joy was beyond words. He couldn't help but imagine how powerful they would be if more allies joined!
After confirming that the demons had withdrawn, the demigods and the tauren tribe also left one after another and set up camp near the elven army.
As the demigods and other allies left, other officers around Jarod also dispersed under his arrangement to deal with various matters. This temporary commander could also rest for a while.
However, soon new people came to Jarod's side.
A group of priestesses walked slowly, wearing exquisite armor with the symbol of the Sisters of Elune, and the soft light of the moonlight flowed on them.
Jarod's eyes swept across these priestesses, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on a tall priestess with a unique temperament. That was Maiev, his dear sister and one of the people he admired most.
"You are leading the team, Maiev!" Jarod said in surprise, but he did not let this expression fall on his face.
Maiev raised her head slightly, her eyes stayed on Jarod for a moment, and then she showed a look of surprise.
She stepped forward, patted Jarod's shoulder, and said: "When I heard that the commander needed an assistant who was proficient in magic, I never thought that that person would be you [my brother]. You really impressed me." Let’s watch the show.”
Jarod chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Well done, brother." Maiev continued, "Levin joked before that if Star Eyes continues to fail, we will launch a coup and push you to the position of commander. Now it seems that we don't have to spend that much time at all. Da Jin, this is really unexpected shit luck.”
"Maev, don't always be so sharp." Jarod had deep love for his proud sister, but also often felt helpless. He couldn't help the thorn in his words, "It really surprises me that you can get along so harmoniously with a man - you seem to be full of respect for him, which is not like your usual style [you have always been disdainful of men] A piece of work
"I...I don't look down on men!" Maiev was hurt by her brother's sudden revelation. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she glared at Jarod angrily, then waved her hand violently, The ground hit him on the head.
This commander who had just commanded calmly on the battlefield and was chatting and laughing with the demigods could only swallow his anger and dare not speak out.
The guards around him cleverly averted their eyes and pretended not to see anything.
Jarod rubbed his sore head, feeling dissatisfied with his sister but also a little surprised. He noticed that Maiev's retort just now was "I don't look down on men" instead of "I don't admire him". This made him realize that his sister did have sincere respect for that man.
Thinking that her sister had finally met someone of the opposite sex who could impress her, Jarod couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart. There is both pleasure at her sister's change and a hint of schadenfreude that she has met her nemesis.
He shook his head, threw these distracting thoughts behind, and said seriously: "Okay, Maiev, we have more important things to deal with now. In the battle just now, many soldiers were injured, and many others Beset by an enemy's curse. I am in dire need of healing from fellow priests of the Sisterhood."
After listening to her brother's words, Maiev also restrained her anger. She knew that this was a critical moment and her personal emotions must be put aside.
She nodded and said seriously: "I understand, Jarod. I will immediately organize the sisters to carry out rescue work."
At this moment, a burst of rapid hooves broke the silence, and a rider on a vigorous black panther came galloping over [His voice sounded a little urgent in the wind: "Where is the commander?"
Jarod frowned. Although he repeatedly emphasized not to call him "Commander", this title seemed to be deeply ingrained in the hearts of the soldiers.
Being interrupted at such a critical moment, an inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He turned around suddenly, intending to show this ignorant guy some color.
He turned around suddenly and shouted: "You wait aside for me first, and then I will tell you one by one."
However, he suddenly closed his mouth and his eyes widened. Only then did he notice that the person who came was not an ordinary soldier or messenger, but a distinguished noble. The gold and agate jewelry on his shoulders shined in the sun, and the family crest on the chest armor highlighted his noble status.
Jarod was shocked. He almost got angry at a noble just now. Fortunately, the nobleman didn't care about his gaffe, and just nodded slightly to express his apology to Jarod. Then he stood aside in silence, waiting for further instructions from Jarod.
In order to cover up his embarrassment and shock, Jarod hurriedly turned away and continued to make arrangements for his sister Maiev.
"...In addition, our allies also need the blessing and help of the Moon God Priests." Jarod's eyes slowly swept among the priests, and finally stopped on Maiev, "I implore you , while providing them with help, we must also give them the respect they deserve - at least, we cannot let them feel any of our arrogance and contempt.
Maiev listened to her brother's words quietly, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She was once worried that this young brother would not be qualified for the role of commander, but now, seeing him standing in front of everyone and issuing a call with such a firm and powerful voice, she felt sincerely gratified and proud.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief of the army." Maiev said teasingly, until he saw his brother's face turned red with embarrassment, he nodded with relief, "It seems that Levin does have some sense, and you did have a decent manner when giving orders. "
Then, she turned to look at the priest Gia next to her, "Let's go, Gia. Our task is still very difficult, and there are many people waiting for us to save.".
