When the ambush started, Zuljin and his men were thinking hard in front of the gate of Silvermoon City.
Without the assistance of the orcs and red dragons, how can we break through the impenetrable defense of Silvermoon City?
Despite the promise of certain unexpected "allies," Zul'jin doesn't seem to be placing all his hopes on those people.
The cunning Zuljin's first thought was how to use a trick to deflect the city gate.
For this reason, he specifically ordered Aikilson to capture the high elf ranger generals alive as much as possible before setting off.
Less than half a day has passed since the attack on Amani's tomb, and Zul'jin has not received the latest news from the southern part of the forest.
The commotion outside the main camp made the hot-tempered Zuljin yell angrily: "What's the fuss about! We are discussing important matters!"
"Zuljin, I...I have urgent news to report to you!"
'This voice... Harraz? '
Zuljin's brows twitched slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Come in."
A troll with a big cat head opened the curtain of the camp tent and walked in with some hesitation.
The ominous premonition in Zuljin's heart became stronger. He stared at Harraz and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Kuta? Why are you coming back alone? How are your contacts with the high elf traitors?"
"this……"
Harraz hesitated for a while before he bit the bullet, lowered his head and told the truth.
"Kuta... unfortunately died in battle. A small group of high elves suddenly broke into the meeting place. I tried my best to stop the three women of Windrunner, but..."
"Bang!"
Zul'jin did not listen to Harraz's explanation, and suddenly punched the lynx priest upside down and out of the tent.
"Well!"
Harraz had long expected that he would not be able to pass easily, and he also expected this punch.
"You loser!"
Zuljin rushed out of the tent closely behind Harraz, and under the surprised gazes of a large number of forest trolls, he raised his feet and tried to attack again.
The giant bear priest Nalorak and the warlord Dakara hurriedly took action to stop him.
"Zul'jin! Calm down, now is the time to employ people, we can't afford any more losses!"
"That's right. It's better to let him serve as a vanguard in the next battle. At least he can play a role."
"Ho! Ho!"
Zuljin's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of violence as he looked at Harraz who was lying on the ground with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
"I gave my only son to you, and this is how you take care of him?!"
Harraz struggled to sit up, knelt on one knee, lowered his head respectfully and said to Zuljin: "I am willing to admit the punishment. It was me who failed to take adequate precautions against the high elf's sneak attack, which ultimately led to this tragedy."
"call……"
Under the persuasion of many important subordinates, Zuljin barely suppressed the grief and anger in his heart.
"Get up! Explain the situation in detail!"
"Yes, thank you for your kindness."
…
After listening to Harraz's description, Zuljin clenched his fists tightly, and the bones made a "click" sound from the friction.
"Windrunner, what a Windrunner! Another Windrunner!"
Zuljin looked at Harraz with cold eyes: "I will give you one last chance to atone for your sins."
Harraz nodded hurriedly and responded: "Yes, please give the order."
Zuljin turned his head to look at the forest in the south where blazing fire had erupted not long ago: "The scheduled time with the high elf traitor is coming soon. I want to stay in the camp to see if there is any chance of improvement."
"Harraz, you and Narorak immediately rush to the ambush site of Leretha Windrunner and tell Ekilson that I don't want anyone alive, but only that woman's head!"
"yes!"
Watching Narorak and Harraz march away with their respective troops, Zuljin sighed deeply as he looked at the towering walls of Silvermoon City, his face full of exhaustion and sadness.
"Is my ideal just in vain?"
He closed his eyes to adjust his emotions, and when he opened them again, Zuljin could no longer see weakness in his eyes.
"Don't think you can win so easily. Even if you die, I will bite off a piece of meat from your throat!"
…
The dragon eagle flew very fast, and it only took Sarlayan a few minutes to find the grove that Louise Soma said.
When Sarlayan controlled the two dragon eagles to land, no less than twenty arrows were already aimed at him in the grove.
A beautiful female ranger wearing cyan armor and a blue hood raised her hand to dispel the alertness of her subordinates.
She is Sylvanas Windrunner, the deputy leader of the ranger force, the second daughter of Leretha, and destined to succeed the ranger general in the future.
"Relax your guard, you are one of your own."
Sylvanas recognized the half-elf who often came to Tarquelin to see her little brother at a glance.
'I remember his name was Sharlayan Deep Shadow, right? Why do you know our temporary camp is here? '
Out of caution, Sylvanas did not show up immediately and allowed the secret guards outside the woods to interrogate Sarlayan.
Sarlayan handed the ranger identity card engraved with L.S. to the two rangers blocking the door, and briefly stated his purpose according to Miss Louise.
"Let him in."
The heroic voice coming from the forest made the two secret guards move out of the way. Sarlayan was not polite, strode into the woods, and saw the leading female ranger at a glance.
Among the three Windrunner sisters, Sharlayan has the least contact with the second daughter Sylvanas, mainly because she is as busy with military affairs as Leretha.
The appearance of the three sisters is at least 80% similar, but they each have their own temperament and personality, so it is not that easy to confuse them.
"Appear! The wild queen!"
"Bah, Shiva is not Queen yet and hopefully never will be."
"Who wants to be dead if they can live? It's best to let Sharlayan change her fate."
"Those who lick the dog wither must die!"
"Brothers in front, please calm down, now is the time point of the second war, and many things have not happened yet."
Alleria's character is rebellious and unconventional.
Vereesa is a calm and naughty person. Although she tries her best to show her mature and steady side in front of her younger brother Lylas, some of her naughty nature will still be revealed unconsciously.
According to Lyras, Sylvanas's personality is somewhere between rebellious and stable.
She has her own stubborn side, as evidenced by breaking the rules and accepting a human apprentice.
But Sylvanas is not as unrestrained as Alleria. Taking over the ranger general inheritance left by her eldest sister shows her recognition of the family's responsibility.
The main emphasis of Ranger's armor is lightness.
Like Alleria and Vereesa, Sylvanas' armor protection area is also relatively limited. Her white and flat belly is completely exposed to the armor, and there is also a lot of white space between the shoulder armor and arm armor.
Unlike Vereesa, who exposed a large area of leg skin, Sylvanas's leg armor was tightly wrapped, and her eyes under the blue hood stared at Sarlayan with curiosity.
"Half-elf, why are you holding Louise's name tag?"
Sarlayan is not interested in the word half-elf because too many people used it as an adjective.
However, Sharlayan could tell that Sylvanas did not have those people's thoughts. She simply regarded the word as a noun.
Shaking his head to get rid of the subconscious displeasure in his heart, Sarlayan took a deep breath to adjust his mood.
"The situation is urgent, so I'll keep the story short."
"Leresa was ambushed, the enemy is very strong, and the subsequent development of the situation is not optimistic. She needs your help."
In the eyes of Sylvanas, who has been following her mother on many expeditions all year round, Ranger General Leretha Windrunner is omnipotent and no problem can stump her.
Her stereotype of mothers has been proven countless times over the past millennium.
Sarlayan's words stunned Sylvanas for a few seconds before she reacted.
"Ambush?! How is that possible!"
