Archimonde the Defiler, who is too powerful to defeat, is already in sight, and all the officers participating in this military meeting feel a heavy burden in their hearts.
Before Alleria and Shandris rushed back to report, the tent was almost silent except for a few people such as Sarlayan and Jarod who could speak normally.
If the rubber cord is stretched too tight, there is a risk of it breaking.
Saryan believed that this overly depressing atmosphere would have a great impact on the coalition's morale and actual combat performance during the final battle, so he deliberately found an excuse to liven up the atmosphere.
Maiev also saw this and took the initiative to stop the ashamed and angry Jarod.
...Of course, Sarlayan also admitted that his kick did have some selfish motives.
Jarod's wife is Sarah Hill, a moon priestess. At the moment, she is following Tyrande and others to evacuate people on the World Tree.
Sarlayan had a good personal relationship with Jarod, and he had met Sarah Hill on several occasions.
Speaking of the relationship between Jarod, Shandris and Sarah Hill...to describe it in one sentence summarized by the barrage, that is, Qingmei is no match for the sky.
In fact, this statement is not very rigorous. After all, Shandris was still a young girl in love during the War of the Ancients.
Shandris Feathermoon is Tyrande's adopted daughter, and is a generation younger than her Shadowsong siblings, who are similar in age to Tyrande.
Sarlayan doesn't know what grudges and grudges happened ten thousand years ago. In short, Shandris, who was still very young at the time, fell in love with Jarod, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces who had a decisive command in the war.
After the war, until Jarod voluntarily retired and gave way, young Shandris kept chattering around Jarod, and even a blind person could see that she was interested in Jarod.
Tyrande is happy to see this happen. If her adopted daughter can be combined with Jarod, the issue of power distribution after the war that she was still worried about will naturally be solved.
However, Jarod, who had never heard of any love experience before, suddenly fell in love with a young priest named Sarah Hill before leaving Mount Hyjal to live in seclusion.
Moreover, the young couple did not give Tyrande and Shandris time to react. As soon as they confirmed their relationship, they threw away the position of military commander of the night elves without any hesitation, and fled into the mountains and disappeared without a trace.
During the previous private communication with Sarah Hill, Sarlayan learned many details behind the events of that year from her.
In the end, it was Jarod himself who couldn't overcome the hurdle.
Due to his personal personality, Jarod has always been indifferent to fame and fortune.
The reason why he stood up to command the coalition forces during the War of the Ancients was simply because he did not want to see the resistance forces pulled up by his mentor Lord Ravencrest fall apart due to the incompetence of the commanders, and Azeroth fell to the Burning Legion. hand.
After the war, Jarod, who was already smart, could see that Tyrande, who was passionate about power, had always been eyeing the military power in his hands.
Shandris did contact him out of her own will, but Tyrande, who was behind it, did not.
Jarod didn't want the little girl's extremely pure feelings to be tainted with the smell of politics. He was deeply tired from the political struggles between the arcanists, Dru Yin, the Church of the Moon, the military and other major forces, so he simply used this opportunity to Opportunity to escape from the world and completely escape the political whirlpool.
From a current perspective, Jarod and Sarah Hill do have a deep relationship.
But according to Sarah Hill herself, this mutual affection was actually cultivated over time after they lived in seclusion.
In other words... at that time, Jarod just found an excuse to pull Sarah Hill out as a shield. His deep love for Shandris was not untouched, but he reluctantly cut off his love for other objective reasons.
For the past 10,000 years, Sarah Hill has been quietly persuading Jarod to let go of his worries and return to the mainstream night elf society.
After such a long time, Jarod's heart has actually loosened up.
It's a pity that this talented commander who likes to get into trouble has been unable to make up his mind until Sarlayan took the initiative to come to the door, which made him take the final step with the help of others.
As early as a few years ago, Sarah Hill had hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally during her conversation with Sarlayan, hoping that Sarlayan could help promote the relationship between Jarod and Shandris, who reunited after thousands of years. complex.
There is a saying that Sarah Hill's miraculous operation of being broad-minded and taking the initiative to help Jarod connect with his old lover really didn't make sense to Sarlayan.
But this is someone else's family matter after all, and it's hard for Sarlayan to say anything.
This time, after leading the Alliance's Kalimdor expedition across the sea, Sharlayan "accidentally" met Sarah Hill when he went to Andarius to visit Malfurion.
Sarlayan thought that after many years, Sarah Hill had already given up on her original weird idea.
However, contrary to Sarlayan's expectation, this Moon God Priest with an extremely gentle personality actually brought up the old matter again.
Sarlayan could only give a perfunctory response with a wry smile. At that time, his mind was full of how to kill Archimonde, and he had no time to think about such pranks.
It was a coincidence. When Sharlayan saw Shandris subconsciously fainting in the direction of Jarod, he suddenly remembered Sarah Hill's commission not long ago, and simply kicked Jarod away. past.
Maiev has a very strong character. If her own partner dares to do such a thing...
In barrage terms, there is no way that Maiev will be divorced in her love life, only widowed.
However, Maiev is a well-known supporter. When this happened to Jarod, the usually selfless leader of the Watch also had a rare double standard.
She wished that her brother could find more lovers and spread the shadows of the Shadowsong family as soon as possible.
After all... Sarah Hill has never given birth to any offspring in the past ten thousand years. Although Maiev didn't say it, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She once wondered if there was something wrong with Sarah Hill's body. .
After sacrificing a shameful and angry Jarod, the originally stagnant atmosphere in the Chinese army camp suddenly disappeared, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Gossip is the common nature of all intelligent creatures. When Jarod noticed that the high-ranking coalition officers around him were looking at him who was supporting Shandris with aunty smiles, no matter how embarrassed he was, he could only swallow his anger for the time being. .
Jarod is not stupid. After Maiev's reminder, he also realized that the atmosphere before the war was not right, which was obviously not conducive to the upcoming decisive battle.
"Cough~"
He gently helped Shandis to sit aside. Jarod, whose face was still a little red, coughed lightly and deliberately said with a straight face: "Let's get down to business. Let's stop chatting. Let's get back to business..."
…
As soon as the meeting ended, Sharlayan pulled Stellagosa, Valeela, and Jaina away, despite Maiev's admiration and Jarod's resentful eyes.
"I'm going to check on Oni's injury! Jarod, I'll leave the final preparations for the battle to you!"
Jarod, who had always had a gentle personality, looked at Sarlayan's back with a rare expression of gritted teeth.
"You can run fast! I want to see how long you can escape. This matter is not over yet!"
Maiev chuckled like a blossoming iron tree and patted Jarod on the shoulder: "Okay, this matter can't be entirely blamed on Sarlayan. Sarah Hill took the initiative to ask him to do this before."
"……ha?!"
Jarod turned to look at his sister with a confused look on his face: "You... what are all this? Why are you all expecting me to cheat? It's because I've been out of touch with the world for too long and can't keep up with the times. Has it changed?"
…
After a brief happy moment, the coalition officers whose tension was relieved returned to the troops under their command.
Their relaxed mood also infected the soldiers in their respective armies, and a potential crisis disappeared.
Sarlayan originally thought that Archimonde would immediately launch an offensive after reaching the top of the mountain, but the development of the situation was somewhat different from what he predicted.
Instead of launching an attack immediately, Archimonde released all existing Legion spies.
After Valeela and Maiev each led intelligence personnel from the Alliance and Night Elves to attack and intercept, Sarlayan stood thoughtfully on the city wall and looked at the demon army camp not far away.
"The scouts are increasing their detection intensity at this time. Could it be that... Archimonde noticed something? And who is giving him advice?"
