Titus Rivendell is the contemporary Baron Rivendell. He contracted a strange disease that was difficult to cure when he was very young.
Driven by his survival instinct, Titus accepted the invitation of Kel'Thuzad, whose moral values were completely different from those of normal people, and gradually transformed himself into an undead.
In order to leave descendants for the Rivendell family, the frail Titus married a wife and had children before officially becoming an undead.
It wasn't until his son grew up and there was no longer any risk of dying that he would let go of his worries and transform into the undead together with his wife Anastari.
However, the irony is that the instigator of the separation movement of the undead and the living that is causing an uproar in Stratholme City happens to be Titus's son - Oryx Rivendell.
According to the information obtained by Backlight Blade, there is obviously the official shadow of Lordaeron behind Oryx.
It should have been that Queen Calia, who was sitting in the palace, promised the still living Oryx some favorable terms that he could not refuse, which made him take the initiative to stand up against his father who had long been transformed into an undead.
"Oryx Rivendell..."
Speaking of this young man who was not yet 20 years old, Sarlayan asked Valeela thoughtfully: "Is this little kid because the conditions given by Lordaeron are too generous, or because he cannot accept that his parents are Only the undead take the initiative to jump back?"
Valeela shrugged: "Who knows, Oryx didn't express his thoughts clearly."
"However, he did give Quel'Thalas a promise. If he could drive away the undead led by Titus and Anastari, he was willing to continue the family tradition of friendship between Rivendell and Quel'Thalas. "
"Ha~"
Sarlayan tapped the table with his fingers meaningfully: "Does he mean that he wants us not to get involved in it?"
Valeera: "Maybe so. What do you think of his statement?"
"I sit and watch." Sarlayan waved his hand indifferently: "Since Oryx has made this promise, whoever wins the final victory in this internal conflict will not cause any harm to Quel'Thalas. Whatever the impact, let them be."
Valeera said with a half-smile: "Isn't it because you care about Calia's face?"
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "What's the matter with Caliya? You don't think I'm a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters, do you?"
Valeera smiled noncommittally: "It's just a joke. In short, it will take some time for the teacher to come back after the situation in Stratholme gradually becomes clearer. Do you have any special arrangements during this period?" "
"No~"
Saryan pointed at the large number of drawings covering the entire desk and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I will have to live and eat at the National Defense Weapons Research Institute recently. I need to finalize these ideas that I don't know whether they can be realized as soon as possible."
Valeera also heard about the terrifying impact of the Direhorn Legion from Stellagosa. Although her overall view was not as keen as Sharlayan's, she could guess why he wanted it so urgently after a little thought. Develop new weapons of war.
Nothing more than feeling the threat from Zandalari.
After years of hard work by Sharlayan and Kael'thas both internally and externally, there are no more than three countries in Azeroth that can be equal to or even better than Quel'Thalas in terms of national power. number.
Needless to say, the Republic of Dark Night, this old powerhouse with profound heritage is still firmly in the first place.
And ranked second is Zandalari, which has a large number of demigod Loa.
Since Zandalar's strength mainly relies on external forces, it is impossible for them to dispatch all Loa to attack the enemy at once, and the level of combat power fluctuates a bit.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron, which was once the leader of the Eastern Kingdom, experienced a significant decline in population and national strength after civil war and natural disasters.
Sharlayan is not sure which one is stronger, Quel'Thalas or Lordaeron. Anyway, the national power of the two is about the same.
After these two indistinguishable countries, there is the sea kingdom of Kul Tiras, which has eaten a lot of meat with Quel'Thalas, and Khaz Modan, who has just united three tribes and has the full support of the dwarves. .
Lordaeron is pretty good here. Due to the deep personal relationship between Sharlayan and Queen Calia, at least while Calia is still the queen, Lordaeron is unlikely to have a large-scale conflict with Quel'Thalas.
Sarlayan also considered this reason and spent all his energy to grant the blessing of life that would extend Calia's life.
As for the night elves... despite the fact that the two sides have cooperated quite happily in recent major events, the people of both sides are still full of hostility and prejudice against each other due to historical issues left over thousands of years ago. However, the high-level relations between the two countries are still good. Not bad.
As the saying goes, public opinion is hard to disobey. If the conflicts between the people of both sides accumulate to a critical point, as the helmsmen of the country, Kael'thas and Malfurion may not be able to hold on to the reins of the roar. .
Sharlayan sincerely hopes that the day when Quel'Thalas and the Night Republic will go to war will not come. This is undoubtedly the worst situation that will make the loved ones hate and the enemies happy.
At this stage, the most suitable person to be the imaginary enemy of Quel'Thalas is undoubtedly the Zandalari, who are clearly hostile to the elves.
Having just suffered a heavy loss on the battlefield, Sarlayan would not sit back and let the same situation happen again.
Before encountering the next attack from the Direhorn Legion or even the Devilsaur Legion, Quel'Thalas must come up with effective countermeasures.
This time the local war was only fought with Zandalari's agent Dakkar. Even if the issue of Loa was not considered, the quality of Zandalari soldiers was far superior to that of Dakkar. We cannot relax our vigilance in this regard before a formal conflict occurs.
Valeela was not surprised by Sarlayan's decision. She knew that her man was a restless person, and even if he stayed in the country to engage in internal affairs, he would not let her lie down and let herself go.
"Okay, then during this period I will stay in the territory to take care of daily affairs for you, and by the way, I will help take care of Little Xingxing to recover from her injuries as soon as possible."
…
Sarlayan only rested at home for three days after returning from Northrend.
After Onyxia returned home from playing in Silvermoon City, Sharlayan confirmed from her that Nefarian had not had any contact recently, and then he left home with a large volume of blueprints and headed for Silvermoon City with peace of mind.
"Ah this..."
At the Ministry of National Defense Weapons Research Institute, the researchers who were fishing in the office were all numb when they saw Sarlayan walking in with a sharp look.
A senior researcher with gray hair on his temples asked with a wry smile: "Duke Shenying, we have just submitted the results of the magic machine gun. Don't you have another fantastic idea?"
"Snapped!"
Sarlayan spread out the drawings in his hands and slapped them on the table with a cheerful expression: "Valant, congratulations, you got the answer right. Guys, be prepared to work overtime."
"Oh no!"
There was a wailing sound in the Weapons Research Institute, which had been in a relaxed atmosphere before.
To put it bluntly, the working atmosphere at the Weapons Research Institute is relatively positive in Quel'Thalas. After all, the Immortals' time concept and work efficiency... can only be said to be understood by everyone.
However, compared with Sarlayan, who never lets himself take a break, the working conditions of these researchers seem a bit lazy.
Valante, the director of the Weapons Research Institute, waved helplessly to the boys behind him: "Okay, don't howl here, the fishing time is over, let's start working."
Valante took the initiative to set an example and randomly picked a piece from a large stack of drawings and took it out to look at. A look of surprise quickly appeared on his face: "This is... a single-soldier vehicle?"
The drawing Valante got was a military motorcycle drawn by Sarlayan based on the description of the barrage.
Compared with conventional four-wheeled vehicles with people covered with iron, Valanter feels very unsafe with two-wheeled motorcycles with people covered with iron.
But as the leader of the research institute, Valante's professional knowledge is undoubtedly excellent. He can see at a glance that two-wheeled motorcycles are more flexible than four-wheeled vehicles.
Moreover, Sarlayan also drew different types of frames next to the main body of the motorcycle on the drawing, and even drew a stick figure holding a magic gun inside the frame.
"Hmm...interesting."
Sarlayan's drawings aroused Valant's interest. He walked to the side with the drawings and muttered professional vocabulary that outsiders could not understand, as if to verify the feasibility of the drawings.
"Pop!"
Sarlayan clapped his hands and interrupted the researchers who started discussing among themselves after looking over the drawings.
"Don't rush into action yet, just look over here."
Sarlayan pulled out the one with a tank from the pile of drawings: "Although we were not defeated in the Battle of Zul'Drak this time, our frontline soldiers really suffered a lot from the impact of Zandalari's Direhorn Legion. .”
"The top priority is that we must first develop a heavy unit that can counter the enemy."
"This steel chariot is what I recently imagined. I call it a tank."
"For at least the next month, you will put aside your research on other drawings and concentrate on verifying the feasibility of this tank drawing. We will strive to perfect the drawing as soon as possible and produce the first version of the finished product for testing."
"Everyone, this is related to whether Quel'Thalas can take the initiative on the battlefield in the future, so please treat it with caution."
