On the island of Quel'Danas, there is one thing that the high elves rely on for survival and cherish the most. It is called: the Sunwell! It is the most important source of magic for the high elves!
The Sunwell is a source of powerful magical energy that covers the entire Quel'Thalas region. It was created by the ancestors of the high elves using Illidan Stormrage to steal a bottle of Well of Eternity water from the Well of Eternity. made.
About 6,800 years before the Dark Portal opened, the High Elves who had been exiled by the Night Elves came here. They occupied this place they called Quel'Thalas and named themselves High Elves to honor their The difference from night elves! Then, they built this special magic well and began to build their own glorious magic civilization!
Under the nearly infinite supply of magical power from the Sunwell, the high elves who came to Azeroth have been greatly strengthened. Therefore, they are near the north of Quel'Thalas and near Quel'Dana. They built their main city on Si Island: Silver Moon City.
As their power grew, they enchanted the Eversong Forest, bathing them in eternal spring. Elf mages built so-called "rune stones" on the border of Quel'Thalas - these huge stones formed a magic shield, allowing the elves' magic to be hidden behind this magic shield to escape coveters from outside the world. , at the same time, they can also protect the land from invasion.
Except for a high-intensity war with the Amani trolls about 2,800 years ago, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas has almost never had a major war in the past three thousand years! As for the war where the orcs attacked Quel'Thalas and poached the rune stones more than ten years ago, it could only be regarded as a low-intensity local war, and the high elves did not suffer much losses at that time.
And now, after countless years of peace, Quel'Thalas is finally about to usher in an all-out war that affects almost all high elves!
The enemy of their elves this time is a huge and boundless army of undead that is fearless of death, and the target of their undead is the most cherished treasure of their high elves: the Well of the Sun!
Therefore, now on the island of Quel'Danas, countless high elf elite rangers, royal guards, a large number of spellbreakers, and high-level mages are waiting in full formation! They plan to give the undead who dare to peek at their elf treasures a good look right here!
The current king of the high elves is Anastarian Sunstrider, and the first human king of the high elves, the pioneer Dath'Remar Sunstrider, is his great-grandfather. Anastarian ascended the throne as king at the end of the Troll War, and it was he who signed a contract with the human Kingdom of Arathor that was able to defeat the arrogant Amani Troll at the time!
But now, the old covenant has become dilapidated. When the high elves are facing the undead natural disaster, it is finally time for him to swallow the evil consequences he planted! Facing the threat of the undead, their elves can only resist alone without any help from the alliance! After all, he was the first to break the covenant!
On the platform of a magical tower in the Sunwell Plateau, King Anastarian was discussing with his ministers the details of the defense of Quel'Danas.
On the platform above this magic tower, in addition to King Anastarian on the main throne, there are also all the members of the Silvermoon City Council sitting below. Most of them are high-level mages. It can be said that, Most of the elite combat forces of the high elves have been concentrated on this island!
"Your Majesty, according to the previous intelligence from the Dragon Eagle scouts in Silvermoon City, the Death Knight and his undead army did not go north to Silvermoon City, but went west to the Western Temple, with unknown intentions!" A councilman said. The previous intelligence was released and began to be read to the king and other councilors.
"The intelligence also said that Ranger General Sylvanas seemed to have received help from a powerful human mage. The mage set off a fire that burned down the main road leading to Silvermoon City. The continuous fire made the undead unable to escape. Without changing their route, this may be the reason why they headed to the Western Temple."
"Well... I believe you have all felt the magic fluctuations in the south of Yongge Forest. This level of magic power is almost as powerful as yours working together to cast a large-scale legion strategic spell! If you weren't all here, I I even thought that your mage group secretly went to help the little girl from the Windrunner family release a large-scale rain of fire? Alas...! I just can't figure out when the short-lived human race will appear again. Got such a powerful mage?"
Anastarian, who was sitting in the main seat, sighed, and finally shook his head. He couldn't figure this out! He didn't know why, but such a powerful mage suddenly appeared to help them high elves!
This is unreasonable! You know, the relationship between the high elves and the human Alliance of Lordaeron is very tense now, especially not long after the Second Orc War ended, he, Anastarian, was the first to find fault and took the lead in withdrawing from Lordaeron. After the Danlun Alliance...
"Tell me, why does this powerful human mage come to help us in Quel'Thalas? What does she want from us?"
This is what Anastarian cares about most! Having been a king for almost three thousand years, his political sense is extremely sensitive! So, when he saw a human being running over to help him, the first thing he thought of was: The person who came here is evil! The other party must be hoping to get something from the high elf!
"Your Majesty, I may have some different views." An old mage from the Silver Moon Council stood up. After seeing that the king had no objection, he continued.
"After my observation and detection, the fire in the southern part of Yongge Forest can only be released by at least a master who specializes in flame magic at Legend level, and it also requires a lot of preparation time! But the intelligence said again , the other party only completed the spell casting in a short period of time. If this is the case, then he must at least have the strength of a demigod! But as far as I know, the only human demigod seems to have that mysterious mention. The guardian of Risfa Council - Medivh! But he seems to have been killed by their own humans a long time ago! Human beings should have no guardians now! So..."
Having said this, the old congressman took a breath and looked around at the other congressmen who were having private discussions after hearing his words, as well as the king who was silent and thoughtful.
"Please go on." Anastarian seemed to have thought of something and raised his hand, indicating that he could continue.
"So, I am very suspicious! The little human girl who came to help us in Quel'Thalas, she may not be human at all! Moreover, I believe you should have seen what is written in the intelligence. How could there be an eight-year-old girl? Human demigod mages left and right? This is simply ridiculous! Absolutely impossible!"
Anyway, this old congressman absolutely does not believe that humans have eight-year-old demigod mage! Their original magic knowledge was taught to them by the high elves!
The old congressman himself was one of the special envoys who went to the Kingdom of Thoradin to teach humans magic, so when he saw the information for the first time, he felt that it must be a bad joke! There's no way that little girl is human!
Although the old congressman also admitted that the magical attainments of some humans were even close to catching up with the high elves. For example, Antonidas of Dalaran did indeed surpass the high elves in some arcane attainments. However, that is just a special case! He definitely didn't believe that an eight-year-old human girl could reach or even exceed this level! If such a thing really happened, wouldn't his thousands of years of life have been in vain?
"So, Your Excellency, do you think that powerful little mage is...?" A young councilor finally asked after discussing with the people around him.
"I believe you all should know that according to records, the guardian dragons endowed with powerful and mysterious powers by the Titans can transform into any race at will! Whether they are humans, elves, or dwarfs. So. , now the true identity of the little human girl who still stays in Silver Moon City is open to question."
After saying this, the old congressman nodded and sat down. He had finished everything he needed to say, and now he had to take a break! After all, he is thousands of years old.
"That's right! In that case, it makes sense! I also know that some ancient dragons are particularly good at fire magic. If the fire was caused by a giant dragon, it wouldn't be too strange!" The young congressman After agreeing, other council members nodded in agreement with this guess.
"Okay! This issue ends here! Regardless of whether the other party is a human or a dragon, at least so far, she is here to help us in Quel'Thalas resist the undead. This is enough, let's not discuss it anymore! Let's start! Let’s move on to the next topic.”
Anastarian also nodded, generally agreeing with the old congressman's speculation. Since the mysterious and powerful mage is here to help the elves, let's wait until the war is over! No matter what she is or what she wants, when the time comes, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas will show enough sincerity to repay this kindness.
"Your Majesty the King, here is also a report against the ranger general Sylvanas by the high-ranking mage Ferendre who stayed in Silvermoon City. Do you want it?" After passing the topic just now, another congressman stood up, and then He was holding a secret letter with a clay seal in his hand, and he didn't know whether he should read it out now.
"Ha! Interesting! Then you might as well drive it out and have a look. Let's all give it a listen." At this time, it's really rare to hear someone complaining about the highest officer stationed in Silver Moon City. Ah King Nastarian almost laughed out of anger!
"Yes! Your Majesty. Uh..., the letter said that when Ranger General Sylvanas took over the city defense, she issued an emergency recruitment without anyone's consent or any discussion with the remaining officials. The order, and..." After opening the letter and reading the content behind it, the congressman was slightly surprised before continuing to read.
"And at the same time, she issued a city-wide mobilization order, and she prepared all the citizens for a large-scale evacuation..."
"What?!"
"How can this be done? Who gave her this right?"
"What a mess! Is she going to abandon Silvermoon City? Is she crazy?"
"Alas! The little girl from the Windrunner family is really messing around this time! She's so confused!"
"this……"
"..."
Before King Anastarian had time to express his opinion, the councilors below started arguing among themselves. Some refuted the Ranger General for overstepping her authority, some clamored to send someone to seize her command right away, and even made suggestions. Of course, there were also those who planned to defend her, but their defense words seemed a bit weak.
"..."
King Anastarian didn't say anything. He just half-closed his eyes and half-smiled, allowing the councilors below to quarrel. No one knew what the king was thinking.
"Okay! Shut up! This matter will be put aside for now and will be discussed after the threat of the undead has passed! Next time..."
Waving his hand, Anastarian did not plan to take any action against Ranger General Sylvanas now. After all, changing generals on the spot is a taboo for military strategists!
Moreover, among the high elves in Quel'Thalas, only the little girl from the Windrunner family has resisted the invasion of the undead from the first gate. Overall, she has done a pretty good job!
Among the high elves in the entire Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, she is probably the only one who knows the most about the undead, right? Anastarian believed that there was probably a reason why she had to do what she did, so let's put this matter aside for the time being!
"Your Majesty, the following is a question about material reserves. Now on the island of Quel'Danas..." When another congressman in charge of logistics was about to start reporting on the details of the material reserves, an intelligence officer hurriedly started from He ran up the spiral staircase of the tower at high speed.
"Your Majesty the King! Sylvanas Ranger General sent Dragonhawk Scouts to send urgent information: The undead army created an ice bridge on the sea out of thin air. Hundreds of thousands of undead army had set off from the Western Temple and was destroyed in less than an hour. They have arrived at Sunstrider Island, and now they are preparing to go north to Quel'Danas Island, and the general wants us to prepare early!"
"..."
"Ridiculous! Returning the Ice Bridge? Bah! Are you a spy? Dare to pass on false information? Do you know how far the bay of the Western Temple is from Sun Chaser Island? No one can build such a long bridge out of thin air! We Not even the mages! Not to mention that human prince! Is he still a knight?"
As soon as the intelligence officer finished speaking, and everyone was silent for a while, a grumpy congressman came out and spat on his face on the spot!
In this congressman's view, no one can build an ice bridge from the bay of the Western Temple that can provide hundreds of thousands of undead passage! That is not the power that mortals should have at all!
In fact, not only this grumpy congressman, but also other congressmen looked at the intelligence officer who was half kneeling on the ground with suspicion or frowned. The news he brought was indeed a bit outrageous!
"Your Majesty, I suggest that this intelligence officer be interrogated! He..." The hot-tempered congressman was about to propose to the king, but was interrupted by the king raising his hand.
"No need to argue! He didn't lie! Because, they are already here!"
King Anastarian suddenly stood up from the high platform of the throne and looked seriously at the beach on the horizon in the distance! You can see it very clearly from the platform of this high tower! There, a huge ice bridge suddenly formed on the beach!
Many high-ranking members also noticed the abnormality. They stood up from their positions one by one, with shock on their faces, and looked at the distant coast with incredible eyes. The sea water there was instantly frozen into solid ice! Actually, is there really an ice bridge?
The direction it connects to is obviously Zhuri Island! The Sea of the Undead can really build a frost bridge from Sun Chaser Island to here! In the distance of the bridge, countless undead were surging along the bridge. They were like black ink, gradually crowding the white ice bridge, and then rushed along the bridge towards the Island of Quel'Danas. The direction is dyed black little by little! They're about to land!
quick! They came so fast!
Anastarian sighed, the dragonhawk knights had just conveyed the news with their front legs, and they were coming with their back legs! No more time to react! Don't these undead really need to rest?
"Get ready to fight..."
