Despite all the reluctance, the green-headed monster in the end...oh, no, it was Archdruid Malfurion. In the end, he reluctantly led the team under the surveillance of a large group of Flame Alliance air forces. Their group of night elves returned to their secret landing point on the west coast of Silverpine Forest. After dismantling the camp, they all boarded the ship and returned to the continent of Kalimdor to the west of them.
Things have reached this point, and they can't even think about leaving.
Because, according to the information revealed in a few words by the humans of the Flame Alliance, after the seemingly powerful Flame Alliance fully captured the ground area of the King's City of Lordaeron, the Alliance Air Force had nothing to do, except for a few who were still there. Except for patrolling around Lordaeron, most of the others were ordered by the worried Grand Marshal to go directly south, flying over the huge Lake Lordaeron to support the group of high-ranking Alliance officials and the three kings who were heading south to the ruins of Dalaran. .
Therefore, when Malfurion and Tyrande were hesitating whether to take action forcefully, they saw the large group of Alliance air forces to the north, at least tens of thousands, which seemed to cover the sky and the sun. They had to quickly The emperor gave in and ordered the entire army to retreat.
Illidan on Naga's side was even more straightforward. When the Air Force of the Flame Alliance had just appeared on the northern skyline, he took the initiative to stop the magic ritual and ordered Naga. The murlocs put away their weapons, indicating that they had no intention of becoming enemies of the Flame Alliance.
This time, Malfurion and Tyrande came to the Eastern Kingdom in response to Maiev's request for help. This was a somewhat hasty operation and did not go well.
Not only did the night elves fail to capture Illidan this time, but they were also hostile to a powerful Flame Alliance because at the beginning, Malfurion acted as if he wanted to die and ordered archers to attack the Queen of Fire who had driven them away... …
This time, they crossed the sea and came to the Eastern Kingdom. The only gain, apart from knowing the power distribution of the Flame Alliance here, was perhaps that they could only prevent Illidan's ritual of destroying the planet, and this was the only thing that could give them some comfort. . After all, no matter what, they didn't come in vain this time, right?
So, in the end, Malfurion could only lead his troops and sail away with the night elves in despair, taking with him the newly acquired title of the antlered green-headed monster, and the one who was still gnashing his teeth. Warden Maiev, still cursing Illidan and reluctant to leave.
…
In the evening of the day when the night elves withdrew in embarrassment, the Fire Alliance's army completely captured the entire original royal capital of Lordaeron, wiping out the chaotic undead scourges and a small number of demons who were fighting on their own.
This huge human city, including the maze-like underground city dug out by the undead on its two underground floors, was all cleaned up by the coalition forces.
When getting ready for nightfall, in the entire ruins of Lordaeron, except for the bones, rotting corpses and charred broken walls on the ground, there was no undead or demon that could continue to move.
While the fighting on the ruins of Lordaeron has ceased and the battlefield has begun to be cleaned, underground, the cleanup of the undead has also come to an end.
Especially when Mograine, who was holding the Ashbringer, led a group of Paladins as the vanguard. Under their powerful attack, the commandos of the Flame Alliance quickly attacked the dark and damp underground city dug out by the undead. The last hall.
After the Paladins easily purified some of the elite remaining undead led by an unknown death knight, they were finally able to see clearly the specific situation in this underground hall.
In the middle of this dark hall, there was a huge arched building that was blown into several sections. Although the main part of it was almost destroyed, the big guys from all races could vaguely tell based on the remaining runes and magic circuits on it that it should be a portal.
"Ahhh...what a pity! We let them run away again. It's all those green-headed monsters' fault!"
On the second underground floor of Lordaeron, in this spacious underground hall, when she saw the destroyed teleportation gate here, little Annie knew that the teleportation fluctuation she sensed here in Dalaran must be this one. A large portal came out.
Therefore, she now directly placed all the blame on those night elves.
Who asked them to waste so much of her time? Otherwise, if she could come back early, she might be able to catch that hateful undead knight in time!
According to the rough statistics of Lordaeron's Grand Marshal Garithos, combined with the size of the dungeon and the number of remaining undead, the results show that this large portal has been open for a short period of time, probably teleporting away. Killed nearly 60,000 to 70,000 elite undead! In this siege battle, the Flame Alliance coalition finally eliminated only about two to three hundred thousand undead, and a considerable part of them were just existences like those fish, zombies, skeletons or ghouls.
"Her Majesty Queen Anne, what should we do now? Where does this portal lead to? Should we continue to send troops to pursue it?"
The Generalissimo looked at the closed portal in front of him, feeling a little unsure.
He didn't know where the undead and Arthas had teleported to, nor what was going on on the other side of the portal. Therefore, it is necessary to ask Queen Anne who is proficient in magic. She is also a demigod after all. This kind of thing should not be difficult for her, right? This is her specialty!
Now in the hall on the second underground floor of Lordaeron, a group of high-ranking officials from the Flame Alliance began to gradually gather after clearing away the undead in other places. Therefore, now in this huge hall, there are a large number of elite guards from all races gathered. , could only stare at the destroyed portal.
Therefore, Garithos planned to ask the cute leader of the alliance, their Majesty Queen Anne, what to do next? Where did the enemy go? Should we try to repair and open the portal, and then continue to send troops to pursue the enemy?
"We must chase them! We must not let these damn undead spirits wreak havoc in our territory of the Flame Alliance. Maybe, when we are not paying attention, they will rise again!"
Before Little Annie could speak, Falstad Wildhammer, the High Lord of the Wildhammer Dwarf of Eagle's Nest Mountain, waved his warhammer and shouted loudly. He actually didn't know much about whether the undead could run away or where they had gone. care.
He only knows that this glorious battle to annihilate the undead natural disaster, from the beginning of the Western Plaguelands to the capture of Lordaeron, is about to enter the final stage, but from the beginning to the end, he has not been able to personally Have you ever fought the undead?
Previously, when heading south to Dalaran, when confronting the night elves and naga, the three parties failed to fight. The night elves gave up when they saw their air force appearing. Falstad is still very unhappy now. !
If we don't pursue the situation this time, we will probably declare the end of the war immediately. If this is the case, Falstad will be completely fooled this time!
If he returns to Eagle's Nest Mountain another day and the elders ask him how many undead he has killed, do they want him to say: He has no chance to do it at all? How could he say this? In this battle, he didn't get any bragging rights, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Perhaps, the death knight and the lich are still hiding somewhere in the northern kingdom. Therefore, I suggest: continue to send troops to chase those undead and make sure to eliminate them!"
Although the High Lord Falstad Wildhammer doesn't know what it is to chase down the enemy with the remaining brave men, and not to imitate the verses of the Overlord, he still knows another point, and that is: to deal with the undead natural disaster, you must die. Beat him inside and kill him! Only undead souls that are completely dead and unable to move are good undead souls!
"Well said, Lord Falstad is right! We should never let the executioner of Alsace go so easily! What if they continue to spread the plague in various countries again? Therefore, I also agree to send troops to pursue them. , we must completely eliminate those culprits!"
Just as the bearded dwarf lord finished speaking, Queen Sylvanas also stood up and spoke.
In addition to the people of Lordaeron who were the worst killed, perhaps the high elves of Quel'Thalas were the ones who hated Arthas.
After all, last year, the high elves were almost defeated by the undead natural disaster and their country was wiped out. Even in the later years, many people were saved by Anne and survived, but now, the remaining high elves are probably less than a quarter of what they were in their heyday, right?
How could she, Sylvanas, let that scoundrel Alsace escape so easily when she had such a vengeance that almost reached the level of annihilation? Therefore, unlike Falstad who only wants to find the undead to kill, she, Sylvanas, really wants to pursue and completely eliminate all the undead! Of course, the death knight Arthas cannot be missing!
"I also agree to pursue the undead. I believe everyone knows that the speed of the undead natural disasters and their terrible death plagues, once spread again, can cause too much damage! Therefore, we must not Let them regain their strength."
After Dathrohan talked with a group of Silver Hand paladins for a while, he also nodded in favor of the pursuit suggestion.
They all know that once the undead are allowed to recover and spread the plague again in the northern kingdom, the natural disasters of the undead may spread again in the lands of humans, dwarves or high elves in the northern kingdom. They cannot withstand it now. It’s time to struggle again.
This matter cannot be prevented. Only by beating Arthas, Kel'Thuzad, and their never-seen Lich King master Ner'zhul to death with a stick and purifying them thoroughly can we put an end to it once and for all. The possibility of the undead natural disaster breaking out again!
"Chasing, chasing, chasing after nothing!"
Seeing that these laymen didn't understand anything and kept clamoring to chase the undead, little Annie got angry!
"You have all seen it! This portal has been destroyed by the undead themselves! And the other one that matches it is far away, on another continent across the north of the sea!"
Little Annie angrily pointed at the large portal in front of her that had been blown into several pieces by the undead. It was obvious that this was the work of the undead to prevent their Fire Alliance troops from using it to pursue.
Moreover, Annie was sure that the other matching portal at the end of the teleportation, as long as the undead were not stupid, would have been blown up together! The thing in front of them would be useless even if they worked hard to repair it!
"If you really want to chase after it, it's actually very easy! Build your own ships, build many, many ships, and then transport all your soldiers to the north, to the continent where the specific location is unknown, and then Then, you may be able to find those undead souls!"
Anyway, little Annie would never go to great lengths to help them drive such a long-distance teleportation across the ocean.
For ultra-long-distance teleportation like this, if it only involves teleporting 800 Qian'er soldiers, it might not be a big problem, and it's still within her capabilities. Who is little Annie? She is a powerful demigod!
But if she were asked to teleport a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Fire Alliance army, she wouldn't be able to do it even if she was exhausted! In that case, they might as well just build ships and transport troops!
"Uh...can't you just open a portal like you did when you went to Dalaran? Then we can just rush over there in a swarm?"
The dwarf lord Falstad still asked a little unwillingly.
Now, the Flame Alliance has been preparing for several months, been busy for a long time, and fought for nearly a month. In the end, they actually watched the undead and natural disasters go to another continent to live happily? Even he, a bearded dwarf with a simple and honest appearance, always felt a little reluctant.
"If you really want to chase them, I can open a portal and send a thousand or two thousand people there for you. Are you sure you want to chase them?"
This bearded guy actually wants her to open the portal? How far is it from Dalaran to here? How far is it from the northern continent?
ha! If this bearded dwarf really wanted to pursue him, little Annie felt that she could satisfy him.
She could really open an ultra-long-distance portal, but...she couldn't guarantee how long it would last. After all, it took a lot of magic power! So, she just opened the door, but in the end, she didn't care whether they could get through a thousand people or two thousand people.
"Only one, one or two thousand people? Well... I think it's better for us to let those undead go for now."
Falstad wiped his nose carelessly and gave up the idea of pursuing him.
Although the dwarves are a bit honest, they are not stupid. Now, let him lead one or two thousand people to chase down at least tens of thousands of elite undead? What's the use of a few people? That's not a pursuit at all, that's called sending someone's head thousands of miles away!
"Annie, don't we have any other options?"
Sylvanas still asked without giving up, and at the same time, she bitterly broke a long arrow in her hand in half. She felt filled with fire when she thought that the undead had now escaped the siege of their army and were able to continue to exist on another continent.
"Of course! And it's very simple!"
"Build a ship, transport some soldiers and mages to explore the northern continent, measure the spatial coordinates, and then exchange coordinates between the two sides, and build a teleportation gate at the same time. By then, as long as there is enough energy, you can also teleport directly like the escaped undead. The army passed by!"
Without thinking, Annie directly told what the undead had just done.
As long as there is plenty of energy, and you build teleportation gates on both sides at the same time, it will be just like the Dark Gate or the Flame Gate of the fire element. How many armies do you want to teleport there? Isn’t it just a game?
At most, it will only consume a lot of expensive magic materials and a lot of energy.
"Forget it, it's so troublesome, why not just build a ship and transport troops there!"
Falstad muttered something, picked up his war hammer and turned around to leave.
He also knows that building a teleportation gate is very expensive, let alone building a teleportation gate that can allow 200,000 troops to pass through! Rather than that, it might be more economical to just build a ship directly.
Besides, although their current Fire Alliance looks glamorous, except for the Fire Kingdom and their Eagle's Nest Mountain, which still have strength and have not been affected much by the undead natural disaster, the rest, whether it is the Kingdom of Lordaeron or Quill, In the Salas Kingdom, they are already in a semi-disabled state.
Now, when they need time to recuperate and regain their strength, how can they find so much manpower and material resources to prepare for an expedition across the sea to another continent?
Falstad has already made a calculation. He feels that if they, Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron, want to launch another expedition within three to five years, there will only be two words: no chance!
"Humph! This is really a bit unwilling!"
Sylvanas was also a little annoyed. Sure enough, it was all those low-level people and the night elves who were to blame!
If they hadn't caused the mess in Dalaran, maybe Arthas and Kel'Thuzad wouldn't have been able to escape so easily! Even if he ran away in the end, he would never be able to take away so many elite undead!
"Then what should we do now? Just let the undead run away?"
After listening to their discussion for a while, Dathrohan and the other paladins looked at each other a little bit.
The armies of the four nations of the Flame Alliance launched this massive battle that spanned and covered most of the northern continent. However, in the end, it ended up with neither top nor bottom? This is a little different from what I expected at the beginning.
"What else can I do? Cold! Anyway, I have to go back to bed first. You can take care of the rest by yourself!"
After seeing that she had nothing to do, little Annie waved her hands irresponsibly, and quickly opened a portal leading to the officialdom of the Palace of Fire City, and then walked in first, followed closely behind her. It's the thousand elite fire demon royal guards.
These fire monsters are the guards responsible for the queen's safety.
Now that their Majesty the Queen is going back, of course they have to follow her. Otherwise, they would have to crawl back to the Fire City in the eastern region bit by bit overland. This is a journey spanning half of the continent and nearly half a month... Where can I follow the Queen directly now? Is it faster to go through the portal?
"Okay, that's it. This is the only thing we can do now!"
After watching little Annie enter the portal and disappear, Grand Marshal Garithos turned his head and said to the heads of state of Quel'Thalas and Eagle's Nest Mountain and other generals who were still stranded here.
"Now, our Flame Alliance's battle against the Undead Scourge has basically come to an end. Everyone has worked hard! Let's go to the palace castle above to prepare to count the results and discuss the follow-up aftermath."
This huge and dark underground hall is obviously not an ideal place for a meeting. Therefore, Grand Marshal Garithos planned to let everyone return to the ground first. Fortunately, the original palace of Lordaeron was still damaged. It's not too serious. I'll send someone to repair it when the time comes, and it's probably still usable.
From today on, this city of Lordaeron named after the kingdom, this huge human city, has once again returned to the hands of the new Kingdom of Lordaeron! From now on, this place will still be the capital of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but it will still need a long period of cleaning and purification. In addition, facilities dug out by the undead underground also require long-term transformation. This is obviously not a small project that can be completed in three or two years.
After the battle against the Undead Scourge was finally declared over by the Grand Marshal, the group of them began to whisper to each other, either relaxedly or anxiously, preparing to return to the ground and hold a meeting to deal with other matters that followed.
Now, the city of Lordaeron has been conquered, but there are still many undead and demons scattered in Silverpine Forest, Gilneas, Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Hills. That is enough to keep the Flame Alliance busy for a long time.
"Your Majesty the Queen, there is a demon hunter named Illidan and several Nagas on the shores of Lake Lordamre in the south. They said that they have something very important to ask to see you."
When the group of people came to the surface from the underground entrance, the high elf Lor'themar led a high elf ranger scout and hurried to Sylvanas' side.
He first nodded apologetically to the surprised humans and dwarves next to him, then went directly to their side, Queen Sylvanas, and reported in a low voice.
"Illidan? Is that the other group from Dalaran?"
Queen Sylvanas was stunned for a moment before asking Lor'themar. She doesn't remember her interactions with those half-demon or naga? What conspiracy do they have against me?
"I don't care if he is a half-demon, a hunter, or a bastard of the night, I have nothing to talk about with them! Gone!"
After confirming that it was the other group of monsters on the other side of Dalaran, Sylvanas, who was sitting on a fire, snorted dissatisfiedly, and then flatly refused the request for a meeting!
When she thought about it, if they hadn't been causing trouble in the south at night, how could they have let Alsace escape so easily? Now, they actually want to come and meet me? She is very busy right now, where can she find time to chat with that half-demon?
"Um...Your Majesty the Queen, I think you'd better take a look at this first!"
After Lor'themar carefully glanced at the humans and dwarves on the other side who were looking over curiously, he carefully handed Queen Sylvanas a small piece of parchment. On top of the parchment, There are just a few words written in the ancient writings of the high elves. Lor'themar believes that as long as Her Majesty the Queen sees these, she will definitely change her mind and meet that Illidan, she will!
"This is……"
Sure enough, when Sylvanas saw this ancient writing for the first time, she was stunned for a moment.
After all, after nearly ten thousand years of evolution, the grammar of the high elves and the current common language of Quel'Thalas have become very different in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and writing methods. However, although There was a big change, but as she came from the Windrunner family with a long history of family education, she could still barely recognize it.
"Where are they? Now, take me there right away!"
When Sylvanas struggled to understand the content on this small parchment, her pupils could not help but shrink slightly, and then she closed the parchment suddenly and ordered Lor'themar with a solemn face.
Because, what was written on that small piece of parchment was the origin of their Sunwell in Quel'Thalas! On it, there are a few words: Dath'Rema, the well water of the Well of Eternity, the Sun Well...
…
Azeroth's Dark Portal Twenty-one years ago, during the transition season between spring and summer in the northern hemisphere.
The Fire Alliance, headed by the Fire Kingdom, dispatched more than 200,000 coalition troops, together with more than 100,000 civilians transporting baggage, to merge the so-called 400,000-strong army, led by the Grand Marshal Garithus of the New Kingdom of Lordaeron, and launched an attack on the northern kingdom. The all-out offensive of the undead scourge and the remaining Burning Legion is generally called in history books: the Flame Alliance's first battle of revenge against the undead!
After the battle began, in less than a month, the Fire Alliance's nearly 200,000 troops marched directly to the city of Lordaeron, and captured the entire Lordaeron in the evening of that day, annihilating the undead Scourge and nearly three demons. More than 100,000. Arthas and Kel'Thuzad, the chief culprits of the Undead Scourge, led some undead to flee in confusion, and their whereabouts are still unknown... At this point, the power of the Undead Scourge in the northern kingdom was declared destroyed by the Flame Alliance the next month!
Shortly after the battle, under the introduction and recommendation of Queen Sylvanas of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the Demon Hunter and the more than 100,000 powerful Deep Sea Naga and Murloc tribes he led officially joined the Flame Alliance. , and became the fifth member of the Flame Alliance, providing tens of thousands of the most powerful navy to the Alliance Legion, supplementing the shortcomings of the Flame Alliance's serious lack of naval strength!
At the end of the summer of that year, the Alliance of Fire not only completely captured all of the northern continent including Gilneas, Silverpine Forest, Hillsbrad Foothills and Arathi Highlands, but also forcefully expelled the Kingdom of Stormwind and Ironforge. A camp established in Nanhai Town on the northern continent.
At this point, a super alliance with a huge territory, capturing all the land in the northern continent, strong strength, and diverse races, finally shocked the entire Azeroth!
This incident is also called by those who have done little trouble. This is another major event that can be recorded in the history of Azeroth after the destruction of the Burning Legion on Mount Hyjal!
At the end of the summer of the same year, the orcs, trolls, tauren, some quilboars who migrated to Kalimdor, as well as the undead who gained free will for unknown reasons and remained in Kalimdor, became more and more popular among the night elves. Under severe oppression, the orc leader Thrall took the lead and formally formed a new alliance called the Horde, with the intention of fighting against the oppression of the night elves in Kalimdor and gaining the right to survive.
At almost the same time, the night elves, who had lost the Well of Eternity and the ability to live forever, the humans led by Thera Mogianna, the Kingdom of Stormwind and the dwarves of Ironforge, these four parties, in order to maintain the peace of the world of Azeroth With stability, they also formally signed an alliance and established a new Stormwind Alliance in an attempt to fight against the evil forces of the Flame Alliance, which is becoming more and more powerful!
In the autumn of the same year, the cute leader of the Flame Alliance, the queen of the Flame Kingdom, the liberator of the fire element, the great lord of the Fire Land, the powerful demigod, the immortal, the destroyer of the undead, the daughter of the flame, the fire demon and the fire eagle. The common owner, the great Queen Anne Hastur, mysteriously disappeared...
It is said that before she disappeared, she only left a small note to her maid Lana saying that she was going home. Then, without taking any of her followers, she disappeared into that strange portal alone... …
In this way, little Annie irresponsibly abandoned her Flame Kingdom and the huge Flame Alliance founded by him without any discussion with anyone or the consent of other kingdom leaders...
No one knows where Queen Anne of the Fire Kingdom will go... Where is the home she mentioned in the note?
In the spring of the 22nd year of the Dark Gate, after spending a winter in chaos and wrangling, the members of the Flame Alliance finally came to the City of Flame again and held a second meeting in the same conference room. The summit meeting intends to elect a new leader of the alliance.
In the end, after the regent of the Fire Kingdom, Shane Nox, announced his abstention, Illidan Stormrage, the master of Naga and the founder of the Illidari, who received the vote of the Queen of Quel'Thalas, finally voted 0 :2:0: With a 1:1 vote advantage, he got his wish and won the leadership of the Flame Alliance, the most powerful organization in Azeroth.
"It's all your fault in Lordaeron. Look, I asked you to vote for me but you didn't vote for me. This is a good thing. Is that bastard Illidan able to get the position of leader of the alliance?"
Outside the venue, Falstad, the high lord of Eagle's Nest Mountain who had just walked out, began to yell, complaining that Lordaeron's Grand Marshal Garithos was unjust and did not let their Queen Kallia vote for him.
"Hmph! Didn't you also vote for our Lordaeron?"
Of course, Garithos would not give Lord Ailing a good look. He actually had a little premonition about the outcome this time.
In his opinion, the Sunwell currently being built by the high elves in Quel'Thalas is absolutely inseparable from Illidan! Otherwise, the shrewd Queen Sylvanas would not have introduced the other party's forces into the Flame Alliance, nor would she keep saying good things to Illidan today!
It seems that the Kingdom of Lordaeron really made a mistake today and gave away the throne of Alliance Leader for nothing. The next election will have to wait until three years later!
"You guys...does it make any difference who becomes the alliance leader? Anyway, major matters must be decided through discussion."
Kalia, who walked out with Sylvanas, looked angrily at her grand marshal and dwarf leader who were about to start a fight.
…
"Tibbers...this place is not Valoran!"
After walking out of the portal, after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, little Annie almost wanted to smash the space gem to pieces in anger.
Of course, this was just a thought. This treasure could help her cross the dimensional barrier, but it was her only hope of returning home. How could she be willing to smash it?
