"Arthas, we have to think of a way." Jaina's brows were full of anxiety. She was pacing back and forth. "Teleportation magic can allow us to escape, but this will leave the elves facing the enemy alone."
"Although I don't like my distant relatives, I must admit that Ms. Proudmoore is right." Kael'thas's exquisite Sunstrider family robes have lost their former luster. The days of fighting and evacuation have made him I have no time to pay attention to my appearance.
Next to Kael'thas was Sylvanas, another high-ranking general in Quel'Thalas and an acquaintance of Alsace. She leaned against an ancient tree holding her longbow, "We'd better Quickly decide whether to retreat or continue fighting, if the devil comes up, we may not be able to leave."
Arthas was not worried at all. He opened the map he carried with him on a rock and said, "Don't worry yet. I guess the elves have one last resort."
"The last resort?" The others didn't know why Arthas was so sure. Kael'thas asked, "Do you know anything?"
Arthas did not answer directly, but talked about the previous encounters with demons, "Do you remember the two demon commanders we killed?
Archimonde has the ability to single-handedly destroy the Alliance, Horde, and Kaldorei coalition forces, but apart from destroying our fortress at the beginning, he barely appeared on the battlefield.
Even after two of his men were defeated by our joint forces, Archimonde did not appear directly, but used the demon army to force us back.
From what we hear from the night elves, Archimonde is not a patient commander. "
Kael'thas is the person here who probably knows the most about the night elves besides Arthas. "You mean, the night elves have hidden methods that would make Archimonde fearful?"
"The leader of the Kaldorei, Archdruid Malfurion, has been away for several days. At a critical moment of life and death, the fact that he, as the most powerful leader, did not appear is already some kind of proof, isn't it?"
Arthas smiled for the first time in the past few days. In fact, he didn't need any proof at all. As the Lich King, he could already feel that ancient souls were gathering under Nordrassil.
And in those forests, there are countless souls gathering, preparing to give Archimonde a big gift.
After all, Malfurion did not disappoint anyone. He was more suitable as the leader of civilization than Illidan.
If you save land and lose people, everyone and land will be lost; if you save people and lose land, everyone and land will be gained.
Time will prove that Malfurion's choice was not wrong. Moreover, although the elves' choice this time caused them to be traumatized in a short period of time, they were blessed to help the elves find out the evil hidden within the race. stabilizing factors.
Arthas showed the strength and grace of the alliance to the night elves, hoping to form an alliance with the night elves and make the alliance stronger again.
But he also wanted to see the night elves' sincerity. If the Kaldorei's actions were inconsistent with what he remembered, and they just wanted to rely on the strength of the alliance to survive the disaster, then Arthas would not let the night elves enjoy the gains.
Any allies in this world respect and understand each other, and those who only know how to exploit one party are not called alliances, but called slaves.
From the current point of view, the night elves are satisfied with Arthas. Although they seem a bit arrogant and complacent because of their ten thousand years of civilization, the arrival of the Burning Legion has indeed caused them a big loss. The night elves should learn from this. Look at other races in the world with equal eyes.
Moreover, this battle has indeed gained the friendship of the night elves. If Arthas did not expect...
"Your Highness, the priestess of Kaldorei wishes to see you. She is waiting for you outside the camp."
Everyone looked at Arthas in surprise. Unexpectedly, just after he said that the night elves had hidden methods, the highest priestess of the night elves came to find him.
Alsace nodded and asked the attendant to leave first. After saying hello to the others, Alsace also walked out.
Tyrande, riding the white tiger Ash'ara, was waiting outside the camp, followed by a group of heavily armed elven sentries.
"Prince Arthas, please take your people to evacuate Mount Hyjal first. Your mage troops should be able to do this." Tyrande said straight to the point, "Otherwise, when Archimonde calms down, think It would be very troublesome to evacuate using teleportation spells."
"I understand, Priestess, and I'm sorry that we were unable to hold the Legion back from Mount Hyjal."
Arthas did not ask why. Tyrande saw Arthas' calm expression and couldn't help but think of a person who should have been forgotten.
"To be honest, Your Highness, you are very similar to one of my...friends." Tyrande sighed softly, "We are about to detonate the energy of the World Tree, causing Archimonde and his lackeys to explode. Disintegrated into ashes—you should have already made some guesses about this, right?"
"The departure of the Archdruid made me make some guesses, but I didn't expect that we would reach this point in the end." Arthas' tone was filled with regret. This was not because he was being pretentious, but because he truly served the purpose of the night elves. I admire your experience and dedication.
If the power of the Burning Legion can be blocked by the Alliance, then Arthas will not deliberately let the elves destroy Nordrassil, but the fact is that if the Alliance tries to block it, it will only anger Archimonde. Avoiding the fate of Nordrassil's destruction will instead cost the Alliance's vitality.
After all, although they have been fighting and retreating with the Burning Legion, the alliance who came to Kalimdor to support them are actually elite soldiers and generals accumulated over many years.
It's not that Alsace doesn't want to do more, but that the current alliance can only go so far.
Tyrande nodded towards Arthas and relaxed a little. She had fully accepted the fate of the night elves. Like Malfurion, she believed that this was a necessary sacrifice. "Don't worry about it. This is It is the duty and destiny of the Kaldorei, but I hope His Highness the Prince can promise me one thing."
"Please feel free to ask, Priestess, and I will do my best."
"If we can survive this war, I hope the Alliance can provide some help to the new allies," Tyrande smiled reluctantly. Although he knew that Nordrassil's fate was inevitable, he left the country where he had lived for ten thousand years. Tyrande still feels reluctant and saddened by her home.
Arthas solemnly replied, "This is a necessary duty as an ally. Priestess, please rest assured that no one will forget what the night elves sacrificed for Azeroth."
