"Thank you, Arthas. The night elves will be your friends forever."
Tyrande dismounted from his mount very formally and greeted Arthas with the solemn etiquette of the ancient elves, and Arthas returned the courtesy with the royal etiquette of Lordaeron.
"Prince Arthas, please take your troops to evacuate. Magic and artillery fire are no longer needed. The old debts between the night elves and the Burning Legion need to be repaid by the demons with their blood."
Before leaving, Tyrande told Arthas that the alliance's help to the night elves was enough. At least in these few days, the night elves realized that they were not fighting alone. There were still people on this planet. There are people fighting for the same goals as them.
"I will have the main force evacuate, but I beg you to leave a small force behind just in case. Priestess, please don't forget that you are no longer alone."
This was the last request made by Arthas, and Tyrande readily accepted Arthas's kindness - facing the Burning Legion, no amount of preparation was too much, and Alsace's request made Tyrande and a group The night elves didn't feel anything wrong, but thought Arthas was considerate.
After returning to the Alliance's position, Arthas explained the situation to Jaina, hoping that she could lead the Alliance troops to evacuate because their mission was completed.
"What about you, Arthas? Aren't you coming with us?"
Jaina noticed that Arthas did not include himself among the evacuated members.
"I want to lead a small force to station in a safe location. After all, no one is sure whether the night elves can really solve all problems."
After hearing Arthas' reply, Jaina said almost without thinking, "Then I will stay with you."
"The mage troops in Dalaran have high-level mages who can direct their actions. I don't need to evacuate with them. Moreover, with Prince Kael'thas here, I don't actually need to worry about the mage troops."
Kael'thas was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, why did the matter between these two guys ignite the fire on himself? However, although Jaina was right, he did not intend to lead the mages of Dalaran and retreat in despair this time.
"Ms. Proudmoore is right, but I would like to ask if I can join the emergency force stationed there? The mages of Dalaran can evacuate on their own."
Sylvanas raised her eyebrows, and she whispered in Kael'thas's ear, "Your Highness, do you really want to stay?"
Kael'thas quietly replied, "Alsace has stayed, so what am I afraid of? Do you think he will make fun of his own life? Staying at this time is not only a support for a friend, but also a show of support for Quill. Salas’ attitude.”
The words of the high elf prince silenced Sylvanas. Kael'thas was absolutely right. Although Kael'thas was the only prince of Quel'Thalas, Arthas was also the only prince of Lordaeron. Ah, but isn't it too dangerous for the two of them to stay like this?
Thinking of this, Sylvanas could only sigh, "I'll stay with you, Your Highness."
The only people with the right to speak on the high elves' side are Kael'thas and Sylvanas, so there is no other argument, but the members of Lordaeron are different.
"Arthas, if you want to stay, we can't evacuate first." Uther rarely disagreed with his students. "At least the soldiers of Lordaeron will not let their prince stay in the rear to break up the rear. If If there must be such a force, I, Mograine, or any member of the Silver Hand can stay as their commander."
Arthas just shook his head when he heard this, "Teacher, although judging from the strength and command ability, many people are qualified for this duty, but of all the people present, I should know the Burning Legion and the Night Elves best. people."
As soon as this statement came out, Uther and others wanted to refute, but they couldn't find anything to say. Arthas's understanding of these things that had never been related to human civilization was far beyond their imagination. If Arthas hadn't let them come to Kalimdor, they would have just thought that this continent was just a legend.
Not to mention the existence of the Burning Legion. Without Ner'zhul, the Burning Legion had minimal impact on the Eastern Kingdom. Only Mal'Ganis caused losses to the kingdom, and even most of the citizens were unaware of it.
Uther could only sigh at this. Arthas's vision and strength had exceeded his understanding of the young Paladin. A few years ago, he thought that Arthas was the leader of the younger generation. At that time, , he also felt that he had seen Alsace clearly.
But the facts told Uther that he had completely failed to see through his student. No one in Lordaeron or even the entire Eastern Kingdom knew how much Arthas knew and how many things he was still planning.
Lightbringer looked at Arthas with a slightly complicated look at this time. In the past, he hoped that Arthas could become the new leader of the Silver Hand and the new king of Lordaeron, but now it seems that Arthas is not just satisfied. For these.
However, no matter what, Arthas is still the crown prince of Lordaeron and his student. Uther knew that although he was under the protection of the Holy Light and could maintain peak combat effectiveness, he was already old.
After the death of Archbishop Faol, Uther has been polishing and perfecting the "Silver Hand" as much as possible. He hopes that one day he will return to the embrace of the Holy Light, and he can bring the spirit and belief of the Silver Hand to life. Pass it on forever.
At first, Uther's best choice was Alsace, but slowly, he felt that the Silver Hand was not a perfect destination for Alsace. His intuition told him that Alsace There should be more important responsibilities.
That is not only the responsibility of being the king of Lordaeron, but a responsibility that transcends a certain individual or a certain kingdom. The farther he goes on the road of Holy Light, the more certain and clear Uther's thoughts become. .
Thinking of this, Uther no longer opposed Alsace's proposal, "Okay, Alsace, I will do as you say."
However, before leaving, Uther found Jaina. He asked the young female mage who loved Arthas, "Jaina, please watch this guy Arthas. He has been here since he left the Silver Land." After the hand training course, I felt like a different person, doing things that would shock us old guys.
However, maybe we are really old. Haha, Jaina, I will leave Arthas to you. "
The face of the always serious Lightbringer showed the kind smile often seen by elders. In fact, with the younger generation like Arthas and Jaina, they, the old people of the previous era, didn't have anything to worry about.
