Arthas didn't know what Sylvanas was thinking. He was concentrating on the problem at hand.
The meaning of the Silver Moon Council is obvious. They are not on the same front as Kael'thas, and they also want to represent Quel'Thalas, but the Sun King's prestige is unmatched by the Council, unless the Sun King is "no more." .
Logically speaking, this situation is unrealistic, because even if the previous Sun King abdicates, or even if he dies unexpectedly like Anasterian, as long as the family bloodline is not severed, the Sun Chaser's throne will be legitimate.
But Kael'thas happened to be such a "fool". Anasterian died in the attack on the Sunwell by Naga and Illidan. This prince was unwilling to take over the Sun King's throne for various reasons. Although most people and members of Parliament have already acquiesced in his status as king, there are still people in the Silver Moon Parliament who have ulterior motives.
Starting from Dath'Remar, the Sunstrider family has ruled Quel'Thalas for more than eight thousand years. This period of time is extremely long for humans. It can even be said that it is used in the rise and fall of an entire civilization. It's a span, but for the elves, even the high elves who cannot live forever have only experienced two or three generations.
It's even uncertain that there are old monsters that have survived from the era of Dath'Remar with their deep magic power and rich magical knowledge. You must know that although Quel'Thalas was invaded once by the orcs, it really almost... The entire destructive Scourge did not trample the land of Quel'Thalas again. Arthas thought it was normal to have a few older guys.
The exaggeratedly long lifespan of elves has reduced many of their "worldly" desires to a certain extent. However, after the high elves have multiplied and multiplied for so many years, it is normal for a few aliens to emerge. Needless to say, they are originally a branch of the high elves. For The desire for power has long been buried in their blood.
And power is also a form of expression of strength, not to mention that the noble Sun King also has the qualifications to control the Sun Well. This alone can make countless spellcasters crazy.
Arthas was not completely surprised that the Silver Moon Council could do such a thing. If the Scourge had not inflicted too heavy damage on Quel'Thalas, the Silver Moon Council would also be dead and disabled. Lor'themar and him The idea of my friends forming a Triumvirate in Quel'Thalas is just a fantasy.
Regarding the political intrigues among the elves, Arthas was originally too lazy to interfere. He originally just wanted to wait for Kael'thas to clean up the mess and completely control the Sunwell, and then communicate with him and make the alliance bigger. Strong.
But now the face of the Silver Moon Council made Arthas even want to find some master assassins from the Privy Council and Ravenholdt to go to Quel'Thalas.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about. Bandy Norel is not in name only. It is unrealistic for a group of assassins to wander around the base camp of the Silver Moon Council. Even the top assassin masters do not want to rush into a group of assassins. The magic tower of a famous archmage, not to mention Silvermoon City, which is full of magic devices and enchantments.
However, Alsace did not have no other means. Although it was more complicated than hiring an assassin directly, he dared to guarantee that no one in Quel'Thalas would not buy it, unless there was something wrong with the elf's mind.
After that, Drasil licked his face and came to Arthas several times, but without exception he hit a wall. In the end, the envoy representing the Silver Moon Council could only return to Quel'Thalas in despair. Seeing that the magister was defeated, Sylvanas was extremely happy.
However, when she thought that her hometown was full of such idiots, Sylvanas couldn't laugh anymore - now the entire alliance can be said to be working hard to govern. After Arthas erected the terrible foreign enemy of the "Burning Legion", the existence of The internal conflicts in Azeroth have visibly declined. Even the orcs have become more honest and are trying to recuperate on a barren land.
But even in Quel'Thalas, which claims to be civilized, there are still a lot of people who are still addicted to the singing and dancing of the past, and have no awareness of the rolling wheels of the times. In Sylvanas' view, those people Most of the congressmen who are arrogant and eager to look at people with their noses are like stupid prairie dogs.
When the warriors of Quel'Thalas shed blood on various battlefields that determine the fate of their race, there are always some fools who remain indifferent and end up fighting for the fruits of victory. This is simply shameful.
It's a pity that none of this can be controlled by her little ranger general. However, Kael'thas, the orthodox successor of Quel'Thalas, stepped into this quagmire and couldn't get out for a long time.
Sylvanas had no choice but to comfort herself. The Burning Legion had just experienced another major defeat in Azeroth. Even big figures like Archimonde had fallen here. The Legion should have been dormant for a while. She hoped that she Their hometown can regain its former glory before Legion returns.
As for before that, Sylvanas, as the only "external personnel" assigned by Kael'thas, must lead the high elves who can clearly see the situation and are willing to leave their hometown temporarily, so that Quel'Thalas can rejoin the Alliance in the future. to pave the way.
Yes, although Quel'Thalas is temporarily unable to fully support the alliance's decision to expedition to Draenor, there are still a considerable number of people with lofty ideals gathering in Dalaran and Lordaeron, and Vereesa and Sylvana Si temporarily took over the command of these high elves.
"I just hope it's not too late... Your Highness Kael'thas, I don't know what you are thinking about, but the situation is forcing you to cut the knot with a quick knife is the best solution..."
"What are you muttering about?" Arthas woke up from his meditation. He heard Sylvanas's whisper and asked casually.
"Ah, it's nothing, I suddenly remembered something," Sylvanas confused and changed the subject, "So how long will it take for the final decision to be made?"
"It will be soon...but before that, we have to go to a place first." Alsace's eyes turned to a place on the sand table map.
Sylvanas also noticed it. Before, she was confused as to why this place was specially marked in the expedition against Draenor. You know, even the Swamp of Sorrows that borders the Cursed Land has not been restored in such detail.
"You want to go there? But there is nothing left there except death and curse. And as one of the commanders of the alliance, is it too dangerous for you to go to that place in person?" Sylvanas had reservations about this. Opinion, even though her hometown and the place where Alsace was going could be said to be far apart, she had still heard a lot of rumors about it.
"He built the Dark Portal, and he also single-handedly guided the orc invasion. Although the tower was ruined, it still concealed boundless dark knowledge and wisdom. The six-person council of Dalaran unanimously decided not to open the Dark Portal before opening it. We need to conduct a basic exploration there, but it is not something that ordinary warriors can enter."
"Do you want me to participate?"
"It shouldn't be necessary. Your abilities are too incompatible with that tower. We finally decided that the Silver Hand and Dalaran would be responsible for the main exploration."
"Hmph, the rangers of the Windrunner family are not only useful in the forest. Have you forgotten how many Ragnaros' minions died under my bow in the Molten Core?" Sylvanas heard Al Sass's words were quite dissatisfied. Most rangers were indeed very taboo about fighting in narrow terrain, but she had no such shortcomings.
"It's not that I don't believe in your strength, but the tower is either filled with cursed ghosts and resentful souls, or demons summoned by Medivh. Paladins and mages are better at dealing with these creatures than rangers."
This kind of rhetoric obviously did not completely satisfy Sylvanas, but she also understood the difference in characteristics. However, the ranger general also made the final statement, "If Thasdora is still here, then I will also be a demon and an undead." nemesis."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Sylvanas's expression flashed with sadness - Thasdorla, the legendary holy bow of the Windrunner family, has disappeared together with her sister Alleria, and there has been no news. .
Arthas felt Sylvanas's depression, and he slowly said, "Karazhan has been affected by Medivh's magic, and is caught between the real world and the twisted void. Maybe there, we can find out about you. News from my sister. Don’t worry, Ms. Alleria is a hero of the Alliance and an invincible legendary ranger. She will be fine."
Arthas was very discerning and did not mention Turalyon's name, because he knew that Sylvanas was not very interested in this paladin, and even believed that his sister was in danger and had something to do with him. If he mentioned it, When we get to Turalyon, I'm afraid Sylvanas will continue to be harsh.
