As a hero who became famous in Quel'Thalas during the Troll War a few years ago, Alleria naturally has her own ethics and beliefs. ↗Blue↑↑Book Bar, www. However, the long life span and comfortable life made Alleria, who advocated bravery and fighting spirit, gradually feel dissatisfied. For thousands of years, the Windrunner family has been active in various fields such as politics and military affairs of the kingdom as members of the Silver Moon Council and regular visitors to the Sunchaser Court, and is respected by the world. But so what? As a witness and participant in family history, Alleria was tired of the endless political disputes. The family is the family, I am me! In addition to caring about her three younger siblings, Alleria gradually downplayed her influence in the family. How much fame and status I have, Alleria, is no reason for you to rest on my merits and climb up the ladder.
For one person to achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascending to heaven may be a necessity for political ecology in the human world, but in Alleria's view, her family's doing this is a kind of depravity, and this behavior is so ugly that it makes her sick. Therefore, Alleria Windrunner has not seen her father and uncles for more than a hundred years.
At home, the two younger sisters are in their rebellious phase, so it’s okay not to mention them. Only his youngest brother Liras, the simple and kind-hearted Lilas, can always arouse the concern in his heart.
Named younger brother, in fact the young Lilas can be said to have been raised by Alleria.
After giving birth to Lilas Windrunner, the common mother of the four Windrunner siblings unfortunately died of illness after childbirth. Except for breastfeeding, Alleria took on all the errands of taking care of her younger brother.
Because their mother's death might have a negative impact on their younger brother's life, the three sisters shared Liras's need for a mother during his childhood. However, when Liras entered youth, Sylvanas and Vereesa gradually got tired of this job and the identity of "mother", and began to return to the identity of "sister" for Liras. Alleria, on the other hand, has always been guarding her younger brother like an elder. Because when Liras was growing up, Alleria paid attention to and placed too many expectations on her. To a certain extent, in Alleria's eyes, Lilas is another idealized male version of herself.
So even if the war is urgent. Alleria returned to Quel'Thalas and decided to go back to her hometown to visit her brother.
However, when Alleria went all the way north, the first thing she felt was the chaos of magic power in the great barrier. It didn't take long before the ruins of the town near the east were discovered. and the remains of corpses of tribesmen and trolls.
"The two of you split up and go to Silvermoon City and Quelslin to report the situation."
Although there were only five rangers around her, Alleria still decisively divided her forces.
The first thing Alleria felt was confusion. Why could the troll penetrate so far into the Great Barrier? What were the patrolling guards doing?
Immediately afterwards. It is a kind of anger mixed with pleasure. Alleria had already made a statement to the royal family and the Silvermoon City Council. Blindly trusting in the Great Barrier was a dangerous behavior, and the high elves should build a second set of defense and early warning mechanisms in the territory.
Alleria once suggested that the Sun King at least learn from humans and set up a simple beacon tower. However, before His Majesty the Sun King Anastarian spoke, people from the Royal Mage School jumped out to object, saying that Quel'Thalas's magical defense system was impregnable and so on.
Alleria endured it again and again, and finally gave up her suggestion.
The cost of building a hundred proposed beacon towers is not as much as that of you mages who exploded an arcane puppet. Why is there such a big reaction? I am afraid that if the direct method is effective, His Majesty Anastarian will cut your research funds. ?
And that’s until now. Quel'Thalas has been invaded, but there are no survey troops and defense corps. This fully proves that the magic defense system of Quel'Thalas boasted by magicians is not as impregnable as rumored.
But ridiculing the magicians would do nothing to improve the situation she was currently facing. Alleria had an ominous premonition in her heart, and uneasiness and anxiety began to grow in her heart.
The physiological structure of the dragon eagle determines that this magical creature is not suitable for long-distance flights. It is also a reasonable choice to change mounts in the village where her brother lives. Alleria gave such an order.
Before dark, the ranger lord Alleria arrived at the place she remembered, and saw only a ruined scene and dried blood.
Ignoring the exclamations of the subordinates around her, Alleria jumped directly from the dragon eagle's saddle in mid-air. After landing, he rolled twice on the spot to relieve his strength, and quickly ran into the ruins to explore the situation.
Judging from the burnt remains of the wooden building and the extent of the dried blood, the battle took place at least three days ago.
There wasn't much remains, considering the size of the village and the trolls' cannibalistic habits. It's not that the villages retreated, it's that the troll army pressed on. Either way it's not good news.
Alleria walked quickly through the ruins, relying on the route in her memory to quickly reach the residence of the Windrunner family in this village.
After arriving, the charred walls and damaged door eliminated Alleria's last chance.
"Liras!" Alleria shouted and rushed into the ruins of the house. However, except for the blood stains and the burning blackness, there were no survivors or corpses.
calm. You have to calm down! Alleria warned herself this way, there is still hope if the body is not found!
After the other three rangers controlled the dragon hawk to circle and land, their subordinates found Alleria who was investigating the scene.
"Lady Alleria, please stop taking such dangerous actions. What if there are enemy troops lurking in the village?"
Alleria, who had adjusted her mood, ignored her subordinates' persuasion and directly issued the order.
"Start search and rescue operations immediately to see if there are any survivors."
Soon after, before the rangers could bring back the news, the survivors in the village came to the door themselves.
"Lady Alleria! Did the Sun King send you to save his people?"
Representatives of the survivors had tears in their eyes and burst into tears.
"Please stay calm and tell me, what happened?"
Alleria's heart was beating hard, but as a ranger lord, she still put Quel'Thalas first.
"It's trolls, a lot of trolls, and orcs, and a human who looks like a dead man."
It took a while for Alleria to finally sort out the entire incident from the survivors.
The rune stones were stolen, the trolls and the orcs raided the village, and the death knights participated in the massacre against the high elves.
"His Majesty Anastarian will not leave his people alone. You will soon be properly rescued and resettled." After Alleria comforted the survivors, she finally asked the key to what she wanted to know. "Lilas, how is Liras?"
"..."
Facing the silence of the survivors, Alleria felt that her heart was about to break.
"Please tell me the whereabouts of Liras Windrunner." Alleria shouted loudly.
"..."
Still no one answered Alleria's question.
"As his relatives, please tell me, please tell me."
Alleria's voice became lower and lower, and her heart became colder and colder. To be continued. ~Sosoullanse* Book Bar, you can read the following chapters in full
