Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

With Andrea's return, Moonlight City's originally slowed-down pace has sped up on a small scale.

After receiving the order from Moonlight City, Nawaz, who was far away in Gadgetzan, immediately began to prepare for the army. Syndra, who was stationed in the Shining Plain for training, also led the army south into the Tanaris Desert.

The unusual behavior of the night elves naturally aroused the vigilance of the Sandfury troll.

Over the years, the Warchief of the Sandfury trolls has changed countless times, but they always keep the night elf threat in mind.

When each generation of chieftains took office, it has become a fixed custom to personally lead the attack on the night elf outposts and show the clansmen their tough stance.

The Sandfury chieftain of this generation was named Toulouse Sandtop. He had just killed his old father a few months ago, and he was full of ambition.

Knowing the movement of the night elves from the scouts, Toulouse not only did not worry or fear, but instead excitedly encouraged the warriors in the clan, trying to defeat the large army of night elves in an attack-for-attack manner, in order to demonstrate their personal abilities and consolidate their position. regime.

The two armies faced off in front of the Sand Feather Outpost on the east side of the Quicksand Outpost. The young and energetic Toulouse was not afraid of the well-equipped night elves. He firmly believed that the Sandfury trolls who had a geographical advantage could defeat this group of invading purple-skinned monsters.

The combined army of Moon Night City and Syndra has a total strength of 100,000 troops. The Sandfury troll temporarily mobilized a lot of new recruits, bringing the total strength to 250,000. In terms of numbers alone, it is indeed far more than the night elves.

However, battles have never been just a game of numbers. The logistical supplies, soldier training, equipment gap, and pre-battle planning of both sides are all taken into account.

At least Nawaz, who led the whole army to fight, didn't think that the Sandfury trolls with too many mobs could easily defeat the night elves' solid fortifications.

Seeing that a big war is about to start, both sides are silently dispatching materials and support troops for the war.

Andrea dispatched another 20,000 reinforcements from Moonlight City to Nasa. The reinforcements departed from Storm Harbor by boat and rushed all the way south to the front line for support.

Syndra also followed suit. Previously, they sent fighters and rangers to the Shining Plains for training. In order to eradicate the threat from the south, they finally sent an organized Arcanist troop this time.

Under the situation where the war was about to break out, Andrea led a number of confidantes to set off from Moonlight City to take office in the capital Anasis, which was built in the canopy of Nordrassil.

When Andrea followed the Dragon Clan to the Eastern Continent to capture Malygos and visit the Highborne, the Big Three of the night elves were not idle either.

Maiev went on a relentless killing spree, and she led her watchmen to forcefully settle in the former Highborne residence. Her unscrupulous behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the wealthy merchants and landlords who were swarming nearby and trying to compete for the territory.

Maiev is not Tyrande who deliberately shields her, let alone Malfurion who is soft-hearted.

Anyone who dared to enter the garrison without permission would have their paws cut off by watchmen she sent, and even blood-bathed the masters behind these private soldiers.

Originally, only the upper elves were eligible to raise private soldiers. Under Tyrande's suppression for many years, Dath'Remar and others gradually lost this privilege.

Under the connivance of Tyrande turning a blind eye, this group of bold and wealthy landlords blatantly expanded their bodyguard team, even surpassing the scope of bodyguards long ago.

Maiev has long wanted to clean up these black sheep. Since the other party handed her the excuse of trespassing in front of her, of course she will not disappoint the other party's "expectation".

The rich merchants and landlords, who were a step behind, woke up the next day to realize that the sky had changed. The scene of blood flowing into rivers and corpses strewn across the field in the Highborne garrison frightened them.

If Andrea was sitting in charge in person, at this point he should have stopped suppressing by force, and instead used methods such as beating and wooing in batches to divide the cowardly greedy people, and even secretly sow dissension for them to attack each other.

But Maiev wouldn't, the leader of the watchmen with a straight mind circuit continued to kill mercilessly.

For several days in a row, residents of Anakis who were close to the Highborne residence could hear shrill and desperate screams, and the strong smell of blood made them dare not even open the windows to breathe fresh air.

The tragic massacre alarmed Shandris, who was sitting in the Great Moon Temple, and when she arrived at the scene, everything was over.

Malfurion, who had successfully returned from Black Rook Castle, learned of Maiev's ruthless methods, and was so angry that he squatted in the Emerald Dream for several days.

But the punishment for this group of greedy people was determined by the night elves' high-level officials. Even though Malfurion was very dissatisfied with Maiev's bloody methods, he could only sulking in his heart.

Syndra's situation is relatively troublesome.

The hidden city of Eresharas was originally founded by Queen Azshara, and the scholars responsible for managing the precious books were all learned highborne.

Dath'Remar's escape made them feel sad. Tyrande personally came to the door to reassure Syndra that Dath'Remar just had a misunderstanding with the night elf leadership and would not be cruel to Syndra.

The High Priest personally came to the door to explain, which is considered to be enough face. After some discussions between Mordant Eternal Shadow and the members of the council, he finally accepted Tyrande's apology.

When Andrea and others teleported to Anakis, the turmoil more than half a year ago had basically subsided.

However, the impact of the exodus of the Highborne on social productivity cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. If this continues, it will take a long time for Anakis, who is waiting to be rebuilt, to adapt to life after losing the Highborne.

Andrea finally knew why the night elves hadn't made any progress for 10,000 years in the original history.

On the one hand, it was because of Tyrande's poor governing ability, and on the other hand, it was also because the escape of the Highborne took away the last magic afterglow of the Night Empire, and the level of social development declined instead of advancing.

It can be seen from the development trajectory of Quel'Thalas in the future, at least in terms of living standards and social productivity, the high elves definitely far surpassed the night elves under Tyrande's rule.

The population of high elves is insufficient, and the lack of productivity is supported by automated magic equipment.

Under the vigorous promotion of the high-level, Quel'Thalas' magic technology and wealth surpassed all countries and races on the two continents.

Andrea did not take away all the high-level officials of Moonlight City at once.

Except for Nawaz and Nasa, who were leading the army to fight outside, Makele remained in Moonlight City as the Chief Consul, and Ferrien and Delier also temporarily stayed there until a suitable successor was cultivated before returning to Andrea.

It was Delier's deputy, Jorge, who led half of the moon guards to follow Andrea to Anakis.

After 2000 years of experience, this once frizzy young Arcanist has become much more mature and stable.

Although due to his personality, occasionally he would explode, but that was only in private time, and Jorge clearly distinguished public and private affairs.

In addition to Jorge, the secretary team including Lisa, Alfonso, and Seres, Prism hiding in the dark, and Leticia, the only apprentice, also followed.

Of course, Onyxia, who is the messenger of the black dragon, is also indispensable.

In addition, a group of technicians, including the arcane puppet craftsman Alan and others, were also brought here by him in order to promote the development of Anarchis' barren technological level.

Losing the protection of the Highborne, Anakis' teleportation tower became very deserted. When Andrea walked out of the tower, she looked down at the familiar and unfamiliar street scene in front of her with emotion.

"Let's get started, a new challenge is waiting for us."
