Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1437 70. Azshara is serious, you can't be saved, wait for death

While the Naglfar set sail from Zandalar with a lot of harvest, all the way across the endless sea to Northrend, in the Nightborne territory located in the Broken Isles, all kinds of bad things happened. The news is being gathered at the desk of Grand Magister Elisande.

Well, you can't call someone a "great magister" now.

That is the title of an era that has passed, and that is the past that must be turned over. Now we must respect and respect Ms. Elisande as the "Queen of the Children of the Night" Your Majesty.

She had completed her coronation more than two months ago.

Although she is a little arrogant and indeed has the intention of overstepping, she still chooses to realize her ambition in this era.

Facts have proved that Elisande did choose a perfect timing. After she became king, she was not attacked by various forces, especially the deep sea empire that she was most worried about.

Queen Azshara seemed to have never heard the news.

This made Elisande feel lucky, but at the same time, he did not give up preparing for the eventual outbreak.

A high-ranking spellcaster who has served the Queen for thousands of years, Elisander knows Queen Azshara's character better than anyone else in this world in this day and age.

Because of her understanding, she was sure from the very beginning that the empress would not forgive her arrogance so easily.

Just like now, one piece of bad news has been compiled to let Elisande know that Queen Azshara, who didn't know what she was up to before, finally freed her hand.

The Queen and her Naga Empire are coming together to teach her a lesson.

"Three large Naga clans from the waters around the Broken Isles are coming to Suramar, and the war mistress Sasrin and her powerful clan who were originally stationed in the Tomb of Sargeras have also been dispatched.

The sea titans of Azsuna are heading towards our city along the coast.

According to the news from the envoys we sent in the Eastern Continent, the Naga settlements along the coast of the entire Eastern Continent disappeared almost overnight."

In Elisande's meditation room, the number two figure in Suramar City, the stargazer Etraus shook his flirtatious long hair with a single ponytail, checking and cleaning up the messages at hand one by one.

These bad news made the great astrologer frown, and he easily made his own judgment.

He glanced at the back of the desk, Elisande, who was suspended in the air and thinking with his eyes closed, said:

"There is no doubt that the empress is mobilizing her imperial army, and the number of deep-sea creatures that may attack us in the first wave alone has reached an astonishing 100,000 or more.

Based on the advancing speed of the Naga in the deep sea, and the teleportation tactics of the spellcasters that Nazjatar absolutely does not lack, based on my most pessimistic guess, after the war starts for at most a week, the enemies Suramar will face are It will exceed 500,000.

If we are lucky enough to last until a month later, we may have to face an army of over two million deep sea empires.

It is no exaggeration to say that by that time, the destruction of Suramar will be irresistible, and now, that bad result is getting closer and closer to us.

And it's all because of you!

I told you before, Elisande.

It's a terrible idea to be crowned without permission, not to mention, you don't have royal blood!

This is a terrible presumption.

We are different from those savage beings, we are elves!

The elves have their own set of laws, and although the person who made them lives in the deep sea, her eyes can still fall on every elf who does not obey her will.

In the past, what the Empress hated the most were the Kaldorei who overthrew the rule of the Empire. Now, with a silly ritual and a meaningless title, Ni managed to draw fire from the night elves.

I really want to ask you, what kind of benefits did Tyrande Windtalker give you?

Can make you do such a stupid thing! "

"I have explained to you several times why Her Majesty must be crowned, Your Excellency the Great Astrologer."

Facing the accusation of the great astrologer, Elisande chose silence with a blank face.

She seemed disdainful of explaining this simple question, and Lilith Yuejun, the former political advisor and current Minister of the Interior, who was standing beside the Grand Magister, coughed.

The politician from a noble family patiently explained to the arrogant astrologer for his queen:

"Times are changing, Lord Etraeus.

In this era, those elven factions that used to form the empire with us in the past are already independent forces. If we still regard ourselves as subjects of the elven empire, we will never be able to reach any agreement with our compatriots.

We must make this choice!

We must make a clean break with the Azshara era to show our attitude to other compatriots! "

Holding the document in her arms, Lilith said in a deep voice:

"You also saw with your own eyes that on the Queen's coronation day, Kaldorei, Quel'dorei, those distorted Fal'dorei nerubians who chose to follow pirates, and even the Chitesa Rhine who returned from death, they Both sent envoys to attend the coronation ceremony.

Her Majesty the Queen used a single ceremony to break the isolation of the Shaldorei!

His Majesty Elisande has shown our will to the other elf factions. The Sholdorei no longer belong to the past, we embrace the future, and now they are all willing to negotiate with us to resolve diplomatic issues.

What we have achieved in the past month is several times more than this year's efforts!

We will have allies.

We will rise again on our own.

This is the right choice, great astrologer, and you should not fail to understand this move.

Besides, there is no point in dwelling on the past.

What matters is the moment! "

"Yes, what Lilith said is too correct."

Queen Nightborn also opened her eyes the next moment, looked at Etraus, she sighed and said:

"Oh, my Etraeus, if your political consciousness is one-tenth of your magical attainments, then my Minister of the Interior will not have to explain to you the reasons for my actions repeatedly.

Facts have proved that my choice is correct, so let's not dwell on this point.

The most important thing now is to deal with the queen's crusade army. We must survive this battle. If we can gain an advantage on the battlefield, we can negotiate with the queen.

I have already sent invitations to the Kaldorei. As a thorn in the side of Queen Azshara's hatred, those wild elves who live on trees and eat wild fruits have enough reason to stand with us.

We should have the aid of the druids of Val'sharah, but that's not enough.

We also need more allies to fight with us. "

"You mean, Quel'dorei?"

Great Astromancer Etraeus is not stupid.

He quickly tasted her meaning from Elisande's words, but the great astrologer didn't think that Elisande's idea could be realized so easily.

He said:

"The Quel'dorei elves have always embraced the inheritance of magic, and they have also inherited various rules of the elven empire, and they have always regarded themselves as 'imperial orthodoxy'.

Although they also have their own Sun King, I don't think those white elves can be trusted! They are between Azshara and us, maybe they will be more inclined to Azshara. "

"Indeed, especially those Quel'dorei mages."

Queen Nightborne sighed.

She played with her Nightborne Scepter, and said in a regretful and sarcastic tone:

"The more people lack something, the more they like to show something. Those Quel'dorei spellcasters use all kinds of fancy costumes and etiquette to set off their so-called 'nobility'.

But in the eyes of those of us who have really experienced the age of empires, those sad white skins are as ridiculous as monkeys wearing crowns! They are all born with mud legs, how do they know how to use the real imperial etiquette?

Those idiots have an indescribable desire to worship and follow Queen Azshara. Once the Queen calls them, maybe many idiots will really choose to join the Queen.

For those who lack background, clinging to orthodoxy can always bring more satisfaction to their barren hearts. "

The conversation between the queen and the great astrologer was full of "elven discrimination", which made the Minister of the Interior, Her Excellency Lilith Yuejun, a little disapproving.

Although on the surface she is Queen Elisande's most loyal, capable, and favored court minister, she can help the Queen handle all troublesome government affairs.

But in her heart, Ms. Yuejun will still feel "confused" by some of Elisande's speeches.

For example, now she is talking nonsense about the origin of the Quel'dorei elves

For ordinary people, Elisande should be a big shot in the Elven Empire, but for the Moon County family who has many secrets of the past, Elisande's experience in the Elven Empire cannot be hidden from them.

Although the great magister was trusted by Queen Azshara for a while, Elisande's background is not noble.

Where does she have the confidence to criticize the dynasty established by the Sunstrider family, who was born in the top nobles of the empire?

Moreover, as a fiancée who has already entered into a secret engagement with Lilas Windrunner, Lilith Yuejun also instinctively wants to protect her fiancé's family.

Although her background was more prominent than Elisande's, thanks to her father's excellent tutoring, Lilith didn't think that Shaldorei was really superior to other elves.

Elisande may be a very good politician and a very powerful spellcaster, but her vision and bearing are not as good after all.

She knows she needs help from other elf factions, but she still speaks so loudly to potential allies. What if someone wants to hear it?

As a leader, she pays so little attention to her speech, if something goes wrong, it will immediately trigger a diplomatic storm that is difficult to calm down.

Lilith shook her head.

Although she was disappointed with her queen in her heart, she still expressed approval on the surface.

In the silence after the conversation between Elisande and Etraeus, Lilith looked around and suddenly lowered her voice and said:

"If the Quel'Dorei is not trustworthy, then we should smash Quel'Thalas before Queen Azshara attacks us, and bring those white elves under our rule!"

"Huh? Are you crazy?"

The great astrologer was amused by Lilith's proposal, and the always high caster shook his head and said sarcastically:

"So, as the Queen's Home Secretary, the way you face the threat of a war is to start two wars at the same time? What a clever little ghost you are.

It seems that there is really no war gene in the ancient blood of the Yuejun family. "

Lilith did not refute the sarcasm.

She just silently put a message she had collected in front of the queen.

Elisande didn't intend to ignore this weird suggestion at first, but when she saw the short-word information in front of her, her expression changed subtly.

It was an intelligence letter about Beihai.

The fleet of the Human Alliance has been attacking undead pirates in the frozen sea recently. The news has spread all over the world, and the children of the night naturally know it too.

But they don't care about human dogs biting dogs, anyway, the Frozen Sea has never been the sphere of influence of the Nightborne.

But right now this news was specially brought out by Lilith, which obviously represented a certain idea of ​​the Minister of the Interior. Elisande glanced at her and said:

"If I remember correctly, your sister who ran away from home is the captain of the Undead Pirates?"

"Well, my little sister who doesn't live up to expectations is now the pirate king of the elf pirate faction under Laike Shaw, although in my opinion, she is lacking in all abilities."

Lilith said with a straight face in a sarcastic tone:

"It was indeed the right choice for my father to pass on the position of Patriarch to me. Look at the life plan of Anaris, elf pirate, oh my god, this is simply the worst choice I have ever heard for an elf Profession.

But fortunately, she and her leader are just in time to solve our problems.

My lord, the white elves of Quel'Thalas foolishly took part in the strangulation of North Sea pirates, and what a vengeful man Bu Laike Shaw is, the whole world already knows.

He has enough reason to attack the territory of Quel'Thalas, and he has enough ability to destroy the troublesome Renault Bandir barrier.

I mean, Your Majesty, although I look down on my deviant sister, but this time, we have a rare common interest with the Undead Fleet.

They can be your swords in the conquest of Quel'Thalas!

On top of that, we already have the Nightwell.

If we get the magic power of the Sunwell again, the two magic wells will charge you at the same time, plus the power of the Eye of Aman'Thul and the Scepter of Sargeras."

The Secretary of the Interior paused, and she glanced at Elisande's expression.

The Queen of Nightborne's expression at this time is wonderful, she seems to have seen the future described by Lilith.

She was a little excited, a little expectant, and a little apprehensive and said:

"The simultaneous charging of the two magic wells and the simultaneous manipulation of the two artifacts are enough for me to control the power of time and space, allowing me to resist, and even

Defeat and surpass the power of Queen Azshara!

yes!

We should go to war against Quel'Thalas.

But our goal this time is not to defeat the Sun Dynasty, that will take a long time to achieve, we only have one goal!

We're going to take the Sunwell to defend against the threat of the deep sea that's just around the corner.

As long as we survive the punishment of Queen Azshara, the Nightborne can turn Quel'Thalas into its own overseas territory. Everyone is an elf

They can worship Azshara, just as they can worship me.

As long as I prove my strength. "

"No! I disagree! This plan is too risky."

The big astrologer shook his head stubbornly and said:

"Most importantly, how are you sure you can use the fickle Brad Laike Shaw? That guy is known for his cunning and capriciousness.

If you want to use him, maybe you will be used by him in turn, no, you will definitely be used by him! "

"No, no, great astrologer, your views on politics are too shallow."

Lilith Yuejun said bluntly:

"Why do you have to be afraid of being used? Being used shows value. No one in this world will try their best to use a waste that can't do anything.

I admit that my proposal is risky, and we may indeed be played by the cunning pirates in the applause, but what does it matter?

As long as we can achieve our goal!

Bo Laike and Quel'Thalas are already in a real hostile relationship. As long as he is not stupid, he will not choose to refuse our joint proposal.

And our Queen holds such an artifact as the Eye of Aman'Thul.

time!

Almighty time is on our side.

If he wants to cheat, we have enough ability to protect ourselves. And even if we don't start from the perspective of war, we really need the magic power of the Sunwell just from the perspective of internal affairs. "

As the Minister of the Interior, Lilith sighed, picked up another piece of data from the document in her hand, and put it in front of the eyes of the two big men, she said:

"After accepting the Sin Della elves as refugees, the already severe magic wine famine in Suramar has become more and more terrible. If we can't find a new source of magic power, the magic wine we store will be completely consumed in half a year at most.

Until then, our people will be mana-hungry. "

The Home Secretary shook her head, and she said to her Queen:

"So in my opinion, compared to Queen Azshara's punishment, our internal problems are the real troubles, my lord. You must use the sword in the hands of the Nightborne to win the land under the sun for your subjects !

You must satisfy your people's thirst for magic, or else.

You will be the next Queen Azshara.

I think what happened to her is enough to warn all elf rulers. "

The suggestion silenced Elisande for a few minutes.

The Queen of the Nightborne stood up, swaying her slender waist and walked to the window of her palace, looking out at the gorgeous city that she had ruled for more than 10,000 years.

After a few seconds, she said:

"During my coronation ceremony, I kindly asked the Quel'dorei's envoys if they could sell us some of the magic power of the Sunwell, and I even offered a very high price to express our sincerity.

But the arrogant white-skinned elf ruthlessly rejected me.

I felt an indescribable irony in their refusal, like facing a beggar

I think, this time, they don't have the ability to reject me!

I will not give them a chance to humiliate me!

Lilith, summon Bu Laike Shaw through your bad and rebellious sister's connections, I need to speak to him. "
