Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1797 23. The strongest commander-in-chief development plan: How to stand out in the workplace

"Let me protect a foreign emperor? No, I'm not doing this! I'm here to fight demons, not to be a guard."

On the walls of Suramar City, the young Illidan received the order, but he was unwilling to obey. Instead, he argued with the hippogryph knight who came to convey the order:

"I should charge into battle with Lord Ravencrest! That's where I should be."

"But the High Lord didn't give you a chance to refuse, recruit."

The hippogryph knight said proudly:

"This is war. Everyone has their own responsibilities. The high lord is about to go to the front line. You'd better be honest. Go to the city guard and pick your followers, Illidan.

If the furry emperor is injured, then you will be responsible for this 'diplomatic accident'. "

After speaking, he drove the Hippogryph into the city, without giving the young Moon Guard any more chances to defend himself, leaving Illidan alone in the wind.

The young man, eager to get ahead, clenched his fists.

He seriously suspected that this group of arrogant noble bastards was taking the opportunity to suppress him. After all, for most of the commanders of Black Rook Castle, Illidan Stormrage was just a lucky bastard.

but it is not the truth.

Although Illidan did accidentally break into the high lord's hunting ground when the demon attacked the high lord of Ravencrest before, he fought the demon bravely and finally killed him, and saved the injured high lord by relying on own strength and courage.

Lord Ravencrest is a big man who values ​​talents, but unfortunately not all the noble commanders under his command have big hearts.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless for Illidan to be angry again. He calmed himself down, rode a black panther with his moon staff on his back, and quickly came to the barracks of the city guards.

Illidan frowned at the poor quality of the city defense troops who were frightened to death when they heard the war was coming.

Panic was written on their faces, and their hands holding weapons were trembling, and their chief was even more ashen-faced, sitting by the city wall and muttering to himself.

"It's just a group of civilians."

Illidan, who had received rigorous training in Black Rook Castle and was well-informed, complained.

He didn't have any hope for his "followers". Bringing such a guy to the battlefield was completely causing trouble for himself. He was thinking about whether he should go alone to support that reckless alien emperor.

I was still complaining about how troublesome the pandaren emperor was.

However, when Illidan turned to leave, he unexpectedly saw a young elf wearing the uniform of the city defense army walking among the crowd. He looked like a recruit, but that guy was encouraging his companions.

And beside him, there are already a few city defense soldiers who are as young as him, but at least they don't tremble. Although they are all recruits, those people obviously regard this young man as their leader.

This made Illidan interested.

"Recruit! Yes, it's you, come here!"

Riding on his black panther, Illidan imitated his usual appearance of those bastard chiefs, and raised his aura, and shouted at the strange young elf in a haughty tone.

The latter froze for a moment. When he saw Illidan's moon guard robe and the rank of sergeant on his chest, the young elf immediately straightened up and stepped forward.

He gave a crisp military salute and said:

"Jarrod Shadowsong, a soldier of the city defense army, is reporting to you, sir! Can I help you with anything?"

"Have you ever been on a battlefield?"

The recruit Illidan coughed and said to the recruit Jarod in front of him:

"I have a secret mission and I need help. You are the only one of this group of bad recruits who looks a bit pretentious, but let me explain in advance that this mission is very dangerous. We have to face the devil directly, and you may die on the battlefield."

"I'm not afraid, sir."

Garrod, who just joined the city defense army yesterday, tried his best to show his courage. He straightened his waist and said loudly:

"I joined the army to protect my people. Although I have never been on a battlefield, I have been familiar with the biographies of ranger generals since I was a child. I also taught myself the "Black Rook Castle Infantry Code" and "Hunter Troop Training Rules."

"Very good, very energetic."

Illidan felt very satisfied. Although he was a rookie who had never seen blood in front of him, he at least had the momentum, which was much better than other soldiers who were scared to death.

He can only be selected as a general among the dwarfs, after all, he doesn't have many choices.

"Then, you choose ten people yourself, and then go to your chief to get the hippogryph and weapons. We will set off in ten minutes!"

"Yes, sir."

Joy welled up in Jarod's eyes, he felt that someone finally saw his talent.

But before leaving, he still asked in a low voice:

"Sir, what is our mission? I'm ready."

"This is it."

Illidan really couldn't explain the task of "protecting foreign guests", but fortunately, young elves are always clever. He rolled Amber's eyes and whispered mysteriously:

"We went to the front line to detect the movement of the demons. This is a very dangerous mission, but our brave companions have already set off. I don't want them to wait too long. Do you have any questions?"

"No more, sir."

Jarod felt a little guilty when he heard that it was a reconnaissance mission.

This kind of reconnaissance before the war has always been carried out by the most elite hunters. He didn't understand why the moon guard in front of him would choose him.

But there is no doubt that this is a challenge for his fledgling career.

The young soldier took a deep breath, and ran to apply for weapons and mounts from his chief. The noble chief who had already turned pale from fright was not in the mood to argue with the young man Jarod, so he gave him permission.

Garrod chose ten young but brave soldiers like him to enter the armory of the city defense army, but he was dumbfounded as soon as he entered.

Although the defense of Suramar City was loose, the elves who were not short of money were still quite serious about investing in armaments. This warehouse was stacked with armor and weapons that could arm thousands of people.

There are no less than twenty kinds of weapons scattered here and there.

For Jarod Shadowsong, who had rich theoretical experience but zero actual combat experience, he was immediately dazzled and didn't know what weapon to use to arm himself.

The recruits behind him also numb their claws, and all cast their eyes on Jarod eagerly.

Although everyone is a recruit, Garald at least has a theory, and soldiers like them who are civilians don't even have a theory.

"Choose wing blades or double knives, a set of ranger chain armor for each person, bring a war bow, three pots of arrows and signal arrows for sending messages, don't bring too much.

The second warehouse in the warehouse contains magic arrows and magic cloaks specially prepared for officers.

That's a good thing, don't miss it"

A voice appeared in Jarod's mind, making the young elf feel dazed.

But in the next moment, he came back to his senses and assumed the posture of a leader, repeating those words to his soldiers just now.

After hearing the clear command, the soldiers acted immediately, and Garrod walked quickly to the second warehouse. He glanced at the locked warehouse in front of him, and hesitated for a while.

"Smash it open!"

The voice sounded again, and the young soldier grabbed the unbladed gun barrel next to it and slammed it hard at the lock. With a click, the door of the warehouse was opened.

"Who are you?"

Jarod rushed in and took out the shimmering magic arrows and distributed them to his soldiers, while asking in his heart.

"I am your conscience."

The voice answered solemnly:

"It's been a long time since we spoke, my dear Jarod Shadowsong. You'd better hurry, Illidan, the new recruit, is getting impatient.

You don't want to see him angry.

In addition, I know you will definitely ask a lot of boring questions, so I will tell you that your sister Maiev Shadowsong is among the vanguards you are going to support.

Hopefully this news gives you a little more courage and motivation. "

"Maev?"

Jarod exclaimed, and said:

"How did she go to the front line?"

"Fate is like this, so there is no need to ask. Have you seen the sword in front of you? It is the best weapon in this warehouse. Take it, I hope you can use it."

That voice Well, Bo Laike said to Jarod.

The young elf became anxious after hearing his sister's name. He stopped asking questions, and silently grabbed the elf-style two-handed sword in front of him and waved it in place a few times, and put it on the back of the chain armor. Bring your weapon.

"Quick! Come on, the vanguard are waiting for our support, brothers."

He urged his soldiers, and personally helped these recruits put on their combat bows and chain armor. Although he was a recruit, he already had the aura that a grassroots commander should have under his anxiety.

A few minutes later, the heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the warehouse. Illidan saw these guys rushing out in style, and immediately glanced at Jarod, who was leading the way, in surprise.

He felt as if he had found a treasure.

If he can come back, he must introduce this talented young man to High Lord Ravencrest.

And after noticing the magic sword on Jarod's back and the magic arrows carried by the soldiers, Illidan grinned, threw the hippogryph reins to him, and praised:

"This is a magical weapon that only lieutenants are qualified to use. Well, you have a good vision. I hope your combat skills are as strong as your vision.

Set off! "

——

Xianglong's flying speed was very fast. Thirty minutes after leaving Suramar City, Candle Dragon flew to Suramar with Shaohao and the Monkey King on his back, as well as Miss Maiev Shadowsong who came to act as a guide. Near the mountains southeast of the Great Plains.

This is the only way to the elves' capital Xin Aisa Li, as long as you climb over the mountain, you can overlook the magnificent capital.

"There they are!"

In the sky, the monkey looked left and right half-heartedly, and soon found traces of people moving in the forest, but in fact, the Monkey King was not needed to guide the direction, because both Shaohao and Maiev saw the flames burning in the mountains and forests. The raging fire.

A demon is on the march!

Those destroyers from other worlds are setting fire to the mountain. This is definitely not to hunt down those fugitives, they are simply enjoying the fun of destruction.

Shaohao pulled the rein with a cold face, and let the candle dragon fly to a higher place to provide a better view. After three minutes, they approached the burning forest, and set their sights on the plain on the other side of the mountain.

In the next moment, everyone held their breath.

A black "turbidity current" has run through the plains of Zin-Azshari.

They are marching here from the elf capital, not only the noisy and terrifying legion that turned into ruins on the ground, but also the chaotic mephits and flying demons in the sky.

They are like a dark cloud blocking the light, moving towards Suramar

Do not!

Not just Suramar!

With Shaohao's eyesight, he could clearly see that there were other demon legions advancing in other directions in the distance.

The once-glorious Zin-Azshari has become a nest of evil on the earth, and the filthy ones bred from that nest are polluting this land of elves like ink poured into a basin.

"It's just their vanguard."

Shaohao thought of the future prophecy he saw in the holy land of the Jinyu people. He thought of the barren land that was completely polluted by the power of evil energy in front of his eyes. The doomsday scene stimulated the emperor's mind and made him hold his hand tightly. The Dragon Staff in his hand.

"Save them, the demons are killing them."

Maiev's focus is on the ground.

Those elves who escaped from Zin-Azshari are being hunted by a large group of demon hounds. Although some spellcasters are constantly opening portals to let others escape, these fugitives are exhausted after being chased for several days .

It is impossible for them to escape the pursuit of the demons, but they are still alive. The only explanation is that the demons regard them as hunted "beasts" to enjoy their terror and make fun of it.

"Miss Priest, you come to control my Xianglong."

Shaohao also saw the miserable innocents on the ground, and he handed the reins to Maiev, saying:

"You come to guide them in the direction of escape, and the Monkey King and I will block reinforcements for you and buy time."

"this"

Maiev was shocked by Shaohao's actions, she said:

"You are a noble emperor! You cannot do such a dangerous thing."

"Your empress is also an emperor, and she shouldn't do such a bad thing."

Shaohao shook his head and said:

"It is not the way of chivalry to see death and refuse to save it."

After finishing speaking, the chubby and furry emperor jumped down from the fast-falling Xianglong, aroused his true energy in the air and turned into a flying phantom of a blue flying dragon, and smashed into the ferocious flying dragon amidst the deep dragon chant. Among the demon hounds.

When it landed, the shock from the powerful zhenqi sent those disgusting low-ranking demons flying away, and then spun its body in a deadly circle amidst the scattering of blue light feathers, sweeping away the surrounding enemies like an elegant crane.

"Aww"

The golden cloud serpent descended from the sky, and the candle dragon was also angered by the ugly breath of these demons.

It raised its head and spewed golden dragon breath towards the ground. The flame full of positive energy ignited the forest and created a burning golden wall of fire to separate the refugees from the demons.

"Big big big!"

The Monkey King flicked his tail lightly and landed on the ground, waving his plain and simple monk stick. Under its happy call, the stick in his hand continued to grow bigger and thicker like magic, and finally it was like a battering ram. Also caught in the hands of the monkey demigod, it roared and swept away. Under the astonished gaze of the elf refugees, this round smashed the demons that hunted them into the air.

They don't know who these helpers are, but at this moment these two guys are undoubtedly their saviors.

"My countrymen! Come with me!"

Maiev, lying on Candle Dragon's head, shouted loudly:

"Elune will guide your way. Fear not, bring up the children and the wounded, and the others move forward! High Lord Ravencrest has set up a position in the Great Temple.

Go there and you'll be safe!

quick!

follow me! "

There was a burst of cheering and crying from the crowd. Seeing the familiar Priest of the Moon appear in this dangerous place, it was like a booster injected into the devastated hearts of these poor people, allowing them to burst out with more courage to persevere to the end of the escape.

"Sister! Sister is there!"

While Maiev was gathering the refugees, Garald and his group who rushed over on the Hippogryph also saw the Golden Serpent and Maiev, which made Garald breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he heard his "conscience" say to him:

"Alternate cover, clear the airspace, protect these refugees on the periphery and move towards the position. They will spread your bravery and wisdom, Jarod, you will be a hero after this battle."

"I don't want to be a hero."

Garald made a few gestures and directed the excited soldiers to disperse. He said to Bo Laike in his heart:

"I just want to protect these innocent people."

"Yes, that's it, just tell yourself that."

Bu Laike said with a drawn out voice:

"Protective desire, this is a beautiful character shared by all heroes. Although I don't understand it, I don't stop you from having it. Go, do what you should do, don't worry about your sister.

I will protect her. "

"Huh? You're here for your sister?"

Garrod blinked in surprise. He took off the bow on his back and put an arrow on the mephit that jumped down from the sky, saying:

"Mysterious man, are you pursuing my sister?"

No one answered him.

Obviously, the crumb pirates who traveled through time and space for Maiev were unwilling to answer this stupid question.
