Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1828 54. The Silent Gives Ravencrest Military Advice

High Lord Ravencrest has been very busy these days.

He originally thought that after the battle in Suramar, he would be able to calm down and rectify the current system of the rebel army to prepare for the next big battle, but unexpectedly, the plan could not be compared with the changes.

In particular, a thick letter that inexplicably appeared on my desk yesterday completely changed the steady and steady strategy that the great lord had formulated before. The intelligence was too frightening, to the point where the plan had to be changed.

"The great lord is here!"

When the guard's voice sounded outside the door.

The rebel commanders who had gathered in Lord Suramar's hall stopped chatting and got up in unison. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least at this moment, they all acted very professionally and bravely.

Originally, there were more than 20 commanders in the military system of Black Rook Castle, but there were only so many who came back alive after a Suramar battle. Of course, there were some "lucky ones" among them. The addition of these fresh blood made La Lord Wenkaisi seems to have a lot of talents under his command.

And the most eye-catching boy among these commanders is Jarod Shadowsong, a young man who was unknown more than ten days ago.

The speed of his rise is beyond imagination, but the credit is all real.

Among other things, the tauren warriors who went from Highmountain to Black Rook Castle and Suramar to support them these days, as well as the elite families of the demigods of the wilderness, were managed by this humble young man. The ability has been unanimously recognized by the entire resistance army, and there are gossip that Lord Jarod is secretly communicating with the powerful dragon.

If he can also pull the guardian dragon into the camp of the rebels, then the other commanders will undoubtedly have a lot more courage on the battlefield. However, Lord Ravencrest and his generals and commanders are still a "rebel army" in name.

Of course, judging from the civilians and some minor nobles who have hurriedly fled to the vicinity of Suramar and Valshara to escape the war in the towns and cities of the empire in recent days, it is enough to see that the Elf Empire has a strong support for it at this time.

No matter how wise the queen is, that is a thing of the past.

Now the queen has attracted demons to invade Azeroth, and the demons are destroying and killing everywhere under her connivance, but anyone with a little brain knows who is the righteous party.

Except for Farondis, who had been "executed" by Azshara, the seven magic princes had already expressed their support to the high-level rebels. Less than five days after the victory in the Suramar War, a The net against Azshara's tyranny has been opened.

This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the elf empire, but for the commanders in front of them, no matter whether they are optimistic about the great cause of Lord Ravencrest to set things right, they already have a feeling in their hearts. The feeling of "participating in history".

"sit!"

Ravencrest, who was still a little pale, strode into the conference room wearing a black armor and under the protection of two grand arcanists.

His expression was calm and he couldn't see what was in his heart, but with a wave of his hand, the whole conference room sat down in unison, still exuding a kind of self-evident majesty.

He didn't waste time in exchanging pleasantries, and said directly:

"I have received important information that our previous strategy regarding our enemy, the Burning Legion, has gone awry.

The fact that we defeated the demon army on the battlefield once made me feel that the demons are not invincible, but in fact, not a single demon was actually killed in that battle!

Gentlemen, demons are immortal!

We killing them in the material world will only allow their dark sheltered souls to return to their lair, and it will only take a short time for those resurrected demons to return to the front line through their intergalactic war system.

This has been confirmed by the two great arcanists and the priest of the moon god.

I think this is probably the reason why Azshara's legion has been standing still. She is well aware of the way demons fight, and the vicious queen hopes to consume our army with demon cannon fodder.

We must change tack immediately. "

The high lord's frankness made all the commanders in front of him frown. This is indeed terrible bad news.

After the victory in the Suramar War, the morale of the rebel army remained good.

Although the demons are ferocious, as long as they can be killed, they are not worth fearing. However, if these destroyers of alien planets have some kind of immortality, then the nature of this problem is different.

Ravencrest didn't stop the commanders from discussing in low voices. He glanced at Elisande next to him, and then at Ms. Blue Moon. The two magic troop commanders of the rebel army nodded to him.

So three minutes later, the great lord knocked on the table, and an elf had released the strategy brought by the great lord above the conference hall in the form of magic projection.

Ravencrest coughed and said:

"This is the new strategy. We must avoid the edge of the demons, send the most elite legion to attack Zin-Azshara, break through the obstacles of the demons and Azshara, and close the portal opened by the Burning Legion in our world.

This is our only chance of winning. "

"Sin Azshari?"

A huntress commander with a knife mark on her face stood up abruptly. The fiery elf sister looked at the high lord in disbelief. She said:

"It's already the devil's lair there! The high lord, the information brought back by the sky knights' desperate investigation said that the devil has completely fortified Xin Aisalie.

I'm not afraid of death, but it's not enough for Azshara to throw all of us in there. "

"Your information was wrong."

The great magister behind Ravencrest snorted, and said in a cold tone:

"The city where Azshara sits is not only guarded by an astonishing number of demon legions, but also two big demons whose strength is equal to Azshara's. If you count Azshara himself who may join the battle, our vanguard will face That's right, it is the most powerful force in the world, bar none."

"Don't forget Azshara's Janissaries."

Ms. Lanyue also quietly said:

"That's the queen's absolute loyalty. Commanded by Lord Xavius, the queen's bodyguard Varosen, who is capable of fighting, is the commander. Even if there are no demons, that loyal army alone is difficult enough to deal with."

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely oppressive. Garald looked left and right, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he didn't care about other things, stood up and said:

"We have the support of demigods, gentlemen, elite soldiers from all over the empire have arrived one after another, and the army under Lord Ravencrest is increasing day by day.

We also have powerful allies!

Those were the Highmountain Tauren with artifacts in their hands, the brave demigod family bearmen and wild boars, the forest guardians and dryads hidden deep in the forest, and the army of war treemen. Ms. Aviana's eyes were all over the sky earth. "

Jarod's voice became more and more sonorous. He was trying to instill courage into his comrades. He said loudly:

"Don't forget, we still have our people!

The Sisterhood of Elune established a new High Priest of the Moon yesterday, and Ms. Tyrande Windspeaker, Ms. Elune's Chosen One, has issued a war call to all brothers and sisters who believe in the Moon God throughout the empire.

The demons are brutal and immortal, and Azshara has a huge advantage, but so what?

We also have our advantages!

What's more, if we put down our weapons and kneel and surrender now, will the mad queen let us go? She is willing to lenient, but those brutal ogre demons will let us swagger away?

We've all been on the battlefield.

We saw with our own eyes how the Ruin ate our soldiers, draining their souls, folks! In their eyes, we are just food!

This is no longer the time when the enemy is strong and we can retreat to keep safe. This is a war with no retreat at all! No defeat, no surrender, no retreat!

Either win!

or die! "

"Well said! The devil doesn't treat us as human beings at all. You have already won once, and I believe you can win again!"

Huon Gaoling, who was still in bandages, was also in attendance as the commander-in-chief of the Rebel allies.

After Garald finished speaking, the brave big black bull was the first to stand up and applaud, and looked at the frightened elves with contemptuous eyes.

Beside Hu En, Ursol's chosen shaman, a white bear elder with a bear tooth pendant and holding a forest staff, also nodded continuously, and gave the title of "Warrior" to the young Jarod Shadow. Song.

Lord Ravencrest also looked at this young boy who was agitated but trying to calm himself down with a very appreciative look.

He didn't blame Jarod at all for stealing his limelight as the great lord on this formal occasion, but he felt that that kid Illidan had indeed recommended a real talent to him.

Alas, it is a pity for Illidan.

At the end of the message sent to his desk, Illidan told Ravencrest the truth about his situation.

The great lord knew that Illidan, who had become a half-demon, could no longer return to the ranks of the rebels, and he knew that this information was almost bought by Illidan with all his reputation and future life.

The higher-ups may understand Illidan's sacrifice.

But for the civilians, an elf who has taken refuge in the devil is an out-and-out "betrayer". This stigma will eventually accompany Illidan for life.

"Commander Jarod, how is the negotiation with the dragon going?"

The high lord stretched out his hand to suppress the noise in the venue, looked at Garald and asked softly, and Garald bowed to the high lord, and said in a deep voice:

"The red dragon queen and the green dragon queen have agreed to help the rebels. The bronze dragon army will give us an answer this afternoon. The envoy of the black dragon army has not yet returned to Suramar.

The blue dragonflight is also willing to help us, but they have conditions. "

Brother Yingge sighed, and he whispered to the high lord:

"The blue dragons are extremely dissatisfied with the empire's abuse of magic. They claim to be the guardians of magic and demand that they take over the Well of Eternity after ending Azshara's tyranny."

This sentence made the faces of other commanders, especially the upper elves, change drastically, but the high lord and his own Arcanist advisor looked at each other, and said in a deep voice without hesitation:

"Promise them!"

"yes."

Jarod nodded.

Afterwards, the great lord looked at the commanders in front of him, and said:

"Zin-Azshari seems to be indestructible, but Commander Jarod said very well, this is a war that concerns the future of the empire and the future of all elves. Our strength comes not only from our courage, but also from the people's will." support.

There is a piece of news that I have kept until now, and I think it's time to tell everyone.

The rebels still have some allies, and they're in Azshara's city right now, we don't even need to take that city head-on, we just need to close the portal!

Then"

The great lord clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. He looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Then, the event has been decided!"

The entire conference room was silent for a moment, and then a fighting spirit rose. The great lord had already arranged everything for them, and it was time for them to express their determination with practical actions.

"Each army selects elites to form a vanguard army!"

Lord Ravencrest waved his hand and said:

"Leave in two days!"

——

"You can't do that."

When Ravencrest finished the meeting, gave his subordinates blood, and returned to his room with the exhaustion of the wounded, a faint voice rang in his ears.

The great lord is a soldier who has been a soldier all his life. Although his absolute strength may not be the best in the empire, he is also an absolute brave man. He drew his sword the moment he realized that there was a stranger.

But when he looked back at the room, it was empty.

It's just that the scene in front of me seems to be shining and spinning, gathering to form a strange figure in black robes, the shadows seem to be composed of smoke.

"Your Excellency?"

The great lord narrowed his eyes, held his sword and asked:

"Azshara sent you to take my life?"

"she?"

The figure smiled strangely and said:

"She still can't afford to hire me to assassinate. I'm just a righteous person passing by here. As an upright person, I can't turn a blind eye to the already turbulent situation, let alone watch the hopes of the elves being ruined.

I have come to give you a piece of military advice, High Lord.

I'm your friend, at least for now. "

"I don't have friends who hide their heads and show their tails."

The great lord laughed. He could feel the breath of the blue moon approaching, which made him relax. Ravencrest put the saber in his hand back into the scabbard. Looking at the figure in front of him, he said:

"But you can listen to suggestions. It doesn't cost money anyway, right?"

"Business at a loss."

The smoky figure snorted, and didn't hold back anymore, and said directly:

"You know that the key to the problem lies in the Well of Eternity, and Azshara also knows that even if Dath'Remar Sunstrider is there to help the rebels in Xin Azshali, it will be even more difficult for your army to get close to the Well of Eternity .

Azshara may have been mad, but she was not stupid, and anyone who underestimated her intelligence would pay the price.

In order for the vanguard to succeed in the first battle, the rebels have to pay more.

least.

One of the two big demons guarding the capital had to be called out, otherwise, no matter how many people went there, they would die. Obviously, you don't have a clear understanding of the top combat power of the Burning Legion.

Demigods may be powerful, but in the eyes of the polluters, they are just delicious souls that can be tasted at any time. "

Ravencrest frowned.

He said:

"The actions of the vanguard are naturally supported by the main force of the rebel army. My allies and I will personally lead the army to advance towards Xin Aisalie."

"Not enough, far from enough."

The Silent One in the smoke looked at the High Lord Kutalos Ravencrest in front of him, and said:

"It's not a rational choice to jump into the devil's lair, and your grand magister told you, once the Well of Eternity is detonated, what kind of shock will it bring to this world?

You must be smarter.

After all, after defeating the demons and forcing the Queen to abdicate, the elves still have to live their lives. Are you not afraid of chaos after the war if you bury all the last loyal warriors of the empire at once?

You have to fight the demons on your own territory, give enough stage to those young people who can support the next era of elf civilization, and leave the seeds of prosperity for the next generation.

This is the smartest choice. "

"I think so too, but the devil won't listen to me. The initiative in war has never been on our side."

Ravencrest shook his head, he felt that the guy in front of him was simply dreaming.

"I can help you, it's easy."

Lord the Silent said softly:

"But you may have to pay a small price"

"What price?"

The great lord asked curiously.

The next moment, he felt a chill added to his body, like the shadow of death exhaling cold air on his shoulders, making Ravencrest's body stiff.

Then, he heard the guy in front of him say:

"The life of Lord Kutalos Ravencrest will be the most beautiful sacrifice for victory. Will you?"
