When Sharlayan and Valeera entered the Emerald Dream together, in Quel'Thalas, the northernmost part of the Eastern Kingdom, someone happened to be discussing something related to them.

Even with a flying mount, it took more than a month to fly over half of Kalimdor.

After the end of the Second Orc War, because of Terenas Menethil's continuous teasing operations, the once united alliance fell apart.

Gilneas, Stormgard, and Kul Tiras left angrily one after another, and Quel'Thalas also took the opportunity to withdraw from this sour organization.

But the political struggle in the rear has not affected the soldiers on the front line for the time being.

The main force of the Alliance led by Turayang is still stationed in the Blasted Lands, closely monitoring the movement of the Dark Portal.

The war is over, and due to the consideration of food consumption, the organization does not need to hoard too many troops.

When the armies of all countries began to return, Sylvanas also led the ranger troops to return.

Both Vereesa and Lailas followed in the returning team, and the Windrunner family was missing only their eldest sister, Aurelia.

Cirvanas, Vereesa, and Lyras all belong to the ranger army, and they are regular troops that must obey the orders of their superiors.

But Alleria is different. She is the leader of the Farstriders and has a great right to act independently. The Farstriders and rangers under her command do not directly obey the orders of the Sun King.

The mages headed by Khadgar, Kel'Thuzad, and Dreden have come to a conclusion and are trying to close the Dark Portal.

Alleria decided to stay in the cursed land for a period of time. She always felt that the tribe would not admit defeat so honestly.

When the seventh year of the Dark Portal came, Sharlayan and Valeera had just entered the Emerald Dream, and Melia Xingyu, who was far away in the Tower of Morningstar in the Eversong Forest, suddenly received an encrypted arcane message.

"This is……"

Melia at the observatory on the top of the tower frowned puzzled, and used the equipment of the Morning Star Tower to analyze the source of the signal.

"... Kalimdor? No way."

After many calculations, Melia got the same results.

This encrypted signal came from Kalimdor on the far side of the sea, and the information contained in it was even more unbelievable to her.

"Hiss~ The Highborne who have survived since ancient times...are you kidding me?"

The full text of the message is not long, but the content is powerful enough.

A group of highborne elves who called themselves Syndra hoped to relocate their family to Quel'Thalas, and entrusted Melia to find out what the Sun King had said. The letter also included the marks of Sharlayan and Valeera.

For such an important matter, even an incomprehensible person like Melia would not dare to make a claim.

Melia has always been a loner, and has a bad relationship with the noble mages in Silvermoon City. The signal received by the Tower of Morning Star far in the south of the forest was not noticed by anyone.

After hundreds of years, Melia teleported back to Silvermoon City after a long absence.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the major incidents she caused have been gradually forgotten, and people on the street have long been unable to recognize this person who was once called the "witch" by countless people.

Putting on the hood and hurried away, Melia got in touch with the Royal Archmage Rommath through the communication channels left before, and successfully entered the palace that night to meet the Sun King and Prince Kael'thas.

"Sharlayan?"

Hearing this name, Anasteria, who was originally a little lazy, immediately sat up straight.

"Kael'thas, release the message."

"Yes, father."

The prince of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas, returned to China half a year ago. After a series of open and secret struggles, he finally gained a firm foothold in the country and began to attack the traditional nobles represented by the Silver Moon Council step by step.

This tug-of-war under the table is very difficult. The power of the traditional nobles is deeply ingrained. The Sunstrider royal family can only try their best to win over the meritorious nobles who rose after the Troll War.

Among them are the Deep Shadow Family and the Sangunar Family.

After the defense of Quel'Thalas ended, the four great nobles gradually lost their power, replaced by the small and medium nobles who bet on the Silvermoon Council.

Of course, it is impossible for the four great nobles to just watch the family decline, but after losing a large number of members of the radical faction at one time, it will not be possible to restore their vitality in a year or two.

If they don't want to be crushed by the torrent of the times, they have to choose between the royal family and the traditional aristocracy.

According to common sense, the four aristocrats who are the apex of the traditional nobility should of course stand by the Silver Moon Council.

But here comes the problem. The faction with radical ideas has been secretly executed by Anasteria, and the faction that remains is more moderate and more inclined to cooperate with the royal family.

Most of the younger generations of the four nobles, such as Matis Yanying and Solanlian Morningstar, stood firmly on the side of the royal party.

Taking this as a breakthrough, Anasteria and Kael'thas adopted a vertical and horizontal strategy to divide the four originally united nobles and completely win over the Flaming Eagle Family and the Morning Star Family.

The actions of the Sun King and the prince were very quick. The two acted separately, changing the overall situation overnight, and the traditional nobles did not react at all.

Seeing that Yan Ying and Chen Xing, who were old rivals and old friends at the same time, moved their butts first, the Sun Shadow Family and the Huo Yu Family panicked, and fell into the arms of the Royal Party one after another under the old king's subtle and silent means.

The four major nobles all joined the royal party faction, and the balance of power between the royal court and the traditional nobles finally became obviously unbalanced.

At this point, the internal struggle in Quel'Thalas became clearer.

Although the traditional aristocrats based on the Silvermoon Council are still stubbornly resisting, everyone who knows the truth behind the scenes knows that their time is running out.

In order to prevent the traditional aristocrats from taking risks, Anasteria showed the courage of his youth for a long time.

He mobilized all the four major armies to station near Silvermoon City, and quickly recalled the main force of the ranger troops from the front line, blocking all the possibility of the opponent jumping over the wall in a hurry.

In order not to let this internal struggle have too much impact on Quel'Thalas, Anasterian didn't want to force it too quickly, and he planned to use the method of boiling frogs in warm water to figure it out slowly.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, the tired Sun King was about to take a good rest.

Melia, who has lived in the "countryside" for a long time, brought a big news at this time.

"Syndra of Eldre'Thalas..."

Anastria's increasingly cloudy eyes flashed memories: "When I was a child, I heard my great-grandfather Dath'Remar mention them."

"Before deciding to go east, Dath'Remar sent people to Elesalas to try to get in touch with Syndra and invite them to leave Kalimdor together."

"Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end."

Anasterian shook his head with a laugh and said, "I never thought that thousands of years later, Syndra's name could be heard again, and they even volunteered to join Quel'Thalas."

"Heh~ Sharlayan, after the in-depth cooperation with Kul Tiras, this little guy has brought us another surprise."

Kael'thas also showed a smile on his face: "Perhaps this is the so-called luck. Sharlayan himself may not have had much thought, but what he did did bring benefits to Quel'Thalas." .”

Melia, who hadn't been involved in the political inner circle for a long time, didn't know what the king and his son were talking about, but she knew it and didn't ask too much.

Archmage Romanth asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, then this matter..."

Anasteria put his right hand on the arm of the chair to support the side of his face, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while before speaking again.

"Quite! Prince Kael'thas will be solely responsible for this matter."

"Remember, don't say anything, treat these Syndra scholars as a secret hole card, and play them when necessary."

After learning the way of thick darkness with his father for half a year, Kael'thas quickly understood what he meant, and said with a knowing smile: "Obey, father, I will let them stay in the southern part of the forest for the time being."

"Melia."

Melia, who was distracted, hurriedly lowered her head and responded, "Your Highness, please order."

Kael'thas smiled at her meaningfully: "Your Morning Star Tower has been in disrepair for a long time, it's time to expand the inner space."

"Starting tomorrow, the royal family will secretly provide you with all the resources you need to expand the mage tower, and you must make proper arrangements for the distinguished guests coming from afar."

‘Hey~ I am afraid that my quiet and leisurely days will be gone forever. '

Melia complained incessantly, but on the surface she still maintained a respectful attitude to accept the task.

Compared to the last time she parted from Sharlayan, Anasterian's face became even older.

After Melia left, he turned his head and looked at the starry night sky outside the window, with a smile on his face unconsciously.

"That kid's movements are really fast. He did such a big thing just after arriving in Kalimdor."

Kael'thas jokingly said: "I'm looking forward to his next actions, and I hope he can make persistent efforts to persuade the night elves to form an alliance with Quel'Thalas."

The Sun King couldn't help laughing: "Hehe~ those distant relatives who hate arcane arts don't give up their stubborn ideas so easily, but..."

"That kid from Salayan has never played cards according to common sense. With his blood connection with the dragon clan, and the friendly relationship between the dragon clan and the night elves... who can say for sure?"

"Let's just wait with anticipation."
