Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Under the night of Azuna, a group of Sha'dorei Demon Saber Knights were marching quickly and silently on the deserted land.

There are arcane eyes all around them, constantly scouting the surroundings for the vanguard, and using the arcane eyes as a node, a large-scale concealment spell is released on these Sha'dorei elites.

They have solemn expressions, majestic postures and extremely fast speeds.

These elite magic swordsmen from the Night Fortress are well-trained and guard the arcane masters at the center of the team. The purple magic saber leopards under their crotches are even more armor-clad and move like the wind.

They can even complete the difficult action of pouring magic wine into their mouths while running fast.

Well, this is probably also the characteristic of the Shaldorei.

They can't do anything without this thing. Even when they engage in some intimate and ambiguous things with the opposite sex, they have to put a few glasses of magic wine on the bedside, and it's not just for fun.

Grand Magister Elisande and Grand Astrologer Etraeus discussed various elven forces in the world of Azeroth, although their discussions were filled with inappropriate arrogance and sarcasm.

But it has to be said that the Grand Magister does have the capital to stand out from the rest.

The number of such elite Sha'dorei magic warriors in the Night Fortress is extremely staggering. Perhaps the entire Nightborne of Suramar has fallen into disrepair during the ten thousand years of peace.

But Elisande did not indulge in illusions of peace.

During these ten thousand years, she has always maintained the combat effectiveness of her elite legion. To describe the tyranny of the Grand Mage's soldiers in one sentence, that is:

The veterans of this magic army have fought in ancient wars!

However, in such an elite vanguard force, there was a somewhat unharmonious scene. In the center of the formation of the armored armored leopard guards that were running fast, there was an out-of-place magic chariot, which was being carried forward rapidly by magic power.

This thing is usually used by the nobles of Suramar for their servants to carry when going out. It should not appear in such a vanguard army at all.

But there is no way, this is also a last resort.

Because there are patients here.

"Poor Valtroy, does the wound still hurt?"

Thalyssra, the mute chief arcanist, was sitting on the magic chariot, bringing a small glass of magic wine to the mouth of the pale-faced high-level arcanist Valtroy, who was covered in rune bandages. .

The latter's painful forehead was covered with cold sweat. Because of her neck injury, she couldn't even speak now.

This pitiful gesture made Thalyssa feel distressed.

In the failed magic raid a day ago, Valtroy, the unlucky guy, was the most seriously injured among the three high-level spellcasters, probably because she was the closest when the portal exploded.

Being hit head-on by the violent and terrifying magic, he was lucky to be able to survive.

"Damn pirates!"

Thalyssra fed Valtroy the magic wine, scolded the pirate for being shameless, then took out an emerald-green wand, lightly tapped her good friend's forehead, and a sleeping spell was released on the patient.

Let the seriously injured poisonous tongue girl Valtroy fall into a drowsy sleep.

"She should be sent back to Suramar City."

Next to the magic chariot, the chief teleporter Oculus, who was riding on the magic saber, also covered half of his swollen face and said vaguely to Thalyssra:

"Such an injury must be treated by a therapist, otherwise it is likely to cause disability. Based on my understanding of Valtroy, if she gets scars on her face, it will probably be more uncomfortable than killing her."

"I also know she has to be sent back to the city, but not now."

Thalyssra looked at the Azsuna wilderness in the night before her. She gritted her teeth and drank a glass of magic wine herself.

The chief arcanist was also seriously injured, but because of her strength, she narrowly avoided the magic vortex in the explosion. However, her right arm was now covered with bandages and she could not lift it up, let alone cast a spell. .

she says:

"This is military affairs now, and we all have a mission. To open the large portal that allows the Demon Swordsman Legion to pass through, the magic power of Azuna's underground magic network must be extracted.

Valtroy's deep understanding and skillful use of the Magic Network are an indispensable part of our mission.

She had to persevere.

We must also persevere.

Fortunately, we are finally here. Tomorrow afternoon, we will arrive at the bay of Watch Island. As soon as the portal is completed, I will send Valtroy back to the city as soon as possible. "

Oculus fell silent.

He is an old elf. During the War of the Ancients, he was still a young man and was fortunate enough to participate in logistics work. He knows that military affairs are military affairs, and there is no human touch.

The highborne elves have a very corrupt lifestyle, but they are not afraid of fighting.

The legions under Lord Curtalos Ravencrest, Lord of Black Crow Castle, who once stood up to resist the demonic invasion, are known for their discipline.

Those are the elites who can confront the demon army head-on.

Suramar's army is not as powerful as that kind of army, but once military law is enforced, it will be ruthless. What's more, the other commander of this raid is still a very annoying guy.

Fandos, another advisor to the Grand Magister, is a leader among arcanists. This guy is Elisande's die-hard loyalist. The most troublesome thing is that he has some old grudges with Thalyssra.

If something goes wrong on Valtroy's side and the raid fails, both he and Thalyssra will be implicated and may even be banished from Suramar.

And Valtroy, who was seriously injured, also knew this.

This girl with a very venomous tongue gritted her teeth and persisted, not indicating that she had to return to the city for treatment. She was also worried that her problems would implicate her friends.

"I think this action is a bit risky."

Oculus drove the magic saber and said to Thalyssra on the magic chariot:

"The Watchers have never pointed their swords at their compatriots, but they were so famous in the ancient war that it would be difficult to capture the prison they guarded by just relying on the surprise attack of the magic swordsmen.

This is a fight on someone else's territory. How could the Grand Magister come up with such a stupid battle plan? "

"madness?"

The Chief Arcanist shook her head, and she lowered her voice and said:

"Elesande is not stupid. The Watchers are powerful, but in Azsuna, we are not the only enemies they have to face.

You have also seen the map. Let me ask you, what is across the strait of Watch Island? "

"A bunch of sea giants."

Oculus replied:

"It's called Oceanus Sea Cave, and it's the kingdom of the sea giants throughout the Broken Islands."

"Who do those sea giants serve?"

Thalyssra asked again.

This time the chief teleporter didn't answer. Obviously, he already knew the grand mage's plan.

"What a good plan."

Oculus smiled, shook his head and said:

"But do we really want to release Illidan Stormrage? I have heard the story about the Dark Walker. He doesn't seem like someone who would help the Grand Magister."

"This. This involves some military secrets."

Thalyssra hesitated, but in the end she did not send the information to her friends, but said vaguely:

“A male lion leading a group of sheep can easily defeat a group of lions led by a sheep. Without the control of the lion king, no matter how powerful the group of lions is, they will fall apart and find their own way out.

Oculus, my friend.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Great Magister just because of her arrogance. "

——

Also on this night, Nora, the ancestral turtle scroll sage who was temporarily staying on the Alpaca, suddenly came to the Nagfar in a small boat and told the family the news she had just received. Homework Blake.

"What did you say? Nagas are gathering quickly? What's going on?"

When Blake heard Nora's report, he immediately frowned and said:

"Those vengeful soft-skinned snakes are planning to return to Azsuna? To avenge us?"

"No, probably not."

Nora was also a little scared now.

The ancestor tortoises have a lot of knowledge, but are timid. This is normal. The longer they live, the more they realize the preciousness of life. Moreover, the turtles and Naga have a feud, and any news about Naga will make them very concerned.

She said to Blake:

"This news was sent by our tribe who were hunting for treasure in Stormheim. They saw the gathering of Nagas in the outer sea, and even the Naga clan from the High Mountains came all the way here.

But the direction they are heading is not from us, but to the southernmost point of Azsuna.

Right there in the kingdom of the sea giants.

No one knows what they want to do.

But I guess the Nagas are going to unite the sea giants to do something big. Mr. Black, we have obtained the Tidestone. There is nothing worth missing here. "

The Scroll Sage blinked and urged:

"Let's go quickly, leave this place of right and wrong, and leave with the treasures before the Nagas complete their mobilization! They may be here for the Tide Stone."

"No, Azshara doesn't like this thing at all, otherwise she wouldn't have broken it ten thousand years ago."

The pirate shook his head, put down the quill in his hand, rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Let me think about it, besides the sea giants, there is something else in the sea south of Azsuna. That's wrong! There is a force there that I have been deliberately ignoring.

Watch Island.

That's the Watchers' base camp and prison, isn't it? Where is the goal of the Nagas? Have they had enough of living, and have they gone all the way to find the wardens to commit suicide? "

Blake shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were somewhat nonsensical. He said:

"Even if you add the giants of the sea, you can't break through the defense of the Watcher. It is blessed by the magic of the Sisters of Elune. It is shrouded in fog all year round and very important people are imprisoned.

It is estimated that there is also the sealing magic of the druids on the island.

The Nagas would not be so stupid. Unless Azshara came in person, with the strength of the Naga clan on the Broken Islands, they would not even be able to get close to Watch Island.

magic magic"

The pirate commander was about to persuade the timid turtle man to relax.

But when he saw the magic test papers placed in front of him, a bold idea suddenly crossed his mind.

It is true that the Nagas cannot break the magic barrier on Watch Island, but there is a group of guys on the Broken Islands who are very good at using magic, and they are very close to Azsuna!

"Children of the Night? No way!"

Blake turned around, took out a rough map of Azuna that he had drawn, and spread it out in front of his eyes. His fingers landed on the southernmost island of Azuna, and drew another line, connecting it to Sura. In the city of Ma.

"Saphire!"

The pirate shouted, and the parasaurus immediately appeared next to the captain.

"Call Anarres over. No, let her go to her new subordinates and ask if they have found any traces of the Children of the Night in Suramar City near the ruins of Zahnar in the past few days."

Seeing Blake's serious expression, the Pirate Dragon immediately disappeared into the cabin. After an excruciating ten minutes, Sephiel brought back the news.

She said to Blake:

"Those exiles have never seen the elves of Suramar.

But one of the low-level arcanists said that a few days ago, near the border of Suramar, he saw a magic explosion from a distance, which looked like a portal exploding.

He said that when he was studying in Suramar City, he had seen the explosion of the portal, which was exactly the same as what he saw that day. "

"Ha, I know."

A smile appeared on Blake's face. He stretched out his hand and gave the map a hard hammer and said:

"The Children of the Night have united with the Nagas. No, no, no. Based on Elisande's attitude towards Azshara, it's probably not an alliance, but a deliberate release of the news so that the Nagas can take advantage of the situation.

But those soft-skinned snakes didn't know that they were also being used by the Grand Magister.

If my guess is correct, the vanguard of the casters of Dark Night Fortress are almost arriving near Watch Island. Classic Shal'dorei magic raid tactics.

These guys really took the portal tactic to the extreme.

They want to attack Watch Island!

Well, is it for the group of dark walkers who have been imprisoned for ten thousand years? Elisande is really ambitious. Why does she think she has the ability to control those dark walkers?

Only Brother Dan can do that”

At this point, the pirate suddenly stopped talking.

Sephiel beside him had his eyes widened, and the first parasaurus asked:

"Then what should we do? Should we leave quickly? Or inform the watchers in advance?"

"Are you stupid?"

Black turned around and glared at Sephiel who said something stupid. He picked up the quill, drew a big X on the Watch Island on the map, and said:

"Why are we leaving? And why do we need to notify the watchers in advance? Are we familiar with them? Or are they very nice to us?

Do not be silly!

It's rare that Elisande creates such a good opportunity for us.

If you don't make a fortune, you would be sorry for the big thing that the Children of the Night are going to do! Set sail and transfer all the elites to the Nagfar, and we'll go 'busy' too.

Where is my idol?

Well, the third idol in my heart is after Sargeras and...ahem. "

The pirate didn't finish speaking. He looked back at Sephiel, stretched out his palm towards the first parasaurus, and said:

"Ten gold coins, bring them!"

"And the last time I made a bet with Windrunner's mother, it was only twenty gold coins. Tsk tsk, look at you, you have bad luck in gambling. Don't bet with anyone in the future.

Avoid being defrauded of money and sex by those who are interested.

But not everyone is as kind as me, my silly first mate. "
