Rise of the blood elves

517 [The turbulent situation in the main timeline]

At night the next day, Luo Ning slowly woke up.

It was a very uncomfortable sleep as the calming effects of sleeping pollen had completely worn off.Luo Ning felt that sleep not only failed to restore his energy, but instead turned his brain into a ball of mush, making him unable to wake up.

"Damn, it feels like I've been sleeping for a month."

Luo Ning remembered clearly what happened before the time travel.

He and his wife Vereesa were enjoying the joy of having a son and a daughter. A sudden call from twins Luoning, who had even thought of their names, broke the hard-won happiness.

It is the call of Crassus.

The other party claimed that Nozdormu, the guardian of time, sent a cry for help.As the guardian of time, the dilemma Nozdormu faces must be of great importance, and those who receive the information must bear the responsibility.

Ronin knew that Krasus was going to take him on another adventure.Because he trusted himself, just like a few years ago, he helped him rescue his lover, the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza.

Luo Ning didn't want to leave his wife, and even found thousands of reasons to convince himself to stay.

Like, this is an incredibly difficult time.

First, the "Prophet Angmar" who rose to fame during the Battle of Mount Hyjal, who is suspected to be the same person as the "Prophet" in ancient Night Elf legends, has been missing for several months. Prince Kael'thas was extremely worried, and the night elves kept sending people to search for him.

Second, the Kingdom of Stormwind joined the coalition of tribes.But many people, mainly some powerful mages, felt that there was something wrong with the countess named "Katlana Presto". She had been instigating the coalition forces of various races to attack her on the grounds of "eliminating the threat when it was just in the ascendant." The Forgotten War

Holy light is above, this

The third war has just ended, and the vitality of all the tribes has been severely damaged, but one wave after another has emerged.On the continent of Kalimdor, a new world-class war is brewing. The night elves are uniting with the orcs and Theramore, preparing to launch a general attack on the Ahn'Qiraj Fortress where the Ancient God is located, and are constantly sending troops to the Eastern Kingdom. ask.

The key is that the Eastern Continent also has its own worries.

Illidan almost used magic to tear apart the continent of Northrend, which almost allowed people to see the dawn of victory.Just because it was the base camp of the Scourge, the Scourge Legion was deeply damaged, and even the Lich King's power was weakened like never before.

The member states of the coalition of nations are all working hard to gather the remaining soldiers and gather all the forces they can, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to land in Northrend and launch the Northern Expedition in one go, leaving no chance for the Scourge to breathe.

At such a juncture, how could "internal" strife arise?

Luo Ning does not shy away from fighting, nor is he so stupid as to naively think that after the natural disaster is eliminated, the forgotten people will live in peace with the living.A war between the two sides is inevitable after all.

Every leader knows that although the Forgotten who harbor boiling resentment against the living will never collude with the coalition, at least in the face of natural disasters, both sides have common interests and hatred.Before the natural disaster is over, both sides should exercise restraint and eliminate the biggest threat first before talking about other matters.

But Countess Catalana doesn't think so.

Although her "theory of the threat of the Forsaken" is true, it is not appropriate for the time. She even deliberately incited people's hearts and accurately hit the pain points of the remnants of Lordaeron, so that the latter ignored the imminent threat and turned their attention to the Forsaken. .

Countess Katrana Presto of the Kingdom of Storm has completely transformed into a radical "leader of humanism" at this time.With the slogans of "recovering the land" and "driving out the aliens", in just one month, it has completely become a benchmark for the people that cannot be ignored.

First it was the remnants of Lordaeron, then the fallen nobles of the Kingdom of Stromgard, and then the Gilneans and even the original Kingdom of Alterac who had united under the command of Perenolde of Auriden to form the Syndicate Brotherhood, lost power. The nobles also united under her command, ignoring the dissuasion of other races and bent on waging war against the Forgotten.

The voices of the anti-forgotten people grew louder and louder, and the bilateral situation worsened. Seeing that a war was about to start in the lost land of Lordaeron, and the Northern Expedition was about to be interrupted, people realized how terrifying this woman was.

Driven by caring people, many well-known scholars and well-known social figures began to express their opinions and criticize various ethnic groups for their poor decision-making in the third war.

For example, the miscalculation of the spread of the plague, the previous inaction of various countries, Gilneas's indifference to the catastrophe faced by Lordaeron, and even the fact that humans ignored the blood elves who wanted to join the team for warmth, were all brought out and widely publicized.

The people are excited and indignant, asking the ruling class why they are so stupid. At a time when the human world is about to encounter a catastrophe, they are still playing the political game of watching the fire from the other side while you are weak, and then seeking benefits when you are weak;

Precious and hard-earned allies are still being turned away due to sectarianism.As a result, this war that could have been quickly ended through sincere unity turned into a huge pain that killed countless innocent people and turned a large area of ​​land into a plague wasteland.

The public's distrust of the ruling class has risen to unprecedented levels in a very short period of time.

Before the top leaders of the coalition could react, Countess Katrana Presto, who exposed all the political scandals, became the flag in the minds of the people at the bottom to clear away the dirty political haze and bring dawn to the entire human world.

北伐

No, we must first pacify the internal situation in order to fight against foreign aggression. The first step should be to clear out the Forsaken who occupy the land of Lordaeron, regain their homeland, eliminate the barriers between countries, and jointly create a beautiful future of great unity.

This is beyond everyone's expectations.

Not only the members of the Kirin Tor Council, including Ronin, but also the blood elves and dwarves, were all suspicious that the countess, who once controlled the national politics of the Kingdom of Stormwind and now had the unanimous admiration of the people at the bottom, was definitely not like It appears so simple on the surface.

Radical is just her disguise.

She is coercing public opinion and fooling and beguiling the people at the bottom.No matter what her real purpose is, if this continues, not only will the Northern Expedition be interrupted, but the disintegration of the coalition of various ethnic groups will also be imminent.

Some people even wonder whether Katrana Presto, a woman from the Presto family, a lower-class aristocracy in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, may be related to the Deathwing incident more than ten years ago.

Others don't know it, but the mages of Dalaran have confronted him head-on, and were deceived by him for several years by pretending to die.

After the Second War, Deathwing used the alias "Prestor" and sneaked into the Kingdom of Lordaeron to disrupt the politics of the Alliance. He was almost unanimously elected by Lordaeron and Gilneas and became the new king of the Kingdom of Alterac.

Katrana Presto

Incarnate as the Deathwing of Lord Presto who was supposed to die in the war.

What similar behaviors, what surprisingly consistent motives.

But no matter how the mages investigated, even if the legendary mages personally took action and used secret methods, they could not find anything abnormal about Katlana.

Katrana Presto

Seems really just an ambitious activist aristocrat.

But the opposite is true. Once, a mage who sneaked into his residence in Stormwind City to conduct a search discovered the shadow aura left in the air.And following the shadow breath, he found a box that was tightly protected by a protective spell.

The chest is made of dragon scales, and its protective spell is so tight that even the legendary mages of Dalaran and the Blood Elves cannot break it.

This means that it can be basically determined that the level of the spellcaster far exceeds the known range of mortals.It is impossible for Katrana to have such a level, nor to know such a magician.What could it be inside, and how could it emit a shadowy aura?

The senior coalition forces feel that this may be the breakthrough point in the mystery of Katlana Presto's identity, but it is impossible to arrest or summon her with great fanfare.The other party has already controlled the public opinion. If they make the slightest mistake, not to mention the backlash from the Kingdom of Stormwind, it is very likely to escalate into a political issue, completely igniting the opposition of the people at the bottom to the top leaders of the coalition and causing a catastrophe.

But before the top leaders of the coalition took action, Katrana Presto struck preemptively.

The day after the box was stolen, Katrana personally led a group of high-level officials from Stormwind Kingdom and representatives of people from various countries to mobilize troops and went to the coalition headquarters to question the crime.

Faced with the questioning from the coalition's top brass about the "metal box that exuded a shadowy aura," Katrana opened it openly in front of everyone.

Inside was a rugged, orc-style dagger that exuded a faint shadow aura.

She asked everyone, is it against public order and good morals to have a dagger captured from an orc warlock during the First War in a private collection? Or is it against some law?

She even handed the dagger over to everyone for inspection.

There were many legendary mages present at that time, and they immediately used their superb magic to detect it.It turned out that there was really nothing strange about this dagger that exuded a shadowy atmosphere. Even though they felt that something was fishy, ​​how could something of such low value be protected with such a strict spell? In the eyes of the public representatives, they were filled with anger. , and it is no longer possible to investigate.

Katrana returns victorious.

The worst still happened.

Because of this incident, conspiracy theories began to continue to ferment among the people at the bottom, and rumors began to spread that "the ruling classes of various countries intend to suppress people's leaders in order to maintain their own rule."

The people at the bottom have turned against the coalition forces.

The people began to distrust the coalition forces that had shed blood and sacrifices in the Third War.

People began to suspect that the Northern Expedition was just another reshuffle of the political landscape.No matter what the outcome is, the one who suffers will always be the one at the bottom.

Instigated by some "righteous people", a turmoil broke out within the Kingdom of Gilneas.A group of radical people attacked the Greymane Wall, intending to tear down this sinful wall that symbolized the extremely dirty rule of the Greymane royal family, which ignored external suffering in order to protect their own interests, and completely alienated their brothers and sisters outside. Join together.

Princess Calia Menethil, who had been seriously injured by the Banshee King not long ago, had just recovered. As soon as she returned to her people's refuge in the Arathi Highlands and prepared to take on the responsibilities she had evaded for a long time, she encountered an incident. An extremely well-planned assassination.Under the protection of the guards, she survived the disaster without any danger.

In this turbulent situation, there seems to be the shadow of some external forces.

What is even more disturbing is that a large number of people spontaneously responded to the call of some social figures and began to gather in Andorhal and Silverpine Forest areas, spontaneously forming militia armed groups, preparing to fight against the Forgotten People.

The situation is uneasy.

Not only that, not to mention the Eastern Continent, the continent of Kalimdor is also brewing a new world-level war. The night elves, together with the orcs and Theramore, are about to launch a general attack on the Ahn'Qiraj Fortress.

All these things, how could Ronin, who was a member of the Kirin Tor Council and shouldered important responsibilities, get away with it?

But in the end, he discovered that these were all just excuses for him not to leave his wife who was giving birth.Faced with Krasus's request and Nozdormu who was in trouble, he could not sit idly by.

At Vereesa's request, he answered Crassus' call.

Followed Krasus to the continent of Kalimdor.

then

He was sucked into the space-time rift.

It was like having a long nightmare. When he woke up, the dead king of the forest, the demigod Cenarius, was right in front of him.Angmar, who has been missing for a long time, has become an extremely powerful being

What happened? What happened? This is a dream

Luo Ning gathered strength for a while and tried his best to open his eyes. His vision was blurry, as if there was a night elf observing him very close at hand.

"He's awake," the female night elf turned around and said to the person behind her. "He's just a little unconscious, but it's nothing serious. He will get better after resting for a while."

"Thank you, Ms. Maiev. I have really troubled you these past two days." Another female voice sounded in the room.If you want to chat with more like-minded people about the rise of the blood elves, follow "Youdu" on WeChat to chat about life and find confidants~
