Rise of the blood elves

270【Funeral and Guidance】

Three days later, at the starting point of the "Destruction Passage", where the heaven-destroying spell was cast, and where the original pass between the first and second stairs was, a funeral was being held.

Night elves, humans, orcs, tauren, trolls, blood elves

All races gathered together to send these victims who heroically sacrificed their lives for the survival of Azeroth to their final destination.

Even Alexstrasza, who was seriously injured, turned into a human form, and Krasus, who almost died at the hands of Archimonde, attended the funeral.

In addition, Ysera, the green dragon queen, who got out of the nightmare situation with the help of Malfurion and joined the battle at the last moment, also led several green dragons and stood beside Alexstrasza.

Even Illidan, who was exiled, put away his disdain for his compatriots and stood quietly in the corner.

Angmar stood side by side with the already old Aegwynn, behind him were a group of silent blood elf magisters.

The Priestesses of the Moon sang a beautiful elegy. In the midst of the singing, groups of solemn-looking soldiers carried the bodies of the victims toward the cemetery as far as the eye could see.

No one made any sound during the process of placing the body in the coffin, filling the soil with earth and erecting the monument, and it was extremely quiet.

The burial process lasted several hours.

Different ethnic groups have completely different cultural backgrounds when it comes to handling the remains of war dead.

But this time, everyone agreed with the night elves' methods. Even the orcs chose to bury their most respected warriors under the alien soil.

Until all the corpses were safely buried in the graves, the soldiers filed away in neat steps, and no one made any touching speeches.

People just looked at the tombstones engraved with the names of the war dead from a distance and in silence.

I don't know who started it, but the procession of mourners began to silently come forward and place the memorial objects in their hands in front of the tombstone.

Relics of human victims, night elf lockets, orc weapons, or tauren ancestral totems, tributes placed under the tombs of trolls in order to bribe Bwonsamdi, the god of death, and lit incense

The crystallized earth contrasts this endless forest of tombstones with thousands or tens of thousands of them, making it look sad and beautiful.

Some of the tombstones of human victims don’t even have names.

Unlike the orcs and night elves, the human army that set out from Theramore, except for some of the direct troops who came from Kul Tiras to be loyal to Princess Jaina, most of the rest came from all over Lordaeron and were not familiar with each other.

Less than a month had passed since they landed in Kalimdor, and before they had time to register their names, this improvised army headed north.

In this war with heavy casualties, there were many battles in which all the members of an organization were killed or wounded. Many of the thousands-man regiments had no survivors, resulting in the fact that no one knew the names of these war dead.

But the world will not forget their sacrifice.

The druids quietly stepped forward with tree seeds in hand and planted them on both sides of every footpath in the cemetery.The roots of trees communicated with natural magic will not damage the tomb during the growth process.

A hundred years later, the trees that cover the sky will act like guards to protect these heroic souls sleeping underground.

The third war was won.

But the price of victory is heavy.

It’s so tragic that no one wants to accept it.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of all races suffered casualties, with the night elves accounting for most of them. On the demon's path, more than ten settlements along the way were completely destroyed, and countless natural creatures lost their lives.

The most distressing thing among them is the permanent change caused by that heaven-destroying spell to the landscape of Mount Hyjal.

Even with Nordrassil's blessing, it would take thousands of years to completely remove the contamination of arcane energy.

But no matter what, all races worked together and finally saved Azeroth from this crisis of annihilation.

Before the decisive battle began, because the Green Dragon Queen was in crisis, Malfurion had no choice but to leave his tribe and led a group of druids to rescue her.Things went very smoothly. They defeated Isendre and Lethon among the four green dragons of the nightmare, entered the dreamland to remove some of the corruption, and rescued Ysera who was trapped in the nightmare and could not wake up.

What surprised Angmar was that Ysera actually chose Quel'Danas as the exit from the dream, and then led the Green Dragon Army across the Endless Sea to support the war.

It has to be said that Ysera used dreams to divert the actions of the demigods at the last moment, rewriting Angmar's understanding of the Emerald Dream.

Despite all this, Ysera's escape from Quel'Danas still baffled Angmar.

Through Malfurion's explanation, Angmar learned a shocking fact.

He had rescued him from the Dysholm region that had been corrupted by Dar'Kan in the past, and then regained his life with the help of Staghelm and other druids. He absorbed the residual magic power of the well and restored it to its original appearance. A deep-rooted connection was created.Its stability is not inferior to that of the giant trees grown from the seeds of Nordrassil in Ashenvale, Feralas, the Hinterlands, and Duskwood.

The nascent connection did not receive too much attention from the nightmare, and the holy tree had a connection with Nordrassil for some unknown reason, so it became one of the few safest places in the nightmare-ridden Emerald Dream. That's why Ysera chose it as a place to escape.

With Ysera's help, all the demigods escaped safely.

The funeral was about to end, and Angmar came to the exit of the cemetery, waiting for the arrival of the leaders of the clans.

When leaders of various tribes gather together, Angmar can do many things through his role as a prophet, and he also has many ideas for the future.

Neither Theramore nor the Horde could stay longer.

Dustwallow Swamp is perilous, and Theramore is under construction and in urgent need of military protection.The same is true for Durotar. Even the tauren who just migrated to the Mulgore Grassland not long ago and the Darkspear trolls who first came to the Echo Islands are eager to return.

The night elves will help them properly take care of the seriously injured who cannot bear the fatigue of the journey. When the seriously injured are recovered as before, they will send a team to escort them back.

As soon as the funeral was over, the two parties were about to embark on their return journey.

While they were thinking, groups of tribal soldiers walked out of the cemetery. Thrall and Kane, the leaders, soon saw Angmar who was greeting them. Knowing that he had something to say, they ordered their subordinates to go ahead. Walked towards Angmar.

Grom Hellscream also followed behind the two.

"Prophet." The three of them bowed respectfully.

No matter who salutes him, Angmar deserves this respect.

Angmar played a vital role in this war.He united three forces that had never interacted with each other and were even hostile to each other to form a united body that would fight for Azeroth together.

At his suggestion, the night elves released the traitors, and everything surrounding the Eye of Sargeras began.

Although for these players who cannot see the timeline clearly from a God's perspective, this is more like a plan led by Angmar, but in fact, except for Aegwynn who created the Tomb of Sargeras, no one can absorb more than Aegwynn. Illidan, who had obtained the Skull of Gul'dan and obtained the memory fragments of the latter, was more familiar with the structure of the Tomb of Sargeras.

In other words, Illidan is the best candidate to enter the tomb and obtain the Eye of Sargeras.

Under Angmar's lobbying, the reclusive guardian Aegwynn also came out again.

He accelerated the resurrection of the demigods so that the coalition forces would not be helpless when facing Archimonde.

He exposed Staghelm's corruption, exposed the conspiracy of the nightmare forces, indirectly saved the Green Dragon Legion, and indirectly saved countless beings who were affected by spells.

More importantly, for Grom Hellscream, it was Angmar's prophecy that saved his life.

"Sorry, Prophet, I haven't had time to express my gratitude to you yet." Grom put his right hand on his chest and saluted deeply.The language and etiquette used were all human etiquette from the Eastern Continent that was designed to make Angmar feel comfortable.

After the end of the Second War, under the orders of Ner'zhul, who had been corrupted by the Whisper of the Skull of Gul'dan, he returned to Azeroth through the Dark Portal, in order to open a portal to the new world for Ner'zhul. The Warsong clan, who needed the artifact, was separated in the Eastern Continent before they could return to Draenor in time after success.

For more than ten years, until he came under Thrall's command, Grom had been leading his tribe to avoid being hunted by humans. In the process, he learned many aspects of humans based on the idea of ​​knowing yourself and the enemy.

Although he is a proud orc, it is obvious that he has a better understanding of human thinking, strategic intentions or other things than most orcs.Humans are always closer to the blood elves, and even if the etiquette seems not very pure, they still mean it.

"I respect the culture of the orcs, but that way of dying is reckless rather than glorious, and cowardly rather than atonement. Not only the Warsong clan, but your people also need you," Angmar said softly.

If it were in the past, Grom would definitely sneer at such words, but now he nodded in shame.

"And your son, Garrosh, still in your ruined homeland."

Grom fell into silence after hearing this, and after a long time he said: "If I have the chance, I will bring him to me. Now, I can proudly tell him that he was the first to drink the blood of the devil twice. The sinner has been cleansed of his former shame.”

"You are a well-deserved warrior. Anger is rushing in your veins, but in the future of your life, I hope you will vent your anger on evil entities."

With the victory of the war and the spread of the "prophet" identity, Angmar has been respected by all races. Some "prophecies" no longer need to be timid, and can be advertised to the world with just a little modification.

"I will keep it in mind." Grom replied respectfully.

Angmar nodded and turned to Thrall and Kane, "This is what I came for, three of you. What I say next may arouse your resentment. Three chiefs, I am standing from the perspective of Azeroth. I hope and plead for your understanding that under the crisis of annihilation, the hatred between humans and orcs is insignificant. In the Emerald Dream, in the far southern desert, in the sunken undersea continent, and in the frozen continent of the far north, there are still The threat is no less terrifying than that of the Burning Legion. In the next ten years, world-destroying crises comparable to the ancient wars will follow one after another, and their intensity will far exceed the sum of all crises in the past 1 years. The primary enemy is not human beings, but this is just a suggestion. After all, I cannot guarantee that there will really not be any war between you. I only hope that you can keep the future fragments I saw in mind and be prepared at all times. enough."

At this time, the tribe was only beginning to take shape, and the new alliance headed by the Kingdom of Stormwind had not yet been established.

Angmar's words were actually meant for Thrall.The tauren are gentle by nature, and Thrall, who is only a few years younger than him, has too heavy a burden on his shoulders, and has been strained by the warring faction-dominated tribe.

In fact, he also had a selfish motive. He really didn't want any friction between the orcs and Theramore, because it was Jaina who would suffer, not the orcs who were outnumbered.

Regardless of selfishness, if friction occurs, humans with a deep hatred for the orcs will definitely use a bridgehead like Theramore to curb the orcs' power. The friction will inevitably escalate and eventually develop in an uncontrollable direction, and even some It could turn into a war.

The Lich King has not been eliminated, the nightmare is waiting for an opportunity, and the ancient gods are watching. Even if nothing can be guaranteed, Angmar must stand at a certain height and give his own suggestions.If the races of Azeroth are weakened by internal strife before the crisis arrives, the final outcome will only be destruction along with the world.

Although in the official history, Thrall did well enough and did not have any conflict with Theramore until he left office. Several minor frictions were resolved safely with the cooperation of Jaina, but it is different now. .

Grom Hellscream, who has a high reputation among the main war faction, is not dead. His qualifications are much older than Thrall, who is only in his early 20s.In this way, the warring orcs' rage and orc racism can be vented.

If Angmar didn't say a few words, Hellscream might do something to trigger a war.

The Scourge Legion is still in Northrend, and if they really want to fight, it will be really fun for relatives and enemies.

"Follow your guidance, Prophet."

Sal said seriously.

Revealing potential threats to a race or a force is far more precious than anything else.

The special behavior of the elements made Thrall firmly believe in Angmar's guidance. Not only that, but Kane, who gradually linked Angmar to the "prophet" in the ancient legend of the Tauren due to recent rumors, also No doubt at all

"Then, good luck to you all."

After saying goodbye to the three tribal leaders, Angmar was not sure whether his words would have the desired effect.

In the warm breeze, Angmar waited for his second wave of guests.He suddenly felt that if he wore round-rimmed sunglasses and used a pretense to write four big words "Immortal Guides the Way", he would really be a magic stick.

After waiting for a long time, the second wave of guests finally arrived.

In the front section of the marching human team, Jaina and Aegwynn walked side by side. Like Thrall and others, she soon broke away from the team and walked over on her own.
