Rise of the blood elves

234【Painful choice】

The mountains are rugged and the vegetation is dense.

Birds of prey fly through the sky from time to time, and occasionally you can see a few extremely large two-headed chimeras, or elf dragons whose small wings spread bursts of starlight.

In the deep paths covered with flowers and grass, gentle herbivores can be seen everywhere. Deer are jumping around, and hares are nervously sniffing around. Suddenly, a lone giant wolf emerges, grabs its prey in its mouth, and runs away without a trace. Without a trace

The giant bear, who cannot get enough sleep, sleeps soundly in his own territory. Only when his cubs are threatened will he rush out of the cave in anger and fight with the intruders.

The soft sunlight, heavily scattered by the dense canopy of trees covering most of Mount Hyjal, became extremely gentle, not at all as harsh as the sunlight in other high-altitude areas.

Look up to the northeast and follow the branches that stretch across the sky and can even produce a sky full of leaves that cover the entire sky. Looking to the northeast, you will find a tree that seems to have stood here since ancient times. It is far higher than the peak and taller than the mountains. Big giant tree.

It never stops spreading the power of nature, turning this highest mountain range in Kalimdor into a paradise for all natural creatures.Dense vegetation, herbivores and carnivores together form a complete and harmonious ecology. Nowhere in Azeroth can you find such a beautiful place except the Sholazar Basin of Titan Guardian Freya.

A few days passed, and the Hyjal coalition finally got rid of the demon's pursuit and entered the pass of Mount Hyjal.

A night elf army is stationed here.

The terrifying ancient tree men dug out tons of earth and rocks and piled them up to the front of the defense line with rumbling footsteps.

The druids closed their eyes and cast spells, their palms filled with green light. The tree seeds that had been buried long ago took root and sprouted from the earth and rocks, locking them tightly and turning them into defense facilities comparable to city walls. The narrow passages only left A small opening for passage.

Sentinels holding bows and arrows stood on this natural wall, scanning the coalition troops below with a solemn expression, never letting down their guard for a moment.

One after another, the blade-throwing vehicles pointed at the mountain pass that the devil must pass through, and the huge moon blades reflected the cold light.

Patrolling furbolgs, owl beasts, and even small treants, these local intelligent natural creatures, also joined the coalition under a common threat.

It has to be said that compared to the fragmented trolls, the orcs who have not yet gained a firm foothold, the already small dwarves and gnomes, and the humans who have experienced three consecutive wars and are far from recovering their strength, in the independent Kalim The night elves, which have multiplied for 1 years, are the most powerful race in Azeroth at this point in time.

There are night elf settlements from Darkshore in the north to the dense forests of Feralas in the south.

The Mount Hyjal area is the center of this powerful ethnic group's territory. After 1 years of painstaking efforts, its defenses are as perfect as iron barrels.No matter how powerful the invading enemy is, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.

After a short rest and supplies, the coalition forces continued to march into the interior of Mount Hyjal.

No one is optimistic about the coming war.The strength of the demons is several times that of the coalition forces, and Archimonde is a scourge that is difficult to solve.

The Mount Hyjal area has not yet been obscured by evil energy. As the end point of short-distance teleportation, there will not be much danger.

It turns out that the Skull of Gul'dan has been obtained, and Angmar no longer needs to do anything in this long-decided war.With limited time, he was unable to utilize the abilities brought by the time traveler's perspective.

But Illidan's story was too shocking.Without the Horn of Cenarius and the ability to detonate Nordrassil through the night elves' ancestral souls, the Hyjal coalition would simply not be able to deal with the powerful Archimonde.

Needless to say, there are 10,000+ heroic soldiers. Even if this number is increased ten times, there is nothing Archimonde can do.

So just after returning from teleportation, Angmar did not go to find Ronin, who had not returned to Dalaran, but hurriedly found Malfurion who was discussing important matters with a group of druids to learn about the situation.

The two walked to a deserted corner and started talking.

"What methods are you going to use to contain the devil's offensive?"

"Prophet, we have set up fifteen well-powered defense lines on the main road leading to the World Tree. Nearly a hundred thousand heroic soldiers, plus tens of thousands of troops from humans and orcs, can fight in the final battle. Before arriving, Jarod did his best to weaken the demon's forces and planned a detailed evacuation plan. All troops who intercepted the demon halfway can gradually withdraw to a safe zone with our support."

Malfurion replied worriedly.

"Is Jarod still serving as the commander-in-chief of the night elves?"

Angmar was stunned. He didn't expect that this night elf commander with the talents of a general did not live in seclusion as in the official history.

1 years ago, Jarod Shadowsong was originally the security captain of Suramar City. He gradually emerged in the War of the Ancients and showed his unique military talents.

At that time, the man who commanded the night elves' army to fight against the demons was originally Ravencrest, the great noble of the empire in Lord Ravencrest's War of the Ancients trilogy. However, he died at the hands of an assassin in the middle of the war. .

The command fell to an incompetent noble named Star Eyes, and the army almost fell into despair. After his death, Jarod Shadowsong, who was respected and trusted, took over as commander and gathered at the critical moment. The demigods and other tribes who joined the coalition turned the tide and persisted in the tide of demonic attacks, buying valuable time for the Stormrage Brothers' plan to destroy the Well of Eternity.

It can be said that Jarod is a mortal general who can rank at the forefront of Azeroth, and his commanding ability is unmatched.Not everyone is capable of commanding and dispatching a large army with extremely complex members, including even demigods.

After the war, he became a hero respected by everyone.But he himself was reluctant to do this. He didn't think he was a hero, and he didn't deserve the respect of everyone. In the end, he lived in seclusion with his beloved wife.

Malfurion nodded and said: "Of course. I'm glad that you were able to find Jarod in seclusion for us 1000 years ago. Without his command, the Battle of Quicksand would not have been won so easily."

I recovered Jarod Garod and commanded the Battle of Quicksand

Angmar couldn't help but become more and more interested in the history of "his" changes.

But he didn't come to Malfurion to find out what his "former self" had done. He had to know whether Malfurion had the final plan to defeat the demon like in the official history.

He spoke again: "What I'm asking is, how are you going to fight against Archimonde?"

Malfurion's expression turned bitter, and he shook his head and said, "Prophet, I don't know."

Malfurion had fought against Archimonde and intuitively understood the terrifying strength of this legion's deputy.

"As early as a few months ago, when Dalaran revealed to us the invasion attempt of the Burning Legion, we began to prepare for war and asked the Dragon Legion for help. However, none of the three dragon kings responded, so we had to turn our attention to those who had The demigods who died in the War of the Ancients looked for ways to speed up their return. We successfully helped the Ursoc brothers reunite their bodies, but we were helpless against the more powerful Malorne."

When talking about this, Malfurion gritted his teeth.

"Those orcs also killed Cenarius, causing us to lose a powerful ally. The demon is about to enter Mount Hyjal. I can't find a way to fight that demon. Prophet, we need your guidance."

When the archdruid explained, he didn't mention anything about the Horn of Cenarius, which made Angmar understand that it seemed that the natural artifact was indeed completely destroyed as Illidan said.Otherwise, Malfurion would not abandon the safest method and find other solutions.

Demigods are the embodiment of nature. They will not die. They will only draw strength from the Emerald Dream and reappear in the distant future.During the Cataclysm, facing the attacks of Deathwing and Ragnaros the Firelord, the druids managed to recall Malorne.

But now, even if Malfurion successfully awakens a group of demigods and hopes that the demigods can resist Archimonde, it will definitely backfire.

This approach simply won't work.

Angmar organized his words and told Malfurion about the plan to use the Eye of Sargeras to bombard demons, without concealing the damage that might be caused to nature in the process and the risks of being unable to control the artifact.

As expected, the archdruid looked at him dumbfounded, and suddenly fell into painful deep thought, unable to speak for a long time.
