Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

The royal city of Lordaeron, Lothar returned from Alterac on a light ride through the path by Lake Lordaeron after finishing his inspection in Alterac.

When Lothar hurriedly came to the kingdom to meet Terenas, a scout was half kneeling under the throne of the King of Lordaeron, and Terenas' face was full of astonishment.

"Are you sure? The night elves have gone north?"

The scout lowered his head and replied, "Yes, I have personally seen the night elf fleet heading north along the coastline."

'Night Elf? '

Lothar, who heard the information by accident, froze for a moment, and then his face showed a look of surprise.

‘So that’s the case, their news is really well-informed. '

The Alliance only learned of the Horde's movements from the Wildhammer dwarves who volunteered to join the Alliance not long ago. Lothar did not expect that the night elves would take action before he returned to Lordaeron.

‘So, the night elves have already received Quills’ request for help? '

The family knows their own affairs, and Lothar ordered Turayang to lead the army to the north. In fact, Terenas has not yet obtained the permission of the high elves.

But even if Turalyon's army can't enter the border of Quel'Thalas, blocking Orgrim's back road can cause a lot of trouble for the Horde, delaying enough time for the deployment of the alliance's main force.

...

Just as Lothar had guessed, Anasteria finally accepted the fact that the high elves could not stop the tribal alliance alone under Li Reza's methodical analysis.

At a critical juncture, Anasteria abandoned unnecessary face-saving projects, and lowered her head to ask for help from her great-aunt Celeste, who came to Quells with Alleria and Vereesa.

Although Celes once said that she would never care about Quel'Thalas again, that was only a momentary remark after all. She couldn't just sit and watch her father and brother's life-long hard work be destroyed by the rude orcs.

After receiving the report from Celes, Andrea met Shandris, who had just arrived in the coastal waters of the Eastern Continent, and headed north to Quel'Thalas together.

Since Anasteria had already been notified, the offshore navy of the high elves did not stop this huge troop transport fleet.

Relying on the high speed crushed by technology, Andrea and others rushed to Yangfan Port to land before the tribe.

After Shandris got off the boat, she looked at the still bustling but flustered Yangfan Port with some emotion.

"As expected of a country established by the high elves, aside from social issues such as addiction to magic and class conflicts, the standard of living in Quel'Thalas is not far behind that of the Night Republic."

Shandris can see some clues from the clothes of the nearby dock workers who urgently help unload the goods. Basic necessities of life are the most intuitive indicators that reflect the living standards of the people of a country.

The work of communicating with Anasteria was entrusted by Andrea to Ceres, he didn't want to see the faces of those Silvermoon councilors, he was worried that he couldn't help but punch them in the sky on the bridge of the nose.

In Celeste's words, the nobles of Quel'Thalas did not learn the essence of the nobles of the Night Empire, but learned their pampered bad temper.

The nobles of the Night Empire at least knew to respect Queen Azshara, and the nobles of Quel'Thalas wanted to squat on the Sun King's head to shit because of Anasteria's soft governing methods.

If Seres hadn't come here from time to time to brush up on her presence and bring back painful memories in some people's hearts, God knows what the top management of Quel'Thalas would be like now.

Andrea and Shandris learned about the situation of Quel'Thalas high-level officials from Li Reza.

With Celeste sitting in the court of the Sunstrider, the members of the Silvermoon Council are like a mouse seeing a cat. They can no longer see their chins raised to the sky, and they can only keep their heads down all day and dare not mess with BB.

This group of aristocrats who only dare to fight in their nests is only promising. Facing the Sun King, they dared to strike hard, but when facing Seres, they became submissive, a typical bullying.

Under the guidance of Cirvanas who was in charge of the handover, Andrea and the others intuitively saw the so-called aristocratic leader army in the process of setting up defenses in the Amani Forest.

"These can also be considered soldiers?"

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Shandris' eyes, and he looked at the high elf soldiers who were training casually with a half-smile.

These aristocratic private soldiers who have been addicted to alcohol and sex all year round seem to have no bones in their bodies. After standing for a long time, they start to stagger around. Some soldiers even swayed from the beginning to the end and hiccupped. It was obvious that they hadn't recovered from the hangover last night.

Cirvanas blushed a little. Although these noble private troops had nothing to do with the ranger troops, they were the troops of her own country after all. This ugly appearance was seen by outsiders, which made her who had always been strong feel very embarrassed.

"We can't help it. The nobles of Eversong Forest have been in peace for a long time, and they have long since neglected the training of the leading army. Mother has never expected the assistance of these leading soldiers from the beginning to the end."

This is the biggest drawback of the enfeoffment aristocratic system, and it is also the biggest reason why Andrea only retains the honorary aristocratic system.

Although the leading army is nominally under the jurisdiction of the central government, their salaries, training, and management are entirely in the charge of the local lords.

Once the lord is unreliable, the management of the leading army is not strict enough... This group of young soldiers in front of him is a vivid example.

Andrea will never hand down the management of the army that controls the country's security to the local lords, unless you can really prove your ability, such as Elisanna Ravencrest from Black Rook Castle and Ai from Suramar. Lisander.

Seeing that Cirvanas' complexion was getting darker and darker, Andrea and Shandris didn't mention it anymore because they didn't need this group of useless materials anyway.

Although the situation of the nobles leading the national army is mostly miserable, the Sun King actually holds the real important weapon of the country in his hands.

Among them is the Sunfury Legion directly under the royal family, Quel'Thalas' real elite mage troops.

In order to lead by example, Anasterian sent the Sunfury Legion to the Amani Forest under the command of Li Reza.

As news of the Horde going north to attack Quells spread across the countries of the alliance, Kael'thas, the high elf prince in Dalaran, couldn't sit still.

Although he has always received the respect of the Kirin Tor Council when he was in Dalaran, and Antonidas gave him a seat as a councilor, this is not the hometown of Kael'thas after all.

Hearing that the motherland was in trouble, Kael'thas explained the reason to Speaker Antonidas, temporarily asked for leave from the Kirin Tor Council and sent it back to Silvermoon City in a hurry.

When Andrea came to Taquilin, an army town in the Amani Forest, she met the famous Prince Kael'thas for the first time.

With long and smooth hair like gilt, elegant temperament and extremely exquisite appearance, for a moment, Andrea thought that standing in front of her was a beautiful woman.

But he still saw the clue from the other party's Adam's apple. This beauty who looked more feminine than a woman was actually a man. He was Kael'thas Sunstrider, the prince of Quellus.
