Azeroth Trail of Light

Vol 3 Chapter 35: .Princes and Prisoners

Sunsail Port, the only large port in the High Elf Empire, Quel'Thalas has built the Sunsail fleet for nearly 1,000 years. This fleet of only 42 ships, although in number, Far inferior to the invincible fleet of Kul Tiras that crosses the sea, and even the number of standing ships in Lordaeron can't reach it.

But this is the second-ranked fleet in the entire Eastern Continent, because these 42 ships are all magic ships, which even Kul Tiras, the strongest country on the sea, can't do.

But now, this fleet that should have cooperated with the ground forces to attack the undead at the mouth of the inland river has been staying in Yangfan Port for a whole day. Outside the port, a long line of 17 refugees is in the midst of the elves. Under maintenance, board the ship quickly.

Silvermoon City has become a battlefield for Quel'Thalas and the Demon Legion. Even the stubborn people have to choose to leave their homes under such intense battles.

They are about to be sent to Nanhai Town, landing in Hillsbrad Hills, and scattered to Tarren Mill and Arathi Highlands. A small group of young people with certain fighting capacity will be sent to the East Dallong Mill area. Temporarily join the Knights of the Silver Hand and practice your martial arts on the battlefield of West Daron Mill.

When the Sunstrider royal family launches a counterattack, they can enter the Ghost Land from Stratholme's Elf Gate and cooperate with the royal family to clean up the overwhelming undead.

This is a big transfer of 70 people. Even if the extremely fast Sunsail fleet is operating at full capacity, it will take at least 15 days to transport all the people, but in Kael'thas, the letter is delivered as the heir to the Sunstalker royal family. After giving it to the master of Kul Tiras, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, the wise general who used to fight the orcs with the high elves, has replied to a letter stating that the Fourth Fleet of Kul Tiras will set off immediately. Arrived at Yangfan Port 4 days later to assist in the transfer of high elf civilians.

This is definitely the best news that Prince Kael'thas has heard in the past few days!

It has been three days since Dalkhan detonated the demon portal. Under the infiltration of more and more demons, a quarter of the surface area of ​​Silvermoon City has been declared occupied. However, the fire wing guards and the Mages Council exerted their efforts. After stopping, the demons still couldn't open the space channel directly to the Sunwell, so they could only use the most primitive method to attack the Sunwell little by little.

On the southern front of Quel'Thalas, the war against the undead also continued, but with the presence of the Red Dragon Mage Krasus, the threat of the undead and the casualties of the soldiers have been reduced to an acceptable level.

But this is not enough to satisfy Kael'thas. The Sunstrider is now in a two-line combat situation. His Royal Highness is very clear that the barely maintenance of Silvermoon City is based on the fact that the wizards do not hesitate to mana and destroy the city to stop it. The demons are based on the advancement, but the energy of the wizards is limited, so he must find a proper way before the wizards collapse.

His Royal Highness took his gaze back from the sad-looking civilians who were waiting to board the ship. He turned around. The fiery red robe outlined a floating shadow in the wind. Kael'thas stretched out his hand in the air. With a light stroke, a silver-white portal appeared in front of him. His Royal Highness hesitated, and finally stepped into the portal.

Mana cage, this is a cage used by high elves to hold dangerous people. It is different from ordinary prisons. There is no wall that hinders escape or exit in the cage. It is made up of pure white spheres one after another. In a special confinement place, the inside of the sphere is a forbidden space without any magical elements.

There are four huge electrodes standing in the four directions of the south, east and northwest. The blue electric light is wrapped around the electrodes and finally flows into the surface of the sphere. The prisoners who are imprisoned in the sphere will receive a strong current as long as they touch the surface of the sphere. Stimulus, it's painful.

However, the elves originally designed this kind of torture. The symbolic meaning is far greater than the practical meaning. Before Dick settled in it, there were fewer than 20 prisoners in this prison with an area the size of three football fields. This was still from 2000. Years ago, the number of all prisoners until now.

The paladin who went to jail was stripped of all his armor and defenses, wearing only a thin shirt, sitting in the middle of the mana cage. The elves were kind to the paladin who helped them. There was a set in the mana cage. Simple tables and chairs. ,

When the silver portal of Kael'thas lit up in the prison, Dick was closing his eyes, with a pipe in his mouth, leaning on a chair, and the prince walked out of the portal and saw that Dick was not Chic back.

"Knight Dick... I want to say sorry to you on behalf of my father."

Kael'thas waved down a large soundproof barrier, pondered for a moment, and said, "Quel'Thalas shouldn't use this method to treat a warrior who once helped us."

"Although you are apologizing... but I know, you still won't let me out, right? Your Royal Highness Kael'thas."

Dick did not look back. After Kael'thas' apology was spoken, his lazy voice came out, and at the same time, there was a pungent white smoke. Dick's face was enveloped by the white smoke, and it seemed It was a little fuzzy, but because he lowered his head, he couldn't see his specific expression.

Facing Dick’s questioning, Kael’thas was silent. After ten seconds, the handsome elf prince spoke again.

"Yes, Mr. Dick, some of your thoughts... are too dangerous for the Sunstrider, so I cannot let you out until this war is over."

Hearing Kael'thas' explanation, Dick shook his head, his lazy voice turned into a faint mockery.

"The war is over? With His Highness's wisdom, is there really hope for this war? Dalkhan tied the space rift and the defensive rune together. If you want to end the demon's attack, you have to destroy the defensive rune. , But you just can’t do that. Once Alsace’s undead legion is fully overwhelmed, even Krasus will not be able to protect the stability of the front line."

The Paladin stood up from the chair, he turned his head, raised his unshaven face, his squinted eyes were full of sharp rays, and he looked at Kael'thas with a dangerous smile crooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Kael'thas, do you know? It seems to me that you and your country are now rats stuffed into a bellows. They cannot move forward or retreat. You want to keep the sun well and the land, you There is too much demand, but there are too few things you can exchange. If I am not mistaken, the situation in Silvermoon City is very difficult to maintain now, right?"

Kael'thas ignored Dick's impolite language. He held Quel'Thalas' golden rod in both hands and looked at Dick with a strange look. After a full minute, His Royal Highness made a sound. Long sigh.

"Dick...you don’t understand the meaning of the Sunwell to the high elves. Don’t my father and I know that destroying the Sunwell can restore the current bad situation to the previous state, but this Quel'Thalas After the foundation of the nation is destroyed, the entire high elves will not be far from collapse."

But the words of Kael'thas did not impress Dick, nor did he arouse even a trace of curiosity. He showed an exaggerated smile at His Royal Highness, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice.

"The foundation of the Sunwell is the first generation of ancestors of the Sunstriders 7000 years ago, and the upper elf lord Dasremar who has experienced the war of the ancients-the eternal well water that the Sunstriders sneaked out from the elven empire. The most original treasure of the world of Azeroth, from the moment it falls into the well of the sun, it is constantly exuding pure energy. Quel'Thalas is called the country of magic because of this pure energy. The reason for existence."

"But the Well of the Sun is not a complete well of eternity after all. The energy it emits is very single, and its manifestation is magic. The concentration of magic elements in Quel'Thalas is higher than that in other parts of the world. In the first 1,000 years, this magical power protected you from living here, but for the next 5,000 years, all the high elves lived in such a high-concentration magical environment. Your body has been changed by this magical power. Up!"

"His Royal Highness, you said that I don’t understand the meaning of the sun well to the high elves... You are wrong! I know better than you what impact the destruction of the sun well will have on your lives. The high elves rarely travel and live. , Because you can no longer bear the barren element concentration in the outside world. You are like addicts who **** blood jing (Azeroth's drug). If you lose the energy of the Sunwell, your body and mind will collapse. , Become a desperate walking corpse in pursuit of magic."

Dick’s face lifted up again, the strange brilliance bloomed on his face, he tilted his head and looked at Kael'thas.

"So, am I right? Your Royal Highness!"

Kael'thas took two steps back subconsciously. For the first time, an expression of incredible horror appeared on his handsome and reserved face. He pointed at Dick, shaking his arms, but couldn't say a word.

What Dick said, in Quel'Thalas, is also the secret only known to the Sunstrider royal family and a few archmages who have studied energy. It can be said that this secret is already Quel'Thalas’ political arena. Below, the biggest secret is buried.

"You...who are you!"

Kael'thas took two deep breaths and calmed down. He looked at Dick, his eyes full of alertness, "An ordinary Paladin, it is impossible to know this! Who are you! You and Nordrassil What does the Kaldorei have to do!"

"I have nothing to do with them."

Dick shrugged and pointed at Kael'thas to the pure white sphere outside his body.

"If I can propose to destroy the Sunwell, it means that I have a solution to the high elves' addiction. But you know, your father can't make up this determination. Then tell me, Prince Kael'thas, what can you do for me? What step do you take to protect your people?"

"boom!"

When Dick said he had a way, Kael'thas immediately took two steps and put his hands on the surface of the mana cage. The light blue electric light instantly wrapped around his palm, but he was caught A thin layer of mana barrier blocked it, and there was no way to hurt Kael'thas.

His Royal Highness looked at Dick, the expression on his handsome face changed drastically, and finally he took his prince seal from his waist and stuck it on the console next to the mana cage, and the pure white mana barrier was lowered. , There is no shelter between Dick and Kael'thas.

"You said you have a solution to the symptoms of addiction? If you really have a solution, then I will be crazy with you!"

Dick put his left hand on his unshaven chin, rubbed it, and then grinned.

"Deal!"
