3. Tol Bain the Warner [73/100]

The conspiracy entangled in the stars, the brewing war is endless, but as a battlefield that is about to be attacked, the world of Azeroth still maintains a normal normal operation, and without the interference of external forces, the speed of this magical civilization is too slow, so slow that it is outrageous.

"Da, da, da"

The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded in the square in front of Lordaeron's court, so that the royal guards standing in the square couldn't help but see who dared to ride so boldly to this place.

However, when they saw the comer, they all showed respectful looks, it was a general on a war horse, wearing light armor, looking to be in his 40s, in the prime of life, but his short hair was already a little gray, and the athletic body that jumped off the war horse also represented the general's skillful martial arts.

Danas. Thorbain, a side branch of the famous "Troll Slayer" family in the Kingdom of Stormgard, was only a small militia commander at the time of the Orc invasion, but after the war, he became one of the few battlefield generals in the Alliance, and in the 4-year war, he led the cavalry of Fort Riptide more than once into the Orc position, winning victory after victory for the Alliance.

This experience was enough to make General Danas a legendary general of the Alliance, but after the end of the war, General Danas, who could have stayed in Fort Rapids and enjoyed the glory and wealth, was inspired by justice, and resolutely joined the expeditionary force formed by the archmage Khadgar, and led the warriors into the world of orcs bravely, to destroy the dark gate and win peace for the alliance forever.

This kind of behavior makes Danas. Thorbain has truly become a legend, and there is no soldier in the seven countries of the alliance who does not respect him, and after more than a month of life-and-death adventure, General Danas has returned from Draenor with the warriors, this news shocked the entire alliance.

However, General Danas, who had returned with honors, refused all guests and recuperated at his home at Fort Rapids for nearly a week, the first time he reappeared in the soldiers' sights.

"Have the kings arrived?"

Danas threw the reins of his horse to the royal guards beside him, and he reached out to straighten his armor and asked:

"Are the mages of Dalaran here?"

"Except for His Majesty Jean and His Majesty Varian, the other kings have arrived!"

The guard replied with admiration on his face:

"The archmages of Dalaran came to Lordaeron yesterday, and the big men are waiting for you, General, you are the pride and legend of the Alliance!"

This heartfelt compliment made Danas pause, his expression a little darkened, he forced a smile and patted the soldier on the shoulder:

"Maybe."

After saying these words of unknown meaning, under the leadership of the royal guards in front of him, Danas. Torbain strode into the court, and soon came to the hall of the King's Council.

The heavy mahogany door slowly closed behind him, like a closed cage, and before him, the kings and representatives from the countries of the Alliance, and the mage from Quel'Thalas, who had come on behalf of the prince of Kael'thas, and Kudran, the griffin knight who had crossed the Dark Gate with Danas, sat on the side, winking at the general.

"It's terrible that they interrogated me like a prisoner."

The open-mouthed dwarf, with a hint of displeasure, said to Danas:

"My interrogation is over, now it's your turn."

This remark made the kings' faces a little ugly, and King Terenus, who was sitting in the center, waved his scepter and said in a deep voice:

"Son of the Hammer, I know that this kind of inquiry makes you very unhappy, but there is no way, the news you brought back from Draenor is too important, and the generals who have decided to stay in Draenor are related to the stability of the entire alliance, so we have to be cautious."

"Prudent?"

Kudran blew his beard and glared at the old king, his deep voice echoing through the hall:

"We were under house arrest for more than a month as soon as we returned! You've probably finished asking every soldier before you come to ask us, but I'm not your prisoner! If it weren't for Danas and Khadgar's invitation, I wouldn't have joined that expeditionary legion at all! ”

"Calm down, Kudran, no one is taking you as a prisoner!"

King Darein, who was sitting next to Terenus, waved his hand:

"Besides, the Grand Lord of Furstad has agreed to our request, the Silver Hand has lost a Grand Knight, Quel'Salas has lost an important Ranger, Dalaran has lost an Archmage, another world connected to us has been turned upside down, and you have brought back the news of the terrifying Necromancy and Demons... We have to be cautious! ”

The dwarf wanted to say something, but Danas reached out to stop him, the human general was obviously more sensible, in fact, the moment he crossed the dark gate, he guessed what kind of embarrassing situation they would face when they returned, and he was mentally prepared.

Danas sat in the chair brought by the attendants, and he looked at the king and the delegates before him, and he whispered:

"I think that Kudran and the soldiers have made it clear everything about the expedition, so what do you want to know from me, Your Majesty and delegates?"

The big men sitting at the round table in front of them whispered a few words, and then the old Archbishop of the Holy Light, Fao, was the first to ask:

"General Danas, I believe in your loyalty to the Alliance and your self-integrity, but I have a question about the letter you brought back about my disciple Tulayan..."

General Danas nodded:

"Excuse me, Archbishop, I will know everything!"

"Good."

His Majesty's recent health was so bad that he could probably guess that he might soon be summoned by the Light to die, and at this point in time, the secrets of the Light told in the letters brought back by his disciple Tulayan had caused the Archbishop to lose sleep almost all night.

At this time, the venerable old man looked at Danas, and he asked very seriously:

"Naru! Does Naru really exist? Is that divine creature the true embodiment of the Light, as Tulayan says? And the secrets they reveal, the war between the Draenei and the demons of the Light, and the warnings of the Prophet... All of this is very important to us! ”

"I understand, Fa Ya Crown."

Danas nodded, and Kudran, the dwarf sitting beside him, rolled his eyes, the old man had asked him almost once before.

"Your Majesty and delegates, I can swear by the blood of the noble House of Torbain here, that everything that Naru and the High Knight of Tulayan say in their letter is true!"

The general said in a deep voice:

"I, Kudlan, Tulayan, Aurelia, Khadgar, and some paladins have all seen Naru's presence in Shattrath City, and I don't know if these creatures are real creatures of the Light, but I am sure that as I approached them, I did feel a warm light like the Light filling my soul, a feeling that was more obscure than the understanding of the Light in the world of Azeroth!"

"Naru has a grasp of the path of light that we don't know, and it is far more advanced than the path of light that we have studied, which is why the sincere Knight Tulayan decided to stay in the world of Draenor, and his sincerity to the light should have been heard by everyone present."

Fao nodded, this statement was consistent with the statements of those paladins, and in the face of his remaining problems, General Danas did not hide it:

"And then there's the problem of the Draenei, who are some of the Immortals who have been blessed by the Light, and as far as I know, their leader, Mr. Viren, who is revered as the "Prophet", has lived for at least 30,000 years, and there are many such long-lived Draenei, and their lifespan is longer than we can imagine! And the news of the devil was relayed to me by the prophet before I left. ”

The human general's gaze swept over the crowd in front of him, and he whispered:

"As we leave Draenor, the demon scouts are already active in Draenor, and the flaming demons of the stars are about to launch a raid on the world of Draenor, and whether they take Draenor or not, they will turn their attention to our world!"

"Azeroth! This world that defeated the Burning Legion 10,000 years ago..."

General Danas stood up, and said with a serious face, "Whatever the reason for the prophet to tell us this fact, I think we must be prepared for it!" ”

This warning had been spoken by the dwarf Kudran once before, so no one seemed too surprised when Danas said it, and some of the younger delegates turned their gaze to the elf of Quel'Thalas, who was sitting on the other side, the ranger general who had come on behalf of Prince Kael'thas, the indifferent Sylvanas with a cold face. Windranger.

Windranger stared at Danas. Tol Bain, a few seconds later, she whispered:

"Let's put aside the news about the demons, human, I asked the dwarf, and the answer the dwarf gave me was very disappointed, I felt that he was lying, so I asked you again, my sister, Aurelia. Windranger, what the hell is going on? ”

"Hey, you rude pointy ears, how do you talk!"

Sylvanas's unceremonious speech made Kudran very angry, and the dwarf felt that the elf was humiliating him, but the next moment, Danas's palm was on the dwarf's shoulder, and he looked directly into Sylvanas's indifferent eyes, and he said calmly:

"Aurelia. Lady Windranger has fulfilled her duty perfectly, and she has found the dead Ranger Tyrion. Dawnblade, and... She joined him and became a necromancy. ”

"You're lying!"

This terrible news was affirmed by the two commanders, and Sylvanas immediately lost her cool after what happened to her sister, and she stood up with a slap on the table, and shouted loudly:

"My sister is a good and perfect Ranger, she's a true Windranger, she definitely wouldn't..."

Sylvanas's voice was interrupted as Tulayan took two things from the squire behind her and placed them in front of her:

"This is what Aurelia asked me to bring back, and I'm sorry I didn't take it out before, because I had to fulfill my friend's request to deliver it to you by hand! You're her sister, right? ”

The Ranger General looked at what Danas had handed her, as if she had lost all her soul, and what Danas had handed over, an old red warbow, and a broken emerald pendant with only a third of it remaining.

"Aurelia asked me to tell you and Miss Winlessa, as well as Mr. Rilas, and she said that although it was difficult, she had made a decision, and she believed that a dark soul could be saved, and someone had to make a sacrifice."

General Danas looked at the empty eyes of the Ranger General in front of him, he was a little unbearable, a little pity, but he still completely relayed Aurelia's words.

She also said that she would pray for her loved ones in another world, and that she would be there for you whenever you needed her... Sylvanas. Windranger, I, Danas. Thorbain, in place of my friend Aurelia. The Windranger conveys to you the most important entrustment... From today onwards, you will be the new patriarch of the Windranger family! ”

This news somewhat shocked the delegates at the meeting, they did not expect to witness the power change of an ancient family that has been inherited for at least 7,000 years, but the protagonist of this power change is now completely out of state.

"She ended up still... Left us behind..."

Sylvanas took the two things like a walking corpse, and behind her, a tearful Winresa stood up and helped her dejected sister out of the hall, a scene that made all the delegates in attendance a little emotional, but they did not accuse Aurelia of power.

Aurelia. Windranger is the war hero of the Alliance, and although the decisions she made were regrettable, they did not hurt the interests of the Alliance, but they made people sigh a little that women, no matter how powerful they were, are always slaves to their feelings.

"Bang"

His Majesty King Solas, King of Riptide, had his scepter on the ground, stopping the whispering, and he looked at the delegates of Dalaran not far away, and he whispered:

"Ms. Aurelia's choice is regrettable... But whoever still has questions to ask the heroes of the League, just go ahead. ”
