11. The procession of the mistress

"I'm just going home."

Wearing a hood, Aurelia sat behind the Death Raven, and high in the air beside her, 30 high-ranking knights wielding necromantic dragons were vigilantly lined up in a guard formation, and in the sky ahead, there were several of the most elite Death Raven assassins who belonged to the Raven King Tyrok 600 years ago as scouts for the advance.

This is already a well-equipped combat team, and they are not on a tactical mission at this time, but purely to escort the Blood Mother of the Darkblade Legion through the skies of the Northern Frontier and return to Quel'Thalas.

But this kind of battle made Aurelia very dissatisfied, and the Blood Mother complained to the air around her:

"There is simply no need for so many people to escort ... Look at them, with murderous faces, as if they were going out to fight. ”

Moments later, a Blood Warden in blood-colored armor appeared behind Aurelia, one of her Blood Maids, who had followed her to Kodana in Quel'Thalas.

The swaggering former watchman was not as cautious as her previous leader, and in the face of Aurelia's complaints, Kodana sat beside her, soothing the somewhat irascible mistress:

"It was your repeated requests that led His Majesty to reduce the number of escorts to 30 people... If he had envisioned it, there would probably be two warbands returning to Quel'Thalas with you..."

"Hell! That's why I said he was a little too protective of me, and I just went back to see my sister and brother. ”

Aurelia shook her head:

"I'm not here to conquer the whole of Quel'Thalas, 2 warbands? He could imagine that 150,000 undead would enter the border of Quel'Thalas, and Anastarian would immediately gather his army. ”

"It's not your Majesty's concern, in fact, Mistress, you know, everyone doesn't agree with you returning to Quel'Thalas at this time."

Kordana whispered:

"The High Elves have joined the battle line of the Human Empire, they are now hostile to us, and the Banty Renor barrier around Quel'Salas has long been repaired, I heard that the elves have been strengthening it in recent years, that kind of magic suppression is troublesome, maybe the unique Salein can avoid suppression... But either way, you're pretty much in the net this time. ”

"What can I do?"

Aurelia narrowed her eyes angrily:

"You have also seen the front-line battle report, Quel'Salas will send the Ranger General to command the Far Traveler to support the battlefield of Arathi Heights, my stupid sister will take people to Arathi to die, you know Tyrion very well, and I know my sister's temper better, once the two meet, they are destined to only survive one..."

A hint of worry flashed in the red eyes of the Blood Master:

"As much as I'd love to have faith in my silly sister, to be honest, unless a miracle happens, it's certainly not her who survives... One is my sister and the other is my husband, I don't want Shiva to be an undead, I don't want her to experience the pain of losing her feelings, I have to stop her, even if it means knocking her unconscious and imprisoning her in the Dark Temple for the rest of her life..."

Aurelia looked at the hills in the distance, and she whispered:

"The fall of Quel'Thalas is inevitable, and as a wife, I have to support Tyrion, and I believe that under his rule, the High Elves will not live worse than they used to be."

"But with all due respect, Mistress."

Kordana shrugged:

"Your adventure is just to make your Majesty resolve, in case your former compatriots make some less "proper" moves, maybe the 13 warbands of the wetlands will cross the Hammer Mountain in an instant, I haven't been to Quel'Thalas, and I don't know the military power of the High Elves, but I believe that they will certainly not be able to stop such a full-scale attack. ”

"I know everything, Kodana, but there are some things you have to do."

Aurelia's eyes were full of worry:

"I asked Weenlessa to convince Sylvanas, and as a result, Winlessa was grounded in Shiva's Windranger Manor, and my silly sister has made up her mind that I must stop her before she does something stupid, and this is to protect her, and it would be better for me to solve the problem than for Tyrion to solve the problem."

"In short, you can't enter the Banty Renor Enchantment!"

Seeing that she couldn't convince Aurelia, Kordana had no choice but to move out of Tyrion's request before leaving:

"This is what you promised Your Majesty, if you have to go over, these guards guarding you, including me, can only forcibly take you back, I hope you can understand us, Nassa's tragic experience, I don't want it to happen to us."

"Of course, Kodana, I won't make it difficult for you."

Aurelia brushed her long, dark blonde hair and smiled at the Blood Warden:

"I'll meet my sister and brothers at the junction of Stratholme and Quel'Salas, and everything will be fine, don't worry."

———————————————————

The fortress of Desholm, at the junction of Stratholme and Quel'Thalas, was once the front line of Quel'Thalas's defenses, and was used as a horn to protect the mountain road from Stratholme to Quel'Thalas, located north of Stratholme.

However, during the Second Orc War, the fortress was destroyed by the orcs who stormed into Quel'Thalas, and even the magic nodes in this place were almost completely abandoned by the intervention of one of Gul'dan's warlocks, so after the war, although the fortress of Dysom was rebuilt, the number of garrisons in this area was greatly reduced.

Instead, the garrison of the Queldolin Lodge, which was under the control of the High Elves in the northern part of Stratholme, grew in numbers.

At the northern exit of Stratholme, an elite Ranger unit is personally commanded by Quel'Thalas's prestigious high-ranking ranger Hawksbill, and it is worth mentioning that Hawksbill was an old man of the era of the previous Ranger General, Lady Liresa, and in his youth, he was called the Ranger King of Quel'Thalas, of course, that was an honorific title.

Now, he is also one of the few generals in Quel'Salas and is directly managed by the Ranger General, but to be honest, it's hard to say whether a veteran like Hawksbill will convince the young Sylvanas.

The flying army of the undead, flying high in the air, obscured by the clouds, easily bypassed the warning range of the Queldorin Hut, and then descended along the high mountains of Quel'Salas, and finally landed in the outer forests of the fortress of Dysom, where the nervous and young Liras. Windranger, it's been a long time coming.

Lass is Aurelia's youngest brother and the last child of Lady Liresa and her husband, who was captured by Zulkin and brutally murdered during a mission a few days after his birth.

Tyrion is older than Rirath, who was a baby when Tyrion first joined the Windranger family, and General Liresa was too busy with business and the loss of her husband to take care of him...

In more emotional terms, Rias is more like a child raised by Tyrion and Aurelia.

Of the Windranger family, he also has the deepest relationship with Tyrion and Aurelia.

This young man inherited the fine bloodline of the Windranger family, with a handsome face and a slender body, wearing green armor, carrying a war bow, long golden hair scattered over his shoulders, and a pair of pale blue eyes.

At this time, the young man walked around the dense forest with some uneasiness, this is the meeting place that Aurelia and he have agreed to meet, after Wenlesa returned to Quel'Thalas, she will often exchange letters with Aurelia, although Aurelia will only write a reply when she has time, after all, the King of the Dark Blade is out on a campaign, and the Blood Mistress has to manage the order of the entire Draenor world, which is extremely busy.

However, the exchange of letters between the two sides has not been interrupted, and after receiving the news that Wenlesa is going to lead Sylvanas to lead the army, Aurelia rushed back as soon as possible, and for this, she even quarreled with Tyrion for the first time in her life.

Tyrion did not allow her to return to Quel'Thalas at this time, the King of the Blades indifferently thought it was a conspiracy, but Aurelia was as stubborn as a brute, coupled with the fact that Tyrion took Dornan to a dangerous battlefield a few days ago, and what happened to Nasa before, the emotions of many parties completely angered Aurelia, and the two even almost fought.

In short, after a few days of cold war, Tyrion, who had been upset, had to make concessions.

"Whoa, whoa"

The sound of wings blowing the wind made Rilas, who was hidden in the dense forest, raise his head, and in the light of dusk approaching night, he saw dozens of black dots slowly descending towards where he was, shrouded in the shadows of the mountains.

Rilas immediately drew his war bow with his backhand and mounted a few arrows, he didn't disbelieve his sister, but the fact that Aurelia became Sarein made him have to be a little vigilant, although Winlesa kept telling her that Aurelia's feelings for her relatives had not changed, but because Winlessa was always reluctant to tell the details of her meeting with Aurelia, this statement was very suspicious of Sylvanas.

And sandwiched between the contradictions of the two older sisters has made Lilas very painful recently, especially a few days ago, Winlessa and Sylvanas had a fight at Windranger Manor... Almost a quarter of the buildings on the estate were destroyed.

In recent years, the whole world has changed, and all the things that happened around him, from the death of his mother in battle, to the cursed undead of his brother and sister, these encounters have been constantly happening, all of which have made Lilas have to start looking at the world with adult eyes, to see many things.

"Wow"

The first undead wyvern landed on the ground, the beast native to the world of Draenor with two heads, both adorned with heavy and hideous armor, its claws covered with sharp claw blades, and behind it, on its back, rode the cold and tall knights, who leaped down from the wyvern one by one, clenched their weapons in silence, and then dispersed in a tactical formation.

After a quick search of the entire dense forest, after confirming that there was no ambush, the five knights vaguely surrounded Lilas, and then the captain of the Death Knight sent a signal to the formation patrolling high in the sky.

Several high-ranking Raven Assassins quietly entered a state of concealment in the air, suspended above the dense forest, observing the surroundings at a high altitude all the time, and under the escort of other knights, the huge, hideous and beautiful and noble Death Raven slowly landed in the dense forest, and the storm set off by this powerful creature when it landed blew up Liras's long hair, so that the young man couldn't help but look at it.

Quel'Salas had never seen such a gigantic beast, and its black eyes alone showed that it was not only the mount of the noble, but also their helper in battle.

The Grim Reaper Raven, decorated with gems and gold carvings, folded her wings, and the woman with a dark red hood on the saddle jumped off her mount, she looked left and right, and then set her eyes on Liras, she walked over quickly, reached out and took off her hood, the long dark blonde hair, and the blood-red eyes, made Liras unwilling to believe that this woman with a cold aura wrapped in her whole body was the eldest sister who used to take care of herself.

He subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to Aurelia, but was blocked by a cold arc moon blade, the Blood Warden Kodana looked at Lilas with a scrutinizing gaze, her hands roamed quickly around Liras's body, and after making sure that this guy was not carrying an explosive weapon, she shook her head at Liras:

"Go, the Mistress is waiting for you... But you'd better not try to trick her! Young man, Your Majesty and the Mistress may be thinking of family affection, but I will not... Everyone here can easily cut off your head... Trust me, we'd love to do that. ”

Lilas gritted his teeth, he tried to make himself forget Cordana's malice, he took a few steps forward, and before he could speak, he was held in the arms of Aurelia, the blood master mother gently patted her brother's back as before, and she said with emotion in a hoarse voice:

"It's been years, Laras, my brother, you look like you've finally grown up, don't care about the cold attitude of the knights and Kodana, their duty, believe me, they're all very good people... And then, I miss you so much, brother, I miss you so much, everyone. ”

"Sister..."

Relas called out to Aurelia, and as soon as she called out to her sister, tears gushed out of her eyes, blood, this is a bond that you can never escape.

I couldn't say a lot of things I thought about before, this young man hugged his sister to death, everything that happened recently gave him too much pressure, change, change is always strange, especially the drastic changes in life, can always easily destroy a person.

The moment he saw Aurelia, Rilas felt as if he had found a safe haven, and he sobbed and said:

"We miss you too... We want you to come back, back to your homeland, and if you're not there, it's hard to be called a writer there. ”

"Silly boy, I want to be by your side too."

Aurelia let go of her brother, and she looked at him with a look of affection, but after a moment she whispered with some regret:

"Unfortunately, not at least not now, I have more important things to do."

This kind of refusal made Lilas's heart cold, and he didn't know what attitude to use to face the eldest sister in front of him for a while, the gossip that made him upset and irritable before seemed to be wrong, Aurelia, the eldest daughter of the Windranger really hasn't changed much.

The atmosphere between the two men became strange and awkward, and after a few moments, Aurelia coughed lightly, stroked Liras's long hair, and asked softly:

"Why are you alone? What about Sylvanas? Didn't she promise that she would come to see me too? ”

"Second sister... Second sister she... She couldn't come. ”

Iras lowered his head, not daring to look into Aurelia's eyes, he took a deep breath and whispered:

"The second sister was injured by the third sister... Although she won, the strange power of the third sister still hurt her, the two of them were like crazy, fighting in the manor, after the third sister was subdued, the second sister in order to cover up the news, she said that she was going to cultivate for a while... But she was badly wounded, and she asked me to come over and let me tell you that she would not take her troops to Arathi, and in fact, she would not be able to go to war now. ”

"What did you say?"

Aurelia's gaze became serious, Wen Lesa has been receiving the transformation of the dragon king's blood, Rilas said that she has the power to injure Sylvanas, Aurelia has no doubt at all, the dragon king's blood has a more obvious effect on the power of the living, and if it is really in the case of extreme anger, Wen Lesa, who has just obtained this power, can't control her strength, it is also very normal.

"Tell me, Lilas, look me in the eye... What the hell happened to my sister, your sister, Sylvanas? ”

"Second sister... She, she's been seriously injured and unconscious, and the family doctor can't be sure how long it will take for her to wake up. ”

Aurelia turned pale, her fists clenched, but then she let go:

"Damn it!"

She cursed in a low voice, and after a moment, she calmed down, looked at the silent knights around her, and in the glint in her eyes, she patted Lilas on the shoulder:

"I see, you can go back first..."
