The sunlight pierced the darkness and once again cast a warm light on the land of Quel'Thalas, but the elves who got up early this morning found that the gates of the majestic Silvermoon City were closed, and even the magical barrier above the city was opened.

Heavily armed and anxious-looking guards, under the orders of the commanders, guarded every entrance and exit of the golden city, and the royal guards, who were rarely seen on weekdays, also rode combat chocobos, and rushed into the Yongsong Forest beyond Quel'Salas one by one.

There is no doubt that something happened, but the problem is that the authorities have refused to release any information, and have only driven the civilians back to their homes.

A tense and solemn atmosphere rose in the entire Silver Moon City.

And in the very center of the city, in the court of the Sun-Chasing King, the stern-faced Sun King of Quel'Salas, Anastarian, was sitting on his throne, looking at the people in the court with a cold gaze.

This is a secret summons, and the people from the royal party and the council faction who had fled back to Silvermoon City are here...

The parliamentarian faction was left with only Darkan. Drahil and a few ** divisions who escaped with their lives, and there were only two people left who returned from the royal party, and the whole body was wrapped in strange blood light, and the unconscious Lotharma. Theron, as well as the ** master Lanna Serr, who was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the dim magical holy sword Queldra in both hands, and his whole body was stained with blood.

Heavy losses ... To be honest, it is a bit of a misuse to describe the operation as a result of heavy losses, and "total annihilation" is perhaps more appropriate, or another less appropriate word... Affected pond fish.

"My loyal chief of the guard, where is Salorian, the warrior of Quel'Thalas?"

The Sun King's icy voice rang out in the royal court:

"Darkan, you promised me that it would be foolproof... That's the answer you gave me? ”

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, just some surprises..."

The king's cold questioning made the usually calm Darkan feel a little embarrassed, and he wanted to say something, but the situation was so bad that he could only keep a gloomy face.

"Taquilin, Corona Village, Temple of the Sun... There was a dead silence in the magical response of these towns, and evil energy was growing in the forests south of the Eternal Song Forest, and the civilians could see the blood light above the forest with both eyes, you tell me, it was just some accident? ”

The Sun King stood up, he strode down from his throne, grabbed the magical sword that Lannather held in both hands, and walked up to Darkan, he reached out and grabbed Darkan's collar, and said in a voice full of anger:

"Should I throw you out of the royal court and let you explain what happened to the terrified civilians?"

"Darkan. Drahir, your inability to bring shame on the Sunseeker royal family and the entire court! My most loyal guard officers died on the battlefield, in the battle to stop the monster from slaughtering the civilians, the undeserved, dead, and the damned... But he fled! Tell me... The one who died there, why not you! ”

How long has it been since the Sun King has been so out of shape?

As King of Quel'Thalas, who had ruled for 3,000 years, Anastarian had always led the people with a glorious image, and he had been treated with cold but respectful attitude even to the members of the council who disliked him, but at this time, he had clearly been completely enraged by this utter defeat.

And in the face of the angry king, Councillor Darkan gritted his teeth, and after a moment he raised his head, and whispered to the king in a broken jar:

"Your Majesty, be decent... You are also involved, and we would not have been able to organize this ambush without your approval, and I am personally willing to bear the shame of the failure of the mission, but this is not the responsibility to be held accountable now. The Blood Mother will not give up, and she is crazy and is the trouble to be solved now. ”

"Perhaps."

The Sun King waved his finger noncommittally, and the Phoenix Guards stepped forward and put a heavy shackle on Darkan's hands and feet, and the King walked to the top of the palace without looking back, and he whispered:

"But that's none of your business anymore... Someone must be held accountable for the humiliating defeat, and the blood of the people cannot be shed in vain! ”

"Darkan. Draxier, you have been removed from the council because your imminent escape has caused us to lose at least three towns and thousands of people, therefore, you have been convicted of treason, and from now on, enjoy your life as a prisoner. ”

At the same time, in the hall of the prestigious Silvermoon Council in Silvermoon City, Romans, who was dressed in red robes, haggard and old, with only one arm left, stood in the position of the original Darkan, in front of him, the unprepared Silvermoon Councillors with great strength and unpreparedness looked extremely ugly, Romans patted the table with his only remaining hand, and he announced in a hoarse voice:

"Darkan and his companions have failed, they have fled, resulting in heavy losses in Quel'Thalas, and in last night's battle, the Silvermoon Council also successfully proved its incompetence and internal corruption, and the leaders of the council have failed to live up to the expectations of the people and the members of the council, therefore, with the power bestowed by the Sun King, I hereby declare that the Silvermoon Council, as of today, has entered a state of special control, and all your activities must be reported to the Sunrise Court!"

"Romans, you bastard!"

As soon as the teacher's words fell, an old mage stood up indignantly, pointed at Romans and shouted:

"You royal party members who are hiding among us! Traitor! ”

"Stupid!"

With a wave of Romans' fingers, the menacing Phoenix Guardian stepped forward, locked the roaring old mage with the shackles of the forbidden demons, and roughly dragged him out of the council hall.

"Quel'Salas has entered the most dangerous state, our country and people are expecting someone to stand up and protect them, and the parliament has proven itself unable to take up this mission, at this moment the so-called royal party and parliamentary differences have become meaningless..."

"It's time to unite, friends, the country and the people need your strength!"

"For Quel'Thalas!"

————————————————

"She's coming, Your Majesty!"

In the front line of the magic sanctuary at the forefront of the Yongge Forest, the guards who came in a hurry reported the new news to the Sun King Anastarian who was on the front line, wearing a magical armor, the Sun King looked heroic and opened his eyes from the state of closed eyes, he nodded to the rangers and mages around him, and a moment later, a large and powerful guard appeared on the southern border of the Yongge Forest.

Looking across the river in front of us, in the forest south of the Yongge Forest, even under the sunlight, the darkness flowing in the forest has never diminished, as if there is a special force preventing the sun from seeping into the forest.

On the other side of the river, under the gaze of the Sun King, a slender figure stood in front of Quel'Thalas's army, surrounded by nearly 10,000 men, but she did not show a look of fear or retreat.

Compared to Aurelia's crazy posture in last night's chaos, the Blood Housemother at this time has become much quieter, probably because the bloodthirsty instinct is satisfied, and from the outside, Aurelia no longer has the madness of last night.

She seemed to have taken time to wash up, her blood-stained face had regained its original charm and charm, and the blood-colored energy wafting around her had reshaped her outfit, no longer the tattered clothes, but a gorgeous lady's long dress, the blood-red dress was decorated with black butterfly-like decorations, and there was a tulle-like headdress in front of her cheeks, which looked full of mystery and grace.

Her long red hair was draped over her shoulders and coiled in a bun on top of her head, giving her a feminine softness.

But those eyes, those gauzy blood-red eyes, still shone with a daze, which proved that Aurelia still hadn't regained her senses, and that Salein's bloodlust was still affecting her.

"Aurelia. Windranger! ”

A trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the Sun King Anastarian, he was undoubtedly one of the most powerful mages in Quel'Salas, his perception of energy was very keen, and the blood-colored halos that calmly scattered around the Blood Lord Mother looked inconspicuous, but the terrifying corrosion hidden in them, as well as the energy fluctuations hidden in the depths, were enough to raise the Sun King's vigilance to the highest.

It is said that Salein in the Darkblade Legion is a member of the high-level undead sequence, they live on blood, and the more blood they drink, the more mature the bloodline becomes, and how much blood must be drawn to make the power of blood reach the level that now haunts Aurelia's body?

It was undoubtedly a terrifying number that everyone present did not want to think about, and in the forest behind her, there was probably no life left.

"You were a hero of Quel'Salas! If they could, no one would want to meet you in such a situation..."

The Sun King organized the words, and in the face of his voice, the Blood Mother standing on the other side of the river was unusually silent, as if she hadn't heard it, and didn't say a word.

"If you still have your senses, then let us both lay down our arms and have a good talk..."

Anastarian motioned to the ranger generals around him to step back a little bit, and at the shouts of the commanders, the Quel'Salas army on the other side of the river slowly retreated within 20 yards or so, enclosing the area where the Sun King and Aurelia were talking, like a ring.

"Click, click"

In the silence of the confrontation, in the dense forest behind Aurelia, the clash of armor suddenly sounded, and a moment later, a tall elf in silver armor appeared in the eyes of the Sun King, holding an elf-style carafe in his hand, filled with flowing blood, he stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, and handed the water bottle to Aurelia with both hands.

The latter smelled the blood, and finally reacted, and she picked up the water bottle, put it to her mouth, and began to drink the blood silently.

As the Blood Mother drank the blood, the warrior in silver armor stood up and looked at the Sun King, and after a sigh, he reached out and took off his phoenix-like helmet, revealing his youthful face, long flowing blood-colored hair, and blood-red eyes.

"Salorian!"

The Sun King let out an exclamation, and the vampire in front of him was his most loyal royal chief of guard, the warrior of Quel'Thalas.

"My Majesty... Retreat with the brave soldiers. ”

Salorian. The Morning Seeker looked at the once loyal king with a calm but sad gaze, and he said in a deep voice:

"I'll lure the Mistress out of Quel'Thalas, she's in a state of blood control at this time, don't provoke her... You don't want to her off, trust me. ”

"Do you still have your own sanity?"

Anastarian shouted:

"Then come back, Salorian, no one will despise you, go back to where you belong... I promise! ”

"But I can't!"

Salorian looked back at Aurelia and whispered:

"The power of blood spreads through my body, in my soul, and the Mistress does not bind my will, but Sarein's instincts keep me from returning to the world of the living, and she uses her good side to reshape me with great difficulty in endless pain, so I can't turn my back on her... Go back, Your Majesty, and this catastrophe will end, I promise. ”

This answer silenced the Sun King, and after a moment, he shook his head:

"I'm sorry, Salorian, I have to be responsible for my country and my people... Single-handedly causing thousands of civilian casualties, this sin cannot be forgiven, and I must put an end to Aurelia here. The sinful life of the Windranger. ”

"Shhh

Feeling the malice breeding, the water bottle in Aurelia's unconscious state slipped down, and at the moment when the shattered, blood-soaked glass was scattered on the ground, the huge red dragon wings behind the Blood Master Mother suddenly opened, and the energy storm set off made half of the forest tremble, her sharp teeth were exposed beyond her lips, and between the shimmering figures, the blood-colored energy pulled a dazzling afterimage behind her.

"Knort"

A flaming magical sword struck Aurelia with pinpoint on the bloody claws that Aurelia had grasped, and between the sparks, King Anastarian's calm eyes and Aurelia's chaotic eyes met, and the next moment, behind Quel'Salas Silvermoon City, on Queldanus Island near the coast, the golden Well of the Sun was drawn at the will of the Sun King.

The golden lines of mana spread rapidly through the air along the extension of the Renault Bandil barrier, and finally locked onto the battlefield of Anastarian and Aurelia, and the powerful magic from the Well of the Sun frantically washed the riverside clearing in the form of a magic waterfall, binding the heavy pressure around the body of the Blood Master.

In the purest form of magical suppression, the golden magic seeped into the body of the Blood Master, forcibly dispersing the blood-colored halo that lingered around her body, and in a hoarse roar, Salein's mad bestiality was suppressed by the power of the ancients, and Aurelia's sanity finally began to return.

Finally, in the sigh of the Sun King, the Blood Master, who had been completely wrapped in the golden wave of the Sun Well, raised her hands with difficulty, she trembled, looking at the blood on her ten fingers that could not be washed away, the scenes of last night began to repeat in her mind, and finally, she closed her eyes in pain, as if she had given up resistance, and let the huge golden magic completely drown herself.

"Tyrion... Forgive me..."

"I've become the one you hate the most... Monsters..."
