Shantis. General Hazuki hasn't been in a good mood lately.

This Night Elf Sentinel General, who is more than 10,000 years old, has a graceful body, a near-perfect body, and a very beautiful face, especially after wearing armor, she can always attract the attention of the opposite sex, and many men with status in the Night Elf society have expressed some kind of "kindness" to her, but the iceberg-like Shantis always disdains these suitors.

She already belongs... It's a pity that the man has been gone for thousands of years.

Of course, the reason why General Hazuki has been in a bad mood lately is not because of personal feelings, as a member of the Elune Sisterhood, plus a high-ranking officer who has experienced the Battle of the Ancients, the Battle of Sartre, and the Battle of Quicksand, she does not put her personal feelings before her official duties.

That is, the general was in a bad mood because of the high-level affairs of Kadore... To be precise, it has to do with some decisions made by her adoptive mother and adoptive father.

"I also know that the threat represented by the demons is stronger, but... But how can you completely ignore the threat of Silisus..."

From time to time, General Hazuki rode on her own black frostbladed leopard, and from time to time she looked back to the north, in the direction of Ashendale, where the elite troops of the Sentinel Legion and the druids were together in an attempt to encircle the demons that roamed the Felwood Forest.

It was too close to the Holy Mountain Hyjal, too close to the World Tree Nodashir, on which the Night Elves depended, and the Great General could understand the inner attachment of his adoptive father and mother, but if he had to completely abandon the southern frontier of the mainland as the price of defending the Holy Mountain, Hazuki would not approve of it.

After all, she'd been here for nearly 10,000 years, and she had her own feelings for the land, and she knew better how much it would affect all of Kalimdor if Silisus's insects broke through the barrier.

"At that time, even if you fought off the demons and turned around to clean up the mess... I don't know how long it will take. Mother, don't you really see this threat? Or is it... You see it, but you don't want to bother with it? ”

Santis pondered this question in her heart, and when she occasionally looked up, she could clearly see the human army marching forward in the desert, they were numerous, including cavalry and a large number of infantry, this should not be the first warrior to go to the Cenarion Fortress to participate in the battle of quicksand.

And what makes Santis most curious is what kind of magic power those steel weapons carried by humans.

She had heard that not long ago, the soldiers of the anti-Zerg front had defeated the Zerg of Tanaris with this weapon.

As a true battlefield general, Santis is well aware of the changes that weapon innovation will bring to warfare, so under the cold exterior, General Hazuki also wants to figure out how this new weapon originated from the Human Empire works.

"Accelerate forward!"

Thinking of this, Santis, who was wearing a black battle helmet, pulled the reins of the frostblade leopard, turned his head and said to the captain of the huntress beside him:

"Be sure to get to the Cenarion Fortress before sunset! Let the sisters hold on a little longer! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

——————————————————————

Before the War of the Ancients, the army of the Elven Empire did not value talent, but distinguished officers by blood, which led to the fact that in the early stage of the War of the Ancients, when facing the demon legions, the standing army of the elves was almost at the touch of a button, except for the legions of the Black Raven Castle led by the powerful Lord Ravenkes, the other noble legions were basically not too capable of fighting.

And after the War of Antiquity, as a religious leader, Tyrande decisively changed this rotten system of joining the army, she single-handedly created the Sentinel Legion, absorbing a large number of elf women to join the battle, of course, in the recent period, there are also male sentries appear in the legion, but in the Sentinel Army, women still account for the majority.

The top of the Sentinel Force, basically all members of the mysterious organization of the Elune Sisterhood, which appeared as early as the heyday of the Elven Empire, they uphold a strange idea: that is, only women can better understand the will of the moon god, therefore, there is no male in the Elune Sisterhood, in the leader of the sisterhood, Tyrande. After Yu Feng became the religious leader of the Night Elves, it directly led to the fact that the upper echelons of Cadore were basically women.

In other words, this civilization can be regarded as a civilization of yin and yang, but it is not necessarily true, after women hold up half the sky, men often join the Druids, seek the principles of nature, or become lone rangers... The Night Elf Ranger is also well-known among the elven population, at least no worse than the High Elf Ranger.

But there is another stubborn notion in the more enlightened organization of the Elune Sisterhood:

Due to the chaotic nature of arcane magic, the Elune Sisters do not approve of the High Night Elves' use of arcane magic, they abhor all misuse of magic, and the wells of eternity that once existed are especially considered a source of potential danger.

In fact, long before the misuse of magic by the High Elves brought about the devastation of the War of the Ancients, whether or not the Well of Eternity should be used has been a widely discussed topic in Elune's Sisterhood classes... And Santis Hazuki, a high-ranking member of the Elune Sisterhood, who was influenced by her adoptive mother Tyrande, agrees with this idea from the bottom of her heart.

This is also why Deer Helmet and Marris have to complete the inventory of the inside of the fortress before Santis arrives, once Santis knows that there are sentinels in the fortress who have joined the cult and abused depraved magic, then in the indifferent sanctions of this iron-blooded general, there will definitely be many people who will be implicated, and the attitude of the Luna priests towards betrayers will not be better than that of the paladins of the Holy Light Church.

"Master Deerhelm..."

Dusty Santis. Feather Moon jumped down from her frostblade leopard and walked up to Deer Helm with the sturdy steps of a soldier, bowing her head slightly, Santis also heard about Deer Helmet's defection from the Cenarion Council and his move to resurrect the Wilderness Demigods, but because she was not a druid, she was not willing to participate in the internal affairs of the druid, so her attitude towards Deer Helm did not change much.

Whether or not he was a member of the Cenarion Council, he was a respectable warrior and defender, as Santis was well aware of, as she and Helmet were contemporaries.

"Please come with me, General Santis, it's going to be hard work, and the commanders are already waiting for you."

The deer helmet said a gentle word to the general in front of him, and then turned around to lead the way, but was stopped by Santis:

"No, wait a minute, Master, I have some things that I want to discuss privately with you before meeting with the Clan Commanders."

"Huh?"

Deerhelm looked back at Santis, and after noticing Santis' unpleasant eyes, he seemed to understand something, he nodded, and the two commanders walked into the side hall of the fortress under the escort of the sentinels.

"I brought my adoptive father's apologies..."

In the side room, Santis sat down in a chair and said to the deerhelm sitting opposite:

"Malfurion says that he has misunderstood you and ignored your feelings, especially in the matter of resurrecting the demigod Agamagan of the wilderness, you have done something that the Night Elves have not been able to do for thousands of years, in fact, he admires your courage, and he hopes that there will be peaceful contact and coexistence between the Council of Cenarion and the Blightcallers... He invites you to travel to Mount Hyjal and the rest of the Blightcast Grand Druids after the war. ”

These words did not change the expression of the deer helmet, the great druid was still the same gentle appearance as before, after Santis finished speaking, the deer helmet picked up the cup full of tea, and after drinking the tea, he whispered:

"Malfurion is my mentor... I deserve to respect him, but, with all due respect, the doctrines of the Cenarion Council and the Blightburners are inherently conflicting, and with the Wilderness Demigods' expectations of resurrection, it's basically impossible for the two to coexist peacefully. ”

"You can understand what I mean, Santis, if the Council of Cenarion is still unable to make a choice, then we will have to bear the resurrection of the Wild Demigods, we have the ability, and what it means for the Wild Demigods to be included in the belief system of the Blightcallers, I'm sure you won't be unclear..."

The deer helmet closed his eyes and said:

"The Council of Cenarion is bound to be divided... This is a future that can be seen by any wise person, and I wonder how Malfurion will change this future, and whether Tyrande will be willing to support her husband's cause with the decline of her clan. ”

"Hehe, I'm curious."

These words made Shantis's gaze darken, but she didn't complain about the deer helmet like those junior druids, because she knew very well that the deer helmet was also doing the right thing, and since it was the right thing, why was she blamed and blamed?

"Well, I'll bring your words to Malfurion, and one more thing, my mother, Lady Tyrande, asked me to convey to you her opinion on the Battle of the Quicksands as I left, she thought that without the participation of the Night Elves, the chances of victory in the Battle of the Quicksands were slim, and she promised to send them to Silissus as soon as the War in the Ashendale had slowed down for a while..."

"Alright, Santis!"

Before General Hazuki could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the deer helmet, and the great druid looked at the general in front of him seriously, and said:

"Don't fool me with such words, Shantis, you are not a person who plays politics at all, even I can see the frustration in your eyes, don't try to hide from me what Tyrande really thinks, you and I both know what she is thinking..."

"Maybe she saw this future from the time when she leased the middle of the continent to the Human Empire to restore the country, Tyrande's calculation is too good, if the insects want to attack the Cadore group, they must first cross the border of goblins, humans and orcs, whether they want to or not, they must block the northbound insects!"

Deerhelm gave a mocking smile that made Santis fidget:

"Until the blood of humans, orcs and other civilizations is cleaned, the Zerg can't hurt the Night Elves, but the Night Elves can take the demonic invasion as the perfect reason not to fight, and when the anti-Zermen front and the Zermen are both defeated, the Night Elves will appear as saviors, sweeping through the already weakened Chira Worms with an intact army to save all of Kalimdor."

"In the victory of Kadore, the belief in the moon god will also spread to the hearts of other civilizations... You see, Shantis, I know what she does, that's what the religious leaders do, that's how humans spread the Light to centaurs, and I know what Tyrande wants... You don't have to hide anything for her. ”

Deer Helmet put down the teacup, and he coughed:

"She wants to protect her people, this is a decision that a good leader should make, I can understand, but I wonder if Kadore treats other civilizations on the same continent like this, so one day, when Kadore needs help, what do we do to ask other civilizations to lend a hand? You have been in the Hyjal Mountains for too long for you to see the changes in this world, it has become more dangerous than it was 10,000 years ago..."

"This is not the time of 10,000 years ago, and no matter how powerful the Night Elves are, they can't single out the invaders that are constantly emerging... Maybe that's a bit presumptuous, but I'll say anyway... Thinking about thousands of years ago, Tyrande didn't know how to lead our people, she thought that the leaders of other civilizations were stupid fools, however, the others were smarter, at least smarter than Tyrande thought. ”

"Nope! Deer Helmet! ”

Santis could not listen any longer, she stood up and said in a loud voice:

"Our army is indeed trapped in a confrontation with demons, I just returned from the Gray Valley, and I can see it clearly!"

"It's you who should shut up, Santis!"

Deer Helmet's tone became colder:

"You're a sentinel general, you've been through all the big wars, tell me honestly, from your point of view, with the two sentinels in the north and the south plus the power of the entire Cenarion Council, it's been almost 1 year, but you can't even kill a group of entrenched demons, is this normal? Do you really think I'm blind? ”

"So tell me now, Shantis, why the hell are you here?"

There was a hint of impatience in Deerhelm's voice, and Santis knew it was time for a showdown.

The Hazuki general sighed, she stood up, straightened her armor, and looked at the deer helmet:

"That's right, you have a point, Deer Helm, and I want to say that I share most of your thoughts, which is why I insisted on rushing here with the soldiers who stayed behind in the Hazuki Fortress..."

"I, Santis. Hazuki, on behalf of the Kadore civilization, I apply to join the Kalimdo anti-insect front! ”

Santis's request caused Deerhelm's eyes to narrow, and after a moment, the Grand Druid asked rhetorically:

"Are you sure you can represent Kadore? Are you sure you can represent your adoptive mother? ”

"If her weight isn't enough, the deer helmet... And what about plus me? ”

Another hoarse voice sounded behind the deer helmet, and the archdruid turned his head to look at the slender figure that came out of the shadows, and a smile appeared on his lips:

"Welcome, Lady Mawi."

"Of course... The two of them can certainly represent Cadore... Welcome to this war! ”
