Chapter 139: The Great War is Imminent
With the Floating City, apart from the Warlocks, Red Dragons, and Divine Sacrifices, Patrick is not at all afraid of the alliance of orcs and trolls, and only needs to see how the council authorities react.
If they are still so complacent and arrogant, Patrick will not bother to care about them, in the future, although more than ten years is a quarter of life for human beings, but for Patrick, who now has elf skin, more than ten years, short as a month or two, lingering.
In the hearts of the council elders, Patrick didn't bother to guess, the big war was imminent, and distracting other things would not be good for future development.
After the battle report was forwarded, the king's direct approval of the army to stand by and observe the follow-up of the trolls, but the council did not do much, and directly agreed to transfer the armaments, and some of the military supplies were directly transported to the floating city through the teleportation room, and replied that the follow-up of the trolls would be made corresponding arrangements like King Anastarian.
This is a bit different from the several big families that Patrick knows, such an abnormal behavior is really incomprehensible, all the materials are operated and deployed, the parliamentarians did not interfere too much, although every elf is mortal enemies with the trolls, but if they don't do something secretly, how can they be like the style of those old foxes sent by the council.
However, the old man Boulder Windranger said directly: "It is also possible for the council to do this, and those old councillors of the council will not do anything when it comes to dealing with trolls. β
Patrick was puzzled: "Why is my father-in-law so determined?" Is there any connection between the two? β
"Haha......!" The old father-in-law smiled, and his mental state was very good: "You are the youngest outstanding elf in the Kingdom of Quel'Salas for thousands of years, and you have been in the council seat before you have reached the age of a thousand years, which is unprecedented. But after all, you are still young, and you have not participated in the bloody war between the kingdom and the forest trolls back then, and now those councillors and councillors, which one of them did not crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood of the troll war? We are indefatigable for our hatred of trolls, and for trolls with feuds, our entire Silvermoon Council has always been unanimous. β
There is a delicate wrinkle on the old father-in-law's face, although he only looks like a middle-aged man, but Patrick can still feel the cold air when he speaks, especially when talking about trolls, the old father-in-law's hatred, that kind of gnashing of teeth, can be directly reflected.
"......," Patrick understood.
It is true that he has not participated in the bloody war against trolls in the early stage of the kingdom, and those elves who have come from the troll war to the present are all at the top of the elven society without exception.
The simplest and most straightforward example is the Windranger family. The Windranger family is not a spellcaster family, but a family heirloom ranger ability shocks the entire Quel'Thalas, and the troll is the real one who has a practical experience of the lethality of the ranger profession.
The original Windranger family was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Ranger Force at the beginning of the founding of Quel'Salas, and began to clean up the trolls, and then the troll war lasted for thousands of years, until the alliance of humans and the High Elves completely defeated the Amani Empire of the forest trolls, and since then the forest trolls have collapsed, and the entire Amani trolls began to split into several tribes.
Later, the elders who fought the trolls in the first place passed away, and their successors continued to purge the trolls, now the council faction, and now Aurelia's father, Boulder Windranger, was also one of the leaders who led the rangers in their battle against the trolls.
Including Jayne Rini, SeΓ±or, and Oaks, they all came to this position from the bloody battle of the trolls. So, even though the Windranger family doesn't have a strong spellcaster, the Windranger family still has a seat in the council, and no one can shake it.
"Perhaps, I really think too much?" Patrick thought to himself. "Maybe the council isn't doing anything superfluous this time."
Patrick shook his head, driving the superfluous thoughts out of his mind, the great enemy is now, if those council members secretly do something, it is not too late to settle accounts with them in the future, Patrick has now reached the ninth order, it will be a surprise to the councillors.
"Your Excellency, our rangers have noticed a movement in the southwest peak, and a large number of unidentified creatures are approaching the land of ghosts, according to the scouts on patrol on the front line, this creature has never been seen, unlike humans and elves, they have green skin, and troll-like fangs, they are menacing, ask for your instructions."
"Lord Director, the troll army is beginning to attack us in the east, although the front line has been prepared, but it is still outnumbered, the troll army is numerous, please ask for your instructions."
β¦β¦
Patrick was still thinking about how to deal with the relationship with the council in the future, and when he heard the following urgent report, Patrick's heart tightened: "It's coming, the tide of darkness is coming." β
"Pass my order, let all the elves who are outside return to the Floating City for refuge. The land outside was all abandoned, and before the matter was clarified, all the living forces were retained, and all the troops were put on standby, whether they were rangers, mages, or other classes, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness and prepared for battle, and the entire floating city stopped celebrating and began to enter a defensive state. β
Patrick called out to his close ministers, "Idonis." β
Idonis, who had been waiting for a long time next to him, instantly arrived: "The subordinate is here." β
"Let the mages of the Tower of the Sun activate the defensive barriers of the entire floating city, and check the operation of the magic circle, and all the extra mages will be on standby at the front line."
"Obey the command." Idonis retired.
Patrick: "I have a bad feeling that trolls might have something to do with the creatures that suddenly appeared in the southwest. β
Aurelia could see it, but she was also worried about the green-skinned creatures with fangs: "There's a floating city, trolls are definitely not a threat, our focus should be southwest." β
The order has been given, and the scene of celebration in the entire floating city has come to an abrupt end, and the elves celebrating in the streets have heard that the trolls are coming, and they have begun to take out their swords, axes and bows, and the two members of the Standing Committee of the Tower of Daylight, Itonis and Garinde-Charon, representing the supreme leaders of the mage army and the ranger force respectively, have also gone out to reorganize their troops and prepare to fight against the strong enemy.
And the municipal department led by Quirintis began to activate the teleportation circle with all its might, rescuing the retreating elves outside to the floating city, and several teleportation circles in the city of sunlight were surrounded by mages and vigilant troops to ensure maximum safety, and at the same time, it could also speed up the rescue time.
Yanida manages the power supply of the Floating City in the Mage Tower, as well as the detection of defensive barriers, the Floating City is the foundation of all the elves here, and Candires is responsible for the distribution of military supplies, as well as various spell-casting materials and medical supplies.
The Great War is imminent, and all the elves need to be in place.
