Chapter 1503: The Sun King Who Took a Risk
The island of Queldanus, where the Sunwell is located, was once the absolute powerhouse of the High Elves, but now it looks rather bleak.
This is also something that cannot be helped, when the royal family of the Sunstrider, who represents the supremacy of magic, and the Silvermoon Council have fallen, it is now the Ranger faction that is in power.
Whether it's Sylvanas as the queen, the other three Windranger sisters, or Lotherma and Haduron, they're all rangers.
Although the Ranger Sect will not suppress the Magic Sect, it will not be possible to deformously respect mages as they did in the previous Quel'Salas era, and tilt all their resources towards mages.
As a result, all the factions were happy, and they resented the mage faction.
But what can be done then? Now there are no more powerful people in the country, and it is difficult to find even a bright moon.
When the news came that the Allies had won a complete victory in the Outlands and that the former Prince of Kael'thas had been promoted to the Dawn Rank, the magic faction in Sindore's country was simply jubilant, and they demanded the return of His Royal Highness.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that anyone can return, but the Wang family, who is chasing the sun, cannot. Otherwise where would this put Queen Sylvanas?
Kael'thas was also sensible, and openly stated: "I am guilty! If such a serious crime as betrayal of the country can be easily forgiven, then anyone can commit treason." If my country needs it, I will rush back as soon as possible to help in the war, but I will never return to Sindore. This has nothing to do with His Majesty the Windrunner, it is purely my personal atonement. ”
Instead of returning, Kael'thas chose to re-enter the Kenrito Council in Dalaran. With the support of Duke and Gianna, he was successfully elected Speaker by unanimous vote. Duke and Gianna, as well as Ronin, who is still missing, are appointed councillors and maintain their influence in Dalaran.
Aside from the disappointment of Sindore's mage faction, it can be said that this is the best result for all.
On May 10, a mysterious figure came unexpectedly.
His presence, his typical clothes and staff, evoked the dusty memories of many mages. After a slight hesitation, countless mages who should have been on duty knelt down on one knee.
"My King's ......"
One, two...... Ten...... A hundred, and as the entire Sunwell garrison fell to his knees before the mysterious man, he spread his arms—a pair of withered arms that had lost all their water.
When his hood was blown off by the wind, a wrinkled face was revealed, and a pair of soul fires from the Netherworld that had replaced his eyes.
Right!
He was the former Sun King Anastrian* Sunchaser.
"O my subjects! I—Anastrian is back!" the Sun King roared in the sky.
In response to him, there was a cheer like a tsunami mountain!
"Long live my king!"
After appeasing the Blood Elves who had regained their allegiance to him, nay, the High Elves now, the Sun King descended to a secret chamber and bowed to the two mysterious men wrapped in cloaks.
"My subjects remain loyal, and the sunwell remains under my control. Now, will the Legion accept my terms?"
"Giggle!" it was a crisp, seductive laugh.
If the Sun King wasn't a salted fish-like forgotten person, maybe even if he was still that thousand-year-old old man, he would still be in a state of flux.
The two mysterious men took off their hoods, and they were—the Ereda Twins.
High Warlock Oresses smirked, "Lord Kil'Gardan will not forget your contributions. ”
Queen Salorath said, "He never spares in rewarding the strong who are loyal to the legion. ”
"As long as Lord Kilgardan succeeds in descending with the power of the sunwell. ”
"He can promise on behalf of the Legion not to destroy Azeroth completely. Once you've got what the Legion wants, you'll be the King of Azeroth. ”
"If there is no problem......
"Then sign this soul contract in triplicate!"
"One for you, one for us to take back to the Warped Void for archiving, and one for Lord Kilgardan to look at. ”
"Sign it, you are a member of the glorious Burning Legion, and your lord promises to give you the treatment of a mid-level Void Lord directly. ”
The voice of the twins is full of seduction, and most importantly, it is still the will of the Sun King himself.
After a little hesitation, he gritted his toothpick, and the big characters of "Boom" were left on the three soul contracts, which also symbolized the sinking of his soul. He could clearly feel that with the signing of his name, a part of his soul was forcibly cut off and flew into the distant void, becoming Kil'Gardan's biggest bargaining chip to control him.
That's the price!
Anastrian's betrayal was both accidental and inevitable.
Very different from the forgotten in history. Originally, in history, Queen Xi was the boss, and she also turned Lordaeron City into a dark city. Except for one Gilneth and Eagle's Nest Mountain, there is no longer any alliance country in the standard sense of the word.
Because of the provocation of the Gugar and the escalation of various conflicts, the alliance and the tribe joined hands more because of the situation than because they worked so closely together as in this life.
In the midst of constant local and large-scale conflicts, the Forsaken, who were already at odds with the Alliance, were able to kill large numbers of humans and replenish their troops.
The forgotten in this life are miserable.
The Sun King disobeyed the Lich King's control and became independent, but was soon defeated by the Coalition army gathered by Duke. The Undercity was destroyed before it was officially established. He was driven across the sea and hid in the Valley of Wintersprings.
Winterspring Valley isn't a good place either.
A large number of blue dragons there, as well as the two-headed Chimera, are extremely fierce guys.
finally took refuge in the tribe, originally wanted to use the banner of the tribe to balance the alliance, but who knew that under the suppression of Duke, the tribe was simply the same existence as a little brother. Thrall, on the other hand, sees him and his Silvermoon Council more as thugs.
Most disturbingly, he used it as a stepping stone to the Horde - the resurrected Orgrim was literally a new hill in the Forsaken, pulling away all the orc-born Death Knights and warriors, and rallying more closely around the Orcs than at his behest as the King of the Forsaken.
The Horde has made an alliance with the Alliance, and the Forsaken have no supply of soldiers. The corpses of the alliance soldiers are not transformed, and there is no one in the tribe except orcs to bird him the sun king. Even if the orcs become death knights or warriors, they still don't listen to him.
In fact, the entire Forsaken race has been driven to a dead end.
After fighting Silisus, and then fighting the Outlands, in addition to getting a bunch of equipment that is not Tai Chi grade, the loss of manpower is the most heart-wrenching thing for the Sun King. The Silvermoon Council, which had been the Forsaken with him, had already existed in name only, and there were only three or two kittens left.
If the arrogant Sun King wants to regain his strength and become a hegemon, he really can't think of any good way.
In desperation, he thought of the Burning Legion.
