Aren't you high elves very awesome?
Aren't you elves aloof and cool, with an air of being the best in the world and everyone owes you money?
For Alleria's sake, I came all the way here, but you left me outside the border to eat dust. This feels so good.
He spoke but didn't listen.
I listened but didn't understand.
Understand but don't do it.
We sent you reinforcements but you didn't use them and instead used your precious manpower to deliver food.
Are you, the Sun King and the Silver Moon Council, asking for trouble?
As a time traveler, Duke didn't have such a strong hatred towards the high elves before. But when Duke truly experienced the high elves' arrogant and domineering temper, Duke just said one sentence - I won't serve you anymore.
Now Duke said "I'm busy", which immediately pissed off the elves. I finally condescended to treat you with the highest treatment, and you said you're busy? !
This time, even Prince Kael'thas' eyelids twitched a few times.
If it comes to showing off, Duke has undoubtedly gone too far.
Duke certainly wouldn't be that stupid, and his reasons were even more plausible.
In the communication mirror, Duke looked very regretful: "I'm sorry! I was originally planning to help you deal with the main force of the Horde Chieftain first, but I saw that you didn't need support in Quel'Thalas. His Majesty Menethil urged me more than a dozen times to help deal with the Horde detachment that was causing damage near Strathholme. So I transferred the 30,000-man army."
After saying this, Duke turned the camera to show the fierce fighting scene all over the mountains.
It would not be correct to call it a fierce battle. The elves noticed that humans had gained an absolute advantage. The human soldiers divided, surrounded and annihilated the Horde in an orderly manner.
Considering Duke's position as the deputy commander of the Alliance, it is totally understandable that he gave priority to dealing with the Hordes in the territories of the Alliance countries. Who told you high elves not to join the Alliance?
At this moment, all the congressmen regretted their actions so much that their intestines turned green. Countless resentful eyes were cast towards the Silver Moon congressman Dar'khan who had shown disrespect to the eight nations of the alliance.
Everyone knows that Duke is looking for trouble now.
Forcing the high elves to choose between face and substance.
In fact, there is not much to choose from.
Morality is something that, once lost once, is very easy to lose again.
2,800 years ago, the elves turned to humans for help and had to teach them magic in exchange for human support.
2,800 years later, the elves simply lost their moral integrity once again.
Now that the Silver Moon Council has surrendered, and the Sun King is in urgent need of manpower when facing a powerful enemy, he will not kill all of them. Even if they are the worst political enemies, their strength as great wizards can still come in handy when the enemy is at the gates.
The Sun King winked at his son.
Kael'thas immediately stepped forward and said, "Duke, the high elves need your help. Could you please come to Silvermoon City as soon as possible?"
When Kael'thas said this, he was looking at Alleria, who was standing at the end of the hall. The eyes of this gentle and elegant prince were full of pleading.
He's going to play the emotional card.
If it was someone else, Alleria would definitely not care.
When Alleria handed the mage apprentice codex belonging to Kael'thas to Duke, she was sentenced to three months in prison. It was also thanks to Kael'thas's plea for mercy. Otherwise, given the political influence of the Windrunner family, she would have been sentenced to one year in prison at the lightest and three years at the worst.
Alleria's mouth moved slightly, and a breeze quietly drifted to Ilucia's ears. Ilucia immediately understood, and she didn't do anything, but let the camera shoot towards Alleria.
Duke understood immediately.
"Well, I will come over as soon as I can after I have dealt with the leader of this detachment."
Well, when Duke said this, the head of General Noggar, the leader of this tribal detachment, was placed next to Duke.
According to the original historical trajectory, if Nog'gar had been allowed to continue growing, perhaps Nog'gar would have become a famous tribal hero.
Unfortunately, he met Duke.
After learning that the Hinterlands extermination war was over, Duke immediately left an empty camp with less than 300 people outside the elf border. The main force turned around and joined up with Seamus's detachment.
Kurdran Wildhammer was quite considerate. After the ultimate showdown at the wine table, Kurdran personally brought an entire Order of the Griffin Knights.
The Air Force's regimental organization seems to be smaller in terms of numbers, with only one thousand cavalry.
However, considering the terrifying combat power of an adult griffin, which can easily take care of twenty of your infantrymen without taking a breath, a group of Griffin Knights is actually no less powerful than 50,000 people!
In addition, Kurdran also provided support for a 3,000-man Aerie Peak Heavy Infantry Regiment.
This time, it is no exaggeration to say that Kurdran has emptied out all his resources.
With so many flying in the sky and blocking the ground, the demise of this dwarf army was not surprising.
Moreover, Duke, who knew that Nogg'gar was very powerful, directly started a fight and killed this Horde quasi-hero. Gavinrad, Reginald, Kurdran and Duke, four masters, all came together, no matter how powerful Nogg'gar was, he could only be frustrated to death.
In fact, Duke cheated during the magic communication. The battle backgrounds that the elves saw were actually videos recorded by Duke. The 60,000-strong army had already been deployed outside the borders of the elves.
Hearing Duke's agreement, the elves finally put down their worries.
That night, the elves held a state banquet to entertain Ilucia and... the four Windrunner sisters. If the Sun King's reward to Alleria and the other sisters was normal, the parliamentary faction was a blatant bribe.
There were four mansions in Far Traveler Square, five large ocean-going merchant ships, and dozens of longbows of epic quality...
However, the more the parliamentary faction smiled, the colder Alleria's heart became.
"Is this the high-ranking elf who controls the life and death of hundreds of thousands of elves?"
Compared to Ilucia's proper response, the four Windrunner sisters were like four pieces of wood, just sitting there to accompany them.
Anyway, after some preliminary exchange of conditions, Ilucia finally promised to contact the master again later. As expected, Duke came the next morning to give a positive response.
June 18, 2nd year of the Dark Gate, this is a very special day for the high elves.
When a hundred thousand brutal tribesmen were at the gates of the city, Silvermoon City welcomed the arrival of a human hero, Edmund Duke, with the supreme "Sun-chasing Ceremony".
During the six thousand years since Silvermoon City was founded, only two heroes have received such a grand reception: the first and second kings of the Sunstrider royal family.
In the minds of the extremely proud elves, the one who was expected to be the third to enjoy the glory of the "Gift of the Sun" should have been Prince Kael'thas, who was highly expected by all the elves.
