Menethil's Power

Chapter 54
"Holy light will be dirty... Oh no, bless you." Isaacs said.

Suddenly, a strange voice came from not far away.Because the cemetery was silent at this time, everyone was talking softly, so the voice seemed quite harsh. "Sorry to interrupt, everyone. With all due respect, this ceremony is a bit too grand for a butler."

Isaacs followed his reputation to the new visitor.This is a standard blood elf nobleman, with narrow eyes and a small beard on his smooth chin, making him look very shrewd.Isaacs could feel the surging magic power on his body. This elf nobleman turned out to be a hero-level mage.

Behind the elf mage were two soldiers. They were wearing golden and red battle armor, holding a kite-shaped shield that was also red and a strange war blade that seemed to be spliced ​​together from two one-handed swords. They exuded an obscure aura. .These are two lawbreakers. Their superb combat skills and excellent magic resistance make them a nightmare for all legal professions.

Isaacs was a little surprised. The status of the Spellbreaker troops in Quel'Thalas was equivalent to Lordaeron's royal guards. Their daily duties were to guard the Sunstrider Royal Court and the Sunwell Highlands. Their appearance obviously meant that this mage was honorable and Have a special mission.

However, Fengxing didn't seem to welcome this uninvited guest, "Please leave, Dar'Khan! Hypocrites like you are not welcome here!" Alleria almost growled, her tone full of respect for the mage. contempt and disgust.

Cirvanas' reaction was even more straightforward. The Ranger General, who never liked to talk nonsense, directly drew his weapon. The bright silver blade reflected light, obviously its owner was not joking.

Darkan's face remained unchanged, and he still maintained that eccentric tone, "I am here on behalf of the Silver Moon Council, and any threats or intimidation against me will be regarded as a provocation to the Council." He glanced coldly at the spontaneous gathering The members of the Fengxing family who came over deliberately amplified the volume, "I announce in the name of this council that Alleria Windrunner and Sylvanas Windrunner will be deprived of their military posts on charges of desertion."

There was an uproar. All the elves present knew that most of the power of the Fengxing family lay in the influence of the two sisters on the military. They all looked at Alleria and Cirvanas with shocked eyes, not understanding what they were doing. what.

Even though she had been mentally prepared from the moment she mobilized the Silvermoon City's garrison without authorization, Alleria still felt the urge to punch Dar'Khan.She tried her best to suppress her anger, and said in a calm tone: "All the responsibilities are borne by me alone. I forged the council's order, and Cirvanas didn't know about it."

Darkan was unmoved, "You'd better go and state your crimes to the council and accept the sentence, I'm just in charge of announcing the decision." He took out another scroll and read the contents aloud, "In the name of the Sun King Anas In the name of Tarion, the Windrunner family handed over the important prisoner Zul'jin to the high lord Dar'Khan."

This is a reasonable request, and the emblem of the Sunstrider on the parchment is real. Alleria knows that the feat of capturing Zul'jin is very important, especially when both sisters are forced to resign. Erjin handed Darkan this merit will be erased.But as a ranger who swore allegiance to the court of the Sunstrider, she still could not refuse this order.

Alleria looked at Isaacs with pleading eyes, and she put in a lot of effort to capture Zul'jin boy, even with a whole body of cultivation.She had to seek his opinion for all reasons.

Isaacs smiled and nodded to Alleria. He had no objection to Zul'jin's ownership. Since he had already decided not to kill him, it was almost inevitable for Zul'jin to escape according to his troll-like traits.From this point of view, it is also a good thing that the Fengxing family can be exempted from this crime.

Alleria, who was affirmed by Isaacs, breathed a sigh of relief, and her gratitude to him couldn't help but grow stronger.The Windrunner family, which started out with military exploits, has always been at odds with those old elf nobles. It can be seen from the fact that the family is not located in Silvermoon City that they have been isolated all the time. Therefore, Alleria never showed contempt for humans. Happy to have an ally like Lordaeron.

"Obey His Majesty's orders," she said.Darkan was a little surprised by her cooperation, but returned to normal almost instantly. "One last thing, which one is Valeera Sagunar?"

Without answering, Darkan's gloomy gaze flicked across blank faces, and finally stopped in an empty space, with a vague sneer on the corner of his mouth, "It's not polite to hide and seek How to meet, Ms. Valeera."

A translucent figure suddenly appeared in the empty place, which was obviously Valeera.The elf female thief who realized that she had been spotted ran away immediately, but almost instantly two spellbreakers in solid armor stood in front of Valeera. Although they only had lord-level strength, they were enchanted. The armor made Valeera feel very troublesome. Compared with this kind of tin cans, stalkers prefer to deal with cloth armored legal professions.

Valeera didn't want to get entangled with them, and directly used the shadow step to appear behind them, but just as she emerged, a cage made of arcane energy instantly imprisoned her.The elf female thief immediately activated the Shadow Cloak, but this is a heroic spell after all, so there was inevitably a slight stagnation.The two spellbreakers immediately seized the opportunity, and put their sharp war blades directly on Valeera's slender neck.

Cirvanas, who hadn't put away her weapon, of course wouldn't just stand by, she shot almost at the same time.Before Dar'Khan, who had just released the arcane cage, could react, Sylvanas was close in front of him, and the dagger unceremoniously pressed against the mage's throat.

"Valeera is my subordinate. Her contribution in this war is enough to offset any charges. You cannot take her away." The female elf said coldly.

Darkan didn't reply to Cirvanas' words, he didn't seem to feel the chill on his neck, and he still looked confident. "Valeera Sagunar, you are facing dozens of charges including theft, fraud, forgery, etc. I am hereby arresting you in the name of Parliament, you can remain silent, but everything you say will be brought to court Evidence."

After righteously saying these words, Darkan looked at Cirvanas with pity, "I must remind you that you are no longer a Ranger General. A civilian attacked a councilor. Do you think this What kind of crime will it be?"

Cirvanas remained silent, but his right hand holding the dagger was still very steady.The situation reached a stalemate for a moment, everyone subconsciously slowed down their breathing, Cirvanas and Darkan looked at each other silently, neither side was willing to give in.

Suddenly a voice broke the silence.It was Isaacs, "Member Darkan, I'm afraid you can't take Ms. Valeera away, because she is working for me now." The boy said with a smile.

Darkan turned his gaze to the boy, showing a faint look of contempt, "You are?"

"Isaacs Menethil, Crown Prince of Lordaeron. I have recruited Valeera to be my personal security advisor. She is now under the protection of the royal family of Lordaeron." The boy said neither humble nor overbearing.

"I think you must have misunderstood something. According to your human diplomatic laws, since Valeera committed a crime within the territory of Quel'Thalas, she should accept the trial of Quel'Thalas." Darkan snorted contemptuously , unceremoniously pointed out the loopholes of Isaacs, who can become a councilor, of course he will not be an ignorant idiot.

"This decree does not apply to the royal family." Isaacs said almost rascally, fully showing the ugly face of the privileged, "You can send envoys to Lordaeron to negotiate, but if you take my advisor away in person , I would regard this as an insult to the dignity of Lordaeron."

Dar'Khan fell silent, and after weighing it for a while, he gestured to the two lawbreakers, and Valeera was free again.This was a signal for a truce, so Cirvanas withdrew her short sword.

The gloomy elf mage took a deep look at Isaacs, "Take me to the place where the troll is being held." He said, looking like he didn't want to delay any more, and hurriedly followed Aurelia. The robe brought a gust of wind.

"He left so easily?" Lilas couldn't believe it.

"It's normal. The main purpose of his trip has been accomplished, so it's not unacceptable to make a little concession on Valeera." Isaacs replied, as if he didn't feel Valeera's eyes behind him.

The arrival of Dar'Khan also allowed Isaacs to see a part of the political situation in Quel'Thalas. The Silvermoon Council is using a strict legal system to sway the power of the Sunstrider royal family step by step, and the royal family's response is to foster a new A batch of military nobles confronted it.Therefore, among them, the Windrunner family who performed well became the biggest obstacle to the council, and those veteran nobles never gave up the idea of ​​pulling out this thorn in their side.They should have succeeded this time.

But the essential purpose of these nobles is still to seize more power and wealth to satisfy their own selfish desires.So this so-called parliamentary system is not an improvement, but also makes the politics of Quel'Thalas into chaos.In the original timeline, the Scourge easily broke through Silvermoon City, and the Silvermoon Council was almost wiped out. After that, the remaining blood elves exploded with strength not much weaker than that of Quel'Thalas in its heyday. It has to be said that it is a great irony.

Therefore, Isaacs couldn't help sighing, "7000 years have caused this glorious kingdom to gradually decay. Even if there is no external catastrophic invasion, she will collapse one day in the future. As for whether it will be destroyed directly or reborn from the ashes, Then only Aman'Thul will know."

He suddenly patted Lilas on the shoulder, who was still in a daze, "Struggle! Work hard! Maybe you will be the next King of Wind!"
