Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1437 70. Azshara is really serious, you can't be saved and wait to die

Just as the Naglfar set sail from Zandalar with a full harvest, sailing all the way across the endless sea to Northrend, in the Nightborne territory in the Broken Isles, all kinds of bad The news is being gathered to the desk of the great magister Elisande.

   Well, we can't call people "Great Magister" anymore.

   That is the name of a bygone era, that is the past that must be turned over, and now it is necessary to respect and respectfully address Ms. Elisande as Her Majesty the "Queen of the Nightborn".

   She had completed the coronation ceremony more than two months ago.

  Although she is a little arrogant and does have the meaning of arrogance, she still chooses to realize her ambition in this era.

   It turns out that Elisande did choose a perfect timing, and after she became king, she was not attacked by various forces, especially the deep sea empire she was most worried about.

   Queen Azshara seems to have never heard of this news.

   This made Elisande feel fortunate, but he did not give up preparing for the eventual outbreak of this incident.

   As a high-ranking spellcaster who served the Queen for thousands of years, Elisander knew the character of Queen Azshara better than anyone in this world at this time.

  Because of understanding, she was sure from the beginning that the queen would not forgive her arrogance so easily.

  For example, now, bad news has been collected to let Elisande know, and Queen Azshara, who didn't know what she was doing before, finally got her hands on it.

The    Queen and her Naga Empire are going to teach her a lesson together.

   "Three large Naga clans from the waters around the Broken Isles are heading towards Suramar, and the war mistress Sasslyn, who was originally stationed at Sargeras' Tomb, and her powerful clan have also been dispatched.

   The sea giants of Azsuna are marching along the coast to our city.

  According to the news sent by our envoys in the Eastern Continent, the Naga settlements along the entire Eastern Continent coast disappeared almost overnight.”

  In Elisande's meditation room, the second person in Suramar City, the stargazer Aitaus shook his long hair in a single ponytail, checking and clearing the information at hand one by one.

  These bad news made the big astrologer frown, and he made his own judgment very easily.

   He glanced at the back of the desk, levitating in the air while thinking with his eyes closed, and said:

   "There is no doubt that the Queen is mobilizing her imperial army, and the number of deep sea creatures that may attack us in the first wave alone has reached an astonishing one hundred thousand or more.

With the speed of the Naga in the deep sea, coupled with the teleportation tactics of the casters that Nazjatar absolutely does not lack, according to my most pessimistic guess, after the war starts for at most a week, the enemy Suramar will face will be It will exceed 500,000.

  If we are lucky enough to hold out until a month later, we may have to face an army of more than two million deep sea empires.

   It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the destruction of Suramar will be irresistible, and now, that bad result is getting closer and closer to us.

   And it's all because of you!

  I told you before, Elisande.

   It's a bad idea to be crowned without permission, not to mention, you don't have royal blood!

   This is a terrible overreach.

  We are different from those savage beings, we are elves!

  Elves have their own set of laws, and even though the person who formulated this set of laws lives in the deep sea, her eyes can still fall on every elf who does not obey her will.

   What the Queen hated most in the past was the kaldorei who overthrew the empire's rule. Now, with a silly ritual and a meaningless title, you've managed to attract firepower to the night elves.

   I really want to ask you, what benefit did Tyrande Windspeaker give you?

   allows you to do such a stupid thing! "

   "I have explained to you several times why Her Majesty must be crowned, Her Majesty the Astrologer."

   Facing the accusations of the great astrologist, Elisande chose to remain silent.

   She seemed disdainful to explain this simple question, and the former political adviser standing beside the Grand Magister, the current Home Secretary Lilith Moonshire coughed.

  The politician from a noble family patiently explained to the arrogant astrologer for his queen:

   "Times are changing, Lord Atraeus.

  In this day and age, the elven factions that have formed the empire with us in the past are independent powers, and if we still claim to be subjects of the elven empire, we will never be able to make any agreement with our brethren.

   We must make this choice!

  We must show our attitude to our fellow citizens by making a clean break with Azshara's era! "

  Lilith held the document in her arms and said in a deep voice:

"You have also seen with your own eyes, on the Queen's Coronation Day, the kaldorei, the quel'dorei, the twisted Fal'dorei who chose to follow the pirates, and even the strange salain who returned from the dead, All sent envoys to attend the coronation ceremony.

   Her Majesty the Queen broke the isolation of the Shaldorei with a single ceremony!

   His Majesty Elisande has shown our will to the other elven factions, that the Shaldorei no longer belong to the past, we embrace the future, and now they are all willing to negotiate with us to resolve diplomatic issues.

   The results we have achieved in the past month are many times more than the efforts of this year!

   We will have allies.

   We will rise again as an independent attitude.

   This is a very correct choice, great astrologer, you should not fail to understand this move.

   Again, there is no point in dwelling on the past.

   What matters is the moment! "

   "Yes, Lilith is so right."

  The Queen of the Nightborn also opened her eyes in the next instant and looked at Aitaus, she sighed and said:

   "Alas, my Aetaus, if your political consciousness were one-tenth of your magical attainments, then my Home Secretary would not have to explain to you the reasons for my actions again and again.

   It turns out I was right, so don't bother with that anymore.

   Now the most important thing is to deal with the Queen's crusade. We must survive this battle. If we can gain the advantage of the battlefield, we can negotiate with the Queen.

  I have sent invitations to the kaldorei, and as thorns in the eyes of Queen Azshara, those wild elves who live in trees and eat wild fruits have enough reasons to stand with us.

   We should be able to get help from the druids of Val'sharah, but that's not enough.

   We also need more allies to fight with us. "

   "You mean, Quel'dorei?"

   Great Astromancer Aetaus is not stupid.

   He quickly tasted Elisande's words, but the great astrologer didn't think Elisande's idea could be realized so easily.

He says:

   "The Quel'dorei elves have always embraced the inheritance of magic, and they have also inherited the various rules of the elf empire, and have always regarded themselves as 'imperial orthodoxy'.

  Although they also have their own Sun Kings, I don't think those white-skinned elves can be trusted! They are between Azshara and us, maybe more towards Azshara. "

   "Indeed, especially those Quel'dorei mages."

  The Queen of the Nightborne sighed.

   She played with her Nightborn scepter and said in a regretful and sarcastic tone:

   "The more people who lack something, the more they like to show something. Those Quel'dorei spellcasters use all kinds of fancy clothes and etiquette to set off their so-called "noble".

   But in the eyes of those of us who have really lived through the Age of Empires, those pathetic white-skinned people are just as ridiculous as monkeys with crowns! They are all from mud legs, how do they know how to use the real imperial etiquette?

  Those idiots have an unspeakable desire to worship and follow Queen Azshara. Once the Queen calls them, maybe many idiots will choose to join the Queen.

   For those who lack background, clinging to the orthodox can always bring more satisfaction to their barren soul. "

  The conversation between the queen and the great astrologer was full of "elf discrimination", which made the Minister of the Interior Lilith Moonshire, who was in the audience, a little disapproving.

  Although on the surface she is Queen Elisande's most loyal, capable and favored court minister, who can help the queen handle all troublesome government affairs.

   But in her heart, Ms. Moonshire still felt "confused" about some of Elisande's remarks.

   For example, now she is sneering at the origin of the Quel'dorei elves.

  For ordinary people, Elisande should be a big man in the Elf Empire, but for the Moon County family who mastered many secrets of the past, Elisande’s experience in the Elf Empire can’t be hidden from them.

Although the    Grand Magister was trusted by Queen Azshara for a period of time, Elisande's own background was not noble.

   Where did she get the confidence to criticize the dynasty established by the Sunstrider family, who came from the top nobles of the empire?

   Moreover, as the fiancée who had already concluded a secret engagement with Lilith Windrunner, Lilith Moonshire also instinctively wanted to protect her fiancé family.

  Although her background is more prominent than Elisande, thanks to her father's excellent tutoring, Lilith does not think that Shaldorei is really superior to other elves.

   Elisande may be a very good politician and a very powerful spellcaster, but her vision and bearing are a little worse after all.

   She knew that she needed assistance from other elf factions, but she still spoke so much to her potential allies. What if she was heard by someone with a heart?

  As a leader, she was so inattentive to her speech that if something went wrong, it would instantly trigger an unquenchable diplomatic turmoil.

   Lilith shook her head.

   Although she was disappointed with her queen in her heart, she still expressed her approval on the surface.

   In the silence after the conversation between Elisande and Etraus, Lilith looked left and right, and suddenly lowered her voice and said:

   "If Quel'dorei is not to be trusted, then we might as well destroy Quel'Thalas before Queen Azshara can attack us, and bring those white-skinned elves under our rule!"

   "Huh? Are you crazy?"

  The great astrologer was amused by Lilith's suggestion, the always high caster shook his head and said sarcastically:

   "So, as the Queen's Home Secretary, your way of facing the threat of a war is to start two wars at the same time? You are such a clever little devil.

   It seems that there is no war gene in the ancient blood of the Yuejun family. "

  Lilith did not refute the sarcasm.

   She just silently put the information she collected in front of the Queen.

   Elisander didn't intend to pay attention to this bizarre suggestion, but when she saw the small number of words in front of her, her expression changed subtly.

   That was a piece of information about the North Sea.

  The fleet of the Human Alliance has been attacking the undead pirates in the Frozen Sea recently. The news has spread all over the world, and the Nightborne naturally know it.

   But they don't care about human dog bite dog, anyway, the Frozen Sea has never been the sphere of influence of the Nightborne.

   But now this news was specially brought out by Lilith, apparently representing some idea of ​​the Home Secretary, Elisander glanced at her and said:

   "If I remember correctly, your sister who ran away from home was the captain of the undead pirates?"

   "Well, my unsatisfactory sister is now the pirate king of the elf pirate faction under Blake Shaw, although in my opinion, she lacks all abilities."

   Lilith said with a sarcastic tone:

"It was indeed the right choice for my father to pass on the position of the head of the family to me, look at Anaris's life plan, elf pirate, my God, this is the worst choice an elf can choose I've ever heard of. Profession.

   But luckily, she and her leader are just right now to solve our problem.

  My Majesty, the white-skinned elves of Quel'Thalas foolishly participated in the strangulation of the North Sea pirates, and the whole world already knows how vengeful Black Shaw is.

   He has enough reason to attack Quel'Thalas's domain, and he has enough power to destroy the troublesome Reno Bandir enchantment.

  I mean, Your Majesty, although I despise my renegade sister, this time, we and the undead fleet have a rare common interest.

   They are at your disposal as your sword to conquer Quel'Thalas!

   Most importantly, we already have the Nightwell.

  If we get the magic of the Sunwell again, the two magic wells will charge you at the same time, plus the power of the Eye of Aman'Thul and the Scepter of Sargeras."

   The Home Secretary paused, and she glanced at Elisande's expression.

  The Queen of the Night Child had a wonderful expression at this time, she seemed to see the future described by Lilith.

   She was a little excited, looking forward to it, and said with some trepidation:

   "The simultaneous charging of the two magic wells and the simultaneous manipulation of the two artifacts are enough to allow me to control the power of time and space, allowing me to have confrontation, and even

   Defeat and surpass the power of Queen Azshara!

Yes!

   We should fight Quel'Thalas.

   But our goal this time is not to defeat the Sun Dynasty, it will take a long time to do, our goal is only one!

  We will occupy the Sunwell to defend against the imminent threat of the deep sea.

   As long as we survive Queen Azshara's punishment, the Nightborne can turn Quel'Thalas into his own overseas territory, everyone is an elves

  They can worship Azshara, just as they can worship me.

   As long as I prove my strength. "

   "No! I disagree! This plan is too risky."

  The great astrologer shook his head stubbornly and said:

   "The most important thing is, how do you make sure that the fickle Blake Shaw is at your disposal? The cunning and capriciousness of that guy is known to the world.

  You want to use him, maybe he will use him in turn, no, you will definitely be used by him! "

   "No no no, great astrologer, your views on politics are too shallow."

  Lilith Moon County bluntly said:

   "Why do you have to be afraid of being used? Being used shows value, and no one in this world will think hard to use a waste that can't do anything.

   I admit that my proposal is a risky one, and we may indeed be played by cunning grand pirates in applause, but what does that matter?

   As long as we can achieve our goal!

   Black and Quel'Thalas are already truly hostile, and as long as he's not stupid, he won't choose to refuse our joint proposal.

   And our Queen holds an artifact like the Eye of Aman'Thul.

time!

   The omnipotent time is on our side.

   If he wants to cheat, we have enough power to protect ourselves. And if not from a war perspective, but from an internal affairs perspective, we do need the magic of the Sunwell. "

  Lilith, the Home Secretary, sighed, took another piece of data from the document in her hand, and put it in front of the two big men. She said:

   "After accepting Syndra as a refugee, Suramar's already severe famine of magic wine has become more and more terrifying. If we can't find a new source of magic power, the magic wine we have stored will be completely consumed after half a year at most.

   By then, our people will be hungry for magic. "

   The Home Secretary shook her head and said to her queen:

"So it seems to me that, compared to Queen Azshara's punishment, our internal problems are the real trouble, my sire. You must use the sword in the hands of the Nightborne to win land under the sun for your subjects. !

  You must satisfy the people's thirst for magic, otherwise.

  You will be the next Queen Azshara.

   I think her experience is enough to warn all elven rulers. "

   The suggestion silenced Elisande for a few minutes.

  The Queen of the Night Child stood up, swayed her slender waist and walked to her palace window, looking out at the gorgeous city that she had ruled for more than 10,000 years.

   After a few seconds, she said:

   "During my coronation ceremony, I kindly asked the envoy of Quel'dorei if the magic of the Sunwell could be sold to us, and I even offered a very high price to express our sincerity.

   But the arrogant white-skinned elf ruthlessly rejected me.

   I felt indescribable sarcasm in their rejection, like facing a beggar

  I think, this time, they have no ability to reject me!

   I'm not giving them the chance to humiliate me either!

   Lilith, I need to talk to him for calling Black Shaw through your relationship with your bad and rebellious sister. "
