Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1796 22. You said it wasn't a coincidence?

  Miss Maiev, who had seen the disaster with her own eyes, heard Black's inquiry, which made her feel that the mysterious gentleman beside her seemed to have a way to save the crisis.

   Pirates do.

   Now he can go to Xin Azali to easily kill the demon army and strangle all the underworld elements in that city one by one.

   Or simply have a center bloom.

   Stand on the top of Queen Azshara's palace and perform "The Silence Comes", easily make all the demons crazy and let them kill each other.

   This is very easy for a living deity.

   But here is the problem.

  The action of the pirates 10,000 years ago was, to put it bluntly, a "smuggling".

  The conspirators of the other side of the world have not yet dispatched the minions of death to Azeroth, but in terms of the importance of this world, Emperor Denathius has already set his sights.

  Those dreadlords who come with the Legion have the eyes of a king of sins. Once Black shows up here with great fanfare, his plans with Sargeras' secret meeting are in vain.

Although the time span of    is 10,000 years apart, the impact of changing time on the future is instantaneous. Blake has experienced it many times.

   That increase in "non-existent memory" is simply overwhelming.

   He must act quietly.

   To put it simply, you must play the yin, not the front.

  Fortunately, Black is better at this kind of sabotage than head-on combat, and his old silver style can maximize destructive power and stealth under such tactics.

   "Go, tell the high priests in the temple what you see, and they will report it to the city high."

  Black patted the pale-faced Miss Maiev on the shoulder and said in his ear:

   "Let them prepare for the attack of the devil. As for those refugees, they can be saved, but it depends on the organization and determination of your army."

   "Must be saved!"

   Maiev made the ritual gesture of the Luna Church on her chest, and she said seriously:

   "This is the teaching of Lady Elune."

   "No, Luna won't appear at this point in time, I told her in advance, you little idiot."

   Pirate corrected:

   "This is entirely your own idea."

   "Can you save them? Lord Black, if you're strong enough to talk to Lady Elune, you must have a way to put it all down, right?"

   Maiev looked at the pirate, who shrugged and said casually:

   "Yes, but it's not necessary. This is not my war, Miss Priest, this is your trouble, and it will neither benefit you nor me at all if I intervene.

   But I promised that every time you heard a story, you could make a request to me, so Miss Maiev, do you want me to save those poor people who are about to fall into the mouth of the devil? "

"I"

   Maiev wanted to answer, but saw Blake put his finger in front of her and shook his head, the pirate said in a meaningful tone:

   "Remember our conversation last night? You have to be careful before making a wish."

   The apprentice priest hesitated for a moment, she thought seriously for a moment, and nodded to Black. This chance to make a wish was temporarily saved, and she was sent back to the temple dome with the help of the pirate-driven wind.

   Maiev adjusted her clothes and walked quickly to the stairs of the temple. She was going to tell the high priest what she had just seen. Behind her, Black reminded:

   "Attribute everything to the revelation of the Moon God, Miss Maiev, for the sake of the mental safety of the priests, don't reveal my existence for the time being."

"I see."

   Maiev replied, and quickly walked down the stairs to the hall of the temple.

   She saw at a glance that the apprentice priest Tyrande, who was cleaning the temple today, was talking to a tall moon guard on the grass in front of the temple.

   Maiev recognized that guy.

His name is Illidan Stormrage. He is a good friend of Tyrande who grew up with him. He seems to have an older brother. Judging from the mighty and mysterious Moon Guard robe he wears, this kid should have joined Kutalos. Highlord Ravencrest is under his command.

  Miss Shadowsong is not a gossip person.

   She didn't think about stepping forward to eavesdrop on the conversation between the childhood sweethearts.

   But she keenly sensed Illidan's anxiety, and seemed to be persuading Tyrande to leave the temple and go to a safer place.

   This made Maiev feel that the situation was serious again. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the high priest's meditation room, walked in, and told her teacher everything she had seen.

   "This is Lady Elune's will, Master, He let me see all of this, the people who escaped from Zin Ashali, and those terrifying otherworldly demons, this is a warning from the gods.

   We must report this situation immediately. "

   Maiev's report made the high priest lady glance at her talented disciple in surprise.

   She hesitated.

It stands to reason that the clergy should pay more attention to such "oracles", but now it is different from the past. After Lord Ravencrest took over the city's defense, it may be inappropriate to rely on the oracles without any evidence. .

   After all, that high lord is a high-level elves who do not believe in the moon god, and they believe more in the evidence they have seen with their own eyes and the logic based on arcane power.

But High Priest Lady Diana believes that her apprentice will not joke about this kind of thing. Maiev Shadowsong is one of her two most promising apprentices. This girl will definitely become Elune's in the future. High Priest.

   She cannot lie in the name of the gods.

   "Come with me, we will inform the high lord of the information you have seen."

   The high priest thought for a moment, then got up and said something to his disciple, but she still had some words to say.

  Diana was well aware of Maiev's intention to tell her the information, and her apprentice wanted to save those fleeing, but as a high priest who had participated in foreign wars with trolls, Ms. Diana knew very well the way of thinking of the soldiers.

   If the terrifying demon is really imminent, then the high lord Ravencrest probably will not risk the dispersion of the city's defense forces and divide his strength to save the poor people who are being pursued.

  The war came so suddenly, the defense of the city was far from complete.

  The young Maiev didn't realize this. When the tutor was preparing, she quickly went back to her bedroom to take off her bow and put on a quiver, and also took out a war knife and put it on her back.

The priests of Elune are not only chanting scriptures, every high-ranking priest is a very powerful warrior, but as Blake complained before, the elven empire has been peaceful for too long, and the apprentice priests are very good at fighting skills. The practice is somewhat rusty.

   She walked out of the Moon Temple and followed her mentor, the mistsaber, to the headquarters of Lord Ravencrest. This scene was noticed by Tyrande, who sent Illidan away from the temple.

   She saw her companion Maiev and mentor leave with weapons, and the wise apprentice priest looked at Illidan beside her who was persuading her to leave Suramar.

   She hesitated and asked in a low voice:

   "Illidan, tell me honestly, is this city going to change? Is war coming?"

"Uh"

  Illidan bit his lip. He glanced at the beautiful cheeks of the girl who grew up with him that made him dream. After a few seconds, he said in a low voice:

   "I can't tell you, this is military affairs."

   Although he refused, in fact, this is also an affirmation of changing direction, which fully proves Illidan's cleverness. He has been very good at this kind of thinking behavior since he was a child.

   "That's why you advised me to leave Suramar and go to a safer place?"

  Tyrande took a deep breath, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and said:

   "Does Malfurion know?"

   Hearing that Tyrande was concerned about Malfurion for the first time after he learned of the danger, Illidan's unique amber eyes flashed a dim light, he shook his head and said:

   "I can't get in touch with my brother. He must still be learning spells with the old-fashioned Cenarius in the forest. Val'sharah is far away from here, and he will not be in danger.

   What matters now is you, Tyrande.

   You must be obedient!

   Get out of here immediately, and I will use a spell to send you to the Fortress of the Moonguard, from there you will go to Val'sharah to find Malfurion, he will protect you. "

"how about you?"

   Tyrande frowned and said:

   "Aren't you going with me?"

   "I am a soldier, Tyrande."

  Illidan touched the Black Rook Keep emblem on his chest and said:

   "Lord Kutalos valued me, he said that I would definitely achieve a career, he gave me the opportunity to respect and display my ambitions, I can't live up to him, and I can't live up to myself.

   I'll prove to Malfurion that even if I can't be a good druid, I'll be a good mage.

   those demons

   Don't worry about me, Tyrande, I've already killed a demon!

  I will kill more. "

   Tyrande wanted to say something to Illidan, but a few seconds later, a low horn sounded in the distance, Illidan looked up suddenly, then lowered his head and said to Tyrande:

   "That's the calling horn of the Moon Guard, something must have happened, I must go to assemble, Tyrande, you are obedient! Don't be stubborn at this time, leave here quickly.

  Leave with your companions, you are just apprentice priests, you should not step on the battlefield.

  Be nice, okay? "

   After finishing speaking, Illidan gave Tyrande one last look, turned and rode his black panther and ran out towards the center of the city.

   Wearing a moon-white sacrificial robe, Tyrande watched his good friend leave with concern. She sensed the deep meaning of Illidan's words and some of his warm feelings for her, which made the young priest feel a mess in her heart.

   She bit her lip to calm herself down. Now that the news of the war has been confirmed, she has to prepare for it.

  She will not leave.

   Not just because Lady Elune's temple is here, not just because of the teachings of the Moon God, but because the city where she grew up needs her.

   All of this was seen by Blake, who was standing on the dome of the Moon Temple. The chip pirate held the jug with a very strange smile on his face.

   is like an aunt laughing.

   "Well, the youthful love of young people is so beautiful, that sweet feeling is very similar to the taste of first love, but unfortunately the young and shy Illidan doesn't know how to grasp the tail of love.

   He hasn't lost yet.

   At least not yet.

   They have all started to move, so I should move too. "

   He laughed, stepped forward while Tyrande walked into the Moon Temple, jumped down from the 100-meter-high dome, and disappeared when he was halfway in the air.

   In the city headquarters, the serious-looking High Lord Ravencrest listened to the report of the high priest Lady Diana.

   He frowned.

  Although the lady had no proof but only informed the demon about the coming attack in the name of the revelation of the moon god, the high lord did not think that the news was forged.

  The belief in the moon **** is the oldest inheritance in the elf empire. A high-level priest would not joke about such a thing, but the high lord rejected the rescue plan proposed by Priest Diana without hesitation.

   "The city's defenses are woefully inadequate, ma'am."

The high lord    looked at the defense map in front of him. He was shocked by the number of gaps in the city defense. He shook his head and said:

   "The soldiers are gathering. They rely on teleportation to come here to complete the defense. The time is very tight. The moon guard is also gathering. The number of mages is enough to support the shield outside the city.

   has no excess power. "

   "Are we going to let our compatriots die at the hands of the demons? They escaped Zin Azsari with difficulty and came here just for a glimmer of hope!"

  Miss Maiev, who was standing behind Priest Diana, couldn't help but say:

   "We can't do this!"

The high lord    was not provoked by the rebuttal of the apprentice priest, he just glanced at Maiev indifferently and said softly:

   "Miss Priest, do you know how many civilians in this city are eager to be protected? I know this is cruel, but I must consider the safety of the majority.

   However, if you can organize your manpower without interfering with the deployment of the army, I can allow you to act on your own. As far as I know, there should be some apprentice priests in the Temple of the Moon who have not been assigned tasks. "

   "You're letting them die, Ravencrest."

   Dean Arya Bluemoon, who closed her eyes and recuperated beside the high lord, shook her head and said:

   "The apprentice priests have no fighting ability. They have never dealt with demons, and in fact, neither do we."

   "Let me go!"

   Just as a group of people were arguing, a deep voice sounded outside the hall, and Lord Ravencrest suddenly raised his head to see the alien emperor walking in with a beautiful and majestic staff.

  Emperor Shaohao in monk clothes said:

   "I know the meaning of city garrison. You really shouldn't divide your hands to weaken your own strength at this time. Miss Priest, if you can pinpoint the location of the fugitives, then I can bring them back."

   "Your Majesty Shaohao, you are a distinguished guest."

  The high lord frowned and said:

   "I don't want to see the nobles of alien races being harmed on our land."

   "I am a legendary monk."

   Shaohao glanced at the great lord and said:

   "I also have a demigod guard. It is no exaggeration to say that I am the most powerful person in this city. The strong naturally protect the weak. Is this a mistake in your elves' culture?"

   "I can be a guide, Your Majesty."

   Maiev did not hesitate, she said:

   "I still remember the route of those innocents, who were helped by the caster, and should have reached the hills near the Great Temple by now."

   "The Great Temple is at the forefront of the battle line, and I arranged for Captain Yassar Moonstrike to command the hunter's troops to deploy there."

   Lord Ravencrest pointed to the map and said to Emperor Shaohao:

   "If your rescue goes well, take them there. If it doesn't go well, retreat immediately, and there will be the first line of battle with the devil."

"Um."

The    emperor nodded and made a gesture to Maiev beside him. The two left the headquarters, and soon the roar of the dragon roared in the air.

  Ravencase watched them leave, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said to the adjutant beside him:

   "Xingyan, arrange a team of city guards to keep up with His Majesty Shaohao, we can't let others say that our elves don't understand etiquette. Send a moon guard to support them.

   Well, let Illidan go.

   That kid is fearless and has experience in dealing with demons.

   He will grow up in this war, he must become a good fighter. "
