Chapter 18 - Black Rook Fortress Deployment
…………
In the Council Hall of Black Crow Fortress, a portrait of Queen Azshara, the symbol of the High Elves, hangs on the wall. The queen in the painting smiles charmingly, but what she doesn't know is that the ministers in the conference room are talking about her.
"The scouts searched for some survivors who escaped from the palace. We learned from their mouths that Zin-Azsali was being massacred." The one who was speaking was Elisana, the daughter of Culotas Ravencrest.
Ravencrest, she has long silver hair like her father.
"The Queen will never allow such a thing to happen, she will never sit idly by and ignore it!" Ravencase suddenly said. Others nodded, but many people did not express their opinions. For such a situation, it is often
It means that the lord has his own opinion: "This must be the work of the upper elves."
"Of course, even they are not so insane!" Malfurion argued. "The Highborne think they are superior, but they are the same night elves as us!"
"So I believe it...but I never expected that they would betray the Queen!" Ravencrest slammed his fist on the armrest of the stone chair, "Don't forget that the upper elves also followed Xavius's orders! That mage finally
He used all kinds of lies to deceive the Queen."
Malfurion had heard this familiar name a long time ago, but repeating it now made him feel dizzy. He asked in a low voice: "What kind of person is Xavius...?"
Disdain and contempt appeared on Ravencase's face, "He is a person who often speaks in the Queen's ear and is the Queen's most trusted advisor."
The young druid simply nodded, "I don't doubt that Xavius is also involved, but there is no way he would do such a thing without Azshara's consent! Even the upper elves absolutely obey the queen!"
"I agree with you, Your Excellency." Malfurion then noticed that there was a much younger elf in the conference hall. He had remained silent. At first, Malfurion thought he was just a guard.
That's all. "So far, we don't know why those demons came to our world, and we still need to continue investigating."
Ravencase was not angry at the young man's presumptuous interruption. On the contrary, he nodded approvingly. "That's the point, Jarod."
The young elf is no longer mysterious. Jarod Shadowsong is the captain of Black Crow Castle, and his sister Maiev Shadowsong is also a senior member of the Sisterhood of Elune. The Shadowsong family does not have noble blood, and both siblings are
He got the position through his talent and hard work. But Malfurion didn't expect that he was so young!
"It must be Xavius!" Ravencrest was still nagging.
It seemed that the sinner had been selected. Malfurion stood there and shouted to other people present. His staff all put on helmets, as if they were about to go to the capital.
"All Moon Guards, all capable spellcasters, must assemble immediately! Convey the order to every military unit, every commander! Resistance must be organized! This chaotic situation must be controlled!"
Ravencrest faced Malfurion: "We must know the situation in the palace!"
"You have found the right person, Lord. I have a way to sneak into the Eternal Palace without anyone noticing!"
The bearded noble nodded and turned to face his adjutant, Desdel Star Eyes: "I hope that the guards and all the defense projects will be completed within one day and put into use immediately!"
"As you command, Lord Lord, I will never let you down, please rest assured!"
"Great! Zin-Azsali's revenge must be avenged, and the queen must be rescued from the hands of the upper elf!"
Malfurion was sweating in his heart. It seemed that the undead's worries were completely correct. Ravencrest had insisted until now that the queen was being coerced.
"As for the Moon Guards..." Ravencrest was thinking about how to arrange this last force. "Leave it to Illidan to command. I believe that with his passion for magic, he will be able to lead the magic wizards well."
Elisana Ravencrest looked skeptical. "Illidan has some... youth, father. And in his pursuit of extremes, he always pushes the Moon Wardens to exhaustion." She said with a look from the corner of her eye.
He watched from the corner of his eye whether Malfurion would stand up to refute, but the night elf did not do so, "I hope you can think carefully, father."
"I'm afraid there is no one in Black Crow Hold who is more proficient in magic, my daughter. I have seen Illidan's magic, and he will not let me down."
"I don't trust Illidan, but I believe in your arrangements, father!"
Listening to them arguing, Malfurion's heart seemed a little heavy. He hoped that his allies could unite, but he was also worried that Illidan might do something incomprehensible on the battlefield. After all, his brother's
Behavior is often very extreme.
Someone must pay close attention to Illidan. The druid's eyes swept across everyone in the council chamber. They all had their own tasks, and Malfurion could not ask Ravencrest to send someone to keep an eye on Illidan.
Dan. Soon, he noticed.
"I have one more request, Lord Ravencrest." Malfurion said suddenly.
"Speaking!"
"I beg you to let the two friends who came with me stay to help you guard Black Crow Fortress."
Ravencrest immediately showed distrustful eyes. Malfurion knew that the lord's eyes reflected not him, but the undead and orcs, especially the former!
"Are you kidding? There are only two of them. I thought they would follow you to Zin-Azshari. Besides, I don't need them here."
"Please believe in them, Lord Lord. Although they are an alien race, I have seen their strength with my own eyes. Brox can fight against multiple enemies at the same time. The undead once cut off the arm of a powerful demon with one sword. They all
Have experience in dealing with demons."
The night elf hesitated, then said, "You're sure they can help?"
Malfurion's eyebrows raised: "The purpose of their coming here is to help you."
"Okay, I promise you, Illidan's brother." Ravencrest stood up, "But I will not command them, nor will I organize them into any troops, or give them tasks. They can move freely.
