Chapter 628 The Fraudster's Layout
Charlemagne is not unable to understand Kael'thas' thoughts. The Sunwell has a lofty status in the hearts of all high elves, and has even risen to the level of belief.
The sun kings of all dynasties would integrate their bodies into the sun well after their death. The kings believed that this would allow them to still protect their descendants and the entire kingdom in the sun well.
Kael'thas' father, the previous Sun King Anasterian and Queen Giffen also chose to return to the Sunwell. The Burning Legion's move, which was almost desecrating the tomb of their ancestors, would of course make Kael'thas furious.
From a strategic point of view, taking advantage of the Burning Legion's unstable foothold as soon as possible to conquer the Sunwell is not a wrong choice. Kael'thas made a mistake in being too impatient.
Marched rashly without knowing the reason for the fall of the Sunwell, and finally the Burning Legion spies placed in the Guards by the traitor found an opportunity to sneak attack.
The king was severely injured, causing the morale of the troops he brought to Quel'Danas to collapse, and he could only return to Silvermoon City through the portal in embarrassment.
The last order Kael'thas gave before he passed out was to close the stable portal to Quel'Danas and prepare the coastline for the Burning Legion's attack.
"However, the Burning Legion did not launch an attack hastily. Instead, they used the sunwell corrupted by evil energy to start a summoning ceremony on the island. According to the information sent back by Villes' desperate investigation, they wanted to use the sunwell to summon Kiel. Gadan."
Charlemagne nodded sullenly when he heard Lisson's report. The Burning Legion's strategy did not exceed his expectations.
If the reckless Archimonde led the team, the Burning Legion should have already started crossing the sea to launch a full-scale attack at this moment, but the opponent's commander is Kil'jaeden, and this fraudster is not the kind of person who is eager for quick success.
Strictly speaking, his style is closer to that of Charlemagne, and he prefers to use various small means to set up a good situation in advance, let the situation proceed according to his own wishes, and then take the general momentum to run over it openly.
This time he found the opportunity for Charlemagne not to control the overall situation in the country, and provoked the restless nobles in the country to cooperate with the group of evil elves, and launched this sudden attack before Kael'thas suspected Duke Sunset Precision Rebellion.
Charlemagne gritted his teeth, 'If I were in the country... No, Kil'jaeden chose this timing because he had received the news from the rebel nobles that I was not in the country in advance. '
Charlemagne put down the report in his hand, and continued to ask Leeson with a serious face, "How is the assembly of the pledged troops? This report is from yesterday. I want to know the latest situation!"
"yes!"
Leeson bowed slightly and said, "Now Miss Alleria and Miss Sylvanas have led the Farstrider and Ranger troops to the north of Silvermoon City to build a line of defense. All the Flaming Blade and Firewing Legion that returned from Outland went to the front line."
"As far as the allied countries of the oath, the night elves are led by Lady Tyrande Whisperwind personally to lead the Sentinel Troops, and Arch Druid Staghelmet led the Druid Troops to come together. Arch Druid Stormrage... seems to have received a certain spirit Trauma, recovering from injury in the Emerald Dream."
'Trauma…'
The corner of Charlemagne's mouth twitched, even in such an urgent situation, he still had a high desire to complain, "Is being dumped by your girlfriend considered mental trauma..."
"Suramar, Dalaran, Tauren, Draenei, and the newly joined pandaren all expressed that they would gather their troops to arrive as soon as possible. Theramore may not be able to come because Ms. Proudmoore is not there. The Apocalypse Knights have already arrived. Arrive from Sandarra ahead of time under the leadership of Mograine."
Leeson shook his head regretfully, "I'm afraid the Alliance and the Horde don't have that free time. According to the information sent back through the secret channel, the two sides have recently been instigated by unknown people to fight with real swords and guns in Outland."
"This time, I'm afraid it's not a local war. Under the clamor of the main combat factions, the two sides seem to have a tendency to expand the war. They have no time to pay attention to our ancient oath."
"Tsk... Is it Kil'jaeden's layout again? It's really thoughtful..."
Although some clues can be seen from the lack of support from the Alliance and the Horde, Charlemagne was still very upset to hear Lisson's report.
There was already a deep hatred between the Alliance and the Horde, and it was normal to fight under the instigation of interested people. After all, there was Daelin on the Alliance side, and a group of newly joined Margmen on the Horde side.
"Where is the guardian dragon? Has anyone sent a notice? Facing the attack of the main force of the Burning Legion, I hope to get their support."
Lison nodded, "It has been notified that the dragons are gathering at Wyrmrest Temple, and Lord Malygos should send them over tomorrow at the most."
Probably the situation has been understood, Charlemagne thought for a while in his mind, stood up and said, "I have already understood the situation of the war, how is the situation in the country? Has the influence of the rebellious nobles been suppressed?"
"Thanks to the efforts of the Silver Moon Council, the country has been stabilized for the time being, but if the war situation continues to deteriorate, something worse may happen."
Charlemagne took off Solidar and the Eagle's Claw from the wall and hung them on his back, ready to be fully armed, and took out Mr. Bigworth from his arms for the maid to take back to the Duke's mansion.
Immediately, he continued to ask while preparing his weapons with the help of Vereesa and Valeira, "Your Majesty is sick in bed now, who is in charge of the overall situation? Lianda?"
"No…"
Li Sen gave a wry smile, "Princess Lianda thinks she doesn't have that ability, and the Solaris she is in charge of is still guarding the sky over Silvermoon City at this time, and now Quel'Thalas is temporarily controlled by the six members of the Silvermoon Council. Take control."
"But it is obvious that the domestic turmoil has absorbed most of their energy, and now the whole country lacks a person who can make the final decision."
Seeing Lisen's meaningful eyes, Charlemagne sighed softly and said, "I see, I'm going to Silvermoon City now, I'll go and see His Majesty's situation first, and I'll go directly to the front line to command later. fight."
"Lisen, the territory will be handed over to you, try to appease the people, and don't cause trouble in the rear during the war!"
"yes!"
Charlemagne felt a little uneasy when he coiled up the shrunken Eragon around his neck, and the current situation confirmed his original worries.
As soon as Kaelthas fell, the entire Quel'Thalas was instantly leaderless, and the issue of the king having no heir was immediately put on the table.
‘I hope Kael’thas can be rescued, otherwise…even if the Burning Legion can be expelled, Quel’Thalas will probably experience quite a bit of turmoil. '
