Chapter 54: Prelude

　　 It has been two days since Anasteria issued the mobilization order. Although there was some chaos in the entire Silvermoon City in these two days, the overall situation was still calm.
　　 It is worth mentioning that Kael'thas Sunstrider teleported back from Dalaran the next day after receiving the order of Anasteria.
　　 "Father!"
　　 Anastria raised his head from behind the table, and when he saw Kael'thas, he quickly stood up and walked to his beloved son, giving him a big hug.
　　 "You are back, Kael'thas!"
"Yes, father," Kael'thas nodded after separating from Anasteria, "I immediately packed my luggage after receiving your order and returned through the portal of Dalaran early this morning. Silvermoon City. How is the battle on the frontline?"
　　 Anastria took Kael'thas and walked to the next room. After he asked the adjutant to pour two glasses of wine rich in arcane magic, he told him to retreat.
　　 "Come on, Kael'thas, first taste how this wine tastes."
　　 Kael'thas saw that Anasteria was so calm, he could only suppress the impatience in his heart, took the wine glass on the table and drank it, then his eyes suddenly widened.
　　 "Father, this wine?" Kael'thas was a little shocked by the taste and efficacy of this wine. He couldn't wait to pick up the bottle on the table and quickly poured himself another glass.
"Yes, it can alleviate our magic addiction." Anasteria said while tasting the sky blue liquor, "To be honest, I was also shocked at first, because there are so many magical drinks. But there is almost nothing that has a soft taste and low price like this wine."
　　 "What is it called?" Kael'thas looked at the liquor.
　　 "Moonlight." Anastria said a term more like the favorite of relatives across the sea.
　　 "..." Kael'thas frowned, "This name is too..."
"It's not in our temperament, doesn't it?" Anasteria drank the wine in her hand. "But that's what I want to tell you, my child, arrogance covers Quel'Thalas. Eyes."
　　 Kael'thas was puzzled.
　　 "What do you think of the human race?" Anastria suddenly jumped to the subject.
Kael'thas was unprepared, but he thought about it and replied: "They live short lives, but are passionate about life. Take Dalaran as an example. Many people are very talented and can do it in their short life. Going far beyond our achievements, and developing all kinds of magic that we can't imagine."
　　 "You must be curious why I ask you that?"
　　 "Father, please tell me."
"When Quel'Thalas was first established, King Dathremar and the members of the first generation council were just like the human beings you saw. They loved life and were persevering. They were able to achieve their current glory through their hard work. Quel'Thalas, Magic Empire.
But in the past four thousand years, the elves have changed their appearance. We have discarded the tradition. Members of the council are madly fighting with the royal family and fighting for power. Our mages are also greedy for life and death, and idle. The key is our people, a large part of it. Has fallen into a waste spirit who knows how to eat, drink and have fun, drunk and dreams every day! "
Anasteria got more and more excited. He stood up and pointed out the window. The magical power kept surging. The air was filled with arcane energy again. Kael'thas looked around and found that it was everyone in the council. The mage's tower of the mage, like a tulle, is surrounded by layers of arcane energy, gleaming against the sun.
"Kael'thas, have you seen the seven towering mage towers? Each mage tower occupies a very good magic net node. What do you think it should look like? You can't see the preciousness at a glance Books? All kinds of rare materials that are hard to see?
　　 However, apart from the Great Magister, one of the remaining members counts as one, and each tower is filled with all kinds of precious jewels and arcane crystals! They abandon their knowledge as a mess, and never develop spells. All day long they think about how to rely on their power to seek greater benefits for the family!
　　The most important point is that they even want to seize the use and control of the sun well! "
　　 "Father, why don't you let me stay and help you?"
Anasteria breathed a sigh of relief, and shook her head after controlling the violent magic: "Kael'thas, my child, do you think I don't want to? The reason why I put you in Dalaran is because of this. The councillors asked me to send you away forcibly before my strength reached its peak, so that they could better control the Sunwell.
　　 If it hadn’t been for my breakthrough two years ago, the absorption and control of the solar well energy would go to a higher level. Believe my child, you still can’t come back. "
　　 "..." Kael'thas silently looked at the mage tower in the distance without speaking.
"Okay, Kael'thas, I tell you this is not to make you worry, but to tell you that the kingdom is now facing a difficult situation. This difficult situation is caused by many reasons, and I have some ideas about the solution. Remember the wine I gave you just now?"
　　 "?" Kael'thas was puzzled.
　　 "This is the wine produced in Farstrider Fortress. Haven't you heard of Farstrider Fortress?" Kael'thas shook his head.
"It's a strange little guy from the Windrunner's family. He is different from all the elves I have seen." Anasteria seemed to think of something, and laughed, "Well, let's gather Silvermoon City first. Then go to Tarquelin to accept the dispatch of Krivi Windrunner, and then you will have the opportunity to meet."

　　 The night of the Silver Moon Forest, the jungle east of the ruins of the Sun Temple.
　　 "You are back, Lor'themar, how is it?" Taranas asked.
"The situation is not good, Captain Taranas, I see something strange. These trolls seem to be sacrificing something, and it is estimated that there are some big people stationed inside. I see two trolls always accepting others. The salute of the troll." Lor'themar took off the hood on her head and whispered.
Taranas frowned. They have been lying in ambush here for the whole day, watching the trolls keep coming and going in and out of the Temple of the Sun, carrying all kinds of things, including the bodies of elves and all kinds of things. Decorations.
"Well, Kars, you lead five people to the troll camp on the south side of the road and set a fire to attract the attention of the trolls. Lor'themar, we will take the lead in the raid after the fire starts. the best!"
　　 "Yes, Captain!"
　　 After talking about Karls leading his team, they moved along the edge of the jungle to the south side~EbookFREE.me~ Taranas whispered to the remaining rangers to prepare.
　　 "It's on fire!"
　　Along with the calls of the trolls, a group of dazzling fires reflected half of the sky, and the sleeping trolls were awakened to go south to put out the fire.
　　 Taranas and Lor'themar concealed their whereabouts, leading the rest of the team to sneak into the periphery of the Sun Temple.
　　 "Captain, look!" The female ranger Deborah behind them pointed to the cage and the messy corpses in the clearing.
　　 "Deborah, stay alert! Lor'themar, come with me!"
　　 The two quietly approached the cage and saw the only two elves left inside, Lor'themar could not help but took out a sharp knife and cut the wood directly.
　　 Taranas walked in, he patted the male elf, and then the two elf woke up in a daze.
　　 "You are?" Looking at the well-equipped Taranas in front of him, some of this elves have not yet woken up.
　　 "Don't talk nonsense! Can you still go?" Taranas asked anxiously.
　　 "Are there arcane crystals? Me, I feel a little uncomfortable."
　　 "Here, you two take a sip to ease it, and we have to leave here right away." Taranas handed over a delicate small flask filled with special "Moonlight".
Then he helped the two elves out of the cage. He ignored what the male elves said and directly said to Deborah: "You lead a few people to take them out first, and Lor'themar and I will spy out again. ."
　　 Deborah helped the two weak elves to leave quickly, Lor'themar continued to follow Taranas and walked quietly into the Sun Temple.
　　 At this moment, a troll voice rang out: "Who?!"
