Four hundred and sixtieth chapters clumsy love
With the winter pace, the cold current from Northrend continent, and the first snow at the beginning of winter sprinkled in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms continent. Fortunately, because of the unique hobbies of Titans, the mountains on the continent were separated from areas across the mountains, which prevented the temperature from dropping sharply.
The majestic capital of Lordaeron has snowflakes flying, but it cannot reduce the atmosphere of joy and celebration. Colorful flags of celebration and festivals are hung everywhere in the city. The national flags of various countries of the alliance are dancing in the cold wind, making them particularly conspicuous in the snow.
Many of the citizens of the royal capital braved the snow to celebrate the victory of the war in the squares, and the people in the taverns and other places were crowded. Although the alliance also suffered heavy losses, I don’t know how many people lost their husbands, sons or brothers, they won after all, right? They don’t have to be treated as slaves or even food by those dirty green-skinned monsters. The feeling of surviving the disaster is particularly strong for the people of the Royal Capital Lordean.
And it is not a secret that as residents of the royal capital, they are all middle and upper class in this country. Except for a few children who joined the army because of honor, most of them only support the war from other aspects, and the feeling of bereavement is not very good.
At this time, they didn't want to talk about the people who sacrificed for the alliance. The dead have left after all, and people have to continue their lives in the future, right? What's more, it is said that the soldiers who sacrificed will receive the greatest pension. And those who should have been silent have already paid silence.
Just the day before yesterday, under the leadership of His Majesty Terenas, the leader of the alliance, the king of Lordaeron, the entire alliance mourned together. Although the main target of mourning was Marshal Anduinlosa, he also brought people who died in order to fight against the tribe.
Not to mention on the planet Azeroth, even in the modern era of the earth, marshals and soldiers could not enjoy the same treatment. It would be good to be remembered by those big men and promised to covet heavy pensions. As an ordinary person, how can you have higher requirements?
After all, ordinary people in this world do not have that high awareness. The reason why they join the army is that they really have the idea of defending their country. It is more because the nobles require military service, in order to be exempt from taxes and to earn more food.
As for the knights who were born in the upper and middle class, they had honors, better family foundations, higher pensions, and could not ask for more. Compared with those illiterate farmers, they still knew the truth that the country did not have a family.
On the spacious street, the sheriff led his subordinates to order the people to clean the streets. From time to time, a group of knights or carriages drove to the palace from the clean streets. In the taverns on the street, there were people analyzing which country the other party came from based on the flags, badges and even body types.
Although the war has not yet ended completely, the tribe is no longer able to turn the tables. At this time, the orcs are only concerned about running away. After the previous few organizational counterattacks were easily defeated, they completely lost their morale and flee to the gate of darkness. Even the arrogant, rude and tough orcs began to surrender.
From this we can see that this war has come to an end. But there are still many things to deal with, such as the handling of orc captives, whether to counterattack the world of orcs, and the compensation for damaged countries in the alliance, and the handling of rebelled countries.
There are countless things in Linlin, and it is not a matter of one family, so senior officials of various countries and races gathered in the capital of Lordaeron to discuss.
In the palace, senior officials from various countries and forces were not idle. Before the formal meeting was held, they were connected, hoping to determine some affairs first, so that their respective countries could benefit more, and even communicate in advance and confirm the ideas of all parties to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting.
With the assistance of the Dalaran Mage, some relevant senior officials of the army rushed back to the capital of Lordaeron by teleporting magic, after King Terenas announced that the meeting will officially begin tomorrow, this kind of ventilation and tandem behavior reached its peak.
The Deathwing Nesario, who transformed into Lord Presto, was particularly active. After the tribe passed through the Ultratown Valley without any obstacles due to fear of losses, there was no doubt that Ultratown became a traitor. The King Perenolds would be punished.
What Lord Preisto hoped was that many people understood that this time was just an exchange of interests. However, after working hard for a day during the day, the Lord Preisto should have continued to connect and ensure that his wish was fulfilled at night, but his inexplicable uneasiness made him restless in his room and did not continue to act.
Late at night, the Lordaeron Palace gradually became quiet, and in the night, there were only the figures of guards. A tall figure wandered in the night at this time. Although he did not deliberately dodge, because of his special talent, many guards inexplicably ignored her.
When I came to a garden in the palace, there was no cover. My tall figure appeared in the moonlight, my tall and agile figure, my delicate and picturesque face, and my fresh and pure temperament like a mountain spring. It is the high elf Aurelia Wind Walker who is very popular in the Alliance Army.
Such a beautiful and powerful woman will be loved and supported by her comrades and even other sects. What's more, this high elf came to support her in accordance with the covenant and took care of her subordinates without fear of hardships in the war. In the eyes of many people, she is like a Valkyrie.
The fine snowflakes were dancing, reflecting the magic lights everywhere, and under the gloomy sky, it looked particularly bright. Aurelia raised her face, her eyes were a little confused, and the snowflakes fell on her face, cold and moist. She breathed out her breath, and Aurelia's face still had a faint sadness.
The coldness of snowflakes made Aurelia's restless mood calmer, and she didn't know what was wrong with her. She was depressed since the senior management ordered them to return to the capital of Lordaeron through teleportation magic with the cooperation of the mage.
Aurelia knew that she didn't want to come back for any meeting, even if this meeting seemed very necessary. But in Aurelia's eyes, there was no need for her. She just followed the covenant and did not think about what to gain through this war.
The people who come and go and connect her can smell a smell that she hates very much, that is bureaucracy. It is the thing that elves who naturally like nature and freedom dislike the least. But it is not only humans, but also the high elves today.
The Silver Moon Council has become so bureaucratic, shirking responsibility and slow pursuing fame and fortune, etc. If this were not the case, perhaps the Wind Walker family would not have fallen to this point. There would not be so many rangers who died under the orc's battle axe and forest fires.
Is it because of the sacrifice of my family and colleagues that I have complained about the Silver Moon Council and even the top leaders of the Alliance? Aurelia thought seriously. Perhaps it is, after all, some tragedies could have been avoided, but the losses were expanded because of her own people.
No matter how abrupt and incredible the orcs attacked the Silver Moon Forest, no matter how powerful the orcs are, Aurelia believed that the Rangers troops she left behind must have found traces, but because the Silver Moon Council was slow to react, the Rangers troops had no support or evacuation time at all.
Also, Marshal Anduinlosa, who commanded the alliance's troops, no matter how noble his character or his strength, was without doubt that he lost to Orc Chief Orgrim and was led by Orgrim. If the orc movements could be discovered, the alliance's losses would not be so great!
These are the thoughts that emerged in Aurelia's mind, although these thoughts made her feel a little guilty and she felt that she was shirking responsibility.
But is this really a shirk responsibility? Aurelia was a little confused and became more and more restless.
She was also confused about the future. The orcs destroyed her family and killed her parents. Now the alliance has defeated the tribe, and she has killed countless orcs. Is this considered to have already taken revenge? But she did not feel any pleasure, after all, her parents will never come back.
Do you want to kill all the orcs? Will that make you feel more comfortable? Even if she can't kill all the orcs by herself, she still has to rely on the power of the alliance. Thinking of this, Aurelia became more and more depressed.
Taking a few deep breaths and trying to calm down. Aurelia thought carefully, and seemed to be in a state of restlessness tonight, not only because of these, but also other reasons. It seemed to be a bad premonition. Aurelia still trusted her own intuition. But where did this uneasiness come from?
Suddenly, Aurelia turned her head and looked at the corner. Even in the dark environment, it did not affect her special vision at all. Seeing the person clearly, Aurelia's eyes softened as if she was coming, but she didn't say anything. She still looked up at the snowy sky. The Valkyrie rarely showed a delicate aura. No matter how strong she was, she still had her own limits, and being strong does not mean the disappearance of sadness.
A tall figure walked out from the corner, and the lights in the distance reflected the image of this person. He was tall and strong, even though it was late at night, he was still wearing a plate armor, but he was not wearing a helmet. His blonde hair was a bit messy, and his clear face was full of perseverance. This is Tulayang, a man who took over as the Alliance Marshal after Lothar's death. He was born in a middle-class family and was able to become the Alliance Marshal, obviously he had reached the peak of his life.
Tulayang, who was determined and courageous in both combat and command, seemed to have returned to his youth now. His mouth opened and closed several times, and his voice trembled:
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? I think your parents will definitely be relieved to see the victory of the league and to see your growth. They will not want you to be sad."
After so long, despite the stuttering, the care experience was very clear, and what was clearer was the love in his eyes, which was particularly hot. Aurelia couldn't help but her cheeks became slightly hot, and she turned her head and stopped looking at Tulayang.
Aurelia knew how Tulayang felt for her, and many people even knew it. Aurelia also had some feelings for this man who was an ordinary man but was working hard and motivated. The other party's courage and tenacity were all qualities that made her feel disappointed. But Tulayang did not really show her love, and Aurelia still had some hindrance in her heart.
It is not because Tulayan is a human being, and has a huge lifespan gap with the high elves. But because of other things, on the one hand, Aurelia feels that she still needs to take care of her two sisters and cannot leave the Kingdom of Quelthalas. On the other hand, she takes some anger at Anduinlosa. As Anduinlosa's disciple and successor, Aurelia also has some knots about him.
But it is undeniable that under Tulayang's clumsy but sincere care, the knot was slowly melting. "I don't know why, a few days ago, after seeing the Red Dragon Queen and the mysterious human, I had a bad premonition. This premonition was particularly strong tonight..." Aurelia frowned slightly.
"Although the dragon clan is arrogant, he has no interest in the world. I heard that they protect the entire planet of Azeroth. Those who can stand with them should not be a bad person, right?"
Tulayang and Aurelia have been fighting side by side for so long, and they dare not ignore her intuition.
"We cannot control what the future will be like, we can only do our best to defend our country. No matter what the result is, at least we have a clear conscience."
Tulayang said loudly, and although there was no solution, the kind of heroism and determination were particularly powerful. Aurelia looked at Tulayang, making his rough cheeks slightly red, and she said softly:
"You're right, we'll do our best."
The two of them didn't say more. Aurelia quietly looked at the snowflakes flying in the air, while Tulayang quietly looked at her, while the two were silent but not embarrassed.
The next morning, the bell woke up the sleeping city and the people began to eat. In the palace, senior officials and military leaders from all over the palace had finished their breakfast and gathered in the hall specially built by the palace, which was a hall built for the alliance.
The hall is decorated like a round table, each country and race has a row of seats, and the top is the position of Lordaeron, the leader of the alliance. Except for Gilness, who did not participate in the alliance war, the remaining six kingdoms were involved. Of course, Ultralank has determined to betrayal. At this time, Ultralank's seat was occupied by Lord Presto.
There were also dwarves, dwarves and high elves sitting in various places in the hall.
King Terenas was a qualified and even outstanding country and politician. The meeting went smoothly under his advance preparation and presidency, first mourning the casualties and then celebrating the difficult victory.
