Chapter 378: The Trapped Sunstrider

"Sorry, my son. This is the strongest force I can muster for you."

A look of excitement appeared on Kael'thas's face: "For the sake of Sunwell... Didn't I keep sending letters to tell my father about the threat of the tribe as early as a year ago?"

"All motions to prepare for war were rejected by the council on the grounds that Quel'Thalas was not at risk of being affected by the flames of war, and there was no reason to increase the defense budget. In fact, until three days ago, the councilors firmly believed in the rune stone circle It is invincible. Now the whole of Quel'Thalas is in chaos, and the country seriously lacks pre-war mobilization... We are very passive." The Sun King sighed deeply, with indelible sorrow and resentment on his face.

parliament! parliament! It's the Silver Moon Council again!

Those cancers that imprisoned the entire high elves and rejected all progress and changes!

The resentment in his heart almost burst Kael'thas' chest.

No matter how good his upbringing was, he still had the urge to scream wildly to vent. Why does he want to study in Dalaran for a long time like a prince? To put it nicely, let His Royal Highness go out to absorb new knowledge. To put it bluntly, the Silver Moon Council, whose power is above the royal power, exiled him in order to limit the royal power.

Who knows the depression of not being able to return home?

The excellent self-cultivation still allowed Kael'thas to suppress the anger in his heart.

Of course, in Dalaran these years, Kael'thas also gained a lot of knowledge. Perhaps the high elves have unparalleled talent in using magic, but the development of magic is no longer the magical world that has not changed for thousands of years in the elves' minds.

Forget about the elves’ high-level refusal to accept new things, but they are so arrogant and stupid that they don’t even care about killing the enemies in front of them. This is to ask the enemies to put a knife on their necks before exclaiming, “Ah! So there are really enemies?”?

Anger turned into anger, Kael'thas was still very clear-headed, he had already seen the Horde's might, and he knew very well that it was impossible to defeat the Horde with this rotten troop.

But for the sake of his people, Kael'thas resolutely accepted the appointment.

No reason, just because his surname is Sunstrider! He is the sole heir to the royal family of Quel'Thalas.

The perfectionist training from birth to the present has already imprinted the glory and responsibility into the deepest part of his noble soul.

It is his duty to save his hometown.

Facing his father, Kael'thas bowed his head deeply: "Father, for the sake of the Sunwell and the continuation of the high elves, I am willing to sacrifice my life for Quel'Thalas."

Give your life? !

These words are very serious, so heavy that even the Sun King was taken aback, and felt that something was wrong when he heard it.

He knew very well that his son had no special reason, so it was impossible for him to say such heavy words.

The Sun King wants his only heir to die in battle? Don't be kidding, after finally finding an opportunity to attack the council, Anasterian called Kael'thas back just to let Kael'thas have a period of great achievements like the return of the king. In order for Kael'thas to better inherit his throne in the future, one day in turn limit the excessive power of the Silvermoon Council.

"Son, is this... tribe really that powerful?" Anasterian's energy is no longer what it used to be, and too much energy has been involved in internal strife, making the Sun King who ended the war of trolls become today's internal A "faint king" who is an expert in fighting and an amateur in foreign wars.

The entire upper echelon of Quel'Thalas will not take ordinary soldiers seriously. No matter how many orc warriors there are, they will only treat them as ants.

After deliberating in his heart for a while, Kael'thas said, "Among the orcs in the tribe, there is a warlock named Gul'dan, who fought against Antonidas of Dalaran in a head-to-head confrontation." Win or lose."

"Hiss—" The Sun King was finally moved.

Whether it is him or the Silver Moon Council, most of them look down on human mages. But there is one exception - Antonidas, the strongest super-genius archmage in Dalaran in the past century.

In a semi-public competition thirty years ago, Anastrian and Antonidas fought to a close. This battle also established Antonidas' detached position in Dalaran.

The Sun King can look down on any spellcaster, but he cannot look down on Antonidas.

The strong, regardless of race, regardless of national boundaries.

The orc powerhouse who can be as famous as Antonidas can't be overestimated.

The Sun King touched his chin: "Son, how about this, I will draw an arcane puppet brigade from the defense of Silvermoon City for you, plus ten mountain giants and two spellbreaker squadrons. Go fight Come back with a nice big win."

Kael'thas finally showed joy on his face.

At this moment, both father and son didn't realize that they were still cheated.

First of all, Gul'dan, except for Duke in the entire alliance and even the entire Azeroth world, no one knows where Gul'dan's true strength is. In terms of high-end force, the elves made their first miscalculation.

The second is to understand the strength of the orc fighters.

Except for the Windrunner sisters, none of the senior elves had ever been to the battlefield in person, and their understanding of the orcs was only on paper. They only saw the exchange ratio between humans and orcs after the war, and felt that the losses of humans and orcs were similar, so they equated the combat power of orc fighters with human fighters. No one cares, this is the exchange ratio that Duke played out by maximizing the power of his strategy.

The last is the change brought about by the rune stone.

In the impression of the elves, if the rune stone defensive circle is broken, it will be broken. No one can understand how much the storm altar made of rune stones can improve the tribe.

Now all the ogres in the tribe have become double-headed, and the ogres' physical fitness is at least advanced on this planet. After the biggest problem of mental retardation was eliminated, the combat power at least doubled. What's more, there are a large number of ogre mages among the thousands of ogres.

Can a single-core CPU be compared with a dual-core one?

In this way, the great Prince Kael'thas embarked on the first journey in his life with a heroic army fighting against the invaders.

An army of 27,000 people stretched from the royal city of Silvermoon City to the gate of the city. In the mighty team, every soldier's armor has exquisite carvings and patterns. The bright red background, the gorgeous gold wire edging, and the flying wing headband that only has weak protection except for decoration...

Since it was fighting at the door of the house, the chocobo pulling the cart did not bring too much luggage, but instead brought a lot of magic stones, and various morale-boosting musical instruments.

Duke and the others, who were far outside the border, were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene from the magic mirror image sent by a mage who was close to the Windrunner family.

Even an upright and good young man like Reginald Windsor couldn't help complaining: "Damn it, is this going to a war or an armed parade?"
