Chapter 123: The Queen of Quel'Thalas
.
Let's turn our attention back to Quel'Thalas in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, the ruined kingdom of the high elves, a place of tragedy and tragedy.
Here in Darthwether Bay, there are only less than 180,000 high elves left here. In just a few days, Sylvanas decided to announce the last royal member of the Sunstrider family. ——Prince Kael'thas, after the news that he died in a fierce battle under the hands of the great demon, the high elves here began to fall into sadness, hesitation and fear.
The kingdom of the high elves, which has a history of thousands of years of glorious magic civilization, finally collapsed completely at the moment when it knew that Kael'thas, the prince of the Sunstrider, had fallen... From this day on, the royal court of the Sunstrider finally declared extinction , the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas no longer has any descendants of Dath'Remar who can inherit the throne.
At this time, the sun shining on the land of Quel'Thalas seemed to have lost its vitality, and it seemed that the fate of the high elves could be foreseen: after the high elves made great sacrifices, and with the help of foreign aid, With the help of the undead, they barely defeated the natural disaster of the undead. Now, before the undead raging outside had time to clean up, an even more powerful big demon came again. What should they use to resist? With what to take revenge? Even the heirs of the kingdom are dead, and everything they have done before seems to be meaningless!
In the past two days, the high elves were in grief and pain, and they also lost their way forward. They didn't know... where is the way forward? I don't even know... where they are going...
And today, it is also the evening, the same evening when Prince Kael'thas fell, on the tower of Darth Vesser, the temporary ruling tower of the high elves kingdom, where a group of representatives of the high elves gathered in In the duke's ruling hall in this high tower, they are swarming and besieging Sylvanas Windrunner, the highest title of the high elf kingdom of Quel'Thalas and the highest ruling officer.
Among this group of people, there is Lor'themar Theron, the ranger lord who is currently a representative of the military, dressed as a ranger with a long sword on his waist; there is also a beautiful golden-red magicweave robe, who is now a representative of the Church of the Holy Light Liadrin, the high-ranking priest and Countess Liadrin who is the representative of the existing nobles in Quel'Thalas; and the high-ranking mage Firendre who is the leader of the remaining mage organization, he is now the representative of the mages; Several members such as admirals, or members of the newly elected ordinary citizen council.
Of course, the reason why they are besieging here now is not to launch a coup or seize power, but to persecute their last surviving Grand Duke of the Quel'Thalas Kingdom, the savior of the elves—— Erwanas? Windrunner, force her to be crowned as the new queen of Quel'Thalas as soon as possible!
This action can be said to be persuasion, of course, it can also be said to be forcing the palace! However, other people's coercion is usually to bring down the previous king or emperor, but their high elves' coercion is to push Grand Duke Cirvanas to the position of queen, she can't do it right!
This persuasion activity was initiated by the ranger lord Lor'themar, after he knew that Prince Kael'thas had died at the hands of the demon lord, and the Sunstrider royal court was extinct; Lor'themar couldn't sit still when he couldn't extricate himself from the atmosphere of help. He absolutely couldn't, and he wouldn't just watch the high elves sink down like this. Absolutely not! He felt that he had to do something about it!
Therefore, Lor'themar thought hard for two days, and after some exchanges and hints with the representatives of various parties and the new members of the parliament, they all agreed with his idea, and the two sides hit it off.
In their view, there is no better way to solve the current problems of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas than Lor'themar's proposal! everyone,
They all affirmed his idea, so at this time of the day, this group of people came together to Dasweser's Tower to coerce Grand Duke Sylvanas.
At this moment, the Grand Duke Cirvanas was turning her back to this group of people, watching silently from the tower window thinking about the new Silvermoon City that was under construction outside, and now, she did not reply to these people behind her, nor did she say anything. If she refuses, no one knows what she is thinking now, and she will only leave a lonely and slender figure to those behind her...
"Your Excellency General...Your Excellency the Grand Duke! You must not hesitate any longer. Our Quel'dorei has now reached the moment of life and death. You should say something!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in front of him seemed a bit uneasy, and the action might fail, Lor'themar Theron, as the initiator of the incident, took two steps forward without hesitation, and loudly persuaded him. Anyway, the matter has reached this point, and it will not get worse. No matter what, he must persuade their Ranger General today that everything is for Quel'Thalas!
Besides, until now, looking at all the people in the entire Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, there are still enough identities, status, prestige and achievements to inherit and replace the throne of the Sunstrider, and only the one in front of him, Anas, is left. Before King Talian died for his country, he issued an edict to seal Sylvanas Windrunner as the Grand Duke of Silvermoon City!
And Cirvanas' achievements and reputation are obvious to all. From the invasion of the undead to the present, whether it is on the front line of resisting the undead, or forcing a retreat later to save 200,000 people, or starting now Full power to handle important military and political affairs, all of which can already show that no one can do better than her, and all the high elves believe in her.
Now, among the people at the bottom, some people even compare her to the morning star! It means that now that the Sunstrider has fallen, and that the high elves are in the darkest and most confused period, she is the brightest and most dazzling star before the dawn. Only she can lead the direction of navigation, and only she Only then can it herald the arrival of bright hope...
"General! Just look outside! Look... Now, our elves are in the most difficult and critical period. Countless people have lost confidence because of hesitation, pain and fear. Some people even have What's more, they gave up resisting the addiction without sustenance, and directly became the heartless! In just two days, we lost nearly tens of thousands of people..."
"General! We must not go on like this anymore! Now, you must stand up, use your actions and words to encourage the morale of the people, to let them regain the courage to fight against the undead natural disasters, and you must be able to defeat the demons Determination!"
"And now, the entire Kingdom of Quel'Thalas has no more choices! You now have nothing better than being crowned as the new Queen of Quel'Thalas and immediately encouraging the morale of the people. The choice! We, Quel'Thalas, urgently need a queen now, and we need her to guide and inspire the entire kingdom to get out of the predicament!"
After Lor'themar Theron said all she had to say in one breath, she panted heavily, looking at the beautiful figure by the window... The breeze from the sky above the tower was blowing in from the window, making her hand twitch at will. With a ponytail full of blond hair fluttering, she just stood by the window, still not saying a word...
Gritting her teeth dumb, Lor'themar felt that she had to work harder and force her a little more!
Today, they must succeed! It can only succeed! Whether it is for the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, for themselves, or for the confused people outside, everything, as long as, and only Grand Duke Cirvanas ascends the throne, then, when the time comes, all Everything will be perfectly resolved!
She will be the new faith, new will, and new hope of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas! As long as she is placed high on the throne of queen, her light can completely illuminate the direction of the high elves in this dark age!
"Please ascend the queen! Lead the Quel'dorei out of the predicament, for Quel'Thalas!"
Lor'themar Theron turned his head and gave a sneaky wink to the group of representatives behind him. After making sure that they all understood his intentions, he took two big steps forward, made a big salute, and half-kneeled on the big floor. In front of the Duke's desk.
"Please ascend the queen! Lead the Quel'dorei out of the predicament, for Quel'Thalas!"
"Please ascend the queen! Lead the Quel'dorei out of the predicament, for Quel'Thalas!"
"Please ascend the queen! Lead the Quel'dorei out of the predicament, for Quel'Thalas!"
...
"You are... whatever, so be it. You can stand up now, I agree... When the new Silvermoon City is built... I will be your queen."
Knowing that she could no longer refuse, nor could she refuse, Cirvanas Windrunner finally turned around, looked at the large group of generals and representatives from all parties half kneeling on the ground in front of her, and finally sighed helplessly. tone.
She actually knew that this was indeed the best choice for Quel'Thalas right now.
However, Cirvanas always felt...was it too hasty for them to do this? Now, Prince Kael'thas had just died a few days ago, and they couldn't wait for her to take the throne. Could this really boost morale? Even if it is really possible, but... She is also very worried at the same time, is this heavy burden a bit too heavy for her? She didn't even know if she could bear it...
Now, under the current situation, she, Cirvanas, agreed to be crowned Queen of Quel'Thalas, not for any honor, let alone for some power, but for that heavy responsibility.
At this time, there is always a need for someone to carry this kingdom that is about to collapse, to bring the high elves to the light, to a hopeful future...
If it weren't for the bloody letter of commission before King Anasterian's death, if it wasn't for this invisible responsibility that has been spurring her, perhaps, she really wanted to push all this to Lor'themar, and then Just leave it alone, right?
In terms of military and political ability alone, she felt that her former adjutant should be no worse than her! It's just that Lor'themar doesn't have that reputation right now.
As a windrunner, what she, Cirvanas, actually wants more is to be as free and unrestrained as a wind, without having to think about troubles and the like... She never thought about it. What kind of elf queen stays in a cage-like palace, let alone any power and status...
It's just that now there is an invisible thing called responsibility... This kind of invisible and intangible thing has already made her almost breathless... They trust her so much, but only she can... I know... In fact, she herself is also very confused, where is the way forward for hope...?
"Lor'themar..."
"Now, send out Dragon Eagle Rangers, send out naval messengers, send envoys to the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the south, to the Kingdom of Stormwind across the strait to the south, and to all the surviving former alliance kingdoms in the eastern continent... Whether it is the undead Scourge, It’s still those demon legions that have just arrived, and all of this now cannot be resisted by us high elves alone. We must unite, we need more allies, more and more..."
After another moment of silence, Sylvanas finally gave her order, the first since she agreed to be crowned queen.
Now, she needs to let go of all the arrogance of the elves, unite all forces that can be united, and try to fight against those demons and undead that seem to be able to destroy the entire eastern continent in an instant!
"Yes! As ordered! Your Majesty the Queen!"
After hearing that Grand Duke Cirvanas finally nodded and agreed to become Queen, Lor'themar was overjoyed, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly answered the order loudly. Now, he has even changed the name of the export in advance, and what he is afraid of is that the other party will go back on his word!
