Chapter 93: Return of the King?

The moment it was teleported over, Kael'thas and his party immediately realized that something was wrong! Because, they found that between the sky and the earth, there was a piece of gray, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, which blocked the afternoon sun. above. There is still a big...mushroom? Looking around, everywhere you look, you can see desolation, and the air is full of suspended smoke and dust...

"This, this is impossible! How is it possible? It shouldn't be like this... Who can tell me what happened here! What about Silvermoon City in our Kingdom of Quel'Thalas? Where about our Eversong Forest? Why did it become like this?"

On a hilltop not far from the former site of Silver Moon City, this place was originally an external teleportation circle outside Silver Moon City. Under normal circumstances, this place is guarded by several garrison mages and double the number of elite guards plus a small number of rangers. Only those who are allowed or have permission can teleport here! This is like Prince Kael'thas, he must have this authority!

Kael'thas and several of his followers just used Dalaran's teleportation circle to teleport back to this location. Originally, they thought that when they came out, they would definitely be warmly welcomed by the mages and guards stationed here. After all, their respected Prince Kael'thas hadn't been back to Quel'Thalas for many years.

But what about now? It's completely different from what they imagined! Now here, not only are there no mages, silver moon guards, and rangers in charge of stationing here, but even this teleportation platform, which was originally paved with tough marble slabs, has changed beyond recognition! They've all gone, including a beautiful red-roofed wooden elf-style cottage next to it!

The smooth floor that was originally engraved with the magic circle has now become a pile of broken and scorched gravel, and the beautiful hut has even disappeared! There, there were only a few scorched wooden stakes buried deep in the soil, emitting a little smoke...

At this moment, it should have been a sunny afternoon, under the rays of the sun, the golden oak trees began to reflect the golden light, complementing the beautiful city, it was time for the high elves to drink leisurely afternoon tea!

However, the sky here is now gray, and what is spreading in the air are those mist-like floating dust. They smell, and they also exude a disgusting smell like rusty metal, which is simply disgusting!

Prince Kael'thas even felt a strong radiant energy residue in the air, he didn't know why it was like this! Where did these radioactive dust come from? What's the matter with that huge mushroom cloud in the sky that hasn't dissipated yet?

The most important thing is: Who can tell him Prince Kael'thas! Where is the magnificent, beautiful and luxurious magic capital of his family, the Silvermoon City of the high elves? Under this teleportation circle platform, why are there only a bunch of broken eaves and broken walls at the original location of Silver Moon City? What happened to the big pit in the middle of the city? Could it be that a big meteorite fell from the sky?

If Kael'thas hadn't been able to conclude that this was indeed their Silvermoon City through the comparison of the surrounding terrain that had been burned beyond recognition, he almost thought that he had teleported to the wrong place!

"Why is this happening..., in just a few days, what happened here in Quel'Thalas? What about the others? What about Father and the others?"

Kael'thas seemed to have been hit by a huge blow, and he sat down on the ground, lowered his head and whispered, letting his beautiful blond hair hang down on the dirty ground. Now, his lips are trembling a little.

Just a few days ago, he had contacted his father in the palace of Silvermoon City. In the magic communication, they chatted with each other about some anecdotes that happened between Dalaran and Silvermoon City. Prince Kael'thas While joking around at the time, they reported the great changes that had taken place in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. At that time, their father and son sighed and gloated many times,

They still laughed at the stupid Menethil royal family in the communication, which destroyed the mighty Kingdom of Lordaeron overnight...

But now, look, retribution is coming! He, Kael'thas, came back today to take a look. Their Quel'Thalas was actually the same as the Kingdom of Lordaeron. In just a few days, it was gone? Was it really hit by the prophet that Jaina met? Is the Eastern Continent destined to be a world of death?

No one cared about Prince Kael'thas who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, and the attendants next to him all had uglier faces now! They were looking around in a daze with desolate expressions, and they didn't know why Silvermoon City became what it was before them!

Their homes and their relatives are all in Silvermoon City, but what about now? The entire Silvermoon City is gone, and the surrounding area has been burnt to the ground! Not only the city, but even the tall and beautiful golden oak trees in Eversong Forest were burned! Looking at the past now, it's all scorched earth...

"Who's over there? Who the hell! Undead? Or elves?"

When Kael'thas and his entourage fell into panic and helplessness, and were about to burst into tears, there was a sudden burst of shouting and questioning in the distance, on the dust-filled hillside, and then several feathered arrows flew from the A lasing shot came from below and directly nailed to the ground in front of several people. If they dare not answer, the next round of arrow rain will probably be aimed at their bodies!

"I am Kael'thas! Kael'thas? Sunstrider! Who are you?"

After hearing someone questioning himself and others in the familiar and friendly Salas language in the distance, Kael'thas stood up quickly and answered loudly.

Since the other party was using the language of the high elves and shot the arrows specially designed for the high elf rangers, he must be one of his own. He desperately wanted to find an elf who knew the truth. Kael'thas wanted to know immediately. What happened here in Silvermoon City, in the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas? !

"His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas?"

After hearing the reply, the group of about ten high elves slowly approached the teleportation platform above from the dust mist all over the sky. Each of them wore goggles and covered themselves with thick numbness. nose and mouth.

Today, after the big bang, the high-level mage Filundre volunteered to follow a group of ten ranger troops to Silvermoon City to investigate the situation.

As a high-level mage, Firendre really knows what this level of explosion means! After knowing that the explosion was caused by a special bomb thrown by Mage Anne, he realized that it was probably some new type of magic weapon!

Therefore, as a mage, of course he must find an opportunity to come here as soon as possible to study it! Besides, after the big bang, he didn't think there were any undead here that could threaten them, and they were just scouting. If they really encountered a large group of undead, they would just run away! Anyway, there will be no danger!

At that time, after they received the order of the ranger lord Lor'themar, when the explosion slowly subsided, more than 20 of them divided into two groups and set off. One of the groups was responsible for investigating the movements of the undead in the south of Eversong Forest, while Fei Rendley's group is responsible for scouting around Silvermoon City.

When they approached here, after a simple investigation, everything turned out to be as Filundre had guessed. There were no living undead in a large area inside and outside Silvermoon City! Presumably, they were all destroyed under the big explosion in Silvermoon City. The hundreds of thousands of undead who were aggressive in the morning have all been reduced to nothing! For the high elves, there is simply no better news than this!

While the rangers were scattered for investigation, Fiorendre also took the time to analyze and sample a part of the nearby soil and the floating dust in the air. After a while of simple research, he soon discovered that these ups and downs contained strong radioactive energy. Could it be that such a powerful weapon was made of radioactive magic materials? Therefore, when he was unclear for the time being, he hurriedly asked them all to cover their faces with sackcloth and wear goggles to prevent further damage from radiation dust.

After observing the situation in the ruins of Silvermoon City from the outside, Ferendre did not dare to lead the rangers in rashly. , is still emitting high temperature and deadly radiation, he will not be stupid enough to lead a team in to seek death!

Therefore, after confirming that the undead were basically wiped out, he planned to lead the team directly back to Darthweather Bay. After all, the radiation around here was quite strong, so there was no need to stay here any longer.

But he never thought that when they passed by the path under the original teleportation circle outside the city, Fiorendre suddenly discovered that there was a wave of teleportation coming from the magic circle that should have been blown up, so, He hurriedly led the rangers to touch it up quietly to find out...

"It's really His Royal Highness! That's great! It's really you!"

Wary of Firendre, who was slowly approaching, he finally shouted happily after seeing the wool and clothing of several people on the ruins of the teleportation circle! Great! His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas is back!

"Your Highness! It's me! I'm the high-ranking mage Firendre! You're finally back!" Firendre whimpered, tore off the sackcloth and goggles from his mask, and threw himself directly at Kael'thas In front of him, he performed a half-kneeling salute.

"Firendre? That's it! Don't be too polite! Get up! Now, please tell me! What happened here?" This is what Kael'thas desperately wants to know! As for Fiorendre? He can't even remember such a person, he has long forgotten that there is such a name!

"Your Highness, this has to start with the invasion of the undead. It's a long story, and it won't be clear for a while. Let's hurry back to Darthwether Bay. Our clansmen are all there now. Lord Sylvanas will tell you everything you want to know..."

After putting on the goggles and the sackcloth to cover his mouth and nose again, Filundre planned to let the prince and his highness represent this terrible place first!

Now Firendre can be regarded as completely convinced by Cirvanas. If she hadn't forcibly ordered all the citizens to prepare for evacuation as soon as she came back yesterday, he couldn't even imagine whether he could still escape from the fangs of the undead. Those 200,000 clansmen who escaped from the sharp claws?

"Sirvanas? Isn't she a ranger general? When did she become a duke? How is this possible?" Kael'thas felt sad at the same time, what happened in Quel'Thalas during this period of time, It was definitely beyond his imagination!

"Your Highness! Let's leave here first, let's talk about it when we go back. You must have noticed that the dust in the air here has very deadly energy radiation. If you inhale a large amount, you may be in trouble! After all, we have too many wounded now. The priests are almost overwhelmed, without the help of the priests, the radiation damage will be very troublesome to treat!"
