Chapter 139 The Night Elves in Reverse

To be honest, Archdruid Fandral Staghelm is also wary of Galen. Once the Covenant completely defeats the Alliance and becomes the Eastern Kingdom, he will become the new evil dragon to replace the Alliance.

Galen's generation may not be able to expand to Kalimdor, but what about the subsequent human rulers?

The elves have a much longer lifespan than other mortal races. Therefore, as a leader, Archdruid Fandral Staghelm will look at the problem with a longer-term perspective.

Once an alliance is formed, there will be many constraints, just like the Sun King Anasterian of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas owed a favor to Emperor Thoradin, and it took thousands of years to pay it back.

So if the night elves join the Alliance and owe a favor to fight against the tribe together, will they also have to pay it back for tens of thousands of years?

The current situation of the night elves is very similar to that of the high elves of Quel'Thalas back then. They all chose to form an alliance with more distant enemies to fight together because of the enemies in the middle.

So will the night elves be the second Quel'Thalas?

This made Archdruid Fandral Staghelm make a comparison.

After cooperating with the Alliance and solving the Horde, the Night Elves could not expand to the southern part of Kalimdor, so the southern part of Kalimdor, which was in the no-man's land, would inevitably be seized by humans using Theramore as a springboard.

Humans learned the way of mages from the high elves and established the disordered city of mages, Dalaran, which led to several crises of the Burning Legion.

So what if humans want to learn the way of druids from the Night Elves? Will there be a second druid Dalaran?

Joining the Alliance is like seeking the skin of a tiger. High Priest Tyrande only saw the immediate benefits, but ignored the more distant future. This is why Archdruid Fandral said that High Priest Tyrande would lead their people to destruction.

Like the Cenarion Circle, recruiting adventurers from all races in the name of a neutral force, and being popular in both places, isn't it safer and more stable than simply joining the Alliance?

Didn't you see that after Dalaran left the Alliance and became a neutral organization, it was not affected at all, but flourished?

Being neutral in name but actually standing on the same side, you will not be bound by allies and favors.

It must be said that Archdruid Fandral's foresight is superior to that of High Priest Tyrande and Archdruid Malfurion.

Another thing that can also prove that Archdruid Fandral is more far-sighted is the issue of Tauren Druids.

In ancient times, Tauren also had a druid heritage, but due to the genocide of the Centaurs, the Tauren Druid Way was gradually cut off.

However, after the Ragnarok Battle, Archdruid Malfurion once again restored the Tauren's heritage of the Druid Way and accepted Tauren Druids to join the Cenarion Circle.

Archdruid Fandral strongly opposed this matter, and one of the main reasons for this was the warning of Dalaran.

Dalaran can be said to have a common share of humans and high elves, but with the development of time, Dalaran gradually became a city completely dominated by humans, and the high elves' influence on Dalaran became less and less.

The blood elves themselves said that the decline in the influence of the high elves on Dalaran was largely due to the fact that the high elves were not as focused on Dalaran affairs as humans. After paying in the past, they were more accustomed to staying at home to study magic in the future. After hundreds of years, the new human mages simply forgot the contributions of the previous high elves.

The night elves are even more terrifying than the high elves. With the lifespan of the tauren, it is impossible for them to stay in the Emerald Dream for a long time, while the night elf druids have to stay in the Emerald Dream for hundreds or thousands of years. With such a long time, the tauren druids can completely subvert the control of the night elf druids over the Cenarion Circle like the humans in Dalaran.

Moreover, compared to the high elves, who have more outstanding talents in arcane than humans (arcane affinity is not covered, the reason why there are so many human archmages is that their way of learning is to draw, not to practice by themselves), the night elves' talent in druids is not even as good as that of the tauren.

Hamuul Runetotem is a typical example. It has only been a short time since he found the druid way, but Hamuul Runetotem has grown rapidly to a talent comparable to that of an archdruid.

The real talent of the night elves should still be arcane. Under the influence of the Well of Eternity, they evolved from dark trolls to elves, and their greatest talent is the talent for arcane.

Unfortunately, the current society of the night elves refuses to use magic and arcane.

The rich land in northern Kalimdor is enough to accommodate tens of millions of people, but how many people are there in the night elves?

The biggest problem of the night elves should actually be the problem of reproduction. Archdruid Malfurion and High Priest Tyrande set an example for the night elves to develop an indifferent character towards reproduction.

With the rich land and resources in northern Kalimdor, the night elves can completely suppress the tribe living in the barren land of central Kalimdor.

But the result is that the night elves will be brushed by the tribe several times in the future.

How could reproducing offspring be as important as sleeping in the Emerald Dream or playing with dried bananas?

Even if the night elves could defeat the Horde and dominate Kalimdor once again, what would happen after that? Their pitiful fertility rate, coupled with the loss of immortality, could easily lead to their own disappearance due to negative population growth rates.

Archdruid Fandral Staghelm understood that only the new generation was the future of a race. He placed his hopes on his son, Valstann, but unfortunately, Valstann died in battle.

Archdruid Malfurion and High Priest Tyrande were saviors and heroes, but they were not qualified leaders.

Under their leadership, the night elf society completely reversed, from the peak of the elven empire to the primitive jungle life. All kinds of advanced magic technology were not inherited, resulting in the inability to defeat the orcs' catapults...

Before the Ragnarok War, only male night elves could join the Cenarion Circle to learn druids, and only female night elves could join the Sentinel Corps to learn sentinels, resulting in most night elves. Men and women could not come into contact. If it were not for the eternal lifespan, the night elves would probably have disappeared.

Their own infertility indirectly led to a sharp decline in the overall fertility rate of the night elves. The high elves of Quel'Thalas multiplied several times over the generations. If it were not for the invasion of the Scourge, the population would have surpassed the night elves.

With eternal lifespan, a physique that is immune to all poisons, the Well of Eternity, the World Tree, and an elite army strong enough to resist the Burning Legion, it can be said that the night elves had the best start, but were eventually beaten to pieces.
