Chapter 1780??( ?? ??)? Pandaren Dinner
“…”
Looking in the distance, looking at the large group of heavy knights (Paladins) in the floating island barracks who were happily returning from the portal. As ambassadors of the empire's mission to the floating island messenger group, Egbelt, the commander of the Black Dragon Legion, subconsciously frowned and fell into deep thought.
He saw that the other party had a powerful military force in this floating city of unknown origin, not only could the mature large portal to deliver troops at a long distance. The exaggerated and dangerous means made Egbelt feel that things became more difficult, and at the same time he felt more afraid of the floating island forces.
You should know that even their empire does not have the power of a mage who operates a floating island and the strength of teleporting a large army from a long distance.
Especially yesterday, when they first came, they saw the Kalsas people outside the Silver Moon City and learned that the other party seemed to have some subtle connection with a queen here, he became more and more suspicious about whether they could complete their predetermined goals when they went to the floating island this time.
"Morgan!"
"Liat went to find out the news, haven't come back yet?"
After looking for a while, I didn't know whether the people on the island arranged themselves and others in this tall tower on purpose or unintentional Egbelt, and finally had to knock on the guardrail in annoyance, and turned around with a gloomy expression and asked the obscene follower behind him.
That Leon was specially arranged to protect him by Leon, who was not worried about his thought tank and the head of the four generals, who came here in person. Just now, the other party was arranged by Egbelt to inquire about the reasons for the heavy cavalry (Paladin) going to fight.
"He has been out for a while, and he should be coming back soon, right?"
"or……"
"I'll send someone to see it again?"
Looking at the place like a barracks in the distance, seeing the large portal where the teleportation troops returned slowly dissipated, the vulgar Morgan thought for a while, then asked with a flattering smile.
"No need to send!"
"Report!"
"Mr. Egerbelt, I'm back!"
At this time, without waiting for Egbelt to reply, a sound full of energy sounded.
Then, the adjutant of the Blue Dragon Knights in green imperial cavalry armor, Leat, walked to the ornate decorative, Quel's-Salas-style tower, and walked straight to Egbelt on the terrace by the window, clenched his fists and saluted.
“Um…”
"Just come back!"
"how?"
"They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"Have you asked clearly what those heavy cavalry... and their purpose of going to the expedition?"
Seeing Liat come back, Egbelt walked into the hall and asked.
Actually, Egerbelt doesn't have much expectations for whether Leat can find out what it is.
Thinking about it, that was, after all, that was a military operation. Although it seemed that it had ended and returned now, these envoys of their empire were still outsiders. If he was the commander here, he had deliberately displayed some of the military power as a demonstration and show-off before, it would be the limit and it would be impossible to reveal more information.
"yes!"
"I've asked clearly!"
"Those heavy cavalry are paladins of the Holy Light Church, named 'Silver Hand'. I don't know the specific number, but I guess that there are nearly 10,000 people on this island alone, and all of them are heavy cavalry with the 'Divine Power of Light' called 'Holy Light'!"
"They belong to the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the Azeroth Empire's Lordaeron Alliance, and their queen seems to be a queen named Jalia Minaiheil?"
"However, they also seemed to follow the orders of another queen named Anne Hasta, and said that the other party was the leader of their Fire Alliance?"
"This military operation was because one of their flame queens was surrounded by tens of thousands of monsters, so they were dispatched urgently!"
Leart did not hide anything at all and simply said everything he knew.
However, he was a little confused about what was going on with the Lordaeron League and the Fire Alliance.
“Hmm?”
"strangeness……"
"Where is the Azeroth Empire?"
"Also, how can the relationship between them be so complicated to figure out?"
Egerbelt frowned, he seemed a little confused.
After all, Liat just said that it was an empire, an alliance, a kingdom, and two queens, who were different and led each other. So what was going on?
And that's...
The news he received in the past two days also made him feel entangled, such as:
The demons named Night Elf and High Elf are actually hostile to each other, but they have a common queen named Azshara, "Light of Light"?
At the same time, the green-skinned orcs, humans, high elves, night elves, etc. all seem to have serious hostility, but it does not prevent them from staying in this city in a noble way?
And that kind of fire elemental clan doesn't care about anyone except their queen, but it can cooperate with the management of other races on this floating island to carry out daily security and defense work, which is very wrong!
besides……
Those Stormwind City soldiers carrying the Lionheart shield are obviously humans, and they are also humans in the Lordaeron Alliance, but they seem to have some kind of rift with the soldiers of the Lordaeron Kingdom and the heavy cavalry who have just set out to fight?
Anyway!
The chaotic and dependent relationship between the various races on this island and the kingdoms. Egbelt became more and more chaotic. He had no idea how the other party gathered the different races and kingdoms with hostility and rifts under the command of the Azeroth Empire, and could still live peacefully on this floating island.
Of course, what made Egerbelt even more heartbreaking was that where did they come from the Azeroth Empire?
Why did the other party suddenly send so many people here, and almost emptied the Yanfeng Valley Mountains without knowing it and floated into the sky to become a floating island, and built such a gorgeous large city and fortress palace, and also stationed at least tens of thousands of elite troops. What was the point of pressing?
As far as Egbelt knows, in this world, whether it is the continent of Elusalia or another continent on the other side of the sea, it seems that there is no empire called Azeroth!
What's worse is that when the empire was about to defeat the Kingdom of Kalsas and plan to unify the continent next, the other party came here and stared at the border between the empire and the former Kalsas. What exactly do they want to do?
All of the above are things that Egerbert urgently needs to figure out now, and it is also the biggest gains he has insisted on coming here in person. If someone else came here, I would probably not have thought of so many things or seen such complicated things.
“Mr. Egerbelt?”
"My Excellency the Legion?"
Seeing Egbelt suddenly fell into deep thought, and didn't know what he was thinking about, after waiting for a while, finally, Leat had to speak gently to awaken the other party.
“!!”
"All right……"
"You continue talking, why do they have to go to conflict with those demons this time?"
After coming to his senses, he shook his head first, and threw away all the chaotic thoughts just now. Then Egbelt signaled Leat to continue talking.
If the demons and the Azeroth Empire were in conflict with each other, which led to the other party coming here at this critical moment and affecting the empire's great cause, perhaps Egbelt would have to discuss the cooperative relationship between the empire and the demons Pozanlu immediately after returning.
Of course, he was not afraid of this Azeroth Empire.
Although the strength the other party has shown is already very terrifying, he just doesn't want to easily get into evil with the other party before he figures out the other party's true intention, especially at this critical moment when the empire is about to complete the great cause of unification.
"this……"
"I heard it was to save someone?"
"Feel sorry!"
"The commander of the Egerbert Legion, Bei Yi only found out that it seemed that a woman was kidnapped by the demons. Then the dragon knight ran back to bring reinforcements, and then one of their queens followed."
"And then, the queen seemed to be surrounded, and next, the Knights of the 'Silver Hand' were urgently summoned and set off on the expedition."
"You should have seen the rest here, so I won't go into details about the humble position."
Seeing the puzzled eyes that Egerbert cast, Leat did not dare to hide it at all, and hurriedly told some more specific information that he had not reported just now.
“Um…”
"So that's what it is..."
Nodding, Egerbert expressed his understanding.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that this floating island and the Azeroth forces have officially had a fierce conflict with the demons, which has become a certain fact. Then, next, the empire will more or less adjust its cooperative relationship with the demons and Pozanlu.
"By the way!"
“How much do they lose?”
"How many are the gains?"
From the cheerful look of those guys named Paladins when they came back, it was not difficult for Egerbelt to guess that the other party must have been triumphant, but he also wanted to know more specific things so that he could make a good assessment.
“…”
It would be fine if I didn't talk about this, but when I talked about this, Leat's face suddenly became ugly.
"What's wrong?"
“What’s the problem?”
Egbelt also noticed it, and then quickly frowned and asked.
"That's right!"
"This time, the Paladins of the Silver Hand dispatched about five thousand cavalry, and there were two Paladin lords. The number of demons they killed was nearly eight thousand, and their own losses were..."
"yes……"
"zero!!"
Although he couldn't believe it, Liat finally hesitated to tell the situation of the war between the two sides he learned.
“!!”
"What did you just say?!"
"Report to the Legion Commander!"
"It is reported that those Paladins have lost no money!"
"snort!"
"This is impossible!"
"But!"
"Your Excellency, that seems to be the fact!"
Although Liat himself was a little unbelievable, judging from the cheerful appearances, cheerful expressions and the fact that he saw the Paladins at the scene, it is likely that it is true!
"this……"
"Because of that kind of light power that restrains the demon clan?"
The Templars and monk soldiers in the Temple of Light have restrained effects when fighting against monsters. Egbelt has known it for a long time, but five thousand can fight against more than ten thousand monsters to kill 8,000 enemies, and he dare not believe that his own record of zero casualties.
In his opinion, even if the most elite Qinglong Knights in the empire were five thousand heavy cavalry to fight against the 10,000 demon army, even if they won in the end, they would definitely suffer a considerable loss, but now...
"But I remember, they should not be the knights of the goddess of faith, are they?"
"Those Paladins, are they the queen Azshara who believes in the 'Light of Light'?"
While confused and shocked, Egbelt continued to ask.
"Not it!"
"They are paladins of the 'Church of the Holy Light', and they believe in an existence called 'Holy Light'!"
I don’t know which big mouth Liat heard so much important news from. Anyway, he seemed to know a lot and said it one by one.
"What about the Holy Light?"
“…”
“Hmm?”
"Is there anything you have?"
Just as Egbelt was listening to Leat's report and began to ponder again, suddenly, the entourage of an imperial envoy walked into the outside spiral stairs, forced Egbelt to interrupt his thoughts and looked up and asked.
"Report!"
"The people on Floating Island just heard the news that their queen is back. Tonight, we will be treated to the palace of flames!"
"I heard..."
“Invite us to a meal prepared by Chef Panda?”
The Imperial Army's entourage did not hesitate and reported loudly.
"oh?"
"Which queen's banquet was it?"
"besides!"
"Has Karthas's people also been feasted?"
Egbelt, who frowned and didn't know which queen, thought about it, then continued to ask.
After all, he knew that there seemed to be many queens on this floating island?
"Well..."
"terribly sorry!"
"Your Excellency, they didn't say it, and we didn't remember to ask..."
The entourage did not expect that the commander of the Egbelt Legion would ask such questions, so he was stunned at first, and then, thinking that he had not done anything well, he lowered his head apologetically.
"alright."
"I get it, you go back!"
Since he didn't ask and the person who came to invite him did not specifically explain, Egbelt could not do so, so he had to give up.
Then he signaled that Liat could also retreat.
Because he had to prepare for the evening banquet, raise his spirits, bring their gifts, and think carefully about how to deal with it. Then, he had to inquire about it and see what it meant to park the floating island above the empire territory?
