Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis

"And Lord Uther and several elite paladins. Although the paladins' holy light and the night elves' natural forces are from different sources, they both represent order and protection, which might reduce some potential hostility," Rhodes said.

First, I definitely have to go, Jaina has to go too, and the high elf Caponia—Rhodes had already asked her about her on the ship—she understands the night elf language, so the two sides can communicate, and she doesn't show much hostility when she sees fellow night elves.

When Tyrande and her companions arrived in the Eastern Kingdoms, they helped Kael'thas. As for the paladins, the power of the Holy Light does not cause the night elves to reject them.

In the future, she could be transformed from a priestess into a paladin, and more importantly, Uther's weapon belongs to Tyr, the Titan Keeper, and the night elves know of the Titan Keeper's existence.

They even have a good relationship with the guardian dragon, which is an advantage that can be utilized.

"Lord Uther, it is indeed reassuring to have him around."

It's settled then. Before the Prince of Trade arrives and we make initial arrangements, you can conduct short-distance explorations to familiarize yourselves with the surrounding environment.

"Once we have a clear plan for supplies and city construction, then you can set off to search for the Night Elves." After a moment's thought, Galiya nodded and said.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Rhodes nodded.

The two exchanged opinions on details such as the initial management of the camp and the allocation of resources, and did not return to rest until night fell.

That evening, Rhodes went to Jaina's residence again and told the sorceress what had happened. Jaina also expressed her willingness to act with Rhodes.

Uther had no objections, and Caponia also expressed her willingness to communicate with the night elves.

"Then I'll leave this to you, ma'am."

"No problem, Your Excellency Rhodes. And I have some good news to tell you."

The anti-magic gem you gave us has now been installed.

We've found the correct way to use it; you can use it to craft anti-magic weapons, anti-magic armor, anti-magic shields, and the like in the future.

"You can rest assured that we will handle all the engraving, enchanting, and gem setting," Caponia said.

During this time, Rhodes had already asked the high elves to take a look at the anti-magic diamond, which is a type of diamond that can resist magic.

The high elves' jewelers and sculptors became very interested and, after research, discovered that the anti-magic metal could be used to forge weapons and armor.

It can also be woven into chainmail, or even made into gold thread and then woven into soft armor for mages to wear.

The high elves also made use of diamonds, which can resist magic, setting them in rings and necklaces to make ornaments, and embedding them in weapons or shields—all viable options.

"It's good that you've solved this problem, madam. In the meantime, I'll have the dwarven artisans use anti-magic metal to forge more equipment for the paladins."

We will also provide you with a large quantity of raw materials. After the dwarves have crafted the equipment, you will be responsible for engraving, enchanting, and setting diamonds.

"When our squad sets off, I hope everyone has a piece of anti-magic gear. We'll be leaving in about five or six days." After saying this, Rhodes handed several tons of diamonds and several tons of wear-resistant metal to the high elf.

“You are very generous, Lord Rhodes, but we can’t use this many weapons just to build a small squad.”

"I also have to pay you some fees for the craftsmanship, the enchanting, and the glyphs, don't I?"

"Haha, then I'll accept it, Lord Rhodes. We can exchange magical insights sometime," the high elf mage said with a smile.

Rhodes smiled and nodded, chatted with the high elf mage for a while longer, and then took his leave.

On the morning of the third day, Rhodes, Jaina, Caponia, Uther, and Princess Calia were strolling outside the camp.

Suddenly, a raven flew in from a distance and landed in front of them. In a cloud of purple smoke, it transformed into an old man wearing a brown robe.

Upon seeing this, Uther immediately stood in front of Princess Calia, and the female elf mage also looked wary. Only Rhodes and Jaina knew who had come.

Rhodes raised his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous, then stepped forward, intending to have a good chat with this former guardian.

“Young wizards and witches, and young princess, you have arrived earlier than I expected. I thought you would arrive in half a month!” said the Guardian Medivh.

The human forces set off later; the orc fleet departed about two months earlier. They were delayed for more than half a month on a troll archipelago before they were able to set sail again.

They had only arrived on the continent of Kalimdor a few days ago, but unexpectedly, the humans hired goblins to use a magical ship, arriving in Kalimdor almost at the same time as the orcs.

Upon discovering the arrival of humans, he rushed over immediately.

Chapter 113 The Prophet's Message: Silvermoon City and Dalaran Fall

“You’ve come at just the right time, great prophet. We followed your guidance and came to the continent of Kalimdor, and we were just wondering where to find you,” Rhodes said, stepping forward and nodding slightly.

“Hello, great prophet. You warned my father of the impending doom, but he did not listen to you, and we Lordaeron paid a terrible price for it.”

"Now, following your guidance, we have arrived at this new continent." Princess Galiya stepped forward and bowed.

This mysterious prophet had visited Lordaeron while his father was still alive and issued a warning, but the entire leadership of Lordaeron, including his father King Terenas, did not believe him.

But now it seems that the other party had foreseen this disaster and realized that it was inevitable.

"Your father and your brothers should heed my advice and, if they are willing, go to the continent of Kalimdor."

"Then none of the tragedies would have happened. Unfortunately, I've done my best," Medivh sighed.

After his death, his soul wandered the astral plane until his mother, the previous Guardian Aegwynn, used her immense power to resurrect him.

While wandering through that space, he also discovered the Burning Legion's plot.

There he witnessed Kil'jaeden's invasion plan of Azeroth and learned of the demon lord's scheme. After learning all this, he immediately began to prepare to deal with the Burning Legion.

“Your Excellency, you have sent us to Kalimdor, so how are we to deal with the threat you have mentioned? What should we do next?” Jaina asked as she stepped forward.

"First, I want to tell you the real mastermind behind this invasion of Azeroth. It is not the Scourge that you know..." Medivh was interrupted just as he was about to tell everyone about the Burning Legion.

“Your Excellency Prophet, the Titan Guardian behind Rhodes has already told us the whole story. The Scourge is not the mastermind. The mastermind is the Burning Legion, which invaded our world ten thousand years ago. Is that what you mean?” Uther asked.

Medivh was somewhat surprised by these words. How did these people know about the Burning Legion?

Medivh looked up at Uther, then, after observing the silver hand hammer in the other's hand, he showed a look of shock, followed by a hint of understanding.

As a former Guardian of Azeroth, he inherited much knowledge from his mother, as well as the ancient handmaids of Karazhan, a Titan creation.

Therefore, it's natural to know the origin of the Silver Hand warhammer in Uther's hands. It seems that besides himself, many ancient beings are also paying attention to this invasion.

Thank goodness, Azeroth is not beyond saving; the Titan Keepers ultimately did not give up on the world.

I thought this battle would have to rely on mortals themselves, but I never expected that the Titan Guardians would also secretly intervene.

It seems that all the magical items this wizard named Rhodes possesses come from the Titan Guardians.

"You're right. The real threat this time is the Burning Legion, an army that has destroyed countless worlds."

The terrifying demon legion that burned countless planets, conquered east and west, north and south, and was invincible and unstoppable.

Ten thousand years ago, these demons finally met their match: the night elves, whose race produced several heroes.

They thwarted the Burning Legion's plot and prevented the demon lord Sargeras from entering our world.

Centuries ago, the Guardian Aegwynn defeated an avatar of Sargeras, the Lord of the Burning Legion, on the continent of Northrend, thwarting once again the Burning Legion's plot to burn our world.

But now, due to the Scourge's actions, Dalaran has fallen, and Archimonde, one of the Burning Legion's two commanders, is under attack.

He has already led a portion of his elite demon army to our world, and they are now heading towards Kalimdor.

If mortals want to win this war, they must put aside all hatred and prejudice and unite to have any chance of victory.

Therefore I have summoned you to Kalimdor: humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, trolls, tauren, and the night elves of this land.

"We must unite to defeat the Burning Legion and save our world," Medivh said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised. They never expected that after drifting at sea for more than half a month, Dalaran would fall!

“How is this possible, Prophet? Do you know the power of Dalaran? Our Prince Kael'thas is there, it’s impossible for him to…” High Elf mage Kaponya immediately questioned.

Although Dalaran is a rising star, in some respects, its technology has already surpassed that of Quel'Thalas.

Moreover, the Scourge should have suffered heavy losses in Quel'Thalas, so how could they possibly have the energy to attack Dalaran?

"Unfortunately, there are some things you don't know. Just a few days after you set off, the high elves' Silvermoon City fell."

Your Sun King has fallen in battle, and the Sunwell has been corrupted by Arthas and used to resurrect the lich Kel'Thuzad.

"The high elves suffered heavy casualties; even your ranger-general Sylvanas has fallen in battle, or rather, has been resurrected as an undead." Medivh dropped another bombshell.

This terrifying news shocked everyone present, except for Rhodes, of course.

After all, he still had a mole within the Scourge, before the Lich King ran into trouble.

Rhodes's orders to Stronk were simple: obey all the Lich King's commands. Although he was on the airship, Rhodes kept track of news from the Eastern Kingdoms.

He knew about the fall of Silvermoon City in Quel'Thalas and the fall of the Dalarans.

"That's impossible! You're lying! How could we possibly have perished? Do you know how powerful we High Elves are?"

"We have triple magical protection, and we also have the great Windrunner General Sylvanas." The first one who couldn't accept reality was Caponia.

Like all high elves, they believed Quel'Thalas was impregnable and impossible to conquer.

"I know you don't believe me, but everything I've said is true, and I think the news will reach you soon."

It is regrettable that a traitor has appeared in Silvermoon City. This traitor opened the barrier for the Scourge, allowing the Scourge army to enter your homeland.

Sylvanas is dead and has been transformed into a terrifying banshee; nothing can be changed.

"This...this is impossible! Damn it, Lord Rhodes! Please allow us to return immediately! I need to verify this terrible news!" At this point, the high elf mage was already considering retreating, as were the other high elf mages who had come with her.

“Calm down, Caponia. Remember your orders for coming here. There’s no point in you going back if you don’t defeat the Burning Legion. We’ll return to the Eastern Kingdoms after we defeat the Burning Legion, and then we can truly save your kingdom,” Rhodes said.

Just kidding, the high elves can't leave, at least not until Archimonde is blown up. After Archimonde is blown up, I'll go with you.

This time, Rhodes has no intention of turning the high elves into blood elves to join the Horde; the Horde's most attractive members are mine.

“Yes, Ms. Caponia, don’t worry, we will definitely help you,” Princess Galiya quickly reassured her.

"So, Prophet, how is our dwarven city doing?"

"Apart from Dalaran and Silvermoon City falling, the other cities are fine, but there is one thing you can rest assured about."

The Scourge and the majority of the demonic armies that descended upon Azeroth have already gone to Kalimdor, leaving only a small portion behind in the Eastern Kingdoms.

"Furthermore, Kael'thas, the prince of the high elves, has already returned to his homeland to take charge of the overall situation. Currently, Kalimdor is the main battlefield," Medivh said.

He also didn't want these high elf mages to go back, because they would be needed for the upcoming battle.

"Then, Prophet, may I tell you what your plans are? For example, a plan to defeat the Burning Legion?" Rhodes asked.

Everyone else's eyes also turned to the prophet in front of them.

"I have already said that you all need to unite, whether you are orcs or humans, you must put aside your ancient hatred."

You may now lead your armies to Silicon Valley. I will guide the orcs to join you. This time, the Horde and the Alliance must unite.

"What? You want us to join forces with those beastmen?"
