Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth rapid retreat
With a shocking fire in the Massacre Valley, the troll war that stretched across the northern part of the Eastern Continent finally came to an end.
Most of the elite Amani soldiers connected with the powerful Loa were burned to pieces. Only a very small number escaped from the valley and hurriedly escaped into the mountains and forests and disappeared without a trace.
The battle that focused all its energy ended, the elderly Soladin calmed down from his excited state, and strong fatigue began to attack him.
In order to complete the ambushing of the trolls, Soladin, who was only 60 years old, personally took action as bait. He ran back and forth on the vast land in the northern part of the mainland in just a few months, and his sleep time and quality were obviously insufficient, so his body began to be unable to hold on.
Humans in this era can live to 60 years old, which is definitely considered an old age. Soladin truly realized the fact that he was no longer young in this war, which made him think of abdicating and reclusive after the victory of the war.
The grand celebration banquet was held in the Fortress of Otlank, the front line fortress, which witnessed victory. The Sun King Annasteria, who was busy with domestic affairs, sent him to the banquet with great relief.
With the help of mankind, the senior Quel's Thalas who participated in the banquet was still a little uncomfortable.
Annasteria was very natural, and he and Soladin were talking and discussing the details of the war.
After some exchanges, Soladin learned about the two forces operating behind this battlefield.
Not only did they have two dedicated night elves military advisers on their side, but they also had their sect leader Zandala behind them.
This feeling of being used as a chess piece by others on the board is not very pleasant for any promising king.
But Soladin was the wise monarch who created human history after all, and under the instructions of the Sun King, he quickly let go of his unhappiness.
Anyway, the night elves have put a lot of effort behind this battle.
The training of the Alasso soldiers improved their discipline, and the alliance with Quel'thalas was quickly promoted and they were quietly connecting the bridge.
This is the same for Annasteria.
Although when the two tribes are in a state of coldness, as long as the Kingdom of Alasso receives a request for help from Quel'thalas, there is a high chance that the time for the alliance to be reached and the speed of the sending of troops will not be so fast.
Alasso's efficient aid kept the death toll in Quel'thalas within a barely acceptable range.
If Amani breaks through the defense line of Qingfeng Village, the Yinyue City, which has not been tightly defended, will be directly exposed to the troll's barbaric soldiers, and the elves scattered throughout the Yongge Forest will also suffer a more serious blow.
After the conversation was over, Soladin and Annasteria began chatting with alcohol and the atmosphere of the banquet.
"Sun King, you said that beautiful lady who looks younger than my daughter is yours..."
Seeing Soladin's expression of astonishment, Annasteria smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, she is my grandfather's sister, I should call her aunt."
"this……"
Soladin asked with a dazed look on his face, "Forgive me, this lady...and the other night elves around her, how old are they?"
High elves had contact with humans in the land of Tirisfalin in their early years, and their longevity had long been known to humans.
For humans who have only a life of less than a hundred years, high elves with a lifespan of nearly 4,000 years are enviable enough. Unexpectedly, there are even higher mountains outside this mountain.
Annasteria chuckled and shook the wine glass in her hand. "I don't know the specific age of others, but my aunt, Selase, should be... over 7,000 years old this year."
“7000…”
Soladin smiled bitterly and drank the Quelsalas wine in his glass, a number that was unimaginable to him.
Feeling the feeling of weakness brought by your body, the gap becomes even more serious.
‘The seed of immortality… Why do humans only have a few decades of life? Is it because we suffered a curse?’
No matter how wise a king is, he cannot escape an eternal problem in his later years - the pursuit of immortality.
It is better to say that the more wise the king is, the more persistent he is to live forever, because they do not want the great cause they have created to decline in the hands of their descendants.
Judging from Andrea's experience brought by the earth, the kings within three generations of each dynasty will be more wise. After experiencing war, they cherish the hard-won peace and care more about the education of their descendants.
But as peace continues, the kings after three generations will begin to enjoy themselves, and the once powerful dynasties will gradually begin to decline. This is a very normal development law.
The world's general trend is that long-term unity will be divided, and long-term unity will be combined. This sentence is not just a joke. The change of dynasties is the case.
The ancestors conquer the world, and the younger generations defeat the world.
The immortality of various countries and dynasties on earth only exists in fantasy after all. At least before Andrea traveled through time, science had not yet been discovered to the point where humans could live forever.
But in Azeroth, immortality is not just a legend, there are very distinct examples in front of Soladin.
With the contrast of the elves, Soladin felt increasingly uncomfortable. He began to doubt whether there was something wrong with the origin of human beings.
After the celebration banquet, Alasso and Quelthalas continued to arrange the army to hunt down and expel the trolls, while beginning to stabilize the many problems caused by the war in the country.
With the collective persuasion of the ministers, Soladin announced his last important decision during his reign.
The Kingdom of Alaso was promoted to the Empire of Alaso, and the title of King Solatin also became Emperor Solatin.
Then Emperor Soladin divided the vast territory of the current Araso Empire, and many generals who made contributions to the war were sent to guard the country.
Just after being promoted to the Emperor, Soladin immediately retreated in front of many ministers and announced in a rapid manner that he was about to abdicate and handed over the throne to his eldest son to inherit.
The abdication of the founding king Soladin caused considerable shock to the Araso Empire, but Soladin's determination was extremely firm, and no one's persuasion changed his mind.
Andrea and others witnessed the process of Alasso's transformation into empire throughout the whole process. Soladin, who abdicated, left on the day after the handover ceremony of the throne.
Aolola asked his father in confusion, "Dad, why does Soladin abdicate at this time? There are still many problems that need to be solved in human beings?"
"Who knows."
Riding on Onyxia's back, Andrea looked meaningfully at a team of knights who were racing towards the north of Tirisfalin.
"Maybe I learned something in my conversation with Annasteria some time ago, and I want to confirm my thoughts before my life has reached the end."
