In the war years, discussing the overall strength of a race is an extremely complex issue. However, there are always a few key points that can be used to judge the big from the small - the overall national strength, the total population, the individual life span of the race, and the sum of its high-end combat power

.

In terms of overall national strength, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas established by arcane magic is the undisputed leader in the Eastern Continent. The convenience of arcane magic allows the people to enjoy a happy and peaceful life in the abundant Eversong Forest.

Until its destruction and the Great Patriotic War a few months ago, Alsace destroyed this once glorious and prosperous kingdom. Now it is riddled with holes, the forest has been corrupted, and the population has dropped by more than half.

The total population of the blood elves is not large. They have thrived in the favorable environment created by the indestructible Bandinore barrier for seven thousand years, which is still less than the history of the blood elves, which is only about one-third of the length of the blood elves.

Humanity.

All this is caused by the low birth rate of blood (higher) elves.

Just like the Kaldorei relatives on another continent, the Well of Eternity allowed them to evolve from primitive and barbaric trolls to what they are today, giving them a long life, and eternal life is in the world tree of Nordrassil today.

They were protected under the protection of the human trolls, but it also deprived them of the extremely strong reproductive ability like human trolls. The same is true for blood elves.

In its heyday, the total population of the blood elves was still less than that of the human Kingdom of Arathor, which had only about one-third of their historical population. Not to mention that after it was split into seven kingdoms, before it was baptized by war more than ten years ago,

The seven human kingdoms are at their peak.

even……

The talent is comparable to the middle reaches of the seven human kingdoms.

After this battle, even if the blood elves can stand on the top of Azeroth in the near future, it will be impossible for the population to return to the level before the third war without hundreds of years of recuperation.

But seven thousand years of accumulation have given the blood elves the capital to reborn in adversity. Material reserves, knowledge reserves, technology reserves...all of them are priceless treasures. In addition, the strategic policy of the Scourge Legion has always been to summon the Burning Legion as the priority, and they have not chosen

Wasting time to completely destroy Quel'Thalas would cut off the possibility of the blood elves recovering.

A brand new country will eventually be reborn in this devastated land. Although the population is not large, the number of recruits destined to be recruited on this basis is worrying, but the professional army that has survived is far more common than the seven human countries.

The army was composed mainly of a small number of professional soldiers, plus temporary armed forces urgently recruited by nobles in their respective territories during wartime. The army was much more powerful.

The long lifespan gives the blood elves enough time to hone their combat skills to a terrifying level. In terms of individual combat capabilities, perhaps only the night elves with equally long lives can rival them.

Unfortunately……

In terms of high-end combat power, the blood elves once had nearly ten legendary warriors and dozens of epic warriors, many of whom were only half a step away from becoming the top-level epic warriors in the legendary realm. They were among all races in Azeroth.

It is a high-end combat force that cannot be underestimated, but nearly half of them were killed in the battle to defend the country.

Among them were the old and frail late king Anastarian,

The talented great mage Belovar Sarona,

Liadrin, the current leader of the Blood Knights, was her former mentor, High Priest Von Delor...

Each legendary strongman is a peak existence at the top of his own field, mastering the rich knowledge and application skills of the six original powers of the universe, such as the Holy Light of Light and the Arcana of Order. Every legendary strongman

The fall of each represents the end of an era. It is an unbearable heavy blow to the blood elves, and the losses are immeasurable.

In the Battle of Dalaran half a month ago, all the remaining legendary strongmen of the blood elves lost contact. Prince Kael'thas, Rommath, Teresta, Salorian Morningseeker...

The elite blood elves that disappeared with Dalaran also included more than half of the talents newly discovered by Prince Kael'thas, ranging from far-sighted staff and advisors to tacticians who stood out after the Great Patriotic War.

These people are all talented and highly valued by the prince. In just a few months, they have risen rapidly and assumed crucial positions in Quel'Thalas, forming an efficient ruling group that is closely united under the prince's command.

and decision-making bodies.

They are the core members of the new faction that replaced the status of the conservative nobles. The enlightened Prince Kael'thas chose to reuse the new faction, but this caused dissatisfaction with the conservative nobles who once held the power of the kingdom and were destined to be eliminated by the times.

In order to facilitate the internal affairs of the general clan, these elites were also brought to Dalaran by the prince. In addition to dealing with the war, they played a role of uploading and distributing information, and helped Prince Kael'thas handle matters in Dalaran, a thousand kilometers away.

They were involved in the affairs of the clan. But the sudden disaster caused them to go missing like the prince. No one knew whether they were dead or missing. The conservative nobles would not fail to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Perhaps the fact that the government system with the Sun King as the main body and the Parliament (nobles) as the secondary body can last for thousands of years is enough to prove its uniqueness. But times have changed, and the blood elves who have suffered a catastrophe also need to change.

These new talents who were single-handedly promoted by the prince came from the bottom, with clean resumes, and all their thoughts were from the perspective of the kingdom. Instead of being like the middle- and low-level aristocratic members of the Silver Moon Parliament in the past, except for the magister members, they

When discussing a certain policy, we always try to satisfy our own interests as much as possible.

What the blood elves in adversity need is a centralized government that can effectively integrate the power of the tribe, so that they can exert their full strength in a situation surrounded by powerful enemies. They do not need any aristocratic councilors who have outdated and dull ideas and will only use their positions to satisfy themselves.

.

…

It is true that not all nobles put their desire for power above their loyalty to the kingdom like the Suiyun family, but there is no doubt that a considerable number of nobles want to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits, and then unite under the leadership of Speaker Randolph

Down.

In the first few days, the conservative nobles' suppression of the new factions was still understood and tolerated by most people, which was normal. The top priority was to ensure that the kingdom would not be attacked by the Scourge and to find the whereabouts of the prince as soon as possible.

But when the Silver Moon Council unilaterally announced that the prince was dead and made no secret of its intention to usurp the throne, people discovered that the situation developed far beyond expectations.

What on earth are those conservative nobles going to do?

This is setting yourself on fire!

…

At nightfall, almost at the same time that Master Carlyle was preparing to send out invitations to meet with the magisters in the country in accordance with Angmar's requirements, people began to come to the Sunwell Temple one after another, holding in their hands the magisters' special letters for communicating with each other.

occult letters.

The magisters had just learned the content of the speech delivered by the Silvermoon Council in various parts of Silvermoon City in the afternoon, and they were all shocked. They had already sent their apprentices and assistants to contact their colleagues to confirm whether the matter was true.

This also saves the trouble of delivering messages one by one. Angmar recorded the image of Special Envoy Motley into the magic crystal, and handed over to them the letter containing Norton Blue Sky's confession about the imprisonment of Magister Candyris.

Hands of apprentices, let them bring them back together.

Anweina and Angmar hid in the darkness of the temple, constantly exploring whether these magisters were controlled by demons.

Fortunately, no one has been found to have been controlled yet.

Ten minutes later, the magisters who had stayed behind in the country came to the Sunwell Temple in a steady stream and sat down on the seats prepared in advance. They shared the latest news they had and communicated with each other for verification.

Every minute that passed, newcomers arrived, and Carlyle took the trouble to answer questions about the content of the letter for the newcomers over and over again, his eyes frequently drifting to Angmar and Anweina who were invisible.

Even these powerful magisters cannot see through Anweina's invisibility spell.

"How is this possible? Candyris is the most outstanding one among us, how could he be imprisoned by a mere Suiyun family?" A female mage walked into the Sunwell Temple in a hurry, without even saying hello.

As soon as he started, he asked questions one after another, "What is the intention of Norton, a loyal supporter of the conservative aristocracy?"

Angmar turned around and looked over. It was the female mage Emniel. In the near future, she may participate in the recovery of the Ghost Land like in the official history, and sit in the Taquelin stronghold that was subsequently established.

It plays a vital role by serving as the transit liaison hub for all magisters in the area.

At this point, in addition to Quellintis and other magisters who were performing search and rescue work in Tarren Mill, and Vincent's Blood Eagle who stayed behind in Silvermoon City, all the more than ten magisters in the country had arrived.

Emineel can be said to be famous. When she was only over a hundred years old, she became the magician of the kingdom through selection. Different from the delicate women that people usually think of, she is a woman with a very fiery personality, and she is worthy of

With good looks and a well-shaped body, it is easy to leave a deep impression on others.

Such female magisters are not rare in the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

In terms of the status difference between men and women, Quel'Thalas is undoubtedly a hundred times better than the humans in the south. Even Dalaran, which is known for its enlightenment, did not abandon its bad prejudices against women until more than 800 years ago and trained the most powerful people in history.

The first female mage apprentice in history, this pioneering apprentice eventually became the world-famous Guardian of Tirisfal - Magna Aegwynn.

In the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which was born out of the Kaldorei civilization, this phenomenon almost did not exist from the beginning. There are many powerful women who have become famous in their respective fields, especially mages.

"Before you arrived, we have discussed this issue many times, and everything Emniel Norton said is true." Carlyle tapped the table with his finger and sighed.

Emniel nodded respectfully towards Carlyle, and then sat on the empty seat. The latter was not the strongest in the room, but his academic achievements were rarely matched, and his status among the magisters was extremely high.

"Norton? Why is he here?"

As soon as she sat down, the female magician looked at Norton Lankong sitting in the corner, sneered, and asked: "Don't the Lankong family want to be in power? What, you have changed your mind?"

Posted late! Sorry, sorry...
