In the fifth year after the coalition forces passed through the Dark Portal, "The Redeemer" Arator was born in the red and broken land of Draenor. His mother was the ranger general Alleria Windrunner of Quel'Thalas.
, his father is the commander of the Draenor Expeditionary Force - the human paladin Turayan. As a half-elf, he has an enviable and proud noble bloodline.
"Arator" is the name given to him by his father Turalyon. It means "the loyal and brave man" in Lordaeron's Hindi language, and "The Redeemer" is the title given to him by Danas.
With hope that this child born in a broken world can bring spiritual salvation to the soldiers who are far away from home.
Arator was lucky. He received a lot of hopes and encouragement after he was born. But at the same time, he was unfortunate. He was forced to separate from his parents when he was very young. His impression of his parents is like fragments.
So broken: some are through the oral accounts of veterans of the expeditionary force, and some are their own vague memories.
The half-elf vaguely remembered that his father was an optimistic and cheerful man who loved his mother and himself very much. In his little heart, in addition to the golden holy light on Turalyon's majestic armor, it was more about being a human wife.
father's responsibility
Compared with his father, his mother Alleria is undoubtedly much colder, probably because of the long lifespan of elves. They are not good at expressing their love with passionate emotions.
Ya seems to be more so
Arator never felt that he received much maternal love from her. The feelings his mother gave him could be described as "cold" and "aloof", but the half-elf did not resent all this because he had heard a lot about his mother.
According to the legend, Arator prefers to view her as an ordinary woman who has experienced life and death rather than her role as a mother.
Alleria Windrunner, the ranger general of Quel'Thalas, the eldest sister of the three Windrunner sisters. Her fame began in the middle of the Troll War thousands of years ago. With a longbow in her hand, she killed countless people who dared to invade their homeland.
The troll also brought supreme glory to the Windrunner family.
Later, with the help of humans, the high elves finally won the war, but this was not the end of the war for the elves. After thousands of years of peace, the orcs invaded the continent of Azeroth. These violent elves
After burning Stormwind City in the south, the barbarian race wanted to invade further north, and they set their sights on one of the members of the Alliance of Lordaeron: the high elves of Quel'Thalas.
Although the elves' defenses were strong, they were caught off guard by the orcs' blitzkrieg - the borderlands of Quel'Thalas were burned to ashes by the Horde, and many civilians and nobles were killed by the furious orcs in that battle.
, and Alleria's parents were also extremely unfortunate to be involved in it.
Since then, the ranger general of Quel'Thalas has almost immersed herself in sorrow and hatred. She took her two surviving sisters and swore revenge in front of her parents' graves, and led her elite rangers all the way deep into human territory.
, hunting down the ferocious Blood Hollow clan and all the green-skinned orcs in sight.
At this time, the Alliance was determined to launch an expedition against Draenor in order to solve the threat of the Dark Portal to the continent of Azeroth. Alleria, who was full of desire for revenge, naturally joined the expedition team and became the Saint.
Knight Turalyon's deputy
The years in Draenor were long, and the veterans didn’t know how the two of them fell in love, but many people still clearly remember the beautiful Miss Alleria because of her treatment of the orc prisoners of war.
Qiao almost fell out with Turalyon for a time, but in the end the two reconciled under the kind persuasion of mage advisor Khadgar.
All of this can show how obsessed with revenge the Elf Ranger is. Although she later had her own family, Arator had reason to believe that this was just a roof for her mother to temporarily escape her inner suffering——
Her child had just passed the lactation period, so she put down her diaper and picked up the longbow again, and went into killing orcs and demons with her husband, and never came back.
Arator did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment towards Alleria's almost ruthless indifference. On the contrary, he forgave his mother as he gradually became wiser, and also somewhat vicariously hated the orcs who broke up his family: Obviously, just now,
The rebuttal to Reagan should be based on this weird transfer of hatred.
"Oh, he is such an unfortunate boy..." Regen glanced at Arator with some sympathy, tilted his chin and shook his head at Havers, "But speaking of which, how do you, an old guy, know so many things?
?Could he be able to tell you all his experiences in such a short period of time?"
"Of course not," Havers pouted in the direction of Sophie and said with a bit of schadenfreude, "your woman told me when I came back just now... but looking at this situation, it seems that the boy has a crush on Sophie!"
Regen rolled his eyes at him: "Fart!"
"Hey, you kid, don't believe it!" The conference hall of Glory Castle is very large. Although Danas was talking incessantly above, it did not affect Havers and Regan whispering below, "I heard the soldiers of Glory Castle say
, before Sophie was chased and injured by a demon, it was this half-elf paladin who rescued her... Don't blame me for talking nonsense, you and Sophie have a good relationship, but what young people are afraid of is some kind of hero who saves a beauty.
It’s just a set, maybe I’ll get something out of it after just two tries…”
"Okay, okay, I say you should pay more attention to the army and stop talking about these bullshit gossips." Regan waved his hand impatiently. He did not take Havers' words seriously. After all, he was talking about heroic rescue.
Mei, I am more qualified than that half-elf pretty boy - when he was in Ironforge, he gave up the artifact at hand for Sophie. How many men on the mainland can do this?
"Lord Havers, General Reagan, what do you think of our views?"
While Regan and Havers were deserting, Danas turned his attention to the two of them, "I heard that the Seventh Legion fought against the Burning Legion many times after its establishment and won a decisive victory on Mount Hyjal. Sir, I would like to come.
You should also have a unique perspective on the situation on the peninsula at this moment."
Havers coughed twice, nodded to Danas and said: "As your Excellency said, the Seventh Legion does have some experience in fighting demons, but we have just arrived in Draenor and don't know much about the situation here.
, so I don’t dare to talk about right and wrong.”
"Pre-military discussions are meant to brainstorm, and Lord Havers is so reserved," Danas smiled and asked Regan, "What about our dragon-slaying knights? I don't know what to expect from Jaina and me, Ms.
, which side would you like to be on?”
"If it were purely based on personal preference, there is no doubt that I would choose the latter, dear sir." In response to Regen's directness, a burst of good-natured laughter burst out in the conference hall, and Jaina's pretty face blushed slightly, quite a bit.
She rolled her eyes at him a little sheepishly.
Regan smiled and waited for everyone to calm down before continuing, "It is true that the opinions you two just mentioned have their own truths, but I feel that compared to Master Danas's strategy, Master Jaina's two-pronged attack is more
It makes me even more moved... Of course, this is not the other, so please don’t misunderstand me.”
Seeing someone on the conference table preparing to whistle, Regan quickly pressed his hands and smiled helplessly at Jaina who glared at him, "As far as I know, the Fort of Glory was not the only stronghold established by the expeditionary force in Draenor.
, just because of the lack of troops, they did not conduct coordinated operations with each other, but only maintained the most basic contact."
"Indeed," Danas nodded, "In addition to the Castle of Glory, we have also established frontline bases in Shadowmoon Valley and Terokkar Forest. Most of the troops stationed there are Wildhammer dwarves and Miss Alleria's ranger troops. But
Due to the rampant demonic activities in recent times, it is extremely difficult to maintain contact with each other, let alone launch a joint attack on the Burning Legion."
"This is exactly what I want to clarify," Regen took over and said to a group of officers. "Your Excellency Danas is still worried about the lack of troops, so he suggested focusing on solving the threat of Hellfire Citadel, and then calmly
Deal with the rest of the enemies... Of course, there is nothing wrong with this plan strategically, but what we have now is not just the lone veteran of the expeditionary force in front of us."
As he spoke, the knight walked to the deduction sand table and painted the dark blue of the Alliance on the location of the Dark Portal, which was still marked in gray and black: "Everyone, the portal that once served as the springboard for the orcs to invade Azeroth is now in our hands.
The Alliance army will also continue to provide support to the outside world from here. Now we can completely put aside our worries about insufficient troops. I can tell you very clearly that Stormwind City is absolutely confident that it can capture Germany in a two-front or even three-front battle.
Rano!”
There was silence in the hall for a while, and suddenly a burst of violent applause broke out. Several of the slightly excited old officers even stood up and shouted: "It should have been so! Now we can also surround those demons in our lair!"
"
"Even if the tribe dares to interfere, we don't have to act cowardly and just drive them back to the Nagrand Grassland! That's the home of the greenskins anyway!"
With a look of relief on his face, Danas made a solemn gesture, and then said slowly: "Compared to my plan, General Regan's analysis is undoubtedly more rational, so I decided that the next move for Glory Castle will be
Be consistent with the Seventh Legion! Give up the strategy of shrinking in depth and only attack Hellfire Citadel, and the entire army will conduct indiscriminate attacks on the demons and evil orcs on the peninsula until they are all wiped out from this continent!"
"Yes, my lord!" All the officers stood up and replied, their armors clanging against each other.
Danas looked at Havers and Regen and said: "You two, then I will leave the Burning Legion in the north of the Fort of Glory to you. There are many demon landing sites and portals there. Your task is to take those damn things away.
Destroy them all and strengthen the nearby defenses. If possible, it is best to build a new frontline base there."
"North?" Regan frowned slightly, thinking of the tribal army preparing to establish a base there.
"Is there any problem, General?" Danas couldn't help but ask when he saw the knight's hesitant expression.
"It's not a big deal," Regan glanced at the other party and said after considering, "As far as I know, we are not the only ones interested in that area. The tribe's wolf-riding general Nazgu also plans to establish a front line in the north.
Base, and use it as a springboard to extend towards the rest of Draenor. If the two parties meet, I'm afraid..."
Danas snorted: "What are you afraid of? Could it be that the dragon-slaying knights are still afraid of fighting mere orcs?" Without waiting for Regan to answer, the general of Stromgarde said with piercing eyes, "If the tribe dares to cause trouble, then even the demons they bring with them will
Destroy it together!"
Regen frowned when he heard this, but Havers on the side calmly held him, bowed slightly towards Danas and said: "Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely complete the mission and prevent the demons from having half of the demons in Hellfire Peninsula."
No foothold!"
"Very good, I'll leave the devils in the north to you two, and we will clear the Hellfire Fortress!" Danas's style was vigorous and resolute, and the task was assigned in almost a moment. He looked around at the many generals with different expressions and said
, "Without further ado, everyone please do your best. This battle will definitely wipe out all the demons and monsters on the peninsula!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Whether they were veterans of the expeditionary force or reinforcements from Azeroth, they all stood up and answered loudly. At this moment, the smell of war has filled the air!
——————————————————————————————At the moment of the Alliance’s final mobilization, the Horde Legion also completed their first mission in Hellfire Peninsula.
One mission - to build the prototype of a frontline base
Compared with the stronger defense of Fort Glory, this base named after the tribal chief is undoubtedly more like a large outpost: it does not even have the most basic city walls, but uses thick logs to build giant fences.
, and then look out for the sentry towers on the surrounding trees. The entire base’s defenses only end here.
Evelin, who had always been observing the orcs' construction work, never raised an eyebrow: she really couldn't believe that these greenskins could tolerate sleeping in a place that was worse than a doghouse at night! Even the defense methods were so crude.
, don’t they ever worry about enemies launching sneak attacks at night?
However, in response to the blood elves' complaints, Nazgu waved his hand with great relief: "Don't worry, blood elves! The tribe's creed is different from those sissy humans. We will crush the enemy's defense before they even think about launching an attack! So these are
The extra defensive weapons are of little use to us... In fact, in my opinion, a few sentry towers are enough to keep an eye on those red-skinned ghosts!"
The depressed Evelin walked out of the temporary tent angrily and looked at the orc laborers who were sweating profusely and continuing to work. To be honest, compared to the sluggish tribesmen in Silvermoon City who were accustomed to relying on magic, these simple races seemed more impressive.
Feeling full of life...even if it smells a bit stinky
At this time, the sighing blood elf suddenly noticed something flashing out of the corner of her eye. There seemed to be something running quickly on the foothills to the east. She noticed that it was the blind spot of several sentry towers in the base. If an enemy penetrated and destroyed it, it would be impossible.
Undetectable!
Evelin's face was solemn, she held the dagger at her waist and walked cautiously towards the flashing light.
