Chapter 167 Stealing chickens is not enough to feed rice
Darkan has secretly made many preparations in order to increase his influence and weaken the prestige of the Sun King over the years.
Although Charlemagne didn’t know about it long ago, the appearance of the later void elf Rondorei is also indirectly related to this guy’s secret research on the void. It’s true to say that the origin of the elves is Darkan...
Judging from the statements of these three Mesozoic rangers, it seems that he was behind the ambush that hurt the high elves.
Some thoughts turned in Charlemagne's mind, but his attention was immediately attracted by Eleanor's next words.
"Back then, Darkan personally came to Taquilin to win over his eldest brother. Although he still kept a smile on the surface after being rejected, I happened to see his gloomy eyes when he turned around."
"It didn't take long for the upper management to issue an order suddenly, saying that they wanted to attack Zul'Aman while the troll was still alive. The Amani troll did suffer a lot under the attack of the elder brother a few years ago, although the order came relatively quickly. All of a sudden, there was a mobilization of rangers all over the southern forests."
At this time, Jialinde also crossed his arms and added, "That's right, most of the adult rangers who could go into battle in the southern forest participated in that war, including the father of little brother Charlemagne, and Silvermoon City also specially sent a team of Only a large group of mages and a team of priests personally led by the senior priest Von der Lore.”
High-ranking priest Von der Lore, whose name Charlemagne has also been heard many times, is the only priest in Quel'Thalas who is at the peak of the hero rank, and now concurrently serves as the archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light in Silvermoon City.
However, due to the existence of the Sunwell, the elves' belief in the Holy Light is not as pure as that of humans, and the Archbishop of the Holy Light himself did not take this position too seriously.
Although he has a high status in the hearts of the people, according to Liadrin's private description, this guy is actually an old man... He also has a magister girlfriend named Bi Luohua.
Von der Lore can be regarded as the enlightener who led Liadrin into the way of priests. If Charlemagne did not leverage the turning point in history, the legendary old non-priest would officially become Liadrin's priest mentor in the future. Unfortunately, he died in battle.
"Although we didn't use many regular legions at that time, it was more than enough to attack Zul'Aman in terms of lineup. As long as we fight steadily, it will definitely cause great damage to the capital of the Amani trolls. Who knew that Darkan had the upper hand That scum can actually have a crooked mind..."
What Garinde said caused a look of pain to flash in Li Reza's eyes, and the faces of the three Aurelia sisters were also full of sadness. When they heard that their father led the team to be ambushed, and they themselves died under Zujin's hands, they seemed to suddenly There was a thunderbolt.
The high elves who had been advancing all the way before suddenly suffered such a big turning point, which made all the elves waiting for the news of the victory never expected, and even felt unacceptable in their hearts, including Charlemagne and Lor'themar's mother.
Charlemagne frowned tightly, raised his head and looked at the sad expressions of the three seniors and asked, "Then... what exactly is going on, Uncle Bedur, who holds the artifact, shouldn't be so easy to lose to Zujin, right?"
Bedur Windrunner, the former Ranger General, the proud father of the three Windrunner sisters, it is said that when he led the team to attack Zul'Aman, he already possessed the strength of a high-level hero. How could he die so easily with the support of Sasdora? Zu Jin's subordinates.
Not to mention that there were Sigmar Theron, Von der Lore, and several magisters who were also heroes of the hero rank beside Beder at that time, and it was more than enough to crush Zujin from the perspective of combat power.
Eleanor shook her head and sighed, "We don't know the specific battle situation. At that time, Jialinde and I were sent to the east and west battlefields respectively, and Li Reza's sister-in-law stayed in Fengxing Village to take care of the young Lilas. Knowing that during the march, the Chinese army was suddenly ambushed by Zujin and all the trolls' high-end combat forces, and by the time we received the retreat order..."
Galinder smacked his lips in displeasure and said, "Although the hero-level powerhouse of the troll almost died in that battle, our side also suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, all the spellcasters retreated safely, but the ranger..."
Charlemagne had heard about the loss of the rangers a long time ago. Most of the Mesozoic rangers were killed on the spot in that battle.
Eleanor sighed and added, "After the war, Jialinde and I noticed something was wrong, and after many investigations, we finally caught a bit of the truth behind it."
"It seems that our combat power configuration and the marching route of the Chinese army were disclosed to Zujin by someone, and at that time, Big Brother, Sigma and others seemed to be out of shape. Stora brought it out, I'm afraid this artifact longbow will also fall into the hands of trolls."
"Are you out?"
What did Charlemagne think of when he heard this? This is very similar to the phenomenon of being voodoo or cursed by a troll, but how could an experienced hero-level ranger be so easily plotted by Zujin?
Reminiscent of Eleanor's leak and Darkan's strange behavior, Charlemagne gradually pieced together the truth of the incident in his mind.
"Could it be Darkan..."
Li Reza looked at the surprised and angry expressions of several juniors and nodded heavily, "Although there is no evidence, after repeated researches by Eleanor and I, the final conclusion...Darkan should have sent me through unknown channels. The situation of the army was revealed to Zu'jin, and tampered with in the food of the rangers."
"Snapped!"
As soon as Li Reza finished speaking, Cirvanas immediately slapped the table and stood up, turned around with a cold face, and walked out the door.
"Come back! What do you want!"
Hearing his mother's scolding, Cirvanas, who temporarily stopped, almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Kill that damned traitor!"
"Nonsense! Let's not talk about the consequences of attacking a member of the Silver Moon Council indiscriminately without evidence. With the strength of the peak of Darkan's 8th ring, what do you, a small high-level ranger, have to fight him?"
Eleanor also walked up to the trembling Cirvanas and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "Little Hill, I can understand your feelings, but we can't move at all without definite evidence." he."
At this time, Garinde showed a rare gentle expression and comforted the weeping Vereesa, "Besides, Darkan's actions at that time did not come without any punishment. The Sun King and other members of the Silver Moon Council were very angry at his blatant exclusion of dissidents. .”
"Although there is no evidence to completely demolish him, the moderate councilors Huo Mang and Chen Xi have seen his character clearly because of this incident, and they have drawn a clear line with him. And the Sun Corian family gradually had some rifts with him, and His Majesty took the opportunity to cut a lot of his rights."
Li Reza looked at the expressions of grief and indignation on the three daughters at this time, and also made a conclusion: "Darkan's goal of weakening the reputation of the Sun King and getting rid of Bedur has indeed been achieved, but what he lost is more than what he gained."
"Although there are still some elves who are open to money and are willing to follow him, but...almost all officials have seen through his nature, and they might bite him back if they have the opportunity."
