Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Chapter 99: The Buried Fuse

The World Tree blessed by the Dragon King was finally named Nordrassil by the Archdruid Malfurion, which means "Crown of the Sky".

The arcane energy overflowing from the new Well of Eternity was absorbed by Nordrassil, and the last hidden danger leading the way for the Burning Legion was eliminated. Malfurion and Tyrande finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But things are not over yet.

Just as Malfurion and Tyrande were having a headache discussing how to deal with Illidan who had made a big mistake, Maiev suddenly rushed into the meeting hall.

Looking at the farewell letter that Maiev handed over, Malfurion had a complicated expression.

"Really, sure enough, he still left."

This letter of farewell was left by Garald, the commander who dedicated himself to commanding the coalition forces to defeat the Burning Legion. After struggling for a period of time, he finally chose to hide his achievements and fame and return to the mountains and forests.

Garrod mentioned the reasons for his departure in the letter.

With the end of the war, the number of soldiers who survived the War of the Ancients is quite large. Considering that the next period will enter a long period of peaceful development, it is imperative to streamline the army.

Garald didn't want to see with his own eyes that the soldiers who followed him through life and death were dismissed. On the other hand, he was also worried that some officers would come through the back door to intercede with him.

Garald is undoubtedly a genius in military affairs, but he really doesn't have much confidence in his interpersonal skills. Maybe a soft heart will agree to the request of his subordinates, which will affect the overall situation of peaceful development after the war.

Andrea crossed his arms and leaned against the entrance of the conference hall, looking at the frowning three people in the hall. He was not surprised by Garald's choice.

With Garrod's character, it was only a matter of time before this happened.

Jarod, one of the three giants of the night elves, left suddenly, and the burden of leading the entire clan fell on the shoulders of Malfurion and Tyrande.

Maiev's temper was already bad, and Jarod's refusal to say goodbye made her even more annoyed. She blamed the reason for Jarod's departure on Illidan, the culprit who caused the incident.

Maiev strongly demanded that Malfurion and Tyrande punish Illidan severely, preferably on the spot.

Andrea, who was watching the whole process, was very speechless.

Maiev's combat ability is indeed very outstanding, and in the eyes of some people, she is also quite charismatic, but her emotional intelligence is really a bit...

'In front of my biological brother and childhood sweetheart, ask them to execute Illidan? What are you thinking...'

The good-tempered Malfurion just showed embarrassment, but Tyrande became more and more dissatisfied with Maiev's aggressiveness, and a conflict was about to break out.

"Teacher, Lady Maiev."

In order to avoid unnecessary quarrels, Andrea finally gave a suggestion, "Although Illidan acted without permission, fortunately, his actions did not cause irreversible serious consequences."

"The death penalty is too heavy, but the punishment is too light and can't serve as a wake-up call. It's better to be sentenced to exile."

Malfurion's eyes lit up, "Exile?"

"Yes, Illidan is exiled from the core territory of the night elves, and he is not allowed to return for 1000 years. What do you think?"

"no!"

Just as Tyrande good Malfurion bowed his head in deep thought, Maiev first retorted sharply, "If Illidan acts recklessly during his exile, who can take the responsibility?"

"It can be seen from Illidan's attitude that he has no intention of introspection at all. For such an unrepentant person, the death penalty can cut off the evil thoughts he shouldn't have!"

Malfurion and Tyrande were about to take advantage of the steps given by Andrea to nod in agreement, but they didn't expect Maiev, the leader of the battle priests, to be so fierce and stubborn.

Anger rose on Tyrande's face. She was now the High Priest of Elune, and Maiev was strictly speaking her subordinate.

The subordinate was so shameless, the new High Priest couldn't bear it, not to mention that it was her childhood sweetheart who grew up with her that she strongly demanded to be executed.

"Tyrande."

Malfurion, who was very familiar with Tyrande, pressed her shoulders, shook his head lightly, and said, "Calm down, the whole clan is waiting to be done, we can't waste time and energy on internal strife."

"Humph!"

Malfurion frowned and considered for a while, and finally said in compromise, "Well, let's take a step back."

"Illidan will be imprisoned forever, and Maiev's high priest will serve as the warden. He will not be released until he sincerely repents."

Tyrande felt a little dissatisfied with Malfurion's decision "Mafa..."

"That's it!"

Maiev interrupted Tyrande's unspoken words, and said firmly, "I will take care of Illidan personally, but I don't think he will admit and reflect on his crimes."

...

Under Maiev's strong statement, Illidan was ordered by Malfurion and Tyrande to be permanently imprisoned, and Maiev led a part of the battle priests to serve as wardens. Maiev named the prison guards the Watchers.

Although the mild-mannered Malfurion finally chose to give in, Maiev's aggressive attitude undoubtedly displeased both him and Tyrande, and he just took this opportunity to transfer the hot-tempered Maiev away from the center of power.

The Watcher was established by Maiev, who is ruthless and selfless, and is in charge of the night elves' punishment system.

In the long run, this decision is conducive to the tone of post-war peaceful development.

In order to maintain a stable post-war order, it is only a matter of time before the army is downsized. The only question is who will take on the role of singing the red face.

Malfurion is currently leading the druids to overcome the problem of high-yielding food seeds, which are related to the livelihood of countless night elves.

The important task of disarmament was handed over to Tyrande. In order to prevent the inexperienced Tyrande from acting too aggressively, Malfurion arranged the mature and stable Andrea as Tyrande's deputy.

...Anyway, Andrea's mutated force of nature can't help in researching food.

As expected, when Tyrande publicly announced the disarmament order, it immediately caused an uproar among the entire army.

Although most of the night elves who temporarily joined the army expressed their understanding and were willing to cooperate with the Sisters of Elune to return home, some high-level elf officers showed very strong resistance to the disarmament.

The troops under the command of these upper-level elf officers are private soldiers of their respective families. In the era of the Dark Night Empire, as long as they did not harbor rebellious intentions, it was legal for nobles to raise private soldiers.

Tyrande wanted to completely disarm, which was tantamount to cutting their flesh with a knife. The Highborne, who were originally aggrieved because the New Well of Eternity was forbidden to approach, immediately triggered a strong reaction after hearing the order.

Tyrande is not a soft-hearted person. Although she is far from being as tough and stubborn as Andrea knows, but as the saying goes, three years old will be eighty... eight thousand, and her acting style can be seen from now There are some clues.

The new High Priest of the Moon God ignored the objections of the upper elves. She first recruited a large number of ordinary soldiers from the bottom, and put pressure on the upper elves officers with an absolute superiority in numbers.

Andrea tried to persuade both parties to calm down many times during this process, but Tyrande had no intention of making any concessions, and continued to use extreme pressure methods as usual.

As a last resort, Andrea could only find Dath'Remar, and asked this high-borne elf with an excellent outlook on the overall situation to persuade the officers to make concessions.

Dath'Remar was also very clear that disarmament after the war was inevitable, and under the new social order, it was indeed inappropriate to continue to let nobles control private soldiers.

With Dath'Remar's mediation, the aggrieved noble officers finally surrendered and honestly handed over their private soldiers.

Tyrande was obviously in a good mood when she left victorious, and her first demonstration went smoothly, further consolidating her authority as the high priest of the moon god.

But the triumphant Tyrande obviously didn't notice the resentful eyes of the high elves behind her. The conflict had already been buried, and when it would explode... no one knew.

"Hey~"

Andrea turned her head to look at the resentful Highborne, scratched her head helplessly and said, "I'm not strict at all, and I'm going to help wipe my ass in the end."
