Galen encountered the retreating Farstrider Legion on the south side of the Sunstrider Isle, and also saw Sylvanas and Alleria covered in blood.
Galen rushed over and hugged the two Windrunners.
"Hiss!"
"Whoosh!"
The Farstrider rangers whistled playfully.
Two women serving one husband?
That's Sylvanas Windrunner and Alleria Windrunner!
Which high elf doesn't know that the women of the Windrunner family are strong, and they really have the strength to be strong.
Sylvanas and Alleria had been missing for ten years, and the high elves had filled in the story in their minds.
Especially for the long-lived high elves, since the Second War, there had been peace until now, and there were no major events to discuss, so gossip and scandals were too interesting to kill time!
Especially since Sylvanas's return, she had trained them until they couldn't breathe. Today, seeing the gossip of their immediate superior diluted their morale, which was fluctuating because of the retreat.
"Galen, Galen, let go..."
Alleria couldn't hold on any longer and said shyly.
Galen wanted to hug her for a while longer, but Sylvanas's two fingers had already found the gap in Galen's armor. Then, the deadly two fingers moved, pinching Galen's waist and twisting the soft flesh!
Galen had no choice but to let go.
"Are you all right!"
Galen carefully looked at the two of them and didn't find any injuries, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief. The anger in his heart also dissipated by more than half.
"We weren't injured, but we lost more than a dozen rangers." Sylvanas directed the troops to continue north. The Sunstrider Isle would be the next stronghold.
Although they didn't have to resist Arthas and his Scourge army to the death, the pride of the high elves didn't allow the Farstrider Legion to retreat without a fight.
At this time, Kael'thas and the Skychaser Knights also arrived. Kael'thas took the lead and came to Galen and the others.
"General Sylvanas, haven't you received an order from the Court of the Sunstriders? The Sun King rejected the Silvermoon Council's order. The Farstriders don't need to defend the Ghostlands alone. The Sunfury Legion and the Sunhawk Legion have already entered the Sunstrider Isle. Please cooperate with them to delay the invaders' advance!"
"We haven't received the King's order. Instead, the Silvermoon Council sent a messenger with a formal document."
There's a mole.
Hearing this, Galen's face was still terribly gloomy, but the truth was clear. But he still didn't regret that heavy punch, because the high elves deserved to be beaten!
Besides, how many times did I beat you in my previous life?
Once a day at peak times, eight times a week!
Therefore, it had no effect for Kael'thas to come over with a red and swollen face. Instead, the soldiers took a few more glances, and this became the second gossip!
Before entering the Sunstrider Isle, Kael'thas quietly asked Liadrin to heal the injury on his face. Otherwise, the two legion commanders of the Sunfury and Sunhawk Legions wouldn't know how to explain it to them when they saw it.
Galen was very satisfied with the high elves' response plan.
In fact, rangers are not the best troops to deal with the Scourge. They are more suitable for guerrilla warfare and forest warfare against small groups of invading trolls, or as guard troops.
Judging from the battle reports sent back through the Gate of the Dead, fighting the mindless undead with small forces will only lead to despair.
Large-scale army operations are more effective, commonly known as: head-on confrontation.
Especially within the high elves' large barrier, only their mages can cast spells, and other forces can only engage in close combat.
This is also why Galen only brought a group of elite melee soldiers.
As soon as he entered the Sunstrider Isle, Galen took the paladins to the back mountain of the Sunstrider Isle!
The Ghostlands is flat, and the only high mountain is the Scarred Foothills, surrounded by the Sunstrider Isle, Tranquillien, the Farstrider Enclave, and Fairbreeze Village.
Before the high elves came, this mountain range was used as a cemetery by the trolls. In order to build the Amani Catacombs, the trolls almost hollowed out the mountain. A large number of trolls are buried inside, including mummies and desiccated corpses.
This is a true cemetery. Once Arthas discovers its existence, he can instantly raise an army of hundreds of thousands of troll mummy headhunters.
If Zul'jin failed to destroy the high elves while he was alive, but the bones of his ancestors who had been dead for tens of thousands of years did it, that would be hilarious.
Galen created a large amount of holy water and transported it directly into the Amani Catacombs, pouring a cup of holy water on each mummy!
As the saying goes, one cup for freedom, one cup for death.
For the freedom of your souls, so that you will not be dragged back into the decaying corpses by Arthas to accept slavery, I will help you today...
As for the funerary objects that Galen thought of...
Nothing!
The high elves are not fools. They have occupied this place for thousands of years, and they have already searched everything that could be searched, leaving only a pile of useless corpses.
As for the high elf corpses buried in the villages throughout the forest, Galen was powerless.
When Galen proposed it half a year ago, Kael'thas immediately rejected the action of pouring holy water on the graves. He didn't even need to report to his father. He could guess with his little finger that if this measure was really implemented, the Sunstrider family wouldn't need to continue fighting for power with the Silvermoon Council. They would directly step down because of inciting public outrage!
As Galen expected, when Arthas led the Scourge army into the Ghostlands, he sent a large army of undead to search for high elf villages everywhere. They needed to replenish their forces!
The Gate of the Dead was destroyed by nearly 100,000 undead by the Farstrider rangers, so I will use your corpses to make up for it. No problem!
However, after searching for a long time, they didn't see many high elves. Most of the villages had already been evacuated, leaving only empty houses.
Without the living, Arthas had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, sending out necromancers from the Cult of the Damned to dig up graves and take corpses.
And those stubborn high elves scattered throughout the Ghostlands were all brought to Arthas.
