CHAPTER 698: EXILE

The three ranger generals looked at each other and quickly came together to initiate emergency consultations.

Not only them, they soon recruited the remaining dozen or so ranger captains, mage commanders, and garrison commanders.

After five minutes of discussion, they reached a consensus.

As the temporarily elected leader and representative, Sylvanas stood on a half-broken stone platform. When her voice and image were transmitted by magic to every intact magical mirror in Quel’Thalas, she spoke loudly.

"After discussion by the temporary National Salvation Committee composed of 18 high-ranking people including me, Sylvanas Windrunner, Lor’themar Theron, Halduron Brightwing, etc., I, in the name of the leader of the Quel’Thalas National Salvation Association, declare that Kael’thas Sunstrider, who once defected to the Scourge, is a traitor!"

"Since Kael’thas Sunstrider has not done anything that seriously harms the interests of the high elves, and based on Kael’thas’s contributions to the kingdom for more than a thousand years, we have decided to deprive him of his princely status and exile him. From today on, Kael’thas Sunstrider and his followers must leave Quel’Thalas."

At this time, the camera turned and Sylvanas asked Kael’thas: "Your Highness Kael’thas, do you have any objection to the people’s punishment of you?"

The punishment of exile!

This is already a great favor.

Since ancient times, no matter which world or kingdom, treason is a heinous crime punishable by the death of the entire family.

As long as you are a little ruthless, killing Kael’thas directly is not a big deal.

Firstly, Kael’thas did not commit a capital crime, and secondly, he was very popular.

The democratic tradition of the High Elves came into play at this time. In addition, even the biggest boss, the Alliance, had let Kael’thas go, so the High Elves, who were about to follow the Alliance, could not afford to be the clowns.

As a result, the punishment for Kael’thas was more like picking it up high and putting it down lightly.

Although Kael’thas understood this and felt sad, he had to accept this fact.

The former prince, because of that kneeling, lost the chance to be crowned king forever.

The elves quickly took care of their internal affairs, and without Duke’s urging, the anxious elves had already organized themselves spontaneously.

Sylvanas raised her arms and shouted: "The evil undead are attacking our glory - the Sunwell! In order to prevent evil from tainting our sanctity, we must form a more powerful commando to defend the island of Quel’Danath!"

Lor’themar gave the order in an orderly manner: "Divide by region, with the Arcane Golems in the front, the Infantry Regiment in the middle protecting the Mage Regiment, and the Rangers on the two wings. Arrange the troops immediately, and all captains report their respective combat power immediately!"

Halduron, who is in charge of reconnaissance, said: "Bring all the warships that can be driven here. I need five destroyers to investigate the situation on the east side of the island! Immediately send two speedboats to the Alliance to verify the Alliance’s flag. We need to cooperate with the Alliance fleet in the battle!"

On the other side, after the elemental shocks of Duke and others subsided a little, they opened the portal.

The Alliance rescue team, led by Holy Light Bishop Benedictus, quickly rushed to the ruins of Silvermoon City to assist the high elf civilians with average combat power to rescue their compatriots.

High-ranking paladin Liadrin led a team of Silver Hand paladins to Duke’s side. When she was about to say something, she saw Kael’thas slowly walking towards her.

Duke stopped Liadrin from trying to block him and slowly walked towards Kael’thas.

It is difficult to describe the pain in Kael’thas’ heart right now. For him, today is destined to be a nightmare day.

My hometown was invaded and the capital was once occupied.

Anasterian, his only relative and king, fell.

For the sake of his family and to protect the kingdom’s tens of thousands of elite soldiers from being brutally slaughtered, the prince chose to submit.

But the situation turned out to be a complete reversal. His father, for whom he had given almost everything, ruthlessly abandoned him and left him to fend for himself in front of the angry soldiers.

It was a miracle that the pain and despair didn’t drive him crazy on the spot.

"I’m sorry, Duke... I seem to have messed up everything. Although I am sad about this result, as long as the people can live a safe life, I will have no complaints. Duke, can you promise me? This will be a very easy thing for you."

Duke nodded slowly: "You say, I do."

The higher the status, the harder it is to talk to someone. Often, the value of a word from Duke is beyond description.

Now Duke had agreed without even asking what the content was. Even though Kael’thas had never thought that he and Duke were close friends, he still felt that Duke was not a friend in vain.

A warm feeling came over me.

"You do understand me. But I still want to hear it from your own mouth. You will do your best to help take care of the high elves."

Duke smiled gently, "Of course I will take care of the elves."

Nonsense, if I don’t take care of them, won’t Alleria and Vereesa skin me alive?

"Then I have no regrets." Unexpectedly, at this moment, Kael’thas would reveal a sincere smile from the heart.

Duke was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the extremely tragic ending of Kael’thas in history.

Originally, the Sun King and all the members of the Silvermoon Council died in this battle. In history, Arthas had the integrity to not resurrect the Sun King and his men. The only one who was turned into an undead by Arthas was Sylvanas, who resisted the most fiercely. He turned Sylvanas into a death banshee.

When Kael’thas, who was still in Dalaran, rushed back, he encountered a complete mess - the kingdom was beaten to pieces, and less than 10% of the people were left. Most of the people of the magic system who had long relied on the magic of the Sunwell actually had magic addiction, which is commonly known as magic addiction.

In order to take revenge, Kael’thas took the healthiest part of the elves and returned to the Alliance. Unfortunately, they were assigned to the suspicious commander Garithos, who was fighting against the Scourge in Lordaeron at the time. The elves in history, like in this life, left the Alliance after the Second Dark Gate War.

He broke the alliance, was beaten and then ran back to lick the enemy’s boots, so naturally he was looked down upon everywhere.

As a result, he was forced to leave the Alliance by a conspiracy and a little trickery by the Naga Queen Vashj. In order to solve his magic addiction, he had to turn to Illidan, one of the most unreliable bosses in Azeroth, and use the power of demons to suppress his magic addiction. He fell into depravity step by step, and was eventually tricked by Kil’jaeden, who attempted to summon Kil’jaeden on the rebuilt Sunwell.

This forced the blood elves to be in opposition to all the races in Azeroth. In the end, Prince Kael’thas was deserted by his friends and relatives and died tragically on the island of Quel’Danath.

Thinking of this, Duke couldn’t help but sigh.
