"Teacher, is there no other way? I'll work with you, along with these humans, and we'll fight our way across the ice. I think those monsters are just low-level ghouls. Although there are many of them, with your strength and our assistance, we should be fine."
Terra hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
She proposed a new plan... Upon hearing this, Romans glanced at the distant floating fortress. The violent explosion of magical energy emanating from the void behemoth was still present. Observing the surrounding sky and sea, Romans shook his head again.
“There’s no time to spare. Once Kel'Thuzad reacts, I won’t be able to protect you. His strength used to be no less than mine, and now his lich form is even more powerful. I’m afraid I can’t withstand his evil magic that absorbs magic.”
"We've made it in time, Master. They've risked their lives alongside us to investigate the whereabouts of the Holy Sword. Oh, and the Plaguebringer, Lorraine. Master, he's very strong. He was the one who held off that blue monster for us. Go find him; that way, we'll have a better chance of escaping..."
"Lorraine?"
Romans was slightly taken aback.
His own apprentice actually praised a non-blood elf mage, and that mage was none other than an undead mage, whom blood elves despise the most...
Lorraine, the plague messenger, was indeed the person Romans wanted to see.
Aegwynn's protégé, and a full member of the new Council of Tirisfal. He is being recruited by several ancient magicians to join the new Council of Tirisfal.
This council does not restrict human or elven mages from becoming members of the Guardians of Azeroth, and even recruits various Horde figures. As long as one adheres to the new council's principles and takes it upon themselves to save and protect Azeroth, there are no restrictions based on race, faction, class, or past transgressions...
The new council was initiated by Aegwynn, a human weapon seeking redemption. She not only represents the strongest force of the Guardians of all time, but also has a large number of followers and a new group of Forsaken mages.
Master Merlin, the hidden guardian of Dalaran, is an even more important ancient figure, a human who has lived for thousands of years.
No, Merlin is no longer human. He was originally a necromancer and undead mage who was transformed into an undead and was of sound mind. He was imprisoned in the secret realm of Dalaran in the past, but now he has become a living fossil and a true guardian.
This also represents the opinion of the elders of the Council of Tirisfal, who had previously fallen out with Aegwynn.
The three treasures Lorraine once possessed—the magic bag, the Kirin Tor original insignia, and the broken Guardian Key staff—symbolized the ancients' willingness to reconcile with Aegwynn...
The only problem with the new Council of Tirisfal is that the human members don't seem to have made a statement yet.
Romans, as the chief archmage of the blood elves, originally wanted to meet Lorraine to test what kind of person this legendary talent, favored by Aegwynn, really was...
But now is not the time; Atonement Isle is a dead end.
The battle between several factions had just concluded, but the looted Void Beast was not merely prey. It was itself the embodiment of the Void forces and their henchmen... Romans arrived at the scene, circling high in the sky, not only to avoid the ground fire of the Scourge mages but also to observe the Void Beast that seemed to be emitting shadow power.
That thing seems even harder to deal with than Kel'Thuzad.
After some deliberation, he had initially decided that he should rescue his beloved disciple, Terra, before incurring further losses...
Unexpectedly, Terra handed him what he wanted.
Right now, taking the treasure and leaving is indeed the best option.
......
Why not save your subordinates?
The three-thousand-year-old Blood Elf Archmage didn't even blink an eye when several high-ranking soldiers brought by Master Romans were shot down on the sea and their whereabouts became unknown.
The Grand Master's goal for this trip is clear...
His only goals are the secret treasure and his disciple Terra.
The fate of the Sunreaver squad rested solely on their own... When Archmage Romans announced that only three could be taken, the Blood Knight, Ranger, and Spellbreaker automatically distanced themselves from Captain Terra, pushing the wounded Blood Elf Priestess Alice and the fallen Dragonhawk Knight's corpse towards them...
"Captain, you go with Lord Romans first. Take Alice with you, and the three of us will break through along the ice... If all goes well, we'll meet up in Silvermoon City."
The ranger spoke to Captain Terra, his eyes devoid of any other emotion. After giving a military salute, he turned and pushed the injured dragonhawk 'Ballball' onto the small boat, tying the wooden stick to the hull and carving two smooth bases with his battle blade.
"Captain, we will do our best to protect Qiuqiu's safety. You should go now. We are already very happy that you have fought alongside us until now."
Terra shook her head reluctantly; in the past, she would never have hesitated.
But after this ordeal, especially after encountering Lorraine again and witnessing the ugly and arrogant necromancer's several foolish and bizarre actions, she absolutely cannot abandon her companions, or even the five human survivors who have persevered until now.
......
"Terra! What are you hesitating for? Let's go!"
Before Terra could react, Archmage Romans noticed an even stronger and more dangerous aura emanating from the spot where the Great Lich and the Void Monster were fighting on the island. He could wait no longer...
With a pat on the head, the ancestral dragon eagle ceased to care about its descendants...
Taking flight, Captain Terra, originally a four-elemental war god at the level of a grand mage, was like a chick in the hands of her teacher.
With a gentle lift, an irresistible force threw Terra onto the back of the Proto-Dragonhawk.
Terra felt a purple ball of gravity magic pressing down on her back, rendering her immobile. Even her mouth was covered by magic, preventing her from speaking. She couldn't even utter a sound... only a stinging feeling welled up in her eyes as she watched her comrades salute.
Elf priestess Alice initially didn't want to leave, but after being glared at by Master Romans, the latter could only lean on the corpse of the fallen blood knight and mount the Proto-Dragonhawk...
Soon, a golden streak like lightning ripped through the azure sea and sky at dawn... The great lich Kel'Thuzad looked up and saw that Romans had left the territory of Atonement Isle with Terra... Originally, he had intended to command the gargoyles, plague dragons, and frost dragons to stop them.
However, after picking up the person, Romans clearly had no scruples and immediately moved away.
The speed is amazing.
Kel'Thuzad was unwilling, but if he could capture or kill Romans, the Scourge would gain another incredibly powerful necromancer...
Now that the other party had escaped, Kel'Thuzad sneered, "So the chief mage of Silvermoon City is nothing special! A coward just like your master! Romans, I despise you..."
"Hmph, what a magnificent lich! Good luck to you, for one day you and your master will face the judgment of the people!"
Romans uttered those words and quickly disappeared into the northern horizon...
Just as the High Lich was about to respond, the soul chains that had previously broken free from the Void Beast's shell were suddenly manipulated and guided by a tremendous force, turning around and binding the High Lich... Kel'Thuzad was unable to move, and as he wondered what was happening, Romans' figure appeared at the lookout point of the Death Fortress...
While Lorraine was still in a daze, a large hand grabbed her. "Come with me, Lorraine, the Plague Bringer!"
