Chapter 178 Capture Them
"Get 'em!"
The Violet Eye Enforcer shouted, and the guards behind him rushed forward to pull the 'Lightbringer' out of the crowd.
Khadgar remained calm, as if the verbal attack had had no effect on him. However, Lorraine saw a hint of sadness in the eyes of this aged but still robust guardian...
The guards of Dalaran not only possess magical abilities, but are also equipped with enchanted gear.
The enchanted armor grants these refined mages the strength of a bear, the agility of a leopard, and the speed of an eagle. They also possess an invisible energy shield that can push aside crowds.
The key point is that these enchanted armors seem to be able to become invisible, only appearing during combat.
That's really cool and awesome.
However, the members of the Holy Light Inquisition were not afraid of the Dalaran guards at all. This group of holy priests and monks protected the provocateur in the center. Their staffs shone brightly; everyone knew the Holy Light spell.
If these people are evil, strangely enough, the Holy Light responds to their call.
The very fact that the Holy Light responds to the call of these evil beings demonstrates that the Holy Light lacks human moral standards; they are merely energy beings. The radiance of the Naaru is unique; the omnipresent light in the universe exhibits a tendency... it is attracted to certain forces or materials. Therefore, the Holy Light is not a standard for judging good and evil...
"Those who resist will be killed without exception."
The mild-mannered Mr. Van Ershigudbinger, abandoning his previous gentle demeanor, issued an angry warning.
These people have gone too far. Insulting him is one thing, but showing contempt for him and Babagarno is another. They are merely ordinary enforcers of Dalaran, but Master Khadgar is not only one of the six High Priests of the Kirin Tor, but also a hero of the human race.
The entire city of Dalaran strives to protect this world and maintain order and peace.
These charlatans are so rude and vicious in their attacks on the entire Dalaran.
The members of the Kirin Tor all understand Khadgar's efforts and contributions. Did he get his position as Speaker out of thin air?
Whether it was back then or this time, opening the portal back to Azeroth from Outland.
This human guardian has made tremendous contributions, yet he treats everyone with kindness and equality, respecting and protecting every citizen of Dalaran... The more someone is like this, the more people will spontaneously respect and protect them.
The previous chaos was nothing compared to this complete breakdown in relations.
"Wait, guards, step back. I'll take this envoy's words as mere rambling and ignore my criticisms and comments; justice will prevail... But Stormwind, I'd like to know, is this the courtesy you show to Dalaran?"
Just before the swords clashed, Khadgar stopped the guards from making a move.
If a fight breaks out, Dalaran will be fighting on home ground, and with all the big shots involved, it certainly won't be at a disadvantage.
But it's not necessary.
It wasn't just a matter of Khadgar's personal reputation... He wanted to know if this was the official stance of Stormwind, the current leader of the Alliance? The Inquisition of the Light had come independently, but behind them stood the envoy of the Archbishop of Light and secret agents from SI:7.
And the Scarlet Crusade!
These groups seem to have formed a temporary 'alliance' and are not very friendly towards Dalaran.
The Blood Knights of Silvermoon City and the representatives from Ravenholdt Manor watched the show from the sidelines... The Syndicate, some free agents, and travelers ate their fill, while the guides of the Silver Covenant found themselves in a dilemma.
What kind of trouble is it to have guests you invited cause a scene in your own home...?
The sun-stealer's face showed disdain and contempt.
Lorraine and his apprentice, however, became excited... They really wanted to see these big shots fight!
Khadgar's questions were primarily directed at the Stormwind envoy, who had remained silent throughout the crowd. Everyone had overlooked the fact that Stormwind had sent an envoy as well. People were easily drawn to the ornately dressed holy priests, who represented the Church of Light and, consequently, the Alliance… this was the mortal's perception.
The bigwigs, however, understood that the real person in charge was more low-key than they imagined...
"General Marcus, why don't you speak?"
Tyrande Fordring was one of the few who knew that Stormwind still had a true representative. If he could reach Laran, how could the true Lightbringer who had saved him in Ambermill be absent?
However, Marcus also seemed to be caught in doubts about the Holy Light... As a core member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, news of the Naaru was truly unbelievable to the paladins. Marcus received news from Turalyon in Dalaran that his former superior was still alive, which was good news.
However, the message that Khadgar had sent back from his superior was indeed shocking.
The Legion of Light, the Draenei, the Naaru!
Aldor, Astrologer, Shattrath.
Exodar, the Prophet, and the Burning Legion may return...
Turalyon and the expeditionary force still have to fight the Void Demons. "The races of Azeroth must unite as one to fight the enemy. The Legion of Light will launch a counterattack on the demons' lair. Everyone must put aside their grudges and prepare..."
Marcus had mixed feelings when he learned of these public and semi-public reports.
His faith in the Holy Light was unlike that of those charlatans; it was a heartfelt devotion... So the Naaru did indeed shock him, but his faith in the Holy Light did not waver; he was simply amazed that the Holy Light could truly manifest in the world.
However, the next question is difficult to answer: should the Alliance and the Horde fight together against the enemy?
The Alliance is no longer the united group of the seven human kingdoms and city-states it once was... The Horde is no longer a clan composed solely of orcs... The Scourge is still active, humanity has been divided for a long time, and the Dragon Aspects have not only failed to fulfill their responsibilities but have also joined the troublemaking forces.
Marcus is usually impulsive, but when faced with such a momentous event concerning the fate of the world, he cannot simply respond casually...
What's more, I have a bunch of useless teammates around me today... the Church of Light, the Scarlet Crusade, the Draenei...
"Draenei, don't you have anything to announce to everyone?"
General Marcus squeezed his way out of the crowd, looking rather unimpressive, but he did bring out the Draenei.
Besides Marcus, the Draenei garrison commander Andre, who had just crushed the Scarlet Paladin in the Arena of Will, naturally represented the Alliance. He was sent by the Prophet to deliver the Prophet's prophecy to the world at the right time.
“Wait, Marcus, you’re really something. I’m being very serious about this.”
"I'm serious too! Lord Khadgar, I'm not joking anymore... I'm not the only representative of the Alliance. The Alliance isn't just a human alliance; now, night elves, dwarves, gnomes, and draenei are also members. Just as the Horde isn't just an orcish tribe, it also includes trolls, tauren, Forsaken, and blood elves!"
Khadgar couldn't help but chuckle at Marcus's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance...
“Alright, it seems I understand what you mean. Now, those who were rude earlier, please be quiet. I believe the Draenei prophet's prophecy and the announcement he is about to make are the same thing! Please listen attentively!”
With a snap of his fingers, Khadgar sent countless orbs of light crashing down from the sky, imprisoning everyone in the Inquisition. Those who had been subtly supporting the Inquisition were terrified and quickly scattered.
Inside the arena, all one could see were the fanatics frantically striking the blue magic sphere, unable to break free from its confinement... they could only watch silently from within the sphere!
Khadgar looked around with satisfaction, finally able to announce what he had been holding back for so long...
Lorraine was slightly disappointed that no one was fighting; his plan to escape during the chaos had become wishful thinking.
