Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

With the shocking fire in the Slaughter Valley, the troll war that stretched throughout the northern part of the Eastern Continent finally came to an end.

Most of the elite Amani were burnt together with the mighty Loa, only a very few fled out of the valley, fled into the forest in a hurry and disappeared without a trace.

The battle that concentrated all his energy was over, and the aged Thoradin calmed down from his agitated state, and intense exhaustion began to hit him.

In order to complete this battle to ambush the trolls, the 60-year-old Thoradin personally went into battle as a bait. He ran back and forth across the vast land in the northern part of the continent in just a few months, and his sleep time and quality were obviously insufficient. I couldn't hold it anymore.

Human beings in this era can live to be 60 years old. Thoradin truly realized the fact that he was no longer young during this war, which made him think of abdicating and living in seclusion after the victory of the war.

The grand celebration banquet was held in Alterac Fortress, the frontline stronghold that witnessed the victory, and the Sun King Anasteria, who was busy with domestic affairs, sent it over to attend the banquet.

With the help of human beings to survive this crisis, the senior officials of Quel'Thalas who participated in the banquet still felt a little awkward.

Anasterian behaved very naturally, he and Thoradin were talking and laughing and discussing the details of the war.

After some communication, Thoradin learned of the two forces behind the battlefield.

Not only are there two dedicated night elf military advisers on their side to help, but the Amani trolls are also assisted by their suzerain Zandalari.

This feeling of being randomly pointed on the chessboard as a chess piece by others is not very comfortable for any promising king.

But Thoradin was the wise monarch who created human history after all, and he quickly let go of his unhappiness under the Sun King's explanation.

In any case, the night elves played a lot behind the battle.

The training of Arathor's soldiers has improved their discipline, and the alliance with Quel'Thalas can be quickly promoted because they are quietly building a bridge.

The same holds true for Anasteria.

Although in the situation where the two races are at odds, as long as the Kingdom of Arathor receives Quel'Thalas' call for help, there is a high probability that it will send troops to help, but the time when the covenant is concluded and the speed of sending troops to aid will definitely not be so fast.

Arathor's high-efficiency assistance kept Quel'Thalas' death toll within a barely acceptable range.

If Amani breaks through the defense line of Qingfeng Village, Silvermoon City, which is not well-defended, will be directly exposed to the barbaric soldiers of the trolls, and the elf villages and towns scattered throughout the Eversong Forest will also suffer more serious blows.

After finishing their conversation, Thoradin and Anasterian started chatting with the spirit of wine and the atmosphere of the banquet.

Sun King, you said that beautiful lady who looks younger than my daughter is yours...

Seeing the stunned expression on Thoradin's face, Anasteria smiled wryly and said, Yes, she is my grandfather's younger sister. I should call her aunt.

this……

Thoradin asked with his eyes wide open, Excuse me, this lady... and the other night elves around her, how old are they?

The high elves had contact with humans in Tirisfal Glades in their early years, and their longevity has long been known to humans.

For humans with less than a hundred years of life, the high elves with a life span of nearly 4,000 years are enough to make people enviable. I didn't expect that there are even higher mountains outside this mountain.

Anasteria smiled lightly and shook the wine glass in his hand, I don't know the exact ages of the others, but my great-aunt Celeste should be... over 7,000 years old this year.

7000...

Thoradin smiled wryly and drank the fine Quel'Thalas wine in his cup. This number was unimaginable to him.

Feeling the bursts of weakness from his own body feedback, this gap is even more serious.

'Longevity species... why do human beings only have a few decades of lifespan? Is it a curse we have suffered? '

No matter how wise a king is in his later years, he cannot escape an eternal problem - the pursuit of longevity.

Rather, the more wise kings are, the more persistent and longevity they are, because they don't want the great cause they created to decline in the hands of younger generations.

Judging from Andrea’s experience brought from the earth, the kings within the first three generations of each dynasty will be more wise. Those who have experienced wars cherish the hard-won peace, and they will pay more attention to the education of their younger generations. .

But as the peace continues, the kings after three generations will start to enjoy themselves, and the once powerful dynasty will gradually begin to decline. This is a normal law of development.

The general trend of the world, the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be united. This sentence is not just a joke. In the end, the change of dynasty is the same thing.

The ancestors conquered the world, and the younger generations defeated the world.

The longevity of various countries and dynasties on the earth only exists in fantasy after all, at least before Andrea traveled, science had not yet developed to the point where human beings can live forever.

But in Azeroth, longevity is not just a legend, and Thoradin has very vivid examples before his eyes.

Against the contrast of the elves, Thoradin felt more and more unhappy, and he began to wonder if there was something wrong with the origin of human beings.

After the celebration banquet ended, Arathor and Quel'Thalas continued to arrange for the army to hunt down and expel the trolls, and at the same time began to stabilize the many problems caused by the war in the country.

Under the collective persuasion of the ministers, Thoradin announced his last important decision during his reign.

The Kingdom of Arathor was promoted to the Empire of Arathor, and the title of King Thoradin became Emperor Thoradin.

Afterwards, Emperor Thoradin divided up the too vast territory of the Arathor Empire, and many generals who made contributions in the war were sent to various places to guard it.

Just after being promoted to the Great Emperor, Thoradin immediately announced in front of many ministers that he was about to abdicate and handed over the throne to his eldest son.

The abdication of the founding king Thoradin caused quite a shock in the Arathor Empire, but Thoradin's determination was extremely firm, and no one's persuasion changed his mind.

Andrea and others witnessed the whole process of Arathor's transformation into an empire. The abdicated Thoradin left on the day after the throne handover ceremony.

Aurora asked her father puzzled, Father, why did Thoradin abdicate at this time? Humanity still has many problems to be solved, right?

Who knows.

Riding on Onyxia's back, Andrea looked meaningfully at a group of knights who were galloping northward towards the Tirisfal Forest.

Maybe it's something I learned from the conversation with Anasteria some time ago, and I want to prove my thoughts before the end of my life.
