The pursuit mission was ultimately led by Lothar and Turalyon. Galen wasn't interested, so he didn't volunteer. His new mission was to return to the Wall of Stromgarde to guard the eastern beaches and the Durnholde Keep line.
Of course, Galen also proactively requested to assist the Wildhammer dwarves in clearing out the remaining orc forces in the Hinterlands forest, in exchange for Kurdran being able to stay under Lothar's command without any worries.
This kind of action, which showed a sense of overall situation and responsibility, was unanimously praised by Lothar, Terenas, and Kurdran.
After resting for one night, Lothar took Turalyon and the others to begin the pursuit. Terenas also began to get busy.
The northern part of Lordaeron City, with the royal palace as the boundary, had all the houses severely damaged up to the city gate. Terenas needed to repair the houses and city walls, appease the people, and then clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses. These tasks alone were enough to make Terenas extremely busy.
Speaking of which, the last ten thousand elite orcs who entered the city had a very strong fighting will. More than eight thousand died in battle, and the rest were seriously injured and lost their fighting ability before being captured.
It seems that the sequelae of their demon blood haven't started to show yet. It can only be said that Galen accelerated the process of the war. The orcs said, 'I can still fight!'
Galen ran away early that morning, taking advantage of the fact that Jaina was still sleeping in Tirisfal Glades, and then ordered Gandalf to continue staying in Dalaran. How could he usurp the nest later if he didn't become familiar with the place?
Besides, aren't you going to teach apprentices? You can't build a car behind closed doors. Dalaran's arcane atmosphere is so strong, it's just right for Jaina and Ilucia to communicate with mage apprentices of equal strength.
For this reason, Galen reluctantly allocated 100,000 gold coins from his small treasury to Gandalf, so that he could apply to build his own mage tower in Dalaran.
Currently, the balance of the war between the Alliance and the Horde has begun to tilt towards the Alliance. Lothar has also begun to plan encirclement and counterattacks. With the Alliance's heavy troops guarding the passes, Dalaran should not be destroyed by the orcs and then relocated from Croc Isle in Lordamere Lake to the south bank of the lake.
Having ensured this, Galen dared to let Gandalf buy land and build his own mage tower with confidence. It must be bigger, taller, and more magnificent than the mage towers of the Kirin Tor Six!
For this reason, Galen also specially invited a high elf mage staying in Dalaran to help with the design drawings. In terms of exquisite magnificence, who in Azeroth can compare to the mages of Quel'Thalas?
Returning to Dangar's Rest in the Eastern Beaches, Galen suddenly returned to Dalaran again without Sylvanas knowing. Don't get me wrong, he's not going on a date with Jaina. A eight-year-old child, still using Jaina's name, Galen is that kind of uncle.
He had agreed with Kael'thas to meet at his mage tower in order to fulfill the original agreement.
More than a dozen dragonhawk cubs had been sent to Silvermoon City by Baron Sanguinar. Galen didn't care whether they were cubs or adult dragonhawks. Anyway, it was just a guise, so that the dragonhawks in his base could appear in Azeroth openly in the future.
These are all the descendants of the dragonhawks you sent over. They are treated better than princes in Stromgarde. They don't have to do anything. They eat and drink enough every day, and then they reproduce. Moreover, the female dragonhawks are very productive, with many dragonhawk eggs in each nest.
Whether the high elves believe it or not, Galen believes it anyway.
This time, he came to Dalaran to strengthen his weapon, Trol'kalar.
Kael'thas generously opened the teleportation channel of his mage tower. Galen chose the pay-to-win Medivh's Portal spell, arriving silently.
The main reason was to avoid Jaina. That little girl was too clingy. Once she clung to him, she was like glue, hanging on Galen's body as an ornament for a long time. It was too eye-catching. There were many high elves inside Dalaran. Who knows if there are any friends of Sylvanas in here?
The one who received Galen was Capernia, one of Kael'thas's advisors. Because Galen and Kael'thas were close, everyone around him also respected Galen very much.
If it were an ordinary human, they wouldn't have such good treatment. Even if they had super strength, they might not be able to gain the respect of this group of high elf nobles.
The arrogance of the high elves is notoriously sky-high, but Galen doesn't care about this. As long as they are arrogant enough, they will offend other countries, and from then on, the high elves will only be good with my Stromgarde.
Before long, a teleportation gate appeared at the location where Galen had teleported earlier, and Kael'thas appeared.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Galen!" Although Galen had only arrived less than half an hour early, Kael'thas was still very polite and had a very good temper, especially towards his good friend Galen.
"The military affairs in Quel'Thalas are too busy, and I was held up for a while."
The high elf civilians began to return to their original homes one after another. While the Silvermoon Council was repairing the runestone defense line, they did not forget to fight for power and profit. Galen attributed all the merits of this war to Kael'thas and the Windrunner family.
And Zul'Aman is the last merit in the entire forest. The Council faction is counting on this place to wash away their previous shame. Therefore, the Council faction's army also set off for Axe Ridge, just to get the last piece of the pie.
Kael'thas didn't fight the trolls much, but was busy arguing with the legion commander of the Council faction. Fortunately, he still occupied the title of Supreme Military Commander of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and firmly suppressed the Council faction with the position of Marshal.
"It's okay, I haven't been here long either." Galen's patience was not bad, and it didn't matter for a while. Moreover, Capernia didn't neglect him and took him to visit all parts of the mage tower except for the prince's private living area.
"Zul'jin is no ordinary troll." Galen commented on the situation in Quel'Thalas. "Zul'Aman is not a dilapidated Amani Pass that can be easily breached."
In later generations, the elites of the Alliance and the Horde united to break through the walls of Zul'Aman. Vol'jin led his elite Shimon'quash hunters, Halduron led the ranger corps to personally take action, and even Vereesa and the high elves of the Alliance's Silver Covenant were dispatched.
"If other legions are eager to be in the vanguard, let them go. When they have consumed Zul'jin's strength, won't you be able to pick the peaches at the end? As long as the final battle report is written well, the one who enters Zul'Aman first and the one who catches Zul'jin will be the most meritorious!"
These are golden words, containing the strategies of killing with a borrowed knife, waiting for work at leisure, and deceiving the sky to cross the sea. Galen felt that Kael'thas should pay him some tuition fees.
"Alright, Galen, I know all this. Take out your longsword!"
