Under Richard's plan, the High Elf Kingdom is preparing to increase its population to 200,000 in 20 years and to 1 million in 50 years. As for whether it will continue to increase in the future, it depends on the situation at that time. Richard's use of blood magic to change the growth period of the High Elves is not irreversible. If there are one million High Elves and they are also managed militarily, Richard feels that the High Elf Kingdom can really sweep Azeroth. One million High Elves can at least pull out 500,000 high-level professionals, at least 5,000 legendary professionals, there will definitely be a few demigods, and there may be 300,000 high-level mages. With such a huge military capability, the Burning Legion will also be cold. The ancient Elf Interstellar Empire in the multiverse controlled countless planes, and at that time, the gods had to give in again and again. There were elves in almost all planes. The strength of the Elf Empire at that time was far greater than that of the Arcane Empire. After a day of discussion, the new Quel'Thalas Alliance was soon born. After the Alliance leaders and many parliamentarians had a heated argument, a fight, and a cross-out, it was because of friendly negotiations that the new Alliance agreement was finally freshly released. The agreement was signed not only by Quel'Thalas, Lordaeron, and Aerie Mountain, but also by Dalaran. A dozen high-level mages of Dalaran discussed and finally decided to join. The conference hall was quiet, and then they were ready to sign and seal the documents prepared by all parties. "Now, before the kings of various countries sign and seal, I will read the agreement for the last time. After the agreement is read, if everyone has no objections, then after everyone signs, this agreement will officially take effect!" Richard looked around at everyone and saw that everyone had no objections, and began to read aloud.
The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the Alliance of Lordaeron, the Kingdom of the Wildhammer Dwarves of Aerie Mountain, and the Alliance Kingdom of Dalaran, the offensive and defensive alliance agreement treaty. Referred to as the Quel'Thalas Alliance. The treaty is as follows: Article 1: All contracting parties recognize and respect the legitimacy of the kings or leaders of the contracting parties, and do not recognize that other people or forces usurp the throne or control any contracting party in the form of puppets by any illegal means. Respect the internal affairs of each contracting party, and other contracting parties cannot interfere in their internal affairs without the request of the king or leader recognized by the contracting party. Article 2: The four countries will formally establish an offensive and defensive alliance from the date of signing the document. When any member state or force in the alliance is attacked and invaded by other countries or forces, other member states must do their best to provide military or other assistance. Article 3: After formal consultations in the alliance, when the leader of the alliance declares war on a country outside the alliance, all countries and forces in the alliance must give full support and declare war on the country or force at the same time. Article 4: After the four allied countries formally sign the alliance agreement, all residents of the four countries can freely enjoy the freedom of business and travel within the four countries, but must abide by their own laws, and the country must also guarantee their personal freedom, safety, private property and other basic rights from being violated. Article 5: The Four-Nation Alliance can enjoy the right to share intelligence with the other three countries, and the right of military passage after clear notification. Article 6: Any contracting party shall not withdraw from the alliance without the consent of the other contracting parties, and any country or force outside the alliance shall not join the alliance without the consent of all contracting parties. Article 7: All contracting parties respect the territorial integrity of each contracting party. Additional Treaty: Within the first month after the agreement takes effect, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, as the leader of the alliance, must unconditionally send troops to help the Kingdom of Lordaeron Alliance, the Kingdom of the Dwarf Lords of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and the Dalaran Alliance eliminate the threats of undead, demons and trolls in their territories. The order of sending troops can be negotiated by themselves. At the same time, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas needs to provide the other three kingdoms with monthly rations for 200,000 people every month, and the rations are distributed in the proportion of 60% for Lordaeron, 30% for dwarves, and 10% for Dalaran. The term is one year after the signing of the alliance treaty. After the treaty was read, the four signatories all signed the treaty and the treaty officially came into effect. After each party collected its own treaty, the Four-Nation Alliance was officially established. After completing the alliance formation, Richard immediately ordered the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas to mobilize 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 rock golems to form an army and start clearing out the undead and demons in Lordaeron. At the same time, he ordered the food to be transported to Stratholme. The high elves are now all soldiers, so it is not a problem to mobilize 10,000 people. Richard and Kael'thas are responsible for commanding the army, and Sylvanas returned to Silvermoon City to stay. Next, the army of Quel'Thalas began to clear out the undead and demons in Lordaeron together with the army of Lordaeron. Archimonde took away a large number of demons, and the undead army was also scattered everywhere. Facing the counterattack of the army of Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron, the undead army was no match at all. Two thousand rock golems formed a front to advance, the elven rangers used bows and arrows to support, and the mages attacked important targets. Kael'thas and several legendary high elves kept an eye on the battlefield at all times, and took action as soon as they found a powerful enemy. On the other side was the Lordaeron coalition army that was responsible for coordinating the attack. Richard did not take action in this operation. He just marked the dangerous enemies with spell marks and asked Kael'thas to deal with them. Because of the rock golem, the high elves had almost no casualties, at most some were injured. After the injury, the high elves' paladins or priests would treat them.
Since Richard analyzed the fundamental source of the power of paladins and priests last time, many high elves have become full-time paladins and priests. In order to help these elves specialize, Richard deliberately used the mental suggestion effect of the mind gem. Help these high elves strengthen their will and beliefs. The power of holy light is not truth, goodness, and beauty, nor is it the so-called virtues of knights. Those are a layer of clothing that humans wrap around the power of holy light. The holy light is more about the power of the mind. Richard used suggestion to those elves to make them firm in their belief in defending their country. Sometimes a lie is told a thousand times or ten thousand times, and someone will take it as true. What's more, the belief that Richard helped them find was originally true. Coupled with mental suggestion, these high elves quickly found their own holy light power. The most important thing about the Holy Light is to believe that you are right. If you doubt your path or what you have done, the Holy Light will dissipate. The most important thing about Paladins and Priests is to shape your beliefs. Therefore, Paladins and Priests soon appeared among the High Elves. This kind of idealistic power requires the user to believe from the bottom of their hearts. But it is often difficult for people to do so, so at this time, we need to rely on the power of religion and use religion to strengthen our faith. As long as they are normal human beings, they will have the nature of pursuing justice, fairness, kindness, benevolence, and courage. Integrating these into religion is also easier for people to believe. But even so, there are many devout believers who cannot use the Holy Light. The main factor here is that he does not have an unwavering belief in his heart. The effect of mental suggestion is very good. Li Jue thinks that the Paladin should be cultivated from an early age for better results, because children are more likely to deceive, no, cross it out, it is easier to believe that the Holy Light (deception) protects you. The high elves attacked quickly. The rock golem army was powerful in close combat. Ordinary undead were no match for it. They also had spells. Except for high-level undead, they were completely crushed on the battlefield. Crypt spiders, gargoyles, and abominations were also defeated by the rock golems. Occasionally, some high-level undead would be immediately attacked by the high elf rangers behind them. Even if some undead mages and corpse wizards appeared, they would be finished immediately after appearing in front of the elven mage group. Those high-level undead and demons wanted to resist, but Kael'thas and others had been waiting for them. The undead Scourge, which lacked high-level power, was constantly destroyed. The Lordaeron Alliance was shocked when they saw those rock golems. There are many types of rock golems. In addition to those on the ground, there are also obsidian gargoyle golems. This kind of golem is used as a cover for the dragon eagle knights. After a battle, the high elves had almost no casualties, and only those rock golems were damaged. The damage to the golem is not a big problem, just repair it directly. As long as the soul core is not broken, the rest can be replaced. The undead army was destroyed. Although the land belongs to Lordaeron, the spoils are all from the high elves. The probability of low-level undead dropping soul crystal fragments is 1 in 300, and the probability of medium-level undead dropping soul crystals and large soul crystals is also very low, about 1%. The probability of high-level undead dropping high-level soul crystals is 1 in 10, and legendary-level undead can obtain legendary soul crystals as long as they have soul binding. The number of undead scourge armies in a city ranges from hundreds of thousands to 300,000. Although 90% are low- and medium-level undead, the number of the remaining 10% is also very large. Therefore, every war has a large amount of soul crystal benefits. Ordinary soul crystals and fragments can be used for enchantment, and large soul crystals are used to make puppet golems. As for the high-level soul crystals, they were collected by Richard. In a war, at least dozens of high-level soul crystals can be harvested, and at most hundreds can be harvested. High-level soul crystals have many uses, such as legendary magic items, which all require high-level soul crystals. Richard estimated that this undead plague could provide at least 500 to 1,000 high-level soul crystals. It seems a lot, but you have to know that at least half of the people in the eastern continent died because of this war. Lordaeron has a population of millions, and the last one left may be only a million. Several other countries also suffered heavy losses, with a total death toll of more than 10 million. Richard has not encountered many cases where so many people died in a short period of time in a war. This happened every time in the Motailai world, such as the [Collapse of the Arcane Empire], the [Collapse of the Elven Empire] in the Third Age, the [Turbulent Years] event in the Toril world, and the [Destruction of the Soul Sucker Empire] event. Each of these times caused the death of more than half of the population in the main material world, and caused serious consequences. In comparison, this undead plague is nothing.
The main problem of the undead scourge is that there are not many high-level forces, and even fewer legendary ones, only Kel'Thuzad and Arthas. One of the reasons why the Scourge of Undead was able to sweep across the eastern continent was the surprise attack, which did not give countries time to react, and the other was the human wave tactics. Especially the surprise attack effect, the Scourge of Undead broke out directly inside the country, and spread rapidly in the early stage of the outbreak, causing the country's order to collapse quickly, and the army could not react at all. Later, it was the human wave tactics, after all, the low-level undead were very weak and could only rely on the accumulation of numbers. The undead army of Lordaeron has millions of people. After several wars, the number has dropped a lot. After the high elves and Lordaeron launched a full-scale counterattack, the number of undead is decreasing rapidly. There are very few undead who can be promoted to legendary by themselves. Basically, all legendary undead are summoned after the death of legendary strongmen. Therefore, there are very few legendary undead in the undead army. As soon as this level of undead appears, they will be dealt with by Richard or Kael'thas. Each legendary undead is a legendary soul crystal, and Richard will not give up. This time, Richard will take half of the high-level soul crystals and legendary soul crystals harvested from the counterattack against the undead Scourge army, and the rest will be put into the treasury of Quel'Thalas. Just when the Quel'Danas Alliance began to counterattack, Archimonde also crossed the Endless Sea. This expedition may take several months. But the latest Burning Legion will land on the continent of Kalimdor twenty-one years after the opening of the Dark Portal. This battle will be the second large-scale battle that has broken out in the world of Azeroth since the War of the Ancients. This war started by the Burning Legion, which has long disappeared, swept across nearly half of the land of two continents, with more than 10 million people and dozens of races, is almost coming to an end. Both sides have gathered almost all their forces on the continent of Kalimdor. Archimonde, the ‘Sun Tree’, is about to start showing his showmanship, and the World Tree on Mount Hyjal has also ushered in its fate. To be honest, Richard has never understood why Archimonde didn’t just open a large teleportation array in Azeroth to teleport the Burning Legion and Sargeras together, but why he had to find those night elves. Of course, it may also be because he is too conceited and greedy, and wants to swallow the Well of Eternity. It can only be said that Archimonde has not learned any lessons from the War of the Ancients. During the War of the Ancients, the Well of Eternity ended with an explosion, and the Burning Legion at that time was directly killed by the explosion that tore the continent apart. As a result, 10,000 years later, Archimonde actually fell into the same pit again.
