In fact, after Kai Zi renamed the High Elves as Blood Elves, the Blood Elves had another huge problem — Mana Addiction.
As a transmigrator, Duque knew how to deal with Mana Addiction. Of course, he wouldn't expose the Well of the Sun before it happened.
It would be bad enough if the Well of the Alliance accidentally exploded. You could even predict Mana Addiction … How dare you say you didn't set us High Elves up?
Uh, sometimes, it wasn't a good thing to know too much about the situation!
It was easy to hide it from outsiders, but not from the Windrunner sisters, who had amazing intuition.
Mana Addiction was a harmless problem, so Duque simply let it happen.
Of course, the premise was that the Well of the Sun had to be contaminated like in history, and then it had to be exploded …
As the ultimate treasure of the High Elves, the defense of the Well of the Sun was naturally the most important. The king could be replaced if he died, but if the Well of the Sun exploded, the High Elves' lifeline would be gone.
The Well of the Sun was in danger, and the elves all looked like their butts were on fire.
Duque … No rush!
Speaking of the Well of the Sun, from Duque's point of view, it was better to destroy it.
Publicly, as long as the Well of the Sun existed, the High Elves might not be able to use it to create a Breaking Dawn Pharaoh, but they could have as many ordinary Mages as they wanted.
After two disasters, the elves had lost a lot of strength, but given enough time, a new version of the Silver Moon Parliament would be in power sooner or later.
Think about it, the High Elves looked down on their fellow Night Elves; would they really look up to humans, dwarves, and gnomes?
Once their wings hardened again, the High Elves would definitely start clamoring to separate from the Alliance again. It couldn't be helped. Most of the High Elves had an incurable disease of "arrogance" flowing in their bones.
As long as the Well of the Sun was not damaged, the elves would never be able to completely integrate into the Alliance.
Also, privately …
The current situation was that the Mages had completely declined, and the Rangers had risen.
The two leaders of the Rangers, Lor 'themar and Haduron, were the Windrunner sisters' minions. Sylvanas had already become famous in this battle. Duque didn't know how far she could go in the future, but he would be happy no matter which one of the Windrunner sisters came to power.
Wasn't it good to have one of their own on the stage?
There was no way Duque would deliberately leave the Sun Well behind to nurture a hostile Pharaoh, steal Cuel Salas's power, and set the Alliance up, right?
In that case, Duque would be a first-class moron.
Seeing that Duque and Sylvanas had gathered the High Elves and were preparing to rush to the Well of the Sun, the silly Kael 'thas felt warmth in his heart.
Indeed, Duque was the eternal best friend of the High Elves!
Duque didn't know what Kai Zi was thinking. If he knew, his reputation as the Best Actor would fall apart today.
Upon hearing that Duque wanted to send them away, Kael 'thas gritted his teeth and made a slightly unreasonable request. "Duque, before I leave, I hope to see that the Sunwell is fine …"
Movie Emperor Du's expression was solemn. "I can't guarantee anything for the Sunwell. I didn't mean to stall for time. "
Actually, I did it on purpose … Why don't you bite me?
"You …" Astromancer Kaponia was indignant. Her intuition told her that Duque wasn't willing to do his best.
Kai Zi pulled her back. "You'll never know how terrifying Arthas is if you haven't faced him face to face."
"Your Highness, didn't you and Sir Marcus defeat him once?" Kaponia asked softly.
Kael 'thas had personally experienced that battle. Both he and Duque had bitter expressions on their faces.
The Calamity Army's foundation was too strong. In that battle, the Alliance had lost a total of nine peerless experts. The Tribe had lost a famous former Great Chief Orgrim, and the Alliance had lost a Breaking Dawn Antonidas. In the end, Arthas had still escaped …
It was a huge loss.
Duque explained, "Defeating a peerless expert and destroying one are two completely different things. Moreover, there's information that Arthas became stronger after killing his master, Uther. Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty Anastrian surrendered so easily? "
The pupils of Kai Zi's followers suddenly shrank. "You mean …"
"Antonidas used the power of darkness to suppress the Sun King. The one who really forced the Sun King to surrender was the demigod Arthas!"
For a moment, the surrounding air fell silent.
No one said anything.
Finally, Kael 'thas' mouth twitched a few times. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly knelt down and said loudly, "Is there no way to stop Arthas' madness? Duque, I know you have the best way. If the Alliance can do its best to help Cuel Salas this time, my followers and I are willing to be servants of the Marcus family for the rest of our lives! "
This time, not only was Duque shocked, even the elves who were running around gathering were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks.
It was true that with Kael 'thas' identity, it was impossible for him to join other forces or serve under someone else in such a despicable way.
Although most of the elves united and exiled Kael 'thas because of his mistake, Kael' thas was no longer a high and mighty prince on formal occasions. But all the elves still recognized Kael 'thas as the prince of the High Elves.
Now that Kael 'thas suddenly made such a request, all the elves couldn't help but be in awe.
No matter how serious Kael 'thas' mistake of choosing sides was, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the future of the elves. Such an act and such a noble sentiment immediately resonated with the majority of the elves.
With the Great Astromancer Solarian, a famous Boss in the future as the leader, all of Kael 'thas' followers knelt to Duque.
This wasn't all of Kai Zi's followers, but there were hundreds of them.
It was a spectacular scene to see so many people kneeling in one go.
One had to know that Kael 'thas' oath was very heavy. He didn't know that Duque was actually immortal. He was completely measuring the lifespan of a human by the lifespan of an elf. In his heart, he was prepared to serve Duque and Duque's descendants for the rest of his life, until his own lifespan came to an end.
This time, it was Duque who was dumbfounded.
Damn, it was naturally very cool to have a prince of a kingdom as a follower.
The problem was that Duque hadn't communicated with William yet! Although Duque firmly believed that William would be as wise and powerful as he was in history, it would be difficult to clean up the mess if his grand duke took in a High Elven prince as a follower without informing him beforehand!
Duque had an idea. "Kael 'thas! You, you, you've caused me so much trouble! I've long prepared a big move against Arthas. Although I wasn't 100% confident, you only came to say that you wanted to be a servant now. If word gets out, it'll be like I've prepared everything before tricking you to be my servant! "
