In the last War of the Shifting Sands, the Night Elves were the main force against the Zergs. A large number of Night Elf warriors died on this land, and the yellow sand of the Silithus Desert was still red. It was the color of blood.
The Zergs once again rushed out of the fence, and what welcomed them was a thousand years of hatred.
With the addition of the Night Elf army, the pressure on the players wasn't just greatly reduced.
Lu Li stopped a sentry who was changing his quiver and said, "Respected warrior, thank you for your support. As you can see, my name is Lu Li, and I'm also an Elf. I want to pay a visit to the highest commander this time. May I ask which general is leading the team this time?"
The sentry glanced at Lu Li. He originally didn't want to pay attention to these adventurers.
However, this glance made him change his mind.
"In front of you, how can I be considered a warrior? Commander Lu Li, you and your subordinates have bought time for us to gather," the sentry said with admiration. They were Night Elf sentries. This race was originally very proud, and they were one of the most elite armies in Azeroth. They almost never paid attention to a motley crew of adventurers.
However, Lu Li was different. He had led his teammates to many First Clears.
What made the sentry feel even more admiration was that Lu Li had led a group of motley crew to block the Zerg army, and had held on for as long as ten hours.
The reason why these reinforcements came so slowly was because there was a battle that had happened before.
After finishing off the battle there, they rushed over. They thought that the entire Silithus might have fallen. The Chongzi army was spread across the plains, but they didn't expect that the Chongzi army would be blocked by this Elf commander and a group of motley crew.
As expected of someone from the Elf race!
"The Chongzi must be destroyed. Can you introduce me to the commander?" Lu Li asked.
"Of course, please follow me." The sentinel greeted his companion and led Lu Li to the back.
As he walked, he introduced the commander of this team to Lu Li. Thus, Lu Li learned that the commander of this team was Lord Jarod Shadowsong. He had been given full authority to command the defense against the insectoids. He had brought 5,000 Night Elf sentinels and 100 Priestesses of the Moon with him.
Don't think that this was a small number. The Night Elves were individually very powerful.
Even a million players might not be able to defeat a thousand Night Elf Sentinels, let alone a hundred Moon Priestesses.
Lu Li was not surprised by the size of the Sentinel team. What surprised him was that Jarod Shadowsong was in charge of leading the team this time.
Some people might not know who Jarod Shadowsong was, but from his surname, they might be able to think of one person — the Warden who had chased Illidan to the Outland for revenge — Maiev Shadowsong. The two were siblings.
Speaking of this, everyone might have to trace the noble lineage of Shadowsong's surname. But if they really thought that, they would be very wrong.
In fact, when the Ancient War broke out, Jarod Shadowsong had already been promoted to a captain in the Surama Guards. His sister, Maiev Shadowsong, was also a senior member of the Elune Sisterhood. The Shadowsong family did not have noble lineage. The siblings had earned their final positions through their own talents and hard work.
In order to guard against possible invasions, Jarod Shadowsong patrolled the Night Elves' territory. During one of his patrols, Jarod captured Krasus and threw this transmogrifying dragon into prison.
What? Who was Krasus?
He was a Red Dragon. His real name was Kallistrasz, and Krasus was his name in human form. As the youngest partner of the Queen of Life, Alexstrasz, Kallistrasz was a rare magic genius among the Red Dragons. When he was still young, he began to observe and study humanoid races and their behavior from a close distance. With the help of his transformation ability, Kallistrasz often sneaked into these races without anyone noticing.
A strange and extremely powerful phenomenon occurred on Krasus' body. It made him unable to return to his dragon form and made him very weak.
Under Krasus' magical persuasion, Jarod Shadowsong began to worry if Krasus would die before the interrogation. Thus, Jarod decided to find a Priestess of Elune to see if she could cure his prisoner.
He coincidentally met Tyrande Whisperwind, and she agreed to lend a helping hand.
Tyrande Whisperwind cured Krasus' illness. Krasus then agreed to help Tyrande's husband, Malfurion Stormrage, who was trapped in the Emerald Dream at the time.
At that time, the commander of the Night Elves who rebelled against the Burning Legion, Kotalus Rafincrest, saw Jarod Shadowsong's dedication in this matter. He decided to give a group of battle-hardened sentries to Jarod to command.
Jarod and his sentries' mission was to protect the four powerful spellcasters of the Night Elves: Malfurion Stormrage, Illidan Stormrage, Rhonin, and Krasus.
Under their efforts, the demigod of the forest, Cenarius, suddenly appeared. Jarod Shadowsong couldn't hide his surprise at this. Cenarius summoned Malfurion's soul from the Emerald Dream. After the soul returned to his body, Malfurion quickly recovered.
Jarod Shadowsong, Krasus, Malfurion, and Tyrande established a friendship because of this matter.
In the end, Malfurion and Krasus left the Night Elves to find other dragons and ask them to fight against the Burning Legion together. This time, they risked disobeying Kotalus Rafincrest's orders.
Even though Jarod Shadowsong couldn't stop the two spellcasters from leaving, Kotalus Rafincrest couldn't bear to blame him for this.
Later, Kotalus Rafincrest's strong leadership of the Night Elves completely angered Queen Azshara. She instructed Captain Varolsen to get rid of this noble. The assassination was a success, and Desdale Star-Eye became the new leader of the Night Elves.
Unfortunately, Desdale Star-Eye was lacking in tactics.
The invading Demons pretended to retreat, then suddenly attacked from the sky, catching the Night Elves off guard. Desdale Star-Eye watched in horror as the Demons poured boiling red liquid on the Night Elves' heads. Hundreds of Night Elves were killed, and many of them died from their injuries.
When Jarod Shadowsong asked Desdale Star-Eye for instructions on what to do, this terrified noble didn't have any useful reply.
Jarod Shadowsong suddenly noticed another group of Demons hovering above Desdale Star-Eye, trying to persuade Desdale Star-Eye to take some measures. Desdale Star-Eye was furious at Jarod's actions, and threatened to throw him into prison if he didn't get lost.
Jarod Shadowsong was chased away.
The Demons poured a container filled with boiling liquid over, and the boiling liquid poured down, pouring on Desdale Star-Eye and his companions beside him. Star-Eye died on the spot, and his face was corroded to the point that it was unrecognizable.
After Desdale Star-Eye's death, the remaining nobles were divided on the army's new strategy. Jarod Shadowsong was forced to act as a temporary representative to fill in the gap. His intuition towards the battlefield situation and natural leadership skills allowed him to be appointed as the new commander of the Night Elves' army very quickly. The nobles listened to his commands seriously.
Jarod Shadowsong had always been deeply doubtful about how useful he could be in the war, but he soon received a very big surprise.
Cenarius brought a large group of Demigods to join the Night Elves' army, and they agreed to fight under Jarod Shadowsong's command.
The Demigod's affirmation allowed Jarod Shadowsong to establish unprecedented prestige in the Sentinel army.
Just as Jarod Shadowsong was organizing the Night Elves to turn the situation around, he was targeted by the Demon King Archimonde. Not seeing Malfurion Stormrage on the battlefield made this Great Demon very disappointed, so he decided to vent his anger on Jarod Shadowsong.
Archimonde was convinced that the Burning Legion's victory was irreversible, so he wasn't in a hurry. He madly teased Jarod Shadowsong and slowly killed him. It was very likely that Archimonde was looking forward to finally breaking Jarod Shadowsong's iron will.
Before Jarod died from his injuries, Malfurion Stormrage and Illidan Stormrage combined their magic and used it on the Well of Eternity.
All the demons, including Archimonde, were sucked into the Well of Eternity. They howled furiously and were thrown back into the Twisting Nether.
The Cataclysm created a new ocean, and the turbulent seawater chased the Night Elves to Mount Hyjal. After the flood subsided, Jarod brought a group of Night Elves to find drinking water. They found that Illidan had built a second Well of Eternity. Apart from Jarod, everyone else was burned to death, and Jarod suffered minor burns. With Malfurion's help, Jarod and the others captured Illidan.
Jarod Shadowsong let Malfurion decide how to deal with his reckless brother, Illidan.
Malfurion threw Illidan into prison for ten thousand years.
As a reluctant commander, Jarod was deeply gratified by the end of the war. He disbanded this patchwork army and worked as a manager for some time. However, he had never wanted to be a leader. Slowly, he sent more and more visitors to find the new High Priestess of the Moon — Tyrande Whisperwind.
She was using wisdom and compassion to heal the wounds of the war.
At this time, Tyrande established a new Night Elf army called the Sentinels. Jarod deliberately stood behind the scenes. He did not think of himself as a hero, and he did not intend to let others think so.
One day, he suddenly disappeared. He only brought a few personal belongings with him. He did not say where he was going, nor did he bid farewell to anyone.
Ten thousand years later, the Sacred War of Mount Hyjal broke out. The Night Elves lost their eternal life and began to be troubled by illness and death. At this time, Jarod brought his seriously ill wife, Sarathil, back to Darnassus to seek medical treatment for her. However, the terminally ill Sarathil still passed away.
At the same time, the only remaining High Elf — the Sindera tribe returned to the Night Elf society and brought back the inheritance of magic. However, this attracted the hatred of Maiev Shadowsong, who returned from the Outland. She and her subordinates began to arrange a series of assassinations against the High Elves, and even kidnapped Malfurion.
With his keen insight and extraordinary willpower, Jarod Shadowsong exposed his sister's plot, but was almost killed by the deranged Maiev.
With the help of the Werewolf Adric, Jarod Shadowsong released Malfurion and defeated Maiev together, forcing her to escape back to the Outland.
He was a legend of the Night Elves, one of the few ancient Elves who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Tyrande and Malfurion. Under normal circumstances, it was unlikely that he, who had entered a state of seclusion, would be the commander to lead the Sentinels into battle.
However, Lu Li understood everything after thinking about it for a while.
Malfurion was still asleep in the Emerald Dream. Not long ago, the Lord of Nightmares had invaded the Main World in an attempt to destroy Malfurion's physical body. Tyrande definitely could not leave at this time. The other Night Elves, such as Staghelm, had lost his son in the previous Battle of the Shifting Sands, so he could no longer be the commander to fight against the Zerg. Shandris, on the other hand, was not qualified to face the great enemy of her race alone.
In the end, Tyrande invited the old general, Jarod Shadowsong.
If one were to talk about the oldest commander in existence, it would naturally be Jarod Shadowsong. As a professional commander, Lu Li naturally knew the name of this ancient Legend.
When he heard that the person in charge of the Sentinels was this senior, he could not believe his ears.
"It's just up ahead. I still have a battle mission, so I won't be going over." That Sentinel brought Lu Li to the front of a huge treehouse, then realized that he had left his post without permission. He left Lu Li behind and hurriedly left.
Lu Li looked at the towering tree in front of him that had taken root in the desert in amazement.
It had only taken him a few minutes to walk from the frontlines to here. He had traveled a distance of a few thousand yards, but he had not seen a single tree here. In fact, it was impossible to see this tree, which had been hidden by magic, from a short distance.
Along the trunk of the tree, a huge wooden ladder spiraled up the trunk, and finally hidden in the branches.
The Night Elves' Plant Manipulation Technique!
A pre-battle command center was built in an extremely short period of time. Many Sentinels received new missions and ran down the wooden ladder. Then, they pulled up a group of Nightmares Leopards under the tree and galloped away.
The two soldiers in charge of sentry stopped Lu Li.
Lu Li reported his name, and he was immediately let in. "So it's Your Excellency Lu Li. Lord Jarod Shadowsong is already waiting for you."
Walking up the wooden ladder, Lu Li met this legendary Night Elf at the command center at the top.
Unlike Tyrande, who still looked very young, this Elf of the same generation had already shown very obvious signs of old age. The first thing that caught his eyes was his head of white hair. It was not the kind of handsome silver white, but the white of old age.
