A Kaldorei squad of twenty people passed through the forest and arrived at Suramar City along the path.
There were three Mages in the team, and Gale was among them.
Queen Azshara was also very happy when she saw the two swords. She was troubled by how to defeat the Trolls, and if she couldn't find a way to deal with them, she would have to send out the Royal Mages to use super-large magic to kill all the Trolls.
It was her mercy that prevented her from making this decision to exterminate the Trolls.
Just as Azshara was about to agree to Prince Farodis's suggestion to extensively procure Sanction Swords, Royal Mage Savis stepped forward. Savis stated that the Sanction Sword had not yet been verified in battle, and there might be some flaws. It would not be too late to procure them after they had been verified and proven qualified.
Queen Azshara agreed, and Prince Farodis accepted the order, but he was still unhappy.
There was a conflict between him and Savis, but he thought it was just a difference in political views. He didn't expect Savis to obstruct the matter of dealing with the Trolls, completely disregarding the lives of the soldiers on the front line.
Worried that Savis might cause further trouble during the battlefield experiment, he suggested to the Queen that Court Ambassador Veridis Faron be sent as an observer to record the effectiveness of the Sanction Sword in battle.
At the same time, he also dispatched his trusted advisor, Vandos, to ensure the fairness of the battlefield verification.
To ensure the smooth progress of the verification, he also sent fifteen members of his guard to assist with the testing. Gale equipped these guards with Sanction Swords, and then invited two members of the Morning Light Family, Pisaster and Carlos.
The Morning Light Family was a family of herbalists, and Pisaster had always been responsible for the family's business in Nasalas. This time, he accompanied the team to Suramar to see if he could expand business in Suramar City.
Carlos was tall and strong, an excellent warrior, specially sent by the family to protect Gale. Galehanded him a Sanction Blade to use; the scorching rune made the entire sword emit a burning aura, as if a faint flame surrounded the sword, which made Prince Farodis's guards envious.
Suramar City quickly appeared before their eyes, with a large amount of Arcane Energy lingering above the city. This was emitted by the treasures collected within Suramar City; as the cultural center of the Kaldorei Empire, Suramar's treasury held a vast number of treasures, the most famous of which was the Eye of Aman'Thul, an artifact left behind by the Titan.
After entering Suramar City, Veridis Faron led everyone to meet Grand Magister Elisande and explained their purpose.
Elisande looked at Gale with surprise; she hadn't expected the Troll problem, which had plagued the entire Kaldorei Empire, to be solved by this young Mage.
"I would very much like to support your battlefield verification, but most of Suramar's taxi soldiers have been transferred to the front line. The city's defensive strength is already insufficient, and we must also guard against Troll raids. As you know, Suramar City houses too many treasures to be lost."
Veridis expressed understanding, and Elisandethanked him for his understanding: "However, I can write to the Elune Sisterhood, requesting them to send people to help."
"Thank you very much!" Veridis quickly replied.
The Priests of the Elune Sisterhood were also an important force in the Kaldorei Empire; their divine magic was no weaker than the Mages' spells, and they were also skilled in healing spells that Mageswere not proficient in. With the help of the Priests, the danger of this operation would be minimized.
A day after Elisande's letter was sent, a team of Priests from the Elune Sisterhood arrived in SuramarCity.
"Ambassador, I am Mawiev Shadowsong, ordered to come and protect your safety."
The tall Priestess's tone was cold; it was clear she didn't care for this Ambassador. As a Priestess from a commoner background, she deeply disliked these arrogant nobles. If it weren't for the High Priestess's order, she wouldn't want to protect these nobles.
Veridis smiled gently. The mutual disdain between nobles and commoners had become a common phenomenon. If it weren't for an important mission, he wouldn't want to interact with these commoners either. However, years of diplomatic missions had given him a good temper, and he wouldn't be angered by Maiev's rudeness.
"We will rely heavily on you from now on, Priestess."
"When do we depart?" Maiev asked.
"Time is urgent, it's best to leave now!" Veridis said with a smile, completely disregarding that Maiev and the others had been traveling for half a day.
Maiev knew in her heart that this was Veridis's retaliation, but she didn't take it to heart. All the Priests under her command were seasoned veterans, and even another half-day's travel would not be a problem.
"Nasa, you go scout ahead. The rest of you, protect these noble sirs well; the death of even one is a loss to the Empire."
As Maiev gave the order, the Priests sprang into action.
The Priestess named Nasa rode a Night Saber and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. The other Priests surrounded the entire team, full of disdain for these lavishly dressed "nobles."
Veridis's mouth twitched continuously. He only wanted to give Maiev a warning, but he didn't expect to be mocked by Maiev for being cowardly.
Vandos looked at Maiev with dissatisfaction, and just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Gale.
Gale also hadn't expected that ten thousand years ago, Maiev already had such a fiery temper. Although Maiev and Veridis disliked each other, it didn't prevent him from making a request: "Priestess Maiev, you should know that we are here to conduct a battlefield verification of a weapon."
Maiev sized him up, signaling him to continue.
"So I hope to find a Troll squad, with a number between 10 and 30."
"The battlefield is not a game; do you know how difficult it is to find a Troll squad of that size?" a Priestess said unhappily.
Gale smiled and said: "If it were easy, we wouldn't need to ask the Sisterhood for help."
Maiev listened to Gale's words of deference and couldn't help but smile, "The Sisterhood can do what nobles cannot, you will have your wish."
"Thank you, Priestess Maiev!"
Gale retreated to the team and discussed precautions with Pisaster. Pisaster would stay in Suramar City to expand business, and Gale needed him to collect some information.
Veridis looked at Gale with surprise. This young Mage seemed to be deferring, yet he could make Maievwillingly cooperate, which showed his clever methods.
Vandos frowned slightly, displeased with Gale's deference. In his opinion, commoners like Maievshould simply be given direct orders.
Mawiev Shadowsong also reacted, and she looked at the honest and harmless Gale in the team with surprise, her heart filled with vigilance. This Mage was not simple; she would have to be wary of him in the future, or she might be sold out without even knowing it.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Gale didn't care in the slightest.
After everyone was ready, the team immediately set off. The Priests were true to their word; more than a dozen people surrounded everyone in the middle, "protecting" them.
