Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis.

"Wait, guys! This way we're allies, we humans and the night elves are allies," Ronin quickly said.

The relationship between night elves and humans is very good, especially among the druids from the night elves, who helped humans when they suffered natural disasters, undead invasions, and land became uncultivable.

It was the Archdruid Malfurion who led a large horde of druids to heal the land and accelerate the growth of plants, allowing them to harvest their crops.

The red dragon mage Krasus sighed helplessly. "Please, in this timeline, the night elves and humans are not allies. They've never even seen a human before."

Wait, that's not quite right. If they've seen Lord Rhodes, then they've seen a human.

"Surrender, outsiders. I won't say it a second time," said the leading squad leader, Varosen.

In this situation, Ronin naturally didn't want to surrender, so the mage pulled a small silver dagger from his pocket. (To be honest, when I read the War of the Ancients trilogy, the author laughed so hard when Ronin pulled out a dagger and wanted to fight the enemy hand-to-hand. You're a mage, aren't you a rogue or a warrior? You're going to fight in melee? Or rather, melee combat is every mage's dream.)

This was a dagger given to him as a gift by an elven leader in his time.

Upon seeing the dagger, Captain Varosson on the opposite side immediately showed an expression of extreme surprise. This forging style was typical of their elves. Why would this guy, or rather this strange creature, possess something from the elves? Could he really be a fellow countryman of Lord Rhodes?

Although the two are similar in size, Lord Rhodes has black hair, while this one has blonde hair; or perhaps hair doesn't tell the whole story.

However, their skins seem to be different. Lord Rhodes' skin is smoother and fairer, while this one, although also fair-skinned, has large pores all over his body, making him look like a barbarian.

At this moment, Ronin was also in a difficult situation. As a mage, he should naturally not have taken out a silver dagger to fight, but like the red dragon mage, his magic seemed to be affected. He had indeed tried to use a spell to counterattack, but he couldn't.

Fortunately, besides being a mage, he is also proficient in a little swordsmanship, just like Lord Rhodes. Lord Rhodes is not only a powerful mage but can also work as a paladin, priest, and even druid.

The leader, Varosson, was cautious and gave his men a wink, signaling them to capture the two strange creatures alive and try not to harm them.

The red dragon mage Krasus was quite decisive. Now that he had lost his power to cast spells and transform into a dragon, his combat strength had become that of an ordinary elf. Under these circumstances, resistance would obviously be irrational, so he simply surrendered.

The night elf sentries didn't make things difficult for him; they simply pulled the red dragon mage aside.

On the other side, Rhonin fought back more fiercely, wildly waving a small silver dagger. Then, a night elf sentinel shot the dagger away with an arrow and knocked him down with a spinning kick.

Despite fierce resistance throughout, his combat strength was only five. Lying on the ground and tied up, Luo Ning looked helpless. Seriously, how could a mage like me, armed with a dagger, possibly fight a sentry or hunter in melee?

The two were quickly bound like dumplings and prepared to be sent back to the royal city to be delivered to Lord Rhodes. According to the original timeline, the two should have been sent to Xavius, but they were rescued on the way by the little tree spirit sent by Cenarius. However, Cenarius is currently busy gathering other demigods and various forces to form an alliance.

It was naturally impossible for them to come and save the two people.

Similar to these two, the orc warrior Broxigar also encountered trouble. At this time, the orc warrior lost his battle axe during the time travel and was completely unarmed.

Moreover, the aftereffects of his transmigration, such as temporary loss of power and weakness, made him unable to resist, and this green-skinned monster was captured.

The trio of transmigrators who had just arrived in ancient Azeroth were tragically imprisoned together.

However, their destinies took different paths. Rhonin and Krasus were taken to see Rhodes, while the sentry squad that captured the orc warrior Broxigar belonged not to the Queen's army but to the Temple of the Moon. Thus, the green-skinned orc was taken towards the Temple of the Moon, and fate seemed to have found a crossroads here.

That evening, Rhonin and Krasus were taken to Azshara's capital. Xavius ​​and Azshara, who were busy opening portals, had no interest in receiving such low-level minions, so Varokon reported directly to Rhodes.

Upon learning of the two men's whereabouts, Rhodes did not hesitate and immediately ordered Varok to bring them to him.

Krasus and Rhonin, who were quickly bound hand and foot, were carried to Rhodes' palace by several night elf guards.

Both of them showed expressions of surprise and joy upon seeing Rhodes; at least they were saved.

Rhodes smiled knowingly when he saw the two of them; the three of them had already met before they transmigrated.

The two wanted to say something, but Rhodes stopped them with a look.

Chapter 375 News: Rhodes' Offspring, Their Future Unchangeable

"Lord Rhodes, we found these two while patrolling the forest."

"One of them is very similar to our elves, but it's a race I've never seen before; the other is somewhat similar to you," Varok said very respectfully.

Excitement flashed in Rhonin's eyes. He had finally found the person in charge. His lips parted slightly as if he wanted to say something, but Krasus next to him nudged him gently with his shoulder. Although the red dragon mage had lost some of his memories, his wisdom accumulated over thousands of years allowed him to instantly realize that the occasion was inappropriate—Rhodes' identity at this moment was clearly not simple.

Rhodes just signaled with his eyes to be quiet, how come you didn't see that? We can't reveal Rhodes' identity at a time like this.

“These two creatures…” Rhodes stepped forward, his tone scrutinizing.

"Similar to a race I've encountered during my astral travels, and as for the other one, you guessed it, it is indeed of the same race as me."

"Captain Varossen, where did you find them?" Rhodes asked with a smile.

"At the eastern border of Ashenvale, Lord Rhodes, their appearance was accompanied by unusual energy fluctuations," Varosan replied respectfully.

"I believe it may be related to recent anomalies in natural energy, so I have come to ask you for your opinion."

He should be familiar with these two creatures, especially since one of them is of the same race as Lord Rhodes. It was the right choice to bring them back and hand them over to Lord Rhodes instead of Savis.

Lord Rhodes will surely reward me, after all, he is now a favorite of the Queen.

Rhodes nodded thoughtfully, his finger tracing a line in the air, and a hidden arcane rune silently imprinted itself onto Rhodes's lapel—a secret code known only to high-ranking mages of Dalaran: "Silence, cooperate."

Luo Ning's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head. He realized that he had indeed been too impulsive, and now was not the time to speak.

"Take him to the side chamber prison first. I need to interrogate him alone. Keep this matter quiet for now, and especially don't alert Savas."

"You did well this time. I'll give you ten pounds of anti-magic metal as a reward. You can use it to forge a weapon." Rhodes turned and gave the order.

At the same time, he took out several pieces of anti-magic metal from the system space. These were the lowest-grade anti-magic metals produced by the Iron Man soldiers, but they were considered top-quality in this era. This was the only thing that could resist more than 75% of magic.

Varok was overjoyed to receive Rhodes's gift. This metal was extremely precious, and only Lord Rhodes possessed it. In the entire Night Elf Empire, no more than ten weapons were forged from this special metal. He never expected to be so lucky as to obtain one.

"Thank you very much for your kindness. It is my honor to serve you, Lord Rhodes." Varok stepped forward respectfully to accept the anti-magic metal, and then said sincerely.

"Okay! Go down, and absolutely do not make this a secret." Rhodes nodded and waved his hand.

"Understood, then Lord Rhodes, I shall take my leave." Varok acknowledged the order and waved for the soldiers to take the two away.

After the door to Rhodes' room closed, Rhodes set up a triple isolation barrier, and the atmosphere inside the room suddenly changed.

"Alright, now you can talk." Rhodes waved his hand to release the two from their restraints. "But to make a long story short, this place isn't absolutely safe. How did you two get to this era? How long have you been here?"

"Lord Rhodes, we just arrived today."

Unbeknownst to you, you have been missing for three whole years. Her Majesty the Queen, Princess Jaina, and Miss Anveena have been searching for you.

We recently detected a rift in spacetime, and I came here specifically to investigate. As a result, I encountered Lord Krasus, and afterwards, we were transported to this world by the Bronze Dragon Aspect. Oh, and there was also a green-skinned orc with us.”

"I was also sent here by the Bronze Dragon King, but I arrived more than a year earlier than you. Currently, my identity is the Queen's Advisor of the Night Elf Empire."

"Tell me how Azeroth has developed since I left?" Rhodes nodded and asked.

I never expected that I would stay here for a little over a year, while three years had already passed on the original timeline of Azeroth. If you include the time I spent on the Frozen Throne, it would be a little over a year.

That is to say, after I go back, time should be fixed at the time when the Warcraft storyline officially begins, the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance will have long since vanished, and the thunderous war drums will once again resound throughout Azeroth.

Rhodes thought of that opening line again, but at this time, Azeroth had undergone many changes because of his actions. At least the Kingdom of Lordaeron still existed and was already in the process of being rebuilt.

The Eastern and Western Plaguelands have been healed by Druid Dream and no longer exist. Kel'Thuzad of the Scourge has secretly defected to him. He also controls about two-thirds of the Forsaken's power. He also has one of his heroes on the Horde side, who has now risen to a high-ranking position.

The Kul Tiras admiral did not die, Kul Tiras was not severely weakened, and it did not leave the Alliance. The black dragon in Stormwind was also dealt with in advance.

So now the situation in Edolas has completely changed, and it shouldn't be as chaotic as it was in the original history!

However, the matter of the Old Gods still needs to be taken seriously. In the level 60 version of Earth, the biggest world was the C'Thun event. Even Bloodlord Hakkar, Naxxramas, and Blackwing Lair pale in comparison to the C'Thun event, after all, one of them is an Old God.

It seems I won't be able to stay idle after I go back. If I had traveled through three years, my son would be over two years old by now!

After all, it takes 10 months to give birth, and when he left, Princess Galiya had just become pregnant. Rhodes felt a little regretful that he hadn't worked hard enough during his mortal years, which resulted in him only having one mortal child.

"By the way, Lord Rhodes, I have some good news to tell you." After standing up from the ground, Ronin bowed to Rhodes and said.

“Oh, do you have any good news?” Rod asked.

"First of all, congratulations, Your Excellency Rhodes. Your eldest son was born two and a half years ago. He is the Crown Prince of Lordaeron and has been appointed by Her Majesty the Queen as the successor to the throne," Mr. Rhodes told Rhodes the good news.

"You just said my eldest son, do I have more than one child?" Rod asked, quite surprised.

Could it be the Green Dragon Queen's child? But the Green Dragon Queen promised me that.

Will he only release their child from the Emerald Dream after he returns to Azeroth?

Or perhaps it was another woman who gave birth to him; before his transmigration, Rhodes had quite a few women.

“I knew you’d look like this. Lord Rhodes, half a month after you left, Lady Jaina and Lady Caponia gave birth to two children for you, one a boy and the other a girl. The girl was born to Lady Caponia. She inherited some of your bloodline as well as the bloodline of the elves, making her a half-elf.”

As for the other boy, he is now the heir to Theramore and is being raised by Princess Jaina. Luo Ningjiang relayed these pieces of good news to Rhodes.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes felt a surge of joy. After all, everyone feels this way when they have children. He never expected that he would become the father of three children just because he traveled back to the time of the ancient war. Fortunately, the three children are all a little over two years old, so he can make up for their childhood.

Unlike some protagonists who leave for 20 years and return to find their sons already grown up.

"This is fantastic news, Ronning. Thank you for telling me this. Don't worry, we'll be returning to Azeroth in a month at most," Rhodes said, patting Ronning on the shoulder with great joy.

"Lord Rhodes, you said that in another month we will return to Edolas, which means the War of the Ancients is about to begin or end," Krasus asked, standing to the side.

Rhodes nodded.

"You're right, Lord Krasus. The War of the Ancients has reached a crucial juncture. Queen Azshara has now opened the portal connecting to the Burning Legion, and Sargeras, as planned, will descend upon Azeroth in about 20 days..."

"Now, the demigods of the wilderness, the priestesses of the Temple of the Moon Goddess, some commoner night elves, and elites from various races are forming an alliance. Tauren and pandaren will all unite to fight against the Burning Legion." Rhodes briefly explained the current situation to the two of them.

"Lord Rhodes, I have read some accounts of the War of the Ancients. It is said that the battle was extremely dangerous and almost resulted in a complete defeat. The most crucial factor was the Burning Legion's portal. Now that you have gained Queen Azshara's trust..."

"And you hold a high position here, so why didn't you stop the elves from using the Well of Eternity to teleport the Burning Legion? You should have been able to do that, right?" Rhonin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Humans were initially unaware of the War of the Ancients. It was only after forming an alliance with the Night Elves that they learned about this ancient battle from ancient texts. Before that, they only knew that it was described in the books of the High Elves.

Records about demons and the Burning Legion are kept very secret in Dalaran, known only to the Guardians, the mages in charge of the Guardians, and members of the Council of Six.

"I can answer your question on behalf of Lord Rhodes. You must know that the ancient war in our world happened 1 years ago, which is a predetermined historical event. Think about it, what would happen if this historical event were changed?"

History will be changed, the future will change, you may not be born, and even human nations may not be born.

"Time is a very strange thing. Don't forget who brought us here—the Bronze Dragon Aspect." Krasus sighed.

He understands Rhodes' current situation best. The Bronze Dragon King must be instructing Rhodes to maintain the stability of the timeline, to only do what he is supposed to do, and to ensure that history continues smoothly. He absolutely cannot do anything else.

"Krasus is right. I can indeed stop Rhonin, or even nip this invasion in the bud, but that would cause unimaginable disaster for the future."

Let me give you an example. Have you ever heard of the grandfather paradox?

That means you have the power to travel through time, you went back in time, and then killed your grandfather.

"Theoretically, you shouldn't exist. And if you don't exist, then who went back in time to kill your grandfather?" Rhodes asked a very classic question.

This question stunned Luo Ning. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He realized that he hadn't thought things through. History cannot be changed; it has already happened. Changing the future would have unpredictable consequences.

But Ronin also wanted to say that things might get better! But he couldn't finish his sentence. If the Night Elf Empire hadn't collapsed and the continent's splitting explosion hadn't happened, then the ancient continent of Kalimdor would still exist, and their Eastern Kingdoms would never have formed.

Humanity has no chance of rising to power; instead, they will be wiped out by the night elves as an ignorant race, or even enslaved—all of which are highly likely to happen.

"I apologize, Lord Rhodes, and Lord Krasus, for my oversight."
