The worgen looked at Ralarel, who could move freely, with surprise. Could equipping just a scimitar keep him sane?
Soon, they would get to try it themselves.
Gale used the ether spirit as a mold to mass-produce quicksilver scimitars, quickly ensuring everyone had one.
After experiencing freedom, the worgen immediately expressed their gratitude to Gale. Although they knew Malfurion had issues with Gale, they didn't care. It was because of Malfurion's stubbornness that Ralarel took such a risk.
After they turned into worgen, Malfurion merely banished them and never thought about finding a solution. Therefore, they held a strong grudge against Malfurion.
Ralarel, on behalf of the worgen, pleaded with Gale: "Your Majesty, please allow us to fight for you."
Gale accepted their allegiance, not only valuing their combat abilities but also having the idea of researching rageblood.
The energy of rageblood was astonishing, and the combat ability it enhanced was too powerful. If a method to strengthen it could be researched and taught to warriors, it would significantly boost their combat capabilities.
Gale estimated that its effect was comparable to the Blood of Mannoroth drunk by orcs. If combined with Bloodlust, perhaps the warriors' combat ability could even reach the level of orcs.
Aviana was also happy to see the worgen leave the Emerald Dream. They were a group of pitiful people who shouldn't be trapped there.
Gale told Aviana about the Other Space connecting to Ganil, the Mother Tree. Aviana expressed her concern, "Gale, while this is indeed a groundbreaking achievement, it might bring about negative changes."
"I know, and I will handle this with utmost care. Our known enemies are only three: the Burning Legion, the Old Gods, and enraged elemental creatures. The elemental creatures have already been dealt with, the Old Gods are currently nowhere to be found, and the Burning Legion is still in the distant Twisting Nether. We must seize this opportunity to develop rapidly and accumulate strength. Only when we are strong ourselves can we protect Azeroth."
Aviana agreed with Gale's idea. For so many years, every decision Gale made had been correct. This was why the Kaldorei Empire could develop so quickly, and why Gale could become the leader of the Alliance.
Returning to Ganil, the Mother Tree, Aviana looked at the tree crown, which was blurred by overlapping space, and sighed with emotion: "The Emerald Dream indeed limited Ganil's growth. Now that it has gained enough space, I wonder what it will grow into."
"I wonder too."
After Gale and Aviana discussed the issues concerning Ganil, he took the worgen back to Sky City. He designated an area for the worgen in Sky City, and until the contagiousness of rageblood was resolved, the worgen would be isolated from the outside world.
After a few years, Gale found a way to suppress the spread of rageblood and created a purification potion, solving the transmission problem. However, to be safe, Gale also made Icevein Gauntlets for the worgen to prevent their claws from accidentally harming their allies.
The Icevein Gauntlets were forged from cold iron, integrated with the Frostheart gem, and enchanted with Frost Breath.
In Kaldorei form, they were just gauntlets. But in worgen form, the Frost Breath would condense into sharp claws, enhancing the worgen's attack capabilities.
From then on, the isolation of the worgen was lifted, and they were incorporated into the regular army, becoming a main force among the warriors. Moreover, they were also druids, not only capable of acting as vanguards but also assisting comrades on the battlefield.
To prevent the worgen from losing their quicksilver scimitars and thus losing their sanity, Gale had the forging workshop mass-produce two types of quicksilver scimitars: a small one like a necklace and another like a dagger, distributing them to the entire army.
The quicksilver scimitars could remove negative statuses and also enhance the combat abilities of other units, though not as much as for the worgen.
After solving the worgen problem, Gale returned to the Sun Temple. The next step would be to open portals to various locations.
This task was a process of continuous trial and error, which he could entrust to the Mages below to complete.
He, however, needed to spend some quality time with Maiev, as he had neglected her for a long time.
As a result, a year later, Maiev gave birth to their second son, Nordrassil.
Nordrassil's talent surpassed that of Tydasshid and his two elder sisters, but it was suppressed by Eileen's bloodline. He was practically raised by Eileen from a young age, and while he could sometimes be rebellious towards Gale and Maiev, he would always obey Eileen's every word.
Eileen's mischievous personality also influenced Nordrassil, making him quite lively and playful.
Even after becoming an adult, he didn't act like one, still being mischievous in Sky City.
He was exceptionally gifted in magic but had a strong preference for close combat.
Ganil's life energy was continuously supplied to the Other Space, and combined with Nordrassil's magical talent, his speed in life enhancement was ten or even dozens of times faster than others. He was as strong as a centuries-old veteran right after reaching adulthood.
In addition to his magical attainments, influenced by Eileen, he particularly loved Wind Elemental spells. The slight difference was that Eileen liked wind, while Nordrassil preferred thunder.
He especially loved Mjolnir and always wanted to steal it to play with, but he always failed.
Gale had cast a spell on Mjolnir, and Nordrassil simply couldn't lift it.
Gale had a headache over this.
Although he liked Marvel's weapons, he didn't want a Thor-like son. He originally thought Tydasshid was very much like Thor, but Nordrassil surpassed him, being even more like Thor.
Sometimes Gale even wondered, was he that foolish?
Whenever he had this question, Maiev would roll her eyes and say, "Do you think you're very smart? Many times, you still choose to do things that are clearly very dangerous."
Gale retorted, "I only do things when I'm confident."
"Nordrassil also thinks he's confident in what he does. In this regard, he's practically cast from the same mold as you."
"I really am confident!"
"You thought the same when you raided Sindorei."
Gale was speechless. He reflected on himself and realized he might indeed be a bit reckless.
However, his recklessness was built upon his possession of numerous artifacts. Did Nordrassil have artifacts?
Gale suddenly raised an eyebrow. Well then, he would give him an artifact. It wasn't like he couldn't create one.
He had given the Hammer of Kaz'goroth to Tydasshid and promised to create artifacts for Axi and Eileen, but he kept delaying it, which led to Axi taking a risk for the Blue Dragon's crystal bow. Eileen still didn't have an artifact to use, which was indeed his oversight.
Thinking of this, Gale decided to create artifacts for Eileen and Nordrassil.
Eileen's artifact needed a little more thought. This child always liked to fly in the sky, so using a bow and arrow would be the best choice. However, Gale didn't have a good idea yet and could only put it aside for now.
Nordrassil's artifact, on the other hand, was easy. Mjolnir had an upgraded version, which was perfect for Nordrassil.
