"Everything has been prepared?" King Elduin asked. He was at the Elven Kingdom gate, ready to set out on a journey.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but… are you sure that you don't need soldiers to accompany you? Your Majesty, I know that you are strong, so does Your Divinity Priest Erolith. But the journey to the east is very dangerous, and there are a lot of dangerous wild beasts," the Elven General warned King Elduin.
At first, he was against King Elduin leaving the palace and take a long journey to the east, but once he said that Priest Erolith got a vision from the Sacred Tree for them to find the Essence of the Earth, the Elven General couldn't say anything.
Because aside from King Elduin's order, Priest Erolith also had the same hierarchy in power, especially when it was about the Sacred Tree.
