31. Blood-stained Quel'Salas

"Woo!!

The dull sound of the horn resounded through Silvermoon City, this was the signal of the arrival of war, the civilians had received a call from the royal family of the Sunstrider, they silently packed all their belongings, carried large bags and small bags, and followed the guidance of the soldiers in an orderly manner, and went to different places to take refuge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The older elves remembered the evacuation of the country during the Troll War and the Second Orc War, and they had tasted the war, so they hoped that Quel'Thalas would survive the disaster this time.

In other parts of the city, the male elves in the prime of life lined up to receive their armor and weapons, unlike the previous wars, this time distributed to the militia fighters, there were also two compressed holy water bladders, as a war material strongly recommended by Dick and Sylvanas, the Magic Kingdom only spent 3 days, and the Holy Light Priests from all over the country urgently made a batch of holy water.

The High Elves have a deep affection for Quel'Thalas, and they are proud of their reluctance to abandon their country and flee, so many of them volunteer to join the army.

But no matter how noble and heroic this voluntary action was, it could not hide the panic of the people of Silvermoon City, where the bustling streets had been turned into makeshift camps where recruits were trained and then set foot on the battlefield.

King Anastarian stood on the tower of the Heights of the Well of the Sun, having changed out of his mage's robes and replaced it with a suit of armor with good demonic conduction, the face of war of the Sunseeker.

"Speed up the transfer of civilians! Go to the Isle of the Sun, go to Quell Danus... It's going to be a battlefield here!"

The Sun King put his hands on the window of the mage's tower, and the herald quickly recorded the king's orders, and when he had finished recording, he asked cautiously,

"Your Majesty, the island of the day and the Quildannas Peninsula can only accommodate a maximum of 60w civilians, in addition to the 10w people who have been conscripted to the front line, we have 120w civilians who cannot be placed!"

"I know... Let me think about it..."

Anastarian rubbed his forehead, this is the pain of a country without strategic depth, once a large-scale war breaks out, civilians are always the first to be hurt, especially in the face of an enemy like the undead natural disaster, civilians cannot be ignored at all, once they are killed, they can become the other party's source of troops almost immediately!

The entire Quel'Salas is only one-third the size of the Lordaeron Empire, and when Darkan officially rebelled 2 days ago, the entire country was under the threat of the shadow of war, and once Arthas broke through the front line, it only took 2 days of rapid marching to reach the foot of Silvermoon City.

So to protect civilians is to ensure victory in this war!

The Sun King was thinking almost as hard as he could about the movements of the commoners, until he saw the map of the world hanging on the wall, and the wise Sun King immediately entered into thought, and after a few minutes, he waved his hand at the herald,

"As quickly as possible, let Archmage Rothman contact the Knights of the Silver Hand, the human paladin has said that the East Daron Mill region of Lordaeron, the hills of Hillsbrad and the Arathi Highlands are still basically stable, see if they can accept some civilians for the time being!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The herald hurried out of the mage tower, and Anastarian turned his gaze to the sunwell behind him, the king suddenly had a premonition that he had protected the sunwell of the High Elves for 7,000 years, and perhaps this time, it was doomed.

Just when the Sun King was having a headache for the evacuation of civilians, in the southernmost part of Quel'Thalas, on the battlefield with the Eastern Temple, the Ann Ouven Temple, and the Western Temple as the front line of defense, relentless fighting was taking place in every corner.

Two days ago, when the first gargoyle passed through Quel'Thalas's defensive runes, its mournful scream echoed in Quel'Thalas's maple-colored sky, signaling the beginning of a never-ending war.

However, this time, the guarded High Elves were not easily defeated as in the original history.

The gap opened by Darkan is located in the center of the three temples, the width of a football field, and only this one place can allow the undead to pass through, and this is already the limit of what this traitor can do, if he wants the entire defense rune to collapse, Arthas must get at least three temples and the headquarters of Silvermoon City, three of the five magic keys in the headquarters of the island of the sun, otherwise, the defense rune is still indestructible!

But the undead never complained about the narrowness of the battlefield, they didn't have thinking, they didn't know how to be tired, it only took 2 days to suppress the elven defense line back thousands of meters as a whole, and the elven side only 2 days of battle damage, it has reached 9,000 people, and the undead side, due to the large number of holy water applications, has reached a terrible 2w people.

Arthas is crazy! The elves are crazy!

The two sides launched an absolutely frantic attack on the southernmost narrow strip of land at Quel'Salas, and it would never be wrong to call it a "meat grinder".

"Paladin, charge with me!"

Covered in blood, Dick turned on the aura of punishment, and the Merra-Dawn Blade stood behind him, the high-ranking knight grew up at a rapid speed, and together with the 26 elven paladins who survived the escape, formed a charging formation, led by the burning fire of justice, and rushed into the surging sea of the undead for the seventh time.

Everywhere they went, there were ashes flying, and Arthas, before he became the Lich King, was very inefficient at crafting Death Knights, so in this kind of large-scale war, the chance of Death Knights appearing on the front line is also low, and they are generally used as commanders.

And on the battlefield of Dick's Temple of Ann Ovien, as the commander of the undead, it was Thassarian, with whom Dick had a relationship, and Sergeant Lordaeron, who once accompanied Arthas to Northrend, a loyal soldier and a plot figure who left his footprints in history.

But the brutal war has already worn out Dick's good impression of Sassarian, if there is a chance, he will definitely not hesitate to kill Sassarian, relying on Dick who is now blessed by the power of the elite, in a desperate situation, it will definitely not be a problem to kill him!

After all, Arthas is not yet the Lich King, and Thassarian is only a rare elite death knight, and he is far from reaching the level of a high-ranking lord in later generations.

But how could Thassarian, as an experienced soldier, leave such a flaw, no matter how many undead Dick slaughtered with the paladins, he would never take the initiative to appear on the battlefield, which made Dick's teeth itch angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

10 minutes later, the exhausted Dick and the paladins cut through the sea of the undead, and cooperated with the elven soldiers to successfully repel the undead attack again, everyone was extremely tired, if it weren't for the support from Silvermoon City, which could give them plenty of rest, Dick's body would have been exhausted in these 2 days of high-intensity fighting.

However, with the support from the Magic City, the advantage is that the portal, which is a rare thing in the human world, is a regular munition item in almost every temple on the battlefield of Quel'Salas, so after a brief rest, Dick stepped through the portal and returned to the hall of life in Silvermoon City.

"Liadrin, I'm back..."

Dick pushed open the door, he fantasized that the beautiful and intellectual high priest would stand behind the door and wait for him, but he was disappointed again, Liadline was still lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty, Dick sighed in disappointment, he sat down on the chair in the room, and smoked his pipe in silence.

Until now, Dick still did not think that his feelings for Liadline were love, because he had put all his heart on Miss Gianna's side, and since the last correspondence, Dick knew that Miss Gianna had followed Alessandro to the south of the Eastern Continent, temporarily avoiding the war in the northern frontier.

Even with magical magic, there is no way to communicate as frequently as before when it spans a distance of more than half a continent, and in the middle of the battlefield, although Dick misses the eldest lady very much, he still forces himself to suppress his feelings for the eldest lady.

The war of Quel'Thalas had already been combined with that of Lordaeron, and Dick needed to stay here to delay Arthas as long as possible and gain the last time for the Knights of the Silver Hand.

"Bang!"

The door of the room was pushed open, and Hadurun, who was dressed in a loose robe, walked in, and it could be seen from the tired eyes of the Ranger Lord that this guy must have just been ripped off the frontline battlefield, and the attack of the undead was in full swing, especially at the suggestion of Dick, after the mages of Silvermoon City developed arrows that could carry the energy of holy light, the importance of high-level rangers in this war has greatly increased.

"I guess you're right here. ”

Haduron greeted Dick, sat down across from him with no grace, and took out a pipe with the phoenix emblem from his bosom, and put it in his mouth and smoked it.

Elves and tobacco are almost two worlds, but when the pressure of war is on everyone's shoulders, tobacco, which is only popular among the elven paladin, quickly spreads to all elven soldiers.

After the big war, everyone needs to relax. For men of all races, women and tobacco are always the best relaxation products.

"General Sylvanas killed a Death Knight this morning, and the battle on the Eastern Temple has calmed down for the time being, but what makes me wonder is that I haven't seen any trace of Arthas since the beginning of the war!

Haduron spat out a smoke ring, he grabbed his hair and said to Dick, this guy after getting acquainted with Dick, he quickly revealed his deviant side, he was different from all the elves Dick had seen before, friendly, generous and casual, like a human in the garb of elves, Sylvanas said that it was because Haduron was still young, but Dick knew that this was his nature, and Haduron in the game, was also a very approachable guy.

Faced with his doubts, Dick also rubbed his eyes,

"It's hard to say if your guess is true or not, the scene of Darkan's disappearance is familiar to me, but I really can't remember seeing anything like it there... As you said, when we entered the lab, Darkan's true form was definitely there, and he just used some kind of special spell to escape right under our noses. ”

Dick looked at Haduron's thoughtful expression and shrugged his shoulders,

"I don't know what you think of Darkan, but as far as I know, he's not a guy who would be willing to be subservient. ”

That's the truth, Darkan in the game is definitely a model of two-facedness, first betraying Silvermoon City, then betraying Arthas, and even grabbing Sylvanas, who had become the queen of the Forsaken at the time, and Karegoth, the blue dragon of the five scum of battle.

Although the latter once had a "glorious record" of being beaten down by the dwarves with muskets, the ability to capture this prince of the blue dragon, who had put all his talent on escape, could also prove Darkan's strength.

It can be said that the current Darkan and the original Kel'thugad are definitely the same level of characters, and it is so easy to join Arthas, whether in the game or in the current reality, it is a mystery that haunts Dick.

He always felt that there was a deeper secret in Darkan's betrayal, and this secret was the key to unlocking the current predicament of Silvermoon City.
