Chapter 74: The Battle of Quel'Salas (2)
"It's here that the front is formed, and Gavin Rad will bring 20 paladins with me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
It was less than 2,000 yards from the Elven Bridge, and he could already faintly see the situation there, the sky was full of gargoyles, none of the Dragon Eagle Knights of Quel'Thalas had seen it, and the Elven Bridge had been blown up, Benny knew the history well, and knew that Sylvanas was ready to retreat at this time, and it was useless for him to lead the army up now.
When he found Sylvanas, Benny startled Sylvanas, his face flushed, his blond hair sticking to his face with sweat, his hands covered in blood, and his overuse of his longbow caused a gaping hole in his tiger's mouth.
"Benny?"
Benny was stunned, Sylvanas had never used a nickname for him.
"How many people did you bring?"
"300 paladins, 5,000 soldiers. ”
Sylvanas shook her head, "Too little. ”
"Ma'am, retreat, you should understand what the situation is. "There's no way they're going to stop Arthas, Benny is here to help them retreat, not to defend the city.
Sylvanas tightened her grip on the necklace around her neck and nodded slowly. The elves in the village had been evacuated, and there was no point in them defending the place.
――――
The High Elves retreated quickly, and the Far Wanderers' forces moved very quickly, shaking off the undead, converging Benny's army, and retreating towards Silvermoon City.
"Ma'am. Benny handed the hydration bag to Sivanas.
"Thank you. Sylvanas unplugged it and took a large gulp, her usual grace causing her to toss out of nowhere.
"We've sent scouts, but very few have returned, so we don't know much about you. How's Lordaeron doing?"
"Lordaeron is gone, ma'am. ”
Sylvanas was stunned for a moment and nodded, Arthas didn't lie to her.
"Ma'am, these people I brought with me are the only remaining strength in Lordaeron right now. So I won't let them die in vain on foreign lands, your defense is pointless at all. ”
"We ----"
"Ma'am. Benny interrupted her. "Your magical enchantment---- Bandinorel are no longer your reliance, doesn't the Elven Gate say it all?
Sylvanas's face was pale, she couldn't refute it, she had already guessed, and she had ruled out the scouts to inform the Well of the Sun.
"I know the style of your council, stubbornness is the only word I can think of, so I have two suggestions for you now, first, evacuate all the inhabitants of Silvermoon City, and I will help you guard Silvermoon City until the evacuation in the city is completed. Second, my army goes, I stay. ”
"You're not suggesting, Benny. Sylvanas ruffled the hair from her forehead. "There are 30w residents in Silvermoon City, that's all of our clansmen, do you know how long it will take to evacuate them, even if there is enough time, we don't have that many boats!"
"One day, ma'am, one day is enough. I brought with me 10 warships and 60 transports, plus your ships, enough to transport so many people. ”
"You seem to have known that this was going to happen, and all the preparations you made seemed to be for this moment. Sylvanas' sapphire eyes made Benny look at him a little bit. The queen is not just beautiful.
"Ma'am, there's no point in discussing this now!"
"Benny, you don't know anything about Silvermoon City. Sylvanas retracted her vision and sighed. "The Council of Quel'Thalas is the leader, the archmages are the leader, and I have no authority to decide this. ”
"Ma'am, evacuating Silvermoon City is the only way out of Quel'Thalas, no matter what method or cost. ”
"What about the Well of the Sun? That's the way we lived a few years ago. "If Silvermoon City can't stop Arthas, neither can the Well of the Sun. Without the Well of the Sun, Sylvanas could not imagine what would have become of his people's lives.
"To be alive is to have hope. The Well of the Sun can be rebuilt, but what about those elves, 30w people, you have multiplied for thousands of years to have the huge race you have now! Have you ever wondered what it will be like after Arthas conquers Silvermoon City?"
Sylvanas's face changed, of course she knew, she had seen it, the land where the undead had walked turned black, and the elves of death had staggered to join the army of the undead with terrible wounds.
"I would like to do the evacuation of residents. ”
Benny nodded: "In one day, after Arthas arrives in Silvermoon City, I will help you defend for 24 hours, and after 24 hours, no matter what, I will retreat." ”
"Thank you. The sapphire eyes made Benny feel like he was going to be sucked in. Benny avoided his gaze, "Thank you, Holy Light." Without the Light, I would not be here. ”
――――
The gate of Silvermoon City, white is its main color, gold and red dot it, and a huge blue crystal is inlaid at the top of the gate, which is the energy center of Bandinorrell.
Benny didn't enter the city, he and Sylvanas had already discussed, the elves' gates were different from humans, they didn't have wide walls, they didn't have a guarded foothold. So they could only build a defensive line outside the city.
"Benny, the two archmages of the Council of Silvermoon City have arrived, and they want to meet you. "Sylvanas is a little embarrassed, those nobles of the council don't know if they don't understand the current situation, they are here to help you, not to beg you.
Benny sighed, it's all this time, and there is still time to put the score, I really don't know what to say about these elves.
There were only a few makeshift tents outside Shadowmoon, and Benny followed Sylvanas into the largest one, where two mages dressed in golden robes were already waiting.
"Hello, Commander Smith, thank you for coming to help Quel'Thalas at this time. I'm a member of the Silvermoon Council, Kane Dawnblade. ”
"If you want to be polite with me, I think we can keep it until Alsace breaks here, so I'll cut it short. The battle must be commanded by me, all the mages of Far Wanderer and Silvermoon City must participate in the battle, and you must prepare a large teleportation circle that can teleport 1w5,000 people in half a day, from here, to the port of the Island of the Sunstrider. ”
Kane Dawnblade stopped another elf who wanted to say something.
"It can be done, is there anything else?"
"My fleet and all of Quel'Salas's fleet are assembled in the harbor of the Isle of the Sunstrider, and you must evacuate Silvermoon City from now on. ”
"It can be done, is there anything else?"
"One day, we only have one day! Once the evacuation is complete, we must immediately retreat with the teleportation array, and my fleet will take refuge in Stormwind City with yours. I will stay and help you defend against the Well of the Sun. ”
"Commander Smith, I know you've always had some prejudices against us, but we're not as pedantic and stubborn as you think, and everything we do is for Quel'Thalas. I now accept all your conditions on behalf of His Majesty Anastrian and the Silvermoon Council. "Quel'Salas are proud, but they are not fools, the situation is clear now, Silvermoon City is no longer defensible, a member of the council has betrayed them, and the Key to March has been lost. Evacuating the civilians of Silvermoon City is a must, and without these human reinforcements, their losses would be unbearable.
