Chapter 59: The Withered Violet (Part II)
Time goes back to an hour ago, when the battle for Dalaran was in full swing.
On an open school field in Anaheim, after learning that Dalaran had been attacked, Adlan gathered an interracial "volunteer army". The purpose of this volunteer army is twofold, one is to save as many people as possible, this is naturally to reduce the high-quality source of the Scourge Legion, saving those mages is to save the living themselves, although they can also wake up the dead from the cemetery, but those living mages can still become combat power if they survive. And it's also a life-saving grace that is greater than the sky, Edlan has no reason not to sell a big favor to Dalaran, of course, it would be better if he could save Antonidas together, the epic boss died one less one, he didn't want to be a bunch of hero-level "righteous partners" in the future to go to the world tree of Nodashir to fight Akmund, even the wilderness demigods were not his opponents, a group of mortal heroes went up to die? and it wasn't 40 foot men who would come back from the dead, it was completely death......
The second is naturally to hollow out Dalaran's reserves, whether it is funds, materials or what magic props, these are all lacking by Edlan, if he doesn't hollow it out, he can't support so many people, besides, if he doesn't hollow it out, will he throw it to Akmund and play another "sand sculpture" model destruction game after being summoned and be played together?
What a waste!
So, rather than having those things destroyed along with Dalaran, it would be better to move to the relative safety of Anaheim City.
Of course, in the face of Adelan's proposal, the human side reluctantly agreed, someone is a lord, and there are new tricks at the end of three days, and this matter is also a good thing for the long-term development of Anaheim City, so there is not much resistance, but the opposition on the side of the blood elves is relatively loud.
Sylvanas is okay, she wants revenge, as long as she can kill the undead or find trouble with Arthas, she is willing to help, and Liadline is the same, although she has not made great progress in a short period of time after learning the way of light from Edlan, she can indeed feel the gap in aggression between the paladin and the priest, so she also wants to improve herself through real combat, rather than playing with those wandering zombies outside the territory, so she also supports it.
Of course, this is not to say that the other blood elves don't mean this, but as the head of Kael'thas hand-picked, the great star sorcerer Solan Liane, she needs to consider this issue from the perspective of the whole picture.
"The elemental flow disorder caused by Dalaran's attack is not suitable for opening the portal, although our blood elf magister can forcibly open the portal there, it does not mean that we can maintain it for a long time, maintaining the portal needs to be huge to the point that you can't imagine, if this point alone can't be solved, then the people we sent out are just going to die! Solan Liane is seriously explaining some basics to the "magic idiot" Edlan.
Edlan didn't answer immediately, he unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform, and took out the necklace with a brilliant red heart gem from his bosom, and everyone present closed their mouths, because they could more or less feel the huge energy contained in this gem.
"Ai, Edlan! I can feel the powerful life energy from here, I feel that it is very similar to the nature of the Light, if we can thoroughly study how to combine these two energies, those dead lands can be restored very quickly, and even the air will not be full of toxins anymore!" Lisa Whitemane was excited like a child.
After hearing this theory, many people instantly had a clear understanding of what kind of attribute this energy they couldn't sense, and under the guidance of Lisa's "preconceived ideas", no one noticed that the rich life energy full of red dragon spells also covered the essence of the Well of the Sun.
Edlan didn't answer Lisa's inquiry, he lowered his head, stared at the heart-shaped ruby, and muttered, "Avena, Avena Tigo." Although I know that this request is very unreasonable, I know that you can hear it, you can feel it, and you can know what I think, I don't want to bind you with any big reason, I just want to ask you to lend me your strength. ”
The others watched Adeline talk to himself in wonder, but only Adeline could hear that he had been connected to "her" since he had taken it, but only in his mind.
Avena's voice came to Adelan's mind, "Please don't be so low-voiced, Daddy. I'll give it to you!"
Although this is not the first time that the other party has called herself "Daddy", every time I hear this girl like Azeroth's daughter call her Daddy, I always feel very strange...... Isn't this the consort of Azeroth, the yet-to-be-born Titan, by generation......? However, the feeling of being pregnant unmarried and having a child is not an ordinary awkwardness......
It's just that now, after getting familiar with the conversation with Avena in his mind, he is no longer hypocritical, he treats her as a close friend, but he doesn't know that this gives Anvina a great favor, so as soon as Edlan opened his mouth this time, she agreed.
"Thank you, I've wronged you. "Adelan is really grateful to her, for her generosity, and for her understanding.
"You're welcome, I know that Dad isn't strong enough to protect me from the prying eyes of the bad guys, so I can only continue to live here, which is actually quite good, so that I can stay with Dad all the time. ”
"Thank you......" Edlan thanked him heartily and put away his mind and turned to the crowd.
It was also the first time he had shown this in front of everyone, and in the face of everyone's curious eyes, Edlan had no choice but to pout and say: "This is a gift from the Red Dragon Legion, the life essence of Azeroth, she already has her own consciousness, and I have obtained her consent, so, I hope to use this power to save more people." With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the Lordaeron Elders represented by Lisa to be calm, "We have found a way to cure the problem of the land, even if it takes longer, it doesn't matter, but life is precious, if we argue for one more second, then the flame of life in Dalaran will be extinguished one more, I think everyone has not forgotten how the Scourge Legion expanded their army, right?
In other words, tens of thousands of powerful spellcasters will turn into undead and join the Scourge Legion, which we absolutely cannot afford...... So, in these difficult times, helping Dalaran is helping ourselves, and we have no choice. ”
"I'll admit that your words are very contagious, General Edlan, and that this ruby of yours can indeed provide us with the energy support of powerful portal spells. But have you ever wondered how many places we have to house these people if the population of Dalaran came here through the portal? This is also the second point I want to make, our territory, supplies, and food are not enough for us to expand any further, and the information about the suspected Dreadlord that your scouts found in Lordaeron King City is no joke, and this place cannot afford to lose the protection of high-end combat power! Otherwise, those sinister and cunning Nasrezm will not give up this good opportunity. ”
"Yes, Lady Solan Liane, I know what you're talking about, so the Brotherhood of Stonemasons has already started to expand, and I'm sure you've seen the magic of the cement, and with the help of the Magisters, the progress of the project can be faster...... As for the Dreadlord entrenched in the ruins of King Lordaeron's City, we really need to be vigilant, so I plan to take a few elites to this operation, our mission is to save people, not to fight to the death with Arthas, so we don't need to use too many high-end combat forces. "Edlan knows that as long as the Book of Medivan is in hand and Akmund is summoned, the Dreadlords will not be interested in the Eastern Continent at all, and their high-end combat power will follow their master across the Endless Sea to Mount Hyjal, where is the power they want to get, and those who remain in the Eastern Continent are some weak chickens.
That's why Edlan thought, as long as he left enough strength in the territory, he could make those Dreaddemon kings dare not mess around, after all, people are not stupid, they know that there are a lot of high-end combat forces stationed here, if they mess around, it will be completely worth the loss, they still have to keep the strength to fight with their masters, if it is wasted here, when Akmund comes, they will not have good fruit to eat, and as for those weak chickens? As long as some important people are replaced by them, there is really nothing to worry about the rest.
This is actually what Adelan figured out by himself in combination with "history", otherwise, if those Dreadlord really wanted to destroy the Eastern Continent, they would have acted a long time ago, so why would they need to keep Garitharth to resist stubbornly in the area of Fenris Castle? Jokes aside, even if many of the undead had their own will after the Lich King was hit hard by the Eye of Sargeras, that wave of numbers was inexplicable to Garethus, and it was impossible for the remnants of Lordaeron to fight back so beautifully......
As a result, Adlane had the confidence to ensure that his territory could still be stable, and while ensuring that his territory could still be safe, he planned this rescue operation, and now he can be regarded as having everything ready.
Solan Lian was convinced, after all, Adelan had a point, as long as it wasn't for the army, there would be no problem with the people left behind having the ability to protect the safety of the civilians and territories here, and since other things Adelan had already considered and started to implement it, then he was determined to succeed in this operation, so Solan Lian didn't stop it anymore.
Then, Edlan chose to follow the candidates to participate in the operation, including 100 priests including Liadeline and Lisa, 20 agents of the Shadow Creed led by Vanessa, 100 rangers led by Sylvanas, and 100 Magisters of the blood elves, a total of 320 people. Even if this person is placed in the normal city of Dalaran, it will not cause much turmoil, and it will neither attract the attention of the defenders of the city, nor will it attract the attention of the natural disaster undead, even if the combat power of these people is very high, but this number is too small.
Now, I just hope that everything is okay in Dalaran.
Solan Liane and the other 99 Magus were ready to cast spells together, and before Edlan was temporarily supplemented with his knowledge of how to efficiently transmit magical energy, he benefited greatly. The only pity is that this time he can't reach Dalaran in person, because he has to stand in this joint spellcasting circle, using him as a link to channel the energy of that ruby and provide these blood elf magisters with the necessary energy to maintain the portal.
The current portal technology is far inferior to the portals that are dedicated to the service of war in the "later generations", and the current magic is more of a pluralistic academic study by a group of people full of wisdom and philosophy, and it is not like the "later generations" who are all inclined to war. It is precisely because of the environment of the "afterlife" that the portal technology has developed by leaps and bounds, such as now, it takes 100 high-level magisters to jointly cast spells to break the interference of the distant elemental disorder and completely stabilize the portal at a suitable coordinate.
And the spell "Hereafter" only needs two mages......
At this time, Na Anne, Marcus's girlfriend, she is the only mage present who has lived in Dalaran, she knows that Dalaran is relatively empty and can unfold the detailed coordinates of the portal, and this time, she will also act as a guide to provide effective assistance to this team.
"Hum" With the flow and convergence of magic power, and the obscure incantations of the 100 blood elf magisters, the huge energy made everyone hear the vibration of the air, and the mana threads visible to the naked eye moved closer to the central area one by one, making the arcane light gathered in the middle brighter and brighter.
"Now, General Edlan, recharge us!" As soon as Solan Lian's voice fell, the dense arcane light began to quickly shape into a wide, towering portal of energy!
Edlan hurriedly followed the method he had just learned, he stood in the so-called formation, and began to send energy towards the energy gate. This immediately improved the situation.
"Okay! stabilized...... Lady Vanessa, it's your turn!"
Vanessa and her agents would be the first to enter the portal, and although Miss Naanne had repeatedly confirmed that the other end of the portal would lead to the middle of the hall of Violet Castle, no one knew what was going on in Dalaran, so it was necessary for the first team of Assassins skilled in stealth operations to explore the way.
In Adelan's mentality of gaining and losing, the detective carries letters and tokens to prove his identity to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings. After all, yes
According to his thoughts, the ideal state is that Dalaran breaks the city, those high-level dead and wounded, Antonidas fights Alsace alone, at this time, the people sent by Adlan are like saviors to save most of the survivors, but if they go early, Dalaran's defense is still as stable as Mount Tai, then those who are in high positions all the year round will not necessarily buy Edlan's account, they know in their hearts that icing on the cake and sending charcoal in the snow are two concepts, not to mention whether the other party will recognize your so-called " Friendly support", the proposal to let the mages of Dalaran and the civilians flee together was enough to make the high-ranking mages angry......
With this in mind, a few minutes later Edlan ushered in the secret agent's return, "It's a mess everywhere, Lord Vanessa has reached a preliminary agreement with a ** master named Modra, and now Dalaran's people have begun to prepare for retreat." ”
Thank God......
......
5 minutes ago, Dalaran, Violet Castle Hall.
"Thank you for your help, I'm Mage Modra, and your heroic deeds are destined to last forever!" spoke a human woman, who seemed to be able to fight and win against any enemy, despite her snow-covered sideburns and gaunt appearance.
After the internal "communication" of several ** divisions, Modra came here with a few battle mages to figure out who was so bold, and then she found out that the agent sent by Anaheim City took the initiative to identify himself and explain his intention.
"I've mobilized all the people I can send out, and they'll bring up the people hiding in the sewers, are you sure this portal will last a few hours?" said Modra, who didn't quite believe the very young-looking Assassin girl.
"Then you might as well go to the other side and ask for it, there is a great star magician called the Blood Elf, Solan Lian, who can answer your question accurately. ”
As soon as Vanessa said this, Modra understood that humans would not be able to create such a portal, even if Medivan opened the dark gate back then, he used the power of his guardian, and on the other side, it was necessary for orcs to sacrifice a large number of Draenei souls as energy to open it.
Even if this portal only spans thousands of kilometers, with today's level of magical knowledge, it is almost impossible to unfold this portal with low cost and manpower, especially in terms of human magic level, so when Vanessa talked about blood elves and great star magicians, she knew that those elves who have been playing magic for thousands of years since birth do have this ability. It's just that even the ** master Modra didn't expect how many high-level magisters those blood elves used and spent the essence energy of the Well of the Sun in order to maintain this portal.
Later, as the operation unfolded, more and more troops began to pass through the portal to reach Dalaran, and they also began to join the ranks of guiding the civilians with Edlan's greetings and kindness.
"I can't call the shots about what you're talking about...... "Modra, rejecting Vanessa's offer to empty all of Dalaran's warehouses.
"Then I'll agree with the authority of the Speaker. "After the arcane light flashed, an old mage with a long white beard arrived, and this old man had a tired face, but he was much better looking than the gray-faced Modra.
"Is that good? ”
"Of course it's not good, but isn't it also helpless?Do you want our people to have nothing to eat and wear after they take refuge in the past?" Several ** divisions have always kept in touch with each other, and Antonidas knew what Edlan meant as soon as he arrived, he looked at Liadline and Lisa, who were taking care of the wounded, and then turned his head to Vanessa, who was in charge of the negotiations, "This money, Dalaran can still afford it, as long as your lord can fulfill his promise." ”
Robbery while the fire is burning is not counted, it can only be regarded as paying some high price for the future.
"I swear in the name of my family and soul! Dear Your Excellency, although my lord is a playboy, you will never find a second human with such a heart. ”
Facing Vanessa's sincere expression, Antonidas squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, of course he knew that he could be convinced by those elves who were above the top, and willingly participate in this thankless rescue operation, that kid did have some ability, so it was not unacceptable to let the people retreat there, after making up his mind, Antonidas turned to Modra and asked, "Modra, how long will it take us to send everyone away?"
"A conservative estimate is that we will need at least 1 hour, Speaker...... With our current defensive strength, I'm afraid ......" Modra's words are full of bitterness, they have to go to the city wall to resist the attack of the undead, which is barely maintaining the defense line, but in this way, the enemy's high-end combat power is still in the rear "sitting", which is as if the opponent still has hole cards not lit, and almost all of his hole cards are on the table waiting for the opponent's "verdict"......
"Hmm...... I'll send someone to show you the way, and it's up to you how much you can take, and besides, I need you to send more troops to cover the civilians in Dalaran, I think you can do it, right?"
Vanessa didn't dare to pack the ticket, and after immediately going back to inform Adelan, she felt that Dalaran's situation was not good, and the latter decisively sent more paladins and the rest of the rangers...... I only hope that what I have done will not be compensated by my wife and my soldiers......
"Speaker?" Modra was a little incredulous, she didn't expect Antonidas to say such a thing as if she had given up so easily, but the next sentence seemed to ignite the fire in the hearts of these mages.
"Isn't it just one hour? The low-end battle has that kid's reinforcements to solve it, and as for Arthas, they ...... I'm here to buy you time!" After that, the elderly ** master held his staff, and glanced at Modra and the battle mages beside her who looked like they were already on the verge of collapse, his eyes showed shame, and after leaving these juniors with a kind smile, he stepped on the magic carpet he summoned without looking back, and flew towards the sky......
