Northland Storm Chapter 37 Stalemate?

Only then did Edlan realize that what he did seemed to have changed "history", the original history Alsace only left after resurrecting Kel'thugad as a lich at the Sunwell, but now this posture, this guy seems to want to directly push Silvermoon City!

Arthas may be angry, but what about Neozu? What about the plans of the demon masters behind them? Although Neozu has a rebellion, it is not yet time to rebel, at least now he does not dare to openly oppose those demons, so he dares to delay the completion of the plan?

Although he knew this, although he knew that in the end, Arthas still had to obey Neozu's orders, and would not use all his forces in this country with a small population, so it should be at most the undead army he brought with Quel'Salas, right?

But seeing the boundless army of the undead surging in the direction of the little living army on his side, Edlan still couldn't help but shudder. Even if he is still under the blessing of the two amplification states, he still looks so "radiant", but it is inevitable that this amount of light can make people feel hopeless, because he is a man, not a god, there is no absolute power difference, there is no absolute power suppression, in the face of such a number of enemies, no one will not be afraid.

It's just that some people can overcome it, some people can quickly adjust, and some people will be so scared that they pee their pants.

Adlane didn't want to do the latter, so he had to do something......

As the army of the undead began to press on all fronts, this caused the High Elf troops on both wings, who were barely able to maintain the battle line, to suffer heavy casualties in an instant! Including Edlan and Sylvanas in the middle, no matter how hard those so-called high-end combat forces tried to redeem the defeat, the current situation was like a landslide, and there was no way to recover by manpower alone.

Especially in the current environment, due to the decision of the Sun King Anastria Sunstrider to leave the most elite Magister legion of Quel'Salas in Silvermoon City, this has led to such a helpless and inevitable defeat of the troops on the front line, mainly by rangers, who evacuate civilians from all over the country, because they lack large-scale and large-scale killing units.

The scale and scale of the scale here does not refer to the blizzard or firestorm unleashed by the mage, nor does it refer to the fifteen fountains of light that Adlane did at once, nor does it refer to the rangers' barrage shooting and random shooting skills. Rather, it was a multi-mage team-in-force, just like the vast area of super-large spells that were sung with the human mages back then, and that was a veritable apocalypse, when the cataclysmic flames burned the army of trolls and laid a solid foundation for the final victory of the coalition forces, which was the super killer move of the mages in the war.

However, there is no here, the mages who are sent to the front line are basically only at the intermediate level, it is no problem to let them have some ice arrow fireball skills, and they can also be competent with some blizzard or firestorm, but it is difficult for them to choose the right spell at the moment in this situation of rout on all fronts. Although High Elves are born mages, not every mage is a battle mage, and this rule also applies to High Elf society.

So when Adelan was stunned by the suffocating performance of these mages, he gave up on the naïve idea that mages could use the blizzard to slow down the enemy's advance on a local battlefield.

What could Adelan do? He didn't have supreme command, and he wasn't familiar with the way the elves commanded, so what could he do?

While Arthas was in place like a statue, it seemed to be repairing his wounds, and the dozen or so Death Knights who guarded him, including Adelan's old acquaintance Faric, stood beside him like his strongest guards, and continued to shield him from his injuries.

No matter how Adelan blasted out the spell, in a certain "defensive formation" formed by those death knights, all of them were in vain, and in the same way, Sylvanas and the nearby rangers also keenly saw that this was a good opportunity to "beat the water dogs", and they all set up bows and shoot arrows, but except for those death knights who swung and swung their weapons and knocked away a few of the most damaging arrow skills, the others were almost all blocked by the dark green viscous protective shield, and finally even the arrows seemed to be acidified.

What are you doing? When will the anti-magic barrier still have this effect?Alsace's special point, how can even ordinary death riders have this effect now?Edlan complained secretly, but at the same time, this change also sounded the alarm bell for him, no matter whether the skill changes of those death knights were independently developed new skills or some other reason passively obtained, if Adelan still had to think and strategize everything according to the absolute reference in the game, I am afraid that he might die a miserable death in the near future.

"It's time for us to get out, it's absolutely unbearable!" Edlan shouted at Sylvanas, who was still shooting at Arthas, and while many of the rangers thought it was a good opportunity to beat Arthas, to be honest, although he knew that the thief would capture the king first, their efforts were almost all in vain. Edlan even thought that it would be more effective for them to suppress the undead armies with the firepower of Alsace, or at least it would alleviate many casualties for the troops on the front line.

Sylvanas took the time to look back in the direction of Sunny Wind Village, and found that the troops guarding the high ground of the village were more dangerous than on the frontal battlefield, as if the undead army was attacking that high ground much more fiercely, and it was also the focus of the gargoyles.

"I'm afraid not, the civilians haven't been evacuated yet!" Sylvanas's words also revealed helplessness and stubbornness, she was not willing to accept such a failure, but she also deeply understood that in this situation, the role of the rangers was too small.

Adelane is very painful, although he knows that the army is a state violence organ that exists to protect the people and carry out some specific tasks, but in the same way, if a country's army is lost, then the country is about to end, how to choose the balance between the two, this is not something Adelan should consider at present, and he doesn't have the brain to think about these fancy things.

Now on this battlefield, the form is extremely unfavorable for the living, and although Sylvanas, as the supreme commander, did not order a retreat, it was inevitable that the entire front would be severely compressed and quickly forced back.

This makes Adelan, who is almost alone in the forefront, very prominent, Adelan's direction is not that there are no enemies, but he has to face more enemies, but in terms of quality, the quality of those enemies is very poor, after taking the initiative to cancel the two amplification spells, Adelan is more about using devotion and divine nova, at most making up for the simulated ash awakening, such a divine spell offensive is enough to make the ghouls and other low-level undead who dare to seek a breakthrough point from him are burned clean.

Even with the arrival of death knights and abominations, Edlan, who has entered the hero level, is like a "Dinghai God Needle", as long as it is not a guy of Arthas's level, he always after the entire front is forced to retreat like a word, he chooses to use the rough holy energy to blast away the encirclement of those undead before the almost cut off back road is not closed, so as to retreat a few steps, and after stabilizing, he repeats his old tricks to kill the enemy as much as possible.

In fact, according to Sylvanas's idea, the worst-case plan is to retreat little by little like this, and at the same time inflict a lot of damage on the enemy, slow down the enemy's pace as much as possible, and also reduce the number of enemies. Although this reduction was nothing to the vast army of the undead, it was necessary for the very difficult defense of Silvermoon City to follow.

It's just that she took her core team to carry out the policy of facing the enemy herself, but now it was all covered by Edlan alone, which relieved her of the pressure and at the same time, she also had a huge affection for this human paladin who was almost selfless in her opinion, and at the time of the danger of this race, there was an "international friend" who was deliberately alienated by the High Elves to stand at the forefront, "sheltering from the wind and rain" for their vulnerable units , just to buy time for the civilians of their country to retreat, so not only Sylvanas was moved and fought harder, but the priests of Salas, who were already almost exhausted, burst out of unyielding holy light again under the leadership of Liadrin, and their existence added a little more confidence to the persistence of the rangers, this is the persistence and pride that the High Elves should have, how could the High Elves let humans protect them!

With such a mentality, the battle line of the High Elves miraculously reduced the speed of retreat, and these noble warriors sacrificed their lives to fight one by one, just so that the civilians behind them could evacuate more safely.

I don't know how long this lasted, but Edran was at the front and left and right, adding up to the maximum number of people he could maintain, and he didn't want these most determined warriors to die easily and become one of the Scourge Undead......

"Look, General, it's a green flag!" a ranger reminded Sylvanas, who was all focused on the battlefield, that the green flag had been raised on the high ground of Sunny Breeze Village, which was a reminder that the defenders could only give such a message after the evacuation of civilians to a safe place had been agreed in advance.

"According to the plan, we will retreat!" Sylvanas also made a quick decision, and after confirming that it was correct, ordered to retreat.

From the process of engaging the battle to the orderly retreat, this is a more difficult subject for military commanders than how to make the army attack effectively, and it is obvious that Sylvanas, who has only taken over the Ranger General for more than ten years but has never had experience in large-scale warfare, is not good at it, and Edlan, a half-ass, is no different.

So the High Elves chose a very primitive and instinctive retreat strategy, with the slow Priest, Mage and even Warrior and other professions retreating first, leaving the Ranger and stealth classes to gain time, and after the first wave of troops withdrew to a certain distance, the Rangers used their explosive speed to start running like joy!

After all, in this case, only the gargoyles in the sky will threaten the rangers who are running with all their might, and in the same way, after a round of being spit out by the crypt demons and causing a lot of damage, the Dragon Eagle troops began to change the focus of the battle from how to completely annihilate the enemy's air force and cover the ground forces, to how to protect themselves and cover the ground forces.

So now, although the few remaining Dragon Eagle troops can't form any large-scale combat effectiveness, they can still fight to cover the retreat of the main force and deal with the gargoyles in the air.

So in this way, after the fast-running units of the undead army were killed by the paladins and rangers behind the palace, there was finally a short vacuum in the undead offensive. Perhaps this was intentional on the part of Arthas, or perhaps it was the High Elves' crooked retreat that allowed the army of the undead to be exposed and a large number of living forces were killed, and the high-ranking undead needed to stop and "replenish" their armies from the battlefield.

This is a good thing for the remnants of Sylvanas, but not for Silvermoon City. The troops in the preface did kill a lot of undead, but compared to the lowest-level undead units such as skeletons, zombies, and ghouls, the various professions and soldiers of the High Elves who died in battle were reawakened as undead, I am afraid that they will be more tricky in the next attack on Silvermoon City......

......

Heading north from the main road, the remnants of the army of less than 10,000 men returned to Silvermoon City, and sure enough, the Sun King Anastria ordered these exhausted troops to join the defense of Silvermoon City, and he himself let the royal family's most loyal spellbreakers and elite Magus legions participate in the defense of Silvermoon City.

The army of the undead followed, and they began to attack almost instantly!

As the saying goes, a lonely city cannot be defended, which means that a lonely city cannot be defended. Especially like Silvermoon City, where a city is almost equal to a country's city, it is impossible for Silvermoon City to defend it when all the outposts and lands are lost, without allies and helpless, and even more so when the scouts report that those Amani trolls are also about to move.

Darkan's betrayal led to the neutralization of the High Elves' final and strongest magical barrier, both physically and psychologically, which cast a haze and anger over the faces of many Elves.

Right now, these angry High Elves are taking their wrath out on the undead who dare to defile this beautiful and majestic city with their filthy bodies!

Countless arrows, countless magic, they came out of the city wall, suddenly appeared from the ground, exploded the battlefield in all colors, and also messed up the originally balanced elements around them, and these mages who were originally very concerned about the casting environment couldn't care so much at this moment, they didn't need to aim at any range of magic, just throw them into the formation of the army of the undead, and they didn't need to confirm what kind of results he had achieved, because he was about to prepare for the next round of spells......

Anastria stood at the top of the Tower of the Sunrage, watching the battle through some kind of surveillance spell that gave an overview of the situation. As a "hero" of the previous war, Edlan was "honored" to be invited to the king's side as a temporary "military advisor" to the spirits of the natural disaster. After arriving here from Edlan, he was placed in a corner like a forgotten man, except for a symbolic greeting from Anastria, and no one cared about him.

Edlan looked at this old man with long white hair and pale complexion, Anastria's skin gradually thinned, and when he spoke to other elves, his voice was also very gentle, but he could still see from his powerful voice from time to time that he still had some control over the country, and this kind of non-anger and self-esteem was not something that a half-hung lord like Adelan could learn for a while.

Anastria has a pair of sharp blue eyes, although there is not much life left in his once slender and powerful body, these eyes are not dulled by age, but make them seem to be as deep and thorough as if they have seen the warmth and coldness of the world.

Maybe this is the reason why this king of the High Elves deliberately left a certain human commander who had robbed him of the glory that originally belonged to the High Elves?

This is a war belonging to the High Elves, if a human is in the limelight, then what is the decision he made to withdraw from the alliance back then? Moreover, a small paladin lord can actually injure the commander of the undead army head-on, while his own ranger general is almost useless, which is extremely detrimental to the High Elves' sense of honor, so Anasteria must make this decision, under the pretext of reward, under the pretext of reuse, to idle Edlan, at least temporarily.

This is a little different from "history", originally the undead army of Arthas directly took the ghost land at a lightning speed, at this time the Sun King and his elite Magister army were on Quelldanus Island together, and when they rushed back to Silvermoon City, under the betrayal of Darkan, the magic barrier was broken, and the lack of high-end combat power Silvermoon City has been breached, and in desperation, the Sun King can only lead the surviving elves to board the ship and retreat to Queldanus Island.

But now, due to Edlan's initial warning, Sylvanas paid more attention to delaying time, resulting in the fall of the Spiritlands being slower than "history", which made Darkan, who was hesitating whether to betray or not, even more hesitant, because he couldn't see the devastating power of Arthas's army of the undead, and even a small Ranger General and a small human paladin army could fight their way out of those undead armies, so he had to reevaluate his so-called future "ally" Is it appropriate for him to take such a big risk to betray his homeland?

This undoubtedly gave the High Elves a bit of a buffer, and after meeting with Sylvanas and Edlan, it also made the Sun King aware of the seriousness of the matter, so he was not not present at the most dangerous time in Silvermoon City, as in "history".

So now, it seems like there's a good show to watch?

Edlan sat in the corner boredly pondering the of the High Elves, the eighteen paladins who fought with him had already sacrificed three of them, two were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured, and he, relying on Naru's backstage, was spared the pain. The other paladins were treated similarly to him, being thrown into the ambulance station to be treated or acting as healers, without giving them a chance to return to the battlefield anyway.

Similarly, it was the first time that Adelan had seen Anastria, dressed in a battle armor forged by the High Elves, Luminaia, a soft plate armor that was very protective and lightweight, and a weight that the caster could afford......

I'm afraid that even its first user himself didn't realize that it was a weapon that already had self-awareness, and the Sun King was now holding a staff in his left hand with a crystal that could be felt without looking at it, and if it was "set", it was a card with great magical power.

What makes Edlan even more subversive is that according to her casual conversation with Sylvanas during the retreat, her description shows that Anastria is a powerful mage and has many warrior skills, he is very fond of using fire magic, and is also very agile and powerful as a warrior, when he was young, he used fire magic shields to protect himself, and killed those trolls in the army of trolls through spells such as short teleportation and flashing!

It turned out that he just thought that the Sun King was one of the most powerful mages in the world, but through this description, it was not difficult for Edlan to see that this Sun King was actually a "magic swordsman"!

This kind of deed of demonic and martial arts double cultivation seems to be very beautiful, but if you don't have enough time to be profound, it is easy to become unsuitable on both sides, and the elves have enough time to learn and polish their skills, and change to human beings, unless it is really a talented guy or a guy like Edlan who has a plug-in, no one can really achieve demonic and martial arts dual cultivation, at least in terms of time, it is absolutely not enough.

P.S1: The description of Anastria as the boss of the Demon and Martial Arts can be found in the official novels of "The Bloodline of the High Elves" and "Wrath of the Lich King", which is based on the official setting.

P.S2: Actually, in the quest for the Blood Elf Inheritance Armor, the Sun King didn't use many spells, more like integrating spells into melee attacks to fight Arthas......
