Chapter 35 The Slowly Setting Sun

The dry and icy freezing air blew in, and the tension that dissipated instantly after seeing the reinforcements was mixed with the feeling of dissatisfaction with the reinforcements that they were not what they had hoped for swept over again.

Edlan and his party arrived and stopped next to the Ranger General, this is a slightly further position in the battle line, Sylvanas is here to command and lead the whole situation, this position ranged units can hit the front, but there will also be danger, the undead army's crypt demons and meat grinders are very powerful ranged units.

Clusters of soft light fell on the warriors who were still fighting bloodily, and the eighteen paladins brought by Edlan quickly relieved the pressure of healing and support for the already scarce Salas priests (priests). (I don't really understand why, anyway, in the Blood Elf Inheritance Armor questline, the High Elf Priest at the time was called this name, the mage was called Salas Magister, and Li Yajun at that time was a high-ranking priestess.) )

"It's a paladin! praise the Holy Light!" a tired face of a female elf dressed in a gorgeous cloth robe showed a smile of excitement and relief, after receiving help, the priests who were already scarce among these high elves after a long battle could finally take a little breather.

"Liadrin, don't get too excited, there's only so many of them......" Sylvanas poured cold water on her friend, then turned to Edlan and frowned, "Why are you here? This is not the place you should be. ”

While speaking, after receiving the blessing of the powerful king directly cast by Edlan, the Ranger General casually shot two arrows at the crypt demon in the distance, and she did not look back, and continued to concentrate on all possible situations on the battlefield.

"As I said, the army of the undead can't be stopped head-on, especially with an army like yours!, so ......"

"Knock, knock!" two arrows flew, Edlan was quick-eyed, and took two steps forward, blocking the arrow that was fired at Liadrin, and on the other side, Sylvanas was even more desperate, and she used the arrow she shot to shoot several enemy arrows directly in the air in succession that tried to sneak up on other fragile priests!

Edlan didn't care about admiration, nor did he care about what to say, and he didn't care about feelings, and told these long ears bluntly, "...... So, it's time to withdraw, and if even the last elite troops protecting the country have all become accomplices to death, how can Quel'Salas rise again?"

Edlan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the ears of every hearing High Elf in the vicinity. What he means is that Quel'Thalas is doomed to the country, and Silvermoon City is definitely going to fall, so now is to leave more power and seeds for the future return of the High Elves.

So almost at the moment when Edlan finished speaking, many elves tried to refute it, but now that the army of the undead was retreating, when their proud magical barrier was completely broken, and now when countless comrades and civilians had been awakened by the evil necromantic magic and joined the ranks of attacking their homeland......

They were speechless.

"No! we can't evacuate!At least not yet!There are still quite a few residents of Weatherwind Village and the Eastern Temple who haven't had time to evacuate!" Sylvanas decisively dismissed Edlan's claims, during which she also took the time to shoot two ghouls who tried to cross the thin line of Silvermoon City guards and paladins who had just joined the battle, and were killed on the spot by the quick-eyed Ranger General.

Although due to Adelan's intervention, the ranger general was able to carry out the evacuation of the people a lot earlier, but after the magic barrier failed and a new round of battles suddenly broke out, the High Elf civilians, who were used to living a peaceful life on weekdays, reacted quite slowly, and it took almost an hour for more than 3,000 civilians in the two places to evacuate!

"Be careful—" Liadlin shouted, and she immediately propped up the Truth Barrier to block the thing that had been thrown by the meat grinder in the distance that had been mixed into a huge mass of flesh, and the originally brilliant barrier of holy light suddenly dimmed a lot!

But before Liadeline could catch her breath, she suddenly found that in the air, the dozens of ghouls that had been thrown had fallen towards her place with their teeth and claws!

The first reaction of the nearby rangers was to shoot in that direction, and more priests began to prepare to cast the Truth Word Shield on the warriors who were concentrated on the attack, and Sylvanas even felt the handle of his sword and was ready to switch into melee weapons at any time.

It was also at this time that the strongest high-ranking priest present, Liadrin, was temporarily unable to mobilize the Holy Energy again during the embarrassing period of "the old power is gone, and the new power has not been born", but just when she was about to despair, a brighter, thicker, broader, and more revealing sense of her presence Truth Barrier opened.

Under the effect of the aura of punishment, this mantra barrier opened by Adlan almost became a protective shield that was very restrained against the undead monsters, and those ghouls who smashed on this shield were burned by the holy flame almost instantly, and when they hit the ground, most of them had already been burned off, and there was no longer any danger.

This really relieved the people in the neighborhood.

The army of the undead on the front line suddenly retreated like a tide on both sides of the net, which made the positions of the two wings of the High Elves miserable, but Sylvanas did not dare to send more troops to the two wings to reinforce at all, because Arthas was slowly walking to the front of the formation surrounded by several death knights, and there was no trace of life on his pale face, but he could unexpectedly read the expression, which was a kind of appreciation and relief, and the pleasure of imminent satisfaction.

"Oh~ Look, my dear old friend, I'm glad to see you become so powerful! so powerful that I want to give you the position of the head of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! Uther's soul is as stubborn as a stinky stone......"

"Arthas!" Edlan instantly replenished himself with the blessing of strength and wisdom, and the Flame of the Heart, Truth Technique, Tenacity, Piety, Punishment, Focus, Crusader, and various Resistance Auras were all activated!

So in the surprised eyes of everyone, he took a few steps forward, "The people in front of him get out of the way, you are not his opponent!"

"Do as he says!" Sylvanas shouted behind Edlan, telling the soldiers in the front row to leave quickly, as she had a brief encounter with Arthas. The arrow at the first Elven Gate was her most damaging Chimera shot, which simulated the spitting of a subspecies of two-headed dragons like the Chimera, one was a frost attack and the other was a toxin attack, both of which could deal massive damage, but Arthas knocked the arrow containing huge energy into the air!

This was a shock to Sylvanas, who realized that her ranged attacks had no effect on the Death Knight. Therefore, among all the people present now, she is very confident that she is the strongest, but even her strength can't shake this damn death knight for half a point, so when Edlan stood up and decided to fight Arthas head-on, Sylvanas very decisively ordered the other soldiers to leave, not to sacrifice in vain to increase the quality of the other party's troops.

Arthas also commanded very tacitly: "You wait here. ”

The unknown Death Knights stood on their knees, their expressionless horses and stopped in place to watch Arthas move forward.

In addition to Faric, Edlan could even see that the guy with the appearance of the High Elves had become a Death Knight, but he didn't know him, although he learned the news of the fall of those old paladins, but now fortunately he didn't see the faces of his acquaintances, so there would be no burden on his mind.

Arthas rode slowly forward on the invincible horse that had been transformed into a death horse, Arthas loved the invincible mount of his life, and now after transforming it into an undead, he specially transformed it into a different shape, which can be regarded as the only trace of "fun" in his few human natures.

The two sides stood about 100 yards apart, and there was no obstacle between him and Edlan after the High Elves gave way in the front row.

Edlan felt Sylvanas standing behind him, even though he knew it was in "history" This is where she died, but now if he wants to keep the strength of the High Elves, he must stand up now, because if Sylvanas is killed and transformed into a banshee, and even her body is transported to Silvermoon City to parade through the streets, this kind of blow is too great for the High Elves, and these undead who were killed by the undead in despair and then awakened by Arthas, they exert far more power than in front of them, which is not a good thing.

So even though he knew he was invincible, Edlan still had to step up and delay as much time as possible, he had to do it! With Sylvanas, his chances of survival would be much higher, so he quickly added another set of "buffs" to Sylvanas.

The existence of the hero mid-level Sylvanas, the hero junior Edlan against the epic primary-level Arthas, this kind of existence that directly crossed a large level barrier made the former and both of them can't help but cheer up.

But when Arthas's body began to surge with the abyss-like black energy intertwined with the three auras of blood red, dark green and ice blue, and the power of the epic level was revealed, Edran instantly felt that he was not facing a person, but like a bottomless cliff, just standing next to it would make people tremble! And this kind of cliff seemed to have some seductive voice, as long as a thought, a step forward, a living life would fall without listening to its own control......

"Tsk, my old friend, it seems that I have lost my eyes, and you don't seem to be that strong, and I have slaughtered more than a dozen paladins like you, and their souls are nourishing the Frost Sorrow, nourishing me, what a wonderful thing...... So, my friend, do you want to be the food of the frost sorrows, or submit to me again?" Arthas rode on a skeletal horse, he was not in a hurry to attack, for the undead, the most important thing was time, although he was still a living man, but his mind had gradually become undead, so in order to pass the time, he quickly learned how to make fun of himself.

For example, using words to humiliate or provoke one's opponents, so that after killing them, when looking at their desperate, painful, hateful, or helpless eyes before death, and then absorbing their souls that have nowhere to escape, so that his empty heart can get a trace of satisfaction, which is a kind of satisfaction that Frost Sorrow cannot give him, so he must kill the living, he must kill the living who have enough to play, so that he can constantly fill his heart that is still beating, but cannot produce heat.

"When you kill your own men, your father, and your mentor, when you destroy your country, when you slaughter the living, we are no longer friends!

"Boom!" As if a muffled thunder explosion was heard, a sacred fire shot down like lightning, hitting Arthas's face as he was caught off guard. The Holy Energy and the thick dead qi burst into a fierce confrontation in an instant, and the gas from the crashing impact swept away the rancid stench deposited on the ground.

"Oh, look at you, what have you learned these days, as a paladin, you can use such a dastardly sneak attack......" Arthas, still sitting firmly in the saddle, wanted to make a painful appearance, but unfortunately his facial muscles were too stiff to do it.

Moreover, Edlan didn't give him any chance to make expressions and continue to express his feelings, and various divine spells such as Punishment, Divine Shock, Judgment, Divine Fire, Holy Light Magic, Holy Light Flash, and Martyr's Light burst out in a very rhythmic and circular manner!

From the visual point of view, these spell lights are like a display of fire power of a holy light "turret", and the continuous holy flames and holy energy almost covered the black death knight, and some of the undead not far from the holy power that escaped after the violent clash with the dead qi had to retreat to avoid being affected, and the blessing of those scattered holy energy on the side of the living was not only harmless, but inspired them to become more and more courageous.

Sylvanas also seized the opportunity just right, and the movement of her hands barely stopped, from Edlan's divine spell attack like "rain", the arrows with various harmful states were shot towards the black gas that shone with holy light!

But Sylvanas didn't get sound feedback on hitting a human body or armor, which was so abnormal!

Arthas moved, urging his death horse to charge at Edlan, who was still casting the disgusting divine spell, and he needed to talk to his friend who had become a trickster about the battle between the so-called knights.

But Arthas hadn't advanced a few steps, and what fell above his head was not a meteor-like divine fire condensed with holy energy, but a hammer of judgment, a hammer of sanctions, condensed from holy energy!

"Poof-" There was a loud sound, and Arthas's straight figure was also bent down by the heavy blow of this moment, and he even felt that he had lost all his senses at this moment, he was dizzy?!

Then Arthas's mind appeared that he had committed a series of intolerable mistakes, slandering the mercenaries and strangling them, killing his own men, killing his father, slaughtering all the living, killing his teachers...... This kind of sight, which seemed to be watching everything from the perspective of a normal person, made his mind feel stunned again!

He could still feel remorse? He even felt that he needed to repent for the mistakes he had made! He wanted to turn to the light for salvation!

It's ridiculous!

"Ding Ding Dong ......"

Seizing this opportunity for the opponent to have almost no defense, Sylvanas's high-damage arrow skills rained down on Arthas's armor and body, but did not cause any wounds on the Death Knight, just like an arrow hitting the dead flesh, only a dead silence.

The dark green spherical shield shrouded Arthas, blocking Edlan's endless bombardment of divine spells, which made him "wake up" from his "hallucination" again, "I really want to get you more and more when this spell of repentance can be used like this, my friend, I would love to see what kind of surprise you can bring me when you become a death knight." ”

With that, Arthas urged the horse to move closer, and Edlan turned his horse's head to pull away, "Windranger, get out of the way!"

Sylvanas didn't know what Adelan's idea was, because the two had very limited interactions so far, and this was the second time that the two had cooperated so far, so she couldn't talk about any tacit understanding, nor did she have any heart, so for the sake of unnecessary misunderstandings and safety, she quickly moved away from the two sides who were in the middle of the field.

Having gained more space, Edlan began to attack very targetedly, he rode on his horse and fought and retreated, in the second round of long-range spell bombardment, the judgment skill was attached to the Righteous Seal, and the original solidified Judgment Hammer became a golden hand with a clenched fist, it smashed down, although it did not hurt Arthas at all, but it really slowed down the speed of his mount's movement!

The golden holy energy poured out from Edlan's body from the bottom up like a halo again, and finally turned into a golden eagle and dissipated above his head, this pale golden light quickly wrapped him and the war horse, Edlan has received very little strengthening, but the war horse is different, its cheerful and jumping hooves are always telling "its body has become lighter, and its steps are more flexible".

Justice Pursuit!

While slowing down Arthas and speeding himself up, Adelan almost kept a distance of 40 yards from Arthas, constantly bombarding long-range divine spells, and what made Arthas feel most embarrassed was that his anti-magic barrier was actually cracked by Adelan's divine spell damage that he didn't care about at all! And this rift is still getting bigger!

At this time, Arthas suddenly realized that Edlan, an old friend who had surprised him countless times, had lived up to his expectations this time, because under the blow of his seemingly crude divine magic, which seemed to be extremely wasteful, the hit point of each of his attacks was actually the same location of this anti-magic barrier!

What's even more infuriating is that the annoying Ranger General discovered this problem before he did, and from the halfway point of the second round of spell attacks just now, she began to constantly attack this rift with her strange but powerful archery skills!

And to make Arthas feel that his bottom line has been seen through, the 40-yard distance that Adlane maintains from him is just stuck outside the range of the few ranged skills of the Death Knight class, Ice Chain, Wind Impact, Blood Lord's Grip, Blighted and Withered, Strangling, Ice Touch, Death Coil and Death Grip, the only skill he can use to quickly clear his own deceleration state is Phantom Step, but he can't leave the warhorse, otherwise if he loses his movement speed later, let alone Edlan, even the other rangers can see the biggest weakness of the Death Knight, although they can't break the defense, but it's a very troublesome thing for him.

In fact, during the Second World War, the orcs created such a thing as a death knight under the influence of Gul'dan, and although the Lordaeron Alliance had some combat experience when they fought with them, it was a new class after all, and then with the rapid defeat of the orcs and trolls, the various characteristics of the death knight profession have not yet been fully mastered by the alliance's army.

If Edlan wasn't a traverser, then he probably would have rushed up to fight against the Death Knight like Uther and the previous paladins, if it weren't for the fact that a paladin of Uther's level had a huge holy energy protector, he would soon be overwhelmed by the death knight's various disgusting plagues, diseases, frost and other states and lose his combat effectiveness......

It is precisely because of this that he developed such a risky tactic to face Arthas, after all, with the current strength of Edlan, there is no chance of winning if he fights Arthas head-on, and the same is true for one more Sylvanas, with Frost Sorrow in hand, Neozu can increase Arthas at any time, and even the veteran epic-level boss Anastria Sunchaser was killed with hatred when he had the artifact Flame Strike and fought near the magic Sun Well!

Because he has to deal with not only Arthas and Frost Sorrow, but also another Naozu, how can he be undefeated?

So how could Adelan Hod dare to use a mere hero beginner to fight Alsace head-on?

So after Adelan was about to blast out the fourth round of long-range spells, Arthas slowly reached the place where he had planned through his positioning, and then reached out to the Ranger General who had been putting cold arrows on the side with lightning speed......

Death's Grip!
