Chapter 750: The Story of Antonidas and the Four Mage Apprentices

But whenever you are a Dharma Master, who doesn't have a whim.

Antonidas didn't feel very good.

I always feel like something is going to happen.

So the city of Lordaeron was blown up.

Dalaran is separated from Lordaeron by a lake from Lordanmere, one on the south shore and one on the north shore, and you can walk back and forth in a day by boat.

Such a distance is not at all a strategic depth.

So when the vanguard of the Undead Scourge appeared, Antonidas had to choose the safest and worst way to deal with itβ€”β€”β€”β€” the Arcane Barrier lockdown.

More than twenty years of peace have not come easily, and the prosperity of magical civilization belongs to the entire alliance, and Dalaran at this time is just a dew drop under the moonlight, and it cannot withstand the baptism of war at all.

Why?

Of the members of the Council of Six, only Antonidas was in the city, and more than 300 registered archmages were scattered all over the world.

Dalaran's garrison at this time was terrifyingly weak.

Although in being Ogrim. After the Hammer of Doom sacked once, Dalaran moved from the Cross Islands to the southern shores of Lake Lordamere and strengthened the city's defenses.

But the city is dead, but the man is alive.

If there is no one to guard it, how long can you keep it with magic enchantment?

Antonidas habitually picked up his pen and wanted to write to Terenus, only to find out......

Then only the Barovs can be counted on.

But Carlos is leading his troops to fight in Arathi, will it be in time?

It turns out that Alex. Barov is still reliable.

In the afternoon of the same day, the private soldiers of the Barov family, who had been numbering 300 men, were stationed in Dalaran and were at the disposal of Antonidas.

The results are outstanding.

It's not that Dalaran is missing these three hundred.

In fact, the mages had enough minions to guard Dalaran.

But the presence of friendly troops proves that Dalaran has not been abandoned.

This is a huge morale boost.

But as more and more intelligence gathered, Antonidas's mood grew worse and worse.

Even His Excellency the Archmage openly questioned the veracity of the news.

"Arthas blatantly murdered his father at his own coronation? The king of Lordaeron destroyed his own royal capital? Is it me, a bad old man, who has a bad brain, or is there something wrong with this era? ”

Antonidas wasn't the only one who felt the absurdity, anyone with an online IQ would feel outrageous when they heard the news for the first time.

But sometimes life is just that outrageous.

Under the guidance of Kel'thugad, the leading party, Arthas led a small number of elite troops to raid the defensive nodes of Dalaran, directly destroying the arcane barrier carefully arranged by Antonidas.

In desperation, Antonidas could only deal in a hurry, taking his mage apprentice to personally confront his nominal student.

There was no honor in this battle.

Antonidas, who single-handedly supports the magical enchantment, is like tying his own hands.

If he gave up maintaining the Arcane Barrier, then Dalaran would not have survived the Scourge Legion's peak.

But with the Arcane Barrier maintained, how could an Archmage be a match for the Death Knight with Frostmourn in his hand.

After the tragic death of four apprentices at the hands of Arthas's sword, Antonidas was completely enraged.

His Excellency the Archmage is ready to cast a powerful mage to end Arthas's life of sin.

Then, the haunted Kel'thugad used his long-stored strength and understanding of magic and mentor to use a magical counteract.

Then, Frostmourn pierced Antonidas's body.

The archmage just died.

But the archmage is the archmage after all, the strongest one who has dominated Dalaran for decades.

Not even the Frost Sorrow could enslave his soul in Dalaran.

"It doesn't matter, find the Book of Medivan."

Under the influence of frost sorrow, Alsace's humanity has long since disappeared, and his emotions have gradually faded.

The Death Knight had no guilt or pride in killing Antonidas.

It's just a task.

After sending the signal, the Scourge began to attack the city, and under the leadership of Kel'thugad, Arthas easily found the Book of Medivan from Kenrito's Secret Treasure Cave and took it with him.

If it hadn't been for Crassus's timely arrival, Dalaran would have been doomed again.

Abandoning the outer city and raising the core Violet Castle into the sky, Dalaran preserved the best part of it under the auspices of Crassus.

But again, Dalaran was slaughtered.

However, when the Undead Scourge tried to continue its attack on Alterac in the south, it was stumped by the terrible terrain of the highlands.

Even skeleton soldiers can't ignore the laws of physics, right?

God knows how desperate the mad Barov family has been, and a small Alterac has sent 70,000 troops to encircle and suppress the orc tribe, and there are still a large number of formed troops stationed in the country.

The feint Scourge gave up the assault on Alterac City, baptized by a large number of crossbow arrows and artillery trebuchets.

Because time is not on the Lich King's side, Neozu must race against time if he wants to succeed.

Alterac's strategic position is too low.

The next target for the Scourge is to the north, in Quel'Sellas.

Whether it's to fulfill a promise or achieve a goal.

The Sunwell is needed to resurrect Kel'thugad, as is the Sunwell to open a door to Azeroth for Akmund.

So Silvermoon City is the next target of the Scourge.

Only before that, there are two small obstacles.

Barrier Pass, as well as Stratholme.

Without the capture of the barriers, the army of the undead will not be able to advance eastward from Lordaeron City.

If you don't destroy Stratholme, attacking the Eternal Song Forest will face the possibility of being cut off.

From the moment the Book of Medivan was captured, the ritual of summoning Akmund had begun.

But the more Kel'thugad tried, the more he found the gap between himself and Medivan, the more he resented Dalaran's injustice, and the more he believed that his choice was not wrong.

Although Naozu has acquired the dark forbidden knowledge of the Burning Legion, Kil'Gardan will not give it the technology related to spatial teleportation.

So relying on Kel'thugad became the Lich King's only option.

Kel'thugad could not serve the Lich King better without a body.

So the resurrection of Kel'thugad is imperative.

"Marshal, why do you want to give up the barrier pass?"

Garrissus asked, puzzled.

Carlos was in a coma for five days and missed the plane that rescued Dalaran.

It was that he was just exhausted, and after recovering, he naturally woke up.

When Carlos awoke, Garissus rightfully surrendered command of the army.

Gather was satisfied with being able to serve Carlos as an adjutant.

The joy of serving the General once again was a source of great glory for Garissus.

No, Carlos at this time was already the marshal of the Union.

"If you lose your land, you lose your land. It is true that the barrier is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the main defenses are on the side of Lordaeron, and the target of the defense is also in the direction of the Valley of the Hearth. Relying on the barrier to stop the undead natural disaster may be able to delay for a day or two, but there is no point. ”

Carlos explained.

"How can it be meaningless, if we hold on for one more day, more people will be rescued......"

"Rescued?

Carlos interrupted Garethus' speech, which also aroused the curiosity of the Lordaeron soldiers who were watching around.

"Correct a cognitive error of yours."

Carlos smiled confidently, very contagious.

"In terms of strength, it is still our alliance that has an absolute advantage. In Arathi I have a whole army of seventy thousand, and Uther, if not a fool, has now climbed to the port of Minahir. As long as the forces are integrated, those undead are no match for us at all. ”

Carlos's rhetoric was uplifting, but Garissus was the upright boy after all.

"But does this conflict with our abandonment of barriers?"
