Chapter 53: Ashes Fall

The crowd let out an exclamation as they saw that the undead surrounding Ares were multiplying in number, and it was clear that the Scourge wanted to drown the paladins by numbers. Since they can't win in quality.

In less than a quarter of an hour, mountains of corpses had been erected around Ares, and the severed limbs and severed arms of the Scourge soldiers were scattered all over the ground, proclaiming the brutality of the battle......

Several griffon knights from the Eagle's Nest tried to rescue Ares from the air, but before they could reach the edge of the encirclement, they were surrounded by hordes of gargoyles, and the griffon knights who managed to escape the gargoyle could not escape the siege of the undead archers...... Outside the city of King Lordaeron, there was only one holy light left at this moment, and that was the light of the Ash Bringer.

Ever since Ares inherited the sword, it has been almost human-sword-in-one, and its name has been etched into the life of the paladin. Holding the legendary sword, Ares roared and continued to fight. Light continued to burst out from the blade, flashing the surrounding undead, and he was like a bright and dazzling sun on the ground, blowing a divine storm after a storm.

Several crypt demons screamed and pounced on Ares from behind the side, trying to attack his blind spot. However, the sword seemed to be able to sense the presence of the undead, and the holy light was integrated into Ares's blood, giving him great power, and at the same time, the power of the sunwell enhanced his explosive power, making every blow full of power, and wherever the sword pointed, a pure flame fell. Almost Sword Crit...... As soon as several crypt demons approached, their heads were cut off by the paladin's sword, and disgusting worm brains flew into the air......

The amazing performance of the head of the knights blinded everyone, but he was not a god, and after three hours of high-intensity fighting, exhaustion welled up in his heart, and Ares felt his arm go numb and his breathing became short. In the cold of winter, sweat covered Ares's face, and his hands were already stained with the blood of his enemies. The foul-smelling blood and pus didn't affect him in the slightest, but his physical strength couldn't keep it up.

Another wave of undead rushed up, and the Ash Bringer swung forward, an arc with fire forming in the air, and in an instant, scorched a dozen undead soldiers. But Ares also felt his heart beat at the limit. He withdrew his greatsword and stuck it in the ground. A blazing flame ignited from beneath his feet, and within a few meters, no undead dared to approach......

The light was still flickering, but he needed support......

With his head held high, Ares looked at the defenders of Lordaeron at the top of the city, all of them anxious, but no one could rescue their high lord. Arator was already excited enough to take a squad out of the city and rescue Ares. But he was tightly stopped by Luo Ning and others.

"Aren't you mages? What about your spells? What about your abilities?! ”

After being stopped, Arator shouted excitedly at Ronin. However, the weather-hardened Luo Ning did not care about this child. He walked up to Gianna, and the two seemed to have come to an agreement that to rescue Ares, they had to take risks, and they had to take risks...... And Gianna has long been prepared for this......

Standing above the royal city of Lordaeron, two of Azeroth's most powerful mages began to cast spells. Endless arcane energy surged around Gianna and Ronin, purple, blue, and red light flickering and dancing around them.

Finally, more than ten seconds later, above the royal city, two rays of light flashed, and the two disappeared into the dark night sky, and at the same time, at the foot of the royal city, around Ares, two equally dazzling lights flashed. The harsh white light was no less than the holy light that Ares wielded.

In an instant, Gianna and Ronin appeared on Ares' left and right at the same time. They quickly put a magic shield on themselves. Before there was time to say a word, after the teleportation was over, Ronin and Gianna grabbed Ares and recited a powerful spell of ice and fire.

At the same time, a large number of Scourge Legions also surrounded them, and the heat emitted by the "dedication" burned the undead soldiers in the front row, but the undead soldiers in the back row rushed up with those burnt white bones and rotten flesh.

Arrows and bullets were still flying in the air, and every now and then a griffon or two and a void dragon flew overhead, roaring like beasts. On the ground, grabbing Ares's shoulder, Gianna first began to cast spells, the air around her became extremely cold, hoarfrost fell from the sky, the ground under Gianna's feet suddenly solidified into snow white, and the frozen lines spread out from the ground, at the same time, in the extreme cold, row after row, ice picks quickly drilled out of the frozen land, piercing a whole row of undead warriors......

The undead warriors who were originally immune to cold and frost were powerless before this physical attack caused by elemental transformation, their bodies were pierced by sharp ice picks like skewers, and the entire row of undead soldiers was instantly fixed to the ground, and at the same time as Gianna cast the spell, Ronin also cast the Ring of Fire, a two-meter-high wall of flame that blocked the three of them and the Scourge Legion. Immediately after, Luo Ning used all his strength to cast a second spell, the Fury of Flames.

Everyone could only watch from the high wall as the two mages fought on the most dangerous front line......

A griffin knight had to quickly withdraw after dropping a storm hammer, and the moment the hammer landed, lightning flew and fire erupted from the staff in Ronin's hand, and the flames blew in the wind towards the undead army held in place by Gianna's icicle. In an instant, ice and fire were intertwined, and those undead soldiers who had just been frozen were attacked by scorching flames, their rotten bodies were completely shattered like charcoal, and the shock wave of the explosion shook the surrounding undead troops, and between the three of them and the royal city of Lordaeron, a narrow life passage suddenly appeared.

Gianna and Ronin were waiting for this moment.

Covering the exhausted Ares, the three of them tried their best to retreat. Griffons hovered in the sky, and above the walls, elven archers and dwarven musketeers fought to kill the army of undead who surrounded Ares and Gianna.

Dalaran's mages also cast spells with all their might, and scorching meteorites rained down from the sky, smashing away the undead army that stood in the way of Ares and Gianna. Flames rose into the sky, scorched earth and flesh churned, and the gates of Lordaeron's royal city loomed in the light of fire and smoke. Sylvanas and Arator had lowered their ropes, ready to pull Ares into the city.

However, just as Ares had already grasped the rope with one hand, a heavy chain sound sounded from behind, and even Gianna and Ronin didn't have time to react, the chain of abomination hooked Ares's shoulder, and a piercing pain came, and Ares, who had already grabbed the rope, was forcibly pulled back...... The hook pierced through the armor and into the flesh, piercing almost the entire shoulder. In an instant, Ares screamed and was pulled into the air. Gianna watched this scene in horror, and Luo Ning took the lead, and a burst of flame burst shot through the three zombies and then accurately hit the abomination arm, knocking one of its hands directly down.

Then, Sylvanas, who could not bear it anymore, went into battle herself, braving the rain of arrows in the sky, the Windranger grabbed the high rope and jumped directly from the walls of Lordaeron, the wind ruffled her long hair, and this height jumped down, which was a death for normal people. Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the ranger general of Quel'Thalas.

In the midst of the rapid fall, Sylvanas clung to the cable, knowing that it was long enough for her to land safely.

Under his feet is like a blue ocean of undead army, overhead is an endless dark night sky, let the fire flash by his side, the windrunner Sylvanas has a firm gaze, braving the rain of arrows of the skeleton archers, Sylvanas stepped on the heads of two cataclysmic soldiers and landed, in order to slow down the impact of the landing, deliberately made two forward rolls after landing, at the same time, several feathered arrows shot out from the fingertips of the ranger general, piercing the three zombies around, then pulled out the elven short sword, all the way forward to kill.

Where Gianna and Ronin couldn't reach, Sylvanas rolled and picked up the ashes bringer that had fallen to the ground, and at the same time, the power of the sunwell hidden in Ares's body exploded, and all the undead who surrounded him were blown away by the power of the light and the magic of the sunwell. Sylvanas, on the other hand, took advantage of this rare opportunity to rush to Ares, carry Ares, and begin to retreat.

At a height invisible to the naked eye, the snow eagle swooped down with a scream.

As another wave of undead surrounded him, the Snow Eagle overturned the hundreds of undead soldiers around Ares and Sylvanas like a white meteor...... She was like a proud knight, a loyal comrade-in-arms, guarding her lifelong companion, Ares. Mogrian.
