Chapter 26: The Rise of the Lich King (for the Alliance Leader, Light Dream Dance Flower Shadow, Plus 1/5)
Hammer of Doom.
Tens of thousands of years ago, it was a magnificent city, and its name was Erezaras.
Under the direction of Queen Aishara, the upper elves used to study magic, discuss academics, and guard the classics here, and it was extremely prosperous for a time, and its position in the ancient elf empire was also extremely important.
However, nothing can resist the power of time.
Today, after tens of thousands of years, most of the buildings here are ruined and desolate, and most of the upper elves who once settled here have disappeared, replaced by the creatures of the surrounding jungle and the ogres, who have taken most of the crumbling elven city for themselves.
For example, the gladiator tournament that will be held at the Hammer of Doom during this time is held by the ogre clan who occupy the Hammer of Doom.
Fierce and powerful, ogres loved this bloody and savage arena fight during Draenor's time, and they brought it from Draenor to Azeroth during the Orc Wars, where it flourished.
To this day, participating in or watching gladiatorial battles has become a popular pastime in Azeroth for many races, such as Gakison, Darkhearth, Orgrimmar...... Arenas have also been established in many other cities, but the biggest impact is the Hammer of Doom for the time being, and a large number of spectators come to watch and gamble when gladiator tournaments are held every year.
Claudia felt this when she arrived at the Gavel of Doom with Milmenio, and the spectators and gladiators gathered in the vicinity were numerous, numbering in the thousands.
With so many people, Claudia couldn't find out the whereabouts of the 'wild man' in Thranzilana's mouth, so she sent Milmer to help her find out the news, and by the way, this was also a workout for Milmer, after all, he was too shy.
It's also a little strange to say, Claudia's law into Milmer is obviously negative emotions, but his usual personality has nothing to do with evil energy, shy, doesn't like to talk, and is easily shy.
As for the appearance, although he is quite domineering in dragon form, he is in human form as a beautiful human boy with black hair and black eyes, milky white skin, slender body, and beautiful facial features, plus his shy character, he is not so much a teenager as he is more like a short-haired flat-chested girl who has not yet developed.
"It's weird, could it be that something went wrong when I made him?"
Claudia pondered, but the dragon form of Kseraki had never been created by other ancient gods before, so she wasn't sure about it.
As he was thinking about it, Milmer had returned, his snow-white face flushed, and besides, he didn't come back alone, he also brought a well-styled Night Elf male with a beautiful costume, but judging by the magic fluctuations on this Cadore, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him an upper elf.
At this moment, most of the eyes of this Cadore were focused on Milmer, and there was unconcealed eagerness in his gaze, which made the latter even more ashamed.
"Mother...... Mother," Milmer's words had just begun, and in Claudia's whisper, he remembered the identity he should play, and quickly changed his words: "Ma'am, this Mr. Baihar ...... himself Claiming to know what we're looking for...... Where is it. ”
Although there is not much difference in appearance from Cadoré, but unlike Claudia's acquaintance with Cadore, Baihar is a rather elegant male upper-class elf, after listening to Milmer's words, Baihar bowed slightly to Claudia and said politely:
"Beautiful lady, the contemptible person is Baihar, the former librarian of Eresaras, I also know a little about the gladiator you are looking for, do you need me to serve you?"
"In that case, I'm sorry for you."
Claudia had no reason to refuse the elf's help, and soon after, she followed Milmer with Baihar to the headquarters of Raegar the Hammer of Doom.
According to Baihar, the reason why he noticed the 'Wildlings' was because the gladiator ranks of the pure Alliance race were rare in the Gavel of Doom.
"It seems that not only gladiators, but also the alliance audience here in the hammer of doom is very small." Claudia noticed one thing, the audience here is mostly greenskinned goblins, orcs, minotaurs, trolls, ogres and other races, and there is almost no alliance race.
"Yes," Baihar nodded, "because the Alliance is at war, there must be very few people here, and to be honest, I was quite surprised when I first saw you two. ”
"The alliance is at war?" Claudia's attention was immediately drawn to the other party's words.
"Why, don't you know?" Baihar looked at Claudia in surprise, "The Lich King has regained his strength, the alliance has been fully mobilized in the past two months, and I heard that the Eastern Kingdom has fought a very fierce battle with the Scourge Legion. ”
After Claudia used an excuse to cover up her past, she soon learned more details from Baihar's mouth.
During the five years that the Lich King was silent, no one knew what happened to the Lich King, but it was a fact that he had not been seen for so long that many people believed that the Lich King was dead.
But a month ago, the Lich King gave a resounding slap in the face to many people with his actions, and the three floating fortresses of Blackblade Fortress, Naxar, and Naxxramas appeared on the Quel'Salas subcontinent at the same time, and along with the high-level undead in the floating fortress, there were also a large number of mid- and low-level undead who crossed the sea.
In Arthas's opinion, Quel'Thalas had suffered a heavy blow five years ago, and he should not be able to recover in just five years, so he slashed the elves with his first sword back to the mainland.
In the face of the Scourge Legion's surprise attack, the civilians of Quel'Salas did suffer heavy losses at first, but when Prince Kael'thas reacted, Arthas's attack did not go so smoothly.
After Kael'thas took power, Kael'thas reformed the system of the Quedore clan, no longer implementing the high welfare system of the whole people in the past, and magical items such as the fruit of Akandol could only be enjoyed by contributors such as soldiers, so in just five years, New Silver Moon City has restored an army that is not inferior to the past.
Coupled with the Quedore clan's bitter hatred for the Scourge Legion, in the attack and defense of New Silver Moon City, the elves resisted extremely resolutely, treating death as home, and never giving up every inch of the city wall without an order, so that although the Scourge Legion had an absolute advantage, it was unable to achieve decisive results.
Seeing that the reinforcements of the Lordaeron Kingdom, which was closest to Silvermoon City, were approaching, and the new Silvermoon City was unable to take it for a long time, Arthas simply changed his tactics, and he ordered the middle and low-level undead to move freely to plague the elven villages, while the high-level undead scattered and attacked with the movement advantage of the floating fortress, specifically attacking the small towns and settlements of the northern countries of the alliance.
For a while, the wolf smoke was everywhere, many towns of Quel'Thalon and Lordaeron were breached, and Lordaeron and Lordaeron, who had just recovered some of their national strength, also fell into chaos again under this blow.
