Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Ambush Drags On
The midnight moonlight was cold and bright, and the ranks of civilians were moving in an orderly manner. Moon Shadow organizes his troops and prepares to leave Sulama, he firmly believes that the best defense is to attack, and staying in Sulama without walls is undoubtedly looking for death. There is a canyon on the way from Aisaline to Sulama, and if it is used well, it can smoothly allow the civilians to move with plenty of time.
"Are you sure?" Illidan couldn't help but ask, he, Tyrande, and some of the priestesses of the temple had stayed behind to help Moon Shadow drag the demon.
"I'm still somewhat sure if I can make good use of the canyon." Moon Shadow's eyebrows furrowed slightly, although he thought so, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, who could say what would happen.
"Counting the time, we have to get to the canyon in five minutes, and it will take some time to set up. Somewhat urgent. Tyrande shook his head.
"So we have to hurry." Malfurion nodded.
"I didn't expect a few of us to fight side by side, it makes people's blood boil when they think about it, watch me wipe out those demonic scum." Illidan clenched his fists, a smile on his lips.
"Well, let's take care of these guests who have come from afar." A smile appeared on the corner of Moon Shadow's mouth. Several people smiled and nodded, temporarily diluting the tension of the coming war.
"Alright, in order to give the civilians time to move, we will stay and hold off the enemy for a while, do you have confidence?" Moon Shadow asked loudly as she turned to look at the neat Black Coast Army.
"Yes..."
Everyone shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
"Very good, you are all the elites I brought out from the Black Sea, the pride of Moon Studios. Fighting demons is very dangerous, and I think everyone experienced it in the last battle. I hope that all of you will live to return to the Black Coast with me and with glory. Moon Shadow narrowed her eyes and said loudly. Coupled with the magic amplification effect, every word can be clearly heard in the ears of every soldier. Who wouldn't want to return home with glory?
"For the glory of the Black Sea!!"
"For the !! of Moontheater"
"Slay the Demon !!"
The voices of the soldiers resounded in the sky, and at the words of Moon Shadow, the soldiers' blood boiled and their morale was high. Even the priestess of the temple who stayed behind to help felt a little burning, and her face was black with excitement.
"Alright, let's go." Moon Shadow gave the order, and the soldiers marched neatly towards the canyon, all of them in high spirits.
The canyon is less than five kilometers long, but it is hundreds of meters high, and the rock walls on both sides are smooth and impossible to climb. It was a necessary way to get from Aisaline to Sulama, and it was impossible to make effective fortifications in a short period of time. Moon Shadow hid the archers on the cliffs on either side, and the warriors collected a large number of large stone blocks. When the demon reaches the canyon, he will first blow up the passage with magic, and then the soldiers will start attacking. This was the best strategy he could think of, and the elves were at an absolute disadvantage when they entered the battle.
The wait was the most painful, and ten minutes of waiting for Moon Shadow felt longer than it had been nearly a thousand years since he had passed. Finally, the demonic army entered the canyon, and the powerful spiritual power of the Grand Magister could make him feel every detail clearly. Moon Shadow's eyes narrowed slightly, this time the demon team was very unusual, different kinds of demons were neatly formed, like a trained army. Led by a demon he never stopped, this demon was tall and strong like a dragon. His face like a toad looked hideous and terrifying, and his long thick tail like a crocodile's tail carried him to the ground, and the demons around him were in awe of him. He could clearly feel the power and terror of this demon, and there was a powerful magic in him that made him feel terrified. The Doomsday Guards hovering in the air are constantly urging the troops forward.
This demon is Manolos, the Abyss Lord Saboteur, who is tasked with clearing all obstacles to the arrival of Sargeras, including the ancient demigods and the rebellious elves of Surama. To him, all of this was just a mere amusement of boredom, and he didn't think anything could threaten him in Azeroth, and the ancient demigods were a joke to him. Of course, there was one person except for Aisarin's Essara, who felt a chill every time he saw this female elf, but fortunately she was already a puppet of Sargeras.
Manolos couldn't help but smile, and by the way, he shook the flesh wings behind him, and the demon next to him couldn't help but distance himself from him when he saw his expression, this adult is happy to kill people, and if he is unhappy, he will kill people, they don't want to be that unlucky ghost. He likes to destroy all good beings, which is where his name Saboteur comes from, and the Abyssal Underworld is a wonderful place full of endless fighting and violence.
"Stop" Manolos suddenly looked at the sides of the cliff, the top of the cliff had a large amount of Night Elf breath, and in addition to the rock walls on both sides of the cliff, the breath of magic could be felt. Manolos gave the order and the advancing demon forces immediately stopped.
"It's not !! good" Moon Shadow's brows furrowed slightly, he knew that the demon in the lead had noticed something unusual, and he was busy chanting spells.
"Boom"
The cliffs on both sides began to explode, and large stones fell from the rock walls on both sides, forming a stone wall of 100 meters. He left an explosive magic array on the cliff wall in advance, originally planning to wait for the demons to enter the explosion area before detonating the magic array, and the falling mountain rock can also be used as a weapon. It's a pity that there is no way to implement it, so I can only block the path of the demon first, and buy time for the evacuated civilians.
"Damn reptiles!" Manolos looked up at the cliff and snorted.
"Shoot the Arrow"
Moon Shadow let out a loud shout, and the arrows of the elven archers on both sides of the cliffs flew like raindrops towards the demon army, and Illidan also chanted a spell and smashed the demons like small moon-like balls of light. Malfurion's hands were slightly open, and the whirlwind rolled up the loose stones on the surrounding cliff walls and smashed them down, but the lethality was a little stronger than Illidan's "Moonfire Technique", and the demonic army was suddenly in chaos. Ronin closed his eyes and the "blizzard" blew the entire canyon, the most ingenious was the cooperation of Crassus and the red dragon, the red dragon spewed out a fiery dragon's breath, Crassus converted the dragon's breath into a flamestorm The demon was immediately killed and injured, and the demon's army became even more chaotic.
"Don't mess around, the Doom Guard will go up and deal with those bugs for me." Manolos stomped to death a demon guard fleeing in a panic and shouted. He had a bit of a wing, but it was more of an ornament. After all, looking at the proportions of his body and wings, you can know that those little wings can't make him fly.
The Doom Guardian also wanted to get close to the elves, but the narrow passage simply prevented them from spreading their speed. Moreover, the elves of the Black Coast have gained some experience from the last battle with the demons, and the angles of the arrows are very tricky, and they specialize in attacking weak parts. Soon shoots the Doom Guard, who hasn't flown much yet, into a sieve.
"Waste !!" Manolos yelled at the Doom Guard as he was shot to the ground, and then his eyes narrowed slightly at Crassus and the Red Dragon, who were the biggest threat to his army. He lifted his javelin-like weapon, aimed at the red dragon, and threw it directly at the young red dragon. Moon Shadow saw Manolos' movements, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he decisively used "Flash" to move towards Crassus, and the javelin shot at Crassus and the Red Dragon like a comet hitting the Earth. The red dragon and Crassus also spotted the flying javelin, but the dragon's size was too large to dodge, and this throw was enough to pierce him through the heart.
"Teacher." Luo Ning couldn't help shouting, but unfortunately it was too late.
The purple mask quickly covered Crassus and the red dragon, and Manolos' weapon was pierced on the purple mask, and the purple mask quickly began to deform, and the light began to become unstable. Moon Shadow's face turned pale, and a hint of Yin Hong flowed from the corner of her mouth. Ninety percent of the energy in the "Lake of Mana" was squeezed out at once.
"Moon Shadow."
"Your Lord!!"
Everyone exclaimed, Moon Shadow's eyes froze, the blow was still blocked by him, and he took advantage of the momentum to draw Manolos's weapon into the cliff wall next to him. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Tyrande hurriedly put down his bow and arrows and rushed forward to heal Moon Shadow.
"Keep an eye on the devil and don't let up!" Moon Shadow spat out another mouthful of blood as he spoke, the bright red blood staining his shining silver armor.
"Cut! Good luck, little crawler. Manolos snorted disdainfully to the side.
"Thank you." Crassus gasped.
"Thank you so much. Elven Lord. The red dragon said sincerely.
"We are comrades-in-arms now, you are here to protect our elves, how can I watch you get hurt." Moon Shadow smiled and shook her head, turning her head to look at the javelin stuck in the rock wall, the weapon still burning with green evil flames. He had heard Yue Yin say that this flame was a demonic power created by Sargeras. But it wasn't the flame that he was paying attention to, but the material of the weapon itself, a red, metallic, blood-like color, with a faint blood-colored flame burning on it. If memory serves, this metal is probably one of the four metals used by the Titans to make artifacts, the Burning Sky Demon Iron.
"You're a different kind of elf, and I think we'll be friends." The red dragon let out a hearty laugh, and Crassus fell silent.
"That's a great honor." Moon Shadow smiled as well, and countless mysterious runes appeared in his eyes, and Manolos's weapon suddenly disappeared into thin air.
"Boss, you're really as greedy as ever!!" Yue Yin's speechless voice came from Moon Shadow's head.
"Don't you think that's funny? He made it clear that he wanted to give me this weapon, so I naturally took it. I think he must be looking good right now. A small smile tugged at the corner of Moon Shadow's mouth. As he spoke, he turned to look at Manolos.
