Chapter 69: The Arrival of the Great Army
Inspired by Moon Shadow and filled with the belief of victory, the Night Elves walked a long way on the first night. It's a three-day journey from Crow's Castle to Asarine, and there's no rush. As soon as it was dark, they set up camp and set up a cordon on the front line to prevent the demons from launching a surprise attack. This is to allow the Night Elves to fully adapt to fighting during the day before reaching Aisaline.
The land here has not yet tasted the horrors of the Burning Legion. The forests to the south are still lush, while the tall green mountains to the north decorate the land. The elves sent patrols to reconnoiter the enemy in all directions, but found nothing. Slowly leaning in, things began to deteriorate for Essarine, the forest was largely destroyed, and the stench emanated from the land. It's a little scary to watch. Countless tall, ancient trees were polluted, twisted, and deformed by evil energy. And a small number of demons began to appear, and they were quickly wiped out under the trampling of the army. In addition to the soldiers of the Black Coast, most of the soldiers in other territories encountered the demons for the first time, and at the beginning, everyone was very casual with the demons, thinking that the 30,000 soldiers of the Black Coast could hold back 100,000 demons, so the strength of the demons must be average. As a result, after a few days, everyone saw the power of the demon. The strength of an ordinary demon is equivalent to that of a high-level professional, and only a well-equipped Black Sea soldier can fight with these guys in a single combat ability, and soldiers in other territories generally need two or three soldiers together to kill a demon.
At noon on the fourth day, the army finally reached the border of Esaline, and the army began to build fortifications, which would be a joke if there was no base to attack and defend. When she arrived at Ethalin, Moon Shadow didn't know how she felt in her heart, the city was in ruins, and the air was full of bones, and there was a foul smell in the air. All the elves couldn't help frowning and hating, this former giant city. It's sad that the glory of Azhara, the capital of the elves, has become what it is now.
Moon Shadow sat in the center of the camp in a state of confusion, and before the fortifications were fully built, the demons harassed him twice. However, due to the small size, the elves easily resisted, but this should only be a temptation of the demons. And they're here to attack Esaline, not defend, and this will inevitably affect morale in the long run. However, none of the scouts sent out to scout returned, and Esaline was like a forbidden place.
"Do you have time?" Moon Shadow was annoyed, and Malfurion suddenly broke in, interrupting Moon Shadow's thoughts.
"What's the matter? Go ahead!! What are you polite to me. Moon Shadow rubbed her forehead and said weakly.
"Well, that's right, I felt the call of the teacher in the forest at noon today. Then I quietly found the teacher in the forest, and the teacher wanted to meet you. Malfurion replied.
"Could it be that the teacher's contact with the ancient demigods has succeeded?" Moon Shadow's voice couldn't help but rise, and her face immediately showed joy. If Cenarius' reinforcements had arrived, the battle would have had a better chance of victory. "Take me there." Moon Shadow urges Malfurion, who can't wait to hear the good news.
"This master, you are now the boss, you can't just leave the camp." Rocky and Rocktoe were busy blocking them. There are a large number of demons around Aisaline, and they are afraid that the moon image will have an accident last time.
"Don't worry! It's okay, I'm just going to see Cenarius and there's no danger. If you don't worry, you can come with me. Moon Shadow knew that the two were doing it for her own good, and shook her head before saying.
"This." The two looked at each other and nodded.
The leaves of the forest rustle, and these ancient trees have a soul of their own. They survived the demon attack and are now welcoming them.
"You're finally here!!" Suddenly, a strong wind blew around them. Rocky and Stonetoe pressed their helmets hard, while Malfurion tilted his head back to get a better feel for the stroke, and Moon Shadow looked in the direction the voice came from, a tice of joy in her eyes. The wind grew stronger and more violent, and countless dead leaves were swept into the air. However, Rocky was the only one who looked panicked, and even Frostdew and the other two Nightblade Leopards opened their nostrils to breathe in the crisp air brought by the gust of wind...... Leaves, branches, small rocks, dirt...... More and more things come together and mix together to form some kind of solid.
"Hear Malfurion say you're the leader of the Resistance?" They were approached by the huge figure of Cenarius, who had four deer-legged legs and a belly identical to that of a deer. The upper body has a skin color and shape similar to that of an elf, a cylindrical chest, and two golden eyes staring at the moon shadow. He is purple all over, with occasional green accents; There are claws on his hands, and his fingers are knotty, like dead wood. Cenarius made his thick green hair flutter. The full beard matched the long hair, and the branches and foliage seemed to grow naturally in these hairs, but what was even more surprising was that Cenarius also had two knobby antlers on the top of his head.
"Well, yes, my side has united all the elf tribes, is there any good news on the teacher's side?" Moon Shadow bowed respectfully and looked at Cenarius and asked, he was very concerned about this matter now.
"The other demigods still disagree on how to deal with demons. Yes, we have to fight them, but we are all used to fighting separately, and it is very difficult to work together in harmony because we all feel that our ideas are the best. Cenarius frowned and sighed.
Moon Shadow began to groan, which was not good news. Some time ago, the red dragon had returned to the dragon clan, and now even these guardians of the demigod natural world could not agree on a clear course of action. If the team currently assembled by the Night Elves were to fight against the demons, Moon Shadow knew what would happen, and the best case scenario would be a lose-lose situation, with the demons defeated and the elves suffering heavy casualties. But it is more likely that the elves will be wiped out, and the entire Kalimdor will be destroyed by the Burning Legion.
"What's the news on the Dragons' side? Teacher. "Moonshadow is a little disappointed to be honest, but now that he's the leader of the entire resistance, he'll have to think holistically.
"Dragons seem to be in trouble now, too! I just went to the Emerald Dream Realm to find the Green Dragon Queen, and they won't be able to fight anytime soon. Cenarius shook his head.
Moon Shadow was silent, losing the support of the demigods and dragons in the original plan, and this war was not easy to fight.
"I'm here mainly to train Malfurion and Illidan for a while, if we want to save this world from the demons, I'm afraid we must use our 100% strength......" Cenarius put away his kind expression and said solemnly.
"It's just a teacher, and now the soldiers are pressing. Illidan and I may not have time to listen to you. Malfurion was in a quandary.
"It's okay, we only need a day, and I don't think Moon Shadow will rush to attack Aisaline. Isn't that the Moon Shadow? Cenarius asked, looking at Moon Shadow.
"It's true that I can't attack rashly now, and none of the scouts I sent out to scout have returned. But I also have to act as soon as possible, because we can't afford to delay. Lately, I've felt like Essarine's magic fluctuations have been a little stronger. I'm afraid that something will happen later. Moon Shadow frowned, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the elves were already at a disadvantage. Last time, Manolos was the captain of a demon, and he suffered a lot, and who knows what else is hidden in this Asarine. The loss of two major aids is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
Just as Moon Shadow was groaning, the sound of a loud horn reached his ears. Moon Shadow's face couldn't help but change, and Rocky and Rocktoe's faces didn't look good. "I quit the teacher first." : Moon Shadow said as she turned over and rode onto Frostdew's back, and rushed to the camp. Rocky and Stonetoe saluted Cenarius and immediately mounted their mounts to follow in the footsteps of Moonshadow, which was the sound of the horn of a massive attack, and Moonshadow frowned slightly and hurriedly urged Frostdew to run faster.
The elven army continued to hear the sound of sharp crossbows, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired in unison. Arrows and crossbows blossomed in the demon like screaming banshees, landing on the throat, limbs, and head. Everywhere there were shot dead and wounded demons, and those behind had to slow down and step over them.
A golden ball of light exploded in the middle of the demon army, sending the demon guards staggering, flesh flying, corpse fragments and plasma-like liquid splashing on the living demon. Moon Shadow recognizes this spell, which is the druid's introductory spell "Natural Wrath". In the next few months, the guards lined up, and all kinds of magical energy balls suddenly exploded in the demon crowd.
A gust of wind whistled towards the center of the front row of the demon troops, and the horned demons all collided together, even stabbing their respective weapons into their own chests. The enemy forces were in disarray. Crassus's magic came in handy, and for the first time he used magic without the help of Claiotraz, he didn't know what the results would be, but when he saw the effect, the magician smiled.
This gave the Night Elves an opportunity, and as soon as the first row of fighters collided with the enemy, they were killed. The front ranks of the Burning Legion are in a state of disarray, and the demon guards try to reorganize their ranks, but in vain they are killed in pieces. Moon Shadow rode the frost dew into the demon pile, and Lei Yuan shone with a cold glow. The Moon Shadow sword danced like a farmer harvesting wheat, and a large number of demons fell to the ground.
Another rain of arrows fell, and the demon troops in the back rows also suffered heavy losses. In a matter of minutes, the demons had lost at least a quarter of their dead, wounded, and wounded. It should have been full of confidence at this point, but Moon Shadow still felt that victory in this way seemed too easy, and suddenly he swept his eyes around, and he couldn't help but wonder that these demons seemed to be the lowest level, like the stronger Doom Guard and the elite type demons like Manolos, there seemed to be none.
