Chapter Seventy-Four: The Retreat to the Black Sea

In front of the portal like a black vortex, Manolos bent down, kneeling down on his stout forelimbs, tucking his fat wings behind him. The fanged demon shrunk his body as small as he could, as now he was talking to Sargeras, who was in a bad mood.

"The space-time tunnel didn't open for me...... It's worse than I expected....... Sargeras's voice was majestic.

"We did our best," Manolos said cautiously, "but it turned out ...... The world doesn't seem to welcome you very much, my lord. ”

"I'll come here......" Sargeras said in a long echo. The tunnel of time and space that exuded evil aura began to tremble, wriggling like a living being. Manolos could sense Sargeras's strong desire to travel through time and space to this prosperous world, and the disappointment that arose from not being able to do so made him shiver even in cold blood.

"Certainly—yes, my lord." Manolos hurriedly chimed in.

The mid-level and high-ranking members of the Night Elf military tent near the Falling Star Lake in Ashenvale were still discussing Crassus's proposal.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with uniting with other races, in terms of troops, we still have 200,000 soldiers, and we can completely fight the demon army. None of this is the main problem. The important thing is that we are lacking high-end forces now, and none of us are opponents of Akmund. I've contacted Cenarius and the demigods can't unite to help us, and there's no news from the dragons. Moon Shadow frowned and said something that shocked everyone.

"Chief, are you telling the truth?" Rafincrest's face couldn't help but look bad. Moon Shadow nodded.

"I don't think this news should be spread, the last retreat has already affected morale a lot." The lord who had begun to speak to Moon Shadow paused before saying. Everyone else fell silent. They knew that the Moon Shadow as the leader had no reason to lie to them, and that losing the help of the demigods would be a big shock to the elves.

"If the Empress is here, there must be a way." One of the lords muttered.

"Yes, the mighty Empress will surely be able to defeat those demons." Stareye chimed in.

"It's a pity that now the mentor is in danger, and we can only think of other ways." Moon Shadow frowned as she listened to the annoyance of a few people. Indeed, Azhara was the most powerful magician in the history of Kadore, and was loved by the people. Moon Shadow was confident that she would eventually reach her heights, but he was still young now. Soon the meeting broke up, and there were no more objections to the retreat of the troops.

Waiting for the other high-level to withdraw from the big tent, Moon Shadow couldn't help frowning and fell silent. By now, he was feeling a little exhausted, and the feeling of powerlessness in the face of Akmund and Manolos was deeply troubled by it. Although on the surface he has been comforting others not to give up hope, he himself has been asking himself in his heart, "Can we win?" He couldn't give a definite answer.

The warriors of the Burning Legion are ruthless in their battles, but there is one advantage of the Night Elves: they are much more familiar with the land than demons. The area around the Ash Valley is a rolling mountain range, dotted with several rivers, and once covered by large forests, but now it is either burned by fire or torn by sharp claws. The stumps of many dead trees and destroyed buildings dot the ground, which can be used not only as road signs, but also as shelter. Coupled with the help of the Dryad Sisters, the demon suffered a lot.

After two months of fighting and retreating, he was still forced to Moon Studios, and many elves came to Moon Studios for the first time. But I was still shocked to see the walls of Moon Shadow City, which were more than fifty meters high and five or six kilometers long, and most of the elven cities did not have city walls. Even the capital city of Aisaline is only less than twenty meters high, and its defense power is not comparable to that of Moon Shadow City. This giant city, which took thousands of years to build, cost a lot of effort from Moonshadow and the people of the Black Sea. Although it is not as powerful as the capital city of Aisaline, the majesty of the city still amazes everyone who comes.

The giant statue standing more than 50 meters high stands majestically around the city gate, and the elves naturally know the two elves represented by the statues. Knowing that Moon Shadow was back, a crowd gathered at the gate to greet him. Not just to welcome him and some other Elven Lords, of course, but also to their families on their expedition. Moon Shadow took 30,000 Black Coast soldiers with him on his expedition, but nearly a third of the elves could not return to their homeland, a familiar land where they had lived for nearly a thousand years. Moon Shadow hadn't looked at the people of the realm since he entered the city, all the way to his castle, and he arranged for the garrison of the army and other elven high-level people, not that he didn't want to look at them, but he didn't dare to look at them. He can imagine the feelings of those family members when they know that their relatives have died in battle, maybe they will pretend to be strong in front of people and say something, they are dying for the elves, and they will die a glorious or something, but they will still hug their heads and cry when no one is around!!

The sky gradually darkened, he walked slowly to the stargazing platform alone, looking at the Moon Shadow City, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if something was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't help but want to shout. Unleash everything that was blocked in his chest, but he couldn't shout, he was the leader of the Lords Resistance of Moonshadow. At this time he had to be strong, and all his people were watching him.

Lisa walked slowly to the stargazing platform with a steaming cup of coffee as usual, and Angel followed her. Moon Shadow gently took the coffee and looked at Moon Shadow quietly, but he didn't take a sip until the coffee gradually cooled. Lisa and Angel also stood quietly behind him and stayed with him, speaking of which, the two maids, along with Rocky and Rocktoe, were the people who had been with him the longest in the world. From a girl to an adult, they have witnessed the Moon Shadows from a small city with a population of only a few thousand to a giant city with hundreds of thousands now. And a lot of it is due to them.

Moon Shadow picked up the coffee that had cooled down and took a sip of it, frowning, for the first time he felt that the coffee was a little bitter and didn't seem to be delicious.

"I'll help you make a new cup, the coffee is already cold." Lisa asked when she saw Moon Shadow's expression.

Moon Shadow put down her coffee cup and shook her head to indicate no, Moon Shadow City is not impregnable, and there are still many things to do. All the troops were stationed in the outer city in order to quickly respond to the surprise attack of the demon army. At this time, the defensive barrier of Moon Shadow City should be opened, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the original mage of Moon Shadow City. But fortunately, the Moon Guards also came with them, and a few hundred Moon Guards should be able to ensure that the barrier of Moon Shadow City is working. By activating the enchantment, you can avoid the Burning Legion's air power attacking the city, and the elves in this realm have no way to compete with each other.

Moon Shadow was thinking about it when one of the guards came up and said that Crassus and Ronin wanted to see him. Moon Shadow pondered for a moment and wondered what they were trying to do at this point, but she still ordered the guards to bring the two to the parlor.

"The city of lords is truly majestic, and there are few cities I have ever seen that are more than this one." Crassus said lightly.

"Thank you for the compliment, I don't think you came to me to marvel at the city, did you?" Moon Shadow doesn't like to go around and get straight to the point.

Crassus nodded, and continued, "You should have guessed my identity, right?" ”

"I'm not sure, but I don't think ordinary people can ride on the back of a dragon, especially an adult dragon." Moon Shadow said lightly, dragons are epic creatures. As an epic creature, the dragon clan, even a fledgling dragon that has just come out of the shell, is a Tier 6 elite. In particular, the five guardian dragons can be said to be legendary creatures. He had long doubted this, after all, the red dragon had always looked at him with an equal and respectful look. The only thing that can make the dragon respect is the same dragon as him, and nothing else can get that kind of honor.

"I've taken your word into account, and if I want to win this war, the dragons must join the fight." Crassus said after frowning.

"Are you going to ask the dragons for help? But I listened to Cenarius say that the dragons seemed to be preparing something, and seemed willing to join the fight. Moon Shadow frowned and shook her head, saying slowly. He knew that Cenarius and the Green Dragon Queen had an unusual relationship, and the news he got should be true.

"I have my way...... However, it takes the help of a fast-moving mount to get there. The Nightblade Panther is no longer up to the task, and I need a flying animal. Crassus didn't elaborate on what the solution was.

"Like a dragon?" Luo Ning said a little sarcastically.

"As for flying mounts, the Black Coast has domesticated a few horned eagles. But are you sure you can really get your people to help? Moon Shadow asked, frowning.

"I'm sixty percent sure, after all, the invasion of the Burning Legion is no longer just a matter of the Night Elves, if Sargeras is allowed to enter Azeroth. Then the whole world will be destroyed. After the eggs are laid under the nest, the dragons must be able to shoot. Crassus explained in the affirmative.

"Do you really feel the need to do this?" Ronin asked.

"I went for two reasons, Ronin. The first one we have already discussed, dragons are capable of turning the tide; The second reason was that I had a personal business to do: I wanted to find out why I didn't feel a response from the other dragons. You know, this silence doesn't make sense. I'm going to find out. ”

"When are you leaving? Is there anything else I can help with? Moon Shadow asked, he didn't know about dragons. The only dragons I've ever seen are the red dragon and the emerald green dragon and the bronze dragon king Nozdorm.

"We have to go as soon as possible. I don't think you should have time to wait too long. Calassus frowned and said solemnly. I asked for a collection and a recommendation, thank you
