Chapter 288: The War Ends
Quelzaram was forged by the Pantheon to fight against Sargeras, but it was left behind in Azeroth after it was completed, and by chance it was held by Lothar.
However, the sword possessed a fatal weakness - it could not deal with people of high character. When the bearer uses him against a noble person, he loses his divine powers.
As a result, Quelzaram was broken by Orgrim.
As a paladin, Tulayan picked up the sword, and immediately the sword received another power: Holy Light and Guardian.
The soul-renewing Quelzaram is even more powerful than the original, enough to shake the heavens and the earth, and Tulayan defeats the exhausted Hammer of Doom.
However, in the final moments, Tulayan did not kill Orgrim out of anger, he captured the orc leader and announced that he would sanction him at the Alliance's victorious meeting.
After that, Turayan, who was the lieutenant of Lothar, took over the command of the alliance as a matter of course and launched a complete attack on the Horde.
After Orgrim was captured, the powerful tribe split.
After conquering the Burning Plains, the Alliance troops split up and marched into Elwyn Forest and Red Ridge Mountain at the same time.
Kael'thas and his elves, along with most of the human soldiers, traveled to the Elwyn Forest, the site of Stormwind.
Alwyn is an extremely rich land with dense forests, and it was once the most prosperous area of the Stormwind Kingdom, and even after the baptism of war, it still maintains a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
But Kael'thas and the others didn't have time to enjoy the scenery, so they hurried forward and came to the gates of Stormwind.
"I didn't expect the orcs to repair these walls."
At Kael'thas's side, the human mage Khadgar, the commander of this force, looked up at the intact walls and sighed.
He had spent some time in Stormwind with Lothar and had seen it fall, so it was inevitable that he would be a little surprised to see what he was looking at.
"Do you need to be careful when attacking at that moment?"
Kael'thas asked the mage if he was here as Khadgar's lieutenant.
Tulayan traveled to the Barrens with more warriors, and now Kael'thas and Kael'thas were in charge of retaking Stormwind.
"No, please do it."
Khadgar shook his head, then replied to Kael'thas.
They have come here to retake Stormwind, and time is also very short, and they can only use the most violent attacks to gain speed.
That's why the High Elves' forces are here.
"Okay."
Kael'thas turned, giving instructions behind him.
Sylvanas saw his gesture and immediately led the elves to the front, facing the walls of Stormwind.
"Ruined it."
Kael'thas looked at the distance and ordered.
He summoned Hellfire and the Phoenix to interfere with the orcs' response, then waited.
After entering the legend, Kael'thas Hellfire and Phoenix are also legendary, and the two of them can withstand the fire of the orcs on the city walls.
Red clouds of flame gradually formed in the sky, and then soon, meteorites began to fall from the tumbling clouds.
The magic of war - the meteorite smashed on the city wall with a huge explosion and sound, as if the end of the world was called, and the city wall began to burn.
A red hell is taking shape
This was the most powerful magic the elves had ever shown in this war, and even the soldiers of the Alliance couldn't help but look terrified.
【】
Kael'thas glanced at Sylvanas in surprise.
No doubt he hadn't seen the magic either, so he certainly had something to do with Sylvanas.
This spell either requires a lot of formalities or it's a completely new spell.
The walls of Stormwind City collapsed like crispy skin, and in just ten minutes, an opening appeared in front of the Alliance, which was tens of meters wide.
"Now it's your business."
Kael'thas told the elf to stop casting spells, then said to Khadgar.
"Hmm."
Khadgar nodded and gave the command, and the human soldiers entered Stormwind side by side.
These soldiers, hundreds of meters long, can quickly wipe out every remaining orc in Stormwind like locusts, and Kael'thas watched as Khadgar walked in with the last team, but he didn't move.
"Your Highness, won't you go in?"
With a cold glint in her eyes, Sylvanas came over to ask Kael'thas.
"Nope."
Kael'thas looked at the broken walls and said coldly:
"I have no interest in slaughter."
He didn't have to go, he could guess what was going on inside, and naturally he wouldn't go in and make himself sick to his stomach.
The High Elves waited at the gates of the city, and they slew hordes of orcs fleeing from Stormwind, and in a few hours Khadgar came out.
Many of the Union soldiers who followed him were dragging wooden carts full of food, and it seemed that they had plundered enough food.
"According to the plan, I left one-fifth of my soldiers to defend and clean up Stormwind, and the rest moved on."
Khadgar came out and said this to Kael'thas.
They stepped on their feet again, leaving the Elwyn Forest and heading towards the Twilight Forest.
After spending half a day to deal with the enemies in the Twilight Forest, the team took advantage of the night to cross the upwind trail and arrived in the Cursed Land in the early hours of the next morning.
The Cursed Lands is home to the Alliance's final target, the Dark Gate, a beautiful and rich region that has been distorted by the magic leaked by the Dark Gate, leaving only a barren desert landscape.
"The Dark Gate is the portal to the orc's homeland."
"Destroy that, and this war will be over, right?"
Kael'thas asked Khadgar.
The course of history came to an end with the destruction of the Dark Gate, but there were still areas further south that were under the control of the orcs, which made Kael'thas sure.
"Hmm."
Khadgar gave him an affirmative reply:
"Destroy the Dark Gate, and this war will end."
Turning his gaze to lands further south, he added:
"There aren't many orcs in the land below, and our human strength is more than enough."
This relieved Kael'thas a little, and it seemed that the elves would soon be able to leave the war.
In this war, Kael'thas's defense did not hurt Quel'Salas from the original history, and Aurelia's family did not have an accident.
A very good start - for the future.
However, the orc defenses of the Cursed Lands were significantly stronger than the previous two areas, and after no success, Kael'thas captured an area as a stronghold and waited for the arrival of the Alliance's forces led by Tulayan.
After all, the orcs they faced were even more powerful, and the wait was three days.
Three days later, Kael'thas and the others spotted a large number of orcs entering the Cursed Lands, with the Alliance's large forces following them.
After they converged.
"Attack in the afternoon."
Tulayan proclaimed directly.
Without any extra preparations, they began to surround the orcs with all their might, and then attacked.
The orcs gathered their strength and seemed to want to resist.
But in the ensuing battle, it was clear that the orcs were powerless to resist, and they began to retreat, and then, without knowing who gave the order, the orcs began to retreat.
The dense remnants left this world through the Dark Gate.
In order to protect the departure of these compatriots, the rest of the orcs fought more and more bravely.
Sensing this desperate act of battle, Tulayan stopped the League's offensive.
"Let them retreat."
He made a decision that no one resisted.
After another two days, most of the orcs had already left the place, and Tulayan launched a counterattack.
This human paladin took the lead with a broken sword, and no one could resist the formidable power.
The Alliance triumphed all the way to the Dark Gate.
This legendary portal, which seems to be occupied by a green vortex, is somewhat like the gate of a temple, and looks solemn with a hint of mystery.
It was so huge, so huge that tens of thousands of people standing at its feet could only look up at it.
After completely clearing the remnants of the orcs, Tulayan ordered the destruction of the Dark Gate.
But what is shocking is that this portal that looks like an ordinary megalithic building remains intact in the face of all attacks.
Whether it was the charge of the human troops, the bombs of the gnomes, the magic of the High Elves, or even the attacks of several powerful professionals, they were all withstood by the Dark Gate as if nothing happened.
The green in the middle of it is like a whirlpool of stars, as if it has turned into a smiling face mocking everyone.
"What kind of material is this?"
Some dwarves and gnomes wanted to study the material of the gate, but Tulayan was furious and said:
"I don't care what it's made of, I just want to know how to destroy it!"
His anger was finally resolved.
Khadgar, a disciple of Medivan, the human guardian who built the Dark Gate, has finally found a way to close the Dark Gate after careful research.
Yes, the method of closing.
Tulayan wasn't reluctant at first, but Khadgar explained:
"The opening of the Dark Door requires a great deal of power, it is almost impossible for anyone to grasp, and it is difficult to open it again when it is closed."
He said this to Tulayan, and then gathered the strength of several strong ** divisions, and the dark door was successfully closed.
From the moment the green vortex dimmed, this orc war, which lasted for a year and seven months and spread to several races, came to an end
[I can go home.] 】
Amid the roar of cheers, Kael'thas turned to look at his elves and smiled.
He delivered on his promise.
These elves can return to Quel'Salas with pride and glory in their hearts.
The names of those who have passed away will be remembered and engraved on their Heroic Thrones.
Most importantly
Humanity will never again have a reason to resent the High Elves.
Elves don't owe humans anything
