Chapter 0090: Huh! What is this again?
The island of Sunchase in the northwest of Quel'Salas has become a gathering place for the undead, and after the army of the undead has leveled Queldanus Island, most of the undead have been driven back by their leader, Arthas, the Death Knight, along the icy bridge from which they had attacked.
If the Ranger's Dragon Eagle Scouts had scouted from above, they would have found that the islands of the Sun-Chasing Island were now all covered with dense undead! They have taken up almost every empty space on the island, whether it is the Tower of the Sun, the shrine of the first High Elf king Darth Rema, or the Fatherin Academy, all of which have been ravaged by the undead and reduced to ruins!
On this once peaceful and peaceful island, even those wild animals, whether they were tree people, lynx, or mana floating dragons, except for a few who escaped to the mountains, almost all of them were killed by the undead! Now, here on the island of the sun, in addition to the undead, there are only some broken eaves left......
Arthas, the Death Knight, is leading a group of high-ranking undead to stand on a small hill, watching and observing the northwest gate of Silvermoon City in the distance.
Above the tall city wall, there were full of High Elves who were busy preparing defense materials, and under the other side's city wall, those open spaces were also covered with large and small potholes and simple horses made of rough wood, and even outside the gate, the magnificent sea-crossing bridge had been blown up by the High Elves themselves!
"Humph! A bunch of stupid long-eared elves! ”
Seeing these measures made by those High Elves to defend themselves against their own attacks, Death Knight Arthas sneered disdainfully! If they elves thought that this alone would be able to defend against the undead army of his Arthas, then they were wrong, and they couldn't be more wrong!
What do those horse rejections and trenches do to the Sea of the Undead? All it takes is for him Alsace to give an order, and in just a few breaths, those skeleton zombies can fill them with their bodies!
As for the bleed-up Elf Bridge, it's even more ridiculous! The reason why he chose to return to the island and prepare to attack Silvermoon City here, instead of directly attacking Silvermoon City from the north, was because he took a fancy to this narrow shallow trench here!
Arthas had already calculated that when he was about to prepare for the attack, he only needed to take out the Frost Sorrow to completely freeze this shallow trench, so as to save the strength of the Frost Sorrow, and he didn't have to worry about the other party's destruction like the Ice Bridge built directly over the sea! And after freezing this small trench, his army of the undead would flood the city in a matter of moments, and where else did he need that broken bridge that they had blown up?
Now, the only thing that is a little troublesome may be that magic defense shield in the other city! However, now this shield is only a minor trouble for him Alsace!
Because, standing behind him now is a large group of high-level necromancers! In addition to the legendary Lich Kel'thugad who had just been resurrected from the Well of the Sun, Arthas ordered the undead to collect all the corpses of the High Elf mages in the second half of the night, and then after Kel'thugad came out, he threw them into the Well of the Sun again, and tossed them until almost dawn!
As a result, the magic power that he Alsace now has in his hands the legendary Lich of Kel'thugad, plus an entire group of former High Elf mages! That's more than 300 high-level elven necromancers!
Although he hated these elves with long ears in his heart, he had to say that after they turned into necromancers, they were still very useful to him Alsace! Although most of them have no knowledge of spells before they were alive and can only be regarded as a group of puppets, their magic power is still strong! Barely a trump card in the hands of his Alsace!
Therefore, the current Arthas has a full grasp of the capture of Silvermoon City! Even if there is a half-body Dharma God in the other city, what can it do? Can she stand up to the bombardment of a legendary lich and more than 300 high-level wizards?
Besides, now the source of their elves' energy, the Well of the Sun, has been completely contaminated by the massive plague thrown into him by Alsace!
At this time, whether the other party can still use the energy of the Well of the Sun is a matter of two words! And how much magical energy is stored in their city? He'd interrogated the Darkan bug before, the High Elves were used to the existence of the Well of the Sun, and Silvermoon City didn't have too many magic crystals or other power gems in stock, and those things were more processed into beautiful jewels by them!
Looking at the High Elves still busy on the city walls in the distance, Arthas began to sneer! So, now, when the other party's energy supply is interrupted and their own reserves are insufficient, how long can their elves hold on to this Silver Moon City? Is it half an hour? Or an hour? Or perhaps, when his army of undead rushes over, it will be directly breached?
I heard that there are still nearly 200,000 long-eared elves in this Silver Moon City, since this is the case, then he can spend some time pacifying the city first, kill all the elves, and then add 200,000 death troops to himself, and then go south to Lordaeron and go to Dalaran, and then it is not too late to find a way to complete the task assigned by the Lich King!
……
On the walls of the northwest gate of Silvermoon City, the last high-ranking general of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the Ranger General Sylvanas? Windranger was here too, frowning at the countless armies of the undead on Sunchase Island in the distance......
By the time it was getting dark, she had received a big circle from the only dragon eagle scout who had broken through the undead aerial blockade from the east: the High Elves on Quell Denus Island were now all gone! King Anastarian would rather die than retreat, and finally led all the members of the Silvermoon City Council to fight to the end, and all of them died heroically!
The Ranger General also knew that some of them could actually use teleportation spells to escape back to Silvermoon City first, whether it was teleportation spells or teleportation rune stones, the king and the nobles of the councilors must not be in short. However, none of them chose to do that......
In the past, Sylvanas, who had been fighting on the front line of the trolls for many years as a ranger general, was very disgusted with the group of parliamentary nobles who would only hide in the city and procrastinate, and they were also disgusted with their hedonistic, extravagant and lascivious life! She used to think that they were just a bunch of bastards who only had fun and couldn't do things!
However, now, for the first time, the Ranger General felt that they were actually worthy of the name of warriors! Look, at the moment of danger, when the claws of the undead came, none of them chose to escape, but faced their responsibilities and regained their honor, they are worthy of the name of the High Elves!
Along with the dragon eagle scout arrived a letter of King Anastarian's final commission, which was short and hastily written, and Sylvanas could imagine how bad the war had been!
In addition to the king's hasty handwriting and signed letter, the letter of appointment that arrived contained only two short paragraphs: Appointment, Sylvanas? The Windranger is the Grand Duke of Silvermoon City, in charge of the military administration of Quel'Salas!
Then, next to the king's signature and seal, Sylvanas saw a small line: Quel'Thalas will never perish, and the High Elves will not perish!
At that time, after reading the letter of appointment, she sighed deeply, and at that moment, Sylvanas felt the burden on her shoulders heavier than ever!
Because she probably understood what King Anastarian meant, and he wanted her, no matter what, to save the fire of the High Elves! In any case, the High Elves must not be allowed to perish! This is a pleading plea from a High Elf king before he dies!
“……”
Sylvanas stared at the dense undead in the distance for a moment, and then looked at the Death Knights who were also watching Silvermoon City on the hill in the distance, and she finally made up her mind.
"Lothima, Silvermoon City will definitely not be able to hold it, you lead a hundred rangers and all the recruits and wounded, now start organizing the citizens to retreat from the south gate of Silvermoon City, remember, bring all the food and other necessities you can bring, and go directly east after going out, and retreat to the bay on the other side of the Tower of Darthrath, now, our Quel'Thalas is the only one left that has not been poisoned by the undead......"
After knowing that Silvermoon City could no longer be defended, Sylvanas finally gave the order for a great retreat, perhaps, starting today, this beautiful Silvermoon City, the magic pearl that the High Elves had existed for thousands of years, would cease to exist.
"Lord Duke......" Lotherma was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Sylvanas raising her hand.
"You still call me a general, after today, Silvermoon City is likely to cease to exist, what's the use of me wanting this Duke of Silvermoon City? Go ahead, remember to collect as many ships as you can, and set up a watchtower at the junction to the Tower of Darthrather, if necessary..., so be it, you're already a Ranger Lord, I'm sure you'll know what to do, we'll be in Silvermoon City, here to give you enough time to delay, you understand? ”
With less than 3,000 troops stationed in Silvermoon City, or with the Well of the Sun polluted and the city's protective shield energy powerless and unusable, she Sylvanas now has no hope of holding the city! Now, she just wants to buy enough time for the High Elves in the Great Retreat, enough time for them to retreat to the Eastern Bay! That's it, that's it!
"General! Let me defend the city! You go and organize the citizens to retreat! "Lotherma also knew that this must be a life-or-death mission, or even ten deaths! Now, it was his turn to do something.
Moreover, he also knew that the Ranger General Sylvanas, she had been fighting the undead with her life since the first line of defense!
From the Elven Gate to Taquiline, and from Taqueline to the Eastern Temple, she had been fighting, and she had been fighting for two days and nights in a row! Even during the half-day and one night she spent returning to Silvermoon City, she was mostly busy with defense, and she didn't have much time to rest at all!
"It's an order! Go ahead! Don't forget to open the armory and distribute weapons and equipment to the retreating citizens! Go now, right away! ”
Now Sylvanas was like an angry bobcat, and just glaring at it made Lotherma tremble, and finally she could only sigh in her heart, turn around with tears, and go to carry out what might be the last order.
……
"Wow! I heard that those stinky undead are about to attack the city? ”
Shortly after Lotherma's departure, Anne made a teleportation spell to the walls of the Northwest Gate. For the elven maid who served her had just woken her up in the room, and had prepared her a final breakfast before leaving. Now that the army of the undead is about to storm the city, the handmaiden will follow the retreating citizens to the bay of the Tower of Darth Visser to the east.
"Annie, you're here." Seeing the teleportation spell lit up next to him, Sylvanas's whole body suddenly tensed, and only after seeing that it was little Annie did he relax again, and then said hello.
"Huh? How can there be so many undead? When she saw the black spirits on the island in the distance, Anne was frightened! That's too much, isn't it? How much does that have to be? Lakh? Or hundreds of thousands?
"Because Queldanus Island has been breached by the undead, their number....I'm afraid it's increased quite a bit."
Sylvanas looked at the zombies in the distance with dull expressions, most of them were original High Elves! Apparently, the Death Knight resurrected the elven defenders on the island of Queldanus after destroying them.....
"It's definitely not going to be able to hold it! Then why don't you run! ”
Anne has now discovered the anomaly in Silvermoon City, as if something is wrong with the source of their energy! With the energy cut off, and under the attack of so many undead who are not afraid of death, no one can hold this city, let alone they only have those two or three thousand defenders!
"We can't retreat yet, we need to buy a little time for the citizens who are retreating. By the way, Annie, can you still cast that fire magic from yesterday? The Ranger General looked at the little girl expectantly, if the other party could still release that kind of earth-destroying spell, maybe they would be able to buy half a day more?
"No more! Spells like that consume mana! Yesterday I was in such a hurry that I wasted at least half of my magic! Now you can release a large area of Rain of Fire at most, and there will be no more! As soon as she heard that the other party still wanted to hit her attention, Anne quickly shook her head and refused!
Just kidding, yesterday's hybrid spell of a massive area of Firestorm and Rain of Fire was mana-draining! That can be said to be the category of forbidden spells, if that kind of spell is thrown into Silvermoon City, maybe this city has been burned to the ground! That's magic that can destroy a city!
Besides, Anne was too eager to cast it at that time, after all, the death knight was watching from the sidelines, and he almost chopped himself alive! In a hurry, where does Anne care about the waves and not wasting them? So much so that now her own mana reserves are less than half of what she was in her heyday, and she will need at least many days of recovery period!
"Well, then, Annie, you can cast a rain of fire for us in a moment, and then you can retreat first." For spells like Rain of Fire, Sylvanas also knew that there was no better way to deal with these dense undead than such large-scale and persistent spells.
"Huh? Yes! But..., on the hill on the other side is the villain on horseback yesterday, right? Anne also noticed the group of undead standing on top of a mountain bag in the distance.
"That's right! That's the Death Knight! ”
"Wow! I've finally caught him! Yesterday he was the one who injured my little bear Tiebs! I can't spare him! As soon as she finished speaking, Anne took out the key to the mage tower that the elves gave her yesterday, and she now wants to give the riding villain a good look under the spell enhancement resonance of the mage tower in Silvermoon City!
Magical Effect: Strengthens Gathering Energy!
A small red magic circle lit up at Annie's feet, and then, with the coordination of the permission key, the mage tower near the northwest gate of Silvermoon City also began to light up together.
Magic Enhancement: Spell Accelerated!!
Another magic circle lit up, and little Annie's entire body seemed to light up, and her action startled the high-ranking mage Filendre who was also accompanying the Ranger General on the northwest gate to observe the enemy's situation! With such strong fluctuations in magic, what exactly does this little girl want to do? What kind of spell is cast?
Magical Status: Calm and Relaxed!!
"Humph! Scoundrels on horseback! Eat Me and Calm Your Mind Extreme Magic: Super Flame Burst! Anne floated suddenly, then opened her eyes, pushed her hands flat, and shouted at the hill in the distance!
As soon as Annie's words fell, a huge scorching fireball instantly erupted on her hands, and with the assistance of the Mage Tower and the blessing of Annie, the demigod, this Breathing Mind Extreme Flame Explosion Technique was almost as big as the Elf's city gate, and it was surprisingly bright! Beneath the red flames outside, it emitted a white glow inside, and it was obvious that the energy and temperature contained inside it were not ordinarily high!
……
"Kel'thugad, how are those long-eared ones sifting?"
Looking at Silvermoon City in the distance, Arthas began to laugh, just now he thought of a good attention, he decided, first to screen out those elven undead, and then, let them take the lead in attacking the city, let them have long ears and long ears to fight each other!
"Your Majesty the King of Alsace, the number of sixty or seventy thousand has been screened out now, which is still a little short of the hundred thousand you requested, and I believe it will be ...... soon Not good! Your Majesty, be careful! ”
Before Kel'thugad could finish his report, he found a trace of magic fluctuations flashing above the city gate in the distance, originally he wasn't too worried, after all, the distance is far, I believe that there are no effective spells at this distance that can attack it, and the large-scale spells that can hit here are by no means just the current fluctuations! That's why he didn't pay much attention to it.
But he thought that the other party had thrown such a big flame explosion technique at such a distance? It's still that fast? Even used the City Defense Magic Tower to assist in the release of a single spell? It's a foul and a waste! Can monomer spells still be played like this?
Therefore, Kel'thugad only had time to put himself and Arthas, as well as the necromancers within a radius of more than ten yards, in a huge frost shield, and as for those who were further away, he couldn't care about it for the time being!
Rumble!!!
After a loud explosion, the hill and the surrounding area of more than a hundred yards were instantly engulfed in flames, except for the frost shield that was covered by Kel'thugad and those necromancers who reacted a little faster and knew how to save themselves, the other undead were swallowed up by the exploding flames! In this instant, Arthas has lost at least a hundred new necromancers and thousands of undead warriors!
"Damn the mage! Pass my orders! Start attacking! Destroy the city! Emerging from the frost shield, Arthas, the slightly embarrassed Death Knight, angrily ordered the undead.
At the same time, he also raised the artifact Frost Sorrow in his hand, and the ice blue light began to gather on the sword, and when the army of the undead was about to rush to the shallow strait, he swung it hard in time, and instantly split a blue-white sword from the top of the sword body, and slashed at the sea, instantly freezing this strait that was not too spacious and not too deep into hard ice......
"Everyone! Get ready to defend! Magic bomb, cover the front to shoot! Ferendre, activate City Shield now! When Sylvanas saw that the undead had finally begun to attack, he also began to shout loudly, giving battle orders one after another!
A huge violet hemispherical shield began to envelop Silvermoon City, countless undead crowded out of the shield, countless magic bombs were thrown, blowing the huddled undead into pieces, and magic arrows were constantly shot out by the rangers, or ignited or exploded every undead who was hit......
At the same time, the sky began to turn red, and the flames that Anne had promised before finally arrived in time, and then, bursts of flame rain began to fall outside the northwest gate, large and small flame meteorites fell down, and each fireball could empty a small area of undead after landing, and the remaining flames could also have a great impact on the zombie skeletons that crossed later.
"Necromancers! Bombard that shield! The energy in their city won't last long! ”
In the distance, the reorganized Kel'thugad also led the remaining more than a hundred necromancers, and began to continuously bombard the shield with evil black magic balls, and after the continuous black magic balls hit the violet shield, they made a dull popping sound at the same time, and also hit the surface of the shield with ripples like water ripples.
The battle is in full swing and has officially begun.....
……
On the moat bridge outside the south gate of Silvermoon City, Anne was sitting on the shoulders of Tiebs, who had turned into a flame bear, waiting boredly here at the city gate bridge, after she used the little magic she had left to release the rain of flames that could last for nearly half an hour, she retreated directly here, after all, her magic power was not much, and staying in the city would not help much.
"Tibbs, when will they be able to retreat here?"
The battle had been going on for more than two hours, and now that the undead had stormed into Silvermoon City and occupied a small part of the city to the northwest, the elves were now resisting and retreating in the direction of the south gate of the city.
The last group of elven citizens had just run out, and Anne had now prepared the teleportation spell, so she planned to teleport away collectively after they withdrew, and then she couldn't help anymore! The magic blue bar is running out soon!
Within half an hour, they could retreat here, and you might as well think about what else they could attack.
Tiebs scratched his head in boredom, there were so many of those undead that he didn't dare to go up and shop! Ants bite and kill elephants, it's not blown! What's more, that Death Knight is so powerful!
"Where else are there any means of attack! Tibbs! It's not like you don't know! I'm running out of magic! There's only enough to teleport a few times! Anne stood up from Tibbs's shoulder and began to look in the direction of the city through the wide open gates.
I remember you still have quite a few magic items......
"Not anymore! In addition to the space gem, a magic staff, and a time gem, there are really other things! If you don't believe me, I'll show you! Idleness was idleness anyway, and Anne began to rummage through her pockets, and there was really nothing useful except for the three things she had said and a bunch of things to eat and wear.
"Huh? Tibbs, what is this? When was it brought in? ”
Anne suddenly noticed a strange large cylindrical object lying in one of her small half-planes, with a tail still spewing flames, and a countdown of ten seconds in the small display screen on it, but because time in this half-plane was stagnant, it had been lying motionless in it, and this thing seemed to have been sitting in it for a long time.....
Well..... I remember, it seems like you brought it in when you were in New York, when you were fighting with the demigod mage on the roof of the Tin Man's house? That's right! It seems like the bombs that the humans of Earth have launched to blow up the portal?
Tibbs thought for a moment and added, "After defeating those Chiritas, didn't that bald Uncle Coulson ask you about it?" At that time, you also wanted to release it and return it to them, but at that time, you scared the group of people enough that they refused to go back, and told you not to release it again, I am not mistaken?
"Huh? I also remembered, it seems that there is such a thing! It seems like it's going to blow up after that countdown is over, right? So, Tibbs, in a moment, shall we throw it out and blow up those undead? ”
Probably can, right? Anyway, it's just a bomb, I think it's not much more powerful than your Extreme Flame Blast, it doesn't matter, if you like it, just throw it in this city and play with it.
Tibbs doesn't quite understand this bomb either, but based on the size of this bomb, you can roughly guess its power, and even if it does explode, it is estimated that it will not be too powerful, right?
"Okay! So, after releasing it a while, its head with three black funnel logos is traveling in the direction of travel, right? ”
That's right! Its tail is spewing flames, and it must have used the recoil of the flames to fly, so you could just throw its head with the three funnel symbols into the city! I don't think it will blow us up! - Thiebs is sure of that!
"Okay! Then we decided happily! I'll throw that big sister Sylvanas out and before they can teleport away, and I'll throw it into the city! Blow up those abominable undead! Hum! ”
Anne thought, judging from Uncle Coulson's nervous performance at the time, the power should be okay, right? No matter what, it should be able to blow up hundreds of undead within a radius of one or two hundred yards, right?
