Chapter 0092 - Little Annie Growing Mushrooms
While the legendary Lich Kel'thugad enveloped himself and Arthas in an icy shield, in the distance, little Anne was still standing on Tibbs's shoulder, continuing to look out in the direction of Silvermoon City.
Having just heard that the powerful mage had dropped a bomb on his way to the city, Sylvanas and the rest of the remnants of the Ranger Force looked in the direction of Silvermoon City in curiosity or silence.
Last night, their High Elves lost the Well of the Sun on the island of Queldanus along with their king and all of the members of the Silvermoon Council, plus some of Quel'Thalas's elite army! It can be said that they Quel'Salas lost almost all of the country's top brass, the most elite national defense force and the most important source of magic power overnight!
And today, in just over three hours in the morning, their High Elves have lost their most prosperous capital and their Silver Moon City!
Now that their land has been lost, their armed forces have been almost wiped out, their capital has been overrun by the undead, and the High Elves have been reduced to homeless refugees, what will greet them next?
Thinking of this, many rangers began to be silent and hesitated!
They just followed their Ranger General, looking in the direction of Silvermoon City with a blank expression, and now, they didn't know what to do!
The remaining 200,000 people are so crowded in this small bay of Dasviser that I am afraid that there will not even be enough housing to supply! If there is a future, where is the path of their High Elves? Or do they have no future at all? The endless undead will arrive here at night at most, they don't have a rest or anything like that, and when the time comes, what will they do to resist them? Armed civilians?
Suddenly!
"Ahh My eyes! β
The entire world of Quel'Salas seemed to be quiet for a while, and then, in the next moment, a burst of white light that seemed to illuminate the entire world swept by in an instant, and Annie, who was releasing the Eagle Eye Technique to observe Silvermoon City, only felt a sudden pain in her eyes, and quickly squatted down to hold Tiebs's head with one hand, and quickly covered her eyes that began to cry with the other.
Beside them, including the Ranger General Sylvanas, the elven rangers who followed Anne to look at Silvermoon City also covered their eyes one by one and fell to the ground and wailed, the bright light that swept just now caused a lot of damage to their eyes, and it was estimated that it would take a while before they could hope to recover.
After this blazing white light comparable to a powerful flashbang swept through, it didn't take long for Anne to feel a violent vibration coming from the direction of Silvermoon City, and then, regardless of the discomfort in her eyes, she quickly released a healing spell on her body to relieve the pain, and quickly continued to raise her head and look at the past......
In the distance, a huge ball of bright incandescent white light was rising from the blurred outline of the Silver Moon City, although the bright light was not as dazzling as it was when it first began to sweep away, it was still very bright and bright, bright and white!
While emitting light, the ball of light also started from a small one, slowly became huge, and slowly expanded, and then it rose higher and higher, and the color slowly changed from white to dark red like flames, with bursts of black smoke and lightning!
Eventually, it slowly turned into a giant black-red mushroom with dark red flames inside and billowing black smoke outside! It rises higher and higher, expands more and more, and then gradually rises into the air!
And beneath its huge fireball, a shockwave that was almost visible to the naked eye swept out in all directions, whether it was the city walls, buildings, or tall golden oak trees, all of them were torn to pieces by the invisible shockwave!
At the same time, a huge mixture of smoke and dust and flames followed the shockwave, and then continued to spread in all directions, and the spreading smoke and flames began from the center of Silvermoon City, and spread rapidly in the direction of a radius of several miles, as if thousands of horses, the flames were in thick smoke, and the flames roared and pushed flat in all directions, until they were almost six miles away from Silvermoon City, near the chocobo farm, and the power slowly weakened......
After a long while, the huge mushroom cloud gradually began to turn from red to black, and it seemed that the explosion was over, and its light radiation, shock wave, and flames had been released! And above it, the clouds above it were even swept in a large circle by the expanding air of its explosion......
"Wow! That's cool! Tibbs, you see! What a big mushroom! What a big doughnut! β
Anne's eyes widened as she looked at Silvermoon City in the distance? Well, there may not be Silvermoon City anymore! Under the power of such an explosion, Little Annie felt that there was no possibility for that Silvermoon City to exist anymore......
Not long after Anne sighed, a violent strong wind finally hit, and the surrounding trees, weeds and bushes were swaying in the strong wind, and some small trees with shallow rhizomes were even uprooted by the strong wind!
At the bottom of the high mountain, the slowest walker, and those elven refugees less than ten miles away from Silvermoon City were even more unbearable! Except for some clever elves who can find obstacles in time to dodge, those who didn't react in time were directly blown by the strong wind and began to roll on the ground!
At the intersection, the wooden guard towers that the rangers had just built to defend against the undead were also blown directly to the rear by the strong wind, and after a few bangs, the rangers on duty above and the guards standing guard below were so embarrassed that they almost died......
"Tibbs! Tibbs! Look! Haha, it turns out that this bomb is so powerful! It looks so small, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce once it exploded! β
Looking at the huge mushroom cloud rising higher and higher in the distance, Anne was still in tears, and her eyes were full of excitement in her faintly stinging eyes! It's a lot of fun! There was such a powerful gadget hidden in her space, but she never knew it!
This...... It's beyond imagination! I think we'd need to go back to New York and get some more of that charcoal-headed one-eyed dragon if we could! When you have nothing to do, it's not bad to throw one or two out and listen to the sound! - Tibbs also stared blankly at the mushroom cloud in the distance, it had never imagined that that inconspicuous bomb could be so powerful!
"Absolutely not! In that world of New York, the hammer must be waiting for us! Will definitely come and grab our gems! β
Little Anne didn't think about it and directly rejected Tibbs's proposal! You don't need to mention it when you go back to New York, it's easy to go back, just wait for the gem to be recharged! But it's hard to come up with it again, and the uncle with the hammer will definitely come to the door as soon as possible!
Well, it's good that you're happy! - Tiebs is also a little bit intimidated by the Asgardian kingdom, after all, there are many opponents and they have a home advantage.
β¦β¦
Anne bit her finger and continued to look excitedly at the large mushroom in the distance for a moment, and only after the loud rumbling noise had faded away did she come back to her senses and look at the more than three hundred elves around her, who were still lying on the ground covering their eyes and wailing.
Just now, little Anne was suddenly flashed, and even she didn't know that the bomb would emit a bright light! Therefore, no one will tell these high elves that they must not watch a nuclear explosion at such a close distance without their eyes protected! Otherwise, the end is serious!
Coupled with the High Elf rangers' consistently good eyesight, so, look at it, like them, after being suddenly irradiated by a bright light, it is equivalent to throwing a big flashbang in front of them! They must have suffered a lot of damage now, and their eyes are estimated to be unable to recover in a short period of time.
"Huh? That..., we seem to have accidentally caused trouble again! Tibbs, you say, what are we going to do now? β
Anne felt that she must have caused a big disaster now!
You see, a random thing that was thrown not only blew up the undead, but also destroyed someone else's main city, and turned miles around it into a sea of fire! Now, even here, which is more than ten miles away from Silvermoon City, is blown to pieces by strong winds! This must be a big disaster!
What else can I do? Hurry up and run! While they haven't recovered now, let's slip away! If you don't run now, when will you wait? - Tibbs quickly came up with a bad idea, in fact, it has long been unhappy that its master, Little Annie, will stay here to help these long-eared elves fight, not to mention the danger, the most important thing is: there is no reward! Why did Master Anne work so hard to help them fight, and Tiebs was stabbed by the Death Knight!
"Run? That's right! Let's run! So where do you go? Do you want to teleport randomly? β
The sea to the north, the mainland to the south, and so on! - When Tibbs followed Anne, he saw the elven military maps in the elves' city defense room, and he knew that there was a whole continent to the south, and it would be fine to teleport to the south!
"Okay! Then let's slip away! β
After making up her mind, little Anne immediately began to cast a teleportation spell, and the single teleportation spell did not require much preparation time, so, only three or five seconds later, after locking on a long-distance coordinate that could be determined to be safe, Anne and Tibbs disappeared into a burst of blue arcane light.
β¦β¦
After Anne and Tibbs left for a while, on the top of the mountain, the strongest ranger general Sylvanas? Windranger was the first to recover, and when she opened her tear-stained and stinging eyes, and saw the huge mushroom cloud above Silvermoon City in the distance, she was immediately startled by what she saw!
She, Sylvanas, sat on her knees on the grass, her mouth half-open, staring at the city and its surroundings in the distance, still shrouded in smoke and flames......
"General...... This, what the hell is going on? β
After a while, the other High Elf rangers also recovered one after another, and when they saw the terrifying apocalyptic scene in the distance, they had never encountered such a situation, and they didn't know what to do, so they just stood or knelt and sat together, looking at the big mushroom in the distance in a daze.
"It should be the bomb that Master Anne dropped...... That's right! Where is Master Anne now? β
After a while, Sylvanas, who had only come to her senses, immediately thought that this might be little Annie's masterpiece, so where is she now? After looking back for four weeks, the Ranger General did not notice Little Anne.
"I don't know ......"
The others also looked around blankly, and the rangers didn't notice the figure of the powerful mage, just now they were all flashed by the strong light, where can they still take care of the surrounding situation?
For them, this mage is too mysterious, since yesterday, she has run out so inexplicably to save many of them, and also helped set a fire to stop the army of undead heading north. I also helped them defend the city this morning, and then helped them retreat, and now at the end, I gave the undead in Silvermoon City a hard time, and then, and now they have disappeared again?
"Anne ......"
As for why Anne left, Sylvanas also said that she didn't know, she actually wanted to thank her in person, after all, the bomb that the little girl dropped did their High Elves a great favor!
Not to mention anything else, just the undead in Silvermoon City, under this level of attack, I'm afraid they must all be dead, right? Then, they must have no extra troops to surround and suppress them again! As for Sunchase Island or Queldanus Island, how many undead can there be?
This is a hard-won time, as long as she gives Sylvanas a month, she can pull tens of thousands of troops out of the refugees! Tens of thousands of elven troops, even if they are just recruits, it is not too easy to deal with those scattered undead!
Although there are no more in Silvermoon City now, there are still people in their High Elves! There are still 200,000 former Silvermoon City residents on this side of Darth Visser's Bay! As long as they are given time, the new Silver Moon City will be built again!
"General! What the hell is going on in Silvermoon City? Why such a horrific explosion? β
While Sylvanas was silent in thought, the Ranger Lord Lotherma rushed up from the bottom of the mountain with several Rangers. The explosion that had just happened scared him a lot, this kind of earth-destroying power is simply not something that mortals should have! He desperately wanted to know who had attacked the undead in Silvermoon City.
"That's the work of Master Anne......"
"It's Master Anne! No wonder! That's great! β
Hearing that it was the ruthless hand of his helper, Lotherma slapped his palm fiercely, which was really good news for their elves!
At least the Undead Scourge definitely don't have any extra troops to come over to Darth Visser's side to make trouble, and they have gained precious respite! As for Silvermoon City? Lotherma thinks that if it is blown up, it will be blown up, and the city can be rebuilt if it is gone, and it is better to blow it up than to be surrounded by the undead and destroy the clan!
"That's right! Where's Her Excellency Anne? β
Looking around, Lotherma didn't see the shadow of Master Anne around, and he was about to express his sincere gratitude! This is a great favor to save the elves, as long as he is within the power of Lotherma, he will do his best to repay it! You know, when he withdrew from Silvermoon City in the morning, he emptied the elves' treasure trove, and brought out a lot of good things from it, as long as Master Anne needed it, she could pick it up!
"She seems to have left ......"
Sylvanas struggled to prop herself up from the ground, wiping her eyes that were still stinging and tearful, before exhaling deeply.
"Lotherma! You immediately go down to maintain order, and then, organize two teams of capable rangers and mages who still have spare energy, and let them go to the vicinity of Silvermoon City to investigate the information of the undead as soon as the smoke and dust clear! I need to know first: what they are! How many died? How many are left? β
"Yes! I'll do it now! β
β¦β¦
The Night Elves can be said to be cousins of the High Elves, or they can be said to be two brothers who have turned against each other due to their different concepts. Unlike the High Elves, who blindly worship magic and power, the Night Elves worship Elune, the goddess of nature and the moon!
Since almost all of the Night Elves worship Elune, an important sacrificial and prayer building like the Moon Temple is indispensable! Beneath the World Tree, a majestic stone and timber palace is the Temple of the Moon where the Night Elves worship the moon god Elune, which now sits atop the sacred mountain of Hyjal.
The elves' massive World Tree, Nodashir, obscures everything here, including the Temple of the Moon, a magical World Tree that provides near-eternal life to the Night Elves who live here! From the War of the Ancients to the present, they have been here for almost 10,000 years!
In the Temple of the Moon, the Night Elves' most elite sentinel unit guards the Night Elves' leader, Priestess Tyrande. At the same time, the Temple of the Moon is also the most important core of the Night Elf faith, and all Night Elf warriors will come here to ask for the blessings of the goddess before the expedition. In the hearts of all the Night Elves, come to the Moon Temple, and come here, in order to seek the ultimate peace of mind.
For tens of thousands of years, the Night Elves have overcome one obstacle after another under the protection of the goddess Elune. They prayed and spoke to Elune's statue under the moonlight, or wandered and whispered in the distance, believing that Elune, the goddess of the moonlight, would always guide their path, a sacred place to their Night Elves!
But today, the door of the Moon Temple was suddenly pushed open very rudely, and the other party not only broke in without being informed, but also took the Moon Priestess Tyrande, who was praying to Elune alone? The tone of speech startled a lot, interrupting her prayer to the goddess!
No one had ever dared to break into the Temple of the Moon God so rudely! Never! Tyrande decided that he must punish this reckless impudent person fiercely today!
"Is that you? Malfurion! Why did you suddenly wake up on your own? "When Tyrande saw that it was her long-lost husband Malfurion? After the furious wind, the original angry color on her face immediately turned into surprise!
Since Malfurion? After Fury Wind learned the ways of the druids, and after Ysera, the queen of the dragons, allowed all the druids, including Malfurion, to enter the Emerald Dream Realm, he Malfurion and the other druids explored the dream for hundreds of years, or rather at home! It also made her high priest Tyrande a deep resentment for hundreds of years, and a widow for hundreds of years! Look! The bananas are all dried!
In Tyrande's opinion, the Emerald Dream is nothing more than a reflection of the world of Azeroth, so what is there to study about it? Just take a few casual looks!
These druids just have nothing to do, or just want to be lazy and sleep! Look at them, after sleeping for hundreds of years, they are covered with moss! Tyrande looked at the moss on her husband's skin and the tangled vines behind him with a little dissatisfaction, if he continued like this, he was about to become a tree man!
"Because, in my deep sleep, in the Emerald Dream, I suddenly heard a wail from the land of Azeroth! Tell me, Tyrande, tell me, what's going on on this side of the main material world of Azeroth? Why can I feel the earth in pain? β
That's why Malfurion suddenly woke up, he thought that the Burning Legion had invaded again or that the Well of Eternity had exploded again! So, as soon as he woke up, he hurried to inquire about his wife, Tyrande.
"Nope! Malfurion, I haven't noticed anything unusual lately! Oh, and it's not like nothing, recently, the Sentinels spotted a strange group of humanoids in the south, they were cutting down the forest and starting to build buildings, it seems that they are preparing to settle here for a long time! The demigod Cenarius has planned to lead a group of sentinels to destroy the creatures that have invaded the forest in the near future, but I don't know if it's the reason you're looking for! β
The Night Elves have lived in the forests of Kalimdor for tens of thousands of years, and they have no knowledge of the outside world and no interest in knowing about it. So, even Tyrande, the leader of the Night Elves, didn't know what it was that woke Malfurion up!
"Nope! Not in the south! It's the East! On the eastern continent, something terrible is happening at some point! Just now, the earth was still wailing! Tyrande, please, prepare the best and fastest ship for me, and some sentinels, I will lead a group of people across the Endless Sea as soon as possible to the Eastern Continent to reconnoiter the situation, this matter, it is better to do it as soon as possible! β
"Huh? Well, as you wish, my Malfurion! β
Tyrande turned away with a gloomy face! Since this Malfurion cultivated the way of the druids, he has become a human and a ghost, but now he is fine, he has slept for hundreds of years, and as soon as he wakes up, he will go to the far eastern continent! How could she, Tyrande, not have the slightest resentment against this?
β¦...
Dalaran is still the beautiful and peaceful magical city of humans, Kael'thas? The Sunstrider finally can't stay in this magical city anymore, he needs to hurry back to Quel'Thalas, and now, he has come to bid farewell to Antonidas, the chief archmage of Dalaran, and he is now starting to worry more and more about the situation in Quel'Thallas in the north!
"Your Highness Kael'thas Honorable, what do you do?" After leading the other party into the reception room of his mage tower, Antonidas asked the elven prince who had suddenly arrived.
"Your Excellency the Chief Mage, I have come to bid you farewell, I am about to return to Quel'Thalas, and you must have felt it, as it was at noon, there was a violent tremor in the north! There, something big must have happened! I've got to go back right now! β
Just now, as Kael'thas was about to enjoy a delicious lunch, he suddenly felt a tremor from the north, like an earthquake!
Although Dalaran was a little far away from Quel'Thalas, he still felt it clearly under the keen perception of the mages! In the direction from which the tremors came from was none other than the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, their High Elves! In addition, after he tried to contact Silvermoon City just now and received no response, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger! He had to go back and take a look! She was a little worried about what Gianna had said to him in the morning!
"I feel the same thing. Indeed, there must be something going on in the north! Antonidas nodded, agreeing with Kael'thas for his judgment, and after he thought that the Undead Scourge had indeed led his troops north to attack the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, he immediately understood Kael'thas eagerly returning home.
"Alright, I'll give you an explanation, and let Dalaran's long-distance teleportation circle be open to you." After thinking about it, Antonidas finally approved Kael'thas to return to his country.
After all, they have been in Dalaran for so many years, and they have taught a lot of knowledge to human beings, and recently they have contributed a lot to the encirclement and suppression of the undead, so it is reasonable for him to use Dalaran's long-distance teleportation circle now.
"Thank you for your understanding, then, I won't bother you." Having achieved his goal, Kael'thas nodded and left, he still needed to pack up a little and inform his entourage.
β¦β¦
Let's go back to Silvermoon City again, well, there is no more Silvermoon City now! Here, here on the site of the former Silvermoon City shrouded in smoke and dust, this has turned into a large crater that is still emitting scorching temperatures and terrifying radiation! Before the Dalaran Pit appeared, Silvermoon City took the lead in achieving itβthe Great Pit! This great epic achievement! Enough to go down in history and the chronology of events in Azeroth!
And what about the hundreds of thousands of undead who were originally crowded in the city? Well, there aren't any undead here!
Here in Silvermoon City, the undead near the pit were all vaporized by the heat; farther away, too, were burned to ashes by the flames of high heat; A little farther away, it was burned into all sorts of strange humanoid coke; Further afield, whether it's zombie ghouls or skeleton patchers, they've all been torn apart by the powerful shockwave into pieces of rotten flesh or piles of useless bones......
At this time, near the northern beach of Silvermoon City, Arthas, a death knight Arthas, who was covered in tattered armor and had been torn off most of his flesh and blood, and had turned into a half-skeleton and half-zombie, was slowly struggling to stand up from the sand.
Beside him is the legendary lich Kel'thugad! At this moment, the lich also looked extremely miserable, there were only a few pieces of wet cloth left on the robe on his body, his upper body, the skeletal arms disappeared directly, and even his soul was traumatized, and he would definitely not be able to recover for a while!
Thankfully, at the moment of the explosion, Kel'thugad put a tough ice shield on himself and Arthas, and then he continued to supply energy to the shield, which allowed the two of them to survive!
When the explosion occurred, they were lucky enough to be directly knocked away and blown away by the high-pressure shock wave directly along with the shield, otherwise, if they were really engulfed by the high temperature and high pressure in the middle of the nuclear explosion, the two of them would not even have any bones left!
"Kel'thugad! What exactly is that...? There was a hint of trembling in his tired words.
Arthas tried to stand up, but his left leg, which was only a bone on his left, stumbled and could not stand firmly, and he almost fell directly into the sea, and if he hadn't hastened to support the beach ground with frost sorrow, he would probably have fallen again.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I don't know ...... either"
Kel'thugad silently looked at the pit of Silvermoon City in the distance, and his heart was still trembling with fear! The situation just now is really too dangerous!
If he hadn't trusted his instincts and put the most powerful shield on himself and Arthas, he would have died!
What the hell is that thing? Why is it so scary for a small thing to explode? Could it be a superweapon made by the High Elves? Do they have anything like that? How many more?
Kel'thugad didn't dare to think about it anymore! He suddenly felt that Quel'Salas was too dangerous here, the water here was too deep, and he couldn't stay here any longer! It's better to hurry back to Lordaeron and complete the mission assigned by the Lich King!
"Your Majesty! I'll use the rest of my mana to prepare a teleportation spell in a moment, so let's go back to Lordaeron now......"
Kel'thugad decided that he couldn't stay here any longer, and that he had to be teleported back to Lordaeron to recuperate! As for the remnants of the undead troops here in Quel'Thalas, he didn't want to care anymore!
Now that they can't take care of themselves, where can they take care of those brainless puppets? Besides, with the two of them in this situation now, maybe, as long as a few elven rangers come over, they can easily clean them up! So, let's hurry up, it's too dangerous here in Quel'Thalas! Those elves even have such an incredible super magic weapon!
"Alright! You start, teleport back to Lordaeron's palace, I'm tired......"
Arthas sighed deeply after supporting his broken body with frost sorrow, he was really a little tired! Tired! He led his troops to Quel'Salas this time, and except for the wells of the sun, the resurrection of Kel'thugad, and the smashing of the long-eared homeland, everything else was lost! Including his invincibility! Including his army of the undead! And his face! And now add half of his body! It's all here!

..................................
Note: There are 4 external pylons under the wings of the Russian Tu-95MS, each of which can be mounted with 2 nuclear strategy KH-102 cruise missiles (the nuclear warhead explosion yield taken care of by the KH-102 cruise missile is 200,000 tons) Therefore, in view of the relatively developed technology of S.H.I.E.L.D. Avengers 1, the yield of Annie's tactical nuclear bomb is temporarily set at 20~500,000 tons!
Effective Kill Distance = C * Explosive Yield ^ (1/3) ................ (C is the proportionality constant, ^(1/3) is the cube root)
At an equivalent of 100,000 tons:
Effective Kill Radius = 1.493885 * 10^(1/3) = 3.22 km
Effective killing area = pi * 3.22 * 3.22 = 33 square kilometers
At an equivalent of 1,000,000 tonnes:
Effective radius of destruction = 1.493885 * 100^(1/3) = 6.93 km
Effective killing area = pi * 6.93 * 6.93 = 150 square kilometers
Therefore, the effective killing radius of a 500,000-ton nuclear bomb is about 5,000 meters! It's enough to level Silvermoon City, think about it, Silvermoon City, where 200,000 people gather to live, has a radius of up to 3~5 kilometers, right? After all, the cities of the world of Azeroth with magical cold weapons need to be easy to defend, and it is impossible to live too scattered! The buildings contained within the city walls are relatively dense!
