Chapter 91: The Preparation of the Empire (I)
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the sound of space oscillation.
With the long-range support of the Holy Relic of the Cross Order, the Gate of Light outside the Holy City of Messia, a full 18 brilliant and magnificent sky-blue portals with a height of sixteen meters and a width of twenty meters, opened in the grass at the junction of the Forest of Eternal Song and the old Lordaeron at about the same time.
Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers of the Holy Alaso Empire's Legion of Light, with high morale and bright armor, held high the Holy Cross battle flag, lined up in a neat queue, and walked out of the space-time gate in a steady stream.
These faithful warriors of God were divided into two parts, and the largest part of the warriors, led by the grassroots imperial officers or low-level paladins who had experienced the epic battle of the Dark Gate, quickly used the modular camp building materials in their hands that had already been strengthened by magic, and began to build a huge human defense camp.
The other team was divided into pieces, scattered by a scout team of thieves or assassins led by the Templars of Judgment, who were the first to rush into the Eternal Song Forest, which had become defenseless after the Great Rune Shield of the Eternal Song was shattered, and while setting up a guard barrier along the border, they tried to penetrate deep into the forest to see if they could get some information about the enemies in the Tide of Darkness.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The constant sun in the sky hung in the middle of the heavenly curtain, and the construction of the camp on the ground also built a rough outline with the appearance of more and more soldiers of the Legion of Light.
With Emperor Cullen and Pope Paul of the Cross as the core, plus the high-ranking transcendents of the six countries of the former alliance of human beings, the first-generation high-ranking powerhouses of the Holy Arathor Empire, fully armed, came here, the front line of the direct confrontation against the dark invasion prophesied by the Messiah, and entered the command tent in the center.
It is now the 18th year of the Holy Light Cross calendar, and the Holy Araso Empire, a great religious kingdom established under the influence of the Holy See Messiah, has gone through more than ten years, although it is not long, but it is definitely not a short time.
During this time, the Legion of Light has come a long way in commanding due to the increase in the number of clerics and the integration of the new violet magic system.
The virtual projection sand tables of various shapes in the command camp tent, dozens of detailed battlefield development data tables can be seen everywhere, plus the military staff officers who rely on the analysis of the imperial spiritual network to come and go, and transmit various battlefield reference opinions to His Majesty the Emperor at any time, it can be said that there is no trace of the medieval rustic battlefield command style before the Battle of the Dark Gate, but a high-end atmosphere and high-grade, which is enough to compare the near-future magical command style of the command system of the Earth Federation in another world.
After passing the three-layer spatial protection of the Holy Power Barrier and the six-layer Magic Barrier, a hero-level archmage of the former Dalaran City-State Alliance, now the Legion of Light, who is in charge of the intelligence on the magic side, quickly walked into the wide command camp.
This human archmage, who had been attached to the Holy Light Cross Church and was over 80 years old before the violet magic system was reconstructed, was now free of the slightest old aura of the old era of Dalaran.
Now the long life span brought to him by the violet magic has made his hair black again, and the temperament of the whole person is also full of the composure and drive unique to middle-aged people again.
I saw that after he entered the camp tent, he looked anxiously at the legion staff officers who came and went around him, and the three gates where the top echelons of the empire who went to the deepest part of the camp were located, and passed through the three gates that were very troublesome, and couldn't help frowning.
But the thought of the latest information he had just obtained from the High Elves was too appalling!
Simply gritting his teeth, a light blue glow unique to the medium flicker technique directly appeared on his side, causing his figure to directly cross hundreds of meters in an instant, directly appearing on the sides of the high-ranking members of the empire inside the command camp.
"Brush!" "Brush!" "Brush!"
Before he could speak, more than a dozen senior paladin guards at the core of the command camp, the official ranks, drew their weapons and surrounded him with surging judgment light.
"Don't worry, this is a devout believer in my Lord."
Fortunately, Pope Paul spoke out at the first time to stop the paladin guards from moving further, and the other high-ranking people who were eager to try it recognized the archmage in charge of intelligence in the Legion of Light after the light of the flickering spell dispersed, and withdrew the weapons they were about to draw.
"Mister."
The sudden movement made the Emperor Cullen look at his subordinate and asked majestically.
"Tell me, your Department of Magical Intelligence has found some major news that can make you so out of shape!"
Archmage named Mister Locke bowed his head and bowed to the Pope and the Emperor before making an apologetic mage.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Great Emperor, please forgive me for my mistakes."
No matter how noble his status was in the Dalaran era, in the face of an emperor who had truly unified the human race in history, the archmage maintained the respect he deserved, he first apologized, and then said quickly.
"His Excellency Mage Crassus, a former councilor of Dalaran, has sent us the latest news of the High Elves Clan using the advanced magical information transmission technique unique to the Kenrito Organization."
"Silvermoon City and the Sunwell have been completely destroyed by the main force of the second round of the Dark Tide, the undead army of the Scourge!"
"He and Prince Kael'thas have led the last remnants of the High Elves to flee in our direction."
Archmage Mister saluted again, then quickly took a half-step back and stood aside.
"What? Is Quell Danus dead? ”
"How is that possible?"
"God forbid, me, what did I hear?"
······
There was no doubt that the urgent information brought by the archmage was like a nuclear bomb, which exploded in an instant in the entire imperial hierarchy, making the senior generals and extraordinary powerhouses of the empire who had originally discussed the strategy and tactics in a low voice in the entire camp instantly boil.
In particular, some high-level law powerhouses who were fellow spellcasters with Archmage Mister and were colleagues of Dalaran Kenrito in the past looked at him with a somewhat unbelievable gaze.
You must know that the High Elves have a certain sense of the arcane treasure, one of the sources of magic, the Sun Well, how powerful it is under the accumulation of ten thousand years.
Perhaps before the Empire unified the human race. The other human kingdoms in the Old Alliance may not be clear, or unaware of. However, these high-level law system powerhouses from Dalaran, especially those of the older generation of spellcasters who had gone to Silver Moon City to exchange and visit after becoming heroic-level great magicians, all had a general idea of how powerful the High Elf clan was!
Not to mention the heroic ranger generals in the dozens of large and small elf gathering places in the entire High Elf Kingdom except for Silvermoon City, who actually control the local power of the Queldanus Kingdom.
The existence of more than three-digit heroic casters in the Silver Moon Council, the Sunstrider Royal Court, and the reclusive elven archmages on Queldanus Island, where the Sunwell is located, combined are enough to make every high-level spellcaster of the former Dalaran Archmage Council tremble.
Otherwise, with the pride peculiar to these human spellcasters, in the past era of the Dalaran Autonomous City-State Alliance, the magic capital of the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race, how could they have accepted two of the six supreme councilors of its supreme leadership body, Kenrito, from foreign races!
To put it bluntly, it's not because the High Elf Quell Danus Kingdom at that time had big fists and strong magic!
And such a High Elf Kingdom that is extremely powerful in the eyes of these indigenous mages of Azeroth, who has been ingrained in their thinking for most of their lives before joining the Empire, is the strongest force in the Eastern Kingdom Continent.
In just one week, it was completely destroyed!
How powerful is the second wave of darkness prophesied by the prophet Messiah?
All the people present who knew the strength of some high elves couldn't help but be a little frightened in their hearts.
However, all the people present were either high-ranking generals of the empire, or extraordinary powerhouses above the hero level, and after a moment of noise, they quickly settled down.
And after Emperor Karen digested this shocking news, he inadvertently glanced at the calm face beside him, and seemed to have expected the destruction of the elven kingdom Pope Paul, and his mood calmed down instantly.
"Tell me, Mister."
The Emperor's calm voice further calmed the hearts of the extraordinary powerhouses in the camp who had lost their temper due to the destruction of the High Elves, and shifted everyone's attention to this wave of enemies they were about to face.
"Your Excellency Crassus and Prince Kael'thas, when will we be able to reach our defenses?"
"Empire, need further intelligence from the enemies of this Tide of Darkness!"
