Chapter 92: The Preparations of the Empire (Part II)
A legion of human soldiers, led by a five-size-three-stout Paladin Legion leader with a beard on his chin, followed Emperor Karen's orders and hurried to a medium-sized violet teleportation hub temporarily set up on the edge of the Eternal Song Forest and human defenses.
The latest news has just arrived from the Scout troops of the Legion of Light who first explored the depths of the Eternal Song Forest.
After a short period of communication, the commander of the frontline scout team prepared to build a simple military teleportation array hub from there to directly teleport the elven prince and his last people.
And the bearded Paladin Legion Captain Makral, the high-ranking human officer who was ordered to greet the remnants of the High Elves.
"Remember to drop the latest scout supplies and medicines to our brother after the portal opens!"
"Then, bring those pointy-eared civilians to the civilian settlement on the 16th in the rear!"
After the loud order of the corps commander Makral was given.
The medium-sized teleportation hub on the side had already begun to flash with a purple-blue mystical light, and the soldiers of the entire human legion immediately executed it in an orderly manner according to the legion's arrangement.
It seems that the scout brothers who went deep into the Eternal Song Forest communicated with the High Elves quite well, and with the sad eyes of the High Elf civilians, who were still in good spirits, one after another appeared from the purple-blue space gate of the teleportation hub, and under the leadership of the elven spellbreaker warriors they led, obediently lined up in a fairly neat line, following the groups of human soldiers towards the rear.
Seeing this scene, the human officers led by the human legion leader Makral secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They can clearly perceive that the so-called civilians of these high elves are basically professionals above the official rank, and they are afraid that these pointed ears who have just faced the disaster of destroying the country will make some moths.
Thankfully, there were no incidents!
"My brothers, get your groomed and prepare with me to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas with me!"
Commander Makral, who would have been the last soldier of the Alliance to go to the Northern Expedition to Icecrown Glacier in the original history, took the lead and stroked the dead branches and leaves in the Yongge Forest on his shoulder armor, and said to the officers around him.
With his words, the adjutant and other officers behind him also sorted out the dust on their steel rune armor and the debris falling from the forest, and their faces also maintained a solemn expression.
On the Eastern Kingdom Continent, the one who deserves to be treated so solemnly by a high-ranking officer at the level of a legion commander of the Holy Araso Empire is the High Elf Prince who cannot be ignored only in his own strength, and who also has first-hand combat power information of the Dark Calamity forces.
The purple-blue teleportation hub in front of them deliberately paused for ten seconds after teleporting the elven civilians.
Then, more than twenty elven archmages such as Prince Kael'thas and Crassus, six ranger generals such as Winlessa, and the only thirty hero-level powerhouses left in the once huge High Elf Kingdom, together with the figure of Luo Ning, the human archmage standing at the end, condensed from the void and appeared above the teleportation hub.
"Your Highness Kael'thas, on behalf of Your Majesty Karen, I welcome you."
Don't think that the five-three-thick legion commander Marklar is really as thick and wild as he looks.
On the contrary, Makral, who was able to become a high-ranking officer in the Legion of Light, had a resolute and solemn voice, and after giving a knightly salute to His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas continued, politely.
"The Empire has provided a suitable area for your people to settle in, so please be careful."
"His Majesty Karen is waiting for you in the central command tent, we very much need your intelligence to bring the core combat power of the natural calamity!"
Facing the polite human warrior in front of him, the dusty Kael'thas squeezed out a gentle smile on his tired face.
You must know that on their final escape path, it was not all smooth sailing, and the pursuit of the undead of natural disasters has never stopped.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still more than thirty hero-level high-level combat forces in the remaining shadows of the High Elf clan, and the thousands of High Elf remnants who needed their protection were all strong professionals with their own unique skills, he might not have been able to live to see the Scout Team in the depths of the Empire.
"Thank you for coming, Legion Commander."
Faced with the Imperial powers, which had just saved themselves from extinction, Kael'thas had to maintain the same etiquette.
After ordering several elven archmages behind him to go to the civilian settlement, he took the remaining high-level combat forces and followed the Captain of Makral towards the core of the human defense lineΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

After receiving the Prince of Karthas during the day, Emperor Karen rejected the Prince's desire to take the remaining High Elf forces with him to fight with the Imperial army for revenge.
For the Legion of Light, which is now in the form of an established system and has even updated its equipment and combat methods several times, the more than thirty hero-level elves who are not compatible with their own Holy Cross Faith combat system are of no great use at all except for playing on the edge of the battlefield.
Once the current Legion of Light really fought, as soon as the military array full of the aura of divine holy blessings opened, the surging positive energy Yahweh Holy Light was enough to envelop the huge area of several kilometers around the entire legion, those who did not believe in Yahweh, nor belonged to the violet system created by Samaste, the old elven archmage of the Sunwell magic system, under the suppression of this level of energy, maybe not even a small fireball could be rubbed!
"More than five hundred corpse golem abominations, death knights, archlichs, and ordinary undead in billions of dollars."
"We can't put up a foolproof line of defense on the border of the Yongge Forest."
"The border between the Yongge Forest and the empire is more than 11,000 kilometers, unless all the people of the entire empire are fully mobilized to participate in the war, defense is not our best choice!"
"That's right, according to Prince Kael'thas's intelligence, there are not a few undead units that can fly!"
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
In the evening in the tent of the central command camp of the human defense line, the lights were still bright.
The entire Holy Alatho Empire has gathered here one by one, the Pope and the Emperor are at the top of the throne, and high-level spellcasters and some independent high-level warriors and holy warriors are surrounded by high-level spellcasters and holy warriors, either closing their eyes and meditating, or reading the detailed information brought by Prince Kael'thas through the projection screen in front of them.
The high-ranking staff officers and generals of the Imperial Military Department stood in the center, enthusiastically discussing how the next Light Army would respond to this tide of darkness.
After several hours of discussion, the results of the discussions, represented by a senior staff officer, were presented to Emperor Cullen and Pope Paul.
"In other words, this time the tide of dark natural disasters, if you want to reduce the loss."
"We can only take the initiative?"
When he reached middle age, the emperor, whose temperament had become more and more majestic and noble, asked calmly after quickly reading the results.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"If we really wait for the Scourge Undead Legion to take the initiative to attack, with our current strength, there is no guarantee that we will be able to defend the long border of the Yongge Forest without fail."
The high-ranking staff officer bowed his head and replied respectfully to the emperor.
"But if we take the initiative, will our scout troops be able to determine the position of the enemy's main force?"
As the first monarch of the empire, Cullen was a true emperor in the immediate sense of the word, and he experienced countless battles and wars before and after the establishment of the empire, and he saw the flaws in the results at a glance.
Although the number of Legions of Light gathered here from all over the empire has exceeded 570 these days, in the face of the huge area of Yongge Forest in units of millions of square kilometers, it is still a cup of salary, if you take the initiative to attack, but you can't determine the main force of the natural disaster, then a blind attack will be meaningless.
It is likely that the upper echelons of the Scourge will use the huge cannon fodder army to hold back the Empire's troops, while the real main force will directly cross the border and attack the interior of the Empire.
"Your Majesty, based on the information provided by His Excellency Somast, the Violet Sage."
"Half a month later, the top management of the Dark Scourge will appear in a group at the former site of the sunwell near Silvermoon City, 'Quel'Salas Island', to hold a major lich transformation ceremony."
"With the arrangement of our fourth-generation Violet Military Teleportation Array, coupled with the support of the spatial energy of the Gate of Light, the Imperial Mage Regiment is sure that before this, the main force of the 200 Empire will be teleported to the vicinity of Silvermoon City."
The senior staff officer's calm answer echoed in the camp tent.
All the high-ranking and powerful people of the empire in the camp then shifted their attention here, listening to the conversation between the emperor and the staff with solemn expressions.
Offensive or defensive, but then they repel the key point of this wave of darkness in the Divine Language, and they can't afford to pay more attention to it!
The Emperor glanced at the Pope and saw Paul nodding slightly at him.
This made His Majesty finally make up his mind, and he stood up.
"Good!"
Holding the Angel of Power's sword, Cullen stepped down from his seat on the high platform and glanced around at his subordinates who looked excited and eager to try.
"Breaking the tide of darkness is a sacred mission given to us by God that cannot be blasphemed!"
"Everyone, get ready."
"Let's start tomorrow morning!"
