Chapter 262: Battle of Silvermoon City: Breaking the City

Just 10 days after the Kael'thas Conclave, the once-glorious city of Silvermoon became the city of the dead where the undead spread the plague.

The grass that was once green has withered, the birds and animals are reduced to dry bones, the houses have collapsed, the forests have dried up, and even the once beautiful and clear water of the lake is bubbling with disgusting green oil.

Due to the plundering and slaughter of the death army led by Xue Huan, starting from Daisom, along the Silvermoon Forest, a long, black winding road traversed the Silvermoon Forest, directly cutting the once majestic and glorious Silvermoon City in half.

What no one could have imagined was that in later records, this winding and terrible path of corruption was called the Death Trace, and in the top-secret archives of later generations, he was recorded as such.

Death Streak - Caused by the Scourge led by Kira, the fallen Death Knight. Carrying the urn of Terenus containing the bones of Kel'thugad, the Death Knight Kira broke through the elves' defenses and eventually reached the sunwell, contaminating the well to bring the archlich Kel'thugad back to life.

Due to the deadly plague and powerful evil forces, the path taken by the scourge became the scar of death.

Countless abominable ghouls, skeletal warriors, and abominations roam the Death Scars, servants of the Scourge Legion.

Walk through the once thriving Garden Market, the Murder Trail, and the Sunrise Court, where the Sun Throne, once belonged to the Sun King, Anastarian, now belongs to Xue Huan.

Lying lazily on the ornate throne, Xue Huan had never felt so comfortable, the death knight Gavin Rad served on the left, Rivendell on the right, and the cursed sword Frost Sorrow leaned on the throne.

To be honest, being able to capture this elven city in less than 7 days was something Xue Huan didn't expect, after all, just before the death army under his command commanded to storm onslaught, the elves' desire to resist was still very strong.

But just after he ordered a general attack, those stubborn elves collapsed at the touch of a blow like a deflated ball, and it didn't cost him much at all, except for the attack on the Tower of Sunrage.

And the "rout" of these elves also surprised him a little.

"These guys. ”

Xue Huan, who was sitting on the throne, supported his head with his right hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking to himself: "Cunning elf, your retreat is just a pseudo-retreat, although I don't know what medicine you have in your gourd, but Silver Moon City and the Well of the Sun, my death army is bound to win!"

"Master Qiqi!!" Just as Xue Huan was thinking, Tried walked into the main hall with a cane.

"Tell me, my dear necromancer, what have you gained?" Xue Huan stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

This unfathomable necromancer, his staff, himself is growing fond of him.

"Master, you may have guessed right!" Tried bowed slightly, and the sudden remark made Xue Huan's brows furrow slightly.

And sure enough...

"Master Qiqi, in accordance with your orders, after all the undead army settled in Silvermoon City, I sent five hundred necromancers to investigate and search all over the city, and sure enough, no less than fifteen hundred magic traps were found in most of the dwellings, and no less than five hundred magic traps were ambushed around the throne you were in. ”

Treed laughed hey, his eyes slightly sarcastic: "Hehe, in addition, we have captured more than three hundred elven mages, it seems that they are here to stay and use magic to detonate these magic traps." ”

Listening to Terred's report, Xue Huan raised his eyebrows.

"With all due respect, my master. Treed continued: "If more than two thousand magic traps are detonated at the same time, not only these hundreds of thousands of undead army, but even you, the master..."

Speaking of this, the treacherous and cunning Tried changed his words and bowed slightly: "However, how can those elf tricks be hidden from the great master, now all the magic traps in the city have been destroyed, and the elven mages responsible for detonating have all been captured, so... Congratulations master, this elven city is now yours!"

Although Xue Huan's heart was already dead, he had to admit that this fierce praise made him very useful.

Of course, there is a bit of an element of boasting, but before swaggering into Silver Moon City, Xue Huan did indeed have insight into the ghost tricks of these elves.

He knew that although this magnificent Silvermoon City was the stronghold of the High Elves, not far north of here, there was a sacred place where the elves worshipped.

Because Quildanus has the magic of the Well of the Sun, if the High Elves fight there, their combat power will increase exponentially, on the contrary, because the magic of the Well of the Sun symbolizes purity and sacredness, the power of the undead under his command will be greatly weakened, and even he may not be able to exert his full power in Quildanus.

"Is this your stupid plan?Anastarian?" the corners of Xue Huan's mouth twitched slightly.

Although he knew all about the plans of the stupid elves, he now had to admit that he couldn't handle this thorny problem for the time being.

Battles have been very frequent lately, and although his undead plague army can go without eating, drinking, or even sleeping, Xue Huan himself has participated in a lot of battles during this time in order to harvest more souls for Frost Sorrow.

Now he's a little tired...

He continued to need some time to sort out the results of the war during this period, and also needed time to prepare for the next battle plan.

"Tried!" Xue Huan's cold and empty voice echoed in the main hall.

"The Lord of Darkness is above, and Terred is on command at any time!" the old necromancer bowed slightly to Xue Huan on the throne.

Xue Huan raised his eyebrows and commanded lightly: "Three days! I am going to stay here for a short time for three days!! In these three days, I want you to resurrect the whole city, remember, the corpses of the whole city, to become my dark servants, and after three days, I will lead them to put down the last hope of those elves!!"

Xue Huan's eyes seemed to hide an unfathomable black hole, which was filled with the desire to kill.

"Do as you are told, my master!!" Tried's voice trembled.

Although it was difficult to resurrect all the corpses killed in battle in the entire Silvermoon City in just three days, after all, there were nearly fifty or sixty thousand fresh corpses to dispose of, after the defeat of Silvermoon City, the once arrogant elven mage Darkan led more than two hundred dark believers to defect to the Lich King, and if they were harnessed their power, this task would not be impossible.

"That's it, you step back first!" Xue Huan waved his hand and told Ted to step back.

He was now very relieved of this brilliant staff, who had been doing very well since he defected to him at Lordaeron. Maybe it's because magicians are born with the ability to manage themselves and others, or maybe it's because of Tried's talent.

In short, Xue Huan was never disappointed in entrusting the management of the more than 3,000 dark cultists captured from the Battle of Lordaeron to Tried.

Ordering Gavenrad and Rivendell to stand outside the Tower of Sunrage, Xue Huan got up and walked slowly up the ornate spiral staircase.

He has more things to attend to now...
