407. Take over the command

The path of human reinforcements to the rear positions has finally been opened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The chaotic undead could no longer organize an effective block, and Arthas was watching from a distance, without the slightest intention of making a move. He didn't do anything, he didn't give orders, and he couldn't stop this thousand-strong army just by relying on the words of those ordinary commanders. Therefore, the human soldiers brought by Du Teng, after finally using up the last Holy Light Bomb, finally broke through the camp of the undead army and came to the side of the High Elves.

As for Du Teng, he was still suspended in the air, constantly releasing fireballs.

At this moment, no one paid attention to the movements of the human soldiers, and everyone paid attention to Du Teng's body, especially the magicians, whose eyes were crystal bright, looking at Du Teng's gaze as if the dragon clan had seen a gem, and they couldn't move away.

There is no other reason, it is all the fault of this magic.

Although to be honest, the lethality of this magic is not very strong, there are also a few magicians in Azeroth who have mastered the magic of meteorfire, the real meteorfire damage is very high, it is a sharp weapon for attacking cities, so the difficulty is also extremely high, and there are not many magicians who have really mastered this magic. And the magic that Du Teng is casting at this moment is a little worse than the genuine meteor fire, but the most commendable thing about it is that the consumption of magic power is obviously extremely small.

All magicians who can feel the fluctuations of magic power can feel the magic fluctuations on Du Teng's body, it is very weak, really weak, not much higher than the food creation technique. And this spell, which is obviously not much higher than the food creation technique, has shown a lethality far beyond that of magic of the same level...... How can the food creation technique be lethal, but the meteor spark cast by Du Teng is there.

Although the lethality is still slightly insufficient, it consumes less, and no matter what the lethality is, it is a real flame, and the formation used to harass the enemy is very useful, which can be seen from the dynamics of the battlefield at this moment.

The mages were breathing a lot heavier, and everyone looked at Du Teng with anticipation, including the few mages in the army of the undead.

The overwhelming meteor fire finally ended, and after several gargoyles who rushed up to finish Du Teng were smashed by him, Du Teng fell back to the ground like a savior. As soon as it landed, it attracted cheers from the High Elves.

The offensive of the army of the undead has stopped, and the battle in front of the fortifications has completely subsided. I don't know what Arthas thinks, but he actually took the initiative to retreat a few hundred meters with the army of the undead, and stopped a few hundred meters away, staring at him.

On the High Elves' side, there was a rare chance to breathe, and all the elves were desperately trying to regain their strength, priests to heal the wounded, and mages to reinforce their work together - although it was pointless.

"We have to go back."

Back at Taquilin's government office, Du Teng said straight to the point.

The High Elves present had very ugly faces, and no one spoke.

Du Teng ignored them and continued to talk to himself.

"I can roughly understand your state of mind at the moment, on the one hand, I feel that it is really inappropriate for me, an outsider, to be the commander-in-chief, on the other hand, your arrogance does not allow you to give up the defense line that has not been breached, not to mention that there are two temples on the left and right, once this place retreats, the two temples will be completely isolated, and you don't want to abandon your companions......"

Du Teng said, looking at the faces of the elves around him, smiled slightly, and then suddenly slapped the wooden table hard.

The loud noise made everyone in the room jump slightly, and then subconsciously looked over.

"What time do you think it is? It's war! It's a war provoked by the undead against all living beings, and you think that what you did is not wrong, but I can only say that you are very wrong, I really don't know how you became the commander of this army, why you have no knowledge at all!

Do you really think that the undead have no strength to break you? Do you really think you can stop it? No kidding, in addition to the dragons, what race does Azeroth have the ability to fight in the field when facing the undead? You can't even hold back the army of the undead for a day without strong fortifications, do you need more from me at the southern level? How it was broken, you should know better than I do!

Arthas clearly wanted to preserve his strength, so he basically only sent a few low-level troops to attack.

Most of the Stitchers are guarding him, the Frost Dragons are all resting, and the Death Knight is not charging, but a few skeletons and zombies make you arrogant enough to think you can stop the undead here? Naive! Immature! ”

Du Teng's voice was so loud that it shook the cups in the room. The elves were stubbornly holding Du Teng, and their eyes were extremely unkind. It was as if he was going to kill him with his gaze.

But Du Teng didn't care at all, and continued with a sneer on his face.

"I sent someone to send some information before, you are considered the senior commander here, you should have seen it. The Scourge of the Dead is completely different from the creatures of the past. Before and after the founding of the High Elves, they have not stopped fighting with trolls, and trolls have a characteristic, that is, even if their arms, legs and feet are cut off, and they can grow back quickly, as long as they are not killed directly, these creatures have very strong toughness, which is annoying.

However, compared to the undead scourge, trolls can only be regarded as a group of schoolchildren, and the undead do not have a strong regeneration ability, but they are able to revive the corpses of the dead and turn them back into their source of soldiers. And most importantly, this recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and although the methods are the same, the results are often very different.

What you've seen and experienced so far, whether it's skeletons or zombies or ghouls, isn't just the lowest level of the undead army, in fact, if my guess is correct, they're all the lowest of the monsters of the same level.

Arthas killed his father, turning the whole of Lordaeron into a dead place, and countless ordinary people died at the fall of the undead and then got back on their feet. These people are just the most ordinary farmers, not even as good as farmers, they don't have any strong combat power, and they only have a handful of strength at most in their lifetime. But it's just that some ordinary people have turned into skeletons that make you tired of coping, and I want to ask you, how can you stop the more powerful skeletons that have been transformed into the Gilneians who died under the city of Greymane?

You shut up for me, I know what you want to say, yes, we Gilneth indirectly provided a lot of excellent soldiers for the undead, but we repelled the undead natural disaster, and we were caught off guard by the undead, but you are different, you are obviously prepared, with the information I gave you, you are still stupid and undead in positional warfare. Of course, there's nothing wrong with positional warfare, but the problem now is that you want to fight the undead to the death without any strong defenses, without any natural hazards to defend...... I don't know if you're so arrogant that you don't know the form anymore, or if you've betrayed all living beings and want to use the High Elves who are better than humans as an important part of the Scourge of the Dead. ”

"You, you're slandering!"

When Du Teng said this, the High Elves finally couldn't sit still anymore, and a High Elf who looked like Ole's deputy stood up and pointed at Du Teng's nose to scold.

"Slander? If I'm slandering, then can you please explain why you are staying here and not leaving? Knowing that fallen companions would quickly turn into more formidable enemies, why would they be here to provide troops for the Scourge undead? Don't tell me about the Sun Temple, the Moon Temple, or anything, how many people can there be in two temples? They were able to hold out until now without being breached, only because the terrain and architecture of the two temples helped them temporarily resist the invasion of the undead. To put it mildly, even if the two temples were breached, the corpses they could provide were very limited.

But what about here? I'm really disappointed, you didn't even disperse the civilians and leave early, the High Elves are indeed much better than humans, even ordinary High Elves are far superior to ordinary humans in terms of magical talent and physical agility, and the High Elves basically have good archery skills, all even if they are ordinary High Elves, they can also act as a good intermediate class in today's undead natural disasters. Don't you see? Arthas is now clearly using the blood and lives of your companions to exchange blood for the undead Scourge, and as long as he replaces all the undead converted by ordinary humans with High Elves, the power of the Scourges will be even stronger.

Come, can any of you tell me that if this really happens, and all the lower classes in the army of the undead are upgraded with the corpses of the High Elves, how will you resist the attack of the undead? You think it's a shame to abandon your companions, and if the undead army sets foot on the whole of Quel'Thalas, killing countless High Elves, leaving the entire High Elves without a single High Elf, then what? Glory? Merit? Yes? Answer me! You shouted the loudest just now, come, answer me, answer me this question! ”

Du Teng's voice could be heard even outside, but the room was quiet, and the high elves seemed to be stunned by Du Teng's words, and sat there one by one stupidly motionless.

After a long time......

"I trust Prince Lim's judgment, after all, when it comes to confronting the undead, Gilneth has more say than we Quel'Thalas."

"General!"

Several of the surrounding commanders all looked at Olena in disbelief, as if they didn't believe that this was coming from his mouth.

"Okay, the next battle, just obey the command of His Highness Limu."

Oleina was also the one who made a quick decision, knowing that what Du Teng said was right, although this remark really made the High Elves look bad, for the arrogant and very honor-oriented High Elves, it was even more uncomfortable to recognize these words than to kill them.

But when he thought of the country and the people behind him, and then thought of the soldiers who died on the front line, he decisively abandoned his reputation, chose to recognize Du Teng, and handed over the command to Du Teng.

On the surface, this seems a bit hasty, after all, the two belong to different races, and let the High Elves obey the command of humans...... Returning to Silvermoon City, I don't know what kind of responsibilities I have to endure. But he couldn't care so much anymore, he couldn't forget those desperate eyes and decisive figures, in order to prevent more of his companions from dying in vain and becoming the enemy of the living, he made such a decision.

As for the other elves, because Olena has the highest status here, they can't refuse his words.

Even though there is a thousand reluctances in his heart, he can only nod his head.

As for whether they will be unworthy and act when they go to war...... Du Teng can't care about it so much, anyway, it is related to the safety of the High Elves, if they can really ignore their own people, but use the blood of the people to anger themselves, it is also the High Elves' own business.

Supporting the High Elves is just to bring Gilneth back to the forefront, and it would be best if he could get the friendship of the High Elves.

In the future, only a group of remnants of the defeated army remained, and this race, which had to change its name to the Blood Elves, still possessed the power of no less than any other race. And now, the High Elves are only stronger.

The reason why the High Elves were defeated so simply and completely in the original timeline was, to put it bluntly, defenselessness was the main reason.

Ignorance of the undead is a secondary reason, and there are some minor details, such as the undead being too strong, the High Elves' strategic mistakes, etc...... The combination of these reasons led to the defeat of the High Elves. As long as any of them can change, the High Elves will not be defeated so easily.

Moreover, the war potential within the High Elf clan has not really been developed, or because they have been comfortable for a long time, the trolls no longer have a big threat to them, so the High Elves are greatly backward in almost all aspects of war preparation and pre-battle defense. Before much of the country's war potential could be stimulated, it was beaten by the undead, and as a result, the famous High Elves were defeated.

Now that Du Teng is here, he wants to let the High Elves hold on.

It's best to build a friendship with Gilneth and help Gilneth get out of the cycle of self-isolation again, and for the current Duten, the most important thing is to consume the power of the Scourge as much as possible. He had already begun a comprehensive campaign against the fallen lands of Lordaeron, and if the undead turned around like this, his plans would be over.

So he had to let as many of the undead die here as possible, and only when the undead had no intention of going south, would Gilneth have the strength and time to swallow the whole of Lordaeron in one gulp.

As for Akmund, which is coming in the near future, to be honest, it is no longer a problem that one country can face, Du Teng does not consider it at all, and Akmund did not put too many experiences on the Eastern Continent in the original timeline, and in this life, it should still be like this.
