Chapter 988: Fallen Night Elves

The magical capital of Dalaran was strongly attacked during the invasion of the Burning Legion. In order to resist the sudden Legion, the Council of Kenrito, led by Ronin, teleported Dalaran from Nordson to the sky above the Broken Isles, and united all the Azeroth resistance, including the Alliance and the Horde, to form an anti-demon coalition with the purpose of fighting the Burning Legion.

Dalaran was sitting right above the western waters of Broken Beach, where the Burning Legion had gathered, looking down on the entire Broken Beach and the Tomb of Sargeras from the air. In the distance, the Broken Beach was filled with hordes of demons and legion battle fleets.

At present, the forces of the Anti-Demon Alliance can only be located in a small area to the south of Broken Beach, and skirmishes often break out on the ground - the Anti-Demon Alliance is unable to take the initiative to start a large-scale battle, and the Burning Legion does not know for some reason, and mainly focuses on defense, and only sends a demon army to weaken the Anti-Demon Alliance when they are overpowered.

The majestic Tomb of Sargeras has emerged from the bottom of the sea and stands in the northern part of Broken Beach. A huge pillar of demonic light emerged from the top of the building, soaring into the sky, creating a huge crack in the space above.

Luo Ning is right, the current situation of the anti-demon coalition based in Dalaran is not very good, except for the Judgment hovering over Dalaran, the air force of the anti-demon coalition cannot compete with the fleet of the Burning Legion at all, and the result of losing air supremacy is to make this war passive, and if you rely on the ground forces alone, the anti-demon coalition is also not comparable to the endless Burning Legion.

However, the arrival of the Demon Hunter has given hope for a solution to this passive situation. As soon as the Demon Hunter appeared in the skies over Dalaran, a battle began with the Burning Legion in the airspace between Dalaran and Shattered Beaches the next day.

The air force, led by the Demon Hunter, pressed directly towards Broken Beach, trying to support the stronghold of the Anti-Demon Alliance in the southern part of the Broken Isles. The Burning Legion, of course, would not let them succeed and sent a large number of Void ships, including the flagship, to intercept them.

All of a sudden, the battle airspace was filled with countless various types of troops, including the Witcher Knights' shuttle fighters, black dragon knights, griffin knights, harpies, raptor druids, armored manticores, as well as tribal bipedal dragon knights, dragon eagle knights, and goblin battle airships, as well as the alliance's horned eagle beasts, griffins, and so on.

The Burning Legion's air force is even more diverse, in addition to various Void Combat Ships, there are Gargoyles, Void Beasts, various dragons and demons resurrected by evil powers, and so on.

This air battle was the first large-scale battle with the anti-demon coalition since the arrival of the Burning Legion, and the air forces of both sides almost poured out, which lasted for three full days.

During these three days, various explosions and violent collisions continued to erupt in the sky above the sea area between Dalaran and Broken Beach, and enchanted bows, bullets, rays, ballistics, and mana filled the space all the time, even Dalaran was far away from the battlefield, people could see and hear, thus reminiscent of the intensity of the battle.

At the beginning of the battle on the battlefield, out of fear of the murderous reputation of the Burning Legion, the initial battle situation was not ideal, and many air forces cowered and did not dare to respond. But soon, the soldiers of the Demon Hunter Crossing Regiment and the Knights set an example for them.

The air force, led by the Demon Hunter, rushed in regardless of the Burning Legion air force that was dense in the sky. Subsequently, the Demon Hunter showed a powerful firepower far beyond the flagship of the Burning Legion, and the Holy Light Cannons that specialized in restraining evil energy roared in unison, and the main cannon was aimed at the huge green flagship, and the thick pure white light pillar with the power of the Holy Light directly penetrated the air defense line of the Burning Legion, easily tearing apart the evil energy chaos of the Burning Legion flagship, and directly beating the opponent's flagship to the ground!

Then, the dragon king Bahamut flew out of the dragon king island excitedly, looking at the dense enemy in front of him, his eyes lit up, this warlike dragon king directly showed a powerful battlefield ability in front of the anti-demon coalition army, and countless huge flying swords shot out, instantly cutting down a large area of the Burning Legion's air force.

Inspired by the Demon Hunter, the rest of the Anti-Demon Alliance's air forces mustered up their courage and howled to join the battle.

............

At the beginning of the battle, Edward had left Dalaran alone and arrived in Sulama, the famous city of the ancient Night Elves and the home of the Children of the Night.

Based on Khadgar's intelligence, Edward found Meredelle, a hidden cavern and a den of the Night Elves who were considered traitors and expelled by the Night Children of Sulamar City, not far from Sulamar City.

When Edward entered Sulama, he felt several spatial signs, and he directly used teleportation spells to enter this cave, and he was greeted by a large number of Night Child refugees gathered here, as well as a giant blue and white tree that exuded powerful mana.

"Who are you?"

Perhaps the Suramar refugees here didn't care about the humans who had emerged from the teleporters, but a robe Night Elf clenched the scythe in his hand and watched Edward warily.

"The giant tree that feeds on mana seems to contain a natural energy in it. Edward glanced at the Night Elf, focused his gaze on the giant tree, and said with great interest, "However, with such a one-sided way of feeding, this giant tree will not have a long lifespan, and once it reaches the limit of its growth, it is a bomb with powerful mana." ”

The Night Elves looked at Edward with their mouths open, unusually shocked.

He never imagined that a human would be able to see the future of Akandol with a single glance, and in fact, the Night Elves had such an experience.

"Are you the Edward Lee Khadgar spoke of?" the Night Elf quickly remembered the magical signal from Khadgar, in which Khadgar seemed to admire him.

"Hello, I'm Edward Lee, the head of the Demon Hunter Knights. Edward smiled and introduced himself, "I want to meet the leader here, the chief arcanist, Talissa. ”

"I'm Farodin. The Night Elf breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the scythe in his hand, "I need to confirm your identity before you meet Talissa. ”

"Oh, how do you want to be sure?"

"Quite simply, the Demon Hunter Knights have been of great help to us the Night Elves, and one of your commanders and an elite squad of the Demon Hunter Knights are here. Farrodin led Edward to a corner of the cavern and said, "If you're really the leader of the Demon Hunter Knights, I think he knows you." ”

"Oh, and the Demon Hunter here? He's ......."

Before Edward could finish speaking, he saw Kane's massive body appear in front of him. And he was followed by several Night Elf Demon Hunters.

As soon as he saw Edward, Kane's bull's eyes hidden in his helmet glared at the boss, and he said in an incredible tone: "Edward, are you really Edward?"

"Haha, long time no see, Kane. Edward stepped forward and hugged Kane, who was incredulous, and said, "Why are you here? I didn't hear from you in Rivendell, I only knew that you were in this area, and I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"I'm so glad to see you!" Kane quickly came back to his senses and laughed excitedly, "When the Burning Legion invaded again, I focused on Surama. Since this is a secret stronghold, I can't convey more information to the outside world, otherwise it would be easy for the Children of the Night to find out. ”

"How's Bane?"

"He's good, he's a great Minotaur chief now. Speaking of his son, Bane Bloodhoof, Kane couldn't hide his pride, "Now he's probably on the High Ridge, helping his fellow citizens there." ”

When Edward and Kane were catching up, a female Night Elf dressed in a gorgeous mage costume and holding a long staff had arrived, but she didn't disturb the two of them, and looked at Edward quietly.

"Ha, we can put our memories later, let me introduce you, this is the leader of the Night Elves, the former Chief Arcanist of the Children of the Night, Talissa. She was the first Child of the Night to oppose Elisandra's surrender to the Burning Legion, and we are now helping her to convince more of the Children of the Night to rebel against Elisandra's tyranny. ”

"Long admired the Great Name, Edward Lee. Talissa saluted Edward politely, "Without the help of Kane and the Demon Hunters, we simply wouldn't have been able to save so many of the Night Child refugees. It is also impossible to find a way to stop the Children of the Night, the fallen elves, from turning into withers. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ”

"You're welcome, it's our duty, Talisa Arcanist. Edward looked at the bottom of the cavern, and the emaciated Night Elves said, "Are they the witherers you are talking about?"

"That's right. Talissa sighed, "We Nightchildren have long lived in the energy of the Night Well, and our bodies require us to drink a lot of mana wine to maintain basic stability. If you lose the supply of mana, you will become a witherer over time, losing your sense of self, like the walking dead. ”

"And your solution is this giant tree?"

"Yes, this is the solution that Farodin has been looking for. "Although he says that this giant tree will one day bring great disaster, for now, I am our only hope." ”

Edward smiled and shook his head, "Haven't you seen the Dawn Elves yet? Why don't you learn from them?"

"Probably we're terminally ill. Talisa smiled bitterly, "Your light can't change our hunger and thirst. ”

Edward paused for a moment and looked at Kane.

The minotaur shook his head and said, "Talissa is right. Whether it is pure light or dark light, the Children of the Night still can't get rid of this addiction after learning it. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the demon hunters behind him, two of whom were Night Elves, and who possessed the hearts of Holy Light and Dark Light respectively.

Edward's eyes flashed as he looked at the two Night Child Demon Hunters.

"If the Light could cure the addiction of the Children of the Night, we wouldn't be cowering in this cramped cavern now. All the Children of the Night will rise up and overthrow Elisandr's rule. Kane sighed as Edward observed the gap between the two Night Child Witchers.

"It's not that hard. Edward observed for a moment and said something that surprised everyone.

"The addiction of the Children of the Night lies in the fact that magic has changed the structure of their bodies, so that their bodies cannot do without magic. Edward turned his gaze to Talissa, "While this can give the Children of the Night powerful magical abilities, it can also be said to be a degradation. ”

"Talisa Arcanist ......"

"You can just call me Talissa, Mr. Edward. ”

"Well, Talissa, are you Night Elves drinking Mana Liquor and asking for a lot less to eat?"

"That's right, that's right. Talissa humbly asked, "What's wrong with that?"

"This is what has changed to your Night Elves as they have been immersed in the energy of the Night Well for so long. Edward said, "The Light can indeed purify the body, but for those who are just learning the Light, the process takes a long time. ”

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the two Night Child Demon Hunters if their appetite has increased after practicing the Light?"

The two Demon Hunters, a man and a woman, nodded immediately.

This means that their bodies are slowly getting better. Edward explained, "All living things need energy to sustain themselves, and there are many different ways, but there is only one main way. ”

"For example, most of them rely on food to get the energy that their bodies need. Another example is some Void Beasts, who mainly rely on sucking energy to make a living. The increased appetite of these two Night Child Demon Hunters indicates that their primary method of obtaining energy is evolving from drinking magic wine to eating for ordinary people. ”

"I say that, do you understand?"

Talisa and Farodin pondered. After a long time, Talisa asked tentatively, "If, as you say, our solution to our addiction with the fruit of Akandol, the giant tree, is a palliative cure rather than a cure?"

"That's right. The consequence of this is to make you more dependent on Akandol and the Well of the Night, which is a shackle to you, and once the Well of Akandol or the Well of the Night are destroyed, how will you reproduce? ”

"Then what you can do......" Talissa's breathing was a little short, and she was a little nervous, she was afraid that Edward would say something like "I can't help it".

"Two ways. Edward held out two fingers and said, "One is to give me some time to create a meditation technique that uses the Holy Light to speed up self-healing." ”

"Another way is to let people with high-level holy light directly heal you, such as me. ”
