Sun Island in the northwest of Quelthalas has become a gathering place for the undead. After the undead army pushed Queldanas Island, most of the undead were driven away by their leader, Death Knight Alsace, and returned here along the ice bridge when it was attacking.
If there were Rangers' Dragon Eagle Scouts to investigate from the sky, they could find that the Sun-Chasing Island island was now covered with dense undead! They occupied almost every spare place on the island. Whether it was the Tower of the Sun, the shrine of the King of the First High Elves, or the Fasselin Academy, they had all been wantonly destroyed by the undead and turned into ruins!
On this peaceful and peaceful island in the past, even those wild animals, whether they are tree people, bobcats, or mana floating dragons, except for a few who escaped into the mountains by chance, almost all the others were killed by the undead! Now, except for the undead, there are only some broken eaves and walls left in Zhuri Island...
Death Knight Arthas, who is leading a group of high-level undead standing on a hill, staring and observing the northwest gate of Silver Moon City in the distance.
Above the tall city walls, there were high elves busy preparing defensive materials. Under the other party's city walls, the open spaces were covered with pits of various sizes and simple horse-rejected horses made of rough wood. Even outside the gate, the magnificent sea-crossing bridge had been blown up by the high elves themselves!
"Hmph! A bunch of stupid long-eared elves!"
Seeing these measures taken by the high elves to defend their attacks, the Death Knight Arthas sneered disdainfully! If their elves felt that they could defend against the attack of the undead army under Arthas by just this, they would have thought it was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong!
What are the effects of those horse-rejecting horses and trenches and pits on the sea of ​​undead? With only a few breaths, the skeleton zombies can be filled with their bodies!
As for the bombed elves cross-sea bridge, it was even more ridiculous! The reason why he chose to return to Zhuri Island and prepare to attack Silver Moon City here instead of attacking Silver Moon City directly from the north was because he was attracted by the narrow shallow trench here!
Alsace had already planned that when he was about to take out the attack, he only needed to take out the sorrow of Frost and completely freeze this shallow trench. This not only saved the power of sorrow of Frost and no longer had to worry about the other party's destruction like the ice bridge built directly on the sea! After frozen this small trench, his undead army could flood the city in just a moment. How could they still need the broken bridge that they bombed?
Now, the only thing that is a little trouble may be the magic defense shield in the other party’s city! However, this shield is just a small problem for him, Alsace!
Because, behind him now, there were a large group of high-level undead mages! In addition to the legendary lich Kel Thuzad who had just resurrected from the well of the Sun, Arthas also ordered the undead to loot all the corpses of the high-level elves mages in the second half of the night. After Kel Thuzad came out, he threw all the corpses into the well of the Sun again, and kept tossing until it was almost dawn!
So, the magic power that Arthas now possesses in his hand has the legendary lich Kel Thuzad, and also includes a whole former high-level elves mage group! That is more than 300 high-level elves undead wizards!
Although he hated these long-eared elves in his heart, it has to be said that after they turned into necromancers, they were still very useful to him. Although most of them had no knowledge of magic from their lifetime, they could only be regarded as a group of puppets, their magic power was still strong! They could barely be regarded as a trump card in his hand!
So, now Arthas is fully confident in capturing Silver Moon City! What if there is a half-body magic god in the other city? She can withstand the bombardment of a legendary lich and more than 300 high-level wizards alone?
Besides, now the source of their elves' energy, the well of the Sun, has been completely polluted by the large amount of plague thrown into by Arthas!
At this time, can the other party use the energy of the Sun Well? And how much magic energy is there in their city? He had interrogated the bed bug in Dalkan before. The high elves were used to the existence of the Sun Well. Silver Moon City did not store too many magic crystals or other energy gems, and those things were more processed into beautiful jewelry by them!
Looking at the high elves who were still busy on the city wall in the distance, Alsace began to sneer! So, now, with the other party's energy supply interrupted and his reserves were insufficient, how long can their elves hold on to this Silver Moon City? Is it half an hour? Or maybe, when his undead army rushed over, they will be directly captured?
I heard that there are nearly 200,000 long-eared elves in this Silver Moon City. Since this is the case, he can take some time to settle the city, kill all the elves, and then add 200,000 death army to himself, go south to Lordaeron and go to Dalaran. It will not be too late to find a way to complete the tasks assigned by the Lich King at that time!
...
On the wall of the northwest gate of Silver Moon City, the last senior general of the Kingdom of Quelthalas, the Ranger General Sylvanas? Wind Walker is also here. She is frowning at the countless undead army on the Sun Island in the distance...
When the sky was almost dawn, she had received the only Dragon Eagle scout who broke through the undead air from the east and sent back the information: the high elves on Queldanas Island have now been wiped out! King Anastalian would rather die and eventually led all members of the Silver Moon City Council to fight to the end and all died heroically!
The Ranger General also knew that some of them could actually use teleportation spells to escape back to Silver Moon City first. Whether it was teleportation spells or teleportation runes, the king and the nobles of the parliament must have no shortage. However, no one of them chose to do that...
In the past, Sylvanas, who had been fighting on the front line of trolls for many years, had once hated the group of parliamentary nobles who could only hide in the city and procrastinate, and was also disgusted with their life of indulging in pleasure and extravagance! She had thought before that they were just a group of gangsters who could only enjoy and not do things!
But now, for the first time, the Ranger General felt that they were actually worthy of the name of warriors! Look, at the moment of crisis, when the claws of the undead came, they did not choose to escape, but faced their responsibilities and regained their honor. They were all worthy of the name of high elves!
With the arrival of the Dragon Eagle Scout, there was also a final letter of appointment from King Anastarien. The content was short and the handwriting was written in a hurry. Sylvanas could imagine how bad the battle situation was at that time!
In addition to the king's hasty handwritten letters and signature letters, there are only two short passages on the arrival of the appointment: This is the appointment, Sylvanas? Wind Walker is the Grand Duke of Silver Moon City, and is in charge of the military and political affairs of Quelthalas!
Then, next to the king's signature and seal, Sylvanas also saw a line of small words: Quel'thalas will never perish, and the high elves will never sink into it!
At that time, after reading the letter of appointment, she sighed deeply. At that moment, Sylvanas felt the burden on her shoulders being unprecedentedly heavy!
Because she probably understood what King Anastalian meant, and he wanted her to preserve the fire of the high elves no matter what! In any case, the high elves must not be destroyed! This is the king of a high elves, who begged her before he died!
“…”
Sylvanas stared at the densely packed dead souls in the distance and was silent for a while. After looking at the mountain in the distance, the Death Knights and their group who were also watching Silver Moon City, she finally made up her mind.
"Lothama, Silver Moon City will definitely not be able to defend. You will lead a hundred rangers and all the recruits and wounded. Now organize the citizens to retreat from the south gate of Silver Moon City. Remember to bring all the food and other necessities you can bring. After going out, go east and retreat to the bay on the tower of Slather. Now, there is only one place left in Quelthalas, which is not poisoned by the undead..."
After knowing that Silver Moon City could no longer be defended, Sylvanas finally issued an order for a great retreat. Perhaps, from today on, this beautiful Silver Moon City, the magic pearl that the high elves had existed for thousands of years, will no longer exist.
"Dude..." Rothema was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Sylvanas.
"You should call me general. After today, Silver Moon City will probably no longer exist. What's the use of this Duke of Silver Moon City? Go, remember to collect enough ships as much as possible and set up a sentry tower at the intersection leading to the Tower of Das Rather. If necessary..., just like that, you are already a ranger lord. I believe you will know how to do it. We will delay you enough time in Silver Moon City. Do you understand?"
With less than 3,000 troops stationed in Yinyue City, she was still polluted by the Sun Well and the city's protective shield energy was powerless and could no longer be used. She now had no hope of defending the city! She only hoped to buy enough time for the high elves who retreated to the Eastern Gulf! In this way, it was enough!
"General! Let me guard the city! You go and organize the citizens to retreat!" Lothemma also knew that this must be a life-threatening task, or even a lifeless one! Now, it should be his turn to do something.
Moreover, he also knew that Ranger General Sylvanas had been fighting the undead since the first line of defense!
From the Elf Gate to Takulin, and from Takulin to the Eastern Temple, she has been fighting for two consecutive days and nights! Even after returning to Silver Moon City for half a day and one night, she is mostly busy with defense and has not had much time to rest!
"This is an order! Go! Remember to open the ordnance equipment library and distribute weapons and equipment to the retreating citizens! Go now, right now!"
Sylvanas is now like an angry bobcat. He just glared at him and was so scared that Rothema shivered. Finally, he could only sigh in his heart, turn around with tears, and go to execute this possible final order.
...
"Wow! I heard that those smelly undead are about to come to attack the city?"
Shortly after Rothema left, Anne came to the city wall of the northwest gate with a teleportation spell. Because the elf maid who served her had just woken her up in the room and left after preparing her a final breakfast. Now the undead army is about to attack the city, and the maid is about to follow the retreating citizens to the bay of Darthvith Tower in the east.
"Annie, you are here." Seeing the teleportation spell lit up beside her, Sylvanas suddenly tensed up all over. After seeing the person coming was Little Annie, he relaxed again and said hello.
"Huh? Why are there so many undeads?" After seeing the dark undeads on Sun-Chasing Island in the distance, Annie was frightened! There are too many! How many are there? Hundreds of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands?
"Because Queldanas Island has been captured by the undead, their number... is probably increased a lot."
Sylvanas looked at the zombies with dull expressions in the distance. A large part of them were the original high elves! It is obvious that after destroying the elves defenders on Queldanas Island, the Death Knight resurrected them...
"I will definitely not be able to defend this! Then why don't you run away quickly!"
Anne has now discovered the abnormality in Silver Moon City. It seems that there is a big problem with the source of magic that they provide energy! With the cut off energy and the attacks of so many undead spirits who are fearless of death, no one can defend this city, let alone the defenders of two or three thousand people!
"We can't retreat yet. We need to buy some time for the retreating citizens. By the way, Annie, can you still release the kind of flame magic that you were from yesterday?" General Ranger looked at the little girl expectantly. If the other party could still release the magic of destruction, maybe they could still buy half a day?
"No! Such a spell is very magical! I put it in too haste yesterday, and at least half of the magic power was wasted! Now it can at most release a large-scale rain of flames, and there will be no more!" When I heard that the other party wanted to pay attention, Annie quickly shook her head and refused!
Just kidding, yesterday's super-large-range mixed spell of the flame storm and the flame rain was very magical! It can be said to be the category of forbidden spells. If such a spell is thrown into Silver Moon City, the city may have been burned to white! That's a magic that can destroy a city!
Besides, Annie cast it was too urgent at that time. After all, the Death Knight was eyeing her and almost slashed herself alive! In a hurry, Annie was still concerned about whether to waste it? So much so that her magic reserves are now less than half of her heyday, and it will take at least many days of recovery!
"So, then, Anne, you will cast a Rain of Fire for us in a while, and then you can retreat first." Sylvanas also knew that there was no more suitable way to deal with these dense undead spirits than this large-scale continuous spell.
"Huh? Yes! But..., the one on the hill opposite is the bad guy who rode yesterday, right?" Annie also noticed the group of undead standing on a mountain bag in the distance.
"That's right! That's the Death Knight!"
"Okay! I finally caught him! He was the one who injured my little bear Tibers yesterday! I will never forgive him!" As soon as he finished speaking, Annie took out the authority key of the mage tower handed over to her by the elves yesterday. She now wants to give the bad guy a good look under the spell strengthening resonance of the Silver Moon City mage tower!
Magic is extremely effective: Strengthen energy gathering!
A small red magic circle lit up at Annie's feet, and then with the cooperation of the authority key, the mage tower near the northwest gate of Silver Moon City also began to light up together.
Magic enhancement: Spell acceleration!!
Another magic circle lit up, and Little Annie's entire body seemed to lit up. Her approach scared the high-level wizard of Fellundley, who was also accompanying the Ranger General to observe the enemy situation at the Northwest Gate! With such a strong magic fluctuation, what exactly does this little girl want to do? What magic is she using?
Magical state: calm and relaxed!!!
"Hmph! A bad guy riding a horse! Eat me and calm down and feel the most effective magic: super flame explosion technique!" Annie suddenly floated up, then opened her eyes, pushed her hands flat, and shouted towards Bao Bao in the distance!
As soon as Annie finished speaking, a giant hot fire ball instantly spurted out on her hands. With the help of the Mage Tower and the blessing of Annie, the demigod, this extremely breathing and breathing technique was almost as big as the elves' city gate, and it was surprisingly bright! Under the red flame outside, it emitted white light. Obviously, the energy and temperature inside it were not as high as that of an ordinary high!
...
"Kelthuzad, how are those long-eared screenings?"
Looking at the Silver Moon City in the distance, Alsace began to smile grimly. Just now he thought of a good note. He decided to first select the elves and undeads, and then let them attack the city first, so that they can fight with long ears and long ears!
"Dear King Alsace, the number of 60,000 or 70,000 has been screened out now. It is a little short of the 100,000 you requested. I believe it will be... bad! Your Majesty, be careful!"
Before Kelthuzad could finish reporting, he found a trace of magic power fluctuation flashed on the city gate in the distance. He was not too worried at first. After all, the distance was a little far away. I believe that there was no effective spell at this distance that could attack, and the large-scale spells that could hit here were not just the current fluctuations! Therefore, he did not care too much.
But he thought that the other party actually lost such a large flame explosion technique at such a long distance? It was so fast? He even used the city defense magic tower to help release single-body spells? This is both a foul and a waste! Can single-body spells be played like this?
Therefore, Kel Thuzad had only time to cover himself, Alsace, and the necromancers within more than ten yards around him. As for those who were farther apart, he couldn't take care of it for the time being!
boom!!!
After a huge explosion, the small hill and the more than 100 yards of surrounding area were instantly swallowed by flames. Except for the frost shields covered by Kel Thujad and those undead wizards who reacted a little faster and knew how to save themselves, the other undead were swallowed by the explosion of flames! With this move, Alsace lost at least more than a hundred new undead wizards and thousands of undead warriors!
"Damn mage! Pass my order! Start attacking! Destroy this city!" Walked out of the frost shield, and the slightly embarrassed death knight Alsace ordered the undead angrily.
At the same time, he also raised the sadness of the artifact in his hand, and the blue light of ice began to gather on the sword. When the undead army was about to rush to the shallow strait, he waved it hard in time, and instantly slashed a blue and white sword light from the sword body, slashing hard on the sea surface, instantly frozen this strait, which was not too spacious or too deep, into a hard ice surface...
"Everyone! Get ready to defend! Magic bombs, cover the front shooting! Ferundrey, immediately turn on the city shield!" After seeing the undead finally start attacking, Sylvanas also began to shout loudly and issue battle orders!
A huge violet hemispherical shield began to wrap up Silver Moon City. Countless undeads were crowded outside the shields. Countless magic bombs were thrown out, blowing the crowded undead into pieces and shattering corpses. Magic arrows were also shot out by the rangers and constantly, igniting or exploding every undead who was hit...
At the same time, the sky began to turn red. The flames that Anne had promised had finally arrived in time. Then, waves of flame rain began to fall outside the northwest gate. Flame meteorites of all sizes were smashed down. After each fireball landed, it could clear a small area of ​​the undead. The remaining flames could also have a significant impact on the zombie skeletons that would cross later.
"The Necromancers! Bomb the shield! The energy in their city can't last long!"
In the distance, Kel Thuzad, who had been rectified, also led the remaining more than 100 undead wizards and began to bombard evil black magic balls on the shield. After the continuous black magic balls hit the violet shield, it made a dull explosion sound, and it also hit the surface of the shield, causing waves of ripples like water patterns.
The battle in full swing has officially begun...
...
On the moat bridge outside the south gate of Silver Moon City, Anne was sitting on the shoulder of Tibers, who had turned into a giant flame bear, and was waiting bored at the city gate bridge. After using the little magic power left to release the flame rain that could last for nearly half an hour, she retreated directly here. After all, she didn't have much magic power anymore, and she wouldn't be able to help even if she stayed in the city.
"Tibers, when will they retreat here?"
The battle has lasted for more than two hours. Now the undead have rushed into Silver Moon City and occupied a small half of the city in the northwest. Now the elves are resisting while retreating towards the south gate of the city.
The last group of elves had just run out. Annie has now prepared her teleportation spells, and she plans to teleport them away collectively after they retreat. Then she can no longer help! The magic blue strips are about to run out!
They can retreat here within half an hour. You might as well think about whether there are any attack methods.
Tibers scratched his head boredly. There were too many undead, so he didn't dare to go up and fight! The number of ants bites to death is not a blow! What's more, the Death Knight is so powerful!
"Where are there any attack methods? Tibers! You don't know! My magic is almost used up! There are only enough teleportation a few times!" Anne stood up from Tibers' shoulder and began to look towards the city through the wide open gate.
I remember you still have a lot of magic items...
"It's really gone! Apart from the space gem, a staff, and a time gem, there's really nothing else! If you don't believe me, I'll go to you!" Anyway, I'm idle, and Anne began to search in her space pocket. Apart from the three things she mentioned and a bunch of food and clothing, there was really nothing useful.
"Huh? Tibers, what is this? When did it be collected?"
Annie suddenly discovered a strange large cylindrical object lying in one of her small half-planes, with flames still spraying on her tail. There was also a countdown of ten seconds in the small display screen on it. However, since the time in this half-planes was stagnant, it kept lying inside and not moving. It seemed that this thing had been left for a long time...
Well... I remember, it seemed like you were in New York when you were fighting with the demigod mage on the roof of the tin man's house? That's right! This seems like the bombs fired by the humans on Earth that were planning to blow up the portal?
Tibers thought for a while and added: After defeating the Cherytas, didn’t the bald Uncle Colson ask you about this? At that time, you also thought about letting it go back to them. At that time, they scared their group of people and refused to go back. They even told you not to let it go again. I remember correctly, right?
"Huh? I remembered it too. It seems that such a thing is indeed happening! It seems that after the countdown is over, it will explode? Then, Tibers, in a while, should we throw it out and blow up the undead?"
It should be OK? Anyway, it's just a bomb. I think it should be no less powerful than your extremely effective explosive flame technique. It doesn't matter. If you like it, throw it into this city to play.
Tibers doesn't understand this bomb very much, but based on the size of the bomb, you can roughly guess its power. Even if it really explodes, it probably won't have much power, right?
"Okay! Then, after you release it a while, the head with three black funnel signs is the direction of travel, right?"
That's right! Its tail is spraying with flames, and it must have been flying with the recoil force of the flames. It's absolutely right if you throw its head with three funnel marks into the city! I think it won't blow us up! - For this, Tibers is very sure!
"Okay! Then we made a happy decision like this! When the elder sister Sylvanas and the others ran out and teleported away, I would throw it into the city! Blast the hateful undead to death! Humph!"
Annie thought that judging from the nervous performance of Uncle Colson and his team at that time, the power should be quite good, right? No matter what, it should be able to kill hundreds of undead within a range of one or two hundred yards, right?
