Even if the barrier protecting the city of Suramar is broken, the power of the Eye of Aman'Thul still flows throughout the city.
As the sole controller of this power, Elisande can receive great bonuses in his own city.
"Buzz!"
With the Dark Night Fortress as the center, a purple magic ripple spread rapidly outward.
Sarlayan, who had already joined Kael'thas and others, suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and golden scales appeared on his body like a stress.
"Whoosh!"
When this wave of magic power passed by, the high elves and children of the night who were fighting were frozen in place without distinction. Only Sarlayan looked up and looked around with a blank expression.
Sarlayan: "This is..."
[The time confinement function of the Eye of Aman'Thul, be careful! Elisande's real attack is coming! 】
Time Confinement is just an appetizer, the purpose is to restrain the enemy in place temporarily unable to move, and then the focus is on it.
The purple beam of light rushing toward the sky at the top of the Tower of Dark Night suddenly became a little dim, as if someone had intercepted part of its power.
From the corner of his eye, Sarlayan saw a bright light flashing in the direction of the Night Fortress. The next second, a thick and long purple light beam bombarded the high elf army that was temporarily unable to move.
In his haste, Sarlayan couldn't judge where the light beam would land, and he didn't dare to bet on whether it was Elisande's warning shot.
"Stella! Wake up!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
Little Xingxing, who was confused after being awakened, had no time to figure out the current situation when Sarlayan's anxious voice first broke into her ears.
"No time to explain! Quickly set up defensive barriers!"
Although she still didn't know what was going on, Stellagosa subconsciously followed Sharlayan's instructions.
A light blue arcane barrier rose, enveloping the high elves' army.
"boom!!"
Almost at the moment when the barrier was raised, the condensed purple energy beam bombarded the open space a few meters away from the military formation. The energy sputtered out shook the hastily raised barrier.
[Phew...it's a good thing it was a warning shot, otherwise this shot would have been enough to take away the entire elite army.]
[Damn it, the power of the Pillars of Creation is too overwhelming, it can actually suspend time on such a large scale. 】
[Otherwise? Where do you think the energy of the Dark Night Well comes from? 】
After all, Elisande is only a mortal, and the time limit in a wide area was not long, and the restraint was released after only a few seconds.
Kael'thas, who had just woken up from a dream, looked with lingering fear at the deep pit not far away that was still shining with purple energy arcs. His face became a little gloomy, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to Sharlayan, who had escaped from the restraints in advance.
"Salayan, what should we do next? Advance or retreat?"
Sarlayan looked up in the direction of the Night Fortress and said decisively: "Come in! With this scale of time confinement and energy bombardment, I don't believe Elisande can fire continuously in a short period of time."
"Let the high-level arcanists in the team be ready to join forces to release the defensive barrier at any time. Want to scare us away with the Pillar of Creation? It's not that easy."
After receiving Sharlayan's advice, Kael'thas turned to look at Voretar, and the old mage immediately began to gather people with understanding.
"Huh~"
Exhaling a breath, Kael'thas regained his elegant posture.
"Ms. Talisa, please lead the way. In order to avoid causing more serious misunderstandings, we must rush to the Night Fortress as soon as possible to communicate face-to-face with Elisande."
Talisa nodded solemnly: "Please follow me. My servant knows a secret passage that can sneak into the Dark Night Fortress from underground without having to face the threat of the Dark Night Tower."
Philia walked out from behind Talisa and led the way quickly. More than a thousand elite troops followed her through the streets and alleys, entering the underground of Suramar City through a sewer entrance.
Due to the obstruction of sight caused by a large number of buildings, Elisande could no longer capture the whereabouts of that astonishing army.
A person in a high position like Elisande would naturally not consider the defense of the sewers.
Fandus, the only one who was willing to put down his identity and guard, was still imprisoned by Elisande, and could only helplessly let out whimpering sounds, trying to arouse the idea of the Grand Magister.
Not long after, Melandus returned to the Dark Night Fortress with empty hands.
"Grand Magister, I'm sorry, we failed to capture Thalyssra."
"But we got some information from the injured guards nearby. They seem to have sneaked underground."
"underground……"
Elisande subconsciously looked at his feet, with a flash of thought in his eyes: "Is it a sewer?"
…
The sewers in any city are far from clean, even in independent city-states like Suramar where magic civilization is highly developed.
While advancing along the stinky waterway, Sarlayan and others encountered some arcane puppets used for automatic cleaning that were out of control due to disrepair.
Because the sewers are narrow, it is inconvenient for the army to pass through them in groups.
Led by Talisa's direct subordinates, the army of more than a thousand people was divided into more than a dozen squads and entered different passages to advance, but their final destination was the same.
The team led by Prince Kael'thas is of course the most elite, and Thalyssra, Sharlayan, Valeera, and Stellagosa also follow this team.
"Aha~ look what I found."
When the team turned an intersection, a neurotic mechanical voice with a hint of cruelty suddenly sounded.
A giant arcane puppet with bright yellow energy shining all over its body came from a distance. There were many short-circuit arcs flashing through the joints of its body, and its state was very unstable.
"Isn't this my dear master? You finally remembered me?"
Except for Talisa, everyone present was an outsider, and everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the Chief Arcanist.
Talisa hurriedly waved her hand and explained: "The owner it refers to is definitely not me. If I guessed correctly, this thing should be a high-end arcane puppet abandoned by some nobles."
Like the high elves, the nightborne also make extensive use of arcane golems.
The nobles of the Nightborne, who live a luxurious life, do not like arcane golems that have been used for a long time, and will discard them once they reach a certain age.
[Uh~ I still remember this foul-mouthed robot. It is the last gatekeeper boss in the sewer area of the Night Fortress. It seems to be called Trilliax, right? 】
Sarlayan roughly understood the origin of Trilliax through the barrage's narration.
Just as Thalyssra said, this thing once served a certain Nightborn dignitary. It gradually became worn out and was discarded into the sewers by its owner.
Over the long years, Trilliax's thinking circuit malfunctioned, and the personality simulated by the personality matrix became more and more distorted, and would instinctively "serve" everyone passing by as his master.
Not everyone can bear its "service".
Sarlayan curled his lips: "How come we met this guy by chance... We still have to hurry and demolish it as soon as possible."
Trilliax deliberately simulated a pitiful tone: "Master, are you going to abandon me again?"
"This is so...exciting!"
One second he was speaking in a humble tone, and the next second Trilliax rushed over with four legs spread out wildly, holding up his hands with a glow of energy, smiling strangely and preparing to smash the ground.
"Bang!"
Sarlayan, who was well prepared, suddenly charged out from the team, his thick shoulders pressed heavily on the armor on Trilliax's chest, and he pushed him back two steps with brute force.
"Oh~ how strong! How powerful! So wet!"
Sarlayan: "???"
【???】
[Damn it...this robot is indeed a high-end product that serves the nobles. Is it so stupid? It can actually speak pornographically? 】
But in the next second, Danmaku and Sharlayan realized what Trilliax meant by being wet.
"The ground is too wet and slippery and needs to be cleaned!"
"Start cleaning mode!"
A huge suction force suddenly came from Trilliax's body. Sarlayan subconsciously retreated a few steps, and a large amount of the filthy muddy water in the sewer was sucked into its cleaning bag.
Kael'thas suddenly had a bad premonition and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Could it be..."
Talisa cursed in a low voice using the dialect and slang of the Children of the Night, and then immediately reminded loudly: "Those who don't want to be sprayed with sewage in the face should come closer to me immediately!"
"Hahaha!"
Trilliax laughed nervously and sprayed out the collected sewage at once.
"Master, do you think this fresh magic wine tastes good enough?"
"Ugh~"
The stench that spread exponentially in the sewer made Valeela, who was hiding in the defensive barrier, turn pale and retching.
"It tastes so good, it tastes so good, it tastes so good... I want to tear you apart immediately!"
