Chapter 90 Huh! What Is This?

The Isle of Sunstrider in the northwest of Quel'Thalas has become a gathering place for the undead. After the undead army flattened Quel'Danas Island, most of the undead were driven away by their commander, the death knight Arthas. Then, he returned here along the ice bridge from the original attack.

If the Ranger's Dragonhawk scouts scout from high altitude, they can find that the island of Sun Chaser Island is already covered with densely packed undead! They occupy almost every vacant space on the island, whether it is the Tower of the Sun, the shrine of Dath'Remar, the first high elf king, or the Fatherin College, all of which have been vandalized by the undead. Turned into a ruin!

On this peaceful and peaceful island in the past, even those wild animals, whether they were treants, lynxes, or mana dragons, were almost all given away by the undead, except for a few who escaped to the deep mountains by chance. Killed! Now, on Sun Chaser Island, apart from the undead, there are only some ruins left...

Death Knight Alsace, he is leading a group of high-level undead standing on a small hill, watching and observing the northwest gate of Silvermoon City in the distance.

On the tall city wall, there are full of high elves who are busy preparing defense materials, and under the other side's city wall, the open spaces are also covered with large and small potholes and simple barriers made of rough wood. , Even outside the gate, the magnificent sea-crossing bridge has been blown up by the high elves themselves!

"Hmph! A group of stupid elves with long ears!"

Seeing the measures taken by the high elves to defend against their own attacks, the death knight Alsace sneered disdainfully! If the elves think that this alone can defend against the attack of his undead army under Alsace, then they are wrong, and they are wrong!

What do those repelling horses and trenches and potholes do to the sea of ​​undead? All it takes is an order from Alsace, and in just a few breaths, those skeleton zombies can fill up with their bodies!

As for the blown-up elf cross-sea bridge, it's even more ridiculous! The reason why he chose to return to Zhusun Island and prepare to attack Silvermoon City here instead of directly attacking Silvermoon City from the north is because he took a fancy to the narrow shallow trench here!

Alsace had already calculated that when he was about to attack, he only needed to take out Frostmourne to completely freeze this shallow trench. This would not only save Frostmourne's power, but also completely avoid Like the ice bridge built directly on the sea, you will worry about the destruction of the other party! And after freezing this small trench, his army of undead can flood the city in just a moment, so why would they need the dilapidated bridge that was blown up by them?

Now, the only troublesome thing may be the magic defense shield in the opponent's city! However, this shield is just a small trouble for him, Alsace!

Because, standing behind him now is a large group of high-ranking necromancers! In addition to the legendary Lich Kel'Thuzad who had just been resurrected from the Sunwell, Arthas ordered the undead to search for all the corpses of the high elf mages in the second half of the night, and then waited for Kel'Thuzad to come out. , Throwing all these corpses into the Well of the Sun again, and tossing and tossing until almost dawn before the work is over!

Therefore, the magic power that Alsace now holds in his hands includes Kel'Thuzad, the legendary lich, plus a whole group of former high elf mages! There are more than 300 high-level elf necromancers!

Although he hated these long-eared elves very much, he had to say that after their long ears became necromancers, they were still very useful to him, Alsace! Although most of them have no previous knowledge of spells and can only be regarded as a group of puppets, their spell power is still powerful! It can barely be regarded as a trump card in Alsace's hand!

so,

Alsace now has full confidence in capturing Silvermoon City! So what if there is a half-length Dharma God in the opponent's city? Can she alone withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of a legendary lich and more than 300 high-level wizards?

Besides, now the energy source of their elves - the Sunwell, has been completely polluted by the large amount of plague that Alsace threw into him!

At this time, whether the other party can use the energy of the Sunwell is still open to debate! And how much magical energy is stored in their city? He had interrogated the bug in Darkan before. The high elves were used to the existence of the Sunwell, and Silvermoon City didn't have too many magic crystals or other energy gems. They are processed into beautiful jewelry!

Looking at the high elves who were still busy on the city wall in the distance, Arthas began to sneer! So, now, with the opponent's energy supply interrupted and their own reserves insufficient, how long can the elves hold on to this Silver Moon City? Is it half an hour? Still an hour? Or maybe, when his undead army rushes over, it will be directly breached?

I heard that there are nearly 200,000 long-eared elves in this Silver Moon City. If this is the case, then he can spend some time to pacify the city first, kill all the elves, and then add more elves to himself. After the 200,000 dead army, go south to Lordaeron, to Dalaran, and then it will not be too late to find a way to complete the task assigned by the Lich King!

...

On the wall of the northwest gate of Silvermoon City, the last high-ranking general of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner is also here. The undead army...

When the sky was about to dawn, she had already received the information from the only Dragonhawk scout who broke through the air blockade of the undead from the east and circled around a big circle to send back information: the high elves on Quel'Danas Island are now all dead. Annihilated! King Anasterian would rather die than retreat, and finally led all members of the Silvermoon City Council to fight to the end, and all sacrificed heroically!

General Ranger also knew that some of them could actually use teleportation spells to escape back to Silvermoon City first. Whether it was teleportation spells or teleportation rune stones, kings and parliamentarians must not be short of nobles. However, none of them chose to do that...

In the past, Cirvanas, who had been fighting on the front line of killing trolls all year round as a ranger general, hated the group of parliamentary nobles who only hid in the city and procrastinated. life! She used to think that they were all just a bunch of bastards who could only have fun and didn't know how to do things!

However, now, for the first time, General Ranger feels that they are actually worthy of the name of warriors! Look, at the moment of crisis, when the claws of the undead approached, none of them chose to escape, but faced their responsibilities and regained their honor. They are all worthy of the name of high elves !

Along with the Dragonhawk scout came, there was also a letter of commission from King Anasterian. The content on it was very short and the handwriting was hasty. Cirvanas could imagine the battle situation at that time. How bad is it!

Apart from the king's hasty handwriting and signature, the incoming letter of appointment only contained two short sentences: I hereby appoint Sylvanas Windrunner as the Grand Duke of Silvermoon City, in charge of Quel'Thalas' military administration. !

Later, next to the king's signature and seal, Cirvanas also saw a line of small words: Quel'Thalas will never perish, and the high elves will never perish!

At that time, after reading the commission letter, she sighed deeply. At that moment, Cirvanas felt the burden on her shoulders was unprecedentedly heavy!

Because she probably understood what King Anasterian wanted, and he wanted her to keep the fire of the high elves no matter what! In any case, the high elves must not be allowed to perish! This is a high elf king's plea to her before he died!

"..."

Cirvanas stared at the densely packed undead in the distance and was silent for a while, and then looked at the death knight party on the hill in the distance who were also watching Silvermoon City, she finally made up her mind.

"Lor'themar, Silvermoon City will definitely not be able to defend it. You lead a hundred rangers and all the recruits and wounded. Now organize the citizens to evacuate from the south gate of Silvermoon City. Remember, you must bring All the food and other necessities that can be brought, go directly east after going out, and evacuate the bay on the side of the Tower of Dathlaser. Now, we in Quel'Thalas are only left with that side that has not been poisoned by the undead... ..."

After knowing that Silvermoon City could no longer be defended, Cirvanas finally gave the order to evacuate. Perhaps, starting today, this beautiful Silvermoon City, the magic pearl that the high elves have existed for thousands of years, will be will cease to exist.

"My lord duke..." Lor'themar was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Cirvanas raising his hand.

"You should still call me General. After today, Silvermoon City will probably cease to exist. What use is it for me to have the Duke of Silvermoon City? Go ahead, remember to collect enough ships as much as possible, and go to the Set up sentry towers at the intersection of Dathrath's Tower, if necessary..., that's it, you are already a ranger lord, I believe you will know what to do, we will be in Silvermoon City, here Give you enough time to delay, do you understand?"

With only less than 3,000 troops stationed in Silvermoon City, and the Sunwell was polluted, and the energy of the city's protective shield was weak and unusable, now she, Cirvanas, had no intention of defending the city. hope! Now, she just wants to buy enough time for the retreating high elves, enough time for them to retreat to the Eastern Gulf! that's it!

"General! Let me defend the city! You go and organize the citizens to retreat!" Lor'themar also knew that this must be a mission with a narrow escape, or even ten deaths! Now, it was his turn to do something about Lor'themar.

Moreover, he also knew that Ranger General Cirvanas, since the first line of defense, has been fighting the undead with all her life!

She has been fighting from the Elven Gate to the Taquilin, and from the Taquilin to the Eastern Temple. She has been fighting for two consecutive days and nights! Even during the half day plus one night when she returned to Silvermoon City, she was mostly busy with defense, so she didn't have much time to rest!

"This is an order! Go! Remember to open the armory and distribute weapons and equipment to the retreating citizens! Go now, immediately!"

The current Cirvanas is like an angry lynx. Lor'themar trembled in fright just by glancing at him. In the end, he could only sigh in his heart, turn around with tears in his eyes, and go to execute what may be the last order. .

...

"Wow! I heard that those smelly undead are coming to attack the city?"

Not long after Lor'themar left, Annie came to the city wall of the northwest gate with a teleportation spell. Because the elf maid who served her had just come to the room to wake her up, and left after preparing her a final breakfast. Right now, the undead army is about to attack the city, and the maid will also follow the retreating citizens to the Darthwether's Tower Bay in the east.

"Annie, it's you." Seeing the teleportation spell lighting up beside him, Cirvanas suddenly tensed up all over his body. After seeing that it was Little Annie, he relaxed again, and then greeted him.

"Huh? Why are there so many undead?" Seeing the dark undead on Sun Chaser Island in the distance, Annie was frightened! This is too much! How much does this have to be? One hundred thousand? Or hundreds of thousands?

"Because the island of Quel'Danas has been breached by the undead, their number... I'm afraid it has increased a lot."

Cirvanas looked at the zombies with dull expressions in the distance, most of them were original high elves! Obviously, after the death knight wiped out the elven defenders on the island of Quel'Danas, they resurrected them...

"This is definitely unstoppable! Why don't you hurry up and run away!"

Anne has also discovered the abnormality in Silvermoon City now, it seems that there is a big problem with the magic source that they supply energy with! With the energy cut off and under the attack of so many undead who are not afraid of death, no one can defend the city, let alone the defenders who only have two or three thousand people!

"We can't retreat now. We need to buy some time for the retreating citizens. By the way, Anne, can you still release the flame magic that you did yesterday?" General Ranger looked at the little girl expectantly. If they use a spell that will destroy the world, maybe they can buy half a day more time?

"No way! That kind of spell consumes mana! I cast it too hastily yesterday, and at least half of the mana was wasted! Now I can release a rain of flames in a large area at most, and there will be no more!" The other party even wanted to call her attention, Annie quickly shook her head and refused!

Just kidding, yesterday's super-large-scale mixed spell of flame storm and flame rain consumes a lot of mana! That can be said to be the category of forbidden spells. If such spells were thrown into Silver Moon City, the city might have been burned to nothingness! That is magic that can destroy a city!

Besides, what Annie cast was too urgent at that time, after all, the death knight was watching and almost hacked herself alive! In a hurry, how could Annie care about not wasting money on the waves? So much so that now her own magic power reserve is less than half of what it was in its heyday, at least it will take many days to recover!

"That's it, then, Annie, you can help us cast a rain of flames for a while, and then you can retreat first." Cirvanas also knows the rain of flames spell, and he can deal with these densely packed spells. There is nothing more suitable than this large-scale continuous spell for the undead.

"Huh? Yes! But... the one on the hill opposite is the villain riding a horse from yesterday?" Annie also noticed the group of undead standing on a hill in the distance.

"That's right! It's the death knight!"

"Wow! I finally caught him! He was the one who hurt my little bear Tibbers yesterday! I will never spare him!" Just as she finished speaking, Annie took out the gift that the elves gave her yesterday. The authority key of the mage tower, she is now going to give that villain on horseback a good look under the spell strengthening resonance of the mage tower of Silvermoon City!

Ultimate magic effect: strengthen energy gathering!

A small red magic circle lit up under Annie's feet, and with the cooperation of the authority key, the Mage Tower near the northwest gate of Silvermoon City also began to light up.

Magic Enhancement: Spell Acceleration! !

Another magic circle lit up, and Little Annie's whole body seemed to light up. Her action shocked the high-ranking mage Fiorendre who was also accompanying General Ranger to observe the enemy's situation on the northwest gate! With such strong magic fluctuations, what exactly does this little girl want to do? What spell was cast?

Magic state: Calm and relaxed! ! !

"Hmph! Badass riding a horse! Eat my most powerful magic: super explosive fire!" Annie suddenly floated up, then opened her eyes, pushed her hands flat, and shouted coquettishly towards the small hill in the distance !

As soon as Annie finished speaking, a giant scorching fireball shot out from her hands in an instant. With the assistance of the mage tower and the blessing of Annie, a demigod, this calm and extremely effective explosive flame technique almost had an elf The city gate is as big as it is, and it is surprisingly bright! Under the red flame outside, it exudes white light inside. Obviously, the energy and temperature contained in it are not generally high!

...

"Kel'Thuzad, how are those long-eared ones doing?"

Looking at Silvermoon City in the distance, Alsace began to grin. Just now he thought of a good idea. He decided to screen out those undead elves first, and then let them attack the city first, let them grow ears Let's fight each other with Long Ears!

"His Majesty the King of Alsace, about 60,000 to 70,000 people have been screened out, which is still a little short of the 100,000 you requested. I believe it will be soon... Not good! Your Majesty, be careful!"

Before Kel'Thuzad could finish his report, he noticed a wave of magic power flashing above the city gate in the distance. At first, he wasn't too worried. After all, the distance is a bit far away. I believe there is no effective spell that can attack at this distance. And the large-scale spells that can hit here are not just fluctuating at this point! Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But how did he think that the opponent threw such a big Pyroblast at such a long distance? Still so fast? Even using the city defense magic tower to assist in releasing single-body spells? This is both foul and wasteful! Can single-body spells still be played like this?

Therefore, Kel'Thuzad only had time to cover himself, Alsace, and the necromancers within more than ten yards in a huge frost shield. As for those who were farther away, he temporarily ignored them. up!

boom! ! !

After a huge explosion, the small hill and the surrounding area of ​​more than a hundred yards were instantly engulfed in flames. Except for those necromancers who were covered in a frost shield by Kel'Thuzad and those necromancers who reacted a little faster and knew how to save themselves, the others All the undead were devoured by the flames that exploded! Alsace lost more than a hundred new necromancers and thousands of undead warriors in just this one move!

"Damn mage! Give me orders! Start attacking! Destroy this city!" Walking out of the frost shield, Alsace, a slightly embarrassed death knight, ordered angrily to the undead.

At the same time, he also raised the artifact Frostmourne in his hand, and ice-blue light began to gather on the sword. When the undead army was about to rush to the shallow strait, he swung it forcefully in time, from A blue-white sword light split out from the blade of the sword in an instant, and slashed fiercely on the sea surface, instantly freezing the strait, which was originally not too spacious and not too deep, into a hard ice surface...

"Everyone! Prepare to defend! Magic bombs, cover the front and shoot! Firendre, activate the city shield immediately!" Seeing that the undead finally started to attack, Cirvanas also started to shout loudly, ordering battles one by one. Order!

A huge violet hemispherical shield began to envelop Silvermoon City. Countless undead crowded outside the shield, and countless magic bombs were thrown out, blasting the crowded undead into pieces. The rangers and the magic arrows were also constantly shot out, igniting or exploding every undead hit...

At the same time, the sky began to turn red, and the flames that Anne had promised before finally arrived in time, and then, a rain of flames began to fall outside the northwest gate, and large and small flame meteorites fell on the sky. After falling down, each fireball can clear a small area of ​​undead after landing, and the remaining flames can also have a considerable impact on the subsequent zombie skeletons.

"Necromancers! Bombard that shield! The energy in their city won't last long!"

In the distance, the rectified Kel'Thuzad also led the remaining one hundred necromancers, and began to continuously bombard the shield with evil black magic balls. The continuous black magic balls hit the violet After the shield was put on, there was a dull explosion sound, and at the same time, it also hit the surface of the shield to cause ripples like water ripples.

The battle in full swing has officially begun...

...

On the moat bridge outside the south gate of Silvermoon City, Annie was sitting on the shoulders of Tibbers, who had turned into a huge flaming bear, waiting boredly at the city gate bridge. After the magic power released the rain of flames that lasted for nearly half an hour, she retreated here directly. After all, her magic power was not much, and staying in the city would not be of much help.

"Tibbers, when will they retreat here?"

The battle has lasted for more than two hours. Now the undead have rushed into Silvermoon City and occupied a small half of the city in the northwest. Now the elves are resisting and retreating towards the south gate of the city.

The last batch of elf citizens just ran out, and Annie is now ready to teleport spells, and she plans to teleport them away collectively after they retreat, and then she can't help anymore! The magic blue bar is about to run out!

Within half an hour, they will be able to retreat here, you should think about whether there is any means of attack.

Tibbers scratched his head boredly, there were so many undead, it didn't dare to go shopping! It's not a bragging fact that ants kill elephants! What's more, that death knight is so powerful!

"Where is there any attack method! Tibbers! You don't know! My magic power is almost exhausted! There is only enough to teleport a few times!" Annie stood up from Tibbers' shoulder , and began to look in the direction of the city through the wide-open city gate.

I remember you still have quite a few magic items...

"It's really gone! Apart from the space gem, a magic staff, and a time gem, there is really nothing else! If you don't believe me, I will show you!" Anyway, she was idle, and Annie began to look in her space pocket. After searching, apart from the three things mentioned above and a bunch of food and clothing, there is really nothing useful.

"Huh? Tibbers, what is this thing? When did it come in?"

Annie suddenly discovered a strange large cylindrical object lying in a small half-plane of hers, its tail was still emitting flames, and there was a countdown of ten seconds on the small display screen above, but because of this half-plane Time in the plane is stagnant, so it has been lying there motionless, this thing seems to have been placed for a long time...

Hmm... I remember, it seems like you got it in New York when you were fighting that demi-magic on the roof of that Tin Woodman's house? That's right! This seems to be the bomb launched by the earth humans to blow up the portal?

Tibbers thought for a while, and added: After defeating those Kiritas, didn't that bald uncle Coulson specifically ask you about this? At that time, you also thought about releasing it and returning it to them. At that time, they were so frightened that they refused to go back. You also told you not to release it again. I didn’t Do you remember correctly?

"Huh? I remembered it too. It seems that there is such a thing! It seems that after the countdown is over, it is going to blow up? So, Tibbers, shall we throw it out to blow up those things later?" Undead?"

It might work? Anyway, it’s just a bomb, I think it’s not much less powerful than your Extreme Fire Explosion Technique, it doesn’t matter, if you like it, you can throw it in this city to play with.

Tibbers didn't quite understand the bomb, but based on its size, he could roughly guess its power. Even if it really exploded, it probably wouldn't have much power, right?

"Okay! Then, after releasing it in a while, its head with three black funnel marks is the direction of travel, right?"

That's right! Its tail spouts flames, and it must be using the recoil of the flames to fly. You must be right if you throw its head with three funnel symbols into the city! Thinking about it, it shouldn't blow us up! ——For this, Tibbers is sure!

"Okay! Then we'll make a happy decision! Before that big sister, Sylvanas, and the others run out and teleport away, I'll throw it into the city! Blow up those nasty undead! Humph! "

Annie thought, judging from the nervous performance of Uncle Coulson and the others at that time, the power should be considered okay, right? No matter what, it should be able to kill hundreds of undead within a range of one or two hundred yards, right?
