Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 31 .Blood-stained Quel’Thalas

“Oh!! Ooo!”

The dull horn sounded through Silvermoon City. This was a signal of the coming of war. The civilians had received a call from the Royal Family of the Sunstriders. They silently packed all their belongings, carrying large bags and small bags in order. Following the guidance of the soldiers, they went to different places to take refuge.

The elder elves still remember the scenes of the evacuation of the country during the Troll War and the Second Orc War. They had tasted the taste of war, so they hoped that Quel’Thalas could also survive this disaster this time.

In other parts of the city, mature male elves lined up to receive their own armor and weapons. Unlike the previous wars, this time they were distributed to the militia fighters. There are also two compressed holy water pouches as Dick. With the war supplies strongly recommended by Sylvanas, the Magic Kingdom only took 3 days to mobilize the priests of the Holy Light across the country to urgently produce a batch of holy water.

The high elves have deep feelings for Quel’Thalas, and proud of them, they are not willing to abandon the country and flee, so many people join the army voluntarily.

But no matter how noble and heroic this voluntary action is, it cannot conceal the panic of Silvermoon City. The bustling streets have become temporary camps, where recruits receive training and then set foot on the battlefield. .

King Anastrian stood on the tower of the Sunwell Heights. He had replaced the mage’s robes and replaced it with a set of armor with good demon guiding, which was the war face of the Sunstrider.

“Accelerate the transfer of civilians! Go to Sunshine Island! Go to Quel’Danas… This is about to become a battlefield!”

The Sun King put his hands on the window of the mage tower, and the herald quickly recorded the king’s order. After his record was completed, he asked carefully,

“Your Majesty, Sunshine Island and Quel’Danas Peninsula can only accommodate 60 civilians at most. In addition to the 10 people who have been conscripted to the front line, we still have 120 civilians who cannot be accommodated!”

“I know… let me think about it…”

Anastrian rubbed his forehead. This is the suffering of a country without strategic depth. Once a large-scale war breaks out, civilians will always be the first to be harmed, especially in the face of enemies like undead natural disasters. , The civilians cannot be ignored at all, once they are killed, they can almost immediately become the enemy’s source of troops!

The entire Quel’Thalas is only one-third the size of the Lordaeron Empire. When Darkan formally defected two days ago and the defensive rune had a loophole, the entire country was plunged into the threat of the shadow of war, Alsace Once you break through the front line, you can even reach the foot of Silvermoon City in just 2 days of fast marching.

Therefore, protecting civilians is actually ensuring the victory of this war!

The Sun King almost racked his brains to think about the movement of civilians, until he saw the world map hung on the wall, the wise Sun King immediately entered into thinking, a few minutes later, he waved at the herald Waved,

“With the fastest speed, let Archmage Rothman contact the Knights of the Silver Hand. The human paladin said that the East Dallone Mill area of ​​Lordaeron, the Hillsbrad Hills and the Arathi Highlands area still remain With basic stability, see if they can temporarily accept some civilians! After the war is over, I can promise that the remnants of Quel’Thalas will join them in their fight against the undead and natural disasters!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The herald hurriedly ran out of the mage tower. Anastrian turned his gaze to the sun well behind him. The king suddenly had a foreboding that he had protected the sun well of the high elves for 7000 years. Perhaps this time, it was doomed to escape.

Just when the Sun King was having a headache for the evacuation of civilians, at the southernmost tip of Quel’Thalas, on the battlefield with the Eastern Temple, the Ann’oweien Temple, and the Western Temple as the front line defense, the ruthless fight was in every corner. Is happening.

Two days ago, when the first gargoyle passed through the defensive rune of Quel’Thalas, it echoed in the maple-colored sky of Quel’Thalas with a screaming scream, which meant an endless war. begin.

But this time, the guarded high elves were not easily defeated like the original history.

The gap opened by Dalkhan, located in the center of the three temples, is as wide as a football field. Only this place can allow the undead to pass. This is already the limit that this traitor can do. I want the entire defensive rune. To collapse, Arthas had to obtain at least three temples and Silvermoon City headquarters, three of the five magic keys in the headquarters of Sunshine Island, otherwise, the defensive runes would still be indestructible!

But the undead never complain about the narrowness of the battlefield, lack of thinking, and they don’t know how to be exhausted. It took only 2 days to suppress the entire defense of the elves by thousands of meters. The elves only fought for only 2 days. The damage has reached 9,000 people, and the undead party, due to the massive application of holy water, has reached a terrible 2 people.

Alsace is crazy! The elves are crazy too!

The two sides launched an absolutely crazy confrontation on the narrow and long land at the southernmost tip of Quel’Thalas, and there is absolutely no mistake in calling it a “meat grinder”.

“Paladin! Charge with me!”

The blood-stained Dick opened the aura of punishment. Myra-Dawn Blade stood behind him. This high-ranking knight grew up at a rapid rate. Together with the 26 elven paladins who survived the escape, they formed A charging formation, led by the burning fire of justice, rushed into the surging sea of ​​undead for the seventh time.

Wherever they went, there were ashes fluttering. Arthas before becoming the Lich King, the efficiency of making death knights was very low, so in this kind of large-scale war, the chance of death knights appearing on the front line is also very low. , They are generally used as commanders.

And on the battlefield of the Temple of Ann Owen where Dick is located, as the commander of the undead, it was Thassarian, whom Dick had a relationship with, and Sergeant Lordaeron who had accompanied Alsace to Northrend. Loyal soldiers are also plot characters who have left their own footprints in history.

But the cruel war has wiped out Dick’s goodwill for Thassarian. If there is a chance, he will definitely kill Thassarian without hesitation, relying on Dick, who is now blessed by the power of the elite. In desperate circumstances, it is absolutely no problem to kill him!

After all, Arthas was not yet the Lich King, and Thassarian was just a rare elite death knight, and he was far from reaching the level of a later high-ranking lord.

But as an experienced soldier, how could Sassarian leave such a flaw, no matter how many undead Dick had slaughtered with the Paladins, he would never take the initiative to appear on the battlefield, which made Dick angry. Itchy, but there is no way.

Ten minutes later, the exhausted Dick and the Paladins pierced the sea of ​​undead, and cooperated with the elven soldiers, successfully repelled the attack of the undead again. Everyone was extremely exhausted. If it weren’t for the support from Silvermoon City, it would let you They were given plenty of rest time, and Dick’s body was already exhausted during these two days of intense fighting.

However, with the support from the Magic City, the advantage is that portals are rare things in the human world. On the battlefield of Quel’Thalas, almost every sanctuary has standing munitions, so in simple After a short rest, Dick crossed the portal and returned to the Hall of Life in Silvermoon City.

“Leadrin, I’m back…”

Dick opened the door. He imagined that the beautiful and intellectual high-ranking priest would stand behind the door and wait for him, but he was disappointed again. Liadrin was still lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty. Dick sighed with disappointment. After a sigh of relief, he sat on the chair in the room and silently smoked his pipe.

Up to now, Dick still doesn’t think that his feelings for Liadrin are love, because he has put all his heart on Miss Jaina’s side. Since the last correspondence, Dick knows that Miss Jaina has already Followed Alessandro to the south of the eastern continent, temporarily avoiding the fighting in northern Xinjiang.

Even with magical magic, after crossing most of the continent, there is no way to communicate as frequently as before, and in the battlefield, although Dick misses the eldest lady very much, he still forces himself to suppress the opposition. Miss feelings.

The battle of Quel’Thalas has long been combined with the battle of Lordaeron. Dick needs to stay here, delay Alsace’s footsteps as much as possible, and win the final victory for the Knights of the Silver Hand. Preparation time.

“boom!”

The door of the room was pushed open, and Hadulun in a loose robe walked in. From the tired eyes of the Ranger Lord, you can see that this guy must have just been torn from the frontline battlefield. The undead’s offensive is in full swing, especially in Dick. Under the suggestion of, after the wizards of Silvermoon City developed arrows that could carry the energy of the Holy Light, the importance of the high-ranking rangers in this war was greatly increased.

“I guess you are here.”

Hardulun greeted Dick, and sat opposite Dick very unmannered. He also took out a pipe with the Phoenix emblem from his arms and put it in his mouth and smoked it.

The elves and tobacco exist in almost two worlds, but when the high pressure of war is on everyone’s shoulders, tobacco, which is only popular among the elven paladins, soon spread to the circle of all elven soldiers. in.

After the war, everyone needs to relax. For men of all races, women and tobacco are always the best relaxation products.

“General Sylvanas killed a death knight this morning. The battle in the Eastern Temple was temporarily stabilized, but what puzzles me is that I have not seen Alsace since the beginning of the war. Only Lor’themar will occasionally show up on the battlefield, and the wizards said that the traces of Dalkhan’s magic power seem to have disappeared out of thin air. This makes me a little frightened. I always feel that they are brewing some conspiracy!”

Harduren spit out a smoke ring. He grabbed his hair and said to Dick that this guy soon exposed his aberrant side after getting acquainted with Dick. He and all the elves that Dick had met before Different, friendly, generous and casual, just like a human being in an elf cloak. Sylvanas said it was because Hadulun was still young, but Dick knew that this was his nature. Hadulun is also a very approachable guy.

Facing his doubts, Dick also rubbed his eyes.

“It’s hard to tell whether your guess is true or not. The scene where Dalkhan disappeared made me familiar, but I really can’t remember seeing a similar scene there… You also said that when we entered the laboratory, Dalkhan’s real body is definitely there, he just used a special spell to escape under our noses.”

Dick looked at Haduron’s thoughtful expression and shrugged.

“I don’t know what you think of Dalkhan, anyway, as far as the news I know, he is not a guy willing to sit down.”

This is the truth. The Darcan in the game is definitely a model of two-sided swordsmanship. He first betrayed Silvermoon City, then betrayed Arthas, and even captured Sylva, who had become the Queen of the Forsaken. Nas and the five **** blue dragon Kalecgos.

Although the latter once had a “brilliant record” shot down by a dwarf with a musket, being able to seize this five-scum blue dragon prince who put all his talents on escape can also prove Dalkhan’s strength.

It can be said that the current Dalcan and Kel’Thuzad are definitely a level character, so they can join Alsace so easily. This is both in the game and in the current reality. The mystery of Dick.

He always felt that there was a deeper secret in Dalkhan’s betrayal, and this secret was the key to unlocking the current predicament of Silvermoon City.
