Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 11 .Siege of Dalaran

Dalaran, the city of magic, is a beautiful city completely covered by violet and blue and white colors. It is located on the southern bank of Lordamere Lake and at the foot of Alterac Mountains. It is a fertile plain surrounded by vast expanses. The silver pine forest is completely covered.

This is the magical country of the Alliance of Seven Nations. To be precise, Dalaran is not only the name of this city, but also the name of this small country. This is probably the smallest country in the world, with its overall area. , Even not as good as a large area in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Its population is only a mere 10 people, but it is worth noting that 12,000 of them are all mages. This ratio is enough to make it one of the strongest human nations.

Dalaran is different from other countries. It is not ruled by the king, but by the Kirin Tor, an organization of wizards in Dalaran. Don’t expect the wizards to take care of state affairs. After all, there are ten wizards and nine houses. The political system in Laran is very chaotic, and there is almost no ruling class.

This has also created the citizens of Dalaran, who have a very free mind. Although they also guard themselves, in the eyes of civilians and officials in other countries, the citizens of Dalaran are a group of lunatics who love fantasy.

But now, even the most free citizens of Dalaran don’t have the time and energy to think about other things. Starting three days ago, there have been mages who organized the citizens to move to Hillsbrad Hills and Arathi Highlands. , And a small group of adventurous guys boarded the immigration ship organized by Lordaeron’s eldest princess Kalya Menethil to migrate to the strange and mysterious Kalimdor.

The homeland is hard to leave, this is the thought that civilians in any world will have, but under the coercion of the coming war and death, no one will stupidly fall here and wait for death.

Especially yesterday afternoon, the meteorite that traversed a beautiful trajectory in the air fell on the border of Dalaran and turned into a giant hellfire demon. After destroying four villages, even the most stubborn person, I have also started packing my luggage and preparing to flee the country.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this meteorite may be a sign of war or a bell of destruction, but in the eyes of the wizards, it is clearly an offensive magic of super high energy level, because it was not cast against Dalaran itself. , So even Antonidas and the six-man council did not foresee the movement of magic in advance.

In other words, Dalaran suffered from the disaster of the pond fish.

And the worst thing is that the meteorite hit the magic node of Dalaran’s outer defensive enchantment. When the battle wizards killed the hellfire giant who was murdering everywhere, they looked at the opportunity and stayed in Los Angeles. Alsace, who was staring at Lake Damir, seized this opportunity and swept his army into the Dalaran Plain.

The Kirin Tor Council, also known as the Council of Six, or the Violet Council, the first barrier that the mages believed to be foolproof, was thus eliminated.

The situation now is exactly the same as Quel’Thalas was at the time, or even worse!

No matter how bad Quel’Thalas is, its true strength is several times stronger than Dalaran. Don’t forget, the number of high elves’ mages, that’s easily broken through the 10 mark, it’s just that Because there are enough mages to hold the line, Quel’Thalas can still crush the undead on the southern front of Quel’Thalas in the case of two enemies.

But the current Dalaran does not have this strength. They themselves are a pure organization of wizards, and unlike the Phoenix Dynasty, there are two standing elite military forces, so after Alsace entered the Dalaran Plains , It only took less than 3 hours, and the whole of Dalaran was surrounded by the sea of ​​undead that was pressed down to the sky.

To make matters worse, with the Great Lich Kel’Thuzad, the space around Dalaran was immediately sealed off. Don’t underestimate the strength of a Great Lich, the huge amount of magic power in its body. Enough to completely cover the entire city.

Not to mention, the army of undead coming this time is not purely undead.

Antonidas retracted his palm on the Eye of Dalaran, and the previous exploration made the old mage’s depression deeper, because he also found a lot of demons among the undead.

Although he was very confident in the dual mana barriers in Dalaran, Antonidas couldn’t help but rejoice when he really saw this terrifying army. Fortunately, yesterday, he had already apprentice most of the wizards. They were all sent to the Wizards’ Guild of Stormwind Kingdom and entrusted their old friends to take care of them. Otherwise, once a war really breaks out, I’m afraid…

“Archmage, the undead has begun to attack the city! Do you want to activate the energy of the Eye of Dalaran?”

A familiar voice connected to Antonidas’ mind in a mentally fluctuating manner. The Archmage was shocked, then nodded, took off the violet emblem on his chest, and placed it in front of him. In the magic circle of the Eye of Laran.

This is a purple sphere floating in the half-person high air. The outer layer is all pure magical energy. The center is a purple wand, like a candlestick. The top of the wand is a small wand. The platform, three faint rays of light dotted it, and two purple ribbons hanging on both sides of the staff. On the platform at the top of the staff, there are mana illusions floating like a purple eye. Therefore, this thing is the first generation. The mages, called “Eye of Dalaran”.

Even the illusion of purple eyes was used by the first generation mages as the national emblem and symbol of Dalaran.

This staff is full of huge energy. What’s more, it has its own will. Antonidas can feel that the reason why this staff is still in Dalaran is to wait for it. The arrival of the fate.

But this did not prevent the brave wizards from using it as a functional item of Dalaran’s dual magic enchantment, and this staff did not show resistance.

The badge of Antonidas was placed in the magic circle under the eyes of Dalaran. The next moment, the giant, visible purple force quickly surged outward along the dense circle of magic, and quickly spread throughout the entire circle. Dalaran, and in the gazes of Arthas and Kel’Thuzad outside the city, a purple light burst into the sky from the center of Dalaran. After the light dissipated, a thin purple shield covered the entire Dalaran was surrounded.

Those who were very close, under Alsace’s order, were preparing to attack Dalaran. They couldn’t even make a sound. They were wiped out by the powerful magical power at the moment they touched the mana shield. .

Yes, it died directly, not like being burned into ashes by the holy light, but the whole body was torn apart by an invisible position and turned into the most basic particles, particles invisible to the naked eye.

“Ah, look, double enchantment, Dalaran has exhausted 200 years, and generations of wise mages have participated in it to create a top defensive circle!”

The great lich Kel’Thuzad floated behind Arthas, its white as jade skull creaked, and every time it opened or closed, a terrible chill came out of its mouth.

Arthas looked at the mana shield that kept decimating the undead with indifferent eyes. One minute later, after more than a thousand undead were torn apart, Arthas wrapped his fingers in black armor, lightly on the surface of Frostmourne. With a flick, the undead’s offensive stopped. They retreated hundreds of meters, and then stopped there quietly, just like soldiers who were forbidden to do so.

Arthas held Frostmourne in both hands, he took a deep breath, and then quickly stepped forward, wearing a delicate black and blue skeleton armor body, bringing out a shadow in the air, approaching When the enchantment, he held the sword in both hands and cut it down sharply.

The energy of black, red and green intertwined sprayed out from the blade of Frostmourne, bringing out a sharp sword light that pierced the air, like an energy blade of Frostmourne magnified 10 times. , The slash that fell from the sky landed on the surface of the double enchantment.

But this moment was enough to destroy the attack of a small town. When it fell on the surface of the barrier, even a ripple did not appear. Under the slightly surprised gaze of Arthas, the blue and black energy blade, Like melted ink, it fell into the enchantment, constantly tumbling.

After a second, the complete attack was bounced back, but it was no longer in the form of a sharp sword, but in the form of a shock wave. The black light brought up the dust on the ground and rolled up the air like a giant. The roar of the beast, in the form of a black storm, swept across the front of the undead, like a blink of an eye, and hundreds of undead were scattered and disappeared in place.

Arthas, who was in the black light sweeping range, was unscathed. When the black storm subsided, he stood still in that position. Outside his body, the light red mask helped him block this counterattack. But looking at the dense cracks on the red mask, Arthas’s eyes became colder and colder.

“Is there any way to break through this layer of magic circle?”

Arthas glanced at the air on his left, then asked, tilting his head.

The big lich hissed with inexplicable laughter, and then said in a gentle voice.

“Hahahaha, the double violet enchantment uses the Eye of Dalaran as a rechargeable item. It has strong defense and counterattack capabilities against magical attacks and physical attacks. You have seen it, even if you enter the epic hero like this Level-level attacks can’t shake this layer of enchantment, it’s the same for me!”

The big lich also focused his attention on the air on the left, and then continued,

“The speed at which we consume its energy is far less than the speed at which the Eye of Dalaran can recharge. Therefore, unless there is a way to break it from the inside, it will be insoluble. Of course, if we can trap this place Long enough, maybe you can expect those wizards to starve to death? Hahahaha.”

Death can really completely change a person’s temperament. Kel’Thuzad is an extreme example. This great lich has transformed from a cold-faced uncle before into a venomous chatter.

so unlucky!

But Arthas, surprisingly, did not refute Kel’Thuzad’s sneer. Obviously, these two people who didn’t deal with each other were currently in the same camp.

And just after Kel’Thuzad’s cold joke was finished, a faint wave appeared in the air on the left side of the two people. Then, one end was almost exactly the same as Desailoc, who had just died, but the whole body was blood red. , And Bidselok’s body was just over 3 meters tall, it was two full circles, and the dark energy surging all over his body even actively formed the phantom of skeletons and bats in the air.

Tichondrius, the first lord of Nathrezim, the leader of all the dreadlords, the loyal servant of the great demon Archimonde, and the demon commander who is ordered to take charge of the undead natural disasters.

As soon as it appeared, it sneered and stretched out its hand. The dark energy of chaos formed a dark vortex in the palm of its hand, like a small ball of dark storms. It glanced at Alsace and Kel’Thuzad, and then took a look. The dark orb was thrown towards Dalaran’s mana barrier.

This time, when the dark energy compressed to a very high density collided with the magic circle, it did not appear to be “absorbed” before, but directly on the surface of the mana barrier, a depression was made, and the two forces were in While offsetting each other, it also made the sunken purple light stronger and stronger. Eventually, when the dark energy was completely consumed by the purple magic, the enchantment was already covered with dense cracks.

Although the enchantment was refilled in less than a second, when the purple shield appeared again, Tichondrius didn’t use magic any more, but pierced into the previous position with a claw.

Just like an ordinary person grabbing a balloon with the palm of his hand, although he still failed to break through the barrier of the barrier, the dreadlord’s claws had almost stretched the purple light to the extreme.

“waste!”

Tichondrius retracted his claws, cursed disdainfully, and then grabbed his armor collar impatiently, and said to Arthas,

“It’s just a double barrier of magic and physics. It’s easy to break through this ridiculous defense of a mortal. Don’t think that I don’t know the careful thoughts of you and your filthy orc master, how Malganis died, I am more than you Clearly, that idiot needs to be punished, but it is not your turn!”

The dreadlord glanced at Alsace’s drastically changed face, grabbed his chin with his scarlet claws, and continued in a grim tone.

“You should be grateful that you are still useful. The master is about to descend in this sad world. This is the top priority. When the master conquers this world, I will settle accounts with you again. Go ahead! Go and do your own thing! ”

Tichondrius didn’t care about Alsace’s ugly color, stretched out his sharp claws lightly, and slammed it in the air. A black space crack appeared, and the Dreadlord lord swaggered in.

“Hoho! What an arrogant, stupid demon! Look at its little brain, which is not much bigger than a bug, and can’t understand this enchantment…”

Before Kel’Thuzad’s cynicism was finished, he was interrupted by Arthas’s raised left hand.

“Kel’Thuzad, prepare your cursed mages to attack the city, now…this is not the time yet…”
