Rise of the blood elves

592【Rescue Azshara】

The picture changes again and again, but the scenes revealed are much the same.

Facing the menacing demon army, the night elves had almost no power to fight back, and were completely slaughtered one-sidedly.The extraordinary courage shown by the victims when they were fleeing, whether it was the desperate counterattack launched by a small group of troops surrounded by divisions who knew they were outmatched, or anything else, all of them are constantly touching Angmar's heart. A certain heartstring.

After a long time, he sighed.

The scene now is no different from when Quel'Thalas was invaded by the Scourge.

He sighed deeply.

But the difference is that the current war was brought about by him personally.

"What are you thinking about?" The Blue Dragon King stood beside Angmar at some point, looked up at the stars in the universe, and asked softly.This imaging spell was developed by him, and he could easily see the same picture as Angmar.

"Oh, it's nothing," Angmar replied, putting aside his distracting thoughts, "I just thought of my home. The scene now is no different from when my home was invaded."

After that he added in his mind that no, it was still different.The current catastrophe was brought about by me myself.

"You were born among mortals, but you can appreciate the extraordinaryness of mortals better than we can." Malygos put his hand on Angmar's shoulder, squeezed it gently, and said very seriously, "Don't worry, we will Let’s get through this disaster together. Perhaps when everything settles, with the five-color dragon clan and mortals working together, the world will usher in a better future.”

Angmar didn't want to go into too much depth on this topic. He just nodded with a smile and asked, "How was the battle?"

Malygos looked up at the starry sky again, waved his hand, and the scene of the eastern theater appeared on the screen.

Hundreds of giant dragons slaughtered all directions on the battlefield, as if they were in an uninhabited land, catching the demon by surprise.The hordes of mephits and doomguards were no match for them. Not to mention magic, just their claws and dragon's breath caused huge casualties to the demonic army that was chasing the defeated night elves.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the black dragons led by Dragon Queen Sinestra. As the largest black dragons among the five-color dragon clan, they have strong bodies and tough dragon scales, and they have repeatedly withstood the bombardment of evil artillery and evil spells. , causing a bloody storm among the demons.

On the other hand, looking at the green dragons led by Isendre, one of the four green dragons in later nightmares, and the blue dragons that have just arrived on the battlefield, their presence is not that strong.The former is cleaning up the small group of demons biting behind the defeated night elves, while the latter is gathering at the back of the battlefield, preparing to work together to use unusually powerful spells to bombard the demons.

On the ground, the dragon servant army composed of dragons and dragon beasts, as soon as they came out of the portal, cut into the battlefield from the side, dividing the demon into two pieces like a sharp cone...

However, the retreating night elf soldiers, except that they finally stabilized their position, just stood in the distance and watched the scene here in horror, but did not come back to continue fighting.Firstly, the physical strength is really not allowed, no matter how powerful the officers are, it is difficult to gather the troops under their command. Secondly, the night elves in ancient times do not know the background of the five-color dragon clan, and only regard the giant dragons as intelligent beings. Beast, although the dragon is obviously dealing with demons, it doesn't know if it will be attacked indiscriminately as soon as it goes up, so it can only wait and watch from a distance.

It seems that the eastern battlefield has been stabilized for the time being.

The strength of the five-color dragon clan was something that the devil had never expected.Due to the lack of information, and the fact that no one in the ancient mortal race knew about the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, even with Harveys and other high-class elves who had surrendered, it was difficult for the demons to have a complete understanding of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan. Perhaps they were just wary of it. But he never expected that he would encounter the Dragon Clan's army on the battlefield, which is why the scene that just happened happened.

"Those night elves should have a chance to regain their strength now and retake this dangerous place." Seeing the demon begin to retreat, Malygos said softly.

The battle took place at a mountain pass [-] kilometers east of Zin Aissalin. Calling it a "pass" is actually a bit reluctant, because it is dozens of kilometers wide and is a river rushing out of the valley. An alluvial fan area washed out over countless years.

As the Kaldorei Empire grew and expanded, taking over the eastern plains where Suramar City and Black Crow Keep were located, the strategic significance of this area became increasingly important. Although it was covered with sand and gravel and was difficult to colonize, it was from Zin Azshari that The only dangerous point along the route to the Suramar region is also where the eastern main road of the Kaldorei Empire passes, so there has always been a secondary-scale local garrison stationed here, numbering about [-].

After passing this pass, until the city of Suramar, the terrain is flat and smooth, and the limited hilly areas can hardly act as a hindrance.

Once the demons capture this place, it will be extremely difficult to curb the Burning Legion's eastward advance. The situation will then take a turn for the worse and become completely passive.

The generals of the Kaldorei Empire also knew this truth well, and they did not hesitate to abandon the northern part of the Well of Eternity area and mobilized a large number of troops to defend it.This was also a last resort move after weighing the pros and cons. After all, the area north of the Well of Eternity was not the core territory of the empire and the population was not large. However, the Eastern Great Plains and even the southeastern region where the Vashjir Territory was located were completely It is the most important population center in the empire and must not be lost.

And among the many counterattack forces, the one from the east was led by Lord Ravencrest of Black Crow Castle, which brought together the second-line security forces in the region, as well as those from the area bordering some of the territories of the Amani trolls and the Gurubashi trolls in the southeast. The army composed of the main legions withdrawn from the border areas will also be the strongest military force in the entire Kaldorei Empire.

The only troublesome thing is the lack of time.Even with the size of the Kaldorei Empire, it would not be easy to mobilize a hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of troops in addition to the standing regular army.Any region needs time to forge weapons and equipment, gather indispensable food supplies, lay supply lines, and recruit servants to transport supplies to the frontline army.

If this pass is lost, with the devil's marching speed, they can definitely be defeated separately before the preparations for the battle are completed on the eastern plains.Not to mention this, even if the devil does not leave the pass eastward, but sticks to this place, then the eastern army coming will be stopped here, and there is no way to invade the Well of Eternity area, let alone with the other two troops from the west and south. The armies reunited, recaptured the capital, and drove the demons back into the Twisting Nether.

It's a pity that for the Burning Legion, which has destroyed countless worlds and has countless strategists and planners, discovering the importance of this pass is not a problem, not to mention that they also have Harveys, the former Kaja. The important officials of Dolei Empire are here.

Although the Burning Legion has many ways to circumvent geographical obstacles and deliver troops to various parts of the planet, they are always unconventional methods that consume too much and are difficult to use easily. At least they cannot extract such energy before completely controlling the Well of Eternity. How magical.Therefore, in the early stages of the war, occupying strategic locations around the Well of Eternity and posing a strategic threat to the world's primary, mortal-based resistance forces from the ground became a top priority.

So there was this battle. Except for one-third of the main force who went to chase the fleeing team led by the Night Elf Queen, a small part attacked the south, and the rest all gathered at this pass.In any case, the night elves, who were unprepared for this war, would find it difficult to escape without being defeated, even if they had a certain geographical advantage.

Now the sudden arrival of the dragon army has helped the night elves resolve this crisis, allowing the night elves to regain control of this crucial pass, which is very beneficial to the overall situation.

What the demons need is time. As time goes by, their control over the Well of Eternity deepens, and they have more magic power to squander. The portal will also become more solid, and more demon armies will be sent into this place. world.

The same is true for the night elves. They need a breather before they can launch this huge empire that has been quiet for three years after the expansion war against the trolls.

This is what Malygos means. When the attention of other dragon clans is attracted by the power of the ancient gods who want to fish in troubled waters, the power sent to the Well of Eternity area is really insufficient.

With the power of the Blue Dragon Legion, the small group of black dragons led by Black Dragon Queen Sinestra, and the small group of green dragons led by Isendre, it is not easy to do this.Even if the dragon's individual combat power is too strong, attacking the ruins of Zin Azalin, which has already been occupied by demons, is tantamount to suicide.

But don't think that the five-color dragon clan doesn't pay attention to the Burning Legion. The fact is exactly the opposite.

Under Angmar's persuasion, the five-color dragon tribe has long realized the value of mortals that they have always ignored in the past. Their strength is to join forces with mortals headed by night elves and nature spirits headed by wilderness demigods. work together to stabilize the situation.Its overall combat power and beneficial influence on the entire ancient war even far exceeded the five-color dragon clan itself.

The key is to unite the demigods, disperse the apprentices to powerful positions in Suramar City, and the "prophet" Angmar, who is also very important among the night elves. Who does he play? There is no lubrication effect.

According to the plan made in Wyrmrest Temple in the past, the rest of the dragon clan will deal with the army of fallen creatures that came out of Ulduar, and then return to join the blue dragon army of Angmar and Malygos. Together with the mortals, Drive the demon back to the portal!

There may be many twists and turns, but even Angmar and high-level guardian Rai know clearly that this is the best way.

……

At this moment, the picture suddenly changed again.

Angmar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the "curtain" that blocked the background of the cosmic starry sky finally revealed the scene of Azshara's area.

She was seen floating in mid-air, quickly approaching the Elune Chapel in the center of the town.In the streets below her, the Praetorian Guard soldiers were retreating out of the town, chased by demons, and seemed to be giving up their defense.

As for the commanding heights in the town, the Elune Chapel—much smaller than the Temple of the Moon, and similar buildings in many night elf towns—the dozen or so fel cannons on the top floor have already been assembled and are spitting out green flames. Cannonballs were fired out one after another and fell into the night elf soldiers. Each explosion could take away the lives of dozens or hundreds of people...

Azshara finally arrived in the sky above the chapel. Before she could take any action, an overwhelming barrage of spells came towards her, along with several Doomsday Guard teams guarding the commanding heights they had just occupied...

She looked very tired, her eyes were bloodshot. She had obviously not had a good rest for a long time, and her magic power was extremely lacking. Even if she wanted to buy time for the evacuating army, it seemed difficult to do so.But she raised her right hand fearlessly, and the ring on her middle finger suddenly burst out with dazzling light. Under the light, the magic attacks on her body were eliminated, and all the attackers were also destroyed. Burned into ashes.

Destroying a town and killing thousands of demons with the power of one person... This is no longer what a mortal mage can do.If nothing else, the Magic Guardian Malygos, who was standing nearby and watching the scene intently, was also slightly surprised by this scene.

Azshara did not stop, but somehow activated the ring again.The ring immediately emits a burst of warm light, enveloping her like a cocoon of light.

At the same time, the same warm light emitted from Angmar's body in the Eye of Eternity, the secret place deep inside the core of the blue dragon.

Malygos could clearly sense that the magic power in Angmar's body was draining away rapidly. In a few seconds, it was enough to drain an adult blue dragon of its magic power, through some not very sophisticated but effective space spell. was transferred away.

The magic guardian then raised his head and looked at the screen again. In the blink of an eye, the cocoon of light had dissipated. Looking at Azshara again, although her white dress was still stained with blood and filth, her expression was no longer clear. A hint of exhaustion.

She raised her hands to the sky and gritted her teeth.The next second, meteorites and fire rain fell from the sky, completely turning the vast town into a sea of ​​​​fire. All demons, whether they were giant hellfire nearly 20 meters tall, eredar warlocks who were well versed in fel magic, or The Demon Guards and Cerberus, the most insignificant members of the Burning Legion, all failed to escape this catastrophe and died completely.

The remnants of the Imperial Guard who had withdrawn from the town were completely safe.

Azshara's body was unstable and she almost fell. She forced herself to stabilize her body and floated in the air for a while. After finding that no demons survived, she turned around and flew to the west of the town to join her men.

The picture slowly faded away.

Malygos turned around, looked at Angmar in surprise, and asked, "That magical artifact...was it made by you?"

Angmar nodded solemnly.

"What a bold act, I'm afraid you are the only one who can withstand this loss of magic power," Malygos praised. He could see the effect of the ring at a glance, "It seems that the Night Elf Queen is very important to you. "

Angmar remained silent, thinking for a moment, then pointed at the scene that had not yet dispersed and said softly, "I'm going out for a while. If anything happens, just come to me there."
