Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 51 21. The movement of the three parties——Gageng Jiu

Sylvanas has lost her seventh ranger camp. To be precise, apart from the large fortress Daysome at the southernmost tip of Ghostland and the important camp Tarqueline Sentinel that has been besieged, Quil All of Salas' strongholds in Ghostlands have been uprooted.

The Tower of the Morning Star and the Temple of the Sun of the Mage Council of Silvermoon City have lost contact for 3 days. All the civilians in Jinwu Village and Fengxing Village were slaughtered. This incident made the whole Quel'Thalas panic, so Silvermoon The council also put a lot of pressure on Cirvanas, requiring her to put down the hidden danger of the undead as soon as possible.

"Hidden danger!... In the eyes of those fools, these 70,000 undead are just "hidden dangers"!"

Cirvanas is no longer the indifferent and calm 3 days ago. She squeezed the order sent from the Silvermoon Council, and her silver teeth were almost crushed. When she saw the smoke rising from the Golden Mist Village, Why didn't she want to send troops to rescue, but she also discovered the weakness of her army.

What the coward said was right, without holy water, without a priest, ordinary soldiers have no hope of victory in the face of a huge number of undead! Even with the help of the powerful magic of the mages, it can only temporarily equalize the situation. Although Quel'Thalas is known as the "city of mages", not every elf is a qualified mage.

The high elves have inherited the advantages of the elves. They have a long life, but they are extremely difficult to reproduce. Although they have taken root in Quel'Thalas for 7,000 years, the total population of Quel'Thalas is only 2 million, or even just Lordan. one-third of the total population of London.

Every elf's life is precious, but now, Cirvanas has to put their lives as a bet. This is the third time that Tarqueline sentry has asked for help, and Cirvanas cannot There are more requirements for this sentry that has persisted in the sea of ​​​​undead for 3 days, and she can't hide in the defensive rune and wait.

Even though the amount of holy water was far from enough, Cirvanas still decided to send troops today to bring back the heroes in the Tarqueline sentry.

Sylvanas' plan was risky, but she believed that after the mage troops cleared the road from Clearwind Village to Tarqueline Post, with the high mobility of the ranger troops, they could completely retreat to the defense before the undead encircled them. rune in go.

When 4,000 rangers set off, Cirvanas was riding on her chocobo. She now regrets not forcing that coward to stay with her, because what he said has been confirmed one by one .

In 3 days, the rangers destroyed at least 100 gargoyles, but Cirvanas knew that this kind of dark monster must have covered the entire Ghostland, and the Dragonhawk troop responsible for scouting was completely unable to do so due to their small number. Clear the airspace, so before the battle begins, the rangers lose their greatest advantage - stealth!

But still the same sentence, Cirvanas has nothing to do... Just like Dick said, there are some things she has to do!

"Theron! After I leave, you and Halduron each brought two ranger troops as support, waiting for my news!"

Sylvanas gave orders to the two lieutenants following behind him. Lor'themar, who had a relationship with Dick once, nodded. The gorgeous heavy crossbow young knight-errant lord also nodded to indicate that he understood.

The female general took a last look at the bright sunshine of Qingfeng Village and Quel'Thalas, as well as the strong elf-style buildings behind her. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She shook her head and threw it into the One side, then raised his left hand and swung down, 4,000 rangers and mages marched forward, bravely stepping out of the protection of Quel'Thalas' defensive runes.

On the other side, Alsace, who was sitting on a cold boulder with his eyes closed and meditating, stood up with a whimper. In the spiritual connection of the gargoyle, Alsace saw the sight of the elf rangers walking out of the defensive runes, which made him always The eyes of the king of death knights who were waiting for an opportunity lit up. He pulled out the magic sword Frostmourne from the stone in front of him, and with a light lift, the stone burst.

And under the blessing of His Majesty's will, on the empty ground around him, countless pairs of blood-red undead flames ignited violently, and even the ground began to vibrate violently.

"The prey is in the net! My good hunters, act!"

Alsace stepped on the neighing bone warhorse, his favorite mount ever, Invincible, and waved forward with one hand. Behind him, the gargoyles hanging upside down on the dead tree trunks in the dense forest flapped their wings and rushed screaming. Going up to the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, under this dark sky, their ferocity is even more revealed.

Blessed by the death power of Frostmourne, the skeletal warhorse slapped the black tattered bat wings that should not exist, took a few steps, and flew into the sky with its villainous master. The death knights on the outskirts of the earth also received the master's will from the spiritual network shared by Frostmourne, so at this moment, if you look down from the sky, you can see that three black cavalry are coming from three directions. , rush to the location where the Tarqueline sentry post is located.

All of this, Cirvanas, who was traveling at high speed, didn't know!

But the two sides who were about to meet did not realize that on the southernmost battlefield of the Land of Ghosts, there was also a mixed team of horses and chocobos, who were moving in the direction of Tacqueline with difficulty. They set off It was earlier, but due to the slower speed, it is probably difficult to catch up with the beginning of this war between the living and the dead.

"Paladin, charge with me! Open the way for the priests!"

Dick was riding on a tall horse, calling for his teammates. Myra Dawnblade urged the horse, and quickly followed behind Dick. The other paladins also attached holy light to their weapons, heading He launched a charge against the sea of ​​undead in front of the team.

It is worth mentioning that behind the paladins, there are nearly 20 elf warriors riding on chocobos, charging with the paladins. They are wearing bright red phoenix armor completely different from the paladins, holding elf sabers and The emblem shield put down the full-face helmet. Although there was no surge of holy light, with the blessing of the priests who were not far from the battlefield, these soldiers also had the lethality against the undead.

Liadrin was standing in front of more than a dozen priests. When Myra Dawnblade entered Daysome to recruit volunteers, this high-ranking priest joined the team for the first time to save Cirvanas. In the general's squad.

Cirvanas is her friend, and she doesn't want to see her die in a battle with the undead. Although she still has doubts about the combat effectiveness of this team, when she saw Dick, Liadrin Putting the last question behind her, she instinctively felt that Dick was trustworthy.

But this team has been extremely unlucky from the start to the present. During the 2-day march, it encountered 5 undead attacks. The priests and paladins all have healing spells, so there has not been a reduction in personnel, but everyone They are already very tired, and they are still at least one-third of the way away from Tacqueline.

"Holy Light! Purify this land!"

Dick held the shining flame of justice infused with holy energy in his hand. Every time he swung it, he could set off a frenzy in the sea of ​​undead. The knight quickly pierced through the sea of ​​undead. Since the knights were not far apart, they penetrated one after another and successfully opened a road of ashes in the sea of ​​undead.

With Dick's current holy power, these undead are far from being powerful. Almost as long as they come into contact with his mutated holy light mixed with the power of order, they will all be wiped out.

Liadrin led the priests, under the protection of the returning paladins, urged the chocobos, and quickly crossed the battlefield, but after the group escaped from the pursuit of the slow undead army, the frowning Dick , clenched his left hand, and sent a holy shock towards the sky. The next moment, a gargoyle with flapping wings fell from the sky, and was headed by Myra with a sword.

Dick looked at the direction of other gargoyles fleeing in all directions, turned his head and shouted loudly to the priests and warriors,

"Taquilin's battle has begun! Your chocobos have too little stamina. Our horses can bear the weight of two people. Knights, ride with two people and use the holy light to relieve the fatigue of the horses. There is not much time left for us." too much!"

After finishing speaking, Dick urged his horse to gallop to Liadrin, and stretched out his hand to her. The senior priest gave Dick a look and handed him his hand. The lithe Liadrin was carried onto the horse, and the other knights also quickly completed the transfer.

The warm holy light was injected into the bodies of the horses by the knights, and this warm energy quickly recovered a little energy from the equally exhausted horses. After resting for a few minutes, everyone charged in the direction of Tacqueline again.

Being held in Dick's arms, Ms. Liadrin felt a little uneasy. She asked softly,

"Maybe... maybe Cirvanas can break out..."

"Don't dream, Ms. Liadrin, as you have seen, Arthas even spared no effort to allocate a large number of troops to stop the only paladins who can cause terrible damage to his legion. This shows that he is very important to Silva. Nas' ranger team is determined to win!"

While manipulating the galloping horse, Dick said to Liadrin,

"I simply can't imagine how bad the situation will be if the revived rangers join Alsace's legion... Even Sylvanas, if she, a high-ranking lord, is also transformed into a dead spirit... "

"No! The women of the Windrunner family don't die so easily!"

Liadrin gritted her teeth and interrupted Dick's guess. The paladin smiled and did not speak. Due to the speed of the horse galloping so fast, the priest's body was even clinging to his armor, and Dick could smell it. Seeing the fragrance on Liadrin's hair made him a little distracted, but as soon as he thought of the young lady's face, the fluctuations in his heart quickly calmed down.

"Knight Dick...do we really have time?"

Liadrin's frustrated and worried voice came to Dick's ears again. This time, the paladin didn't answer immediately. He looked at the land already occupied by wandering corpses, and said in a deep voice,

"If we don't do it, it will never be too late. We have done everything we can... The rest is left to fate!"

"Well... Sylvanas... hang on! I... I'm coming!"

Ms. Liadrin reached out and brushed away the hair that blocked her eyes. She took the initiative to take over Dick's palm and continuously injected her holy energy into the body of the war horse. Don't doubt Liadrin's attainments in holy light spells. , her holy power is nearly 3 times more than Dick's!

Just when Dick approached the battlefield with the paladins and priests, Cirvanas was already desperate.

She looked up and looked around, undead! All undead!

The sky and the earth are all burning with blood-red flames of the undead! When the first bug-like nerubian appeared in the ranger army from below the ground, Sylvanas had a premonition that something was wrong, and when the gargoyle grabbed the plague jar, it raided from the sky and was firmly protected By the time the mages came out, Cirvanas had already concluded that they were ambushed!
