Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The information Little Star sent back from the front line was very accurate.

The Nightborne, commanded by Elisande, relied on their "local specialty" the withered magicians' sensitivity to magic and the violent characteristics of demon-draining. In the chaos after landing, they defeated Kui in less than four hours. The outer defenses of Erdanas Island.

This was not only due to the violence and fearlessness of life and death of the Withered Ones, but also to the radical ideas that the Grand Magister had continuously instilled in the Nightborne sergeants before the war.

As the leader who has ruled Suramar for ten thousand years, no one understands the deepest desires of the Nightborne better than the Archmage. Compared with the Quel'dorei elves' dependence on magic, the Shadorei elves' There is no cure for addiction.

But the Nightwell, which had sheltered Suramar for ten thousand years, was already overwhelmed.

Even if the magic power it produces is diluted and diluted again through special products like magic wine, it can no longer satisfy the magic addiction that penetrates the bones of the children of the night.

A national desire for ruin is enough to destroy the foundation of a race.

But on the other hand, as long as this common desire is used in the right place, it can instantly arouse the children of the night's desire for victory, allowing them to explode with destructive power that is not theirs.

However, a thousand words of appeal cannot compare with the facts seen with one’s own eyes.

The Grand Magister knew this truth well, and she did not respond much to the sergeants' questions until a few hours ago.

Before the war began, the Nightborne sergeants who were somewhat skeptical of the Archmage's promise that "every Nightborne will possess endless amounts of magic" saw with their own eyes when they set foot on the island of Quel'Danas, which was filled with golden magic. When the golden light enveloped the Sunwell like a source of magic, all doubts about the war disappeared in an instant.

These black-skinned elves from Suramar, who have been accustomed to the "hard life" of magic wine rationing since childhood, set foot on the land of Kui Island almost as a "pilgrimage".

To them, every inch of the air here is sweet and full of magical fragrance.

They don't need to suppress their desire for magic here. They can breathe in the air that is assimilated and filled with magic.

After every breath, their lungs cheered for being exposed to the full magic, and then their hearts and bodies trembled. The happiness filled with magic made every cell under their black skin scream, Excessive absorption of magic power also temporarily strengthened their power and magic.

It is difficult for people who are not addicted to magic to understand this special touch of the Children of the Night.

They began to believe that the Grand Magister had really shown a paradise belonging to the Children of the Night before their eyes.

Even if they knew that after this glorious Sunwell was occupied, they would most likely continue to live under a magic rationing system.

But with such a great and pure source of magic power, even the magic wine that has long been tired of drinking will probably be a little more fragrant. Those bastard winemakers have enough magic crystals and don’t have to mix so much magic into every bottle of wine. So damn water.

Better days are yet to come.

Driven by this idea, the Children of the Night army that attacked Kui Island did not need the Grand Magister's advice at all. They also changed their previous weak nature and seemed to have suddenly transformed back into the powerful ones who dared to confront the demons during the Elf Empire. Legion.

Each of them exploded with 300% combat effectiveness. Even under the suppression of Raynor Bandil's barrier, they still beat the unsuspecting white-skinned Quel'dorei elves and fled one by one.

The Sun King's front line was broken through layer by layer by the black-skinned elves with the "Greed Enraged" BUFF. As the stronghold on the island was occupied by Sha'dorei, these black-skinned elves who were also proficient in elven magic began to quickly remove them and suppress them from casting spells. The boundary signpost stone.

The working principle and manufacturing method of Renault Bandil Barrier are simply like a bible to human spellcasters.

But in the eyes of the Nightborne spellcasters, who are more "orthodox" than the high elves of Quel'dorei, this thing has very limited progress compared to the Territory Defender Barrier during the Elven Empire.

Especially the great arcanists under Elisande.

Some of them even personally participated in Queen Azshara's design and manufacturing process of this territorial enchantment more than 10,000 years ago, so these mysterious landmark stones have no secrets in their eyes.

Under their leadership, the Shal'dorei mages didn't spend much effort to completely crack the territory guardian who had blocked the violent orcs and was regarded by the Quel'dorei elves as a "national protection artifact".

They even "reversed" the effect of Raynor Bandil's Barrier in the stronghold occupied by the Nightborne to protect their wounded and maintain the stability of the portal leading to Suramar City.

Good guy!

This scene fell in the eyes of the spellcasters of Quel'dorei's Silver Moon Council, and its impact was no less than that of face riding.

The treasures they carefully made are actually easier to use in the hands of others than themselves. As long as a spell caster with some backbone sees this scene, who can bear it?

But now that the situation is critical, the Quel'dorei Silvermoon councilors have no time to pay attention to these magical disputes.

This will not only greatly increase the strength of the magic swordsmen and rangers under the Grand Magus, but also the waste pirates under the always crotchless Son of the Night Pirate King Ms. Yuejun, will also suddenly enter an "overclocking burst" state for the same reason. When they went into battle to kill the enemy, they were all incredibly brave.

They had the good sense not to compete with Elisande's army for the spoils. Instead, they obediently took a detour and captured a side hall called the "Magister's Terrace" in the palace outside the Sunwell, and used it as a A temporary base camp for the undead pirates.

This performance of "general knowledge" made Elisande more and more satisfied with Anaris Yuejun, the Elf Pirate King.

She even planned to discuss with the second lady of Yue County how to "rehabilitate" the Sha'dorei pirates after capturing the Sunwell. Anyway, the Kingdom of Suramar is also lacking a powerful navy, so the two sides can definitely talk about it.

Of course, it might be a little difficult to convince Anares Yuejun to break away from the undead pirate system, but the Archmage thinks he has figured out Black Shaw's weakness.

On this basis, if some benefits are given to the greedy pirates, there is a high probability that cooperation can be negotiated.

"By conquering the town ahead, we can reach the entrance of the Sunwell, my soldiers, my commanders! The hope that the Children of the Night have longed for for thousands of years is right in front of us. That is the final victory!

Just one step away! "

When the morale-filled Demon Swordsmen Legion roared and drove Quel'dorei's defeated army into an elven town, Elisande, who was riding a gorgeous mentor Demon Saber, temporarily put away his thoughts.

She drove her ferocious and majestic mount in the air to review the high-spirited magic swordsmen. She held the scepter of Sargeras in her hand and caused beating space cracks in the air.

She shouted to the soldiers looking at her below:

"Warriors of the Children of the Night, do not doubt the legitimacy of this war! We are the swords of the Shal'dorei civilization and the Kingdom of Suramar, and we must fight for the right to survive for our magic-hungry people. !

I can responsibly tell you, soldiers, this gorgeous Sunwell in front of you was also 'stolen' by the ancestors of the Quel'dorei elves!

Their ancestor, the first Sun King Dath'Remar Sunstrider, shamelessly stole the precious Eternal Well water from Lord Illidan Stormrage, the dark hero of our elves, when he was in trouble.

The shameless whites before you built the Sunwell with stolen goods, and they shamelessly claimed that this was a blessing from the arcane!

But none of this can be hidden from us, the Shaldorei.

The Well of Eternity is a sacred object of the Elf Empire. Even after the empire collapses, such a sacred object should be held by the most orthodox successor of the empire!

We Children of the Night are the purest bloodline inheritance of the Highborne Elves.

This magic well and all its magic is ours!

It was the Quel'dorei who shamelessly stole and occupied our magic power. They enjoyed it all with peace of mind, but it caused our people to suffer from a lack of magic power.

In this world, we can never find a civilization more despicable and shameless than these white-skinned elves!

Even those rude human monkeys are ten thousand times better in character than the fair-skinned ones! "

The Grand Magister paused. She had already cast a "cloak of justice" on this war in her own way. She also saw the burning fire in the eyes of her soldiers.

She knew the heat was coming.

So the next moment, the Grand Mage raised the Sargeras staff in her hand, swung it downwards, and shouted:

"This is the execution of justice by the Children of Night! This is the day when the Kingdom of Suramar rises! Soldiers, think of your families, lovers and children, for their bright future, for a tomorrow that is full of magic!

For the Kingdom of Suramar, charge! "

"boom"

Elisande mobilized the power of Sargeras' scepter, and with one invisible blow, he tore apart the entire magical defense outside the Quel'dorei town, as well as the defense system itself, as well as the activated giant golems.

The collapse of space caused several terrifying black cracks to be torn open in the material world. The surrounding houses were pulled precariously by this chaotic space, as if they were being continuously eaten by invisible monsters.

The Grand Magister is still strengthening the magic he exerts on the scepter of Sargeras.

She seems to want to use the power of this space holy object to wipe the entire town off the ground, in order to add momentum to the charge of the Demon Swordsman Legion, and by the way, to warn other white-skinned elves not to come and die again!

However, the idea is great, but the reality is terrible.

The increasing space tearing and distortion soon attracted the attention of the Sunwell defenders. After realizing that the last line of defense to the Sunwell was about to fall, Sun King Ah, who had been stationed here for the first time since the beginning of the invasion, Nastaryan finally couldn't sit still.

"That's enough! Elisande!"

Amidst the scolding that spread across the entire island as the magic power increased, the golden magic power was manipulated to turn into a huge flaming phoenix, which hit the great mage from high in the sky in a collision that covered the sky.

Although this blow was fired suddenly, the timing was very exquisite.

It happened that the Grand Mage continued to output magic power. If Elisande wanted to hide, she had to interrupt the control of the scepter of Sargeras.

If she insisted on destroying the elven town in front of her with one blow, then the phoenix flame mixed with the magic power of the Sunwell would be enough to seriously injure the Archmage.

But Elisande came prepared!

Moreover, the Grand Magister himself had told Blake before that she had been immersed in the Night Well for ten thousand years, and the energy from the Eye of Aman'Thul had changed the magical properties in her body and her life form.

Elisande ignored the golden phoenix that was coming towards her, and still persisted in guiding the destruction and tearing of the scepter of Sargeras until five seconds later, the entire town was lifted from the ground amidst the cheers of the Children of the Night. Divided into two, it was like a giant's hand ruthlessly tearing apart the ground of Kaikui Island, completely opening up the road that blocked the children of the night from heading to the Sunwell.

The Grand Magister himself was also completely engulfed by the phoenix flames, but in the flying flames like the golden meteor shower of the explosion, Elisande was nowhere to be seen, and there was not even a scream.

"Idiot! The all-powerful Time is on our side!"

The sarcastic voice of the Nightborne Queen sounded over the battlefield.

The space within a dozen yards around her position began to quickly turn into a weird khaki shape, and the reversal of time restored Elisande to her unscathed glory.

This wave of time reversal also restored the golden phoenix fire that hit the Grand Magister. As Elisande laughed, she waved the Sargeras scepter in her hand to cut space. He eliminated the magic that hit him before his eyes, and then swung the staff and threw it towards the towering wall of the Sunwell.

There was a loud "boom", and the golden phoenix flames hit the city wall like a meteorite.

The magic well's defense could not withstand its own power. This wave of clever and almost incomprehensible counterattacks successfully collapsed a small section of the gorgeous golden-red city wall.

On the high tower of the Sunwell, the aged Sun King Anastarian was leaning on a Sin'dorei gold staff with a face as cold as frost.

He realized that the situation had entered the most dangerous stage.

Faced with the Sun King's silence, Elisande acted very casually, as if the shocking blow just now was just a casual act of hers.

She was riding on her gorgeous snarling Demon Saber. When she raised her head, she met the Sun King's eyes.

Although the two had never met before, Elisande still felt a familiar aura from this old elf that seemed familiar to her. She said:

"You really look like Dath'Remar Sunstrider in my memory, whether it's in appearance, spirit, or the disgusting arrogance you exude.

I understand your desire to protect the country and its people, Anastarian.

You are a king and so am I.

You are not as good as your grandfather, but my stable rule transcends tens of thousands of years.

So, as an outstanding senior, let me give you some advice on governing the country. "

The Grand Magister's voice became deeper, and she said:

"Surrender now!

Suramar has never coveted the plants and trees of Quel'Thalas, all we need is magic! We can find a more peaceful way that satisfies the needs of both parties.

You will have peace and we will have abundance.

After all, we are all descendants of the Elf Empire, and there is no need for us to really decide our future with our blood here. "

Faced with the Grand Magister's "sincere" persuasion to surrender, the Sun King's reaction was quite direct.

He touched the golden staff in his hand to the ground, and as if giving an order, the next moment a golden magic waterfall burst out from the sunwell, wrapping the entire huge and gorgeous palace like a birdcage.

But the tower where the Sun King is located is outside the barrier composed of magic power.

This was his response to Elisande.

"Don't show that you are familiar with the Sunstrider family, Elisande, my grandfather and you were never friends! And don't show off the aura of a superior who deliberately imitates Queen Azshara.

You are not her.

You can never be her! "

Anastarian raised his head, and as the wind of magic blew his long hair flying, the magic from the Sun Well poured into the Sun King's body in a form of infusion, making his momentum rise steadily.

He shouted loudly:

"You are not the master of the elves, you are just a thief who stole the Queen's treasure and showed off his power!"

"You want the magic of the Quel'dorei elves?"

"Then come and get it with your own hands!"
