Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1800 26. Elisande holds the appendix of fate [Please vote 23]

"The devil is coming!"

A warning sound in the evening sounded like a piercing scream across the defense line of the Great Temple, and then the low sound of elven horns echoed around.

The soldiers in the position drew their weapons at this moment, the Luna Priests began to pray and the Moon Guard's spellcasters activated the shields around the temple.

The Elf Empire possesses the well of eternity, a God-given gift that will never be exhausted. Under the radiance of that magic well, the elves have excellent magical talents. Although not all elves love and accept the power of magic, when it comes to casting spells alone, In terms of the number of warriors and their proportion among the people, the country under Azshara's rule is absolutely unparalleled in space.

The magical nation of Quel'Thalas in later generations will not be able to compete with it. The Night Children of Suramay, who claim to be the orthodox descendants of the Elven Empire, are comparable in terms of proportion, but their absolute strength is far behind.

The spellcasters of 10,000 years ago were not outstanding in spellcasting skills, and were considered a bit "vulgar" by later generations of spellcasting masters. However, thanks to the high magic environment of this era, these spellcasters were far more powerful. His descendants ten thousand years later.

Five minutes after the warning, magic barriers as thick as city walls rose up around several large temples with frontal positions similar to those of small cities. This was one of the reasons why Suramar City did not build a city wall.

The city shield created by the collective spell casting of these crazy spellcasters is much better than the masonry city wall.

But such a thick shield cannot actually change the soldiers' current predicament, because they have to face opponents they have never faced before. The demons from the twisted void are marching in a "tidal surge" , they roll down from the mountains on the border of the Suramar Plains, blocking out the sky and the sun like a black tumbling curtain.

It was a tide of destruction that engulfed all things. Not only were the super demons on the ground howling forward to destroy everything, but there were also many flying demons in the sky. Their waving wings even obscured the sky at dusk. Light.

And so many demons gathered together, and the evil energy fields on their bodies continued to superimpose and expand, eventually forming a strange force that affected the natural ecology. Dark clouds formed wherever they went, and the sky and the darkness completely explained what it means to be a "destroyer". "The majesty of the people.

The appearance of such an enemy on the battlefield will undoubtedly make the hearts of the elves heavy, and the commanders who have grown up in the war are suffocated by it.

Lord Ravencrest had already arrived at the front line at this time. He leaned on his two-handed sword and looked at the rolling tide of destruction in front of him in silence.

Behind the great lord, the adjutant Elya Blue Moon and the great mage Elisande looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

As masters of spellcasting, the two ladies have obviously seen much more "truth" than the big-headed soldiers.

They can clearly sense the impact of these demons on the minds of mortals when they charge, and the increase in darkness exerted on the bodies and minds of these destructive creatures. It is an indescribable weird "aura".

It seems that there are higher-level beings leading them, spurring them, and "protecting" them. Until that "upper node" is destroyed, the destructive minds of these demons will not be affected in any way.

"The confidential information brought back by Moon Warder Illidan Stormrage is correct."

Grand Magister Elisande leaned on his staff and said softly:

"To fight against the demon army, you must first find the commanders of each demon army and kill them. After stripping away the nodes of evil energy dominance, these destructive creations can be defeated because of their chaotic nature."

"It's no use knowing this."

Looking at the demons who had begun to charge wildly in front of him, Dean Lanyue frowned and said:

"It's hard to find those demon commanders on such a huge battlefield, and we don't have time to arrange them in advance."

"My Hunter troops are on standby on the flanks of the battlefield."

High Lord Ravencase said in a low tone:

"I sent my best hunter Kasperian to command the hunters of Black Crow Castle. As long as we can hold these demons in front, they will have the opportunity to enter the battlefield from high altitude to hunt the demon commander.

The boy I was optimistic about did not disappoint me. The news he brought back was very important to us, but now is no longer the time to talk about this.

Elisande!

You must maintain the shield barrier until the very end.

Blue Moon!

You come to command the Moon Guard and Suramar's mage army. I want you to do your best to separate the demons in front of you. With such a terrifying number of demons coming at us, we have no chance of winning!

Chief Priest Dejana!

I want you to lead the priests of the moon to be ready to respond to the wounded and launch large-scale magical spells. According to the investigation results of His Majesty Shaohao, the divine power of the moon god is very lethal to demons.

You are my final trump card. "

"As commanded."

Lord Ravencrest's order was immediately implemented, but he himself did not choose to sit in the rear.

The most famous lord in the empire took a few steps forward. He could feel the eyes of the surrounding soldiers focused on him, and the first wave of demon vanguards in front of him were less than a kilometer away from the front line of the position. .

Already, frantic demons have begun to project their vile and disgusting evil magic in the direction of the position.

The operations of the mages were very fast and deadly. Under the command of Ms. Blue Moon, the first wave of flaming meteorites roared down from the sky, but those demonic lunatics did not dodge at all.

They charge at the meteorite as if their evil lives mean nothing.

"Soldiers, behind us is Suramar. That is your hometown, where your relatives and friends are! I will not give up my territory and hand it over to the demons to wreak havoc. Soldiers, I ask you!

Will you?

Will you flee the glory of battle and watch demons ravage your homes and kill your children? Will you run away like cowards and leave behind a scoffed reputation? "

No one answered the High Lord.

But under the instructions of the commander, the Black Crow Guards at the front raised their tower shields and plunged them into the ground. In an instant, a black shield wall stood in front of the demon's charge.

The spearmen in the second and third rows raised their spears and placed them on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, aiming at the enemy from the gap between the heavy shield walls.

The rangers on the sentry tower further behind raised their bows toward the sky. Under the instructions of the ranger general, waves of deadly arrows roared into the enemy camp accompanied by various magics.

In an instant, the first row of charging demons all fell down and were crushed to pieces by the subsequent charging berserkers.

The disgusting aura rose up and turned into a vicious scream towards the position in front of them, but no soldier put down his weapon out of fear.

Further away, heavily armored warriors riding black panthers calmed their restless mounts. Hippogryph knights roared into the air, and several mage towers began to echo the power of frightening strategic magic.

The Monkey King in the military formation looked around curiously. This foreign demigod felt the bravery and sharpness of this elven army. It had always been naughty and could not help but compare these elves with the Pandaren soldiers. Finally, Get a result that breaks your heart.

Azshara's empire isn't in ruins yet.

At least the army under Lord Kutalos Ravencrest is not dead yet. No wonder the savage trolls have been beaten by this group of war elves for hundreds of years.

Lord Ravencrest's pre-war declaration continued, his voice getting louder and louder.

"These destructive creatures from a twisted world seek to destroy our world for their dark god. They are menacing and defiant.

They think that all life in this world is a bunch of cowards, and they want to tear us apart and feast on our flesh and blood. "

The great lord clenched the sword in his hand, and his deep and sonorous voice spread throughout the frontline battlefield at this moment.

He shouted:

“But we will tell them with practical actions that our world and the land under our feet have never been the home of cowards, and we will use the swords and shields in our hands to fiercely respond to this ridiculous malice!

Here we stand!

soldiers!

I'm standing right here!

Every time they come, we kill every one, until the demons flee in fear, until their god of darkness roars with rage, until we fight to the last man.

For Suramar! Never give in! "

"boom"

The moment the great lord finished speaking, the first wave of demon charges came like a tide and hit the rocks head-on.

Those ferocious demon guards swung their big axes and hit the elves' tower shields. Hundreds of elves were immediately knocked away, but more demons were blocked in place, and then the piercing spears fiercely penetrated their bodies. Tear.

The elven warriors carrying axes and spears slashed from the flanks. The Black Panther heavy cavalry roared and rushed out of the position under the cover of the never-ending rain of arrows. On the Moon Temple in the rear, the high-level priests called for divine magic like light. The cannon hit, and the bright moonlight purified hundreds of demons in an instant, while also applying the grace of the moon god to the fearless warriors.

Another round of meteorite rain mixed with the blizzard hit down, forcibly dividing the array of demon forwards, and then the blood-stained elf tower shield array spread out.

Under the personal leadership of Ravencrest, who was wearing black armor and a red cloak, the most capable Black Crow Guards filed out, piercing into the chaotic group of demons like unparalleled arrows, pushing back all the way.

Seeing this scene, the Monkey King's blood boiled with excitement, and he laughed and jumped after him.

These hairless idiots are not bad.

——

"This can't go on like this."

On a mage tower outside the Temple of the Moon, Grand Mage Elisande used his mage eyes to clearly see Lord Ravencrest commanding the soldiers to counterattack.

This scene made the surrounding spellcasters relax, but Elisande still frowned.

Although she is the Grand Arcanist of the Palace, she has also participated in the war.

The demons in front of them were obviously much more dangerous than the troll army, and the great lord's morale bonus made the soldiers temporarily forget their fear and follow the nobles to charge and kill the enemy, but this kind of morale could not last long.

Only a few minutes after the war started, Elisande noticed the horribly high death rate of frontline soldiers.

With the combat power of the elite Black Crow Castle under Ravencase, they should have penetrated the demon forward position, but even though Ravencase personally led the charge, they were still forcibly blocked by the demons when they only reached one-third of the distance.

This made the Grand Mage's face darken instantly.

"This is not a fight on the same level at all."

Elisande thought:

"While the demons have a numerical advantage, their individual combat power is also so terrifying. It seems that Her Majesty the Queen has indeed found a great ally. Think about it, it is impossible for a proud ruler like her to form alliances with other forces casually.

The Queen said she wanted to create a perfect paradise for the Highborne. She was so confident that she even killed a magical prince and destroyed a city before the war began.

It seems I made a rash decision.

The future of this resistance army is worrying. "

The Grand Mage squinted his eyes, scolded the surrounding spellcasters to strengthen their shields, and thought in his heart:

"In this situation, it is probably impossible to surrender to the Queen. With such an ally, she will not accept a capricious subordinate, and betraying Ravencrest at this time is even worse.

The high lord needs Suramar's resources to stabilize the front, but after today's battle, he may not even be sure of victory.

I must plan ahead.

There are millions of elves in the city of Suramar. Once the demons break through the defense line, the city will inevitably flow into a river of blood. That is my city, and those are my people.

I had to find a way to get the best of both worlds. "

Thinking of this, Elisande raised his head and glanced at the defensive barrier that was still stable under the attack of the flying demons. Those flying demons were stupid and crazy enough to use their claws to attack the shield, but their attacks could only be carried out by the big guard. Ripples splashed on the shield.

The Grand Magister's eyes suddenly lit up.

If she doesn't want to fight or be destroyed, then she actually has a third way to go.

As long as the queen does not surrender or betray the great lord, she can completely survive the next disaster in a "neutral" way.

Before the Queen went crazy, she sent an arcane relic to Suramar. Her original intention was to imitate the plan of the Well of Eternity to create a second magic well in Suramar. Elisande was responsible for that ambitious plan. .

If it weren't for this sudden war, Magic Well No. 2 would have started testing by now.

But all the elements are present.

If you complete the magic well and mobilize the arcane sacred object, the power of the Pillars of Creation can imitate the Well of Eternity to create a large, inexhaustible shield for Suramar.

The more the Grand Mage thought about it, the more wonderful the idea became.

She didn't even have to choose between the two sides, she just had to wait patiently.

Elisande looked at the battlefield. The madness of the demons caused heavy damage to the army under Lord Ravencrest. The Black Crow Army had been injured for more than ten minutes since the battle began.

Ravencrest is not a stubborn idiot. As long as he realizes that the devil is unstoppable, and then puts forward this suggestion that can preserve the fire of elven civilization, he will most likely support it.

Wonderful!

But there is a big prerequisite for doing so.

The Great Magister thought in his mind:

"There must be someone who can resist the demonic soldiers, or at least suppress the queen's dark fantasy. Once Ravencrest's resistance collapses, even if Suramar holds up a shield, it will be destroyed by the demonic soldiers.

That's not the real Well of Eternity after all.

But what if the Well of Eternity no longer exists? "

An extremely arrogant idea came to Elisande's mind.

As a spellcaster, she is very familiar with things like portals. If the news she has received so far is true, then the method to intercept the disasters caused by demons ravaging the world could not be simpler.

A portal without its energy source is nothing.

So the key is not whether the rebels can resist the devil, the key to the problem is the Well of Eternity, the imperial treasure that the world gave to the elves.

Weird thoughts were rising rapidly in the Grand Mage's mind, and it seemed that there was an invisible force guiding her thoughts in that arrogant direction that no elf dared to think about.

The Grand Magister felt that his thoughts were particularly active today.

Well, maybe it was because the brutal killings on the battlefield stimulated her thinking. In short, Elisande felt that she had grasped the pulse of fate.

But she is a cautious person.

She had to wait for the perfect time to reveal her thoughts to the commanders.

"we won!"

Just when Elisande was deep in thought, the mages around him exclaimed with joy, awakening the Grand Mage.

She raised her head and looked towards the position. The demons who recklessly attacked the elven position were in obvious confusion, and the demons further away formed a strange "whirlpool".

They seemed to be hunting some bold bastards, and the whole battlefield was in chaos.

The hidden demon commander was killed by the hunters

"win?"

The Grand Magister sneered at the joy of the mages. She looked at the black and invisible demon army formation farther away. She curled her lips and said:

"It's not even close. This is just them saying 'hello' to us."
