Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1800 26. Elisande withholds the appendix of fate 【Seeking Monthly Pass 23】

   "The devil is coming!"

   In the evening, a warning like a piercing scream crossed the defense line of the Great Temple, and then there was a low sound of elf horns echoing around.

The soldiers on the    position drew their weapons at this moment, the priests of the moon **** began to pray and the casters of the moon guard activated the shields around the temple.

The elf empire has an inexhaustible God-given Well of Eternity. Under the brilliance of the 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 them and their proportion among the people, Azshara's rule is absolutely unparalleled in space.

   Quel'Thalas, the country of magic in later generations, can't compare with it, and the children of Suramar Night, who claim to be the orthodox descendants of the Elf Empire, can touch porcelain in proportion, but their absolute strength is also far behind.

The spellcasters from 10,000 years ago were not outstanding in their spellcasting skills, which may seem a bit "vulgar" to the spellcasting masters of later generations, but thanks to the high magic environment of this era, the power of these spellcasters is far stronger. The descendants after ten thousand years.

Five minutes after the    warning, a magical barrier as thick as a city wall rose up around several large shrines with frontal positions like small cities. This was one of the reasons why Suramar City did not build a city wall.

  The city shields created by these crazy spellcasters collectively cast spells tossed out much more useful than masonry walls.

But such a thick shield can't actually change the current dilemma of the soldiers, because they have to face opponents they have never faced before, and those demons from the Twisting Void are marching in a "tidal surge" way , they tumbled down from the mountains on the border of the Suramar Plain, covering the sky like a black rolling curtain.

It was the tide of destruction that engulfed everything. Not only were the excess demons on the ground howling and destroyed everything, but there were also a lot of flying demons in the sky. When they flew up, their wings swung even obscured the twilight. Light.

And so many demons gather together, and the evil energy aura on their bodies continues to superimpose and expand, eventually forming a strange force that affects the natural ecology, making dark clouds burst into everywhere they go, and the darkness of the sky completely interprets what is called "Destroyer" "'s majesty.

The presence of such an enemy on the battlefield undoubtedly made the hearts of the elves heavy, and those commanders who had grown up in the war were suffocated by it.

   Lord Ravencrest has come to the front line at this time, and he is silent as he watches the tide of destruction rolling in front of him, leaning on his two-handed sword.

   Behind the high lord, Aria Lanyue, the adjutant, and the great magister Elisande even looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

  As spellcasting masters, the two ladies saw much more "truth" than the big bosses.

   They can clearly perceive the impact of these demons' charge on the minds of mortals and the dark augmentation exerted on the bodies and minds of these destroyed creations, which is an indescribable strange "reiki".

   It seems that higher-level beings are 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 classified information brought back by Moon Guard Illidan Stormrage is correct."

  The Great Magister Elisande said softly, leaning on his staff:

   "To fight the demonic legions, you must first find the commander of each demon and kill them. After stripping away the node of fel domination, these creations of destruction may be defeated by their chaotic nature."

   "It's no use knowing this."

   Looking at the demons who were already charging frantically 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 unit is on standby on the flanks of the battlefield."

   High Lord Ravencase said in a low tone:

   "I sent my best hunter, Kasparian, to lead the hunters of Black Rook Castle. As long as we can hold these demons in the front, they will have the opportunity to enter the battlefield from high altitude to hunt down the demon commanders.

   The boy I was optimistic about did not disappoint me. The news he brought back was very important to us, but now is not the time to talk about it.

   Elisande!

  You go to maintain the shield enchantment, and you must persist until the last moment.

  Blue Moon!

  You come to command the Moon Guard and Suramar's Mage Legion. I want you to do your best to separate the demons in front of you. We have no chance of winning with such a terrifying number of demons coming up!

   Dejana High Priest!

  I want to lead the priests of the moon to prepare for receiving the wounded and launching large-scale divine arts. According to the investigation results of His Majesty Shaohao, the divine power of the moon **** is very destructive to demons.

  You are my finale cards. "

   "As ordered."

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

The most famous lord of the empire took a few steps forward. He could feel that the eyes of the soldiers around him were all focused on him, and the first wave of the demons in front of him was less than a thousand meters away from the front line. .

   Already, frenzied demons began to cast their vile and disgusting evil magic in the direction of the field.

  The operation of the mages is very fast and deadly. Under the command of Ms. Blue Moon, the first wave of flaming meteorites has already roared down from the sky, but those demon lunatics did not dodge at all.

   They charge against the meteor, as if their evil life is meaningless.

   "Soldiers, behind us is Suramar, that is your hometown, where you have your relatives and friends! 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 from the glory of battle to see demons ravage your home and kill your children? Will you run away like cowards, leaving behind a scorned name? "

   No one answered the high lord.

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

   And the spearmen in the second row and the third row raised their spears and put them on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, and aimed at the enemy from the gap between the heavy shield wall.

  The rangers on the outpost tower at the rear raised their bows towards the sky. Under the command of the Ranger General, waves of deadly arrows roared into the enemy camp with various magics.

  In an instant, the first row of charging demons fell down in unison, and were crushed into flesh by the berserkers who charged later.

   The disgusting aura rose up and turned into a malicious screeching towards the position in front of him, but none of the soldiers put down their weapons because of fear.

   Farther away, heavily armored warriors riding black panthers comforted the restless mounts, hippogryph knights screamed and lifted into the air, and several mage towers began to echo with the power of frightening strategic magic.

The Monkey King in the army looked around curiously. This exotic demigod felt the bravery and sharpness of this elf army. He had always been stubborn and couldn't help comparing these elves with the Pandaren soldiers. Got a result that breaks my heart.

   Azshara's empire isn't rotten yet.

   At least the army under the command of High Lord Kutalos Ravencrest is not rotten, 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, and his voice grew louder.

   "These destructive creatures from the twisted world are going to destroy our world for their dark gods. They are menacing, they are defiant.

   They think the life of this world is a bunch of cowards, they want to tear us apart and eat our flesh. "

  The high lord clenched the sword in his hand, and his low and sonorous voice spread across the frontline battlefield at this moment.

   he cried:

   "But we will tell them with practical actions that our world and the earth under our feet have never been the home of cowards, and we will respond to this ridiculous maliciousness with the sword and shield in our hands!

  We are standing here!

soldiers!

   I'm standing here!

   One of them, and we'll kill one, till the demons flee in fear, till their **** of darkness roars in rage, till we fight to the last man.

   For Surama! Never give in! "

   "Boom"

The moment the    high lord's voice fell, the first wave of demonic charges rushed forward like a tidal wave and hit the reef head-on.

Those hideous demon guards slammed into the tower shield of the elves with their big axes. Hundreds of elves were immediately knocked away, but more demons were blocked in place, and then the piercing spears pierced their bodies fiercely. tear.

The elven warriors carrying axes and spears slashed from the flanks, and the black panther heavy cavalry rushed out of the position under the cover of the never-ending rain of arrows, and on the Moon Temple in the rear, the magic called by the high priests was like light. Under the cannon, the bright moonlight purifies hundreds of demons in an instant, and also applies the grace of the moon **** to the fearless warrior.

   Another round of meteorite torrential rain mixed with the blizzard smashed down, forcibly splitting the array of demon strikers, and then the blood-stained elf tower shield array spread out.

   Under the leadership of Ravencrest, who was wearing black armor and a red cape, the most powerful Black Raven Guards filed out, like unparalleled sharp arrows piercing the chaotic group of demons, pushing out all the way.

   In this scene, the blood of the Monkey King was boiling, he laughed and jumped out after him.

   These hairless idiots are not bad.

—

   "It can't go on like this."

   On a mage tower outside the Moon Temple, the great magister Elisande clearly saw with the eyes of a mage that Lord Ravencrest was commanding the soldiers to counterattack.

   This scene made the surrounding spellcasters breathe a sigh of relief, but Elisande still frowned.

  Although she is the great arcanist of the court, she also participated in the war.

   The demons in front of him are obviously much more dangerous than the army of trolls, and the morale bonus of the high lord makes the soldiers temporarily forget their fears and follow the nobles to charge and kill the enemy, but such morale cannot last long.

   Within minutes of the start of the war, Elisande noticed the horribly high death rate of the front-line soldiers.

   With the elite fighting power of Black Rook Castle under Ravencase's command, it should have penetrated the position of the demon striker, but even if Ravencase himself led the charge, he was still forcibly blocked by the demons when he only rushed to a third of the distance.

   This made the Great Magister's face instantly gloomy.

   "It's not a one-level fight at all."

   Elisande thought:

   "The demons have an advantage in numbers, and their individual combat power is so terrifying. It seems that Her Majesty the Queen has found incredible allies. Thinking about it, it is impossible for a proud ruler like her to ally with other forces casually.

The Queen    said to create a perfect paradise for the Highborne, she was so confident that she even killed a magic prince and destroyed a city with her own hands before going to war.

   It looks like I made a reckless decision.

   The future of this rebel army is bleak. "

  The Great Magister squinted his eyes and scolded the surrounding spellcasters to strengthen their shields, while thinking in his heart:

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

  The high lord needs Suramar's resources to stabilize the front, but after today's battle, I am afraid that he himself has no certainty of winning.

   I had to plan ahead.

   There are still millions of elves in the city of Suramar. Once the demons break through the defense line, the city will inevitably bleed into a river, that is my city, that is my people

   I had to figure out the best of both worlds. "

Thinking of this, Elisande raised his head and glanced at the barrier that was still solid under the attack of the flying demons. Those flying demons were so stupid and crazy to attack this shield with their claws, but their attacks could only be done in the great shield. The shield splashed with little ripples.

  The Great Magister suddenly lit up.

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

  In the case of not surrendering to the queen and not betraying the great lord, she can survive the next disaster in a "neutral" way.

Before the queen went mad, she sent an arcane relic to Suramar. She intended 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, the No. 2 Magic Well would have already started testing

   But all the elements are there.

  If you complete the magic well and mobilize the arcane holy artifact, the power of the pillar of creation will create an inexhaustible shield for Suramar, imitating the well of eternity.

  The more the Great Magister thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was brilliant.

   She doesn't even need to make a choice between the two, she just needs to be patient.

   Elisande looked at the battlefield. The madness of the demons caused heavy damage to the army under the command of Lord Ravencrest. The ten minutes since the start of this battle have caused the Black Ravens to break their bones.

  Ravencase is not an iron idiot. As long as he realizes that the demon is unstoppable, he will come up with this suggestion that can save the elf civilization fire, and he will most likely support it.

   Wonderful!

   But there is a big premise in doing so.

  The Great Magister thought:

   "Someone must be able to resist the demon army, at least to suppress the dark fantasy of the queen. Once Ravencrest's resistance is defeated, even if Suramar supports the shield, it will inevitably be destroyed under the demon's army.

   That is not the real Well of Eternity after all.

   But what if the Well of Eternity did not exist? "

   An extremely arrogant thought welled up in Elisande's heart.

  As a spellcaster, she is all too familiar with portals. If the information she has received so far is true, then the way to cut off the catastrophe that is ravaging the world by demons couldn’t be easier.

   A portal without an energy source is nothing.

   So the key is not whether the rebels can resist the demons. The key to the problem is the Well of Eternity, the imperial treasure that the world bestows on the elves.

   Strange thoughts rose rapidly in the Great Magister's mind, and it seemed that there was an invisible force guiding her thinking in that arrogant direction that no elves dared to think.

  The Great Magister felt that his thoughts were especially active today.

   Well, it may be because the brutal killings on the battlefield stimulated her thinking. In short, Elisande felt that she was holding the pulse of fate.

   But she is a cautious person.

   She has to wait for the perfect time before she can tell her thoughts to the commanders.

"we won!"

   Just when Elisande fell into deep thought, the mages around him exclaimed with joy, which awakened the great magister.

   She looked up at the position, and the demons who recklessly attacked the elf position had obvious confusion, while the demons further away formed a strange "vortex".

   They seem to be after some daring bastards, and the whole battlefield is in chaos.

  The hidden demon commander was killed by the hunters

"win?"

  The Great Magister sneered at the joy of the mages. She looked at the dark and invisible demon army in the distance. She curled her lips and said:

   "It's not that far, it's just that they say 'hello' to us."
