Menethil's Power

Chapter 610
Azsuna.

It's hard to imagine how beautiful this land used to be. The moist moisture from the ocean blows the greenery on the wilderness, and the light blue unicorns play by the clear and aura-filled springs.

But now these sights can no longer be seen.

The completely barren land gradually withered and turned into pitch-black rocks. Sulfur-smelling magma replaced rivers flowing in this land. The Burning Legion did not capture Azsuna, but it has actually occupied a large area of ​​its land.

This sight is common on worlds overrun by the Legion, signifying that fel energy is encroaching on all physical material elements.

Through the translucent shield of Blue Wing Habitat, Arthas watched this bleak scene. The spread of evil energy meant that the coalition forces were constantly losing ground, and it also meant that the Starwell domain was constantly shrinking.

This temporary source of magic has stimulated the tide of flames several times before. After the first use of this kind of energy eruption, it is impossible to produce any amazing effects. The demons will maintain the offensive at a certain intensity and no longer attack on a large scale The two sides fell into a stalemate. After the casualties of the coalition forces reached a certain level, Alsace had to order to activate the flame tide again to defuse a wave of the Burning Legion's offensive. After that, the demons made a comeback and started again.

However, this did buy time. If other aspects are not considered, it can be said that the goal that Isaacs explained was completed.

And the price is that the energy level of the Star Well plummets. After all, it is different from the Well of Eternity in essence. It is just water without roots. Although a lot of Azerite has been invested and a recycling system has been built, it cannot withstand it. so consumed.

Arthas rubbed his temples, he has been suffering from headaches since the war, and now he is getting used to it, how long has it been?In about half a month, nearly one-third of the troops suffered more than half of the casualties and even had to withdraw their serial numbers. The loss was very staggering.

But from another perspective, the record is also astonishing. For the Lordaeron army 20 years ago, even if it only suffered half of the casualties, it has completely collapsed. This is mainly due to morale and various weapons and equipment. The problem of relative weakness of individuals is still a major problem. Those recruited to fight against the Burning Legion are the elite of Lordaeron, but their individual strength is still not as good as that of allies such as dwarves and elves.

A group of mortals, with a total number of tens of thousands, can wipe out demons several times larger than their own. This is enough to prove that Isaacs' vision for Lordaeron's military development is accurate. Weapons, batches of advanced standard weapons are the key Well, a Lordaeron soldier is weaker than a dwarf or an elf, but their level of intelligence and weapon handling is at least superficially indistinguishable.

It is an inevitable historical trend for human beings that hot weapons eliminate cold weapons, even in the magical world.

In contrast, the allies of other human kingdoms are a bit miserable. Of course, the so-called human allies are the expeditionary forces of Stormwind. Among the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity, Dalaran and Alterac are already historical terms, and Stromgarde It has just been rebuilt, and now it is dealing with a powerful gang of thieves that suddenly appeared in the country. It would be nice not to ask for help. Gilneas has already withdrawn from the alliance. What happened to Danlun again? As for Kul Tiras, according to the meeting before the station, they were responsible for sniping demons from the sea, but no one thought that demons would not travel by water at all...

Varian is a born warrior, and as we all know, warriors can't stop charging. The young king took the lead in attacking, but demons don't pay attention to chivalry. It didn't take long for Varian to fall victim to a high-ranking evil-eyed judge. Soul Siphon, if the Red Dragon Queen hadn't arrived, the alliance would have lost another king.

Under Alsace's strong insistence, the weak Varian was sent back to Stormwind City with a teleportation spell. Whether it was a friend or an ally, Alsace didn't want anything to happen to him. The stronger Varian shut up, "Think about your son."

Just when Arthas was a little dazed, an elegant voice came from not far away, "These mortals are gradually exhausted, and our people are constantly sacrificing. When do you think we will continue to wait, Kronom?" ?”

The one who spoke was a tall and slender female night elf with a beautiful face. She had emerald-like eyes and a pair of small dragon horns in her lush emerald-colored hair, which showed her noble status.

The Green Dragon Queen Ysera, one of the most noble and powerful actresses in this world, Arthas met her during the Battle of Quel'Thalas, but this was the first time he saw the dragon queen human form.

The dragon joined in the middle of the battle, appeared in time, and shared the great pressure, so that the air supremacy was no longer completely under the control of the Burning Legion.

Opposite Ysera was a tall female elf with the same figure, but with fair skin, her long black hair and blue-purple eyes made it hard to tell what kind of dragon she was, and Arthas was From the mouths of other dragons, it is known that she represents the most mysterious bronze dragon.

What surprised Alsace even more was that this bronze dragon with a beautiful elf girl appearance and an extremely weird name seemed to be very familiar with his brother, and this familiarity was definitely not limited to the familiarity between friends.

Another one, Alsace is actually used to it, but he still has a complex feeling of not knowing whether to express admiration or disdain.

"Haven't we already discussed it?" Kronom's tone was brisk, and he was the one who seemed the most relaxed among the people present, but the dragons are used to the bronze dragons showing such a well-thought-out look, "The Burning Legion There are demons that are close to the top level over there. Although it is not clear whether they are polluters or fraudsters, they may even come. You are the only one who can threaten their existence, so we can only form this kind of situation where neither side will take action. The situation is confronting each other."

"But the longer the time delays, the more beneficial it will be for the demons." Ysera frowned slightly, "The evil atmosphere on that beach is getting stronger and stronger, even if it is the trend during the War of the Ancients, the number of these demons will not be long. It will reach a level sufficient to sweep the world."

As a dragon king, she naturally has excellent insights, and the dragon who has experienced the battle of the ancients has a particularly deep memory of that period.

She turned to look at Arthas, "Mortal, Kronom assured us that such waiting is worthwhile, but I still doubt whether you are prepared enough."

"Strictly speaking, I don't know the meaning of this perseverance." Alsace said honestly: "Isaacs just asked us to delay the Burning Legion for a while, and we did it."

"What?" Ysera raised her eyebrows.

"Don't be so excited, my sister." The red dragon queen Alexstrasza has a mature and seductive charm as always. She is also in human form at this time. Seven points of imagination, a bit less mature, a bit more agile and charming.

Alsace nodded slightly to the red dragon girl. The Dragon Clan was able to arrive in time without the two dragon kings, the blue dragon and the bronze dragon, thanks to his "sister-in-law".

"The current situation is indeed not good, but we should see hope from it." Alexstrasza said: "After the night elves, another mortal race can fight side by side with us. This is a good thing." '

"Aunt Ysera, Alsace should have something to say, Isaacs is trustworthy, and he should have made arrangements." Christaza said softly.

When that name was mentioned, even Ysera couldn't help showing a strange look in her eyes. In order to facilitate communication, Isaacs had already announced to other giant dragons the "secret" that he was a bronze dragon that had been hidden for a long time, which also made him He became an outlier in the eyes of the Dragon Clan.

Giant dragons are generally observed secretly when they are mixed with mortals, and they seldom directly interfere with mortal affairs. No dragon will panic and arrange for himself a prince to command mortals, and the combination of cross-dragon species is unprecedented. This maverick bronze dragon actually took a fancy to Alexstrasza's daughter.

However, since neither the bronze dragon nor the red dragon felt that there was anything wrong with Athenom, Ysera would not comment on this maverick dragon descendant.

"Although I don't know what brother is preparing, we are indeed about to start the next phase of the plan." Alsace said at this time.

"What's the plan?" Kristaza asked.

After Isaacs left for the Broken Isles more than a month ago, she immediately went back to the clan to find her mother, so she didn't know Isaacs' plan yet.

Alexstrasza also showed some curiosity.

Being stared at by so many humanoid dragons, Arthas felt a little embarrassed, "Well, it can be called an invincible Hearthstone... Oh no, it's a proper retreat plan."

"Retreat?" Christaza suddenly felt a little funny.The two dragon queens were a little dazed, and they didn't expect such a plan.

Created a source of energy, fought for so long, and agreed to control the war in the Broken Isles area, but now they say they want to retreat?

Besides, how to retreat from the siege of demons?Where can I retreat to?
"Invincible Hearthstone?" Kristaza thought for a while, "I probably understand."

"Brother said that in such an unequal war, we should focus on maintaining our vitality," Arthas explained, "He asked us to hold back the Burning Legion for half a month, and if we exceed this time limit or are unable to resist, we will start a legitimate retreat plan The rune circle in the Bluewing Habitat not only has the function of the flame tide, it also has the function of stimulating all the energy of the Star Well, forming a short-term powerful protective force field, and then teleporting the entire Bluewing Habitat to the east kingdom."

This is simply unbelievable, sending it together with the land?
"Teleport to where?" Christaza asked.

"The Crater of Dalaran."

When Dalaran was destroyed, Jaina took the Violet Castle. After the floating city flew up, a huge pothole was left in its original position, which was full of arcane energy.

This was planned from the very beginning. The Archmage Vargos and other mages who arranged the rune circle before did not participate in the battle. They are constantly improving and debugging the circle for this purpose. They are all former members of the Kirin Tor. Yes The spatial coordinates of Dalaran can be said to be familiar by heart.

In fact, if there is not such a way out, even Alsace would not believe that he has the ability to become the commander of this battle. After all, the psychological pressure of the last stand is too great, and it is difficult for a rookie commander like him to bear it. Can live.

"I see." Christaza shook her head and chuckled, "I just said how Isaacs can let you stay here with confidence."

Alsace blushed slightly.

He quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, he was an adult and had sufficient control over his emotions. "I have ordered all the ministries to shrink, and soon there will be a limited range of flame tides to cover their retreat. When everyone is in the force field, the teleportation will begin."

In fact, this plan has already had signs. For example, although Malygos has not regained his sanity and cannot fight, but the blue dragon clan not only sent a few adult blue dragons to assist the red dragon and green dragon, but also tried their best to help transfer the blue wing habitat. Earth's young dragon.Before Arthas persuaded Varian, there was still a subtext, that is, in the end, everyone will teleport and run away.

"Then what about our Dragon Clan?" Kristaza had to ask one more question because it was related to her own family group.

"You can transform into human form and teleport with us." Alsace suggested.

Everything seems to be in place.

However, at this moment, a voice sounded in Alsace's ear. He has been used to communicating through the Protos spiritual channel during this period of time, so he didn't find it strange, "This is the Hyperion, Your Highness Alsace, can you hear me?" Are you there?"

"What's the matter?" Alsace's expression froze, and he recognized the voice of Captain Matt of the Hyperion.

"The Punishment Legion is in trouble." Matt's voice was still calm, but what he said was obviously not good news, "They are surrounded, this should be a premeditated siege, there is a special force Interference space, I can't turn them back to the Hyperion."

Alsace's face changed drastically. Although he expected that there would be sacrifices from the rear or forced rear troops, it should definitely not be the Heaven's Punishment Legion!That team condensed a lot of my brother's hard work!

"Is there any other way to rescue them? Even some fire support will do." Alsace asked hastily.

Ground support can't be counted on for the time being, and we can only wait for the last tide of flames, and now we can only pin our hopes on the air force.

"Our ship is moving towards them with all its strength, but encountered a large number of flying demons blocking it. It is estimated that it will take half an hour to break through the blockade."

For half an hour, with the elite of the Heaven's Punishment Legion, it should be possible to survive this period of time, Alsace could only comfort himself.

But reason told him that was not the case. If this was a premeditated siege by the demons, then they must have sent a sufficiently powerful existence. It is completely unknown how long the Heaven's Punishment Legion can last.

May the Holy Light bless you, he muttered subconsciously.
