Chapter 251: Defense of Quel'Thalas (Part 1)
The high elves, or blood elves, of Quel'Thalas are the only racial force that the Salvation Army has not been able to accept this time. Although there are high elf mages in the Alliance's army, in fact these high elves have already broken away. The "traitor elves" of Quel'Thalas, most of them are the descendants of mixed elves and humans who have lived in the human world for a long time or supported Thoradin. In addition to their inherent elven characteristics, they have completely He regarded himself as a human being, and the blood elves of Quel'Thalas were "pure-blooded" high elves in the true sense. They were a proud race under the leadership of Prince Kael'thas, and they were originally only because of the ancient agreement. They symbolically provided some mage support to the Human Alliance, but when Kael'thas was expelled back to his homeland in humiliation, and the former human prince Arthas led the undead army to destroy most of the elven kingdom, the blood elves There was an absolute confrontation between the Alliance and the Alliance. When the Human Alliance joined the Salvation Army, this group of arrogant elves actually directly rejected our invitation.
This was indeed beyond our expectations at the time, but if we think about it carefully, it is also consistent with common sense. The elves are originally a very proud race, especially the blood elves in this world. They are proficient in magic and can gain insight into this through the study of arcane arts. The nature of the world, the knowledgeable blood elf astrologers even have the concept of stellar principles. They are like scientists in the magical world. Profound knowledge has always been the greatest force that destroys faith. Their own strength and their understanding of arcane magic Mastery makes those blood elves' belief in "gods" far less than their admiration for magic. Looking at the history of the high elves, whether it was the use of the Well of Eternity to bring about the first burning coming in the ancient times, or Illidan's Under the leadership of Malfurion, he insisted on rebuilding arcane magic and even triggered a magical storm in Ashenvale. In the original history, Kael'thas' crazy move to rebuild the sunwell and summon Kil'jaeden - the toilet, the blood elves' love for magic. Their fanaticism has obviously completely surpassed their reverence for this world and the gods. They are completely different from their gentle and peaceful distant relatives in other worlds. The blood elves in this world are an impatient and restless race, and -Weak faith.
This directly led to the Salvation Army's failure to successfully deceive the large group of handsome guys and beauties.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that we did not go to Silver Moon City specifically to perform a "miracle". No matter how you look at it, the humans who just sent their princes back to their hometowns sent envoys to "invite" these arrogant elves. Joining the coalition forces, this kind of behavior after the fact is so stupid...
In any case, the failure of the blood elves to join the Salvation Army was due to our original planning mistakes.
But this time we seem to have found an opportunity.
Sylvanas can control low-level undead creatures, and the Scourge has not deployed too high-level troops in an unimportant place like the Ghost Land. If Sylvanas' undead racial skills can be used to control the entire As for the corpse tide in the Land of Ghosts, we can not only resolve this crisis, but we can even use these millions of cannon fodder to launch a beautiful counterattack. No matter how you look at it, this is a dream-like idea.
Originally, this idea was just a good idea, because Sylvanas's power was limited after all. How could an army of millions of undead be controlled by control? I've never heard of anyone who could do that, except for Ice Tuo from Northrend - who's now defrosted, of course.
However, Sylvanas put forward her own idea: to use the magic network that runs throughout Azeroth to integrate her spirit into it, thus greatly enhancing her mental control and realizing the control of millions of people. Although it is impossible for the command of the undead to control the undead in the entire Eastern Continent, it is still possible to seize control of the undead in the ghost land closest to the magic network node in a short period of time.
The location of the nearest magic network node is naturally in the blood elf kingdom with unprecedentedly developed magical civilization - Quel'Thalas
"What are the chances of success?" I asked with a serious expression. I have heard about the Magic Network in the past few days. According to the research of Xiling technicians, this magical energy system runs through the entire world and assumes many responsibilities. The operation and distribution of all magic elements, not only on the planet Azeroth, but even between other galaxies in this universe, there is a larger and more sophisticated magic network. They are the energy carriers of the entire world. They are as ubiquitous as gravity, and the energy they contain is the basis for the operation of this world. Integrating one's mental power into the magic network to increase power far beyond the limits of mortals is definitely a crazy idea. You know, even the craziest blood elf arcanists only study the magic network and carefully extract energy from it. No one dares to risk their souls to integrate spiritual power into it.
Of course, Sylvanas also knew the danger of doing so: "I don't know, no one has ever made such an attempt, but this is a shortcut after all, and we don't have time to waste."
I quietly looked at the other party's shining red eyes, sighed and said, "Okay, we can try, but you have to be more careful. I will forcibly terminate the ceremony if necessary, so you have to be prepared."
"That's best," Sylvanas stood up, "Then I have to go back and prepare."
Sylvanas went out, and we began to discuss the shortest route from here to the defensive barrier of Quel'Thalas.
I had vaguely guessed that Sylvanas' purpose might not be that simple. Another idea she had was to save her former home.
Even though she is undead, even though her heart has stopped beating, even though the blood from the high elves has cooled and solidified, Sylvanas still cannot forget her hometown. In this undead uprising, Quel'Thalas will inevitably Affected, for the Blood Elf Kingdom, which was already empty of houses, it would be a miracle to survive the sudden wave of undead for three days.
And if we want to use the magic network nodes of Quel'Thalas to control the undead army in Ghostland, we must definitely assist the blood elves.
But this is exactly in line with my thoughts. If we can take this opportunity to bring the blood elves to our side, it will undoubtedly be a great thing. Although the latter's current strength is not as good as before, but what they have mastered Advanced arcane knowledge is still an intangible asset that cannot be underestimated.
The plan to send troops to support Quel'Thalas was unanimously approved by us, and envoys from all races also expressed support for this plan. In fact, in addition to the fact that the night elves and their blood elf distant relatives have a series of historical grievances, Ai There is no hatred between the various races in the world of Xerath and the blood elves - of course, we have to exclude the troll family, which is also one of the possible embarrassments after accepting the blood elves.
As for the second embarrassment, naturally it is the humans who are now hated to the core by the blood elves...
What surprised me a little was that humans didn't object to this plan, but after thinking about it for a moment, I felt that this was actually quite reasonable. After all, the break between the blood elves and the human alliance should be attributed to that arrogant idiot Garithos. Grant, and most humans are not disgusted with the blood elves, especially in such a critical period. Anyone who is not a fool should be able to understand the overall situation. In addition, the human representatives themselves also know that the main fault party for the blood elves leaving the alliance was On his own side, so even though he knew that there was a huge gap between the two sides, the human representatives did not express opposition to this plan.
Although the human paladin named Victor is still so extreme and annoying in his attitude towards the undead, he is at least smarter when dealing with the blood elves.
In the end, the candidates who went to support Quel'Thalas were determined. Pandora and I, who have the strongest dps, were naturally selected, while Alaya was also selected because of his powerful holy energy, and then Sivis, who specializes in battlefield command. , she will always stay on the warship and be responsible for commanding the entire battle.
In this regard, Lin Xue’s original words were: “A commanding idiot who can’t even understand the most basic infantry formations, a passionate idiot who does nothing but charge, and a silly cat angel who can fall over even when walking on flat ground. , if there is not a really smart person in charge of the think tank role, they will definitely bulldoze the entire Quel'Thalas before the undead attack."
In order to better balance our "serious shortcomings in collective IQ", this troublesome aggregation volunteered to join our team in person.
I personally think this is a huge tragedy, and what’s even more tragic is that I can’t do anything about this arrogant and domineering girl.
"This lady came to help because I felt sorry for you!" Lin Xue said with an arrogant look.
Except for the few of us and Sylvanas who are bound to follow, Qianqian and Sandora will stay in the base to deal with the millions of undead natural disasters that may launch a general attack at any time. Their mission is not to eliminate those The enemy, instead, try to delay as much time as possible until we gain control of these countless cannon fodders. By then, the situation will be completely reversed...
