Azeroth’s Death Track

Chapter 605 21. Despair --- Add more for the nastumekami brothers [710]

boom

Tweeting, the miniature flame phoenix jumped up from Kael'thas' shoulders. Under the master's command, this powerful element named Au was like a real phoenix. Flying in the air, he opened his mouth and spit out a hot pillar of fire toward the battlefield below, helping the human and elf coalition forces to block the escape front of the upper elves.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the five magic hubs above the city of Eresalas have all fallen into the hands of the coalition forces, which means that the ground buildings of this city of ten thousand years have become the spoils of war of the two races, but the real trouble The best place is the dungeon under the city, which is the source of the magic power of the Highborne, and the Syndra elves, led by Torsedrin, vowed to guard it to the death.

The four most important magic power hubs are all located in the underground city. Under the frenzied resistance of the upper elves who were loyal to Torsedrin in the end, the coalition forces of the two races were blocked at the entrance to the underground.

But it is inevitable that the front line will be breached, but neither Kael'thas nor the human commanders want to fill the gully with the lives of soldiers, nor do they want to see the city become a complete ruin , what they need is the magic power in this city, and the knowledge in this city, not a piece of meaningless ruins.

Therefore, the tough offensive eased for a while, and the coalition forces decided to rest for a few hours. The master engineers inspected the underground structure of the city, and then carried out a large-scale precise blasting, directly opening the gate leading to the bottom from the top of the dungeon. .

These invaders who are clearing the surface don't know the truth about the chaos in the dungeon at this time, because no matter how wise Kael'thas is, he can't guess that the Dark Blade Legion, which is thousands of miles away, has already The tentacles of the dead reached under his eyelids.

Or to put it another way, the power of the Dark Blade never really left their surroundings.

The highborne commoners of Twistwood have surrendered to us, Your Majesty.

Lor'themar Theron reported good news to the Sun King, but what followed was bad news:

But Your Majesty, according to the testimonies of those commoners... I'm afraid Torsedrin's statement is true.

The ranger lord looked around, lowered his voice, and said to the Sun King:

I'm afraid the magic power of Ere Salas is really not enough for all civilians to use. The reason why Torsedrin let his people live on the surface of Ere Salas is because the magic power in the dungeon has become thinner in recent years. , cannot be used by all the Syndra elves... That lunatic king, in order to reduce the consumption of magic power, even exiled and brutally massacred his own people more than ten years ago...

Block this message!

Kael'thas' complexion was a little ugly. This was almost one of the worst news he could imagine, but as the leader of the high elves and the backbone of the coalition forces, he couldn't show disappointment, otherwise it would directly affect other people. So he forced himself to calm down, coughed lightly, and said to Lor'themar:

We can't let other people know the truth. Our people can't bear the shock anymore. The specific situation will be discussed after we completely capture El Salas!

Yes, Your Majesty!

But the bad news came one after another. As soon as Lor'themar left, the figure of Baron Sangunar, the master assassin in charge of field investigation, appeared beside the Sun King. This master assassin of the high elves who had served the Sun King for two generations had a serious face , he whispered in Kael'thas' ear:

General Sylvanas and our spies found something in the dungeon, Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer.

What did you find?

When Kael'thas asked, Baron Sangunar's face changed a few times before he gritted his teeth and said:

Undead! But it is not the kind we have seen, but the undead evolved by the high elves. They are fighting those stubborn elves in the dungeon. It seems that someone is directing them.

Undead?

The Sun King's eyes widened at this moment, his fingers touched the hilt of the Flame Strike sword at his waist, and then connected with the things Lor'themar reported just now, Kael'thar suddenly felt the seriousness of the problem , but after thinking for a while, the Sun King did not panic, but heaved a sigh of relief and said to Baron Sangunar:

Don't disturb the others, go find Master Rommath and our human friends, and tell Lord Lor'themar to wait for my orders. I feel that this dungeon is very evil, so we'd better go down and have a look before telling the public. ...

As ordered.

Baron Sangunar took a step back, and his figure disappeared in the drifting black mist. Although the reputation in the light world is not obvious, the Sangunar family is indeed a well-known assassin in Quel'Thalas and even in the entire dark world. Aristocratic family, their family is famous for its superb assassination skills and manipulation of people's fear. Some assassins of the same age will call the assassins of the Sangunar family the fearful ones.

However, it is said that the latest successor of Sangunar is a mysterious girl, and her understanding of family skills has reached a very high level. At present, the girl named Valina Sangunar, Traveling the world, it's hard to say when the gifted assassin will return to the society of the high elves.

Tens of minutes later, under the guidance of the beacons left by the high elf rangers, a group of people marched towards the dungeon through a remote passage. , and did not find the existence of the resisters, as if they disappeared without a sound.

Your Majesty, you shouldn't risk yourself like this!

At the observation post in the dungeon, after Cirvanas saw who came, she frowned and said seriously:

The situation in the dungeon is unknown now. If there is really a powerful person from the side of the dark blade ambushing here, you are almost stepping into a trap!

What Cirvanas said was ugly, but Kael'thas didn't get angry. He looked outside the seemingly peaceful dungeon, and asked softly:

Where are the undead active? Sylvanas...General.

This title made Cirvanas stunned, and it also made other people around him stunned. As a former ranger general who had mysteriously disappeared for nearly a year and then suddenly appeared, plus Alleria in Quel'Sala What Sylvanas made, before returning to the high elf society, Cirvanas was already prepared to be suspected and even excluded, but she did not expect that after just one battle, this girl who had been with her since she was a child The Sun King, who grew up together, re-admitted her loyalty to the race.

But Shiva is a qualified soldier and general after all, she didn't waste too much time, she pointed to the southwest corner of the dungeon, and said softly:

The undead are fighting the last Highborne army in the square to the southwest. It is said that Torsedrin's bedroom is also in that direction. The battle situation there is very chaotic. I don't mind if you go there yourself!

Well, what about the magic hub?

Kael'thas asked again, this time it was Baron Sangunar who answered, and the silent master assassin produced a hand-drawn map:

The four magic power hubs of the dungeon are in the square not far away. The upper elves call them the source of magic power. Even when the undead invaded, there were still many magicians guarding there. They summoned a large number of magic power hubs. According to our estimates, the real magic core of Eldre Salas City should be under that square, and there should be a basement there.

The Sun King took the map and looked at it in front of his eyes. After a while, driven by his inner instinct, he made up his mind:

Then let's ignore the undead... Let's go to the magic power core first. I always feel that the magic power of this city is not pure enough, it's a bit weird, and there seems to be some... other things in it, some of which make me feel strange. Comfortable stuff.

I have to confirm that this magic power is harmless before I distribute it to our people. What do you think?

Kael'thas looked at the other people around him, and the high elves did not object. Their purpose of capturing Elesalas was for the magic power in this city, and the human commander who followed the Sun King, the No. Halford Wyrmbane, the general of the Seventh Legion, chose to bid farewell to the Sun King after a few seconds of silence.

Sorry, Your Majesty, but we must guarantee the interests of the empire. I will return to the surface. Now that the order of the dungeon has been broken, I will bring the infantry here and protect the Great Library from the battle.

General Halford is an old-fashioned paladin. Although he is young, he already has a rigid taste. Faced with his choice, Kael'thas was not surprised. He turned his head and said something to Baron Sangunar, and then Looking back at the general of the Seventh Legion, he said:

Very well, thanks for the support of the empire, my people will guide you... Good luck, general!

Good luck, Your Majesty the Sun King!

The two teams separated, and Cirvanas was scouting ahead. She held the legendary bow Sasdora. Before her silent assassination arrows, any guards or arcane elements who blocked the way would be killed. Without warning, Kael'thas and Master Rommath used the exquisite magic of the high elves to cover themselves and followed the ranger general.

Soon, they arrived above the source of magic power protected by four magic hubs. It was a large platform surrounded by many scout magics. There should have been a large number of troops stationed here, but it was probably because Torsedrin's bedroom was attacked. For some reason, the number of troops stationed here is less than a hundred, and they are still scattered around the hall.

Almost without alarming anyone, the three powerful men who sneaked into this place found the stairs leading to the underground. After clearing out the patrolling guards in the stairs, they came to the dark basement, the source of magic power of Elesalas, The treasure that provided the upper elves to live in the isolated city for 10,000 years was exposed to the Sun King and his two subordinates.

dang lang

The moment he saw the source of magic power, the staff in Archmage Rommath's hand slipped from his palm, and the Sun King staggered back a few steps. In his eyes, there was despair and pain.

We... we paid so much...

We sacrificed so much...

We've been waiting for so long...

Is this what we're looking for?

Even the always steadfast ranger general Cirvanas seemed to have his will defeated at this moment. She turned her head to look at the Sun King behind her. Kael'thas' eyes had lost focus, and the highborne's The source of magic power, the blow to him was really too great.

It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be...how could...how could it be! Why...why is this?

Kael'thas muttered to himself like a lunatic...and beside him, Archmage Rommath was already in tears. This poor old man had completely collapsed.

So what is the source of this magic power, this thing that has supplied the Highborne with enough magic power for thousands of years? And what is it that can cause such a shock to three determined people?

very simple...

The one trapped in the 16-fold coupling seal, the one that draws magic power from the seal to support the operation of the entire city... that is a demon bound in place by a bright beam of magic...!

It was a rare, powerful lord-class mana terror...

Why are the Highborne trapped in Elesalas and can't leave?

Why does Torsedrin exile and kill a group of civilians every once in a while?

Why does the magic in this city seem so weird?

Why are the Highborne in this city acting like madmen?

Why did the once wise magic prince Torsedrin become so tyrannical and crazy?

All the problems and all the truths were revealed at this moment, but unfortunately, what it brought to the high elves was definitely not hope and new life. Just like the meaningful words left by Tyrion after learning that the high elves went to Feralas:

Poor Kael'thas and his people found nothing but despair in Feralas...

Yes, at the moment of seeing the truth, the incomparable despair completely defeated the three people in front of them...

This is probably the fate that the Sun King and the high elves must endure. This is probably the most terrifying test that Kael'thas is about to face, as the civilization supervisors said. The most painful choice ever.

Look, observers, how ironic it is.
