Tales of the Highborne

Chapter 58 Ambush and Delay

The midnight moonlight looked cold and bright, and the civilian transfer team was proceeding in an orderly manner. Yueying organized his troops and prepared to leave Suramar. He firmly believed that the best defense was to attack. Staying in Suramar without a wall was undoubtedly courting death. There is a canyon on the only way from Aissalin to Suramar. If used well, the civilians can be transferred smoothly and have enough time.

"Are you sure?" Illidan couldn't help but ask. He, Tyrande and some priestesses from the temple stayed to help Moon Shadow drag the demon away.

"If I can make good use of the canyon, I'm still somewhat confident." Yueying frowned slightly. Although he thought so, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Who can say what will happen.

"After calculating the time, we have to get to the canyon within five minutes. It will take some time to set up defenses. It's a bit urgent." Tyrande couldn't help but shook his head.

"So we have to hurry." Malfurion nodded.

"I didn't expect us to fight side by side. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Watch me wipe out those demonic scum." Illidan clenched his fist and showed a smile.

"Well, let us entertain these guests from far away." A smile appeared on Yueying's lips. A few people smiled and nodded, temporarily diluting the tension of the upcoming war.

"Okay, in order to give the civilians time to move, we will stay and delay the enemy for a while. Do you have confidence?" Yueying turned to look at the neat Black Coast Army and asked loudly.

"Have"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices deafening.

"Very good. You are all the elites I brought out from the Black Coast, the pride of Moon Shadow City. Fighting against demons is very dangerous. I think everyone has experienced it in the last battle. I hope everyone can stay alive with me. Return to the Black Coast with glory." Yueying narrowed her eyes and said loudly. Coupled with the magical amplification effect, every word can be clearly transmitted to the ears of every soldier. Who doesn’t want to return to his hometown with glory?

"For the glory of Darkshore"

"For Moon Shadow City"

"Kill all the demons"

The soldiers' voices resounded through the sky. At Yueying's words, the soldiers' blood boiled and their morale increased. Even the female priestess of the temple who stayed to help felt a little on fire, with a hint of excitement on her face.

"Okay, let's go." Yueying gave the order, and the soldiers marched neatly towards the canyon, all of them with high morale.

The total length of this canyon is less than five kilometers, but it is hundreds of meters high. The rock walls on both sides are smooth and cannot be climbed. It is a must-pass route to enter Suramar from Aissalin, and it is impossible to build effective fortifications in a short time. Yueying asked the archers to hide on the cliffs on both sides, and the warriors collected a large number of giant stones. When the demon reaches the canyon, he will first use magic to blow up the passage, and then the soldiers will begin to attack. This was the best strategy he came up with. Entering the battle, the individual combat elves were at an absolute disadvantage.

Waiting was the most painful, and the ten minutes of waiting for Yueying felt longer than the nearly thousand years he had spent in the past. Finally, the demon's army entered the canyon, and the great magician's powerful spiritual power allowed him to clearly feel every detail. Yueying's eyes narrowed slightly. The demon team this time was very unusual. Different types of demons formed a neat team, just like a trained army. Led by a demon he had never stopped with, this demon was as tall and strong as a giant dragon. The face like a toad looked ferocious and terrifying, and the long and thick tail like a crocodile's tail was supported on the ground. The demons around him were in awe of him. He could clearly feel the power and terror of this demon, and there was a powerful magic power in his body that made him frightened. The doomsday guards hovering in the air kept urging the troops to move forward.

This demon is Mannoroth the Destroyer, the Lord of the Abyss. His mission this time is to eliminate all existences that hinder the arrival of Sargeras, including the ancient demigods and the rebellious elves of Suramar. For him, all of this is just entertainment when he is bored. He does not think that there is anything in Azeroth that can threaten him, and the ancient demigods are just a joke in his eyes. Of course, there was one person except Azshara, Azshara. Every time he saw this female elf, he felt frightened, but luckily she was already Sargeras' puppet.

Mannoroth couldn't help but smile, and shook the fleshy wings behind him. The demon next to him couldn't help but distance himself from him when he saw his expression. This master would kill people when he was happy, and he would kill them when he was unhappy. I don't want to be the unlucky guy. He likes to destroy all beautiful existences, which is why he is called the Destroyer. The underworld of the abyss is a wonderful place full of endless battles and violence.

"Stop." Mannoroth suddenly looked at both sides of the cliff. There was a lot of night elves' breath on the top of the cliff. In addition, the breath of magic could also be felt on the rock walls on both sides of the cliff. Mannoroth gave an order to the advancing demon troops to stop immediately.

&n

bsp;"Not good." Yueying frowned slightly. He knew that the leading demon had noticed something strange and hurriedly recited a spell.

"boom"

The cliffs on both sides began to explode, and large rocks fell from the rock walls on both sides, immediately forming a hundred-meter stone wall. He had left an explosive magic circle on the cliff in advance. He originally planned to wait for the demons to enter the explosion area before detonating the magic circle. The falling rocks could also be used as weapons. It's a pity that there is no way to implement it. We can only block the path of the devil to buy time for the evacuated civilians.

"Damn reptiles!" Mannolos looked at the top of the cliff and blew out his breath and cursed.

"shoot arrows"

Yueying shouted loudly, and the arrows of the elven archers on both sides of the cliff, who were ready to attack, flew towards the demon army like raindrops. Illidan also chanted a spell and hit the demons like small moon-like balls of light. Malfurion opened his hands slightly and used a whirlwind to pick up the loose rocks on the surrounding cliffs and smash them down. The lethality was slightly stronger than Illidan's "Moonfire", and the demon's army suddenly became chaotic. Ronin closed his eyes and a "blizzard" blew throughout the canyon. The most ingenious thing was the cooperation between Krasus and the red dragon. The red dragon breathed out fiery dragon breath. Krasus converted the dragon's breath into a flame storm and the demon was instantly killed and injured. Suddenly, the demon's army became more chaotic.

"Don't mess around. The Doom Guards came up to me and dealt with those bugs." Mannolos stepped on a demon guard that was running away in panic and shouted loudly. Although he has some fleshy wings, they are more like decorations. After all, looking at the proportions of his body and wings, you can tell that those small wings cannot allow him to fly.

The doomsday guards also wanted to get close to the elves, but the narrow passage simply prevented them from expanding their speed. Moreover, the elves on the Black Coast have gained some experience from the last battle with demons. The angle of the arrows is very tricky, specifically attacking weak points. Soon, the Doomsday Guard who had not yet taken flight was shot into a sieve.

"Trash" Mannoroth shouted as he looked at the Doom Guards who were shot on the ground. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Krasus and the Red Dragon. These two guys were the biggest threat to his army. He raised his weapon like a javelin, aimed at the red dragon, and threw it directly at the young red dragon. Yueying saw Mannoroth's movements, frowned slightly, and decisively used "Flash" to move towards Krasus. The javelin shot towards Krasus and the red dragon like a comet hitting the earth. The red dragon and Krasus also spotted the flying javelin, but the dragon was too big to dodge, and this throw was enough to pierce him to the core.

"Teacher." Luo Ning couldn't help shouting, but it was too late.

The purple light shield quickly covered Krasus and the red dragon. Mannoroth's weapon stabbed the purple light shield. The purple light shield quickly began to deform, and the light began to become unstable. Yueying's face turned pale, and a hint of Yin Hong flowed from the corner of her mouth. Ninety percent of the energy in the "Mana Lake" was suddenly drained.

"Moonshadow."

"Lord Lord"

Everyone exclaimed, Yueying's eyes narrowed, but the attack was still blocked by him. He guided Mannoroth's weapon and inserted it into the cliff next to him. Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Tyrande quickly put down his bow and arrows and rushed forward to treat Yueying.

"Keep an eye on the devil and don't let up," Yueying said and spat out another mouthful of blood. The bright red blood stained his shining silver armor.

"Good luck to you, little reptile." Mannolos said disdainfully, blowing his breath to the side.

"Thank you." Crassus breathed.

"Thank you very much. Elf Lord." Red Dragon said sincerely.

"We are comrades now. You are here to protect our elves. How can I watch you get hurt." Yueying smiled and shook his head, turning to look at the javelin inserted into the rock wall. The weapon was still burning. Green evil flame. He had heard Yue Yin say that this flame was the demonic power created by Sargeras. However, what he paid attention to was not the flame but the material of the weapon itself, which was a red metal as red as blood, with a faint blood flame burning on it. If I remember correctly, this metal should be "Sky-Burning Demonic Iron", one of the four metals used by Titans to make artifacts.

"You are a unique elf, I think we will become friends." The red dragon let out a burst of hearty laughter, and Krasus was silent for a moment.

"That's really a great honor." Yueying also smiled, and countless mysterious runes appeared in his eyes. Mannoroth's weapon suddenly disappeared into the air.

"Boss, you are really as greedy as ever." Yue Yin's speechless voice came from Yueying's mind.

"Don't you think this is very interesting? He made it clear that he wanted to give this weapon to me, so I naturally accepted it. I think his expression must be very good-looking now." A smile appeared on the corner of Yueying's mouth. As he spoke, he turned to look at Mannoroth.
