Tales of the Highborne

Chapter 69 The army arrives

The night elves were inspired by the moon shadow and filled with the belief of victory, so they walked a long way on the first night. It's three days' journey from Black Crow Castle to Aissalin, so there's no rush. As soon as it got dark, they immediately set up camp and set up a cordon on the front line to guard against a sudden attack by the demons. This was to allow the night elves to fully adapt to fighting in the daylight before reaching Issaleen.

The land here has not yet tasted the horror of the Burning Legion. The forests in the south are still lush, while the tall green mountains in the north also decorate the land. The elves sent out patrols to scout for enemies in all directions, but found nothing. Slowly approaching Aissalin, the situation began to get worse. A large amount of the forest was destroyed and a thick stench emitted from the land. It makes people look a little frightened. Countless tall and ancient trees were distorted and deformed by evil energy. And a small number of demons also began to appear, and they were quickly eliminated under the trampling of the army. Except for the soldiers from Black Coast, most of the soldiers from other territories encountered demons for the first time. At first, everyone was very casual about demons. They thought that if 30,000 soldiers from Black Coast could hold back 100,000 demons, then the demon's strength must be average. . As a result, after a few days, everyone saw how powerful the devil was. The strength of an ordinary demon is equivalent to that of a high-level professional, and only the Black Coast soldiers with full body armor and high-level equipment can compete with these guys in single combat capabilities. Soldiers from other territories generally need two or three. It takes soldiers together to kill a demon.

At noon on the fourth day, the army finally arrived at the border of Aissalin. The army began to build fortifications. It would be a joke to attack without a base when attacking and defending. I don't know how I felt when I arrived at Aissalin Yueying. This city was full of ruins and bones, and there was a stench in the air. All the elves could not help but frown and regret, and hated this huge city in the past. The glory of Azshara, the capital of the elves, has become like this. It is really sad.

Yueying sat in the center of the camp, which was in chaos. Before the defenses were fully built, they were harassed twice by demons. However, due to its small size, the elves easily resisted it, but this was probably just a temptation from the devil. Moreover, they are here to attack Aissalin, not to defend. This will inevitably affect morale in the long run. However, none of the scouts sent out to investigate came back, and Aissalin was like a forbidden area.

"Do you have time?" Yue Ying was worried. Malfurion suddenly broke in and interrupted Yue Ying's thoughts.

"What's the matter? Tell me, why are you being polite to me?" Yueying said weakly, rubbing her forehead.

"Well, that's the case. I felt the teacher's call in the forest at noon today. Then I quietly found the teacher in the forest. The teacher wants to see you." Malfurion replied.

"Could it be that the teacher's contact with the ancient demigods was successful?" Yueying couldn't help but raise her voice, and her face immediately showed joy. If Cenarius's reinforcements arrive, this battle will have a better chance of winning. "Take me there quickly." Moon Shadow urged Malfurion, who couldn't wait to hear the good news.

"Master, you are the coach now and you cannot leave the camp casually." Rocky and Shizhi were busy blocking him. There are a lot of demons around Aissalin, and they are afraid that something will happen to Yue Xiang like last time.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'm just going to see Cenarius. There's no danger. If you're not worried, you can come with me." Yueying knew that these two people were doing it for their own good, so she shook her head and said.

"This..." The two looked at each other and nodded.

The leaves in the forest are rustling, these ancient trees have their own souls. They have survived the demonic attack and are now welcoming their arrival.

"You're finally here." Suddenly, a strong wind blew around them. Rocky and Stonetoe pressed their helmets hard, while Malfurion tilted his head back to better feel the caress. Moon Shadow looked at the direction where the sound came from, with a hint of joy in his eyes. The wind became stronger and stronger, and countless dead leaves were swept into the air. However, only Rocky looked very panicked. Even Shuanglu and the other two night sabers opened their nostrils to breathe in the refreshing air brought by the gust of wind. . More and more leaves, twigs, pebbles, and dirt gathered together and mixed together to form something solid.

"I heard from Malfurion that you became the leader of the resistance." Cenarius' huge figure came towards them. He had four deer legs and his abdomen was exactly the same as a deer. The skin color and shape of the upper body resemble that of an elf, the chest is cylindrical, and the two shining golden eyes are staring at the moon shadow. His whole body is purple, with occasional green accents; his hands have claws and the fingers are knobby, like dead wood. Cenarius let his thick green hair flow. The beard on his face matches the long hair, and the branches and leaves seem to grow naturally in these hairs, but what is even more surprising is that Cenarius also has two knobby antlers on his head.

"Well, yes, I have united all the

Elf Tribe, is there any good news from the teacher?" Yueying bowed respectfully and looked at Cenarius and asked hurriedly. He was very concerned about this matter now.

"The other demigods still have differences on how to deal with demons. Yes, we have to fight them, but we are all used to fighting on our own, and it is very difficult to work together harmoniously because we all think our ideas are the best. Cenarius frowned and sighed.

Yueying began to ponder, this is not good news. The red dragon had returned to the Dragon Clan some time ago, and now even these demigod guardians of the natural world cannot reach an agreement and formulate a clear course of action. If the current team of night elves were to fight against the demon, Yueying knew what the outcome would be. The best case scenario was that both sides would suffer, the demon would be defeated and the elves would suffer heavy casualties and a heavy loss of vitality. But the greater possibility is that the elves are wiped out and the entire Kalimdor is destroyed by the Burning Legion.

"What's the news about the dragon clan?" To be honest, Yueying was a little disappointed, but he is now the leader of the entire resistance army, and he must consider the problem comprehensively.

"The Dragon Clan seems to have their own troubles now. I just went to the Emerald Dream to find the Green Dragon Queen, and they won't be able to fight in a short time." Cenarius shook his head.

Yueying remained silent, losing the support of the demigods and dragons in the original plan. This war would be difficult to fight.

"The main reason I came here this time is to train Malfurion and Illidan. If we want to save the world from the devil, we must use 100% of our strength." Cenarius put away his kind expression and became serious. said.

"It's just teacher. Now the troops are approaching. Illidan and I may not have time to listen to your teachings." Malfurion was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, we only need one day, and I don't think Yueying will attack Aissalin in a hurry. Right Yueying?" Cenarius looked at Yueying and asked.

"It's true that I can't attack rashly now. None of the scouts I sent out for reconnaissance have returned. But I have to take action as soon as possible because we can't afford to delay it. Recently, I feel that Aissalin's magic wave has become stronger. I'm afraid something will happen again later." Yueying frowned, it rained all night, so the elves were already at a disadvantage. Last time Mannoroth suffered a big loss from a demonic captain. Who knows what else is hidden in Aissalin. Now losing two major aids is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Just as Yueying was meditating, the sound of a huge horn reached his ears. Yueying's expression couldn't help but change, and Rocky and Shizhi's expressions also looked bad. "I'll say goodbye first, teacher." Yueying said, turning over and riding on Shuanglu's back, then rushed towards the camp. Rocky and Stonetoe saluted Cenarius and immediately mounted their mounts to follow Yueying. This was the sound of a horn that was being attacked on a large scale. Yueying frowned slightly and quickly urged Shuanglu to run faster.

The sharp sound of crossbows kept ringing out from the elf army, and thousands of arrows were fired in an instant. Arrows and crossbows blossomed among the demons like screaming banshees, landing on throats, limbs, and heads. There were dead and injured demons everywhere, and those behind had to slow down and step over them.

A golden ball of light exploded in the middle of the demon army, causing the demon guards to stagger around. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Corpse fragments and plasma-like liquid splashed on the living demons. Moon Shadow recognized this spell, which was the Druid's introductory spell "Natural Wrath". Then several moon guards lined up, and magic energy balls of various colors exploded among the demon crowd.

A gust of wind roared towards the center of the front row of the demon army. The horned demons all collided with each other, and even pierced their own weapons into the chests of their own people. The enemy army was in chaos. Crassus' magic came in handy. It was the first time he used magic without the help of Cleostraz. He didn't know what the result would be, but when he saw the effect, the magician also smiled. .

This gave the night elves an opportunity to take advantage of them. As soon as the first row of warriors hit the enemy, they were killed. The frontline troops of the Burning Legion were in a state of disorder. The Demon Guards tried to reorganize the team, but in vain, and were killed in pieces instead. Yueying rode Shuanglu into the pile of demons, and the thunder abyss flashed with cold light. Yueying's long sword danced wildly like a farmer harvesting wheat, and a large number of demons fell to the ground.

Another wave of arrows fell, and the demon troops in the following rows also suffered heavy losses. In a few minutes, the demons were dead and wounded, and their number had been reduced by at least a quarter. Normally, he should be full of confidence at this time, but Yueying still felt that it was too easy to win this way. Suddenly he looked around and couldn't help but wonder that these demons seemed to be the lowest level, like the stronger Doomsday Guards and similar There seems to be no elite demon like Mannoroth.
