Rise of the blood elves

Angmar stood on the high platform at the northern end of the Sunwell Plateau, with Flamestrike hanging from his waist. Next to him was the magister Carlyle, who was still injured.

He came here to check Anweina's condition one last time before leaving, and to visit the old mage Carlyle who was seriously injured.

At this time, it has been three days since the disaster in Silver Moon City.

After sending scouts to find out the situation in the Land of Ghosts, everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.Countless undead resurrectors poured into Quel'Thalas from the Eastern Plaguelands.

If the reinforcements of the Silver Hand and the Frostwolf Clan hadn't assisted the blood elves in repelling the demons that day, the Arendal River defense line, which was already in a bitter battle, would have collapsed thousands of miles after being attacked from two sides due to the fire in the backyard.

Without the last barrier, the natural disaster army coming from the south will cause the tragedy of three months ago to happen again, just like Arthas did, making every inch of Quel'Thalas red with the blood of the blood elves.

"How is your injury, Master Carlyle?" Angmar looked at Carlyle and asked.

Carlyle did not wear a cassock, but wore a loose garment, with a thick cold-proof cloak on his shoulders. His right arm, which was firmly fixed by splints and bandages, hung in front of his chest, and his left hand was leaning on a cane.

"It's nothing serious. You should be able to recover after a few months of rest. It's just that during this period, I won't be able to preside over the work of the Sunwell Temple." Carlyle was slightly short of breath as he spoke.Obviously, such an injury would be difficult for him to bear in his old age.

When the Dread Lord hidden in Norton's body rises up to hurt people and plots evil against the Holy Tree, Carlyle in the temple is the first to bear the brunt.This respected old man was just a scholar-mage who was not good at fighting, and he only had the strength of a mid-level epic. He was defeated by the Dread Lord without any suspense in almost just a face-to-face encounter, and even broke an arm and several ribs.

Fortunately, Anweina arrived in time, otherwise it would be a question whether he could save his life.

Angmar sighed. If he had been there, the progress of the Sunwell Temple's construction, energy channeling, and spell arrangement would have been greatly accelerated, because no one was better at communicating with the Holy Tree and Anweina than him.

But ever since Prince Kael'thas appointed him as the Third Magister, responsible for the work related to the Sunwell, he has hardly done his own job. It was the dedicated Carlyle who took over such a large task, and now few Without the leadership of this experienced magister, the twenty or so mages in the temple really don't know how to continue their work. They are more than capable of maintaining, but not aggressive enough.

Angmar turned his head and looked behind him, thinking: Fortunately, in a short period of time, the Sunwell Temple will no longer be as exhausting as before.

The vast Sunwell Highlands complex, from the functional buildings that have been restored in the inner ring to the ruins in the outer ring that have not yet been rebuilt, is now shrouded in a faint golden glow.

The closer you get to the Sunwell Temple in the center, the more dazzling the light is, and the richer the magical energy contained within it.The one kilometer area around the temple is such that even a high-level mage who has just entered the epic level cannot stay there for too long, otherwise the mana in the body will become unbalanced under the influence of external magic.

All of this was caused by Anweina absorbing the drop of water from the Well of Eternity.

Early this morning, Angmar personally led people to do precise calculations. Using the magic readings from the temple and the energy fluctuations from the essence of the holy tree in his body, he concluded that Anweina's total magic power had increased by more than half, and the holy tree had increased by more than half. More than doubled.

This is extremely shocking data, and together it is enough to rival one-twentieth of the Sunwell's heyday.

Just a drop of well water, and three days, caused such a transformation in the Sunwell.A group of magisters predict that Anweina's transformation will continue for at least one to two months. By that time, the Sunwell will have recovered to an impressive degree.

Angmar was thinking that if he successfully obtained a well of water from Illidan, wouldn't the Sunwell be completely restored, even far beyond its original level?

If I remember correctly, Illidan originally filled seven wells with water, three of which were used to create a miniature version of the Well of Eternity on Mount Hyjal. The remaining four were kept by the watchers who guarded him after he was imprisoned. The person supervises on their behalf.

Later, one was stolen by Dath'Remar, who led some of the upper-class elves to the east and created the Sunwell. The Watchers still had three more in their hands.

Later, after being freed by Tyrande, Illidan retrieved the three little ones from the dead guards. This was Angmar's short-term goal.

At least, get one of them.

"cough cough"

A cough came from beside him. Angmar turned around and saw Carlyle taking out a handkerchief and covering his mouth and nose. His old body was shaking violently with the cough. After the cough subsided, the old man asked worriedly: "What's going on in the south now?" how's it going"

“Overall, the situation is quite optimistic.”

Angmar recounted what happened in the past three days in general.

The number of undead in the Land of Ghosts is terrifying. Although most of them are resurrected without effective organization and have shown no offensive intentions, it seems that after Silvermoon City was blocked, the demons gave up their original attack plan and instead waited. The timing is right, but the blood elves also have to guard against it.

Lor'themar and other military leaders made a painful decision to give up part of the land in Eversong Forest. All troops retreated to the defense line of the Arendal River for safety, and were always alert to the attack of the undead, and were always ready to evacuate to Silvermoon City. preparation.

Because the Allendale River is not deep and the river is not very wide. The widest part is only about ten meters, so it is difficult to hinder the undead much.

What the blood elves are good at is defeating the enemy with superior individual combat power on local battlefields where the forces are evenly matched, rather than fighting defensive battles against enemies ten times their size on simply repaired defense lines.

For this reason, all newly rebuilt villages and settlements in Yonge Forest, including Qingfeng Village, received orders to prepare for evacuation.The people had to pack their belongings and immediately flee into Silvermoon City for refuge once the undead from the south attacked.

In contrast, mobilizing all rangers and blood knights to join the coalition and attack the main force of natural disasters entrenched in Dalaran is a risky move.But it had to be done, because this was not only a blow to the center of the natural disaster in the Eastern Continent, but also a necessary move to rescue the prince.

For the common people, they finally saw a glimmer of hope after the destruction of Quel'Thalas, but Dalaran in the south suffered a complete defeat, and the prince also disappeared.The official has always characterized this incident as a "disappearance", but people are not stupid and understand that there is actually no difference between disappearance and death.

In the past half month, everyone has spent their time in panic.What could Quel'Thalas do to resist the demons and undead that had destroyed the strongest alliance in the north? Not to mention the tragedy in Silvermoon City three days ago, which simply made the people's panic rise to the extreme.

Fortunately, after the news that the prince was safe and sound was announced, a glimmer of hope was finally rekindled in people's hearts.Kael'thas, who once led his people to push away the darkness, and Angmar, who found the incarnation of the Sunwell, these two names always have unusual magic power.

In addition, it is a denunciation of the conservative aristocracy.More than one person demanded that the higher-ups who deceived everyone, "brought" demons into Silver Moon City, and caused the massacre in Xicheng District be punished.

The reputation of the conservative nobles dropped to an all-time low, and all other nobles were opposed by the people.Maybe the prince doesn't need to worry at all. It has become inevitable for these people to step down from the stage of power in Quel'Thalas.

During this period, the magisters had no time to spare. As one of the few people who could enter the Sunwell Temple at this time, Angmar rewritten the parameters of the temple's energy-guiding array, absorbing Anweina's water droplets. Most of the spilled energy was directed to the Tower of Sunfury in Silvermoon City and the Tower of Sun on Chasing Sun Island to strengthen the magic defense systems of the two places.

In view of Norton being possessed by demons, the vigilant magisters led a large-scale search operation and discovered that many high-ranking military officials had suffered the same fate.The devil had already planned and controlled many key figures.Fortunately, they were discovered in time, otherwise these hidden demons might have triggered the second and third turmoil in Silver Moon City.

During this period, the blood elves have been communicating with the Silver Hand through magic, and they have a general understanding of the war situation in the north.Except for the Silver Hand and Frostwolf clan who rushed to Quel'Thalas, the war situation in the Hinterlands and Gilneas was not very optimistic, especially Gilneas.

The undead seemed to regard this self-proclaimed country next to the Silver Pine Forest as the primary threat and dispatched a large number of troops to attack.This is indeed the case. Thanks to Angmar's counter-efforts, almost all the resistance in the north has been wiped out. The last obstacle before the natural disaster, except for the blood elves, is Gilneas.

After Angmar found out, he could only tut and shake his head.

The early "Old Wolf" King Greymane was indeed working hard for the interests of his people, but when viewed on the macro scale of Azeroth, he seemed somewhat selfish.

More than ten years ago, when the menacing orc tribe swept across the Kingdom of Stormwind and headed north, and the other six nations sincerely formed an alliance to fight the invading enemies, Gilneas also participated.However, after the war, when various countries spent too much money on the war and struggled to bear the high operating costs of orc shelters, and even fell into financial crisis as a result, Gilneas resolutely drew a clear line with its former allies and lost everything.

A year ago, when Arthas destroyed the entire north, Gilneas built the Greymane Wall, choosing not to save the people outside the wall.

Now, with almost all their allies dead, the Scourge has reached Gilneas's doorstep, but no one can stand up to help them.

What a great tragedy.

When King Genn Greymane, who had not yet completed the most important transformation in his life, which was both physical and psychological, discovered that in the end, he was actually the son of the northern land who had been rejected by him and was completely despairing of the kingdom. The people, led by the great lord Darius, came to support regardless of sacrifice. Angmar really didn't know how he would feel.

After listening, Carlyle thought for a while.

In front of their eyes, the houses under construction extended outwards along the ruins on the edge of the highland, row upon row, and in a well-proportioned manner.Civilians were walking through it carrying planks and stones, and the sound of hammering, axe, and chisel could be heard in the distance, one after another.Under the light of the morning sun, this once inaccessible island seemed bustling with people.It seems that even the gloom of recent days has been completely dispelled by the increasingly shining brilliance of the Sunwell.

Further out on the sea, ships with full sails arrived at this safe overseas island carrying civilians eager to escape danger and bathe in the energy of the Sunwell up close.

Before the prince disappeared, he originally planned to build this place into a second large-scale settlement besides Silvermoon City.Affected by the disaster in Silver Moon City three days ago, more people have recently moved away from their homeland and settled on this island.

"Then when are you going to go south?" Carlyle asked.

Angmar replied: "Tonight, the portal is ready, and the troops are now making the final assembly. The Silver Hand has been asking us for help. After entering the Hinterlands, they were intercepted by demons, and the battle situation was not optimistic. After we resolve the crisis in the Hinterlands, we will join forces with humans, Wildhammer dwarves, and orcs to attack the undead scourge of Dalaran."

It will take everyone's efforts to attack Dalaran.The blood elves could not stand alone against the lich Kel'Thuzad who stayed in the eastern continent, nor could they deal with the tens of thousands of elite natural disasters.

"Then" Carlyle took two steps towards Angmar and his expression became serious, "I wish you all the best, three seats in Angmar."

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from behind the two of them, followed closely by a young voice.

"Greetings to you, respected Lord Carlyle. Look at what we have brought. This is a masterpiece in the history of Quel'Thalas' arcane arts. It is equipped with the most powerful enhancement spell robe. This is"
