Chapter 681 Azeroth's war years·Azshara's great crisis!
Azeroth, this Legion Invasion is approaching the second stage.
While the Burning Legion fleet was maintaining its elusive bombardment on various battlefields, and the demon brigade was also operating aggressively in the areas harassed by Undead and Naga, almost all high-ranking commanders realized that the Conqueror Kil'jaeden was about to officially intervene in the war.
The appearance of the devil means that the only remaining Great Demon Lord has completed the deployment of its troops. It may choose a weak point in defense at any time to launch a waaagh of destruction against Azeroth.
This sign makes Saviors people worried.
It's already very stressful to deal with Undead and Naga. Once the demons get involved, the battle line that is still being maintained may be in trouble immediately.
The confrontation between the Destroyer and Defender is currently evenly matched. Undead and Naga are victorious due to their astonishing numbers. However, one thing is that their high-level strength is insufficient compared to the Salvation Army. Therefore, they can only capture some non-strategic areas during the continuous harassment. For those heavily defended, the defense lines and fortresses stationed by strong men are not fully captured.
For example, in the fortified cities of the Strom'kar Empire, the elves stationed in the strong armies of Feralas and Ashenvale, and in the core areas of civilization such as the main island of Zandalari, the Burning Legion servant army basically died as many as it came.
Basically, Saviorss have urgently deployed the "air defense system" from Ulduar in these areas, making it difficult for Kil'jaeden's raiding fleet to achieve results here.
Therefore, after several attempts, these demon servants gave up their plan to attack.
They began to spread to more and wider areas with poor defense. They began to "occupy territory" and provided enough materials for the demon wizards who entered the world first, allowing terrifying numbers of Fel Forging Camp to rise all over the world.
This was obviously a precursor to a large-scale ground attack.
It is also the last strategic mission assigned by Kil'jaeden to its very disdainful servant army. Great Demon Lord requires that before Burning Legion begins its official invasion, the demons can have unfettered strategic autonomy in operating in Azeroth.
Of course, Azeroth has persisted in the sudden war for nearly ten days, so it's not like there's no good news.
Four days ago, Lightforged Fleet from Draenor suddenly entered the airspace of Azeroth in a fighting posture. S'fraelx experienced a painful deep space voyage with Star Gate barely rested after the teleportation. Taking advantage of the time when the Burning Legion fleet was resting and changing defenses in the orbit of the planet Azeroth, the outstanding Lightforged launched a fatal attack.
The Demon Starship parked in the orbit of the planet was almost wiped out in thirty minutes. It is said that the debris of the burning starship that fell from the orbit of the planet that day enveloped the entire South Seas.
From Booty Coast to Dazar'alor City, and then to Gadgetzan, you can almost see the "meteor shower" symbolizing victory.
Although this exaggerated and powerful raid could not completely destroy the harassment fleet sent by Kil'jaeden to Azeroth World, the arrival of Lightforged Fleet, who was capable of fighting well, did impact Burning Legion's original unquestionable "air superiority".
When S'fraelx's fleet temporarily landed on the island of Tol Barad, the home port of the Imperial Navy, under the guidance of Saviors's signal, the history of the Burning Legion's rampage in Azeroth's sky was gone forever.
Although the total fleet under the command of Admiral Lightforging is only fourteen starships, they can obviously be dispatched at any time to support air battles in various places Azeroth.
The most important thing is that the arrival of S'fraelx means that Azeroth is by no means "fighting alone" in this war!
The commanders and leaders of Azeroth then learned that the Draenor world was coming to support across the stars in a way "they could not imagine", and the entire Light Cosmic Domain had received war mobilization.
Lightforged Fleet is loaded with the most fanatical Holy Light warriors in the star sea, heading towards Azeroth World at the fastest speed.
In addition, there are Ethereal's commercial fleet, demon slayers from all over the Star Sea, all People of Light countries with deep space navigation capabilities, etc. The known or unknown forces in the Star Sea are all attracted by the unprecedented war that took place in Azeroth.
When the invasion of Sarkir failed, and the news that Fallen Titan Norgannon also fell to Draenor came out, people of insight have realized that this Burning Crusade that lasted for more than 20,000 years may be coming to an end.
And the country of Azeroth, which is already famous in the sea of stars, will undoubtedly become the final place of the Burning Legion.
Such a major event that can affect the course of the star sea, any race and civilization with a little ambition will not want to miss it.
Therefore, after Lightforged Fleet brought the news, Azeroth felt like a shot in the arm in every battlefield. Even the fringe battlefields that were once precarious began to fight back, making Undead and Naga miserable.
These two forces are barely considered second-rate compared to the Azeroth who are currently "dancing with demons". At this time, they are already under pressure to risk themselves and carry out the extreme operation of "whole family and young children in one wave". Now when the Saviorss begin to counterattack, the advantages of the two groups on several battlefields have become precarious.
However, the common advantage of these two groups is their numbers. There is no shortage of cannon fodder and so on. They just relied on cruel "meat bomb" tactics to barely withstand the terrorist offensive of Saviors.
Both communities knew that their suffering was coming to an end.
As more and more demons Burning Legion enter Azeroth from each Fel Forging Camp, these servant armies will soon return to their rightful place in the "war food chain".
But Kil'jaeden is Great Demon Lord who doesn't care about the grain in his eyes, so Undead and Naga still have to perform at this critical moment.
After blending the cunning Lich King and the equally cunning Nightmare King, they decided to choose an important but not so important, difficult but not so difficult Saviors strategic defense zone to launch a wave of strong attacks!
It would be best if we could occupy it before Kil'jaeden's army arrives, as it would add glory to the servant army's face.
Even if you can't take it off, it's okay.
Anyway, Great Demon Lord has seen with his own eyes that his army of servants has made such progress, no matter how harsh it is, it should be satisfied.
Whether you can fight a good war is a matter of ability, but if you are unwilling to devote yourself to the Burning Legion's great cause, it is a matter of attitude.
As we all know, great leaders can tolerate subordinates with mediocre abilities, but they cannot tolerate subordinates with mediocre abilities who have no subjective initiative. They are commonly said to have no ability, but also no winks, and no push.
When a big leader comes to the front line in person, you might as well put on a show.
If you don't even bother to pretend, then the problem is really big.
So, which key defense area is so lucky to be selected as a strategic area to "prove loyalty" by Lich King and Xavius?
The answer is
"In the past few years since Dark Portal was first established, Quel'Thalas has experienced many disasters."
In front of Silvermoon City, the imperial queen Ms. Daenerys, who was driving War Raptor with golden hair and Gonk blood, carried her holy sword on her back. While holding her helmet, she complained to Ms. Sun King and back Lanathel who came to greet her:
"A few days ago, Lothar was still speculating on which battlefield the demon servant army would try to open up the situation. As a result, yesterday you suffered a double attack from Undead and Naga. Obviously, Lich King and Nightmare King regarded you as soft persimmons."
"It's not surprising that the evil ones have set their sights on the land of Sin'dorei. It's true that the situation of our people has not been very good recently."
Lanathel, dressed in ceremonial uniform, sighed on his white Hawkstrider saddle and said:
"My husband and his court officials have recently been working hard to establish Sun State Religion, spread new beliefs and solve Magic Addiction's stubborn diseases, so much so that they have neglected the military. In addition, after Sunwell Floating Isle left this land, not only the citizens, but also the army's combat effectiveness was sharply reduced due to the aggravation of Magic Addiction.
Although my husband adjusted his strategy as soon as the demons arrived and stationed Phoenix Guards in various strategic areas, our weakness was still not hidden from the eyes of the evil ones.
But fortunately, Emperor Lothar abided by the Alliance's military agreement and sent Army of the Light to support immediately, so that this raid did not lead to a catastrophic disaster."
The queen sighed with emotion and drew an alienated triangle Holy Crest on her chest, which was the prayer ceremony of Sun State Religion.
The religious rituals are basically the multiple "stitch monsters" of some prayer rituals of the Church of the Holy Light, Holy Flame Church and Sin'dorei tribe. According to some rumors, the Sin'dorei elves actually sent people to the Zandalar Empire to "learn scriptures" in private in order to improve their belief in the sun.
Considering the complicated diplomatic relationship between Trolls and the elves, this wave of Sun King can be said to be the first of its kind in history.
Even after getting married, the Queen of the Empire maintained her usual Warrior style. She controlled the war velociraptor that was incompatible with the elven tradition, looked around Silvermoon City condescendingly, and nodded with satisfaction after a few minutes and said:
"His Majesty Kael'thas's military capabilities have been greatly improved compared to before. Silvermoon City is invulnerable to the naked eye, but I saw a lot of Druid and Moon God Priest. So, in addition to the empire, has Kaldorei also provided support to you?"
"Well, Night Elfs behaved very appropriately this time."
Lanathel lowered his voice and said:
"Under the direct order of General Shandris Feathermoon, Silverwing Sentinels sent a hunter Burning Legion, a Druid Burning Legion and hundreds of Moon God Priest to come across the dreamland to support Quel'Thalas.
They arrived at midnight yesterday, just in time to catch up with Naga's unscrupulous attempt to rush into Silvermoon City from the coast. With their assistance, we easily defeated the partial division of Naga.
To tell you the truth, the elves not only sent troops, but Black Panther Goddess Ashamane was also sitting in Silvermoon City's dream plane.
And it's not just the Kaldorei elves who are here.
A support force of the Zandalar Empire is also in Quel'Thalas, but in order to avoid causing anxiety among the people, we placed it in the ancestral homeland of Amani Troll, the jungle city named "Zul'Aman".
Several Loa are currently patrolling in the dreamland of this land, preventing Nightmare King's nightmare offensive."
The queen introduced it like this. After the Army of the Lights were stationed in the military camp in the city, the imperial queen, led by Lanathel, went to pay a visit to Sun King. When they entered Sun King's palace, a "strategic meeting" was going on here.
The three parties involved in the meeting were all elves, Sin'dorei, Kaldorei and Highborne's envoys. In addition, Troll Empire's representative, Shadow Hunter, who was carrying a wooden war spear and wearing a Loa mask, sat quietly and listened.
As soon as Daenerys walked in, he heard Kael'thas throw a "bombshell".
Sun King, who wore armor and a sword at his waist during the war, said seriously:
"So, Governor Mordant Evershadow believes that the goal of Lich King's army in attacking Broken Isles is not to recruit more undead, but to break through Suramar, Sword Finger Azshara?"
"Yes! Not only Eternal Shadow Governor thinks so, Lady Blue Moon and Sandar both believe that this bad situation will happen soon."
The Highborne messenger who came from Broken Isles to ask for help from Quel'Thalas had a serious face. The elf dressed as a palace lady knocked on the table and said to the participants:
"Considering Lich King's frightening soul-eating power of Demon Sword, we can make a bold and terrifying guess. Lich King not only wants to "recruit" Suramar, but also has the audacity to transform Queen Azshara into a member of Scourge!"
"Be bold!"
Sun King slapped the table in horror.
The important ministers behind him were all serious, and even the Kaldorei elf commander who had the least affection for Azshara frowned.
Daenerys, who was sitting quietly in the seat next to her, immediately thought of the terrifying scene of Queen Azshara holding Frostmourne, commanding tens of millions of Undead. That was simply the most terrifying war scenario she could think of.
"But the problem is"
The silent Shadow Hunter suddenly asked:
"Can Demon Sword like Frostmourne really be effective against Queen Azshara?"
This guy's Thalassian has a slight accent, but this does not prevent it from communicating with the elves. Trolls said seriously:
"Although there is no clear evidence at present, after summarizing the information from various angles, we can be sure that Queen Azshara has been promoted to the noble Lesser God. Although we don't quite understand why she cannot wake up, can Frostmourne really make such a powerful individual fall into the realm of death?"
"Yes! There is no doubt about this."
Phoenix Guard Old Lich Farodis said seriously:
"I have been face to face with Frostmourne, and I have also felt Frostmourne's call to Undead like me. I must emphasize that just because Demon Sword is held by Lich King, it does not mean that it has only this origin.
I can be sure that Demon Sword was forged by the "god" of Shadowlands. Once it is really penetrated into Queen Azshara's body, a disaster that we cannot imagine will happen immediately."
"More importantly, can Suramar withstand the attack of Lich King?"
The commander of Kaldorei, Archdruid Broll Bearmantle said seriously:
"I just heard you say that the Lich King army has defeated the Vrykul clan of Stormheim? A powerful Vrykul undead force has been formed?"
"Not only Vrykul, Tauren of the Highmountain Tribe has also lost several bases."
Highborne sighed:
"If Mistress of Black Rook Hold hadn't taken them in in time, I'm afraid Highmountain Tribe would have been extinct. I heard that Ulan Gaoling Great Chieftain had sent a message for help to their Tauren compatriots, and the scattered Vrykul also sent a fleet to Northrend.
But it's no use!
Their reinforcements can only save themselves, but are unable to support Suramar's upcoming horrific siege. Eternal Shadow Governor is determined to intervene in this bad situation, but Azsuna's Highborne also needs help from the entire elven world.
I know that you have complicated attitudes towards Azshara, but it is Azshara after all!
Whether you are willing to admit it or not, Azshara is an inescapable figure in the history of all elves, so we cannot sit idly by.
We want to save Queen Azshara from Lich King's evil conspiracy, and save her for the last time."
The messenger sighed and said:
"Just think of it as repaying her kindness for protecting the empire. From now on, Highborne and Azshara will complete the final cutting, and we will embark on our own paths."
"You overlooked something."
The Queen of the Empire is Half Elf. She is obviously qualified to participate in such a discussion. She whispered:
"Xavius may also intervene. Suramar's Nightwell city defense can resist Undead, but it is difficult to resist the monsters in nightmares. More importantly, this person Archmage Elisande
Can she really be trusted?
If she is afraid that Queen Azshara will wake up and seize her pathetic power, then in such a situation, will she take the risk and choose to cooperate with Lich King?
After all, if Azshara dies, no matter what form Empress exists, she will no longer be able to command Elven Empire.
Until then, no one can shake Elisande's dominance over Suramar."
All the elves present fell silent.
This is the hidden danger that they are most worried about but have not spoken out. Elisande Judging from her past performance, she is really not a leader that can make people feel reassured.
"You don't have to worry."
When all the elves were silent, Shadow Hunter of Trolls pushed up its voodoo mask and said:
"When I left Zandalari, I was personally told by Dark Prophet Zul that if I could participate in such a meeting, then I would inform everyone of Dark Prophet's instructions.
At the same time as you are discussing, Dark Prophet of our clan has led the elites and boarded the ship in person to move towards Broken Isles! Several Loas are accompanied by the next golden queen of our clan, the majestic and beautiful Ms. Princess of All Spirits Talanji.
We will protect Queen Azshara from the forces of darkness
In fact, that's why I arrived at Quel'Thalas to bring support. On behalf of the empire, I declare to you, elves, you don't have to worry about Queen Azshara.
You weak "second sons of the world" just take care of yourselves in this battle!
We "World's Eldest Child" will take care of the rest."
