The Elf Rangers could inflict only limited damage on the Death Soldiers. Only the mid- and High Rank Rangers could kill them quickly. The many low-ranking Rangers, faced with Death Soldiers who cared nothing for damage to their bodies, felt as helpless as the Dire Wolves.
The Death Soldiers in heavy plate armor were especially troublesome, like so many humanoid turtles. The Rangers' arrows had almost no chance of piercing the Death Warriors' bodies.
Even the Undead Soldiers clad in chainmail frustrated the low-ranking Rangers. Though their arrows turned the Death Soldiers into pincushions, the soldiers ignored them as though they felt nothing and continued their assault.
The mid- and High Rank Elf Rangers could kill Death Soldiers quickly, but there were too few of them. Fortunately, the elves had Mages, the favored children of the almighty Blizzard. Though they numbered even fewer than the mid- and High Rank Elf Rangers, they wielded powerful area-of-effect spells. Blizzard, Rain of Fire, and Arcane Blast came in an endless barrage, inflicting immeasurable damage on the Death Soldiers.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk noticed that frost spells such as Blizzard, which had performed spectacularly since the battle began, were far less effective against the Death Soldiers. Fire and arcane magic, which had seemed slightly inferior until now, proved exceptionally effective against the undead.
The freezing effects that frost spells frequently inflicted on ordinary living creatures rarely occurred against the undead. They seemed highly resistant to frost magic, yet the Death Soldiers were much more vulnerable to fire and arcane magic than other creatures.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk glanced over at Sylvanas and saw her fighting the death knight. No, that was not right! Sylvanas was beating up the death knight.
The death knight wore heavy armor, and the nearby buildings offered no protrusions he could use
