Archmage Modera and Archmage Ansirem teleported almost everyone in Dalaran to a location on the Fenris Isles. Then, following the original plan, they, along with Archmage Rhonin, Arcanist Doan, and several other Archmage, used Dalaran's stored spellcasting materials to construct a massive Violet Citadel Barrier.
The reason it can cover such a large area is that, as the most senior Kirin Tor councilor after Antonidas, Archmage Modera automatically gained temporary authority to wield the Eye of Dalaran after Antonidas' death, using the power of this artifact to support a weakened version of the Violet Citadel Barrier.
While it's impossible to stop the Scourge's full power, something is better than nothing.
However, before the Violet Citadel Barrier was fully set up, the several Archmage suddenly sensed an incredibly terrifying energy fluctuation and all turned their gazes to the south.
"What... is that?"
"What terrifying energy fluctuations! They surpass the energy fluctuations of the entire Dalaran, even the entire Sunwell! How is this possible!"
"In my memory, even Medivh never possessed such terrifying energy fluctuations. I seriously doubt whether Aegwynn back then truly wielded power at this level..."
" The Defiler, Archimonde!"
The Archmage were all shocked, because they all sensed Archimonde's energy level, which was far beyond their imagination. Perhaps only the artificial Demigod Aegwynn, who was at his peak, possessed power comparable to him!
" Drenden!" Archmage Modera's expression changed. She was about to use the Eye of Dalaran to observe the location a hundred kilometers away, but the Eye of Dalaran suddenly disobeyed her command. This sentient artifact was actually afraid...
Many years ago, when Aegwynn wielded the Guardian's Staff against the incarnation of Sargeras, the staff spirit Aluneth was too afraid to appear, forcing Aegwynn to use the Staff of the Guardian.
The same applies today.
This might indirectly prove that Archimonde's power was likely no less than, or even greater than, that of Sargeras's original avatar...
"What is he going to do?" Modera murmured to herself, sensing an unimaginable, mysterious seal appearing where Archimonde had appeared, containing knowledge that even she did not understand—knowledge that any mage would desperately want to acquire!
"Perhaps... Nicholas knows?" Modera quickly teleported to Jiang Jie's side and asked.
However, just as Jiang Jie was about to answer, he suddenly heard a deafening roar!
The next moment, he turned his gaze towards Dalaran and saw that the magical city, representing the Gawain of human magical civilization, simply vanish!
"This... how is this possible!" Modera almost groaned!
How could someone so easily Devastation such a prestigious magical city? Is this the force we must fight against? How can we fight against it? Who can fight against it?
Although he already knew this would be the outcome, seeing all of this happen and witnessing the Devastation of Dalaran, Jiang Jie still took a deep breath.
" Xiao Feng, can I... possess such power?" Jiang Jie asked in his heart.
"In the 35th century, martial arts, aided by supercomputers such as quantum computers, photonic computers, and biological computers, have developed to an unimaginable level. The superior martial arts you cultivate have actually undergone countless calculations by supercomputers! It can be said that martial artists themselves are the pinnacle of technological achievement of the Galactic Federation!"
Xiao Feng sneered in his mind, "In the 35th century galaxy, there are countless ways to Devastation a city, a planet. Think of powerful star destroyers... But martial artists can still rival high-tech weapons. Even piloting the most advanced mechs and warships cannot compare to the most powerful martial artists! Host, believe in yourself, believe in the game pod, believe in me... You can become stronger than him, you definitely can!"
Xiao Feng, brimming with pride, told Jiang Jie about the future development of the world.
This extends beyond weapons of mass destruction to the field of life sciences. After experiencing Scourge, man-made calamities, and crises in cosmic civilization, humanity has realized that external forces are unreliable, and only humanity itself is truly reliable. This has led to the vigorous development of life sciences. At its most advanced stage, life sciences manifest in the precise application of energy. For example, the Internal Energy and Chi of martial artists are forms of energy!
At the same time, another voice rang in Jiang Jie's ears:
"Young man, Archimonde is about to leave this land, and it's time for me to go too. Twilight of the Gods awaits me; it is my final mission as Keeper... Your growth pleases me. With you in the timeline, our hopes seem greater. Emperor Thoradin's will is not your constraint. I've changed my mind. Perhaps you should go to another continent, to see a world beyond humans, Dwarves, and High Elf... Even demons might not be able to stop you, as long as you don't get surrounded, as long as you don't face Archimonde directly!"
Jiang Jie looked up and saw a blood-red crow flapping its wings and flying westward.
It stirs the threads of history and the continuation of mythology.
Three days after the Devastation of Dalaran, in the ruins of Dalaran.
Jiang Jie, wielding the divine sword Strom'kar and carrying the orange bow Thori'dal, is leading the entire Fenris People's Army in a battle against the Undead!
"Die, Crypt Fiend!"
Jiang Jie pierced the ground with his sword, Corruption Thorns destroyed two Crypt Fiend that were trying to emerge from the ground to Cheap Shot. Then he looked up towards the southwest.
That's the direction of Gilneas.
Three days ago, Archimonde left this continent and disappeared without a trace. Jiang Jie knew that he must have gone to the Kalimdor, but with his energy level, he couldn't teleport directly, so it would take a long time.
The Kirin Tor mages obtained valuable information through various methods.
Archimonde took away a large number of demons, including Tichondrius, as well as tens of thousands of Undead elites, including the Lich "Reki Winterfrost" and the Ice King " Amnennar ". As a result, the Scourge under Arthas was weaker than ever before.
Uther and his Order of the Silver Hand, along with the Kirin Tor battlemages and guards led by two Archmage, quickly left Fenris Isles and arrived on this land to begin their counterattack.
The Devastation of Dalaran served as a wake-up call to other nations. Eagle's Nest, the closest Aerie Peak, immediately dispatched Wildhammer Gryphon Rider to provide support, and Ironforge also prepared to offer assistance.
Without the help of demons and a large number of Undead elites, the Scourge was unable to directly confront the elite forces of various nations. Arthas had no choice but to order a retreat, leaving behind a portion of the Undead to hold them off. They sailed south along the Dead Scar Trail, having already left Southshore and returned to Gilneas.
He planned to concentrate his forces, take over the entire Gilneas, turn the hundreds of thousands of Gilneas who remained in Gilneas and had not had time to evacuate into Undead, and turn Gilneas into the Scourge's stronghold!
Archmage Modera, skilled in dealing with various nations, quickly led a contingent of Kirin Tor battlemages to Greymane Wall to provide support. In return, Gilneas would contribute manpower and resources to the reconstruction of Dalaran in the near future.
Meanwhile, Archmage Ansirem, and Archmage Rhonin, who was clearly a candidate for Kirin Tor councilor, led the other mages in the reconquest of Dalaran.
With the help of the Order of the Silver Hand, the task proceeded smoothly.
Jiang Jie led the people of Fenris Isle and worked here for three days, clearing away the Undead and absorbing energy.
The surface of Dalaran Devastation, and the entire city was filled with Arcane turbulence. Uncontrolled energy was a favorite of the game pods, and Jiang Jie had absorbed half the amount of energy he had absorbed in Silvermoon City in the past few days!
Now that the Undead in the city have been mostly cleared out, the two Archmage and the other mages used the Eye of Dalaran to reactivate the Violet Citadel Barrier. However, it was a simplified version of the Violet Citadel Barrier, less than one-tenth the power of the original, but it was at least enough to stop the attacks of ordinary Undead.
Jiang Jie had spoken with the two Archmage. The people of Fenris Isles would help clear the ruins and rebuild Dalaran. Queen Calia, at Jiang Jie Jie's suggestion, also expressed her willingness to provide maximum assistance for the reconstruction of Dalaran. In return, Fenris Isles would become entirely part of Lordaeron's territory, and the rebuilt Dalaran would reserve a place for Lordaeron, or more precisely, for Jiang Jie.
Rhonin was a very insightful person. He believed that the reason Silvermoon City, Sunwell, Gilneas City, and Dalaran were so easily breached by the Scourge was because the Scourge possessed a flying fortress that could appear and disappear unpredictably. Therefore, he proposed:
The rebuilt Dalaran will become a floating city!
This would certainly require very strong financial support, but Dalaran's reserves, plus aid from other countries, were already sufficient, and the two Kirin Tor councilors nodded in agreement.
As the sun set, Jiang Jie left Dalaran with Anveena, because he had received a message from Miss Lorna:
Worgen have appeared in Pyrewood Village!
