Chapter 252: Battle of Quel'Thalas (middle)

Quel'Thalas Border Outpost-If this piece of ruins can still be called an outpost.
Today's fifteenth ... may also be the sixteenth wave of attack, who cares? Anyway, those things finally retreated. After paying hundreds of broken corpses, the rotting monsters gave up this breakthrough point, saying that the renunciation was not very accurate. In fact, their retreat was entirely due to the magic barrier: finally The special barrier activated at the juncture blocked the breath of life emitted near the outpost, lost the biggest target, and continued to be attacked, those undead finally gave up this place.
There are fewer than ten surviving sentries, and the mage responsible for supplying magic to the magic circle is only two trainees who have just left the apprentice stage. This has already reached the limit of supporting defense and can persist until now. This is already a miracle of miracles.
Due to the devastating invasion of Alsace, Quel'Thalas has fallen into a situation of ten rooms and nine empty spaces. Even if the apprentice-level mage is also drawn into the army, the distant troop unit put together is far from supporting. The defense of the entire border. Prior to this, the blood elves had streamlined the organization of a single sentry unit, but this could not fundamentally solve the problem. The original number of soldiers in this outpost was only twenty. —Equivalent to less than half of a sentry unit in the glorious period of Quel'Thalas, and more than half of the more than twenty were apprentices who had just completed temporary training. In the first battle, these apprentices Two-thirds died under the claws of the undead, and the only two mage apprentices remaining were the only hope that this outpost could survive-if it lost the kind of life that could temporarily block the breath of life The magic barrier, as long as one hour, this outpost will be completely submerged by the tide-like undead.
About a kilometer behind the outpost, a pale blue enchantment across the sky shone with a slight glow, which was the last barrier for the entire Quel'Thalas kingdom, and was used under the iron hoof of Alsace The fragile protective layer constructed by the only two runestones left, if the protective cover goes out, the entire Quel'Thalas will be finished.
Compared with the magical barriers that once covered the entire Quel'Thalas, this protective shield flashing constantly due to lack of energy is really fragile to a pitiful degree.
The significance of this outpost in front of the shield and other outposts on this line is to try to block the undead army as much as possible, at least to share some of the pressure on the crumbling protective enchantment-although it now looks like this Efforts are merely delaying the destruction that will come.
"Captain, when will our reinforcements come?"
A pale young female elf emerged from the wounded barracks, her turquoise beautiful eyes with unconcealed tiredness and fear that had not receded. From the point of view of dress, this was still a trainee stage The rookie mage, and the continuous supply of magic to the magical barrier of this little outpost has exhausted the rookie who is not rich in magic reserves.
The object of her inquiry was the captain of the sentinel standing outside the barracks overlooking the rotten earth in the distance. A tall elf warrior, few of the blood elves completely gave up magic and specialized in melee combat. This sentinel captain is no exception. As can be seen from the dark red halo swimming on the surface of his armor, this is a dual repair warrior supplemented with low-level fire magic-and only the long-lived blood elves are qualified to invest a lot of energy in fighting. At the same time, he also learns profound and complicated magic knowledge.
"Soon, if there is no accident, Silver Moon City's reinforcements will come in a few days. Our current task is to stick to this place. We must not let the big enchantment in the rear be more impacted ... Torina, you go first. Take a break, don't take part in the next battle, keep your energy to support the magic barrier. "
The tired captain of the sentry captain tried to show a relaxed smile, so comforting the rookie mage who had apparently not been able to adapt to this kind of war, the latter did not seem to notice the decisiveness of the captain's eyes-or did he notice But forcing himself to ignore the desperate look, the elf mage named Torina showed a reassuring smile and returned to the barracks.
I have no reinforcements.
The Captain of the Sentinel knew this very well, and the only remaining combat power in Silvermoon City had been placed on the outer defense line of the magic enchantment, including his own chaotic and miscellaneous army. This was already Quel'Thalas. The last defensive force, except for the dozens of mages who stayed on the Tower of Sunfury to provide magical supplements for the entire enchantment, only the old and weak women with no combat power left in the entire Silvermoon City ...
Although the only few soldiers have been soothed with lies, the captain of the sentry knows that everyone has already guessed this. He is deceiving them with a good lie, and they are forcing themselves to believe that there is no credibility. Sexual news.
The once powerful and splendid High Elf Kingdom has now fallen into a situation of relying on a group of trainee soldiers to delay the collapse. This fact is not mentioned in the so-called "plot".
Of course, in the original "plot", the blood elves did not encounter the collective riot of hundreds of thousands of unlucky people just when they were about to breathe ...
At this moment, a burst of depressing breath suddenly came from afar, and the captain of the sentinel who was lost in thought suddenly became alert.
There was nothing out of sight, and no rotten limbs popped out in the blackened mud, but the intuition of the elves has always been quite accurate. In such battles, the high-elf's elegant character sentry has long been abandoned. Regardless of the dirt and blood on the ground, the captain proficiently fell to the ground and put his long ears close to the ground.
The next moment, his face became extremely pale.
That is the sound of a large group of horses and horses running, the source of the sound is that piece of rotten wasteland.
In that direction, the only things that can move are Carrion and Skeleton.
The Captain of the Sentinel stood up, reflecting in his pupils the smoke rising from the distant horizon and a black tide that was gradually enlarged.
The shaking of the earth has reached a vaguely detectable level. Without the audible warning of the captain of the sentinel, the soldiers who have developed intuition during the continuous high-intensity battles for a few days have been alertly drilled out of the barracks.
"The sun is up!" Torina whispered in panic, "We're done!"
"How come so many !?"
Even the coolest sentry captain couldn't help sending out such a screaming horror. The undead army who could not see the margins had far exceeded the number of enemies they had encountered in these days. Could it be said that these days Hundreds of thousands of undead who are constantly on the move and finally want to launch a general attack at this moment?
Although such a comprehensive shock had been expected to come sooner or later, when faced with it, the sentry captain would still have difficulty accepting this fact.
"Hurry ... get ready for the magic barrier ..."
"No way ..." Torina's face paled, "Sare and I are already ..."
The Captain of the Sentinel also subconsciously thought of opening the life-saving magic barrier, but he also knew clearly that even if the barrier was opened, the undead army could not sense the breath of life here, what's the point?
In the torrent of the dead, there is no possibility of escape!
Quel'Thalas is about to finish-this is the only idea flashing in the captain of the sentinel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but at this time, a highly observant ranger beside him suddenly issued a surprise Voice: "Strange, those monsters seem a little strange ..."
The words of the Ranger gave the captain of the sentry somehow a glimmer of hope. He again observed the undead who was approaching from a distance, and finally found that the enemy's situation seemed different from the previous attack.
They don't seem to pay any attention to the life-intensive targets in the front, they just run forward desperately, and even some fragile little skeletons are constantly broken into pieces by taller monster bodies. This situation is not so much It's scramble to rush to dinner, but rather ...
Escape?
The captain of the Sentinel flashed the words that sounded ridiculous at this time.
Escape? These unconscious undead also have the concept of escape? Do they feel afraid? Or, do they still have enough brain tissue to produce the concept of "escape?"
But the next moment, the captain of the sentry felt that he was right.
A dazzling white beam of light pierced the gloomy clouds in the distance, and fell behind the tide of the undead like a punishment. With a huge explosion that shook the earth slightly, a large white light ball burst from the point of fall Come out, and beside the light ball, there are pieces of undead stubbles thrown up by the explosion.
之后 After the first beam of light is over, the second and the third ...
The staggering explosions, which appeared more and more frequently behind the undead tide, spread farther in this direction than the latter fled.
Those undead are really escaping!
