Shadow Trails in Azeroth

At this time, Dalaran was already in a panic.

The Spellweaver appeared in the sky above the city of Lordaeron, and in order to hunt down the black dragon, he locked the magic network in the entire northern border. The direct result was that most of the magic defense of Dalaran City was destroyed in an instant.

The same situation also occurs in distant Quel'Thalas, but the elves have sunwells. Even if the magic network is locked, they can temporarily rely on the sunwell to charge various magic arrays.

But although Dalaran has that kind of magical object that contains huge magic power, its use is prohibited.

The shutdown of the city's magic circle soon caused quite serious problems. Several mage towers in the city exploded due to lack of magic power, and black smoke made the entire sky above Dalaran a mess.

This is just the simplest and easiest problem to deal with. The mages can solve it by throwing a few small snowstorms.

The real trouble lies in the Violet Prison, where many evil people are imprisoned. The magic network cannot provide magic power, causing most of the prison's defense facilities to shut down.

Some dangerous elements have even begun to attack the cages, preparing to take the opportunity to escape.

This caused almost a third of the battle mages in the city to be mobilized before the situation could be suppressed.

The arrival of the blue dragon and the sudden locking of the magic network also forced the interruption of the magic debate meeting being held in the city. In addition, the news of Lothar's attack in Lordaeron City caused the six people led by Antonidas to The council had to send mages to protect and support.

The most depressing thing is that because the King of Magic Malygos banned the use of teleportation, the noble mages had to humiliate themselves by using ships on the docks of Dalaran to cross Lake Lordaemir to the city of Lordaeron.

These events happened one after another, and they came one after another, which made the six-person council feel a little numb for a while. They had to divide people to protect Lothar, and keep people to take charge of the overall situation in the city, and the Blue Dragon The war with the black dragon also made some spellcasters eager to take a look at it.

This resulted in the entire Dalaran being in a very rare, disorderly and noisy scene at noon. And this scene was keenly captured by a group of people who were secretly hiding in the foothills of Alterac Mountain not far from the Magic City.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Their city shield has been weakened, and the archmage has left by ship. We must seize this opportunity!"

At a mountain pass overlooking Dalaran, Gaboya, a skeleton pirate holding a rusty telescope, turned his skull 180 degrees and turned his head in horror.

Using their broken gong voices, three groups of people with different purposes behind them and their own agendas shouted:

"Rush! Rush! Rush now!

Throw out all your most powerful gadgets and let's rush into the city. Those who want to rob things will rob things, those who want to summon demons will summon demons, and those who want to kill people will kill them.

If you delay it any longer, you will never have such a good opportunity again. "

"My pirate brother is right."

Eredin, the leader of the Black Spirit Pirates, also looked happy under his helmet. He said in an impatient tone to the snakes and trolls beside him:

"We first summon demons to clear the way, and you rush in to create chaos and buy us time. This city, this world, will be reduced to ashes under the wrath of the master today!

And we, we are the vanguard that brings destruction and death. "

"Summoning a demon? Are you crazy?"

The one-armed, one-eyed troll chief Zuljin wore a bloody half-mask and sneered:

"Even a rude troll like me knows that dragons and demons are incompatible. If you summon demons now, you will only attract those blue dragons, and the gains outweigh the losses.

You can summon demons if you want, but you have to wait until we sack Dalaran, and you have to wait until I kill Kael'thas and Lothar.

What do my Snake friends say? "

The two legendary leaders of the snake people exchanged a few words with each other in their weird snake language, and the snake general Adris, who was carrying a double-edged lightning battle ax, spit out the snake message.

It glanced at its "allies" with cold eyes and said:

"We believe that the Troll Brothers' considerations are correct. There is only one last step left to reach the Emperor's goal, and we cannot allow any extraneous matters at this time.

Those of you who want to summon a demon should wait a moment. "

"But without the demons charging into battle, how can we enter the city?"

The black knight spellcaster Haas behind Eredin asked in a cold tone:

"The blocking of the Magic Network only weakened Dalaran's violet barrier, but it did not destroy it. It took too long for just us to break the barrier.

Dalaran is very close to the city of Lordaeron. Once they return for reinforcements, this opportunity will be wasted. "

The two snake men looked at each other. The snake man shaman general Aspix spat out the snake message indifferently. He raised the lightning scepter in his hand, pointed at the mountain col behind, and said coldly in a weird human language:

"The Emperor's wisdom is beyond your imagination. For this operation, we specially brought the Thunder God Evil that was born from the death of the mysterious mistress.

Once it is released, the ridiculous barrier on the city will soon be torn apart.

Since everyone is cooperating now, although the goals are different, we are also willing to use our divine sins here in the name of cooperation. However, if anyone dares to interfere with the emperor's plan, the wrath of thunder will befall you! "

"Okay, Snake brothers are loyal."

Zuljin laughed. The troll chief was carrying an exaggerated troll heavy sword on his back, and he had a vicious and sinister voodoo arm blade on his one arm. His one eye looked towards the place not far away. Dalaran, a cold light flashed.

He said:

"When your gods break the barrier, the Amani clan will rush into the city as a vanguard to buy you time. Where is the Black Knight? What do you say?"

"We only need the Eye of Dalaran as the energy source to open the Legion's portal."

Eredin patted the Book of Medivh hanging on his waist and responded loudly:

"There are still many treasures in that city, but under the destruction that the master wants to see most, those things are not worth mentioning. We will also attack the city as a forward, and our bone dragons will provide you with air cover."

"Very good, it seems that everyone has agreed."

The skeleton pirate Gaboya grinned his skull and made a weird, sharp laugh. He wore an exaggerated outfit with more than a dozen rings and bracelets, spread out his hands in front of everyone, and said:

"Then what are you waiting for? My evil brothers, let's charge!

Rush in and loot Dalaran! Well, God of Pirates, this is the most exciting robbery for me since the robbery of Dazar'alor.

As long as they survive, everyone will become rich!

Hahaha. "

No one paid attention to Gaboa's plundering frenzy, and no one even responded to his "pre-war declaration." After this crazy skeleton pirate gathered these people together, his mission was completed.

It's the same now with or without him.

The three parties do not need his "pirate wisdom" for advice, and no one cares about his life or death.

Gaboa himself knew this very well, but he showed that he didn't care.

He just wanted to participate in this robbery and get "a little benefit" for himself. After today, his contract with the Faithless Snake Empire will end, and he will get a meaningless freedom.

But that's not the only thing Gaboa wants.

"Amani, let's go!"

After a short rest, Zuljin waved his hand on an armored war bear.

There were Amani shamans in front of them, raising their bone horns and blowing loudly. Amidst the desolate sound of the horns, large groups of Amani berserkers rode on their ferocious war bears, heading towards Dalaran from the mountain col. Kill them in a mighty manner.

In addition to the warriors riding bears, some large brown eagles were also released. There were not many of these males, but each one could carry a Loa priest of the eagle god Ekilson to fight in battle.

There are also some Amani dragon hawk knights, also carried by the blessed beasts of the dragon hawk god Gayalai, flying to Dalaran as the "air force" of the Amani clan.

The Amani clan worships four Loa. Although they are all weak Loa, their quantity can also compare with their quality advantage.

Especially after Gaboya brought them some evil knowledge originating from Zandalar, the Amani clan used the power of the Loa to create four legendary priests.

Coupled with Chief Zul'jin and the sorcerer lord Malacath, the Amani clan led by six legends can be said to be a strong force.

Perhaps attacking a country like Lordaeron is not enough, but with the help of "companions", attacking a severely weakened magical city of Dalaran, haha, is not a big problem.

The movement of this large group of trolls, snakemen, and black knights rushing towards Dalaran was quickly noticed by the surveillance mages in the city. The piercing magic alarm spread throughout the entire city of Dalaran in an instant. The little mages who had a heated discussion about which one was more powerful, the black dragon or the blue dragon, were in a panic.

The high-level mages with war experience immediately grabbed the wands and staffs at hand, rushed out of their mage towers, and gathered in various directions to fight.

It has to be said that the mages of Dalaran who have experienced the baptism of the orc war are extremely high-quality. In less than ten minutes, they opened the violet barrier outside the city.

But because the magic net is locked, the defense power of this magic circle is less than one-fifth of its normal level.

"Send the Phoenix Mage! Support the Kirin Tor."

In the elven area of ​​the city, Prince Kael'thas, who was resting and preparing for the next magic debate, immediately gave instructions after hearing about the situation outside. The Phoenix mages were also gathered to prepare for the next magic debate in Dalaran. Magic center support.

"Gather the academy's manpower and don't worry about Dalaran."

On the other side, in the Mage Tower where Nathalas Academy temporarily resided, Dean Elya Blue Moon made a completely different decision.

She picked up the Holy Staff of Alunes and said to the instructors in front of her:

“This city is capable of protecting itself, and what we have to do is not to join their system rashly, but to give them no worries.

Deliana and Netir commanded the students to build a magic defense line centered on our mage tower, bringing in those little mages and civilians who were unable to help.

Farodis, Elan, you two come with me, we are going to a more important place to set up defenses. "

A group of spellcasters immediately took action under the order of the dean. When Dean Lanyue left the mage tower with the two legendary mages, the elf mage Ellie who hurried over also found them and said:

"Master Merry is waiting for you at the predetermined location. Master Khadgar and I are going to support the front line, so please."

"Boom"

Before Ellie could finish her words, a loud thunder sounded over Dalaran, startling the elf mage. She raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky that was clear just a moment ago was now covered with dark clouds.

Beating thunderbolts were moving back and forth among the clouds, and the dark clouds were thicker. Those black clouds were still rotating, and strong winds were blowing, mixed with weird roars and rushing through the entire city of Dalaran.

"what is that?"

Ellie exclaimed.

The well-informed Dean Lan Yue's expression became serious. The ancient arcane element in the Holy Staff of Alunes in her hand made a strange cry and reminded loudly:

"That is an elemental evil with divinity! It is most likely a monster condensed with the residual power of a certain demigod after the death. Hide quickly, it can attack without magic power!"

"Wow"

Aluneth's reminder came at the right time.

The moment Dean Lanyue led Ellie and others into the mage tower, a dazzling thunderstorm fell from the sky like a heavy rain, sweeping across the entire chaotic city.

Dazzling bolts of lightning struck down like war hammers, hitting the violet barrier above the city of Dalaran, like heavy rain falling on a pond, causing thousands of ripples in an instant.

"This shield won't last long."

Dean Lanyue pushed up his crystal glasses and observed the violet barrier in the sky with a calmness unique to a spell caster. After seeing the light curtain above his head being struck by lightning three times and causing magical tremors, The dean shook his head with regret.

She lowered her head and said to Ellie, who was hiding in her arms and holding her trembling pointed ears:

"Don't be afraid, if the enemy's purpose is not to destroy the city, then this kind of range attack will not appear after the thunder is over.

You go to the city to find those little mages and bring them to Narthalas Academy.

There is an elemental evil here, and the defense of the mage tower that has lost its magic power is meaningless.

Remember, bring them here, Ellie.

If you still want to survive today's disaster alive. "

"boom"

The moment the dean finished speaking, the violet barrier covering the city above everyone's heads was finally overwhelmed and turned into chaotic magic flying back into the city amidst the sound of shattering glass.

While most of an unlucky mage tower was blown to pieces, the last wave of thunder also served as a "baptism", washing the entire noisy city into deathly silence.

The unlucky people on the street who had no time to evacuate or were too eager to watch the excitement suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and there was a wailing after the deathly silence.

"Hahaha"

Riding on the back of a dragon eagle, the skeleton pirate Gaboa waved the Kingslayer dagger in his hand, pretending that he was the commander of the trolls behind him.

In the background of thunder and lightning, he shouted loudly:

"The dazzling treasure is ahead, boys of the cursed fleet! Charge, rush in, kill! Rob! Burn! Let this beautiful city always remember our names and always fear our cruelty.

Let these stupid mages tremble under our trampling!

Hahaha.

After seven thousand years, the Pirate King of Zandalari is back! "
