The Key of March, a magic weapon divided into three pieces of moon crystal, is also the final key necessary for the Scourge to pass through the Elven Gate to Silvermoon City.
They are secretly stored in three treasure halls in Quel'Thalas, and each treasure hall is located at the intersection of the magic paths, and its appearance is very similar to the sunwell.
In other words, these halls are small sunwells, maintaining the "Bandinorel" magic barrier that has protected the high elves for thousands of years.
All the magical paths are like the arteries of the earth, but the flow is not blood, but pure magical energy originating from the core of the planet under your feet.
This is a secret that only a handful of high-level elven mages know, and even the dwarves, humans, and gnomes who are allies do not know it.
But now, just because of Darkan Drasil's betrayal, the powerful magical barrier that even the Lich King and Arthas were helpless has been easily disintegrated.
Thanks to the help of the leading party, the natural disaster army does not even need to attack these temples with powerful magical guards. They only need to send a few death knights and necromancers to follow the opponent inside, and then launch a sudden attack to kill the guards, and then they can
It's easy to get the crystal key you want.
Antras, Andalus, Anowein...
In less than four days, all three temples fell, and all the mages, guards and arcane puppets stationed there were killed and injured, and even early warning news was not given out in time.
Facts have proved that when a country is invaded by a foreign enemy, there is nothing more fatal than the appearance of traitors at the top of the country.
Although Ranger General Sylvanas alone bought Silvermoon City some time by blowing up the bridge, the High Elf Council still did not pass the emergency recruitment bill to gather all the mages to form a legion to deal with the natural disasters that may come at any time.
Army.
You must know that after the massacre in the Land of Ghosts and Eversong Forest, Arthas's army no longer only has ground units such as skeletons, ghouls, zombies, shadows, ghosts, Stitched Abominations, and Crypt Demons.
Through the slaughter of the forest trolls, he also obtained more powerful units such as giant bear zombies transformed by the plague, death dragon eagles and giant eagles.
These were originally raptors and beasts domesticated by the Amani trolls, but now they were all forced to join the Scourge and became the elites who were about to invade Silvermoon City and start a massacre.
After thousands of years, the trolls finally wanted to take revenge on their old enemies in another way.
I just don't know if they will be happy about it.
Looking at the rushing river in front of him and the beautiful female elf standing on the other side of the river bank, as well as the perseverance revealed in her eyes, Arthas revealed a teasing smile.
He just raised Frostmourne in his hand and pointed it into the river, and thousands of zombies and ghouls around him jumped into the water with a plop one after another.
One of them grabbed the other's leg, and they actually sank underwater and hugged the stone to avoid being washed away by the current.
The undead behind continued to advance by stepping on the corpses of the same kind, and climbed to the other side through this relay method.
When a link made of corpses appeared, the rest of the undead creatures rushed into the river and used their bodies to build a bridge that could allow heavy siege equipment such as meat grinders, ballistas, and catapults to pass through.
.
No!
It should be said that it is a road!
Because even the rapid river water was blocked by countless undead armies.
The sight that was so nerve-wracking made Sylvanas look in disbelief.
The most important thing is that many corpses soaked in the water have even polluted the river.
Countless plagues quickly infected and transformed fish, turtles, and crabs in the water, making them extremely dangerous and aggressive.
It can be foreseen that if the villages downstream accidentally drink the water from the river, the entire village will inevitably be infected, and eventually they will all be transformed into soldiers of the undead natural disaster.
Like a general about to win, Alsace rode his undead horse invincibly across the road built by countless undead to the other side of the river.
At this moment, his mind couldn't help but recall the tragic jump one winter, when Wu Di stepped on the frozen rocks and stumbled, eventually breaking his leg and falling to the ground screaming in pain.
At that time, I was so desperate that I almost suffocated, and even had to cry and pierce the heart of my best friend and best companion with a sharp sword.
But everything is different now.
He is no longer the fragile mortal who was tortured by guilt and shame to the point of mental collapse, and Invincible is no longer the ordinary animal that can be injured and die.
Everyone and each horse are much stronger than before.
The invincible that was once lost will live on in the world forever, serving its master as always, and will never feel hunger, thirst and pain, nor will it age or die.
This is the most perfect state in the world - eternity.
And Arthas, who was once a prince, will be able to do whatever he wants without worrying about his father's silent opposition, hearing Uther's pedantic reproaches, and not even Jaina's questioning gaze...
He enjoys this kind of freedom and unrestraint, enjoys the satisfaction brought by breaking all rules and secular ethics, and is eager to go against the grain and do all the things he did not dare to do before, whether it is massacre or destroying everything that others value most.
The only price that needs to be paid is to be loyal to the Lich King and serve his plan.
"go ahead!"
After successfully crossing the river, the Death Knight immediately issued orders to the growing legion.
With the collapse of the Elven Gate and the magic barrier, now there is only Silvermoon City standing between him and the Sunwell.
What he wants to do is to completely raze this elven city that has gone through countless wars and has never been truly captured to the ground to prove the unrivaled power of the Lich King and the Scourge.

The hope, light, and justice that those creatures are proud of are nothing but insignificant dust in the face of cold and ruthless death.
With this thought, Arthas glanced at the ranger general who had begun to retreat with a look full of contempt.
Although this elf who was good at archery caused him a lot of trouble, it only delayed the march of the army.
The other side didn't even dare to fight head-on.
The only thing that can be done is to continue sneak attacks, harassment, and find ways to burn down the siege equipment that can pose a huge threat to Silvermoon City.
"Damn it! It seems that the plan that I originally expected to delay for a day or two has failed. If this continues, they will all be able to complete the crossing in a few hours at most. No, I have to notify others immediately."
Seeing that the undead army had begun to cross the river, Sylvanas did not dare to stop for even a second, and immediately turned around and headed to a nearby village to organize the evacuation of the civilians.
Since she had witnessed with her own eyes the tragic conditions in places that had been raided by the Scourge, she knew very well that Zuo Si was right.
The safest method at this stage is to first transfer a large number of civilians who have no fighting capacity.
No matter whether Silvermoon City can be defended or not, it can at least ensure that Quel'Thalas will not be wiped out in one battle if the worst happens, and there will still be a chance for a comeback.
Similarly, moving living civilians away can prevent them from being killed and indirectly increasing the number and strength of the undead army.
With this idea in mind, General Ranger and her men ignored the poor state of physical and mental exhaustion from fighting guerrilla warfare in Alsace for several days, and quickly dispersed one by one to notify the civilians in the surrounding villages and towns, immediately throwing away unnecessary belongings and starting
Migrate to the largest port in Yonge Forest.
Because there is really not much time left for them.
Although the terrifying number of undead legions is far from fast, the most terrifying thing about these guys is that they don't need to rest or eat, and they won't be exhausted from traveling long distances.
Whether it is day or night, windy or rainy, whether the road becomes muddy, it makes no difference to a group of undead creatures.
Similarly, Sylvanas also realized that she had to do something to buy the refugees time to escape.
Otherwise, once thousands of civilians without combat effectiveness are overtaken or intercepted during the transfer process, the consequences will be catastrophic.
It's time to make the necessary sacrifices to protect Quel'Thalas like my eldest sister Alleria...
Sylvanas quickly made a decision in her heart.
As a member of the Windrunner family, she understands that this is the responsibility she must bear and the fate she cannot escape.
…
There is no doubt that the shattering of the Elf Gate, the collapse of the magic barrier, and the rapidly approaching Scourge Legion have made Silvermoon City, which was peaceful and peaceful before, suddenly become nervous.
Even Prince Kael'thas, who had always had no independent opinions and always seemed indecisive, had to hold an emergency meeting to discuss building a defense system, and at the same time urgently sent people to the Sunwell to invite his father back.
Although he is several human lifetimes old, he is still a "youngster" with no experience in the eyes of veterans who are often two to three thousand years old, and he is not qualified to replace Anasteria Sunstrider to handle such an important matter.
matter.
After all, the latter led the high elves to decide to form an alliance with humans to turn the tide and win the war with the trolls. Otherwise, Quel'Thalas would have been completely destroyed thousands of years ago and would not be as glorious as it is today.
It is precisely because of the brilliant achievements of Anasteria that the people and parliamentarians are unwilling to believe anyone except him at the current critical moment.
Unless the old king truly dies, Kael'thas will always be just a prince and will never have the chance to touch power.
This is also the biggest difference between him and Alsace.
Although they are both crown princes, the latter is the elder son of King Terenas.
According to the average human lifespan, Arthas does not need to wait until the age of thirty to inherit the throne and become the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
But Kael'thas could only wait patiently, and even left his country to find another job in Dalaran because he had nothing to do.
