But the problem is that Arthas and the Scourge Legion under his command have broken through all the magic barriers and the defenses of the Elf Gate, and will reach Silvermoon City in a few days.

Apart from concentrating on fighting, I have no other choice."

"Immediately recall the high-level elven mages in Dalaran, and then gather them all to build a defensive circle composed of ice, fire, arcane energy, and thunder and lightning.

With the infinite supply of mana from the Sunwell, no matter how many undead there are, it is impossible for them to rush in.

This is your only chance to hold on and even win.

If you miss it, then the fall of Silvermoon City will only be a matter of time.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I believe you should have learned from Sylvanas’ report that a traitor has appeared within the high elves.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for Arthas to break through the magical barrier that had protected Quel'Thalas for thousands of years in such a short period of time, accurately find the three temples where the keys were kept, and snatch them away at lightning speed.

Got it."

Zuo Si tried for the last time to persuade the equally tragic prince in front of him, as well as the High Elf Council who still didn't shed tears after seeing the coffin.

Through the eyes of church pastors and believers, he had learned that refugees began to appear one after another in Yangfan Port.

Although the number was not large, less than 2,000, it was enough to show that the ranger troops sent out were about to be unable to hold on.

Kael'thas smiled bitterly, shook his head and explained: "Sorry, this goes against our laws and traditions that protect the interests of all mages.

What's more, it's too late to even think about it now.

Just half an hour ago, the council had passed a resolution to seal off the entire Silver Moon City and activate the magic defense system.

Therefore, all teleportation magic is prohibited.

This is to prevent the enemy from using the traitor's knowledge of the city to teleport in and launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, the high elf mages of Dalaran have no way to rush back through the portal, and the same is true for those mages living in other magic spires in Eversong Forest.

I suggest you leave as soon as possible before the troops reach the city."

When saying these words, the elf prince's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.

After all, there is nothing more painful than clearly seeing the problem but not being able to solve it.

As a genius mage, Kael'thas naturally cannot be a fool. He has long known that in addition to the traitor Darkan Drasil, there must be people in the council who secretly defect to the enemy.

But the question is what can be done now?

A thorough investigation with great fanfare?

Not only will it be impossible to find the betrayer in a short period of time, but it may also lead to internal chaos, which will eventually lead to panic and even organizational defense problems.

What's more, the ruling method of the high elves is not the feudal system that emphasizes the authority of the monarch like the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but a parliamentary politics similar to a constitutional monarchy.

The legislative and executive powers are both in the hands of the Parliament. Even the king must obtain the authorization of the Parliament to issue decrees, assemble troops, and launch wars.

This means that once a problem arises in the parliament, it is absolutely impossible to solve it quickly.

What's more, there are already many factions in the parliament, and fights and noises are unavoidable even on ordinary days. Fighting and attacking each other are commonplace, and it is completely impossible to tell who is the traitor who has been bribed.

Therefore, we can only simply pretend that we don't know what to do, continue to maintain the superficial unity, and first find a way to defend Silver Moon City.

Unlike Arthas, who always had the right to choose his destiny, Kael'thas, the elf prince, never had much choice.

He is more like a poor guy who is constantly driven away and can only choose between the worst and the not-so-worse path.

The former means quick death, while the latter means death after suffering enough pain and suffering.

Through these few days of observation, Zuo Si has obviously learned about the political system within Silver Moon City that has experienced thousands of years of class solidification and the monopoly of all rights and resources by powerful families.

Unless a war breaks out and all these upper ruling classes die, there is no internal force that can reverse the current situation.

In fact, the reason why Kael'thas was able to quickly rise to power and become the leader of the blood elves after Quel'Thalas suffered its annihilation was thanks to the massacre Arthas caused in Silvermoon City.

It was the latter who unintentionally helped the former clear all obstacles to power.

Many times the cruel reality is so ironic and full of black humor.

Things that may be considered bad by most people may actually have a positive effect;

And those things that people think are good may actually have extremely bad consequences.

However, Zuo Si did not follow Kael'thas's advice and leave Silvermoon City, which was destined to fall, but chose to stay.

Because he wanted to see what Arthas had become today, and what the difference was between Ner'zhul, the first Lich King's ability to control the minds of undead creatures, and the mind flayer mastermind.

In addition, the tens of thousands of high elves gathered in Silvermoon City also need a way to retreat at critical moments.

After all, the other party had helped the human refugees in Lordaeron open a new home in Stranglethorn Vale.

In return, Zuo Si naturally had to ensure the survival of a part of the elf population.

The most important thing is that he does not want to see this race with unparalleled magical talent being forced to join the tribe as it was in the original timeline.

You must know that both orcs and trolls were once the mortal enemies of the elves, and they were the objects of their extreme hatred and contempt.

Therefore, the blood elves' decision to join the Horde is essentially equivalent to having to humiliatingly put aside their grudges and fight side by side with their former mortal enemies for the survival and continuation of the entire race.

Just thinking about that kind of entanglement makes people feel full of pain and struggle.

In particular, high elves have a long lifespan, and many of them have relatives or friends who died during the orc invasion.

But after joining the tribe, they had to force themselves to smile at the ugly green-skinned faces, resisting nausea and the urge to spit, shaking hands and hugging each other to express the mutual respect between allies.

trust.

This is why Zuo Si has always firmly believed that Garithos, a mentally retarded person, has committed a heinous crime by pushing a good traditional ally into the enemy camp.

It would be nice if the Kingdom of Lordaeron could be successfully recovered in the end, after all, the victor would not be blamed.

But the question is how could he be the opponent of Sylvanas after the blackening in terms of playing tricks. Not only was he directly counter-killed and lost the alliance's valuable troops, but it also led to the complete fall of Tirisfal Glades and the northern part of Silverpine Forest.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now with Calia, the new Queen of Lordaeron, Garithos has no chance of obtaining the highest command of the coalition forces, and is just a temporary commander of an army.

, you can't even leave the military camp without getting an order, so naturally you have no chance to become an oversized shit stick.

With the idea of ​​turning the entire high elf race into his followers, Zuo Si quickly got in touch with the high elf female mages who had reached an agreement, and built a direct link to the contract city of Stranglethorn Vale in two of the mage towers.

Portal.

Of course, currently, the defense system of Silvermoon City is activated, so these portals are temporarily unable to function.

But as long as the city gate is breached, the two portals can become a quick passage for citizens to evacuate.

Less than four hours after the two portals were built, the Dragon Eagle Knight, who was responsible for detecting the enemy's situation, sent back bad news.

Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner was killed by the death knight Arthas while blocking the Scourge to buy time for civilians to escape.

The ranger force she led was completely wiped out, and not even a single person escaped alive.

This big news undoubtedly shocked all high elves.

Because except for Vereesa who left Quel'Thalas to marry the human mage Ronin, the Windrunner family with its high reputation and status can be said to have been almost wiped out.

But before the high elves had time to feel sad, Arthas and the undead army he led appeared within sight of the Silvermoon City guard tower.

Looking at the endless densely packed living dead, the putrid smell rushing towards them, and the black traces of death extending from the turquoise forest, everyone felt unprecedented tension, fear and despair.

As heavy siege weapons such as meat grinders, ballistas, and catapults began to creak and build positions, a war with a long-determined outcome finally began.

There were no savage roars like the orcs and trolls made when they charged, only the loud noises and explosions made by slings and explosive barrels hitting the city walls and magic protective barriers.

As for the undead that came like a tide, whether they were killed by arrows and spells, or they successfully climbed onto the city wall to mingle with soldiers and arcane puppets, they remained eerie silent without saying a word.

No matter how many were killed or injured, and the corpses were piled up into hills, they showed no fear at all. Under the cover of the barrels of plague explosives, waves came one after another, and the ones in front of them died and the ones behind them got on top.

At the beginning, Silver Moon City could barely resist with its strong protection and large number of mages.

It didn't take long for the elven soldiers to become physically exhausted during the high-intensity battle.

When Kael'thas wanted to arrange for some people to rest in rotation and ordered the indestructible arcane puppet to hold on for a while, a huge explosive barrel suddenly passed through the obstacles under the influence of some unknown magic and landed accurately.

Among mages who channel arcane energy to unleash rains of fire and blizzards.

The next second...

BOOM!!!!!!

The green liquid carrying the terrifying plague suddenly splashed in all directions.

The mages, who never expected that they would be attacked, had no time to dodge, and more than half of them were drenched in green slime on the spot.

The harsh hissing sound and the large expanse of ulcerated skin immediately caused the injured to scream in agony.

Before the priest could react and provide treatment, more than a dozen mages died completely due to the erosion of the plague, and were later resurrected in another terrifying undead form.

Under the control of the Lich King, they did not hesitate to attack their compatriots around them.

For a moment, arcane magic mixed with shadow and death magic splashed on the city wall.

Huge holes suddenly appeared in the originally solid defense line.

In particular, the injuries and deaths of a large number of mages left a gap in the continued use of large-scale destructive magic.

Arthas seized this fleeting opportunity and directly sent out an elite army of hatred.

These fat men with high defense and thick health used their huge bodies to block all the long-range weapons flying towards them, and fell one after another on the path of the charge.
