Chapter 193 A last-ditch battle
Not everyone has the courage to jump from a great height...
The Queen witnessed her men plummet from the outskirts of Dalaran due to poor landing spots. Some landed on Dalaran's protective shield and were bounced off, some were instantly burned to ashes, and some were smashed into pieces...
The Queen remained calm in the face of the sacrifices of these forgotten people; this is war...
The opposing alliance's small aircraft also suffered casualties. The Queen would occasionally fire a few explosive black arrows, and the dwarf soldiers' aircraft were very vulnerable, with almost one arrow destroying several at a time, thus sacrificing themselves to her own forces...
In life and in death, Sylvanas had witnessed countless sacrifices and deaths on the battlefield; few were worthy of her attention... In the entire Horde, only a handful held any real significance in her eyes... As the commander of the High Elf Ranger-General, she was inherently proud, cold-blooded, and clear-headed...
Among her followers is the Witherer Nathanos, who was once her apprentice and the first human High Ranger to truly master elven archery... After being resurrected by Sylvanas herself, he now guards the Eastern Plaguelands alone.
She has very few people she can truly rely on, and she has always been wary of the dreadlord Varimathras's allegiance. Among the Forsaken, Lorraine is currently a rising star who deserves attention.
Lorraine, unaware that he's caught the eye of the icy beauty, faces a problem...
How exactly do I escape Dalaran?
The Kirin Tor, monitoring the commotion in the Sewers' Arena of Will through magical projections within Violet Castle... they discovered numerous prisoners had escaped, and several troublesome creatures had broken free of their cages...
Including several terrifying monsters from the Shadow Demon faction, such as the Voidwalker, the Gap Killer, the Space Pirate, the Mind Flayer, the Blood Princess, and the Construct Demon...
The Crow Claws... Cerberus and the Elemental Twisted Stitches, which Dalaran lost many elites in the past before finally managing to subdue.
Now they've been released by Lorraine's bombs...
Even Anegosa, the blue dragon and Malygos's loyal servant whom the Twilight Church wanted to rescue, managed to escape... She had originally used a former spatial node in Dalaran to infiltrate Dalaran, leading the Blue Dragonflight and Twilight Cultists in an attempt to destroy Dalaran.
After being defeated, he was imprisoned in the Violet Hold until he was extracted to become a living energy battery, enabling the entire city of Dalaran to fly... only then was he locked in a magical cage filled with battery pillars...
Because Little Lorraine couldn't find his rescue target, and the objects manifested by his memory magic didn't match almost any of the people in the cage... he acted haphazardly, releasing dangerous individuals...
Dalaran is in complete disarray, beset by enemies, in turmoil internally, and with a group of treacherous forces waiting to bring it crashing down...
The big shots got distracted...
Lorraine was indirectly ignored again!
He had originally planned to escape through the sewers... but since he couldn't find the person, he gave up and was already carrying someone in his arms...
Violet Hold has a secret passage connecting to the sewers... In the past, prisoners would escape through underwater passages, but this time the waterways are broken, Dalaran is suspended in the air, and the passages have been occupied by troublesome monsters.
Lorraine originally intended to escape through the waterways, but after swimming to several exits, he suddenly discovered that, apart from sharks... Dalaran's sewers contained all sorts of creatures...
There's also a giant octopus monster...
A fluid, unkillable slime...
He tried to fire an ice arrow, but the monster opposite him was completely immune to the damage, feeling nothing at all, and almost came over and swallowed him whole... Lorraine complained about where these things came from; he had forgotten that these guys were originally in a cage, and he was the one who planted the bomb...
The main sewer outlets were all blocked... This path was impassable. Looking up, even more guards surged into the arena's perimeter. These mage guards were numerous; it was unclear where they had teleported from...
Above Lorraine's head,
Warden Alturas of the Violet Warden appeared at the bottom of the mage tower, his face covered in blood, as Masters Khadgar and Mordra looked on with concern...
"What exactly happened? Why is there such a commotion downstairs?"
"It seems some remnants have infiltrated, and someone took the opportunity to sabotage the rune cage... I wonder who did it..."
Alturas, along with several archmages, had just dealt with the most troublesome mind flayers... They were scattered throughout the land searching for escaped criminals, but the current threat overhead prevented the Kirin Tor sultans from being in two places at once...
The Queen of Undercity from the Horde arrived with ill intentions, while General Stormpike from the Alliance used offensive language...
They were all high above, hanging over Dalaran.
Even if Dalaran takes to the skies, the Alliance and Horde still hold a dominant position!
Khadgar was unusually flustered; he hadn't been this embarrassed even when facing the demons of the Burning Legion! Politics wasn't something scholars should dabble in... especially not the inextricable grudges and feuds between the Horde and the Alliance... The self-proclaimed scholars and wise mages of Dalaran could never escape this vortex...
Khadgar gritted his teeth, "I am the acting Chancellor. Rhonin entrusted me with protecting this home. Now that the situation is out of control, the responsibility lies with me... As the core of the Kirin Tor, don't you have any solutions at this point?"
He had just declared Dalaran neutral, and the flames of war had already spread to Dalaran...
Since the opening of the Dark Portal 27 years ago, and since Dalaran was rebuilt, the mages haven't been this embarrassed in a long time...
Ansrem & Ruinwol have finally gotten their chance...
He stood tall and proud, sneering, "As guardians of humanity, failing to understand their own position is what brings misfortune upon them..."
“Nonsense, Ansrem! Don’t think I don’t know you’ve secretly contacted Stormpike… I’m now seeking everyone’s opinions on behalf of the Kirin Tor Council. If you’re just trying to mock me, then shut up…”
"you!"
"enough..."
The human mage, Mordra, stopped Ansrem from speaking with a single glance, then turned to the Sunreaver and said:
"You have a past with the Queen of Undercity, so you might as well negotiate with her."
He then reassured Khadgar, "Don't worry, Khadgar. All the portals you set up are open. We won't lack reinforcements... At this time, we mustn't panic. The Alliance and the Horde are not enemies. Between Undercity and Ironforge lies a mountain, a wetland, hills, rivers, and bays... They can't possibly settle things here..."
Andrei, the Draenei garrison commander who had been observing from the sidelines, stepped forward and said, "The Legion of Light stands with Dalaran... This situation was mentioned in the prophecy of the Prophet Velen. We will fight for truth and justice."
Archmage Anslem scoffed disdainfully, "A monster that looks like a demon, yet claims to be a follower of the Holy Light. I believe we can only trust humans; other races are not worthy of trust, they are all monsters!"
Azshara the Sunreaver finally spoke: "Humans learned magic...archery, even etiquette and morality from us! Despicableness is inherent to you...alliance is not in the tradition of the high elves. This is Dalaran! Dalaran is the free land of mages, and although I am a high elf, I am also a mage of Dalaran..."
"Everything for Dalaran!"
The mages shouted in unison, releasing energy together and activating the protective magic circle throughout Dalaran...
Barriers appeared around the various portals of Dalaran...
Lorraine discovered that not only underground, but also overhead, a purple barrier had appeared...
"Damn it, we're completely blocked..."
