Chapter 55

In the sky of the land of ghosts, there is a dark sky. I don't know when it will appear, but it has been hanging there all the time. In Sylvanas's memory, it was always like this when she was born. It is said that when her parents just came to this land, this dark sky had already existed.

Alsace stood on the edge of the land of ghosts. His gray eyes reflected the scene on the other side of the river. The maple leaves were in full bloom, and the air was full of fragrance. It would remind him of his memory in Lordaeron, although he didn't need those memories now.

For the dead, memories are painful, so the dead don't need sleep, but even so, every time the tide of memories comes, they will fall into the scene of the past and can't extricate themselves. When the beautiful memories collide with the cruel reality, the spirit of the dead will feel great pain.

Alsace has been used to these. Frost sorrow's evil power makes his body strong and his spirit tough. He won't be mad by the past like those low-level undead, and he won't allow his subordinates to have such a bad situation.

"Coming..."

Kel'Thuzad's deep voice rang out in Alsace's mind. The king of death knight turned around, and a delicate gem was placed on the stone behind him. In the darkness of the land of ghosts, a silver curtain of light appeared above the gem. At the other end, a man with long golden hair and blue eyes was very graceful, But the high elves with traces of time have appeared on their faces.

In terms of dress, it should be a great mage.

"Darkan, I found what you need!"

Alsace stretched out his hand and waved forward. A tall figure appeared behind him. As he approached the light curtain, the faint light lit up his face. He was thin, pale and indifferent.

"This is the most powerful warrior under my command. The most wonderful thing is that his mind is filled with secrets about defense runes. So, Darkan, now I need you to do what you promised me. When all the dust is settled, I will reward you!"

Alsace looked at the master with surprise and joy in the light curtain, and a stiff smile came out of the corner of his mouth,

"I am a generous person, whether it is the Sunwell or the secret of eternal life, I can give it to you!"

A few seconds later, the genie on the other side of the light curtain spoke. His voice was very magnetic, gentle and clear. At first sight, he was a powerful man.

In fact, he is.

Darkandrahill, one of the Lords of the Silver Moon City Council, is one of the twelve members of the Supreme Council of quelsaras, in addition to King anastalian and Prince kelsas, which is already in the position of the top of quelsaras.

But Darkan inherited all the high elves' enthusiasm for magic. He longed for stronger power, but he was also a speculator, so Darkan ignored Alsace's promise.

This Elf Mage is similar to Kel'Thuzad, but he is more rational than Kel'Thuzad. He only believes in the power he can get. So even if he is lying down with Arthas, he just wants to use the power of the king of death knights to break through the tight protection of the solar well.

As long as he can obtain the power hidden in the eternal holy water of the solar well, it will be enough for him to be supernatural.

Therefore, faced with Alsace's request, Darkan said with reserve,

"Of course, my ally, just give me a little time... I can open the door to defense runes for you, but I need a little time..."

"I'll give you time, Darkan, seven days! You only have seven days

Alsace stroked the ebony ring on his finger and said coldly,

"If I don't see the release of the defense Rune when the sun sets on the seventh day, then all the deals between you and Kel'Thuzad will spread all over Silvermoon City, and you and I know what that means."

There was a haze in Darkan's eyes, but there was no change in his face. He nodded in the spirit's special etiquette,

"Good, seven days is enough, but I need all the memory of general Theron. Remember, it's all. The defense rune is a very complicated magic structure. Even if it makes a little mistake, it will attract the attention of the day-to-day people. I can't bear the result, neither can you!"

Alsace didn't speak. He just put his hand on lothema Theron's forehead. With his fingers gently pulling outward, a gorgeous silver spark appeared on Alsace's fingertips. He moved it to the surface of the gem. The next moment, the happy voice of darcan came.

"Ah... I feel it. It's these things, the secret dictated by the high-level Ranger troops. Good, I know!"

The light curtain broke, Arthas stroked it gently, and the gemstone that had turned into powder was swept to one side. The voice of Kel'Thuzad sounded again.

"Darkan is not a good collaborator, I can only do this step!"

"Enough, as long as the defense rune is opened, I will do the rest myself. These stupid elves believe in the power of magic, but they will soon see the power that will not be succumbed by magic!"

Arthas turned to the indifferent death knight, lothema Theron, and said with a smile,

"That's the real power!"

In the laughter of Alsace, the land of the ghost is quiet again. As the replacement of Sylvanas, lothema Theron, the original Regent of the elves in history, his fate has also been changed.

After Sylvanas fled, Alsace quickly found a substitute, as a means of showing his strength, he personally gave new life to losema Theron, who died in the war. Before Kel'Thuzad was resurrected, losema, whose strength was only a line lower than Sylvanas, became the first general under Alsace.

The 4000 reinforcements led by lothema and the Rangers destroyed by the whole army of Sylvanas, in addition to the hundreds who fled at the last moment, also accompanied by their commanders, became the sharpest battle bow of the undead.

Of course, Dick doesn't know the change of lothema's fate, nor does Sylvanas. They are now quietly marching towards Quel'Thalas along the river bank not far from Fengxing village. As Sylvanas said, after Fengxing village and Jinwu village were destroyed, the dead were transferred away, leaving only a miserable ruin.

Dick stretched out his hand and made a stop. Everyone sat in the middle of the forest. After the tamed horses, they seemed to know the bad situation. They just ate the grass from the Knights and recovered their strength.

Myra, Dick, Sylvanas and lyadeline were sitting at the front. They were eating cold dry food and discussing the next plan.

"As long as you cross Jinwu village tonight, you can reach the river bank of the land of ghosts. Opposite is Yongge forest in the defense rune, where there is a portal directly to Yinyue City, so as long as you get there, we will be safe!"

Sylvanas used a twig to draw the general shape of the haunted land and Yongge forest on the ground, while Dick frowned,

"How far is Jinwu village from the takilin battlefield?"

"It takes about four hours to march with all our strength. Our route is equivalent to walking around the battlefield of taquillin."

Lyadeline explained to Dick, "Sylvanas pointed to the right way. This way is enough to get rid of our pursuers. This section of the road is very difficult. Only real Rangers know the shortcut we have taken."

"Well..."

Dick nodded. Although he was still a little disgusted with Sylvanas, he had already seen the skill of a Ranger general in his escape. Sylvanas was the best, whether as a sentry or a post-mortem. She even killed three disgusting pits in the mud with four simple traps.

From Dick's point of view, this Ranger general, in essence, should be regarded as a mixture of shooting hunter and survival hunter. Besides not having animal companions, her ability is as amazing as her figure.

"What I'm worried about now is that Alsace probably laid a defense line along the edge of the land of the ghost, and his forces are enough for him to spend."

Dick took out his pipe, took two puffs, and then pointed to Sylvanas' simple map,

"You see, there are only six bridges across the river in the border between the land of the ghost and the forest of Yongge. As long as he divides one third of the soldiers, it will be enough to block these places tightly. According to the Ranger general, hadulen and Theron withdraw Quel'Thalas. Even if they receive the signal for help, it will take at least 20 minutes for them to come here."

"No... it won't take that long. We don't even need reinforcements."

Sylvanas sipped her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"This belongs to the secret information of the Ranger troops. Let's say that I have to ask you to go to Jinwu village for a reason. There is a small wharf, which is the secret stronghold of the Ranger troops. There are five boats driven by magic. As long as we get there, we will have full confidence to enter Quel'Thalas."

"So, just get to Jinwu village?"

Myra - Dawn blade's excited eyes are wide open, although as paladins, it is their duty to eradicate evil, but the endless fighting in recent days has already bored everyone, including Dick.

"Yes, as long as we get to Jinwu village, but... The terrain there is a depression. It's a natural trap. Once Alsace sets up an ambush there, we can't escape!"

Sylvanas's face was dignified. "Although this is only a secret known by the high-level Ranger troops, I'm not sure whether this secret has been exposed. If you want to be clear, it's a gamble!"

"No... it's actually our only chance."

Dick took a look at lyadeline and breathed a sigh of relief,

"I kept a secret from you all the time. In fact, our food is not enough for half a day, and the horses and knights are exhausted to the extreme. The comfort of the holy light is also limited. If this continues, everyone will collapse, so the wharf in Jinwu village is our only chance!"

Dick stood up and put the last mouthful of dry food in his mouth,

"Distribute all the holy water. Don't use it sparingly. Myra, you and your brothers are responsible for the protection of lyadeline and her pastors. Separate out 10 less injured brothers and me to be the candidates for the post-mortem. This time, you must send everyone to Quel'Thalas!"

Myra and lyadeline nodded, and Dick finally looked at Sylvanas,

"Madam general, I hope you can really fulfill your responsibility after crossing the river. Quel'Thalas is not as solid as you think. Alsace didn't show up this day. You must have thought of the worst result. Once the high elves are broken, the defense line of Lordaeron will face terrible pressure from the north, We are a grasshopper on the rope now. Saving you is equivalent to saving ourselves. I hope you can bring these words to your king and let him really understand what Quel'Thalas is facing now! "

Ranger general closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and nodded. Dick nodded, looking at Myra and lyadeline,

"Well, let's have a rest. In two hours, we'll go to Jinwu village!"
