Seeing the skeletal dragon in the sky being firmly held back by the joint efforts of mages and constructs, the high elf commander Lor'themar Theron finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of peace in his heart.
For him, the pressure brought by the undead natural disaster is too much.
In fact, Lor'themar was originally just a captain in the ranger force. Although his status was not low, it was nothing more. The position of commander was never his turn.
He took up the position of commander purely because he had to rush to the shelves.
In Quel'Thalas, the military's only allegiance is to the Sunstriders, the royal family of the high elves. Generally speaking, high elves organize an army, and its commander is either a king or a prince.
Of course, in many cases, kings and princes are just spiritual symbols of the army, and some actual commanders are needed underneath. This position is usually filled by one of the more prestigious legion commanders from each legion, such as Salorian Morningseeker of the Morning Frontier legion, or Ranger General Hill.Nas, wait...
But sometimes, things just don't happen.
When Vereesa brought news of the undead invasion to Silvermoon City, the two most qualified people in Silvermoon City to lead the army, Alleria and Sylvanas, had already taken leave and left for the human world, while the other was Block the enemy on the front line. In addition, Salorian Dawnseeker, recognized as the strongest warrior by the high elves, was guarding the Sunwell. In the end, he had to let Sylvanas' adjutant, Lothar, who had experienced several battles such as the Battle of Zul'Aman and the Orc War, Ma became the commander.
The Elf King's support of the Sunwell before the war confirmed this position.
To be honest, Lor'themar, who had been Sylvanas's adjutant for a long time and took command for the first time, was still very panicked - especially after the news came that the frontline ranger troops had been wiped out.
Even Sylvanas, whom he admired most, was defeated by his enemies (he guessed). Can he lead the high elves to resist them?
Facts have proved that Lor'themar eventually became the regent of the high elves (or blood elves) in the official history, and he indeed had the corresponding abilities.
Faced with the huge number of undead and the endless methods, he calmly used every trick and managed to control the situation.
For this, he also paid the price of insufficient mobile troops.
But the price was not worth it. At least he maintained the integrity of the front and prevented the limited number of elves from being dragged into the chaotic battle between the two armies. Lor'themar knew very well that in a chaotic battle, the quality advantage of the elves' individual soldiers would be greatly weakened, and the opponent's numerical advantage could be fully utilized. Once that happened, it would be self-destruction. As long as he can maintain the current situation, no matter whether he marches or retreats next, his side will be invincible. Even if a flaw is found, the elite Scourge Army on the front line will be completely annihilated sooner or later.
But Lor'themar is still too young.
Just as he was staring at the battlefield, trying to find the next opportunity to fight, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to tremble, like an earthquake.
No, this feeling is different from an earthquake. Lor'themar, who had participated in the orc war, was all too familiar with this kind of vibration. It was clearly the kind of vibration that would occur when a large number of cavalry charged together.
Lor'themar looked into the distance, and rows of long steel walls came into view. Lor'themar knew very well that he had seen a similar scene, it was like a group of human armored heavy cavalry charging on the Hillsbrad Hills. Lor'themar knew very well that the enemies in front of him could never be those human cavalry, but they were also covered in heavy armor from man to horse, and they were also holding their spears levelly.
The only differences are the colors of their armor and flags, and the undead horses with only skeletons left under their crotches.
This is a group charge from the undead disaster death knights.
Since he has seen it with his own eyes, Lor'themar naturally knows how powerful the cavalry is. The impact of this steel monster is a nightmare for light infantry. Only a sufficient number of heavily armored warriors can temporarily block their impact.
Lor'themar finally realized that he had been tricked by the enemy. The enemy had not used this army just for now, in order to give his army a fatal blow after containing all his trump cards, and help the infantry to overwhelm the elven array. , forcing them into a melee.
Until then, Lor'themar still didn't panic. Having witnessed heavy cavalry charges, he naturally knew their weakness, which was speed.
The heavy armor worn by men and horses not only gave the heavy cavalry a powerful impact, but also inevitably slowed them down. This speed is not slower than that of infantry, but it is enough for him.
Before these iron cans rush in front of the elves, it is enough for the mage group to release two to three waves of spells on them, and these spells are enough to completely make the heavy knights lose their combat effectiveness.
"It's a pity, undead, that you still underestimate the number of high elf mages."
Muttering to himself to his opponent, Lor'themar immediately issued an order and mobilized his last mage group.
To deal with cavalry, the best spells are naturally those that change the terrain, such as [Fossils] [For Mud], such as [Swamp Technique], sudden changes in the environment and soft land can slow down the cavalry to the greatest extent, and even trap these iron cans.
However, the nearby terrain has just been cast [Turn Mud into Stone] ], becomes very hard, so this type of magic cannot be used for a while.
But it doesn't matter, the mages have many methods.
Soon, various offensive spells, such as [Fireball]】、【Pyroblast】、【Ice Arrow】、【[Arcane Missile] Wait... It was launched in the direction of the death knight. It seemed that the next moment, this cavalry would be overturned.
Seeing this scene, Baron Rivendell, who personally led the charge, showed a cruel smile on his face.
Then, a green shell appeared on all the death knights in an instant.
That's one of the death knight's signature skills——【Anti-magic Shield] is different from the Paladin's almost invincible indiscriminate shield [Holy Shield Technique]. The anti-magic shield consumes less and is specialized in anti-magic ability. Although this spell has a short duration, it can resist almost all magic for the duration, until the shield can no longer bear it.
In the horrified eyes of Lor'themar and the mages, all the spells thrown at them were absorbed by the green shield. Then the color of the green shield became lighter, but the death knights were already not far away from the flanks of the elven army. Far
"Damn, how could this happen."
The unexpected scene completely panicked Lor'themar. He never thought that his enemy would have such a"magical skill", otherwise he would choose other ways to deal with it. [Anti-magic Shield] is not invincible. Lor'themar can use physical professions to deal with them, or he can leave more mages to fight against them - he can see that the magic that the [Anti-Magic Shield] can absorb is limited.
But everything is just a hypothesis, the fact is, Lor'themar was tricked by his opponent once due to asymmetric information, and this time he almost reversed the entire battle.
He seemed to have seen that the high elf army was broken into from the flank, and what followed was a massacre..
Just when the novice commander was about to despair, something unexpected happened on the battlefield.
Several arrows shot from a distance with unparalleled power, instantly shooting several death knights to the ground.
On the earth, Dozens of black tentacles shot up from the ground and instantly wrapped around the undead horses near them, causing a wave of people to flip over.
In front of the dark army, a golden figure with a pair of light wings descended from the sky and stopped them. In front of me.
At the same time, an all-too-familiar female voice suddenly sounded in the commander's ears.
"What's the matter, Aqiang? I don't remember teaching you to fight like this, do I?"
